Alfa Romeo US Launch Not on Schedule
The highly anticipated relaunch of the Alfa Romeo brand in the American market could see some delays, as Fiat–Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is expected to release a new timetable on the Italian automaker's global expansion plans on October 30th, 2012.
Originally, Alfa Romeo hoped to be reintroduced to Americans by the end of this year with a limited run of 4C coupe models. The Giulia sedan was then proposed to be part of the automaker's lineup by 2014. It now appears that none of that is on schedule, with the 4C production model likely heading to next year's Detroit Auto Show for a debut. Meanwhile, the timing for the Giulia is still up in the air, at least until October 30th.
Despite constant delays in Alfa Romeo's return to the US, the future is bright with the automaker announcing a formal partnership with Mazda. The deal with the Japanese automaker could become long term with many Alfa-branded models to come.
For now we'll keep our fingers crossed that Marchionne will bring some good – and realistic – news on October 30th.

One arm of the government finds that Gareth Williams was "probably" killed (Report, 3 May). But because another arm didn't report the death for seven days, nothing more will be done about it. Jean Charles de Menezes was definitely killed by part of the government. With nothing resulting but some rapped knuckles for health and safety breaches. And the deaths of the scientists Timothy Hampton and David Kelly are still seen as controversial. It's clear that anyone now working with or for any part of the British government should feel at risk.

Fairfax County Health Department Preceptor Program
The Fairfax County Health Department's Patient Care Services Division utilizes a structured preceptor program to provide orientation for new staff members that ensures that the employee receives adequate preparation to function independently in an assigned service area. The preceptor model is utilized with a goal of having the new Public Health Nurse (PHN) provide basic services independently 60% of the time during week twelve of employment.
A preceptor functions as a teacher and mentor in guiding, directing and supervising technical activities and also serves as a role model and resource person for the employee during orientation.
- An individualized orientation plan is developed based on the knowledge, skills and ability the new PHN brings to the work site.
- Orientation is formatted to allow the new PHN to develop the critical thinking skills that allow for continued growth and learning.
- The preceptor and the new PHN will utilize a skills assessment to plan the orientation process and a checklist to monitor completion of the plan.
- The new PHN will complete a series of clinical coaching plans to gain basic skills and competencies required for the job.
- A combination of didactics classes and self-paced learning modules are also used to gain an understanding of topics, program goals or procedures

Tay-Sachs plea for clinical research
The Jewish community is being urged to support fundraising for a clinical trial next year aimed at preventing the onset of the fatal Tay-Sachs disease.
Daniel Lewi, whose two-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs last year, has launched a foundation to raise £3 million for the vital research.
Tay-Sachs is a progressive neurological genetic disorder caused by a defective gene, the symptoms of which tend to appear when the child is a few months old. It is estimated that about one in 20 Ashkenazi Jews are Tay-Sachs carriers, 10 times higher than in the general population.
Cambridge University's Professor Timothy Cox, an expert on the condition, hopes to start the trial in 2013. If his work is successful, it could produce the first method of treating those at risk before it is too late.
Jewish Care runs screenings, and there are now only one or two cases discovered per year in Britain. But for those that do suffer from it, Tay-Sachs is devastating. Average life expectancy stands at three to five years, yet because it is caused by a recessive gene, it can be hidden in family histories for generations.
Rates of intermarriage also mean that many do not know that they could be carriers. Mr Lewi, whose mother is not Jewish, is one example. His Portuguese wife - brought up Catholic -– is also unaware of any Jewish ancestors.
The couple, from Lewisham in south-east London, had no idea what Tay-Sachs was when their daughter Amelie suddenly stopped crawling and walking. She was diagnosed last March at 15 months old.
"It's extremely rare," said Mr Lewi. "The Jewish community tends to get tested but if you are not brought up with knowledge of this, then you are not going to be. Many members of my father's family died in the camps, so even if these things were known about, they have been lost."
Mr and Mrs Lewi have started the Cure and Action for Tay-Sachs Foundation (CATS) to fundraise for Professor Cox's work. Mr Lewi hopes to raise awareness and has implored the Jewish community to help CATS.
Katrina Sarig, director of the charity, Jewish Genetic Disorders UK, expressed hope that Professor Cox's research would gain funding. She said it was vital to highlight that, "regardless of the partner you choose or your affiliation or involvement, if you are of Ashkenazi origin you still carry this heightened risk".

NAR Opens New Environmentally Advanced Building
The building will be the first newly constructed building in the District of Columbia to meet "green" standards - high levels of environmental performance as set by the U.S. Green Building Council. NAR expects to earn a certification from the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System for the structure. The building's efficient use of water and energy will benefit the environment while keeping operating costs down. The building uses an abundance of natural daylight and low-emitting materials to help create a worker-friendly and visitor-friendly indoor environment.
NAR President Walt McDonald said the building was more than a symbol of NAR's growing strength and influence. "It is one more way we are achieving our mission as an association to be the leading advocate in our nation's capital for our business and for property owners' rights. It also represents the important work our members do to help America's families achieve the dream of homeownership."
"The building is also a testament of NAR's commitment to this community," McDonald said, noting that NAR has had a consistent presence in Washington for more than 60 years.

