Salt Lake City, UT- New data presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's Scientific Congress shows that pesticides, artificial sweeteners, and sugar found in women's diets can negatively affect their chances of IVF success.
Salt Lake City, UT- Two studies presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's Scientific Congress looking at Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) show that bariatric surgery can improve androgen excess and ovarian enlargement as well as result in weight loss, and that women with PCOS are at increased risk for eating disorders.
Salt Lake City, UT- New science presented at the Scientific Congress of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine makes clear the harmful effects endocrine disrupting chemicals have on the children of men exposed to phthalates, pre-conception, and on young female mammals exposed to an estrogen disrupting chemical at a particularly vulnerable stage of their development. And a health literacy study in which women seeking fertility care answered questions about environmental chemical exposure showed they were less informed about endocrine disruptors than other harmful chemicals.

Some rules make sense, but others are egregious
A conversation among Blue Earth City Council members this week illuminates a clear problem in that city, and likely elsewhere: overregulation.
A?City Council member told his colleagues this week that some homeowners are peeved that the city doesn't seem to be granting variances for construction on residential property. In fact, only one variance has been granted in the past six months.
Blue Earth's mayor sat down and read the city ordinance governing variances. His conclusion? The law seems to make it impossible to grant a variance. "We're discouraging people from doing stuff in our town," he said, referring to improvements that are put off or never happen.
The City Attorney notes that state standards have become more strict, putting pressure on cities. What to do about it seems an open question.
All of this is awful, and begs questions about how we have transformed from a nation of individual rights and liberties to one that is mired in constant and overreaching oversight by government at all levels. It is one thing to have zoning laws so that a factory does not open in a quiet neighborhood. It is another to enact and enforce rules that do little more than obstruct and frustrate property owners, sometimes seemingly for little more reason than to give bureaucrats something to do.
We hope Blue Earth can work something out to accommodate rather than stymie local home improvements. We hope our state lawmakers, for their part, recognize this issue and get to work on it.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (240 votes).
In short: Great organisation, but beware the hill, not as described lolIn full: Can't fault the organisation, had the massive car park running like clockwork, chip hand out was faultless and quick (though why they weren't posted like other races is a mystery). As always a 30 minute queue for the toilets, portaloos must be expensive, but same at all events. Awesome start, spot on time for a change! My only criticism would be the description of the route "The route generally uses well-maintained tracks with gentle inclines". They weren't even remotely gentle! From km 2-3 you drop 110m then climb back up until km 11 with a few dips, you then drop another 100m and climb again up some very steep inclines. My garmin recorded a 1km drop and climb overall.Don't get me wrong this maybe normal for trail runners but I wasn't expecting it and felt mislead by "gentle inclines" lol.That said squeaked in a PB, just so v happy. A nice course, great organisation, but I'm going to stick to road running :-)Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Oh, so that's what 'undulating' means.In full: Really good morning of running in the forest. Thanks to all the organisers and marshals.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In full: Fantastically organised, signposted very well. Plenty of car parking. Lots of toilets. very well marshalled, spectators wonderful at lots of places along the route. Sports drinks at the finish along with boiled sweets and the very very wonderful massage tent free for all! Fantastic 1st half marathon, everyone should try it. Well done guys.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Sorry - I wrote the review below but forgot to click one key box. Yes I would do it again!Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Not easy, but a brilliant raceIn full: A brilliantly organised forest run on tracks which were, thanks to the recent lack of rain, mostly very solid. A few stretches of loose stones and a couple of fairly steep hills kept things interesting (mile 2-3 is entirely downhill, which is nice, but then there's that niggling feeling that you'll have to go back up at some point...). But the big thing I'd say is that it's great value and very well organised - chip timing, clear marshalling and signposting, nice hefty medal and time zones at the start are all nice touches that are sometimes missed. My only complaint would be that water was given out in cups rather than bottles, but this race is hardly unique in that - and the fact that I managed to sneak home early enough to get a free top 50 t-shirt was more than enough to compensate for a few facefuls of water. Good job FODH! Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Please stop fiddling with the CourseIn full: Nice run again today although the sneaky hill slipped in at 1/2 way was crafty. Lots of recent changes in the course though make year on year comparisons difficult . Parking exit seemed a bit better . All sounds a bit moany ...sorry to Organisers , actually they do a pretty good job of it ! Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: A great introduction to trail runningIn full: A great day out. Maybe not a great chance of a half marathon pb but still must be considered reasonably quick for this class of event. Some steep downhills at the start and a degree of concentration required to deal with the loose conditions underfoot but nothing too specialist. I had been told i would need a trail shoe but my usual road trainers were fine. I would recommend this event to anyone considering a trail event for the first time.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Excellent, well organised and fun trail raceIn full: Really enjoyed this one - it made a change from running around a city centre or rural country lanes. Excellent organisation and parking, (for me) 25 yards from the finish line! Chip pickup was quick and efficient, water stations every 3 miles and well marshalled. Crowd support at various points throughout the course was good and excellent at the finish.Course is undulating with some fairly short, steep sections but otherwise a really good mix of up and down. I thought it might be a bit congested but it seemed OK for me finishing in the 1:40 crowd.Definitely one to do again next year for a change from the usual road stuff...Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: My 6th and toughest half. Be prepared for the hills. In full: Well organised, good price and lovely location. I found it quiet on the course and missed the volume of spectators that accompany the road races I usually do - others might find this a plus point though. The spectators that were there were very encouraging though. It was my first non road race which I found challenging - uneven underfoot, quite a lot of lose stones and a few steep hills to cope with - not my forte! I would suggest taking your own drinks as the water stations give out cups which are hard to drink on the move and I ended up with 1 or 2 mouthfuls only. Overall, not a good race for me but if you like quieter scenic routes and don't mind a few hills, I'm sure you'll love it. Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Really enjoyed this- far better than I expectedIn full: This was one of the most enjoyable races I have ever done, very friendly, supportive runners, supporters and marshals and very well organised. Nothing like as many hills as I was expecting and so much downhill. A really gooe finish too. I'll definitely be back next yearDate of review: March 27, 2011

