Argument from Design
Responding to Objections, Part III
William Paley is often credited with the concept of a "clockwork" God as the result of his having recognized that the intricacies of the universe suggest that the universe was created. After all, if one were to be walking in the desert and come across a fully functioning Timex, I doubt any of us would believe for a second that the Timex appeared there suddenly in the middle of the desert as the result of the random actions of nature. Why is it that we are able to see immediately that the clock was designed? The answer is quite simple: we understand much of what nature can and cannot do, and creating a working clock would be beyond the ability of nature acting randomly."The second objection to this argument is against the premise that the existence of order and/or complexity presupposes the existence of conscious design. It is invalid to automatically infer the existence of a designer from the mere fact of order and regularity in nature - it's just a connection that has been arbitrarily made. In fact, order appears to be an inherent characteristic of the universe itself. What would a universe without order look like? I don't know - and as often as I've asked theists this question, I've never managed to get a straight answer. I don't believe that they really know what a universe without order would look like, either - but if that is the case, how can they assume that their god is needed to impose the order? The simple response is that they cannot.
"In general, order and complexity are dependent upon subjective judgments. Where one person may see order, another may see chaos. Where one person may see indecipherable complexity, another may see elegant simplicity. It would seem reasonable, then, to start out with a method of objectively measuring order, complexity, and chaos so that we can tell how much there is and whether or not that amount requires a Grand Designer. I have yet to meet a theist willing to attempt such a task."Austin Cline, Argument from Design
Take a look at an arch formed naturally by wind or water (see examples here), then take a look at the St. Louis Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. One was obviously formed by nature and one was obviously formed by men. Ask yourself this question: Why is it obvious which is which? Why is it, besides for the fact that we know it was made, can we tell that the Gateway Arch was man-made simply by looking? There are several things which, in my opinion, distinguish the two: the surroundings, the size, the use of joints, the flatness of the sides, etc., but I cannot say that any one or two factors would be determinative. The differences are (shall we dare use the word?) self-evident.
Austin Cline, the author of the About.com article, somehow believes that you have to be able to define the difference in order to know the difference. This is simply a falsity. There are many things that we know about but cannot define in the least. Define love, for example. Define an idea. Define beauty. Define art. Define obscenity. There are countless things about which we have an intuitive notion, but which cannot be reduced to fixed or concrete descriptions. Sure there are some things that are natural that at first blush appear manufactured, but simply because we are not always right does not mean that we are not usually right in our intuitive notions. I am sure the Austin Cline would not see a chair, for example, and imagine that it was formed by the forces of nature without human involvement, but he has no more basis for his understanding than I do. He simply knows.
Of course, nature can be a bit more tricky. The first time I visited the Pacific Ocean, I found a rock with a perfect hole in the middle. I initially thought "who drilled a hole in this rock"? Then I thought I had found a unique carving by nature. Finally, I found several more rocks that with holes and realized that my rock was not particularly unique, and that nature must make dozens of these rocks. So, what I first saw a designed as the result of the nearly perfect hole in the rock, turned out to be natural. But at the same time, it didn't take long to determine that my initial belief was erroneous, and I didn't insist that the rock was manufactured when the evidence indicated that it was not.
What about the universe? Does it show signs of being designed? Let's let some scientists speak:
Perhaps I cannot meet Austin Cline's challenge to develop a "method of objectively measuring order, complexity, and chaos so that we can tell how much there is and whether or not that amount requires a Grand Designer" (I don't know since I haven't tried and have no desire to start such an arduous task). If Austin Cline is so interested in such a formula, then I suggest that he develop it based upon models of things we see on earth--such as by creating a set of factors that can be used across the spectrum to objectively distinguish objects which are known to be natural from those that are known to be man-made. Such a test, to be worthwhile, needs to be applicable to any and all comparsions between any artificially made object and any object known to be natural (and one of the problems is that Mr. Cline cannot use as examples of natural objects anything which is presently at the center-point of the controversy over intelligent design, such as living cells). As for me, I think that complexity is one factor that almost always argues for design, and I think that the quotes by scientists who are all genuinely looking for a naturalistic explanations but who turn to the supernatural to explain the appearance of design in the universe argues much more forcefully than Mr. Cline's little challenge.Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological status of the word."
Paul Davies (British astrophysicist): "There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all....It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned natures numbers to make the Universe....The impression of design is overwhelming".
Paul Davies: "The laws [of physics] ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose".
Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing."
John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in."
George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather, Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?"
Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present state of scientific theory."
Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say 'supernatural') plan."
Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science."

A/N: This is a short story, nothing special or epic - I'm just fond of brief moments that could possibly occur in the fantasy worlds we all love so much.
