Selected Scriptures
How can parents explain the gospel to their children without toning down the commands of Scripture?
Certainly children are limited in their ability to understand spiritual truth, but so are adults. Very few people intellectually understand all the gospel truth at the moment of salvation. Fortunately, the essential truths are basic enough that even a child can understand. Jesus Himself characterized saving faith as childlikeness (Mark 10:15). True belief is not a function of advanced intellect, sophisticated theological understanding, or complex doctrinal knowledge.
Children old enough to be saved can grasp the concept of coming to Christ with an obedient heart, and letting Him be boss in their lives.
When sharing the gospel with a child, keep these points in mind:
We must be careful that we do not modify the gospel to suit various age groups. There is no such thing as a special gospel for the young, a special gospel for the middle-aged, and a special gospel for the aged. There is only one gospel, and we must always be careful not to tamper and tinker with the gospel as a result of recognizing these age distinctions. At the same time, there is a difference in applying this one and only gospel to the different age groups; but it is a difference which has reference only to method and procedure (Quoted in Knowing the Times [Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1989], 2).
Children must be able to understand that sin is an offense to God's holiness and that they are personally guilty (though because of their limited experiences, most kids obviously won't have as deep a sense of personal guilt as adults). There's nothing wrong with telling children about hell and God's wrath. Children do not have a difficult time grasping such concepts. They understand punishment for wrongdoing and are capable of understanding that Jesus died to take the punishment for the sins of others. They need to be told that Jesus expects to be obeyed, and they will understand even better than some adults that trusting Jesus means obeying Him. The importance of obedience needs to be emphasized repeatedly, even after the child makes a profession of faith.

Skip to comments.Are Hannity, Rush, and the big talkers playing us for $$$? (vanity)
Posted on 05/01/2012 8:41:51 PM PDT by teg_76
Do you ever get the feeling that Rush and Hannity don't really care who wins, just as long as their dollars keep rolling in from us tea party saps. Besides Mark Levin, what prominent talker has gone out on a limb and endorsed true conservative candidates? Everyday we have to here Hannity interview the John McCains of the world. If he truly believed in the conservative movement, wouldn't he be out there trumpeting Richard Mourdock and Don Stenberg like Levin is?
As for Rush, he is more interested in commercializing the tea party movement with his "Two if by tea" than promoting it.
Besides Mark Levin, they're all sellouts just like the Republican leadership...looking out for their own career over the well being of the country.
Eric Cantor with his support of Richard Lugar and Adam Kinzinger in their primaries is consolidating moderate, establishment support behind his ambition to be speaker some day. But Hannity is more interested in a softball interview with him than evicerating him for his actions.
There are very few leaders in our movement.
In a word ......................................YES !
It's a job.
Drive BOR off the air first.
What's your beef with Rush? He doesn't do interviews, so that part of your argument is out and he came as close to a Primary endorsement he has ever had with Santorum. I don't feel played at all.
"As for Rush, he is more interested in commercializing the tea party movement with his "Two if by tea" than promoting it."
Get over it.
Rush is as patriotic as any American that I know.
He is also a great spokesman for the conservative movement.
"Two if by tea"...come on.
of course
Rush is right.
Get over it.
Rush is as patriotic as any American that I know.
He is also a great spokesman for the conservative movement.
Ditto that.
Rush must contain himself. Sometimes when he's discussing liberal politicians and 0bama, he almost lets go full force.
Yes, but Rush to his credit is pretty open about it. I don't think he is joking one whit about bolting if the bottom drops out, and why not? Who would not if the option were there? He has also paid his dues and busted the crap out of many a leftist when he is not, in his own words "carrying water" for the Geriatric Old Plantation.
Hannity . . . Don't like him for a number of reasons so I will withold comment. I don't think I can be objective about him.
Greedy Capitalists promoting ideas just because it sells.
someone should stop them
I've gotten to where I don't take talk radio hosts or news networks seriously, especially if I know they are slanted in one way or another.... Even if it's a 'slant' I agree with.
It's so easy to turn on virtually any news broadcast(cable or network) and see that they are attempting to manipulate people.
If the radical Left has payed activist working 80 hour weeks to take you off the air and scare off your sponsors, wouldn't it be a fair move to have a backup revenue stream?
I know. Crazy. That scenario could never happen, right?
Uh, yes. Notice how quick they fold up and alter their views once their paychecks are in jeopardy.
Have you ever listen to Rush? If so, have you listened to him for long? If you can't answer yes to both then you have no Idea what you are talking about. If you are truthful and can answer, "yes" to both then I feel sorry for you ... you obviously have missed the point.
As for Hannity, I don't get to listen to him often, but I would put him in the same category as Rush.
In a marketplace of ideas, the bad ideas go away eventually. CNN. MSNBC, and others are examples of that. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from blogging, becoming a writer, or becoming a talk show host. To keep an audience, you would have to keep some opinions close to your vest. Savage and Stein prove that. Levin is the only one that can call someone a liar, or communist and get back on the air the next day. I think hat's because he's a lawyer and leaves a way out. Look at what's happened to Anne Coulter. I bet her next book isn't quite the best seller she is used to.
All Hannity cares about is how many football tosses he can get into his 1 hour time slot. Yeah yeah shoot your arrows but Glenn Beck is one of the few who actually believes in his message and has forgone big $$$ to do so.
The only one I listen to regularly is Rush. I don't get to listen to all of every show by any means, but you only have to listen for a few minutes to know how much he wants Obama to be defeated. If you have listened to Rush for as many years as I have, you know that he never endorses anyone in the primary, but will support the eventual nominee because that is the best way to defeat the liberal agenda. BTW, one reason Ruah started his "Two If By Tea" company was to prove that the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well in America.
Rush and Levin are the only ones I listen to. Occasionally Beck...tho I'm growing tired of the 'spectacular revelations' he has (i.e. the Buffett connection to the pipeline deal. FReepers knew about that MONTHS ago!!!)
Hannity drives me nuts and I turn his show OFF as of late. He's a toadie for the RNC....panders to the establishment with this "can't we all just get along" attitude.
Particularly pissed about his lecturing to us about Breitbart's death and that HE knew about Andrew's heart condition and that we should lay off about the autopsy.
Most annoying with him is his pandering for the 'black vote' with the guests and callers he has on. It's like...."well I know you're going to vote for Obama......but can I sway you and your kids by sending you a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Pre-Flora and toys for the kids?" It's disgusting. I'm sorry, No different from what the Democraps promise them. And that's my damned opinion. So, there.
Rush is the very best he can be. Your comment betrays a smallness of character. Rush speaks honestly but he does not seek to be telling people what to do, but rather how to think conservatively. Your petty comment is a greater indication of what is wrong. What are you doing to help conservatives? Besides bitching and moaning.
Foolish post
Hannity came close as he could to endorsing Cain, and had he or any of them endorsed anyone, every other candidate could have demanded equal time.
"Its so easy to turn on virtually any news broadcast(cable or network) and see that they are attempting to manipulate people."
I've noticed that too, regardless of the personalities or the agenda, propaganda seems more . . . crass? obvious? ineffective? I wonder if it is because it takes less effort, or because there is just such a saturation of propaganda that it is less effective, and indeed counterproductive. I am not aiming this at radio or any particular personalities, just 'news media' in all forms and at all levels.
Occupy the airwaves!
That's your job.
They provide information, entertainment and motivation. And deserve their hefty compensation for their talent regardless of whether or not their views are genuine.
I bet you enjoy falling asleep to a Hannity podcast of one of his numerous McCain interviews.
Levin is far from perfect.
He convinced many (suckers) in his audience that Palin was really running which was obviously not the case even at that time, and then he was rewarded with that exclusive interview by her well over a month afterward to admit it was not so, that she was not going to run.
Notice he asked her no real questions about all the things she did that 'looked' like she was running. That is why she picked him, a free ride.
On the positive for him, Levin's podcasts are free, The others demand $$$.
He is ABBBO now isn;t he?
Exactly...it is my job. Which I did in 2010 and will do in 2012.
I'm just not a sap that hangs on their every word like some around here.
I listen to Rush every day. He has never connected his Two If By Tea to the tea party movement. Damn good tea, by the way.
Rush is the best! I have listened to him since the beginning. He is playing straight with his audience. My other favorite is Michael Berry, the rest are not on my wavelength.
I listen to Rush every day. He has never connected his Two If By Tea to the tea party movement. Damn good tea, by the way.
No, he hasn't. I need to get me some! Or send some as gifts!
so change the dial....
if you want a leader then be a leader
Is his tea very sweet, because I prefer a tarter iced tea?
I wonder if Two If By Tea comes in Sour Grape flavor?
President Obama is either 1. destroying the USA on purpose, or 2. intellectually >unqualified to be President of the USA.
Let's worry about sending Obama&cronies back home in 2012.
Rush Limbo repeatedly states the defeat of >Democrats, liberals & the enemies of the USA should be the main concern of ALL Americans.
Would you explain a little bit more about Rush bolting? It's been a good 2-3 weeks or more since I listened to his show. Is he talking about leaving the U.S.? I'd love to know when he discussed this.
One of my heroes is Gov. Scott Walker. A man of such courage but he doesn't have a radio show. I have found YOU have to research and re-research your own information and not depend on talk shows for everything.
I haven't heard it recently, but fromt time to time during the past several years he has said "I'll let you know when it is time to go" and teased about going to New Zealand or some other unnamed place. I take him to be half joking. Half. But he has not talked that way recently.
I am sure he has contingency plans though, both as to his person and his fortune and his closest circle. He is a wily and pragmatic man, with the means to put his plans into action should he choose.
Rush and Levin and others are very brave. If 0bama is re-elected, there is a chance that their lives could be in danger.
He said he'd go to Costa Rica of all places. That was back in 2010 before the passage of ObamaCare.
Yes, he mentioned that too.
Why haven't you created an "about" page? You've been on FR for a long time according to the date attached to your name. Why haven't we seen any postings before? What have you been waiting for?
Rush still likes money but he is reaching an age where money becomes gradually less important. He is already super rich so what he is looking for now is recognition and adoration.
Hannity was never about the money. He has stronger core than any other celebrity IMO.
Levin is more about money than above two combined.
O'Reilley was always about money and rating and still is. His show is very entertaining as evidenced by top rated show for dozen years running.
Come on.....
Filthy tricksey capitalisticsists. Using filthy advertisementing to sell... THE PRECIOUS.
Yes, they always go for the establishment. Levin said support Romney. I don't worship them..I use to adore them since they seem authentic. It's insane to put liberal Romney at the head of the republican party. He began Romneycare. Their sheep will follow them-see these posts among us.
They all make money - so what? If you give them money and regret it - then stop!

