'The best thing about having a child is I have the extra strength because I want to see her grow up and I have to be strong for her,' Bernie Nolan says.
Irish singer/actress Bernie Nolan has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The 49 year old, most famous for being part of all-sister band The Nolans, was told by doctors last week that she is facing a tough battle with the disease, and will mostly likely have to have a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
But the singer, who has also starred in British soaps "Brookside and the Bill", is adamant she will fully recover for the sake of her daughter. She tells Britain's News of the World, "I'm going to kick this cancer's a**. The best thing about having a child is I have the extra strength because I want to see her grow up and I have to be strong for her."
And Nolan insists she isn't fazed by the prospect of losing her breasts or hair due to the savage cancer treatment. She adds, "I'm fighting this. I'm going to kick its a**. Take one breast, take them both, I don't care. I'm strong and I'm not going to let this defeat me."
"I'm going to lose my hair - they've told me that because of the strength of the chemo they have to give me... but I don't care, I'll wear a wig." Nolan's sisters Linda and Anne, who were her co-singers in the group, have both won battles with breast cancer in the last decade.

Attention sought for state's unpaved roads
Janice Held tries to avoid driving on the unpaved lower end of Manor Drive in Armstrong County's Manor Township.
"It has ruts that you have to straddle," said Held, 65, who lives on the paved portion of Manor Drive.
The unpaved section, near Nunamaker Hill Road, is one of 14,400 sites across Pennsylvania where dirt and gravel roads are in such poor shape that they threaten nearby streams and vehicles using the roads, according to the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts.
For 16 years, the state has doled out $5 million annually to combat the problem. The money improved conditions at about 2,400 sites, the association said.
State leaders hope to pass legislation on Sunday to provide an additional $2 billion a year or more for transportation needs across the state. The multibillion-dollar debate in Harrisburg over transportation funding has focused largely on urban highways, bridges and transit systems. A proposed sevenfold increase in funding for the state's dirt and gravel road maintenance program, to $35 million annually, has gained little attention.
Yet work on dirt and gravel roads is critically important, said Robert B. Maiden, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts.
"Sediment pollution from dirt and gravel roads is a major problem. It kills stream or water quality, kills aquatic life and drives up costs for wastewater treatment plants," Maiden said.
Road washouts that result in closures can lead to lengthy detours. Such detours and poor road conditions can harm rural businesses, including farms, Maiden said.
"It's a quality-of-life issue," Maiden said.
Maiden said funding covers work on about 200 sites a year. County conservation districts distribute money to municipalities for work ranging from drainage improvements to road repairs.
Gregg Smith, the Armstrong County Conservation District's dirt and gravel road specialist, said, "Because the funding is so limited, municipalities can only do a small amount of work at a time. Work is usually done in phases over multiple years."
The Armstrong County district is spending a combined $142,000 on 14 projects this year. All focus on drainage improvements that will divert stormwater from unpaved roads to prevent runoff from further eroding roads and carrying sediment from them into nearby streams. Road improvements would be done in future years, Smith said.
Road work can eat up money quickly. David R. Rupert, the Armstrong County Conservation District's manager, said it costs an average of $80,000 to surface one mile of unpaved road with aggregate materials — more than half of the grant money his district received this year from the state.
In Washington County, workers completed drainage work and road repairs last year on Oakleaf Road in Hopewell.
"It was barely passable with a Jeep and sediment from the road drained right into the backwaters of a county park that led to a nice fishing lake. It contributed tons and tons of sediment into that over the years," said Matt Golden, Washington County Conservation District's erosion control technician.
Since 1997, Washington County municipalities have completed work along 26 miles of unpaved roads, but potential work is needed along another 100 miles, Golden said. Two projects totaling $89,000 are being done this year in West Pike Run and West Bethlehem townships.
Armstrong County gets more state funding because it has more unpaved roads.
Rupert said the district has a $450,000 backlog of projects that are waiting for funding.
"The increased funding could allow us to eliminate that backlog, but it definitely would not solve all of our problems," Rupert said.

Equipping the Equippers
The John Owen Centre, part of the work of London Seminary, aims to help pastors to keep studying and growing theologically in the midst of ministry.
Pastors often lament how hard it is to do this. For many, every moment of study is consumed by the next sermon, and sometimes even that is squeezed by a pastoral crisis. The biblical languages rust. The excited freshness provided by initial training fades. For some, that training never happened. Rather than ministering from a maturing theological hinterland, many feel that they are in danger of running on empty.
We offer study that is serious and unembarrassed about being stretching, but our aim is not study as an end in itself. We believe that ongoing study should enrich the ministry of pastors among their people, thereby glorifying the Lord Jesus through the maturing of his church.
To this end, we offer a range of activities with varying levels of demand: Study Days in biblical languages, biblical studies, and doctrine; extended Study Projects; an annual Conference; the ThM degree from Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia) in historical theology.

