Red flag warning issued
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Due to wind and low relative humidity, a red flag warning has been issued for the western and central Upper Peninsula, including Florence and Marinette counties in Wisconsin.
The warning is in effect from noon to 8 p.m. today for the U.P. and from noon to 7 p.m. for Florence and Marinette counties.
National Weather Service officials said northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph in the U.P. could gust up to 25 mph today. Relative humidity will be as low as 18 percent.
Temperatures will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s.
In Florence and Marinette counties, the forecast calls for 12 to 17 mph winds from the northwest gusting up to 30 mph. Relative humidity will fall as low as 20 percent with temperatures rising into the middle to upper 70s.
Weather officials added burn restrictions are likely in effect.
A red flag warning is issued when critical fire weather conditions are either occurring or are imminent.
A combination of strong winds, very low relative humidity, warm temperatures and exceptionally dry fuels will create dangerous wildland fire conditions, officials said.
Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive fire.
In Iron County, firefighters from the Crystal Falls Fire Department responded to a grass fire in Crystal Falls Township on Tuesday.
The fire started at about 7:55 p.m. on U.S. 2 near Bible Camp Road.
Firefighters said that the fire consumed about one-tenth of an acre.
No cause was determined.
Elsewhere in Wisconsin, firefighters in the town of Gordon are working to contain a smoky wildfire in northwestern Wisconsin that has consumed 8,700 acres, destroyed nearly 50 structures and forced dozens from their homes.
The Department of Natural Resources says the wildfire in Douglas County is about 90 percent contained Wednesday morning, meaning firefighters have stopped most of the fire from spreading.
DNR spokesman Kevin Harter says 47 structures were lost, including 17 homes, but that firefighters were able to save 77 other buildings. He says no one was injured in the fire.
Harter says 22 evacuees stayed overnight at a high school in Drummond, 60 miles southeast of Duluth, Minn.
DNR officials say the wildfire was first reported Tuesday near the town of Barnes. Conservation wardens went door-to-door to alert area homeowners of the fire danger.

The Death of My Molester Father
I'd known my dad was getting close to the end. Ever since I'd really been facing my sexual abuse, I'd wondered how I'd deal with his impending death. There's such a fantasy about deathbed reconciliations. Death makes us consider what's really important in life—love and the people close to us.
After a six year estrangement, I didn't follow the advice of well-meaning people to "let bygones be bygones" before it was too late. I couldn't buy into the "he won't be around forever" threat. It reminds me of a high-pressure sales pitch, "Hurry! This deal won't last!!!" But what kind of an offer is that? The advertised version of the last moments with my dad would be bittersweet but fulfilling, but based on my dad's history, that's not what I'd really be buying.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Always welcome
To the residents of the greater Iron Mountain/Dickinson County area, I ask, "Are you out there, and, do you care?"
The community just finished celebrating Independence Day, aka 4th of July, with a great parade and flyover to the delight of all who attended.
Few however really understand how much planning, effort and work goes into putting on the annual patriotic event for the local populace to enjoy and hopefully remember what our ancestors sacrificed to throw off the yolk of British oppression and establish a new nation under God.
Fewer yet ever express any appreciation to all of those in A,C.E. who so diligently sacrifice their time and energy to not only put this event on, but also work to preserve, protect and defend our sacred Constitution.
I would like to publically commend A.C.E. president and secretary, Diana Miller for her many years of organizing and leading the parade effort. This year she also helped secure the flyover as well.
Another true patriot that was essential in putting this year's parade together is Diane DePas. Diane is the treasurer of A.C.E. and was an indispensable leader in organizing and coordinating the effort along with board members Steve Trask, Frank and Charlott Novak, Fr. Ray Valerio, Richard Abraham and Jim Gardner.
A.C.E. could not have been able to put on the parade without the support and cooperation of the cities of Iron Mountain and Kingsford along with their respective public safety and sanitation departments and the Dickinson County Sheriff's Dept. and the Michigan State Police along with The Daily News and radio station W.J.N.R.
There are many others who helped prepare and present the parade and A.C.E. will be publishing a "Thank You" ad in The Daily News shortly with a complete listing of all of our workers, supporters and contributors. It is my wish that the community will stop, shop and thank each of those who made this a great community-wide event.
So, are you out there and do you care? I believe that you are and that you do. If you are not already, become an active A.C.E. supporter. You can start by attending our regular monthly educational meetings held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of Recreation Lanes in Iron Mountain.
Patriots are always welcome and we are currently looking for new committee volunteers and board members to guide the organization in the coming year.

SIL's work in Colombia
SIL began its work in Colombia in 1962 in response to an invitation from President Alberto Lleras Camargo. President Lleras Camargo signed a working agreement with SIL establishing the terms of our working relationship.
In June 1998, the Colombian Congress decorated SIL with the "Orden de la Democracia" (Order of Democracy) award in recognition for SIL's service to the country over 35 years.
On May 31, 2000, the working agreement was closed with a formal ceremony celebrating the great privilege of being able to work in cooperation with the Colombian government on behalf of the indigenous languages of Colombia for 38 years. The legal entity of SIL Colombia was dissolved in 2002.

Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, we have been negotiating with the British Columbia government for four years. Other provinces have recognized that the agreement is a fair one. It is certainly cost effective for them, and they have accepted.
After four years of intensive negotiations, I have indicated to the minister in British Columbia to bring forward the matters that she wants brought forward. She has not done that at this point. There is still some time. I am waiting. I have not heard from her.
The time is coming to an end. November 30 is the date by which she must make up her mind on behalf of the people of B.C.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, strong copyright laws protect jobs and ensure our economy remains strong. Our government's copyright reform is widely supported by consumers, creators and the businesses that drive Canada's economy.
Could the Minister of Canadian Heritage tell the House about the copyright modernization act?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, as we said in the campaign and in the throne speech, the focus of our government this fall is on economic growth and ensuring there is job growth as well. That is why we have tabled our copyright reform legislation.
Bill C-11, the copyright modernization act, balances the interests of consumers and creators with the central goal of drawing investment into Canada, protecting jobs and ensuring that we move forward.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce agrees with our bill. It said that this bill "lays the foundation for future economic growth and job creation". Françoise Bertrand of le Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec said that this bill is "critical to ensuring a competitive and stable business environment in Canada".
This bill has been tabled and we hope for its adoption. We hope for the opposition's support for Canadian jobs.
Veterans Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Sean Casey Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, a Canadian Forces member receives $13,000 for funeral costs. A veteran receives $3,600. Nineteen months ago we raised this issue. The answer we received was that it was under review.
Last year we asked the minister again to fix this problem. Even though his own officials raised it with him, he told a Senate hearing that it was not the time to talk about the matter. Yesterday we received another non-answer.
Our veterans have done their job. They served and defended Canada. Why will the minister not do his and fix the situation now?
Veterans Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Steven Blaney Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I am glad to say that on this side of the House we not only speak for veterans, but we act for veterans.
As I told the member yesterday, this program is managed by the Last Post Fund. It is doing an outstanding job. We fund the Last Post Fund.
We are making sure that every military member who is killed or injured during service, whatever his or her rank, is well served and will be treated with respect until the last moment of his or her life.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Hoang Mai Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, the United States Internal Revenue Service is going after innocent Canadians The IRS is now going after Canadian citizens who have been playing by the rules, living and paying their taxes in Canada, in some cases for decades. It is going after them for thousands of dollars. These are not tax cheats.
Why is the government not doing more to protect these law-abiding citizens?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, we have made it clear to the American authorities that Canada of course is not a tax haven, that the request for information from American citizens who are living in Canada affects a large number of citizens who have never earned income in the United States and many of whom were not aware of their obligation under American law, which is their right to file income tax returns.
We have asked the Americans to exercise some discretion in the IRS with respect to these demands.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
LaVar Payne Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, advocates of the Canadian Wheat Board's monopoly have been waging a dirty, underhanded campaign against our government's strong mandate to deliver on our election promise of marketing freedom. They have tried every trick in the book, including wasting thousands of dollars on illegitimate surveys and travelling road shows.
Allen Oberg, the chair of the CWB, even used farmers' money to host and pay for a breakfast for the NDP caucus in Quebec City, telling the NDP members to use any means necessary to disrupt the democratic process in this chamber.
Could the minister tell us what steps he has taken to help western Canadian farmers?
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Medicine Hat for his tireless work on behalf of farmers and the great work that the panel did.
The old Canadian Wheat Board, as my colleague outlined, is doing everything possible to fight marketing freedom, even refusing our offer to co-chair this industry working group. That is unfortunate.
Our government will use the recommendations of this dynamic working group to make sure farmers have the clarity and certainty they need for their farm businesses' future.
As of October 1, the government's advance payment program will be administered by the Canadian Canola Growers Association.
Our government has a strong mandate and we will deliver on marketing freedom.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Rathika Sitsabaiesan Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, last night, I joined MPs from all parties in hosting a screening of the documentary, Sri Lanka's Killing Fields . It moved me, as it did everyone else there.
Sadly, Canada and the rest of the world has stood idly by for far too long. Human rights organizations around the world are calling upon the United Nations to launch an independent inquiry into the possibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sri Lanka.
A Conservative MP helped sponsor the event last night. Will his government now stand in the House today and finally commit to fighting for justice for Sri Lankans and call for a United Nations inquiry?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we did not sit idly by at the United Nations on Monday where I brought the plight of human rights violations to the floor of the General Assembly. The Prime Minister did not sit idly by when he expressed grave concern about attending a future summit of the Commonwealth in Colombo. We did not sit idly by when we spoke with the high commissioner to Sri Lanka and raised our concerns. I did not sit idly by last week when I met with the foreign minister of Sri Lanka to express our significant concerns.
We have not sat idly by. We will continue to stand up, do the right thing and fight for human rights around the world, especially in Sri Lanka.
Oral Questions
September 29th, 2011 / 3 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, multinationals and the software industry will be pleased with the copyright bill the government is introducing today, but it will cost artists close to $75 million a year. By attacking the livelihood of creators in this way, the Conservatives are showing that, for them, culture comes down to profit for big business.
Is the government aware that the copyright legislation that it is proposing will harm artists and weaken Quebec culture?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, we introduced a bill that is fair to everyone, both creators and consumers. What artists across the country need right now is copyright legislation that will make piracy illegal in Canada. That is what Bill C-11 will do.
We are also imposing the WIPO Internet treaties. Many aspects of this bill protect the interests of Canada's artists, ensure that our economy continues to recover, and ensure that we are creating employment and investments here in Canada for everyone, including creators.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, as is often the case, we would like to know what the plans are for the rest of the week. In particular, the official opposition would like to know when the government will finally bring before the House its so-called priorities, that is, the economy and jobs. It seems we have seen everything but the economy and jobs since they arrived.
It is thanks to the NDP official opposition that today the House is debating, for the first time this fall, the economic issues that are so important to worried Canadians. We are debating a motion calling on the government to take action on the economy, to establish a plan to create real jobs for Canadians and their families, to address Canada's infrastructure deficit of over $100 billion, which is mortgaging our future and that of future generations, and to protect people's retirement pensions.
Now the NDP has proposed concrete actions to address these issues, and I am sure the government will support them.
Also, could the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons tell us when we can expect the debate on the amendments the government is proposing to the Copyright Act?
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, with the global economy still fragile, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to continue our focus on the economic recovery. In the next week, our government will continue to implement the economic action plan that will create more jobs and economic growth. This plan is working.
Today, we introduced the copyright modernization act. The bill would promote innovation, keep Canada's digital economy strong and, importantly, help create jobs. I hope the bill will have the support of all hon. members.
Next week, we will be introducing a bill to implement the remaining measures in the next phase of Canada's economic action plan, a low tax plan for jobs and growth, as the finance minister indicated yesterday. The bill will include important economic measures, including a tax credit for the creation of new jobs by small businesses.
As per the order passed by the House yesterday, we will be introducing and voting on the ways and means motion relating to that second budget implementation act on Monday.
I know the opposition has shown great interest in seeing our jobs plan rolled out. Next week, members will have the opportunity to support it and move it swiftly through second reading and get this important bill to committee as soon as possible.
Next Tuesday will be designated as the second allotted day. Tomorrow we will begin debate on Bill C-7, the Senate Reform Act. This bill will allow and encourage provinces to hold elections to fill Senate seats and create a nine-year term limit for senators.
We will also continue debate on Bill C-4, Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada's Immigration System Act. Both bills will also be debated on Monday.
These important bills all have a very long history before the House, so I do encourage all hon. members to put aside further parliamentary delay tactics and give members a chance to vote on them and allow them to proceed through our system.

