However dull the election seems in the rest of the UK, in Northern Ireland something so interesting it hasn't hitherto happened for almost a generation has taken place. For the unionist parties have actually done something sensible, co-operative and reasonable. The DUP and the Tory/UUP candidates in Fermanagh and South Tyrone have stood aside, in order that both parties can back the independent unionist Rodney Connor, former chief executive of Fermanagh district council.
Connor, if elected, will take the Tory whip for "national purposes", but insists that in matters touching upon his constituency, he will place its interests first. This formula means that the sitting, or rather, absent Sinn Féin MP, Michelle Gildernew, now faces a stiff fight to hold on to the seat. And like one of those old-fashioned weatherhouse barometers, the consequence of the unionist figure popping out into the sane daylight position means that political nationalism seemingly must automatically swing back into hysterical gloom.
Sinn Féin know they won't get in the British general election anything like the kicking the Irish Republic's electorate handed out to them in theirs. But their leadership is understandably anxious about the fact that yet another element in what passed for their partition-accepting, post-republican strategy is unfurling. Losing seats was never part of the inevitability narrative, and worse still, neither was the SDLP holding them. Hence the paranoid ravings from Sinn Féin this week that the SDLP would live in infamy for a thousand more oppressed generations, if they didn't roll over and let Gildernew try and scoop the communal pool on her own. Very wisely, the adroit new leader of the SDLP, Margaret Ritchie, has fallen for neither the confidence trick aspect of this, nor the ham-fisted element of intimidation. Her party's candidate, Fearghal McKinney, a former local TV star, has rebuffed Sinn Féin's slightly pathetic effort to blame him for their likely loss of a seat.
In emulation of past intra-unionist vituperation, the SDLP will be as happy as and when Gildernew loses, as Sinn Féin were unhappy when unionist incompetence gifted South Belfast to Alasdair McDonnell in 2005. It's a bitter mindset unionists have done well to move beyond. Yet we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that by refusing to cut deals with Sinn Féin, all the SDLP is doing is showing that as ever, it's the aspect of northern nationalism that's closest to the political life of the south. After all, neither Fianna Fáil nor Fine Gael will countenance touching the party of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness either.
The national consequence of any move towards political common sense among unionists will be magnified by the fact that though the Commons-attending SDLP will likely hold South Down and Foyle, Sinn Féin negate entirely their voters support by their faux-abstentionism from Westminster. For the Tories, this brings the good news that fully four seats in a tight parliament won't be in the hands of the Labour-whip taking SDLP. How contemporary republicanism squares the pretence of taking millions of pounds in pay and expenses from Westminster while evading any responsibility that goes with that is one of the more challenging bits of metaphysics modern British politics has to offer.
If unionists can now also come to terms over South Belfast, this will leave North Down as the most interesting unionist squabble left. There, in a tactical dodge, the DUP have pulled out in favour of Sylvia Hermon, the hitherto fanatically pro-agreement but also Tory-phobic Ulster Unionist MP for the seat. She's quit the UUP because of the Conservative linkup and is running as an independent unionist. And Ian Parsley, a defector from the Alliance party, is running for the UUP/Conservatives.
The great mystery here is why the contest hasn't become Ulster's first choice since partition between candidates from the two main national parties. Why hasn't Lady Hermon sought, and got, sanction to run as a Labour MP? I'm a Tory and want the Tories to win everywhere, but I'm a unionist and want the long, hard fight won to replenish Labour's unionism too. Of all the issues people like me had with Hermon when she was a UUP MP, it's somehow typical of her that she has contrived to be even more disappointing now that she's left, yet still hasn't managed to stand for Labour.

Digital Painting, unique work 1/1 canvas print. Please contact me for more info.Signed, accredited and numbered by the artist, includes Certificates of AuthenticityDita Von Teese (born Heather Renée Sweet. ( September 28, 1972) is an American burlesque dancer, model, costume designer, entrepreneur and occasional actress. She is thought to have helped repopularize burlesque performance, and was formerly married to Marilyn Manson.Von Teese was born in Rochester, Michigan, the middle of three daughters. Her father was a machinist and her mother a manicurist. She is of English, Scottish, Armenian, and German heritage. Dita has stated that one of her grandmothers was half-Armenian and adopted into an Anglo-Saxon American family. Von Teese is known for her fascination with 1940s cinema and classic vintage style. This began at a young age and was fostered by her mother, who would buy clothes for her daughter to dress up. Her mother was a fan of old, Golden Age-era Hollywood films, and from her Von Teese developed a fascination with the actresses of that day, especially Betty Grable.She was classically trained as a ballet dancer from an early age, and danced solo at age 13 for a local ballet company. Though she originally wanted to be a ballerina, Von Teese states that "by 15, I was as good as I'd ever be. She was later to incorporate this element into her burlesque shows, where she frequently goes en pointe. The family relocated from Michigan to Orange County, California, when her father's job moved. Von Teese attended University High School in Irvine, California.When Von Teese was a teenager, her mother took her to buy her first bra, made from plain white cotton, and gave her a plastic egg containing a pair of wrinkly, flesh-colored tights. Von Teese says she was disappointed, as she had been hoping to receive beautiful lacy garments and stockings, of the type she had glimpsed in her father's Playboy magazines. This fueled her passion for lingerie. She worked in a lingerie store as a salesgirl when she was 15, eventually as a buyer. Von Teese has been fond of wearing elaborate lingerie such as corsets and basques with fully fashioned stockings ever since. In college, Von Teese studied historic costuming and aspired to work as a stylist for films

