In August of 2005, former UAB football standout Kirk Tuck was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Kirk was an All-Conference USA selection and three-year starter on the Blazer's offensive line and graduated from UAB following the 2002 season.
Although Kirk succumbed to his fight with Leukemia in July of 2006, he showed the same fight and determination that he exhibited every day as a football player at UAB.
An account to receive donations in Kirk's honor from friends and colleagues has been set up at AmSouth Bank. If you would like to help Kirk's family and UAB Athletics preserve his memory, you can visit any AmSouth Bank. If you would prefer to send a check, you can mail it to:
Kirk Tuck Fund
UAB Football Office
7-11 Building
1530 3rd Ave. S.
Birmingham, AL 35294
Please make checks payable to AmSouth Bank and write Kirk Tuck's name somewhere on the check.

I went to high school with Kirk. It's a devistating thing to
when someone you know passes away. It is much worse when it's a loved one.
My heart goes out to you.
Lisa Lawrence
It seems like yesterday that I was DJing Melissa and Kirk's
wedding. I don't recall alot of specifics of nights doing it at Bell but I
do remember nights like theirs. I didn't know Kirk as long as I knew Melissa
but I could tell he cared deeply for her and I know she adored him. I have
the deepest sympathy for Melissa, and Kirks family and friends. May God be
with all of you.
Michael Boaz
You will always be remember as my big brother. To those who never knew you, he was an on and off the field leader who led by exemple. My deepest simpathy to his family.

To all our family, friends and friends we have never met: Thank you for your tender messages you have sent. We will be eternally grateful for the enormous outpouring of love for our family. We have been strengthed by your faith and prayers. Kirk told us many times that he could feel the prayers and how much he appreciated it. He will be missed but we look forward to the promise of the resurrection. We know we will see him again and will get to have his big bear hugs again. Til we meet again, we will keep him near and dear to our hearts...Wayne & Theresa Tuck, Brian & Meagan Tuck and Grandma and Grandpa Holloman

made UAB football fun to be around..and even more exciting to watch. Our
thoughts are with you and your family.
Amanda Clay & Coach Clay
My son, age 11, was recently diagnosed with ALL. He too is a
football player. We also have enormous support from both the local high
school and bantam programs, without which we would feel so isolated. Your
son must have been an outstanding young man to have so many care for him. I
am so sorry for your loss, and can only hope the love our Lord and Savior
can comfort you in this time of grief.

Mel, you and your family are in my prayers every single day. Kirk was special to all of your Dorians, and it was always so sweet of him to come to all of our performances even when it probably wasn't where he always wanted to be. You are such an amazing woman and I truly admire your strength.
With all of my love,
Alexis Petelos
I love you...may you always know that you will always have special place in my heart. I'm thankful that I was able to say Good-bye and hold your hand. Rest now, your suffering is through and your time with Heavenly Father has just begun. Watch over Melissa and be her angel.
Melissa, I admire you and your patience and kindness to Kirk and for your undying love for him. We'll never understand why but we'll have memories of him to comfort us. May God bless you and your family. I love you.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. So when you are having a bad day fight a little harder for a boy named Cory Huffstutler, he was only 18.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We cannot even imagine what you are going through but keep up the fight and never give up! God Bless. You and Melissa will be in our prayers.

Kirk....you don't know me but i know of you...as a writer for the kaliedescope covering sports, i have had the privelege of being around many of our university's wonderful athletes...the hard work and detirmination you learned as an athlete will be the tools you use to overcome this particularly obstacle in your life...I truly believe that our Lord chooses only the strongest of us to be challenged in these situations and I know you will show the same detirmination and skills you used as an offensive lineman to "pancake" your leukemia, not just for your own sake, but for the sake of your family and friends and to inspire the rest of us just as you always did on the gridiron...God be with you and your family on this most important journey...best wishes always...your friend and brother forever...Jim Borton

I'm not too familiar with shotguns other than the 870 and the Benelli M4 I have. I have combat sights on mine and run a mini RMR on the rail. Sorry I can't be of more help there
But, for the light, I'd strongly suggest sticking with Surefire. Many of their lights are designed for the recoil of rifles and shotguns, where many others are not, and do not have the spring system for the led/bulb and batteries. You can find them used, or get into a newer G2 pretty cheap. Just get a Viking Tactics or Gear Sector mount.
Well, I guess that depends on how you mount it and if you have any rail sections. If not, I'm sure you can find direct mounts for it.