While in Indonesia today, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with People's Republic of China Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi to address the wide range of common interests between the United States and China and discuss ways to advance our shared goal of maintaining peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. In pursuit of this goal, Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Yang announced the intention of the United States and China to pursue several areas of practical cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, the United States and China:
-- Intend to cooperate with the Government of Timor-Leste to promote agricultural development and food security in Timor-Leste;
-- Decided that the U.S. Agency for International Development and the China Earthquake Administration will cooperate with ASEAN and the UN-led International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) to strengthen collaboration on Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) in Asia; and
-- Announced the intention of U.S. Pacific Command's Center of Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance and the People's Liberation Army to cooperate with ASEAN partners to strengthen regional capacity building efforts in the area of Disaster Relief and Response.
Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Yang also underscored their resolve to identify additional areas of concrete regional cooperation to advance common interests and contribute to efforts to build a more stable, peaceful, and prosperous Asia-Pacific region for the 21st century. Before their meeting, Secretary Clinton said:
"...We have much to discuss when it comes to our bilateral relationship, as well as regional and global issues. I think we will review the progress that we have made since the excellent meeting that our presidents held during President Hu Jintao's visit to Washington. And, of course, I extend greetings to him from President Obama.
"We will also have a chance to review the work we did at the strategic and economic dialogue that furthered our cooperation in a number of critical areas. And I want to commend China and ASEAN for working so closely together to include implementation guidelines for the declaration of conduct in the South China Sea. And, of course, we will discuss our mutual desire for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. And I look forward to addressing these and other important issues with you."
You can read the full transcript of the Secretary's remarks here.

@ FM Yang c/o Dipnote blog & friends,
Dear Sir,
As we say here in America, "it's show-me time".
What we have here is a world in one heck of a conundrum, trying to beat the heat or simply beat the heck out of each other, and that's why we have diplomats.
As an evolutionary process of the dispariging gap between humanity's technological prowess and our collective lack of empathy that holds us back as a species, in so many ways not using our tools properly and wasting time and resource on the tools of war, with so many unintended concequenses as attachment for generations to come.
However, I have to commend the international community for taking swift action with the mechanisms at hand to put in blue and pass UNSC resolution involving "All neccessary measures..." in regards to halting the war Ghaddafi wages on his people.
31 days sir, which happens to be within the gestation period of a rabbit. Not bad.
Vast improvement in efficiancy of purpose, yet one thing perplexes me, at what point did folks decide to put caveats upon the word "all" ???
Perhaps the only legitimate caveat is whether a nation has the physical capacity in an organized manner to meet the need.
If that be the case, then what risk run; if one has the capacity to remove a regime that threatens to wage nuclear war on its neighbors with impunity and rejects 6-party talks as serious ones, and a chance to walk the road to peace?
And if the regime's supporters, national and otherwise, can't stop the insanity in time to prevent such a war's possibility, when they have the capacity to do so, and have had so for decades?
Frankly I would be upset to see anyone incur such loss of face and the karma that is attached to having allowed this to happen.
Be hard to do business with them after that.
Consider this a risk assesment and a perspective offered in good will.
Hope your government will live up to your words, because there's a lot riding on a Korean peninsula at peace, not this.
Best Regards,