Auto parts makers guilty
WASHINGTON — Nine Japanese auto parts manufacturers and two of their executives will plead guilty and pay $740 million in criminal fines for conspiring to fix the prices of more than 30 products sold to many of the world's largest automakers operating in the United States, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.
The action is the latest development in the largest criminal investigation the Justice Department's criminal division has carried out. To date, it has resulted in charges against 20 companies and 21 executives, and the companies have agreed to pay $1.6 billion in criminal fines.
From steering assemblies to seat belts, the price-fixing conspiracies went on for more than a decade and affected more than $5 billion in auto parts sold to American car manufacturers and installed in cars sold in the United States and elsewhere. In all, more than 25 million cars purchased by American consumers have been affected by the illegal conduct.
"As a result of these conspiracies, Americans paid more for their cars," Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference. American companies such as Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. were affected, as were U.S. subsidiaries of Honda Motor Co., Mazda Motor Corp., Mitsubishi, Nissan Motor Co., Subaru and Toyota Motor Corp.
The government will continue to "check every hood and kick every tire" to end the price fixing, Holder said.
Company executives used code names and met face to face in remote locations in the United Sates and Japan to rig bids, fix prices and allocate the supply of auto parts, the government alleged.
Seventeen of the 21 executives charged so far have been sentenced to serve prison terms or have plea agreements calling for significant time behind bars.
The companies charged on Thursday are Hitachi Automotive Systems, Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsuba, Jtekt, NSK, T.RAD, Valeo Japan and Yamashita Rubber.

A Dogged Buyer Of Bedraggled Pier 1
From bad to worse. That's how Pier 1 Imports (PIR ) has fared, with its stock dropping from 25 in early 2004 to 13.87 on Aug. 10. Poor sales and disappointing profits have bedeviled North America's largest retailer of imported home furnishings.The Street has turned cold, but Mark Boyar of Boyar Asset Management is buying -- again. This is his third time: In 1991 he bought at 2 and sold in 1997 after shares jumped to 9, when growth investors moved in. The stock leaped to 20 by March, 1998. Soon after, sales dropped, and by October it had plunged to 9. Enter Boyar. He sold in early 2002, when the stock hit 20. It rose as high as 24. Pier 1, which runs 1,100 stores in North America, is selling at 1.5 times book value -- "a steal," says Boyar. As a result, he isn't ruling out a takeover by a large retailer. "Pier 1 is now a much more valuable business -- and is taking steps to turn itself around," he says. It cut prices, reduced inventory by 15%, and is on a marketing blitz, says Boyar, who sees the stock at 30 in five years, based on cash flow of $2.50 to $3 a share. Zacks Investment Research's consensus estimates are 35 cents a share for 2006, ended Feb. 28, and 63 cents in 2007, vs. 68 cents in 2005. Pier 1 was discussed in this column on Mar. 21, at 18. Pier 1 declined comment.

Artist Talk by Rebecca Gouldson. Saturday 29 March 2014, 2-3pm, Free
Solo show; 'Industrial Shift' by Bristol based Metalsmith Rebecca Gouldson explores the heritage of our historic industries through Art. The exhibition 'Industrial Shift' sees Rebecca take a multidisciplinary approach to the themes, images and objects of historic industry, highlighting the beauty of the often overlooked relics of these industries such as tools, machinery, and industrial architecture, now left abandoned, without their original functional purpose. Using etching techniques more traditionally associated with printmaking, Rebecca makes metal wall pieces and sculptures. The rich metallic surfaces are adorned with etched images derived from photographs, drawings, and found material relating to the exhibition theme.

RFID For Livestock and Poultry management Solutions
This growing number of countries exporting animals to other countries has led to the establishment of record keeping standards that use RFID as the main identification.
|While some countries have not yet adopted the ISO (International Standards Organization) 11784, 11785 and 14223-1 for animal tracking, countries such as Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe and others have. As a direct result of this adoption any country wishing to export animals to these countries must have proper tracking and tracing records which mandate the use of RFID.
Using a unique numbered RFID tag provides a very efficient method of identifying animals and collecting data far more quickly. Each unique RFID tag can be linked to a database that includes that animal's specific information such as date of birth, inoculations, breeding specifics such as blood relation, and more.
For livestock and other large animals we recommend our external FDX-B Ear Tag which provides read rates that are twice as fast as the HDXS tags. These cost effective external Ear Tags can be read by either our Compact Flash HDX-B reader that is easily inserted into any portable computer or PDA that has a compact flash slot. While this is a very useful reader for occasional reading our HDX-B paddle or HDX-B wand readers are hardier and provide additional features and functions that are not available on the CF HDX-B reader.
The Ear Tags require the Ear Tag Tagger to correctly pierce and insert the Ear Tags.
For smaller animals we recommend the bio-glass injectable tag. This injectable tag is available in both 125 kHz. and 134.2 kHz frequencies.
To learn more on how DOOWA RFID can help you manage your animals for greater profit and less risk; please contact us at email@example.com.

Unlike many indie starlets who come to the screen after a few stints in life's darker corners, 18-year-old Jennifer Lawrence has never hit rock bottom. In fact, she's getting a pedicure during the course of this interview. Lawrence's unfamiliarity with hard reality makes her breakout performance in the upcoming drama The Poker House all the more remarkable. In the bleak story based on the life of actress Lori Petty (the film's first-time director), Lawrence plays a teen who must fend for her younger sisters, while her drugged-out mom operates a narcotics and gambling den out of their house. "The character is the exact opposite of me," says Lawrence. "But everyone should stretch themselves." So stretch the Kentucky native did. It wasn't the only time Lawrence put herself in the shoes of the tough and the twisted. In the forthcoming drama The Burning Plain, she plays a girl who falls into a dark romance after her mother is caught cheating. It's a few universes away from her role on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show. Yet Lawrence doesn't want the masochism to end. "I want to play a character I've never been before-a crazy serial killer like Charlize Theron in Monster. I'd love to have to shave my head."