New online portal ETICO sets sights on school corruption
ETICO, a unique new portal aimed at fighting corruption in education systems around the world, is being launched today by the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO).
Corruption is often hard to track and measure, but is found at different levels in countries' education systems and is hampering access to education and children's learning. It results in children being denied a good-quality education. Examples of corruption in education range from ghost schools and fake diplomas, to missing textbooks, stolen school supplies, absent teachers and misallocation of school grants.
For example, surveys carried out by IIEP partners tackling corruption estimate that the salaries of absent or ghost teachers may account for 15-20% of payroll costs in some countries; in some cases this is equal to half of the funds allocated to improving school buildings, providing better class equipment and buying school textbooks, etc.
The ETICO database, which houses the latest cutting-edge research tracking ethics and corruption, is a gateway for accessing expert training materials on transparency, accountability and anti-corruption issues in education and for support in implementing anti-corruption tools and strategies.
The global online platform will serve as a key interactive discussion hub for national and international partners who are promoting transparency. It will provide them with the opportunity to upload and share research on this crucial topic to help create a stronger united front against corruption in education.
"It is estimated that corruption is sucking millions of dollars out of the system, and as a result many children are missing out on an education due to malpractices and a serious lack of ethics in the system. The ETICO platform aims to help prevent this by bringing all of the key stakeholders together to fight against the problem and offer expert advice," IIEP's Senior Researcher on anti-corruption and ethics in education, Muriel Poisson, said.
Through its blog, the ETICO platform will host in-depth discussions on tackling corruption by sharing news and information, as well as highlighting best practices in countries where interventions against corruption in education have proved successful.
The launch of ETICO coincides with the release of an important new IIEP publication, Achieving Transparency in Pro-Poor Education Incentives. The book outlines the best ways to ensure that scholarships, conditional cash transfers, free school meals, etc., actually reach children from poor backgrounds and families who need it most.
For example, in South Africa, the quintile ranking system was designed to provide enhanced funding to schools serving the poorest students. To ensure that funds are reaching the right schools, several measures have been introduced, such as the use of objective, transparent and publicly known targeting tables. This system is recognized as an important effort towards ensuring greater equity in education by cutting school fees for the poorest children in South Africa, thereby giving them access to education.
In Brazil, the creation of food school councils has reduced the risks of misappropriation of food or fraud in food procurement – both problems in the past – by institutionalizing the process of continuous programme monitoring and accountability. Relying on the participation of the school community and civil society, these councils scrutinize school menus and their related expenses. They help reduce delay in the transfer of resources, cut down operational costs and improve the quality of goods. The Brazilian school lunch programme reaches over 45 million people, and provides stability to the lives of poor families and students.
In the Indian state of Rajasthan, 28% of schools have introduced display boards that are available for public scrutiny. Usually painted on the school building, they display key information related to the daily functioning of the school, e.g. all financial investments made by the school; teacher attendance, etc. Publicly displayed transparency boards are now regarded as an important feature of community-based monitoring and public hearings are held where people are invited to give testimonies of corrupt practices and government officials are called upon to take action.
Presenting research comparing seven projects implemented worldwide, Achieving Transparency in Pro-Poor Education Incentivesshows that measures taken to confront corruption risks – such as school display boards, local transparency mechanisms, appeal mechanisms, social audits, and informal whistleblowing, among actions taken is key in the battle against corruption in education. These measures are seen as crucial tools for achieving the Education for All goals. They are presented in detail on ETICO, together with hundreds of other such cases.

Are there any concerns with privacy and malware regarding the aftermarket Android launchers? I know I have trust issues and all that, so bear with me if you're snickering already and that 10,000,000+ downloads should tell me there's nothing wrong with them.
I love HTC Sense, but I'm tired of the "Loading" screen popping up of late when exiting certain applications and the launcher having to reload. Are things like GO Launcher and ADW and LauncherPro and Zeam, etc, safe for free use? I'm especially curious of the GO Launcher devs, as they seem to have a lot of quality products, yet all of them are free as well as ad free (bonus). How do they make money? Are they giving these things away through the goodness of their veiled hearts?
I enjoyed using GO Launcher and GO SMS for a day or so until I scared myself into uninstalling it... Am I right to worry about the safety and privacy of information on my phone or am I just being paranoid?

Disclosure under the prescribed insurance contracts regime : Section 35 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 and consumer protection revisited
Tarr, Julie-Anne (2001) Disclosure under the prescribed insurance contracts regime : Section 35 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 and consumer protection revisited. Australian Business Law Review, 29(3), pp. 198-201.
Section 35 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 requires insurers offering insurance policies in six prescribed areas "to clearly inform" prospective insureds of any departure their policies may constitute from the standard covers established by the Act and its accompanying Regulations. This prescribed insurance contracts regime was designed to remedy comprehension problems generated by the length and complexity of insurance documents and to alleviate misunderstanding over the terms and conditions of individual policies. This article examines the rationale underpinning s 35 and the prescribed insurance contracts regime and looks at the operation of the legislation with particular reference to home contents insurance in Australia. It is argued that the means whereby disclosure of derogation from standard cover may be effected largely negates the thrust of the prescribed insurance contract reform. Recommendations to address these operational deficiencies are made.

