It really was a fun weekend of football. In the SEC it looked like Georgia has come back from dead. I don't really have any favorite teams in the conference other than Auburn, but I will say I was glad to see Kentucky win on Saturday night
I really think that Kentucky's Mike Hartline is the second best quarterback in the conference and he is just having a great year. He did the same thing against South Carolina's defense that he did against Auburn. That was exciting football.
It was a really different type of game, but it was exciting for Mississippi State to go to Florida and beat a team the Bulldogs weren't supposed to beat. Watching how hard the Bulldogs played against Auburn, I am not surprised that they played well in Gainesville.
I watched most of Ole Miss vs. Alabama game on Saturday night. Alabama played well enough to win, but didn't look like it had fully recovered from its loss to South Carolina. If Ole Miss doesn't drop eight or 10 passes that was going to be a close ball game. The Ole Miss receivers dropped passes all over the field and the Rebels couldn't run much.
Around the nation this week the LSU at Auburn game is the big one and there are some other interesting games. One of the betters ones will be Oklahoma playing at Missouri. Oklahoma is a team that won some close games against inferior opponents early in the season, but that might be a team that is putting things together as the season goes along.
Everybody in the polls seems to think Oklahoma is really good so we will see. This game vs. Missouri, even though I am not sure how good Missouri is, will help sort out who is the best in the Big 12 and will have an impact on the national scene that changed again last weekend with No. 1 Ohio State losing.
I watched some of the Ohio State-Wisconsin game after watching the Arkansas at Auburn game. Both Ohio State and Wisconsin have good football teams, but they looked like they were in slow motion after seeing Auburn and Arkansas play.
I am just like everybody else here in Auburn after watching that game on Saturday against Arkansas. I have never seen anything quite like it. Trying to get a handle on what is happening with Auburn's defense and other SEC teams struggling to stop the pass, I think part of the reason is the quality of receivers in the Southeastern Conference this year. It seems like every team in the league has one really good one and some teams like Arkansas have a lot of them.
In fact, I can't think of a time when there were more great receivers in the league. Auburn has one who I believe fits that description in Darvin Adams. When you look at Childs at Arkansas, Jefferies at South Carolina, Jones at Alabama, Cobb at Kentucky and A.J. Greene at Georgia, those guys are great players. Plus, there are a lot of other good receivers across the SEC.
This week when Auburn plays LSU the Tigers will be facing two more really dangerous receivers in Terrance Tolliver and Russell Shepard. It's wild what I am seeing in the SEC this year with the receivers. A lot of times when it looks like you have got them covered they really aren't covered because they find a way to make a great catch.
Against Arkansas the Tigers did a good job against the running game, but got picked apart by passes. You can't look at any game Auburn has played this year and say that Auburn hasn't played hard. Even when Arkansas was moving the ball quickly down the field, at times Auburn had defensive players in position to make plays, but they just didn't make them. That is something that Auburn will need to improve starting this week against LSU.
Offensively, the Tigers were so impressive vs. Arkansas. They scored nearly every time they had the football and the special teams play was excellent, too.
The special teams with the 99-yard kickoff return, the blocked put and the kickoff coverage played a bigger role than in any game this year. Everybody contributed to the win, even the defense, which stopped Arkansas three times in a row by turning the ball over to the offense when the defense rose up when they had to in the fourth quarter.
All things considered, it was a big win for the Tigers and exciting win. We should have another exciting Saturday of college football coming up this week starting right here in Auburn where all of the nation will be watching the LSU at Auburn game, and that is the way it should be with both of the teams undefeated.

by Nathaniel Darnell of Persevero News - Women Against Feminism"A man has no right to define for himself what his wife will do to please him. He must adopt Christ's ideas, as revealed in Scripture, for what a wife must do to be a helpmeet to a husband and for what he must do to love her. Ephesians 5 tells us that this entails him giving up his life for her as Christ does for His Bride the Church. This involves a tremendous amount of unselfishness. It is a spending and being spent for her. What the authority of a man over his wife amounts to is that he is ultimately responsible for what goes wrong in his family.

In the Northeast-10 Conference, over the last five years, three teams have shared the spotlight in the sport of men's lacrosse: Merrimack, Le Moyne, and Adelphi.
For Merrimack, that limelight last came in 2010, when the Warriors defeated Le Moyne in overtime to claim the program's second-ever conference crown. But following back-to-back losses in the title game in 2011 and 2012, Merrimack entered this spring with the bar set higher than ever in recent memory.
Heading into the 2013 campaign, with a loaded roster comprised of arguably the top player in the country, as well as the best goaltender, Merrimack had every right to believe that not only would it contend for the top honors in the NE-10, but in the country.
But three games into the season, Merrimack was still searching for a game in which the entire team – offense, defense and goaltending – excelled altogether.
After a season-opening setback on the road to a Limestone team that ranked among the nation's best, the Warriors bounced back with a character-building road win at a nationally ranked Lake Erie squad before easing past AIC in their conference opener.
That all set the stage for a game that had already been marked on everyone's calendar nationwide. Two longtime rivals, pitting the nation's best offense against the country's top defense; a fifth-ranked Merrimack, at home, against No. 1 ranked Le Moyne.
Within itself, the matchup was nothing more than an important regular season tilt between two of the best teams in the conference, region and nation; but in the grand picture of the 2013 season, the Merrimack-Le Moyne showdown on a Tuesday afternoon in late March at Martone-Mejail Field would be remembered as one of the more memorable meetings this season and beyond.
For the Warriors, the contest started slow for an offense that averaged 12 goals per game in their first three games of the season. In fact, the start of the match could not have gone more to script for the Dolphins, who struck for an early goal in the first quarter before doubling their lead late in the frame, giving the visitors a two-goal advantage after the first.
But it was there, in that moment, down by two against one of the top defensive units in the country, that Merrimack turned to its biggest star of the game. Senior netminder Connor (East Lyme, Conn.) withstood the early onslaught and repelled a barrage of chances from a Le Moyne side that soared out of the gate. Because of his heroics, Merrimack remained very much in contention through a period of play.
And to the best offense in the country, those efforts were a welcome sight, because it was only a matter of time until senior Corey Lunney (Little Silver, N.J.), Greg Melaugh (Billerica, Mass.) and company would settle into a groove themselves.
Following a scoreless second period that saw Reagan turn aside chance after chance from the Dolphins, Merrimack came out of the intermission refocused and rejuvenated, looking to slash away at Le Moyne's two-goal lead.
They would not have to wait long, as just 29 seconds into the third quarter, on a man-up situation, Lunney took a feed from Melaugh and fired a laser past Le Moyne goalkeeper Jeff White to put the home side on the scoreboard. Suddenly, with one strike, the daunting task of cracking a Dolphins defensive unit became a realistic one.
The two sides would go back-and-forth over the remainder of the third, and with just under three minutes to play it appeared as if the Warriors would enter the final stanza down by just one.
That, however, all changed in an instant. With 2:17 to play in the third, it was Lunney again, off a feed from classmate Mike Perdie (Wading River, N.Y.), tossing a quick shot past White, and just like that the contest was tied.
From there, though, the Warriors would not relent, capitalizing with the Dolphins on their heels. With just 54 seconds to play in the third stanza, Melaugh who received a pass from sophomore d-man Brandon Waiter (Westport, Conn.) and promptly beat White on another blistering shot, giving the Navy and Gold a sudden, 3-2 lead heading into the final quarter.
And from there on out, the momentum had fully swung in favor of the home side. Merrimack would out-chance the Dolphins through much of the final quarter before sophomore Jamie Shand (Massapequa, N.Y.) made it a two-goal lead with just over five minutes to go.
Le Moyne would trim the deficit back to one moments later, but junior Brett Axelson (Cazenovia, N.Y.) immediately responded with one final strike to ice it, clinching the Warriors' most impressive and most exciting victories – regular season or postseason – in recent memory.
Making the win that much sweeter was the fact that it snapped Le Moyne's 59-game regular season conference winning streak. Coincidentally enough, the Dolphins' last conference loss before that was to the Warriors back in 2007. It also snapped a 33-game regular season winning streak for Le Moyne, as well.
From there on out, Merrimack would ride that success into a nine-game winning streak that helped it clinch its first-ever share of an NE-10 Regular Season title. By season's end, several individuals would lay claim to conference, regional and national honors, while the team itself enjoyed yet another double-digit win season.
At season's end, Merrimack just missed out on an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, but the 2012-13 campaign will always be highlighted by that victory against Le Moyne, one of the more memorable in program history.

