Since moving, I haven't been making menus like I should. I am still not in the full swing of normal yet. I don't know what I am waiting for…maybe school to start or the weather to stop being so bloomin' hot. I need a good kick in the pants, but in the mean time, I am cooking according to whims and the contents of my cupboards. So when I woke up one day and wanted oatmeal pancakes, I headed to the blog world and found a fantastic recipe on Coleen's Recipes.
They were light and fluffy and perfect. Oatmeal gives pancakes a nice chewiness. They were a hearty breakfast topped with jam or syrup.

Christ is the Light of nations. Because this is so, this Sacred
Synod gathered together in the Holy Spirit eagerly desires, by proclaiming the
Gospel to every creature, to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light
brightly visible on the countenance of the Church (Lumen gentium, 1).
But from Christ and His Church will come the final and eternal
victory in each soul of the elect of every people.… from all the points of the
earth, the Church of Jesus responds: Deo gratias, Deo gratias, as if to
say: "Yes: lumen Christi: lumen
Ecclesiae: lumen gentium."
Here, in
its essence, is the true spirit of Vatican II.[5] It is the conviction of
faith that there is one and only one Light that can dispel the darkness of sin
and thus overcome sin's consequences. The Church's vocation is to reflect this
light so that it can be seen by the nations of men. The way that she
accomplishes this, at a time when her contemporaries and even many among her
own members are unable to perceive it, is by intensifying its brightness. This
is achieved by the Church engaging in a profound renewal of herself. Through a
conversion intended to bring about an even greater and more conspicuous
conformity to Christ, the world would have placed before it an alternative
vision of human fulfillment and happiness that constitutes the answer to its
problems, perplexities, and anxieties. The mechanism of this renewal, the
method by which the Church would increase its participation in the life of
Christ, is the key to understand that the underlying issue at stake at Vatican
II was that of the efficacy of God's love.
What Difference Does Believing Make?
Before turning to consider this renewal, it should be pointed out that Pope
John was not alone in viewing the Council as the Church's response to the
problems and crisis of humanity. We can thank George Weigel for summarizing the
contribution of a young Polish bishop in his response to the worldwide survey
of bishops, directed by Pope John in 1959, as preparation for the Council.[6]
For Bishop Wojtyla, the challenge the Church faced in the Council was "to
present the sacred in such manner as seems entirely fitting to the men of
today." In other words, the Church needs to show that, how, and why Christian
doctrine is relevant to man's questions, to his search for fullness of meaning,
and to his aspirations for a better world more worthy of human dignity. This is
what would constitute the pastoral character of Vatican II.[7] Weigel
The crucial
issue of the times, he suggested, was the human person… The world wanted to
hear what the Church had to say about the human person and the human condition,
particularly in light of other proposals "scientific, positivist, dialectical"
that imagined themselves humanistic and presented themselves as roads
to liberation. At the end of 2,000 years of Christian history, the world had a
question to put to the Church: What was Christian humanism and how was it
different from the sundry other humanisms on offer in late modernity? What was
the Church's answer to modernity's widespread "despair [about] any and all
human existence"?
The crisis of humanism at the midpoint of a century that prided itself on its
humanism should be the organizing framework for the Council's deliberations,
Bishop Wojtyla proposed. The Church did not exist for itself. The Church
existed for the salvation of a world in which the promise of the world's
humanization through material means had led, time and again, to dehumanization
and degradation.
What was singular and, to use an abused term in its proper sense, prophetic
about Wojtyla's proposal was its insistence that the question of a humanism
adequate to the aspirations of the men and women of the age had to be the
epicenter of the Council's concerns. There would be much talk before, during,
and after the Council about "reading the signs of the times." Here was a
thirty-nine-year-old bishop who, having done precisely that, had put his finger
on the deepest wound of his century so that it could be healed by a more
compelling proclamation of the Gospel.[8]
It is always perfectly justifiable to distinguish between error
as such and the person who falls into erroreven in the case of men who
err regarding the truth or are led astray as a result of their inadequate
knowledge, in matters either of religion or of the highest ethical standards. A
man who has fallen into error does not cease to be a man. He never forfeits his
personal dignity; and that is something that must always be taken into account.
Besides, there exists in man's very nature an undying capacity to break through
the barriers of error and seek the road to truth. God, in His great providence,
is ever present with His aid.[9]
Let us draw light from a Gospel passage: Jesus' encounter with
the Samaritan woman (cf. John
4:5-42). There is no man or woman who, in one's life, would not find oneself
like the woman of Samaria beside a well with an empty bucket, with the hope of
finding the fulfillment of the heart's most profound desire, that which alone
could give full meaning to existence. Today, many wells offer themselves to
quench humanity's thirst, but we must discern in order to avoid polluted
waters. We must orient the search well, so as not to fall prey to
disappointment, which can be disastrous.
Like Jesus at the well of Sychar, the Church also feels obliged
to sit beside today's men and women. She wants to render the Lord present in
their lives so that they could encounter him because he alone is the water that
gives true and eternal life. Only Jesus can read the depths of our heart and
reveal the truth about ourselves: "He told me everything I have done",
the woman confesses to her fellow citizens. This word of proclamation is united
to the question that opens up to faith: "Could he possibly be the Messiah?"
It shows that whoever receives new life from encountering Jesus cannot but
proclaim truth and hope to others. The sinner who was converted becomes a
messenger of salvation and leads the whole city to Jesus. The people pass from
welcoming her testimony to personally experiencing the encounter: "We no
longer believe because of your word; for we have heard for ourselves, and we
know that this is truly the savior of the world".
We, however, should never think that the new evangelization
does not concern us personally. In these days voices among the Bishops were
raised to recall that the Church must first of all heed the Word before she
could evangelize the world. The invitation to evangelize becomes a call to
The old story of the Samaritan has been the model of the
spirituality of the council. A feeling of boundless sympathy has permeated the
whole of it. The attention of our council has been absorbed by the discovery of
human needs (and these needs grow in proportion to the greatness which the son
of the earth claims for himself).… all this rich teaching is channeled in one
direction, the service of mankind, of every condition, in every weakness and need.
The Church has, so to say, declared herself the servant of humanity, at the
very time when her teaching role and her pastoral government have, by reason of
the council's solemnity, assumed greater splendor and vigor: the idea of
service has been central.[10]
It is clear that this commitment to expressing a specific truth
in a new way demands new thinking on this truth and a new and vital
relationship with it; it is also clear that new words can only develop if they
come from an informed understanding of the truth expressed, and on the other
hand, that a reflection on faith also requires that this faith be lived. In
this regard, the program that Pope John XXIII proposed was extremely demanding.
This strong invitation to holiness could be regarded as the
most characteristic element in the whole Magisterium of the Council, and so to
say, its ultimate purpose.[13]
The Second Vatican Council has significantly spoken on the universal call to
holiness. It is possible to say that this call to holiness is precisely the
basic charge entrusted to all the sons and daughters of the Church by a Council
which intended to bring a renewal of Christian life based on the Gospel (Chrisfideles
laici, 16).
[1] "The Council understood itself as a
great examination of conscience by the Church;[1]
it wanted ultimately to be an act of penance, of conversion" (Joseph Cardinal
Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology.
San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 371-373). Thinking of the Council as an
examination of conscience originates, as far as I know, with the Lenten
Pastoral Letter of Cardinal Montini (later to be Paul VI) of February 22, 1962.
[2] The Church and Mankind. Chicago: Franciscan Herald Press, 1967, 3.
[3] Ibid., 4.
[4] In his first encyclical, Pope John
Paul II would echo this: "It was precisely this man
in all the truth of his life, in his conscience, in his continual inclination
to sin and at the same time in his continual aspiration to truth, the good, the
beautiful, justice and love that the Second Vatican Council had before its eyes
when, in outlining his situation in the modern world, it always passed from the
external elements of this situation to the truth within humanity" (Redemptor
hominis, 14). John Paul continues by
quoting from Gaudium et spes, 10: "In
man himself many elements wrestle with one another. Thus, on the one hand, as a
creature he experiences his limitations in a multitude of ways. On the other,
he feels himself to be boundless in his desires and summoned to a higher life.
Pulled by manifold attractions, he is constantly forced to choose among them
and to renounce some. Indeed, as a weak and sinful being, he often does what he
would not, and fails to do what he would. Hence he suffers from internal
divisions, and from these flow so many and such great discords in society.
[5] According to Pope John's secretary, this
radio address "stands as perhaps the most complete indication of John's
thinking on the direction the Council should take" (Capovilla, Loris,
"Reflections on the Twentieth Anniversary," in Vatican II Revisited by Those
Who Were There. Minneapolis, MN: Winston
Press, 1986, 119).

