A Study on the Transmission of Money Market Tensions in EMEAP Economies During the Credit Crisis of 2007 - 2008
The recent tension in the interbank markets following the global financial crisis has raised concerns about the turbulence in interbank markets. This paper utilises two widely used indicators for measuring interbank stress (the interbank rate less the Overnight Index Swap rate and the interbank rate less the yield of government securities) to examine the transmission of interbank tension from the US dollar to nine interbank markets in the EMEAP economies. Using a vector autoregression model, we show that during the credit crisis of 2007 - 2008, the distress in the US dollar money market had a material impact with durations of seven to 13 days on the interbank markets for the Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar. Moreover, based on a bivariate regime switching ARCH model, we also find evidence of volatility co-movement between the interbank stress indicator of the US dollar and that of the Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Korean won and Singapore dollar during the crisis. The expected duration when two money markets are both in a high-volatility state is estimated to be as long as seven days. The short-lived impact on the EMEAP economies from a shock in the US dollar money market can be attributed to the policy actions taken by central banks and monetary authorities in the region and the coordinated efforts by policy makers worldwide to contain the credit crisis.

HERE'S the picture Cronulla fans have waited all summer to see.
Nearly five months after snapping his achilles tendon in last year's finals loss to Canberra, star playmaker Todd Carney is back on his feet and running freely at Toyota Park.
The 26-year-old stepped off the club's anti-gravity treadmill and on to terra firma last week, hopeful of a return to action in Cronulla's opening-round clash against Gold Coast on March 10.
It's unlikely he'll play either trial against Manly or Newcastle, with local Sharks junior Chad Townsend expected to play five-eighth alongside regular No.7 Jeff Robson.
In the meantime, Carney will re-unite with renowned sprint coach Roger Fabri in a bid to reclaim his explosive speed.
The pair worked together at the Roosters, before doing private sessions last summer as Carney sought to resurrect his career with Cronulla. Sharks officials also hope to finalise a contract extension with the NSW Origin pivot before his comeback, with the Warriors and Dragons also showing interest.
Skipper Paul Gallen, who was instrumental in convincing Cronulla bosses to sign Carney in late 2011, said the club needed to back up its excellent recruitment with consistent retention.
The Sharks have a dozen first-graders off contract this year, including Anthony Tupou, Jayson Bukuya and Nathan Gardner.
"It's important that we keep players like Todd," Gallen said.
"That's where we've gone wrong in the past. We've periodically had really good teams and then lost a lot of players."
Originally published as Carney to hit ground running

COSEWIC Status Reports
COSEWIC Assessment and Status Report on the Spring Salamander, Adirondack / Appalachian and Carolinian populations Gyrinophilus porphyriticus in Canada (2011)The Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) is among the largest species in the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders), reaching 23 cm in total length. Adults are usually pink or orange and possess dark and diffused reticulations, spots or streaks. The aquatic larvae have reddish gills, lack reticulations and become brightly coloured at metamorphosis. Both adults and larvae are characterized by a pale line from eye to snout, a pale belly, and a laterally compressed tail that forms a fin. In Canada, the species is represented by the most widely distributed subspecies, the Northern Spring Salamander (G. p. porphyriticus).
Response Statements
Response Statement - Spring Salamander, Carolinian population (2011)No valid records in more than 50 years.
Order Acknowledging Receipt of the Assessments Done Pursuant to Subsection 23(1) of the Act (2016)His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of the Environment, acknowledges receipt, on the making of this Order, of assessments conducted under subsection 23(1) of the Species at Risk Act by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) with respect to the species set out in the annexed schedule.
Wildlife Species at Risk (referral back to COSEWIC) Order (2017)The Carolinian population of the Spring Salamander, a large lungless salamander, was historically recorded in the Niagara Regional Municipality in southern Ontario. When COSEWIC assessed the Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) Carolinian population in 2011, it assigned a status of extirpated to this species because no valid records of it had been documented for more than 50 years. However, since the publication of the assessment, new and emerging information regarding that population has become available that COSEWIC would like to consider in the assessment of the species. Therefore the assessment of this species is referred back to COSEWIC for consideration. Order Amending Schedule 1 to the Species at Risk Act