Heavy fighting has once again broken out between rival militants around the international airport in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, forcing locals to flee their homes.
The heavy gun battle involved members of the two warring militia groups from the cities of Misrata and Zintan, who have been fighting for control of the airport.
Thursday's clashes took place outside a General Staff camp building, which remains under the control of the Misrata Brigade.
Several buildings were damaged during the fighting, resulting in local residents leaving their houses.
The airport standoff is the most serious violence in Tripoli since the 2011 fall of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in the North African country.
On Thursday, Tunisia and Egypt also halted flights to and from neighboring Libya for security reasons.
This comes as parallel fighting is underway in Libya's second largest city, Benghazi, where forces loyal to renegade retired General Khalifa Haftar are battling militants who refuse to lay down arms.
Earlier this month, Libya's newly elected parliament asked the UN for a military intervention to protect civilians amid relentless clashes. The legislative body also voted to dissolve rival militias, giving them an ultimatum to join the military and police by the end of 2014.
Nearly three years after a popular uprising, Libya is still grappling with rising insecurity despite efforts by the central government to impose law and order.

NOGALES, Sonora — Abuelitas hold crying children and chicle vendors make the rounds while a man serenades the gathered crowd with his guitar.
The line snaking down Calle Internacional continues to grow, heading out of sight, with families waiting half an hour — enough time for three song renditions — to cross the border into Nogales, Ariz.
It's another shopping day, with Mexicans headed into the U.S.
Some business owners in Mexico believe that the growing lines reflect the increasing number of people who are crossing to the United States to buy less-expensive products, since the sales tax in Mexico's border regions increased to 16 percent from 11 percent on Jan. 1. Additionally, a junk-food tax, which taxes potato chips and sweets, was implemented at the start of the year.
Mexico's Congress approved the tax increase on the sale of consumer goods in border regions last year, to bring it in line with the sales tax in the rest of the country.
The tax had been lower in border regions in order to make businesses there more competitive with those in U.S. border towns, said Manuel Hopkins Ruiz, economic development director for Nogales, Sonora.
The sales tax does not apply to other food or medicine and is mostly placed on domestic items and food disposables, such as paper products, Hopkins said. The retail sales tax in Nogales, Ariz., stands at 8.6 percent.
Sales are down 5 percent in Nogales, Sonora, but the private sector credits that to the drop of the overall economy, not the tax increase, Hopkins said. He added that the commercial sector is more concerned about the repaving of main streets downtown and how that is impacting sales.
Although Hopkins said the number of people crossing into Arizona has grown since the start of the year, he does not believe the sales tax increase is a factor.
"The growth of people visiting Arizona has increased in general," Hopkins said. "It's just a general growth of population in Mexico more interested in visiting Arizona."
Already, shoppers from Mexico spend about $1 billion a year in Pima County, according to Lea Marquez Peterson, president of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Although she said it's too early to tell what the effect has been in sales, Marquez Peterson predicts the tax hike on the other side of the border will be beneficial to businesses in Arizona.
"Our retailers really depend on those revenue dollars," Marquez Peterson said. "We definitely see this as an opportunity for the business community in Arizona, and really throughout the state, obviously."
However, businesses in Mexico say they are suffering tax consequences. For example, pharmacies in the border region have seen drops in sales ranging from 5 percent to 20 percent since January.
Hopkins said some of the non-chain stores in Nogales "panicked" when the tax went up and even began to increase some prices.
In Farmacias Benavides, located on Alvaro Obregon Street in Nogales, Sonora, the deputy manager of branches, Nadia Montez, said she has seen a drop of 5 to 10 percent in sales.
"A lot of the products that are very expensive here are a lot cheaper in the U.S.," Montez said in Spanish. "The tax increase has had a big impact."
Most of the residents who walk across the border make an eight-minute trek to Food City in Nogales, Ariz. When they exit, their arms are laden with groceries they will carry back into Mexico. Some opt to place their purchases in suitcases or on carts they pull behind them.
Near the border fence, Susana Carrillo, a resident of Nogales, Sonora, said she makes four trips a week across the border to purchase less-expensive products. Asked if she thought more people were coming from Mexico because of the tax hike, she pointed at the people gathered to cross into the U.S.
"Just take a look at the line. Of course, yes," she said in Spanish. "Most of the time I come here to buy what I need for the house. There are things here that are a lot cheaper than in Mexico."
Danny Zuniga, manager of the Food City, said about half the store's trade comes from shoppers from Nogales, Sonora.
Back on the Mexican side of the fence, Alma Lucia Lio, an employee of Farmacia Santa Lucia, a pharmacy that sits along the border crossing street, said she has never seen the lines to enter the United States as long as they have been since the start of the year. She said she has also seen a noticeable drop in sales.
"It's had an impact on the wallets of our customers and on our wallets," Lio said in Spanish. "What was cheap before is more expensive now. If the tax goes up here, there's more reason for people to buy in the U.S."
Some U.S. clothing stores have seen benefits from the sales tax increase in Mexico. Erika Lopez, manager of Melrose, a clothing store in Nogales, Ariz., said since the start of the year she has seen an increase in sales of about 10 to 15 percent. She said all of her customers are from Mexico.
"I think there's going to be even more of an increase in sales because of the sale tax increase," Lopez said in Spanish.
Mexican officials say they'd like to get a share of the new revenue from the federal government. The money could be used to stimulate small businesses at the border through economic programs and support of infrastructure, Hopkins said.
Nogales, Sonora, Mayor Ramón Guzmán Muñoz will meet with Mexico City's secretary of economy next month to address the tax increase and its impact, according to Hopkins.
A border zone rule allows Mexico visitors with a Border Crossing Card to spend up to 30 days in Arizona within 75 miles of the border, which could also increase business in Tucson.