We now believe rinderpest has been eradicated from the world. When finally confirmed in 2011, rinderpest eradication will be the only disease conquered after smallpox back in the 1970s.
Rinderpest was one of the most devastating virus diseases of livestock known to man. Closely related to measles in humans, rinderpest (from the German 'cattle plague') has probably been around since before the birth of Christ and devastated European powers in the 17th century.

It's said that you can't force people to have fun, but can you help a group of people to be creative?
The answer is yes. But it depends largely on the people present and the environment they are in.
The Ideas Lab on enhancing photosynthesis, jointly organised by BBSRC and the National Science Foundation in the US, and held at the Asilomar Conference Center, California, Sept 13-17 aimed to create an environment conducive to creative, 'out of the box' thinking. The idea was to bring together a diverse group of people from different disciplinary backgrounds and to use their unique perspectives and expertise to generate novel and potentially ground-breaking ideas in a similar format to a 'sandpit'.

The Kansas Senate has defeated a bill to replace merit selection of judges on the Court of Appeals with appointment by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation.
On Thursday, the Senate voted 22-17 against the proposal after its critics denounced the specter of politicizing the judiciary. The state House had passed the proposal last year (see Gavel Grab), but it died in the Senate afterward.
This week's vote "showed Democrats and moderate Republicans still have misgivings about changing how Court of Appeals judges and state Supreme Court justices are selected, despite concerns that the process is dominated unfairly by lawyers and not open enough to the public," an Associated Press article said.
"This motion is an egregious effort to politicize judicial appointments," said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, according to a Topeka Capital-Journal article. "The judiciary as an independent and co-equal branch of government was designed to provide stability against the political winds."
"I'm willing to take a look at many of the options," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Tim Owens, a Republican. "What I'm not willing to do is to allow for something to come forward that gives one branch firm control over another branch of government."
Under current law, a nominating commission screens candidates for vacancies on the Court of Appeals and recommends three finalists to the governor. Voters later decide in up-or-down retention elections whether the judge can stay on the bench. Kansas' system is similar to merit selection systems in other states yet it alone has lawyers picked exclusively by other lawyers comprising a majority — five of nine members — of the screening commission.
Supporters of the legislation contend it would give officials who pick judges more accountability to voters.
Kansas for Life, an anti-abortion organization, framed the Senate vote as a decision with implications for rulings on abortion law. Critics of merit selection for choosing both Court of Appeals and state Supreme Court judges started their effort with the the Court of Appeals.
The process for naming judges to the Court of Appeals is laid out in state law and can be changed if a majority of lawmakers support it. Selection of Supreme Court justices is dictated by the state constitution. Amending it requires two-thirds majorities in each chamber followed by a statewide vote.
According to the AP, governors who were abortion-rights Democrats appointed five of the seven justices and nine of the 13 Court of Appeals judges.

