Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley ties the knot!
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley is a married man.
People.com says the country star and his bride, Brittney Cole, exchanged vows in a small ceremony Monday at the singer's home in Nashville.
Brian admits everything about their wedding has been "non-traditional" - he never formally proposed but they had "just fallen in love."
#vegas #hashtag #. pic.twitter.com/PBLwXxU5dd
— Brittney-Marię (@B___Cole) December 12, 2013
Brian and Brittney tied the knot after seven months of dating, but Kelley says they've known each other for a few years. He explains that when they first met they were both in other relationships. But Kelley says Cole was his "dream girl," and he knew if he became single again he'd want "a chance with her." He adds that when he and Brittney met again earlier this year, they could tell instantly that they had "something real."
Kelley says he and Brittney want to have kids - eventually. He explains that his life is just "too crazy" right now to start a family. However, Brian says they are planning on getting a dog next year.
Congrats to the happy couple!

The Commonwealth Bank has unveiled a monster $8.68 billion profit but there are growing concerns its best performances may be behind it.
Australia's biggest lender lifted its cash profit 12 per cent for the year to June 30, delivering the largest profit ever posted by an Australian bank.
But with interest rates set to go up in the next year, analysts question whether the bank can continue to deliver that kind of growth.
For his part, chief executive Ian Narev, was cautiously optimistic on the outlook.
"We're still fundamentally quite positive, although aware of the fact that there are some risks to the downside as there are some opportunities to the upside," he said.
"I do think we are in an environment, particular in terms of the global environment, where significant uncertainty still exists and I think as the head of a financial institution we need a degree of conservatism."
But he said Australians should take its latest profit result as a sign of the strength of the economy.
"A good strong profit result should be a sign of confidence in the economy," he said.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has kept the cash rate at 2.5 per cent for more than a year but is expected to start hiking in 2015, which could slow growth in the housing and share markets and lead to an increase in defaults.
CSLA banking analyst Brian Johnson pointed to the bank's credit quality as a sign of possible weakness to come.
He said the bank had benefited from an ongoing reduction in loan loses in recent years as interest rates fell.
Loan impairments down 12 per cent to $953 million for 2013/14, but were up nine per cent during the second half.
"For a number of years you have seen very, very low loan losses boost their earnings and that's what you see again," he said,
"So a lot of it comes down to do you think that can continue? And in this quarter you saw the loan loss charge go up quite sharply."
Investors were less than impressed with the record profit result, with Commonwealth Bank shares down 73 cents to $80.96 on Wednesday.
The Commonwealth recorded gains across all of its major divisions during the year, with earnings up 12 per cent at its retail banking division and four per cent at its business banking arm.
But the star was the wealth management division, which lifted earnings 17 per cent despite becoming embroiled in a scandal over fraud and misconduct by some advisors.
Mr Narev said the bank was serious about "putting things right" for customers affected by the scandal.
"I and my team have a very genuine commitment that we aim to drive right through the organisation to do the right thing by our customers," he said.
"We've realised that when we don't do that we need to put it right."
The Commonwealth launched a review of the division in July following the release of a damning Senate report.
* Cash profit of $8.68b, up 12 per cent from $7.82b in 2013/14
* Net profit of $8.63b, up 13 per cent from $7.67b
* Fully-franked final dividend of $2.18, up from $2

For more than 50 years, the evangelist's organization has been making films for the purpose of bringing viewers to Christ. And it's worked—more than 2 million times.
Forty years after the fact, Denny Wayman can still remember one of his first experiences with evangelism — and it took place in a movie theatre in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Wayman was still in junior high school when World Wide Pictures, the movie studio founded by evangelist Billy Graham, produced The Restless Ones (1965), a film about juvenile delinquents, teen pregnancy, and other social issues. The film ends with Graham issuing an altar call at one of his crusades, and just as the characters in the movie are encouraged to come forward, so too the audience in the movie theatre was invited to take a stand for Christ. And Wayman was one of the counselors who stood, waiting, at the front.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Four men have been arrested on child pornography charges following a long-running investigation by authorities in southern New Jersey.
The Ocean County prosecutor's office announced Thursday the arrests over the past month or so of 39-year-old Antonio Hidrogo of Lakewood, 32-year-old Dennis R. Hubert of Brick, 24-year-old Anthony Racanelli of Toms River and 25-year-old Michael Garon of Manchester.
All the men face child pornography possession charges. Hidrogo, whose bail has been set at $100,000 also faces pornography distribution charges. Hubert, whose bail is set at $75,000, faces additional charges of child pornography distribution and marijuana possession. Garon, whose bail is set at $75,000, is facing weapons charges in addition to child pornography charges. Racanelli has been released on a summons.
It's not immediately known if any of them have lawyers.