The State Department has joined Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks and other major organizations in offering their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test flight" from 8:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 7 through 8:00 p.m. on June 8. The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the industry -- Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies -- to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out. With the expected success of this test, the Department will be well-placed to make the permanent transition to IPv6 in 2012.
Internet Protocol (IP) is the set of rules computers use to transmit data over the Internet. The existing protocol supporting the Internet today -- Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) -- provides the world with only 4 billion IP addresses, inherently limiting the number of devices that can be given a unique, globally routable location on the Internet. IPv6 provides the world with an almost unlimited number of available IP addresses, as well as significantly enhanced mobility features. Therefore, IPv6 is paramount to the continued growth of the Internet and development of new applications leveraging mobile, Internet connectivity. Although the IT community has come up with workarounds for this shortage in the IPv4 environment, IPv6 is viewed as the true long-term solution to this problem.
The Federal Government has requested that all agencies transition their network backbones to IPv6 for the following reasons:
-- To take advantage of the expanded IP address space, and embrace future-oriented networking capabilities, such as converged communications, IP-aware medical devices, remote sensors, etc.;
-- To address the challenge faced by the U.S. from international competition in the realm of IPv6; and
-- To lead by example in U.S. enterprise IPv6 transformation.

Ringling Challenges Atlanta Bullhook Ban
In June, the Board of Commissioners of Fulton County, Georgia, at the urging of PETA, Demi Moore, local citizens, and other animal advocates, banned the use of bullhooks, fireplace poker–like goads that are used to beat and hook elephants in sensitive areas of their bodies in order to make them obey commands. This meant that if Ringling Bros. wanted to bring the Cruelest Show on Earth to Atlanta, it would have to leave behind the torture devices that the elephants fear.
But with its Atlanta shows scheduled to start this week, Ringling, knowing that it can't control the elephants without bullhooks and so would have to leave the pachyderms out of the ring, filed a plea for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the ban on Monday afternoon, claiming that there was no specific intergovernmental agreement between Fulton County and the city of Atlanta and that the ban did not apply in the city. To everyone's surprise, Ringling got its way, and the TRO was granted.
PETA has issued the following statement:
The legislation banning bullhooks was passed because of a serious commitment by the citizens and commissioners of Fulton County to prohibit this sort of animal abuse in their community. The Municipal Code of Atlanta very clearly incorporates all of the Fulton County animal control ordinances—including the bullhook ban. PETA is concerned that the clearly worded prohibition and the wishes of Fulton County citizens have been disregarded without a proper legal basis. Bullhooks, as admitted by Ringling trainers and executives, are used to beat, jab, hook, and yank elephants in order to force them to obey. There are only two uses for a bullhook: to inflict pain and to instill a fear of pain. While a ban on the use of bullhooks is an important step in the right direction, it is now clear that anyone who cares about elephants and other captive exotic animals must make the compassionate decision never to attend a circus that uses animals.
Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts issued a statement saying he believes that there was an implied agreement between Atlanta and Fulton County and that the ban should be upheld.
Compassionate people are making their voices heard, and they will continue until the beatings under the big top stop.
Commenting is closed.
As a little girl I was freaked out by what I saw at the circus.I vowed that if I ever had children they would never be exposed to animal abuse.My son is 23 and has NEVER been to a circus and he knows why! He agreed that it is not right to chain and beat animals for people's "entertainment"
this circus MUST be banned in all states!!!!!! how dare they do this to beautiful gentle animals of all kinds, esp. elephants, tiger,etc.I'm so ashamed I actually went to this circus Ringling with my daughter in 1978, never again, I will forever protest any circus using & abusing animals as long as I live. this video is very upsetting, I'm sick to my stomach.
Its sickening!!!! I'm suprised the ringling brothers weren't thrown into jail,beaten by bull hooks and banned! I'm a 10 year old saying this and yet people wiser and older than me still work for ringling!
I hope you never think about bringing your barbaric circus to Australia!! Ringling Brothers – you are disgraceful and heartless. These types of circuses have no place in the 21st Century. Shame on you & shame on the authorities who allow this to happen!!!
Pathetic. UPHOLD THE BAN!!!!
I would like for everyone who thinks the Ringling Brothers is ok to see these videos. These people should be put in jail.
My family is NOT permitted to go to ANY circus, period! It's just wrong. I have not been since I was a child and my child has never been to a circus.
I stopped going to circuses that use/abuse animals over 20 years ago and have written to Ringling… to no avail. They don't seem to get the message that abuse will not be tolerated.
leave the elephants in peace they deserve freedom and a good happy life as for all animals
This video enrages me! How can humans treat these animals like this? They are WILD animals they belong in the WILD not perform some mindless act for the stupid human beings that actually pay money to see this kind of stuff. I wish I could save them from this depressing and tortured life..makes me so sad 🙁
Please stop this cruelty!! These are the kind of actions that make me so ashamed to be part of the human race!
Shameful. Please make sure these instruments are never again permitted anywhere. Such beautiful elephants. My heart goes out to them
Disappointed this circus is still running. Just goes to show how little some humans care.