Nic Cage Drives Angry In The Rage Trailer
His daughter's been taken. What's an ex-criminal to do?
Nicolas Cage? Nicolas RAGE, right? Eh? Anyone? Fine… The new trailer for the distinctly Taken-esque Rage has arrived online, featuring The Cage as a man on a desperate mission.
Rage, which was once called Tokarev, finds Cage in pulpy thriller mode as Paul Maguire, a former criminal who is trying to put that life behind him and stay on the straight and narrow. But his daughter Caitlin (Aubrey Peeples) is swiped from home and Paul must track down the people responsible.
So far, so Bryan Mills, but the twist comes with Paul's dodgy past, which means that there are any number of suspects who could have snatched his daughter, and that the police, including Danny Glover's detective, are keeping an eye on our hero to make sure he doesn't break the law. So how is he to save Caitlin?
The likes of Peter Stomare, Rachel Nichols, Max Ryan and Elena Sanchez also populate the cast for this one, which has yet to secure a solid release date here or in the States.

UFC released German fighter, Benjamin Brinsa, before he ever got to fight in the organization. The cut comes after it was revealed in July that Brinsa had ties to Neo-Nazi groups in Germany.
By Christopher Murphy @MurphMMA
The UFC has cut German welterweight, Benjamin Brinsa, MMA Fighting confirmed with UFC officials on Wednesday.
In July, it was revealed that Brinsa had affiliations with Neo-Nazi groups in Germany. Through Brinsa denied these claims publicly, the UFC said they would investigate the allegations. It seems that the investigation is complete as Brinsa was released before ever fighting in the Octagon.
Brinsa holds an undefeated 13-0 record, and he will most likely look to continue fighting on local cards.
Neither Brinsa nor the UFC have released official statements regarding the release.Tags: Benjamin Brinsa, mma, MMA NEWS, ufc, ufc news