Thomas R. Bloom Appointed GSA's Chief Financial Officer
January 16, 1998
Contact: Bill Bearden
Hap Connors
WASHINGTON, DC�The U.S. General Services Administration announced today the appointment of Thomas R. Bloom as the agency's Chief Financial Officer, effective February 1.
As CFO, Bloom will oversee GSA's financial management, including budgeting, accounting, cash management, payroll, financial reporting, strategic planning and performance measurement. With financial responsibility of $43 billion a year in government-wide procurement and an annual budget of $13 billion, GSA's CFO manages financial operations on a scale comparable to a Fortune 500 company.
In making the appointment, GSA Administrator David J. Barram said, "Thomas Bloom brings extensive public and private sector experience to this position. We are fortunate to have him as part of our innovative management team that is creating a new GSA."
Bloom comes to GSA from the U.S. Department of Education, where he has been the Inspector General since 1995. He led an independent organization that conducted audits, investigations and fraud control, and designated security services related to programs and operations of the Department. Moreover, he recommended to the Secretary and Congress ways to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the administration of programs and operations.
In 1997, Bloom, a certified public accountant, was appointed to a four-year term on the Advisory Council on Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book). The Council advises the Comptroller General on auditing standards issues throughout the standard-setting process. Council members are involved in the identification, development, issuance and application of revisions to the standards.
Prior to his service at Education, Bloom served as the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for Administration at the Department of Commerce. In that position, he was responsible for all financial, administrative and budget management issues.
From 1988 to 1993, Bloom was a senior audit partner with the national certified public accounting firm Kenneth Leventhal & Company in its Dallas and Washington, DC offices. He was the firm's director of Governmental Services and co-chair of its Financial Institution Practice.
As an accounting fellow and later the chief accountant for the Federal Home Loan System from 1985 to 1988, Bloom was the senior accounting and auditing authority for regulation of the troubled thrift industry.
Bloom's other professional experience includes nine years with two international public accounting firms, rising from junior staff accountant to partner. He also served as the comptroller at Schoolcraft Community College in Livonia, MI, in the early 1980s.
In l975, Bloom earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and accounting from the University of Michigan. He and his wife, Sara Nelson Bloom, have one child, Pearce, and reside in Great Falls, Virginia.
The U.S. General Services Administration was created in 1949 to provide expertly managed space, supplies, services, solutions and policies, at best value, to help federal government agencies perform their missions. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the agency has 14,000 employees in 11 regions across the country. A non-mandatory source of supplies, over 98% of GSA's annual $13 billion budget is generated from reimbursable funding for services provided to other federal agencies.

The proper dose for most
DHEA is essentially a fairly powerful hormone. And most people take way too much throwing off the body's internal balance. This is a perfect dose for me (and likely most people) and relatively hard to find. DHEA in this dose has lots of benefits.
Night time version of ginseng
Publicado por Reviewer1052383 en May 03, 2009 | Compra Verificada
Similar to ginseng but doesn't keep you awake at night. Effects are most noticable after a few days of steady use.
Hard to find organic whey
Even my local "mega" and "super" supplement stores don't stock a single organic whey powder. This stuff mixes fairly well, tastes decent, and doesn't have any signficant carbs or nasty artificial sweeteners. The only downside is it's a bit expensive per pound. But given what they feed some dairy cattle it might be worth the price premium. Some whey comes from China and you have to REALLY wonder about some of that stuff given the whole melamine debacle.
Taste good, high protein, nothing evil, but high carb
A lot of "sports protein" bars are loaded up with nasty refined sugars, tons of glucose (to make the carb numbers look better), and/or a bunch of hard to pronounce ingredients. Others have nasty soy protein. These have a decent ingredient list and claim to have a low glycemic index. They also taste pretty good. The bad news is they still have a lot of carbs. And I'm not so sure they're as low glycemic as claimed as I clearly "crash" an hour or so after eating one. I tend to eat one half at a time to help avoid the carb rush. But they make a decent meal replacement bar--especially if you're not worried about carbs.
Taste fine, good dosage
Publicado por Reviewer1052383 en Dec 09, 2011 | Compra Verificada
Another good value from Now Foods. The B12 in most multi-vitamins isn't enough for a lot of people.
Makes for a less stressful day
These really help maintain a bit more calm during the stressful times of a day. I notice a significant difference in days with and without them. They also say Theanine helps memory/learning.
Unlike many, these work
These have a good combination of sleep aids without overdosing on melatonin (a common flaw with many sleep aids, it's a hormone and requires caution--even 1 mg is questionable and many sleep formulas have even higher amounts). They help me fall asleep and stay sleeping better than anything else I've tried.
Rare organic, more easily swallowed but a bit expensive.
It's hard to find bulk organic psyllium. And it has a finer texture than many making it somewhat easier to swallow. But it's many times the price of some.
Tasty and a decent price
I like my almonds raw to get the maximum nutritional benefit (dry roasting destroys lots of the essential oils and other things). These are addictively tasty and reasonably priced.
Great taste and organic
It's hard to find organic pumpkin seeds in local stores. These are great.

Made from the blue agave plant, the extracted juice is fermented in vats and distilled. Much like the restrictions placed on whisky labeled as Scotch, there are certain requirements for tequila to deserve the term. Tequila is restricted to the distilled liquor made predominantly in Jalisco, Mexico and a few other specified areas.
Tequila, as with other spirits, can be aged to bring out a different flavor profile and appearance. Silver tequila can be pumped into wooden barrels for the mellower flavor of tequila reposado. Añejo, or aged tequila, must be matured for months to take on the flavors from the wood. We would never stop you from drinking tequila as a shooter, but remember there are other options. Instead of kicking it back, take a moment to note the aromas and flavors the way you would with wine. Tequila can range from peppery notes to honey, vanilla, and floral tones.
Once you appreciate the more complex side of tequila, think about cocktails and mixing agents to bring out its natural profile. We recommend fresh ingredients to bring out the full potential of tequila as a sipping drink or cocktail. Margaritas are a traditional favorite, but bring other tequila cocktails into the mix, too. Try a variation of the Paloma or the matador, or substitute tequila in your martini for an extra kick.
Buy tequila online at Wine Chateau to appreciate the other side of this Mexican spirit. We offer traditional silver tequila as well as many of its variations. Find your favorite brand or branch out with a new variation of añejo. Whether you're looking for a special edition or just enough to get you by for a celebration, visit us to purchase tequila online.

