Gun Found At Wichita Airport
Associated Press - May 20, 2015 5:58 am
Wichita officials say an auction of items from the city's old Mid-Continent Airport terminal is expected to net about $83,000.
Security officers have found a loaded handgun in a carry-on bag at Wichita's Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.
Local media outlets report a .380 caliber Smith & Wesson Bodyguard firearm was found loaded with six rounds on Monday. Wichita Airport Police took the weapon and interviewed the passenger, who was allowed to continue on his flight.
The Transportation Security Administration says firearms are allowed in checked bags, if declared to the airline and properly packed in a locked, hard-sided container. TSA can levy a civil penalty of up to $11,000 against a passenger who brings a firearm through a security checkpoint.
This is the third firearm discovered during a checkpoint security screening at the Eisenhower National Airport this year.

AN overwhelming number of people who voted in a ballot over the future of Yarm want the town to return to its Yorkshire roots.
Huge queues formed as polling stations opened for people to decide if they wanted to leave Stockton and join Hambleton District and North Yorkshire councils.
The result was reported around 11pm on Tuesday night and although 89 per cent of those backed such a move it is not legally binding.
Loading article content
The campaign was organised by the group Yarm 4 Yorkshire. A total of 1,644 people voted and turnout was 24 per cent.
Heather Fowler, who was one of the first people to cast her vote at Levendale Primary School, said: "I certainly voted to rejoin Yorkshire because that is where we belong."
Residents of the town have become disgruntled with decisions being made by Stockton council which they feel are not in the best interests of Yarm.
Neil Snowdon, who also voted in support of the campaign, said: "It was most definitely a yes from me, there really is no other option as far as I'm concerned."
Polling stations were at Levendale Primary School, Challoner House, Yarm Primary School, Yarm Library, Layfield Primary School. No polling cards have been issued and no postal votes taken.