West Brom defender Billy Jones is tipping winger Scott Sinclair to make a big impact at The Hawthorns.
The Manchester City winger has joined the Baggies on a season-long loan in the hope of reigniting his career after a nondescript first year at the Etihad Stadium.
The 24-year-old started just three games for City last season after moving from Swansea in a £6.2million deal, but right-back Jones believes he will be a big asset to Albion.
Jones said: "He is very direct, he can go by a man very easily, he has got pace.
"He is quick, direct, what full-backs don't want to play against.
"Typical wingers get at you every chance they can and be positive and that is what he is.
"He can obviously score a goal and create a goal as well, so I am obviously looking forward to seeing how he slots in and what he does."
Sinclair was an unused substitute in West Brom's goalless draw at Everton in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday, but is expected to make his debut as Newport visit in the Capital One Cup tonight.
Fellow new signings Matej Vydra and Diego Lugano could also see plenty of action as manager Steve Clarke considers changes for the second-round tie against the Football League newcomers.
Jones said: "Scott has looked sharp and hungry, which is what you expect. But it is not just Scott, all the lads we have brought in have.
"They are all desperate to play and prove themselves."
West Brom's point at Goodison Park was their first of the season after defeat to Southampton in the opening game.
Jones, 26, was encouraged by the result and feels the team now have a platform on which to build.
He said: "We were solid and got the clean sheet.
"Maybe the final pass just let us down at times, but we're only two games in and that will come."
Clarke will have to make a change in goal after Ben Foster suffered an ankle injury in the latter stages at Everton.
Boaz Myhill is hoping to overcome a wrist injury to take his place but third-choice Luke Daniels, who came on for Foster at Goodison, could again be involved.
Jones, who has a chance to cement his position at right-back after a knock to Steven Reid, is keen to excel in the competition.
He said: "I am desperate for a good cup run. There are players in the dressing room who have won the cup and say how great it is.
"We want that as a group so we will go out with a team to win."

I bought this very colorful dress in bright green, neon orange and black for last year's cruise and wanted to wear it again this year. I have lost 60 lbs since then so it is sort of roomy even for a very large lady like myself. I decided a belt would be the ticket but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I decided just to make my own so I went through this great sock book I have that has 4,5 or 6 stitch patterns. I picked out the 4 stitch corded rib and away I went. I am getting "d" rings tomorrow and will finish it up as soon as it dries blocking. The yarn is a cotton yarn in my stash that I had from making my hubby a hat in Boise State colors. I plan on picking another stitch pattern and making one in black before we leave on the cruise in less than a month.
That looks pretty and what a great idea!
Very pretty. Your creative solution is the best! I your ingenuity.
That's a pretty stitch pattern nonny, congratulations on the beautiful new belt and your new svelt figure! :muah:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: well not svelt, but feeling a bit better. Part of it is a medication I am on designed to increase the appetite for cancer patients. That is not what I use it for, but I have to be diligent or the weight will come back on. I want to continue going down not up!!! Thanks for the nice comment though.
That's a beautiful bright orange colour - I can imagine it will look amazing on a green dress. The pattern of the belt looks very nice - I tried to name the stitches but it is really (to me) an unique combination . Some cable and some lace stitches, I guess?
What I'm wondering: it is quite long, how are you going to wear it? Will you add a belt fastener of some sort? Or will you just tie it around your waist, maybe with a bow I wonder, because I'm pondering about making a knitted belt myself and am not sure how to tackle that part... For fasteners are often made of metal and that makes it so heavy - distorts the belt a bit too as the knitting isn't that strong. Any ideas?
Nonny, I love it! The color will go well with your dress and the belt is a good soluton for adding some shape and interest. Congrats on the weight loss. That's such a good direction to be going in. Good for you.
I'm celebrating that you're feeling better! :balloons:
Nice solution! Congrats on your weight loss!
Great idea! And congrats on your new bod! That will feel so good when you're on your trip!

Write Your Novel Now is a complete writing course in weekly lessons from me Jerry Cleaver author of the international best seller Immediate Fiction (St. Martin's Press) and founder and leader of Chicago's legendary Writers' Loft workshop.
The one-of-a-kind lessons and exercises in Write Your Novel Now are designed to:
Get you started
Keep you going
Turn you into a publishable writer
Try the first lesson free ... or read on for more information.
You want to write but you have no time.
When you do find time, you just can't drag yourself to the desk.
If you do get going, your writing starts strong, but becomes such a mess you don't know whether to keep working or dump it all and start something new.
You write lots of bits and pieces, but none of them fit together into a meaningful whole.
You have training (workshops, college courses, or even a degree in creative writing) but little or nothing you write gets published.
You haven't taken a class because you're not sure where to turn or what to do first. One thing you do know is you want to get the right start so you don't waste a lot of time working on things that don't matter.
Any of this sound familiar? Then you need the kind of professional guidance I can give you, to solve these and any other writing problems.
The Write Your Novel Now lessons and exercises are carefully sequenced for your success. From the very start you'll hit the page running, and make steady progress toward your goal: not just writing your novel or screenplay or stage play or memoir or short stories but writing well enough to get published.
Sounds great, right? But why should you believe me? There are so many people teaching writing in so many different ways why should you believe anyone? How can you tell who's right and who's wrong? And, how can you tell before it's too late before you've wasted years or even a lifetime writing and never publishing a word?
Here are some things that might help you make up your mind about me and my course:
"Without Jerry's course, I never would have written my play, and nobody would have produced it."
Joshua Landsman, Frank Talk About Matters Big and Small (Organic Theater)
My students are successful. They publish. Not self-publish they are published by major presses. 39 novels and 5 non-fiction books so far!
I have over 20 years experience and real credentials. I wrote the international bestseller Immediate Fiction (St. Martin's Press), founded Chicago's legendary The Writers' Loft workshop, and have taught fiction at Northwestern University and in China.
What I tell you should work for you. By "work" I mean it must make your writing not only better but easier and more enjoyable. That is the test, always. Once you learn you'll find it's much easier to write a good story than a poor story easier, more enjoyable and more exciting.
Take the first lesson free right now you don't have to sign up for anything and see if you like it.
Try the first lesson already! It's free!
No. That's not how this course works. Through the lessons and exercises you internalize all the tools you need to write successfully on your own. As you write you'll know what works, what doesn't, and why, without relying on someone to point it out to you afterwards. You see it on the page. You feel it. You make it happen. The only editors you'll need are yourself and the one who pays you.
I know that's not the traditional way to teach writing, which is based on a feedback loop. All I can say is my way works. My students get published. Success. The ultimate proof.
But maybe you don't think it will work for you. Maybe you think you "need" feedback. All I can say to that is try it. Try the first lesson free right now. You've got nothing to lose... and everything, as a writer, to gain.

