The National Association of Evangelicals is making an anti-abortion move that some evangelicals may not welcome: They've announced a willingness to partner with groups that offer contraceptive services and other programs aimed at reducing the number of abortions.
That was a small but noteworthy point in their press release today after a kick-off at Wheaton College, in Ill. No surprise: Their research found 9 in 10 evangelicals see abortion as a serious problem. But what's new is a pragmatic focus on "reducing the number of abortions" by supporting..."
a wide range of possible methods for decreasing the abortion rate -- from parental consent and waiting periods before abortions to efforts at making adoption, pre- and post-natal care, and contraceptive services more accessible.
More conservative evangelicals want a ban on legalized abortion and see talk about reducing demand as a dodge.
But when NAE president Leith Anderson presented the resolution, he said they will continue to "actively, ardently and unwaveringly opposes abortion on demand" but will now work with opponents on the legality debate,
...to dramatically reduce the incidence of abortion in the United States. Without compromising our core convictions, we seek honest conversation about ways to achieve this goal. These conversations should build on our shared concerns for human dignity, protecting children and promoting healthy families and communities.
They are distributing a new booklet on The Theology of Sex to ground their approach in Biblical teachings. And at the web site for the new project, it says,
We can converse and cooperate without compromising our bedrock principles..."
But will this work any better for the NAE than the environmental activism Creation Care campaign by a Richard Cizik when he headed governmental affairs for the NAE?
When Cizik pushed for the program, the founder and then head of Focus on the Family James Dobson came after his head. I covered Dobson campaign to oust Cizik's in a 2007 story about the struggle among evangelicals to define the word and establish it as distinct from "fundamentalist," which carries heavy disapproval baggage. I wrote then that "evangelical" appeared to be "losing its moorings, sliding toward the same linguistic demise that "fundamentalist" met decades ago because it has been misunderstood, misappropriated and maligned."
Cizik wound up resigning in 2008 after he made comments in a radio interview that sounded open to gay marriage.
So, can people with strong disagreements on abortion and contraception collaborate, no matter what religious label they line up under? Or is it dangerous to partner with people who disagree on principles?

Michelle Obama is stepping into reality television this fall with a guest star appearance on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." In the episode, the First Lady will help build a new boarding house for homeless female veterans, which will include an expansion to the Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House, a new greenhouse and a children's playhouse. This will be tied into the Joining Forces initiative she started with Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, to support military vets and their families.
The house will be built outside Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina and the episode is set to start filming on Thursday.

| I am writing to register my concern over the cloned food issue. I understand that your organization claims that the food is not dangerous to humans, but there are other concerns to consider as well. Introducing genetic varations into a population can never be reversed, and the effect of such action cannot possibly be understood at this time. I feel very strongly that this is an unwise move, and I can not help but think that the FDA's refusal to label the products is proof that the public is not behind such a move. Clearly, as public organization, you have the responsibility to serve the general population, and not the only the argricultural industry. I understand that a cloned animal may be a finicial convience for farmers, but some trade offs are not worth it. As a consumer, I am extremely concerned about this action, and will be very dissapointed in the FDA if they ignore overwhelming public opinion in favor of an easy out. Unfortunately, it may just be enough to make me become a vegetarian. Thank you for your time.

Gov. Perry Issues Request to Get Service Stations Refueled
Gov. Rick Perry today called on fuel terminal owners and operators to begin refueling service stations as quickly as possible so Hurricane Rita evacuees can return home as soon as state and local emergency officials determine the affected areas are safe.
"As more than 2.5 million evacuees from Hurricane Rita prepare to head back home, we need to ensure there are adequate fuel supplies along the routes," Perry said in a special announcement to fuel terminal operators. "If you will open your terminal throughout this weekend, we can begin refueling service stations along the major roadways."
Perry asked fuel terminal owners to fill any request, even those outside their normal contractual arrangements.
"We are in extraordinary circumstances," Perry said, adding that fuel terminal operators would be reimbursed for all shipments.
The Governor cautioned that evacuees should not yet begin returning to the affected areas.
"I can't say in strong enough terms to those who evacuated the coastal region that they should not begin their return for the time being," Perry said. "We are not through assessing the damage and cannot assure you at this time that your community is safe to return to."
Perry said state and local emergency leaders are developing a plan to stagger the return of evacuees.
"The bottom line is if you have a safe place to stay, you are better remaining there for the time being," Perry said.
An audio file with the Governor's message to fuel terminal operators is available online at www.governor.state.tx.us.

This was the first dry day at Lipscomb University in a while. It has been very cold for the southerners in Tennessee. Everyone is walking around in their sweatpants and fuzzy scarves, but this Fashionista is warm and fashionable! Her boots and edgy leather jacket provide warmth while her feminine necklaces and sheer top add softness. The best part about this outfit as a whole is that is transitions perfectly from day to night. As busy college students, we all know that it is sometimes difficult to find the time to change clothes for every event. Luckily, an outfit like this can work well for class and dinner out with friends.
Her outfit is pretty simple overall. She has on jeans, knee-high boots and a few layers on top. The top part of her outfit is what makes it cute and gives it interest. She starts with simple black tank top. Next she adds a cobalt blue, sheer button-up that adds the perfect pop of color. Sheer has been a huge trend over the past year. It has shown up in the lines of Michael Kors and Valentino among many other high-fashion designers and is even sold in many department stores and discounters. Stores like Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe have a variety of options for just a little over $20. To complete her outfit, this Fashionista throws on a stylish leather jacket. Not only is it warm, but it's also cute, diverse and the reason why this outfit transitions well from day to night.
One Simple Change: Having a great transition piece, like a leather jacket, is an awesome way to go from day to night with just one simple change. Her jacket adds a punch of uniqueness for day and confidence and style to her ensemble at night. In this Fashionista's case, she could just exchange her jeans for tights and a super cute bodycon skirt like this matching one from Dillard's. Then, she could just grab her red lipstick and head out to dinner with her friends!

