Wildman delivers an action-role-playing experience that only a developer like Gas Powered Games can deliver. Think of it as a spiritual successor to our classic PC game Dungeon Siege, with a twist.
This is what Wildman is all about:
Explore the World: Go on RPG Adventures in amazing and epic environments; discover secret dungeons; fight battles against rampaging hordes of monsters; find and equip new weapons and armor.
Evolve or Die: Steal technology from your defeated opponents and use it against them in future battles.
Smash and Destroy: Advanced physics and destructible environments deliver highly visceral (and bloody) combat.
Go to War: Build your army and fight against opposing champions armies for great rewards in hand-crafted War Zones.
Imagine a game where you control a single hero—the "Wildman"—dropped into the middle of a War Zone. The battle starts. Your own army begins to engage the approaching enemy.
You support your troops with your own combat abilities and skills. You shape-shift into new forms that grant you new abilities. You upgrade your armies with new technology. You construct defenses. Your opponent switches tactics; you reconfigure your army to counter.
You push the enemy back to their citadel, their home base. You face your opponent's champion. You each rally your troops for support. You execute your special abilities with precision. Your opponent is devastated.
You survey the battlefield: the bodies strewn on the ground, the trees burned down and smoldering, the buildings turned to rubble. You collect your rewards. You evolve.
Victory is yours. For now.
Now imagine that between these War Zone battles you can go on role-playing adventures. You can explore fantastical environments. You can discover ancient dungeons full of mystery and treasure. You can earn new skills. You can discover and equip new weapons and armor. You can collect materials. You can craft new items. You can fight relentless onslaughts of men and monsters.
Wildman has fast-paced combat and deep role-playing that rewards strategic thinking. The more you play, the greater your power.
Wildman will feature a score from the legendary Jeremy Soule, composer for Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, Supreme Commander, Skyrim, Morrowind, Oblivion, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Dawn of War, and pretty much every other game with an epic score.
Wildman represents the union of our experience working on pure RPG and RTS games, and we're pulling some of the best features from our past games into the Wildman experience.
From Dungeon Siege: The core action-RPG experience. Equip weapons and gear, cast spells. Fight monsters. Level-up. Find loot.
From Supreme Commander: The core RTS experience. Create armies. Explore a tech tree that lets you customize your hero and armies. Adjust your strategy on-the-fly.
From Demigod: You don't fight alone in Wildman. Waves of allies fight alongside you in the War Zones as you push the battle ahead, seize key control points, and destroy the enemy citadels.
Wildman is exciting because it's something new, but it's also reminiscent of these games we've made and loved. We want to make this game, and we have the right people to do it.
Chris Taylor founded Gas Powered Games in 1998. We've been an independent developer for our entire history.
"Wait a second, you're no indie," you might say. "All of your games have been from publishers."
This is true. We've chosen to partner with publishers in the past to get our games into your hands, but it's equally true that we've maintained our independence working within the system. We've made a number of original games, we've worked on sequels, and we've worked on other people's games. Members of the GPG family weren't just contributors to classic games like Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, and Supreme Commander: We were the lead designers, the lead engineers, and the lead artists.
For Wildman, we've assembled a team that includes:
Project Lead/Lead Designer: Chris Taylor got his start in the industry working for Distinctive Software as a programmer and designer on Hardball II. In 1991, he began to refine his interest in designs based on complex simulations and technology with the first 3D polygonal boxing game, 4D Boxing. After spending multiple years developing the first Triple Play baseball for Electronic Arts, he decided to join legendary industry figure Ron Gilbert at the fledgling startup Cavedog Entertainment to design and engineer the hugely influential and innovative real-time strategy game Total Annihilation (1997). Its combination of complex simulation, UI control, and deep strategy remains unmatched to this day.
He left Cavedog to found Gas Powered Games, where he immediately started work on the action-role-playing game Dungeon Siege (2002). It featured an enormous streaming world with no loadscreens—an innovation that's now become standard for open-world games—and supported multiple character parties. Next up was 2007's Supreme Commander, which was considered by many the spiritual sequel to Total Annihilation and introduced a replacement for the standard RTS mini-map in the form of "strategic zoom." Its 2010 sequel added a new technology tree that let players re-configure their armies during the heat of battle.
Design: In addition to Chris, some of the other designers working on Wildman include Brian Fricks, who got his start modding Dungeon Siege before joining us to work on all of our games since Dungeon Siege II. Eric Williamson has worked on systems design and tuning and balancing for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, Demigod, Supreme Commander 2, and Age of Empires Online. Steve Bauman was the editor-in-chief of Computer Games Magazine for over a decade before joining GPG in 2007 to contribute to the design of our most recent games.
Engineering: The Wildman engineering effort is led by James Loe and Chad Queen. James got his start working with Chris at Cavedog on Total Annihilation before moving over to GPG to work on the Dungeon Siege team. Chad Queen has been his partner-in-code since the earliest days at GPG, and they've worked on (and re-worked) engines and architectures for Dungeon Siege, Supreme Commander, and Age of Empires Online.
Art: If you're a fan of Total Annihilation, you're probably familiar with the legendary Kbot. What you may not know is that it was named after one of our artists, Kevin Pun, who followed Chris to GPG and has since worked on the art for most of our games. Stu Rose spent 12 years working at a small, unknown upstart called Blizzard Entertainment, making art and stuff for equally small and unknown games like WarCraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and World of WarCraft. He also designed the Blizzard logo and was the voice of the peasant in WarCraft. For reals.