The groundwork for the present College policy
for continuing professional development (CPD) was laid out in 1994.
Then, as now, it was evident that learning in medicine does not
stop at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; rather it is
imperative that in order to maintain our skills and knowledge
beyond these formative years and so that we can treat our patients
in the best possible manner, with current, modern methods of
therapy, we remain upto date with the literature. The policy has
been updated twice; in 2001, and more recently in 2009 (Good
Psychiatric Practice. Continuing Professional Development,
The basic principles of CPD are that
educational and training objectives are set in advance, that all
such initiatives are measured for time spent (at least 50 hours per
annum is the College's recommendation), that they are properly
resourced either by employing institutions or the individual, and
that wherever possible there is a balance of Clinical,
Academic and Professional educational and training
opportunities. These principles have been agreed across all
Medical Royal Colleges and Faculties, with the emphasis very much
on self-directed learning. However, central to our College system
is peer group participation, and we no longer certify educational
events from the centre.

Paradise Bound
From Sugar Shack Au Pied de Cochon by Martin Picard
Serves 10
Frozen Nougat:
500 ml (2 cups) 35% cream
3 egg whites
250 ml (1 cup) maple syrup
Caramelized Nuts:
150 g (¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons) maple sugar nuggets
250 g (¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon) maple butter
10 Maple Straws
Caramelized Nuts
50 ml (1 cup) maple syrup, divided into two equal portions
150 g (1 ½ cups) pecans
150 g (1 cup) sliced almonds
Caramelized Nuts:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the syrup and nuts in a saucepan. Cook over high heat until the syrup has evaporated and the nuts have caramelized. Transfer the nuts to the baking sheet and set aside. When the nuts are completely cool, chop them coarsely.
Frozen Nougat:
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate. Clean and dry the mixing bowl and whisk attachment. Place the egg whites in the bowl. In a saucepan over high heat, heat the maple syrup until it reaches 121°C (250°F). When the syrup reaches 115°C (239°F), begin beating the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. When the syrup has reached the specified temperature, reduce the mixer speed to medium and pour the syrup in a thin stream into the beaten egg whites. Beat at medium speed until the meringue cools, about 5 minutes. Pour the whipped cream into a large bowl, and add the meringue, caramelized nuts and maple sugar nuggets. Fold the mixture with a spatula until the ingredients are well blended. Cover the bottom of another bowl with plastic wrap. Pour the nougat into the bowl and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Freeze for 6 hours.
Invert the bowl of frozen nougat onto a plate to unmould. Remove the plastic wrap and pour the maple butter over the top. The maple butter will run down the sides of the nougat. Decorate with maple straws.
The frozen nougat will keep for three days in the freezer. After that, the nuts lose their crunch and the nougat is much less fun to eat.
From the Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book by Jake Godby and Sean Vahey
Makes 1 quart
As you can tell by flavors like Jesus Juice, Baracky Road, and Harvey Milk and Honey, we like making references to pop culture and current events. Right before all the Proposition 8 hoopla, we renamed this flavor You Cantaloupe Until Wednesday.
1 ripe cantaloupe, about 2 pounds, skinned and seeded
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
juice of 1/2 lime
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp vodka
1/2 tsp cayenne
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. The smoother, the better. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour or preferably overnight. When you are ready to freeze the mixture, transfer it to an ice cream maker and spin according to the manufacturer's instructions. Eat immediately, or transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for up to 1 week. (Fruit sorbets are best if enjoyed the same day.)