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Trip Page
Earlier today, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered remarks after meeting with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani and discussing a broad range of issues. Secretary Clinton said:
"There are many reasons for my visit here to Qatar. We have a broad range of issues to discuss. Certainly, we talked in depth about Iran. The Emir has a lot of very well-developed and informed opinions about Iran that he shared with me.
We made it clear that we want to, as we have from the beginning of President Obama's term, engage with Iran. And President Obama has consistently said that he is willing to do so. Unfortunately, that has not been received positively by the Iranians.
We have always had a dual track policy, because we believe that it is important for the stability and the peace of the region that Iran not acquire nuclear weapons. They are going to have to make a decision as to which direction they will go. And we are going to continue to work with our friends and partners in the region, as well as countries around the world, to send a clear message to the Iranians, and to take action in the Security Council that sends that message that we do not believe that Iran should be a nuclear weapons power. We believe they do have a right to peaceful nuclear power, and we stand ready to engage with them. But we are going to have to move forward in the absence of any positive response..."Full Text
Debbie F. in Maryland writes:
I think it is important to not appear to be talking down to nor acting in a cocky manner by using words that will not be understood by your audience. ? End Game? This to me is counter productive.
Basically, we want for 1. Iran to stop their nuclear plan as we see it to be a step in the wrong direction for peace as a whole and in the region. 2. Better human rights for its populus.
Power is a very important thing to current leadership and its backing. So, how do we show them a better way to still have power by tweaking and fixing #1 and 2? Their attitude of we will do whatever we please is not going to change without intervention.
The world has to unify and get involved. Not just the US. We can talk till our faces are blue and they are not going to change. While sitting on our heels they will continue to expand their nuclear program. We have to act quickly by setting up a time table with clear objectives of how to proceed. Attach to this must be consequences. . . .

Pork Chops in the Style of Beneventana: Costole di Maiale Beneventana
Recipe courtesy of Mario Batali
- Molto Mario
- 4 center cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
- Salt and pepper
- Flour, for dredging
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons wild fennel seeds, or use regular fennel seeds, and grind 1 teaspoon in a spice grinder to simulate pollen, plus some to garnish
- 1 cup high-quality white wine
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 fennel fronds, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and dredge them in the flour.
In a 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil until almost smoking. Add the pork chops and cook 1 minute on each side, until evenly browned. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon fennel seed on 1 side of the chops. Turn and sprinkle the remaining teaspoon on the other side. Add wine and garlic, and place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until just cooked through.
Remove the chops to a plate and keep warm. Over medium heat, cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add the fennel fronds to the hot liquid and cook 1 minute more, allowing fronds to wilt. Remove the garlic and pour the wine sauce over the chops, garnishing with the fennel fronds and wild fennel pollen.

Graftobian Foundation Tutorial
I finally uploaded a new video...sorry it's been a while, but i'm back!. I decided to do this video on Graftobian foundation and skin products because I already highlighted some of the eyeshadow and other makeup products in my last entry. I wanted to dedicate an entire post to the skin and foundation products because they're just that awesome. In my posts I try to be completely unbiased and give you a detailed opinion about the product, performance and price....that way you can see if you want to invest in the product. FYI, another long post, lol!
Check out my foundation/contouring video using Graftobian Products. Very helpful for learning to contour with cream products.
Graftobian Oxyderm Moisturizer
In my tutorial, I started with priming and moisturizing my face with Graftobian Oxyderm moisturizer. If any of you are familiar with the famed makeup Artist KJ Bennett (he is the head MUA for Makeup Forever) he mentions this moisturizer as one of his fav in his unbiased kit website . It doesn't break me out at all, and it reminds me of my beloved Cetaphil moisturizer except not as greasy and it absorbs more easily into the skin. Best of all, my sensitive skin had no reactions to it...that's a plus! This is definitely a great addition to your kit or own skincare regimen. The price is pretty comparable to most good quality, department store brands.
Corrector Palette
Next, I corrected my undereye circles using the light orange color the left. It helps to cancel out the dark blue/green under my skin. The colors in this palette correct different skin conditions/discolorations. For example, the yellow cancels out purple undereye circles, the green cancels out redness like rosacea, and the light pink acts as a highlight color. This is a MUST HAVE for a makeup artist's kit. I haven't seen many palettes that have all the basic corrector colors like this. The price is very affordable at $21.99 (less than MUFE concealer palettes) or you can get each color individually for only $7.99. That's a great deal for those who want to buy a corrector on their own for their personal use.
Super Cream Palette - Warm Tones
Next, I used the Super Cream Palette to apply foundation. I picked a color to match my skin tone and scooped a pea size drop onto my Graftobian steel palette. I then mixed it with my Oxyderm moisturizer to thin out the consistency and sheer out coverage. I applied it to areas of my place where I wanted to highlight my features. Next, I took a shade 2-3 shades darker and applied it onto my face in the contour areas (i.e. sides of nose, hollows of cheek bones). I then used a damp sponge to blend it out. This is how the celebrities get contoured...think Tyra, Oprah, and Monique.
I get a lot of questions about foundation palette recommendations for a kit. I used to recommend RCMA KO and Shinto palettes because of the great amount of colors in one palettte. However, I found RCMA a lot dryer and denser. You HAVE to use their foundation thinner with it. It has a lot of colors, which is why I recommended it, but it was hard to use. The Graftobian palette is the best of both worlds. A lot of convenient colors in one case, and super easy to blend! I definitely recommend this for other makeup artists. They also have a cool tones palette and neutral tones palette which I intend on adding to my kit as well! 18 foundation shades for $64.99...that's about $3.61 per color...can't beat that! Each foundation well will also last you a super long time since they're so concentrated and pigmented.
Dual Finish Foundation Palette - Neutral Tones
Afterwards, I used the Dual Foundation palette to set the foundation. I used a mix of the lighter tones to highlight and then moved to the darker tones to enhance the contour colors. This palette is a life saver if you accidentally miss the mark on matching foundation...if you go too light, just sweep a powder brush over a tanner shade and you can correct any mistakes immediately. It's also great to have as a powder foundation for men, children, or those who don't need a lot of coverage. I don't know what I'd do without this in my kit. For $79.99 you can get the pre-filled palette...or you can order it individually at $8.50 for each full sized pan. Seriously though, $8.50 for this amazing foundation? You really can't beat that.
Powder Blush in Shiny Penny
To add the finishing touch I used the Graftobian blush in Shiny Penny. This is a reddish orange color with gold shimmers. Talk about pigmented! I talked about this a little bit in my last review but I'm telling you....this is amazing. I use it with a fan brush to apply subtle color but this will work on the lightest to darkest skin tones, hands down.
Now onto pics of my newly concealed, corrected, higlighted, contoured, and blushed face!
Make sure to check out the products at Graftobian.com or Camera Ready Cosmetics.