We're giving you a chance to be at ground zero of this game's development, to contribute to the next big thing from Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games. We will give you frequent updates from programmers, artists, and designers. We will produce fun videos, chats, podcasts, blogs, and lots more.
We've already started work on Wildman, but we need your help to finish it. We want to follow more closely the examples of companies like Valve and Blizzard, who iterate on as many ideas as possible before settling on the "right" features.With that in mind, we have intentionally left some areas of the game's design wide open. This isn't to say we don't know what we want to do, or that we lack direction or focus. Instead, it's an indicator that we're hoping we get to make Wildman a bit more organically, with your feedback.
The beauty of Kickstarter specifically, and crowdfunding and crowdsourcing in general, is that we can tap into the creative power of our community to help us make the right choices. You're not just backing a project; you're becoming an active participant in its creation and have a chance to shape its direction. Your support is vital, and we're excited to explore this new way of making games with you.
Wildman is an all-new game that needs to be created from the ground up. We are creating a new world, a new RPG system, and it requires new art, characters, animation, and sound. We need to develop engines and servers.
We're looking for a little something… extra from you to make Wildman an even better experience. In other words, we want to add more… stuff for you.
The game's design is flexible enough that we will be able to add new features or contents if we reach certain funding stretch goals. Examples include:
More: A bigger, richer world filled with even more enemies, more player characters, more visual customization, more animation, more diverse landscapes, more music, and more multiplayer options. Basically, more.
Languages: We intend to support English at launch, but through a combination of your support and crowd-translating, we can add more languages: German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian; if there's enough interest in playing the game in that language, we'll do what we can to get it translated.
Modding: We want to release "friendlier" versions of the tools we use to make the game, with Wikis on their use. With additional support, we can get these in your hands faster, letting you get started making your own worlds and game modes that you can give away or sell from within the game. Get paid for your own hard work!
We've also joined the Kicking it Forward initiative, and will be pledging 5% of Wildman's profits to other projects in the Kickstarter community. Learn more at http://kickingitforward.org.
We're a company of experienced developers with years of experience working on projects like this. Everyone here is fully committed to delivering an awesome game. This is going to be a blast!
We know there's some risk for us to using Kickstarter at this stage of a game's development, but we also feel it's an ideal time to influence and change its direction based on your feedback. You get to help decide the final shape it takes.
Thank you for checking out this project, and feel free to tell us what you do and don't like about the concept or the Kickstarter. If you're interested in Wildman, please spread the word to all of your friends. Let's make this happen!
Risks and challenges
Making games is inherently risky, with unseen challenges that inevitably spring up over the course of development. But we're an experienced team, and we're using our own proven technology and tools. We're confident we can address these issues.
Most of the costs of a computer game development project are in the salaries of the people working on it, so significant delays in its release could require an additional influx of capital. Without this additional money, the release date could be in jeopardy. Mitigating that risk, however, is our history of delivering projects on-budget and on-time.
The design challenge is to blend two familiar genres in a satisfying way, and do it in a very short amount of time. We will only release Wildman when it meets our quality bar, and we intend to release in within a year of this Kickstarter. This is an ambitious goal, but we'll have a lot of help…from all of you. Let's do this together!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
We currently support Windows. However, we are currently in the process of making our underlying technology more platform-agnostic. Specifically, we're switching out the renderer from Windows-only Direct3D to the multi-platform OpenGL. This opens the door to other platforms.
Currently, Linux and OS/X support are stretch goals. We'll be announcing the specifics of those goals as we get closer to our initial funding goal.
Yes! You can find a Paypal link on our website http://wildman.gaspowered.com.
No, PayPal donations don't count toward the Kickstarter funding goal. We'd prefer you use Kickstarter, with PayPal as a backup for those unable to fund via Kickstarter for whatever reason. You can also use Paypal to pay for international shipping, if you missed paying for it via the Kickstarter. This will all be handled down the road.
Yes. At the end of the campaign we will add all funds together to determine which goals we have met.
Right now, the only goal is "fund the game." As we get closer to that milestone, we'll unveil additional goals.
We haven't set a final price yet, but its initial price will be higher than what we're offering to Kickstarter backers. We got your back.
There will be no DRM.
Yes. We will have an offline mode, as well as an online mode that stores character data.
We like Steam. We've made multiple games for Steam. We know where Valve's offices are. They even answer our e-mails. But to sort of answer the question, we want to get the game to as many people as possible, and Steam is a great way to do that. However, we're not quite ready to divulge our digital partners; regardless, we'd need to go through an approval process. We can say that it won't be GFWL, since so many of you specifically asked about that.
We are going to be offering both compressed MP3 and lossless FLAC formats for the soundtrack when it becomes available for download. The 720P version of the movie will be available in MP4 format and the 480P version will be in VOB format for direct burning to DVD.
English initially, with other languages dependent on funding. We may also crowdsource some localization, which could be awesome or terrible, or terribly awesome.
It's too early to say, but we plan on having persistent battle damage, which is a fancypants way of saying "gore." So, think Mature or 17 to 18.
All extra copies are the base Digital Edition, which will be available when the game launches. They don't include any extras, beyond the download code.

