By Douglas Robson, Special for USA TODAY
If you've ever dreamed of playing in the U.S. Open, your chances just improved.
Taking a page from the U.S. Open golf tournament, and perhaps from talent contests such as American Idol, the United States Tennis Association today will announce a nationwide playoff for all comers. The prize: A berth in the U.S. Open qualifying tournament.
"It sounds really cool," Venus Williams said Monday after her fourth-round win against Italy's Francesca Schiavone at the Australian Open. "I'll definitely stay tuned," added the seven-time major winner, who grew up on public courts in Southern California.
The U.S. Open National Playoff is open to any player 14 or older and costs $125. It will be administered through 16 of the USTA's 17 sections, with pre-qualifying tournaments held from April to June. The winners will advance to a national playoff during the US Open Series, which culminates at the U.S. Open in New York.
USTA officials say the playoff is designed to broaden the reach of tennis and create more buzz during the summer hardcourt swing through North America.
"The fact that the U.S. Open National Playoffs are supported by qualifying tournaments run by our sections makes this event even more unique, extending the reach of the U.S. Open across the country," USTA Chairman and President Lucy Garvin said in a statement.
Tennis participation numbers have been rising, with more than 30 million players picking up rackets in 2009, according to an annual survey commissioned by the USTA and the Tennis Industry Association. That's the highest figure in two decades.
Playoff entrants must be current USTA members. There are no limits on expertise, and officials expect a range of players.
For instance, two-time overall World Cup champion skier Bode Miller— a former high school state tennis champion in Maine — has signed on to try his luck.
"While professionals are eligible to play, we expect the draws to be filled with top junior players, collegians, teaching professionals and even recreational players who will now have a chance to play themselves into the U.S. Open for the first time," U.S. Open tournament director Jim Curley said.
Details are available at the USTA's website.

Granger's Hidden Gem Cherry Hill Provides Family Fun [Sponsored]

This is such an hilarious video. I am not sure I like the song he is doing but his moves give people without the costume a run for their money!
Meet Christian. Not only is he one of the most adorable kids you've ever seen in your life, he was born with heterotaxy - a condition where one's organs are all mixed up. Most usually don't live to see their first birthday but, in Christian's case, he's about to turn one years old and is inviting everyone to his birthday party at Abby's on Monday, March 3rd! Proceeds of sales will benefit National Organization Mended Little Hearts.
Sports fans have a lower threshold for the word "emergency." While most people reserve the term for events like heart attacks, major world crises and running out of toilet paper, sports fans know that true emergencies are things like double overtime and last minute drives. So you can forgive one loyal hockey fan for having to change dinner plans based on the fortunes of his favorite team.
Most People when they get pizza in Yakima they usually go to the basic pizza places. Its either Pizza Hut, Dominoes or Little Caesars (at least those are the most common). Little do people know that there are much better options to go out and get some very good pizza. Here are my top five places to get pizza in Yakima.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when life steers your car straight into a pizzeria, you order a large pie.
Fact: everybody who isn't a monster loves the smell of pizza. But that doesn't mean that Pizza Hut should be making a pizza-scented perfume. Especially because their pizza is exempt from the "everybody loves the smell of pizza" clause. But they're doing it anyway.
Pineapple not exotic enough for you? Jalapenos leave you cold? Then if you're looking for an unusual pizza, look no further than a southwest Florida pizzeria known as Evan's Neighborhood Pizza, and their Everglades pie.
Nothing commemorates the greatest tragedy in American history quite like a pizza sale! A pizzeria in upstate New York decided to honor the 11th anniversary of 9/11 by selling large cheese pizzas for $9.11. The uproar was predictably appropriate.
Confucius once said "Beer and pizza go together like beer and pizza." He said it during his later years, he might have been losing his quotability by that time. Anyway, b
Why have I never thought to do this before? It's completely genius.
Erin O'Keefe and Amy Milano set an officially-sanctioned world record by slapping each other in face with slices of pizza a combined 174 times in 15 seconds.

Kings fans smash Guinness World Record for 'loudest crowd roar' at 126 decibels
The Kings may not be tearing up the league this season, but their fans just smashed the Guinness World Record for crowd noise during a Friday night game against the Pistons at Sleep Train Arena.
During a first-quarter stoppage in play, a sellout crowd of 17,317 Kings fans roared at 124.9 decibels, destroying the Guinness World Record for "Loudest Crowd Road at an Indoor Sports Stadium." Then, during a second-half stoppage of play, Kings fans broke their own mark, roaring at 126 decibels to set a new record.
The previous record was set by Bucks fans, who roared at 106.6 decibels at the Bradley Center on Dec. 20, 2008. That one was just sitting there waiting to be broken.
An official from Guinness World Records was on hand to observe and verify the record, and present the organization with a certificate. Sacramento Kings fans recently took to Twitter to raise ground support for breaking the world record for indoor crowd noise when the team hosts the Detroit Pistons on November 15.