Dance the Night Away
Deep growls could be heard along the rocky outcroppings hidden in the countryside. They echoed and reverberated off the trees, making them bend every which way, and whisper, as if they longed to mimic the baritone noise that had so shaken them. Birds rose up and scattered, their harsh cries drowned out by the much harsher din preceding them. The echo rippled and softened to nothing, dying on the brims of the treetops that stretched far to the horizon...and another sound could be heard. It was no harsh cry, nor deep, melodic growl - but the tinkling of bells and rhythmic beat of a tambourine. Its beat was steady and peaceful, horribly contrasting the vast noise that was its antecedent.
In a glade nearly surrounded by cliff and pines, there lied a very large, very bemused dragon. He was a young thing by dragon standards. To the human eye his youth was apparent only by the twinkle in his eye, and the manner with which he carried himself, as all young things do, be they dragon or human. His scales were a glistening red-brown, but his eyes were the color of the sun. Before him sat a woman with eyes the color of night. Her face was flushed, her dark hair in wisps, and she sat panting on the ground - but she was lit with a jovial smile. "How..." she breathed lightly, "how was that for a dance?"
The dragon's eyes narrowed and closed in pleasure, opened again, and he answered, "Wonderful, pleasant, jubilant...you humans have many words for one meaning." His deep voice belied his contentment, yet the note of youth in his tone was apparent even to the woman, who had little experience with dragons.
She reached a long arm back to brush her hair out of her face. "You are no less talented yourself. Shall we have another go at it? I could sing and dance all day."
His long tail thumped happily on the ground. "With the utmost pleasure."
She hopped up, long, colorful skirts swirling, and reached for the tambourine. It was a sight to behold, a small human whirling and jumping before the immense beast, who bellowed out his own tune in time to the sprightly dancing and beat of the tambourine. None would believe it except it was plain as daylight. None were there to share in it, save the two. Faster and faster the woman danced, and the tune of her instrument changed pace. The dragon's voice rose up and out from deep inside, his head turned to the sky, eyes closed in rapture, communing with a kind of magic that neither he nor his human guest understood. And neither did they need to.
After a time, both wordlessly felt the song come to an end, and the woman - for the first time in her life - nearly collapsed after a song and a dance. The tambourine fell and spun to the ground. The dragon's voice - not in the least exhausted - spun out one last, lonely tune, and fell silent. And there was, indeed, an utter silence afterwards. Not a bird chirped, no leaf rustled, no wind blew in the trees, but the sound of a nearby stream was ever-present.
The woman lied down, stretched out on the ground, not at all minding the hardness. As she caught her breath, she gazed up at the cloudless sky, now beginning to turn a pale pink with the sunset. The first star came out low in the sky, and the air grew colder. Both dragon and human were silent for what seemed a long time. Eventually the woman sat up, sighed a contented sigh, and looked at her fearsome companion. "I do not believe I ever thanked you, Great Beast." She didn't know the dragon's name, but he seemed unperturbed by the title.
He bowed his head in acknowledgement. "I am welcome of it, I think is the human's reply."
She smiled absentmindedly. "Were it not for you...I mean if you had not come when you did, I would surely be dead."
Her gratitude was apparent, and somehow without further words, they both understood that the matter was best left in the past where it belonged.
The dragon had rescued her from the very people she had been traveling with. Just as she had little experience with dragons, he in turn had very little experience with humans. Still, there were some things he knew about them, primarily thanks to his parents, who had told him a thing or two about the human race when he was younger. He had spotted a caravan while out flying, and knew instantly that a struggle was taking place, and he didn't need the piercing shout from the woman to tell him so. She was being held by two men, struggling to get free, while a third approached her with a hatchet and knife. It was a curious scene, but he descended upon them so swiftly that he barely had time to make any of it out. With a bellow, he swept down and seized the woman in his claws.
An older, wiser dragon would have known better, and probably would not have chosen to get caught in the affairs of men. The young one probably knew better himself, but for one reason or another, he chose to intervene and deliver what looked like an innocent person from the clutches of the rather rowdy-looking men. Needless to say, they had hollered and scattered when the dragon came down. The woman had not had time to do much else than scream as she was suddenly airbound.
When he had delivered her to safety (unbeknownst to her), it took a lot of convincing on the part of the dragon before she herself was truly convinced that he meant her no harm. Tales had reached even her ears of the ways of dragons, and she was loathe to give him the benefit of the doubt. But give it to him she did, of a time.
When, at last, she was more at ease, she had learned that the dragon meant only to save her life. He compelled her to tell him what had happened.
"They were my traveling companions," she had explained. "They got it into their heads that I had cheated them out of money, and they took to threatening me."
The dragon barely narrowed his eyes. "Did you?"