Turfway Park begins four-month stand
Four months of winter racing commence Thursday night at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky with a scaled-down schedule and no sponsor for the spring showcase race – yet with hope that the track's fate may not be as doomed as it once seemed.
Thursday marks the start of the Holiday meet, which runs through Dec. 31 on a traditional 22-day schedule. The winter-spring meet then runs Jan. 1 through March 31, and that's when the effects will be evident from the recent decision by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to award September 2013 dates to Churchill Downs instead of Turfway.
Turfway will lose valuable host-track simulcast fees from that switch, and that in turn led officials to decide to reduce racing dates during its less lucrative winter-spring meet. While 13 programs are slated for January, only four are on the calendar for February. In March, there will be 11 days of racing when mostly working on a twice-a-week basis.
In addition, Turfway officials revealed Tuesday that the Kentucky breeding farm Vinery will no longer serve as the title sponsor for the track's longtime signature event, which – for now – reverts to once again being known as the Spiral Stakes. The 42nd running of the Grade 3, $500,000 race is set for March 23, and longtime director of operations Chip Bach said the track is hoping to find a new sponsor. Vinery sponsored the race for two years (2011-12) after Lane's End served in that role for nine years (2002-10).
Meanwhile, on a more positive note, developments within the Kentucky state government hierarchy in late October seemed to substantially enhance the possibilities that Turfway will benefit from alternative gaming at state racetracks in the future. David Williams, a longtime nemesis to the racing industry as leader of the state Senate, resigned his position to accept a judgeship, thereby eliminating one of the major roadblocks to that long-sought source of fiscal relief.
Turfway, unlike Kentucky Downs and Ellis Park, has been reluctant to embrace the Instant Racing machines because of the legal issues involved, track spokeswoman Sherry Pinson said. The legality of Instant Racing is still under appeal in the state court system, and Caesars, which owns 50 percent of Turfway (Rock Gaming has 40 percent and Keeneland has 10), cannot afford the implications that being involved in something potentially illegal might have on its other properties, Pinson said.
As for the ontrack action at Turfway, where Polytrack has been in use as the exclusive racing surface since the 2005 fall meet, per-day purses during the Holiday meet are expected to average about $123,000, including stakes and Kentucky Throughbred Development Fund bonuses, according to racing secretary Rick Leigh. Three $50,000 stakes will be run at the Holiday meet, starting Saturday with the Holiday Inaugural for fillies and mares. The six-furlong race drew 37 nominations.
"We have a solid history of strong average field size and good stakes racing during this meet," Bach said in a release.
The Thursday opener typifies the brand of racing to come. The nominal feature of a 10-race card is a starter-allowance with an $11,500 purse (race 7), with the familiar assortment of $5,000 claiming events serving in support.
TVG typically provides extensive coverage of Turfway races, which will be called as usual by local resident Mike Battaglia.
I drove down from Michigan in March 2009 to see the Spiral Stakes and check out the facilities. Interesting architecture. The folks were all very nice. The only down side was the second-hand cigarette smoke. I am toying with the idea of visting again for the next Spiral Stakes. There's always the chance that one may see the future Kentucky Derby winner in that field. I would be disappointed if Turfway ever had to close.
First time I saw Turfway was about a year after the Latonia name went away; hasn't changed too much since. Flat-screen TVs....yeah, I know. Average daily handle under $100,000/day for their live product and trending lower. No Kentucky Cup, attendance for Spiral went from about 20,000 in 2006 (in the snow) to about 7000 this year. Another one ready to disappear, even with slots.
"TVG typically provides extensive coverage of Turfway races, which will be called as usual by local resident Mike Battaglia." And the bad news keeps on coming.
Hard to figure how the meet can be profitable.....maybe one of DRF's guys could do an actual "analysis" and provide some insight ?

The toll in the collapse of a minaret in northern Morocco rose to 41 on Saturday, with the number of injured put at 75, Moroccan news agency MAP reported.
Both figures were higher than the original casualty tolls given late Friday after the collapse of the 400-year-old minaret during prayers in the city of Meknes. The mosque itself was also badly damaged when the minaret collapsed.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the accident, although reports suggested that recent heavy rainfalls in the area may have been a factor.
Rescue efforts were described as difficult because of the narrow streets in the historic district of Meknes where the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque is located.
Meknes has about half a million residents and along with Fes, Marakesh and Rabat is one of Morocco's four so-called royal cities.
In the past it was the seat of one of the country's ruling dynasties. Meknes' medina or historical centre is listed as a world cultural heritage site by Unesco.

Jim Kershner's this day in history
Fri., June 14, 2013, midnight
From our archives, 100 years ago
More shocking testimony came out of the state investigation of the Medical Lake Insane Asylum, as the mental hospital was called in 1913.
Doctors and an undertaker said that the bodies of two patients who died at the hospital were "covered with bruises and wounds from head to foot."
One former patient said he was beaten so badly by attendants one time he couldn't use his arm for a month. He complained to the superintendent, who asked him to let him know if he was ever beaten again. But after that, the attendants handcuffed him to another patient so he couldn't inform on them.
Then came the revelation that an employee of the asylum had stolen some of the official records of the asylum. The employee denied time and again that he knew anything about the missing records, but during a dramatic moment in the hearing he finally broke down and confessed.
He stole them and gave them to one of the attorneys who was trying to build a case against the asylum. He said he "took them in a good cause" – but he was probably facing perjury charges.