Exploring a New Berlin
By SERGE SCHMEMANN; SERGE SCHMEMANN is chief of the Bonn bureau of The Times.
Published: February 25, 1990
BERLIN, it now seems likely, is to become once more the capital of the Germans. In principle, that should make the city whole again, a megalopolis of three million people free to reclaim its place among the great centers of European culture and industry. But it is hard to imagine how the return of the capital will do more than add one more Berlin to the bewildering set already shaped by a tortuous history. Schizophrenia seems the natural condition of this city, where for so long the Berlin Wall served not only to divide but to shape disparate cultures and lives.
Even now, when the unceasing ring of thousands of chisels rapidly reduces the Wall to rubble and the Germans wander back and forth with impunity, to cross between East to West is still to walk between different worlds. But it is also to witness these worlds at a moment of great and rapid change, and that is the most compelling reason to be there now. The fall of the Communist order is tangible, and the drama of German reunification is played out daily.
The signs of change are everywhere, from the rusted outline where the symbol of the Communist party used to hang on the Central Committee headquarters on Franzosische Strasse to the darkened windows of the immense hulk of the old Ministry of State Security on Jacques Duclos Strasse. At the Museum of German History in East Berlin, the old paeans to Communist achievements still dominate, but the section on the Berlin Wall has been closed, presumably to replace the old explanations about the ''anti-fascist protective barrier.''
With the defeat of Nazi Germany, the hand of fate and the wisdom of the Allies left much of historic Berlin in the Communist East, and the zoo in the capitalist West. This was somehow appropriate: East Berlin grew into the gray, pretentious capital of the German Democratic Republic, a bland expanse of mass-produced housing and polluting factories enclosing bullet-scarred pockets of old Berlin and its imperial grandeur. Following Stalin's lead, the German Communists sought to establish their might through expansive squares and boulevards, topped by the giant lollipop of a television tower that dominates the Berlin skyline (and on a clear day offers a splendid panorama of the city).
On the other side of the Wall, or rather surrounded by it, West Berlin developed into a rambunctious island of urban glitter, funky counterculture, high culture and self-conscious idiosyncrasy. It came to be the place for West Germans seeking to escape their ordered land: the Wall sealed out not only Communism but also much of the inhibitions and angst of West Germany.
To find the heart of West Berlin, follow the signs to the zoo. It is, in fact, a fine old zoo, but the life around is even wilder. On a warm evening, punks and skateboarders hang out around the memorial ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Church, and during the day thousands of shoppers flow between the Ka De We, the largest department store in Europe - with a better fine-food department on the sixth floor than Harrods - and the boutiques and cafes of the broad Kurfurstendamm, the Great White Way of West Berlin better known as the Ku'damm.
Even the common past took different shapes on either side of the Wall. In the West, painful debates have raged over what to do with the remnants of the Third Reich - the mound of rubble that was the Gestapo headquarters on Prinz-Albert Strasse, the villa (now a children's home) at Wannsee where the ''final solution'' was decreed, the railroad yard at Grunewald where Jews were gathered for transportation to concentration camps.
The reminders are there in the East, too, but until recently the debate was muted - the Communists officially rejected responsibility for the past, and the plaques on the bullet-marked vestiges of the Third Reich treated them as curios of some alien history. Some sites were not deemed worthy of survival: Hitler's bunker, just south of the Brandenburg Gate, for example, has been obliterated by new housing.
But the Jewish cemeteries at Weissensee and on Senefelder Platz still bear haunting testimony to the dignity and roots of a doomed people, and the ornate facade of the gutted synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse, now covered in scaffolding - it is being restored and converted into a museum - testifies to the fury of the great pogrom of Crystal Night, Nov. 9, 1938.
The legacy of the Prussian empire and the Berlin of old is also on view in the East - in the grand palaces, statues and bridges along the Unter den Linden boulevard, in the lovely Nikolai Quarter with its restored cobblestones, wrought-iron signs and cafes, in the row of rebuilt town houses along the Markisches Canal, in the newly accessible Brandenburg Gate.
Touches of old Berlin and the scars of war are indelible, too, in West Berlin. The wrought-iron arches of the elevated S-Bahn, the tree-lined streets off the Ku'damm - most notably the charming Fasanen Strasse with its galleries and boutiques - the restored Charlottenburg Palace with its formal gardens, all add antique grace notes to a brash and modern town, while the occasional ruin or pock-marked facade gives it a quality all its own. PETER SCHNEIDER, who described in his novel ''The Wall Jumper'' what it was that bound him to this strange city, is among the veterans of the rebellious young Germans who invaded West Berlin in the 1960's and transformed the city from a half-dead Western occupation zone into the most vibrant scene in either Germany.