5 AnnaSophia Robb Looks We Love
These five getups prove that AnnaSophia Robb has the style chops to fill Carrie Bradshaw's Manolos in the upcoming 'Carrie Diaries.'
-Diana Denza
AnnaSophia Robb made us teary-eyed as the ill-fated Leslie Burke in Bridge to Terabithia and inspired us as one-armed surfer Bethany Hamilton in Soul Surfer. The starlet is slated for a fashion forward future as the young Carrie Bradshaw in the CW's Carrie Diaries, which will premiere this fall.
But even without those pricey Carrie-inspired duds, Robb has a fashion sense that would make any future Vogue journalist proud. Here are five of her best style moments.
1. Teen Choice Awards 2011
Robb rocked a one-shoulder Malandrino dress with original, standout patterning at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. Plus, the bright pink hues gave her skin a rosy glow. Pretty in pink is a huge understatement.
2. 2011 Kid's Choice Awards
At the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards, the teen actress was charming in an age appropriate frock by AllSaints. Easy, breezy, and beautiful!

3. Promoting Soul Surfer in New York City 2011
Robb hit the Big Apple in style as she arrived at Planet Hollywood in Times Square. Donning a leather jacket and matching boots, the typically feminine star exuded a rocker chic vibe –and we can't get enough!
4. 2011 ESPN X Games 17 Kick-Off Bash
Robb kept it cool and casual at the 2011 ESPN X Games 17 Kick-Off Bash in a Chloe K lace tank and a Splendid maxi skirt.
5. 46th Annual American Country Music Awards-2011

You are right in your instinct that the password should be secure enough, I highly doubt someone brute forced that. It is possible that they set up an "evil twin" (google it), scan the area for multiple AP's on your friends SSID.
Hello all,
My friend recently asked me to check out her network due to suspicions of other people stealing their bandwidth. Lo and behold, with a WPA password of "letmeinnow", the neighbors were indeed showing up in the router clients list. From a hard line, I upgraded her to WPA2 with AES, and her password is now 16 seemingly random (non-dictionary, at least) upper and lowercase letters with digits interspersed. I figured this would be enough, but a few days later the same computers came up on the clients list, and the bandwidth is once again drained.
Unfortunately, this is where my knowledge runs out. My largest wordlist (purehate's 3 GB list) contains nothing like their password, and using a generator starting at 8 characters and working up to 16 would take years even on a decent computer running pyrit.
My question to you is this: Did someone finally break WPA2 and AES and I just missed it? Is there some possible exploit that I've not come across for this? I've heard of spoofing the AP to get a client to send you the authentication key but I've never run across an implementation of it.
You are right in your instinct that the password should be secure enough, I highly doubt someone brute forced that. It is possible that they set up an "evil twin" (google it), scan the area for multiple AP's on your friends SSID.
See if they are actually on the network by monitoring some traffic. They may be showing up on the client list if they've tried to connect using the SSID, but were still locked out at the association phase.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Sounds like she may have a resonably informed person on her hands.
I would personally send them a "net send" message to the device telling them if they don't stop trying to authenicate to her AP you'll take your own actions to make it stop (legally)
First step is to enabling MAC filtering on your girls AP. Fire up wireshark, create a deauthenicate packet filter and see if they try grabbing a handshake from her connected client's.
Other than that, WPA-PSK cracking is just like the traditional password cracking. The bad news is, the minimum useable length is quite long enough to make full brute force infeasible. What's worse, there is no limit to which character sets will be used. Unlike an italian auction website, a random wifi cracker also won't have an idea of what native language his target is using making letter frequency analysis and markov chains ineffective other than knowing that the SSID sounds like a spanish word.
Although most likely they would, users are not even required to create memorable WPA PSKs since they only have to enter it once in their laptop and Windows will memorize it for them.
Thank you all for your replies, they've given me a lot to look into. I'm also glad to know I'm not crazy.
@scottsee, she didn't want mac filtering because they use enough different computers and have people over often enough that it would just be easier to buy a couple of really long cables and a hub. And I thought net send was disabled by default on newer versions of Windows, and doesn't exist at all on linux, but I could be wrong.
@mikec I'll check on the evil twin thing. It certainly looks interesting and I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it before now.
@Thorn The reason they thought the person had gotten on their network again was because of a sudden loss of bandwidth that had shown up the first time someone else was on their network, and was there again. I'll certainly have to check the traffic now.
Unless the AP is set to ignore 'b' devices (i.e. it's preset to "g only" mode), anytime a 'b' device attempts to join a 'g' network, the speed automatically drops down to 11mbps or slower to accommodate the slower device.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.

