West Seattle to get additional Community Police Team officers in 2014
Announced recently by Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Interim Police Chief Jim Pugel, the Seattle Police Department was awarded a $1.25 million grant from the U.S. Justice Department as part of the federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program.
McGinn said the money will be used to hire 10 additional Community Police Team officers for the city, assigning two to each precinct. They also committed to hiring four veterans for those positions.
"Unlike regular patrol officers, CPT officers focus on long-term and chronic problems specific to individual neighborhoods," according to the Mayor's office. "They patrol known 'hot spots' multiple times throughout their shifts and work to build relationships with residents and business owners in their precincts. Working directly with the community allows them to spot problems as they arise and combat the root causes of crime."
Our local Southwest Precinct currently has three CPT officers including Officer Flores, Officer Keihn and Officer McDaniel. Flores patrols the peninsula's western William sector, Kiehn covers the eastern Frank sector, and McDaniel focuses on Seattle Housing Authority locations.
SW Precinct Captain Joseph Kessler said his department has yet to discuss how deployment will change with two additional CPTs in the mix, but said, "We will spread the workload among all areas of the precinct."
"It is great news and will really help bolster our ability to work on some of our long term problem areas," Capt. Kessler added. "Being able to have additional officers dedicated to working directly on issues important to the community makes us more responsive and ultimately, more effective in providing quality service."
A few months back McGinn announced his plan to fund an additional 15 new officers in Seattle as part of his proposed 2014 budget. With the COPS grant that could mean an additional 25 officers patrolling the city next year.

Bird to Karunaratne, OUT, Bird opens his account in Test cricket! This time he moved the ball away from the left-hander from over the wicket, Karunaratne was forward to drive, pushed at it, outside edge taken by Wade moving to his left
FDM Karunaratne c †Wade b Bird 5 (17m 14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 35.71
Johnson to Dilshan, OUT, played on! Dilshan goes for the booming straight drive, Johnson fired this just outside the off stump and got it to move back in, as a result the batsman was cramped for room as he went for the drive, inside edge onto the off stump
TM Dilshan b Johnson 11 (31m 20b 2x4 0x6) SR: 55.00
Siddle to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, thin edge! And all three seamers have struck this morning. Sri Lanka reeling here, Siddle pitched it on a good length and got it to move away slightly, Mahela was forward and across and got a thin edge to Wade
DPMD Jayawardene c †Wade b Siddle 3 (32m 26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.53
Bird to Samaraweera, OUT, top edge straight after lunch! That was a gift for the Australians. It was short and Samaraweera fetched that from outside off and tried to pull in front of square, swung and got a top edge, his right hand came off the handle showing that he had no control of the shot, Warner takes it at short midwicket, easy catch
TT Samaraweera c Warner b Bird 10 (59m 38b 0x4 0x6) SR: 26.31
Siddle to Mathews, OUT, that's a ripper! Mr Cricket take a bow! Siddle fires that wide outside off and Mathews couldn't resist trying to thrash the past cover, thick outside edge flies towards second slip and Hussey initially cups his hands behind it but ends up plucking it one-handed, he took a second or two to gather himself, the ball stuck. They check for the no ball and Siddle was just about safe
AD Mathews c Hussey b Siddle 15 (25m 13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 115.38
Johnson to HAPW Jayawardene, OUT, straight after drinks Prasanna gets a brute of a delivery from Mitch! The batsman didn't know where that took off from, it was short and Prasanna tried to fend it off with soft hands but the ball lobbed off the shoulder of the bat towards third slip
HAPW Jayawardene c Hughes b Johnson 24 (37m 30b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
Johnson to Prasad, OUT, and Johnson's on a hat-trick! What does a tailender do with such a ball? Short, on the body and he has no time to move away from it, the ball clips his glove and lobs to the keeper, the Australians weren't so sure but the umpire was watching carefully
KTGD Prasad c †Wade b Johnson 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Johnson to Sangakkara, OUT, top class catch by Wade! That's Johnson's 200th Test wicket! Johnson bowls it back of a length on the body and Sanga gets a top edge on the pull, the ball sails over the wicketkeeper and Wade himself does the honours, sprints around 35-40 meters towards the boundary and times his jump well. Keeps his eyes on the ball all the time. Phew!
KC Sangakkara c †Wade b Johnson 58 (195m 98b 8x4 0x6) SR: 59.18
Lyon to Herath, OUT, yet another poor shot! We've seen a few today, Herath goes for the slog off a well flighted delivery on the off stump, gets a top edge and easy catch to short fine leg
HMRKB Herath c Cowan b Lyon 14 (25m 19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 73.68
Lyon to Welegedara, OUT, all too easy! Tossed up and Welegedara tries to clear the infield, mid-on was pushed back a bit and the ball went straight to Hussey
UWMBCA Welegedara c Hussey b Lyon 0 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Jefferson County History
Jefferson County Courthouse
Sprawling reservoir Lake Billy Chinook in Jefferson County was named for a Chinook Indian boy who joined up with John C. Fremont's second expedition at The Dalles in 1843. Chinook accompanied Fremont (and Kit Carson of later fame) south through present day Central Oregon to California, including a harrowing journey across the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the heart of winter.
While traveling through what is now Jefferson County, Fremont commented about the chasm-like valleys and vertical precipices that made the region impracticable for wagons and barely useable by horses. In an illustration of the difficulty of the terrain, the howitzer cannon brought by the expedition had to be disassembled and carried separately by hand. (Source: Oregon Geographic Names)
Jefferson County was created on December 12, 1914, out of territory that was once part of Crook County. The county was named after Mount Jefferson, the second highest peak in Oregon with an elevation of 10,497 feet, which marks the county's western skyline. The county is bounded on the north by Wasco County, on the east by Wheeler and Crook Counties, on the south by Deschutes County, and on the west by Linn and Marion Counties. The county encompasses 1791 square miles.
Madras, named after the city in India, was incorporated in 1911 and serves as the county seat. A new county courthouse was built in 1961. County government is administered by a three-member board of commissioners.
The county's population at its first federal census in 1920 was 3,211. The 2009 population of 22,715 represented a 19.5% increase from 2000.
Principal industries are agriculture, forest products, and recreation. The fertile North Unit Irrigation District in the central part of the county produces seed, potatoes, hay, and mint. The eastern part of the county has dry wheat farming and grazing land for cattle, and the western part is timber country. Warm Springs Forest Product Industries and Kah-Nee Ta Vacation Resort, owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, provide many jobs in the area. The reservation is located on portions of land in four counties including 236,082 acres in the northwestern corner of Jefferson County.
The county owes much of its agricultural prosperity to the arrival of the railroad in 1911 and to the development of irrigation projects in the late 1930s. The railroad, linking Madras with the Columbia River, was completed after constant feuds and battles between two lines working opposite sides of the Deschutes River.