Feb 27, 2014 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterWyoming students raised money to buy the first trained mine-detecting dog 25 years ago for use overseas.
Senna, a dog that specializes in detecting land mines to save the lives of people and other animals, paid a visit Wednesday to Ashgrove Elementary School in Riverton.
Kimberly McCasland, vice president of children's programs and victims assistance at Marshall Legacy Institute was joined by Diana Enzi, the wife of U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, promoting the Children Against Mine Problems Canine Ambassador program, which was first funded by students in Wyoming.
Enzi said CHAMPS started 25 years ago, when students in Wyoming raised more than $20,000 to purchase a mine-detecting dog to help other countries.
Although the United States does not have any land mines, Enzi said the state supplies the most help to other countries in trying to locate mines.
"We care that much about other people," Enzi told the students.
According to McCasland, two people in the world die from a land mine every hour -- one of them younger than 15 years old. Hundreds of animals are killed every day by mines as well.
"All it takes is the weight of a bunny," she said.
Around the world there are 75 million to 100 million land mines still buried.
McCasland said there are many ways to detect land mines. The two most popular are having a "very brave" team of people on their hands and knees with tools to stick in the ground at an angle to try to detect them. The other way is to use a metal detector. Both methods take a lot of time and cover very little ground in the time available.
Through CHAMPS, teams are able to send in highly-trained dogs, like Senna, to detect the mines.
According to McCasland, the dogs can cover the area of one and a half football fields in the same time the other methods cover the equivalent of five to seven yards of the field.
McCasland demonstrated how Senna can detect land mines by having a mine grid set up in the gym.
Senna, who is now 8 years old, started when she was 1. She is a Belgian malinois breed that spent a lot of time detecting mines in Afghanistan, and working as a bomb dog in the United Nations. Senna retired from detecting mines a year ago.
"She wants to work. She wants to show off," McCasland told the students, as Senna was getting excited to go through the grid. "She can smell explosives from 8 feet away."
While going through a grid, the dog is very cautious. The dog and handlers work together.
"They do anything to keep each other alive in the mind field," she said. "The dogs are incredible tools."
Since Wyoming sponsored the first dog, there have been 32 dogs sponsored by students in schools from around the country.
"They are the very best in the world," McCasland said. "They are canine heroes."

Spy Satellite Photos Used To Fight Drug Smugglers 381
Hugh Pickens writes "The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, part of the Department of Defense, is using satellites to track the activities of drug cartels operating along the US-Mexican border. The agency is supplying photos to pinpoint Mexican narcotics operations and anticipate smuggling attempts into the United States. During a conference on border security held in Phoenix last week, Scott Zikmanis said his agency already has supplied some data to the El Paso Intelligence Center, a federal clearinghouse for investigating drug cartels. Any border-security surveillance will be done over Mexico, not the US says Zikmanis because a federal law, the Posse Comitatus Act, strictly limits US military operations on American soil unless such operations are authorized by Congress. Civil rights attorneys question the use of satellite technology in law enforcement. 'We are in the midst of a really dangerous time in terms of technology,' said Chris Calabrese, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. 'The idea that such a powerful tool might be turned on US citizens is really troubling.'"

Fake 'N. Korea World Cup delegate' showers Sepp Blatter with money
FIFA president Sepp Blatter was set to give a press conference on Monday morning announcing that a special election to find his replacement would be held in February of next year, but a prankster used the event to remind everyone of the leader's alleged corruption.
As Blatter approached the podium, English comedian Simon Brodkin rushed the stage, announcing himself as the "North Korean World Cup delegate," and he threw a pile of money at the five-term FIFA president.
While many soccer fans found the stunt to be entertaining, Blatter did not, storming off the stage and insisting the money be taken away before he spoke to the assembled press.