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Refaeli is pregnant and they are planning to wed this summer.
On the heels of previous report stating Leonardo DiCaprio already popped the question to girlfriend Bar Refaeli during their visit to her hometown, comes a new report suggests the supermodel is pregnant with the actor's child and they are planning to wed this summer.
The 32-year-old actor and the Israeli model are reportedly expecting their first child together which is said to be due in late autumn. Friends of the couple claim they are "delighted" with the news.
According to Britain's The Mirror, DiCaprio is already getting in practice for being a father after doting on his best friend Tobey Maguire's baby. "He dotes on Tobey's little girl Ruby and has been asking him all about what it's like being a dad," the publication quoted a source as saying.
The Mirror, moreover, reporting that Leo's people have already contacted a number of exclusive venues in Israel, including the five-star Dan Accadia Herzliya Hotel and the plush King David Hotel for the preparation of the wedding.

Two academics at the London School of Economics have published a notable work "Creative Destruction and Copyright Protection: Regulatory Responses to File-sharing." Bart Cammaerts and Bingchun Meng, both lecturers, scrutinize the economics of file-sharing and music and argue that file-sharing is not the cause of the industry's financial doldrums. Instead, they say the decline can be attributed to an overall decrease in consumer consumption of entertainment products, leisure activities and the way people consume their music. They offer ideas on how to stimulate music industry growth.
Their paper criticizes the Digital Economy Act (DEA) as cost ineffective and troublesome with many people believing it crosses the line in privacy terms, especially as it allows for tracking individuals' IP addresses:
The DEA gets the balance between copyright enforcement and innovation wrong. The use of peer-to-peer technology should be encouraged to promote innovative applications. Focusing on efforts to suppress the use of technological advances and to protect out-of-date business models will stifle innovation in this industry.
Although statistics show a decade of dramatic declines of recorded music sales, the authors say there is no conclusive evidence file-sharing is the sole or even a central cause for this slide. These statistics also fail to note, they say, that, although recorded music sales are down, sums earned from live performances are increasing and finally surpassed revenue earned by recorded music:
In 2009 revenues from live music outperformed recorded music sales for the first time in the UK. While the recorded music industry was worth£1.36 billion, the value of the live music industry in 2009 was estimated at £1.54 billion.
The study says file-sharing poses problems but if it were not for consumers going online and listening to many different kinds of music, they never could get to hear many bands; file-sharing's great reach, thus, has boosted live performances and their revenue.
The authors argue for consumer- and user-friendly alternatives for legal downloading and cal for the demise of the Draconian DEA measures. It mentions the recording industry's legal crackdowns on consumer downloads, saying these fierce methods have failed.

Fraud scandal prompts ABC inquiry
Page Tools
The ABC is conducting an internal inquiry into its financial processes after an employee at its Sydney headquarters was charged with defrauding the broadcaster of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The ABC's human resources director, Colin Palmer, said yesterday that the inquiry had been under way for several months, after the allegations involving Mark John Williams came to light last year.
Williams, 49, of Avalon, is facing eight charges relating to a total amount of $701,000. He is accused of misusing taxi-charge dockets, credit cards, expense claims and petty cash, as well as using false invoices to bill the ABC for hiring freelance TV crews.
Mr Palmer told the Herald the figure allegedly involved was "a very significant amount. Of course it concerns us. There are inquiries going on, not only the Federal Police inquiry but internal inquiries into the processes" of how money is spent at the ABC.
He said Williams's wife, the ABC executive Judy Grant, was aware of the steps being taken internally to deal with the case. There was no suggestion the case would affect her position. "There are inquiries being undertaken with Judy's co-operation, but at this point it's a pretty heavy call for someone to step aside just because they are married to someone."
Mr Palmer said Williams had been suspended without pay. At first, he had been suspended on full pay, but that had been withdrawn "when the magnitude of the charges started to emerge".
The Community and Public Sector Union welcomed the internal inquiry but said staff were unaware of it taking place.
"You would expect they would come back to the coalface and find out how the system can be tightened up," said Graeme Thomson, head of the union's ABC section.

New rules that ban non-EU students attending publicly funded colleges from working while they study will go into effect from next month. This is in line with ongoing efforts from Home Secretary Theresa May to reduce visa fraud in the UK.
James Brokenshire, the immigration minister, said that the reforms were aimed at stopping "immigration cheats" from using publicly funded colleges in the UK. The Home Office also highlighted that student visas were not intended to be used as an alternative, backdoor route into the country's job market.
Current rules allow foreign students to work for up to 10 hours a week outside of their studies, but as of next month this will no longer be the case.
Hundreds of privately funded "bogus" colleges are likely be shut down in the process. "Hardworking taxpayers who are helping to pay for publicly funded colleges expect them to be providing top-class education, not a backdoor to a British work visa," said Brokenshire.
The new measures include:
- The length of further education visas will be reduced from three years to two.
- College students will no longer be able to apply for a work visa after completing their studies. They will have to leave the country first.
- Unless further education students are registered at an institution with formal university links, they will not be able to extend their studies.
May defended the plans with official figures, showing that 121,000 non-EU students entered the UK in the past year but only 51,000 departed.
The reforms aim for a positive impact for Britain, but academics and business leaders have warned that the sector could be damaged if the country is denied the vital skills provided by many foreign students.
The head of employment and skills at the Institute of Directors, Seamus Nevin, said that restricting talented workers from remaining in the UK after completing their studies would "damage business and lead to a loss of important skills".
The Association of Colleges also cautioned that the new measures could make Britain a far less attractive option for international students.
Nevin appealed for the proposals to be reconsidered, saying that it was in the interests of the education sector, local businesses and the UK's international standing.