Hey everyone,
Congratulations on the re-design of your website and the consolidation of your tools! We are very excited and have had little to no issues with the API since your upgrade [thumbs-up!]
Quick questions for everyone out there: is it possible to include dynamic images (using custom field) on confirmation emails? If so, we seem to be missing something... if not, what are the chances on implementing this feature?
It's certainly possible, and actually quite simple. All you need is a custom field containing the image name, and in your HTML
img src="http://www .yourwebsite.com /images/[theimage,fallback=generic].jpg"
for example, where [theimage] is the tag for your custom field. The value of that field will be inserted for each email, and if there is no value, your fallback image will show.

Me and my partner went here for a week and loved it!
Hotel is old and dated, it was so empty so not much atmosphere but can not fault it for location. All rooms have a great sea view. However we would go back to the island but we will book one of the many villas across the island.
Car hire is a must here, we hired for a week and explored the whole island. There are some beautiful places and the owners of the hotel are fantastic with letting you know where to go and how. We hired a car once we got there which is so easy however would book before you go.
St Thomas beach is a nasty walk 10 min walk down the steepest hill, but is well worth the visit, water is completely clear. There are two restaurants on st Thomas beach which don't look like much but the food is gret! Mythos and Assos are lovely areas that must be visited! Assos has beautiful restaurants on the sea.
The restaurant in the hotel is ok but I would say eating out is a must here. This does mean either paying 30 euros back and forth to argostoli, the capital of the island or hiring a car. We would leave late morning and stop off in a village for lunch then for dinner on the way home. We found some great places off the beaten track this way. The southern areas of the island are beautiful. Sadly everywhere we went it was fairly pricey. At least 15 euros for a main meal.
Argostoli is quite touristy so steer clear if you don't want that, it's quite easy to have an isolated holiday on this island.
Weather was lovely, lunchtime was very hot with little breeze.
Take a map with you! There are none on the island! Although we got lost and found some places it would of been quicker to know where we were going.
Take beach towels, they provide bath towels only.