About the Author: Daniel Wilusz serves in the Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science Office of International Health and Biodefense.
The biggest-ever Fifth World Water Forum concluded on Sunday, and we the participants are scattering back to our four corners of the earth. The dust in Istanbul is still settling, but the message from Turkey at the closing ceremony was clear. "The forum was a success," declared a high-level government official.
In many respects, he's right. Hosting an international conference for over twenty-five thousand people with a hundred plus heads of state and ministers is a challenge anywhere, but the "City on Seven Hills" made it look easy as Turkish pie. Most impressive to me was the friendly staff at every twist and turn of the forum – and even at the airport – always ready and eager to help.
The U.S. delegation talked to hundreds of people at our booths, convened a discussion about water with U.S.-based non-profits, offered new ideas at a ministerial conference on water and climate change, chaired a similar conference on water and finance, and on and on. In short we found every opportunity to share our experience and strengthen our partnerships.
Still I can't help but reflect on a question asked in response to my previous DipNote entry about the World Water Forum, "…What has it all accomplished?" What will all of this dialogue and planning achieve for the billions of people without clean water or sanitation?
As the Acting Administrator of USAID Alonzo Fulgham suggested in his remarks at the closing ceremony, the impetus is now on us, the participants, to make sure it accomplishes a lot. To translate all of our talk to more action on the ground. The real success of the forum depends on it.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
We cannot support the population base now and must realize that the earth is a bio organism. Water cools the mantle, currents help control both sea and land elements and directly effects weather.
The sad fact is: We have too many people to support and not enough resources -- there is simply no way around that. We cannot create what is not there and to continue to off balance a natural cycle. This is not a solution, only aggravation of a finite actuality.
The consumption of the water cycle is not infinite -- a reality not dealt with from what I see...unless we have some method to cool the earth mechanically...
Sue in California writes:
Water wars seem inevitable as water is siphoned for one state or nation at the expense of others. The extent to which humans consume water beyond the earths capacity to replenish, such as in the U.S.'s arid west, needs stricter monitoring. While water is secured through dams, world heritage sites (whether official or not) are threatened to extinction. Such cultural resources must be conserved or mitigated if at all possible. For instance, Turkey's Endangered Site: The City of Hasankeyf. A new hydroelectric dam threatens the ancient city, home to thousands of human-made caves.

Wendy in California writes:
Dear Mr. Wilusz,
Thanks for the update. 25,000 people!!?? Has there ever been a conference that big on anything? Congratulations to Turkey.
I hope you give us some examples of the kind of 'talk that must become action.' Tell us five specific matters that will be *acted* upon in the next few years. What are several short term talk-to-actions and several longer term talk-to-actions?
Patrick in Maryland writes:
Good Tuesday Morning, People of the States Department and of the Netisphere or Netizens. :)
It's nice to hear, that "The Fifth World Water Forum" was a Success . I hope that the Water people, came up with some new Ideas on the Worlds Water Problems. I liked what USAID Administrator Alonzo Fulgham said about more action on the ground . I think that's what is going to make this Forum even more of a "Success".
Thanks For Posting Daniel . Cya: my friends at the States Department, :) and the "Fifth Water Forum" .

GreenChef Vanessa Sherwood | Cherry Cobbler with Vanilla Custard Cream

Cherry Cobbler
with Vanilla Custard Cream (raw)
Something happens when you freeze fruit and then defrost it. It actually gives the fruit sort of a 'cooked' texture. That's what makes this cherry cobbler recipe work so well. You could use fresh fruit; it just wouldn't mimic a traditional cooked cobbler as well. Plus, you'd have to pit all those cherries, adding a lot of time to the process. I take help where I can get it, and buying frozen cherries for this dish is one short cut I gladly take.
You can experiment using different kinds of fruit but I love cherries. When they are in season, I gorge on them like the witches of Eastwick.
For the Cobbler:
3-10 oz. Bags frozen cherries, thawed and drained
1/4 Cup Pitted Medjool Dates soaked for 10 min.
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
A Dash Cinnamon

They tend to improvise and experiment, and they have a great time doing it.
Will West & the Friendly Strangers released their debut album called Take this Moment in January of 2011. Songs have been featured on KINK FM101.9 & KZME FM107.1 in the greater Portland area. The song "Understand" was featured on the KINK FM Local's Only Sampler Volume 4 in the summer of 2011. The album was nominated for Album of the Year by the 2012 Portland Music Awards and has recently launched as a new station on Pandora Radio.
The son of a fiddle player, West cites Old-Time Bluegrass, Blues and Heavy Metal music as some of his early influences. West moved to Portland in the summertime of 2002 and began cutting his teeth as a performer at Open-Mics and busking in Northwest Portland. He picked up his first formal gigs in 2004 and has been on a steady rise in the vibrant Northwest Music scene.
Will West has released 2 solo albums. A collection of live studio recordings called Reconstruction in 2004. As well as a full length studio album called Shine in 2007.
His live performances continue to evolve and change. As a solo performer or with variations of a band, West pulls off fantastic acoustic guitar playing with smoothly delivered vocals and harmonica. Every show is an experience and it's all about the vibe...
"The Friendly Strangers are a formidable ensemble, boasting fiddles, banjos and mandolins, all guided by West's casual ringleading" - The Portland Mercury ~ Up&Coming

The Mekom Torah teaching philosophy:
- Never waste people's time.
- If the material is really interesting, you don't need gimmicks to get people to pay attention.
- Pretty much everybody can learn to ask really good questions.
Mekom Torah for adults offers opportunities for beginning and advanced study in an atmosphere of honest questioning. The methods and content are accessible, challenging, and sustaining to all kinds of Jews, whether or not they are already affiliated with a synagogue or a Jewish movement.
Mekom Torah High School programs keep young people involved in Jewish learning and in Jewish community after they reach the milestone of bar/bat mitzvah. They provide a doorway for students who have not yet found a home in the organized Jewish world. They nurture a generation of young people for whom Jewishness is a substantial and significant aspect of their identity.