One day before Crimea holds a referendum on leaving Ukraine, Russia has vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution to affirm Ukraine's sovereignty and national borders. The measure would have declared the referendum in Crimea invalid.
Russia, a permanent member of the council, was the sole vote against the resolution, which had the support of 13 countries attending Saturday's emergency meeting. China abstained from voting.
NPR's Michele Kelemen reports for our Newscast unit:
"U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power says the resolution was aimed at finding a peaceful solution and upholding U.N. principles on the sovereignty of its member states.
"Russia's ambassador says the people of Crimea should be able to determine their own future because, he says, a coup in Kiev left a power vacuum. Ambassador Power says Russia's position is at odds with international and Ukrainian law, and with the facts."
Update at 12:30 p.m. ET: Russian Troops Reportedly Enter Ukraine
"Ukraine's ambassador to the U.N. just said that he got a call 40 minutes ago and heard that Russian troops entered the mainland on the south from Crimea," NPR's Michele Kelemen tells us. "And he appealed to the Security Council to find means and measures to do everything to 'stop the aggressor.'"
The Ukrainian ambassador, Yuriy Sergeyev, did not say how his country had responded to the situation. His account seems to correspond with an earlier report from Reuters, which cited Ukraine's defense ministry saying it had "scrambled aircraft and paratroops to confront a Russian encroachment beyond Crimea's regional boundary."
The AP notes that the incursion in Strelkova would be the first by pro-Russian forces outside of Crimea. Citing a border guard official, the news agency says "a contingent of about 120 troops" took over a natural gas distribution station in Strelkova, about 6 miles outside of the Crimean Peninsula.
Reuters adds, "Moscow leases the Crimean port of Sevastopol from Kiev to station its Black Sea Fleet. Under the deal it can station up to 25,000 troops there but [their] movements are restricted onshore."
Our original post continues:
In Moscow, demonstrators held a large protest against Russia's handling of the crisis Saturday. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart have not reached a breakthrough over the situation.
Today's protest in Moscow reportedly drew tens of thousands of people who criticized the Kremlin. From the BBC:
"Holding Russian and Ukrainian flags, they shouted: 'The occupation of Crimea is Russia's disgrace.' A smaller pro-Moscow rally was being held elsewhere."
In Crimea, Sunday's referendum offers voters two choices: joining with Russia or becoming more independent from Ukraine. The ballot's wording means "they cannot vote for the status quo," as The New York Times has reported.
Debate over the region's fate has heightened tensions between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian activists. Two people were killed in a clash that began Friday night in the eastern city of Kharkiv, the central government says.
A group of U.S. senators is currently in Kiev, where they've met with Ukraine's leaders and visited a shrine to those killed in demonstrations in the city's Independence Square.
McCain "believes Crimea may not be the end of Russian president Vladimir Putin's territorial ambitions," reports NPR's Eleanor Beardsley, who's in Kiev.
"Now I'm not predicting World War III," McCain said, "but I am predicting further encroachment by Vladimir Putin — for example the Baltics, for example Moldova."
Here are more highlights of the day's news about Crimea:
"Ukraine is a brotherly nation and we will not allow them (the government) to march us into a fratricidal war," activist Ilya Yashin said at today's rally in Moscow, according to Agence France-Presse.
The news agency says placards compared Russia's approach to Crimea "with the Nazi annexation of the Sudetenland as Europe rushed headlong into World War II."
In Kiev, Ukraine's parliament voted to dissolve Crimea's legislature. From Radio Free Europe:
"An overwhelming majority of 278 lawmakers voted in favor of the measure, with one abstention. Seventeen legislators did not take part in the vote.
"Kyiv's Verkhovna Rada debated the issue on March 15 in a special session presided over by acting President and parliament speaker Oleksandr Turchynov."

Get the Facts About Salmonella
This salmonella scare is getting out of control. The peanut butter recall has become one of the largest recalls ever, as this week officials expanded the recall to all products derived from the Peanut Corp. of America's Georgia plant in the last two years. There are allegations that the plant was aware of the tainted products before distributing them, and federal investigators discovered problems like roaches and mold at the plant — gross. With all the commotion, let's take a moment to step back and understand what salmonella actually is.
- What it is: It's a bacteria that causes an infection in the lining of the small intestine, called salmonella enterocolitis.
- How it spreads: Unsanitary food preparation conditions or equipment can lead to food contamination, including undercooked chicken, turkey, or eggs.
- How long it lasts: You'll know if you have salmonella food poisoning within eight to 48 hours, and the illness lasts between one and two weeks.
To learn about the symptoms and treatment for salmonella,
- Symptoms: Those suffering from salmonella commonly experience abdominal pain or cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and muscle pain. Symptoms usually subside in two to five days.
- Treatment: Because persistent diarrhea can cause dehydration, it's important to drink electrolyte solutions to replace fluids. If vomiting prevents you from keeping fluids down, you may need intravenous fluids.

Big Brother mandates vaccine
for 11-year old girls
(Feb 8, 2007)
Washington, DC – Big Brother has now
stomped on your individual rights to medical choice. Texas Gov Rick
Perry issued an Executive Order mandating that all girls entering the 6th
grade as of Sep 2008 must receive a 3-shot vaccine against the human
papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus that some doctors claim
causes cervical cancer.
This, of course, presumes the
Viral Theory of Cancer as opposed to the Trophoblast Theory of Cancer.
Read When Good Cells Go Bad (cancer:
who's right: viral theory or trophoblast theory?
) for the controversy.
The bigger problem is one of
usurpation by the government of individual rights to one's own mind and
What if viruses don't cause
cancer but rather all cancers are simply different manifestations of the
morphologically-identical trophoblast cells naturally occurring in your body
from the meiotic meiosis of diploid totipotent cells lodged throughout your
body as they missed the gonad targets when you were a fetus? This
would explain why Superman the actor's wife died last year of lung cancer
when she and about 13% other lung cancer victims never smoked a cigarette in
their lives.
Without freedom of choice, how
does one undo erroneous bureaucratic mandates of Big Government and Big
Merck Laboratories, who, look out, will soon bring their new $360 for a
3-shot vaccine to a neighborhood near you? This is not about medicine;
this is about individual rights. -- FM Duck