"Um, private jets? I have such a hard time flying commercial. I always want to—it's cheaper, it's easier—but there can be 300 perfectly lovely people at the gate and one crazy person who ruins it for everyone, so flying private is great because I don't have to worry." "
Capitalize or expense?
When a company buys jet fuel for a business flight, the fuel will be consumed immediately. So the cost is tax deductible as an ordinary expense in the current period. Most expenses of owning and operating a business jet are like that-they can be deducted currently and thus offset taxes on current business income.
Depreciation, however, is not currently deductible. Unlike jet fuel, the aircraft will not be used up in a single flight and is intended to serve the company for years. Thus, instead of permitting a firm to write off a jet's whole cost when it is acquired, the Internal Revenue Code says the amount must be capitalized and employed to offset taxable income over a period of years. Similarly, an improvement to the aircraft, like adding winglets to enhance range, would be capitalized, not currently deducted. The benefit of the winglets will continue far beyond the current tax year, most likely for the life of the aircraft.
Unfortunately, the tax treatment of many aircraft expenses isn't as obvious. Some costs, especially for maintenance, inhabit a gray area. The area may be gray, but it sheds light on how the interests of the aircraft owner and the IRS are diametrically opposed: the owner wants to deduct everything now to reduce current taxable income, while the IRS wants to spread the deduction over future years to maximize current taxes.
The IRS has traditionally said that maintenance and repairs are current expenses if they don't add materially to the property's value, appreciably prolong its life or adapt it to a new use. Though you could argue that any required maintenance prolongs an aircraft's life because, if you don't perform it, the airplane is grounded, the general view is that routine maintenance preserves value and useful life but doesn't increase it. Not surprisingly, the aircraft maintenance bills that have caught the IRS' attention are also the most expensive and therefore generate the largest deductions: so-called heavy maintenance of engines, such as hot sections and overhauls.
The battle over whether such expenses should be capitalized has been waged for years in court cases and IRS rulings. The most significant case involved FedEx, which was assessed an additional $70 million in taxes and interest when the IRS determined that it must capitalize, rather than deduct currently, expenses for maintenance on aircraft engines and auxiliary power units.
Like most operators, FedEx had engines removed and shipped to a maintenance facility when they needed a hot section or overhaul. Maintenance performed at the facility ran the gamut from cleaning and testing to repair and replacement of parts. Meanwhile, the airframe remained in service with replacement engines that FedEx kept on hand. This made the airframes and engines look like separate assets that should be treated separately for tax purposes. Viewed in isolation, the often expensive repairs to the engines seemed essential to prolong their useful life, especially if, like the IRS, you want to view the useful life of the engines as having expired immediately prior to the heavy maintenance.
The federal court, however, refused to treat the engines and airframes as different assets and regarded the aircraft as the appropriate unit of property for determining whether expenses should be capitalized. The court did agree with the IRS about the need to compare the state of the property before and after the repair. But instead of looking to the state of the aircraft immediately prior to the engine overhaul, the court looked at its state following the previous overhaul. In other words, it viewed the new overhaul as restoring the engine to the value it had following the last overhaul. Nor did the court conclude that the overhaul increased the aircraft's useful life. On the contrary, the court viewed the overhaul as essential maintenance to sustain the aircraft's existing useful life.
The IRS may have lost the battle, but not the war. In August 2006, the agency issued proposed regulations with the imposing title "Deduction and Capitalization of Expenditures Related to Tangible Property." Then, in March 2008, after receiving a deluge of comments, the tax agency issued substantially revised proposed regulations. The 29 tiny-print triple-column Federal Register pages are complicated and daunting and generally make it more difficult to write off heavy maintenance expenses when incurred.
On the threshold issue of whether the aircraft as a whole or the engines themselves are the appropriate unit of property, the IRS replaces the factors employed by the FedEx court and the factors the agency itself proposed in 2006 with a "functional interdependence" test. Based on this test, engines will generally be a functionally interdependent part of the aircraft if their being placed in service by the taxpayer is dependent on the taxpayer's placing the airframe in service, and the aircraft would thus appear to be the appropriate unit of property. The airframe needs the engines to fly, and vice versa.
Second, the new proposed regulations replace the traditional capitalization test of whether maintenance "adds materially to the value" with a new concept: betterment. According to the IRS, an amount paid for work on an aircraft (the "unit of property") will result in a "betterment" only if it ameliorates a material condition or defect, results in a material addition or results in a material increase in capacity, productivity and the like. If this fails to shed sufficient light on whether work constitutes a betterment, the agency deploys the infamous "facts and circumstances" test, an invitation to figure it out for yourself based on all relevant information.
To determine whether a betterment has been made, you would ordinarily compare the condition of the aircraft immediately before and after the work. For example, an aircraft will be "bettered" if you add satellite TV. However, contrary to the FedEx decision, if maintenance is designed "to correct the effects of normal wear and tear," the IRS asks the taxpayer to compare the condition of the aircraft following the work with its condition "after the last time the taxpayer corrected the effects of normal wear and tear" or, if this is the first time the taxpayer has corrected it, "the condition of the property when placed in service by the taxpayer" (my emphasis).
At first glance, this may seem bizarre. Suppose you're about to buy an aircraft with engines that have one hour remaining before overhaul. If the current owner (who we will assume performed the last overhaul) overhauls the engines again prior to the sale, there is no betterment. He's simply restoring the aircraft to the condition he put it in after the last overhaul. Conversely, if you buy the aircraft and then overhaul the engines, the cost must be capitalized because (under the proposed regulations) it constitutes a betterment compared with the condition of the aircraft when you bought it.
But take another look. If the prior owner had overhauled the engines at a cost of, say, $1 million right before closing, he would have expected you to pay an additional $1 million for the aircraft. And since that $1 million would be part of the purchase price, you'd capitalize it. Thus, the result to you is the same whether the overhaul occurs before or after closing: in either case, the cost is capitalized. But once you've invested-one way or another-in freshly overhauled engines, the cost to maintain them in operating condition, including the next overhaul, would appear to be currently deductible.
The proposed regulations also contain a safe harbor allowing costs to be expensed for routine maintenance "that the taxpayer reasonably expects to perform" more than once during the aircraft's class life (six years for noncommercial aircraft). Much airframe maintenance will accordingly qualify for the safe harbor, but engine overhauls on most business aircraft will not.
In general, the proposed regulations will cause an accounting nightmare for business jet operators who must figure out whether wear and tear is allocable to an aircraft's prior owner or falls within the safe harbor. And, as a practical matter, the proposed regulations will make it tougher for business jet owners to avoid capitalizing the cost of engine overhauls.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (86 votes).
In short: Excellent race, well organised and a great atmosphereIn full: I loved this race. Yes it was a bit crowded in places but that didn't bother me. The crowds and the support was excellent and created a fantastic atmosphere. The food festival was a welcome extra to browse around after and the weather was perfect. Came with the family and made a day of it doing some sightseeing atfer. Lovely day, great race. Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Excellent race with great sights of London. Huge PB potential. Great crowd / marshall supportIn full: Although expensive to enter I feel it's worth it. Great tech T-shirt and lovely wooden leaf medal. Loads of additional freebies but shame you have to hobble around collecting them. Never knew Hyde Park was so big. Loads of crowd support and plenty of refreshments on course - loved the sweets from M&S. Will try to enter again for next year.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Great race for most runners and all spectatorsIn full: With 12,500 runners, there's always going to be some measure of congestion (toilets at the start, on some of the narrower parts of the course) but any complaints beyond that are in my opinion, overly critical.Quick course, plenty of water, Lucozade, sweets on the course, all manner of freebies at the end and running through some of London's best scenery (and I live in London) justify the expensive entry. Yes, much of it is in Hyde Park but it means spectators can easily spot you on a few occasions.Overall, with a dearth of half marathons in London, I'm grateful that the Royal Parks is as good as it is.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In full: Enjoyed it again this year. Hated the double backs in Hyde park but over all good race. Some areas needed a little something but overall good enough to want me to go back.Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Dont get what the fuss is aboutIn full: How can people say there was enough room clearly they saw the £ signs and rammed in as many as possible, it is far far to congested for my liking which makes this more of a fun run than anything else. I gave up trying to chase a time and was still overtaking people with 11 miles gone !. The winding in the park is very tedious and far to narrow I spent more time on the grass than the path so might aswell done a cross country.Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Loved the race. A truly great experience!In full: Organisation is the best there is. You cannot fault it. The start was fab and it was despite the amount of runners, there was enough space for everyone. The sun shone too, which always helps. Would certainly make the effort to enter again in 2011.Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Awesome race! Brilliant organisation and atmosphereIn full: This is my absolute favourite race - superb organisation, brilliant course, friendly marshals, great goody bag, and loads of freebies! The entry fee may be a bit steep but you get good value for every penny. I'm already looking forward to next year's race!Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Great run for a first ever half, extremely well organised and encouragingIn full: Really lovely course, great atmosphere with good crowd support, exceptionally well organised and as my first half, I loved it and do hope to be back! Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Can't really fault thisIn full: My third year running the Royal Parks and I can't fault it. Once again the crowds were out, the marshalls were encouraging and helpful, the organisation before, during and after was great, the scenery was excellent and I got a PB.It's getting increasingly difficult to enter this race and you can see why. I'll be trying to get a place next year and would recommend this to anyone. Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Ticks many of the boxes but overall a bit so whatIn full: The Royal Parks is a notoriously expensive half marathon, which is presumably down to the costs involved of closing down a chunk of central London. Having shelled out nearly £50 most entrants will be making this their A race for the autumn, but bearing that in mind it doesn't have much buzz about it. It's hard to find real faults with any of the organisation but for me the whole event is a little flat. Running a race in central London inevitably means losing out on local support and this does impact on the atmosphere for an event that's try to sell itself as a "big deal". Probably a nice day out for out-of-towners looking for a first marathon but certainly not worth attempting to get a place for a second time. Date of review: October 10, 2010

I have pgmA which reads cust journal changes and sends them off for an ETL app.
I would also like to be able to send the entire cust file using the same pgmA with no changes.
How can I make the cust record format look just like a journal record (the format that DSPJRN creates).
For example:
Cust file format:
CustName 30
CustAddr 30
CustCity 20
Total 80
I want this to look like a DSPJRN record so I can use the same pgmA to load up all CUST records for an initial load.
Desired format:

Most of the journal fields can empty - but I want my CUST data to be in JOESD. Can SQL or OPNQRYF do this?
I think I need to take fields JOENTL thru JOOBJ and initialize those. Then take all CUST fields CUST.* and string them together (alpha, packed, zoned) into the one JOESD field.
Is this possible without using an HLL?