Me in ChinaMy book, Immediate Fiction, is the bestselling writing book in China. Here's the banner they used on my book tour to Beijing and Shanghai where I gave student seminars at the five major universities, plus special professional writer and writing professor conferences and writing teacher workshops.
Story Craft and Technique: Plot, character, dramatic momentum. The source of all drama. The few dramatic forces that will turn any idea into a compelling story.
The Creative Process: Overcoming doubt, fear, and panic. Techniques to overcome resistance, stop fighting yourself, and get the flow going the moment you sit down.
Self-Coaching and Self-Editing: Learn to stop torturing yourself when it doesn't come out the way you wanted. Learn to trust your own emotional radar to find that dramatic potential that's always in your work and learn how to use it to bring your story to life on the page every time.
Rewriting Techniques: Turning drudgery into excitement and inspiration. Rewriting is the best part. Once you know how, rewriting becomes re-exciting.
The Essence of Character: What's needed to bring characters to life in all their depth and complexity. How to make the deepest, most personal connection to your characters.
Short Story to Novel, Screenplay, or Stage Play: How to turn any short story or story idea into the longer form without stressing, straining, or padding. Plus the easiest (and hardest) kind of novel to write and the easiest (and hardest) kind of novel to sell. What makes literature literature (exactly what it takes to write literary fiction.) How to write a bestseller. And how to write down-and-dirty, commercial fiction with the least pain and most pleasure in the least amount of time if that's your goal.
Universal Plot Forms: Aristotle, quoted in nearly every writing book and by every writing teacher, said there were six fundamental plots. Learn what even Aristotle didn't know but Shakespeare did and so did Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald and many, many others. Learn how simple and easy it is to create compelling plots.
Originality: What is it? Do you have it? (In a word: Yes. It's already there inside you. All you need are the tools to uncover it.) You're full of original ideas. You'll see how originality, this often intimidating concern, is easily achieved when you learn how to unlock your imagination and turn it loose on the page.
Work Methods: How to approach your story idea. (Should you outline, know the end first, write straight through before revising, have a plan, just jump in and go, write from a premise, have a theme in mind, etc). What you need to know before you start and what you don't.
Managing Time: Where to find it (yes, it's there) and how to use it. Learn how you can write the first draft of a novel in just minutes a day in one year, regardless of your busy schedule and have fun doing it.
Point of View: The ins and outs of this often confused and poorly explained story dimension made simple.
Dead Weight: Learn the things that sound good but only serve to confuse, impede, or even disable you. Advice and misconceptions that many writers hold dear and struggle against that you need to be aware of and ignore.
That's the most important thing to keep in mind. Storytelling is an acquired skill and not an inborn talent. You don't have to be brilliant or write a brilliant story. You just have to master enough craft to tell a good enough story. Plenty of writers of average intelligence are making lots of money writing mediocre stories. Look around. They're not hard to find.
Unlike the other arts (music, painting, dance, etc.) where you must have an inborn ability, to be a successful storyteller, you have what you need already. You don't have to know how to play the piano or paint a portrait to get along in the world, but you'd better understand yourself, how people work, how the world works if you're going to make it in this life. In fact, if you've survived this long, you have at least 10 novels in you. You have a full set of emotions and plenty of dramatic, painful, and exciting experience to draw on. That doesn't mean you have to write about yourself. Even if you're creating Martians, it all comes from your imagination. They're your Martians and your Martians are unlike all others.
You have what you need already, but you must learn how to use it. That means developing the skills to get in touch with your imagination and to bring it to life on the page.
All you need is the desire. Write Your Novel Now gives you everything else. Try the first lesson now!

Well furry friends, it's been quite a long time since I have made a journal entry. I have been quite happy with my family and they spoil me rotten! They have taken me a lot of places since I adopted them and I have never been kenneled. They seem to go places that I can go. It's amazing. I like San Francisco and Capitola Ca., but found Carmel and Balboa Island the most fun. I travel quite well and love to see new and exciting places. My human brother and sister play with me a lot and I walk them to school quite a lot. I even go to all their events at school. A lot of the kids know and love me and I am quite happy to let them pet me. I seem to bark a lot at males. Haven't quite figured out why but maybe it is the deep voices. All 4 now. I miss my mom as she is on vacation without me. She is dog sitting one of best friends, a border collie named Zoey that is about a year old now. I am going to visit next weekend and taking her back home with me.... I hope all of you are well fed and loved like I am.
Since I just joined today, I was scrolling thru the dogster.com website and noticed some wonderful and very inventive pictures. I think after I take my eat, scratch myself and take a nap, I will ask my family to take some really good pics this time. I find that I am photogenic but a lot of my pics were taken with a camera phone that unfortunately doesn't work as well as they should. Hard to get the lighting right and I do move quite a lot.
Well I am off to dreamland. Goodnight all and I hope everybody out there dreams of cats, steak bones and chew toys!
I am so happy that my family found this website. I live in a neighborhood that really doesn't have any dogs my age. Well, there are a few and one is a a pug named Pamela but she doesn't like me much. She is way older than me and very territorial. She is a big pug, you know, the standard size ones? Although my family tells me there really isn't a toy pug I am quite small and dainty. I weigh only 11.9 lbs. My father is 13 lbs. and my mother is only 15 lbs. All three of us were the runts of our litters!
Well I just wanted to write a little something to show everybody out there that I am happy here and look forward to getting to know as many of you as possible. Even though I am a pug I am not just interested in other pugs but in all kinds of dogs. Thanks for reading this and for being my pup pals!