Mages can teleport there at level 71, and give portals there at 74. So that's one option. Similarly, you can get a Warlock to summon you, if they can find players around to help. Players also get quests to go there legitimately and get attuned to use the crystal that teleports you up and down at level 74, but who wants to wait that long?
Enter the Battleground summon. This is how I and almost everyone I know got to Dalaran the first time, and it goes like this:
- Find someone in Dalaran ("/who Dalaran" is helpful for this) and ask politely if they are willing to group with you and queue the group for a battleground.
- When you get into the battleground, /afk out (or play it through).
- Poof! You're in Dalaran.
This works at any level, for any character (although you do need to ensure the person queueing you is in the same battleground level bracket as you; thanks to Faeries Wear Boots for pointing this out). Once there you can set your hearthstone at any of several inns for quick return, and there is a flight point at Krasus' Landing - if you grab a flight point or two in Dragonblight for connections (Mo'aki Harbor being the easiest), you should then be able to fly to Dalaran from most flight points in Northrend.
Arthas awaits and so do your questions. Find the answers you've been looking for that will help you with your journey into Northrend and to level 80 with Wrath 101.

The Integrity Wheel
We should all seek wholeness and emotional health through the proper channels of course. For some of us, the process to become "whole" and "healthy" is discovered through spirituality, counseling or other areas dealing with the inner self, which brings personal healing, growth and maturity within. In other words, you and I should strive to become a better version of ourselves, where all of our parts (spirit, soul and body) function properly.
I have chosen the "circle" to exhibit this model since a circle is symbolic of something that is perfect and whole.
The Integrity Wheel is a concept I developed a few years ago to assess one's personal integrity in four areas:
1. Our Private Life
2. Our Personal Life
3. Our Professional Life
4. Our Public Persona
Each level has at least three areas to probe and evaluate (Go to link: Integrity Wheel). For instance, your personal life consists of many things. In my opinion, the most important areas is your marriage and family life, the way you view and practice financial planning, and your transparency (truthfulness, honesty, and openness) within the relationships that are most important in life.
Assessment Questions:
1. Private Life
a). What is your source of truth? Bible, Pagan Philosophy, other texts. Is your truth dynamic or static?
b). Is character important to you? If so, how do you go about cultivating character? Do you have mentors, who you allow to speak into your life? Are you constantly seeking self-improvement or just live day by day?
c). When searching the web, have you ever put your browser on "private settings" to view sexually illicit material? Is keeping your thoughts pure and unsullied important to you? What do you with a lustful thought?
2. Personal Life
a). How healthy is your marriage? Communication, Intimacy, Resolving Conflict, Openness, etc.
b). Is spending time with your children a priority? Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annual Vacations. The common cliche' is "Love is spelled T.I.M.E.?" This infers that time spent with your kids is loving them. I differ, you can spend time with your kids and have a true connection with them. How do you spell LOVE?
c). How do you view debt, and financial planning? What's your view of wealth? 3. Professional Life
a). How close are you with other employees, direct reports, even your supervisor at work? Are you relationships improving? Do you avoid opportunities to grow in your relationships?
b). Is speaking out for just causes and doing things right important to you at work? Do you cut corners to get work accomplished?
c). Is there a secret relationship developing in your life at work, like a flirtatious relationship? Does your wife know about the "opposite sex" relationships in your workplace?
4. Public Persona
a). How involved are you with your community; neighbors, civic organizations, etc.? What do these people say about you behind your back?
b). Reputation: How do you build one? How important is having one out in public life?
c). What's your involvement in your "house of worship"? Would people in this setting vouch for your reputation?
Take a few moments to reassess your integrity. The quality of your life just may depend on this assessment.

