Part VI: Animal Bones
So I'm going to tell my journey in medias res, beginning with a turning point at a Southern Baptist commune in rural Georgia when I was 22 years old and discovered I could no longer be Christian.
First came the Fundamentalists
The thing is, they were actually very nice fundamentalists. They were good, kind, compassionate people doing humanitarian work in the world, with a particular calling to refugee resettlement work. They were actively working to become the best, most righteous and loving people they could be.
I suppose their only failing was that they'd lost the ability to think critically about that process or about their religion.
They were fervently committed to surrendering all their pride and greed and willfulness to God, replacing their own will with God's will, their own truth with God's truth, and they turned primarily to the Bible for guidance in finding that truth. And this put them, at the deepest core of their being, in close company not primarily with other good, kind humanitarians, but with other Bible-believing Christians. I mean, sure, there was some overlap between the two groups. A lot of overlap. A great many Christians are inspiring examples of humanitarian compassion.
But where they didn't overlap—where Christians occasionally came down on the side of bigotry and hate, and the humanitarians had the misfortune to have come from other faiths—their loyalty was clear: God's truth, not our truth; God's love, not our love.
This should not have thrown me as much as it did. I came to this Southern Baptist intentional community as a liberal high-church Episcopalian and as a vegetarian organic gardener at Oberlin College, one of the most persistent remaining strongholds of the countercultural values of the sixties.
I should have just gone back.
Instead, I listened to what the fundamentalists said. I don't mean I took it all in unquestioningly or uncritically, but I listened very deeply. I looked at their arguments. I re-read the Bible through their eyes. I was shocked and horrified at a lot of what I found there, but I could not deny seeing it once it was pointed out to me.
Next came the brainwashing
And it wasn't even meant to be brainwashing. Like I said, these were very nice fundamentalists. There wasn't any autocratic leader living high on the hog by exploiting his followers; they genuinely functioned as a community, giving according to ability and taking only according to need and making decisions (at least among the permanent members) through a process that probably wasn't very far off from Quaker corporate discernment.
They never set out to brainwash anybody.
There are places in the human psyche that few of us ever explore. I've never been to outer space, but I've read about weightlessness enough to know that there are predictable experiences that the human body and mind will undergo in that condition.
At age 22, I had never lived in a commune, but I'd read about them enough to know there are some predictable experiences there, too. I remember a line from a textbook in a course in Christian Utopias and Communitarian Movements that I took at Oberlin, where a hippie in a 60's commune said something like, "Man, you're all inside my head and it's freaking me out!" Reading it, the year before my own experience with intentional community, my reaction was, Wow, that sounds really interesting. I wonder what that would be like?
That summer, in the thick of it, the sensation was almost physical. My interpretation of Christianity was being remade through the intensity of the communal experience in a fundamentalist setting, and it almost felt like fingers inside my skull, probing down into the sulci of my brain.
I should have just gone home. The problem was I didn't really have a spiritual home.

Sofie Bio Seeks to Speed PET Probe Synthesis with SBIR Grant
The NIH has awarded Sofie Biosciences a roughly $1.8 million SBIR grant to support the development of digital chip technology for the synthesis of PET probes for neurobiology applications. The three-year grant will be administered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
According to the company, by developing a point-of-care radiosynthesizer that integrates the many unit operations for synthesis, purification, and quality control into a benchtop, affordable device, access to the vast library (3,000+) of PET probes will be facilitated. Currently a major roadblock to using PET is the expensive equipment and specialized personnel required.
The SBIR award will augment the company's internal R&D investment, allowing it to accelerate the commercialization of a microfluidic-based radiosynthesizer for synthesizing PET probes on-demand for brain imaging and other applications.

NOLA - 'Flip the Script'
Created by Gentlemen Scholar, this smooth typographical piece really caught our attention. The style of the newspaper, with textures and images overlaid give a nice, almost rough feel about it.
'Using type to tell a story, we created a visual narrative helping to shed some positive light on some overwhelmingly negative headlines in NOLA.'
Slick and smooth! Great work.

"Had these made with my daughters name on them to send to people when she receives gifts. They came out lovely! Great card stock quality too! Very happy with them."
"I loved the quality of these cards. Everything came before the estimated delivery date. The cards had envelopes. I would buy from tinyprints again!"
"My favorite site to have fun creating personalized products. I wanted a fun thank you card as a follow up to my dog's first birthday! Submitted a picture from her party to be featured on the cards! So easy to order and the preview feature at the site always let's me know exactly what I am creating. Good quality card stock and excellent quality of photo reproduction. Order arrived quickly even with standard shipping. That's why I have come back to Tiny Prints for Christmas cards and stationery as well. Would highly recommend Tiny Prints to others."
"I never thought I'd be sending out so many thank you notes after having a baby. These are great, simple notes that include the baby's picture and signature on the bottom. I get tons of compliments on them. The paper quality is great!"
"These thank yous are just adorable. I actually bought a different design than I had for the shower invites (same "jungle" theme) because these were just a cuter card than what matched my invites. I love them, they're cheerful and neutral (great for those of us who aren't figuring out boy or girl!). Cards are a good weight and the process was nice and easy."

