Racers Against Multiple Sclerosis PLEASE HELP ME MAKE A…Continue
Posted on January 14, 2011 at 10:19am — 1 Comment
HELLO ALL,,,,WHY ARE WE HAVING PROBLEMS UPLOADING OUR PICTURES? IF YOU WANT US TO ENTER,,,,PLEASE TELL US HOW WE GET OUR PIC'S ON THE ENTRY FORM???? RON, FOUNDER OF Racers Against Multiple Sclerosis,And builder/driver.
Posted on October 11, 2010 at 8:26am
Hey Ron, How ya doing on the wiring? I'd like to give ya a hand at it, but not much I can do out here on the left coast! I could draw up a wiring diagram for you, but I'm not familiar with the harnesses you're using. Could you scan/send me the instructions (or give me a website I could check out) so I can see just what it is you're dealing with. I could try explaining to you HOW to go about it. I've got "abit" of experience it wiring, wiring that is reliable that is. A drag truck shouldn't require a lot. One wire for the ignition, one for the starter, and one for the brake lights (are they required?)( I guess so you could let the guy behind you he could give it up, cause you're ALREADY across the finish line!).A toggle switch will work for the ignition, a pushbutton for the starter, and the brake light switch down on the brake pedal is all you need for control. Each one of the switches should be fed from a fuse box that attaches to the positive battery terminal. All the circuits are completed through the ground (any metal).
That'll get er goin!
Depending on your instrumentation, you'd need one each, for the tach, oil pressure, and water temp, that is, if you have electric gauges.
Let me know if there is more I could do.

Rat Control
Norway rats are primarily a nocturnal, outdoor inhabitant. Outdoors, they live in burrows and under piles of trash. Occasionally they will find a way to set up housekeeping indoors. Outdoor rats probe the exterior perimeter of buildings at night seeking food and shelter. Outdoors, they feed on insects, grains, garbage, garbage dumpsters, dog food, and bird seed. They follow pipes, holes in the foundation, beneath garage roll doors, and any other opening they can find to enter a building. Once inside, they forage for food, such as dead insects, kitchen scraps, and pantry items. Once established indoors, they investigate their territory multiple times a night looking for food.
Rats defecate and urinate throughout their territories.
Some serious diseases of humans are associated with
rat infestations. They are certainly unwelcomed guests
in and around buildings. Amendt Pest Control State-certified
sales and service technicians are on call to eliminate
rat infestations and offer service and recommendations
for preventing future rat problems.

approaching Assisi
The Basilica of Santa Chiara is seen above the roofs of Assisi, Italy. Note the re-enforcement on the tower.
A modern art museum within a hotel or a hotel within a contemporary art museum. Hard to say! Upon entering the large parking lot, the imposing stainless steel sculpture by Nicola Carrino, makes the guest feel he is about to stay in a different hotel. This sensation is enhanced by the painting of Franco Troiani in the hotel lobby which welcomes the traveller with its rich and yet relaxing pastel colours. The Arte Hotel is embedded among the grfeen hills which surround Perugia, only a 10 minute drive from its centre. It offers 82 rooms, finely furnished, each room enriched with a unique work of art and equipped with all modern comforts. Greatest italian taste restaurant.
Photo taken in November 2010 in Assisi. Rocca Maggiore
Brother Elia had designed the lower basilica as an enormous crypt with ribbed vaults. He had acquired his experience by building huge sepulchres out of hard rock in Syria.
The Franciscan monastery (Sacro Convento) and the lower and upper church (Basilica inferiore e superiore) of St Francis were begun immediately after his canonization in 1228. Simone di Pucciarello donated the land for the church, a hill at the west side of Assisi, known as "Hill of Hell" (it. Collo d'Inferno - here the criminals were put to death). Today, this hill is aptly called "Hill of Paradise".
Assisi was hit by the devastating twin earthquakes that shook Umbria in 1997, but the recovery and restoration have been remarkable, although much remains to be done. Massive damage was caused to many historical sites, but the major attraction, the Basilica di San Francesco, reopened less than two years later.
Assisi is a town in Italy in province of Perugia, Italy, in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Mt. Subasio. It is the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Clares. Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows of the 19th century was also born in Assisi.
Now the site of many a pilgrimage, Assisi is linked in legend with its native son, St. Francis. The gentle saint founded the Franciscan order and shares honors with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature (his preaching to an audience of birds is one of the legends of his life).

Current title:
Director of Public Affairs, U.S. Air Forces Central Command and Ninth Air Force
Military branch:
U.S. Air Force
Recent accolades:
I was chosen by the Air Force to command the 1st Combat Camera Squadron, a squadron of 150 war photographers deployed to frontlines around the world.
What aspects of your education at Montevallo prepared you for your service in the military?
They're too numerous to count. From working with fellow fraternity brothers in fundraising events, to the SGA and Omicron Delta Kappa, Montevallo not only provided a solid education but provided a well-rounded approach to the whole-person concept — a balanced approach that prepares young adults to go out into the world and achieve amazing feats.
Words of wisdom:
Focus on the future. It may seem distant now, but will arrive in the blink of an eye. Focus on friends and family, build networks and help others wherever they may be. Montevallo can prepare you for life's most stressful situations even if it doesn't seem like it right now.
Who would you like to thank for your success?
Without a doubt, my wife and best friend Angie. She's put up with seven moves in almost 14 years in the Air Force — military spouses deserve every ounce of credit for today's military successes. A few mentors whom stood out on campus include Dr. OJ Carson and Dr. Sam Simone. These two not only took the time to help me develop professionally and academically, they've given so much to their departments at the school and generations of graduates throughout the South East. They're two whom I'd consider helped me get where I am today.
What was your favorite aspect of Montevallo?
Creative freedom — whether in the classroom, as an SGA Senator, through intramural sports or with fraternity life. Montevallo's holistic approach to life and academics allowed me to build a solid approach to thinking outside the box, a major factor present in military operations. Furthermore, Montevallo provided a heuristic gateway to continue on education at multiple levels throughout my life.

Medium to small but a good mix of swell that will get into those little nooks and crannies.
Tropical weather over weekend and Monday with SW winds. Then cooler into the week with NW winds in the afternoons. Spring time – You know the routine; get some waves when you can!
Kayaks and SUP in the waves can be wild and so the subject is controversial.
I am sure you can find plenty of folks that will complain; especially if the waves are really good.
The show goes on though and should be good spectator sport.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello Shank,
Congratulations! Your age should not affect your sex life at all. Older men sometimes start to experience erectile issues but females do not have this problem. In fact many people believe that when a woman reaches her 30's she is more comfortable with herself and more sexually open and interested in sex more. It also will not affect your ability to have healthy children, if there is no pre-existing condition. Don't worry about things until it's time to worry is my motto, 9 years isn't that big of a deal if you love each other. Good luck with everything
Was my math off? 32-23 is 9 correct? At any rate, no, 11 years will not matter if two people love each other, I have seen couples with an even larger gap and they are very happy. It's all up to the individuals.
I'm here if you want to talk more.