Another Tasty Addition to the Modern Mopar Fleet
When Rodney Carter saved this Road Runner from a Houston junkyard in 1977, he had no idea it would someday be transformed into one of the best examples of modern Mopar street machining we've seen yet. We'll say this gently, but it seems the Mopar crowd has been trapped in a bit of a time warp.
Granted, the numbers-matching restorations and all-out competition machinery are the equal of anything from any other camp, but when it comes to the area in between, it's like most guys are stuck in the mid-'80s. Orange brake drums, 14-inch Center Lines, air shocks, and bogus wheelie bars are as stale as a Foghat eight-track, which is why Rodney's Runner and the new breed of overdrive-equipped, disc-braked, tastefully detailed Mopars stand out among the crowd.
At the time of its boneyard rescue, Rodney was an 18-year-old high school senior who wanted the rare drop-top so badly he even tried to hock his trumpet to raise the $125 asking price. But Mom got wind of the plan and insisted Rodney keep the honker. Instead, she loaned him the money and the Runner was his. With only eight seasons under its belt, the relatively new Plymouth had been spun out in traffic and clobbered by at least two other cars. There were dents all over the body but not a speck of rust. The original 383 wedge was present but needed a fistful of replacement pushrods and a starter before it would run.
By 1982 Rodney and best pal James Baker got ahold of an ISCA rulebook and decided to hit the show circuit with their sights set on the Semi-Custom Post War Convertible category. With 28 coats of hand-rubbed flip-flop gold pearl, the car won Best of Show at the '82 Waco Street Machine Mini Nationals and placed 10th in the Autorama South Division in 1983. Though Rodney enjoyed showing the car, in 1989 he took it completely apart with the intention of transforming it into, as he puts it, "a mild custom street car with a touring car flair. But it had to have a Hemi." Little did he know the car would remain in pieces for the next 10 years.
Though Mopar Performance was gearing up to produce a few 426 Hemi parts back in the late '80s, the highly popular pick-a-size, write-a-check crate engine program as we know it today was still a spark on the horizon. That meant Rodney had to cobble his Elephant together from used parts. Though he scored a nice short-block from a wrecked '70 Road Runner (dated 1-14-70 for all you number-crunchers) a set of ex-Top Alcohol iron heads turned into a nightmare when an intake valve broke shortly after the car returned to service in 2002. Fortunately, by then the MP aluminum Hemi replacement heads (PN P4529336) were available to solve the problem … and cut front-end weight by 50 pounds. Another unintended benefit of having the project drag out for a decade is that by the time Rodney was set to install the transmission, Keisler Automotive Engineering (Knoxville, TN; 865/609-8187) had arrived on the scene with its Tremec TKO five-speed overdrive conversion kit. So instead of suffering the slow-lane blues with the original three-speed 727 TorqueFlite automatic, the Runner can cruise at 80 in the fast lane without breaking a sweat, a feat we witnessed personally during Power Tour 2003. And with 3.54 gears in the Dana 60 rear axle, theoretical top speed with the 0.83:1 overdrive ratio is well over a buck-sixty. Of course the Z-rated rolling stock, lowered suspension, stiff sway bars, and four-wheel-disc binders balance the power and increase the safety margin significantly. So much that seemingly irresponsible acts really aren't, if you know what we mean.
As nice as the moving parts are, the Bird's body is an exquisite combination of restoration cues and traditional customizing. Look closely and you'll see that the door handles, locks, and emblems have been shaved (except for the proud Hemi badges on the hood) and the filler panel between the grille and front bumper has been molded to the fenders to give the body a one-piece look.
Under hood, the firewall, fender aprons, and radiator core support have been massaged to eliminate spot welds, wrinkles, and seams. But the thing most people see without noticing is how the rear quarter-panels have been bulged outward 2 full inches between the bumper and door cut lines for added tire clearance. Look again, if the car suddenly looks more muscular than other '69 Plymouth B-Bodies, now you know why. The detail even extends beneath the body where the floorpan is painted the same shade of '93 Lexus Red Garnet Pearl Metallic as the rest of the car.
When it comes to the interior, many rod builders drop the ball and relax the level of execution. After all, a steel roof covers it up and interior details tend to take a back seat, pun intended, to the rest of the car. But on this see-all convertible, Rodney worked with Shawn Cook of Cook's Auto Top & Trim to sustain the modern energy. The result complements the Plymouth's unique bucket seats and metal top sills with hand-stitched ivory leather panels featuring delicate pleats. A full-length console divides the interior and plays host to the cool Keisler's five-speed stickshift while trick hand-sculpted door latches and armrests add character. A digital instrument panel and hidden stereo equipment completely transform the dash area.
In the trunk, the seams and rain gutters have been smoothed and leather upholstered panels cover the factory contours and mini-tubbed (2 inches) wheelhouses. Pop the trunk on a Bentley Arnage, and this is about what you'll see. Clearly Rodney's years of ISCA competition have left him with a hypersensitive eye for getting the details right. Before you dismiss this one as just another trailered show poodle, check out the photos and dyno test sidebar. After years of sweating the show circuit, Rodney's joined the go circuit and says he gets the most enjoyment driving the car. Proof of the pudding is how he ran the entire 1,500-mile '03 HOT ROD Power Tour. Rain or shine, this Runner rolls.
Dyno Thrash: 7,000 rpm the Hard Way
With 426 ci of rompin' stompin' Hemi on board, Rodney Carter's Road Runner has plenty of suds. But Rodney needed to know exactly how much, so he threw the keys to the Werx Motorsports Castrol mobile chassis dyno operator during the Red River Raceway stop in Louisiana on Power Tour 2003. As a light rain started to fall, the big Comp TAs churned the roller gently through First gear, Second gear, Third gear, and then into Fourth (1:1). With the roller and Runner in harmony, the dyno operator mashed down on the gas pedal and the Hemi bellowed, posting 344 hp and 409 lb-ft at the tires (about 450 hp at the flywheel). But when the test cycle was completed and the gas pedal was released, it stuck to the floor! For a harrowing 15 seconds the motor screamed against the 7,000-rpm chip in the MSD 6AL before the dyno man simply killed the ignition with the key. In the immediate aftermath an eerie silence fell on the crowd of onlookers, and the only sounds were the falling rain and the sickly gurgle of green coolant gushing from the front of the engine. Rodney uncovered his eyes and slowly walked toward the car wondering; "Why did it stay at WOT for so long, and where is that coolant coming from?"
The facts quickly came to light. When fully depressed, the gas pedal got stuck behind an apron on the custom console causing the moon shot, bridled only by the life-saving 7,000-rpm chip in the MSD 6AL. The coolant loss wasn't caused by an exit wound in the block; rather the high-volume water pump, operating double-time, blew the upper radiator hose off the thermostat housing. A few minutes later the hose connection was restored, Rodney crossed his fingers, toes, and eyes for good luck, and turned the ignition key. Though he half-expected to hear a symphony of rattling rod bearings and bent pushrods, the Hemi seemed just fine as it settled into a calm idle. A few blips of the throttle failed to reveal any bad sounds. Rodney drove it off the dyno and continued on the Power Tour, the motor running as if nothing happened. Tough as nails, that Hemi is.