Two Oceans Route2 Feb 2009
As a Vaalie, not continually abreast with local Cape Town news I was disturbed a few weeks ago to hear that all is not well with Chapman's Peak, AGAIN. The local news made National news shortly before the holiday season and suddenly the prospect loomed of the Old Mutual Two Oceans returning to the Ou Kaapse Weg route.
Let me say from the outset that obviously the problems with the Chapmans Peak closure have absolutely nothing to do with the Two Oceans committee, sponsors, helpers etc. Capetonians will know which government department, road agency or engineering company is to blame. They will know whose knuckles need to be rapped. I don't even want to jog down the blame road, yet alone charge down it.
What we runners need to know, ASAP, is over which route the 2009 Two Oceans is being run, traditional or Ou Kaapse?
The simple truth is that most of the runners I know want to run the traditional route. They want that chocolate box photo at the top of Chapman's Peak. They want to gaze at the Sentinel, run through the crowds in Hout Bay and struggle up Constantia Nek.
Given the choice of what is now jokingly known as "The Same Ocean Twice Marathon" or the traditional route, almost every runner I know would like the traditional. For one thing, the Ou Kaapse route is harder, slower and less charismatic. Those borderline silver, Sainsbury and bronze medallists know that the Ou Kaapse route makes that elusive medal even more elusive. The climb goes on forever and then the descent on the other side is precipitous. Southern Cross Drive is a slog and its approaches are a bit tedious.
But there are other considerations apart from medals and times. These are tight economic times. Many of those travelling from up country and from overseas would rather wait and save their money for a traditional route run than travel down for the ou Kaapse route. For some the Two Oceans represents a trip of a lifetime. That trip has to be extra special. The cost of airfares, hotels and their subsequent cancellation can be punitive.
The running community will follow the progress of the Cycle Tour with unusual interest this year. If the bicycles don't go over Chapman's Peak then we runners are unlikely to as well. One of my Cape Town spies tells me that the 42 kilometre marker on the Ou Kaapse route appears to be freshly painted. Is this an ominous sign?
Personally, I will run the Two Oceans on whichever route it is run but I really hope that this April I am able to enjoy the view from of the top of Chapman's Peak once more.

I'm slowly moving over my systems to m0n0wall 1.2. Very impressed so
far, thanks.
I'm using a soekris net4801.
I've put a small switch on my OPT1 interface. This is where I am
putting my servers.
I dont want to have any firewall rules affecting these servers but I do want
traffic shaping to work on here too. (Ive got an Asterisk box in here
with a nic on the LAN too)
I've moved a couple servers in to this OPT1 and they are not working
as I would expect. I seem to be getting intermittent access to them
from the LAN, and no access from WAN side?
Am I missing something obvious.
Which firewall rules would I need to relax etc to affect servers in
the OPT1 bridged network? Is it WAN or OPT1 or both?

SPA swimmers were amongst participants of all ages that dived in to raise cash for St Richard's Hospice during the charity's swimathon event.
Twenty four swimmers were sponsored per length in the splash for cash event which took place at New College, Whittington Road, Worcester, on Sunday, February 3.
Among the younger swimmers were James, 11, Ross, nine, and Jake Clews, eight, from Droitwich. James powered his way through the pool swimming more than 70 lengths in half an hour.
Sarah Patrick, community fundraiser, said: "It was a great atmosphere and it was lovely to see everyone getting involved. There were youngsters who had only recently learned to swim alongside very experienced swimmers. We are hoping the swimathon will raise around £2,500 for St Richard's and want to say a big thanks to all those that took part."
St Richard's Hospice provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and supports their families.