Mr. Speaker,
Whenever we embark On a voyage of remembrance We well expect that the trying time Could exact more human toll
The expedition bringing Canada's Unknown Soldier home from Vimy, France Was a wonderful effort by President Chuck Murphy and the Royal Canadian Legion.
Chuck was to see this millennium dream succeed. He was to bring an Unknown Soldier home To a final rest on Canada's soil; then he himself passed away.
Today we remember two soldiers, One unknown, who represents all war dead And the one who brought him home
Chuck Murphy, Dominion Command President of the Royal Canadian Legion Husband to Alice, Father, grandfather and friend,
At the going down of the sun and In the morning, we will remember him.

Mr. Speaker, we were all terribly saddened to learn of the death of Maurice "Rocket" Richard. He is mourned by his family and friends, and by hosts of admirers.
This man who wore the Montreal Canadiens' sweater for so many years was a symbol and an inspiration to many. He gave his heart and soul to hockey during his entire career. He has left an unforgettable mark on several generations of Canadians and was their inspiration.
For 18 years, the Rocket roused the passions of fans with his deeds, which rose far above the ordinary, and in his playing and in his courage he incarnated the hopes and aspirations of French Canadians.
His great qualities and his exceptional talent will reserve for Maurice Richard an important page in our national history.

Ovid Jackson Bruce—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I know I am not alone today in expressing my heartfelt condolences to the people of Walkerton. In the past few days this small town suffered tremendous hardship due to the E.coli bacteria in its water supply system.
As a news story it has captured headlines across the country. As a tragedy it has brought out the best in people throughout the region. During this time of adversity the community has risen to meet the crisis head on, showing both strength and courage. Neighbouring towns, health professionals and area residents are making invaluable contributions of water, resources, time and support. They deserve our tremendous thanks.
I spoke to the mayor of the community. He asked me to express his appreciation for the support of all my colleagues, of all the towns across Canada, and of the Prime Minister. My prayers are with those who have lost relatives to E.coli. I hope that the people of Walkerton will rebound from this tragedy. I wish them strength and a speedy recovery.

Paul Forseth New Westminster—Coquitlam—Burnaby, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada buried a soldier in Ottawa yesterday. We do not know his name, his hometown or even the circumstances of his death in battle. However we do know that he was young and that he died fighting for all of us. For this we pay tribute to the Unknown Soldier.
Yesterday thousands stood in solemn silence as a horse-drawn gun carriage wheeled the casket draped with the Canadian flag to the final resting place at the foot of the war memorial. Soil from the original grave in France, as well as soil from all provinces and territories, was spread on the casket.
This lad fought in a battle thousands of miles from home for all to have freedom, a freedom we sometimes take for granted. Still today tens of thousands of soldiers remain buried with no identification. Though unknown they will always be remembered in our hearts for what they did and why.
Brigadier-General M. C. Farwell, chaplain general of the Canadian forces said it best in his closing prayer, "Lord, you know him. You know him by name. And you keep him close to you forever".

David Pratt Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday Canada laid to rest the body of an unknown Canadian soldier in a special tomb next to the national war memorial. This soldier's body which lay for over 80 years in the Cabernet Rouge cemetery in northern France was finally brought home last week after a formal ceremony at Vimy Ridge.
I had the honour and privilege of joining the official delegation in France last week which included the Minister of Veterans Affairs, representatives of veterans organizations, a few parliamentarians and members of the Canadian forces. It was an experience I will not soon forget.
I would like to pay tribute to all of those responsible for making the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier a reality. In particular, I would like to single out Mr. Chuck Murphy, former president of the Royal Canadian Legion who unfortunately passed away last Thursday only hours after returning from France. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Jean-Guy Chrétien Frontenac—Mégantic, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, a soldier who was returned to his native land after more than 80 years, was laid to rest not far from here. We will never know if he was a Canadian or a Quebecer, whether or not he was an officer, how old he was or where he was born.
We pay tribute to him because he gave his life for freedom. Because he is nameless, he represents the tens of thousands of his compatriots—soldiers, aviators or seamen like him—who lost their lives in the cause of freedom during the two great wars, in Korea and during peacekeeping missions.
His presence among us is a reminder that the price of that freedom was much suffering, the loss of thousands of lives, and the tears of all those whose loved ones did not return.
Let us never forget these lines written by Victor Hugo, which still ring true today:
Those who for their country gave their lives Should hear the prayers of many at their grave
Justice Jules Deschênes

Ted McWhinney Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, Jules Deschênes, who died on May 10, was a distinguished jurist.
He was appointed to the Quebec Court of Appeal in 1972, as chief justice of the Superior Court from 1973 to 1983, and as one of the judges on the special UN tribunal on war crimes in Yugoslavia. But it is primarily for his constitutional rulings that he will be remembered.
In 1976, he upheld the constitutionality of the Bourassa government's Bill 22 establishing French as the official language of Quebec; in 1978, he struck down a section of the Lévesque government's Bill 101, in order to affirm the equality of French and English in the National Assembly and in Quebec's courts; and, in 1982, he struck down another section of Bill 101 limiting access to English language education.
A true federalist, Justice Deschênes understood the importance—

Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, after spending this past week in my riding, on behalf of my constituents I rise in the House today to express our concern for the health care system in peril.
Canadians across the country are concerned about their health care system and so they should be. The government's response to date has been downright insulting.
The budget that gave $2.5 billion over four years to health and education is an insult. A health committee that does not address the health issues of importance to Canadians is an insult. A health minister who is all talk and no action is an insult. A federal government that chooses to antagonize the provinces and refuses to work co-operatively with them is an insult.
Canada is the fifth highest spender and is in the bottom one-third of OECD countries for health care. We have farmers, educators, industrial workers and professionals concerned about health care. So they should be.
A government that is unable to address this growing concern is an insult to Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, today I want to take the opportunity to welcome the President of the Hellenic Republic to Canada and to our capital city, Ottawa.
It is the first time since 1982 that such an individual has visited Canada. I take this opportunity on behalf of all my colleagues in the House to welcome the President of the Hellenic Republic as 350,000 Greek Canadians are celebrating.
It is very significant. He was the first official foreign visitor to visit the tomb of the Unknown Soldier the other day. I applaud him and welcome him.
Status Of Women

Michelle Dockrill Bras D'Or, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Terry Brown, the newly elected president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.
Ms. Brown is the first aboriginal woman to hold this post. On behalf of the NDP caucus I want to take this opportunity to welcome her.
Unfortunately, women continue to fight for access to health care, child care and employment insurance. These are issues that affect all Canadians but often have a greater impact on women.
Unfortunately for women, good health care, accessible child care, decent employment insurance, violence against women and equality issues simply have been ignored by the government.
We in the NDP caucus recognize that these issues are vital to Canadian women and are a top priority. The question Canadian women ask is when will the Liberal government make these issues its priority?

Mr. Speaker, it is with pride and great pleasure that I rise once again to draw attention to the great and convincing victory of the Rimouski Oceanic, the team that represented the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Yesterday, in Halifax, the Oceanic won the Memorial Cup, a feat made possible by the quality of their play and by their discipline.
I extend my warmest congratulations to the players and I take this opportunity to stress the good work of their coaches and the uncommon support of the community.
Bravo to the players of the Oceanic. Their numerous fans, including myself, are elated and rightly so.