First, at the top of the page you will now find a category entitled, Coming to Grips... This section will be constantly updated with the latest information about a new book which was released in the fall of 2008 which was written in honor of Dr. John Whitcomb -- Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth.
Then, near the bottom of the page, there is a new category entitled, Teaching Others. Links will be placed here to provide information on the accomplishments of Dr. Whitcomb's former seminary students. He has taught hundreds of students, and they cannot all be listed here. However, if you know of someone who you think should be included, please contact Whitcomb Ministries with his information. These entries will demonstrate the tremendous stewardship in the truth that God has entrusted to Dr. Whitcomb, and the impact he has made by his teaching.
Recently we added two more brand new categories entitled Biography & History and Foreign Language. These will lead readers to Web pages with great information about Dr. Whitcomb's legacy in the history of Bible-believing Christianity and his involvement in attempting to spread God's truth to the ends of the earth, respectively.
The category Bibles & Books has been added to separate these Links from the more general category, Biblical Resources. We have also added a new Articles category, linking you to numerous published articles by and about Dr. Whitcomb.
Also, we have removed the Churches category. While we appreciate the churches that had been listed there, along with information about the messages that Dr. Whitcomb has preached in them, it is unreasonable to list only a small number among the hundreds of churches where Dr. Whitcomb has enjoyed ministries throughout the years. Churches that continue to have an ongoing connection to Whitcomb Ministries will be listed in other categories.
The Schools category will also be updated continually to reflect a list of Bible institutes, colleges and seminaries in which Dr. Whitcomb has ministered recently or which he visits on a regular basis.

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost

Mushy lands England role
Former Pakistan and Sussex maestro Mushtaq Ahmed has been appointed as England's new spin bowling coach.
Last Updated: 23/10/08 4:04pm
Former Pakistan and Sussex leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has been appointed as England's new spin bowling coach.
The recently-retired 38-year-old has been hired on a consultancy basis by the England and Wales Cricket Board to work with both the Test and one-day squads, along with the Performance Programme.
Mushtaq was the driving force behind Sussex's recent success in the County Championship with three titles coming during his six-year spell, but he announced his retirement in August due to a knee injury.
Former England spin coach and current ECB performance director David Parsons was delighted with the appointment of such an experienced campaigner.
"We are very excited that a bowler of Mushtaq's standing within the game has decided to join our team of specialist coaches based at the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough," said Parsons.
"He will have a role to play at all levels of the game.
"His primary task will be to mentor our leading spin bowlers in the Test, one-day and performance squads but we also believe he can help encourage youngsters at the grassroots of the game to take up and learn the art of spin-bowling."
ECB managing director Hugh Morris says Mushtaq's wealth of experience will help guide the current and next generation of England spinners.
"It's critical that we nurture and develop the next generation of England spin bowlers using the expertise and knowledge of former players such as Mushtaq," said Morris.
"Spin has been integral to the success of the world's best cricket teams and we are keen to ensure that there is a constant flow of spin-bowling talent into the England set-up."
Mushtaq broke the 100-wicket mark in 2003 to help Sussex win a first ever County Championship, and he then repeated the feat in 2006 as Sussex again took the title - before helping in their successful defence 12 months later.
Overall Mushtaq ended his career with 185 wickets in 52 Tests and 161 in 144 ODIs for Pakistan, while he ended his first-class career with 1,407 scalps from 309 matches.
He already has some coaching experience having worked as an assistant during Bob Woolmer's time in charge of Pakistan.