The Roundup for March 27, 2013
{!hitembed ID="hitembed_1″ width="350″ height="197″ align="right" !}
International Developments
? "The International Committee of the Red Cross . . . is urgently sending a doctor to Guantanamo Bay because of a growing hunger strike among detainees."
? Modern warfare's combat goal is "find, fix and finish". Will putting the drone program inside the Pentagon mean the CIA will find and fix with the Pentagon doing the finishing? It might signal the end of drone use as covert, which has major implications.
? "Internally displaced people in Somalia are suffering sexual violence and other forms of abuse".
? "North Korean severs military hotline with South Korea."
International Finance
? In a recent presentation, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi used incorrect data, shutting down French President Hollande's planned economic policies. Corrected data show that "Germany . . . has been a major contributing factor to the crisis."
? Uh-oh. The head of the Bank of Cypress was fired on the instruction of the European Union, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
? Cyprus has announced Capital Controls prior to tomorrow's bank reopening. "[F]oreign transactions and capital outflows" are limited, savings accounts withdrawals restricted, check cashing suspended, etc.
? Then: Iraqi oil will pay for Iraq's reconstruction. Now: "Iraqi oil . . . it's mostly China's."
? 80% of drug arrests at the US-Mexican border are of US citizens.
Money Matters USA
? Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) is urging TARP's special inspector general to investigate FL's mortgage assistance program, the Hardest Hit Fund.
? Wal-Mart's concerned that the probe of its alleged bribery of Mexican officials might hurt its stock.
? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are extending a hand to beleaguered mortgage holders by easing consumer financial documentation requirements. If they do provide the documentation, though, their payments may be reduced further.
Politics USA
? Management move with a Bad Message: "The woman who approved a 2005 decision to destroy video tapes showing prisoners being [tortured] was tapped as acting head of the CIA's clandestine services last month and may assume the job permanently".
? Uh-oh. "Obama To Dine With GOP Senators Again".
? Now that Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) is retiring, his powerful position as Chair of the Senate Banking Committee is up for grabs.
? The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee intends to "devote all of the resources necessary to win" the seat of retiring Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD).
? Ashley Judd is "unable" to run against Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for his seat.
? Republicans are going all NIMBY now that the impacts of sequestration are becoming apparent in their home states and districts–and they're whining.
? Jon Stewart examines the Republican National Committee's latest strategery to make themselves appealing to minorities. Don't miss; scroll to video. Former head of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, doesn't like what his predecessor is doing, either.
? Having been put through the scandal wringer, "Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has seen a recovery in his approval ratings after falling into negative territory only a month ago." Could a really dirty trickster be involved?
? Former FL GOP Chairperson, Jim Greer, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison, 1 year probation for money laundering and theft.
Gun Corner
? Newton, CT's First Selectman (Mayor) Patricia Llodra: "President Obama should have initiated his pursuit for new gun laws in the immediate aftermath" of the massacre last December. Indeed, support for strict gun control laws decreased from 54% in January to 47% yesterday.
? A physician in the local ER in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre showed the Senate what happens inside the body when a person is hit by an assault weapon bullet.
? A Republican who ran for mayor of Tucson and lost is now handing out free shotguns to local residents–this in the same town where former US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others were shot.
Health, Homelessness & Hunger
? Gov. Bill Haslam is not in favor of expanding TN's Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. TN's Chamber of Commerce & Industry supports the expansion.
? "[H]ealth advocates, doctors and others rallied" in Jackson, MS in support of expanded Medicaid.
? "Maine Hospital Association supports Medicaid expansion", joining ME's Medical Association and ME's Osteopathic Association.
? LA's Dept of Health & Hospitals released an analysis favorable to the state's participating in Medicaid expansion. Gov Bobby Jindal (R) is "staunchy opposed".
? MO Gov. Jay Nixon (D) is trying to rally support for his state's participation in the Medicaid expansion, but the MO House has voted "No".
? The trade-off for higher premiums under Obamacare is expected to be improved benefits. And, of course, there's the magic of the market place to even things out.
? Yet another from what used to be America's Heartland: "Kansas bill calls for HIV positive people to be quarantined". It's already passed the senate.
? MI's Attorney General wants that Massachusetts company linked to a meningitis outbreak, the New England Compounding Center, criminally investigated.
? Sacramento, CA must pay $800,000 to attorneys who represented the homeless "in a lawsuit charging police with violating [the homeless'] constitutional rights by failing to protect their belongings" following campsite raids. The city has already paid $796,050 to individuals whose belongings were seized and disappeared.
Education Directions
? "Michelle Rhee takes on teachers' unions". She's in Los Angeles on her crusade to defeat teachers, financed in part by Wal-Mart which shares her opposition to unions.
Planet Earth News
? So-called "missing heat", cited by global warming deniers, has been found–in the deep oceans. "30% of the ocean warming over the past decade has occurred in the deeper oceans below 700 meters . . . unprecedented over at least the past half century."
? That 5.7 earthquake in OK in 2011 has been linked to all the wastewater from the oil extraction process that was pumped underground.
Latin America
? "Ecuador plans to auction off more than three million hectares of pristine Amazonian rainforest to Chinese oil companies, angering indigenous groups . . .." Ecuador's politicians have run up a large debt with China which is another factor at play.

Looking for a cool way to capture guest photos at his wedding that wouldn't break the bank, John Wu spent three days using Flash Builder 4 developing a cross-platform, on-demand interactive photo application. The app captured candid moments that professional photographers might have missed. At the wedding reception John's guests simply posed in front of the webcam and hit the spacebar to capture a strip of four images that they either printed or posted to social networks. Feedback from his friends encouraged John to fully develop and market his now professional-level photo party utility and name it Party Booth. To help with the distribution John turned to Adobe Flash Platform Services for help.
Using our new Melrose service, John was able to go from a few family and friends purchasing Party Booth to as many as 12,000 downloads a day and boosted his revenue tenfold. For John this allowed him to do what does best, continue to evolve Party Booth.

I used to be (and still am to some extent) an expensive makeup kind of girl. But sometimes the cheap stuff is just as good, if not better. This mousse blush has been getting rave reviews for brightening skin and being overall awesome. I've like some of the other rimmel products I've used, so I think next time I'm at my local target I'll pick this up too.

The reorientation inversion of liquid crystal molecules in azo-dye-doped liquid crystal (ADDLC) films irradiated by biphotonic (green and red light) lasers is studied using the self-phase-modulation method. The results show that the induced change of refractive index (∆n) in an ADDLC cell illuminated with a fixed intensity of green light increases with the red-light intensity. Notably, the value of ∆n is initially negative, and becomes positive when the intensity of the red laser is increasing. It is due to the fact that an extra positive torque is exerted on the LCs, which is produced by cis-isomers upon absorbing red light to compensate the negative torque induced by the excitation of the green light.

|Playing games: Just like being there!
For those who can't be there in person, here are five comic book-inspired video games to help make the weekend cruise by a little bit faster.
Otherwise, you're just going to sit there thinking about all the cool stuff you're missing out on. All the super awesome, amazingly cool stuff you're missing out on.
Man, are you missing out.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Everyone knows Wolverine is the best there it as what he does, but nobody expected that statement to also apply to being a God of War clone. While the title for best game based on a comic book hero belongs to another entry on this list, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a surprisingly competent action snikt-a-thon that's actually better than the movie it was based on.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Remember what I was just saying about the best comic book game ever? Yeah, this is it. Take control of The Bat, utilize all the cool gadgets, use your powers of deduction to solve riddles and beat the crap out of a few hundred henchmen with a deep combat system that rewards careful timing and steady nerves.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3
We know there's an updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 coming out later this year but, until then, let me introduce you to the best title in the series. Even if you ignore all the DLC for the time being, MvC3 offers a large roster and quite possibly the most balanced combat on the market. The new comic book art style is gorgeous and the gameplay is arcade perfect.
X-Men: The Arcade Game
If you've got a few friends around and a couple bucks to blow on the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live Arcade, you could do a lot worse than to pick up X-Men: The Arcade Game. It may only take an hour to beat, but the real fun is reliving all those memories from the arcade when you and your chums would fight over who gets to be Colossus. There's also the added bonus of saving all those quarters and taking advantage of endless continues.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
This list may feel a little Marvel heavy, but that's because, more often than not, their titles are done the right way. There are few better examples of this than Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Take control of just about any Marvel character you can think of and team up with a few friends in one of the most solid dungeon crawlers to date.

About the Book
This book, "Badlands" by Tom Carroll, is a photographic tour through the Badlands National Park that is a land of sharp ridges, steep walled canyons, gullies, pyramids and knobs that has been so ruthlessly ravaged by wind and water that it is now hugely picturesque. The Badlands are a wonderland of bizarre, colorful spires and pinnacles, massive buttes and deep gorges. Erosion of the Badlands reveals sedimentary layers of different colors: purple and yellow (shale), tan and gray (sand and gravel), red and orange (iron oxides) and white (volcanic ash). 120 photographs.