BP Pleads Guilty To Negligent Oil Spill
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Published on December 8, 2008
Filed Under Green Report / Media Tags oil spill, pipeline
Apparently BP doesn't mind paying fines. Hundreds of millions of dollars' worth, to be precise.
Last week in Anchorage, the Alaskan subsidiary of British-based BP pled guilty to violating the Clean Water Act, a federal environmental crime, for its failure to prevent a 200,000-gallon oil spill in March of 2006 and agreed to pay $20 million in fines. The spill, in the Alaskan region known as the North Slope, was the area's largest in history.
According to an article on CBS News, "For years, the company denied allegations that a culture of cost-cutting was hurting the quality of maintenance on the network of steel pipes at the 30-year-old Alaska field. But after the spill in March, federal prosecutors said millions of company documents and interviews with scores of North Slope employees told a different story."
Prosecutors allege the company saved $9 million by intentionally not maintaining or inspecting their pipelines.
But almost sadder than the spill itself is the news that the $20 million dollar sentence was a mere drop in the bucket compared to the $353 million the organization agreed to shell out over a separate incident.
It seems BP accepted blame for the manipulation of Midwestern energy markets and the explosion of a refinery in Texas that killed 15 people.
For a company with a 2006 adjusted net profit of $22 billion, making restitutions in the hundreds of millions seems hardly a deterrent. Perhaps we need a stricter policy to ensure safe and thorough practices, like, say… You leak 200,000 gallons of oil due to negligence, and we're shutting you down.
That's probably not the answer, but it might cause other oil companies to step up to the plate. After all, BP's not the only one spilling and paying.

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Josh Out of the box comfort Just picked these up a week ago. Not for hiking just out and about wear. Very comfortable, true to size and look good as well. The only stipulation to this boot is the fact that you have to wear a full length sock as the ankle will take some time to break in. You can avoid this break in period by not lacing them all the way up. Good quality and light weight. I was pleased. January 12, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by porcupine mt. one hike boot I had these pair boots for about two weeks one to break them in which went smooth and the next week was a six day and five night hike in the porcupine mt. by the end of the hike i notice some thing dangling off of my boot which was the rubber bottom not just on one boot but both of them. I can image what would of been left of them if i was out their for another couple nites.Because if they can't glue the bottoms of the boots on all the way whats next? The only good thing i can say is that they are comfortable pair off boots. September 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Catfish Not holding up well This is my second pair of this same model, I wore out the first after many camping trips and regular wear. Good comfortable boot! This pair has the layers of rubber coming apart all across the bottom and It's only been since Christmas. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nemophilist Comfort, straight out of the box. This is my third pair of KEEN footwear, and I haven't been let down, yet. Coming out of heavier winter boots and stepping into the Voyageurs is like wearing slippers. Light, form fitting, well supported, and decent traction. Time will tell, as I purchased these specifically to descend and "crawl" out of the Grand Canyon, in May. I've always been used to an expected break in period for most boots...not with these. So far, Voyageurs have performed great on the local trails, with no complaints from my feet, which suffer from some early onset arthritis, so I guess I have another set of KEEN keepers. April 5, 2013

Topic: testing protected methods?
I searched for this and was surprised to not find anything. I didn't really even find anything on google either. Surely I'm not the only one to wonder what is the proper way to (unit) test protected (and private) methods?
For now I have merely made them public. But that's a poor solution, I really would like them to be protected and testable. Is this possible?

Pentecostalism is a charismatic movement that derives its name from the day of Pentecost described in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the members of the early church. That passage remains a centerpiece of Pentecostal teaching to this day. It is ironic that such a "movement of the Holy Spirit" has always paid little or no attention to Jesus' clear description of the Spirit's true ministry in His church.
In the following video, Steve Lawson explains what that ministry is:
Jesus, referring to the Holy Spirit, said, "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment" (John 16:8). He also said, "He [the Spirit] will testify about Me" (John 15:26). A clear proclamation of the true ministry of the Holy Spirit, and what that work looks like in the lives of His people, is long overdue—but not for much longer!

I think this is by far the best quote from Steve Lawson that you have posted about the ministry of the Holy Spirit. And I understand the desire to challenge abuses of spiritual gifts, false claims about spiritual gifts, and false claims of anointing. From various entries in these blogs, it seems that there are very many of these abuses and false claims around today.
However, all this raises vitally important questions. Both John and Steve assign great importance to the work of the Holy Spirit in believers, saying things like: "He … gives them gifts and strengths that can be employed in serving the Lord." So, is it correct to adopt the belief that the spiritual gifts mentioned in Scripture ceased to be given after the days of the apostles?
Or should the call in this forthcoming conference rather be for MUCH CLOSER adherence to Scripture regarding these spiritual gifts and their use, and for MUCH GREATER discernment as to what comes from the Holy Spirit and what comes from other spirits?

The Strange Fire conference is intended to address exactly the questions you're asking. I hope you'll be able to join us in October.

These are excellent questions you are asking and a major reason for the necessity of doing a conference like Strange Fire. The cessationism espoused by John MacArthur and Steve Lawson does not make the claim that all spiritual gifts have ceased. In fact, both of these men use their spiritual gifts of preaching and teaching to serve the body of Christ. What "cessationists" are saying is that certain apostolic sign gifts ceased at the end of the apostolic era. This will be a major point of discussion during the conference.
You are right in your anticipation that Strange Fire will emphasize the supremacy of Scripture in Christian life, experience, and practice—causing us to properly exercise the spiritual gifts God gives to His people. Whether they admit it or not, the charismatic emphasis on personal experience always comes at the expense of God's Word and ultimately undermines its sufficiency.
I attended a Charismatic church many years ago, part of the Kenneth Hagin branch of churches. I never witnessed so much confusion or error in teaching, as I did in that church! It seemed that the believers only cared about speaking in tongues, of which none of them did. I would hear some of them speak nothing more than gibberish. What was sad, was that most of them never picked up there bibles and knew the word, and if they did, they focused on two topics - faith and tongues.
Although I did meet some believers that did have a strong relationship with God, I could never get past the hang-up that they had on the gifts of the spirit, rather than the fruit of the spirit.
What was also sad was that they said that if you confess the word, you will never be sick. And if you are sick, then you are living in sin. Well, i witnessed that even the pastor was out sick on occassion. They also claimed to have a prophet in the church, who basically would speak to please his fleshly nature. One day a new Christian gave a prophecy about an upcoming football game. Wow, how edifying! I try not to judge these churches, but sometimes i wonder if they are doing more harm than good for the cause of Christ. Those non-believers with a brain would never be attracted to the flakiness of such doings, but rather intelligent teaching like John MacArthur or a Charles Stanley. They are also of the same movement that espouses the prosperity gospel, which has been a lousy witness to the world and has turned off a lot of people to the church! I have witnessed for myself that feeding on the convicting word of God, inspired by God, will help you grow as a Christian, instead of walking around like a bumbling fool speaking nonsense!