St. David's Islander Ronnie Chameau says it has been her family's tried and tested method for generations.
"It is nature's barometer," Mrs. Chameau told us. "I was brought up with it."
The 67-year-old artist will be eagerly watching her jar of shark oil this weekend, but is already certain Igor's arrival is imminent.
Although her barometer showed no change yesterday, Mrs. Chameau said the telltale signs would only reveal themselves as a hurricane came within 200 miles.
Her three inches of shark liver oil are normally clear but when a storm approaches the oil turns milky white.
"As the pressure starts to drop, this stirs it up," she said. "As a hurricane passes it will settle down, but then a white peak forms in the centre. The cone then moves in the same direction the hurricane is going. It's amazing, really."
Mrs. Chameau's photograph of her shark oil, taken as Hurricane Fabian passed over the island in 2003, reveals the barometer in action with the white cone extending upwards.
"With Fabian, it started to stir up as the storm was 150 miles off," she said. "This hurricane [Igor] is still too far off, but it will hit us."
Mrs. Chameau believes it was Jacques Cousteau's son Philippe who theorized that during stormy weather sharks "get sick to their stomach" and so descend quietly to the seabed.
"It goes with the liver being the 'chairman of the board' of your body I guess," she said.
Mrs. Chameau said nature's other signs that a hurricane is on the way are leaves shaking in the trees, sand on the surface of the water and a roaring sound from our boiler reefs.
"If the South Shore goes white and the spray is misty and smells like fish, this also means a hurricane is 200 miles away," she said.

I've had my phone for a little over 2 weeks.
Not everytime, but twice after charging, the phone won't start up.
I found out here from numerous posts about the power + lower volume trick.
I can't seem to find out WHY this is happening.
Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?
Is it a permanent problem?
I love the phone, but I'm not happy about this.
Thank you.
I have the exact same problem. Twice in the first 10 days. Don't know whether my phone is defective or what's going on.

If you've always wondered where Middle Earth is in relation to Avalon, this supposedly accurate fantasy world map by Dan Meth will make your day. This is just the latest in a series of pop cultural charts by the artist. Since I'm a fan of fantasy novels, this chart is my favorite of his creations. He takes care to include everything from Whoville to The Wardrobe in Narnia. He's so thorough that I had to go look some of the names up. There should be an accompanying chart to mark how many of the names you recognize (without the assistance of Google). In my book, you get extra points if you know where Florin comes from.
This map makes me imagine an ultimate fantasy world cruise. You could begin off the shores of The Shire and end in Earthsea. Think of all the regional cuisines you could try. You'll see orcs, dinosaurs, and at least one wizard on your tour. You may not get the same all-inclusive deal as you did on your cruise to the Caribbean, but you would have the opportunity to bring back Excalibur. That would be worth sacrificing a few umbrella drinks.

perlquestion rob_au
With a small project that I am currently working on, I am writing a protocol handler which is being embedded within Apache by way of mod_perl2. When this protocol handler is accessed however, there is no entry of this access in the server access log - This of course is not unexpected given that the HTTP engine is not handling the request. My question is however, how can I write to the server access log within my protocol handler to record these server accesses? The [cpan://Apache2::Log] module only appears to offer mechanisms by which to send categorised events to the server error log, an avenue of logging which I wish to reserve for internal events within my protocol handler.

Is there any other direction or suggestion which fellow monks can provide me on this problem?

Temporary Employee Retirement Plan (TERP)
The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA 90) introduced into the law IRS Section 3121(b)(7)(f). As a result, temporary employees of a government entity may deposit money into a private retirement plan instead of Social Security.
The Temporary Employee Retirement Plan, or TERP, is a defined contribution plan authorized under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. BENCOR is the plan administrator for the University of South Florida.
Temporary Employee Retirement Program (TERP) Notice
For more information about individual investments, participants may contact BENCOR Administrative Services at 1-888-258-3422 or visit the BENCOR website (see FIND IT).
How the plan works
Social Security payroll taxes are collected under authority of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA). Social Security is currently withheld at 6.2% of eligible wages and matched by the university. Participants (Temporary, formerly OPS, employees) in this plan do not contribute to the Social Security Administration, nor is the amount contributed by the employee matched by the university. Instead, employees contribute 7.5% of their wages into an investment account in their name. Medicare contributions at 1.45% are still withheld and matched by the university. The plan is mandatory for eligible employees. Employees are automatically enrolled or un-enrolled based on their salary plan status during the affected pay period. There is no minimum age or service requirement.
Once a contribution has been made to the plan, the employee will receive an Enrollment/Designation of Beneficiary form and an introduction letter from BENCOR, the Plan Administrator. Employees may choose between a Guaranteed Pooled Fund (an interest bearing account) and a variable investment option, and will be asked to designate a beneficiary. If employees do not direct the investment of their funds, they will automatically be placed into the Guaranteed Pooled Fund.
Withdrawals from the plan
Withdrawals from the plan may be made at the following times:
- Separation/termination of employment (a 10% IRS penalty will apply if you are younger than 55 years of age)
- Retirement
- After age 70 ½ or retirement, if later, when the IRS requires that the minimum distributions be made to the participant each year
- Participants total disability
- Participants death
Distributions can be made to the participant one month (30 days) after the date of termination from the university.
Withdrawals from an account may be made in a lump-sum cash payment (the IRS 10% penalty on early withdrawals does not apply to withdrawals upon separation at age 55 or later), or plan balances may be rolled over to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan. No IRS penalty applies to these transfers.
To obtain the necessary form for a Withdrawal/Rollover from the account, log on to the Bencor website - BENCOR
Who is eligible?
Employees who are not covered by the universitys retirement plans are eligible. Adjunct faculty, Postdoctoral Scholars, medical residents and hourly and exempt Temporary employees who are not otherwise exempt from Social Security taxes are eligible to participate in TERP.
Who is not eligible?
Faculty, Staff, Administration and Executive Services employees participating in a university retirement plan are excluded from TERP. Also excluded are most students, graduate assistants, phased retirees, rehired retirees and any employees covered by current university retirement plans.
Advantages of the plan
- Participating employees are not subject to Social Security taxes while covered by this plan, and Social Security taxes are never due on these funds.
- Contributions to this plan are pre-tax. Therefore, the total amount of taxes paid will be reduced.
- No taxes are paid on the contributions until they are withdrawn.
- The account balance is portable upon separation from the university.