Mr. Speaker, January 2000 marked the beginning of the bone and joint decade. The secretary-general of the United Nations has launched this decade in collaboration with the World Health Organization and various national and international organizations for people with musculoskeletal disorders.
There are currently 21 countries whose national governments have officially endorsed the decade but Canada is not one of them. Fortunately however, Canada has put into place a national action network which includes 18 organizations that are working on the promotion of this issue. The Arthritis Society of Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research are both supportive of and taking part in this initiative.
I would like to take this opportunity to bring attention to this global initiative and thank all of the organizations that are part of the efforts in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome, along with over 300,000 Canadians of Hellenic origin, His Excellency the President of the Hellenic Republic on his official visit to Canada.
This is the first time since 1982 that a head of state of the Hellenic Republic has visited Canada at the invitation of the Canadian government. Canada and Greece have historically shared friendly relations founded on shared values for democratic principles, respect for human rights and international law.
One of the greatest moments in my political career was when I received, along with two colleagues of Hellenic origin, the Golden Cross of the Order of Phoenix for our contributions to promoting closer ties between our country of origin, Greece, and Canada, which with our Prime Minister, has given me the privilege of sitting in the House.
I wish to thank both the Ambassador of Greece to Canada who proposed my candidacy and the President of the Hellenic Republic, a great statesman, respected domestically and internationally, for bestowing such a great honour on the daughter of two Greek immigrants who chose what I consider to be the greatest country in the world as their second homeland.

Mr. Speaker, today Armenia is a proud independent country controlling its own destiny on the world stage. Unfortunately, Armenia has not always enjoyed such freedom and independence.
Following 600 years of oppression, independence was first gained from the Ottoman Empire on May 28, 1918. Tragically, freedom was shortlived as the communist takeover on December 2, 1920 was the beginning of 70 years of tyranny at the hands of the communist leaders of the U.S.S.R.
Celebrated as an important milestone in Armenian history, the 1918 independence, though brief, freed Armenia from the oppression of the Ottoman Turks and is the foundation of the new Armenian state which regained its independence on September 21, 1990.
I would like to join my fellow members of parliament in wishing Armenia a happy birthday.

A 1,300-Km Solo Run Across Sweden
Q&A with Christine Hägglund, named Swedish Adventurer of the Year, on her unsupported run across Sweden
Photo courtesy of Christine Hägglund
Editor's Note: This is the second installment of a mini-series on trailrunnermag.com about women running multi-day adventures on the trails. See part I, a Q&A with Jo Meek, here.
On August 8, 2013, Christine Hägglund reached the 1,300 kilometer mark. She had just finished running the 807 miles from Treriksröset to Grövelsjön in Sweden, completely unsupported, in 39 days. The 42-year-old mother of three—ages 6, 8 and 10—decided to finally put her dreams into action, traversing sandy trails, barren chaparral and expansive meadows, all against the backdrop of Swedish fells.
On the way back from a triathlon training camp last year with her husband, Pär, "We started talking about what we wanted to do with our lives," says Hägglund, an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, "and I brought up the idea [of running across Sweden]. He said, 'You know, we have no idea, in 10 years from now we'll have three teenagers at home and you may not have the physics to make it. Why don't you just go this summer?'" Hägglund started planning immediately, and on July 1, 2013, she began her trip.
Hägglund is no stranger to dreaming big—and completing her goals. For their honeymoon, she and Pär biked Iceland. "It took us 22 days to go from Reykjavik to Akureyri in the north, back down through Vestmanneyar in the south, and returning to the capital again," says Hägglund. The couple had known each other in university, but it wasn't until they returned to their hometown that they realized they had a connection and wanted to leave the city—and moved away together. Even their eldest daughter's first word was "tyr," the Swedish word for "äventyr," meaning adventure.
Hägglund thanks her active family life, both growing up and now, for her running capabilities and outdoor interests.
"We spent time in the mountains and in the woods a lot when I was little," she says. "My parents loved picking berries, especially cloudberries, where you have to walk through swamps for a full day to fill up your buckets."

I've been ignoring the heat wave and drinking Adagio Silver Needle in my non-airconditioned kitchen the past 2 days. Unlike the_skua I couldn't detect Jasmine in the tea. I brewed my tea at 160 degrees for 3 minutes, and while the tea was lightly sweet and floral it was nothing like the Jasmine Silver Needles that I'm so fond of.
This is my taste of plain Silver Needles in some time so I can't compare Adagio's entry until I try some of the other teas in the OTTI.
Chip, thanks again for doing this.

The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus (aka the Jesuits), was known for his practical spirituality. The "way of Ignatius" has helped millions of people from the doubtful seeker to the devout believer find freedom, make friends, live simply, work sensibly, fall in love, experience joy, and enter into a relationship with God.
The Ignatian goal of "finding God in all things" eans that every part of our lives can lead us to God. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything shows us how this is possible, with user-friendly examples, humorous stories and anecdotes from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and average priests and brothers, as well as examples from Martin's twenty years as a Jesuit. The traditional wisdom that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives is easily applied, but not often explained well to the general public. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything translates these insights of St. Ignatius for a modern audience and reveals how we can find God and how God can find us in the real world of work, love, suffering, decisions, prayer, and friendship.
Praise For…
"[The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything] becomes like a read-along spiritual director, someone to prompt you with questions, redirect your gaze and help you, Martin says, to 'discern where God might be speaking to you.'"
-USA Today
"User-friendly...The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything…helpfully unpacks core precepts like 'finding God in all things.'"
"An excellent introduction to Jesuit spirituality for a general reader.... [Martin's] writing is accessible, comprehensive, and often humorous."
Writing beautifully, and with frequent touches of humor, James Martin, SJ, shows us what he's learned in religious life, and in the process offers us a rich spiritual feast.