The Drums' Portamento continues where last year's debut left off, with indie-pop arrangements of syncopated guitar and handclap grooves over which Jonny Pierce vents his emotional concerns in a fluting high register.
Something always blocks Jonny's intentions, it seems: "I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money" he frets in "Money", bookended between songs claiming "I always knew what you were, but still I gave in" and "I'd never hate you, but you're hard to love". After a while, the formula wears thin, but not as thin as the pasty production, diluting the New Order-esque arrangements badly but matching Pierce's more whining, clingy performances. The cycling, Wendy Carlos-style synth figures of "Searching For Heaven" offer brief respite, but hardly enough to rescue an album promising far more than it delivers.

text: cooking How Three Foodies Stay At The Top Of Their Field By Poppy Tooker • Jan 12, 2015 Thomas Walsh Listen Listening... / 50:00 Click here to listen to this week's show. For the past twenty years Dana Cowin has been Food & Wine's editor in chief, but has keep a secret from her readers. Despite being surrounded by food nearly every single day, she never learned how to cook. But with the help of her friends, many of them famous celebrity chefs, Dana has mastered her mistakes in the kitchen and learned some invaluable life skills along the way. We're also joined by Tony Abu-Ganim, one of the world's leading mixologists. He's seen the profession go from being a secondary job to a respected career during his 30 years behind the bar and joins us to talk about the hardships he's encountered along that journey. And for a set of bakers with roughly five years of experience on their hands, the crew at Bellegarde Bakery is making quite a name for themselves. We'll join Graison Gill and Brett Guadagnino at their Broadmoor bakery for an early morning baking session. Plus Ian McNulty and Chris Jay both join us for reports from the road. The Ebb And Flow Of Louisiana Seafood By Poppy Tooker • May 4, 2014 Louisiana Angler Listen Listening... / 50:00 Click here to listen to this week's show. Fresh seafood has defined Louisiana's cuisine for centuries. We're joined by a field of experts to discuss how the our seafood catches impact us ecologically, economically and culturally. We'll hear from Paul Greenberg about the environmental changes that threaten the Louisiana's shrimping industry and then pass the buck to Louis Raines, a local shrimp distributor. Gerard Marias also joins the program to share his shrimp boiling recipe and techniques. Plus author Mark Kurlansky talks about the impact we're having on the wildlife in the ocean, and chef Tenney Flynn explains how to treat fish with the utmost respect once you've brought it home from the grocery. You Don't Have To Be Fancy: New Variations On Fish & Vietnamese Food By Poppy Tooker • Apr 25, 2014 Ed Lallo / Newsroom Ink Fine dining restaurants are often where innovations take place in the restaurant industry, but quality food is never limited to those locations. After spending years in white tablecloth restaurants, Jeff and Michael Gulotta started their own place, MoPho, which caters to the palates and pocketbooks of their working class industry friends. Grilling Fruit By Richard McCarthy • Jul 7, 2012 If your holiday barbecue embers are still glowing with heat, consider joining the throng of chefs who have discovered the joys of grilling fruit. A decade ago, it was exciting to simply taste savory salads that feature watermelon, peaches and figs. Today, that seems pedestrian. I marvel at how chefs are finding ways to grill summer fruit and how to pair them. Among the surprises is grilled watermelon.