CHICAGO – As his senior teammates hoisted the Big Ten regular season trophy 11 days ago, guard Jordan Hill, with his outstretched right hand and his red championship hat, managed to get a few fingertips on the base.
He was grinning on the outside, but he was churning on the inside beneath his sport coat and dress shirt that he didn't have a bigger piece of the action.
It's the same feeling that has been a part of Hill's DNA since the fall, angry and frustrated that he's redshirting and not playing on game days. He hasn't moped or complained. He's simply channeled that anger to be Wisconsin's primary offensive weapon on its scout team.
"My work ethic is not going to change, regardless of what my position is, whether I'm playing 30 minutes or not at all," said Hill. "I am still really frustrated. I am not going to sugarcoat that. I hate not playing. I hate not being able to be on the floor, contribute, help our team win and be a part of the success in a more fulfilling type of way, but I'm doing what I can when I can."
An aggressive competitor playing in high school, prep school and on the AAU circuit, a trait that caught Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan's attention that facilitated the scholarship offer, Hill's drive led to his desire to play the minute he stepped on campus.
After averaging only 2.3 minutes in 11 games last season as a true freshman, Hill sat out UW's two exhibition games prior to this season before coming to his redshirt decision, recognizing that his playing time would have again been sparse with two senior guards – Josh Gasser and Traevon Jackson – in the starting lineup, sophomore Zak Showalter coming off his redshirt year and classmate Bronson Koenig emerging as a top bench option last season.
That left Hill, the only scholarship point guard remaining, to battle daily on the scout team.
"He's done a good job of always being in attack mode," said assistant coach Lamont Paris. "That's what scout team is for. All the guys do it, but particularly at the point guard spot, you're typically the trigger man for most offenses. Sometimes you are more of a scorer, sometimes you are more of a facilitator, so he's does a good job trying to figure out the role he's playing that week and handles it."
Hill's role moving forward becomes critical to the success of Wisconsin. Not only are the Badgers (28-3) entering tournament season, starting with tomorrow morning's matchup with No.9 seed Michigan (16-15) in the Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals at the United Center, Wisconsin will have multiple scouting reports to prepare for and little prep time to learn.
Serving as the opponent's lead guard on the scout team, Hill has portrayed slashers, high volume shooters or a combination of the two, doing impersonations of Duke's Tyus Jones, Indiana's Yogi Ferrell, Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell and Michigan State's Travis Trice or a combination of both, like Penn State's D.J. Newbill.
As much as he is forced to emulate others and play a different style every prep, Hill takes every scout opportunity to improve his shot, get better coming off screens, ball security and having proper footwork. Most importantly to him, his attitude has changed.
"The thing I have improved on from last year is not being so down on myself," said Hill. "There were times last year where I would have a practice where I didn't miss a shot and then have a practice where I didn't make one. I've improved my consistency as far as the shots I choose to take and actually taking and making those shots. I think the volume of shots is OK, but I would rather have the coaches' yell at me because I didn't shoot a shot rather than come off a screen and throw up a shot just because. That's not going to help me get better."
Because his role during games is limited, Hill puts in long hours in the gym working on shooting and ball handling. He routinely makes a phone call to one of the team's managers to help rebound for him when others have gone home for the night.
He also takes inspiration from others. Watching Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry do some ball handling drills on the Internet, Hill hit the practice floor the next day to try to incorporate some moves into his game.
"I definitely know I've made strides," said Hill. "I would be hard pressed to believe everyone around me doesn't see that I've greatly improved my shooting. I can still play great defense. I need to keep cutting down on my turnovers, but I think my decision making it greatly improved from last year. All these things are on the up and up. It's only up for me."
Paris said the Badgers didn't entertain the notion of removing Hill's redshirt following Jackson's Jan.11 foot injury, saying the Badgers wanted to keep his year intact for 2015-16 when the staff has to permanently replace the minutes vacated by Gasser and Jackson. Showing in practice he can be a combo guard, Paris is confident Hill can compete for rotation minutes.
"He comes every single day and competes hard," said Paris. "He tries to make guys better and beat the other guys. Instead of being disappointed about it or taking on the role as a mundane thing you have to do, he competes at it and tries to get better."
Finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Hill expects to have an even bigger grip on the trophies he hopes to hoist in the future.
"I've never had any doubt in my mind and there never will be any doubt in my mind," said Hill. "I am going to achieve some really big things. Whether people believe me or not, I am not really worried about what people say. I know my ability. I trust it. I trust my work ethic and the time I've put in will show off when it come game time next year. I know it's a long ways away right now, but I know it'll go by fast."

An automobile recycler in Rouge Park won't have to remove soil from its property from which fuel was discovered leaking into the adjacent Rouge River creek in November of 2010.

Ontario's environment ministry chose to leave the soil in place "since the materials will biodegrade over time" and because the recycler, Standard Auto Wreckers, is now required to contain and remove stormwater from the Scarborough property and to stop runoff to the creek, said Kate Jordan, a ministry spokesperson.

It was also thought removing the soil would damage the creek and its floodplain, Jordan added.

The province's Environmental Review Tribunal last June found "motor vehicle fluids" seeping into the creek, a tributary of the Little Rouge River, appeared to come from a structure in which Standard Auto removed parts from vehicles.

The ministry agreed to change a clean-up order issued after the spill so "the question whether there has been a breach (of the law) would not arise."

Parent company Goldy Metals agreed to remove the structure as well as to "risk management measures" to prevent another accident and "delineation and remediation of the petroleum spill" on and off the property.

Jordan said an ecological risk assessment found hydrocarbons in a small area near the creek. The ministry finished reviewing the assessment late last year and sent its conclusions to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, interim manager of the park, which supports them, she said.

The ministry will continue to monitor Standard Auto's operations and will meet company executives in the coming weeks to discuss next steps, Jordan said. "Our priority is that the company's operations do not impact the environment and any potential impacts are addressed and studied."

Before it was disbanded last year, the Rouge Alliance, a co-operative of agencies and governments which ran the park, had called on the province to talk to Standard Auto about purchasing the property south of Steeles Avenue at Sewells Road and relocating the business.