New Twentieth-Century Religious Biography
I should be grading; I should be wading through essays on how "radical" was radical Reconstruction, on how my students would teach the Civil War, and on the historiography of the Emancipation Proclamation. But I just cannot help myself; when not playing Wii tennis, I have been reading the many good books in American religious history coming out left and right. So I decided to gratify my mind. Instead of term papers, I read John Turner's Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ and Cynthia Taylor's A. Philip Randolph: The Religious Journey of an African American Labor Leader. Thank goodness for such pleasures.
I could be wrong, but my guess is that Bill Bright and A. Philip Randolph never met. Both were from the South (Bright from Oklahoma and Randolph from Florida); both founded and led crucial twentieth-century movements (Bright founded Campus Crusade for Christ and Randolph founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and was the driving force behind the first plans for a national March on Washington). Both have relatively new religious biographies with John Turner's Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ and Cynthia Taylor's A. Philip Randolph: The Religious Journey of an African American Labor Leader. Bright and Randolph's differences probably outweigh their similarities. Bright was white and politically conservative; Randolph was black and politically on the left. If they had met, what would they have said to one another? Would Bright have tried to impress his four spiritual laws on Randolph? Would Bright have asked if Randolph had accepted Jesus Christ as his lord and savior? Would Randolph have asked Bright why his organization was largely segregated or why Campus Crusade had nothing to say about racial violence or discrimination? We can imagine that Randolph would have confronted Bright's questions before, that Randolph himself had wondered about the state of his soul, and that he had these conversations with African American Christians and church leaders. We can also imagine that if Bright would actually have listened to Randolph, Bright might have been spiritually troubled. He may have wondered why he and his organization opposed certain forms of "spiritual evil," such as abortion or Communism, but had little to say about other forms. Probably, he would have brushed aside the questions, said that this is an imperfect world and that when Jesus returns (which would be soon, Mr. Randolph, and you should think upon these things) all would be set straight. This is the power of good religious biography – that after reading them we can imagine the characters interacting.
John Turner's Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ fills a huge void in the scholarship of twentieth-century evangelicalism. Anyone who has participated in evangelical America knows the power of parachurch organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ. Perhaps one attended a Bible study in one's dorm. Perhaps one felt a compulsion to choose between Campus Crusade and its main rival Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (and one did not even know why there was a compulsion to select one or the other). Perhaps one has received the seemingly unlimited mailings of requests for prayer and for money (in the spirit of uncoverage here, let me say that my prayers go to these religious ministries and my donation money goes to the NAACP). Groups like Campus Crusade are crucial to the shape, form, and continuation of evangelicalism, and we have Professor Turner for this new biography and institutional history. Turner focuses on three facets of Campus Crusade: (1) its founder Bill Bright, a man who at one time sold candy who then created an international power that carried the message of evangelicalism to college campuses as "secular" as UC Berkeley, Harvard, and the University of Michigan; (2) the relationship between evangelicalism and conservative politics in the twentieth century; and (3) Crusade's relationship with gender roles within evangelicalism and the broader nation.
Turner is at his best when analyzing the similarities and differences between Crusade's tactics and those of the New Left. Both spoke for a discontent among college-aged white Americans in the mid and late 1960s; both offered new approaches to the old ways. Moreover, Turner does a nice job using the language of the religious marketplace to investigate Bright's labor.
Hopefully, Turner's study is merely the beginning of significant analysis of Crusade in American society and culture. Future scholars could examine the place of the Civil Rights movement in their organization. As I read Turner's work on Crusade, Bill Bright and his legions seem unaware that the nation was being rocked by the moral, economic, cultural, and social critique of civil rights activists. They seem deaf or blind to the religious critique of the United States made by Martin Luther King, Jr., James Forman, W. E. B. Du Bois, Ella Baker, or Fannie Lou Hamer. Perhaps Turner's subjects never spoke about the Civil Rights movement; perhaps they did not care what was happening in schools, at lunch tables, or in black churches. Perhaps they didn't care that white supremacists were bombing African American churches. If they did not, then this is a moral and historical problem. What can we make of their absence? It is possible that their focus on the four spiritual laws, or their struggles with the New Left, enabled Crusade members to avoid the politics of the black freedom struggle? Is it possible that they have more in common with nineteenth-century evangelist Dwight Moody than they ever realized – that just as he led a national revival in 1876 and 1877 that minimized political issues in a moment when the politics of civil rights were paramount in "this world," Campus Crusade's focus on saving souls facilitated the continued damning of the souls of black folk? Perhaps someone will follow Turner and take up this challenge.
A. Philip Randolph, I would imagine, would not only want a racial critique of Campus Crusade, but also an economic one. For Randolph, Bright would have been one of the minions of economic, racial, and religious discrimination. Cynthia Taylor's A. Philip Randolph: The Religious Journey of an African American Leader follows the spiritual and religious insights of Randolph through his long career of labor and civil rights activism. Unlike Turner, Taylor has to contend with a scholarly tradition that claims that Randolph was an agnostic and hence uninterested in religion. For some reason, there is a penchant among some American historians to revel in the lack of faith in historical characters and then pay no regard for religion in their lives. It is much easier to say that faith did not matter to an individual and then pay it no heed. I never find this confusing from my historian colleagues; I always find it surprising when I hear it from religious historians (and, interestingly enough, I hear religious historians oftentimes claiming that "religion" really wasn't important to an individual or a movement). Taylor doesn't really care what Randolph believed; instead, she places him in a variety of religious contexts, including African American church life, the spiritual contents of American socialisms, the fundamentalist-modernist debates, and the origins of black liberation theology.
Taylor's study shows how Randolph always carried with him the African Methodism of his youth. His father was both a minister and a tailor. Randolph imbibed the notion that God was on the side of African Americans and the working class. He took these lessons with him to New York in the early twentieth century as part of the "Great Migration." In Harlem, Randolph co-edited The Messenger, one of the many new African Americans magazines and newspapers of the era. Within The Messenger, writers chastised ministers who failed to support organized labor; they applauded the clerics who did; and they attacked fundamentalism as backward, unscientific, and close minded. These were progressive black Christians, interested more in heaven on earth than heaven in heaven.
In 1925, Randolph transformed The Messenger into the organ for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. He conceived of the trade union as a spiritual community, one which God would bless and use to transform American politics. Then in the early 1940s, Randolph led the charge for a March on Washington. Interestingly, one could compare the language of the "march" on Washington with the language of campus "crusade" for Christ, but I'll leave that to another, more able interpreter. In preparation for the March, Randolph coordinated a series of prayer protests that prefigured the civil disobedience of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Finally, Taylor ends her study with Randolph's embrace of King's leadership and his return to the AME church.
It should be impossible to describe Randolph as merely an agnostic and then disregard his religious insights after Taylor's book. It will happen; there will be studies that mention Randolph as an agnostic or discuss the irreligiosity of American labor movement (and cite Randolph as an example), but that will be because of a failure to read Taylor's fine work.
I wish that Randolph had met Bright and that Bright would have heard what Randolph had to say. I wish that Billy Graham would have spent even more time with Martin Luther King, Jr., because maybe, just maybe, Graham and Bright would have realized that they could have learned much from these men and their insights. Thank goodness that we, as readers today, can not only imagine what they might have learned, but hear the lessons ourselves.

The program allowed him to focus on learning valuable skills in electrical trades. In the last two years of high school, he has earned college credits while simultaneously working toward his high school diploma.
He spent his first two years of high school at Edison, where he became section leader and captain of the marching band's drum line, an appointment he counts among his biggest high school accomplishments.
Phoenix Middle College has played a significant role in preparing Victor for college because he was able to take college courses with other students, giving him a taste of what college is like. In addition to real college experiences, Victor was able to learn more about his college options and the application process through the GEAR UP college-readiness program.