High School English -- Analyzing Argument and Rhetoric: Critical Reading Strategies for All
Presenter: Jonathan LeMaster
Date: August 12, 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. AND 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Location: Carolina Forest High Auditorium
Description of Session: As students progress through school, they will need to move beyond simple comprehension of texts (that is, understanding what they have read and articulating the main points) to analyzing, evaluating, and interpreting ideas in a text. Students will need to know how authors construct meaning and how texts are related to the historical, social, and rhetorical contexts in which they are written. Understanding how authors write from a particular context and perspective is only one element of reading rhetorically. Students must also consider an author's claims and analyze how he/she uses evidence to construct an argument. In high school and college, students are expected to read more sophisticated arguments with little to no support. For this reason, we must strategically teach our students how to read rhetorically and write analytically to better prepare them for rigorous academic environments."

Description: Extremely lightweight and durable, AutoPower incorporates an advanced electronic circuit breaker on both the input and outputs,
protecting both the vehicle and any connected devices in the event of an electrical surge or malfunction.
The fuse-less design will never strand you with a blown, difficult to find fuse - simply unplug AutoPower for 5 seconds to reset the protective circuit breaker and you're back to work.
AutoPower's regulated and filtered output provides clean, noise-free power for audio and other clean-current demanding applications.
Fits both auxiliary vehicle power outlets and cigarette lighter receptacles in automobiles, air and watercraft.
Notes on charging:
USB is not for 1st - 3rd Generation iPod.
The ability to charge two devices simultaneously is dependent on the battery size and current draw of each device.
Simultaneously charge two devices with large (>1800mAh +), or deeply discharged cells requires AutoPower to pulse charge for safety.
For fastest device charging, it's recommend that large tablet and Netbook computers be charged solo to at least 80% before connecting a second device. Two smaller devices such as iPods, cell phones, GPS units, DigiCams, etc, can be continuously charged simultaneously.

Ralph Steadman, the illustrator who collaborated with gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, has a new book out about vanished species, both real and imagined.
This year, go easy on the wallet and light on the land by writing your own rules for the holidays. Just don't lose the magic in the process.
We asked Grist readers for suggestions for how to rock the holidays without partaking of the shopping madness and materialism. Boy, did you deliver.
In which our hapless hero does his best to get himself out of the hole he dug when he asked, in front of all the world, that friends and family give his kids nothing for Christmas.
The president spent his first four years lining up a promising urban policy agenda. Now it's time for a full-court press for smart growth.
This holiday season, think of the children! And please, please don't give mine any more stuff.
The elections were a mixed bag for all things urban, but despite a couple of big losses, mass transit came out smelling like roses.
The future of U.S. cities hangs in the balance today. Here are the races that will have special bearing on our urban lives.
What's at stake in this election? Nothing that isn't laid bare on a flight over the West's booming, and devastated, gas fields.

Clara Bows Hair ~ A Little Sassy, A Little Seductive For 1930
The name Clara Bow is generally the first to come to almost anyone's mind when they think of silent movie stars. Of course, Clara is best known for her fabulous flapper roles.
Although always groomed beautifully, there was something sassy and more than slightly seductive in Clara's style. Clara Bow like many women of that time opted for a Bob hairstyle, however, Clara being an individual, she made sure to personalize her look.
Clara Bows hair was a combination of a short and wavy hairstyle with dramatic make-up blended together perfectly to form a look that is still being copied to this day.
Clara chose to wear her Bob hairstyle pushed off of her forehead with waves curved around her head.
Often, Clara was seen with small sections of her hair on her cheek or forehead shaped into curls. Clara typically styled her Bob with finger waves, which were also popular in the thirties.
There were numerous ways to achieve these waves, but Clara stuck with what she knew flattered her most. The flapper, jazzy look was what Clara Bow favored when it came to cosmetics. If Clara Bow was heading out on the town, you can be sure that the first thing she took care of was her eyebrows.
It was essential that her brows were thin and extended to provide the right flair. This was of course followed by dramatic, eye make-up that was dark and smudged to perfection.
A dusting of facial powder with a light sweeping of blusher added the necessary accompanying touches. Clara's look would not have been complete without paying special attention to her lips. She always wore her lipstick in 'cupid bows' that left her with the seductive bee stung look that she was famous for.

When my sons were toddlers, they were so easily distracted (look: a squirrel!) that I often knelt down and gently placed my hands on their cheeks to help them listen.
"Look at me," I'd say, waiting until their eyes met mine. Then I asked them, "What did Mommy say?"
Lately, I've felt God kneeling down, kindly pressing His hands to my cheeks. "Look at me," He says. It's not only a call to attention, but to single-minded devotion.
"Yes, Lord, " I reply, taking my eyes off Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter–and focusing on Him.