The title of this essay asks a good question. Does Christianity need to be defended? If Christianity is so readily believable, as Christians maintain, why defend it? As we will establish, it is not for our sakes or even for Christianity's sake that we defend our faith in Christ. The ministry of apologetics is a service to the unbeliever and not an actual defence of that which truly needs no defense. See also, If Christianity is true, why does it need so much defending? at Christian-Thinktank.com. This same site also provides a good essay giving eight reasons for apologetics. And a really good essay about the Church's failure to realize the importance of apologetics can be found here at Tektonics.org.
First, what is apologetics?
The short answer is: It's the branch of theology that is concerned with defending or proving the truth of Christian doctrines. A much more detailed answer is here at Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry ; a very fine site.
Do we need to defend Christianity?
C. S. Lewis writes:
"We who defend Christianity find ourselves constantly opposed not by the irreligion of our hearers but by their real religion. Speak about beauty, truth and goodness, or about a God who is simply the indwelling principle of these three, speak about a great spiritual force pervading all things, a common mind of which we are all parts, a pool of generalized spirituality to which we can all flow, and you command friendly interest.
But the temperature drops as soon as you mention a God who has purposes and performs particular actions, who does one thing and not another, a concrete, choosing, commanding, prohibiting God with a determinate character. People become embarrassed or angry. Such a conception seems to them primitive and crude and even irreverent. The popular 'religion' excludes miracles because it excludes the 'living God' of Christianity and believes instead in a kind of God who obviously would not do miracles, or indeed anything else." [1]
When we get to the heart of most skeptics' stubborness, we find they aren't necessarily opposed to belief in God per se. They actually oppose what they suspect He stands for. Specifically, they oppose His authority over mankind. And, in many cases, they oppose their personal, twisted caricature of what Christianity truly is.
Ask the average skeptic or anti-theist to tell you of the god he/she doesn't believe in and you will most likely not believe in that god either. The heart of their problem is the problem with their heart. They are so set on not being ruled by God, they haven't bothered to truly find out who the God of the Bible is. I posit that, whether it's disbelief or misbelief we find, it's a worthwhile ministry to help people to understand the truth about Jehovah God!
An atheist's heart is exposed
I was once asked a question. The questioner was a particularly profane and blasphemous atheist, who didn't really want an answer, but sought only to heckle a defender of Christianity. He asked me why I bothered to defend Christianity. He went on to state that Christianity wouldn't need defenders if it weren't such an evil institution.
I found this question quite engaging. It did not engage me in the way our atheist friend meant for it to, but it did provoke reflection. I reflected upon why he 'felt' that Christianity was an evil institution. Subsequent colloquy revealed his fractured reasoning. He cut loose with the usual profane venting about the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, and the allegations that Hitler was a Christian. See articles here and here for answers to that allegation.
What did this exchange produce? Well, it led to our atheist friend answering his own question. As I see it, all his snarling accusations demonstrated precisely why Christianity should be defended. It must defended for the sake of those who disbelieve and misbelieve. In essence, Christian apologists are defending unbelievers from themselves.
In Hebrews 5:1,2 we read: "For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity."
Verses like these should be reflected upon by any apologist who is considering hanging up his/her arguments. A minister/servant of God is called to intercede on behalf of those who sin and try to draw them to Christ. This is the reason I don't like to engage in heated, petty debates where personal attacks are launched. This activity is not Christ-like and it doesn't win anyone to Him.
So, how are we to approach this problem?
The greater weight born in Christian apologetics is not carried by the scholarly defense of Biblical text. And it's also not carried by the efforts of those who present scientific data to support theism's assertions that we don't live in an accidental universe or that Earth's life forms didn't create and develop themselves.
Neither does successful Christian apologetics ride upon the back of the complex philosophical wrestling matches between us and proponents of other religions. The heart and soul of Christian apologetics exists in getting people to see their need for a Savior. I posit that, if you can get a stiff necked unbeliever to see their lostness, you have all but won the battle.
Unbelievers hide from God behind their criticisms of Christianity
There is a satanic smoke screen used by those who don't want to see the truth about right and wrong. Secular Humanism, Moral Relativism, and plain liberal licentiousness are at the heart of this soul damning problem. Non-Christians are either grossly misinformed or deliberately ignorant regarding the things of God. Just like our aforementioned friend, so many deliberately define Christianity by its abuses and its abusers.
They don't care to hear about or acknowledge the many charitable efforts that Christians are engaged in worldwide. No, and they are even less interested in the boundless testimonial evidence of lives saved from the brink of destruction by Christ's love and power.
They callously ignore stories of Christians' loving attendance when disaster strikes in the lives of individuals or even entire nations. Again, they'd rather focus upon only those instances where Christendom received the proverbial 'black eye' because of the failures of one or more persons who are only ostensibly Christian.
Are we saying here that no genuine Christian ever fails? No. The fact that all men still possess a certain propensity for failure only shows how much we all need Christ's oversight. Besides this, what sense does it make to throw out a baby with the bath water? Why turn your back on Christ because of the intermittent failures of His people?
Why is it seemingly impossible to get skeptics to divorce bad human behavior from perfectly good theology? Apologists and evangelists try ardently to get unbelievers to look at Christ and not fallen mankind. However, their efforts are often in vain. One hates to leave people to their own destruction, but we have no alternative once we've done all we can do. Even God Himself doesn't "make" anyone accept the truth of the Gospel.
Many are those who follow the broad path to perdition. They look prejudicially at world history and ferret out instances where villains have done horrible things under a malevolent banner of some twisted form of pseudo-Christianity. Though one may try time and again to point out that these characters were actually motivated by money and political power, unbelieving critics won't hear of it. Their minds are made up and they adamantly refuse to give credit where it's due.
They launch screaming invectives and mordant mumbles at every one who dares to name the name of Christ. Look at any internet discussion forum and you will see "reasonably" intelligent people acting as if they live to punish people for their beliefs. This is the type of stereotyping that our modern, politically correct society allegedly abhors.
Yet, the same multi-cultural secularists, who preach about acceptance, callously deride believers and seek to eradicate all mention of Christ from the world. Where is the politically correct openness and acceptance in this? And to think that it's Christians who are called intolerant bigots.
Why doth the heathen rage?
If unbelievers truly think Christianity is some fantasy religion, why does the mention of Christ's name anger unbelievers so? One may try and dissuade a person from believing that the moon is made of green cheese, but it doesn't make sense to hate them for believing it. So, why would any "intelligent" person fight against others simply because they believe in Jehovah God? The reason lies in the injurious realm of carnal thinking. The moral and ethical precepts of true Christianity are hateful and binding to the secular mind.
Rom. 8:7 says, "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." This, in a nutshell, explains the innate, anti-Christian hostility of atheistic and liberal thinkers. As long as people of God proliferate the world, they know that their secular political agendas are going to be opposed. Are there any anti-theists who will admit this? Yes.
Aldous Huxley, son of Thomas Huxley, writes:
"I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; and consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics. He is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do. For myself, as no doubt for most of my friends, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom. The supporters of this system claimed that it embodied the meaning - the Christian meaning, they insisted - of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confuting these people and justifying ourselves in our erotic revolt: we would deny that the world had any meaning whatever." [2]
Here, Huxley openly admits that his aversion to Christianity was part of a particular agenda. It was not that he couldn't believe in Christ, but that he didn't want to. He openly states that he saw Christian morality as an impediment to erotic whimsy. So, Huxley remained deliberately ignorant of what serving Christ would do to change his life. Having said that, isn't it ironic that he also made the following statement?
"Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know. It is our will that decides how and upon what subjects we shall use our intelligence... No philosophy is completely disinterested. The pure love of truth is always mingled to some extent with the need, conciously or unconciously felt by even the noblest and the most intelligent philosophers" [3]
Ironically, Huxley speaks of willful ignorance when his own thinking epitomized what it meant to be willfully ignorant. By the way, Huxley is wrong here. Willful ignorance is the most in-vincible ignorance of all! People who don't want to know something will not know it. There are none so blind . . .
I humbly adjure all skeptics and atheists alike to consider the following point closely. No matter what you've experienced in your life, no matter what you've seen other humans do, never stop looking for the truth. Don't let outrage and disillusionment dissuade you from finding what true Christians have already found. A true Christian isn't out to gather people to himself, but to Christ. We seek to gather people to Christ for Christ's sake and theirs.
In fact, let the following scripture speak for us regarding pure intentions. In 2 Corinthians 4:3-5 we read, "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."