For more than 30 years, Gundersen radiation oncologists have stopped or slowed cancer with high-energy x-rays generated by linear accelerators. Through ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care, Radiation Oncology offers the latest technology. These innovations offer our patients many advantages including:
Gundersen Radiation Oncology, a proven leader in this discipline, has been accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) since 2002. ACR accreditation assures quality of care for physicians and patients choosing the right place for radiation therapy.
Our team ranks among the best in the country for its approach to care, emphasizing great outcomes, patient satisfaction and continuous improvement. The goal: Quality care, close to home, with fewer treatments. Our team of experts offers the following technologies:
Our image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery system is capable of treating complex cancers in areas such as the head and neck, lung, breast, liver and abdomen. Gundersen employs the only image-guided radiation therapy system (TrueBeam™) with ExacTrac® image guidance (BrainLab) in La Crosse County. One of its unique features, and an advantage over other radiation treatment models, is the high-intensity delivery mode. Fast delivery allows for reduced chances of tumor motion during treatment, which helps protect surrounding healthy tissues.
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has shortened radiation treatments for some gynecologic cancers from days to hours. With HDR, we can give higher doses of radiation during a clinic visit to get rid of cancer and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Postoperative brachytherapy for endometrial cancer – Previously, patients were admitted to the hospital for complete bed rest because they had to hold relatively still for two or three days. They were also radioactive during this period. With HDR, treatments are completed in three outpatient sessions, each lasting one to two hours. Patients can go home without worrying about exposing family members to residual radioactivity.
Treating inoperable cervical cancer - The previous treatment required two hospitalizations. The much shorter HDR process includes applicator placement, followed by 10 minutes of radiation. The patient usually returns home the same day.
Treating tumors obstructing bronchial passages - During a pre-treatment bronchoscopy, a pulmonologist, places a thin catheter through the patient's nose into a cancerous tumor. Patients require three or four treatments to shrink tumors and open airways.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy shapes a treatment beam to fit the contours of its cancerous target. With computerized "sculpting," high radiation doses can be delivered to a tumor while sparing normal surrounding tissue and organs. This minimizes side effects and means healthy tissue is less likely to be scarred or injured.
Behind-the-scenes preparation for IMRT is labor intensive, but each patient's treatment time is still similar to standard radiation therapy. The reduced toxicity and improved cure rates are well worth the extra hours up front.
We use IMRT for prostate cancer and in other situations where it's critical to avoid nearby organs. Some cancers we couldn't have treated before are now eligible for radiation therapy, thanks to this method.
Positron Emission Tomography can detect cancer and other diseases earlier, more accurately and with less patient discomfort than other diagnostic procedures. Total-body PET imaging can uncover abnormalities other methods might not detect. With this information, they can intervene earlier, plan more specific treatment and monitor effectiveness. PET scans can replace biopsies for certain types of masses and avoid unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic surgeries.
PET images help the physician distinguish between malignant and benign (non-cancerous) tumors, locate cancer "hot spots," determine the extent and stage of the disease, and track how rapidly tumors are growing. These images also are valuable in monitoring the progress of cancer treatment and the recurrence of cancer.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is an outpatient procedure that requires no incision. It eliminates complications and substantial recovery time associated with open brain surgery. When traditional cancer surgery is not an option due to other illnesses, tumor location or unacceptable risk to nearby organs, radiosurgery can give new hope for recovery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) delivers highly focused doses of radiation to a target from one or more angles. It has minimal effects on surrounding tissue and organs. This single-session treatment has such a dramatic effect on the targeted tissue that changes are considered "surgical."
Ultrasound-guided radioactive seed implantation in cancerous prostate glands is an effective method of treatment when early stage cancer is confined to the prostate. The procedure does not require surgical incision.
Low rates of complications such as incontinence and impotence make this method appealing for those it is an option for. An eight-year Gundersen Health System study shows this outpatient procedure allows more rapid return to normal activities with fewer lasting side effects and no significant reduction of projected cure rates.
Radioactive seed implant therapy continues to show promise. Five years post-implant, more than 85 percent of survivors treated with this method at Gundersen are cancer-free.

Most of us know the importance of healthy lifestyle habits, but sometimes we need a nudge to get us off the couch. If your employees take frequent smoke breaks, struggle to make fitness a priority, or use a lot of sick days, it might be time to provide them with a few wellness incentives.
According to a 2011 study by Incentive Research Foundation, only one in five employees will participate in a wellness program without rewards; however, four out of five people will join when incentives are offered.
Here are five steps to creating an effective wellness incentive program for your employees:
1. Determine the wellness needs of your staff. Think about your staff members and the specific health issues they struggle with. Do they complain about not finding time to work out? Do they have access to a workout facility at the office? Do you see them eating fast food at their desk to meet deadlines? If you are unsure what their priorities are, ask them for feedback or send out a survey.
2. Provide tools that enable success. No matter how many gift cards or free lunches you provide, your employees will achieve the most success if you first help solve the obstacles in their way. Businesses without a workout facility on-site can offer a gym membership as a benefit. If your staff works long hours or juggles family obligations, offer to give each employee two to three hours a week to exercise during the workday. Consider paying for a portion of weight-loss programs, such as Weight Watchers, or sponsoring employees who want to enroll in a smoking cessation program.
3. Choose valued incentives. If you offer rewards that no one is interested in, then your wellness incentive program will not have the desired results. In her recent Benefits Magazine article "Wellness Incentive Strategies That Work," Kristie Zoeller Howard writes: "To get employees to take action, employers need to offer rewards that are valued by most, if not all, participants." She adds that the most valued incentives are cash, merchandise gift cards, and benefit-integrated incentives, such as additional paid time off or decreased health insurance contributions.
4. Set attainable goals for receiving the incentive. Let's say the majority of your staff does not exercise regularly, but your program is set up to reward people who exercise five times a week for three months. Your incentives program is likely to fail. Consider your staff's current status and structure goals that will push them to change their behaviors in a realistic way. Some companies find that offering a points-based incentive program, in which employees earn points for different activities (such as working out, attending a seminar, or taking a smoking cessation class), offers the most flexibility for staff at different wellness levels.
5. Evaluate the program. Before rolling out any program, ask for feedback from your employees. Based on their input, make any changes that will help increase participation. Once the incentive plan is in place, monitor participation on an ongoing basis and make adjustments as needed to encourage your employees to adopt healthier lifestyles.

I would be considered to be apart of this "New Calvinism"(The Gospel Coalition, Desiring God, etc.). I wasn't raised in a Reformed church, in fact the church is probably the furthest (well not quite) away from the Reformers. The Reformers put to death the type of people (Anabaptists) that formed the kind of church that I attended. Anyways, I first came in contact with the theological framework called Calvinism from a YouTube video that I watched over 3 years ago. I'm clearly not a veteran in the … [Read more...]