The woman involved in Anthony Weiner's most recent sexting scandal is apparently planning to ride the wave of publicity.
Sydney Leathers has written an article for XOJane.com, a digital women's magazine. In her article, Leathers offers a 10-step guide for women looking to seduce politicians, the Daily News notes.
Describing Weiner as a "weird science experiment," Leathers advised would-be seductresses to "indulge his craze alter-ego" but never to "laugh at him." She warns her readers that they must "keep a straight face" even it it's "hard sometimes."
She noted that Weiner would thank her after each orgasm. But she claims she never replied with a "you're welcome," because: "Who thanks someone after an orgasm?"
The sexting controversy involving Leathers erupted last month as Weiner waged a bid to become New York's next mayor, rebuilding a political career that was derailed almost two years ago when he stepped down as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives over improper texts and pictures he sent to various women.
Weiner has indicated that he will not quit the mayoral race, but the latest sexting revelations have sent his poll numbers plunging and given comedians rich new material.

The professional organization for the social work profession is the National Association of Social Workers (NASW): http://www.naswdc.org/. This organization was founded in 1955 as the result of a merger of seven separate and specialized social work associations. Regular membership in NASW is available to anyone who has an undergraduate or graduate degree in social work from an accredited program. Social Work students may join NASW at reduced rates if they are enrolled in an accredited social work educational program.
NASW is involved in many different kinds of activities, and sets standards for social work practice. The Association offers a full range of professional publications designed to keep social workers up-to-date with respect to new knowledge in the field. Services provided by NASW include group insurance rates and continuing education opportunities. Members of NASW are active in the political arena at the national, state and local levels, seeking to improve services to client groups. NASW-Alabama – For Alabama Social Workers
All social work programs in the United States are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE): http://www.cswe.org/. The Council is a national entity and has a smaller scope than the NASW, although a most important function in maintaining the integrity of the social work profession. CSWE is the only organization authorized to set standards for social work education programs and to provide accredited status to those programs that meet those standards. As of 2012, there are 473 accredited undergraduate social work programs, including UM, in colleges and universities across the United States. The Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards that guide all social work programs in curriculum, can be found at: http://www.cswe.org/File.aspx?id=40200.