Furnace pilot light will not ignite - Carrier 58 GS Furnace?
Carrier 58 gs furnace. With the thermostat off and the blower set to auto the blower fan runs anyway. No matter what setting the blower stays on. I had someone turn it to heat and pump up the temperature while I was downstairs but I didn't hear any clicking or anything. The blower just turns on. The blower door was on so it isn't the door switch. The pilot won't ignite. It worked a week ago to get ready for the winter season but has now just stopped working. Any pointers is much appreciated.
Wiring diagram says "heating fan relay contact is normally closed until 110v AC is applied to furnace". I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it but the heating fan really is closed at the moment. Is that why the fan is always on?
Tell what point you are at:
1. Combustion fan/induced draft fan comes on
2. Pressure hose jumps, air pressure switch closes/clicks
3. Ignitor glows
4. Gas valve opens, burners light
5. Blower motor starts
I think I have it narrowed down to the limit switch per the diagram. Getting ready to go check it.
Ok I have determined that the problem is that the VSSS Vent Safety Shut off Switch has been tripped most likely because the filter was severely clogged. I have jumped the limit control switch and there was no difference but once I jumped the VSSS everything is running fine. Next question, the manual says to reset the VSSS but it does not anywhere in here tell me how to reset it.

text: The day when everyone is a little bit Irish was celebrated in Bangor, and patrons of Paddy Murphy's, an Irish Pub on Main Street, got started before the sun came up.But the surprise of people coming through the doors at that hour was not a suprise to server Andy Day, " Everybody's marveling at people being here more than anything so but they're all here too so. hahaha."The doors to Paddy Murphy's in downtown Bangor opened at 6am on this Saint Patrick's Day, the same way it did two years ago when the Irish Pub opened in Pickering Square."I picked six am because I thought it would work well" said the owner of the Pub, John Dobbs. "you know it's a nice thing to do for people who really want to enjoy St. Patty's day right from the get go. Nobody else does it and I'm looking to start a nice tradition."Some sat at the bar, others filled booths. Some stopped in for a drink and something to eat before work. Others stopped in on their way to classes at UMaine, like Michael Perry."I got class at nine thirty, gotta go to class and then we'll see where the day goes from there."This is the third St. Patrick's Day the pub has welcomed folks in at this early hour. It's just the start of 20 hours of celebration. And with five bands performing Irish and Celtic folk music through the day, those who have been through this before know what lies ahead."This is about what I expected." said Day. "You got the troopers in here at six in the morning and everybody wants to get a table early. I'm kind of astonished that we have one open now so we'll see how long that lasts and yeah it's a good crowd.."A good crowd and a good time, but there's always next year to be ready for and that will soon be Dobbs' focus."You can always do better, you can always be faster, more efficient, you can always give more to people who frequent your establishment. So what can we do better for next year? We'll start talking about that tomorrow."

You can grow bigger, better cukes, beans, tomatoes and cantaloupes with simple, sturdy trellises
By Barbara Pleasant
December 2010/January 2011
Whether your garden is large or small, you can make better use of every square inch by using vertical gardening techniques to grow upright crops. Pole beans typically produce twice as many beans as bush varieties, and the right trellis can double cucumber yields. Then there are crops, such as tomatoes, that need some type of support to keep them above damp ground, where diseases have a heyday. All properly supported plants are easier to pick from and monitor for pests, plus you'll get help from bug-eating birds that use trellises as hunting perches.
How Plants Climb
Plants that benefit from garden trellises use a variety of methods to cling to support, including curling tendrils, twining stems or, in the case of tomatoes, long, ropy branches that form roots in places that touch the ground.
Curling tendrils produced by peas and cucumber-family crops will twist around whatever is available, so you have plenty of versatility when supporting these crops. Tendrils cling to horizontal and vertical parts of a trellis, so netting woven from biodegradable string attached to posts often works well. Twining stems spiral around their support, growing steadily upward until they turn back on themselves — a growth habit seen in hops, pole beans, Malabar spinach and yard long beans.
Twining stems have little use for horizontal lines, so they do best with trellises composed mostly of poles or an upright fence. (See illustration in the Image Gallery.)
Tomatoes like to throw themselves over their support. They must be trained and tied to an upright trellis, which isn't as easy as growing them in wire cages. The larger, more robust the tomato plant, the more you need a sturdy tomato cage that provides support on all sides.
Temporary or Permanent?
In my experience, a truly sturdy upright garden trellis must be anchored by T-stakes or vertical 4-by-4 posts (or 3-inch-diameter saplings from the woods), sunk 18 inches deep. Installing this semi-permanent garden structure takes time and muscle. In my garden, the most versatile trellises are about 8 feet wide, stand 4 to 5 feet high, and are made of woven wire fencing or a livestock panel attached to two posts. Allowing 4 inches of clearance between the bottom of the fencing and the ground makes the area easier to weed and cultivate. The advantages of such a trellis are the ready availability of the structure each spring and the option to make an attractive permanent feature in the garden.
The drawback of this or any other long-lasting vertical gardening supports (like an existing fence) is that it limits rotations to peas, beans, tomatoes and cucumber-family crops. Temporary trellises, such as bamboo tipis, give you more flexibility in terms of what you plant where, but they need to be taken down and stored in a dry place through winter to keep them from rotting. If you gather trellis parts and bind them together with string or strips of cloth in the fall and store them over the winter, they will go up quickly the following season.

Don't Call Them Small: 6 Great Mid-Size Watches
Big watches still rule the timepiece landscape, but, like dinosaurs and SUVs, their days may be numbered. Much to the relief of small arms (and those who don't need to compensate with their wristwear), a growing crop of reasonably sized watches are popping up. While 40mm would have been considered gargantuan 40 years ago, nowadays it suits most wrists well and looks appropriate with a variety of apparel. Here are our favorite six watches with diameters at or below 40 millimeters. Big watches, watch out.