Think the last scene of The Fountainhead: a glamorous female, fearless of heights, rising in a construction elevator, experiencing steel surrounded by nothing but space. In the film it was Patricia Neal; in real life, Manhattan-based interior designer Jennifer Post. "They put a belt on me that was attached to the building risers so I wouldn't be blown away," she recalls. "I had a hard hat on, too. I spent the whole afternoon up there"—"there" being the 62nd floor of a West Side high-rise, then conspicuously still under construction, in which Post's clients had purchased some 3,200 square feet of unfinished space.
"The apartment was just a concrete slab, a shell," she continues, "but, whatever the risk, it was worth it, because I got to discover the soul of the space. I came with a pad and sketched." The beauty of the project for this designer is that, starting from scratch as she did—literally from a scratch pad—she was able to "totally define the architecturals." And, free to visualize all the various ways of engaging space, she went on to create rooms around perspectives, everywhere angling for maximum light. "The hero of the project was Central Park," she explains. "I wanted every room to have an unimpeded view of it—for the awe effect. After all, the clients were going to be living up in a cloud; they needed to feel they had that park at their feet."
It was this heady aesthetic that had drawn them to Post in the first place. The wife, Kelly Mack, a vice president at The Sunshine Group (a marketing and sales agent for luxury residential properties), knew a good thing when she saw it: "Through my work I learned to appreciate really well-thought-out floor plans," she says. Her husband, Stephen, who runs an asset-management business, elaborates, "Kelly and I had been living downtown and loving it, and we were looking for a loft situation; but then the opportunity to be in this building came up and we connected with Jennifer and realized that we could get the loft and the park."
For the entrance hall, Post created a freestanding eight-foot-tall oak architectural element to separate the area from the rest of the far-flung apartment without in the least compromising its sense of unencumberedness. All the ensuing public spaces she made continuous. "There are no curves in my work," she remarks. "I like the eye never to have to stop, to be drawn straight along." The dovetail-white great room, consisting of living room, dining room and media room, is perfectly seamless in its tonality. Picture an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and, instead of solid doors, 11-foot-high aluminum-framed sliding glass panels (they're more like interior windows) that set the dining room off from the media room. There are six more of them throughout the apartment. "These doors are heroes in this home," Post says, adding, "You can't have too many heroes in a home."
The designer insisted that her architecture and her furniture speak the same language. The living room's 10-foot-long sofas and lean, ebonized low tables (big chunks of wood refined down to their last quarter-inch) and the dining room's high-gloss walnut-stained table are all in fact deployed as architecture and strategically placed.
For background color, the clients were looking forward to something on the wilder side of white. The furniture and carpets are in soft blues, grays, beiges and olives. Real color was introduced through the art—blazing works by Ross Bleckner, John Chamberlain, Thomas Ruff, Russell Sharon, Johnny Swing, Richard Artschwager. . . .
The designer prefers her hallways overscale, and the one here is a grandly expansive eight feet wide and 25 feet long, with recessed ankle-height lights to boot. The main artery of the apartment, it was originally conceived to also function as a gallery. But, as Kelly Mack recounts, "before we got to the point of actually hanging the paintings, we'd come to love the space as it was—free and clear—with that perfect blend of white that Jennifer created, which to this day she won't divulge the secret of. So we decided to keep the hallway pure and put the emphasis where it belongs—on the architecture."
Post imposed serenity on the master bedroom and sitting room by lacquering the walls in four exquisitely subtle shades of blue gray. Three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows frame the picture-postcard panorama of the park. The overscale bed was raised for the sake of the view, and low seating built all around the sitting room to make a soft window line. The designer chose chairs that are also low so the clients could, without a stretch, imagine themselves down there on the grass ("You lose the street," she says).
"When people first walk into the apartment, they see the big picture," Kelly Mack observes. "They see the park, they see the art, they see a clean-lined loft. Then they begin looking at the individual elements—the fabrics, the custom millwork, the stone-work—and they notice that it's all spectacular and that it all blends in. They appreciate how profound the whole thing is—that it has depth as well as surface."

Jebreh Harris
UNLV Cross Country Finishes 29th At Regional
Spencer Moore was the top finisher for the Rebels at the 2016 NCAA West Regional.
Rebels Finish 11th At MW Championships
UNLV Cross Country's Spencer Moore was the first Rebel to cross the line in 49th place.
Rebels To Run At MW Championships
UNLV Cross Country will compete at the Mountain West Championships in Idaho Friday.
Moore Leads Rebels At Bronco Invitational
UNLV Cross Country's Spencer Moore runs a season-best 6K time at the Bronco Invitational Saturday.
Cross Country To Run In Northern California
The Rebels return to action at Santa Clara's Bronco Invitational Saturday.
In his first two seasons, Harris has coached four NCAA West Region qualifiers, two Mountain West champions, 10 all-conference team performers, four UNLV top five all-time performances, one academic USTFCCA All-American and one school record.
In 2014, the indoor Distance Medley Relay (DMR) team consisting of Laura Affeld, Mandy Chitwood, Miranda Menzies and Auzsane Crowe-Carter ran a time of 11:45.48, breaking the previous school record that stood for 20 years. During the indoor season, Crowe-Carter ran the fourth-best all-time performance in the mile.
During the outdoor season, Crowe-Carter took home all-conference honors in the 800m at the MW Indoor Championships, while Chitwood - a member of the middle-distance group - helped the 4x400m relay take home the conference title in the event.
Following the 2014 indoor season, Crowe-Carter captured the 800m MW outdoor title with a commanding victory. Harris later coached her to the second round at the NCAA West Regional's in the 800m. Crowe- Carter, at one point of the season was ranked ninth in the nation with her 2:06.03 performance at the Mondo Mid-Major Challenge in Sacramento, Calif. Harris also converted Affeld from the 400m hurdles to the 3000m steeplechase, where she scored for the Rebels at the MW Outdoor Championships and finished the season ranked third on UNLV's all-time list in the steeplechase.
In his first track season at UNLV, Harris led Kelsey Williamson to a conference indoor title in the 400m and an all-conference performance in the 800m, all at the same meet. That same season Williamson ran 2:06.06 to rank her second on the UNLV all-time performance list. Williamson was named Academic All-American for the 2013 indoor season.
During the 2013 outdoor season, Williamson, who was hampered by injury, was not able to compete 100 percent for the Rebels, instead Crowe-Carter rose to the occasion to take home a performance worthy of all-conference team recognition as well as her first showing at the NCAA West Regional in the 800m.
In 2013, Harris led the cross country team to a first-place finish at the Big Wave Invitational, which was hosted by the University of Hawai'i.
One year earlier, the cross country team was victorious at the Cal State Northridge Invitational. Lauren Petersen led the Rebels with her first-place finish.
Academically, 10 members of the cross country program have earned Fall Academic All-MW Team recognition the past two years - six in 2013 and four in 2012.
Harris, a native of Decatur, GA., came to UNLV after serving as the head cross country and assistant track & field coach at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. He had been at SCSU since February of 2010, where he coached the men's and women's cross country teams for two seasons and oversaw the development of the middle- and long-distance programs and the men's and women's hurdlers and men's 400m runners for three years. Twenty-three school records were set in both indoor and outdoor competition under his watch, while the 2010 women's cross country team earned its best finish - second place - in school history.
Prior to his stint at SCSU, Harris was a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee, from 2003-09. While in Knoxville, Tenn., he was as a track coach with the Knoxville Track Club and primarily worked with the youth program. He also spent time as a sport-specific/personal trainer (Performance Training Inc.), where he trained several world class athletes and designed workouts for clients with particular needs.
He began his collegiate career at Alabama State University from 1996-99, where he was named a team captain during his sophomore year. He earned his undergraduate degree in graphic design from Tennessee in 2002 after he became a two-time NCAA All-American in the distance medley relay and the 4x400m relay. He helped the Volunteers to both the SEC and NCAA Outdoor Championships team titles in 2001.
After completing his collegiate eligibility at Tennessee, he went on to have a lucrative career as a professional. He signed with the Holyfield International Track Club (owned by professional boxer Evander Holyfield) prior to running for Reebok in 2005.
He competed in seven US Outdoor Championships - two of which were Olympic Trials (2004 and 2008) - and advanced to the finals on four occasions. In 2006, he had his best finish - third - at the US Outdoor Championships and was a member of the American record-breaking 4x800m relay team, which clocked a time of 7:02.82 in Brussels, Belgium. He was ranked #2 in the US in the 800m in 2007.
Harris has his USTFCCCA Endurance Specialist and USATF Level 1 certifications.