Cork Free Presbyterian Church, 10 Briarscourt (Annex) Shanakiel, Cork, Ireland Pastor: Colin Maxwell. Email:email@example.com
By Colin Maxwell
This article was written after reading the blurb of Dave Hunt's new book critiquing Calvinism. ("What Love Is This?") with its subtitle: Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God. The blurb is meant to give a quick insight into the nature of the book. People often buy books on the basis of the blurb. It says a lot in a few words. I am signally unimpressed with the contents of the blurb. I am left wondering why certain things are worded the way they are. The words below have books like Mr Hunt in mind, but I have not limited myself to his bookģand therefore some of the things said might not be applicable to Mr Hunt in particular. I also make reference to two sites which are reviewed in this site. I say this in case I get irateemails. I have no desire to get into personalities. I am not attacking Mr Hunt or any one else. Any emails along that line will be ignored. I was simply shown the blurb of his new book - read it - and groaned!
Mr Hunt's blurb, produced in the April 2002 edition of his magazine The Berean Call, gives the following "few examples" of what Calvinists believe. He does qualify this a little by pointing out that "Not all Calvinists hold to all the basic tenets of this theology, yet each point says something about the character of God and His gospel." I am not nit picking here. Had Mr Hunt stated our case accurately, then I would never have presented this article. Here are Mr Hunt's "few examples" of what Calvinists are supposed to believe. They appear indark blueģmy comments appear in (bracketed red) afterwards.
* Man must be regenerated before he can believe the gospel.
(My comment:I have no objection to this comment. Calvinists believe that since sinners are dead in trespasses and sin, then they need new life so that they can believe. After allģif they can savingly believe the gospel without the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, we are left wondering why do they need regenerating at all?)
* God elected some for salvation according to His sovereign pleasure.
(My comment: AgainģCalvinists would have no complaints about this description although I can hardly see even Mr Hunt disagreeing with this statement as it stands. I meanģhas God elected some for salvation outside of His sovereign pleasure? If anything, the statement is a little too succinct. It would have been more accurate to say that Calvinists believe that God elected some for salvation solely according to His sovereign pleasure. Although it doesn't say all that it could, the omission does not essentially change the meaning.)
* Jesus died only for a select few, not everyone.
(My comment: A fair enough observation. Of course, if we place fallen men and fallen angels together, I assume that Mr Hunt would also believe this doctrine. Did Jesus die for the demons who are going to be tormented forever or give them an opportunity to be saved ? No, I didn't think so either. However, Mr Hunt means that Jesus did not die for every last sinful son of Adam, but only for the elect.)
* God predestined multitudes of souls to the Lake of Fire, to His glory.
(My comment: It's here that Mr Hunt starts getting shoddy. He does not tell the whole story and so presents a caricature. It would be more accurate to have said: "God predestined multitudes of souls to the Lake of Fire for their sins to His glory." Just three words more paint an entirely different picture. He is not alone in this type of thing. Mr Cloud in one of his articles against Calvinism quotes the Westminster Confession of Faith God's Eternal Decree. Unfortunately, he quotes only from paragraphs three to six of this third chapter and leaves it there. If we were prepared to let ourselves be led by such editing, we would be under the impression that some men are predestined for hell on a purely arbitrary basis. However the WCF teaches in the seventh paragraph of the same chapter that God passes by those not elected and "ordains them to dishonour and wrath for their sin, to the praise of His glorious justice." Again, this paints an entirely different picture. It may be that some professing Calvinists fit the bill as Mr Hunt suggests. I put to you now that they are a very small minority and that the vast majority of Calvinists believe in Spurgeon's maxim that: "Salvation is all of grace. Damnation is all of sin." If Mr Hunt is aware of this, why tackle the fringe element? Perhaps the blurb does not truly reflect the book itself. Hopefully the book makes the distinction. If it doesn't, then it won't - because of the seriousness of the subject - be worth the paper its printed on.)
* Man cannot choose to receive Christ.
(My comment: Again the full story is not told. Truth has been compromised on the altar of brevity. It would be more accurate to state: "Man cannot choose to receive Christ without being regenerated." Or "Fallen man cannot of himself choose to receive Christ." The truth is that in my salvation, I chose to receive Christ. I was certainly willing to be saved. No one is ever saved against their will. But my willingness to receive Christ as my Lord and Saviour came about because I was born of God (John 1:12-13) My sinful will in bondage to my sinful heart, had the innate power to keep me from Christ until it was changed and I came freely and willingly to Christ. This is the full story and the only one Calvinists are really expected to defend.)
* Those whom God chooses cannot resist the grace of salvation.
(My comment: Mr Hunt is both grammatically and theologically correct in his statement. He does not say - at least in the blurb - that Calvinists believe that the elect cannot resist the Holy Spirit or even worse that the Holy Spirit cannot be resisted. Sometimes this is put forth as a Calvinist belief when it is nothing of the sort. I resisted the Holy Spirit on numerous occasions. However, we do believe that there comes a time in the experience of those elected that they will resist the Holy Spirit no more.)
* Assurance of one's eternal destiny is related to performance.
(My comment: I would like to know exactly what Mr Hunt means by this. It could admit of a number of things. I note that the word assurance is used as opposed to the destiny itself. If Mr Hunt means that Calvinists believe that men living spiritual lives can be assured of salvation, then I say Amen! We repudiate the teaching that men who are living in wilful sin can claim to be saved. However, this is not an exclusively Calvinist teaching. It is a teaching that goes right across the board.)
Answer:The answer to this one depends on the quality of the literature. We do not insist on reading only literature sympathetic to the Calvinist position. Calvinism has nothing to fear from being examined. Spurgeon said: "I am not afraid to submit my Calvinismģto the searching of the Bible." (1:172) Personally I feel that having left behind the alternative sovereign man based message which most of the anti Calvinism articles espouse, there is nothing in it that would induce me to go back. Having been there and tasted of its professed dainties, I have better fare in the Doctrines of Grace. This does not prevent me from reading what non Calvinists have to say. On this site, we review two articles attacking Calvinism: Click here and here.
I can agree to disagree with an non Calvinist - although I think that he is wrong to oppose these doctrines. I find that reading such anti Calvinistic literature helps stimulate me. It drives me to the Scriptures. It forces me to rethink my position. I am a five point Calvinist, but I do not believe in forcing them into the Scripture. Perhaps reading non Calvinist writers keeps me balanced. To quoteSpurgeon again, "Try to see the whole range of Scripture. Believe in Calvinism; but if there be a single truth which only the Arminians hold, believe that too. Do not put your feet into Chinese shoes to be squeezed after the current fashion into an orthodox shape; be willing to have a broad understanding: receive anything which God has revealed, and be content to take the whole of GodÆs truth, whether you can make it into a system or not." (11:42)
Having so said - basically if you find well reasoned, well researched criticism - go for it! Yet there is quite a lot of rubbish out too. There are articles where Calvinism is either grossly misstated or grossly misrepresented. Where it is obvious that the writer either hasn't done his homework - possibly he is just rehashing someone else's offering - or he is out to deliberately misrepresent the Calvinistic faith. The judgement of charity leads me to suppose that often the homework hasn't be done. Avoid shoddy work. If I may quoteSpurgeon again: "The most infamous allegations have been brought against us, and sometimes, I must fear, by men who knew them to be utterly untrue: and, to this day, there are many of our opponents, who, when they run short of matter, invent and make for themselves a man of straw, call that John Calvin and then shoot all their arrows at it. We are not come here to defend your man of straw Ś shoot at it or burn it as you will, and, if it suit your convenience, still oppose doctrines which were never taught, and rail at fictions which, save in your own brain, were never in existence." (7:550) A quick glance will immediately convey to you whether the work is worth reading. READ THE BEST WORKS.
These may be identified by the following criteria:
1) WHERE THE WRITER CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CALVINIST AND A HYPER CALVINIST: It is amazing how many people think that a hyper Calvinist is just a zealous Calvinist. Others identify all who believe in the five points of Calvinism as hyper Calvinists. Yet there is a vast difference. On this very site where we have several articles propagating Calvinism, there is an section entitled"The Horrible Curse of Hyper Calvinism" Hyper Calvinists do not believe in man's responsibility - true Calvinists do. Hyper Calvinists do not believe in the free offer of the gospel - true Calvinists do. True Calvinists put as much distance as they can between themselves and Hyper Calvinists and this act of disassociation is often reciprocated. If a writer cannot tell the difference between the twoģthen he is hardly worth reading! Save your time and money for someone who deserves it.
2) WHERE THE WRITER DOES NOT SAY THINGS LIKE CALVINISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN EVANGELISM: One of thearticles reviewed in this site takes this line. I need not labour the point here, but it is patently untrue. Think of the many names that stand out in Church History as soul winners - how many of them were Calvinists? If your list of soul winners can only go back to a period after Charles G. Finney, then a good book on the history of the Christian Church will be a wise investment. Up to Finney, most of the great soul winners were all five point Calvinists. John Wesley is a notable exception - and even he did not believe in man's ability to believe. His treatise on Original Sin is as Calvinistic in content as any Reformed writing. He concluded this treatise by quoting at length from Thomas Boston's Fourfold State of Man. Boston - another soulwinner - was a five point Calvinist. Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, McCheyne, Spurgeon etc., were all Calvinists. The man acknowledged as the "Father of modern missionary endeavour" was William Carey. Carey was a solid Calvinist. A writer who says that Calvinists do not believe in evangelism either cannot tell the most basic difference between a Hyper Calvinist and a true Calvinist or is pitifully ignorant of Church History. Read those books where the writer fairly states the case. For the record, I am willing to acknowledge those non Calvinist soul winners. (Of course, being a Calvinist, I can consistently give the Lord all the glory!)
3) WHERE THE WRITER DOES NOT SAY THINGS LIKE CALVINISTS ARE FATALISTS: This also crops up from time to time. It is untrue. Calvin himself distanced himself from such thinking: In his commentary on Daniel, Calvin writes: "He next adds, Jehovah our God is just in all his works. In this clause the Prophet confirms his former teaching, and the phrase, God is just, appears like rendering a reason for his dealings; for the nature of God supplies a reason why it becomes impossible for anything to happen by the blind impulse of fortune. God sits as a judge in heaven; whence these two ideas are directly contrary to each other. Thus if one of the following assertions is made, the other is at the same time denied; if God is the judge of the world, fortune has no place in its government; and, whatever is attributed to fortune is abstracted from GodÆs justice." And again in the Institutes of Christian Religion: "The providence of God, as it is taught in Scripture, is opposed to fortune and fortuitous accidents." (Institutes: 1:16:2)Spurgeon answered it also: Did the Calvinism of Oliver Cromwell make his Ironsides idle! Did they not keep their powder dry? They believed that they were chosen men of God, and were they not men of valour? Did this doctrine mar their energy? So in every good enterprise our churches are never behind. Are we backward in Missionary enterprise? Are we slow to send forth men of God to preach in foreign lands? Are we deficient in our efforts? Are we the people who would preach to a select few? Ś who would erect buildings for worship that the poor scarcely dare to enter? Are we the people who would keep our religious services for a privileged circle? The fact is, the most zealous, the most earnest, and the most successful of men, have been those who have held this truth, and therefore it cannot be true that this tends to damp our energies or thwart our zealous the best proof of this is especially in our lives. In the midst of GodÆs holy congregation let us pledge ourselves to-night, that holding this truth, it makes us neither unholy nor inactive.(6:553) The trouble with some non Calvinists is that they seem to get themselves worked up into a frenzy when these doctrines are on the agenda. Hatred of Calvinism drives them to say the most untrue things. * Although I have an issue with David Cloud over his claim that Calvin did not believe in the free offer of the gospel - a most untrue statement if ever there was one - Mr Cloud's article is at least free from such nonsense about fatalism. He does acknowledge that many Calvinists are soul winners but does not sufficiently distinguish between Calvinists and Hyper Calvinists and this tends to muddy the waters a little unnecessarily.
4) WHERE THE WRITER GIVES A LIST OF AMPLE AND FAIR SOURCES: It is interesting to read articles where we are served a diet of what the writer thinks Calvinists believes. Such are usually void of any references. It is important that all sources and references be checked. By giving references, we can quickly see who the offender is. Suppose a critique boldly states "Calvinists do not believe in the free offer of the gospel" and then quotes the Articles of the Strict Baptists - especially the Gospel Standard Section of that denomination - we may conclude that all the writer is going on are the Articles of a small denominational group. We may ask why he did not chose to quote from a more representative Confession e.g. the Westminster Confession of Faith which clearly teaches the free offer? Furthermore, by giving the reference, we may check out whether or not the critique writer has actually done justice to his source. Let's go back to Mr Cloud's amazing contention, mentioned above, that Calvin did not believe in the free offer. Although the actual quotation which Mr Cloud supplies itself does not prove his point - it deals with the effects of the gospelģnot its offer - the very next sentence (which was omitted) actually reads:Let this suffice for the present: although the voice of the gospel addresses all in general, yet the gift of faith is rare. (Institutes 3:22) Thankfully Mr Cloud did supply the reference and we can therefore check the facts for ourselves and dismiss his claim as untrue. Often what happens is that we get some pulpit sermon preached against Calvinism which has been put into print. It is not feasible to give long quotations or references in a sermon, especially if preached to the average congregation. When it comes to printing the sermon, it is often given word for word without any additions or actual quotes or references and subsequently we are often left facing a complete caricature.
5) WHERE THE WRITER ACCURATELY PORTRAYS THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE - EVEN IF HE DOES AGREE WITH HIM: I return to Mr Hunt's book - which sparked off this article. Supposing I am standing in a Christian Bookshop. I see the title which is pretty neutral, but notice the subtitle which is at once aggressive. In itself the subtitle will not put me off. As a Christian, I certainly do not want to believe a theology that misrepresents God. I turn to the back of the book or the inside cover. That's where the blurb gets its chance to sell me the book. As seen from the review above, I am hardly impressed. On the matter of the damnation of the lost, the blurb is seriously deficient. As observed, unless the blurb and the contents of the book part company, I can picture me reading a book that tells me that Calvinists believe in a God who just damns men for the sheer fun of it. Believe me, I have looked at books and websites, where the God of the Calvinists has been portrayed as a blood thirsty monster. Should I buy and read that kind of literature? My answer is decidedly "no" I am a steward of the time and money God gives me. If after setting forth that Calvinists believe that God damns men on account of their sins, to the glory of His justice, the writer wants to make a case that our God is a monster, then the case of the writer is not so much against Calvinists, but against all Christians because this is the common belief of all. But if he cannot state our case accurately, then why waste time and money?
* I accept that often Calvinists say and write untrue things about some non Calvinists and their beliefs. Such action is to be condemned - no matter what side it comes from.