Skip to comments.Obamas Statement on Egypt (still sides with Morsi)
Posted on 07/03/2013 4:57:01 PM PDT by markomalley
As I have said since the Egyptian Revolution, the United States supports a set of core principles, including opposition to violence, protection of universal human rights, and reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people. The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law. Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force.
The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters. Given todays developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.wsj.com ...
It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.
He will probably cutoff foreign military aid to Egypt.
some people can tolerate having been lied to for only so long
He must go...he is becoming to dangerous to US.
The obozo administration said they were thinking of reducing the aid the US gives to Egypt if Mursi was deposed - now that it's happened, the US can keep the ~4+ billion a year that is spent there!!
Of course he does. He, Hillary, Rino's and the liberal MSM bet the ranch
on the "Arab Spring" and the violent Muslim Botherhood. Looks like they
all bet on the wrong Arab Spring.
Like most children, he refuses to admit that he might me wrong.
I was waiting for that-his attempt to get their attention through his mention of "aid" and the "implications" if they don't put his man back.
Agreed. What's your plan?
He's warning the military that aid will be cut if they don't turn over rule to a non-military interim gov't quickly.
Civil Disobedience...and lots of noise to start. Then...
Who knows;^)
...if it good for the US, Odungo does the opposite.
Laser boy will draw more lines in the sand, or whatever Russia tells him he can do. (he's got more leeway)
Nothing like a homosexual administration which gained power to promote homosexual agendas through corrupt democratic power mechanics to encourage a Muslim leaning foreign nation in their political turbulence to embrace democracy.
(It's almost as convincing as posting women as Ambassadors to Muslim nations.)
I don't know if he's wrong or he's right (though my reflex with him is that if he likes it, it must be bad, especially for the US), and I doubt that he knows, because I doubt that he's all that concerned wth the "wrong and right" of it, at least from Egypt's viewpoint. But isn't it rather crass, in the 21st C, to openly state before the world to a sovereign nation, "cave, or no more dinero"? Won't that put the back up of Egyptians, for him to call them on carpet, so to speak, in public?
Wonder if Putin has any interest in getting in on this?
Well of course he does. The whole Muslim Brotherhood thingie. But it just blew up in his face.
What comes out of Obama's mouth is often a lie.
Nothing more stupid than a woman ambassador to a Muslim Nation. They CANNOT do anything she says or they will look weak. It is also very insulting. No wait, there is one thing worse.
A black woman Ambassador.
He has lost an ally in his idea of a "New World Order". He will threaten a lot and make a lot of impossible demands just like those made to the Shah of Iran by Jimmuh Carter.
nobama (and his degenerate grifter family) are somewhat entertaining in their stupidity as they bumble about the world. However, they should be in prison.
This is a stunning and turning-point defeat to the NWO, IMO.
Let us hope so.
I still think our genius foreign policy master, obama, should go personally to Egypt and tell the masses they are wrong and he is right.
Are you referring to Morsi, or Obama?
Obama is more dangerous to us than is Morsi.
Both, but I meant bozo barry mussie piece of something I scraped off the bottom of my shoe..;^)
The major mistake was even mentioning US aid. Given todays developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt.
It is a ham-handed approach that didn't need to be made public. It will not be well-received by any of the parties.
Anyone remember this?
If he cuts off aid Putin will be happy to jump in and pick up the slack.
He'll just send OUR money Directly to the Muslim Brotherhood.....he's probably a MEMBER!
THAT needs to be put on EVERY thread...EVERY THREAD!!!
Texas Republican Sen.Ted Cruz blasted the Obama administrations policy toward Egypt in a scathing op-ed in Foreign Policy magazine, slamming the presidents stance on the Muslim Brotherhood one of the most stunning diplomatic failures in recent memory.
As the Egyptian military ends President Mohamed Morsis rule, Cruz points out that the ire of many people in the streets of Cairo is not reserved for the Muslim Brotherhood alone.
The people protesting in the streets were not only carrying anti-Morsi signs, Cruz writes. They were also carrying signs with slogans like Obama Supports Terrorism and Obama Supports Morsi, as well as pictures of the American ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, with a large red X through her face.
Below are some examples of the pictures and signs carried by the enemies of Herr Obozo, the Egyptian People in Cairo.
Re: post 31 - Wow!
Egyptians are saying what the regime tries to keep Americans from saying!
I agree.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
He will probably cutoff foreign military aid to Egypt...As well he should.
No wait, there is one thing worse.
A black woman Ambassador.....Worse yet, a faggot, queer, effeminate sock... you get me drift, matey.
The spoiled brat with daddy issues can't come to terms that he was incorrect.

My preferment is a 14 year old starter that I have been feeding and using for bread making.
Kevin,With the oven you have, I would personally use only the preferment, without the commercial yeast, with the objective being to try to replicate the authentic Neapolitan style. You can always decide later to add commercial yeast if you are not satisfied with the results.For the preferment, you might want to use up to 5% by weight of water (not flour). Alternatively, if you'd like, you can use up to 20% by weight of flour.

Boyd;All Trumps is a General Mills brand of flour. The next time you get ready to place an order for flour from Restaurant Depot give them a call to see if they carry, or can get the General Mills Organic High Gluten Flour. It comes in at about 12.5% protein content so it should work fine for all but the most die-hard New York pizza makers. We use it all the time so I can say that it would work very well in your application.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor

Skip to comments.Panetta Says Hillary Clinton Inspired His Women-in-Combat Decision
Posted on 02/15/2013 11:31:11 AM PST by Olog-hai
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says Hillary Clinton inspired his decision to allow women in combat.
And in many ways, I have to tell you, it was her inspiration that encouraged me to move forward to be able to bring down the last barriers for women in the Department of Defense and to give them the ability to have a chance to engage in combat. I thank you for that inspiration, Panetta told Clinton at a Pentagon ceremony on Thursday.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
We are being run by evil, mentally defective people.
The way I read this it means that Panetta did this so he could send Hill-Dawg into front-line combat.
Good enough for me.
So this creep listens to a bull-dykeish, liar, coward, overweight, traitorous, thief, and obstructor of justice to inspire him. What a guy!
They should put Hitlery in the front lines. Disgusting!
Translation: Panetta hasn't been able to kill Hillary so far and now he's hoping she dies in combat.
He squats to pee.
Hilary Clinton, a worthless anti war left wing political opportunist.
He wasn't inspired by the fighting women in our service .... Hilary Clinton.
Do people even have any idea that scum like Panetta are screwing our country?
Why does the word "Battleaxe" come to mind?
Good, draft Chelsea.
Seeing Hillary from behind, I think of The Cavalry.
Maybe that was it.
Where does he think the label "Battle Axe" came from?
Okay, so when your daughters are drafted and sent into combat and wounded, captured, raped and murdered you know who to blame.
That's funny... When I see Hillary from the front I think of seeing cavalry from behind.
Almost,but not quite.
What I think of is that this must have been what Hannibal's rear guard must have seen of the Elephant Corps while crossing the Alps...
"They should put Hitlery in the front lines."
They'll never tear her away from licking the toilet seats in the ladies room.
We're so shocked. [Loaded with irony.]
She is too old. I imagine it will be for only white 18-25 year old females.
Her most revealing moment, yet, was her explosion before Congress on why anyone would care about the "whys" & "whats" of the Benghazi killings. Those facial expressions ought to give many, nightmares for a long time to come.
William Flax
"I have to tell you, it was her inspiration that encouraged me to move forward ..." Her dodging all those snipers - Yeah Right!
Hillary should be a 'Standard for all of us'.
She tried to enlist in the USMC but they didn't want a strong woman.
While the wife of a Governor she became quite the 'financial expert'.
While a Senator she came under attack while on a tarmac on a distant shore and were she in the Military she would have been awarded a Combat Action Ribbon.
One of the reports had her being in a serious plane crash as a result of 'her' plane being shot down.
She heroically 'stood up' to the Mean R's while testifying while she was still recovering from a Migraine, Concussion, Tumor, PMS, (take your pick).
And just to show her 'Loyalty', she appeared on National TV with the pResident and was subjected to an intense grilling.
Wonder Woman has nothing on the 'greatest SecDef' of all time, I don't see why HRC wasted her time flying around the world on an Airplane and BroomStick when she had such 'super powers'.
Panetta was inspired by the gallantry that Hillary performed when she was under 'Sniper Fire' after landing in war torn Bosnia in March 1996.
See the combat footage here:
Hillary Clinton isn't exactly the female equivalent of Chesty Puller. Panetta is an imbecile.
I'm just wondering which will come first. Women being forced to sign up for the draft or the draft being declared unconstitutional.. (probably for being racist).
Lol your post #23. Understated well.
She used to command the 23rd Arkansas Ashtray-Launching Division.
Uyghur, PLEASE!
"Look at her, Sir. She's doing three second rushes!"
"No, Sergeant. She's just drunk and falling down again."
He must have based his decision on Hillary's exposure to sniper fire while landing in Bosnia.

County Reduces Voting Districts, Increases Polling Locations
MAYVILLE – The Chautauqua County Board of Elections is making an effort to clear up voting confusion.
Beginning this fall, the county will see a reduction in total voting districts, along with an increase in polling locations. Norman P. Green and Brian C. Abram, elections commissioners, recently announced there will be 20 percent fewer county election districts. The number will be reduced from 124 to 99 total districts. Additionally, there will be five new poll sites for voters.
"The reason for the reduction in election districts is to reduce voter confusion presented by having many districts at one poll site," Abram said. "We also want to take full advantage of cost savings available to us due to new voting equipment that will accommodate a significantly higher number of voters than the old lever voting machine technology."
According to a press release, voters will be notified in late July of voting district and poll site assignments, as part of the election board's annual mail check card, which is sent to all of the county's 80,000 registered voters. A second mailing will also be sent in October to any households whose poll site has changed or moved, in order to ensure everyone is aware of the changes. There will also be two expanded notices published in The Post-Journal and The Observer in October and November.
"We want to assure voters that we have moved cautiously with election district reductions," Green said. "Brian and I are committed to a stress free voter experience on Election Day with minimal wait time to vote. "
While there will be no changes in districts and polling sites in Arkwright, Cherry Creek, town of Dunkirk, Ellington, French Creek, Harmony, Mina, North Harmony, Poland, Portland, Sherman and Villenova, there will be changes in other locations throughout the county.
The most significant changes will be in the city of Jamestown. The total number of election districts are being reduced from 24 to 19. There will be a new polling site at the Gateway Train Station, 211 Second St., which will be replacing two former sites.
According to the commissioners, the significant changes in Jamestown are related to major changes in legislature lines, as well as poll site host changes. The voters who will be affected by these changes will be notified of new poll site assignments in July, and again in October.
In Busti, town election districts are being reduced from eight down to five. The new voting location for all village of Lakewood voters, as well as some voters outside of the village's boundaries is the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, located at 35 West Fairmount Ave.
The election districts were also reduced in Carroll, from three to two. However, voters will continue to vote at the Frewsburg Fire Station.
In Charlotte, the election districts are reduced as well, from two to one. Voters will continue to vote at the Sinclairville Fire Station.
In Chautauqua, the new voting location for all town and village of Mayville voters will at the Mayville United Methodist Church, located at 81 South Erie St. Additionally, the town election districts are reduced from five to four.
Residents of Clymer will continue to vote at the Abbe Reformed Church. However, election districts in Clymer will be reduced as well, from two down to one.
Election districts in the city of Dunkirk will reduce by one, as districts go from 13 to 12. A minimal number of voters will need to be notified of new poll site assignments. According to the commissioners, changes are due to legislature reapportionment, as well as safety concerns relating to voters crossing the city train tracks to vote. However, there will be no poll site location changes in the city.
There will be no poll site changes in Ellery. but there will be a reduction in election districts, from five to three.
Due to how new legislative district lines were drawn, Ellicott is the only town in the county that will see an increase in election districts, from nine to 10. There will be a new election district poll site at Girl Scouts of WNY, 2661 Horton Rd., which will service north Ellicott voters. Celoron Village voters will also have a new poll site, which will be located at the Celoron Community Building, 47 Dunham Ave.
Voters in Gerry will continue to vote at the Gerry Fire Hall. However, elections districts will be reduced from two to one.
In Hanover, no voters will be changing poll sites, although election districts will be reduced from eight down to five.
Elections districts will be reduced from two to one in Kiantone. However, voters will continue to vote at the Kiantone Community Building. Additionally, in Pomfret, voters will continue to vote at their regular poll sites, although election districts will be reduced from 10 to eight. And, in Ripley, voters will continue to vote at Ripley Central School, although election districts are reduced from three to two.
In Sheridan, elections districts are also reduced from three to two. The Sheridan Town Community Center will remain the town's voting site. In Stockton, election districts are reduced from three to two, with voters continuing to vote at their regular poll sites. And, in Westfield, election districts are reduced from four to three. Eason Hall Auditorium will continue to be the town's poll site.
Voters can visit www.votechautauqua.com to look up their current registration information and poll site location. They may also call 753-4580 to contact the Board of Elections directly for questions.