Chris Wormley writes classy thank you letter in The Michigan Daily
Possible New DB Target
Scout posted a player's picture on Twitter with the headline "new 2017 defensive back target for #Michigan." So while I don't have Scout I decided to do a little sleuthing. Here's the tweet:
Here's what I have learned. His name is Ifeatu Melifonwu and he's a lightly scouted athlete from Grafton, MA currently commited to Syracuse. His brother Obi was a star safety at UConn where he led the team in tackles last year as a senior.
Ifeatu was recruited as a safety at Syracuse. I can't find any mentions of him participating in any camps but the image above suggests he did. Here are the vitals listed on Hudl:

Shrine game practice reports of Michigan players
Ivie used a spin move to get some penetration against Michigan's Erick Magnuson, but Magnuson recovered to stop Ivie from getting to the quarterback marker. Still, Ivie took away the ability for a quarterback to step up in the pocket on that rush
While Kalis had that ugly play against Brown, he's had a solid couple of days. He is a well-rounded interior blocker who fights hard at the point of attack. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection, but Kalis (6-5, 305) has the talent to develop into a starting competitor at guard as a mid-round pick.
Michigan running back De'Veon Smith ran well on Tuesday, but he did have a fumble during the 11-on-11 running scrimmage.
One of the best players at the East-West Shrine this week has been Michigan running back De'Veon, Smith and he had a tremendous practice on Wednesday. In the linebacker vs. running back passing game one-on-ones Smith smocked Villanova linebacker Austin Calitro on a couple of reps. The last being an out route as he set up Calitro running straight at him, catching the linebacker flat-footed, and then beating him to the flat to get wide open.
Smith was superb in the team scrimmage. He ran an excellent wheel route to beat two defenders down the sideline for a potential long gain, but an inaccurate pass led to an incompletion. Smith followed that up by doing a great job in pass protection, as his right tackle was beaten quickly off the snap. Smith saw the end coming and threw his body into the chest to slow up the lineman and give his quarterback time to throw the ball. Both his route and the blocking earned Smith some a lot of praise from the coaching staff. In the team scrimmage, he also broke off a few chunk runs, weaving his way through defenders with quickness, balance, and vision.
Scouting sources told WalterFootball.com that Smith could be the best offensive prospect on the East team, and he has had a tremendous week to help his draft stock. If there is an injury or an opening for the Senior Bowl, don't be surprised if Smith gets called up.
Michigan safety Dymonte Thomas had a quality pass breakup coming over the top to slap a pass away.
Louisville defensive tackle DeAngelo Brown (6-0, 310) had some nice bull rushes in the one-on-ones. He has a real burst off the snap and he was even more impressive in the 11-on-11 team scrimmage. On one play, Brown was like bowling ball going through the offensive line to get a tackle for a loss on a zone run to the right. A few plays later, he bull-rushed through Michigan's Kyle Kalis to get what could have been a sack in an actual game. Brown is undersized, but he has burst to him with a strong lower body and natural pad level.
Florida State wide receiver Kermit Whitfield had a mixed day on Tuesday. On the plus side, his speed was giving defensive backs real problems. He burned Michigan safety Dymonte Thomas on a corner post route for a long touchdown and other defenders struggled to run with the fast Whitfield. However, North Carolina State Jack Tocho (6-0, 200) easily slapped away a 50-50 pass over the undersized Whitfield (5-8, 178). Whitfield also had a drop after getting open across the middle of the field. Whitfield is a speed mismatch, but he will have to compete to be a gadget player, given his size.
Mississippi State linebacker Richie Brown has played well in both practices. He is a tough run defender and also is respectable in zone coverage. Brown stayed around the ball in the team scrimmage to get an interception after Michigan safety Lano Hill made a nice play to deflect the pass into the air. Early in his career, Brown could start out as a backup linebacker and special teams contributor. In time, he could challenge to compete for a starting position.

A Further Description and How His Life Became Indebted to Me
It wasn't an obvious thing…not really. Anyone could excuse his love for gore as just being a typical teenage boy.
He voice was rough and full of angst; not at all the way their voices are usually described. So, forgive me for not realizing it at once.
There was a certain jauntiness to his walk, as though his mind could change in the blink of an eye. And it often did.
"So, Evie," he started, when I had flung open my front door to find him there. "You've found me out." He simply stated it. Didn't yell, didn't whisper. He just said it void of all emotion.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Alex." He fingered his pierced nose.
"Don't be coy with me!" His hand caught the door as it began to close. "If you value your life, Evie White, you will not tell a soul."
"I'm not going to tell anyone," I swallowed. "But you may want to step inside before that silver bullet hits you."