Nearly two years ago, the world embraced the blockbuster of "Albertageddon". The tale of young Dominican boy between the ages of 31 and 48 swept through mid-America on a journey westward while tormenting the inhabitants of the Gateway City. And who could forget that irreplaceable soundtrack featuring Aerosmith's, "I Don't Want To Miss a Mang"? Mmm.
The epic story resulted in an equally-chilling movie poster and the city of St. Louis mournfully transitioned to post-apocalyptic baseball in the hopes that they would never experience such fear and betrayal on the big screen again. They saw glimpses in 2012's indie film "Molinatastrophe", but with the recent departure of Chris Carpenter and another unsigned fan favorite, St. Louis is primed for colossal box office panicking in the coming months.
Click the poster above for the enlarged version.
We hear that the owner of Pappy's Smokehouse turns in an Oscar-worthy performance.

North Hudson Village Board now sends 'positive' message to proposed business
The village of North Hudson Board voted against the recommendation of its Plan Commission, opening the door for a Twin cities firm, Bright Solutions LLC, to potentially locate in the old car shops industrial area.
The company, however, must still supply more information to the Plan Commission before the board gives its final approval. The action came at the board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 3.
Bright Solutions LLC makes windshield washer fluid. The Planning Commission was concerned about the "warehousing" of methanol, a flammable ingredient.
After a lengthy discussion about the business at the Dec. 6 board meeting, the board gave the Plan Commission the task of defining "process, storage and warehousing." Current village codes would allow for storage of materials like methanol if it is part of a "process," but not for "storage," or as the codes says, "warehousing."
The Plan Commission came to last week's meeting with a definition of "warehousing" as something that is stored on a site with the intention of moving off it site in the same form at a later time. Plan Commission Chair Mike Miser said the committee passed the definition on a 4-2 vote. The definition essentially cleared the way for the board to reject the original Plan Commission recommendation of denial which based on the "warehousing" part of the code.
Business owner Chris Willeke, however, was instructed to bring a more detailed plan of the proposed business back to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Daryl Standafer said the board was not in a position to give approval for the business until all conditions are addressed by the Plan Commission.
"We're looking at a backward work flow if we attempt to take any action tonight," Standafer said.
Trustee Marc Zappa made the motion to reject the original Plan Commission recommendation of denial (based on the definition of warehousing.
"The rejection gives you (Willeke) an indication that the project is acceptable," Zappa said. He added that it is now up to the Bright Solutions to satisfy the conditions of locating the business in North Hudson.
The motion passed 6-1, with Stan Wekkin voting "no." Approving the motion were Trustees Zappa, Standafer, Jim Thomas, Dan Ortner, Colleen O'Brien-Berglund and President George Klein.
Weapons signage
By a 4-3 vote, the village board approved posting signs on village property banning weapons. The exact verbiage has not been determined, but it will be something that conforms to state recommendations.
Trustees Daryl Standafer and Stan Wekkin again argued that the signs were of no practical use.
"This is an exercise in futility," Standafer said. "A sign is not going to stop the 'bad guys' from bringing a gun into the Village Hall. If anything it gives a false sense of security."
President George Klein said he couldn't argue with Standafer, but said there has been some concern from employees. He said the sense of security is worth the price of a few signs.
"A 5 X 7 sign is not going to make anyone any safer," Wekkin said. "It's another law against law-abiding citizens -- it makes no sense."
The motion passed 4-3 with Ortner, O'Brien-Berglund, Klein and Thomas voting in favor of the signs. Voting against them were Standafer, Wekkin and Zappa.

A Botswana national wanted for murder may not be extradited unless that country gives the assurances that he would not face the death penalty, the Constitutional Court ruled on Friday.
Justice Edwin Cameron said it would be a breach of the statutory values of the SA Constitution to hand him over to Botswana without this assurance.
He dismissed the appeal by South Africa's ministers of home affairs and justice, re-affirming a previous judgment which set a precedent in this regard.
The precedent-setting judgment related to Khalfan Mohamed, who was wanted by the US in connection with the bombing of its embassy in Tanzania in 1998.
The Constitutional Court ruled previously that even if there was an extradition agreement between South Africa and the US, he could not be handed over without an agreement that he would not face the death penalty.
Friday's ruling related to Botswana citizens Emmanuel Tsebe and Jerry Phale, who had entered South Africa allegedly after murdering family members in separate cases.
Tsebe has since died.
Phale's attorney Jacob van Garderen said it was important to affirm that there would not be an extradition to a country where people faced the death penalty, without such an agreement.
"The court again emphasised that the imposition of the death penalty is unconstitutional, in line with the judgment of Mohamed."
Van Garderen said Friday's judgment meant Phale no longer faced the immediate risk of being extradited.
"But nothing stops the (Botswana) government from making a new request." – Sapa