Laurin Jimenez, office manager for the Seguin Social Security branch, said most employees were sent home at noon Tuesday. "They have been told to listen to the news and when Congress passes a budget, they can come back to work," Jimenez said. "There's going to be a lot of work for the employees to catch up on when they get back." The 15 Seguin Social Security workers are among 800,000 federal government employees furloughed when non-essential operations were shut down Tuesday. Although the office is closed for new claims, "this will not affect an individual receiving a regular check," Jimenez said.

But warnings and watches still will be issued by the __ National Weather Service, said Esther McKay, deputy meteorologist in charge of the Austin/San Antonio weather forecast office located in New Braunfels. Because the organization's mission is to protect life and property in adverse weather conditions, "our operations here are considered essential to public safety." Connie Roberts, nurse at the Women, Infants and Children New Braunfels office, said, "Until further notice, we're working as usual" at the federally-funded, low-income nutrition program The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been funded by appropriations bills separate from the main budget bill. "At this point in time, we're not affected," said Richard Bran-des, county executive director for die Consolidated Farm Service Agency. He said his office will continue to "deliver USDA programs to the farmers." Programs include crop subsidies, farm insurance and home mortgage loans. Jerry Brite, reservoir manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Canyon Lake, said nationwide lake projects were funded by the Energy and Water Appropriations Act, which President Clinton signed Monday. The seven parks overseen by the corps in the Canyon Lake area will operate on schedule, although some are closed because of winter. Both Brandes and Brite said their agencies could still face shutdowns if Congress continues the budget debate for a long time because of the federal debt ceiling and the need to meet financial obligations. Raises to bring New Braunfels employees' pay in line with other cities By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Many city employees are grossly underpaid, according to a recent city survey. City council started to rectify the situation Monday night by giving a raise to many city workers. The pay hikes total about $340,000 through the end of this fiscal year — the end of June. The increases go into effect at the beginning of December. Finance Director Sharon Day sent surveys to 30 employers. Most were cities near the size of New Braunfels. Also included were New Braunfels Utilities and the two local school districts. Sixteen completed the surveys. "Our custodians made $12,000 to $14,000 gross," said City Manager Mike Shands. "Laborers trade $ 13,000 gross. That's where we need the help — those are the folks having the hardest time." Entry level 911 dispatchers and firefighters in New Braunfels got the lowest salaries in the 16 comparably sized Texas cities polled. Police patrol officers got the third-loweat. "The stressful lower level positions, like the police dispatcher, had the highest level of turnover," Shands said. Law enforcement workers have an extra burden in the summer months, Shands said.

"But we build for the average tune and for the peak go on overtime." The city staffs its police department for the average load and compensates for the summer with overtime. That adds stress to an already stressful job "..and we still come out way below average in our pay scales," Shands said. Others penalized by the pay scale are workers who stay in New Braunfels year after year hor suer of home and family. They see their coal of living go up and their pay Ray virtually the same, Shands said. "Those are the ones whom we ultimately also penalized," he said. The city work force is about as efficient as it can get, said Mayor Paul E. Fraser Jr "The staff is what I call lean and mean — they're professionals," he said. "They get the job done and they get it done with a modicum of fanfare." Shands and Fraser agree that part of the efficiency — and part of the reason why most city workers do more than their for share — is the fact that the city staff is almost without middle man agement. "One has to look long and hard not to find a city employee that is not carrying more than their share of the load," Fraser said. "You name a spot, and I don't see anybody that is not going at double speed." The city council voted for the pay hike with one council member dissenting — C. Ray Schoch. "I think it's evident that the staff is underpaid, but I would like to pass that through a professional firm," he said. Citizens would be more likely to approve of the raise if an outside firm had made the recommendation, he said, and an expert should be dealing with the complicated strategies involved. * Schoch wanted to approve the $340,000 as a lump sum, then hire a consultant to recommend how to spread it around. The city council agreed with him to a point. They added a provision on the pay raise that the city hire a consultant to look at its long-term personnel plans. Not all city employees will get a raise. "I don't get any of this increase," Shands said. "We still have about 30 employees that are not going to get any raises. Some of them are already average, so they just freeze." "lf I had a command like this in the Marine Corps, I'd be tickled to death," Fraser said. "They'd ba able to make the three-mile run and not break a sweat."Everyone wants to fly the property rights banner these days. See Opinion, Page 4. ;