Car safety seats for children: rear facing for best protection

- J R Crandall, University of Virginia, Center for Applied Biomechanics, 1011 Linden Avenue, Charlottesville, VA 22902, USA; jrc2h{at}virginia.edu
- Accepted 28 August 2007
Objective: To compare the injury risk between rear-facing (RFCS) and forward-facing (FFCS) car seats for children less than 2 years of age in the USA.
Methods: Data were extracted from a US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle crash database for the years 1988–2003. Children 0–23 months of age restrained in an RFCS or FFCS when riding in passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, or light trucks were included in the study. Logistic regression models and restraint effectiveness calculations were used to compare the risk of injury between children restrained in RFCSs and FFCSs.
Results: Children in FFCSs were significantly more likely to be seriously injured than children restrained in RFCSs in all crash types (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.40 to 2.20). When considering frontal crashes alone, children in FFCSs were more likely to be seriously injured (OR = 1.23), although this finding was not statistically significant (95% CI 0.95 to 1.59). In side crashes, however, children in FFCSs were much more likely to be injured (OR = 5.53, 95% CI 3.74 to 8.18). When 1 year olds were analyzed separately, these children were also more likely to be seriously injured when restrained in FFCSs (OR = 5.32, 95% CI 3.43 to 8.24). Effectiveness estimates for RFCSs (93%) were found to be 15% higher than those for FFCSs (78%).
Conclusions: RFCSs are more effective than FFCSs in protecting restrained children aged 0–23 months. The same findings apply when 1 year olds are analyzed separately. Use of an RFCS, in accordance with restraint recommendations for child size and weight, is an excellent choice for optimum protection up to a child's second birthday.
Competing interests: None.

- Resident permits: 2
The Wildlife Board establishes timeframes for hunting on CWMUs. Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes.
Type: CWMU
Species: Buck pronghorn
Weapon: Any legal weapon
SJ Ranch
DescriptionThe S J Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located on the Strawberry Valley and the Little Strawberry Valley. Higher elevations occur in the west and the east. In the west elevations range from 7100 feet to 7500 feet. In the east elevations reach 7600 feet. The valley between these to ridges is between 6800 feet and 7000 feet. An extension of Saddle Creek cuts the Unit in the north. It ranges between 6700 feet and 7000 feet. The most common elevation is 7100 feet but ranges from 6600 feet to 7900 feet with an elevation difference of 1300 feet. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7000 feet and 7300 feet an elevation difference of 300 feet.
Over sixty percent (60%) of the S J Ranch Cooperative Wildlife management Unit (CWMU) is covered with the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) land cover type. Add to the Sagebrush Steppe, the Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22), and one has the majority of the land covered.
One of the S J Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, HARDWARE RANCH(423671), is about 7.6 km southwest from the southwest edge of the CWMU. HARDWARE RANCH has thirty-five (35) years of records, 1956 - 1991. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.47 inches, but it can be as high as (not available) inches or as low as (not available) inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 12 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 7 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages (not available) inches but can be as high as (not available) inches. FALL temperature at HARDWARE RANCH averages (not available) degrees F. but can be as high as 94.0 degrees F. or as low as -5.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 36 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary.

Pet obesity is on the rise, and there are several ways an owner can slim down their feline friends. According to the Santa Barbara Independent, a local animal shelter is decreasing the price of the overweight cats in its facility in hopes that their prospective owners will be able to shape them up.
In the early 1970s, nearly one in eight cats and dogs were overweight, which is detrimental to pet health. Today, more than one in three pets are overweight, and this can cause a series of health risks including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and some forms of cancer, according to the news source.
Getting a furry friend moving around can avoid these hardships. Simple things, such as putting the cat bowl a littler bit further away to make the feline walk a little further, can help. And don't forget that these furry friends love to chase feathers or toys.
According to the ASPCA, the two main factors in feline obesity are overfeeding and lack of exercise, and both of these can be easily avoidable for pet owners.

Are We Being Ripped Off? - UFC 127
Written by Mike McPhee
UFC 127 is this Saturday night & honestly I really hadnt thought much about the card. When I realized it was coming up soon I took a closer look at the match ups and only one question came to mind. Why is UFC 127 a pay-pew-view card?
In some UFC events that were held overseas the card was free on SPIKE TV. UFC 127 is being held in Sydney, Australia. Being an overseas card doesnt mean it has to be free but this one qualifies as one that should have been. There is no title fight on this card. Other than the main event of Jon Fitch & BJ Penn there arent any superstars on the card either. Sorry British fans, Michael Bisping is not a superstar outside of the U.K. yet.
To me this all lines up to be a perfect UFC Fight Night card, not a pay-per-view event. Many people order every UFC pay-per-view and no matter what the card is and this trend will continue. I am one of these people. People come over to the Man Cave and we watch a night of fights, play some Poker and enjoy some drinks. But how is this card worth the $59.99 for the high definition feed?
* Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn
* Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera
* Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos
* Chris Lytle vs. Brian Ebersole
* Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke
* Spencer Fisher vs. Ross Pearson
* Alexander Gustafsson vs. James Te Huna

I can say poor looking cards in the past have delivered a fantastic night of fights. But to justify the public dropping $59.99 for an event the UFC has to make a much better effort putting big names on each & every pay-per-view event.
It appears the UFC knows there is a very large contingent of fans out there who order each show and no matter who is on the card they will make their money. Not only is this a slap in the face to the buying public but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I have been a fan for a very long time and order every event I am able to. But this card does not interest me very much and the lack of top stars is surprising. I dont like paying for this one.
Please do not misunderstand me. I am a fan of some fighters on this card and do look forward to some of the fights. I hope guys like Chris Lytle or Dennis Siver can make this an exciting night. But you have to look at this objectively and stack it up against other events. In the previous UFC event (UFC 126) we have a middleweight title fight and other known names like Miguel Torres, Forrest Griffin, Rich Franklin, Jon Jones & Ryan Bader. Fighters like Kid Yamamoto and Omigawa brought the Japanese MMA audience in as well.
UFC 125 had a lightweight title fight & names such as Gomi, Guida, Diaz & Leben. Not necessarily superstars but known names many casual fans know from previous events or the Ultimate Fighter TV show. The UFC 128 & 129 cards both have title fights & superstars lined up too. Shogun vs. Jon Jones, GSP vs. Jake Shields, Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida & other big names like Urijah Faber, Cro Cop & Jose Aldo will be fighting.
I know every card can not have a title fight or be loaded with superstars, but when you compare UFC 127 to Fight Night cards there are more similarities than pay-per-view events. The upcoming Fight Night 24 will have known fighters like Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Phil Davis & former middleweight title contender Dan Hardy. Like UFC 127 you have some lesser known names and up & coming fighters.
Even the UFC 127 main event is lacking something. Jon Fitch is a proven winner but he is far from the most exciting fighter on the roster. Can BJ Penn bring out a war with Fitch? Depends on which BJ Penn shows up. No doubt Fitch can win this fight but as the main event of a lackluster pay-per-view card this may not be the best way to end the evening if it becomes three rounds of lay & pray.
Full credit to Jorge Rivera for trying to make this a must see card. His two YouTube videos making fun of Michael Bisping are entertaining & make me want to see this fight.