Ren, thanks for this, I've been looking around for some good foundation, something not too heavy and good correctors, but I like things in a palette and this is perfect, the application looked nice, so I'm going to get these because they are affordable, thanks a lot

Strange Fire starts tomorrow. Throughout the last several months building up to the conference, we've heard critics saying that we don't understand the true nature of the charismatic movement—that we've chosen too broad a brush to paint with. Defenders are quick to point out that any negative elements only represent the outer edges of an otherwise healthy Christian movement.
But is that an honest assessment? Is it true that the loudest, most notable charismatic voices only represent a rogue, fringe element? Is the heart of the movement truly committed to the sufficiency and supremacy of Scripture? And is the genuine work of the Holy Spirit identifiable amidst manifestations of bizarre signs and wonders?
In the following video, John MacArthur gives his assessment of the charismatic legacy:
We understand that not every charismatic preaches heresy, perverts Scripture, contrives miracles, or fleeces his flock. But the overwhelming tide of the movement drags people away from biblical literacy, spiritual discernment, and disciplined maturity.
From the beginning of our conference promotion, we have worked to encourage faithful charismatics to be vocal critics of the abuses they see within the charismatic movement. We will continue to give that encouragement throughout the conference as our speakers lift up the sufficiency of Scripture and the Person and work of the Holy Spirit.
We hope you'll join us for rich exhortation and encouragement from the Word of God. Please be sure to watch via the free live stream at tmstrangefire.org.