The Case for Live Music
The English guitarist Robert Fripp, who founded the band King Crimson back in 1969, says that a record is like a love letter; a live concert is like a hot date. When he then asks, "which would you rather have?" it seems a very rhetorical question indeed.
Of course, a love letter can be something you treasure forever (or for as long as you remember where you filed that special Password-Protected Folder in your Inbox), because it says what it's supposed to say. A hot date, on the other hand, can go very, very wrong. I'm talking court-records-sealed, financial-settlement-imposed wrong. (Actually I'm not talking at all, on the advice of counsel.)
The Beatles may have known what they were doing when they gave up live performances to make their studio magic. And lots of music is made these days in the studio, for the studio, by artists who perhaps are still learning the craft of playing live. Even classical music, edited to sound exactly the way the conductor wants it, sounds great on disc. But nothing can equal the sound of a live orchestra. In a good hall, with a good conductor, you hear the music in your body, not just your ears. And punk rock was always about the energy of the live performances – the records were kind of calling cards to get you to the show. I also think most improvised music – from jazz to ragas to Phish, and a lot of modernist classical music (Elliott Carter, Morton Feldman, Iannis Xenakis), simply doesn't come alive except when you hear it and feel it live.
For the last century, humans have had – for the first time in our history as a species – the opportunity to enjoy music without having to hear it played live. This is a major convenience, and the only way most of us can possibly keep up with whatever artists or styles we're interested in. A quiet night at home with the Chopin Nocturnes or a Friday night party with a favorite iTunes playlist can be great experiences. But they are not the whole of the musical experience.
Having produced and hosted the New Sounds Live concert series since 1986, I can tell you that when a crowd is really into it, the band knows it – feels it – and something happens that elevates that concert into a special event. I've seen it; I've felt it onstage – but the concert tapes, as good as they are, simply can't capture that whatever that "something" is.
Is live music essential, or can recordings do the job for you? Leave a comment.

The Tennessee Titans were destroyed 55-7 by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and the team's latest brutal loss may cost head coach Mike Munchak his job. Titans owner Bud Adams said on Sunday he was so disgusted by the game that he turned off the TV before the game ended. He also sounded like a man prepared to fire Munchak. "I like Mike, I really do," Adams told The Tennesseean Sunday. "But liking him and getting the job done are two different things," Adams said. "If he is not getting the job done, that is what I have to find out. Right now, we are not looking very good. Something is wrong and I want to find out what the problem is and what needs to be done to fix it." The Titans are rebuilding with second-year player Jake Locker at quarterback. Locker was 13-for-30 for 140 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Adams says the offensive line was problematic. "[Locker] didn't have a chance," Adams said. "They were on him like a dog on a cat. He was kind of fighting for his life." Adams told The Tennesseean he plans to talk with Munchak and the front office after the season before making any decisions. He wants to find out what Munchak thinks is wrong with the team. He also says he hears complaints from fans and empathizes with them. "I'll be 90 years old on my next birthday on January 3. I am in good health, but it is a chore to fly up to Nashville and when I get up there I don't like to see them play poorly. The fans are not happy with me. I need to figure out what I need to do to make things work and see if changes need to be made." Munchak heard about Adams' comments, and he hopes the owner will show patience with the team. "You can't lose perspective of the fact that sometimes it takes a little longer to build something than one season or a season-and-a-half," Munchak said Monday, per The Tennessean. "We've had one offseason here since I have been head coach, so we haven't had a lot of time with the players. We have a short period of time to fix it, but I feel very confident that we will. "But I feel good about how we are going to get there, and it will be up to Mr. Adams to see if he agrees with me." You may recall that Adams put the entire organization on notice last month following the team's embarrassing 51-20 home loss to the Bears. Between that defeat and this one, I think we know which direction Adams is leaning. Get ready to return to assistant coach life, Munch.

Reasonable price then, Better price now 07/30/2012
This review is from: ThinkPad Laptop Edge E530 (32597AU) Intel Core i5 2nd Gen 2450M (2.50 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
Very well equipped, better than Lenovo currently offers to build. Just the features I need at reasonable cost. I'd like to have waited the 3 weeks save $20 + $20 on service contract.
DVD burner took a few tries to function properly. The backup goes to an additional partition "Q" but since it's on the HDD, I take no chance & back up to a flash drive. Some models have an additional mSATA but as far as I can tell not this one.
Other Thoughts:
I really like the touch pad even though it took a while to become accustom. Much more comprehensive than the very few others I've used. And of course the anti-glare led back-lit display is indispensable. Not to worrying about Too Much or too little ambient light. Business oriented app straight out of IBM is useful. Good Luck; so many to choose from!

i don't know what to tell you.
you are wont to wander and i am no such thing
sharp, you are not soft-edged the way you are when you cry
you blur my borders and press your hands to my wounds
i can't tell if you're trying to stem the bleeding or eliciting more pain
and when i touch you
my hands just go right through
transparent but somehow insubstantial
like you're a broken glass bottle
glittering like false diamonds
your arms are a bracing circlet
steel and down
light but strong around my shoulders and across my back
i know the way our bodies meet better than i know myself
because your hugs are safety
and i am never safe these days
something's gotta give
but i'm willing to wait until we reach the breaking point
always have been
and maybe that's my problem
but you are starlit roads and airports so early in the morning they aren't even real
and i don't know how to put you into words
because you slip my grasp and twist from descriptions
nothing matches you,
vibrant and alive
but someone like me can't keep someone like you for long
your wanderings call eventually
and you will answer
and i will not.
the day you leave me was never in doubt -
always a when, never an if.