Chink in the Evangelical wall: Sex trafficking, colonialism and Christian ethics
Posted By laura agustin On 31 January 2013 @ 10:05 In colonialism,trafficking | 13 Comments
[1]In Are Evangelicals Monopolizing, Misleading US Anti-Trafficking Efforts? [2] Yvonne Zimmerman, author of Other Dreams of Freedom: Religion, Sex, and Human Trafficking, is asked if US anti-trafficking crusades could be called colonialist. She replies, 'It's an argument waiting to be made'. Since I've been making it for ten years, I had to write to her. It's certainly true that the critique of colonialism is not often heard, despite the term Rescue Industry [3]'s spread.
Evangelical bloggers did not like hearing the word. John Mark Reynolds reacted scathingly in Surprise! Evangelical Efforts Against Sex-Trafficking are 'Colonialist'! [4] followed by Derek Rishmawy in Sex-Trafficking, Evangelical 'Colonialism' and the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit [5]. He gets prize for the most ignorant sarcastic crack: If that's 'colonialism', then it's the holy colonialism of God at work through his people. Welcome to the White Man's Burden, shamelessly justified all over again, where the idea of colonialism is treated like a joke – or 'joke'.
[6]To make things worse, Reynolds used a flagrantly racist image to bias his own piece, showing a dark-skinned and/or dirty man handling an innocent white child. The shot is one of several someone created for campaigning purposes – whether they understood the inherent racism I don't know.
I asked Yvonne to tell me what Other Dreams of Freedom [7] is about and why she wrote it.
It is very popular for American Christians to be involved in anti-trafficking activism. Although some American Christians are interested in a broad understanding of trafficking that includes exploitative labor, usually they mean sex trafficking. And usually by sex trafficking they mean commercial sex – any exchange of sex or sexual services for money. They think that if people no longer sell sexual services they will be free from trafficking, so they favor programs that 'fight trafficking' by trying to get people to leave the sex industry. Means to this end vary from educational scholarships to job-training programs to brothel raids. In terms of law and policy, many American Christians support the abolitionist agenda to criminalize all sex-money exchanges.
I am a scholar of religious studies and ethics. I wrote Other Dreams of Freedom to examine why this anti-trafficking perspective feels so appealing and 'right' to many American Christians. When I was doing the research between 2005 and 2008, George W. Bush was president and his administration was constructing an international anti-trafficking agenda, often referring to God, God's intent for human life and Good and Evil. I focused on anti-trafficking legislation (TVPA), the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, the annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, public policy statements and press releases. These were not trying to be religious, but I saw how they expressed a very particular religious and moral sensibility.
But Other Dreams of Freedom is about more than Bush. The understanding of human trafficking that his administration endorsed is wildly popular in the US; Americans who identify with a wide variety of other religious traditions defend this view. My book shows how Christian theology rooted in Reformed Protestantism infuses and shapes much American culture and moral sensibility, including the connections between sex, freedom and morality. My analysis of the theological sources clarifies why Americans are so quick to see commercial sex to be inherently degrading and immoral. The book discusses the unintended consequences of using a single religious perspective to build foreign policy in a multi-religious world.
Morgan Guyton at Mercy not Sacrifice [8] also wrote about the original interview, and Yvonne left a comment that mentioned me, so I left something, too [9]. Guyton replied:
What I have carried with me from my first job at a little NGO in DC called the Nicaragua Network is that any kind of real support we offer to people in disadvantaged situations anywhere must always have its terms dictated to us by the people we're supposedly helping. We called it the solidarity model. In Christianese, I would call it 'servanthood' rather than 'service'. It' s great that young evangelicals are interested in social justice, but it seems like the way it's often packaged makes it more like a form of tourism than anything else. I'm interested in reading more.
Yvonne Zimmerman is Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics at Methodist Theological School in Ohio.
Note that Christian Evangelism exists outside the US and behaves similarly when it comes to trafficking: here is a recent note about CARE in the UK [10].

THE COMMUTE: Last winter, thousands of people waited three hours for New Jersey Transit trains at the Meadowlands to go home from the Super Bowl. That was mentioned last February in our discussion about how transit riders continually get screwed. Now, history has repeated itself at the Belmont Stakes: a three- to four-hour wait just to get out of the Belmont Racetrack parking lot or onto a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train. The New York Times reported on the transit aspect.
Everyone expects delays when large numbers of people have to be moved from a confined area. Taking 30 to 45 minutes or even an hour to get out of the parking lot is to be expected as is having to miss several trains. However, a three and a half-hour wait for a train is unacceptable. So why should this happen?
Poor planning and the lack of caring by those responsible is the answer. The MTA isn't the only one at fault. Belmont Racetrack is mostly to blame. Transit riders always get screwed. However, in this case, the same was true for motorists as well. So what happened, why, and how could the situation have been made better? Also, why does it not always happen at large events? The LIRR provided 18 extra trains to take riders to the track. But these riders also had to go home, all leaving within about 90 minutes. The excuse provided by the railroad was that they planned for 20,000 additional riders when 36,000 actually showed up and they scrambled to find extra trains after the race.
This was no ordinary Belmont Stakes, but a race for the Triple Crown, which attracted record crowds under excellent weather conditions. Didn't anyone realize that? Also, is 36,000 such a large, unmanageable number for mass transit commuters when about that number of people leave baseball games without major problems? Well, there are some crucial differences.
Commuter trains are not designed to handle such large crowds boarding at the same time. Unlike subway cars, which have three or four doors per car, commuter trains only have doors at the ends of the cars (usually two). Longer loading times limit the number of trains that a single platform could serve each hour, so without building additional platforms — which, of course, is not feasible for an event occurring once a year — capacity is constrained even if trains constantly left the station one after another.
So what else could the LIRR have done? Not much except operating as many buses as possible from the track to Jamaica and Flushing where commuters could have caught the subway as well as the LIRR. However, where would the buses come from? They would have to have made prior arrangements with New York City Transit, the MTA Bus Company, both operating under the same parent agency, or the Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) buses and reimbursing them for the expense. Still, it would have made a minimal amount of difference reducing the wait by a half hour perhaps. The LIRR stated that if the trains ran like clockwork, which they obviously did not, another 30 minutes or so could have been saved. So those measures together could have reduced the delay by about a third — not insignificant, but still far from acceptable. Poor LIRR communication and inexperienced riders were also cited as problems.
What Else Could Have Been Done?
Clearly, the MTA by itself could not have done much more especially if trains were arriving and leaving as fast as the platforms could load the passengers. However, Belmont Park could have helped somewhat. The Belmont Stakes was the 11th out of 13 races held that day. If it had been moved up to be the ninth race instead, held two hours earlier, that would have staggered out the exiting crowds over a three-hour period instead of 90 minutes.
Clearly, Belmont had little regard for its 100,000 patrons. This was evidenced by the fact that few if any personnel or police were on duty to direct traffic out of the parking lots, causing traffic chaos according to some accounts on Twitter. Also, there were no lights in the parking lots, making it difficult to find your car, with some searching two hours in order to locate their automobile.
Some History
Although, the MTA does a competent job handling large crowds at Yankee Stadium and at Citi Field by providing extra trains, their record for handling large crowds was not always stellar. Prior to regularly measuring bus patronage through what they call "traffic checks," begun in 1984 by then New York City Transit Authority head David Gunn, the MTA had no handle at all regarding non-rush hour bus usage. Schools and beaches were grossly underserved. Schools were only provided with two extra buses each at arrival and dismissal times. Regular buses were so overloaded that, what I frequently complain about, buses not stopping in Manhattan Beach due to the Kingsborough Community College traffic, was the case all over the city.
The same was true with providing enough service to beaches on hot summer weekends. There was never enough. The excuses were either a shortage of buses or a shortage of operators. I remember in the 1960s when, on a nice beach day, buses were so filled with beachgoers that other riders were forced to wait hours for a bus. The B49 and B68 buses would only stop to let riders off, and that was your only chance to get on. Waiting passengers at other stops were just out of luck. The B49 buses would usually only stop at transfer points between Farragut Road and Emmons Avenue on a hot summer weekend.
When I was in NYCT Operations Planning in 1982, I had a half dozen employees assist me, performing beach counts on those routes to document what I had been witnessing for 15 years. However, making schedule changes were not easy since the scheduling function was not part of Operations Planning back then. In 1981, on a hot night in August, about 500 beachgoers were stranded overnight in Orchard Beach in The Bronx and Riis Park in Gateway National Recreation Area because there were not enough buses to take everyone home before service ceased operation for the night.
Fewer people go to the beach today than in years past and there are more buses to serve them. Also, many schools now get 20 extra buses to handle the crowds when they used to get only two. The MTA routinely handles large crowds much better than it used to. However, unusual events, such as what happened at Belmont, still pose problems. A concerted effort on the part of Belmont Racetrack and the MTA could have resulted in lessening those problems. The MTA by itself could not have improved the situation very much.
All this leads to another interesting question: Given what happened at the Super Bowl and at Belmont, why did New York City believe that it was capable of handling a 2012 Olympics? And could this region handle the Olympics in the future? One thing is clear: California Chrome was not the only loser at the Belmont Stakes. Everyone who attended, whether you took the LIRR or drove, got screwed when it came to getting out of the park.