The Captain and the CounselorMature
The communications officer to the right of the captain grunted in pain and ripped the headset off his head. The captain turned to him. "What's wrong Adderly?"
"I'm not sure sir, I got a hail from the scraper and when I let it through it was just loud static."
The captain turned to another officer on the bridge. "Lieutenant Sutler, What's that scouts status?"
"I can't tell, the signal is not coming in properly."
"What do you mean? Elaborate."
"There's some kind of interference, wait..." The officer looked on in confusion for a moment. "It might be a sensor ghost sir, but it looks like they're performing evasive maneuvers." She stated in a tone of perplexity.
Adderly turned about as quickly as he could. "Sir I'm picking up a status pod, the reading is coming in now."
The captains eyes snapped to the view screen before him. "Holy shit" he stated in a slow whisper. He quickly hit a few keys on the armrest keypad and opened a general communications channel. "All hands battle alert." He closed the channel and tightened his restraints. "Helmsman, increase to four g deceleration,"
"Yes sir."
"Commander Schindler, deploy all your men including bombers."
"Yes sir."
The Counselor turned to the captain. "All of them Captain? What if they're destroyed by the mines, what will protect the ship?"
The captain turned to the Counselor, his eyes filled with rage.
Suddenly all of the passengers of the bridge were pushed violently into their seats at four times the gravitational force of the earth.
The captain spoke through his teeth as his muscles forced against the strain of the gravity, and he yelled for his voice to surpass that of the vibrating hull. "Major Holman, are your gunners ready?" He said, still staring directly at the Counselor who was struggling in his seat, an expression of distress on his face.
Holman yelled back to the captain "Yes sir they are."
"Good." He looked back to the front as they entered the field of mines. " The fighter already made a small hole for us, how long before the outskirt mines catch up to us Alexus?"
"We have about ten to fifteen minutes before the outskirt mines accelerate to our location."
The captain watched the view screen as they rushed through the tunnel, surrounded by danger only visible to the powerful scanners of the Zerachiel

Crowded classrooms a problem on High Desert
Statewide, 76 percent of teachers say classrooms too full
BEND, Ore. - A new report shows Oregon class sizes are impacting lessons. The recently released survey of Oregon teachers, ordered by the Department of Education, shows 76 percent of instructors say classrooms are too crowded.
Results were released Wednesday of the survey, conducted through the New Teacher Center's Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning survey.
Survey results for Bend La Pine Schools are a little better than the state average, but still bleak.
Seventy-four percent of teachers report overcrowded classes are a problem.
"I wasn't surprised. During the great recession we've had to increase class sizes and I can definitely understand the frustrations from the teachers," Bend-La Pine School Board member Andy High said Thursday.
High said with increased state funding the district has slowly addressed the problem, adding teachers last year and budgeting funding for more teachers next year.
District spokeswoman Julianne Repman said next year some elementary and high school classes will shrink by one student.
District data shows since 2012, class sizes have gone down by two students in kindergarten,first grade, second grade and high school.
Middle school class sizes have shrunk, on average, by half a student.
In kindergarten, the average class size is 22 students.
"What we struggle with still is PERS (Public Employee Retirement System) savings, administrative costs. We could see more from the Legislature," High said.
Add Bend-La Pine's skyrocketing enrollment of more than 200 new students each year to the mix, and High says stretching dollars will still be a challenge, even with two new schools being built.
"As you are growing, you do get more money from the state, but you don't get dollars allocated to where you're going to put them," High said.
A voter-approved bond to finish two new schools already under construction is part of the solution -- but full-time kindergarten is also on the horizon.
"We have a huge challenge coming up in 2015, where the Legislature has mandated full-day kindergarten, but they haven't identified how they're going to fund it, or if local districts are going to be required to fund that," High said.
Bend-La Pine's new schools will not reduce class sizes overall, but instead help alleviate overcrowded schools now using modular and other makeshift classrooms.

|The Jungle Book character
Baloo in the 1895 edition of The Second Jungle Book
|First appearance
|"Mowgli's Brothers"
|Last appearance
|The spring Running
|Created by
|Rudyard Kipling
|Indian sloth bear
Baloo (Hindi: भालू Bhālū, "bear") is a main fictional character featured in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book from 1894 and The Second Jungle Book from 1895. Baloo, a bear, is the strict teacher of the cubs of the Seeonee wolf pack. His most challenging pupil is the "man-cub" Mowgli. Baloo and Bagheera, a panther, save Mowgli from Shere Khan the tiger and endeavor to teach Mowgli the Law of the Jungle in many of The Jungle Book stories.
Name and species[edit]
He is described in Kipling's work as "the sleepy brown bear". Robert Armitage Sterndale, from whom Kipling derived most of his knowledge of Indian fauna, used the Hindi word "Bhalu" for several bear species, though Daniel Karlin, who edited the Penguin reissue of The Jungle Book in 1989, states that, with the exception of colour, Kipling's descriptions of Baloo are consistent with the sloth bear, as brown bears and Asian black bears do not occur in the Seoni area where the novel takes place. Also, the name sloth can be used in the context of sleepiness. Karlin states, however, that Baloo's diet of "only roots and nuts and honey" is a trait more common to the Asian black bear than to the sloth bear.[1] Nevertheless, this may be single observation only; according to the dietary habits of sloth bears, while sloth bears prefer termites and ants (which is also described as Baloo's special treat in The Jungle Book), their main sources of food are honey and fruits most of the year.
In the 2016 adaptation, Baloo is stated to be a sloth bear by Bagheera, though his appearance is similar to that of a Himalayan brown bear. Though this subspecies of the brown bear is absent from historical records on Seoni, it might have ranged across most of northern India.[2]
In film, television, and theatre[edit]