text: Fulfil your trusts Posted on August 7, 2011 by Mufti Faraz al-Mahmudi Google+0Twitter0Facebook0Respected mufti sahib spoke regarding the verse of the Surah an-nisa, "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing." We confine our concept and thinking of trusts to monetary substance only. Whereas Allah the almighty uses the word amaanaat, which means trusts. In essence, the ideology and spirit of islam is encompassed within this very verse. Allah is ordering us to fulfil and execute all obligations, to give everyone their right which they are entitled to. A husband is being addressed to render the trust of giving the wife her rights, likewise the wife is being admonished to fulfil the rights of the husband. A member of parliament is being ordered to comply with the legitimate needs of his constituents. Parents are being told to execute the trust of nurturing their children in the best possible manner. Performing the worship of Allah is a trust which we need to render with perfectness. The above are just a few examples. We learn that Allah is ordering us to give everyone their right. Rights are a trust, by failing to honour these rights, one will be guilty of committing treachery and betrayal.

Name: Chaz Hebert
Position: Pitcher
DOB: September 4, 1992
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
"The year went really well, I was very pleased with how the year went," he said. "I started out in Spring Training and I was doing pretty good and throwing my hardest in Spring Training, and then I wound up going out with a little elbow tendonitis.
"I was out for a while with that but I came back strong and I finished off the year really good, better than I expected."
The numbers were fantastic -- a 2.52 ERA with just four walks in 25 innings and compiling 30 strikeouts along the way. While the numbers were very impressive, it was the tangible results with his overall game that has him very excited for the future.
"I improved my control, a lot of my mechanics, and especially my offspeed pitches," he said. "I came [into the year] with a fastball and somewhat of a changeup, and a very loopy curveball, but towards the end of the season my changeup was one of my best pitches and my curveball, especially at Instructs, [it got harder]."
The first big adjustment made was advancing his changeup from more of a show-me pitch to an actual out-pitch in one short season.
"The coaches, just working hard everyday in the pen and figuring out what I was doing wrong -- they were coaching me out there and they know what they are doing.
"I just got a better feel for it, a better downward angle, let it come out of my hand. I got a lot of practice on it. Everyday working on it I was able to come around on it.
"The arm speed is the same [as it was before]. It just didn't really do much. It had a weird spin on it [in the beginning] and now it has that four-seam fastball spin and right before it gets to home plate it dives.
"It just slows down dramatically and dives down. When I first got it down, I had no idea where it came from."
The much improved fade and sink with his changeup didn't affect his control over it either, but it wasn't the only big difference in his game. His curveball became a vastly improved pitch by season's end and into the offseason too.
"I'm really excited. The curveball I had before, you could see it," he admitted. "It was just a big loop. Now I was throwing [the new one] to these hitters at Instructs and they timed it up but at the last second it would just drop and they were swinging right through it.
"I can control it a lot better. I remember throwing it 0-2 for a called strike. I just have a much better feel for it. I just snap my hands -- I love it. It's so much better than the loopier one.
"It's hard now. They can time it up but at that last second it drops down. Everything looks the same now.
"My changeup looks the same as my four-seam [fastball], my curveball looks the same as my fastball, and I have my fastball. I think I'm going to be a much better pitcher going into next year and I'm really excited for it."
He still has a very projectable body too, one which could put on more useful muscle mass in the coming years, and that is an encouraging sign for a young pitcher whose entire game has come a very long way in a short period of time.
"I'd say I'm a lot different pitcher. Again, I had great coaching. Everyday we were working on something new. I'm just able to pick up the things very quickly.
"I went into Instructs [in 2011] not throwing that much slower but I didn't have the correct mechanics. I was falling all over everywhere and I looked at the videos this year and I'm just a different pitcher now. Just with the pitches, the mechanics, it's all good stuff now," he concluded.
GCL Yankees
Repertoire. Fastball, Curveball, Changeup.
Fastball. Hebert isn't a big velocity guy, sitting mostly in the 89-91 mph range, but what he lacks in plus velocity he makes up for with great control of his fastball. There were stretches where his velocity range got up to the 90-92 mph vicinity and, still rather slender, he has a lot of room to fill out his frame and that could lead to a further spike in velocity as he continues to mature. For now though he has great command of a big league average fastball that shows good natural tailing action.
Other Pitches. Both of Hebert's secondary pitches were below average pitches for the majority of the 2012 season. However, his changeup, a pitch he hardly threw during the course of the season, has quickly become an above average pitch lately after being able to get great fade and sink with it, and his arm speed now mirrors that of his fastball. He did throw a curveball during his debut season but it was a slower, loopier curveball that sat mostly in the high-60s. It was good enough to get rookie league hitters out but he made it a point to throw it harder and it became an above average, mid-to-high 70s power curveball at Instructs that he can still locate for strikes.
Pitching. Where Hebert excels is throwing strikes with all of his pitches, even when his pitches weren't getting the desired movement. He attacks batters with a tailing fastball inside to right-handers and away from left-handers, and now he has two above average secondary pitches that he can also locate for strikes. He's still relatively in the infancy stage of his professional career but he already shows a very high baseball acumen and extremely coachable nature. His biggest weakness right now, his strength, has the chance to be a real asset as he continues to fill out and mature.
Projection. There's a lot to like about Hebert's current game, including an average big league fastball and two above average secondary offerings, and all three pitches still have a lot of projection left in them. He also shows advanced pitch-ability and consistent strike-throwing prowess, and should his pitches begin to tick upwards even more then his game could really take off. In a lot of ways he mirrors the game of current Yankee southpaw Nik Turley. Hebert doesn't have his 6-foot-5 frame, but he too can also get stronger, throw harder, knows how to set up batters already, and has a ton of room to get better with his secondary pitches. And like Turley, Hebert projects best right now as a middle to back-end big league starting pitcher someday but could also have a tick higher ceiling if things break right in the ensuing years.
ETA. 2016. It is going to be awfully difficult to keep him out of Charleston to begin the 2013 season if he pitches in Spring Training like he had during Instructs. However, there are so many quality pitching candidates for the low-A level that the smarter money has him anchoring a rotation spot in short-season Staten Island.