Deed Of Settlement Signed With Ngāti Pukenga
Hon Christopher Finlayson
Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations
7 April
2013 Media Statement
Deed Of Settlement Signed With Ngāti Pukenga
The Crown has signed a deed of settlement for historical Treaty claims with Ngāti Pukenga at Te Whetū o Te Rangi Marae near Tauranga, Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Christopher Finlayson announced today.
The deed settles the comprehensive claims specific to Ngāti Pukenga in the region. Ngāti Pūkenga is also negotiating redress relating to its shared and overlapping interests in the region as part of the Tauranga Moana Collective, along with Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāi Te Rangi.
"Crown initiated military conflict in 1864 and subsequent actions including confiscation left Ngāti Pukenga without sufficient land in Tauranga to meet their economic and cultural needs," Mr Finlayson said. "We can never fully compensate for these wrongs. However this settlement will enable the people of Ngati Pukenga to look forward to a stronger future."
The settlement includes includes financial and commercial redress of $5 million; the return of culturally significant properties including Liens block, Pae ki Hauraki, Te Tihi o Hauturu and Otukopiri; $500,000 for cultural revitalisation, and $180,000 for marae revitalisation in Manaia.
"Signing this deed of settlement with Ngāti Pukenga is an important step towards settling all historical grievances in the Bay of Plenty and New Zealand as a whole," Mr Finlayson said.
The settlement will be given effect through legislation.
A copy of the deed of settlement is available on the OTS website here

Micron filter bag prefilters your sump
Specifically designed for reef and saltwater systems. Professionally hand-crafted for precise fit and operation.
A reef sump has important benefits to any aquarium.By using the sump to hold extra water, the volume of water in the system is increased. Evaporation from the tank itself is mitigated by the reserve in the sump, preventing the annoying need to constantly add water to the tank.
Additionally, larger water volume in saltwater systems makes the system more stable. The chemistry and temperature change on a day to day basis in a large volume of water is less by percentage than the same change to a smaller volume of water.
The sump is the ideal place to house equipment such as heaters, filters, skimmers, thermometers or any other equipment that detracts from the aesthetics of the tank.
The sump is an excellent place to add new water, medicate, adjust chemical balances etc. By using the water in the sump, the effect of changes to the chemistry is less dramatic on the delicate inhabitants of the tank (having been diluted by the sump water before it is introduced into the main tank)
Sizing: The size of your sump is generally dictated by the space into which you will fit it. If you are going to invest in a sump, make is as big as your can area can handle without inhibiting our ability to get equipment in and out of it without dismantling it - the bigger the better.What is the difference between a sump and a wet/dry filter? A wet/dry filter is actually just a sump with a chamber for bio-media (often bio balls) built into it.

Designed to fit between your tank and the wall. Need only 3" clearance.
Professionally hand-crafted for precise fit and operation.
Overflow boxes are typically used to bring water from the main aquarium to the wet-dry filter or the sump. They consist of a "skimmer" box inside the tank (that has small slits to help prevent smaller fish from "overflowing" out of the tank and into the sump) and a larger box with hose attachments outside the tank. Water that rises above the level of the "skimmer" will "overflow" into the sump below, thus keeping the water level in the tank constant.
The surface of the water is constantly skimmed, removing undesirable film and enhancing gas exchange. Additionally, the water is aerated as the water falls over the overflow, down the drain and splashes into the sump.

Transform the ProFlex into three completely different setups to suit your needs: a traditional wet/dry trickle filter, as a Berlin style, or a Refugium sump filtration system.
It's as easy as sliding the adjustable water height wall up or down, removing the thumb screws on a removable baffle wall, sliding in the filter pad and trickle do
Unlike competitors' sumps, ProFlex offers very Quiet Filtration As water enters the ProFlex, it flows through a revolutionary bubble diffuser chamber where bubbles are expelled, significantly reducing noise.
Effective particulate filtration. After water flows through the bubble chamber, it flows through two 200 micron filter socks to remove large particulates.
All ProFlex models are manufactured using extremely durable materials, and include a lifetime warranty against leaks.
Featured Aquarium Article - Wet Dry Filters
Wet/dry filters are the highest quality aquarium filters. They are most often used by the advanced hobbyist who wants to keep the most sensitive species. Saltwater fish and reef inhabitants must have the most stable water conditions possible to survive and thrive.
However, if more hobbyists understood how aquarium wet dry filters work, they would become a standard for all aquarists who want to keep more fish and more sensitive fish, and who want to reduce their maintenance to a minimum.
The ocean is a very stable water environment by virtue of the fact that it has such a vast amount of water. The temperature changes are very gradual. The quality of the water changes imperceptibly over time.
One of the keys to simulating that stable environment in your aquarium is an increase in the quantity of water. Certainly, you can purchase a larger aquarium. However, it is less expensive, and takes up less room to install a water expansion chamber UNDER the aquarium, hidden in the stand. (see refugiums also)
Essentially that is what a wet dry filter is: A clear acrylic chamber (a sump) that holds water and all of the elements to clean the water in your aquaruim - all housed out of sight.
All wet dry filters accept water from your aquarium via a trickle-down device. When the water enters the filter, it passes through media chambers that hold the elements necessary for cleansing the water of its pollutants.
The water is passed over the media by means of a directed trickle or a rotating spray bar that disperses it to drip through the first mechanical filter: a filter pad that traps large particulates and debris.
From there it goes through a media that pulls out colors, odors, medication, and other organic compounds: usually a carbon chamber or pad.
The HUGE advantage of wet dry filters is their biological chambers. Most contain a filter compartment that houses media supporting aerobic bacteria: The type of oxygen-loving bacteria that lilterally digest the ammonia and nitrites in your tank that kill the inhabitants.
As the water passes through the chemical filtration media it continues to drip down (collecting oxygen as it goes). By the time it reaches the biological chamber or wheel, it is oxygen-rich and organic-compound-and-particulate-free. The oxygen feeds the bacteria, keeping it healthy and reproducing. The ammonia and nitrite are turned to nitrate.
The perfect balance is maintained between the amount of pollutants the tank produces and the amount of bacteria the filter produces to process the pollutants.
Clean water is returned to the tank by means of a submersible pump that pumps it back up to the tank.
Maintenance is reduced because the volume of water has been enlarged, thus reducing the percentage nitrate content. Fewer water changes and less "fiddling" with the media.
The filter is hidden from view and generally contains enough sump space to house your heater right in the filter sump and out of the aquarium's panoramic view. Many wet dry filters also contain protein skimmers or you can add one. You can plumb a UV sterilizer right into the pump-return. All of this additional equipment (while not critical) will greatly enhance your aquarium's stability, save your fish, and reduce your maintenance time and workload. And none of it will be cluttering your relaxing view.