"No," she said honestly. "I did not. But I could not convince them. Our leader would have none of it, and told me that if I did not tell them the truth, then I was welcome to slither my way out of a confrontation with his knife." She seemed not to want to dwell on it, offended by the accusation, even if it had not been true. Strange to say, but human and dragon were somewhat fascinated with each other, even if they weren't aware of it.
One thing had led to another, until, for a moment or two, the woman had almost forgotten about her unfortunate experience earlier that day. It took nothing less than a first sight of a dragon to do so.
They came upon the topic of music, to which the dragon seemed especially interested, and the woman produced a tambourine somewhere within the folds of her skirt. She wasn't sure whether the dragon recognized the instrument or not, but his eyes brightened, his wings spread wide, and a deep, rumbling, musical sound came forth from his great lungs. The woman began to dance, and chant, and beat upon her tambourine. The two forms of music were so different from each other, yet they managed to mingle their forms harmoniously. The dragon's voice sang on, in time to the tambourine, and the woman let herself sink into that otherworldly haven that all sentient beings travel to, upon hearing that wonder known as music.
Human and dragon sat now, together, as night came on.
The woman finally stood up. "I must be off," she said. "It is dark, and now I have no clan to travel with..."
"It would be best if you stayed here until morning, when it is safer to travel."
She held his gaze, and then nodded. "Very well. A wise notion for sure, thank you, great beast. You have been so kind." Partly joking, but mostly serious, she swept her tambourine beneath her abdomen and elicited an elegant bow before her magnificent host.
When morning came, the woman left the dragon's lair without a sound or a word of goodbye. He knew she had left, for a dragon's senses never sleep, but he neither said a word nor lifted an eyelid.
'Luck to you, my musical friend,' he thought, and allowed himself to drift into a deep slumber. In his dreams, he continued to sing, while the strange woman danced and beat upon her tambourine.

38-year-old Shoaib got married secretly in a low profile 'nikaah' ceremony with Rubab, the lady love of his life, hailing from Haripur area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan.
Sans any media glare and high profile guests, the wedding took place in front of the bride and groom's parents and close relatives.
It is said that Rubab has three older brothers and a younger sister.
On Wednesday, Pakistani TV channel Duniya had reported that Akhtar married Rubab in a quiet Nikaah ceremony in Haripur.
"The haq mahar has been kept at half a million rupees and Akhtar's parents attended the simple nikah ceremony," the report said.
A source close to Akhtar confirmed that the fast bowler and his family had visited the girl's residence on June 12 where both families agreed on the wedding date.
Initially, Akhtar had denied reports that he was getting married to a girl chosen by his parents.
Shoaib, the fastest bowler had refuted media reports via microblogging site Twitter saying, "I would like to confirm that I'm not getting married to 17-year-old girl,there is absolutely no truth in the story being reported. If not me, atleast respect the girl! Totally False."

What is Conductive Keratoplasty (CK)?
CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) is a safe, non-laser procedure developed specifically for baby boomers who have had clear vision all their life, but now struggle to see life's details with reading glasses.
CK is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that involves no cutting of your cornea. It is the only FDA-approved technology for the temporary improvement of near vision. This makes it an ideal procedure for people over 40, for whom safety is often the most important factor in their decision to undergo a vision correction procedure.
Schedule now to meet Dr. Benjamin at your free consultation (online scheduling, 24 hours a day)!CALL NOW
to apply for your 24 month
interest free financing.310.507.7988
How is the Conductive Keratoplasty Performed?
Using radiofrequency (RF) energy, conductive keratoplasty can change how the eye focuses light by reshaping the cornea to make it steeper. After a topical anesthetic (eye drops) has been applied, controlled RF energy is applied in a circular pattern to shrink the corneal tissue. This pattern is applied in the periphery of your cornea and therefore minimizes interference with your line of sight (i.e., pupil). A device called a "speculum" holds your eye open during the procedure.
Once finished, you don't have to wear a patch and can usually return to work or normal activities the next day. Vision generally begins improving in about a week's time. As with other procedures, the level of improved vision may be temporary. While CK can turn back the clock on your vision, it cannot stop the clock entirely.
CK can also help patients with farsightedness, or hyperopia, a condition in which the eye is too flat. CK modifies the topographical (surface) curvature, making it steeper and therefore improving vision.
Risks and Complications from CK
CK is associated with a nominal amount of surgery-related complications. Some people who have had CK have experienced side effects that have impaired their vision for a few days after the procedure. Although these risks are relatively rare, they should be taken into consideration by anyone considering the CK procedure.
Potential Risks and Complications
- Discomfort and/or foreign body sensation
- Glare
- Halos
- Overcorrection
- Tearing
Is CK right for me?