It might have slipped your notice, but the Evangelical Outpost found six Torrey Honors students who were keen on writing, tsk-tsked at our lonely Blogspots and well-hidden journals, and invited us into the open, the fray of forum blogging. Instead of constantly writing by ourselves (and mostly, for ourselves), the forum-structure offers a chance to refine our blog posts with dialogue. The major premise of EO content isn't a particular theme or audience; it's inter-editorial feedback. So, I won't say they let us go completely unscathed, not with the weekly grooming and shearing our pieces get. We subscribe to the blog-dialogue approach, where every post is part of a larger conversation.
Sometimes, Facebook feed and daily blog skimming unearths posts which are actually aspiring to be essays—pieces that stand-alone on internal consistency and supported argument. Timothy Bartel recommends an excellent set of questions for what qualifies as a good 'essay-post.' But that's not the only way to read or write. In fact, it's rare in the blogging world. Several of us are looking into what we do with those messier, less-polished posts that don't deserve the wide, public audience an essay would. Rebecca Card-Hyatt suggests we are writing for a difference audience: peers, friends and like-minds.
The future for blog-dialogue offers several promising effects:
Relevance / 'In Real Time'
Write a review of a presidential debate. Then, refine it for a month until it qualifies as an essay. There's too much distance. While the written response might be insightful, interest in the instigating event has already peaked and disappeared. Our friends have already watched, opined about and moved beyond the following four debates. Essays aren't naturally conducive to interacting with fast-paced culture. One alternative is to devote all blog posts to what's transcendent, limiting ourselves to only abstract ideas and excluding current events. That's a limiting alternative, however. range of interests, though. For me, writing in conversation with like-minds runs on a spectrum of interests, including everything from the ordinary to the sublime. All due respect to the ordinary, writing quickly is the way to keep pace with up-to-date topics.
More critical thinking, not less
Real conversations crumble under the siege of poor speech and lazy thinking. The challenge of having real forward movement required you to move forward at a shared pace, going step by step, thought by thought. Simultaneously, the challenge of communicating to someone else requires you to think through old thoughts in new ways and invent an apt expression for them. The blogger keen for listeners and responses wants the same things as a normal conversationalist, simultaneously aware that blogging is susceptible to sloppiness of thought and delivery but, placed in a dialogue atmosphere, might become an opportunity working out real communication. Each post functions like a few statements, building on previous thoughts and anticipating nearby implications. The guidelines and challenges of an ordinary conversation shape limits for the writer which naturally improve her work.
Layers of timbre
I encounter a lot of over-assertiveness in individual blogs. The writers are distinctly aware that, aside from their font and background color choice, confidence is their only platform. But too often, the anxiety of being their own endorsement makes their tone more obnoxious than persuasive. The blog-dialogue distributes the weight of authority between all the participants, giving everyone a chance to risk sharing their idea without fearing the 'you-don't-sound-expert-enough' response. It allows different timbres to color the general tone: curiosity, concord, humility, uncertainty, etc. Instead of being delivered in one tone bent on asserting the speaker's authority, the blog-dialogue has a layered tonal atmosphere that illumines the topic directly, in addition to highlighting the speaker. The wider range of writers increases the range of readers. The entire team of writers draws an audience of diverse shape, eliciting fresh density to the tone of the pieces. As a result, the audience watches how their attention actually contributing to the conversation, validating their input and watering down the emphasis on who is following, sharing or tweeting whom.
Images seeped with memories. Rock-bottom questions. Words with long histories. Inside jokes. Recurrences are facilitators of our best conversations. They are reminders of how common understanding between people makes listening worthwhile. They function as comfortable resting points during strong disagreement. Ultimately, they support our weird questions and crazy assertions with credible backstory. Spouting out statement after statement like meteors that light up and then die keeps a writer on a surface his audience can instantly access. Without backstory with his audience, he won't reach the level of discourse where his thoughts begin to build new ideas on familiar concepts.
The outworking of blog-dialogue continues to evolve. Some actually address their posts to their intended reader, as though writing a letter. Others have a heyday with embedded links, drawing lines out to as many available perspectives as possible. At the Evangelical Outpost, there's always a dialogue behind the scenes in the editorial process. The future of the approach doesn't require commitment to any one tactic. Blog-dialogue will and continues to occur wherever online publication multiplies one thought into several ideas, one question into network of thought-projects, and one person into a community.