hiway 360

Kings District RMCP Const. Blair MacMurtery shakes his head when he thinks about the potential for harm to those taking part in longboarding on local roads, especially on highways leading up the Valley's north and south mountains.
"There is no possible way you can be safe on a wheeled device like a skateboard going up to speeds of 50-70 km/hour," explained MacMurtery.
The latest trend in mountain longboarding came to light in a video posted recently on social media showing longboarders racing down mountain roads in Kings County.
A longboard is greater in size in both length and width than its smaller counterpart, the skateboard. It reportedly offers more stability, traction and durability. The angles at which some longboards can turn, as well as their ability to coast long distances make them more suitable for cruising on streets than regular skateboards.
"A skateboard is a skateboard," scoffed MacMurtery "and equipment and expertise won't matter one bit given an unpredictable set of variables."
These variables can include potholes or objects on the road, animals or vehicles.
"If you encounter one of these, things are going to go badly," stated MacMurtery.
He confirmed RCMP have had two official complaints about longboarders on Highway 358 to Scots Bay and Black Rock Road and they have heard it is going on in other Valley communities and on roads including highway 360 north of Berwick and Rocknotch Road south of Greenwood.
It is illegal to skateboard on roadways and the penalty for a first time offence is a fine of $147.
In his role as community policing officer for Kings District RCMP, MacMurtery says he wants to be "pro-active" in dealing with this thrill-seeking trend in order to avert any potential injury to boarders and motorists.
"The safety of boarders, bystanders and motorists is paramount," said MacMurtery, adding there is potential for severe life-changing injuries if "this dangerous activity" goes wrong.
RCMP are asking people to call in if they witness the activity.
"If we hear about it we can get a patrol out," said MacMurtery.

Whatever pop song was No. 1 the day you were born influences your life.
There are people who believe that, Bill Radke tells you through your car radio.
How ridiculous, you mumble.
But at the next traffic light, you jot down the Web site to find your song, www.thisdayinmusic.com.
Radke's about to name his song, but suddenly South Carolina ETV radio dissolves into static. The public radio program "Weekend America'' vanishes with it.
Days later, you try WJWJ-FM 89.9 again, this time to catch Terry Gross interview director John Madden about his new film "Proof.'' But all you can hear through the fuzzy, white noise is how he is sometimes confused with the John Madden of football.
Then "Fresh Air'' fades into dead air.
Which frustrates you at first, before it makes you feel guilty. The type of guilt public radio listeners know as well as Scott Simon's laugh, the "Car Talk'' guys' accents, Sylvia Poggioli's hard-to-pronounce last name.
It whispers to you in the new silence. "You should have donated during the last fund-raiser. This is what you get for saying those bad things about Garrison Keillor.''
Calm down. Cancel the therapy session.
The weak radio signal that's plagued us for roughly six weeks is not related to your failure to open your purse wide enough to get an I-support-NPR tote bag in return.
Nor is it punishment for making catty asides during "Prairie Home Companion.''
Your inability to hear the Beaufort station in the Savannah area is due to technological upgrades.
"We're installing digital equipment to the tower and transmitter,'' explained the WJWJ-FM people in the same patient, soft-spoken, public-broadcasting tones that coo at us through all their pledge drives and our drives home.
The signal power was significantly lowered to allow six specialized engineers to scale the 1,200-foot tower in Green Pond, S.C. between Beaufort and Charleston. The tower has both TV and radio equipment.
The ETV folks have known the conversion was coming. It's part of a national mandate to replace analog TV stations.
What they didn't expect was to hear from so many of us: Savannah listeners who wondered, among other things, why a Jacksonville NPR station is fading in and out instead.
The station aired announcements about the temporary low power, but, of course, since the power was low, many of us didn't hear them.
"Listeners want to know what's going on,'' said Tom Fowler, senior vice president of broadcasting for ETV in Columbia. "When they turn on the radio and there's nothing there, they're just disappointed.''
Georgia Public Broadcasting's station at WSVH 91.1 FM plays classical music and opera at times when the Beaufort station has news programming or airs "This American Life'' stories.
"A lot of people have grumbled, 'I don't want to listen to classical. I'll be happy when you're back,'' said John Brunelli, station manager at WJWJ ETV .
NPR addicts appreciate having a choice between Georgia and South Carolina public radio. It's one more reason not switch to AM shock jocks and the accompanying pack of ''first-time callers, long-time listeners.''
Sometimes you just want Ira Glass, not Igor Stravinsky.
Sometimes you want to hear David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell and Anne Lamott read about music lessons, rather than hear the music.
WJWJ-FM is expected to return at the end of October with a stronger, clearer signal.
But don't expect tote-bags this year.
The station won't be back in time for the fall fund-raiser.
Which may be the best reason of all to finally donate.

Customers continually are shocked at the cost of relining a chimney. Chimney liner cost can be surprising. There are a variety of factors that play into how much a chimney reline with installation costs, including your area of the country, but on average the cost to have your chimney professionally relined runs anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000. Lets explore the option of purchasing a chimney liner kit and installing it yourself.
The hardest part about relining your chimney is fitting the chimney liner. You need to properly size the liner in order for the chimney to draft properly. Remember that there will be an extra inch or so around the liner due to the insulation. Chimney liner insulation is extremely important and actually helps to reduce creosote build up by keeping the chimney liner warmer. Chimney liner kits vary in price based on the diameter and length of the liner, but a basic, UL listed 6″ diameter 20′ long chimney liner kit, complete with connector pipe, tee end cap, and top kit can be anywhere from $400 – $600. Chimney liner insulation kits, complete with all of the supplies needed to properly wrap your chimney liner pipe in insulation, can run between $200-300.
As you can see you are saving yourself major expenses incurred from installation fees, but with that you are taking in some risk as well. Lining your own chimney can be very dangerous. You need to be absolutely sure you have enough manpower to handle this large, sometimes heavy liner or else accidents can happen