How do you prove a white supremacist should not hate others because of the color of their skin? Do a blood test, and find out that he is a member of the race he loathes.
That's exactly what The Trisha Goddard Show did for Craig Cobb, a 62 year-old neo-Nazi who tried to make an "Aryan enclave" out of a small town in North Dakota.
Cobb was invited on the show to take a DNA test to prove his lineage, but when the results revealed that he was 86 percent European and 14 percent Sub-Saharan African, Cobb was in utter disbelief. When British TV host Goddard, called him "bro" and attempted the famed Obama fist bump, Cobb got very red in the face and refused to acknowledge his "Blackness."
The DNA results did not include where Cobb got his 86 percent of European blood, but it's probably not all from Nazi Germany.
The glorified racist needs to not only check his ethnic roots, but to also think about exploring American history. Since Cobb wants to revert back to segregated America, he should investigate the "one-drop rule," a Southern term which mandated that if a person had "one drop" of black blood then they were considered black. It sucks when your find out that you hate yourself.

It is well documented that dysregulation of microRNAs is a hallmark of human cancers. Thus, this family of small non-coding regulatory molecules represents an excellent source of sensitive biomarkers. Unique microRNAs expression profiles have been associated with different types and subsets of gastrointestinal tumors including gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). GEP-NETs are a heterogeneous group of epithelial neoplasms with neuroendocrine differentiation. At present, early detection and surgical resection of GEP-NETs represent the best chance for a cure. Thus, clinically useful biomarkers for GEP-NETs that strongly correlate with early detection are urgently needed. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of miRNAs in GEP-NET carcinogenesis and their possible use as novel diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) represent a heterogeneous group of epithelial neoplasms with neuroendocrine differentiation that can arise in all the organs of the gastrointestinal system and pancreas. Significant clinico-pathological differences exist among the different subtypes of GEP-NETs. The most common histologic subtype, accounting for 85% of GEP-NETs, is the well differentiated form [
GEP-NETs are defined as functioning (syndromic) or nonfunctioning (nonsyndromic), depending on the presence of a syndrome related to inappropriate hormone secretion [
At present, the early detection and the subsequent surgical resection represents the best chance for a definitive cure [
The rarity of the disease and the fact that many patients with GEP-NETs show an indolent course has discouraged significant research efforts for this disease [
Among these potential new diagnostic and therapeutic targets, microRNAs represent a recently uncovered class of small and endogenous non-coding RNAs [
MiRNAs are a class of endogenous, small (19 to 25 nucleotides), non-coding RNAs that modulates the expression of at least one third of protein-coding genes. As a result, miRNAs regulate all aspects of cell proliferation, differentiation and function, and their discovery has shed new light on the mechanisms of both cell physiology and human pathology [
MiRNA genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus into long transcripts called primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) [
The pri-miRNAs are processed by the nuclear RNase III Drosha and its cofactor DGCR8 (DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 8). This complex generates 60-100 nucleotides precursor miRNA (pre-miRNAs) products, which locally fold into stable secondary stem-loop structures [
The two potentially functional strands released by Dicer are separated by helicases, and the mature strand is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) [
In the RISC, miRNAs negatively regulate gene expression at the post transcriptional level by base pairing to partially complementary sites on target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), usually in the 3' untranslated region (UTR). Binding of a miRNA to the target mRNA typically leads to translational repression and exonucleolytic mRNA decay, although highly complementary targets can be cleaved endonucleolytically [
Another important mechanism of miRNAs function is their influence on neighboring cells and at more distant sites within the body in a hormone-like fashion [
The first evidence of miRNAs involvement in human cancer occured in 2002 through the characterization of chromosome 13q14 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [
As noted, miR-15a and -16-1 were the first described tumor-suppressor miRNAs. Their loss, by releasing the inhibition upon tumor-promoting genes, such as
Overview of the different molecular techniques applied in the study of miRNA dysregulation in human pathology. All techniques could be applied to tissue sample (
The recent development of different high-throughput miRNA profiling technologies has allowed the characterization of the miRNA expression profile for many human malignancies. MiRNA expression profiles differ depending upon cell, tissue, and disease, and miRNA profiling can accurately classify the different tumors according to the tissues of origin, which can be especially helpful in the case of poorly differentiated carcinomas of unknown origin [
The use of the traditional histological examination in the diagnosis and classification of cancers can be limited by the availability of adequately preserved tissue and the possibility of subjective interpretation by pathologists [
Many reports have already demonstrated the excellent reproducibility and accuracy of miRNA expression profiling in archived specimens. Moreover, in FFPE specimens, miRNA expression can also be visualized at cellular/subcellular level by
Each step of miRNA generation and function, both intracellular and endocrine, can potentially be therapeutically targeted. Preclinical models have consistently highlighted the efficacy of miRNA based therapies, either alone or in combination with current targeted therapies [
The therapeutic application of miRNAs involves two strategies: miRNA reduction and miRNA replacement. miRNA reduction is directed against a gain of function and seeks to inhibit oncogenic miRNA by: (i) small-molecule inhibitors acting on regulation of miRNAs expression at the transcriptional level; (ii) antisense oligonucleotides that bind to complementary miRNAs and induce either duplex formation or miRNA degradation; (iii) miRNA masking using molecules complementary to the 3'-UTR of target miRNA, resulting in competitive inhibition of downstream target effects, and (iv) miRNAs sponges, oligonucleotide construct with multiple complementary miRNA binding sites to target miRNAs [
In contrast to many other tumor types, very little is known about microRNA expression patterns in GEP-NETs. However, a significant number of oncogenic and suppressor miRNAs have been identified in pancreatic (PanNETs) and ileal GEP-NETs, which further support the possible use of specific miRNAs signatures to predict clinical outcome in neuroendocrine tumors [
Among PanNETs, miR-204 was primarily expressed in insulinomas (well-differentiated), and correlated with immunohistochemical expression of insulin. On the other hand, miR-21 overexpression was associated with high Ki67 proliferation index and the presence of liver metastases [
miR-21 is significantly overexpressed in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and it is detectable in patients' plasma samples. (
Matthaei and colleagues from Johns Hopkins Hospital identified a miRNAs expression pattern including nine miRNAs (miR-24, miR-30a-3p, miR-18a, miR-92a, miR-342-3p, miR-99b, miR-106b, miR-142-3p, and miR-532-3p) derived from the analysis of selected miRNAs in cyst fluid samples, which successfully discriminated cystic forms of PanNETs from other pancreatic cystic lesions, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) [
Two relatively recent miRNA expression profile studies provided evidence of miRNA dysregulation in ileal NET progression [
The use of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for cancer treatment is rapidly increasing. Moreover, many researchers are exploring the potential use of these small non-coding RNA as therapeutic molecules. Only limited data on miRNAs' role in GEP-NETs has been accumulated so far. The challenges ahead lie in the reliable identification of progression-specific targets to enable molecular testing in the clinical management of GEP-NETs as well as the development of safe and specific methods of delivery of miRNAs for innovative GEP-NETs treatments.