Marriage and Family: Two Presents every woman would want for Christmas (and men, it won't cost you a dime!)December 24, 2013
Well, with Christmas Eve right upon us and the shopping hopefully done, I thought I would give some last minute advice to the men (and anyone for that matter) out there hoping to make this Christmas one of the very best for the woman in their life. In fact, this advice is not just good for Christmas, it is good year-round. But since it is Christmas and since Christmas can be very hectic, here are two sure fire presents every woman would want for Christmas...and the good news men, they won't cost you a dime!
Let me set the table first on how I came to discover these two gifts. I started thinking one day about all that Jena does around the Christmas season. First, Jena does ALL of the Christmas shopping. She is a "giver" at heart and so this is really in her wheel house. Oh, I'll throw in some thoughts here and there and she always ask me what I think, but the truth of the matter is, she handles it all. All the shopping and all the wrapping. She is more than happy to handle both because as I said, she loves to buy for others and well, she's seen how I wrap presents. It's not a pretty sight. She also decorates like crazy! Table decorations, mantle decorations, tree decorations, you name it! My job is the boxes out of the attic and the lights outside. UGGGH...the lights outside - that's enough to make a man lose his mind sometimes! Then as Christmas approaches it's preparation for parties, family, friends...the point is Christmas can be very hectic. The more I thought about it...the more I discovered these two gifts that my wife and I'm willing to bet, most women would love to get for Christmas...especially on Christmas day and the week(s) that follows.
The first gift is "help without being asked to help!" This can be a challenge for us men. I'm the first one to slide to the couch once my belly is full or check out after a long day. In the early days of our marriage, this would leave Jena in a quandry...she would think...if I have to ask him to help me...then he's doing it because he has to...not because he wants too...OR....if she asked for help....is she being selfish and needy....this is why a great gift to give your woman is to keep your ears open and your eyes peeled for ways to help your woman without being asked...if you don't know what to do, then ask her how you can help before she asks you! Believe me, she'll love it and you when you do this.
The second gift is "equal me-time". I know a lot of marriages and a lot of men that take the Christmas season to unwind and do some of the fun stuff they love to do...there is nothing wrong with this...I'm sure they work hard and deserve some time to relax and have some fun...but so does the woman in your life...they work hard and deserve some time to relax and have some fun as well. This is why "equal me-time" is a great gift to give them. When a man recognizes the needs of his woman to have some down time, away from the kids, away from the laundry, away from the kitchen and her endless "to do" list and then gives her this time...she will love it and him for giving it to her. Men, you have no idea how refreshing it is for a woman to be cared for simply by giving them a cup of coffee and 30 minutes to an hour of uninterupted solitude. You have no idea what it does to a woman's soul for you to take the lead, get the baby-sitter and take her out on the town. You don't have to spend a lot of money, or create the greatest date night ever...just give her some equal "me-time"
The point is all great relationships have the intangible value of give and take, of serve and be served, of sacrifice and self-lessness. Give these gifts to your relationships and I believe you will have a great Christmas...and....by the way, make sure you do so in 2014...after all, great marriages, families, friendships and relationships need these kinds of gifts all year long!
I'd love for you to join the conversation - here's a couple of questions I'd love to hear your thoughts on....
1. what is the best relational present anyone could give you that doesn't cost a dime?
2. How would these two gifts: "help without being asked to help" and "equal me-time" strengthen your marriage, your family, your friendships? (has anyone ever given you these presents...if so, how did it make you feel?)

I am so blessed to have a husband that does these two things and more! I am going to share this on facebook because women rarely ask for these things, but it is so needed! If I mention to my husband, John, that I have committed to make something for work, or for a dinner, he automatically jumps in and wants to know how he can help. He stayed in the kitchen with me after dinner until things were back in order. We both work, we both rest. I couldn't ask for more....
Dale and Jena On Friday, December 12 at 12:22 PM
Crystal…thanks for your comments and recognizing this in your husband…this is one of the greatest gifts we can give our spouses..the recognition and appreciation for what they do…when both do this…the marriage thrives dale