Most consumers manage to avoid checking fees, survey finds
The Columbus Dispatch - September 16, 2013 10:41 AM
Despite all the attention that banks have received over higher fees for checking accounts, most Americans still pay little or nothing for their checking account, according to an American Bankers Association survey.
This summer's survey found 55 percent of Americans pay nothing and 10 percent pay $3 or less. On the other end, 14 percent pay $10 or more a month.
Still, the 55 percent figure is down from 59 percent in last year's survey.
The group said consumers are avoiding fees by doing things like maintaining a minimum balance, using direct deposit or only using ATMs owned by their bank.

The second annual Grand Rapids Film Festival starts today and The Genesis Code, a film making its debut tonight, has a strong Acton connection.
One of the executives driving this production is Jerry Zandstra, who also plays the Rev. Jerry Wells in the movie. You'll see him in the opening shots of the trailer here in the pulpit, which is what is known in Hollywood as typecasting. That's because Zandstra is an ordained pastor in the Christian Reformed Church in North America. Outside of the film business, he teaches global economics at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids. But many Acton students, supporters and staff remember him as the institute's former director of programs who was an outstanding lecturer and great friend.
If you're in the area, check the festival schedule for screenings through the weekend. After its premier, The Genesis Code will have a run in West Michigan theaters. You can get tickets here on the official site. The movie was filmed last year in the Grand Rapids area, and tells the story of a college hockey player and a journalism student looking for common ground between faith and science. It stars Fred Thompson, Louise Fletcher, Ernest Borgnine, Logan Bartholomew and Kelsey Sanders.
Grand Rapids Press religion writer Charley Honey, in a story about The Genesis Code, looked at this faith-versus-science theme:
… it turns out the book of Genesis and the findings of science agree just fine, according to this $5 million movie to be released this week at the Grand Rapids Film Festival … "The core of the story is this faith-versus-science piece," said Zandstra, an energetic guy with a weight-lifter's physique. "Those two are not necessarily enemies. As a matter of fact, they ought to be friends."
The premise is not new, but presenting it as a film drama definitely is. While not likely a blockbuster, Zandstra's movie might move into the popular square a long-raging debate in Christian academia: Can the Bible's six-day creation account be squared with the 4.5-billion-year-old scenario of science?
The Dove Foundation gave the film 5 stars. It's reviewer was thrilled with the story: (more…)

Utley hired as FDSH baseball coach
The Fort Dodge baseball program's long-standing goal of winning another state championship will now be in Blake Utley's hands.
Utley was named Matt Elsbecker's successor at Monday's FDCSD board meeting, as the former Dodger player and assistant takes the reins of the defending Class 4A state runner-up after a nine-year stint as Elsbecker's right-hand man.
"I told Matt during the interview process that there's one more ultimate step, and I'm excited to take on the challenge of keeping up the tradition Dodger baseball has able to establish and maintain," said Utley, a graduate of FDSH and the University of Northern Iowa. "This is an absolutely huge opportunity for me, and I appreciate the vote of confidence from Matt, (outgoing athletic and activities director) Tom (Kinseth) and the school board.
"Matt taught me to appreciate the value of doing the little things right and staying true to the fundamentals of the game. That won't change on my watch. We will continue to work hard and won't cut corners, and we'll expect the most out of our kids. It's a formula that has worked for us."
Utley replaces Elsbecker, who stepped down in late-February to become FDSH's next athletic and activities director. Elsbecker's 11-year tenure included two conference championships, four appearances in the state semifinals and a championship game berth last summer. The Dodgers were a combined 36-125 overall in the four years prior to his arrival.
"Matt built this basically from scratch," said Utley, a physical education teacher at Senior High. "Before Matt came here, teams were basically already ahead 2-0 before the game even started. Now I feel like it's the other way around. We have a mental advantage and it's back to the way Dodger baseball used to be.
"This is a traditionally-strong baseball community. Both our program and St. Edmond's have done well recently, which is exciting to see and exciting to be a part of – that resurgence."
Elsbecker said Utley is "more than ready" to be a head coach.
"His time is now," said Elsbecker, who will become the new AAD on July 1. "Blake is a highly-competitive and a very detail-oriented person. He will push his kids to do the best that they can; the students see his passion and leadership and they want to follow. His energy is contagious.
"I see a very bright future ahead. The program is in good hands."
Kinseth agreed.
"Blake is so heavily involved with the baseball players in the offseason, from workouts and weight training through everything else," Kinseth said. "It's a good fit. A natural fit. I'm sure the current players feel both comfortable and relieved that Blake will be in charge.
"He's an ex-Dodger player who takes tremendous pride in this school and community. The continuity and loyalty that Matt has enjoyed with Blake and his other assistants through the years is a rare commodity these days. We're very fortunate to have that with our baseball program."
Five starters and seven seniors are slated return to the FDSH lineup this summer for Utley, including first team all-state pitcher Tyler Vaughn. Fellow seniors Devon Harms and Tommy Halligan are also coming back, along with junior JC Hatcher and sophomore Austin Halligan.
The Dodgers were 36-8 overall and 17-3 in the CIML Iowa Conference a year ago.
"The idea is to always play your best baseball in July – and to still be on the field Aug. 3 (the 4A championship date)," Utley said. "Every year is a new cycle and a different look. It takes time to develop, but I know we have seven hungry seniors ready to lead, which is a good start. They got a taste (in 2012) and they want more."