The Ultimate Ratchet & Clank HD Collection Trophy List
Let me set the mood for you. You're 10 years younger – slightly more attractive, but not as wise. "Hot in Herre" by Nelly was at the top of the music charts (go ahead – listen to it again. No one is judging you). xXx staring Vin Diesel somehow made $277 million dollars. Annoying long scarves were annoyingly fashionable. And a 12 year old me was off drinking as many Mountain Dew: Code Red as possible. It's 2002.
Moodified yet? Good. Because I'm about to drop Nostalgia Bomb on your face. It was 10 years ago that we experienced our first slice a Lombax and his robot friend: Ratchet & Clank. We delved into a game full of cheeky wit, massive exploration and gravity defying weapons. And man, oh man, did we love it.
But that was 10 years ago. It's now 2012 and the 10th anniversary of Ratchet & Clank. In celebration, the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection containing the first three games in the franchise is landing soon with a shiny new graphical overhaul. But that's not all. The game also contains a little thing called Trophies. Yes, those virtual symbols of monumental gaming accomplishment are now a staple of our culture. And, yes, the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection has a mountainous amount of trophies for you to earn and treasure. And, yes, there are three Platinum's. Get excited trophy hoarders.
Here's a rundown of my favorite trophies from the Collection:
Bolt Collector (Sliver) – Ratchet & Clank
For this trophy you need to collect 1,000,000 bolts in the game. I know what you're thinking: "B-Ra, it was so simple to get a milli bolts in Ratchet game. This will be easy breezy!" Well, that was in the newer Ratchet games, sir or madam. The original doesn't give em' out easily like their Pauly Shore's autograph. You need to earn them.
Cluck, Cluck (Bronze) – Ratchet & Clank
Guns are fun, right? (the virtual ones, kids) How do you make them more fun? Make the gun turn enemies into chickens. Like a tank! Now it's a chicken tank! Which is ironic, because I wouldn't be a chicken if I was in a tank. Not that I'm a chicken normally…
More Vandalism? (Bronze) – Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
Creating is a magnificent experience. There is a certain spectral joy that comes from crafting something. However, most of the time this creative joy pales into comparison to the visceral pleasure of destruction. So, go on. Enjoy yourself. Destroy everything in the Megacorp Store on Planet Oozla. It's the Ratchet way.
Omega Man (Silver) – Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
No, this isn't a trophy for watching the screentastic 1970's sci-fi film The Omega Man. It's even better than that. You get this puppy by buying all the Omega versions of the weapons in the game. So, after you up your arsenal – you need to up it again. And then you should watch The Omega Man because it'll make your day at least 20% cooler.
Skill Master (Silver) – Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Fun Fact: Insomniac was doing trophies before it was cool with Skill Points. To get this Trophy you need to get all the Skill Points in the game. So, let me lay it out for you. You do a bunch of challenges, to unlock a challenge, which is a part of another set of challenges you have to unlock. Meta. All it needs is a few *BWAAAAA*'s and it's good to go.
Let's take a look at the rest of the bunch, shall we?

BOURNEMOUTH Council says its gritting operation has been in constant operation since 9.45pm on Wednesday.
The authority's fleet of four gritting lorries has been laying down quantities of the council's 1,200 tonne supply of Safecote salt on a 232-mile network of roads across the borough.
Council spokesperson, Rachael Mills, said the gritting operation was ongoing.
"We have salted all the primary roads, including the main commuter routes, A-roads, routes to hospitals, and roads leading to the town centre.
"All the main routes – including Wimborne Road and Ringwood Road – have been gritted.
"We've had a constant operation since 9.45pm last night. We are still on full gritting operation. It will be ongoing for the foreseeable future. Obviously, overnight will be critical," she said.
A new shift of drivers started work in the early hours of this morning to continue the operation, and "all available manpower" has now been diverted to "hand salting" – treating pedestrian areas.
Several on-line readers had posted concerns for roads in Bearwood, Kinson, and Winton, and questioned whether the roads had been treated.
Ms Mills said falling snow and constant road use meant conditions could change shortly after roads had been treated. "The whole run takes about three hours. If snow is falling, it can be very quickly churned up. The operation is on-going and the entire network is treated effectively every three hours," she said.