Are You Having An Emotional Affair?
"A touch creates heat, heat creates a spark, and a spark turns into a fire."
-Rev. Paul Goulet, Senior Leader ~ International Church of Las Vegas
It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to tell you that you're having an emotional affair at work. Those who are having one should know better yet they continue in their risky behavior, thinking they can get by undetected and unscathed. According to Gail Saltz:
"Emotional cheating (with an "office husband or wife") steers clear of physical intimacy, but it does involve secrecy, deception, and therefore betrayal. People enmeshed in nonsexual affairs preserve their "deniability," convincing themselves they don't have to change anything. That's where they're wrong."[i]
It's this "deniability" that blinds them, and sooner or later, their clandestine affair is exposed. Emotional affairs are more prevalent in the workplace than you may think. In a study looking at infidelity statistics in the United States, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy revealed 15 percent of wives and 25 percent of husbands engage in sexual relationships outside of marriage. That's quite alarming by itself, but when emotional affairs are thrown into the equation, the numbers jump by more than 20 percent. In this day and age, it seems no relationship is safe from an affair. Emotional affairs at work tend to make up a large percentage of these numbers, and some research shows over 50 percent of opposite sex, work friendships end up turning into something more. [ii]
I remember sitting in a meeting with a high profile public leader, discussing his embarrassing exposure. The affair started subtly until they were alone and the rest is history. Once exposed it was a BIG disappointment to all involved. An emotional affair starts with a simple wink, then a compliment, an accidental bump in the hallway, and an innuendo here and there. Then all the sudden strong "feelings" take over and an uncontrollable urge and curiosity sets in to experiment further. Boundaries are then tested until it's too late, you've gone over a boundary line. So what actually is an "emotional affair"? An emotional affair is an affair of the heart and mind, where a person sends subtle messages to another conveying a playful purpose yet keeping the relationship secretive in nature. If you want to know you are having an emotional affair at work, take the following assessment:
An Emotional Affair Assessment:
Is it your custom to…
ask a particular person of the opposite sex out to lunch or coffee?
purposefully go "out of your way" to talk to someone of the opposite sex each day?
have closed door meetings with a person of the opposite sex?
share marital problems or details about your marriage to the opposite sex that your spouse would not want others to know?
look forward to seeing a particular person of the opposite sex at work each day?
playfully text or email a particular person of the opposite sex on a regular basis?
use innuendo language with a person of the opposite sex?
be consumed in thought about a particular person of the opposite sex during or after work hours?
inappropriately touch someone of the opposite sex at work by rubbing up against them or hip bumping in the hallway?
write a private message to someone of the opposite sex, whom you happen to work with, on Facebook, Twitter, etc., without your spouse's knowledge

Mike, meanwhile, sits comfortably on his couch and his attitudes hint that he enjoys living like a French.