D.C. United's interest in Akron University coach Caleb Porter (now aborted by Porter's veto) ... what was that all about? Was it a desire to do something daring, to break free from the network of coaches who tend to get recycled in MLS, to show that a new approach was necessary?
Or was this desperation, the piled up frustrations of a previously successful club coming to the surface in the mere desire to do something drastic?
I mean no disrespect to Porter here - his college record speaks for itself. He takes his work seriously, without a doubt. That is a big plus. There is an even bigger plus on the D.C. United end of the equation -- namely, Kevin Payne.
We have seen, in far too many cases in MLS, ignorant -- by which I mean soccer-ignorant -- general managers, maybe even owners, making totally unsuitable coaching appointments. As an example, we had Real Salt Lake owner Dave Checketts picking John Ellinger as the team's first coach. This was done on the basis of Ellinger's successful record as coach of the U.S. under-17 national team at the Bradenton Academy.
And what has winning under-17 games got to do with pro coaching? Not much, I fear, as both Checketts and Ellinger found out quite quickly. Real was always a poor team under Ellinger. I choose that example, because eventually - after two abysmal years - Checketts made the sort of move that D.C. seems to be after. He moved the totally inexperienced Jason Kreis into the job. A daring move that has worked out splendidly.
Is it possible that the audacity of this move, its very freshness, appealed to Kevin Payne? Why not, for Kreis is, like Porter, a college product; also like Porter, Kreis a serious, studious type. But he differs in a key respect: when he took over as the Real coach, he had more than 10 highly successful years' experience as a pro player in MLS. Against that, Porter has little to offer -- two meager years with San Jose and Tampa Bay. Again, that is hardly Porter's fault, but it raises a serious question about his suitability to take over what has been, up to now, the most successful and influential team in MLS. I am talking now primarily of the game on the field.
Which takes us back to college coaches -- namely Bruce Arena. It was Arena -- coming straight from college -- who quickly had astonishing success with D.C. United. But in many respects, Arena was a one-off, an enormously successful college coach at UVa. Not only with titles won, but also -- and more importantly -- with the style of soccer that his teams played. Within the college ranks, Arena's UVa could be classified as swashbuckling. He brought that style to D.C. and made it work magnificently. Of course, it was above all an attacking style.
That style became the hallmark of D.C. teams -- a point that was underlined recently by Payne when, in the course of some criticisms of MLS that got him into hot water with Commissioner Don Garber, he stressed that D.C. had always tried to play entertaining soccer.
So D.C.'s way of playing has college roots. But I'm afraid Arena's version of the game does not look much like Porter's. Listen to this, from the Akron website: "Defensive efficiency has been the hallmark of Porter's teams." In an interview during the recent College Cup, Porter himself deflected praise from his team's attack over to its defense: "A lot of people have focused on our attack. The common thread of a championship team is defending well."
And Akron did defend well during the College Cup. It conceded no goals in two games. A triumph? Hardly, as the team lost the final to UVa. But it is not the result that I'm looking at, rather the style of play.
It is at this point that I find D.C. United's interest in Porter so baffling. Payne talks, agreeably, of playing entertaining soccer. It would be interesting to know if he found Akron's two 110-minute games in any way entertaining. What Porter gives us with Akron, is college soccer a la Indiana -- his alma mater.
That cannot be what Payne is looking for -- a team that can play on endlessly without conceding a goal, but which lacks the skill, subtlety and sophistication to score even one goal in two overtime games?
That sounds about as far away as you can get from what the name D.C. United stands for. It is an essential point. Payne is correct - D.C. United has built up a reputation as an attractive team, a team with a "certain style" It is really the only MLS team that has been able to do that. If it means to maintain its high reputation, it has -- like Barcelona and Real Madrid -- to be mighty careful about selecting its coaches to fit the club's mold.
In turning down the D.C. offer, I think Porter has acted wisely, particularly for his own coaching career. But he has also done D.C. United a favor. Because this would not have been a good appointment for Payne and D.C. Not for any shortcomings in Porter's coaching abilities, but simply because his vision of the game, the style that his teams play, is quite wrong for the D.C. tradition.

Brick veneer over scratch or brown coat?
I plan to remove the existing brick wall.
I'm pretty sure there's only a scratch or brown coat under it.
so I can stick brick veneer with exterior grade thinset mortar directly on that, right?
Does veneer need to be anchored to the wall with anything other than mortar?
Are the existing brick actually clay thin-sawn brick?? If so, yes, the substrate "should" be fine, as long as you don't cause too much damage getting the existing brick off. If the brick are faux, like a fiberglass substite or the sort, all bet's are off........
I don't really understand your question, but they look like real antique bricks to me.
They stick out past the window about 3-4 inches.
House was built in the 1960's, so 99% chance they are real bricks.
If they're real full veneer brick, I doubt there's a scratch coat behind it.
Are the new brick going to be a full brick as well? You don't "stick" full brick to a wall, you stack them and let gravity and wall ties take over............
"Veneer" is a relative term. An adhered veneer sticks to the wall, which would be scratch/browncoat. Traditionally, "Brick Veneer" means full size (3-4" thick) that are set on a brick ledge and tied to the back up wall with brick ties. There is normally an airspace between the veneer and the backup wall.
What you have is almost 100% a traditional brick veneer.

UPDATE 4-MetroPCS 2nd-qtr profit misses Street; shares sink
* Q2 EPS $0.07 vs est $0.13
* Q2 EBITDA $233.8 mln vs est $247.2 mln
* Q2 net additions falls sequentially; ARPU falls, churn up
* Reiterates outlook for the year
* MetroPCS shares fall 33 pct; Leap falls 18 pct (Recasts; adds CFO comments, details)
By S. John Tilak
BANGALORE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - MetroPCS Communications Inc's PCS.N quarterly profit missed market expectations as increased competition hurt subscriber growth at the low-cost wireless carrier, sending its shares down 33 percent to a record low.
All key metrics for the company were weak, underscoring concerns on Wall Street of rising competition and slowing growth for MetroPCS, which had earlier this year expanded into major new markets such as New York and Boston. Its rivals include Leap Wireless LEAP.O and Sprint-Nextel (S.N: Cotización) unit Boost Mobile.
Second-quarter average revenue per user (ARPU) at MetroPCS fell to $40.52 and churn rate, a measure of customer attrition, rose to 5.8 percent. Continuación...