CK is intended for people over 40 who want to improve their near vision and reduce their dependence on reading glasses. CK is not intended for people with myopia (nearsightedness). All patients considering vision correction should undergo a complete examination prior to the procedure.
You're likely a good candidate for CK if you:
- Are over age 40
- Had great vision your whole life
- Require reading glasses to compensate for fading near vision

Recently Jeff has been showing off his Lenovo T61p. He was having stacks of problems with his Toshiba A7 which was out of warranty and breaking down so he needed a new one.
Its a nice unit actually – scores really well in Vista's performance and reliability checks and runs Windows Server Virtualisation like a dream. Keith Combs got one too!
I have the same Toshiba A7 as Jeff does – its also starting to fail on me and doesn't support Windows Server virtualisation which is important so impressed with the stories I also ordered one. After I did that on the 31/10 I sent a followup email to ask the possible Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) date. No response after two days. So I send another email – please tell me when I can expect delivery? Still no response.
I'm thinking that this must be some sort of order email address and doesn't respond. So the next day I call Lenovo in Sydney on their 1300 number and ask about it. They tell me that they are consumer sales and not corporate sales and that they cant tell me. Arrgh. I call the Lenovo Sydney office directly and ask to be put through to the contact on the purchase order I submitted. It goes straight to voice mail and I leave a message asking them to call me back when they have a moment. No response.
The next day I'm talking to Andrew Coates about TechEd stuff and we get on the topic of these units as I know he's ordered one too. He tells me roughly the same story. He's had one on order for two weeks with no responses to ETA requests…I'm getting a bit frustrated…he's already frustrated…
The next day I try again and this time the nice and patient receptionist suggests to call the persons manager. Wow – I'm thinking surely he will respond. The call rings out and goes to his voicemail. I leave a message. No response.
The next day I call the consumer 1300 line again and ask for creative suggestions to find someone in Lenovo that knows where my order is. They give me a phone number to call. I call it. It rings out and I leave a voicemail and wait a day. No response.
****Updated 3:26pm Perth time****
After a whole bunch of escalating and phone calls now today Ive gotten onto the right person at Lenovo and found out a few things. I have to say he was great and told me that theres a hold up some of the T61p's due to DVD burner supplies. Ive also found that the email address I was sending email to was an order processing only email that should have auto responded to me what it was there for but didn't. On the last note I found that our internal procurement people hadnt updated Lenovo's details with the correct contact at Lenovo so my numerous calls were going to the wrong person – so it wasnt totally Lenovos fault after all. Arrghh….whew….what a day….cant wait to get the unit though. Im sure it will be awesome!


text: BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that El Norte S.A, one of the largest insurance companies in Argentina, will deploy PureSystems to improve their IT infrastructure and help speed the deployment of new customer facing applications. In addition, the company will use PureSystems to launch a new intranet portal to integrate IBM Connections social capabilities as well as an external site for greater social interaction with customers. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO ) The new PureSystems platform will support El Norte as it consolidates its existing servers and moves to an increasingly virtualized environment. PureSystems will also help provide increased data protection against external threats. El Norte recently introduced a new tool for online quote and issue requests for the automotive industry that allows customers to obtain "certificate of proposal" and "mandatory policy" certificates instantly. The company also updated its producer management system, which allows policy holders to complete an inquiries form and conduct other operations online. "We have been working with IBM since 1980, and when the time came to integrate our server, services, applications and resources we decided to implement PureSystems because we needed a unique centralized infrastructure," said Horacio Benedicto, manager of IT Infrastructure, El Norte Insurance Company. "We needed additional processing power and storage to unify a number of different technologies and prepare for future business growth." In addition to PureSystems, El Norte has added an integrated instant messaging environment based on Lotus/Domino to improve internal collaboration and unify all email platforms. The new environment will be combined with IBM Connections to help optimize internal communication and allow the creation of communities, wikis and blogs. "PureSystems help IT leaders to have more time and resources to invest in critical or strategic tasks," said Diego Rinaldi, Commercial Director of IBM Argentina. "The ease of use in PureSystems allows clients to integrate all of the elements of their infrastructure, both physical and virtual. This helps ensure a stable environment, with sufficient capacity to provide optimal performance and greater flexibility to adapt to the changing market dynamics." Based in San Francisco, Cordoba – El Norte has nine branches and a network of 600 business centers within Argentina, with additional commercial representatives located in Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil. Working with Business Partner Solutions Avnet Technology Argentina, IBM provided a solution composed of PureFlex, V7000 storage, switches, LAN / SAN redundancy scheme, UPS and perimeter security systems. Software includes IBM Lotus Notes / Domino, IBM Sametime, Connections and the IBM Customer Experience Suite.

LOS ANGELES -- With the San Francisco Giants leading 1-0 in the sixth inning and the ball zooming toward left field, Moises Alou started scrambling.