The Vasectomist
Saturday, July 25, 2015 at 7 PM ET on CBC News Network Sunday, July 26, 2015 at 8 PM ET on
The Vasectomist follows an eccentric doctor as he travels the world on a mission to get men to talk about their sex lives, and help solve the world's population problems one snip at a time. Dr. Doug Stein is a modern-day crusader, well known in Florida for his billlboards that loom across interstate highways promoting low-cost, scalpel-free vasectomies.
Now, working with an Emmy award-winning director, he's launched the first ever World Vasectomy Day on October 18th – one day before the documentary premieres on The Passionate Eye. On World Vasectomy Day, Dr. Stein will be operating all day long in front of a live audience in Australia with live streaming so the rest of the world can watch. Meanwhile, more than 100 doctors in 17 countries, including Canada, will be simultaneously performing vasectomies and reporting in via Skype. The goal is to sign up 1,000 male volunteers willing to "put their balls on the line to help the planet."
"In my opinion, vasectomy is the single best option for sexually active heterosexual men whose families are complete," Dr. Stein says.
In The Vasectomist, Dr. Stein is trying to build a global movement to reduce overpopulation by getting men to take more responsibility for their sex lives and family planning. All told, he has performed close to 30,000 vasectomies in the US, Asia, Africa and the Carribbean.
The film follows Dr. Stein as he traverses Florida and talks to men about why they've chosen to "exit the gene pool". Then it travels with him to remote regions of the Philippines and Haiti – where his message is not always welcomed. Dr. Stein confronts political and religious groups who believe any form of family planning is morally wrong. And he encounters many men (and even some women) who believe that birth control is a "women's issue" and that vasectomies compromise virility.
The film is a journey through these difficult and divisive issues, crossing cultural, religious and political taboos with both humour and gravitas. Through Dr. Stein's many personal encounters with men, the film provokes a new conversation about public issues like overpopulation, over-consumption and the planet's environmental tipping point.
Directed by Jonathan Stack, a multiple Emmy Award-winning and two-time Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker. He is also a father of three who became Dr. Stein's client number 25,075.

Look at these gorgeous and oh-so-professional looking futball players! We received such wonderful new uniforms as a gift from friends in the US.
Let's see if I can explain this properly: My friend Dot has a great-niece, Alyssa, who is on a girls' soccer team. Her niece, Lisa, is the coach. Alyssa won a grant for $250.00 from a professional soccer player. They decided to collect uniforms and balls for my boys and use the money to pay the postage to send them to us. In addition, the Ladies Sarah Circle of the United Methodist Church, Waretown, paid for postage that was over and above.
Lisa and Alyssa contacted a uniform company called "Jako" who let them pick from tons of brand new uniforms! They sent us FIVE boxes!!! Mostly uniforms, several balls and pumps as well. I think the thing they liked the best are the goalie pants!!
There were lots of different sizes in the boxes so we will be able to bless other dorms and even perhaps some of the older youth teams that we play with in the community!
Thank you so much Alyssa, Lisa, Dot, and the Ladies Sarah Circle, as well as Jako and the foundation which gave Alyssa the grant, for having a heart to bless my boys this way. They really feel so special when they put these uniforms on!
Angelo celebrating a goal!

Below are the churches planted out of Bethlehem since 2003 as part of our Treasuring Christ Together strategy. Beginning after the Cities Church plant, Bethlehem's ongoing strategy for church plants is a part of our Fill These Cities 25 x '25 vision. [See a comprehensive list of Bethlehem church plants since our beginning in 1871.]
Cities Church began building Community Groups in Fall 2014 and now meets weekly for worship at Minnehaha Academy North. The mission of Cities Church is to make disciples of all nations.
City of Joy Fellowship has been commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the gospel and make disciples for the glory of God and the joy of the city of East St. Louis, Illinois, the St. Louis Metro area, and the world.
The Heights Church was renamed from Hayden Heights Baptist Church after going through a "restart" that began in 2011 with Bethlehem Baptist Church. Hayden Heights had been in existence for 89 years at the time their congregation agreed to work with church planter Weyland Leach, who was installed as pastor in July 2013.
New City of Nations Church exists to advance the reign of Christ among all peoples, through a redeemed community of all peoples. NCNC is a missional, multi-ethnic, and multiplying church, launched in September 2012. Today they meet in the old Knox Church, 1536 W. Minnehaha Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55104 (one block South of Hamline University).
Redemption City Church was approved by Bethlehem Baptist Church as a TCT Church Plant in July 2011 to plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They officially launched in September 2012.
Christ Redeemer Church began working to advance the kingdom of God on the east side of the Twin Cities when they began meeting in Woodbury in September 2010.
Urban Harvest Fellowship started to bring the power and presence of God, in the gospel of Jesus Christ, to bear upon one of the darkest areas of North Little Rock, Arkansas, in May 2010.
Jubilee Community Church was commissioned in January 2010 to see the gospel spread through the diverse Phillips and Powderhorn neighborhoods of South Minneapolis. Jubilee is meeting at the 16/33 Center.
Kaleo Church began working toward establishment with missional communities in January 2009 in the urban area of San Diego, California.
Glory of Christ Fellowship opened its doors in Fall 2007 in Elk River, Minnesota. Their vision is to be enthralled with the glory of God and to proclaim the excellencies of God among the nations through Jesus Christ.
Grace Community Church began having weekly services in November 2006 in urban Memphis, Tennessee. Their desire is to not only act as followers of Christ, but to be followers of Christ.
All Nations Christian Fellowship was planted in 2006 in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as a gospel-centered church with particular emphasis on intentionally living out the gospel reality of racial harmony.
Treasuring Christ Church exists to spread among all peoples a joyful love for Jesus Christ in all things for the glory of God. The church was planted in 2005 in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.
Desiring God Community Church was planted in 2003 and seeks to be a church that builds joyful community from the many people groups God has brought to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Can You Recommend a Church in My Area?
Here are several church-locator links that may be of help to you. (Even though we value and respect these ministries and their networks, a church's inclusion in any of these networks should not be viewed as an endorsement by Bethlehem Baptist Church.)
- 9Marks church search tool
- The Gospel Coalition
- Sovereign Grace churches
- Founders-friendly churches
- Acts 29 network of churches