As well as two counts of alleged rape on Sunday morning, the accused faces charges of escaping from lawful custody and an additional charge of burglary.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Newport Crown Court on 14 February.
Avon and Somerset police spokesman Wayne Baker said: "We've undertaken a full review of all of the circumstances surrounding this case and we've also voluntarily referred the matter to the IPCC."

A research team at Swarthmore College discovered a previously unknown companion to the bright star, beta Crucis, in the Southern Cross. As a prominent member of the well-known constellation Crux, or the Southern Cross, it appears on five national flags: Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Samoa. The discovery was announced at the American Astronomical Society meeting held in Seattle January 5-10.
The companion star was discovered accidentally while the research team was using the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory to study the x-rays emitted by beta Crucis itself. "We were interested in how the highly supersonic stellar winds of hot, luminous stars produce x-rays," says team leader David Cohen, asssociate professor of astronomy. "We were surprised to see two strong x-ray sources where we had expected to see only one."
Astrophysics major Michael Kuhn '07 of Charlottesville, Va., presented the findings in Seattle. His work analyzing the x-ray data from both beta Crucis and its newly-discovered companion is the basis in a forthcoming paper on this project for the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Cohen' s research team also includes Swarthmore College Associate Professor of Astronomy Eric Jensen and Marc Gagné, assistant professor in the geology and astronomy department at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Their project was funded by NASA and by a Eugene M. Lang Summer Research Fellowship from Swarthmore.
Located near Philadelphia, Swarthmore is a highly selective liberal arts college whose mission combines academic rigor with social responsibility. Swarthmore, with an enrollment of 1,450, is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the country.

Parts store spark plug thread repair failed!January 12, 2017 Ford Problems No Comments
The most common problem we help people deal with is related to parts store thread repair kits that have failed. Once this happens the owner or shop sometimes tries unsuccessfully to re-install another of the same type inserts. When a parts store insert fails it makes the hole bigger, which prevents the same size insert from being able to help matters. Other times, some shops will say (mistakenly) that the cylinder head has to be replaced! If you have a similar situation, we can most likely recommend to you or your repair shop a professional, permanent type repair that will save the head and save a lot of money. No time to read?

The final warm up match for the Black Caps against the England Lions has ended in a draw in Leicester.
Another dreary day of just 33 overs, which ensured New Zealand gained little from the test dress rehearsal.
New Zealand didn't get a second chance to bat as the hosts ended the match on 444/7.
There was time for Trent Boult (3-86) and Doug Bracewell (2-95) to confirm their form for the first test at Lord's, but also for Joe Root (179) and Jonny Bairstow (68) to imprint on their memories some powerful, well constructed strokes, before both fell to the seamers.
Root was eventually bowled by Bracewell while Bairstow fell LBW to Boult.
But that was the sum total of major success, as the Lions established an ultimately pointless advantage.
While the seamers hit the right notes, both Bruce Martin and Kane Williamson struggled to get on song.