Sign of strength in German economy
Germany's economy, the biggest in Europe, has shown stronger than expected growth in April, May and June.
Healthy spending by consumers helped spur growth of 0.3% during the three months, the Federal Statistics Office said.
The German finance ministry said the figures showed that the country's fragile economy was recovering well.
But analysts warned that 0.3% growth was still feeble, and some continued to be nervous of prospects for the second half of the year.
The German economy - and the high level of unemployment - has been under the spotlight ahead of the general elections on 22 September.
Stable recovery
There have been growing fears that the impact of this month's damaging floods may tip the economy, which suffered recession during the last half of last year, back into a downturn.
Promised tax-cuts have already been delayed in order to pay for the clean-up operations.
But the country's finance ministry said the flooding would not damage economic expansion, and said it was sticking by a forecast of 0.75% growth for the full year.
"The upward trend remains stable," the ministry said.
"Indeed, indicators point to an acceleration in economic activity in the second half of the year."
But some analysts were not so confident.
"The outlook is clouded by mixed signals," said Rainer Guntermann, an economist at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, who forecast growth of 0.5% this year.
"Expectations indexes have weakened, and I think growth will be weaker in the third quarter because of the flood.
"We won't see any positive effects from reconstruction until the fourth quarter."

Wheat Industry Applauds World Food Prize Laureates and Reinforces Support For Biotech Wheat
Date Posted: October 17, 2013
The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) and U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) Thursday reinforced their support for the continued development of biotech wheat by joining others in the industry to congratulate the 2013 World Food Prize recipients, whose work has been instrumental to this vital technology.
While biotech wheat is not currently available to farmers, NAWG, USW and the wheat farmers who lead them support innovation, research and the responsible introduction of new wheat varieties, including biotech wheat.
Both organizations are working with industry partners throughout the wheat value chain to prepare the path for these new varieties of wheat – both biotech and non-biotech – that will improve farmers' ability to increase yields, use fewer agricultural inputs and continually improve the quality of their crop.
Wheat is a staple of the world's diet, but worldwide demand for wheat is outpacing our ability to produce it.
In fact, the number of acres planted with wheat has fallen relative to other crops with biotech options available in part because the more advanced crops offer farmers a better return on their investment.
Biotech wheat varieties, which the industry expects to be introduced within the decade, will help ensure that wheat continues to be a valuable source of nutrition for people around the world and a staple of American agriculture for generations to come.
On Thursday, Dr. Marc Van Montagu, Dr. Mary-Dell Chilton and Dr. Robert T. Fraley were awarded the World Food Prize for their roles founding, developing and applying agricultural biotechnology.
Thanks to the discoveries of these laureates, farmers around the world are able to grow crops with higher yields and a more sustainable environmental profile than was ever possible before.