Chazon: Divine Communication
The Hebrew word for vision is chazon. This word is found most often in the Old Testament books of the prophets. As both Joel 2 and Acts 2 indicate, visions are one of the ways God communicates with His people. One of the other ways is, of course, through Scripture. God wants us to build on the solid foundation of His Word (see Matt. 7:24-25), both written and revealed.
The heart of the Father is to lift us up to the Rock that is higher than we are (Ps. 61:2) and give us divine perspective in the midst of a world full of confusion and chaos. He loves us and wants to lift us above the storms and carry us in His arms. He wants a people open and available for His divine communication—a people to whom He can reveal the truths of His Word and who will partner with Him to fulfill His purposes.
Are you open to God's voice? Are you available to spend time listening to Him? Are you walking in obedience to the things He has spoken? These are questions we must ask ourselves, to examine our lives and know if we are listening to the One who is speaking.
A Shaking Foundation
Matthew 7:26-27 says, "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall" (NASB). Beloved, this is the state of our nation. We have neglected the Word of God, we have ignored His principles and precepts, and like never before, our foundations are failing.
In April, a Wisconsin judge ruled that the National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional. The National Day of Prayer is a tradition by which our nation's leaders (dating back to our first president, George Washington) could set aside a day to acknowledge God and seek His protection and providence for our land. Although there will be many appeals to the ruling and the final outcome is unknown, this judge's ruling was one more event in a long line of efforts to remove God and His Word from our national traditions. The biblical principles this nation was founded on are being removed from our national identity. How, then, will we be able to stand against the storms?
Hebrews 12:26-29 tells us that God will shake the heavens and the earth in order to remove those things that can be shaken, so that only His unshakable kingdom can remain. Listen to this warning in verse 25, "See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking, for if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven."
This Scripture indicates that it is a prophetic people, those who hear the voice of God and obey, who will be able to withstand the shaking. This is the people God wants us to be. Those who refuse Him will be shaken with the failing foundations of men. But those who build their foundations on the Word of God will stand firm upon the Rock.
Prophetic Wisdom
When we are tuned in to the voice of God, we will be able to walk with wisdom in the days ahead. The perspective and insight our Father gives us will enable us to understand the times we live in and apply the wisdom necessary to navigate our lives. As Matthew 7 tells us, it is the wise man who builds his house upon the Rock.
Proverbs 4:5 tells us, "Get wisdom, get understanding, do not forget my words or swerve from them" (NIV). Wisdom is to know how to apply God's truth to our everyday lives. When our economy is failing, God wants to give us practical wisdom for our finances. When our political system is shaking, God wants to give us wisdom to choose leaders committed to the right foundations. When confusion, uncertainty, and fear are all around us, God wants to give us wisdom to live with peace and purpose, leading others to the foundation of Christ.
James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." The promise of prophetic vision is for all. The provision of prophetic wisdom is for all. In these troubled times, don't get caught without God's vision. Don't get caught without wisdom.
Like the little child in my dream, let the Father lift you up upon His shoulders. Let Him give you His perspective and vision. Listen to His voice and build your foundation on His Word. And live a life of wisdom that will draw others to the unshakable foundation of Christ.

SAN MARCOS, Calif. - Jessica Long floated in a goal with just under 13 minutes left to play and The Master's College women's soccer team made it stand up as the Mustangs stunned 13th-ranked Cal State San Marcos Wednesday evening in San Marcos.
It was the Mustangs' second win over an NAIA Top 25 team in less than two weeks. The club defeated No. 16 Trinity Christian of Illinois 2-0 in the season opener on August 18. The big road win snapped a two-game winless streak and put the Mustangs over the .500 mark at 2-1-1.
Long's goal at the 77:01 mark capped off an evening in which the Mustangs had several scoring chances, especially in the first half, while outshooting the Cougars 8-6. Three of those shots were on goal and Long's tally was the only one that made into the net. Taking a pass from Ashlea Andrade, the Wailuku, Hawaii, native put the ball over the arms of Cougar goalie Amanda Sears from 20 yards out for the game-winner.
That proved to be enough as the Mustang defense kept the Cougars from getting a shot off the rest of the way. In fact, the Cougars failed to put a shot on goal all evening and Mustang keeper Ilyssa Espiritu registered her second shutout of the early season.
After three straight road matches, the Mustangs now return home to take on Occidental on Labor Day. Kickoff is set for 11:00am on Reese Field.

Case Study You are a consultant working with a dental office that has just merged with another dental practice. The original office housed 3 dentists, 2 dental assistants, and 1 receptionist in one location. With the merger, there are now 5 offices in different parts of the city, 15 dentists, 12 dental assistants, and 5 receptionists. Four of the dentists work in the offices, but also are mobile in that they provide dental checkups to elderly patients in their homes or at the senior citizen centers, and to school children in the three inner-city elementary schools. The mobile dentists need to be able to send and receive patient records while they are out of the office. All the dentists and dental assistants must have real-time access to all patient records and daily schedules. The lead dentist has reminded you that they are required to meet HIPAA requirements for protecting patient information. You, as a telecommunications specialist, have been asked to design the telecommunications network to support this new multi-location practice. Others on the team will develop the applications and databases. Your task is to identify the requirements and design a network solution that will meet those requirements. The Deliverable Define the requirements and then design an appropriate network that would support this dental practice. Your paper should: 1. Analyze the given case and provide a clear set of requirements for the network solution 2. Identify the information that is to be protected and the related security requirements 3. Identify the types of network(s), components, devices and equipment that would be involved in meeting the needs of the stationary offices and the mobile dentists 4. Provide a network design diagram that clearly shows an appropriate network configuration to meet the requirements, with components properly labeled 5. Explain the benefits of the proposed network solution Your deliverable will be a three- to four-page paper. The page requirement includes illustrations or diagrams, but does not count the cover page and references page. The paper is to be prepared using the APA format and to include at least three (3) academically credible references plus the class textbook and the course modules. Information from your research should be appropriately incorporated into your written work in your own words and properly cited. Extensive use of direct quotes is not permitted.