He made a diving catch in the alley, saving two runs and helping San Francisco extend its winning streak to six games with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.
"He came out of nowhere and made a Superman catch," Giants starter Brad Hennessey said. "It was a huge game saver."
Julio Ramirez scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error by third baseman Mike Edwards in the eighth inning to help the second-place Giants keep climbing in the NL West.
"We didn't look like a team that was going to make a move like that," Giants manager Felipe Alou said. "I got to give the guys credit."
The Giants trail idle San Diego by five games. The third-place Dodgers fell 7½ games behind the Padres, losing their fourth in a row.
Before the game, Barry Bonds reunited with the Giants, taking batting practice and testing his throwing arm.
"We'll see what happens in the next couple of days," Felipe Alou said.
Bonds, recovering from three operations on his right knee since Jan. 31, said he didn't know when he would return to the lineup.
"It's day by day right now, get through today and see how I turn out," he said.
The Giants defense executed double plays in five of the first seven innings. The one in the sixth was preceded by Alou's catch of Jeff Kent's fly ball, with runners on first and second.
"I didn't think I was going to get there. I had to dive hard to reach it," he said. "It's one of the best ones I ever made."
Moises made his father proud.
"I never made a play like that myself in all the years I played," the elder Alou said.
Oscar Robles led off the sixth with a single to left that Alou blamed on himself.
"I should've been playing shallow," he said. "I was a little upset they got that single, so I had an opportunity to make up for it."
LaTroy Hawkins (2-5) earned the victory despite facing one batter and giving up the game-tying sacrifice fly to pinch-hitter Ricky Ledee. Hawkins came on with the bases loaded and one out. Ledee's fly ball to center scored Jose Cruz Jr., but Jayson Werth was thrown out trying to advance to third.
Armando Benitez pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
Reliver Yhency Brazoban (2-8) took the loss, giving up one run and one hit.
Ramirez was running for pinch-hitter Lance Niekro, who led off the eighth with a single. Randy Winn sacrificed Ramirez to second, J.T. Snow walked with two outs and Alou followed with a grounder to third. Edwards fielded the ball in the hole and threw wildly past second baseman Kent, allowing Ramirez to score.
"We have some young players out there, and to expect them to perform night in and night out like a seasoned veteran would play, that's asking a little much," Dodgers manager Jim Tracy said. "You can ill afford to make the kind of mistakes that we made and set up opportunities for them to score runs."
San Francisco took a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly by Yamid Haad in the fifth. It was his first major-league RBI.
Ray Durham led off the ninth with a double off Steve Schmoll and scored the Giants' third run on a double steal.
Hennessey allowed one run and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, struck out two and walked three.
Dodgers starter Derek Lowe gave up one run and four hits in seven innings, struck out a season-high eight and walked one. The right-hander retired his first 11 batters before giving up a single to Snow with two outs in the fourth.
"We couldn't do enough for him offensively and we made some miscues defensively that led to every run they scored," Tracy said. "One run is very difficult to win with and that's all we got."
Lowe was hit near his right foot by Durham's single in the fifth. He then struck out Pedro Feliz, but left fielder Jose Valentin misplayed Todd Linden's single, allowing Durham to advance to third and Linden to second. Haad flied to center, scoring Durham.
"It's a team game," Lowe said. "It wasn't like Valentin was trying to let the ball go through his legs to see how far it would roll past him. Things like that happen."
- The Giants' five double plays tied a club record for a nine-inning game.
- The announced crowd of 34,871 pushed the Dodgers' attendance past the 3 million mark for a major league-record 20th time. They reached the mark in their 66th home game, the quickest in franchise history. It's the 10th straight season the Dodgers have surpassed 3 million.
- The Dodgers are 27-25 playing on Labor Day since moving to Los Angeles.
- The Giants lead the season series 7-6.
- Giants OF Dan Ortmeier singled for his first major-league hit in the eighth as a pinch hitter.

RED JACKET — " A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal." – Steve Maraboli
It has been a week since the rain and wind fell upon Wild and Wonderful. Thousands were left homeless, 23 people lost their lives, and a Federal Disaster has been declared by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. Many lives were affected, each one individually stood out as a disaster all it's own. Neighbors, family, and friends lost everything, even the small things that are over-looked in natural life.
In a sincere and passionate gesture, the cheerleading program of Mingo Central High School (MCHS) has done more than they ever believed possible in an effort to help neighboring schools and communities affected by the flooding that ravaged the West Virginia landscape and the lives of those who cherish sustenance from her love. Everyone , upon witnessing the news, held a heavy heart for those affected by the flooding. That small spark of compassion felt in Mingo County aggregated into an effort that has far surpassed any expectations. Head Cheerleading Coach Wendy Cisco explained the whole experience as "eye-opening," and "spiritually fulfilling."