By DAN KARELL
Just days after reportedly calling up uncapped dual-national John Anthony Brooks to the U.S. Men's National Team, head coach Jurgen Klinsmann will have another dual-national player to pick from.
Making an announcement on his Facebook page, AZ Alkmaar forward Aron Johannsson has decided to pledge his future to the USMNT, rejecting the nation that raised him, Iceland, despite playing for them in the youth levels.
The 22-year-old Mobile, Alabama native was mentioned by Klinsmann as recently as May as someone he was keeping an eye on, and a player that the USMNT coach wanted to bring into a camp in the near future. It's unknown whether Johannsson will be able to file his one-time switch in time for the August 14 friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, though it's certainly possible he could take part in camp regardless.
Last season, Johannsson split the season between AGF Aarhus and AZ Alkmaar, scoring 14 goals in 18 matches until December with AGF, and then three goals in five games with Alkmaar. With Jozy Altidore moving to Sunderland, Johannsson should have a great opportunity to receive a starting place for the coming season.
What do you think of this decision? Happy to see dual-nationals choosing the USMNT? Do you see Johannsson contributing to this team prior to the World Cup in Brazil? How does this affect MLS-based forwards moving forward?
Share your thoughts below.
With all of the dual nationals jumping on the USA bandwagon we need to schedule more "meaningless friendlies" to give people a chance to prove themselves. The USA is unusual in that its players are scattered hither and yon so we need opportunities to make apples vs. apples comparisons of players.
I'm glad he chose the USMT…hope he's a great addition, however I can't help but think about all the Mexican-American players, either born and raised here or just raised since infants here who have chosen Mexico rather than the country that raised them (USA).
Heck, I know some Mexican-American fans that choose to follow "El TRI" rather than their birth homeland. For each their own.
I know some too, and I poke fun at them ALL the time whether the US has the better of Mexico or not on the field. For the same reasons some here are questioning Johannsson
to each their own, no doubt, whatever side of this equation one falls on
Absolute disgrace. This guy is not American, has zero connection to our country and has no business playing on the USMNT. It makes it a little less meaningful each time we engage in gimmicks like this, picking guys with tenuous ties (if that) instead of developing players here.
Johannsson eyes an opportunity to possibly go to the world cup and earn a move to a bigger club and you guys fall all over yourselves to give him an opportunity. I wish more of my fellow USMNT team fans would have some self-respect. If we do well at the world cup, it'll mean a lot less if we do with a bunch of foreigners in the lineup.
He is an American citizen. End of story.
He was born here so technically he isn't a foreigner.
You sound angry, but i Agree with you 100% ,But i will keep my eyes on USA , Many Icelanders call him Judas ,i think that is very stupid to say ,but i might support US a bit more from now on, Mabye he will come as an American tourist,i will never see him as an Icelander .
Come as a tourist to Brazil ….
Lost in Space
Anyone who holds US Citizenship…either through their parent, their birth on US Soil, Naturalization, or Marriage is welcome to represent the US. You may not like it or think it's right….and you are welcome to your opinion….that is your right.
But you need to realize that regardless of how citizenship is obtained they who hold it are AMERICAN…and have every right to represent this country if they are talented enough to do so.
I would have thought that you would have learned from your comments on the JAB report the other day….but I guess some are truly slower than others.
But he IS an American. This dude can be PRESIDENT as long as he moves back here for a bit and yet he's TOO FOREIGN to play a simple sport for the USA? For Pete's sake folks, think this stuff through a bit.
He was born in the USA. He's an American citizen. He's just as American as you are.
Take your right-wing fanaticism back to free republic.
Someone who was born here while their parents happened to be studying here, then moved away at age one never to return is NOT as American as someone who has actually lived here their whole lives (or any portion of their lives for that matter). He's an opportunist who thinks playing on the stage the USMNT can offer will help his club career. Personally, I'd rather his spot go to an actual American. Please stop with the nonsense. Thanks.
They took our jerbs.
Jay Bonds
US fans jumping over a player who went from Aarhus to AZ. You'd think it was Zlatan or Ibisevic the association got to switch. Poor Klinsmann, has to keep getting average players from elsewhere since the system here cannot produce better talent.
if you did your homework you would have known that Aron got offers from bigger leagues but decided that at this stage in his career it was better to take the next step up in quality so he could play more. If he made the leap to the Bundesliga and did not play it would not be good for his career.
Stop glorifying this average mercenary. Falling all over yourself. It's pathetic.
You are a sh*t stain on this nation. Take your bigotry elsewhere.
Jay Bonds
So you did your homework and you know he decided to move to AZ because you were there? Please, stop talking like you know anything. Rumors are not the same as a real transfer. AZ was the best tangible/REAL offer he got. Others were all talk nothing else.
Dumb Question. When is the USSF releasing the roster for the Bosnia match?
The Squad
Book is out on this kid National team-wise….
Needs to get into a camp, mix with the players find a role on the team.
JK called him in so he has a good feel for his ability to contribute 'hypothetically' but he needs to outplay the names in the current forward pool in real time.
Folks bash the current forwards in the pool, but the mix has been their for some time now.
If this kids the gamer everyone seems to think he is then excellent…
If he's spoken with JK, studied the system, opened himself to stepping up his game or even changing aspects of his game to fit what the USMNT needs him to do then great.
Good luck to him and Brooks, at the very least-any thing he produces in camp can push the current forward pool.
Lost in Space
While the current pool of strikers for the US has produced….there are some question marks, and it never hurts to have additional options. Of the current pool we have:
Jozy – Clearly doing well (4 game scoring streak). Our current Hold-up striker
Dempsey – Good in the hole playing off Jozy. Can also play Midfield
Donovan – Good in the hole finding the pockets in the defense. Can also play midfield.
EJ – OK as a target striker…can fill in wide
Gomez – Recovering from a knee injury. Will have to get back on track or lose his spot.
Boyd – Raw talent…but needs to put it together with the USNT.
Agudelo – Needs a strong run and to stay healthy
Wondo – Not even worth discussing.
Johannson is basically on part already with Agudelo & Boyd. Gomez's injury opens the door. If he or Agudelo/Boyd can show in the remaining camps that they are equal to EJ any 2 of the 3 could leapfrog into the WC squad.
Jeremy Weaver
I'm personally happy about Johannsson making this decision. First off this looks good for coach K and the USMNT we are actually getting players to commit to our team. Second I haven't been impressed with Gomez at all, I really don't see what K sees in him. Jozy has been the only forward in top form. I know some of you will say Wondo has played well but it was against inferior competition and when it comes to any team ranked above 100 in the FIFA rankings he disappears ( note I did not look up the teams actuall rankings so don't go off on me if Cuba or Belize are ranked in the top 100). The more options the US has at forward that can actually score the better. I personally would rather have a young promising player than an older player that has proven they disappear when it counts (Wondo) hasn't impressed me at all (Gomez) or is an enigma (EJ). This is my OPPINION but I would like to hear what other US fans have to say.
Gomez has been good at times, and better than most other forwards. He's been injured and is getting older. This seaon with the Xolos after his return from surgery will be revealing. Johansson adds much needed depth to our up and down pool of forwards. The spot will be his to earn, just like everyone else.
This is good news. I have read all the dual national comments and understand the "anti" argument some, to the "non-talent" component of this. To me, the standard should be if these plays would be able to, if they wanted to or were called, serve in the US military. Dual citizens can do so. Hence, they should also be able to play for national teams, which obviously includes soccer.
The US military accepts non-citizens in some cases.
Give me your tired, your poor, your soccer players not good enough for their county.