The Sleeping Beauty at the London Coliseum, WC2
As the new artistic director of English National Ballet, the Spanish-born ballerina Tamara Rojo is her own boss. And, as shown on the London press night of the dance company's production of Kenneth MacMillan's version of the ultimate fairytale ballet, despite any other pressing duties she's far from ready to hang up her pointe shoes.
Rojo of course remains a box-office draw. Ardent fans probably already know that she's scheduled to dance the role of Aurora again on January 13 and 19.
Her entrance in the first act was greeted with applause before most of the audience could even see her. At 38, Rojo comes across not as a girlish princess but more of what she herself is, a young woman in her prime: gracious,…

A MUM of two will take part in the Great East Swim later this month to raise money for a little-known condition affecting the nervous system.
Both of Sarah Storkey's teenage daughters were diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease last year.
The disease, also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, is a progressive, incurable condition affecting nerves in the arms and legs, causing sufferers to experience muscle weakness and motor problems.
Sarah has been training hard for the one-mile Great East Swim, on June 21, at Alton Water Reservoir, Suffolk.
Sarah, 37, from Rochford, said: "Day to day tasks can be difficult for the girls and they struggle with chronic fatigue and a lack of dexterity.
"After their diagnosis I decided to undertake a year-long physical fundraising challenge to raise £2,000 for CMT UK.
"I began the challenge in September, CMT UK's awareness month, and have since swum 15km and cycled 50km every month, so far raising more than £1,000."

"We are already a world class market. We have zero tolerance for anything that is improper. Integrity is the backbone of any market. We will bring everyone to book if they do anything wrong," Arunma Oteh, director-general of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission told CNBC Africa.
The Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index published in 2013 measured Africa's top GDP countries, South Africa and Nigeria, with high corruption figures of 42 and 25 respectively.
The index included 177 countries with scores that indicated perceived corruption levels within the nations' public sector on a scale of 0-100. With zero meaning that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 100 as corruption free.
However, Oteh believes that integration within the African security commission can assist eradicate corruption within the continent's business environment.
"[African] market regulators must be members of the International Organisation of Security commissions. We share information on integrity issues to build onto world class capital market standards," she said.
(READ MORE:Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission partners with IFC)
She believes that 95 per cent of the world markets are transparent to member states and the openness of this information can contribute to African economic growth.
"We have been endorsing collaboration among regulators and authorities to create opportunities for common growth. Nigeria and South Africa have been board members of the world wide body," said Oteh.
The next step to African economic growth would be to focus on improving the capital market sector. Wealth distribution could be broadened through listed companies who have mid-term or long-term funded finance infrastructure.
"Africa has been growing at five per cent over the last decade and Nigeria has been growing at seven per cent. Wealth on the markets can be distributed more broadly and individuals can invest in stock markets around the African continent," she explained.
(READ MORE: Nigeria's Agri sector sprouts opportunity for women)
The focus is to empower the average person to create wealth and to distribute the income, essentially the circulation and integration of the wealth within the people can grow African economies.
Umeme, a public company listed on both Nairobi and Uganda securities exchanges, is seen as a model company which demonstrates wealth distribution within the continent.
"Umeme has done very well over the last thirteen years, building bridges between countries and has provided opportunities for the average person to participate in the growth of [the company]," said Oteh.
The collaboration of African companies within the capital markets have probability to reduce corruption and increase wealth distribution within the continent.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to nominate former Procter & Gamble executive Robert McDonald as the next Veterans Affairs secretary, as the White House seeks to shore up an agency beset by treatment delays and struggling to deal with an influx of new veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
An administration official said Obama would announce McDonald's appointment today. If confirmed by the Senate, McDonald would succeed Eric Shinseki, the retired four-star general who resigned last month as the scope of the issues at veterans' hospitals became apparent.
In tapping McDonald for the post, Obama is signaling his desire to install a VA chief with broad management experience. McDonald also has a military background, graduating near the top of his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and serving as a captain in the Army, primarily in the 82nd Airborne Division.
The administration official insisted on anonymity in order to confirm McDonald's appointment before the president's announcement.
McDonald resigned abruptly from Procter & Gamble in May 2013 amid pressure from investors concerned that he was not doing enough to boost the company's performance.
McDonald, who had spent 33 years at the consumer products giant, said at the time of his retirement that he believed constant speculation about his job status had become too much of a distraction to the company.
The VA operates the largest integrated health care system in the country, with more than 300,000 fulltime employees and nearly 9 million veterans enrolled for care. But the agency has come under intense scrutiny in recent months amid reports of patients dying while waiting for appointments and of treatment delays in VA facilities nationwide.
Obama dispatched one of his top advisers, Rob Nabors, to the VA to help investigate agency issues and appointed Sloan Gibson as acting secretary while awaiting a permanent replacement.
Nabors and Gibson delivered a scathing report to Obama on Friday, citing "significant and chronic system failures" in the nation's health system. The report also portrayed the Veterans Affairs Department as a struggling agency battling a corrosive culture of distrust, lacking in resources and ill-prepared to deal with an influx of new and older veterans with a range of medical and mental health care needs.
McDonald's nomination was praised by his peers in the private sector and military.
Jim McNerney, chairman and CEO of The Boeing Company, called McDonald an "outstanding choice for this critically important position." Retired U.S. Army General Stanley McChystal, who served with McDonald in the 82nd Airborne, said the nominee's "business acumen, coupled with his dedication and love of our nation's military and veteran community, make him a truly great choice for the tough challenges we have at VA."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, called McDonald "a good man, a veteran and a strong leader with decades of experience in the private sector. With those traits, he's the kind of person who is capable of implementing the kind of dramatic, systemic change that is badly needed and long overdue at the VA."
Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in a statement that he looked forward to meeting with McDonald next week to get his views on issues he views as important.
Among them, Sanders said in a statement, "The VA needs significantly improved transparency and accountability and it needs an increased number of doctors, nurses and other medical staff so that all eligible veterans get high-quality health care in a timely manner."
McDonald led Procter & Gamble from 2009 to 2013.
McDonald is 61. A native of Gary, Ind., he grew up in Chicago and graduated from West Point in 1975 with a degree in engineering.