"We all watched the events unfold and we waited for the final totals of just how bad everything was. We all know flooding in this area and we know how bad it can be. We all just wished there was something we could do. The collection efforts began, myself and the girls decided we would do something to. We never dreamed it would become this big and we would get this much support," said Cisco.
Throughout the week, the MCHS cheerleaders have been collecting supplies and donations at various sites around the community as a medium for others to join the relief efforts. The MCHS Cheerleaders got in contact with the faculty of Herbert Hoover High School located in Clendenin, W.Va. and arranged a meet-up to bring the supplies and donations to a relief station at the school.
The girls were able to gather three trailers worth of supplies to send to the site. from cleaning products, to food, to toiletries, to anything that may help those affected get back into the swing of life.
"This has been entirely volunteer; the girls and the people who have helped have done all of this out of kindness," said Cisco. Cisco continued by saying, "Everyone here at the school has helped in one way or another; from the faculty to the other sporting programs, to parents, to fans, to just everyone coming together to help support this. I have been amazed at the amount of support we have received from the communities and just everyone."
The dream of helping everyone was precious, but much like the events that inspired the dream; reality produced adversity.
In short notice, the team realized there was more to do than just collect necessities. They had to acquire transportation for all of the supplies, they had to acquire a bus to transport the girls to Clendenin to help unload the supplies, they had amassed a mountain of responsibility to care for. None of this was easy during the off-season of school.
The MCHS cheerleaders decided to forego the last week of the three week conditioning period and focus their efforts on getting this done."This was much more important to us, it didn't seem right to just continue our lives as usual as others stayed in devastation," said Cisco.
With the help of MCHS Principal Teresa Jones, the team was able procure a bus to transport the cheerleaders to Clendenin, they were able to gather support from the community from individuals who would haul the supplies to the site, and they were able to gather donations from multiple outlets to make sure they had enough funds to get there. The procurement of the bus was a tricky thing to accomplish during the middle of summer when most board of education members were on a break.
Despite adversity, the team was able to pull everything together and head out of Mingo County on a mission early Wednesday morning.
The cheerleaders wanted to give a special thank you to Donald Sanson of Food City for giving them a place to collect supplies and donations in the Williamson area for people who couldn't make it to the days they collected at Mingo Central High School. A special thank you to Wes Wilson was also in order for his help and support throughout the ordeal. The New Town Church of God gave a sizable donation that needed to be singled out and Danny Michaels and his church organization was helpful in what Cisco called, "So many ways."
Jokingly, Cisco said the most surprising aspect of the events was that, "the girls haven't complained once." The girls left their pom-poms in Mingo County to help lift spirits in the areas affected by the flooding.
The damage created by the storm is not something that can fixed, many people lost everything. The cheerleaders were not able fix the lives of those affected, but they collected enough supplies and donations to make a big difference in the effort to relieve these victims, and they offered the most precious item of all, compassion, time, and effort; they offered love.

WILLIAMSON – At Thursday's Williamson City Council meeting, council denied a request for Williamson Police officers to be allowed to take police cruisers home.
Williamson Police Chief, Barry Blair made the request on behalf of the police department. Blair requested that if the council would not agree to allow all officers to take cruisers home, to consider allowing the officers that reside within city limits to take cruisers home.
Blair approached the council stating, "I would like to ask the council to consider a request that the council give our cruisers back to us or at least give the officers that live in the city of Williamson their vehicle back … If something happened, they would be ready to respond." Currently, only two officers reside within Williamson City limits.
Hamrick responded stating, "I don't think we should make any significant changes until after the first quarter has passed so that we can look and see how our budget is doing …"
Councilman York Smith made a motion to approve allowing the two officers that reside in Williamson to take their cruisers home stating, "I make the motion. Look at how much is going on today about the policeman. People don't respect them anymore and it's sad. It is going to get worse … Our firemen and policemen are important to us."
Williamson Mayor Robert Carlton reminded Blair that the city must follow state overtime laws. Blair explained that allowing the officers to take the cruisers home would not increase overtime because the officers would not be on call. According to Blair, allowing the officers that reside within the city to take cruisers home would increase response time in an emergency situation.
"My point is not for them to be on call. My point is to allow those officers to take their vehicles home," Blair stated.
"They live in the city of Williamson. If it was an emergency and they were needed as backup, it would allow them to respond and not have to drive to the station and find a car. They could leave immediately from their home to go to the call. I'm not asking for them to be on call. If we have a severe emergency we could call them and maybe get a hold of them," Blair stated.
Following discussion, a second was not made to the motion and the request for officers to take cruisers home was denied.