Disney animated films[edit]
Baloo, based on Kipling's creation, has appeared in various Disney productions, starting with the company's 1967 feature-length animated film The Jungle Book. In this version, Baloo (voiced by Phil Harris) is portrayed as a friendly and even-tempered character who lives a responsibility-free lifestyle, seemingly far removed from the law teacher in Kipling's book. Baloo is one of Mowgli's mentors and friends. Baloo is also patient and strong; apparently, his only weakness is that he's ticklish. Baloo is initially opposed to bringing Mowgli to the Man Village, wanting to raise him as a son. However, when Bagheera explains that Mowgli is easy prey for Shere Khan the tiger and that he's not safe in the jungle, even with Baloo's diligent protection, Baloo realizes that he's right, and reluctantly tries to tell Mowgli the difficult truth. Mowgli turns on Baloo and runs away, prompting him and Bagheera to split up and search for the boy. Baloo isn't seen again until the climax of the film, when he sees Mowgli preparing to battle Shere Khan. Baloo attempts to stop the tiger, but almost gets killed in the process. After Mowgli follows a girl named Shanti into the village and decides to stay there, Baloo is slightly disappointed, but ultimately is relieved that Mowgli is safe at last. He and Bagheera then return to the jungle as they sing a reprise of "The Bare Necessities" together.
Baloo returns in the 2003 animated sequel The Jungle Book 2 in which he is voiced by John Goodman. He is eager to reunite with Mowgli, in spite of Bagheera's exasperation and the return of a vindictive Shere Khan, humiliated by his previous defeat at Mowgli's hands. He sneaks into the Man Village at night after eluding Bagheera and Colonel Hathi's herd to visit Mowgli and takes him off into the jungle after being caught by Shanti, who felt bad for getting Mowgli in trouble, and unknowingly saves him from Shere Khan, who also came to the village. This leads Shanti, Ranjan, and the villagers to go into the jungle to search for him. Mowgli tells Baloo all about the negative aspects of the village while hiding his actual feelings about the place. When Baloo makes fun of Mowgli's life in the village and scares Shanti like Mowgli asked him to, he unintentionally hurts Mowgli's feelings and annoys him. Baloo and Shanti continue to hate each other until they both say they're trying to save Mowgli from Shere Khan (who ambushed Mowgli when he went after Shanti and Ranjan to apologize) during an argument. From then on, they acknowledge one another as friends. After he, Mowgli, and Shanti trap Shere Khan under a statue on a rocky outcrop in a lava lake, Baloo understands that Mowgli's place is in the village and sadly says good-bye to him. However, the next day, it is revealed that, with Shere Khan gone, the jungle is now "certified as safe", and Mowgli, Shanti, and Ranjan therefore have the village leader's permission to go into the jungle. The movie ends with Baloo, Shanti, and Mowgli singing a reprise of "The Bare Necessities" while Ranjan plays with Bagheera.
Baloo became a popular character after the success of the Disney films. He was made famous by the song "The Bare Necessities", sung by Phil Harris, in which he tells Mowgli how to live off the land and still have a life of luxury.
Japanese anime[edit]
In the 1989 Japanese anime television series Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli also based on The Jungle Book, Baloo, (voiced by Banjō Ginga in Japanese and A.J. Henderson in the English dub) is more faithfully depicted as a strict teacher of Mowgli, not above getting physical in his displeasure when the boy is being difficult.
In the 1990 Disney animated TV series TaleSpin, Baloo (voiced by Ed Gilbert) is the main character of the series and is based primarily on the character from Disney's The Jungle Book, but he wears a flight cap and a yellow shirt. He also has four-fingered hands instead of his Jungle Book counterpart's claws. He has an easy-going and cheeky personality just like the Jungle Book version. Although juvenile, scruffy, directionless, and a slacker, he is also an excellent pilot and capable of dangerous aerial maneuvers. He flies a cargo plane called the Sea Duck. He will also bravely come to the aid of people in need of help. Some of his mannerisms survive from The Jungle Book, including his nickname of "Papa Bear" given by his young friend Kit Cloudkicker, which Mowgli had given to him in The Jungle Book. He also calls Kit "Little Britches", as he did with Mowgli.
1994 live-action film[edit]
In the 1994 Disney live-action film The Jungle Book, Baloo, like all the other animals featured, does not speak. He first meets Mowgli as a cub when Mowgli finds him trapped inside a broken log. Mowgli frees him and they become fast friends. In a later scene, while Mowgli is escorting his childhood sweetheart Katherine "Kitty" Brydon through the jungle, Baloo appears and playfully wrestles with Mowgli, in the process temporarily scaring Kitty until Mowgli introduces his jungle friends to her. In a later tussle against soldiers working for Captain William Boone, the main villain, Baloo is shot and left for dead, but Mowgli finds him and locates Dr. Julius Plumford to save his life. In the final scene, after Boone's defeat, Dr. Plumford is shown to have successfully saved Baloo, and is seen standing with Baloo beside a waterfall.
Jungle Cubs[edit]
In the 1996 Disney animated TV series Jungle Cubs, Baloo (voiced by Pamela Adlon) is a kind-hearted and genial cub. He likes to play with his friends (including his best friend Louie) and sometimes plays tricks on Bagheera in order to snap the latter out of his haughty attitude.
1998 live-action series[edit]
In the live-action TV series Mowgli: The New Adventures of the Jungle Book based on the original Jungle Book stories, Baloo is once again given a more sensible personality faithful to that of the books.
2010 animated series[edit]
In the Indian computer animated TV series The Jungle Book, Baloo (voiced by Jimmy Hibbert) is once again given a more conservative personality faithful to that of the books. He is also depicted in this series as wearing glasses and as bipedal.
Stage adaptation[edit]
Disney's 2013 stage adaptation of The Jungle Book, directed by Mary Zimmerman, features Kevin Carolan as Baloo.
2016 live-action film[edit]
In the 2016 Disney live-action film The Jungle Book, Baloo is voiced by Bill Murray.
Baloo first appears when Kaa is about to devour Mowgli, and rescues him from the python before she can eat him. Baloo then takes Mowgli back to his cave and tells him to help him gather honey in exchange for saving his life. Eventually, Baloo and Mowgli form a strong attachment with Mowgli deciding that he wants to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives. When Bagheera shows up, Mowgli reveals that he wants to live with Baloo. Baloo then speaks with Bagheera, and Baloo reluctantly agrees to send Mowgli away to the Man-village so he is safe from Shere Khan. To this end, he says he and Mowgli were never friends, hoping his lie will coerce Mowgli into going to the Man-village. However, before Mowgli can decide, monkeys under the command of the Gigantopithecus, King Louie, abduct him. Baloo and Bagheera track down the monkeys back to their temple, and fight them off long enough for Mowgli to hide from Louie. The ensuing chase results in Louie's apparent death. When Mowgli learns of Akela's death by Shere Khan from Louie, he angrily decides to face Shere Khan, and steals a torch from the man-village, accidentally starting a fire in the jungle. Baloo and Bagheera follow him in close pursuit and help to distract Shere Khan alongside Raksha and the rest of Mowgli's wolf pack so that Mowgli can set a trap that later kills Shere Khan. After Shere Khan is defeated and the fire extinguished, Mowgli is last seen sometime later with Baloo and Bagheera, having at last found his true home in the jungle.
2018 live-action film[edit]
In the 2018 Warner Bros. live-action film Jungle Book, Baloo will be played by Andy Serkis, who is also serving as the film's director.