MU NOTES: Illness tames Tigers
Health woes weaken MUs performance.
|Missouri's Albert White scored a game-high 25 points
in a courageous effort during yesterday's 84-68 loss at
Oklahoma State. The junior suffered from flu-like
symptoms much of the game and vomited on the floor twice.
Sean Meyers photo
By JAMES D. HORNE
of the Tribunes Staff
STILLWATER, Okla. Albert White wasnt trying to duplicate the feat accomplished by Willis Reed in the 1971 NBA Finals, when Reed wobbled off his sick bed to lead the New York Knicks to the championship.
White was just making sure he gave Missouri 100 percent in its 84-68 loss to Oklahoma State yesterday.
White is just one of the Tigers who was afflicted by flu-like symptoms during the last few days. Twice White showed how sick he was to the 6,103 in attendance by vomiting on the floor.
But even a sick White was the most effective player on the floor scoring a game-high 25 points.
"I had been feeling a little bad, flu symptoms are going around," White said. "Other than that Ive been feeling fine, except for that one point in the game.
"I just tried to suck it up and give my team all I could."
White left the game twice because of vomiting, but he didnt let his sickness affect his first-half play.
Before his first bout with queasiness with 10:23 to play in the first half, White had strung together six consecutive points to get MU within seven, 18-11.
When he came back to the floor at the 7:42 mark, White ripped off seven straight points to close OSUs lead. White finished the first half with 15 points in 15 minutes of play as MU led 34-32.
"I think what Albert did, shows the heart of a ballplayer, of a person," Missouri coach Norm Stewart said. "I think the ballclub has some good heart."
PROBLEMS WITH REBOUNDING: For the second game in a row, Missouri was dominated in rebounding. Oklahoma State outrebounded MU 43-27, including 19-9 on the offensive boards.
"They crashed the boards," White said. "In the first half they had 13 offensive rebounds. We cant have that. I think we did a better job in the second half. Weve got a lot to work on."
Added OSU coach Eddie Sutton: "When you beat someone 43-27 on the boards you are playing well. That was one of the key factors in the ballgame. When you have that big of a margin on the boards you have to be getting after it."
Missouri really didnt get many chances at rebounds in the second half, as OSU made 15 of 26 shots, including 7 of 11 from 3-point range.
KEYON FACTOR: Keyon Dooling tried to make a go of it yesterday, but his sprained ankle wouldnt let him.
"Hes such a threat defensively and offensively," MUguard Brian Grawer said. "When he has the ball in his hands, not only does his man have to be ready, but everybody else has to come over and help on him. That just opens up shots for everybody else."
Dooling is also recovering from the effects of a concussion he suffered at the hands of Eduardo Najera in Monday nights loss to Oklahoma. Missouri clearly missed the freshman yesterday.
Because of Whites sickness and Doolings injury, the Tigers dont feel the score represented how well they played yesterday.
"It was a lot closer than what the score determined," Grawer said. "Plus, Al is ill. Keyon is hurt, and other people on the team are feeling a little sick too. When you put all of that into consideration, I feel like were still playing well. We just have to wait and let everyone get healthy."
M*A*S*H LIST: White isnt the only Tiger under the weather. The whole team seemingly had to battle stomach distress before taking the floor.
"Weve had two guys with vomiting, Albert White and Pat Schumacher, and five guys with diarrhea. But hey, come out and play. You can always go to the bathroom during the ballgame," Stewart said.

In Need of Asphalt Paving Austin Tx?
Asphalt paving is an intense mixture of stone, sand and gravel that is bounded together by asphalt cement. This mixture is a very hot substance that is used on driveways, pavements, roads and parking lots. Asphalt paving Austin can be low in cost but the durability of the product is why it is most commonly used. Keeping up on asphalt paving will save more money in the long run. Weather plays a huge factor in the wear and tear of asphalt. Other factors such as dirt, oil and grease also plays a role. By using high quality products and keeping the pavement clean as much as possible, you will help with the life span of the asphalt. By not removing buildup such as water, snow or even weeds will cause the asphalt to crack and damage the surface, which in turn will lead to more problems on the asphalt. Asphalt paving Austin is a great way to keep pavements looking fresh and clean and is durable enough to withstand weather deterioration.

If I ever go to Vegas I need this shirt because I will for sure wake up lost.
NYCTrendSpotter's recommendation
As if the state of the shirt doesn't already say it all.... Washed-soft and faded t-shirt with allover unique distressing and holes. Printed with "Lost Vegas" at the front. While the silhouette will stay the same as what you see here, each t-shirt will have unique holes and tears.

All too appropriate for a road trip, especially if that road trip includes a stop in Vegas.