With Congress plunging into talks to avoid the much-feared fiscal cliff, the Jewish community's umbrella organization for policy is cautiously weighing in.
In a letter to Congress, Rabbi Steve Gutow, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs's president and CEO, urged lawmakers to keep in mind the impact of budget cuts on the poor and needy when sitting down to discuss a compromise.
He pointedly avoided the biggest question of all: whether taxes should go up for the wealthiest Americans.
"We recognize the significant challenges facing our country's fiscal stability and the immense pressures to reduce the deficit," the letter to Congress states, "still we call on you to ensure that, in a nation as wealthy and generous as ours, every American is simultaneously provided the opportunity to fulfill his or her potential, and no American must live in a state of destitution."
Specifically, the JCPA is calling on members of Congress to avoid cuts to anti-poverty programs including food stamps (SNAP), Earned Income Tax Credit, unemployment insurance, nutrition programs for women and children, home energy assistance, and Medicaid. The group also asked that programs providing opportunities for those in need, such as Pell grants, will be spared from cuts.
"We believe that deficit reduction should be carefully calibrated to ensure that the most vulnerable among us are protected, opportunity for all is promoted, and justice is pursued," Gutow wrote.
While stressing the need to solve the budget deficit in a "bipartisan, civil fashion," the group, carefully tiptoed around the issue of tax hikes and made no reference to the administration position which proposed raising taxes for those earning more than $250,000 as a crucial measure alongside cuts in government spending. This seems to be in line with the Jewish federations umbrella group which has also avoided taking a stand on the issue of tax increases.

Coaches-in-training recently attended a second Conflict Resolution training for the Coaching for Reconciliation Program, a two-year professional certification course that combines basketball and conflict resolution education. PeacePlayers International – Middle East (PPI-ME), the Arbinger Institute and Zinman College at the Wingate College, the premier sports education institution in Israel, are teaming up to lead this two-year bilingual diploma course for coaching hopefuls who are interested in learning how to use basketball to bridge divides. The course combines basketball coaching certification classes and conflict resolution facilitation training and is made possible by the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The course also includes Hebrew and Arabic language training and a practicum, in which coaches in training get to use their new skills with PPI youth.
At the training, held at Hand in Hand School in Jerusalem, the students began in the classroom with PPI-ME peace education facilitators Renana Gal and Nissreen Najjar. It's important to note that about half the students had previous involvement with PPI-ME before the start of the course, while the other half had not. I asked Nissreen what differed between this training and the first one that occurred about five months ago. "There was a connection between the students that had prior experience with PeacePlayers and the ones that did not. This was good to see, because the first time we met there was a divide between these groups." Nissreen and Renana led an activity where the students performed dramatic interpretations of stories that were written on cards which the students chose from an assortment. This activity allowed the students to indirectly discuss peace-education themes such as seeing people as people versus seeing them as objects. Another focus of their session was to discuss the importance of the coach as an educator. According to Nissreen, "it's important for the coaches to bring the peace education ideas into their relationships with their players."
After the peace-education session, PPI-ME Basketball Operations Manager Vito Gilic took over. Vito led a discussion regarding the differences between educators and coaches, and then he explained how these two roles can combine into one. For this training, Vito's main focus was to get these student coaches to feel what the kids feel, so they can relate to them and understand them. One of the students who was not previously involved with PPI-ME shared her thoughts on the session with Vito and the importance of this training. Dorit, who is from a city just west of Jerusalem, exclaimed, "Vito was great — so professional and experienced. He's all about the kids and he really believes in the cause." After the classroom session with Vito, the retreat became even more interactive.
Vito also taught the participants the principles of leading a Twinning followed by an opportunity to observe an actual Twinning to see these principles put into practice. Dorit continued, "this was the first time we got to see a joint practice between Israelis and Palestinians and Vito was leading it. It was actually a bit overwhelming in the sense of how simple it really is. Put the kids together, and let them play. The politics go away when we are focusing on playing the game." After the Twinning, Vito led a debriefing session to discuss what the participants observed and what they learned. The students will continue their conflict resolution training next month when they come together for a retreat at Kibbutz Sdot Yam.

In an attempt to raise public awareness about national energy consumption as the summer heat drains Israel's power production capability, the Energy and Water Ministry launched a unique venture to put the country's energy usage in front of every Tel Avivi's eyes Wednesday night.
A graph made up of 270,000 LED bulbs on 4.5km of tracking has been installed on Tel Aviv's Reading power plant's smoke stack. The installation rises 100 meters over Tel Aviv's port, is six meters wide and consumes a mere nine kWh, the power used to run four electric kettles. It plots the country's energy consumption in real-time.
"Presenting a graph of the energy demand aims to light up the eyes and enlighten the nation regarding the power shortage," National Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau said.
The project, designed by artist and lighting designer Gil Teichman, displays and illustrates electricity demand versus production capacity in real-time.
Israel is in the midst of a severe power shortage. Power supplies took a major blow with the halting of natural gas supplies from Egypt earlier this year, and the IEC warned that this summer its power-generating abilities would be a mere one percent above the expected demand.