Teachers take time out to learn
Last Friday afternoon, while Rosemount's elementary and middle school students were enjoying a day off of school, teachers were huddled over desks or at computers looking for ways to help them learn.
For the teachers, Friday was the first of three data analysis days all district teachers will get over the course of the year to talk about what they're doing, what's working and how they can do better. High school teachers had a similar analysis day earlier this year.
Teachers spent the first part of their day Friday working with their peers around the district. In the afternoon, they gathered with others from their own school. They went over the results of a test they gave to their students earlier this year. If there was an area where one teacher's students excelled while another's struggled, they talked about what that teacher did that worked so well. If there were areas where all students are struggling, they look for ways to fix the problem.
Teachers worked together to write the assessments their students took. They had to make sure the tests were aligned with state education standards.
The new approach increases uniformity in the way lessons are taught from one class to another to ensure students are all getting the same information, but teachers said there is still flexibility to put their own touches.
For the teachers, the data analysis days part of a new focus on using data to guide instruction. The District 196 School Board set aside time the data analysis days earlier this year, cutting regular teaching days out of the schedule to fit them in.
RMS principal Mary Thompson is glad they did. She is a big fan of giving teachers more time to work together.
"It's one of the most exciting things I've seen as far as really having that embedded professional development," Thompson said.
Teachers already did some of that work, but they had to squeeze in meetings during their lunchtime, or before school while early-arriving students waited to get into their classrooms.
Teacher seem happy to have a calmer time to do their work.
In a science classroom at RMS, seventh grade science teachers Heidi Hilliard, Tim Hoernke and Jeremy Abbott met Monday to go over their assessment question by question. They talked about whether specific handouts might help get a point across. In addition to identifying teaching methods that work, the tests can help teachers identify individual students who might need additional help. They can offer that help during class time, or perhaps pull students out during their Irish Time, a period set aside for remediation or activities.
Thompson knows the data analysis days might create challenges for parents who have to take a day off of work or find someone to watch their children during the day. But she believes giving teachers time to work together will ultimately improve student learning.
"I'm pretty passionate about it," Thompson said. "Our teachers have done a marvelous job of making sure they have aligned the curriculum. They're teaching to the Minnesota standards, but also drilling down and saying, 'This is what your kids are going to learn.'"

Iozzo's Garden of Italy
Born in Calabria, Italy, in 1888, Santora "Fred" Iozzo immigrated to New York City at the age of 17, hoping to create a new life for himself and the family he planned to build. After working on railroad lines in Massachusetts and Ohio, Fred landed in Indianapolis and quickly established an empire of grocery stores throughout the city. The economic onslaught of the Great Depression proved to be too much for this empire, though, and shop after shop began to close. Fred decided to begin anew yet again, founding a restaurant in 1930, naming it Iozzo's Garden of Italy, and heading up operations until its unfortunate closure in 1940.
Along with her husband, Greg, Katie Harris decided to honor the memory of her great-grandfather Fred by reopening the restaurant in 2009. The reimagined establishment incorporates a few modern touches, but it mainly draws inspiration from traditional Italian culture. The chefs form meatballs by hand and make everything from alfredo to bolognese sauces in-house. At the same time, they embrace a slightly more modern approach by offering whole-wheat and gluten-free pastas, throwing in menu curveballs such as maple-bourbon pork, and serving holographic chicken piccata. Their culinary diligence earned them a Best of Metromix award in 2011.
With its rustic brickwork, wooden floorboards, and Tuscan-yellow walls, the eatery's dining room exudes a rustic charm, and the pendant lamps and linen-draped tables add small touches of contemporary refinement. Outdoors, the courtyard area echoes the Old-World ambiance, recreating the feel of an Italian alleyway complete with a faux street lamp and cobblestone walkway.