If you're going to ditch your workout at some point during the year, it's probably going to be during the holiday season. Between travel plans, kids' school activities, family gatherings, shopping, cooking, and attending various holiday parties, your schedule gets slammed with new obligations, which makes it easy to push workouts by the wayside.

But here's why you shouldn't ditch your workout this year, especially during the holiday season:

 Exercise Is a Stress Reliever. Even if you love the holidays, it can be stressful. See the list of reasons above.

 Exercise Helps Counterbalance Wayward Nutrition. The holiday season is the time of year when you're most likely to enjoy a few extra cocktails, a smorgasbord of Christmas cookies, and your fair share of turkey and ham. While you should still approach all that food with moderation, as long as you're maintaining an exercise routine, you can feel confident that your extra calorie consumption won't undo all the hard work you've done throughout the year.

 Exercise Keeps You Centered and On Track. When everything in your life gets thrown a bit off-course, it's incredibly balancing to have one or two go-to routines that help you maintain a sense of normalcy. By maintaining your weekly workout, you'll be able to comfortably carry yourself through the holiday season and into the new year without having to try to re-calibrate your life after January 1st.

 Exercise Boosts Mood. Sure, the holidays should be happy, but how often have you found yourself snapping at your spouse or feeling irritated with your kids, just because your life feels out of whack? Exercise releases endorphins that can boost mood and help you maintain a positive outlook.

 Exercise Improves Productivity. Individuals who exercise regularly have better mental focus and are more productive than those who exercise infrequently. When you've got a lot on your plate, squeezing fitness into your day can actually help you tackle everything else more efficiently.

How to Make a Holiday Fitness Routine Work

 Choose Short, High-Intensity Interval Routines. The good news is, you don't have to commit to long workouts. Short, intense bursts of exercise can be as, or even more, effective than longer, steady-state training. By aiming for three to five workouts a week, each lasting between 20 and 45 minutes, you'll reap the benefits of exercise while maintaining (or even improving) your current level of fitness.

 Stay at Home. If you're worried about time, skip the drive to the gym. That alone can shave off 10 to 40 minutes of your designated workout time, depending on where your gym's located. And believe it or not, you don't have to have a gym to stay fit. You don't even need any special fitness equipment to do the job. Focus on bodyweight training exercises that significantly increase your heart rate while challenging your major muscle groups.

 Follow a Program. Your best bet for sticking to a workout routine during the holidays, especially if you plan to exercise at home, is to follow an actual program. It can be tough to plan and execute your own workouts, especially if you're not quite sure how to get started. Check Pinterest and YouTube to seek out free programs, or sign up for a streaming online video service to follow trainer-led classes at home.

Use This Sample Interval Workout

As an example of the type of interval training program you should follow, try this Tabata-based interval routine.

Tabata Workout

When performing a Tabata workout, set a Tabata timer on your computer or smartphone so it gives you eight interval periods, each with 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. In other words, you'll perform 20 seconds of work, then you'll rest for 10 seconds, repeating this cycle eight total times. Each Tabata lasts a total of four minutes.

This Tabata workout includes four, four-minute Tabatas.

Tabata #1: Skaters

Perform 8 sets of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.

Tabata #2: Mountain Climbers

Perform 8 sets of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.

Tabata #3: Moguls

Perform 8 sets of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.

Tabata #4: Bear Squats

Perform 8 sets of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.