Normally in Scripture, burning the dead was a sign of a person's having died under God's curse. It was a punishment inflicted upon the corpse of a particularly egregious offender. We see this punishment commanded, for instance, in the case of Achan. By the command of God, Achan was stoned for his offense of stealing from God, and his body was burned (Josh. , 25; see also Lev. ; 21:9).
A number of cultures, both ancient and modern, have at different times practiced cremation for various reasons—some for practical and others for religious reasons.
Burial seems at first to have been the usual custom among the ancient Greeks; but later cremation became widely practiced, especially in times of plague, or after a battle in order to prevent enemies from disgracing the corpses of the Greek warriors, or in order to more conveniently bring their remains home for burial.
The Romans (at least members of the aristocracy) also at certain points in their history practiced cremation.
It's well-known that the Vikings practiced cremation; and Hindu's still do.
One thing that will be noticed here is that all these cultures that have practiced cremation have been pagan cultures.
It's interesting that wherever the Christian faith has been introduced and taken hold, the practice of cremation has been replaced by burial. The care of the body by means of burial has always been thought to be more consistent with the Christian's hope of the resurrection.
Did you know that it's the traditional Christian practice for graves to lie lengthwise from east to west, with the head of the deceased toward the west and the feet toward the east? This is in anticipation of the resurrection at the second coming of Christ, so that when the faithful are raised up they will be facing the east so as to witness the coming of Christ to
Non-Christian and post-Christian countries have very high cremation rates. The rate in
About a third of those who die in the
Some who choose cremation do so as a very self-conscious way of rejecting the Christian faith, particularly Christian teaching concerning the afterlife. They want to make a secular statement. They want to say by their cremation that they deny life after death; that they deny the resurrection. It's interesting that the cremation rates are highest in the most secular states of the country: 67% in
"The first cremation in
Now of course not everyone who chooses cremation does so to make a secular statement. Increasingly people are choosing cremation for simple economic reasons. Cremation often runs between a quarter to one-half the cost of burial.
But is it sinful to be cremated? The Bible doesn't expressly say so, but the pattern of Scripture is certainly instructive and ought to be regarded as normative; and this pattern is clearly in favor of burial as the only honorable disposal of the remains of the dead. Certainly, the care of the body in burial accords well with the Christian hope of the resurrection and it serves as the last testimony the Christian can give to Jesus Christ.
It is not at all surprising that as unbelief in the church increases, so should the acceptance of cremation as a viable alternative to burial.
Let me summarize by saying, although we have no express command in the Bible forbidding cremation, the universal practice of the saints in Scripture ought to be regarded as a normative principle. In other words, we ought to be content to follow the example of the saints of Scripture and be laid in the ground to await the resurrection.

This timeline traces how prejudice has affected who we are, how we govern and what we believe. For centuries science and politics have influenced how we think and feel about those who have been considered different, inferior, or threatening. Consider whether you think these attitudes continue to resonate today.
Scientists continue to debate racial hierarchies, always with white men at the top. The theory of eugenics develops, emphasising racial purity and controlled breeding. In Australia this theory underpins the removal of Aboriginal children from their families. Segregation, restrictive immigration policies and massacres of Indigenous peoples contribute to the maintaining of a white racial and economic pecking order.
Californian gold rush attracts tens of thousands of people from Europe, Latin America, Australia and China. In 1850 California introduces a new tax on alien gold miners, targeting the Chinese.
Gold is discovered in New South Wales and Victoria, followed by other colonies until 1890s. The gold rushes result in mass migration from the British Isles, Europe, America and China.
Victoria introduces the first Immigration Restriction Act in Australia aimed at limiting Chinese immigration. Other Australian colonies soon follow.
Chinese miners outnumber European miners by at least three to one at the Buckland River goldfields in Victoria. This sparks racial tensions culminating in a violent anti-Chinese riot in which at least three Chinese miners are killed.
Local Indigenous populations continue to resist settlers and immigrants. Killings of local Aboriginal populations continue across Australia until the early 1900s.
Queensland sugar plantation owners commence forcible labour recruitment of Pacific Islanders. About 62,000 'kanakas' are 'blackbirded' (kidnapped) before the practice ceases in 1901.
A close relationship between the 'worst' of the human races and the 'best' of the apes is claimed by German scientist Ernst Haeckel in Natürliche Schöpfungsgeschichte.
Charles Darwin's Descent of Man is published which would fundamentally influence political and social theories about the origins, evolution and hierarchies of human races. 'Although the existing races of man differ in many respects, as in colour, hair, shape of skull, proportions of the body, etc, yet if their whole organisation be taken into consideration they are found to resemble each other in a multitude of points.'
Melbourne entrepreneur Edward Cole begins producing pamphlets, essays and medals promoting world peace and arguing against racially-based immigration policies. His medal offers a positive interpretation of Darwin's theory of the origins of the human species.
The term 'eugenics' is coined by British anthropologist Francis Galton, a belief in human improvement through selective breeding: 'What is termed in Greek, 'eugenes' namely, good in stock, hereditarily endowed with noble qualities.'
Aboriginal people are believed to be a dying race, requiring children of mixed descent to be absorbed into the 'white' community. The Aborigines Act officially commences the removal of Aboriginal children in Victoria.
William Barak, head man for the Woirurrung at Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve near Healesville petitions the Victorian Government for better rights and land on behalf of the residents. 'We Blacks of Aboriginal Blood, wish to have now freedom for all our life time.'
The phrase 'White Australia policy' first appears in William Lane's publication The Boomerang in Brisbane.
Charles Pearson, Australian historian, educationist, politician and journalist,publishes National Life and Character. A Forecast, in which he predicts that the 'higher races of men' would within a few decades find themselves 'elbowed and hustled and perhaps even thrust aside' by people whom they had assumed to be innately servile. The ideas would be taken up by future prime ministers Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin to defend the White Australia policy.