Could Mr. T beat Mr. Clean? Could Flipper beat Jaws? If you've ever wondered about the fighting talents of real and fictitious pop celebrities, the vintage website Grudge-Match.com (1995-2005), which combined speculative analysis and Internet votes, was a time-waster's haven, but it was incomplete. Though the site offered Rocky vs. Rambo, for some reason the more logical Rocky vs. Jake LaMotta missed the cut. Now, we have a movie called Grudge Match to fill that yawning gap.
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone are two former boxers, now in their 60s, who want to reschedule a match that was cancelled 30 years before. For film buffs, there's a brief montage to savour: vintage clips of a young Stallone and De Niro practising boxing for their parts in Rocky and Raging Bull, which underscore the parallels between Stallone's blue-collar fairy tale in the first of those movies and De Niro's ring opera in the second.
A seniors' comedy that riffs on the two actors' most famous roles, it's more like Grumpy Old Men with Spit Buckets. Picking up from the late scenes of Raging Bull, we see De Niro as Billy (The Kid) McDonnen, onstage from his Pittsburgh bar, insulting women and telling old boxing stories. His old rival, played by Stallone, is Henry (Razor) Sharp – their Italian-American names have been dropped – who needs money to help pay the medical bills of his old manager (Alan Arkin, caustically snappy, as per usual).
When a motor-mouthed promoter (Kevin Hart) wants them to do some motion-capture posing for a video game, the rivals meet again, shove each other around and, thanks to a viral video, become celebrities again. Soon, a rematch is in the works.
There's a woman, of course. Kim Basinger, Razor's old flame, who hurt him many years ago, emerges from the past to fire Razor's sense of romance and ambition. Though Basinger (a mere 60) looks great, it's an awkward performance: Too often she's left waiting for Stallone to slur out his next line.
At times, the script seems uncertain whether this is a family film or an R-rated comedy. Billy discovers an estranged adult son (The Walking Dead's Jon Bernthal) named B.J., which provides the opportunity for a numbing number of off-colour jokes, including some involving a child. As the more animated of the two aging warriors, De Niro waves his hands and shouts a lot, and occasionally shoots invective worthy of Raging Bull's Jake.
Everyone in the movie, of course, is anxious to see these comeback seniors beat each other up, except, perhaps, the viewing audience. While Stallone (67) and De Niro (70) have done a commendable job keeping their waistlines in check, the vision of the two actors shuffling about the ring in an awkwardly choreographed slapfest is not inspiring. Courageous, no doubt, but really not inspiring.Report Typo/Error

Activities in Cuyahoga Valley National Park
HikingWith 125 miles of hiking trails, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a popular destination for Ohioans looking to take a nice, long walk in the woods -- or through a meadow, or even in a cave. These can be simple day hikes, overnight backcountry camping, ranger-led expeditions or interactive self-guided canalway quests.
Select hiking trails are ideal for families, combining short transit times (generally an hour or less) with opportunities to view wildlife, waterfalls and other attractions. Some of the park's most popular hikes are to Ritchie Ledges and along Beaver Marsh -- a must-visit destination for bird watchers. There is also a system of designated horse trails in the park.
Winter ActivitiesSince Cuyahoga Valley is open all year, there are lots of fun, family-friendly winter activities to try out. Snowshoeing on the park's hiking trails is a popular form of recreation. Some trails, such as the scenic Ledges and Brandywine Falls systems, are not recommended for snowshoes, but they are open for hiking during the winter. Many areas of the park are ideal for cross-country skiing, ranging from 1.5- mile loops to 19.7-mile trails. The Boston Mills Ski Resort in Peninsula offers downhill skiing, which is somewhat rare in Ohio.
Water RecreationThe Cuyahoga River is known to contain pollution from wastewater drainage upstream. For this reason, the park does not recommend recreation use of the river. However, activities like canoeing, kayaking, swimming and wading are not prohibited. Certain ponds in the park are also open to canoeing. Fishing is also allowed in the park's waterways, subject to state regulations. Due to water contamination, the park recommends limiting your consumption of sport fish. Catch-and-release practices are encouraged to help maintain local fish populations, such as steelhead trout and bullhead. Ice fishing on the park's pond is popular in the winter.