Whistleblower 9: Renter says landlord didn't tell her home was being foreclosed on
by: Scott Wickersham Updated:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A local attorney said a landlord is buying homes at auction and collecting rent from families while knowing the homes will soon be foreclosed on and those renters will be kicked out.
Days after signing a long-term lease, Tonya Smith was told she had to leave her Steele Creek home because it was being foreclosed on.
She said Tina Nguyen rented her the home.
When Channel 9 started looking, it found three complaints about Nguyen's real estate dealings with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.
In one, a woman in northeast Charlotte complained Nguyen rented her a home "knowing that the mortgage loan held by a third party is in serious default."
Attorney Brett Dressler represents Smith.
He said any investor can buy a home at an HOA foreclosure auction.
However, it's "subject to the mortgage," meaning the bank that's owed money can still foreclose.
"She takes advantage of the delay between when the HOA can foreclose, and when the bank can foreclose," Dressler said. "She will get somebody and rent that house for as long as she can until the bank comes in and forecloses it out from underneath her."
Dressler said it's legal, but the renters can be left scrambling for a home.
Nguyen agreed to meet Channel 9 outside the Mecklenburg County courthouse and Eyewitness News asked if she's misleading people.
"No one is paying on the mortgage. You know that eventually these people are going to get kicked out. Do you make that clear to them," Channel 9 asked.
"Yes. I just told you, clearly in my lease I told them they would be protected," she said.
However, the lease she showed me only explains that, by law, renters have 90 days to move if the home is foreclosed.
There's no indication the home they're about to rent may already be in the foreclosure process.
"Do you think it's unfair and deceptive? Do you think you are breaking certain laws?" Channel 9 asked.
"I disclose information to them when I rent it out to them," Nguyen said.
"Can you tell people verbally as opposed to just putting it in the print?" Channel 9 asked.
"I will tell them verbally," she said.
"From now on you will say hey this is the situation?" Channel 9 asked.
"Yes, right," Nguyen said.
Nguyen said she'll change how she does business. If not, Dressler said one the courts could step in.
"That may be up to a jury one day to tell her what she is doing is not fair to consumers and put a stop to it," Dressler said.
He advises anyone considering renting a home to do their homework first.
In Mecklenburg County, renters can use a home address to look up the owner's name.
Dressler said his client saw red flags, like foreclosure notices in the mail, but Nguyen told her everything was fine.
Nguyen said she said that because the law gives renters 90 days to move if there is a foreclosure.
Channel 9 discovered that law expires at the end of this year.

The highlight was a 6-day trek through the Valley. Thoroughly fun but challenging as well. What made it all worth it was the view from the Markha Valley pass on the second-to-last final day. Awesome! Simply breath-taking! Our group of four couldn't have made it without the guide and the crew. They were really helpful throughout.Each meal was sumptuous, well-prepared and a welcome break.

What an awesome trek this was. We passed through high peaks and amazing views in Markha Valley. However in this trip we were confused about our accommodation in Leh so just to clarify, please get confirmation on the hotel or lodge costs incurred in Leh before you book this trek.

My friend and I were very bored in life and looking for some adventure. Then she came across this Markha Valley Trek on this website and since both were reasonably fit, we thought we should do it. The entire trek from reaching Gandala La and Kongmaru La pass to interacting with the Markha village people and witnessing beauty we never though existed was an eye-opening experience.
Rated : 4.0
This trek had all the ingredients of an excellent and well managed trek that was surprising to say the least! It was a truly exciting escapade which was much needed to refresh and rejuvenate! I really enjoyed the whole journey in the laps of the snowed mountains and loved the outstanding views you get from up there.

Decision makers
- Perkiomen Valley School District
The Perkiomen Valley School District is facing a budget crisis for the 2014-2015 school year. In an effort to close the gap, a proposal has been made to cut one core academic teacher in Social Studies, Math, and English. In doing so, some of the best and most liked teachers will get laid off.
It is important that we, the student body, get involved and let our voices be heard. These decisions directly affect us and our high school learning experience. We must stop the board from approving these cuts in an effort to help save some of the best teachers in the district. We must encourage the board to search for alternative methods of saving money and raising revenue. Let your voices be heard!

Private Versus Public Cloud Computing
A plethora of applications are being considered for the cloud, but it may take at least another year before cloud computing goes mainstream in the enterprise.
If the choice had to be made today, would you go with a public, private or hybrid cloud?
That's a tough one to field at this point considering the technology is still evolving and the use cases for each approach are still open to debate. However, with demand for scale-out and on-demand services on the rise, enterprises will be under the gun to provide them regardless of the unknowns.
Already, cloud platforms are evolving past their initial generic forms to target specific requirements. HP and Microsoft made a big splash this week with their plan to create an integrated hybrid environment for organizations that face high degrees of compliance and regulation. The package combines the Microsoft Office 365 service, as well as Exchange, SharePoint and Lync, with HP's Enterprise Cloud platform. The idea is to provide access to a global resource pool but still allow for various security, data residency and other national or regional legal and regulatory requirements.
Cisco, meanwhile, says it has overcome what it calls the silo approach to various cloud platforms by devising a unified framework for public, private and hybrid services. The CloudVerse platform builds on the company's unified data center portfolio, as well as intelligent networking and various applications and service offerings to provide tighter integration among cloud architectures, thus avoiding much of the systems and service redundancy that would undoubtedly arise from a piecemeal approach.
Of course, before you decide on what type or types of cloud you want to build, you should figure out what you want to do with them. But as tech consultant Joe Onisick points out, don't be afraid to jettison the cloud entirely if it won't suit your needs. A prime example is "cloud bursting," the notion that cloud resources can be held in reserve for unusually high traffic spikes. Aside from the technical challenges involved, is it really practical to expect CEOs and CFOs to sign off on a plan that will still incur monthly fees but may or may not be needed to handle data loads of still undetermined scale?
Indeed, echoes Bloor Research analyst Martin Banks. If you turn the equation around and approach it from a business-needs perspective, you'll find that the public-private-hybrid debate is largely irrelevant. The goal of IT should be to support the organization's data requirements so that clear-cut objectives can be obtained. By focusing on technology first, enterprises run the risk of locking themselves into a given platform that might be an inhibitor to growth rather than a facilitator.
Before you get too far down this road, it would be wise to sit down with other business units in your organization to figure out what their requirements are.