" Brand: New Look / Type: Casual Wear "
I've recently noticed that New Look has been selling some really cheap and good quality items so every week I have gone in and bought something new such as a top, one week I found this top and it was just £9.99. This is also available on the website but you have to pay £3 standard delivery postage.
The T-shirt is made of a thin cotton/polyester material which is really soft. It has a circular neck line that I find really flattering because it shows off my collar bones a bit and makes it very slimming. The description on the website says that this is grey but to me I think it is more of an off white colour.
I was instantly drawn to the cute owl print, not sure why but I love owl things and this has cute owls all over it top. This also has what looks like would be a break pocket with a zip, the zip does undo but it isn't a pocket thankfully because that would be a little weird. However I did let my friends son put a crisp in there once.
I've found that this looks great with skinny jeans or shorts and even tucked into my high waisted skirt. I found that this top can be worn for casual wear or for slightly fancier when teamed with the right accessories and skit. I've worn this quite a few times now and I've washed it on a normal 40 degree wash and after every wash this hasn't shrunk, hasn't lost it's colour nor have the owls got any wear or tear to their prints.
Overall I wear this at least once in two weeks and each time I like to wear it with something different, it's comfy to wear, soft on my skin and looks great for a casual wear. Also the sizing is pretty good, I bought a size 8 and this doesn't fit tight it's a baggy fit but not unflatering.

Indiana Standards Tools for Alternate Reporting (ISTAR)
The purpose of an alternate assessment is to measure student achievement in the subject areas of English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for grades 3-8 and 10, Science (Grades 4, 6 and 10), Social Studies (Grades 5 and 7) based on alternate academic achievement standards. For students with significant cognitive disabilities, the Case Conference Committee, utilizing the criteria for determining eligibility to participate, may determine that the Indiana Standards Tool for Alternate Reporting (ISTAR) is the most appropriate assessment. The criteria can be found in the "Additional Resources" section below.
Indiana Standards Tools for Alternate Reporting (ISTAR)
Because students with significant cognitive disabilities are a diverse population with a variety of needs, it was important to develop items across a broad range of abilities. Three levels of items were created, called "tiers".
- Tier 1 - Tier 1 questions use simple and direct language. Graphics are provided for most answer choices, along with text, which give students a visual support to answer the questions.
- Tier 2 - Tier 2 questions are more complex than those in Tier 1. More introductory phrases may be included in the questions and fewer graphics in the answer choices than in Tier 1. There is a greater level of complexity in how students respond to the questions than in Tier 1.
- Tier 3 - Tier 3 includes more detailed directions and questions. There is more text and few to no graphics in the answer choices. There may be more abstract ideas and inferencing in Tier 3. There is more complexity in how students respond to the questions than in Tier 2.
The purpose of the test blueprint is to make transparent to educators the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of students on the assessments.

→ Education Advice & Tips
| Education Advice & Tips
You may have good reasons to suspect your child is gifted, but you're not sure how to prove it. And such proof can be critical, because it helps parents provide more opportunities for their kids' increased growth, enjoyment, and success in areas of interest.
Most childhood development charts show the typical range of behaviors for each age group. If your child is ahead of those tables, it doesn't mean he or she is necessarily on the fast track or slated to become the next Doogie Howser, M.D. Levels of giftedness range from those who are simply bright to those who are intellectually astonishing. It is an overall sense of where the child fits that determines the child's level.
Following is an overview of the various levels of giftedness and the milestones that are common — but not necessary — to each level. Included are the numbers at each level that are commonly found in an average elementary classroom of 28 children.
LEVEL ONE • These children show interest in many things before they are even 2 years old — colors, saying the numbers in order, and playing simple puzzles.
• Most are good talkers by age 3, and by 4, many print letters and numbers, recognize simple signs and their names, and know most of the alphabet.
• By the time they are 6 years old, many read beginner books and type at the computer, and most read chapter books by age 7.
• It is not unusual to find 6-8 LEVEL ONE children in an average classroom. These are children who are nearly always a few steps ahead of what the teacher is teaching the whole class.
LEVEL TWO • These bright children love looking at books and being read to, even turning pages without ripping them, by 15 months. Some shout out the name of familiar stores as you drive past.
• Many of these children know lots of letters by 18 months and colors by 20 months, and between ages 3 and 4, they count small groups of objects, print some letters and numbers, and they very likely drive their parents crazy with all their questions.
• They'll sit for what seems like hours as you read advanced books, especially fiction and fantasy, to them, but they require a bit less of your time by age 6, because most of them read for pleasure and information on their own by then.
• LEVEL TWO children can find only one or two others in their classroom who are as advanced as they are, which starts to make it hard to find good friends.
LEVEL THREE • They're born wide-eyed and alert, looking around the room, reacting to noises, voices, faces.
• They know what adults are telling or asking them by 6 months. When you note a toy, pet, or another person, they will look for it.
• Everything LEVEL TWO children do by 15 months, these kids do by 10- 12 months, and they can get family members to do what they want before they are actually talking.
• By 2 years, many like 35+ piece puzzles, memorize favorite books, and know the entire alphabet — in or out of order.
• By 3 years old, they talk constantly, and skip count, count backwards, and do simple adding and subtracting because they like to. They love to print letters and numbers, too.
• They ask you to start Easy Readers before 5 years, and many figure out how to multiply, divide, and do some fractions by 6 years.
• Most of these children are a full 2-5 years beyond grade level by age 6 and find school too slow.
• There are one or two LEVEL THREE children in every 100 in the average school. They are rarely in the same elementary class and can feel very lonely.
LEVEL FOUR • LEVEL FOUR babies love books and pay attention when someone reads them aloud within a few months of their birth.
• They are ahead of LEVEL THREE children by another 2-5 months while less than 2 years old.
•They have extensive, complex speaking abilities by 2 years, and their vocabularies are huge!
•Most of them read Easy Readers by 31/2-41/2 years, and then read for information and pleasure by age 5, with comprehension for youth- and adult-level books at 6-61/2 years.
• There is about 1 per 200 children in the average school. Without special arrangements, they can feel very different from their classmates.
LEVEL FIVE • LEVEL FIVEs have talents in every possible area. Everything develops sooner and more intensely than others levels.
• They have favorite TV shows before 6-8 months, pick out letters and numbers by 10-14 months, and enjoy shape sorters before 11 months.
• They print letters, numbers, words, and their names between 16–24 months, and often use anything that is available to form these shapes and figures.
• They show ability with 35+ piece puzzles by less than 15 months and interest in complex mazes before they are 3 years old.
• Musical, dramatic, and artistic aptitudes usually start showing by 18 months.
• Most speak with adult-level complexity by age 2.
• At 2 and 3 years old, they ask questions about how things work, and science — particularly biological and life and death questions.
• They understand math concepts and basic math functions before age 4.
• They can play card and board games for ages 12 and up by age 31/2-4.
• They have high interest in pure facts, almanacs, and dictionaries by age 31/2.
• Most can read any level of book by 41/4-5 years.
• They read 6 or more years beyond grade level with comprehension by 6 years and usually hit 12th grade level by age 7 or 8.
• We know they occur more often than once in a million, and that regular grade school does not work for them. LEVELS THREE through FIVE score similarly on ability tests — very high.
Parents who have more than one child may notice that each child has different interests and talents even when encouraged equally. This is because we don't cause our children's abilities; we can only recognize and nurture them. Once you have a sense of your children's abilities, you can provide them with more activities and experiences that build on these strengths and take advantage of their talents.