League Cup success earned the club its first invitations to European competitions, but they were not eligible to participate because they played in the then Third Division. As compensation they were entered into the 1969 Anglo-Italian League Cup and the 1970 Anglo-Italian Cup, with Swindon winning both. These wins were led by the club's talismanic winger Don Rogers, with the South Stand subsequently being renamed after him from the 2007/2008 season. Swindon Town enjoyed a notable period of further success under the stewardship of Lou Macari from 1984 – 1989, resulting in two successful promotions. Following a further successful spell under Ossie Ardiles, Glenn Hoddle took over and guided Swindon to their only appearance thus far in the Premier League during the 1992 – 1993 season.

From Outer Space: Adobe Photoshop 6.0
Codenamed Venus In Furs, the first major release of the new millenium was version 6.0, which hit stores in September 2000.
Changes and new features introduced in this version include various changes to the user interface, the Liquify filter, Vector Shape support, and improvements to layer styles interface, to name a few.
Adding to the web-friendly features introduced in 5.5, version 6.0 added layer-based slicing--handy for web-layout work.
Paint The Sky - Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Version 7.0 of Photoshop, codenamed Liquid Sky, arrived in 2002.
It was the last major version with a numerical-only suffix, and also the last to run on the classic Mac OS 9. In 2003 Adobe released the Camera RAW plugin for Photoshop 7.0, adding the ability to manipulate digital data from an ever-growing range of cameras.
A Matter Of Name - Adobe Photoshop CS
In 2003 Photoshop had a slight name change due to becoming part of Adobe's growing list of creative applications. Adopting the CS (that's Creative Suite) suffix, the eigth major version, which was codenamed Dark Matter, saw a slew of new features.
The 2003 release saw the addition of customizabale keyboard shortcuts, along with the ability to now write text directly onto a set path. Other features introduced include support for larger files, new match color tools, a new layer management tool called Groups, shadow and highlighting effects and more.
In an effort to reduce piracy Photoshop CS was the first version of the program to require product registration.
One impressive feature added into Photoshop CS was the ability for the program to automatically detect when an image of a bank note had been opened or scanned in. This feature was introduced to reduce the ease at which fake currency could be created - clever stuff.
Eye Of The Monkey - Adobe Photoshop CS2
Known as Space Monkey during development, 2005's CS2 introduced the third version of the aforementioned RAW plugin. Space Monkey added support for HDR images and saw the introduction of the red-eye tool from Photoshop Elements.
Other tools added to CS2 included the spot healing brush, smart objects, the smart sharpen feature and the vanishing point tool - perfect for editing image perspectives. CS2 also saw the ability to select multiple layers at once - handy.
Enter The Matrix - Adobe Photoshop CS3
Known internally as Red Pill, CS3 landed in 2007. Noticably speedier, version 10.0 saw a slew of new features and saw improved support for Vista and native support for Intel-based Macs.
10.0 saw the quick select tool added, along with special image optimization tools for creating mobile-friendly files. Changes to the curve, vanishing point, brightness and contrast tools were also introduced adding to the growing range of image-editing niceities on offer.
A Change Of View - Adobe Photoshop CS4
Project Stonehenge, known to you and me as Photoshop CS4, hit shelves just one short year after CS3 in 2007. CS4 featured a number of user interface changes, making the programs design a more simplified and streamlined affair.
Version 11.0 of Photoshop, which added native support for 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, also welcomed in a range of new file management and display options.
CS4 also added improved raw image processing, the addition of the Masks panel, along with changes to the adjustment panel.
Leaping Forward - Adobe Photoshop CS5
The most recent version of Photoshop arrived last year, bringing with it such impressive features as Content-Aware fill and various 3D tools.
CS5, codenamed White Rabbit, also introduced 64-bit support for Mac OS X along with a range of new realistic painting tools.
The Camera Always Lies
So in 21 years Photoshop has come a very long way. What started out as a simple greyscale image handling program evolved, and grew in popularity - to "photoshop" has become a verb, just proving the cultural reach Knoll's program has today.
Photoshop has changed the way digital images are handled, altering the way in which photographs are created. That, and it gave us lolcats, as promised:
Geek Tip: Each version of Photoshop has an alternative splash screen, which bears its codename: to see it just go to the Help menu and hold down CTRL whilst clicking About.

Miley Cyrus Tweets Pic of Marijuana Leaf Phone Case
She's come a long way from her days as a Disney darling, and Miley Cyrus gave us more proof of that in a new photo she posted to Twitter on Saturday (May 25).
The "Hannah Montana" star snapped a selfie in an attempt to show off her new suspenders, but instead drew attention to her fondness for the wacky tobacky.
In the pic, the 20-year-old singer/actress reveals her toned tummy, Chanel suspenders, and her cell phone case bedazzled with a marijuana leaf. Also sporting her engagement ring, Miley captioned the snapshot, " I <3 #chanel."
Earlier, fans may have been hoping for another scandalous snapshot when she tweeted, "Truck truck. What what? Butt Butt. All night long!!! #thongsong." However, that tweet was merely accompanied by a photo of Ms. Cyrus' iPhone playing the song.

Solar geoengineering is a proposed approach to reduce the effects of climate change due to greenhouse gasses by deflecting some of the sun's incoming radiation. This type of proposed solution carries with it a number of uncertainties, however, including geopolitical questions about who would be in charge of the activity and its goals.
New modeling work from Carnegie's Katharine Ricke and Ken Caldeira shows that if a powerful coalition ever decided to deploy a geoengineering system, they would have incentive to exclude other countries from participating in the decision-making process. Their work is published by Environmental Research Letters and is available online.
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of coal, oil, and gas have been increasing over the past decades, causing the Earth to get hotter and hotter. Large volcanic eruptions cool the planet by creating lots of small particles in the stratosphere, but the particles fall out within a couple of years and the planet heats upagain.
The idea behind solar geoengineering is to constantly replenish a layer of small particles in the stratosphere, mimicking this volcanic aftermath and scattering sunlight back to space.
"Attempts to form coalitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have repeatedly hit the wall, because it's difficult to get everybody to participate in a substantive and meaningful way," Ricke said. "Members of coalitions to reduce emissions have incentives to include more countries, but countries have incentives not to participate, so as to avoid costs associated with emission reduction while benefiting from reductions made elsewhere."
But a game-theoretic model developed by Ricke, Caldeira, and their colleague Juan Moreno-Cruz from the Georgia Institute of Technology showed that when it comes to geoengineering, the opposite is true.
Smaller coalitions would be more desirable to the participants, not less, because those members could set the target temperature to their liking without having to please as many parties.
Likewise, countries that aren't included in the coalition would actually want to join so that they could move the thermostat, so to speak, in the direction that better suits their interests. Since the costs of geoengineering are so much lower than mitigation, once a coalition has formed and has successfully implemented geoengineering, it would have an incentive to exclude permanently other willing participants.
"My view, aside from any technical result, is that it should remain a central goal to maintain openness and inclusiveness in geoengineering coalitions, so that all people who want a voice in the decision-making process are able to have that voice," Caldeira said.