The Fourth MemberMature
"Phoenix, it's Personna."
"I hear you."
"Good, I don't know how much longer that'll last. Jammers have been going hot all over the city."
"Personna, I thought this place is demilitarized."
"I thought so too! Any word on Shard?"
I looked over a wall on the top of a two story building, overlooking a bar. Inside, one guy drinking after closing hours, sitting on a stool.
I responded "Yeah, I think I've found him."
Personna asked "How did you find him?"
I quickly replied "Geographical profiling, it's literally an equation that will tell you the most likely spot a person will visit. I had to re-arrange the hell out of it, looking at every place he's been. He seems to have at least a basic understanding of how to avoid profiling."
"Where did you learn that?!" Personna asked, surprised.
"I used to have a friend in a Criminal Profiling Unit. I'll be able to walk right in and talk to him. At least that's the plan, he could be drunk" I snapped. If my profile's right on this guy, then I should be able to just walk in. Probably shouldn't tell him about the vaccine, this guy doesn't look too much like an idealist.
Personna seethed over the com "I take it you haven't profiled me?"
"I think I will now after you booked a room with one bed." I shut my com of, grinning.
I stood up and walked to a ladder, climbing of the roof. I walked across the street and into the bar. Two people were inside, ones back turned to me. The other cleaned glasses behind a counter. Uneasy, I fingered my pistol. I sat on a stool beside him. The AC unit looked broken, the place certainly seems way too hot.
I tapped the mans shoulder and he looked at me, the stench of alcohol coming of his breath. I stated "It's nice seeing you Shard."
Shard gulped down some beer, eyes boring into my forehead. He whispered "I knew you would be here. I also know you aren't government, obviously. If you're here, it must benefit me."
I laughed "If you knew I'd be here, you wouldn't have waited for me to arrive, not knowing if I was working for the UN, where you used to work."
Shard turned on his stool and growled "Some habits die hard. What do you want?"
I looked over his drunken state, ignoring his rank breath. Yeah, he's a mess, but he'll do.
I replied "I want to hire you, 200,000, a place to hide and a way to clear your name. No one high up enough will even know enough about you to ever come after you again."
Shard asked "I take it there's a downside?"
"We need someone who can fight in combat. Someone talented enough, to protect us from Special Forces Units. When we find out what we need to know, I will pay you and you can go free."
Shard grinned and asked "I need to know how long getting this info will take you. Plus... it would make sense to hire someone who had a grudge against the UN. That is who you're fighting, right?"
My eyes opened a bit wider. He could reason pretty good for being this drunk. Shard tapped my shoulder and stated "Well... they're coming."
I yelled "Are you serious?! You couldn't mention this before hand?!"
Shard fell of his stool and shakily stood up. He mumbled "Yeah, I got a way out. I'm always ahead of these guys."
I shook my head and asked "How are we getting out?!"
The wall broke open, a vehicle flying through. Bricks slowly spun across the room. I started to run, but everything felt unnaturally slow. The vehicle rammed into the counter, now in full view as an armoured transport. Shard stumbled forwards and put his thumb on the door. It clicked open and he slammed the door open, throwing the driver out. He kicked the man out sitting beside the driver. The back door of the transport opened, soldiers would soon be spilling out. I jumped into the transport, thanking the fact that the drivers cab is always seperated from the troops in the back in this model. Shard drove backwards, the vehicle swaying back and forth. I tapped his shoulder and asked "Shouldn't I be driving?!"
Shard replied "No, I always know what I'm doing!"
The transport sped of down the road, bullets pinging of the tires.

I'm such a huge fan of Ellen Pompeo. I first saw her on Grey's Anatomy and have been a huge fan ever since. Grey's is my all time favorite show and Meredith is my all time favorite character! She gets such difficult storylines and always manages to give brilliant performances. She is the Grey in Grey's Anatomy!!
She is also so pretty, she looks so sweet and i seriously love her hair!!
She shines on Grey's and always delivers amazing performances. I still can't get over her performance in "Some Kind Of Miracle". That was definitely not an easy thing to do and she was absolutely amazing!! She has that ability to really connect with audiences; when she cries it makes the audience want to cry, when she laughs it makes the audience laugh. Overall, she is a brilliant, talented and gorgeous actress and I love her in Grey's Anatomy!

pos system great, good coworkers
Very busy, under staffed, duties can be overwhelming
I have been working at Target part-time (More than a year)
flexible schedule
fun people to work with
cool management
as any other retail stores, no weekends off but can ask for time off
I have been working at Target full-time (More than a year)
Target is a great company with a good scheduling system. Going into retail was a little scary for me at first because I thought I was going to be working all the time with no time for myself. However, they take the work/life balance thing very seriously. I off every other weekend and during the week my days off rotate between two different days so it makes it easy for me to plan things I might have going on outside of work. In addition, the company does not allow us to take work home, skip our breaks, or even talk about work during that time. It is nice that there are still employers out there that don't believe that work should be your life!