By Bill Sheets Herald Writer
EVERETT — Two giant turbines generating power from tides at the bottom of Admiralty Inlet would not harm the surrounding environment, according to a federal study.
The study could ease the way for the Snohomish County PUD to go ahead with its pilot project to create electricity from tidal currents.
Some opposition remains, however.
Pacific Crossing of Danville, Calif., owns two fiberoptic cables that run near where the turbines would be placed. The cables extend a total of more than 13,000 miles in a loop from Harbour Pointe in Mukilteo to Ajigaura and Shima, Japan, and Grover Beach, Calif.
The company plans to challenge the report's findings, said Kurt Johnson, chief financial officer for Pacific Crossing.
The company is concerned that the cables could be damaged by the placement of the 350-ton turbines or by anchors from boats in the area, he said.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 215-page draft report concludes that the turbines pose no threat to the cables or surrounding wildlife habitat.
"From our perspective, the environmental assessment didn't contain any surprises," said Craig Collar, senior manager for energy resource development at the PUD. "We're pleased."
A final report still must be written. The public may comment on the report through Feb. 14. A final environmental assessment could be written this spring and a license for the project could follow, PUD officials said.
If the PUD gets a license this spring, it could follow through with its plan to order two turbines from OpenHydro of Ireland and get them in the water as soon as mid-2014, Collar said.
The company supplied the equipment for a pilot project in Scotland, one of only a handful of tidal power operations around the world, according to the PUD.
The project is expected to cost $20 million to $25 million. The PUD has received nearly half of that amount in a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The two turbines are expected to generate 1 megawatt of power during peak times and an average of 100 kilowatts, enough to power nearly 700 homes. If the system works well, the PUD will consider expanding the program, officials have said.
Each circular turbine resembles a giant fan, sitting about 65 feet high on a triangular platform with dimensions of about 100 feet by 85 feet.
In the pilot project, the turbines would be placed in a flat area 200 feet underwater about 575 and 770 feet from the fiberoptic cables.
Officials with the PUD submitted to the federal agency a list of precautions that crews would take when operating near the turbines. The most important of these, Collar said, is that boats would stay running when in the area to eliminate the need for dropping an anchor.
"That's great if things go perfectly according to plan," Johnson said. Still, a boat could run into trouble and be forced to drop an anchor, he said.
For placing the turbines, OpenHydro officials have told those at the PUD they can get them within 10 feet of their target locations, Collar said.
Johnson said there's no guarantee a winch would not fail in the placement process, throwing the turbine off its target.
Another issue, raised by the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, concerned potential impact on native plants on the island shoreline where the transmission line from the tidal turbine would hook into the grid.
The PUD has an agreement with the owner of a home on the beach at Keystone to build a shed or garage on the property, utility spokesman Neil Neroutsos said. The transmission line would run into the shed, which would house a converter, and a line would run from there to overhead power lines.
"It's an uncommon coastal community on cobble," said Steve Erickson of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network. The plan "is not really in keeping with the site."
The federal report concluded that native plants on the island would not be affected by the work.
Some state and county requirements will still have be fulfilled. The tidal power plan is part of the PUD's long-term effort to diversify its power sources. The utility currently buys 86 percent of its electricity from the Bonneville Power Administration, with most of the rest coming from a mix of small local dams and purchased wind power.

Five years ago, the George E. Wahlen Veterans Affairs Medical Center began a chaplain-training program that many Utah men and women considered a godsend.
At last, they could get professional training to do what their hearts desired: Help people deal with the spiritual aspects of suffering through illness, death, homelessness, addiction or imprisonment.
More than two dozen people took part in yearlong training at Salt Lake City's VA, which, unlike an older and more intensive chaplain-training program at St. Mark's Hospital, allowed them to keep their day jobs.
Now, the VA chaplain-training program has ended, and the man who started it, VA Chaplain Mark Allison, is suing the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy (CPSP) the organization that formerly accredited him to teach as well as several of its officers and a former colleague, Gene Slade, chaplain at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo.
In a 3rd District Court lawsuit, Allison accuses the CPSP and the other defendants of disparaging him to the point that he no longer can teach clinical pastoral education in Utah hospitals, including the VA, at a satellite program he says he was starting in Las Vegas, or through a new organization he is creating, the World Spiritual Health Organization. The CPSP pulled Allison's credentials, which allowed him to teach a move he disputes.
The end of the VA program and the new lawsuit are the latest twists in a long history of attempts to bring more professionalism to Utah's chaplaincy, a field that has long reflected the lay ministry tradition of the state's predominant faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
VA spokeswoman Jill Atwood says the Salt Lake City center canceled its program the last class graduated in mid-2011 for reasons unrelated to any dispute between Allison and his credentialing organization.
"We're shifting the model," she says.
The VA now is considering a program to train pastoral counselors, a specialization that would help it better meet the needs of all veterans, including those who return from war with "moral injury," or guilt over what they did or did not do.
"Our past program was awesome," Atwood says, "but it's time to evolve."
VA Chaplain Joseph Westfall says he doesn't yet have a target date for the program to begin.
Beyond religion • Training and certification standards for chaplains have long been debated. Indeed, there is no consensus on the job's definition, says Robin Black, president of the Utah Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
"What is a chaplain?" she asks. "That is the question of the day."
Still, most chaplains say the job is clear to them: They are not to teach or preach, but to help a person or family deal with the spiritual dimension as they suffer.
"It's about the individual and their journey," says Frank Clawson, director of military relations for the LDS Church. He supervises 84 Mormon military chaplains and chaplains at VA hospitals who have the church's endorsement.
Chaplains can help connect people to their own clergy, but they also provide comfort for those who are unaffiliated or eschew religion.
"It's 'how can I be a friend right now?' " says Lissa Last, a hospice chaplain who graduated from the VA program in 2010.
She once went to considerable effort to connect a dying patient, a homeless Vietnam veteran who had long been out of touch, with his siblings back East. The reunion gave him great comfort, even though he wanted nothing to do with religion.
"Many things can bring peace," Last says.
Increasing demand • Chaplains work in prisons, jails, social service agencies, corporations and hospitals, but the growing hospice industry, fed by an aging population, has created greater demand than ever.
Utah has about 100 hospices.
Americans are also increasingly disconnected from organized religion, and that, likewise, creates more demand for chaplains.
"They don't have a spiritual provider," says Black, a hospice nursing supervisor. "We're trying to step into that role."
Aside from the military and federal prisons, the government sets no standards for how much theological or clinical training a chaplain should have.
Medicare, which funds much of hospice care, and joint commissions for hospitals require only that hospitals and hospices tend to patients' spiritual needs.
In Utah, that often has meant hiring former LDS bishops or stake presidents as chaplains, just as in other regions Baptist ministers, Jewish rabbis or Catholic nuns often serve as chaplains.
Increased competition among hospices and hospitals, however, has many employers seeking chaplains who have at least some clinical pastoral education and, sometimes, a master's degree in theology or divinity.
The Rev. Lincoln Ure, the Episcopal priest who runs the clinical pastoral-education program at St. Mark's Hospital, estimates he has trained 200 students to be chaplains there during the past 25 years.
The program is one of more than 300 around the country accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, a 45-year-old group that itself has U.S. Department of Education accreditation.
"It is considered the benchmark," says Clawson, the LDS Church's military-relations director.
With enough clinical training at an ACPE center and a master's degree in theology or divinity, a chaplain can seek board certification through the Association of Professional Chaplains or through Jewish, Catholic or other chaplain groups that share the same standards.
The CPSP split off from the ACPE more than 20 years ago, preferring a less top-down approach and one that provides more peer review and board certification at the local level.
CPSP has four chapters in Utah and more than 40 members.
Slade, the chaplain at Utah Valley Regional and one of the defendants in Allison's lawsuit, continues to teach student chaplains under the auspices of CPSP.
In an answer filed in 3rd District Court this week to Allison's lawsuit, the CPSP does not explain why it pulled Allison's credentials.
He says it was retaliation because he wouldn't drop the matter when one of his chaplain graduates accused a CPSP official of sexual harassment during a 2010 visit to Salt Lake City.
CPSP acknowledges there was a complaint of "alleged offensive conduct," but denies any retaliation.
Clawson says Allison retains his endorsement as an LDS chaplain for his work at the VA and Wyoming National Guard. Allison formerly was a Utah National Guard chaplain.
"We don't take sides in such issues," Clawson said.