Grace, Truth, and the Commandments
Grace, thank God for it. By Gods Grace are ye saved. Thank God for that. Today, though we look at Grace and Truth. Then Grace and the commandments. It is a Grace filled and Truth filled look at the Apostles and how they taught, lived, and saw the law. Grace and the law see's that the law could not redeem man. By Grace and Gods Truth, Jesus Christ came. He is the Passover lamb and the fulfillment of the Prophets to bring redemption, this was what the law could not do. Both the law and redemption go hand in hand.
{loadposition content-adsense}
The law doesn't justify anyone before God, the one who walks in it as a guide to walk before God, keeping his commandments as Jesus Said. This is the "covenant", keeping his commandments, Torah.
Grace through faith, justifies us before God, this is "blood of covenant"
Grace, Truth, and the Commandments
The law of Grace: Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, that as we believe in Jesus Christ, we shall be saved.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they
The law of Faith: "a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law"
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law
The Law:
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, SHK 7.0936. Thursday, 12 December 1996.
Date: Thursday, 12 Dec 1996 12:52:59 -0500
Subject: Tone of "Madam"?
"Seems, Madam? Nay, it is...."
My students think that Hamlet's use of the term "Madam" to his mother is a form
of sneering condescension. I'm more inclined to think it is a language/cultural
change, then to now. I can't find any reference to the term or its use. Any
ideas? Pointers?

The PC Police Taking Over Sports Too?
By Tank Spencer
The PC police are in full outrage mode these days and the sports world is not immune. This is not another Donald Sterling article, but that case clearly falls into that category. This past week two athletes received heavy criticism over things they said to the media, neither of which were important – nor worthy of the vast amount backlash and vitriol. Our sense of what IS important or worth raising our blood pressure appears to have diminished to next to nothing.
The first occurrence was Latvian tennis player Ernests Gulbis speaking to the media during the French Open. He was asked about the tennis careers of his sisters. He quickly replied he hoped his sisters didn't choose to become tennis pros. He said, "I wouldn't like my sisters to become professional tennis players. It's tough choice of life." "A woman needs to enjoy life a little bit more. Needs to think about family, needs to think about kids." "It's tough for a woman, I think." It's that last part that no one has paid attention to. Typically when you have an opinion about something, you're not ordering someone else to do anything.
It's amazing the number of irrational, feminist males that took to the message boards and social media blasting Gulbis for thinking that starting and maintaining a family while staying competitive in an athletic world would be harder for the mother than the father. The knee-jerk "women can do anything a man can do and damn you for saying otherwise" reaction is not only irrational, it's false. If it was true, women's sports would be much more profitable.
The second "butt-hurt moment of the week" came when Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz responded to being hit by a pitch from Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price. Ortiz said after the game "it's war." This started (as Pete Kaliner says) the wheel of the perpetually offended spinning. Even J.P., whose service to our country in the U.S.M.C. is to be commended, had a knee-jerk reaction saying Ortiz shouldn't try to compare a game to actual war.
I recommend we put all our Amelia Bedelia books away and think logically. Ortiz's statement in no way likened getting hit by a pitch to being bombed in Fallujah. I hope these same people who took offense have never jokingly said "this means war" when they have been wronged in some way. I hope they've never played a game of "Tug of War" or the card games "War" or "Tegwar."** The offended surely have never listened to "Love Is A Battlefield" and not been offended or uttered the words "he's battling at the plate" or said someone "lost the battle but won the war" when referencing something trivial.
Get a grip people.
** If you're unfamiliar with the card game Tegwar... see "Bang The Drum Slowly" (1973) starring Robert DeNiro.

Milestone birthdays like 50th birthday are the best time to commemorate the accomplishments made in the past. Birthdays are such important events every year for a person and it is really wonderful to take that opportunity to show them how much they mean to you. Showing how much a person mean to you was not only base on the expensive gifts that you could give to them. Sometimes you could let them feel that they are special by just telling them some 50th birthday quotes and sayings that they could never forget.
50th Birthday Quotes
Here are the collection of birthday quotes from famous personality, philosopher, and author.
• The face you have at age twenty-five is the face God gave you, but the face you have after fifty is the face you earned. Cindy Crawford
• You take all the experience and judgment of men over fifty out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it. Henry ford
• 50 years: here's a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love. Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren't doing what you love, then what's the point? Jim Carrey
• The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. Muhammad Ali
• By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves. Marie Dressler
• Fifty! Now is the time to make your mark on the world – explore the Antarctic or become an astronaut. Make your mind up to take on exciting new challenges – straight after your afternoon nap. – Unknown Author
• The only way to relieve the frustration of being fifty-something is to constantly seek new ways of irritating the young. Fortunately in old age, you develop the ability to do this naturally in every single thing you do or say. – Unknown Author
• Just because a woman is over fifty does not mean she no longer has anything to offer. If anything, we have so much more to offer! We have lived life, we get better with age. I do my best work now in my 60s. Sure, I could retire; but what would I do? Play Bingo? I think not! – Donna Wells
• Everyone over 50 should be issued every week with a wet fish in a plastic bag by the Post Office so that, whenever you see someone young and happy, you can hit them as hard as you can across the face. – Richard Griffiths
• The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down. – TS Eliot
• Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. – Victor Hugo
• Old age: A great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold, you may have escaped, not from one master but from many. – Plato
• When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it. – Mark Twain
• Just because a woman is over fifty does not mean she no longer has anything to offer. If anything, we have so much more to offer! We have lived life, we get better with age. – Dawn Wells
• Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again. – Menachem Mendel Schneerson
• Middle age is having a choice between two temptations and choosing the one that'll get you home earlier. – Dan Bennett
• Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. – Tom Wilson
• To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living. – Henri Frederic Amiel
• You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as you hope, as old as your despair. – Paul H. Duhn
These and many other birthday quotes are as true as the day they were spoken. Commemorate the special events of your loved ones with these thoughtful and inspirational 50th birthday quotes that they will never forget.
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." – Abraham Lincoln