Pooja Missra, the much controversial figure and the housemate of Bigg Boss house, has now been evicted from the show. Everyone is now thinking whether her eviction will now affect the TRP of the channel since due to her cat fights, loud verbal brawls, pinching and her much famed cliché 'spare me' – the show touched the heights of popularity. 'Pooja Missra evicted' is what all and sundry have now been glued to the web to search the details.
Pooja's eviction took place due to her assault with the co-contender of Bigg Boss Siddharth Bhardwaj. Since the brawl turned physical, the Bigg Boss had to take the decision to send Pooja Missra out of the house as per the rules and regulations of the contract.
Missra's eviction is utterly shocking for all and sundry since this babe has been in danger zone almost every week but she always succeeded with bigger margin of votes by the viewers. Pooja Missra has been the true entertainer for the viewers of the show because of her heated arguments and combats.
Bigg Boss intervened and expelled Missra from the show on pushing Siddharth during the heavy verbal fight occurred between the two. Reportedly Siddharth has also bagged another reality show, 'Splitsvilla'. He ignited the flame and raised the issue higher demanding Bigg Boss to evict Pooja from the house.
The rules of the show demand all not to physically push or hit any contestant of the house but Pooja broke the rules of Bigg Boss by pushing the male contestant. Pooja was the captain of the week when she was evicted.
She is the only housemate who survived majority of the evictions with the colossal amount of viewers' votes. Pooja has been the biggest reason of show's TRP and now she has been thrown out of the house, will the TRP of Bigg Boss 5 survive?
Sanjay Dutt gave Pooja Missra a good piece of advice 'to have a bit control over your anger' when she came on stage. She acknowledged and it is a great advice if we all follow in life.

Can David Montgomery succeed where other regional newspaper publishers have failed? Has he got the magic touch that will ensure the survival of local papers across Britain?
I was asked roughly that second question by James Naughtie on Radio 4's Today programme on Monday after the news that Montgomery had persuaded Daily Mail and General Trust to let him assume control its regional division, Northcliffe Media.
It was, of course, a question no one can answer with any certainty. Aside from Montgomery's talents (or otherwise), the general view of commentators, and stock-broking analysts, is that regional and local papers are on borrowed time, at least in their printed form.
In that sense, Montgomery has chosen to pick up a poisoned chalice. All the trends — circulation numbers, sales revenue and advertising take — point downward. But it has long been accepted that even if the industry is doomed in the long term, there is money to be made on the way to oblivion through a wave of consolidation. In other words, the inevitable fate can be profitably postponed.
So back to the questions: is Monty the man for the job? I think it's fair to say that he and I don't get along at all well at the personal level, so my dispassionate appraisal of his skills should be seen in that light.
I believe his calculating and cold-blooded approach to the newspaper business has a chance of succeeding, not in a way that will impress me and many journalists but certainly so far as the City and his investment backers, asset manager Crispin Odey, are concerned.
His track record is, admittedly, less than thrilling to recall. As chief executive of Mirror Group he was known for ruthless cost-cutting. His reputation deserves revision because his successors cut far closer to the bone than he ever appeared to contemplate. So, on reflection after a 13-year interval, he can be seen as a more benign figure. Then he founded Mecom, a London-based company that bought at its height almost 300 newspaper titles in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Germany and Poland. It all went south when the recession bit and advertising revenue was squeezed. So Monty was eventually dumped. A charitable view of that venture is he was unlucky with timing.
My experience of Monty, having known him since our sub-editing days on the Mirror in the Seventies, is that he learns from his mistakes. And few people have made as many comebacks as him. He is the very model of a survivor. It is a tribute to his formidable negotiating skills that he has put together this entity called Local World, having persuaded both Northcliffe and the private Cambridge-based publisher, Iliffe News & Media, to come aboard.
Even more spectacular is the fact that he has entered talks with Trinity Mirror in the hope it will take a stake in his new enterprise. The very reason he lost his Mirror Group position in 1999 was its ill-advised merger with the regional chain, Trinity.
So far, so good. He looks to have stitched together a company that will have about 120 titles but with a total circulation far below those enjoyed by the big three rivals — Trinity Mirror itself, Johnston Press and Newsquest, the UK division of the American newspaper giant, Gannett.
Monty will surely know he cannot take many more costs out of Northcliffe, nor can he restructure it. Its dynamic managing director, Steve Auckland, has already seen to that. He might make savings at Iliffe, although it has also been paring away at costs too.
It must therefore be clear that Monty sees Local World as something of a springboard to satisfy his own vaulting ambitions to be a Rupert Murdoch-style press entrepreneur. If he gets the company off the ground, he will surely seek to buy more titles. He will face regulatory hurdles, although the Office of Fair Trading will doubtless be scrutinising deals. It has already made one bad decision, by failing to allow Northcliffe to sell off titles to the Kent Messenger group.
There seems to be a view that the OFT may relent now the industry is in such a parlous state; Monty and his backers will have taken that into consideration. Indeed, when one considers that Trinity Mirror couldn't have hoped to buy the titles outright — being a rival group to Northcliffe — is it not obvious that, if it takes a stake in Local World, a way around the competition regulations is already in the process of being taken?