Summary note:
"Combining the soul-baring insight of Wild, the profound wisdom of Shop Class as Soulcraft, and the adventurous spirit of Eat, Pray, Love, Lynn Darling's powerful, lyrical memoir of self-discovery, full of warmth and wry humor, Out of the Woods. When her college-bound daughter leaves home, Lynn Darling, widowed over a decade earlier, finds herself alone--and utterly lost, with no idea of what she wants or even who she is. Searching for answers, she leaves New York for the solitary woods of Vermont. Removed from the familiar, cocooned in the natural world, her only companions a new dog and a compass, she hopes to develop a sense of direction--both in the woods and in her life. Hiking unmapped trails, Darling meditates on the milestones of her past; as she adapts to her new surroundings, she uses the knowledge she's gained to chart her future. And when an unexpected setback nearly derails her newfound balance, she is able to draw upon her newfound skills to find her bearings and stay the course. In revealing how one woman learned to navigate--literally and metaphorically--the uneven course of life, Out of the Woods is, in the words of Pulitzer-prize winning author Geraldine Brooks, 'a marvelous book; both a compass and a manifesto for navigating the often-treacherous switchbacks of the second half of life'"-- Provided by publisher.

Tonight's show opened with Ryan promising the titillating news that we'd see a contestants eliminated tonight due to issues with law enforcement. I was aware of this upcoming circus and grossed out by it. However, it turns out that after tonight's episode of bafflingly lackluster song choices ("songs from the year they were born"), maybe a little law and order was actually what the episode needed to spice things up a bit.
The first third of the show got off to a ho-hum start. I give Phillip Phillips credit for fighting kidney stones/surgery to deliver a very competent version of "Hard To Handle," but he also brought nothing new to the song. Plus, I like him a little bit less each time the judges treat him like a special snowflake. Randy said he was a "fish out of water" in the competition. NO HE IS NOT.
Jessica Sanchez chose "Turn The Beat Around" and you know it's a bad sign when the judges (and critic) praise your sparkly pants before your performance. I was happy to hear her sing an up-tempo song, but it didn't showcase her vocal ability: The performance was a bit messy and shouty. The judges even agreed, Randy pointing out that Jessica's vibrato doesn't need to be so l-a-a-a-a-rge all the time. Jessica blamed a dearth of good song choices, which never elicits much sympathy from me.
Ryan smirked at the concept of HeeJun singing a Richard Marx song, which is another bad omen: when Seacrest thinks you're cheesy. I think HeeJun is delightful when he's talking but pretty snoozeworthy when he's singing. Tonight's "Right Here Waiting" was no better, although the performance was sprinkled with a few off-notes to put the judges especially out of sorts. I did like HeeJun's pink shirt and tie combo, though.
Did Elise come back tonight? I'll say…mostly. She sang "Let's Stay Together" and I really liked the Carole King-type quiet beginning of the song, but then it picked back up into the upbeat, wedding-style version of the song we all know. Elise's voice sounded great (aside from a little modulation toward the end) and she definitely seemed happier than she did last week, but I still don't think we saw everything we could from her.
Then we got back to the song snafus. DeAndre originally wanted to sing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" but Jimmy and Will.I.Am convinced him to go with "Endless Love," a sleepy choice if there was one. Actually, at the beginning of the song I liked hearing DeAndre sing in an understated manner, but unfortunately, it never climbed to much of an exciting build. I liked that DeAndre didn't blame Will.I.Am and Jimmy for the song, though, even though the judges gave him an out.
Jimmy tried to talk Shannon Magrane into singing "Don't Speak" through some completely seamless product placement ("In this huge recording studio, I'm going to play this song for you on my tiny phone!") but she ultimately went with "One Sweet Day," which I suspect Shannon chose because it sounds churchy. She's 16 years old and she picks these boring ballads: "Don't Speak" would have been a much more interesting choice. Shannon sang better than last week but at least last week her weakness made her interesting. I wish she could act her age more when she performs.
Colton Dixon took a chance on a not-very-well-known song called "Broken Heart" by White Lion. Colton's like Phillip to me: I don't like what he does very much, but he does it well. His voice is strong but he whines in that emo manner that David Cook introduced on the show. Steven flat-out hated the song choice, Jennifer loved it and Randy came in between, and somehow I agreed with all three of them. Colton didn't make a terrible decision with the song, but he didn't make me want to check out more of White Lion's deep cuts.
Erika sang Bryan Adams' "Heaven" and I guess I must have been tuned into Jennifer Lopez's sartorial style because we both noted that Erika looked her best so far tonight: The Stevie Nicks look works for her. Erika's got a great voice for a power ballad but the performance lacked a little bit of authority, perhaps partially due to the arrangement. Steven and Jennifer were a little lukewarm on the performance but Randy enjoyed it. He advised her not to always listen to people (Jimmy) who tell her to change songs' arrangements, which sets up an interesting conundrum: who would you listen to, Jimmy or Randy?
I was all excited for Skylar to sing an Aerosmith song when Ryan mentioned that she was born the same year one of their albums was released, but instead she sang "Love Sneakin' Up On You" by Bonnie Raitt, despite Jimmy and Will.I.Am once again second-guessing a song choice (they offered her a Hootie and the Blowfish song!) I agreed with Jennifer that Skylar could have picked a song with a stronger chorus, but she did what she does and I'm a fan: She belts and she's got great confidence. I liked that she cozied up to her backup singers.
Like with Phillip, the judges' praise sullied Joshua's performance for me. I've been a fan of Joshua but I thought he want a scosh over the top with "When A Man Loves A Woman." (Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, Richard Marx all representing tonight—and why did it possibly feel snoozy?) If Joshua takes it to that level with every performance from now on, I don't know that I can keep cheering for him. When the judges gave him a standing ovation and Jennifer declared it the "best thing I've ever seen on American Idol," I started thinking, "All right, calm down." Am I crazy? Was it really that amazing or did the judges overpraise? And do you think that entire bucket was really filled with crawfish or was it just full of ice with a thin layer of shellfish on top?
Hollie came out last for "The Power Of Love," and between the running order and the song choice, I expected a lot. Hollie, like Shannon, is another singer who I wish would sing younger and have a little more fun onstage, but between her gigantic bedazzled ball gown and the cheesy synthesizer-heavy arrangement of the song, I certainly didn't feel the "moment" the judges claimed to hear. It wasn't bad, but she can do better. I agreed with her brother who gave the ironic "so-so" hand gesture after the performance.
Before it was all over, we learned (some of) story regarding the contestant getting prematurely kicked off. I read the gossip last night and knew that Jermaine was going home, although what he did, exactly, is unclear aside from the fact that he has four warrants out for his arrest and that some of that has to do with giving a fake name to the police. The whole situation stunk: The show looks like it brought Jermaine back for the performance episodes just to publicly shame him, despite the producers' claims that they weren't judging Jermaine, since having four active warrants out is just "part of what kids go through today." From a legal perspective, yes, of course the producers don't want someone wanted by the police performing on the show and making money, but the way the situation was milked for drama was not the show's final moment. If anything, we learned that you should not refer to someone as a "gentle" giant until you are absolutely positive he has not been arrested for fighting.
After all the singing was over, Randy declared that Joshua would be safe tomorrow and predicted that HeeJun would be in danger, while the other judges were too lame to pick who's going home. I agree that HeeJun may be in danger along with the two older gals, Elise and Erika, just because I don't see America's young jerks picking up the phone for a couple of old broads week after week.
Stray observations:
- I like Jennifer's tangerine dress and fuschia lip combo.
- My favorite family stories were: Mr. Phillips getting choked up about sick baby Phillip; Mrs. Han crying about smiling baby HeeJun; Joe Magrane singing "Thumbelina"; Mrs. Dixon's full face of makeup in the hospital after having baby Colton; the story about Erika singing the National Anthem before playing a baseball game; Skylar's mom saying "Sklar was a mess."
- I think DeAndre was the cutest baby.
- Did Will.I.Am contribute much of value tonight aside from the word "swaggernaut"? He was no Mary J. Blige, that's for sure.
- Ryan, after Crystal Bowersox and Jason Castro, you should know what an actual dreadlock is.
- I liked Will.I.Am and Joshua commiserating about church and their tough moms.
- The final, slow-motion scene of Jermaine's car driving off to him singing "Somewhere Out There" was unintentionally hilarious.