China's leaders cling to the belief that they can engineer a soft economic landing. They'll just gently let the air out of urban property bubbles and fix what ails the overheated credit market with financial reforms, limited bond defaults and a fresh clampdown on shady lending practices.
Their aim is to keep everything as controlled and orderly as possible while ensuring the economy can still create enough new jobs to keep social unrest from worsening. But the messy antics of free-market capitalism keep getting in the way.Report Typo/Error

I-Team: Oil Discovered in Nevada (Part 1)
UPDATE Nov. 15 -- U.S. Oil & Gas issued a statement confirming that its test drilling found two underground areas that contain oil. However, the company had hope to find more areas with oil so the news is a disappointment to investors. The company CEO says a new round of testing will begin this month. Read the company statement.
HOT CREEK VALLEY, Nev. -- The discovery of underground riches is nothing new in Nevada. Gold and silver deposits put Nevada on the map, but a small company from Ireland recently pinpointed a different kind of subterranean treasure -- oil.
A drilling rig struck oil several months ago in Hot Creek Valley in central Nevada, east of Tonopah. The company has tried to keep a lid on the news until it can figure out how big the oil field might be. The I-Team has been visiting the drilling site since last spring.
If the numbers are even half of what some are predicting, it could be a game changer for Nevada's economy. In the past, oil has been found in the Silver State. For more than 15 years, the I-Team has reported on experts who believe there is an ocean of petroleum somewhere under Nevada.
According to the company that made the discovery, the rampant speculation is premature. They really don't know how much oil there is, though they're working hard to find out.
Hot Creek Valley is a 183 mile stretch of mountains and scrub brush, home to more cows than people, but if you cut through a semi-mysterious military facility and follow the signs, you'll find a small operation that could be the start of something really big.
Like the bovines, most Nevadans have no idea of the potential riches in the ground below. The oil industry has taken sporadic stabs at Nevada over the years, poking holes here and there, and have found oil, but not the huge bonanza many veteran geologists say is still out there. A few years back, oil geologist Alan Chamberlain predicted there could be a few billion barrel fields.
But Nevada's twisted, tortured geology has defied previous attempts to find the petroleum wellspring. Techniques that work in Texas don't work here. A new approach was needed. Its proponents say infrasonic technology allows geologists to essentially listen for oil and its distinct sonic signature. When combined with more traditional techniques, they say, it can help wildcatters figure out where to drill.
When the I-Team first visited the Hot Creek rig last spring, it was quiet and empty, but there were tantalizing signs such as oil-soaked sand and droplets of oil floating on a pool of wastewater.
In the months since, the project has kicked into gear. A small Irish company named U.S. Oil & Gas first hinted to its investors last year that it found oil in Hot Creek Valley. A company video caused a spike in the stock value and was noted in American oil journals. The company CEO wouldn't answer the I-Team's questions, except to confirm there was an oil discovery.
"We have a discovery, a discovery of oil, the first in 32 years," U.S. Oil & Gas CEO Brian McDonnell said.
McDonnell and a handful of staff have been living in trailers at the drill site for months, overseeing what's known as flow testing to figure out just how big their discovery might be. Is their infrasonic technique a gimmick or a legitimate tool for finding the right spot? After all, a drilling rig can cost tens of thousands of dollars per day.
"We didn't move forward until we were satisfied that the data reduced the risk as far as we could on our first well," McConnell said. "We achieved that by having the discovery of oil on our first well drilling."
He repeatedly declined to speculate about how big his find might be. His publicly-traded company is subject to securities regulations in both the United Kingdom and the United States and he is wary of crossing a line. But he's told his investors the oil is there and 8,000 feet of drilling pierced nine separate reservoirs. A sample of the oil shows what is called light sweet crude, considered the best oil.
"We found this very, very light oil, and this could be very shallow horizons, and there is some medium oil, dark brown oil, and this very light oil," said Dr. Karim Akrawi, U.S. Oil & Gas geologist and board member.
In Europe, heads explode with every tiny update from the drill site. McDonnell's exuberant investors are already calculating their potential riches while bombarding the company 24/7 with calls and emails. The boss isn't biting.
"We have been very cautious in everything we have said and announced so far," McDonnell said. "We would just like to verify the flow test results from this well before we say anything more. But we are very excited, and I think it is good for Nevada too."
One tell-tale sign of potential oil riches is something called chainman shale, or compressed hydrocarbons. The shale in parts of Nevada is thicker than even Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, which is one reason the company came to Nevada. How big could it be? The unofficial numbers are staggering.
The I-Team's George Knapp will have the unofficial size of the oil field at 11 p.m. on 8 News NOW.