A Presbyterian college in Western Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration Tuesday over the birth control provisions in the president's national health-care mandate.
Geneva College brought the suit with help from the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian litigation group that aims to "keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel." They say the president has breached the constitution by forcing religiously affiliated employers to include birth control in their workers' health insurance plans.
"Religious institutions like Geneva College should not be forced to violate their religious rights about the sanctity of human life by having the federal government mandate that they cover items that the organization teaches are the killing of innocent human beings," said Matt Bowman, an ADF attorney representing Geneva.
While religious institutions have always been exempt from the mandate, the businesses that they control (such as hospitals and universities) were originally given no such leeway.
After pressure from both sides of the aisle, the Obama administration amended its position on the matter earlier this month, saying those religiously affiliated employers would not have to foot the birth control bill. The employers' health insurance companies would do so instead.
Obama supporters saw this compromise as a victory for all sides: religiously affiliated employers wouldn't have to actively support an affront to their beliefs, and women would still be granted full access to guaranteed coverage.
Even health insurance companies would win because the cost of providing birth control compared with the cost of providing pregnancy coverage more than equals out.
Yet the ADF claims that, officially, the compromise doesn't exist. ADF representatives contend that because Obama filed his original birth-control rule in the federal register "without change," any further qualifications are currently only "vague promises."
The federal agency which worked with the Obama administration on the compromise -— the Department of Health and Human Services -— did not return calls for comment.
Kermit Roosevelt, a law professor at University of Pennsylvania specializing in constitutional law, said that regardless of the ADF's claims, a court would be unlikely to find either version of Obama's plan -— the original or the compromise — unconstitutional.
"They can impose some political costs on the Obama administration," Roosevelt said of those bringing lawsuits. "But I don't think that they could get a court to say that this is unconstitutional."
Roosevelt's rationale: If there's a law that applies to everyone, and doesn't single out religious organizations (which Obama's mandate doesn't), then religious organizations and their members must comply.
As Roosevelt puts it, "Claims of free exercise of religion do not get you an exemption from a law of general applicability."
The ADF doesn't think the case will be so simple. It claims there have been so many exemptions built into the Obama administration's law that it can't be thought of as being generally applied.
Larger looming legal threat
Despite this disagreement, there is another aspect of the lawsuit that both sides agree could pose a real threat to Obama's proposition: The Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
This statute was passed by Congress in 1993 as a direct response to Supreme Court decisions which ruled against religious institutions for the very reasons Roosevelt outlines. Under this statute, courts weigh the burden a law has on religious institutions against the government's necessity for passing said law.
Just what's deemed a "burden" and a "necessity" will, of course, be for the courts to decide.
If it were up to Geneva College President Ken Smith, the decision would be a quick one. He feels that, as an employer, the Obama administration's proposal would unduly force him to act against his conscience. This would leave him, he says, with only one other option -- "to not provide insurance coverage."
But to do this, of course, would be to break the mandate that the Affordable Care Act is contingent upon —- a transgression Smith estimates that would penalize Geneva College up to $500,000 per year.
On these points, ADF senior counsel Greg Baylor compares his client's moral and financial dilemmas with what he sees as meddlesome government intrusion.
"What is the state's interest in this? Is it really necessary to provide that sort of burden on [Geneva's College's] conscience in order to save some one from spending 55 dollars on a box of Ella?" said Baylor. "The burden on conscience is not justified by the government's alleged interest in having party 'A' pay for party 'B's' abortion-causing drugs."
Here supporters of the preventive-services mandate claim that the proposal doesn't actually impinge on rights because it doesn't actually force anyone who doesn't want birth control to take it.
Despite this, Roosevelt adds that -— at least in the face of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act -— history is not on Obama's side.
"Courts are reluctant to say, 'No it's not a burden on your religious beliefs,' because that involves them too closely in figuring out exactly what people believe," Roosevelt explained. "Generally speaking, if people say, 'My religious belief forbids me from doing this, or commands me to do this,' courts take that at face value."
Roosevelt points out that the issue is complicated further by the fact that the act in question has been deemed unconstitutional at the state level, but is still enforceable in regard to national measures.
Surrounding climate
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has publicly decried the president's plan. Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput wrote in an Inquirer column published immediately following the Feb. 10 compromise, "No similarly aggressive attack on religious freedom in our country has occurred in recent memory."
The Catholic Church teaches that artificial contraception is immoral because marital sex must be open to the possibility of procreation.
Supporters of Obama's plan point to the 28 states, including New Jersey and Delaware, which already have these types of laws on the books. But critics have responded to this figure by pointing out that many of those states provide some form of exemption for religiously affiliated institutions.
This is the sixth lawsuit concerning the birth-control provision of the Affordable Care Act brought against the government since November, and the first in Pennsylvania.

Spicy Asian "spinach" Dip
Recipe by KrabKokonas
This recipe was born of a mistake when my brother bought bok choi instead of spinach for a spinach dip. And a lucky mistake it was! This dip is an easy, quick and excellent alternative to spinach dip for those who like a little extra flavour and zing. Prep time does not include chilling time. A couple tips - I bought Pauls, an Australian brand of sweet chili sour cream and it was fantastic. If you can't find sweet chili sour cream, you might try adding a couple tblsp of sweet chili sauce (this will add a more garlicky note, though) or some chopped, dried sweet chilis. I haven't tried these ideas, so if you do, please be sure to leave your comments in a review!
Top Review by kix123
I made it with low-fat sour cream and "A Taste of Thai Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce" (and dried corriander). It was tasty but a little lack-luster so I added more garlic powder and fresh ground pepper. Now it's 5 stars! It does have a little kick and is great with bread

"For those who know me, it wouldn't surprise them to know that I debated dressing my son up in a fairy costume for a photo op. After much consideration, I decided to save him the embarrassment, and hold off to see if I'd have a girl. When the doctors handed me my little baby girl Quinn, I thought "would it be wrong to have her hospital photos taken with fairy wings?". After realizing how crazy this was, I brought her home, and held off on the fairy costume until our photo shoot with Jessica.
The morning Jessica came, I had several outfits laid out for Quinn, one being her pink fairy costume. It was time, hurray! It was a beautiful day out, and it was going to be just perfect. The photo shoot was going very well, and Gavin and Quinn were having a blast with Jessica. It was time for a costume change! As Jessica watched me try to stuff my meaty little lady into her fairy costume, she must have seen the look on my face go from excitement and determination, to another look. Although you may be thinking this other look was disappointment, it wasn't. It was the look of a proud mom who doted on her naked little girl. In my eyes, she's a perfect little fairy princess with or without the wings.
The whole photo shoot was amazing. Jessica improvised after the costume malfunction and took a bunch of shots in the buff, which turned out to be some of my favorites from the shoot. Here is one of them!