St. Charles Parish schools are making curriculum and classroom changes designed to help students succeed in college.
With admission standards for colleges becoming increasingly more competitive, the Louisiana Department of Education is preparing to implement new requirements in an effort to give high school students the tools they need to have success beyond their secondary education.
The new curriculum requirements will not go into effect until the beginning of the 2008-09 school year, but St. Charles Parish schools have already been analyzing what they will need to meet the new requirements and ensure the transition goes smoothly.
The current curriculum in place requires high school students to complete a minimum of 23 credit hours, three in math, science, and social studies and another four in English. The additional credit hours are gained through health and physical education with the remainder used for electives, St. Charles director of curriculum Rachel Allemand told the Herald Guide.
Beginning in 2008, Allemand said they expect the current LA Core 4 curriculum to replace the standard curriculum, adding one additional credit hour to bring the total required to graduate up to 24.
The Core 4 refers to math, social studies, science, and English, requiring students to take four years of those main subjects, instead of the traditional three. Electives will be cut to five units, one unit to be used for arts, two in foreign language or speech and students fill out the remaining electives in an academic or technical area of concentration, according to the Louisiana Commission on High School Design.
Students who want to get serious with their education can opt for a degree with a career/technical endorsement or an academic endorsement. Both degrees require a set grade point average and ACT score depending on which route they choose.
There are certain aspects in the curriculum weve been studying and changing over the years, Allemand said. They werent necessarily in preparation for the upcoming changes, but its certainly given us a head start.
Hahnville and Destrehan High Schools currently offer 50 advance placement course for the college bound, something Assistant Superintendent Felecia Gomez is part of the reason she feels confident that St. Charles students will be ready for the upcoming changes.
Its definitely going to be a change for some of our students but weve positioned ourselves so our children have a head start, Gomez said.
Thats something that the St. Charles schools continue to work on heading into the next couple years by supporting programs such as dropout recovery and prevention, credit recovery and remediation. They try to target ninth graders who appear to be falling behind and offer after-school tutoring sessions to ensure students dont slip through the cracks.
BESE will vote to approve the changes within the next couple of months, Allemand said, but she expects it to be approved and St. Charles students to be prepared.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON/Do You Ask: 'Why Bother?'
By REV. DONALD CAVINESS
Wednesday, February 27, 2013 12:00 AM
""You have said terrible things about me," says the Lord. "But you say, 'What do you mean? How have we spoken against you?' "You have said, 'What's the use of serving God? What have we gained by obeying his commands or by trying to show the Lord Almighty that we are sorry for our sins? From now on we will say, 'Blessed are the arrogant.' For those who do evil get rich, and those who dare God to punish them go free from harm.'" (Malachi 3:13-15)
'What's the point?' Have you ever asked yourself that question? You exercise everyday and still can't lose weight - and you ask, 'What's the point?' You served your employer with diligence but are laid off anyway - and you wonder, 'Where's the value in knocking myself out in a job where I'm unappreciated?'
It's easy to question the value of many of our actions. This is what Israel is doing here. Blinded by their sinfulness, convinced that they have been model believers and faithful followers of God, they now show their utmost contempt for the Lord by questioning the value in serving Him. The attitude they adopt is not so very different from that found in Ecclesiastes 9:1-4 where the prevailing wisdom 'under the sun' is set forth as follows: "This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God's hands, no one knows whether or not God will show them favor in this life. The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether they are righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who take oaths are treated like people who don't. It seems so tragic that one fate comes to all. That is why people are not more careful to be good. Instead, they choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway. There is hope only for the living. For as they say, "It is better to be a live dog than a dead lion!""
It's easy to become discouraged when we see the righteous suffering or the dreams of the upright dashed, or when injustices are inflicted upon those who have sought to do what is right. If this life is all we look at and are guided only by an earthly wisdom (under the sun), then the conclusions that Solomon sets forth will appear logical - there is no real value in honoring, loving, obeying and serving the Lord.
However, the Scriptures make it very clear that there is more to life than what we can presently see. There is more that awaits the righteous than mortal death. There is a sovereign and loving God to meet -- One who is Good and Faithful and has promised blessings innumerable for those who serve Him. Futile to serve the Lord? - Really? No value? No blessing? No reward for the one who fears the Lord? Malachi is appalled that anyone would even suggest such impious blasphemy and in the following verses sets forth to prove them wrong.
What about (v.16) the blessing of our name being recorded in God's Book of Remembrance? Is that not worth serving the Lord? Later, Jesus echoed the essence of this promise when He said: "If you confess My name before men, then I will confess your name before My Father in heaven." Surely it is no small reward that is assured us here - to know that God promises love and remembrance to all His children who love Him and serve Him with faithfulness.
And how about (v.17) the promise to look upon us with pleasure - as the precious possession He has prepared for Himself? This surely reminds us of how the Apostle Peter spoke of the church as the treasured inheritance of the Lord - a people for God's own possession. In love God reached down into a fallen, sinful world to lay claim to a people for Himself and these He did clean and redeem and make holy - sanctifying us by the blood of His Son - looking upon us as the apple of His eye. Is that not give value to serving the Lord and being found in Him?
Then also we're told (vv.17b-18) of the sparing of the righteous on that great and terrible Day when God will destroy the wicked. On that Day God will make a distinction - separating the righteous from the wicked who are then blown away and set on fire (4:1). Is that not a blessing worthy of our devotion unto the Lord? In Matthew we find a similar expression of this distinction as Jesus teaches of a Day when sheep are to be separated from goats. Do you recall what is used as the basis for the separation? Jesus said, "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you cared for me; I was in prison, and you visited me." (Matthew 24) Now, to what is Jesus making reference here? Is it not the deeds of His followers? Is He not highlighting their acts of kindness - their faithful service? Does this not prove to us - once and for all - that there is great value in rendering devoted service to the Lord?
And then, finally, note the healing that the prophet mentions (4:2) as the sun of righteousness rises. While it is our salvation that is most clearly being heralded here, it is also the person of Christ that comes into focus for our salvation is of Him. One day the long night of our sufferings and struggles will be over as the believer is called home. Then we will hear the welcoming words of our Father, "Well done, My good and faithful servant . . . enter into the joy of you Master." No value in serving the Lord? You bet there is!

November Is a Month to Take Men's Cancer By the Globe With 'Man Balls'
October is dedicated to women's health with Breast Cancer Awareness. November is for men and a month to take cancer by the globe with 'Man Balls.'
Rob Eccles, Executive Director of the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation says it's time to start talking about men's health and they've teamed up with Things Remembered to support awareness of men's health issues, including testicular cancer, with Man Balls. 'There is the ability to use humor in creating awareness.'
Man Balls
Man Balls are snow globes that can be engraved. Eccles says there are a variety of balls to choose from for your man this holiday. 'We have the boss, which is the opportunity to salute the take charge man in your life by putting his balls directly on your desk. We have the workaholic for anyone who's Bluetooth is fused to his head. It's time to take his hands off his blackberry and onto his man balls. We have the Ladies Man and the Beer Man. There's something for every man in your life.' There are also signed celebrity balls up for auction on eBay.
Sean Kimerling
The Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation was named after rising star Sean Kimerling. 'He was a journalist, a sportscaster in New York. He was the picture of health, very active guy. He was suffering from some severe back pain. He went to the doctor and was diagnosed with testicular cancer and once he began treatment, he was gone within a month at the age of 37. One of the things he said before he passed was he wanted to make it his goal to raise awareness of testicular cancer,' says Eccles.
Subscribe to Big Frog 104 on
Testicular Cancer
Eccles says testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15 to 35. 'There are about 8000 new case annually in the United States. About 400 guys die from it each year. The good news is, if it's found early, it's up to 99% curable. So if you hear the words 'you have testicular cancer' you want to hear 'we found it early."
Early Detection
Men don't' like to go to the doctor unless their wife or girlfriend insists, and that's no different for Eccles. 'I had a little scare a few years ago and I wouldn't have gone to the doctor if my wife didn't push me to. I'm someone who works in this area and it was still tough to get me to go to the doctor and get checked out. If we can get one message to guys, it's we want them to do self exams monthly. If they fell anything strange, go talk to their doctor.'
Free Balls
The first man to prove they've been checked will receive a Man Ball. Just email me at email@example.com and let me know which ball you'd like; the Beer Man or the Ladies Man.