M.B.A. students develop marketing strategies for National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
Seven teams focused on topics such as marketing, increasing membership, pricing | July 18, 2006
It was a special class for several reasons. First, the students, who had been divided into seven teams, worked on a variety of marketing strategies for one of Cincinnati's newest landmarks: the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
Second, the students presented their plans to John Pepper, non-executive chairman of The Walt Disney Co., the former chairman of Procter & Gamble Co. and recently named CEO of the Freedom Center. Also in attendance at this special class were University President Michael J. Graham, S.J., and Williams College of Business Dean Ali Malekzadeh.
Assistant professor Vishal Kashyap's Marketing 901 class had gotten the assignment just a few weeks before.
"The project was a wonderful opportunity for the students to connect strategic marketing theory with practice," says Kashyap. "The Freedom Center is an important part of the Greater Cincinnati area and our students' involvement with this unique institution is a concrete example of how we at Xavier University try to add value to the learning experience."
The teams focused on topics such as marketing, increasing membership and pricing and presented their ideas and suggestions in carefully thought out PowerPoint presentations. Some suggestions included changing the pricing structure, providing coupons for admission discounts, emphasizing the use of the Freedom Center's theater, and enhancing web presence and technology.
One group designed a new logo; another proposed and presented a new brochure. Several teams suggested shortening the name from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to just Freedom Center.
Pepper and Gary Dowdell, the Freedom Center's chief financial officer, threw out questions to the students during each presentation, as did Graham and Malekzadeh.
"This was a great opportunity not only for our students," says Malekzadeh, "but it was also a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the Williams College of Business and the Cincinnati business community."
Pepper said the students presented good ideas and that some of the suggestions were very helpful. "You've given us some ideas to think about," he told the class. "We will go back and digest all of this and may come back to discuss some of them more in depth."

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello. Is the rash raised? Is it all over your body or in specific places? Is it worse or better when anything specific is done?
I would suggest going to your doctor and suggesting that they do an allergy test. Maybe there is something that is causing you this problem that can be eliminated. You should use laundry detergent that is clear of any chemicals and use soap for sensitive skin until you have the doctor check out the rash. It sounds like a response to an irritant. Something that is irritating your skin which most commonly is due to laundry detergent or soap. I hope this has helped.....They can do a simple blood test or a skin test to test for allergies

Feedback Effects and Asset Prices
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Full Text HTML
- Author(s): EMRE OZDENOREN, KATHY YUAN
- Published: Jul 19, 2008
- Pages: 1939-1975
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.2008.01378.x
Feedback effects from asset prices to firm cash flows have been empirically documented. This finding raises a question for asset pricing: How are asset prices determined if price affects fundamental value, which in turn affects price? In this environment, by buying assets that others are buying, investors ensure high future cash flows for the firm and subsequent high returns for themselves. Hence, investors have an incentive to coordinate, which may generate self‐fulfilling beliefs and multiple equilibria. Using insights from global games, we pin down investors' beliefs, analyze equilibrium prices, and show that strong feedback leads to higher excess volatility.

If there was ever any doubt about how small the crowds at Detroit Red Wings games would be, they were silenced Tuesday night.
Around 4,000 people packed into Compuware Arena in Plymouth, MI to watch the Red Wings play their annual Red-White game. The Red Team emerged as the winner by a score of 4-2.
Teams were a mix of Red Wings regulars and members of the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
"It was nice to have a little game-like action," said Henrik Zetterberg, who was named the team captain just before the game. "It's as close as we can get to a game. It was a lot of fun to see all the fans come here. Real loud out there. It was a little taste of coming back and playing in The Joe."
The White Team scored first in the first period after Trevor Parkes stole the puck from Riley Sheahan in the neutral zone. Parkes skated in all alone and fired a shot between the pads of Jonas Gustavsson. Drew Miller answered for the Red Team in the second after he knocked in a rebound off of a shot from Jordin Tootoo past Jimmy Howard. Griffins' captain Jeff Hoggan made it 2-1 in favor of the white after he knocked in a shot from Kyle Quincey.
Louis-Marc Aubry tipped a shot from Jonathan Ericsson past Howard to knot the score at two.
Zetterberg would score the go ahead goal in the second after he knocked a rebound from Damien Brunner past Howard.
Howard said after the game that he was impressed with Brunner, who played in the Swiss league last season.
"He's got some great skill and it's going to be fun to watch him this year, especially if he's going to be playing with Z," Howard said. "He knows how to get open, he knows how to find that soft area, and Z's good at finding people, so it should be a good connection."
Nathan Paetsch added a goal for the Red Team in the third period. Four out of the game's six goals came from members of the Griffins (Parkes, Hoggan, Aubry, and Paetsch).
The Red Wings were given Wednesday off from practice. They will resume with two practices Thursday and one Friday before traveling to St. Louis for the season opener against the Blues. Puck drop is set for 8 pm.Tags: Detroit, Detroit Red Wings, Hockey, NHL

Jerusalem (Jan. 25)
Submitting to the pressure of the Palestine government and Arab leaders, Emir Abdullah today announced the cancellation of the agreement to lease 70,000 dunams of his personal domain for Jewish settlement, the reports of which have been agitating Jewish and Arab circles for the past fortnight.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin el Husseini, is believed to have played an important role in bringing about the cancellation of the lease as the Emir's action follows on the heels of the Grand Mufti's visit to him in Amman yesterday.
Simultaneously Emir Abdullah authorized the Arab press to announce that he does not intend to lease his land to foreigners in the future.
E### Abdullah's cancellation of the lease is in line with the demands of Arab nationalists in Palestine, Syria, and Iraq, who have threatened him with reprisals. The Istiklal, Arab Independent Party, had threatened to overthrow him unless the agreement with the Jews were rescinded.
In contrast with the opposition of Arab Nationalists in other countries, were the resolution adopted by Transjordan shieks, approving the agreement of Emir Abdullah and the memorandum favoring Jewish settlement submitted by them to the Colonial Office as well as to Emir Abdullah.
The difficult economic situation in Transjordan was the reason given for Emir Abdullah's lease of his land.
Abdullah denied that he ever signed an agreement with the Jews for the lease of land, it is now reported here.
According to the reports, Emir Abdullah stated that he had only signed an option for the lease of the land but now is determined not to lease it to foreigners.