Sound familiar? If you live with an adolescent in your home, chances are these words describe quite a bit of your daily life experience. Teenagers engage all kinds of vital life tasks in random, chaotic, and circumstantial ways. Like their friendships. And dating relationships. And homework. And probably their interactions with you.
But we aren't using the words random, chaotic, and circumstantial to describe any of those areas of life right now. We're using them to describe what we've learned from research about the prayer life of teenagers.
Research shows that faith practices are important to what we call Sticky Faith—faith that lasts beyond high school and into college and young adulthood (see our Parent page for more resources to help you know how to build Sticky Faith in your family). Yet often teenagers aren't sure how to nurture their own spiritual growth. Our research at the Fuller Youth Institute has indicated that only about half of graduating youth group seniors pray once a day or read the Bible once a week. Beyond prayer and Scripture study, teenagers also don't seem have experience with a host of other timeless faith practices that could make a difference in their day to day lives.
As a follow up to the Sticky Faith research, we are exploring what disciplines best connect kids with God and nurture lasting faith, in particular those that help integrate faith practices with all of life. Out of that exploration we've created this resource as an entry point for youth workers and parents to invite young people to create new faith rhythms. To find out more about the series see our Sticky Faith Every Day Curriculum page.
You might notice that we've tried to create ideas that get both you and your kids talking. Research shows that parents are one of—if not the—biggest influences on their kids' faith. Yes, even for teenagers. Further, our Sticky Faith research revealed that while it's important for parents to talk with their kids about the kids' faith, it's just as important for parents to talk about their own faith journeys with their kids. We're convinced you will all grow from these kinds of conversations.
One parent shared with a leader who helped pilot this curriculum:
We REALLY needed to hear & read & put into practice what you've put into the Sticky Faith Family Ideas.
We just went through a follow up conversation last night with our tween about school which made us realize that we need to re-adjust our extracurricular activities & commitments. After last night's conversation, it became obvious that we need to meet as a family this weekend to come up with a new "adjusted" game plan. We have taken "notice" last night (as well as noticing the chain of events that have been building up to this point) & getting your email with this week's Family Ideas really confirms it.
This curriculum has given us the foundation, the gentle reminder, the green light, the road map to do just that!
The overall theme of this Every Day series is noticing God. Some people say "paying attention" is the core of the spiritual life. We think they're on to something. So this journey over the next weeks (for many of you, this 8 week journey might work well to use during the Lent season as preparation for Easter) is an invitation to notice. Noticing might mean you have to stop, listen, change up your steps a bit. It might mean trying some new things as a family. One way to think of these practices is that they are ways we learn to pay attention to and notice God and God's work in and around us.
Ideas to Engage Your Whole Family in Noticing God More
Below are some ideas and tips for you as you engage this journey together with your family. These are ideas from Week 1 but could be practiced at any time. Please note that you won't be able to implement all of these ideas, so pick one or two you'd like to focus on and give them a try together!
- Acknowledge that certain sacrifices will likely mean something different to your kids than to you. For example, given the pervasive role digital technology plays in the lives of adolescents today (it's truly all they have ever known), living without the internet or their cell phone is comparable to an adult imagining life without electricity. So rather than fighting with your teenager over instituting a blanket "No media on Sundays" rule, invite them to work together with you toward something that's manageable as a practice everyone is willing to try together. In the end they might long for more time apart from their digital connectivity, but that desire will have to come from them, not you, in order to really be effective.
- Many parents have noticed that the moment they pull out the printed family devotion is the moment the kids shut down. If you've experienced this, think about ways to have these conversations or try these activities without using this (or another) resource as a cue sheet. Your kids will appreciate your own words and your authentic presence more than anything we could write for you.
- Read Psalm 103: 6-14 together. Wonder together what it means that the writer uses such big language for God's love and for how dramatically God removes our sin. You might also ask: What does it mean that God is "slow to anger"? Do you think that describes our family, and why/why not? How do we need God to work in our family to make us all more like God in this area?
- Talk together about something your family might want to fast from as a family during this journey. If you do, be sure you choose as a family. Also consider how you can invite your kids to participate, but also give them permission not to participate. Remember that the point is creating ways we can notice God more during our everyday life.
- Find a local or global outreach opportunity or cause to support as a family. If you're giving up something together that involves time and/or money, also decide together what you'll do with that time and/or money. Maybe you can channel money to help build a well in another community, or maybe you can visit pediatric cancer patients in your city at the local children's hospital. Do some research, incorporating your kids' web savvy, and try something new together.
- If you're doing this during Lent and you attend an Ash Wednesday service together, ask on the way to or from the service or over dinner, "Why do we wear the ashes on our bodies today?" and explore what it means to different members of your family. Be sure you answer this—and every—question yourself!
- The Week 1 DAILY GUIDE invites your kids to read and re-read Psalm 25:1-7. Consider doing the same and sharing together about the impressions the passage has made on each of you at the end of the week.
- In the DAILY GUIDE we invite your kids to consider incorporating the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13 into their daily and weekly rhythm of prayer. You might also want to do this in your family as a way to reinforce, wonder about, and be changed by this prayer. In fact, we encourage you to consider using the DAILY GUIDE yourself throughout this 8-week series!
Our hope is that this resource leads to new long-term rhythms for your family and for your children in their own life with God. Here's to nurturing Sticky Faith…Every Day!

Durable Deck Stain and Sealer?
I rebuilt my boat dock using pressure treated lumber about six months ago. It's had plenty of time to dry-out so now it's time to apply some kind of protectant.
I'm in west central Florida and the sun is brutal. I've read that oil based is the way to go and to avoid solids. I'd prefer a single application (stain and sealer in one) if possible.
There's both Sherwin Williams and Porter in the area. Willing to spend for a quality product.
I highly recommend Sherwin Williams, I have been doing business with then for years and the professionals working there can give you all the information about the products that are best for your situation.
Good Luck!
Well, first off, all stains SEAL wood! Personally, the best stain company I have come across is SANSIN. www.sansin.com. I would apply Sansin's DEC stain (an emulsified oil, which means you can clean up with water. It does have oils but it's newer technology that actually works better than high voc oil stains) Apply two coats, at least a few hours apart. That's it, no clear finish afterwards, like I said, this product will seal the wood. And instead of doing it every year, you'll be doing it every two to three years. These guys are beating Sikkens everywhere, and Sikkens are a well known stain company. It's a little more than the lower end products, but you pay for what yo uget, and in the end, you'll save in the long run.
NNNNNNNNNH! That's the sound of the buzzer. Did you seal the underside? Thanks for playing.
Instead of a ladder, you need a dingy.
I would ask around the marine outlets and find a good seaworthy coating, something that is designed for ship wood.
BTW, nice spot. For airfare, room and board, I'll man the dingy. And I live at the beach.
Solid stains are generally not recommended for deck surfaces but a semi-transparent stain will have some color that can even out color differences in the decking if that is an issue for you. Semi-transparents tend to have better UV protection than clear products. What you don't want are sealers with waxes such as Thompson's Water Seal.
As mentioned, some of the newer water-suspended semi-transparents rival their oil counterparts in terms of performance and are a lot easier to clean up after. They are pricey though. I guess I am either a purist or a pre-geezer that just has more faith in oil-based stains for decks.
Definitely ask around and see what others are using on their decks and docks. You obviously want good UV and wood protection. You want something that is not going to turn into an ice rink when wet.
I know you have to do something but keep "Less is More" thinking in mind. Dock maintenance will probably be at least an annual chore so don't go overboard (pun intended) with expensive materials you cannot keep up with. And as pointed out you are only going to be able to further protect one side of the dock beyond the treatment of the wood. It will only last so long. Better to use high quality materials but not to the point you might for other applications. Stick the savings in a fund for dock repairs and replacement down the road.
I raced a 35 foot Cheoy Lee Lion for ages. It had a beautiful teak deck that we never touched with any sort of sealer and it was drenched in salt water. Once you start with deck sealers and stains it becomes an endless task to keep all blended together just for appearance sake.
If you're trying to say that sealing will be ineffective because I did not seal the underside of the boards prior to installation, I'm not too worried about that. I'm more concerned with protecting from UV and rain. The tide virtually never reaches the dock. I know it's not going to last forever. I just want to do what I can to give it some added longevity.