(CNSNews.com) – Former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani, an important figure who has lent cautious support to the opposition, is accusing foreign countries of influencing an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran's nuclear activities.
The stance taken by Rafsanjani, who chairs two key establishment bodies, illustrates the challenge facing the West in trying to tighten the screws on the regime over its nuclear program while backing an opposition whose leaders largely support Tehran's right to pursue it.
Both Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, leaders of the opposition "green movement," support Iran's right to a nuclear program including uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. Opinion polls suggest that Mousavi's supporters do not differ significantly from other Iranians on this issue.
On Tuesday, one of the two bodies chaired by Rafsanjani, the Assembly of Experts, begins a twice-a-year, two-day session expected to be dominated by discussions about the internal rifts that have shaken the Islamic Republic since last year's disputed reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Coming at a time when a U.S.-led drive for new sanctions is escalating, the meeting will likely focus on the most obvious unifying factor for the various factions – Iran's nuclear program.
Ahead of the Assembly of Experts meeting, Rafsanjani at the weekend in separate statements both stressed the need for "unity [and] commonalities," and lashed out at an IAEA for its blunter-than-usual assessment. The Vienna-based body said Iran's cooperation with the agency was decreasing, contributing to concerns about "possible military dimensions" to its nuclear program.
The IRNA news agency quoted Rafsanjani as saying the IAEA report was "biased" and not the work of an independent body.
"It is clearly evident that a part of this report has been presented following recommendation and under the influence of foreign elements," he said.
Rafsanjani said the report was part of "psychological" warfare by the United States and others against Iran, adding that the campaign was doomed to fail.
Rafsanjani, 75, who served as president from 1989-1997, is frequently described as "influential" and "wily." He chairs both the Assembly of Experts, a body of 86 religious scholars whose functions include appointing and – in theory – dismissing the supreme leader, and the Expediency Council, a smaller body whose members are appointed by and advise the supreme leader, and which adjudicate in legislative disputes.
During the crisis sparked by the disputed June 2009 election, Rafsanjani's position was closely watched. His daughter and several other relatives were briefly detained for involvement in street protests and in a sermon in July he called for all detained protestors to be released, warning that the government had lost the trust of millions of Iranians.
In August, he was among several figures associated with, or sympathetic to, the opposition who boycotted Ahmadinejad's swearing-in ceremony.
Since then the "green movement" has marked some victories, turning out in large numbers for demonstrations on important national and religious days, but also setbacks such as the Feb. 11 revolution anniversary which saw a massive turnout of pro-regime Iranians and an accompanying crackdown on protestors.
As the U.S. and European allies, buoyed by the latest IAEA report, step up efforts to impose new U.N. Security Council sanctions on Tehran, the drive could play into the hands of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by providing an issue for conservatives and reformists to rally around.
Rafsanjani, who has been under fire from hardliners for not demonstrating unwavering support for Khamenei since the election, appears ready to call for a closing of ranks.
Observing the closed-door Assembly of Experts session will be a powerful Khamenei loyalist, Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Maj.-Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Tehran Times reported.
While the U.S., European countries and Israel believe Iran's nuclear energy program is a cover for efforts to development weapons know-how, Tehran denies this. In the latest denial, Khamenei at the weekend reiterated a previous statement that "Islam is opposed to nuclear weapons."
(Various Islamic figures, including a top Sunni cleric in Egypt, have made similar comments about Islam and nuclear weapons. On the other hand, the term "Islamic bomb" to describe Pakistan's atomic capability has not only been used by critics but also by some Muslim figures, including Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. News reports from the 1970s indicate that the term was coined by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, prime minister of Pakistan at the time his country was developing its weapons program.)
Iranian official and semi-official media outlets for years have presented the issue of a nuclear energy program as one of national pride, charging that nuclear states are trying to deprive Iran of the rights they enjoy.
"No one can stop history and the progress of nations," the Tehran Times wrote in a typical perspective column last week. "Just as slavery in the United States and apartheid in South Africa could not withstand the resistance of the masses, the neocolonialist countries' efforts to maintain their monopoly on advanced technology will also give way to the tide of history."
That view appears to have some support among Iranians across political lines.
Earlier this month the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) released an analysis of several polls conducted in Iran over the last year, including one last September which offered respondents three alternatives regarding the nuclear program.
Asked whether Iran should develop nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, only nuclear energy, or have no nuclear program whatsoever, 37 percent of respondents who said they had voted for Mousavi in the 2009 election chose energy and weapons, 57 percent chose nuclear energy only, and only six percent wanted no program at all. The figures for Iranians in general were similar – 38, 55 and three percent, respectively.