Description: Seinfeld,Friends,Frasier,ER,Cheers,Law & Order,Will & Grace…Here is the funny, splashy, irresistible insiders' account of the greatest era in television history -- told by the actors, writers, directors, producers, and the network executives who made it happen…and watched it all fall apart.Warren Littlefield was the NBC President of Entertainment who oversaw the Peacock Network's rise from also-ran to a division that generated a billion dollars in profits. In this fast-paced and exceptionally entertaining oral history, Littlefield and NBC luminaries including Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Julianna Marguiles, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wylie, Debra Messing, Jack Welch, Jimmy Burrows, Helen Hunt, and Dick Wolf vividly recapture the incredible era of Must See TV.From 1993 through 1998, NBC exploded every conventional notion of what a broadcast network could accomplish with the greatest prime-time line-up in television history. On Thursday nights, a cavalcade of groundbreaking comedies and dramas streamed into homes, attracting a staggering 75 million viewers and generating more revenue than all other six nights of programming combined. The road to success, however, was a rocky one. How do you turn a show likeSeinfeld, one of the lowest testing pilots of all time, into a hit when the network overlords are constantly warring, or worse, drowning in a bottle of vodka? Top of the Rockis an addictively readable account of the risky business decisions, creative passion, and leaps of faith that made Must See TV possible. Chock full of delicious behind-the-scenes anecdotes that run the gamut from hilarious casting and programming ploys to petty jealousies and drug interventions, you're in for a juicy, unputdownable read.

Marathon Ashland Petroleum Adds President
Gary Heminger succeeds John Surma as head of the joint venture.
Gary R. Heminger has been tabbed as president of Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC (MAP), said Thomas Usher, chairman and CEO of USX Marathon Group said yesterday. He will succeed John Surma Jr., who was named assistant to the USX chairman. Both moves are effective Sept. 1.
Usher credited Surma, who had been president of MAP's retail arm before being named MAP president in 2000, with providing invaluable service to the creation and operation of MAP throughout the company's first three years.
"And, in Gary Heminger," Usher said, "we have another executive whose breadth of experience and considerable leadership skills will chart MAP's success in the years ahead." Heminger's progression within MAP and Marathon Oil Co. made him a natural choice for the position, he added.
Heminger, a 26-year veteran with Marathon Oil, also is a member of the American Petroleum Institute (API) and a former board member and chairman of the Owners Committee for the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port LLC.
MAP, owned 62 percent by Marathon Oil Company and 38 percent by Ashland Inc., is the nation's fifth largest refiner with 935,000 barrels-per-day capacity in its seven-refinery system. The company maintains a retail marketing network of approximately 5,400 convenience stores in 21 states.