So is his spoof Muppet, Frankie Yakovic, a Yak or a Wildebeast? I had copied the text from the original page, which said Wildebeast, but someone changed it to Yak. I've not seen the episode, so I don't know. --Radionate 04:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- The name would indicate that he's meant to be a yak, but now that I think about it he really looks much more like a wildebeest. "A complicated issue." GrantHarding 07:00, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- I think he's a yak...
- He's too fat and furry to be a wildbeest and his head is very yak-like plus the yak-ish beard thing). To compair:Real Yak and Real Wildebeest they are similar, but Frankie looks like a yak (to me at least). -- BradFraggle 20:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- I say go with the yak. Even apart from photo comparisons, it seems pretty clear he was meant to be a yak, even if he had wildebeest similarities. As has been discussed before, Muppet character don't always accurately recreate the physiology of the animal they're supposed to represent. I'm sure one of these days they'll probably create "Oscar Wildebeest," who looks more like a buffalo suffering from anemia. --Andrew, Aleal 21:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Freshman Jacob Dunbar of the Richmond men's tennis team was named 2014 Atlantic 10 Men's Tennis Most Outstanding Rookie, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
"Jacob had an amazing season," commented Richmond head coach Ben Johnson. "He consistently played high in the line-up and handled the pressure well. To have a 22-match win streak and set the school's single season match total record says a lot about his talent and work ethic. He has a bright future."
After losing his first singles match of the spring to No. 50 VCU's Nick Jones, Jacob then rattled off an impressive 22-match winning streak at No. 2 singles (29-5 overall), including a three-set win against No. 52 GW's Nikita Fomin, Duquesne's Pete Carpenter and George Mason's Joe Hill.
Dunbar also paired with older brother Ethan Dunbar in the top doubles flight, going 13-5 this spring (23-8 overall), defeating GW's pair of Francisco Dias and Julius Tverijonas (then ranked No. 76). The Medina, Ohio, product picked up a pair of wins in the A-10 Championship against George Mason before falling to top-seeded George Washington in the semifinals.
In addition to being named Most Outstanding Rookie, Jacob was also named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference first team along with his brother Ethan, a three-time honoree.
Richmond's first ranked player in program history, Ethan ended the season with a No. 122 ranking. The redshirt-junior posted a 17-6 mark this spring for the Spiders at the No. 1 spot, as he faced five top-115 players this season and picked up a win over ECU's No. 26 Joran Vliegen.
"This is Ethan third-straight year being elected to the A-10 first team all-conference," added Johnson. "He has put in a lot of work during the off seasons and has improved greatly. It is a well-deserved honor especially since the conference has improved so much over the last four years."
The Spiders finished the season 11-14 with advancing to the A-10 Semifinals and faced eventual conference champions, No. 52 George Washington. Richmond picked up conference victories over St. Bonaventure, George Mason and Saint Joseph's.

AGTO Joins The Tourism Alliance
AGTO has become a member of The Tourism Alliance. The Tourism Alliance comprises leading trade associations/trade bodies within the tourism industry. The purpose of the Tourism Alliance is to identify and develop policies and strategies to raise standards and promote quality within the industry and work with and lobby government on all key issues relevant to the growth and development of tourism and its contribution to the economy. Mike Bugsgang, Chief Executive of AGTO said: "The Tourism Alliance plays a vital role in lobbying government on key strategic issues facing the tourism industry. It is therefore important that AGTO is engaged with this work to enable us to keep our members updated on the various aspects of legislation affecting the group travel sector."
Pictured are Mike Bugsgang (left) and Kurt Janson, Director of The Tourism Alliance.
AGTO is looking to recruit new group organiser members with a campaign that will include the introduction of an Ambassador scheme and additional member benefits. The Ambassador scheme will see the Association's existing 400 GTO members wear a specially designed badge to identify them as an AGTO representative at trade shows and other events. This will enable them to engage with prospective new organiser members and talk to them about the benefits of joining AGTO. A series of briefing sessions and an incentive scheme will operate to assist existing members to undertake this work.

Getting in some active quality time, Karissa Shannon and Sam Jones III were spotted out for an early morning workout in Los Angeles yesterday (October 7).
The Playboy Playmate and the "Smallville" stud both looked fit as they stretched out and went for a run together.
And of course there has been all kinds of buzz regarding Karissa and Sam's brand new celebrity sex tape, which released this week.
"Karissa Shannon Superstar" is already making waves, and neither Karissa nor Sam seem nearly as upset about it as they were when the whole ordeal began.
Enjoy the pictures of Karissa Shannon out for a workout (October 7).