New York City, July 7, 2014
★★★★ A pigeon puffed up and hunkered down in the top level of the fountain. The heat was baking, but still not crushing or unbearable; it raised a sweat but not a soaking one. A seed puff floated along at a companionable pedestrian rate till it reached the windward edge of a dumpster and sank. Cold streams of air conditioning crossed the sidewalk. On the subway, a bright-eyed young woman told a young man on other side of the doorway that she was heading to the beach, that she was going to see a movie there, that her birthday had just passed. They smiled back and forth and chatted for a few stops, and then they lapsed into the silence of strangers and he put his earbuds in. A man with a bucket partially tore down some posters from a plywood barrier, then started brushing on a poster of his own. The air conditioning drip pattered on the awning of the office entrance. It was still baking hot as the sun lowered, blindingly. A wash of taxi-colored light passed all the way under a cab, lighting the Broadway pavement. Late at night, the orange sky was raked with lightning bolts. Their shapes registered through eyelids, on uncorrected and astigmatic eyes. Rain crunched against the windows.

The NSW corruption watchdog will hold a public inquiry over allegations that former NSW mineral resources minister
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is currently investigating corruption allegations that accused murderer and property developer
In a statement on Wednesday, ICAC said it would delay completing and publishing its Operation Jarilo investigation report pending an examination of further allegations against Mr Macdonald.
ICAC is yet to decide whether corrupt conduct as alleged has been established against Mr Macdonald in relation to his dealings with Mr Medich and associate Lucky Gattellari.
ICAC said it had been investigating further allegations that corrupt conduct had occurred in connection with the granting of certain coal-mining tenements in NSW.
"The nature of the allegations ... is such that the commission has decided it is in the public interest to hold a public inquiry," ICAC said.
A key allegation against Mr Macdonald relates to the Doyles Creek exploration licence, which was issued to a company part-owned by former union boss John Maitland on Christmas Eve 2008, when he was minister.
The NSW government referred the awarding of the Doyles Creek licence to ICAC last November after an independent investigation it commissioned found that there had been "a circumstantial case of wrongdoing and a breach of public trust".
The investigation found that Mr Maitland enlisted senior labour figures, including Greg Combet and Sharan Burrow, to get clearance for a facility to train miners in the NSW Hunter Valley, a project which generated millions for himself.
After the state government approved the educational facility at Doyles Creek, Mr Maitland's company established there was 500 million tonnes of coal at the site and sold the rights over the deposits to listed
Mr Maitland's shareholding in NuCoal is currently worth about $8.6 million.
Mr Maitland did not respond to calls from The Australian Financial Review.
ICAC has interviewed those who gave their support for a training mine at Doyles Creek, including Newcastle Trades Hall Council secretary Gary Kennedy.
Mr Kennedy did not have a financial interest in the project but publicly supported Mr Maitland's training mine concept.
Mr Kennedy claims he had no knowledge of Mr Maitland's financial interest in the Doyles Creek project and welcomed the public inquiry.
"A public inquiry into any allegations of impropriety are the appropriate way to deal with things," he said.
Former CFMEU Mining and Energy general secretary Peter Murray said he had no problem with Mr Maitland's financial windfall in the Doyles Creek project.
Mr Murray had supported Mr Maitland's push for a training mine at Doyles Creek.
"It was the right thing for the government to do," Mr Murray said.
"The industry needed it (a training mine in the Hunter Valley)."
ICAC said there was a similarity between issues raised in Operation Jarilo and those in the coal-mining tenement allegations.
ICAC is yet to set a date for a public inquiry.