My soul mate passed away from pancreatic cancer in Nov. 09. Just one month before our 26th anniv. He was such a strong and fearless man. He made me promise that I would not put "he lost his battle with cancer" in his obit. because he said it wasn't a battle because even with treatment he didn't have a chance at winning. Even though it has been 1 year and 9 months, the pain and grief has not lessened, and if anything, I miss him more and more. I have "trained" my tears to flow before and after work, and on weekends, just as my brother told me I would. (he lost his wife to cancer 3 years earlier)People think I am moving on, but they don't have a clue. You don't just move on when you lose your soul mate. We raised 3 kids and were just starting to enjoy the empty nest. He worked so hard all of his life, and had one more year to go to get our youngest out of college. I no longer believe in putting away for retirement... He was so strong during his illness. He admitted that he cried many times early in the morning before I got up and that he was scared, but he told me I would be able to make it when he was gone. I knew it was going to be hard, but I had no idea the pain could be so great without my heart just bursting. I truly feel like I got the short end of the stick. I would trade places with him in a heartbeat. Some of my closest friends mean and meant well when they tried to comfort me with stupid words, and in that area I have gotten stronger. People saying hurtful words without meaning to no longer drop me to my knees. When they say they know how I feel because they have been "divorced", or they know how I feel because their dog just died so their house is quiet also when they come home from work don't have a clue. But I don't want them to understand the pain because it means they have to also lose a spouse and I wouldn't wish the pain on a worst enemy. Since our kids are all on their own, they still don't understand the nightmare of their dad's illness. He always tried to be strong when they were around, and since they weren't here on the day to day of treatments, sickness, and all the strange things cancer does to a body, they don't even have a clue to the hell my mind goes through reliving his illness. Since I was such a strong person as they were growing up, they don't understand that my strength came from having the love and support of their father. We were of one mind and one heart. And that I am broken without him. He was only unresponsive for the very last day, but when he was taking his last breath, he did open his eyes and look me straight in mine, so I know he was aware he was leaving me. It is hard also because I feel selfish. I had a soul mate for 26 years and know so many people who never find that love, so I am grateful but at the same time wish we had longer. I love you CES today as much as I ever have. Just because you were taken from me doesn't lessen that love.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
her reason for moving is school...however i have written proof via an online forum that she plans to do so out of spite and to get away from me...would this help me in court? also how many offenses of her keeping my son from me on scheduled visits does it take to have a custodial interference charge looked at seriously? it is an ongoing problem. thank you
If you have court ordered residential time with your son, te mother is obligates to give you formal notice of her intent to relocate, which triggers your right to object to the move. If you believe thatshe is not going to give you formal notice, you are legally permitted to file your objection to her relocation and seek restraints against the relocation even though she hasn't made a formal notice.
Once that process is underway, the court is directed to consider a number of factors in deciding whether or not to permit the move. Check out my avvo guide on opposing a relocation for some information on the factors, the process and strategic considerations. Some of the factors may be Impacted by information that indicates that her motivation for moving is perhaps improper or that she is acting in bad faith in proposing to relocate.
As far as custodial interference is concerned, there would generally need to be an extended denial of contact or an effort to hide the child before criminal charges would be considered. However it sounds like you may have grounds for contempt, and if her actions are having the effect of significantly interfering with your court ordered residential time, you should consult with an experienced local attorney about bringing a contempt action.Ask a similar question
The prior attorney has provided some good information. You may go to RCW 26.09.520 to review the factors that the court is to review on a request to relocate. It is important to review the statutes (RCW 26.09.405-915) to understand the rekocation process.
The other parent may be in contempt of court for not aloowing the children to be with you on your PP time. Two contempt orders in a 3 year period of time may justify the court in modifying the custodial arrangements (RCW 26.09.260(2)(d)).
I would suggest that you contact a family law attorney and get a 30 minute free consultation. You may contact my office and I will be happy to discuss the issue with you right away.

Glycemic Targets and Approaches to Management of the Patient with Critical Illness

Hyperglycemia during critical illness is associated with adverse outcome. The proof-of-concept Leuven studies assessed causality, and revealed that targeting strict normoglycemia (80–110 mg/dL) with insulin improved outcome compared with tolerating hyperglycemia to the renal threshold (215 mg/dL). A large multicenter trial (NICE-SUGAR [Normoglycaemia in Intensive Care Evaluation and Survival Using Glucose Algorithm Regulation]) found an intermediate blood glucose target (140–180 mg/dL) safer than targeting normoglycemia. Differences in design and in execution of glycemic control at the bedside may have contributed to these results. In NICE-SUGAR (Normoglycaemia in Intensive Care Evaluation and Survival Using Glucose Algorithm Regulation), the blood-glucose target range in the control group was lower, there were problems to reach and maintain normoglycemia in the intervention group, and inaccurate handheld blood glucose meters and variable blood sampling sites were allowed. Inaccurate tools led to insulin-dosing errors with consequently (undetected) hypoglycemia and unacceptable blood glucose variability. Also, the studies were done superimposed upon different nutritional strategies. Thus, such differences do not allow simple, evidence-based recommendations for daily practice, but an intermediate blood glucose target may be preferable while awaiting better tools to facilitate safely reaching normoglycemia.

In the mirror universe, Merdan was a Cardassian gul in the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. In 2295, he commanded a fleet that attempted to subjugate the Andorians as part of the conquest of the Terran Republic. The Andorians resisted subjugation, and Merdan's fleet had to obliterate most of the planet. (TOS novel: The Sorrows of Empire)
- It is unknown whether or not Merdan has a counterpart in the primary universe.