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards took place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena last night, and I have the pictures to prove it. Do you really need proof from me though? It's like, everyone knows they did happen. So what do you need me for? Well of course to see these Carrie Underwood portion of the pictures (I got like 40 other also but man she takes the sexy cake).
Carrie Underwood is so freaking hot that it sort of makes me want to do some good old fashioned stalking (internet picture stalking, that is, I can't deal with LA traffic enough to go full on stalk mode). Man Tony romo has to be just saaaad…
Amber Rose looks stupid. I can't not think of Kanye West when I see her.
Juliane Hough looks pretty hot.
"Modern Family" stars Ty Burell and Julie Bowen hosted the 2012 Billboard Music Awards live from Las Vegas where LMFAO won six awards plus performed that annoying song of they have. Taylor Swift won Billboard Woman of the Year, Kanye West accepted on her behalf. I'm. Just. Kidding. About Kanye, of course. Taylor is all woman all year folks. Stevie Wonder got an Icon award, he performed and Alicia Keys did a rendition of Superstition. But Adele won 12 awards, so she pretty much owned the show. And she didn't even show up. Seriously, she double owned everyone by not even showing up to claim the damn prizes. That's total star power. Perry, Cee Lo Green, Linkin Park, The Wanted, Usher, Chris Brown, all performed on the night as well. Overall it was a fun watch for those not nerding out standing outside with a stupid mirror and box trying to get a glimpse of the solar eclipse. What kind of loser does that? Ok, this loser, I got blinded by not using a nerd box or silly 3D glasses or whatever. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I hate me lots right now. This screen looks like 40 Robin Williams bad movies right now. It's bad.
Lots of pictures. You can check the tags for all the hot celebrity woman names in case you get confused here.

October 11: BlueMountain raises $1.4bn for illiquid credit – One of the world's largest credit managers persuaded investors to commit more than $1.4bn for a minimum of five years in a fund targeting less liquid debt strategies – a rare achievement at a time when greater liquidity was high on the agenda in the wider hedge fund community.
October 16: Meet Michael Corbat, the new CEO of Citigroup – Michael Corbat, who was head of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, was announced as Citigroup's successor to Vikram Pandit, who resigned unexpectedly.

• November
November 1: Flamand's Edoma to close – FN revealed that Pierre-Henri Flamand, the former Goldman Sachs partner and head of its principal strategies division, planned to shut down his hedge fund firm Edoma Partners after two years because he was unable to "make money in the current environment".
November 5: Meet the new-look team at UBS's investment bank – Andrea Orcel unveiled his leadership team for the revamped investment bank at UBS, a restructure that led David Soanes to take on the top role in Europe and Simon Warshaw to step down from the unit's executive committee to focus on clients.
November 14: Goldman Sachs partners: Meet the class of 2012 – The list was the shortest since 1998, when just 57 entered into the partnership. The number was also a 36% fall from the 110 partners announced in the Class of 2010.

He was governor of the Bank of Canada and helped that country ride out the worst of the credit crisis and was appointed the head of the Financial Stability Board last year, where he oversees the regulatory agenda of the Group of 20 leading industrialised and emerging economies
November 29: Bramson entices Soros with $200m war chest – FN revealed that Edward Bramson, the activist investor, planned to step down from the day-to-day running of F&C Asset Management as he prepared to hit the acquisition trail again.
• December

December 6: Timeline, Nomura's hokey-cokey markets business – In less than 24 months, the Japanese bank switched from running its fixed-income and equities teams independently, to combining them, to splitting them up, to combining them again.
December 6: Deutsche Bank is probed – US securities regulators investigated allegations that Deutsche Bank hid billions of dollars of paper losses during the financial crisis.
December 12: Hector Sants onboard for the Barclays rebrand – A retail banker as chief executive? Check. A corporate governance specialist as chairman? Check.