Author has written 11 stories for Dragon Ball Z, Ranma, Chrono Cross, Inuyasha, Final Fantasy VIII, Legend of Zelda, Harry Potter, and Final Fantasy X.
Greetings fans! I am Kibaikasu, formerly known as Chikujin and Hell Stalker. My interests are reading fanfics, watching videos on Youtube and NormalBoots, writing (when time allows), and playing video games.
Status: Under a new name.
That's right folks, I now write under a new alias - DJ Quicksilver! I now write and post stories on this new account rather than my older one because, to be quite honest, my writing style has changes so much over time that whenever I revisit the stories on this old account I kinda cringe a bit at how... 'bland', I guess, the stories here are. However, the stories on these old accounts DO represent my first forays into the world of fanfiction, and thus, I leave them here for historical purposes, both for my own benefit, as well as for those who want to better see just how I've evolved from where I began to where I am now as a writer. (Also, since this account has all my favorite stories in the Fav Stories tab and I REALLY don't wanna move all those to the new account, well...)
That's not to say that you might not see some of the concepts in these stories used ever again. Quite the opposite, I actually hope to reboot some of these works, under heavy modifications to suit my new style of writing.
For those of you who wish to read my new stories, you can find them here: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1685106/DJ-Quicksilver
Know that updates are sporadic at best with my life being as hectic as it is. Keep an eye on my profile page for updates on whatever story/stories I might be working on at the time. Thank you for your interest

First aired on NXNW (2/24/13)
Shelagh Rogers is one of Canada's biggest book lovers. As the host of CBC's The Next Chapter, she interviews CanLit's biggest stars and brightest up-and-comers. Of the thousands of books she's read over the years, which ones have stuck with her the most -- and helped shape her into the person she's become? Shelagh sat down with NXNW host Sherly MacKay to discuss just that. Here are Shelagh's top picks:
My Childhood Favourite: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
"I loved the idea of going into a secret place and then going into a secret world. In fact, it's a beautiful metaphor for what books do for you."
A Book to Give to My Younger Self: Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt
"Scaredy is afraid of a lot of things, and I was afraid of a lot of things. I was really self-conscious. I blushed at a lot of things. I still do, but it doesn't worry me anymore. But I loved Scaredy coming to terms with the things that he worried about."
A(nother) Book to Give to My Younger Self: Skim by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki
"It's a story of a young girl in high school who is going through all that stuff that goes on in high school for young girls ... Just dealing with those insecurities and coming out strong. If I could, I would take Skim to my teenage self and say read this and learn from it."
A Book That Changed My Life: Porcupines and China Dolls by Robert Arthur Alexie
"It's about a boy whose actual parents have gone to residential school and he wonders why he is the way he is. It just opened my eyes to what happened there. We will never be able to make what happened right, but we've got to start hearing those stories and we have to start understanding them and start understanding why this happened and how this could have happened in this country."
A Book I Like to Lend to Others: As Birds Bring Forth the Sun and The Lost Salt Gift of Blood by Alistair MacLeod
"His writing is so exquisite. And we all know now, because we know the man, he laboured over every sentence if not every word. It's just crystalline."