Also, having a degree actually means something here. I was hired at $4 more per hour for a position that someone without a degree would be hired at. I also have the ability to promote in the future where as they would not.
Target has a pretty strict "no promotion" rule for your first 12 months with the company. The reason I have listed this as a "con" is because with a degree I could have been hired as an Executive Team Leader however, when I applied there were no ETL openings. Within the first six months there was an ETL availability that was given to a new applicant that was just graduating college. I would have loved to take the opportunity but because of their rule, I was not considered.
Advice to Management
I would try to make it a point to treat your newer, younger management team with a little more respect and encouragement. Otherwise, you run the risk of loosing them to other companies and starting the training process all over again. Over time, you'll have a better shot at having a stronger, more experienced time this way.

Door ThreeMature
You open the door only to find it closing on you with utter silence. Chills run down your back as you stare off into nothing. The darkness consumes you and there are only glimmers of light. You back up against the wall hoping that there is a light switch or something.
Your hands wander around and you finally find a switch! A spark of hope lights your path, but once you flick the switch, you wish you hadn't.
The light revealed obstacles that you must over come. You see a key at the end of the dangerous path and you're determined to cross, but at the same time fear begins to slowly crawl through you from head to toe. You debate on weather or not to take a step forward or not, but then again... you have no choice.

Federal Reserve policymakers are widely expected to vote this week to reduce their aggressive bond buying program, but how they'll do so — and who will lead the central bank next year — loom over the market.
Mixed signals on the health of the economy have Fed watchers predicting a $5 billion-$15 billion initial cut from the current $85 billion a month at the two-day meeting ending Wednesday.
Keith Hembre, chief economist at Nuveen Asset Management, who expects a pullback of $10 billion to $15 billion, said he's also looking for "some sort of softer language on the unemployment threshold given that it's largely been falling participation that's been pushing it down."
The Fed has said it won't hike interest rates until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5%. While the official jobless rate dipped to 7.3% in September, that largely reflects people leaving the labor force.
Fed In A Corner?
Yet the economy's signposts seem to matter little with the market so primed for a pullback, said Jeffrey Rosen, an economist with Briefing.com.
Treasury yields have jumped more than a full percentage point since early May in anticipation of Fed tapering.
"They put themselves in a corner where they're going to have to do something," Rosen said. "I think $5 billion is the least they can do."
With the economy still struggling to add jobs, however, Rosen added: "Economically, I think it's a silly move. I don't see where the fundamentals say they should be tightening at all."
Analysts and investors are hoping for guidance from the Fed beyond its initial steps. Chairman Ben Bernanke has indicated that the Fed expects to stop buying bonds by mid-2014, but that's con tingent on higher employment and stronger economic growth.
Hembre said he wants to know what the "taper path" will be. "How do we get from here to there?" he asked.
The "how" will depend greatly on the answer to another big question: Who will take over the Fed when Bernanke's term runs out at the end of January?
Summers Out
Lawrence Summers, Clinton-era Treasury secretary and former economic adviser to President Obama, unexpectedly bowed out Sunday from consideration for Fed chairman. Several Democratic senators had signaled they would oppose his nomination.
Stocks initially rallied Monday on the exit of Summers, who had been perceived as less dovish, meaning he would support a faster tapering pace and rate hikes than Bernanke. The major averages pulled back to close mixed. Treasury yields ended slightly down after falling hard early.
With Summers out, that makes current Vice Chairman Janet Yellen a shoo-in for the job, most economists believe.
Eric Green, global head of rates, FX and commodity research at TD Securities, said Obama needs the support of his Democratic base for looming battles with Republicans over the budget and debt ceiling.
"I think she can make the tough decisions," Green said. "What you will see over the coming weeks is a Yellen who appears far less dovish than everyone expects. That doesn't change who she is."
Yellen has been a vocal proponent of the Fed's quantitative easing policies. She also brings a background of scholarly work in employment issues, an important credential when hiring remains sluggish.
Other possibilities include ex-Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn and ex-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, though the latter reportedly has said he doesn't want the job.
But with two Fed governors leaving and the annual shift in voting members, putting Yellen in charge would signal policy continuity, Rosen said.
"There isn't any other candidate right now. This is it. I don't see (Obama) going outside the box."

Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.
Riders of Icarus
Take the battle to the sky with fantastical flying mount combat unlike anything you've seen before in Riders of Icarus, the new unprecedented action-adventure MMORPG experience that lets you ride and fight on the back of the realm's most dangerous winged beasts… dragons.