Most vendors want a channel partner on every corner just in case there's a nearby customer with a need. But not Apptio.
Instead of thousands or even hundreds of partners, the Bellevue, Wash., startup that has become a darling of the Fortune 500 by helping them better manage their technology assets, wants only a few dozen partners. But the ones it wants need to be big, capable and committed. Among other things, they must be able to help big enterprises manage the systems, software and services they leverage through the cloud.
The solutions that Apptio provides are part of a growing portfolio of capabilities that belong to a new category of software called Technology Business Management (TBM). It's actually a category that Apptio named, but others are falling into line. Big companies including Boeing, Target, Xerox, Safeway and Royal Bank of Scotland are huge fans.
The job for managing the company's partnerships falls to Michelle Hodges, Apptio's newly named vice president of global channels and alliances. For nearly two decades, Hodges has worked with leading companies on designing, building and managing partnerships and alliances. She's worked for Microsoft, SAP and VMware.
In an interview with Channel Partners, Hodges explained the unique mission she is on at Apptio, one of the hottest companies in all of cloud computing.
Channel Partners: What was it about this opportunity that attracted you to the company?
Hodges: I've really had a jungle-gym approach to my career leading up to running all routes to market globally for a big vendor. This is certainly part of that. [The opportunity] here is taking a company with a market of $100 million onwards to $1 billion. It was a good fit from that aspect. And from my experience at VMware, I repeatedly competed against Apptio and lost quite often [laughs]. I saw a company that understood its space and saw the market in a different way than big vendors. What the "cloud" has done to the ecosystem for a channel geek like myself, is just fascinating. For a company like Apptio, which understands that deep in its blood, to be a part of this change, is pretty interesting.
CP: What do you mean by "what the cloud has done to the ecosystem"? Finish that thought and articulate a bit more what you mean ...

DePaul at Pitt, Petersen Events Center, Feb. 21, 2009
Quoting Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon
Opening Statement:
"We did just want we thought we were going to do tonight and hurt them inside. I thought Levance did an excellent job of preparing the guys for tonight with his leadership and focus. He just carried it all onto the floor. He didn't care about his own statistics, he was looking for other guys and I think that's underappreciated. Levance has done a great job not only as a point guard, but as a coach and leader. Everyone got minutes tonight. DeJuan Blair, Sam Young, and Tyrell Biggs all had big games on limited minutes."
On Pitt's assists:
"Passing is one of our biggest strengths. It leads to other things. When a player passes, they see the floor, they're unselfish and they continue to be unselfish. It's a gift. We can't teach a player how to feel for it."
On the play of Tyrell Biggs:
"I thought in the second half Tyrell Biggs got some good rebounding points. He was putting up the short shots and getting some putbacks, the three pointers will come. We'd like to see him get more offensive rebounds and finishing on some of those inside shots. That will make him a better player and us a better team."
On DePaul:
"I feel for DePaul's team. They have a rough situation, losing a guy to injury and having a player leave early, those are some things you don't count on happening. They don't have a senior class and they're playing a young group. I think Jerry's a great coach and he's definitely well-respected around the league."
On the play of Gary McGhee:
"Gary gave us some good minutes and I thought that was better than anything we did today. He had 13 minutes and six rebounds. Between him and DeJuan Blair they had 24 rebounds. Gary did a good job rebounding and playing defense. He continues to get better every day and he works hard. I thought it was good for his teammates to see him to go out there and have success."
Quoting Pitt's DeJuan Blair
On his performance:
"I was aware of my numbers at halftime. I thought it was pretty good, but it's great that everyone got to play."
On rebounding:
"I just go out and snatch the ball. The first rebound I had, the other player moved his hand out from under mine fast after I got it. I just laughed. It wasn't like I was going to flip him over into the zoo. I just go out there and try to get every rebound for my team. I call the ball the money. If I go out and get the money, we're going to win. Rebounding the ball is how you get points."
On the play of Tyrell Biggs:
"Tyrell had a breakout game. I knew it was coming. He just let the game come to him. In the second half he was making shots and he was rebounding. I knew he was going to come around. He's in the gym before and after practice working on his shot. I know when it comes to game time that he's going to show up. Before each game I tell him that we have the best frontcourt in the country and that we should play like it. When we're playing like this, it's hard to stop us."
On Pitt's Confidence:
"Anytime you beat the No. 1 team in the country at their place, you're going to have confidence. We treat every game as if it were our last. We play hard as a team and we're all confident. That's how we win. "
Quoting Pitt's Tyrell Biggs
On Pitt's energy:
"Coach talked to us about coming out with a lot of energy. Last game we didn't come out with a lot of it and tonight we were able to get it going."
On Pitt's passing:
"Levance Fields is distributing the ball and Jermaine is making his outside shots, but when we're moving the ball like how we are, it's hard to stop us. Tonight was our way of showing how unselfish we are as a team."
Quoting DePaul Head Coach Jerry Wainwright
On the matchup:
"We won the opportunity to play Pitt twice this year. And it always looks good in the beginning but it's difficult to swallow. We have a lot of young guys bouncing around here. They don't have older guys to look over them and correct their mistakes. We're just too young."
On the play of Pitt's DeJuan Blair and Levance Fields:
"DeJuan is a special kid. He has a great feel for playing and we just got beat up inside. Levance Fields has a great personality and always comes ready to play."
On Pitt:
"Pitt is very efficient in what they do; they are always a hard match. This game was dictated in the glass. You can have your confidence destroyed there but I don't think that's happened to any of our players. These kids face the relentless pressure this league brings. Every time they play they are fighting for their lives."

Things are looking as if 2 factor authentication is nearing the end of its usefulness in on-line banking. The fight continues to stay one step of the criminals.
By Priya Anand, MarketWatch July 22, 2014
"The attack can get past two-factor authentication, which requires customers to type in a code sent to their cellphone or inbox to ensure the user is who he or she claims to be, by convincing customers to download a malicious smartphone app, according to a report released Tuesday by the security firm Trend Micro. The researchers dubbed the technique "Emmental" — like the Swiss cheese — because they say it shows the security flaws in online banking. So far, funds "in the seven figures" have been taken from bank accounts, according to Trend Micro spokesman Thomas Moore"
Comment:Once again cybercriminals have cercumvent SMS-based two-factor authentication. Using a combinatioin of malware techniques.
SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) mechanisms used by banks to secure their customers' accounts have been bypassed by cybercriminals using a combination of malware, mobile apps, rogue DNS servers, and phishing sites, according to a report published by Trend Micro on Tuesday.
The security firm has been monitoring a campaign which it has dubbed "Operation Emmental," because similar to the Swiss Emmental cheese, the security systems used by financial institutions can be full of holes. The individuals behind this operation have been trying to gain access to the accounts of users in Switzerland, Austria, Japan and Sweden by obtaining the security tokens sent by banks to customers' mobile devices via SMS.