Westpac Bank has announced a new two-year fixed rate home loan rate for borrowers with a deposit of at least 20 per cent.
The bank's new rate of 5.65 per cent is 30 basis points lower than its standard two-year rate of 5.95 per cent.
At the same time, Westpac is raising its 'special' one-year rate by 46 basis points, from 4.94 per cent to 5.40 per cent.
Both rates come into effect today and require a minimum 20 per cent deposit, with no minimum lending amount.
"Over the last few months there has been a growing preference for fixed term home loans and the new rate provides a competitive option for customers," the bank said in a statement.
"The two year term offers certainty for customers and choice for those looking to split their mortgages between fixed and floating rates."
Westpac's announcement comes as survey results out today show banks are improving the margins on their lending by competing less on cut-throat interest rates and instead are increasingly using giveaway offers for iPads, televisions and smartphones.
The quarterly KPMG Financial Institutions Survey says: "Fixed lending rates have started to increase over the past quarter, from low levels which were driven due to intense competition over the past quarter, which has contribute to the interest rate margin increase."
"This intense competition in household lending appears to have begun to soften in respect of the rates offered, with other factors of competition being used, such as banks contributing to legal fees and offering consumer electronics," it said.
"Couple with the new lending restrictions on high loan to value ratio loans, this would indicate further increases in lending interest rates being offered to the market in the near future," it said.
Banks' average interest margins are measured in tenths of a percentage point, and increased 0.2 per cent to an average 2.26 per cent in the three months ended June 30, compared to the previous three months, when a 0.2 per cent decline was recorded.
The nine banks covered by the survey earned a total net profit after tax for the June quarter of $1.023 billion, up 5.4 per cent on the previous quarter, "largely driven by an increase in non-interest income, whilst being slightly offset by increased operating expenses."
ASB and Kiwibank recorded the largest operating cost increases, thought to reflect investment in new technology.
Total assets among the banks surveyed increased by $8.8 billion, or 2.37 per cent, over the quarter, mainly thanks to increases in gross loans and advances and financial assets at fair value, said KPMG.

António Guterres:
Refugees have the right to be protected
António Guterres thinks that we can solve the global refugee crisis — and he offers compelling, surprising reasons why we must try. In conversation with TED's Bruno Giussani, Guterres discusses the historical causes of the current crisis and outlines the mood of the European countries that are trying to screen, shelter and resettle hundreds of thousands of desperate families. Bigger picture: Guterres calls for a multilateral turn toward acceptance and respect — to defy groups like ISIS's anti-refugee propaganda and recruiting machine.

Conn's - Ashley Leather Couch Set,
We bought an Ashley set of leather couches at Conn's three years ago. Within a month or two the leather was peeling on the Reclining Love Seat left side. I didn't know REAL leather peeled. We called in for repairs and they came and the repairman from Kelly's Furniture Service in San Antonio told us that the leather was no good and he's have to order a new cover. waited weeks for the parts to arrive. by that time the couch was doing the same thing, and the relining mechanism on the right side had quit working properly. Called to complain and once again the sent out a different guy from Kelly;s repeat of the same story, had to order parts, waited waited waited. after four months another repairmen showed up with the correct cover to fix the love seat left side, by then the right side was peeling too, needless to say ordered more parts. I asked about the reclining part of the couch and was told it was back ordered due to a rash of the same problems. [continued below]....
Months went by called to complain more times than I can count, same story, finally the furniture was in such bad shape I had to replace it with real leather furniture from a real furniture company. Told Conn's I refuse to pay the balance for furniture that they failed to repair and wasn't even real leather as it was represented.