God is at work in and through His people. I praise God that the wicked works of darkness are being exposed to the light of the Word of God. We can't be quiet any longer. The Church is regarded in scripture as the pillar and ground of the truth, and not a den of iniquity. We are the representatives of the Lord Jesus, and we need to be the people that God has called us to be. Our place as Saints is to be dedicated to the service of the Lord. "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
I was once in the charismatic movement about 5 years ago. At the age of 18 the Lord saved me from the clutches of Satan of a life of crime and darkness. I was attending a charismatic church at that time however I was taught that I had to maintain my salvation. I was taught that I had to speak in tongues, that I had to have these experiences to be truly saved and perhaps if I had enough of these experiences then maybe I would be sealed for the day of redemption. Not only did I spend my Christian life in fear, you had to serve the pastor of the church constantly. I had to wipe his sweat away from his face, there were people who competed in bringing him water because we were told that we would receive a reward for such service. I know we are suppose to honor our spiritual leaders and I do but this was taken to a level of serving the pastor extensively at every moment. The pastor was the object of everyone's worship, even though it was unspoken our actions screamed it out, everyone was battling to be in the pastor's good graces and blessings. During the worship service he would tell the congregation "Some times you have to fall on the floor and flap a like a fish." The members would do so as he stated supposing that made them a true worshipper or a better worshipper than someone else. Only one of the church pioneers was mentioned, Martin Luther, but never discussed who he was or what he taught in depth. The sermon would start with a couple of passages and the rest was he could hear people's conversation even though they were out of normal sight and hearing, or how your breakthrough (health or wealth) was on its way. Eventually I became an elder of the church and a Sunday School teacher. As I begin to study the Word of God in depth I saw where the pastor was not saying the same thing as the Word of God. When I taught or preached I was openly insulted in front of the congregation for studying too much. In trying to adhere to the pastor I stopped studying and fell into sin. Because of God's grace I am no longer in that place of worship, I am at a bible church that teaches the Word of God, that led me to listen to men like John MacArthur, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Jonathon Edwards etc. Through the preaching of the Word of God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit I am worshipping and serving Him in spirit and in truth. I am praying for the Strange Fire conference, for a blessing for the speakers (thank you John MacArthur for allowing God to use you to spread the truth you are one of the agents God used to help free me from the clutches of deception) and for the deliverance of those in that movement. While there may be some charismatics who are trying to stand on the Word of God that doesn't excuse the thousands upon thousands who are lost eternally and, those who may be saved, that are extensively deceived. This deception has hurt an insurmountable amount of people and even if you are freed it is only the grace of God that helps you recover. God bless.
Whilst I believe charismatic theology is false, I wouldn't be quite as negative as pastor John is here.
The charismatic movement has undoubtedly revitalised thousands of churches and deepened the faith of numerous christians. It has brought about an increased and genuine desire for prayer, worship, bible study, and evangelism, and lots of people have come to saving faith in Jesus as a result. I also know that many have done theological training and gone into full-time ministry as a result of the charismatic movement.
Yes, the crazy end of the movement is particularly dangerous, but many churches do manage to keep it at a distance. And there is a bit of heresy in all of us.
But there is one thing that really strikes me. Through contemporary worship music, the charismatic movement has brought a lot of joy into the church. Evangelicalism was historically associated with miserable christians and dull church services. This is far less so today, even in non-charismatic churches. I doubt the change would have happened if it wasn't for the charismatic movement shaking things up
And, to my mind, if you say that nothing good has come out of the charismatic movement, you cannot use any music written by charismatic authors. Even Grace Community Church doesn't go that far.
I am not endorsing the charismatic movement or promoting all contemporary worship music. It's just that a proper evaluation is not straightforward.
Look forward to this... The H.S. can't be controlled or put in a box.. Amen... Thank you and God bless you and your mission
I live in Lewis County, NY. There are several charismatic churches here and many new buildings going up. The Mennonites seem to be doing well too. Beside these a few Independent Baptist congregations. All have serious theological maladies. After two years in an Independent Baptist Church (King James Only, of course ) my patience was completely exhausted and I bid them farewell with a heavy heart. Only the aberrant doctrines were to blame; we enjoyed the fellowship. Any thoughts on this sect? I know you're dealing with the charismatics, but I think this group is perverting the truth also(even though they seem legitimate). It has been difficult for us lately. Although there is no persecution here, if a man stands for the truth he will suffer. Christ said it would be so. I will not deny my Lord or his Word. Any advice for a churchless Calvinist? Any word of comfort? Any man willing to try and bring life to a theological desert? Thank you for your labor in the Lord. Sincerely, John and Jessica Moore. God be with you all. Amen.
I live in Mexicali Mexico. Im not sure if I am still part of a charismatic church, since last may 2013 that i saw a very famous pastor from Guatemala doing excentric things and then say that it was the "power of the Holy Spirit"...i see that video with confidence because my local pastor used to talk good things about that other pastor. When i saw people on the floor as if they were in a convulsion,an atack I understood that It wasnt from God. Then when I listened for the first time the anouncement of this conference i print the information, my pastor said that it is not good for me see this conference but i choose do not go back to that church. I read instead the book : Diferencias doctrinales entre carismaticos y no carismaticos ( I think is named just Carismatics in english ) I have seen a lot of videos on youtube from pastor MacArthur and nao i can see the light a bout it. I have no congregation now, just my 1490 am kgba I use to listen grace to you there...i am waiting for this event since monts ago. God Bless you
I am living in the UK therefore due to the time difference the live stream is no viable. Is it possible to download the conference addresses
From the Charismatic movement has come emotionalism and seven eleven songs. Emotionalism - looking for a 'feeling' instead of truth and knowledge. Seven-eleven songs - seven words sung eleven time. Emotionalism and seven eleven songs are combined in a wicked attempt to force people to experience something. The emotional 'high' gained in a Charismatic service doesn't last past the parking lot and the seven eleven songs are boring beyond measure.
It is very sad to see so-called contemporary music replace music that is both uplifting, scripturally sound, and true worship of God. Charismatic music has -unfortunately - made its way into many non-charismatic churches. It is a toe-hold of the 'feel-good' movement that leads to feel-good preaching. And people look for more and more personal emotional responses leading to more preaching for emotional responses than true conversions. The beginning of charismatic heresy creeping into a sound church is the music.
Referencing comment (10): "Whilst I believe charismatic theology is false.......(the) movement has undoubtedly revitalised thousands of churches and deepened the faith of numerous christians. It has brought about an increased and genuine desire for prayer, worship, bible study, and evangelism, and lots of people have come to saving faith in Jesus as a result."
Really? False doctrine (theology) accomplishes revitalization, deep faith, increased desire for prayer, etc....and even saving faith? There is certainly heresy in that!
Praise the LORD for this Conference and the men with the courage to speak the truth in genuine love; refuting false teaching, and leading untaught, unstable, and the deceived toward saving faith.
i really hope this conference gives people the clarity of the gifts. i live on a christian camp and all the churches that come for retreats are charismatic. what i believe is that GOD can do anything at any given second. alot of the charismatics i have talked to if you do not believe in their ways you are not saved or have a demon. i have dealt with this issue for a year and half. i am a new christian and i really learned alot about this issue. and i hope alot of charismatics will learn the truth from this conference. by the way with the help of a couple of people at GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH they showed me thru the bible what the real truth is.
Ok, so I am interested in reading this book, I have been reading a lot about the Person of the Holy Spirit over the past year. My comments here are not accusatory in tone, they are just saying what they are saying. It is so hard to tell when only writing in this format and not seeing facial expressions and hearing inflection.
My first question is (and may not be related to all of this) why do Christians call themselves anything else other than Christians? Why should I call myself a Lutheran or a Calvinist and such. If we are following Christ, we are all Christians.
There is much in the Charismatic Movement I am not completely aware of, but I am not a 'cessationist' by any means. I don't know that I need to get into all of that, but know that I am coming from all of this from the viewpoint of someone who grew up in a Pentacostal-labeled church.
In the Christian community there has been a lot of finger pointing and fighting and I really don't think it does us a lot of good to do that. It's that viewpoint of the World that says, 'They can't even get along with themselves...why should we join a church?' I do believe there is a lot of apostasy happening in individual churches around the world. I believe that there are issues within the 'mega-church' community and the idea of building a social gospel that are detrimental to the Gospel message as a whole.
I have attended many different individual Pentacostal and non-denominational churches over my life and I was never told anything other than we are saved by God's grace and that the Holy Spirit lives within us from the moment we are saved. Water baptism is not taught as a way to salvation, Spirit baptism is not taught as a way to salvation or even as a way to secure salvation, neither is Spirit baptism always evidenced by speaking in tongues. People are not looked down on for never speaking in tongues. The only way to salvation is Jesus through the redemptive work He did for us on the cross.
One of the major things I have always been taught in church (all Pentacostal btw) is that we HAVE to be discerning of spirits and know from whom we are hearing. One of the things that I have heard of, but never been around, is the animal noises in worship. This seems to be coming from a spirit other than the Holy Spirit and I can't understand why it persists in churches. Another thing that has me totally baffled is the talking to snakes thing...I can't get my mind, heart or spirit around that as a ministry at all.
As Christians we are part of the body of Christ and I can't wait for the day that we drop all the division and can be as we were meant to be (which will likely not happen this side of Heaven). Christ's ministry was one that was deeply rooted in love...love for God and love for the people he was speaking to...that none should perish.