I have seen how well the resident's do after living at the two homes run by the Sundari Foundation. They receive job training, counseling, parenting skills and many other things.
The Lotus House Women's Shelter is a unique, immensely supportive community environment for homeless women in Miami-Dade County. It provides not only a place to stay and food to eat, but also one-on-one daily wrap around services with each guest in order to help these women gain steady income and become self-sufficient with stable housing and resources. I have personaly seen women who were left with nothing as the result of domestic violence, illness or poverty go through Lotus House's program to obtain housing and dependable income. Lotus House is helping women daily change their lives and get back on their feet. It is a wonderful organization.
Being a volunteer at Lotus House has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We have fun lessons, while learning a language that it is key for their prospective job career. Women and kids are the integration center of any family. At the shelter, you can feel they are a large, whole, and powerful family, where every one has their own responsabilites and support each other. The staff and President, are always available at the shelter, ready to serve and help at any moment, facing the challanges with such a positive attitude, always with a BIG SMILE!! They are an example for all of us, I am so privilaged to be able to participate and be of service in whatever way I can! In todays society, I just wish children and teenagers new more about this project...
My wife and I heard abut Lotus House from someone we know that is familiar with the type of program Lotus House uses to assist women in need. It caught our attention and we visited the House and talked to its leader and got to meet some of the employees and volunteers. Lotus House approach to serve is unique in the sense that helps women with different needs to spend time in the House for a period long enough that lets redirect their lives. It is not a short term shelter to assist in short term basic needs. The women are supported in dealing with their particular need, trained to move forward in terms of employment, they get the message that they are important and that the House is not a quick fix. When you visit the House you feel a sense of peace and love, you see that the people there both the women guests, volunteers and staff really have a common purpose. It is refreshing to see that places like this exist in the middle of the very confused world we live in today. Vivian/Ralph Morera
I first learned about the Lotus House in 2007. I volunteered there for part of a semester for a project in my Women & Leadership course. From my first visit to the property, I was moved. The environment and atmosphere was a calming one, especially in a neighborhood like Overtown. After my semester project, I knew that I wasn't finished with the Lotus House. My heart knew that this organization was a jewel of an organization, and I couldn't wait to get involved again. With the love and help of the Women's Studies student organizations at Florida International University, we coordinated several clothing drives and volunteered at some of their fabulous events to support the Lotus House. I think that it is important that the women that have the opportunity to partake in what the Lotus House has to offer--whether resident, staff, or volunteer--has the opportunity to experience a positive transformation for the body, mind, and soul.
Making art as an adult requires a certain amount of bravery and a willingness to take risks. The rewards are complex and spiritual but the challenges sometimes seem daunting and the justifications for so much time and energy often frivolous. Not so at the Lotus House. As we hang out with the ladies and draw or paint or tie-dye or just gossip while struggling with beading or duct tape or whatever materials we are transforming, some kind of wonderful open aura of ideas and "making" floats around the space. We are all bliss-ed out together by reinventing something. Everyone there is full of talent of one sort or another and many unexpected ideas flow out while we get our hands dirty. Maybe it's the fact that women sitting together start to bond with little coaxing. How can you ignore such a wonderful refuge and resource? Women who leave the Lotus House after their healing experience become productive compassionate much evolved members of society. Bravo.
The Lotus House shelter is a warm and caring space where women in need can find the resources they need to help them get back on their feet. They provide a broad variety of services for the clients in all areas, mind, body & spirit. I am impressed with the whole approach and commitment of the staff. It is a wonderful place filled with hope.
This organization works. Philosophically sound, the Lotus House theory put into practice has enabled many women to find their center and come to a place where they can support themselves and often, their babies. Everyone participates from residents to volunteers to staff in sensible, practical harmony that produces concrete results; empowering individuals & enabling them to not only survive, but in many cases thrive, in the general community after they move on from the shelter.
I have never seen women undergo such positive transformations by being part of an organization as I have seen at Lotus House.
The experience I have had with the women and volunteers at the Lotus House have always been so positive. The shelter helps so many women and babies and I am happy to donat all that I can to help them. The volunteers are very helpful and appreciative.

Peabody Energy's earnings in Australia fell sharply in the June quarter, pressured by weak coal prices and with high operating costs.
Peabody said the global seaborne coal trade was expected to continue to grow this year, reaching a record 1.2 billion tonnes, buoyed by demand growth in China and India as well as countries such as Japan, which has commissioned additional coal-fired power generation. Cutbacks to high-priced output in China had also helped lift global volumes shipped.
''The world's largest producers - China and the US - have reduced production and we expect additional cutbacks in the second half,'' it said. US exports fell 30 million tonnes in June alone, it said, with further cuts expected as legacy contracts expire.
Earlier this week, Peabody ratchetted up its cost-cutting efforts, announcing a heavy round of lay-offs in Australia. In the June quarter, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from its Australian operations fell to $US112.5 million from $US240.4 million a year earlier, on revenue of $US744.8 million down from $US884.9 million.
Peabody said it had moved aggressively to cut costs, including deferring some capital spending as well as taking over direct mining operations at some of its mines. Overall, capital spending is being cut by around 20 per cent.
Additionally, it is implementing ''top coal caving'' at its North Goonyella mine in Queensland as well as spending to modernise the Metropolitan mine in NSW.

VIDEO PREMIERE: Finntroll "Häxbrygd"/
Back in April 2010, Decibel pitted Finntroll against Norway's Troll in a brutal troll-off. The segment, brilliantly titled Under the Bridge, can be found here in dB #66 if you're at all curious as to who won the bridge battle. Then, in the winter of the Year of Our (Dark) Lord, the festive Finns in Finntroll debuted new tune, "Blodsvept," to 28,000+ domestic spins and plaudits from the group's primary audience. We might have not put the prop-ears of Mathias "Vreth" Lillmåns or the steam-punk goggled Samuli "Skrymer" Ponsimaa on the cover of our Toilet's Friend called a magazine yet, but we've had a pretty decent relationship all things considered. This, of course, brings us to the U.S. premiere of new Finntroll video "Häxbrygd," which translates from Swedish to English as "Witch Broth" or "Witch Stew." Pretty cool song title that's bound to be band name for a stoner/occult group from Ohio in 3...2...1. Anyway, "Häxbrygd" showcases Finntroll in all their rollicking glory. Fully costumed and ready for the next cosplay convention, the Finns know how throw a metal party. They're menacing one moment, skanking the next, smiling and grimacing like they relish what they do. The only things missing from the Robert Rodriguez-esque video are steins of ale and a bevy of heaving wenches.
May "Häxbrygd" put you on the down-slope path to hump day.
** Finntroll's new album, Blodsvept, is out now on Century Media Records. Furry-footed, rubber-eared, steampunk-painted trollics can acquire, for modest sum of Renny coin, Blodsvept HERE.

ARHT2636 - Contemporary Indigenous Australian Art
Semester 2, 2011 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Roger Harold Benjamin
This unit studies the efflorescence of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, which makes up over half of today's Australian art market. While providing a grounding in major movements like Papunya Tula (from 1971) and bark painting in Arnhem Land, the focus will be on critical and theoretical issues affecting art practice today: questions of appropriation and copyright, the relationship of art to native title and reconciliation, the market for Indigenous art (from prestigious auctions to tourist shops), the politics of curatorial practice, the changing status of women artists, the Indigenous use and re-use of photography, and the relevance of postmodern and postcolonial theories in reading urban art. Key figures treated will include Tracy Moffatt, Gordon Bennett, Rover Thomas and Emily Kngwarreye. Certain classes will be conducted at the Art Gallery of New South Wales or the Museum of Contemporary Art. Lecturers will include prominent Indigenous curators and artists.