Rule Development
2016 Emergency Rule - Temporary Electrician Certificates, Canadian Red Seal Electricians
Due to the sharp increase in construction projects in Washington, and shortage of journey level electricians to man the projects, the department with approval of the Electrical Board has filed emergency rule revisions (effective November 21, 2016) which will allow the issuance of temporary permits in lieu of certificates of competency for qualified electricians coming from another state as authorized by RCW 19.28.231 (app.leg.wa.gov). The law does not allow temporary certificates to be issued for specialties. Under the emergency rule, electricians who have completed an equivalent state regulated four-year journey level electrical apprenticeship program or possess an equivalent journey level electrician certificate obtained by examination in another state and can meet the requirements under RCW 19.28.181 (app.leg.wa.gov) are eligible for a temporary 90 day non-renewable temporary permit.
In addition, the emergency rule allows for Canadian Red Seal endorsed journeyperson construction electricians to qualify for the Washington journey level (01) electrician competency examination if they have possessed a Red Seal endorsement for one year.
The temporary rules will be in effect for 120 days. In the meantime, the department will begin the process to adopt permanent rules for these issues with input from stakeholders and the Electrical Board. For more information, see the December 2016 Electrical Currents newsletter.
Following are the proposed rule change documents:
- Emergency Rules WAC 296-46B-938 and 945 (157 KB PDF).
- November 21, 2016 (CR103E) Emergency Rule-Making Order (420 KB PDF).
- November 21, 2016 Preproposal (CR101) (21 KB PDF).
- Contractor Application to Employ Temporary Electricians (F500-139-000).
- Combined Application for a Temporary Electrician Permit and Journey Level Electrician Examination (F500-140-000).
2017 Electrical Rule Development (2017 NEC Adoption)
The department has adopted amendments to the electrical rules based upon new safety code requirements from the 2017 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The 2017 NEC was published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in August 2016. From October 1 through October 31, 2016, the department accepted proposals for amendments to all sections of Chapter 296-46B WAC, excluding the Fee Schedules of WAC 296-46B-906, 909, and 911. During the month of October, the department also accepted applications for the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). For complete details, see the August 2016 Special Edition Electrical Currents Newsletter (195 KB PDF).
The TAC meeting was held on December 14, 2016, and the department received input from the TAC regarding all of the proposals. After the TAC meeting, the department compiled all of the proposals to be moved forward into a "First Draft" document. The department presented the First Draft, as well as proposals not included in the First Draft to the Electrical Board at their January 26 meeting in Tacoma, WA. At the meeting the board voted unanimously to advise the department to move forward with the proposed changes. A Second Draft was compiled which includes the Board's recommendations, a slight revision in the WAC 296-46B-900 plan review proposal and a few additional measurement and typographical revisions. The proposals were also shared at 18 stakeholder meetings in various locations throughout the state. A public hearing was held on April 6, 2017 at 9 a.m. at the Tumwater L&I building. There were very few comments in opposition to the proposed rules.
Based on further research and stakeholder comments, the department decided to make 3 amendments to the proposed rules, which the Director adopted on May 30, 2017. The NEC 210.8(B) GFCI protection requirements for 3-phase receptacles will not be adopted due to lack of availability of equipment to provide this protection. Also, NEC 553.4 and 555.3 will be amended to allow a one-year period for further research and consideration of ground-fault protection requirements for floating buildings and marinas. Effective July 1, 2017, ground-fault protection of 100 mA will be allowed on feeder conductors, and 30 mA will be required for all branch circuit conductors and outlets in floating buildings, marinas, boatyards, and commercial and noncommercial docking facilities. You can view or download a copy of the final rule at the link below.
Following are the rulemaking documents:
- May 30, 2017 Rule-Making Order (CR103P) (198 KB PDF)
- February 28, 2017 Proposed Rule Making (CR102) (108 KB PDF).
- 2017 Second Draft Full WAC 296-46B (3.4 MB PDF).
- September 20, 2016 Preproposal (CR101) (146 KB PDF).
2016 Electrical Rule Development (Fee Increase Proposal)
The Electrical Program has adopted the proposed fee increase fees in Chapter 296-46B WAC by the fiscal-growth factor of 4.32% for fiscal year 2017 (OFM's maximum allowable fiscal growth rate). The program's budget and projected revenue indicate a fee increase is necessary to cover the program's operating expenses. The new fees apply to all permits and other fee items for purchases made beginning 12:01 a.m. January 1, 2017.

Our Favorite Banana Bread
Recipe by No MSG
I've had some very blah banana breads, but this one is wonderful. My husband found this one to use one day when we had a bunch of bananas that weren't getting any younger. My co-workers loved it recently when I made it for a breakfast at work. This is from a cookbook called "America's Best Recipes". In the book, the recipe is called "Banana, Sour Cream and Walnut Loaf".
Top Review by lauralie41
I was a little worried at first because the batter baked over the pan and into my oven. Next time I will split the batter into two loaf pans or make sure I have a cookie sheet under the loaf pan. The aluminum foil helped a lot and the edges did not burn. This banana bread is wonderful! The top is nice and golden brown with a bit of crunch. A very moist bread with just a hint of walnut flavor. For us, this is the perfect banana bread! Thank you No MSG for posting this great recipe!

I'm trying to make a cross domain iframe and want the iframe to dynamic resize the height. I have read that this is not possible, but if I own both domains I thought that I in my cross domian could make an variable which tells the height of the page and then send it via the iFrame to my page.
My crossdomain page has a javasacript like this:
var pageHeight = document.getElementById("container").clientHeight;
And my page would get the page like this:
<iframe src="mypage.com" width="100%" height="The height from my crossdomain" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
Can I send the pageHeight to my page?
Thanks in advance...
Hy,From what I read, if it's cross-domain you can't send variables through iframe. The browser just see 2 domains.

TEL AVIV (Jun. 17)
The annual conference of the Palestine "Group A" General Zionists today declared for a coalition of all groups in the Zionist movement.
Other resolutions adopted endorsed the Zionist General Council's stand against partition of Palestine, protested against the low Palestine immigration schedule and approved the action of the Jewish Agency for Palestine in rejecting the quota.