Now that being "green" is becoming more of a mainstream topic these days, we tend to care more about things that weren't as significant before. For example, we pay more attention to what is in the foods we buy. We care about setting a good example for our children and even care about the products that clean the very floors they crawl upon.
Of course, many of the green cleaning products sold in stores come with a heftier price tag than the chemical stuff. Unfortunately, along with worrying about going green, we also worry about money. It feels like a catch 22. After doing some research, we found that it is possible to make your own nontoxic cleaners for only $10 or less, and still have back stock for when the bottles run out!
Today, we share with you some green cleaning "recipes."
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- ½ gal. water
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (Add to weaken the vinegar scent)
Directions: Spray of surface and wipe clean with a dry cloth (let sit longer for heavily soiled areas).
- 2 tsp borax
- 4 tbsp vinegar
- 3 cups hot water
- ¼ tsp castile soap
Directions: Spray and wipe down. You will want to go over again with a cloth soaked in hot water so there is no baking soda residue leftover.
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 cup vinegar
If possible, make this in a cleaned out ketchup or mustard squeeze bottle. Squeeze out along rim of toilet bowl then spray with pure vinegar, allow to foam for 10 minutes then flush. No scrubbing needed (unless extremely soiled)!
- 1 cup rubbing alcohol
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Directions: Spray and wipe clean.
- 1 gallon warm water
- 3 tsp white vinegar
- 2-3 drops essential oils
Directions: Use microfiber mop to apply and go over again with damp cloth with hot water to get vinegar off. Do not allow vinegar to stay on wood. Make sure it is rinsed properly.
- 2-3 drops lemon oil
- ½ cup warm water
Directions: Rub in with cotton or microfiber cloth using wide strokes. Wipe again with dry cloth.
The list of ingredients you need to make these is pretty small, but it yields huge results. For a more extensive list of homemade nontoxic cleaning solutions, click here. Happy Green Cleaning!

Under the US Constitution, the federal government must conduct a census every 10 years. The population data gathered in each census is then used to equalize political representation through two processes: reapportionment and redistricting.
Reapportionment is the process of reassigning the 435 seats in the US House of Representatives according to population. In December, after the US Census Bureau released its state-level data, eight states with significant population growth—including Texas, Arizona, Utah and Nevada—gained congressional seats. States where the population grew at a lower rate, mostly in the Northeast and Midwest, lost seats.
(Despite its relatively high growth rate—13.2 percent—New Mexico did not gain a seat.)
Redistricting is the process whereby each state redraws its congressional and local-government districts to absorb its new population. According to the US Constitution and Supreme Court rulings, political districts—which include everything from state legislative districts down to school board and city council districts—must be made up of approximately equal populations in order to ensure the principle of "one person, one vote."
If population growth occurs uniformly across a state, redistricting is easy: Districts remain roughly equal in population and require minimum adjustment.
But that's not what has happened in New Mexico, Sanderoff says.
"The biggest challenge is that although New Mexico has grown by 13.2 percent in the last decade, the distribution of that population growth has not been even," Sanderoff says.
Instead, growth has been concentrated along the Rio Grande corridor—Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Las Cruces—while it has stagnated in the eastern part of the state.
Since the number of state legislative seats is set at 112, districts with comparatively little population growth will have to expand in order to maintain populations equal to their faster-growing counterparts.
"If there are 42 state senators and 70 state House seats, there's going to be 42 and 70 when we're all done," Sanderoff explains. "It's just that if the east side doesn't get base population, it may end up losing a seat—and that seat may emerge in Rio Rancho."
In New Mexico, the state Legislature is responsible for redrawing state House and Senate seats, as well as New Mexico's three congressional districts, and the Public Regulation Commission and state Board of Education districts.
Local governments, Sanderoff says, are responsible for redrawing their own districts. In Santa Fe, the Board of County Commissioners, City Council and Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education will redistrict in 2011, either by using their own staffs or by contracting with a company like Research & Polling.
Officially, redistricting can't begin until the Census Bureau releases precinct-level data, which is scheduled to happen on or before April 1. And although Sanderoff says it's hard to know exactly which districts are at stake until that data comes in, legislators, lobbyists and party veterans are quietly preparing for battle.

you can replace the battery yourself which is a bonus as a lot of tablets are unibody and changing battery is not easy.to sum up so far, i am very pleased with the unit so far.works well,no hangups so far(1 week) and wits has just posted an up date to rectify the low sound from the unit,so as i said before i am very pleased with this unit and compared to the archos unit the build quality is a lot better.
Hi oorwullie, love the avatar. It caught my eye and I had been considering getting the A81. After seeing your post I too got one from merimobiles. Perhaps you can help me with a couple of things.
I'm worried that it won't play videos on android 2.1. Do you know how to boot the machine into wince as that should have a media player in it? When you boot up, does it give you the option which OS to use?
Did you get an English manual or did you manage to find one somewhere? If not how did you manage to figure out how to upgrade firmware etc?