text: BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. has signed a commercial and contractual agreement with Methanex USA LLC to supply up to 30 megawatts of power to Methanex's new methanol facility in Geismar. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/MM74349LOGO) In July 2012, Methanex announced plans to relocate a 1 million metric ton methanol production plant from Chile to a new 225-acre site in Geismar. On April 24, 2013, Methanex announced plans to proceed with the relocation of a second 1 million metric ton per year methanol plant from its Chile site to Geismar. Subsequent to the public announcement, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana has been working with Methanex to provide permanent power to its new facility. The power contract between Entergy Gulf States Louisiana and Methanex is for an initial 10-year term and will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis. Entergy Gulf States Louisiana plans to upgrade its electric transmission system to meet the increased demand the methanol production facility is anticipated to generate. "Methanex selected Entergy Gulf States Louisiana as the sole source for their power needs because of Entergy's ability to provide safe, clean, reliable and affordable power within the required timeframe," said Gustavo Parra, vice president, Global Excellence and Projects, Methanex Corporation. Methanex's first plant is expected to be operational by the end of 2014, and the second plant is expected to be operational by early 2016. Methanex is investing approximately $1.1 billion dollars in the facility and will create approximately 165 new permanent jobs within the community. Additionally, construction of the two facilities will result in approximately 2,500 construction jobs. Methanex commenced work on its first methanol plant in 2012 and started work on its second plant this year. Hiring for the first plant is underway, and jobs associated with the second plant will be filled in the year leading up to completion of the project.

Farewell From Ara.
As he had stood on the ground, almost completely motionless save for the tears running down his face, Ara began to feel a strange sensation. It didn't come from anywhere in particular, it seemed to imminate from every part of him, like a strange tingling. His mind began to cloud, everything becoming rather indistinct and blurry. For a moment he panicked, thinking the disease was taking effect, but soon realised differently when he looked down at his hands.
They were fading. Literally, fading out of existance, right before his very eyes. And it wasn't just his hands, all of him was gradually fading away, bocoming less substantial even as he looked at it. Ara gave a cry of alarm and he saw several heads turn to face him.
What's happening? What is this magic? What's happening to me?
Flamara stared at him in utter shock. Ara gave her a pleading look, opening his mouth to speak. But when sound came it sounded like it was being said from the end of a very long tunnel, echoey and indistinct. Flamara reached out a hand, but her hand went straight through him. Ara's eyes widened and he called again, still in the same echoey voice. Flamara continued to stare, the beginnings of tears forming in her eyes as, slowly, Ara faded away and disappeared from the room completely, leaving no trace that he had ever been there.
* * * *
Ara hit the hard ground with a loud "thump". He stood up and shook himself, his head fuddled and confused. What the heck had just happened? Where was he?
How had he gotten here anyway?
A vague fuzzy memory drifted into his mind, indistinct, yet strangely emotive. Ara struggled to make sense of it, tossing his horned head in an irritated fashion and snarling under his breath but, try as he might, the memory just wouldn't come.
But all thoughts of the memory were chased from his mind when he looked up and saw where he was.
He was standing on a mountainside, surrounded by large boulders and with a small stream running a small distance to his left. And from the mountain he had the most magnificent view.
Below him, deep green forest stretched away for miles, only broken here and there by glades. Huge mountains rose up on either side, stretching off to the Northern and Southern horizons and disappearing beyond Ara's line of sight. It was amazing, a whole new world, unexplored and with endless possibilites for a new start. Ara let out a whoop and raced off down the mountainside, his feet flying over the earth and soon disappearing into the trees beyond.
Yet even as he ran, that vague memory kept popping up in his mind. And, for some reason he did not remember, Ara felt tears pricking his eyes. It was as if he had left somewhere he loved, as if he were remembering at time that he knew would never come again.
As though he had lost someone he loved.