Tell me who I am.
Join Date: Oct 2006
It's getting late now where I am and I going to go to sleep. Before that, here's the post I typed up a while ago:
Katel Stense (カテル・ステンセ)
Hair Colour:
Light blue
Eye Colour:
TSAB Mage Rank:
B (Mixed)
Magic Type:
Magic Colour:
Pale blue
Katel was born with a birth defect to her linker core, allowing her to sense other people's emotions to an incredibly high degree. She is, however, unable to turn off this ability, causing her to usually isolate herself.
She was named after a flower of the same name due to the colour of her hair. She has taken a liking to the flower, and enjoys spending time with one that grows close to her house.
Due to her ability, she does not respond well to large groups of people, and often will break down crying when in presense of one. As such, she is unable to handle normal schooling and instead has gotten her education through a tutor. Even with a small group of people, she usually remains uncomfortable.
She lived mostly just around her immediate family, and thus hasn't developed her social skills too well. Even still, she talks often with her brother, wishing that she could have the school life that he describes. However, eventually her brother left to join the TSAB and she was left alone.
One day, she surprised her parents by announcing that she wants to join the TSAB as well. Not wanting to be entirely alone, she started to train herself by taking walks into the city. Although still causing her a great deal of discomfort, she was eventually able to walk even through a large crowd without breaking down. This is when she signed up for TSAB.
Katel was considered unusual within the TSAB, but was still able to get decent marks in her training. After her training was completed, she was assigned to a small search force for searching for Lost Logia.
Even among her search force, she was considered distant. She didn't interact much with the people around her unless she had to, and tend to spend alot of time alone. Even so, she was considered a great asset to the team.
Some time later, a mysterious man also joined the search force. He had little history that the TSAB can gather, but was found to be very capable and insisted that he be placed in that team. Katel found that she couldn't feel his emotions and soon responded very well with him. He turned out to be a very kind man and talked often with Katel and the rest of the squad, although very little about himself. Although the squad found him mysterious, they were glad that he was getting Katel to open up. However…
Katel barrier jacket is composed of a light, blue dress with armguards on both arms. It has emphasis on mobility while giving her some defense where she needs it. She is a long-ranged support mage, using her bow-like storage device to give support fire.
In battle, her specialty is summoning Katel flower petals. Using them as cover, she senses her opponent's emotion to find out where they are, and shoots them with her bow. She has alot of difficulty shooting targets when she can see their face, so often does so blind. Even with this restriction, she is still highly accurate. To keep the petals from blinding her allies as well, she creates a magical link with them, allowing them to still see their targets as well as their allies through the petals.
Her defense itself is weak, and does poorly in close range. She goes around this limitation by being highly mobile, but mostly she relies on her teammates to prevent such a situation. She is still very capable in one-on-one combat situations.
Flower Burst
— Katel summons a large number of Katel flower petals, making them explode in many directions. This creates large cover that is nearly basically impossibile to see through. However, its effectiveness goes down over time, making it so that she usually recasts this often.
Flower Shield
— Katel creates a circular shield made of Katel flower petals. Upon impact, the shield slows the attack by a measurable amount, then explodes releasing the petals. Not a true shield in that it doesn't stop the attack, she uses this to assist with her evasion.
Storm Blade
— Katel creates a number of arrows and shoots them shoots them in a single direction. One of Katel's few offensive spells, it is quick and covers a large area.
Storm Falcon
— An imitation of Signum's attack of the same name, Katel concentrates alot of power into a single arrow and fires it off. This is Katel's strongest attack.
Maple Stense (メーポル・ステンセ)
Hair Colour:
Dark brown
Eye Colour:
TSAB Mage Rank:
A+ (Ground)
Magic Type:
Magic Colour:
Being Katel's brother, Maple learned to control his emotions well as to not upset her sister often. He became so good at this, he would sometimes play around with his own emotions just to see how his sister will react. Although her sister was at first annoyed at this, soon they began to turn it into a little game.
Although he forced himself to be happy while at home, Maple was often bullied at school. He would keep this secret from his sister, and would tell her stories about the parts about school he found enjoyable. Despite the bullying, Maple still had a positive outlook at school, knowing his sister who couldn't attend.
His experience with being bullied made him wanting to become stronger, so he joined the TSAB to accomplish that. Aiming for the top of the ground forces, he did well in his training and soon joined a ground-based strike force.
The news of his sister joining the TSAB surprised him, and she was already in training when he found out. Whenever he had spare time, he would go and talk to her, making sure she was alright. When she joined the search force, he also kepted in touch with her teammates.
Soon, he managed to become an independant enforcer and was well on his way of acheiving his goals. However, not too long afterwards the mysterious man joined her sister's group. Suspicious, he researched the man and soon found out his true identity. While Katel's group was returning from one of their missions, Maple confronted them.
Maple is a kind and easy-going person. He has a weakness for his sister and can be over-protective, however, he rarely lets his emotions overtake him. He can be rather predictable, but to the TSAB this is considered an asset.
In battle, he wields an intelligent device that takes form of a wooden katana-like sword. He is fast, both in movement and in his attacks. Although he is capable of flying, he prefers to stay on the ground during combat.
For magic, Maple often summons vines in order to bind his opponent, or to use as a whip to effect his opponent's movement. When he gets an opening, he extends the blade of his device for greater impact.
Although lacking in ranged attacks, by manipulating his opponent's movements and taking advantage of his quick speed, he can quickly close the gap. His dodging skills are also well developed, and his defensive magic is also powerful. His biggest weakness is in his rather weak offensive capabilities, but he can often outlast his opponent to make up for this.
Viny Bind
— Creates a summoning circle close to the target, from which vines come out to bind the target, immobilizing it.
Power Vine
- Summons a large vine which Maple uses as a whip. Wraps around targets easily, allowing the user to effect its movement.
Wood Shield
— Shield spell that creates a shield made of very tough wood.
I originally created these two for something else entirely, but thought I could adapt them into here as well. Tell me if any of these characters sounds wierd, because that's a likely result of the conversion.
Maybe I should've left out the mysterious man though… well, I'll be explaining him later.
Edit: Why don't aren't the "About"'s a's capitalized?
Edit 2: M -> Maple