Add flavour, not fat, to your meals
Give your healthy family meals a kick with some fabulous condiments and spices.
There's no need to turn meals into ordeals! Keep your pantry and fridge organised and stocked with tantalising taste sensations to keep your interest and to boost your health.
Food boredom can be the bane of our lives when we're watching our weight. It's also why you are more likely to ditch the food plan and succumb to old ways of eating again. The good news is there is no need to turn meals into ordeals! Keep your pantry and fridge brimming with tantalising taste sensations to keep your interest and to boost your health!
A hint of spice perks up a healthy meal
Always have the essentials to hand when constructing your healthy curries.
Garlic, chillies, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon quills, garam masala, fish sauce, and stock cubes are just a few of the spices you can keep handy in your pantry or cupboard to add to meals for extra taste in family meals.
Grow your own herbs at home
If you have a window sill, try growing your own herbs at home. Many supermarkets offer growing herbs you can bring into the house or make a herb tub or bed in the garden to add to your salads, meat and fish dishes and soups. A handful of fresh coriander added to a Thai curry, soup or salad instantly transforms it into something special and tasty.
Spray it, don't say it
Invest in an oil spray. You can spray roasting tins and woks to keep fat levels down. This way you'll use a fraction of the amount if you were to use pour oil and it will still taste great.
Canned and fabulous!
Buy tinned fish (such as tuna) in brine or spring water instead of oil and add to homemade tomato sauces for pasta. Why not try to make your own pizza? Buy a small pre-made pizza base and add tomato paste, onion slices, olives, capsicums, mushrooms and olives in brine for a low-fat tasty family meal.
Keep your pantry stocked with essentials
Make sure you always have the pantry staples from which you can rustle up something quick and interesting.
It's always handy having canned tomatoes for quick and tasty pasta meals. Teriyaki sauce is great for a quick stir-fry with fresh vegetables and lean meat. Lemon grass and ginger are vital for Thai soups and curries, as well as curry powder or curry paste. When it comes to fridge staples, hommus is always good to have on hand as a dip to serve with carrot sticks. And for dressings, always have a jar of Dijon mustard on hand to mix with an equal amount of low-fat yoghurt and low-fat mayonnaise. This creamy dressing is fantastic used as a salad dressing or drizzled on sandwiches.
Sweet chilli sauce also makes a great sandwich spread or condiment with fish and meat dishes. Think about branching out into the exotic if all that your vegetable shelf contains is a bit of cauliflower and carrots.
Sugar snap peas, sweet potato (delicious cooked with lite coconut milk and Thai spices), baby corn, parsnip, Japanese eggplant and celeriac are all delicious and healthy too. So strike out and indulge in some more adventurous vegetables with some tasty spices and condiments to improve the taste of any family meal.

Bloome finds children raised outside stable 2-parent families more likely to become low-income adults, regardless of parents' income

"IMPROVING WOMEN'S PRECONCEPTIONAL HEALTH Findings from a Randomized Trial of the Strong Healthy Women Intervention in the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study." Women's Health Issues, 18(6): S87-S96.
Purpose. Improving the health of women before pregnancy is an important strategy for reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes for mother and child. This paper reports the first pretest-post-test results from a randomized trial of a unique, multidimensional, small group format intervention, Strong Healthy Women, designed to improve the health behaviors and health status of preconceptional and interconceptional women. Methods. Nonpregnant pre- and interconceptional women ages 18-35 were recruited in 15 low-income rural communities in Central Pennsylvania (n = 692). Women were randomized in a ratio of 2-to-1 to intervention and control groups; participants received a baseline and follow-up health risk assessment at 14 weeks and completed questionnaires to assess behavioral variables. The analytic sample for this report consists of 362 women who completed both risk assessments. Outcomes include measures of attitudinal and health-related behavior change. Main Findings. Women in the intervention group were significantly more likely than controls to report higher self-efficacy for eating healthy food and to perceive higher preconceptional control of birth outcomes; greater intent to eat healthy foods and be more physically active; and greater frequency of reading food labels, physical activity consistent with recommended levels, and daily use of a multivitamin with folic acid. Significant dose effects were found: Each additional intervention session attended was associated with higher perceived internal preconceptional control of birth outcomes, reading food labels, engaging in relaxation exercise or meditation for stress management, and daily use of a multivitamin with folic acid. Conclusions. The attitudinal and behavior changes attributable to the intervention were related primarily to nutrition and physical activity. These results show that these topics can be successfully addressed with pre- and interconceptional women outside the clinical setting in community-based interventions.

Real Salt Lake's amazing defensive record this season figured to earn the club some post-season accolades and the first of those came on Friday, with Jamison Olave being named MLS Defender of the Year.
Olave anchored an RSL defense that allowed an MLS record-low 20 goals this season and posted 14 shutouts. He partnered with Nat Borchers to form the strongest centerback tandem in the league. Olave's combination of size and speed intimidated and shut down opponents on a regular basis.
Olave beat out Borchers and Los Angeles centerback Omar Gonzalez for the honor. In doing so, he becomes the first foreign defender to win the honor since Lubos Kubik won in 1998 as a member of the Chicago Fire.
What do you think of this selection? Agree with the pick?
Share your thoughts below.
Idaho Brian
Well deserved honor. Olave has had a great year and deserves the award…however, without the leadership and organization of Borchers, I don't think it would have happened. Without a doubt, the best CB tandem in the league.
definitely the most deserving of the 3 choices. borchers and gonzalez were certainly good, but he is the better centerback in the same defense as borchers, and gonzalez wasn't exactly perfect all season long, but he will certainly win it in the next few years(if he hasn't moved to Europe already)
Well they finally got one right…:) Go RSL…:)
More so than in any of the other categories, I thought that any of the three candidates for defender of the year would have been a deserving winner of the prize. With that said, Olave was a beast. Now let's see if he can shut down FC Dallas when it really counts!
MLS has just been Olaved!!!!!!!