This Veterans Day, we in the Department of State take a moment to recognize our Marine Security Guards, past and present, whose dedication to duty has cemented a highly successful partnership between the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Marine Corps.
The U.S. Department of State conducts American foreign policy. The U.S. Marine Corps is America's global, expeditionary force-in-readiness. Through the Marine Security Guard program, our venerable institutions stand together as a solid force for American diplomacy.
Since 1948, Marine Security Guards (MSGs) have served as a critical adjunct to our own Diplomatic Security Service, ensuring U.S. diplomacy can operate securely and unimpeded. The MSG mission is to prevent the compromise of classified U.S. Government information and equipment vital to the national security of the United States; to provide internal security services at designated U.S. diplomatic facilities; and, when necessary, to help protect U.S. citizens and U.S. Government property located at designated U.S. diplomatic facilities.
In the event of a direct attack, MSGs delay the aggressors long enough to help destroy classified information and equipment. They respond to a range of other crises as well, including demonstrations, bomb threats, fires, nuclear/biological/chemical threats, and natural disasters.
MSGs have stood side by side with State Department personnel through many crises, including terrorist bombings and attacks on U.S. embassies and consular posts. In such emergencies, the MSG response has been focused, fast, and professional.
MSGs also have protected State Department classified information and equipment against anti-American riots and demonstrations, and have helped evacuate U.S. diplomats and their families. MSGs have extinguished fires in U.S. embassies and helped save countless lives of U.S. Government personnel threatened by civil unrest, earthquakes, and floods.
Today, MSGs provide internal security for 154 U.S. embassies and consulates in 141 countries around the world. More than 1,300 officers and enlisted Marines are assigned to the program. Standing at "Post One" in our diplomatic facilities abroad, MSGs are usually the first person that U.S. Government personnel see in the morning and the last they see at night as they depart our embassies and consulates. MSGs also represent the face of America to members of the diplomatic community and citizens of the host country -- a most important aspect in itself.
The courage and support of the MSGs have been constant in every situation. Time and time again, Marine Security Guards have lived up to the Marine Corps credo, "Semper Fidelis." They have, in fact, always remained faithful to protecting American diplomacy.
Their professionalism and dedication, and performance under pressure has established a truly noble tradition of safeguarding the conduct of U.S. diplomacy. The Department of State could have no finer partner than the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group to execute this solemn duty.
For their dedication and service to the Department and to the nation, we in the U.S. State Department pay special tribute to our Marine Security Guards, our "Ambassadors in Blue," on this Veterans Day, 2011.
Maureen in Massachusetts writes:
Ambassadors in Blue/ Jeff Howard Branch Chief:
@ Jeff Howard -- Thanks for your post, got your back...
Humbly we walked through the embassy gates. Lines of people of waiting for paperwork outside this beautiful embassy full of rich history. Then I saw him...
Standing still. His uniform crisp, perfect in every way. A stunning symbolic moment (for me). He looked straight to me or even thru me, bold though I detected a very faint smile because I could not hide my huge grin and we both knew right there and then that I was- at home.
Briefly, I thought of my father who had passed when I was just a young girl. Yes he was a Marine and all his Marine possessions remained in that "boxâ€we had growing up. The shiny black shoes and those belt buckles...And then the funeral with the Marines folding the flag in the perfect triangle. Respect and dignity so many years later because they did not forget, my dad. I will not forget- our Marines.
Has anyone read Director Robert Mueller, III (FBI) speech at the DOJ Veterans Appreciation Ceremony on Nov. 9? Excellent.

Sandusky's abuse victims on long road to recovery, experts say
While Jerry Sandusky adjusts to life as an inmate, experts said his victims may have a long road to recovery after having to testify and recount the years of abuse.
It's one thing to tell a parent or to tell a therapist, but it's another to share that kind of trauma with the world.
"This trial was not something that they sought," said Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly.
But rather something that forced them to face the demons of their past.
Eight of the 10 victims in the Jerry Sandusky trial testified in very graphic detail they were sexually abused as children by Jerry Sandusky.
Dr. Veronique Valliere, a psychologist, said those men probably felt a wide gamut of emotions, then and now.
"Sometimes, victims feel very empowered and supported. Sometimes, the testimony may bring back flashbacks, intrusive memories," said Valliere.
It's likely some of the victims shared two things while on the stand -- a deep sense of painful regret that they didn't come forward sooner, possibly saving others from the same experience, and the knowledge that every word they spoke was being judged by those who heard them, said Valliere.
"One of the biggest things that victims encounter is our expectations of how they should sound how they should act how they should feel," said Valliere, noting that there's no way to erase the damage Sandusky did to his victims.
The relationship he built with them, combined with his stature in the community, complicated the victims ability to talk about the abuse, said Valliere.
It may continue to have an impact on the victims emotional recovery, despite a guilty verdict, she said.
"Convictions usually give a sense of relief that they were believed, but it doesn't necessarily give a sense of justice, or they don't necessary feel like their offender was a monster," said Valliere.
This case, Valliere said, may change the way people talk about sexual abuse, especially male on male abuse.

|Hi! I am Ling from Dragons' Den. I lease cheap new cars!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my headline cars. Please note I can quote on any car on Contract Hire, PCP, or any Lease Cars or Lease Hire. In fact I can supply any kind of car leasing. Leasing is a very general term. However, Contract Hire and PCP are by far my favourite products and my customers' favourite products too! The rest can be a little confusing although in a few (business) cases can be appropriate.
I publish all the best and cheapest deals I can source, above; so most bespoke quotes will by their nature be slightly more expensive.