Just simply pushing the latest version isn't aIn general, I agree with you. Maintainers must and have to put information and details into Bodhi when submitting an update. Just "upgrade to xxx" is not suitable, yes. But there are exceptions sometimes, e.g. when ClamAV or phpMyAdmin upstream goes crazy again and pushes out the fix, tells "this is an important security fix, details will follow in the next days or so" as this already happend multiple times in the past. Usually then, it is a more bigger security issue with remote impacts which has to pass through without any stoppers except for or by the Fedora Security team.
I wasn't aware of this. This seems a very odd practise. Why is this happening?
So yes, we need some kind of guideline, either some fazit about the update or the upstream changelog (depends on what is understandable, so gcc, glibc and friends are also some exceptions, I would guess). On the other hand, the Bodhi stuff has to be handable for the package maintainer. Speaking for me and the other unpaid Fedora package maintainers, it is our time, we like to spend and we spend for the project. Making it unnecessary complicated shouldn't be the goal at all: Keep it simple, doable and suitable for both sides: Maintainers and users.
Absolutely. So would you mind drafting a guideline for this? My goal from this as a end user was just to more intelligently cherry pick updates (bandwidth issues, cost of connection etc) and some of the updates give me zero information beyond just semi random version numbers to do this. Another potential problem is that third party repositories typically don't make use of bodhi or equivalent so the experience is very inconsistent across updates.

Ezy Magic (Tricks You will Do) HTML version
You need round candy rings for this trick. While white
peppermint flavored ones are most common, there is
no reason you can't add some color to the trick with
other types and colors.
Thread a candy ring on to a cord and cover it with a
cloth, then ask two friends to hold the ends of the cord.
You can now ask everyone for the Magic Word, reach
under the cloth and bring out the candy. Someone will
quickly remove the cloth but there is no clue. The candy
jumped off the cord to your palm!
You need 2 identical opaque candies and one has to be
secretly prepared in advance. You are about to make
what Magicians call a "gimmick", a device that secretly
does the work you take the credit for.

All I can say.
Are you kidding me???
Coco disappeared. Mom cried a lot; everyone did.
I didn't. I was oblivious. I really didn't notice the difference except everyone was really sad.
Then, a few weeks later, the family brings home a box. A box that was moving and whimpering. They open the box... and out pops.... a puppy!!!
I couldn't believe it. Are you kidding me? After all this crying and sadness - you bring home ANOTHER dog????
and this dog does NOT give up. He's always nipping at me, wanting to play, chasing me around the yard and house. I try to growl at him and show my teeth, but he does not stop.
But, I think I can dominate him. Maybe.
We'll see....
Bark all:
Well, that female pack member has returned.
Mom told me we were going to have a surprise and we went for a car ride. well - we went to a Petco but mom wouldn't go in. She said they weren't open yet because it was REALLY early - I didn't have breakfast yet - and we waited and waited and waited. Mom let me go out a bathroom break, then back to the car and waited and waited and waited. Finally, this big bus came into the parking lot and all these people were there. I sniffed everyone! Mom finally said - there she is - WHO??? I was sniffing everyone and didn't recognize anyone! Mom said - that's your human sister. What? Who?? This "sister" has been gone for a while, but mom said she was one of us.
So I let her in the car and we came home. Yeah, I guess she's one of our pack.
I seem to remember this pack member always had chocolate and candy around her. Oh - NOW I remember!!!
Woof everydog!
It's been a while since I wrote, but nothing big deal has been going on. I'm still the "favorite" dog though!
Just hanging out on human brother's bed most of the time. I feel SO lazy!!! All I do is eat sleep and poop! Mostly inside for all three!!!
I've finally learned how to get back at Coco for not letting me play. When I'm "in the mood" I let the family know and they gather up Coco and restrain her while I chase the toy. I really don't want to play much, maybe chase the toy a couple of times - but my favorite game is to get the toy and then run over to Coco and drop it RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. This is while daddy is holding her so I'll play. This is so much fun! I love to taunt her like that! Serves her right, cause now she behaves better in the car and daddy takes her with us on our Sunday bagel runs.
We have "lost" a pack member. Not my favorite pack member, so I really don't care. The human sister disappeared a couple of months ago. I forget her name. She was mean to me sometimes. She wouldn't hit me or anything like that, she would just SMOTHER me (she said with love, I said with torture). Mom says she went to college. I don't know what that is, all I know is she is gone. So sometimes, I sneak into her room and pee on her floor!!! Payback!!! Mom says she calls and says she misses me and Coco.
I'm going to be a "bad dog" for halloween. I'll be wearing prison stripes. I don't mind the outfit, but I hate the hat. Maybe I'll get chocolate........
Bark to all.

Event Time and Date
The 2013 ACC Leadership Symposium is a three day leadership learning opportunity to engage student leaders across the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Each year, five student leaders (accompanied by a faculty/staff adviser) from each ACC university gather at a host university to study and teach, to swap and share both leadership strategies and knowledge regarding a specific social issue.
The 2013 conference theme centers on civic engagement and volunteerism. Over the course of the weekend, students will experience the many tiers of grassroots civic engagement. Participants will serve and interact with volunteers, reflect and debrief with volunteer managers, and hear the stories of organizational leaders. They will experience the process of civic engagement and leadership by identifying a community need, conceptualizing an approach to address this need, publicly proposing their action plan, and finally by debating the ideal course of engagement in a democratic forum.
The conference is scheduled for April 5 to 7, 2013 at Boston College. NOTE: Each school is allowed to bring five students and one adviser to the conference. Every ACC school conducts a different process so be sure to follow your school's application process before you register for the conference.