Skip to comments.The Ugly Side of the Southern Belle
Posted on 01/16/2013 6:05:31 PM PST by Bon of Babble
From 1921, when the contest began in Atlantic City, through World War II, only one woman representing a former Confederate state won the competition. Then, beginning in 1947, when a woman from Memphis earned the top honor, the fortunes of Southern contestants rose precipitously. From 1950 to 1963, seven southerners were crowned (each served the following year), including back-to-back wins by Mississippians in 1958 and 1959 though southerners made up only one-fifth of the possible winners.
These were, of course, the years when black Southerners opened a full-scale campaign against Jim Crow, prompting a bitter backlash by white Southerners. White resistance began in earnest in 1954, when the Supreme Court issued Brown v. Board of Education, its decision to desegregate public schools.

For those with white guilt I tell them that white people ended slavery on this continent and several others, so there is no reason to feel guilt. If someone wants to fight slavery they should go to the Mideast where east Asians are abused by Arabs. I believe some Asian nanny was beheaded just the other day.

I thought you might have something to say about this nonsense. I would ping the MS Ping list, but I can't cut and paste on this machine.
I will say this much... hey blain... avoid ever meeting me at any cost.
What I mean by that is I would bitch slap him... nothing more... don't want the Gestapo to worry.
we still do get "Garden and Gun" regularly, and I love the articles about female gun enthusiasts. There is a gun group in SC that calls itself "GRITS" = Girls Really InTo Shooting."
Of course, I'm a GRITS also: grandma raised in the South! :)
"And WHY is that? Why do you HATE white women so much? What do they do that frightens you so much? What is SO worrying about that peaceful expression"

The feeling is mutual.
Well, I frankly doubt that you ever tangled with Eschoir or Dan Moldy, dearheart.

It's all in their eyes.
Agree, the end of this ignoble exercise, the NYTimes cannot happen soon enough, in my estimation.
What an incoherent argument. She must have been really jealous of the pretty girls when she was growing up, and now that she has a soapbox, she is throwing the worst insult at them that she can think of. She totally fails to show a link between Southern beauty queens and racism, such a strange leap, and absolutely no critical thinking skills.

If the tips of the tines on the dish basket of your dishwasher have started to rust or discolor, try this trick from Robert Meyer of Fort Wayne, Ind. Cover the rusted tips with 1-inch lengths of electrical shrink tubing and use a heat gun to shrink them around the tines. You�ll save yourself the expense of replacing the dish basket, and the shrink tubing will keep the rust from staining your dishes.

Zia soccer starts fresh
August 22, 2007
The Eastern New Mexico University women's soccer team will take on a bit of a different look this fall.
Four players who were original members of the squad in 2003 have graduated, including all-time leading scorer Megan Dozier. The Zias enter the season not knowing where their goals are going to come from.
"We're going to have to rely on defense probably a little more this year than we have in the past," said coach Travis McCorkle, who has been with the program since its inception. "Offense will be more of a shared responsibility this year, but in many ways that may make us more dangerous."
The Zias open an 18-match schedule this week with a trip to Durango, Colo., facing host Fort Lewis on Thursday and Montana State-Billings on Saturday.
McCorkle noted that the Zias have four seniors and two juniors who represent a lot of the team's experience. The rest of the squad is made up of freshmen and sophomores.
Dozier's sister, Hannah, is a freshman forward and will try to pick up some of the scoring slack for her sister, along with junior forward Hillary Gintowt and sophomore forward Samantha Lawrence.
Defensively, senior goalkeeper Stephanie Lawrence is in her third year as a regular while defenders who return include seniors Katharine Coulombe and Marcela Garcia and junior Megan Wonner.
The Zias went 9-9-2 last year, including 4-4-1 in the Lone Star Conference, and earned a spot in the conference tournament for the first time.
"I'm more excited about this year," said Coulombe, a four-year starter from the Seattle area. "Our freshman class is very strong, and they understand how hard they need to work to get the result we need."
McCorkle said the preseason poll, which had his team pegged for sixth in an 11-team league with the addition of Abilene Christian, means relatively little. He's optimistic the Zias can continue their steady progress.
The key is finding enough offense.
"I would hope we'd do a little better (than sixth)," he said. "But we're either going to have to have (Dozier, Gintowt and Lawrence) score more, or have somebody who just steps up."
Coulombe knows the challenge won't be easy.
"We have to come with our 'A' game, and that's what we'll do," she said. "I think we have the potential this year to go a lot farther."

Nine seek top FDFD job
Nine people are seeking to become the next Fort Dodge fire chief, according to City Manager David Fierke.
Fierke said Thursday that the search for a replacement for Fire Chief David Luers is on track with a schedule that may result in a new chief being named by the end of April.
He did not release the names of the applicants.
Luers announced on Feb. 4 that he will retire by the end of July. He has been the chief since Aug. 1, 2010, but he came to the city to take that job with decades of previous experience in the Burlington Fire Department. Altogether he has 36 years of fire service experience.
The deadline to apply for the fire chief position was March 15.
In addition to submitting their resumes, applicants were required to submit answers to a series of seven essay questions on leadership, budgeting and communications skills. Those questions served as the required exam for the position.
The city's Civil Service Commission will meet Tuesday to evaluate the essays submitted by the applicants. Most of that commission meeting will not be open to the public. The state's open meetings law allows government entities to meet privately to discuss the job qualifications of individuals.
Based on the essays, the commission will develop a list of applicants it considers to be eligible for the job. Fierke said that list will probably be submitted to the City Council for acceptance during its April 8 meeting.
After the council approves the list, Fierke will interview the candidates. He is expected to submit his pick for the fire chief job to the council for approval by the end of April.