The Inherent Right of ALL People to Alter or Reform Government.
The Right Upon Which
All Other Rights Depend
in South Dakota 2006
ARTICLE VI Ï26 - Right to Alter or Reform Government
ARTICLE VII Ï1 - Right to Vote
By Barbie, National J.A.I.L.
Edited and approved by Ron Branson
Taken from: "Of the Dissolution of Government" Chapter XIX, Ñ220
But the state of mankind is not so miserable that
they are not capable
of using this remedy
till it be too late to look for any.
To tell people
they may provide for themselves,
by erecting a new legislative,
when by oppression,
artifice, or being delivered over to a foreign power,
their old one is gone, is only to tell them,
they may expect relief
when it is too late,
and the evil is past cure. This is in effect
no more than to bid them first be slaves, and then to take care
of their liberty; and when their chains are on, tell them,
they may act like freemen. This, if barely so, is rather mockery
than relief; and men can never be secure from tyranny,
if there be no means to escape it till they are perfectly under it:
and therefore it is, that they have not only a right to get out of it,
but to prevent it.
--John Locke
For the State of South Dakota, through its Constitution, to (1) acknowledge that the People have the right to alter or reform their government (Art. VI Ï26), and further, (2) officially recognize their right to vote in order to carry out the former right, stating that government shall not interfere "to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage" (Art. VII Ï1), AND THEN INDEED INTERFERE is rather a mockery than a constitutional provision.
Even more basic election fraud than rigging the vote count is concealing vital information from the electorate on an important issue facing the South Dakota voters in 2006. We, of course, are referring to Amendment E, the South Dakota J.A.I.L. Amendment. J.A.I.L. cannot begin to compare with the large corporations, the entire South Dakota government, and the media regarding financial and advertising resources for this campaign. Nevertheless, we were confident that this lop-sided advantage would not deter the voters from seeing through the propaganda, character assassination, voter intimidation, and various other nefarious activities including CRIME to defeat Amendment E.
Although confident that Amendment E would not only pass, but would pass handsomely because of its 3-to-1 favorable rating throughout the year-and-a-half campaign, we nevertheless sent out warning signals with ample documentation to everyone on our mailing lists, with dozens of J.A.I.L. News Journals. Mr. Branson also set up a special South Dakota website, shown in the heading
, containing intense reporting on the election fraud occurring in South Dakota. The pre-election reporting on that site is still there, undisturbed, for anyone to read.
Following is an excerpt from
Will The People of South Dakota Withstand the Election Fraud?
dated 11/5/06:
All eyes across the nation are now poised on the South Dakota 2006 election, just two days away, and particularly the J.A.I.L. Amendment (Amendment E). The American People are relying on The People of South Dakota to carry out their responsibility to amend their government pursuant to Ï26 of the South Dakota Constitution in order "to provide new guards for their future security" as instructed in the Declaration of Independence.
South Dakota was the first state to have the initiative process; and now it is the first state, through this process, for The People to be able to do something about out-of-control government that they have been complaining about for decades all over the country. We now see that, even with the initiative process, the entire South Dakota government has managed to interfere with that process through fraud and deceit on its People. The question is,
will The People of South Dakota withstand this election fraud by their State government?
These events will shine the light for other states to be prepared to deal with this problem of voter intimidation through government fraud and deceit. No matter what, J.A.I.L. is still the "Achilles' heel" to curbing a tyrannical government. The message of J.A.I.L. has gotten out and it will not go away!
Besides the entire South Dakota State Legislature criminally committing election fraud on the People of South Dakota, as we have exposed on February 21st in a J.A.I.L. News Journal
South Dakota Legislature
Forfeits Their Public Trust
," as well as March 5th, "
Rogue Miscreant Legislators
below is part of an expose` of South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long taken from the Home Page of the
South Dakota website
giving details about the fraudulent misrepresentations regarding Amendment E appearing in the "Attorney General Explanation" on the South Dakota 2006 ballot.
* * * *
While the State of South Dakota allowed the voters to read the "
Attorney General Explanation
," which was a fraudulent misrepresentation of Amendment E on the ballot written as an editorial
the Amendment,
the State did not provide an equal opportunity for the voters to also read for themselves the official
text of Amendment E
so that they would be properly informed of what the Amendment actually did provide in order to make an intelligent choice when casting their vote.
It was incredible to me that this unfairness by the State would actually occur, especially in light of its Constitution that states under Article VII Ï1, "Elections shall be free and equal" and "no power... shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage,"
so I wrote in
South Dakota 2006 Ballot Contaminated
We are receiving reports about the misrepresentations made by South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long; and that subject is covered at length on the Home Page of our South Dakota website,
. However, I wasn't sure if that misrepresentation actually appeared on the South Dakota ballot itself, under an explanation of Amendment E, to "aid" the South Dakota voters in understanding what they were voting for. And so I decided to check it out on a Google search, and found the following:
Taken from a sample 2006 ballot for South Dakota
I was shocked to find out that only Long's negative write-up about Amendment E appeared on the ballot. The matter was taken to court in an attempt to clear up that fraud, which is reported in JNJ 12/29/06
The South Dakota Election Re J.A.I.L. Was Fraudulent and
Should Be Declared
Null & Void
. You can read the snide remarks made by Circuit Judge Gors right on the
itself, particularly Ñ53:
The attorney general could have said with a straight face that the real purpose and effect of the proposed JAIL amendment is to destroy justice in
South Dakota
The above is all said and done officially on behalf of the State of South Dakota.
Where Are We Now??
I'm wondering what John Locke means when he says (quoted in the above introduction)
But the state of mankind is not so miserable that
they are not capable
of using this remedy
till it be too late to look for any.
I believe he's referring to the right of mankind to reform their government when they deem it necessary, but some of "mankind" is also "government." As we can see from the South Dakota fiasco, there is certainly a difference between "mankind" within government (the government), and "mankind" outside of government (the People). As can be seen, government --at least in South Dakota-- has usurped its power and is not serving the People, but is operating
the People. Locke certainly recognized this difference. In fact he says that when government has usurped its power, it's no longer "government" but a "foreign power" -
their old one is gone.
Referring to "this remedy" Locke described it in the preceding portion as
the people are at liberty to provide for themselves by erecting a new legislative differing from the other by the change of persons, or form, or both, as they shall find it most for their safety and good.
The South Dakota Constitution (Art. VI Ï26) describes it as "they have the right in lawful and constituted methods to alter or reform their forms of government in such manner as they may think proper." The sentence
But the state of mankind is not so miserable
that they are not capable
of using this remedy
till it be too late to look for any
apparently indicates that the political state of the People is not so bad that they won't be able to reform their government according to law before it's too late to find a remedy. I know there's a "maxim of law" that says "For every wrong, there's a remedy." It all turns on that word "remedy."
We are still convinced that SDC Art.VI Ï26, and similar provisions in other initiative states, IS
. The "event" in South Dakota called an "election" in November 2006 hasn't changed that fact; rather, it has strengthened it!
What was really conducted by the State of South Dakota last November was a "Show-Election," described as an extreme example of
electoral fraud
where an election is held purely for show.
. The only purpose of the show-election was to defeat J.A.I.L. (Amendment E); and it was carried out by nefarious means in violation of state law. "
The 'results' of a show-election are frequently one-sided to the point of absurdity, with leaders claiming mandates of 90 percent or higher; this rarely occurs in a free democratic election.
There is not an ounce of credibility in the reported outcome of
89% against the Amendment, and 11% in favor of it.
South Dakotans we have communicated with told us that the voters weren't even provided
the wording of Amendment E
so they could read it before voting on it, although an official opinion
against the Amendment appeared right on the ballot itself
which was backed up by South Dakota courts. The Amendment carried a 3-to-1 favorable polling for a year-and-a-half before allegedly "plummeting" on the day of election. The show-election "showed" what the State of South Dakota wanted, but we know that TRUTH was
in the picture being shown.
The question that must be contemplated now is,
What happens when the constitutional remedy to reform government by the People is blocked by the very government sought to be reformed?
That's the crossroad at which the People have now arrived, and it's up to the People to decide how to get through it. The State Constitution authorized the remedy for the People, and yet the State was able to make a mockery of that Constitution.
Will it be with impunity?
That will determine the future of this country. Will other states be able to overcome this dilemma?
We will continue to pray about this serious crossroads in the life of America.

American Express Serve, Isis Announce Plan to Link Mobile Wallet Platforms
American Express and Isis have announced that they will introduce American Express Serve to the Isis Mobile Wallet in a new co-branded account that will be offered in every Isis Mobile Wallet as a part of a nationwide launch later this year. By adding American Express Serve to the Wallet, customers will be able to pay bills online and send money to friends and family. They will also be able to add cash to their American Express Serve account or fund it using an existing bank account, any credit or debit card or through direct deposit.
"Linking the platforms will allow millions of people to conveniently and inexpensively manage and move their money," said Dan Schulman, group president, Enterprise Growth, American Express. "From the palm of your hand, consumers including those without access to traditional bank accounts or credit can have access to everyday financial services. And our combined solution works in today's retail environment, and in the emerging 'tap to pay' point of sale ecosystem."Customers will be able to use eligible American Express Serve accounts within the Isis Mobile Wallet to:
"Our relationship with American Express Serve underscores our mutual commitment to providing consumers with choice and value in mobile payments," said Michael Abbott, chief executive officer, Isis. "We learned through our pilot that customers love the convenience of tap and pay with the ability to manage their payments and loyalty programs from one app. By adding American Express Serve to the Isis Wallet, we can immediately provide millions of consumers the opportunity to participate in mobile commerce as we continue to enrich the consumer experience."
- Load funds to their American Express Serve account from a variety of sources, including a bank account, debit, credit or charge card, or by receiving money from another American Express Serve account
- Load cash to their American Express Serve account
- Tap and pay with their phone at any NFC enabled retail location that accepts American Express
- Use their American Express Serve Card at any merchant that accepts American Express Cards, both online and offline
- Pay bills electronically
- Make person to person (P2P) payments to other American Express Serve accountholders
- Add funds using direct deposit
According to the FDIC, nearly 70 million Americans do not have bank accounts or access to credit. Many of these Americans are paid in cash and must rely on expensive services to pay their bills or send money to friends or family. By adding alternatives to traditional banking services at a low cost to the Isis and American Express Serve experience, American Express Serve is now able to provide a unique service proposition to millions of Americans.