I'm speechless at this one - that is some involved hackery.
Hi Nic, am not surprised as there has been a lot in the press recently that 2LA is about dead and that 3LA is the way forward...what makes me laugh is I can see someone having a similar conversation in 2 or 3 years re. the fact that by then 3LA will be on its last legs and everyone will be advocating 4LA...it is a bit like multi bladed razors, first it was 2 blades, then 3 blades...some where brave and went to 4 baldes but we seem to have settled on 5 blades...or have they...
or have they? Now extrapolate that to security authentification...LOL

Not so fast... or shoud I say, not so 2FaaS. 2-Factor is still king here if used with the right form of authentication... such as Device Fingerprinting http://www.secureauth.com/wp-content/files_mf/2faa
Device Fingerprint Authentication is a low-friction solution with heuristics built in, which makes it the fast, silent, and very secure.

sdevice.pdf A device print authentication does not require the end user to download an app to ones computer, or mobile device. In fact, a small company or enterprise can and should write a policy that no one should download any such security app to ones phone to prevent a mess such as this one.

An update which goes into a little bit more detail.
by paganinip on July 23rd, 2014
"The malicious campaigns start with a fake email that pretend to be sent by a legitimate and well known entity, the cyber criminals serve the malware attached to the email as an apparently harmful Control Panel (.cpl) file that's inoculate the malicious code through a bogus Windows update tool.
Once it infected the machine, the malware redirects victims to domains, controlled by attackers, by changing the device's Domain Name System (DNS) settings, in this way every bank customers try to access visit bank websites, they are redirected to a phishing page. The experts have discovered that at least 34 financial institutions were targeted by attackers, six of which are in Austria, five in Japan, 16 in Switzerland, and seven in Sweden."
Agreed two-factor authentication is a solid security practice, but the techniques vary quite a bit. The OTP exploited by Emmental is obviously flawed because the hackers have redirected the OTP to themselves. I'm not quite sure the machine ID is a total answer, the end user still has the same mobile device. An interactive second factor to authenticate the actual person like a voice biometric or fingerprint would have stopped some of the Emmental account hijacks. A phone call over the voice channel of the mobile phone repeating the actual transaction details, like "To send $5,000 to an account ending in Ivan666 do this… to cancel do that" would catch the end users attention if they were sending $50 to the electric company.

Counties coach Tana Umaga is annoyed at the Crusaders for not acting on Jimmy Tupou's wrist injury, a problem likely to rule the loose forward out of the game for the rest of the year, however it appears it may not be the franchise's fault.
Tupou, who turned 21 last week, played a back-up role for the Crusaders this year, his first in Super rugby, but returned to ITM Cup duty with a fractured scaphoid bone.
"We relied on Jimmy due to the fact that we knew that he wasn't getting much game time and we counted on him being available for us from the start," Umaga said.
"He's pretty dejected about not being able to contribute on the field ... sometimes we have to look at how we're looking after our players. He's had that sore wrist for a while but he never had an x-ray down there [Christchurch] so it is an issue."
However, Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said Deb Robinson, the team's doctor who joined the franchise from the All Blacks, twice presented Tupou with x-ray forms when the player complained of soreness late in the season. Blackadder said Tupou failed to use them, adding that Crusaders physio John Roche then contacted Counties to inform the province of the situation.
Umaga's frustration probably stems from the fact that several of his top players have already been ruled out ahead of his team's first season in the Premiership after their promotion last year. They open their season on Thursday night with a match at Pukekohe against Wellington without hooker Mahonri Schwalger, who recently had knee surgery, and halfback Augustine Pulu and utility back Tim Nanai-Williams, who also need surgery on leg injuries.
Tupou, a former member of New Zealand's Under-20 squad, is a player with plenty of promise. At 1.96m tall, he can play blindside flanker, No8 or lock.
Blackadder said: "I can understand Tana's frustration there. A player like Jimmy would have been a key figure for Counties this season. It is just unfortunate that it turned out like it did."
Umaga said: "We've had our injury issues even before the season has started which is not helpful but I know we're not the only province to have that ... it just gives guys the opportunity and tests our depth which we've been working on for the last couple of years."
Compounding Umaga's problems is the fact that Wellington will include a forward pack containing an excellent tight five and a loose trio of Ardie Savea, Brad Shields and recently rejected All Black Victor Vito.
"It's not going to be easy for us, but we always knew it wouldn't be easy," said Umaga. "We love the challenge of trying to play against the bigger unions.
"Our guys have aspirations as well. If they're playing against All Blacks and future All Blacks it's the opportunity to play against the best of the best and that's what is so good about this competition."

Jan Brewer, Arizona Secretary of State
Learn about Jan Brewer, Secretary of State for Arizona and possibly its next Governor.
If Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano is, in fact, appointed to the Obama cabinet, her current job would be filled by Jan Brewer, the secretary of state. Arizona doesn't have a lieutenant governor.
Brewer, 64, is a Republican first elected in 2002, after having served in both chambers of the state legislature and as a Maricopa County supervisor. The GOP currently controls the legislature and so the party would have free rein to shape next year's budget, which looks to be a mess.
AP reports, ungrammatically, "Brewer had already been regarded as a likely Republican candidate for governor in 2010, when term limits would bar both she and Napolitano from running for re-election to their current posts."
An Arizona source tells National Review Online :
We will now have a Republican governor because the Secretary of State is Jan Brewer. Since we control both of the houses of the legislature, a lot of bills that were vetoed by Napolitino will probably pass. Personally I can't imagine the Dems giving up a governor's mansion.
The Democrats have lost their best candidate in Arizona. Napolitano was a canny politician who knew how to outflank the GOP. I think going to Washington and taking up Homeland security will not be a boon to her future political career. Several Republicans were lining up to run for governor in 2010. With Jan Brewer as an incumbent, they may modify their plans.
A quick look on Nexis suggests that Brewer has drawn what have become standard complaints for secretaries of state that she was partisan when it came to vote-counting controversies. But the Arizona Republic endorsed her 2006 reelection bid, saying she had run the department well, updating voting machinery and doing a good job implementing an initiative to require voters to show ID at the polls.
She has what looks to be a not incredibly active MySpace page.