Ounce-Saving Gear for Stage Races - Page 2
For seven days, your pack will become a home on your back, so the importance of finding a model that fits well cannot be overstated. Look for a pack that balances gear capacity, comfort, weight and functionality. A favorite brand among many racers is Raidlight, in particular the Olmo Desert Pack 20l+4l front pack. Made of an ultra-light poly the main pack weighs only 20 ounces and pairs with an optional 'kangaroo' front pouch that holds a day's worth of essentials up front, eliminating digging around at check-points. Raidlight is a dedicated stage-racing brand and they've spent the last 12 years perfecting this pack to be whisper weight yet supremely functional. Other key brands to investigate are Osprey, OMM, & Inov-8.
Bonus Tip: It's rare to find a bag that fits great and has every pocket you want. Don't be afraid to modify your chosen pack to meet your needs. Marathon des Sables finisher Greg Manciagli often sews extra mesh pouches onto the exterior of his pack for his sleeping bag and pad, opening up tons of interior space.

From Airfix to Apps: Oracle Applications User Experience at the Maker Faire Bay Area 2012
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on May 06, 2012
I've been an avid maker of model kits since I was about five years old. My first attempt at assembly was a FROG P-38J/L Lighning Long Range Fighter in 1/72 scale. Since then, I've built mostly model aircraft, but have done some pretty cool AFVs, ships, submarines, space, science fiction, and railroad things in my time too. From U-boats to Saturn V rockets, I've assembled, painted, customized and displayed hundreds of made models over the years. When I relocated from the US to Ireland a few years back, I shipped over 1,000 unassembled kits with me (and a large numbers of built ones). I've built (and flown) remote control versions too.
As a maker of kits, once you get the hang of it, you quickly find yourself wanting much, more more. It's not enough to read the instructions and build out of the box. You want to customize the kits, extend them with different parts, work with different materials, and of course build your own subjects from scratch. You want completed ones that delight you, versions that nobody else has, and have fun from the process too. And, the resources are all there for you to do that: from airbrushes to special decals to aftermarket parts and the various bits and pieces to enable you to make your models your own way.
And what's this got to do with user experience (UX)? LOTS! I'll be at the Maker Faire Bay Area 2012 in San Mateo, telling you the Oracle Applications UX story about how you can make cool stuff yourself too: software applications to use in work that are drop-dead easy to use and look the business too. I'll talk about the tools, components and design guidelines that Oracle provides for you to do that, how this fits within our powerful Java ecosystem, so you can turbocharge your making of applications and also have a fine career and see the world out of it too!
Some additional coverage about what to expect from Oracle about Java at the Maker Faire is on the Java Source blog.
So, come along and see and hear me and Oracle coworkers in action. If you want to chat about model kits, that's cool too! Stay tuned for more details.

It will be interesting some test with this thing, also what games support it??
Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced that strong demand over the Black Friday weekend has propelled retail sales* of Kinect for Xbox 360 motion sensor to more than 2.5 million units worldwide since it launched just 25 days ago.
"We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect, and are working hard with our retail and manufacturing partners to expedite production and shipments of Kinect to restock shelves as fast as possible to keep up with demand. With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday," said Don Mattrick, president of the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.
The Kinect sensor can be plugged directly into any Xbox 360 and features a camera, audio sensors, and motion-sensing technology that tracks 48 points of movement on the human body. Kinect has the ability to recognize faces and voices. Kinect can perform full-motion tracking of the human body at 30 frames per second.
Kinect is now available at more than 60 thousand retailers in 38 countries. Recommended pricing of Kinect is $149 in the U.S. and €149 in Europe.
"Kinect on Xbox 360 was a top performer at Target this weekend. We expect Kinect will be a must-have gift this holiday season, so Target will continue to receive consistent shipments of Kinect throughout December. The hands-free, active gaming experience that Kinect offers is something that everyone in the family can enjoy," said Nik Nayar, vice president of merchandising at Target.
*Retail sales mean sell-through numbers, which means that there are now 2.5 million at the hands of actual end-users, not on shelves of stores.

Joseph J. Seymour Elected
Chairman Of N.Y. Power Authority; Brings Extensive Experience In State
Michael Saltzman
(914) 390-8181
Printer-friendly version
July 26, 2005
MASSENA—Joseph J. Seymour, a long-time trustee of
the New York Power Authority (NYPA), has been elected chairman of the
New York State-owned public power utility.
The election by the Power Authority's trustees
followed the resignation last month of Louis P. Ciminelli as chairman
and as a NYPA trustee and Gov. George E. Pataki's appointment of Elise
M. Cusack, an Erie County legislator, to fill the board vacancy left by
Ciminelli's departure.
Governor Pataki has also named NYPA Trustee Frank
S. McCullough, Jr., as chairman of the New York State Economic
Development Power Allocation Board (EDPAB), replacing Ciminelli in that
role. EDPAB reviews applications and makes recommendations for
allocations of lower-cost electricity for two major job-producing power
programs that NYPA administers.
Ciminelli, who had served on the NYPA board since
1995 and as chairman since 2002, notified Governor Pataki earlier this
year of his intention to leave the Power Authority to devote full
attention to his Western New York construction company, LPCiminelli Inc.
Seymour, like Ciminelli, will serve as NYPA's
chairman, with Eugene W. Zeltmann continuing in the position of
president and chief executive officer.
Last month, the State Senate confirmed the
Governor's reappointment of Seymour to a new five-year term, to May
2010, as a Power Authority trustee.
The Senate also approved the appointment of Cusack
to a term extending to May 2009.
Seymour, a resident of the Town of Bethlehem in
Albany County, previously served as the Power Authority's chairman and
chief executive officer from February 2001 to January 2002, before
Governor Pataki named him executive director of the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey. He served until October 2004 in that capacity,
and has remained a trustee of the Power Authority.
During his earlier tenure as chairman, the Power
Authority completed the rapid installation and start-up of six small
clean power plants in New York City and one on Long Island in time to
avert threatened power shortages in the summer of 2001.
As executive director of the Port Authority,
Seymour led the bistate agency during the critical period after Sept. 11
as the rebuilding of lower Manhattan took shape. This included
restoration of PATH service to Exchange Place and the World Trade
Center, the development of the World Trade Center Master Plan and Site
Plan, and work on the new Downtown Transit Hub.
The Governor credited him for doing an
"extraordinary job…in managing the rebuilding efforts and helping New
York come back stronger than ever."
Prior to his earlier experience as NYPA chairman,

Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
In 2011, World Council of Credit Unions added one new partnership to its existing International Partnership Program. In June, the Romanian credit union federation, FEDCAR established a formal relationship with the Ohio Credit Union League. The new partnership will focus on supporting and strengthening the Romanian federation.
The balance of 2011 was spent engaging as many partnerships in as many activities as possible, as well as identifying those partnerships that had completed their lifecycles and moved into a dormant phase. In 2012, the program will turn its focus to signing new partnerships by engaging new credit unions and organizations that had never before participated in the program, while at the same time reengaging those organizations involved in the past. The partnerships program maintained its strong level of support, with 19 partnerships having at least one partner providing direct financial support to the program. There are a total of 37 financial supporters in the program.
Partnership activities and other events sponsored by the partnerships program received more than their share of media coverage. (See attached.) Articles and stories on international partners and departmental programs often appear in league newsletters, CUNA's News Now, Credit Union Magazine, Credit Union Times and, periodically, in non-U.S. financial and trade publications. The program's efforts resulted in 18 news releases issued in 2011. Fourteen of those releases pertained to the international partnerships program and four others pertained to study tours.
In 2011, we continued finding success with World Council's Customized International Training. World Council hosted a record 14 international study programs throughout the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, serving 182 participants.
The partnerships program last year also engaged a total of five U.S. credit union and league volunteers in training events in Belize, El Salvador, Russia and Fiji.
One of our most significant achievements last year was receiving a U.S. State Department grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to carry out the Young Entrepreneurs Exchange Program in 2012 and 2013. The program falls under the State Department's Professional Fellows Program which gives industry employees and volunteers from foreign countries opportunities to participate in an internship in the U.S. The program also has a second component which allows their U.S. counterparts to participate in a program in the selected foreign country. The project awarded to the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions in 2012 and 2013 will work with Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.

Shit. I'll say it.
You are incorrect here Tripods. There is one goal when you step to the plate. Get the best pitch to hit possible and hit it hard. Only things you have any control over.
He executed Part A to perfection and it would not matter if the count was 0-0, 3-0, or 0-2. You are not seeing one better than that one.
Now Part B? Yikes, not so much.
Of course, some think Carlos had a good day at the plate yesterday, and I think he past multiple opportunities to drive a ball into a gap. So to each his own, I guess.

Schoenhut ® Piano Company: "Leader in the World of Toy Pianos since 1872" Schoenhut's® bright red, or white 18-key tabletop is the perfect choice for a toddler's first piano. Both fun and educational, it is an ideal instrument to use for developing eye-hand coordination and encouraging musical creativity.
Chromatically tuned, the lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods (versus the conventional taut wires used in full-sized models).
Schoenhut's® patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart also works on adult keyboards, since keys on Schoenhut® toy pianos are of corresponding width. This teaches children proper "finger stretch" from the very beginning. The accompanying Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes. This Learning System has been specially designed to build a child's confidence and develop basic playing skills.

Dr. Karen Santa Cruz of the University of Minnesota examines one of the 670 brains in the Nun's Study, looking for signs of dementia. The brain pictured here is more than 75 years old and still looks healthy says Dr. Santa Cruz. (photo: Lorna Benson/MPR News)
The nuns of the School Sisters of Notre Dame made headlines in Time magazine a decade ago for making an unexpectedly profound contribution to how we understand Alzheimer's disease.
Looking for a research project, David Snowdon became interested in the convent after a graduate student, a former nun, told the young epidemiologist about a retired community of nuns living out their days in Mankato, Minnesota. These women turned out to be ideal for research into aging because of their similarities in lifestyle. Snowdon didn't know exactly what he was going to find among these nuns, but struck gold when finding their personal records in an old olive green file cabinet. The biographical essays they wrote as young women in their early 20s held clues to the way they aged over 50 years later.
What Snowdon found was a correlation between low grammatical complexity in their writing and low "idea density" among sisters who had Alzheimer's disease. An example of a low-scoring sample:
"My father, Mr. L.M. Hallacher, was born in the city of Ross, County Cork, Ireland, and is now a sheet-metal worker in Eau Claire."
On the other hand, a high-scoring essay looks more complex:
"My father is an all-around man of trades, but his principal occupation is carpentry, which trade he had already begun before his marriage with my mother."
These high-scoring writers avoided dementia in their later years and performed better on other cognitive tests. Later, Dr. Snowdon pursuaded the nuns to donate their brains to science. Among the participating nuns who died, none of the high-density ideas nuns' brains showed evidence of Alzheimer's disease, while it was physically present in all of those with low idea density.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota now carry this research forward, trying to figure out why some of the nuns' brains look diseased post-mortem, but before death, these women managed to live out their final days without dementia.
Another researcher in Canada has recently discovered that bilingual speakers can also stave off Alzheimer's by a few years more than monolingual speakers.
Could there be a protective quality to maintaining your linguistic skills? Or is it that these nuns have always had a bit extra reserve of cognitive ability to weather the ravages of aging? Thankfully, this research provides more insights into questions like these as this massive longitudinal study involving over 600 nuns continues.