With the massive time difference between North American and Australia it will be very easy to learn the results of this event before it airs at the usual 10pm EST time slot fans are used to. With this issue & the lack of star fighters I feel the UFC is ripping us off. It should be a free event.
What will happen? Nothing. Lots of people will order the event, have UFC parties or go out to the local bar like every other month. That is the what I dont like. Currently there is no way to stop the UFC from doing this again. I truly hope the card is exciting and new stars are born. If not, that will be $59.99 I will regret spending.
I am more excited to see this card over 126 which sucked aside from Andersons kick.. I think some of these guys fight their hearts out and that's what I want to see regardless of the "name."
Baby Jay on a Fight Night??? That would be like Robbie fighting on the Challenger Series.
It is because you chose to get on the mat that makes you the winner. Think about how many people are not on that mat right now. - Luis Sucuri Togno
ha ha ha
yeah 127 is a little weak for a ufc card, but thats just cause people are so spoiled to ufc putting on good cards
if this wasn't a ufc card it would be the best non ufc event of the year
you'd have to pay me per time i viewed some of the other promotions, well maybe not, strikeforce only puts on a show every three or four months so if they were the only ones doing mma i guess I would be pretty desperate
exactly what is there to get excited about on this card?:
Champ Rafael Cavalcante vs. Dan Henderson (for light-heavyweight title)
Champ Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate (for women's welterweight title)
Tim Kennedy vs. Melvin Manhoef
Billy Evangelista vs. Jorge Masvidal
Roger Bowling vs. Josh Thornburg
Tyler Combs vs. Jorge Gurgel
Jason "Jay" Freeman vs. Jason Riley
Mojo Horne vs. Brian Rogers
Marc Cofer vs. Mitch Whitesel
J.P. Felty vs. John Kuhner
if it wasn't for robbie, i wouldn't give sf as good of marks as i do
Best non-UFC card was the SF grand prix card. Every fight was awesome.
This is a good opportunity for these fighters to get PPV paydays too. so there's always that. Plus we've thought cards were going to suck in the past and they were awesome.
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
-Mark Twain
I agree that this Card shouldn't be a PPV. I will go to my local bar and watch it.
Any card that has the possibility of Baby J getting stopped is a must see for me and besides it has The Count so I will watch.
I am all about the UFC so I will support it and it's fighters and pay for it!! Plus I have my Bj to drool over and Ross...

The Northeastern Illinois University Office of Alumni Relations and Career Development Center offer comprehensive career assistance programming designed to support your ability to transition into a new position or to explore employment options.
Alumni Career Connections (ACC) brings alumni and current students together in a "speed networking" format that brings about informational interviewing, personal career arcexploration and the opportunity to provide prospective mentorship by alumni to students. Additionally, students submit resumes for evaluation and feedback, and alumni are encouraged to suggest "best practice" advice to students navigating their pre-career choices. These programs are offered once a semester and pre-registration is encouraged.
Taking Eagles Hire! matches current students with mentors, job shadowing opportunities, internships or prospective employment at businesses referred to the Office of Alumni Relations by Northeastern alumni. Career Development Center staff work one-on-one with interested alumni and students to create customized experiential learning opportunities overseen by faculty advisors assigned to this initiative. Experiential learning is a process through which students attain knowledge skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting. It develops and cultivates other professional and intellectual skills highly valued by prospective employers.
The Career Connections Job Club (CCJC), designed for alumni in transition, is a support system that guides alumni in creating a "career narrative" that can be utilized for discovering new professional opportunities. Through small group interaction, participants learn to deepen their sense of a work identity, engage in a forum to gain peer support and express progress in their search. A Career Development Center counselor guides the group through five weekly sessions where participants work on personal goal setting and provide feedback to other group members. Guest presenters, personal development research and a self-evaluation assignment through a complimentary copy of StrengthsFinder 2.0 are all part of the program.*
(*Available only to upgraded members at the Blue & Gold membership level or higher.)
Other resources on campus that complement this program include the Ronald Williams Library Multimedia Resource Learning Center (MLRC) workshops as well as access to computer labs and various Alumni Center services and programs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 11, 2009) – Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) and Jennifer Joines Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.), both members of the U.S. Women's National Volleyball team and part of the silver-medal roster at the 2008 Olympic Games, know a thing or two about being tall.
Haneef-Park stands 200 centimeters tall, or 6-feet, 7-inches. Only two other women's volleyball players were taller than her at the 2008 Olympic Games – both Russian players who are 202 centimeters tall, less than one inch taller than Haneef-Park. Joines Tamas is listed on international rosters at 191 centimeters tall, nearly 6-3 1/2 in feet and inches. At the 2008 Olympic Games, she was the second tallest player on the U.S. Women's Olympic Team roster behind Haneef-Park.
In October of 2009, Haneef-Park and Joines Tamas jumped at the opportunity to share their story of growing up tall when asked to appear on the popular nationally syndicated television show Dr. Phil. Joines Tamas was contacted by her friend and editor of Volleyball Magazine, Erin Pryor, who had a friend working for the Dr. Phil show looking for tall, confident women to be part of a Dec. 2 episode titled "Parents' Biggest Fears." The episode would feature individual segments dealing with children's height, designer babies and sick children facing extreme odds for recovery.
Joines Tamas thought the episode's content was a great idea, but indicated to the show's producers that it would be great to include Haneef-Park as well since she was over three inches taller than her. A month later, both were in the show's Hollywood studio discussing height issues among children.
"Being volleyball players, we are around other tall players all the time and have similar stories," Joines Tamas said. "With this show, we finally had the chance to reach hundreds of thousands of people. It was an opportunity for me to celebrate being tall and offer tall, young girls advice as a role model who has gone through similar situations that they may be experiencing."
During the Dr. Phil show taped in early November, Joines Tamas and Haneef-Park were on stage for approximately 12 minutes. After the show's taping, they went back stage for additional interviews to be used on the show. According to Joines Tamas, the producers were impressed with her and Haneef-Park's charisma on stage and the message they were providing in the interviews. At that point, the show wanted to expand the segment that was just taped and asked that the players provide photos of themselves growing up that illustrated the unique problems of being tall at a young age.
Both athletes expressed during the show that they had a great support system to endure the challenges of growing up tall.
"I think it was a bit of a challenge," Haneef-Park said during the show's taping. "I always knew I was going to be tall, so I embraced it. Other people had more of a problem than I did. I remember being 5-feet, 11 ½ inches (tall) in the sixth grade. It was at that point I knew I could take several opportunities to play basketball or volleyball, or modeling. Being tall is what you make of it."
Photo: USA Volleyball "I can't say I never had any problems," Joines Tamas said during on the episode. "In junior high, of course I was ridiculed. Thankfully, I had a family that was very supportive. You can still be sexy at 6-feet, 3 – and a half (inches). I think both Tayyiba and I have lived a different life than most girls. Growing up, we had awkward teenage years, of course, taller than our peers, but with self-esteem shots from our parents…We've just embraced our height, and we would never take that back."
Haneef-Park stated that some of the best advice she ever received was to simply stand tall.
"Growing up I would see other tall adults who were slouched over when walking, and now they were hunched over and in pain," Haneef-Park said. "I learned from them to stand tall and be confident. To this day, I still get compliments on my posture."
Joines Tamas grew up not being able to find clothing that properly fit her long legs and torso. She would have to cut the ends off of an old pair of jeans and sew it to the bottom of a new pair to add length as she outgrew available sizes.
"When I was younger, one of my early dreams was to open a store called "String Bean" that specialized in clothing for tall girls," Joines Tamas said. "Now, stores such as Rock & Republic, The Buckle and The Gap exist that cater to taller women. However, I can't just walk in those stores and buy something off the rack. I still need to go to their online stores to purchase my clothes, get it in the mail and cross my fingers that they fit right."
Haneef-Park, who is expecting a child born in early spring, has also had a sympathetic voice from her husband Anthony Park, who stands an inch short of six-foot. Despite the eight-inch difference in height, Park has supported his wife's significant height advantage.
"I think her height is awesome," Park said on the show, "I encourage her to wear heels. I want to see how tall she can be. I think it's beautiful."
Unlike the height difference between Haneef-Park and her husband, Joines Tamas is shorter than her of husband of four months, Chris Tamas. At 198 centimeters tall (6-6), he was a standout collegiate volleyball setter who has trained with the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team.
Looking into the future, neither couple would explore the possibility of stunting the growth of their offspring, even if the technology was available to them.
"My husband is 6-feet, 6-inches," Joines Tamas told Dr. Phil on the show. "We could potentially – genetics are funny – but we could have girls who are well over 6-foot-5 or 6-foot-7. Who knows? And I will celebrate that with them. Every inch you get taller, there will be a party."
If she and her husband have a baby girl in the future, Joines Tamas indicated her daughter would be brought up feeling good about who she is regardless of her height.
"We would want to make sure our daughter feels confident in her height, and part of that would be building up her confidence through her peers," Joines Tamas said. "We would find other tall children who she could be around, and put her in activities where height is an asset and advantage. Sports would definitely be part of that equation."
Haneef-Park agreed that confidence is a key in overcoming the stigma of being tall.
"Everyone goes through a tough adolescent period regardless if you are tall, short, big or skinny," Haneef-Park said. "I would just encourage my daughter to be confident during this stage, and as she gets older, everything will be fine."
Now that one dream of opening her own clothing store has passed, Joines Tamas indicated that she has developed a new ambition that could influence the lives of young, tall girls.
"I absolutely want to be a volleyball coach after I am done playing," Joines Tamas said. "I love the sport and love talking to people, which is great for the recruiting side of coaching. It would also be another avenue to share my experience with other tall girls."
Haneef-Park is already involved in the coaching realm. She assists a 13s team at a local Las Vegas recreational league and will begin to serve as a floating coach at Nevada Juniors in the coming weeks.
And for Joines Tamas and Haneef-Park, they are up for the tall order in sharing the message that growing up as a tall girl is cause for celebration and shouldn't be subjected to the painful ridicule that often is associated with being different.