Aina; ScareMature
'ghummm, not now. . .' I mumbled, turning over, finding myself on the floor about three seconds later.
'We need to go the hospital! Cira.. . it's Cira. . .' Mum sobbed, tugging on my hand.
I snapped to action, looking up in my mothers red, tear ridden face in fear. Cira? What. . .no. . .Cira. . .she probably just broke her arm. . .right? I mean.. .
'Aina, he need to go. It was Damien's fault.' Pho's cold voice came from the doorway, his face set in a unreadable mask. If Pho was wearing an expression like that. . .oh god. . .no way. . .
'That boy. . .the one she fancied?' I gulped, grabbing my sisters ragged trainers and shoving them on.
'He pushed her.'
I gasped and felt the tears well up my eyes. This wasn't real. I would wake up. . .no. I knew it was real.
'Dear, I don't think Aina should see her.' My dad whispered in mum's ear, in the vain hope that I wouldn't hear. She looked at him before nodding. Pho stepped into Cira's room, looking around with a expression of disgust on his face. I wondered why he seemed so chilly, I shivered and concern washed over his face. He jumped to my side, pulling a blanket over my shoulders. I nodded in thanks.
'Aina, go back to bed, you can go see Cira tomorrow.' Dad said in a strained voice, he was holding back tears. Because he knew we'd worry if he cried. Because fathers never cry.
I nodded again, not trusting my voice. Knowing, just knowing, that if I uttered a word, all that would escape my lips would be sobs.
Pho looked at me, but I couldn't look him in the eye. Not right now, because I'd worry him if I started weeping at his feet.
'I know this is a very bad time to do this, but do you mind if we go see her?' Mum hiccuped, I nodded again. I could feel the placid, empty expression fill up every pore in my face.
'I'm sorry. . .I'm sorry. . .we'll be back soon. . ' Dad said quietly, his voice breaking up as he rushed out of the room, our mother trailing him.
'I'm going for a bath.' I said in a tight whisper, striding out of the room. I slammed the door behind me. Tonight I couldn't feel about Pho's feelings on me walking out on him. Tonight, tonight I needed to fret over my sister. I didn't even know what'd happened to her.
I filled the tub up to the top with boiling hot, relaxing water. As I slipped out of my pyjama's, and underwear, Pho stepped in through the door. I felt his eyes rake over my body and I shivered.
'Pho, go away please.' I said in a quiet, suppressed voice. I stepped into the bathtub, not caring if Pho saw me naked.
I didn't care tonight. I had never, ever been cold towards Pho before and it felt funny to ignore his presence. What had happened to Cira? Why was she in hospital?
'Pho, what happened to Cira?' I said through clenched teeth.
'She got pushed down the stairs by Damien.' He said in a tone that made me think he didn't want to tell me anything about it.
I sank into the water as the tears being to flow down my cheeks. I didn't care if Pho saw this ugly crying face of mine. Heck, I didn't care if Daniel Green saw it.
'Aian! Don't do that!' He yelped as I blew bubbles under the water, making it look as though I was drowning, but I was fine. I looked at him, right into his bright green eyes and felt myself cry harder.
'Cira. . .Cira. . .' I wept, Pho's expression went dark and he took me by the shoulders and pulled me into his embrace, 'don't. . .you'll get wet. . .'
'I'm fine.'
'Pho. . .' I sobbed. I saw his expression soften out of the corner of my blurry eye, as though he was glad I was calling his name.
'Is Cira making you cry?' He asked, stroking my hair.
'No. . .I'm just worried. ..' I sniffed, I wanted to pull away, suddenly becoming aware of my nudity.
'I'll make it so you don't have to worry anymore.' He whispered into my ear, his breath tickling it.
That made me weep. I didn't want to let Pho go in the end. Being held by him was the biggest comfort there could be. . .

We thank Dr Khurana for his thoughtful letter regarding our article on its implication in highly endemic countries with limited resources in culture and drug susceptibility tests.1 The specificity of positive sputum smear for acid-fast bacilli is highly affected by drug resistance status, especially in patients with multidrug resistant (MDR) TB,2 who had a delayed culture conversion during treatment. Therefore, the assessment of treatment response should be different according to the status of drug resistance. Consistently, the results of our study1 emphasize that sputum smear results at the fifth month of treatment should not be the sole indicator of treatment failure. It also highlighted the importance of clinical characteristics, such as the integrated SCOR index (smear grading ≥ 3+ at the fifth month [S], no sputum culture conversion at the second month [C], lack of direct observation strategy [O], and no radiographic improvement at the fifth month [R]), in predicting culture results in patients with non-MDR TB.
Since only 6% of TB cases in India were MDR TB,3 our conclusion is applicable in probably > 70% of TB cases and should be helpful in saving medical resources. Early detection of drug resistance, especially rifampin resistance, is another important issue. Several risk factors have also been published to achieve early diagnosis of MDR TB, such as identifying patients with high pretreated probability of drug resistance (retreatment cases, poor response cases, MDR TB contacts, TB cases from highly prevalent areas of MDR TB) as well as early implementation of cost-effective rapid drug-resistance detection kits.4 In addition, sputum mycobacterial culture and drug susceptibility testing should be performed to detect drug resistance if the specimen obtained at the end of 2 or 3 months is smear-positive.5 Future large-scale investigations will be warranted to clarify the cost-effectiveness and priority of those strategies.