Allender and Tremper Longman III have together written this inductive Bible study guide to help couples build healthy and happy marriages. Through six study sessions for individuals, couples or groups, they lead you to discuss with your spouse healthy ways of expressing sexuality within marriage. Intimate Marriage Bible studies bring spouses into deeper communion with God and with each other. In marriage a man and a woman are called to leave their families of origin, to weave their individual lives into a unity and to cleave to each other. How can fallen human beings even begin to contemplate this ideal--God's ideal? These studies will help you take small but real steps toward honoring the image of God in each other and living out God's goal for marriage. As you explore and respond to Scripture together, you will discover strength and beauty in your marriage and become even more intimate companions.

Republican lawmakers lock public out of Medicaid meeting
Florida House Republicans just discussed the showdown over health care in a secret meeting in Tallahassee.
But they may not have realized a veteran Associated Press reporter was listening through the door.
AP reporter Gary Fineout held his ear to the closed door, because House leaders would not let the public see or hear what they're doing.
State law bans three or more lawmakers from discussing pending legislation behind closed doors. But the House Republicans walked right past the journalists, then locked out the media, in order to privately discuss the legislative battle over health care.
Representative John Wood chanted 'liberty' as he walked past reporters camped in the hallway.
"People have got to be able to talk to each other a little bit to understand where we are," said Ocala State Representative Dennis Baxley.
The House Republicans are fighting the Senate Republicans over health care. The Senate wants to accept federal dollars to subsidize coverage for the uninsured. These House Republicans do not.
"It's important for our members to ask questions and that's what they did," said House Speaker Steve Crisafulli. He said they did not discuss pending legislation.
But when Crisafulli was told that was overheard telling members to 'stand like a rock on the issue,' he justified his remarks by saying there is no legislation in the house on Medicaid expansion.
Crisafulli said his lawyer reviewed his talking points and that he followed the law in conducting the secret meeting.
This impasse over health care is holding up the state budget. This could trigger a state government shutdown this summer. In the meantime, Governor Scott just announced he plans to call a special session next month to try to keep the state running.