Fall 2012
Reshaping: The Culture of Writing Excellence
at Winston-Salem State University
The culture of writing at Winston-Salem State University is being reshaped and redefined to improve students' writing skills. One course at a time in the QEP (WIM) Writing in the Major Program, students enrolled in junior and senior level courses improve their writing skills by utilizing the writing process, reviewing samples of good and bad writing, attending monthly WIM workshops, and making weekly visits to the Red Zone. The Red Zone is an area characterized by a red wall spaced across the rear of the Writing Center, where students receive professional conferences one-on-one with Faculty Writing Fellows who specialize in writing.
Additionally, students can receive consultations inside the Red Zone from their peers known as Student Writing Assistants. These student scholars are excellent writers with majors in Biology, English, Psychology and professional tutors with graduate degrees in English. At the end of the semester, students in WIM courses complete feedback surveys; purposely, these results help reshape interventions which enhance the culture of writing.
Writing is of profound importance; progressively, it is evolving strongly across the university at each level of student matriculation. Everyone, from first-year students to grad students, can benefit from the writing services offered in the Writing Center and the Red Zone.
While reflecting on a report dated back to 2008 which was conducted by the National Survey of Student Engagement, I discovered these results, "The amount of writing was positively correlated with engagement, i.e., the more students wrote, the more they engaged in active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interaction, enriching experiences, and deep learning." Likewise, this kind of writing discipline is visible at Winston-Salem State University.
With our university writing services, student reflections, and course outcomes, we can attest that students' writing experiences are enriched by the end of the semester. Above all, each paper that is revised whether inside the Writing Center, Red Zone, or during class instruction, transitions students closer to our destiny, "A Culture of Writing Excellence at Winston-Salem State University."
RAMS Write,
Pamela Simmons,
QEP Director

A new home for a homeless cat
By ERIN SULLIVAN
Published March 1, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY - Sure, they lived long, comfy lives. All of them till the age of 17, which is pretty good for cats. But a year full of death is hard on the people who loved them - Pushka, Garfield, then little Sweet Pea, who died one night in November.
"Enough," Helen Bentley told her husband, Dale, after they had Sweet Pea cremated and brought her ashes home. "It hurts too much."
He agreed.
They decided they were done with cats.
The Bentleys - retirees who live part time in New Port Richey and go home to Illinois in the summer - either threw away or gave away everything. The litter boxes. Toys. Leftover food. Food containers.
No cats. No chance of another broken heart.
But as the months passed, life just wasn't the same without a pet. On Feb. 15, Helen, 67, opened up the St. Petersburg Times and saw a story about Puddy Tat, a 5-year-old brawny white cat whose owner, Walter Sweschnikow, killed another man and then himself in November. A woman named Shirley Jedele had taken Puddy Tat into her home, but he played too rough for her girl cats. Puddy Tat needed to be an only child.
So Shirley put him up for adoption at the PetSmart on Little Road in Trinity.
There was something about his story and photo that just reached inside Helen's heart.
"You know," Helen told her husband. "I'd really like to have that Puddy Tat."
"Let's go," said Dale, 68.
So, that afternoon, they went to the store and met Puddy Tat, who was sweet but a little frightened, as most cats would be in an adoption center. The Bentleys filled out an application and went home to wait.
"We don't have a chance," Helen said. She thought too many people would want Puddy Tat as much as she did. She put his photo from the newspaper out on a table and looked at it every day. She resigned herself to fate - if Puddy Tat was meant to live with them, it would happen.
That Sunday, they got the call.
They had been chosen as Puddy's new owners.
Helen and Dale went right then to pick him up at PetSmart. They had to buy everything all over again: litter box, food, containers, toys, carrier.
When they got home, Puddy Tat hid under the bed for 10 minutes. Then he came out, searched around, and hasn't hidden since.
"He is just a sweetie," Helen said Wednesday afternoon, as Puddy Tat napped in his favorite chair, which is beside the dining room table he loves food, though the Bentleys have cut out human food because it's bad for him.
He loves tummy rubs and head rubs. Wednesday morning, Helen and Dale slept in a little later than usual. Helen woke to hear her husband laughing. Puddy Tat had jumped on the bed and was licking his face.
"I think he was saying, 'Get up. I'm hungry,' " Helen said.
Puddy Tat has been the talk of Orchid Lake Travel Resort, the park where the Bentleys live in New Port Richey. People have been coming by every day to see him and bring him toys. Helen has asked people to not come in the afternoons. That's when Puddy Tat has his main snooze, and he doesn't take a liking to being disturbed.
Erin Sullivan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (813) 909-4609.

Determining how to apply cyber security requirements for new power delivery systems requires cyber security experts, power system engineers, and procurement organizations to work together with vendors to implement and maintain cyber security controls. Improper or incomplete implementation of controls due to lack of proper requirements and/or division of responsibilities between the utility and vendor can often result in costly backfit to meet requirements.
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has a project underway to develop procurement guidance to address this problem. Project research has shown that a standard set of cyber security requirements with a standard set of procurement specifications is not feasible for the multitude of equipment types, vendors, and use cases that exist. Therefore a methodology has been developed for determining the appropriate cyber security requirements for each use case as informed by a number of factors.
This Technical Update report is phase 2 of a three-phase ongoing EPRI cross sector project. Phase 2 includes development of a methodology for procuring digital I&C and power delivery systems with the necessary cyber security controls. This document is focused on the Power Delivery & Utilization (PDU) Sector and is based upon EPRI Technical Update 1025824, which describes a procurement methodology for the Generation/Nuclear (GEN/NUC) Sector.
Phase 1 included a GEN/NUC benchmarking study that was conducted prior to proceeding with any new guidance. A follow-on Phase-3 project is planned with completion in early 2013 to develop additional PDU guidance with sample procurement language, additional worked examples, and a complete mapping between major applicable regulations and guidelines.

Earlier this week my son Nico saw me at my computer editing a blog post. He had just come out from his room after working on
Nico asked me, "You're blogging again? I explained that I was nearing the end of NaBloPoMo, when I post everyday in November. Skeptically, he asked, "Is your life that exciting that you have something to write about every day?"
I didn't even know how to respond to that until I thought about my November's daily posts, then I said, "No."
My life isn't that exciting and yet I still managed to blog everyday for the last 30 days. In my uneventful life, that in itself is pretty exciting.
I hope it wasn't too boring for you, and you'll be back to read more, even if my posts are biweekly instead of daily. Maybe something exciting will happen in my life on my non-blogging days. Maybe not, but I"ll still blog about it. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Now, back to my regularly scheduled life.
Happy December!