On Thursday, September 15, I had the opportunity to meet Emyl Mil, a rice farmer in Haiti, a focus country for President Obama's Feed the Future initiative. When I spoke with Mr. Mil, he was excited about the use of a new, innovative approach called System of Rice Intensification. This new technique has significantly increased rice yields using fewer seeds and less water and fertilizer. Mr. Mil has even shared the technique with fellow farmers, who are seeing the same results. This is exactly the kind of work we want to support: providing Haitians with the tools to help themselves and each other in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake.
This type of results-oriented approach to food security addresses a particularly pressing and urgent need in Haiti. Before the earthquake, a lack of infrastructure and organization led to post-harvest losses of 35 percent or more. We're helping to change this narrative by supporting country-led plans to transform agriculture, broadening our engagement with local partners, and building capacity that will end the cycle of hunger and food aid.
Under the dedicated leadership of USAID/Haiti Mission Director Carleene Dei, our team in Haiti is implementing new ideas and technologies, selectively focusing its work where we can have the greatest impact. We're scaling up programs and innovations across key areas like infrastructure, health, governance and economic security.
Last year, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we created the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative (HMMI). The HMMI has awarded millions of dollars in prizes to mobile money service providers for investing in mobile banking. The initiative encourages local wealth creation, enabling Haitians to save money and make transactions on cell phones. We're on the verge of one million mobile money transactions -- a movement that is building momentum every day.
Helping rebuild Haiti remains a chief priority. We know it's a tough road ahead but together with the Government of Haiti, the international community and local NGOs, we've accomplished real gains on which we can build. Since the earthquake, we've all worked together to move more than 4 million cubic meters of rubble (USAID removed two million of those cubic meters), clearing the way for redevelopment and enabling families to come home. We've also provided integrated shelter solutions to help Haitians return to safe, sustainable housing. And we've helped to immunize more than one million Haitians against diseases like polio and diphtheria.
Although the way forward remains challenging, we are committed to finding the most creative, sustainable ways to help the people of Haiti achieve long-term, sustainable development.

A 4-year-old boy's recent death from being pinned underneath a kitchen stove is raising questions about conditions at a Whitehall apartment complex, where a number of units lack heat.
Carlos Mullins Jr. died just after 2 p.m. on Feb. 27 when he apparently climbed onto an open oven door and the stove fell over, pinning him.
The oven was on to help warm the apartment because a boiler that was supposed to provide heat was not working at the time. And it was revealed yesterday that the boy likely had been trapped for less than 10 minutes before his mother found him, not hours as Whitehall police first suggested.
Other tenants in the Commons at Royal Landing, near the intersection of Hamilton Road and E. Broad Street, also had complained about lack of heat.
The day after Carlos died in Apt. H, a code violation was posted at the apartment for the inoperable boiler, Whitehall City Attorney Michael Shannon said. Not long after, the complex manager reported that the problem — a broken thermostat — had been fixed.
"We think, based on what was observed in (that) building, we need to take a closer look at all the buildings in the complex," Shannon said. "It's something that is a priority for the city."
So Whitehall officials soon will begin inspecting the 250-unit complex.
Shannon said he's reviewing complaints and code violations at the complex, which workers were compiling yesterday.
Officers had noted that the temperature inside Apt. H was 60 degrees the day Carlos died. Shannon said the gas to the apartment was turned on, but the boiler used to heat the unit wasn't working.
A year ago, a resident complained to the Better Business Bureau that the heat inside one of the apartments hadn't worked in three months. Just this week, a notice of a code violation was posted on the door of Apt. C in the same building where the boy died, saying the apartment lacked proper heat.
And for more than a year, Kevin Nethers, who lives in Apt. B, has been using space heaters to stay warm. Nethers said the gas company told him that his lack of heat was a problem with a gas valve. When he complained to apartment management, he said, he was advised to use space heaters.
Angel Poynter, the attorney for the complex, said tenants are responsible for their own gas bills, and that apartments lacking heat often are the result of unpaid bills and gas company shutoffs. Shannon confirmed that three of the units in Mosley's building had the gas shut off. But Apt. H wasn't one of them, he said.
Sam Shamansky, the attorney for Carlos' mother, Luwanna A. Mosley, said that she had complained to apartment management about broken heater vents and an unbalanced stove in November.
Housing inspectors will set a schedule to review conditions at the nearly 50 brick buildings that make up the Commons at Royal Landing, Shannon said. The complex, which was built during World War II, has monthly rents starting at $325.
CSN Realty, a New Jersey-based company that manages the complex, is cooperating with the city, Shannon said.
In the investigation of Carlos' death, Whitehall police initially suspected that, based on the stiffness of his body, he had been dead for hours before they were called. Subsequent investigation showed that medics arrived less than 10 minutes after the boy was crushed beneath the stove.
Mosley, a 25-year-old third-shift worker, told police that her 2-year-old daughter woke her to tell her that her son was inside the oven. Mosley called 911 and lifted the appliance off her child.
Whitehall Police Sgt. Dan Kelso said the heat from the oven caused the boy's muscles to tighten and also left burns on his body.
"We are looking at what the police believe is a tragic accident," Kelso said. "This was a mom who lost her child that she loved."

In January World Cafe host David Dye took a World Cafe Travel Adventure to New Orleans with a group of XPN fans along with XPN-ers Kim Junod, Senior Producer of World Cafe, and WXPN Station Manager Roger LaMay. There they recorded a new edition of our Sense of Place Series, with World Cafe exploring the intensely musical city of New Orleans. Trombone Shorty is an integral spoke in the great wheel of NOLA jazz, funk, and big brass music, and gives us some insight on what this music means to the city of New Orleans. Ani DiFranco provides a fresh perspective on life in New Orleans as a transplant to the city and as someone outside of the traditional brass band scene. Then we talk to the creative minds behind the show, Treme, creator David Simon, music supervisor Blake Leyh, John Boutte (the Crescent City singer/musician whose song became the show's theme song), and Davis Rogan, who is the basis for the character "Davis" on the show. And, we end of the week with Dr. John who knows New Orleans like no other. The gritty and growly music legend's lengthy career has perfected the voodoo'd blend of N'awlins blues, funk, and rock n' roll for which he is renowned.
Explore the interactive map, city highlights, photos, videos, and live performances in World Cafe Sense of Place: New Orleans.