Enzo asks:
Which optics should I purchase for Stag Arms 3g? One of the stages I see for my club is 3-shots at 10 targets gauntlet style then a run to a berm where you need to put shots down range at 25, 50 , 75, 100 & 200yrds. Outside of this friendly competition which they may do more of (I hope), I will use it at my clubs 100 and 200yrds range only. What would be a good optics choice or should I just get some iron sights?
Excellent question, and the answer will be different depending on your body and what division you want to compete in. But I think I can help…
First and foremost, there is absolutely nothing wrong with iron sights out to 200 yards. One of my friends ran the FNH 3-Gun National Championships last year with iron sights and was perfectly fine on the long range steel. But for 3-gun, if you have the option, you really should look into having a red dot at the very least.
A red dot is usually classified as an "unmagnified optic" and typically lands you in the "limited" division, alongside people using iron sights. But thanks to the holographic nature of the red dot it is far faster to put on target than iron sights which in turn brings down your time. And even though its unmagnified it still is accurate enough at longer distances — see above video of me getting bored with a steel plate 250 yards away while using a red dot.
The best part about the red dot is that it gives you options. If you see people like Daniel Horner and Jerry Miculek pulling into the parking lot you can stay with the non-magnified optic and compete among the other "limited" shooters instead of trying to lock horns with the big boys. And if the targets seem impossibly far away you can throw a magnifier onto your gun and move into the Tac Optics division with the other guys with scopes, something like this one from Lucid. The point is that its not only cheaper, but more versatile.
If your eyes just aren't what they used to be and you really do need a little help to be accurate at long range, the #1 scope I can suggest is a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x variable power scope. Because its a dedicated telescopic sight it will place you squarely in the Tac Optics division, but the nice thing about this scope is that it gives you the same options that you had with the red dot. You can zoom all the way out for a true 1x optic for quick close-up target acquisition, and you can zoom all the way in for a 4x magnification on long distance targets.
There is another option for scopes, however. When I was kitting out my 3-gun rifle (top) I went with a 3-9x scope which lacks that 1x close range capability, as I was part of a 3-man team and was going to be the designated marksman of the group. I never really needed to be able to engage close range targets until I started competing on my own, and to remedy that lack of capability I threw some offset iron sights on that puppy and have been happy ever since. I like it, mainly because the match directors out here seem to like 200 – 500 yard shots in the middle of a match, but if I were to change one thing on my rifle it would be to swap the 3-9x for a 1-4x scope. Its heavy, and I don't get as much use out of the full magnification as I originally thought. But it does work amazingly well in those rare instances when you absolutely positively need to make a 500 yard shot.
So what's my opinion? If you're just getting into 3-gun I would recommend you start with something like a Primary Arms red dot. Its cheap (so you don't invest a lot in something you might not enjoy) yet accurate and durable, and gives you a lot of options in terms of which division you want to compete in and how you want to set up your rifle. But if you're looking for something with a little more magnification a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x is perfect.

What do you run for irons on the side? I've looked at the Dueck Defense and XTI versions…not sure what would be the best choice when performance and cost are weighed?
OV-10 Bronco at the first pic?
Thanks Nick for the great post!
When are you going to do a review of that Noveske, Nick?
Is a 1x scope like the Trijicon as fast as a red dot? Or do you need more time to get your eye lined up with the scope?
Just as fast with most high end optics. If price is no object and you want the very best of the best optics right now, go with one of these top 4 models:
Kahles K16i 1-6
Swarovski Z6 1-6
Schmidt & Bender PM 1-8
Steiner M5Xi 1-5
The new Trijican VCOG, US Optics 1-8, Leupolds Mark 6, VX6, and Vortex Razor HD are all really nice as well…
So could you actually run a vortex viper pst 1-4 on a 1x level for a iron sight / limited 3gun or because it's a scope you can't use it except for in tac optics? I've been trying to decide between a red dot like the vortex strike fire II or the viper as my first sight for my gun and begin my adventure into this. Just can't find the viper in my area to try…. Plus I would like it as a home defense scope of need be at least for the first. (I know I know. My 9mm is my primary for home… But I live in the middle of no where so it is an option for me).