Only one primetime game. Ah, well, the Bengals will show them all that they are missing out on some entertaining football this year. An explosive offense with emerging stars in Chad Johnson, Carson Palmer, and Rudi Johnson. If the defense can put it together, they are going to win a lot of entertainihng games this year.

I think this schedule is about as good as we could hope. While Monday and Sunday night games are great and fun, they are not important to the team winning. Last year, we did great on Monday and Sunday night games and put up great ratings, and responded by losing the very next games against Baltimore and Tennessee. I think not having those games will turn out better for us. Also, we have a very favorable early schedule. Opening against the Browns, Vikings, Chicago, Houston, and Jacksonville, we could flip that 1-4 from last season to 4-1. We also play our away division games early and get the home ones later in the season. We also get a break in week 10 to study up and get ready for Indianapollis to come to town. That might be the difference between having a chance against them and getting blown away. Overall, the only games that worry me are Minnesota, Tennessee, and Kansas City. Minnesota has been a great team in the first 6 games of the last few years. We get Tennessee after a prime time game just like last year. We lost last year, hope it doesn't happen twice. We get Kansas City on the last day of the year. That could be a nail bitter. It will be cold, windy, and the fans get crazy out there. They could need to win that game to get in the playoffs and could be extra motivated from the game two years ago. Just something to think about. Here's my early prediction.
Cleveland= W
Minnesota= W
Chicago= W
Houston= L
Jacksonville= W
Tennessee= W
Pittsburgh= W
Green Bay= W
Baltimore= L
Indianapollis= L
Baltimore= W
Pittsburgh= W
Cleveland= W
Detroit= L
Buffalo= W
Kansas City= L
Bengals= 11-5 Division Champs
Baltimore= 10-6 Wild Card
Pittsburgh= 8-8
Cleveland= 2-14
1.Indianapollis= 13-3
2.New England= 11-5
3.Cincinnati= 11-5
4.San Diego= 10-6
5.Jacksonville= 10-6
6.Baltimore= 10-6
Wild Card=
San Diego v. Jacksonville= San Diego
Cincinnati v. Baltimore= Cincinnati
New England v. Cincinnati= Cincinnati
Indianapollis v. San Diego= Indianapollis
Indianapollis v. Cincinnati= Indianapollis
Too far away to predict, but I think Indianapollis will be just as dominanat as ever. I don't see them losing but one game in their division, one at New England, and one more along the way.
I think New England will have more trouble than anyone predicts getting to 11-5. They will be lucky to get that record with their schedule (it is brutal!). They still win the division because of New York's even tougher schedule and Buffalo starting Losman, but they will need key wins late in the year to get there. They won't be the same without Teddy, Law, Romeo, and Weis.
I think Carson will come out firing just like last year on the road. Only this time we get a much easier game against Cleveland. That will translate into a good start against a much easier early schedule. I think we loose the tye breaker to New England because of 4-5 of our losses coming against the AFC.
I think San Diego should have a parade for Eli Manning this year when they play this season. They will win the West, but barely. They have two first round picks that will upgrade their team that was awsome last year. I think They will struggle in their divison, and might only end up 3-3 because of the competiton. I think Denver will end up in the cellar for this years surprise bust. Oakland will be the Indianapollis of the west, and will outscore some teams to manage 7-9, but not much better. I think KC will get back into the mix and end up 10-6, but loose the tie breaker to SD because of record against the AFC.
As for the wild card, I think Jacksonville makes up for missing out last year, and Baltimore will still be a solid team, and even better if Boller gets a new toy in the draft, but not good enough for divison champs. They will not score too many points, and will hang Boller once he throws two pics and fumbles once in their loss to Cincinnati in the Wild Card game.
We came close this year to beating New England, but the tables are turned when we shut down Corey Dillon and make New England fans think twice about giving him a new contract.
I can't wait!!!!!