Formerly Thyroid/L-Tyrosine
Truly amazed and grateful
Posted by Reviewer2452252 on Mar 12, 2009
Those single stars in the last two reviews make no sense as they don't rate the product. I have hypothyroid, as do my three sisters, who are all on prescription meds. In the past year and a half, I have been feeling "beat" all the time and lacking motivation to work out due to fatigue. I took this product and in three days (that's no exaggeration), I am back to my old self. I even beat my sprint-on-the-treadmill record this morning. I feel way more powerful and confident and youthful. My husband commented on this as well.
Enzymatic Therapy, Thryroid Formula
Posted by Reviewer2085227 on Jul 02, 2008
Great product. I tried Thyroid Energy by Now foods in January... NO Comparison. This product DOES something... that did NOTHING!
Helps with the other t's on the thyroid tests
Posted by Reviewer2396425 on Dec 29, 2007
Am hypothyroid and this makes me feel so much better than just the prescription thyroid by itself
Great Product
Posted by Reviewer2566378 on Apr 11, 2008
This product really works! I didn't think so at first but I continued using it and in 3 weeks time I feel that my digestion has improved, as well as some aches in my sides have vanished. And the added plus is that I am losing weight I now have plenty of energy to walk more than ever! I would recommend this product to anyone who has a sluggish thyroid and/or digestive system. Thank you IHerb for your great prices and quick deliveries.
Works Well
Posted by Reviewer1430737 on Dec 15, 2007
I've been taking this product for a few years and when I have run out I noticed a decrease in my energy level. I don't have the side effects with this product as I did when I was on prescription medications for my thyroid.
Can't Live Without It!
Posted by Reviewer1189262 on Dec 22, 2007
This is the only non-prescription product I have found that keeps my thyroid balanced. I am so glad I found it!!
Good formula
Posted by owlsrwise on Nov 08, 2007
It could be less expensive and they could add selenium and some other important thyroid helpers but it does help and I am starting to feel better so I think that there were things in this supplement that are necessary for a healthy thyroid. Sometimes the Synthroid alone just doesn't cut it.
Good Product
Posted by Reviewer3191602 on Mar 06, 2009
It says for weight loss but i just take it to boost my thyroid levels. I notice if i miss more than a few days. My fuel tank goes down. I take three a day for mild thyroid sluggishness.
Posted by Reviewer2088484 on Oct 19, 2007
This stuff works very well for my thyroid and weight loss in conjunction with CLA. You should try it.
Awesome Product!!
Posted by Reviewer2479607 on Dec 11, 2009
This product has profoundly improved my thyroid problems and has helped with weight loss. Ive lost 40lbs and all my "hypo" thyroid symptoms are gone. Stopped taking doctor perscribed thyroid meds that made my hair fall out and only take this product now!! Five stars!! I would reccomend this product to anyone with thyroid and weight issues!!

Snowfall continues
Many people lost control of their vehicles while driving snowy roads Friday.
New York State Police at Fredonia and the Sheridan Fire Department responded to a single vehicle accident on Center Road in the town of Arkwright around 12:30 p.m.
According to state police, Rebecca S. Brittain of Forestville was headed north on Center Road lost control of her vehicle and entered the ditch on the east side of the roadway. Her vehicle also struck a utility pole.
No injuries were reported.
According to the trooper on the scene, the road was snow covered and slippery at the time of the accident. A similar accident occurred very near the scene of Friday's accident on Wednesday when a box truck entered the ditch near Straight Road. The trooper said because of the hill there in combination with the weather conditions make the road tough to commute.
In Ripley, a Westfield woman was injured after her vehicle rolled over Friday morning.
According to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department, Govita Castro, 35, was heading West on Route 20 in Ripley around 11:40 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle, struck a guard rail and overturned.
She was transported to Westfield Hospital with head and neck injuries. Along with Sheriff deputies, the Ripley Fire Department responded to the scene.
Later Friday in the town of Hanover, unsafe speed contributed to a two car accident around 3:45 p.m.
According to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, Jennifer Lee, 21, of Angola, was traveling north on Alleghany Road near the intersection of Bradley Road when her vehicle entered the snow covered roadway and she lost control of the vehicle, which caused her to enter the opposite lane and collide with a car driven by James Reinagel, 45, of Frewsburg who was heading south.
Lee was transported to Lake Shore Hospital with minor injuries. She was given appearance tickets for unsafe speed and failure to keep right for the Hanover Town Court. Hanover Center and Silver Creek fire departments assisted at the scene.

At the Schwarzer Hahn at Hotel Deidesheimer Hof, Stefan Neugebauer dazzles with his innovative, Japanese-influenced flavours within a contemporary classic context.
Fate sometimes shows us the way to go. If it had not been for some Japanese vineyard leaseholders in Deidesheim in the Palatinate, Stefan Neugebauer would probably never have learnt so much about Japanese ingredients, which he has made the main anchor point in his most recent style of cuisine. Like Christian Bau but more classically oriented, Neugebauer seems to effortlessly integrate Japanese accents into traditional haute cuisine. From the Japanese he derives gems such as kombu seaweed, umeboshi plums and amanatsu, a Japanese citrus fruit halfway between a yuzu and a mandarin.
Umeboshi plums are used for example in his suckling pork / dashi barley / gravy juices / yuzu kosho, in which Neugebauer roasts the loin, cooks the pork belly sous-vide and marinates the leg meat with miso, then combines them with the fermented umeboshi, salty/sour/hot yuzu kosho paste, barley with red dashi (traditional Japanese fish sauce), stuffed cabbage and the meat juices, which serve as a solid foundation. Every mouthful is an exciting interaction between the various parts of the pork and the different seasonings – this is uncharted gastronomic territory. Another Neugebauer speciality is his veal heartcooked at a low temperature in ponzu sauce, which takes on an octopus-like texture and a certain piquancy, triggering a fascinating new taste sensation with the traditional bean and mint duality in combination with a sesame paste.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Living Beautifully
with Uncertainty and ChangeWe live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world.

Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics 5.1
Short Title: EMCL 5
Date: 06-Mar-2011 - 11-Mar-2011
Location: Freiburg, Germany
Contact: Monica Gonzalez-Marquez
Contact Email: mgonzale
Meeting URL:
Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Psycholinguistics
Meeting Description:
The goal of EMCL is to facilitate dialogue among language researchers with
different methodological backgrounds, i.e. theorists, experimentalists,
corpus linguists, etc. We do this by creating an environment where
specialists learn from each other by developing a research project together
where their various skills are combined.
Intended audience: Language researchers with an embodiment, situated
cognition and/or cognitive linguistics background. No prior experimental or
corpus training is required though an understanding of the theoretical
issues is necessary. Participants can be at different early stages in their
careers, i.e. graduate students, post-grads, post-docs, junior faculty, etc.
Format: During the course of a week, participants will join one of 5 hands-
on mini-labs. Each mini-lab will be responsible for completing a joint
research project. A select group of students (max. 8 per group for a total of
40) will be invited to participate. Each group will work with two researchers
who will guide the group in selecting an idea for the group to investigate,
structuring and organizing a research project, and carrying it out. The
session will end with the presentation of findings and a general discussion.
Topics to be covered include,
- Deciding on a research topic
- Transforming the research topic into a research question
- Developing experimental hypotheses and designing an experiment
- Data collection
- Statistical analysis and interpretation
- Presentation of findings to an audience

National apprenticeship award nominations named
The Institute of Swimming have made nominations in five categories for the forthcoming national apprenticeship awards, a great platform for young people, clubs and employers to gain recognition for excelling in their chosen field.
World and Commonwealth platform champion Tom Daley is nominated for the Advanced Apprentice of the Year category for his exceptional work on the AASE scheme.
Parkwood Leisure are nominated as Large Employer of the Year recognising their commitment to creating more apprenticeship opportunities for sustainable employment within the sport and active leisure industry. The organisation have so far taken on 63 aquatics apprentices during the year, including Izzy Laidler, who has been nominated as teaching Apprentice of the Year.
Richard Ward, Aquazone Swimming Co-ordinator for Parkwood at their leisure centre in Torbay, said, "Izzy has shown great enthusiasm working alongside and assisting fellow teachers during their lessons, a tough assignment in what is regarded as a very demanding teaching environment. She is a key member of our Aquazone scheme and will, I am sure, go on to great things in the future."
He added, "The IoS apprenticeship scheme is a great concept… all of my swimming teachers agree that having an apprentice in the centre on a regular basis gives them the opportunity to pass on their skills and experiences to up and coming teachers, with a view to giving pupils the best possible start to their swimming experience."
Hoping also to gain national recognition are Camden Swiss Cottage SC, who have been nominated for the Small Employer category. Their level 3 coaching apprentice Samir Ahmed has been put forward for the Advanced Apprentice coach award. Samir is very excited about the nomination as well as the rewards gained from becoming an apprentice:
"I took the fantastic offer to study on the apprenticeship instead of reading a sport science degree at University because I felt it offered more specific learning pathways to achieve my goal of excelling as a swimming coach. I see this as the first step of a continued life long journey of learning, and with myself being nominated for these awards alongside my employers we have demonstrated a true intensity to thrive in our profession."
Head Coach Dave Hobbs said, "Samir has developed so much that he can now confidently aim to become an Olympic level standard swimming coach who can help others achieve their greatest dreams and ambitions."
The finalists are expected to be announced later this month ahead of the awards event in June.

N.Y. Power Authority Board Approves Selection of Electricity Suppliers For New York City Governmental Customers
February 23, 2005
NEW YORK— The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Trustees Wednesday approved selection of electricity suppliers for serving the Authority's governmental customers in New York City and the thousands of essential facilities they operate.
The action stems from an ongoing joint planning process for the future energy needs of the governmental customers, including the City of New York, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the New York City Housing Authority.
The customers participated in the competitive review of more than 30 bids submitted in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by NYPA last June for energy supplies, beginning as early as February 1, 2008. That led to a "short list" of potential suppliers, followed by negotiations with those under final consideration.
The selected companies for meeting a portion of the RFP requirements are Entergy, Morgan Stanley Capital Group and Zilkha Renewable Energy. The agreements with the companies are being finalized, in consultation with the customers as part of the joint planning process with them.
The contract with Zilkha would provide energy from wind power. The company is proposing to build five new wind farms in Erie, Cattaraugus, and Wyoming Counties.
The Power Authority continues to work closely with the New York City governmental customers in reviewing alternatives for a requirement for in-city capacity, which can be met either by power generation within New York City or facilities connected through dedicated transmission lines from outside its borders.
NYPA is planning to issue an RFP in the next couple of weeks to explore the best options for the capacity requirement, which is intended to enhance reliability of electricity service in the city. The request will be for 500 megawatts of unforced capacity, or UCAP, to begin February 2008, for at least 10 years.

Peter Greer has spent his life doing good, from serving refugees in the Congo to leading HOPE International, a Christian-based network of microfinance institutions operating in 16 countries around the world. Yet as Greer argues in his latest book, The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good, "service and charity have a dark side."
Pointing to a study by Fuller Seminary's Dr. J. Robert Clinton, Greer notes that "only one out of three biblical leaders maintained a dynamic faith that enabled them to avoid abusing their power or doing something harmful to themselves and others." From King David's power trip with Bathsheba and Uriah to Jonah's end-of-life anger and selfishness, the Bible is filled with examples of self-destruction amid service.
"When I looked to Scripture for guidance, what I found troubled me," Greer writes. "Men and women who had heard from God—who even performed amazing miracles—were just as likely to blow it as everyone else."
And alas, in all of our discussions about how to best serve our neighbors, how often do we focus on surface-level externalities to the neglect of the human heart? How often do we narrow down our "metrics for success" to exclude any discussion or contemplation about the motivations driving our actions or the potential for pitfalls along the way? (more…)