Stroke management involves identifying and treating the condition quickly, as time is a crucial element in preventing the long lasting consequences of stroke.
Treatment of stroke includes the following:
Immediate transfer of the patient to hospital as soon as symptoms are detected.
Once a patient has reached the hospital, a brain scan is performed using a computerised tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to provide clues about the cause and type of stroke. There are two types of stroke - ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke occurs due to a clot blocking a blood vessel and preventing the supply of blood to a part of the brain. Ischemic stroke makes up 80% of all strokes. Hemorrhagic stroke describes stroke caused by a blood vessel that has ruptured in the brain. Treatment depends on the type of stroke.
The patient is then admitted to a well equipped stroke unit.
In the case of an ischemic stroke, treatment involves:
Disintegrating the clot that is obstructing the blood vessel. This is achieved with the use of thrombolytic medications such as alteplase and reteplase. However, these agents only work if they are started during the first 4.5 hours after stroke onset.
After the clot is broken up, anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents are administered to prevent any further formation of clots. Examples include aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin and heparin.
Blood pressure is controlled using medications such as thiazide diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers.
Blood cholesterol is controlled using statins and an angioplasty procedure can be used to widen a narrowed blood vessel using a stent.
In the case of hemorrhagic stroke, treatment involves:
Emergency surgery to remove blood that has accumulated due to the ruptured blood vessel in the brain. The skull is cut open in a procedure called a craniotomy and the blood is collected and removed. This relieves any compression of surrounding brain tissue.
Blood pressure is controlled using medications such as thiazide diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers. This helps to prevent the recurrence of stroke.
Rehabilitation, physiotherapy and good nursing care are other important aspects in managing and treating stroke patients.

I was able to persuade (well, ok bribe and beg) an excellent archer who has a superb way with words, Lindsey Carmichael, to review a pre-print copy furnished by Tyler Benner, archer and co-author of the book. It's linked below, and you will find it a very good explanation of the book.
I will, for the future, refer to this method that Kisik teaches as "Kisik's Way", or Kisikdo (like Judo, TaeKwanDo) - there is no official name, other than to say that the book does not once use the phrase "Best method". And I have not asked permission to coin this name - I may be in hot water - I hope Kisik will forgive me. But for me, after reading this book, on top of all I have learned from him since his arrival, it is indeed a "do", a "way", and it's his. Kisikdo. It's a natural way to describe a most honest martial art approach to the art of archery..
The "BEST method" name was an introductory way to establish in America, to signal a break with the old ways, to show how different his method was from anything that has been devised before. And I think it is not so important what you call you it, but it's critical that you use it. And if I were to call it the American Method, be sure that elite archers and coaches around the world will rapidly adopt this method as well. US archers that ignore this way, this martial art, Kisikdo, will be left in the dust. I have a history of studying and exceling in several martial arts, Judo and TaeKwanDo, up to the brown belt level, 1st dan, and I am completely convinced that this book by Kisik has scientifically established a new martial art, of modern archery, and barring some compelling reason not to, will refer to this as KisikDo. (Kee Sik Doh') Sorry, coach Lee, but it is so - this is a path, a way, a method of not just shooting an arrow, but a way of life. I suspect his next book, for coaches, will profoundly complete this "way".
Once you read this book, you will realize as I have that he has created a new way of being an archer. Totally dissected, completely specified, each and every aspect is covered, in the mechanical sense and in a martial arts way. Kisik and Tyler speak to the archer on the most precise level.
NEXT, please read the review by Lindsey. Even if you do not adopt this way, if you are not able to commit to a new philosophy and cannot buy into this method now, if you are an archer you should be able to find something of value that can improve your game. And the vast majority of this applies to compounders, not just recurve archers.

The second book in the "TOTAL ARCHERY" series by Kisik Lee, called INSIDE THE ARCHER, is aimed at the archer,
though the coach will also want and need to know this book.
Lindsey Carmichael, accomplished archer and writer, has a review of the book at this link.
If you wish to order a copy of the book, which is a limited printing of 5,000 copies, you should use this link as soon as possible.