I think 11-5 is a complete possibility. I could see us, despite our troubles during the early part of the season, winning 6 of 7 to start. Which means we'd only have to win 4 of 9 to likely be in the playoffs (although I wouldn't want to enter the playoffs on a three game L streak). I think that 5-1 against the division might be a little out there given the toughness of the division but I just hope that Marvin has those boys ready for Cleveland (unlike the last time in Cle.).

Why not? We could have done that last year. We lost to Pittsburgh twice by 9 points total. We were on track to beat the Patriots untill Palmer got hurt. We lost New York and Tennessee by 7 points because of Palmer's rookie mistakes. Put those together and we go 13-3! I know Palmer blew some games with his early mistakes, but did you watch the end of year. He looked like Brett Farve out there. Also, we were 8-8 with a defense full of rookies. You can't tell me that they won't be better this year after a year in the system. We got the perfect compliment to John Thornton in Bryan Robinson. The reason he struggled was because he didn't have a space eater next to him. I think this is completely possible. We saw the real Pittsburgh against New England last year, and now they don't have Burress, Rothelisburger's favorite target. I think he will get into a sophmore slump without him. I know it is optimistic, but I think I can give a good reason why we nearly all of our games next year. We were 8-8 against the top defenses every single week. This season, we get much easier defenses to play than last year; AND we get most of the harder teams at home as opposed to playing the Jets, New England, and Philly on the road. We will have P-Dub back, and he will thrive in a contract year. Think Justin SMith won't be trying to up his sack numbers more than ever in the last year of his contract? Yeah, that's why 11-5!

I think 11-5 is a little overly optimistic, but I think 10-6 is very possible.
I am less worried about Minnesota because I think they will take some time to get all their new defensive players playing as a unit. I prefer to catch them early.
Also, I don't fear Tennessee because they are going through a year of salary cap hell. Yes, we have trouble playing there but this year it doesn't look too bad.
It is also nice to get that week off before Indy. Hopefully we don't have the injury problems of last year and need an early bye week. It is also nice to play at Baltimore the week after they have a tough MNF at Pitt.

I'd like to start by commending
on his comments and analysis. I pretty much agree with everything. It's all very well thought out and expressed.
, I agree with you, too. This will be one exciting season. The Bengals bandwagon is gonna start to really fill up. But I want everyone to remember who was here through the days of Dave Shula, Ki-Janna Carter, Shake 'N Blake, and so on...It's time for us true fans to have some fun in the sun.
I don't mean to sound critical, but how's 11-5 so overly optimistic when 10-6 is completely reasonable? I know one game can mean everything in the NFL. But a couple bad bounces or untimely injuries could leave them at .500 again, while some good fortune and/or good health can lift them to 11, 12, even 13 wins (that's not a prediction--but anything can happen).
I'd say they'll reach double digit wins this year. There's not a game on their schedule that they can't win. But there's also not a game that they can't lose. The team MUST show up EVERY week. No let downs. No costly late picks (vs. the Jets, Steelers, and Ravens) or fumbles (Titans). If they show up week in and week out and play Bengals football, the sky's the limit.
If anyone needs a reminder that anything can happen, think back to last season when Miami beat New England on MNF. Or, a better example would be--2003. Kansas City at Cincinnati. If you don't remember that game, then get out of this forum

BitFenix, a Taiwan-based startup which aims to develop hardware and peripherals specifically targeting PC gamers, has launched its first product, a full tower E-ATX PC chassis dubbed the Colossus.
Colossus is available in Monolith Black or Glacier White and combines an aggressive futuristic design with clean modern lines, according to the company. Its top and front surfaces are coated with proprietary BitFenix SofTouch coating, which not only provides aesthetic appeal, but protects the surface from stains. The LED lighting system adorning the front door and side panels provide even lighting, and can be switched between red or blue with the touch of a button. The lighting also has three selectable modes: on, pulse, and off, giving users control over the ambiance of their computing environment.
Located at the very top of the chassis is the BitFenix S3TM, a combination storage and security system in one. With S3, users can place their mobile phone, hard disk, USB drives, or other valuables inside and easily lock them away for safe keeping. Inside S3, users will find two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports ready to connect to an ever-growing ecosystem of USB 3.0 devices.
Colossus also features a PWM fan controller that grants users more precise control over their fan speeds without the need for proprietary fans, and is the first chassis to feature both internal and external cable management.
BitFenix Colossus will be available on retail shelves mid-September with an estimated retail price of 159 euro or US$169.