All Pro Freight Stadium (map it)
2009 Baseball Blvd
Avon, OH 44011
All Pro Freight Stadium website
Year Opened: 2009
Capacity: 5,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Paul Swaney, Stadium Journey Co-Founder
The Lake Erie Crushers began their existence in 2009 as a member of the Frontier League, an independent professional baseball league. In their first year, they won the league title. Their home is All Pro Freight Stadium, an accessible park found in Avon, Ohio, just west of Cleveland.
The park features a turf surface that I am not particularly fond of, but the park overall provides good entertainment value and affordability. Besides being the home of the Crushers, All Pro Freight Stadium hosted the 2012 MAC Baseball Tournament, where it is scheduled to be played in 2013 as well.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The Crushers offer mostly your basic ballpark fare, with a few interesting items down the first base line. I tried the Gooey-Mooey ($5.50) from the Grand Slam Grill. It is a hamburger placed between two grilled cheese sandwiches. I thought the concept was great, but the product was pretty so-so. There are other interesting items found at the grill, and I would be curious to try more including the Pierogi Hoagie ($9), Tuscan Burger ($6), and Cheese & Swine ($5.50).
There are two main concession stands that serve the basics. You can find a "Stadium" Dog ($3), Jumbo hot dog ($4), brat ($4.50), Italian Sausage ($4.50), and cheeseburger ($5) here.
Pepsi provides the soft drinks at All Pro Freight Stadium ($2.50 or $3.50). Beer is affordably priced ($3.75/$4.75) with LaBatt, Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Bud Light being the primary options. There is also a Yuengling stand, and they were serving Jello shots ($2) from a small stand down the first base side of the concourse.
If you come early, the Crushers offer Happy "Hour" for the first half hour that the park is open, and drinks are just $1.
That atmosphere was pretty fun overall with the promotions director (Michael Keefe) doing a good job of being enthusiastic without being ridiculous on the field as the emcee of several games held throughout the contest.
Seats are green plastic with above average legroom, but no cup holders. There are also tables for four available along the concourse ($64 per game), and is a good option if you want to be able to socialize while watching the game.
This is a very walkable stadium, and the outfield walls are fairly low to the concourse. I enjoy standing along the fence in right field, or in left field where there is a lone drink bar to place your beverage or food.
The berm in left field is almost exceedingly high, but seemed to be a popular spot. Fans can bring in their own lawn chairs and/or blankets.
The scoreboard is very basic, with just the line score available for fans to keep up with the stats of the game.
There is nothing in the immediate area surrounding All Pro Freight Stadium. However, it is just a short drive into downtown Avon. I made a stop at a place called Two Bucks, so-called because most of the beers on their menu, and a few of the food items, are only $2. It's an unpretentious little place with several flat screens and pretty decent food. The price is right, so if you are looking for a place to spend some time before or after a game, I can recommend Two Bucks.
I also received recommendations for the Nemo Grille and Strip Steakhouse if you are looking for more of a sit down restaurant, and affordability is less of an issue.
It always impresses me when I find fans at independent professional baseball games that really seem to be vested in the outcome. My most recent visit occurred on a Tuesday night, but there were plenty of fans covering the berm, and filling a majority of the seats behind home plate. You can expect a good mix of families, regular season ticket holders, and just people out to enjoy the weather with a baseball game as a distraction, but overall it is a fun and engaged group
All Pro Freight Stadium is visible from I-90, and just a short drive once you get off at Exit 151. Parking was posted as being $3, but when I arrived no one was collecting money. I assume I just got lucky because I arrived so early.
The stadium itself is very easy to navigate, and restrooms are large enough to handle the crowd and are clean.
Most tickets are only $9, and berm seats are only $6. I was surprised that ushers asked to see my ticket on two different occasions during my visit, although in the one case where I was seated in a different location than my ticket indicated, the usher didn't seem to be very concerned. My guess is they don't want people buying berm seats, then upgrading themselves, so be aware that where you are ticketed may matter. Overall though, the prices are reasonable.
I would recommend sitting on the third base side as that is where you'll get the most shade. Overall, when you add in the ticket, parking, a drink, food, and a program ($1), you should budget for $23 per person for a game at All Pro Freight Stadium.
One extra point for the half hour of reduced drinks. It is a good way to get fans to the park early. I was disappointed to find though that the kids play area required fans to pay a charge for their child to spend time in the bounce houses they had inflated. Most teams choose to make things like this free, and it would be a much better draw if the Crushers decided to do so.
Overall, a trip to see the Lake Erie Crushers at All Pro Freight Stadium is a fine way to spend an evening. They do a good job with their promotions and have several discounts throughout the week to help with the affordability of the trip. This isn't a ballpark you need to travel out of your way to see, but if you live in the area or are visiting, then it's a worthwhile place to see some baseball.

Member Review by paul on May 25, 2012
Recently attended the MAC Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium. It was a little underwhelming as a facility, although I did like the seating, including the tables and chairs above the seating areas on the concourse.
The food was just average, and overall it is sort of a ho-hum stadium. I'll be doing a review of the experience of the MAC Tournament at this facility, but I'll be interested to go back to see the Crushers and see how it compares.