FBI Blows It: Supposed Terror Plot Against NY Synagogues Is Bogus
By Robert Dreyfuss, The Nation
May 23, 2009
By the now, it's maddeningly familiar. A scary terrorist plot is announced. Then it's revealed that the suspects are a hapless bunch of ne'er-do-wells or run-of-the-mill thugs without the slightest connection to any terrorists at all, never mind to Al Qaeda. Finally, the last piece of the puzzle: the entire plot is revealed to have been cooked up by a scummy government agent-provocateur.
I've seen this movie before.
In this case, the alleged perps -- Onta Williams, James Cromitie, David Williams, and Laguerre Payen -- were losers, ex-cons, drug addicts. Al Qaeda they're not. Without the assistance of the agent who entrapped them, they would never have dreamed of committing political violence, nor would they have had the slightest idea about where to acquire plastic explosives or a Stinger missile. That didn't stop prosecutors from acting as if they'd captured Osama bin Laden himself. Noted the Los Angeles Times:
Prosecutors called it the latest in a string of homegrown terrorism plots hatched after Sept. 11.
Actually, it's hard to imagine a stupider, less competent, and less important plot. The four losers were ensnared by a creepy FBI agent who hung around the mosque in upstate New York until he found what he was looking for. Here's the New York Times account:
Salahuddin Mustafa Muhammad, the imam at the mosque where the authorities say the confidential informant first encountered the men, said none of the men were active in the mosque. ...
So a creepy thug buttonholes people at a mosque, foaming at the mouth about violence and jihad? This is law enforcement? Just imagine if someone did this at a local church, or some synagogue. And the imam says the people "believed he was a government agent."
Preying on these losers, none of whom were apparently actual Muslims, the "confidential informant" orchestrated the acquisition of a disabled Stinger missile to shoot down military planes and cooked up a wild scheme about attacking a Jewish center in the Bronx.
The only one of the four suspects who appears to have aroused any suspicion was Payen, a Haitian native who attended the Newburgh mosque. Assistant imam Hamid Rashada said his dishevelment and odd behavior disturbed some members, said the assistant imam, Hamid Rashada.
Despite the pompous statements from Mayor Bloomberg of New York and other politicians, including Representative Peter King, the whole story is bogus. The four losers may have been inclined to violence, and they may have harbored a virulent strain of anti-Semitism. But it seems that the informant whipped up their violent tendencies and their hatred of Jews, cooked up the plot, incited them, arranged their purchase of weapons, and then had them busted. To ensure that it made headlines, the creepy informant claimed to be representing a Pakistani extremist group, Jaish-e Muhammad, a bona fide terrorist organization. He wasn't, of course.
It is disgusting and outrageous that the FBI is sending provocateurs into mosques.
The headlines reinforce the very fear that Dick Cheney is trying to stir up. The story strengthens the narrative that the "homeland" is under attack. It's not. As I've written repeatedly, since 9/11 not a single American has even been punched in the nose by an angry Muslim, as far as I can tell. Plot after plot -- the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge! bombing the New York Subways! taking down the Sears Tower! bombing the Prudential building in Newark! -- proved to be utter nonsense.

The Newburgh Four -- And The Goverment Mole Who Betrayed Them
By Zachary Roth - May 22, 2009
We're starting to get a rich picture of the four hapless Jihadis who were arrested Wednesday night for plotting to bomb two New York synagogues, as well as the FBI informant who deceived them. And the overall portrait that's emerging is that of a group of struggling, disaffected petty criminals, who bonded at a Newburgh, NY mosque over having spent time in prison, before being taken in by a Pakistani immigrant looking to win leniency for a crime of his own.
There's little doubt the bumbling would-be bombers went far enough with the plot to demonstrate that they had the intention to commit terror, and for that they'll pay the price. But the whole tale comes off perhaps more as a sad glimpse into the lives of a loose group of aimless and obscurely embittered Americans than as a dire illustration of the threat of home-grown terrorism.
Based on reports in the New York Times, Post, and Daily News, and the Associated Press, here's what we've learned about five men at the center of plot:
David Cromitie, 44
David Williams, 28
Onta Williams, 32 (no apparent relation to David)
Laguerre Payen, 27
The Informant
It's easy to laugh at this gang of goons -- and we've done our share of that. But, frankly, it's also hard not to feel some compassion for what looks like a group of struggling, credulous, under-educated men, existing on the fringes of society, who lacked the intelligence or willpower to avoid getting taken in by a government informant anxious to mitigate his own situation, and by their own vague understanding of radical Islam and the hole it might fill in their lives.
And as for what this might say about the threat of home-grown terror, it's almost reassuring that the biggest terror bust we've seen in a while has this sad-sack group at his center.

This square dance sequence, called by Bill Heyman, was recorded on July 6, 1986, part of a weekend celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. Click here for information about the event.
Describing the event, Bill Heyman wrote:
Liberty Square Dance - An Expression of the American Spirit
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. . . . . . ."
With this inscription, the Statue of Liberty symbolizes America's welcome to the many millions from all nations of the world who have sought freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Each immigrant brought with him pieces of his own culture and heritage that have blended together over the years. American Square Dancing evolved from its English, Scottish and Irish roots to the dance we love so well today.
It was with great pride and pleasure that I had the honor to represent the Square Dance Calling Community as caller for the square dance segment of the Liberty Weekend Closing Ceremonies. On Sunday, July 6, 1986, 208 dancers from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania helped celebrate the rededication of the Statue of Liberty by performing a square dance routine wonderfully choreographed by caller Dick Pasvolsky. Dick selected moves from both the Traditional, as well as the Modern Western Programs and these were enhanced with some styling flourishes to meet the needs of a world-wide TV audience. Seen by 70,000 people in Giants Stadium and over 200 million TV viewers, what better way to project the real fun and fellowship which we all enjoy by dancing. Based on the reaction of the stadium audience as well as mail and telephone responses, we hope that this positive event will have a direct impact on the interest in our activity in the coming years.