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/50976?utm_source=C...Barack Hussein Obama was aware of the CIA director's indiscretions "long before" the November 6, 2012 elections, and knew about the FBI's investigative findings weeks before the election Cover-up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
According to two well-vetted sources with intimate knowledge of the CIA operations and events in Benghazi, the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus is directly related to the testimony he was expected to provide before a closed-door hearing next week before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Sources close to the controversy, citing the need for anonymity due to theirpositions, stated that Barack Hussein Obama was aware of the CIA director's indiscretions "long before" the November 6, 2012 elections, and knew about the FBI's investigative findings weeks before the election, but "erected a firewall" to prevent any disclosure before November 6th.
"What I do know is that an integral part of that firewall involved having information on Petraeus that would potentially damage his career, legacy and marriage. A sort of political blackmail, if you will. What I don't know, but suspect, is that Petraeus was placed in the unenviable but self-inflicted position of having to choose between providing truthful testimony under oath and having his professional and personal life destroyed while systematically being impeached due to this incident, or keeping quiet before the Senate Intelligence Committee," stated one source.
A second intelligence source stated that "the announcement [of Petraeus' resignation] was carefully timed. It was announced in a Friday afternoon news dump three days after the election, and days before the Senate Intelligence Committee was to hear his testimony, despite the President having knowledge of these events weeks ago. Friday's announcement served two purposes; it kept controversy from emerging before the election, while allowing the administration to buy time regarding testimony by a federal official about CIA's involvement in Benghazi."
The resignation of David Petraeus is merely one,albeit a very high-profile one, of several coordinated moves to push any meaningful investigation into the events of Benghazi well into the future. "Obama and other high ranking officials learned many valuable lessons from Fast & Furious," a fact agreed upon by both sources. Fast & Furious is the name given to the gun running operation from the U.S. into Mexico. "They understand that the longer they can delay and obstruct the truth, reassign key personnel with important information to positions and locations that hinder any meaningful investigation, the more the public interest wanes. As the public loses interest, it also takes the pressure off Congress from getting to the bottom of things."
Both sources agreed that it is difficult to speculate whether Petraeus decided to extract himself from the leverage that the controversy had over him by the Obama regime on his terms, or whether his resignation was conducted solely by the terms of the Obama regime. Otherwise, both sources agreed that his resignation would buy the administration some valuable time, and the change in status of Petraeus as the active CIA director would also have an effect on the manner in which he is required to provide testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The change of status, from an active CIA official and governmentemployee, to a citizen bound by far reaching confidentiality agreements, would change his ability to testify before the committee. "He can also lawyer-up," added one source.
According to another CIA source, the resignation of Christopher Kubasik, president and CEO-elect of defense and aerospace company Lockheed Martin, announced on the same day as Petraeus, might have ties to the events at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "There is a relationship between Lockheed Martin and th
Ivonne, I can no more show respect for those who voted for Obama who have been informed of the facts of Benghazi, and what this occupier and his ilk have done, than I could if one of those people or Seals had been a loved one of mine, and people still voted for him. Where are those people's conscious?:
Sherry,they have been brainwahed by the secular media. Unfortunately we are all going to reaap because of their stupidity!

My son's teacher has called a conference
My son is in kindergarten in a premier private school. His teacher e-mailed me Friday and said she wanted to meet with me to discuss his progress. She has NEVER had anything negative about him to say, has always sung his praises. I don't know what to think. Should I be concerned? Should I be excited? I'm concerned becuase, OBVIOUSLY no parents WANTS to hear anything negative about their child. I'm excited because I know she's never had anything negative to say about it. I move back to concerned bcause I do NOT want to move him above his current grade and I know that, in SOME areas, he is at the academic level to move forward. In other areas, he is a NORMAL 5 year old. I have NO idea what to expect. I KNOW I have no reason to be concerned. Please talk me down. Teachers call off schedule conferences all the time, right?
P.S. At his conference, his teacher had nothing but the highest praises for him. HELP! Should I be concerned? (I'm meeting with her Tuesday.)
Edit: She did NOT reference ANY behavioral concerns. She ONLY stated that she wants to discuss his progress. Part of me fears he's falling behind while part of me is wondering if she's wanting to discuss pushing him forward. I, myself, have considered discussing the possibility of challenging him more in PARTICULAR areas. AAAAAAAAAH! I HATE not knowing!!!
I'm a teacher and I don't regularly call parent conferences just for the heck of it or to tell a parent how great their child is doing. I will have some type of agenda planned. If it's for behavior, you can bet that I have talked to the parent a few times before about behavior. There won't be any surpises. I would never surprise a parent at a conference by telling them how awful he's doing! I also wouldn't call it just to say he's doing great, I can also do that over the phone or with letters & notes sent home. Now if he's been falling slightly behind or not doing as well as he used to, I might add that to my agenda.
Whatever it is, remember, he's your child and you do not have to move him up or change his situation if you don't want to. It's kindegarten, remember that!
You will be fine, don't stress over it!
Nope, not looney tunes. Just a first time mom who is nervouse. ;-) I'm good. :-)
Quoting Anonymous:
AFter reading some of your responses to others, you sound a little looney tunes. Chill out lady. you act like a 15 year old who is afraid her parents know she smokes.

Just A Dream Part II
I remember her hair. It was like the sun, a fierce, blazing red…
As I sit cross legged in Labyrinth Cemetery, staring at her tomb, I realized that she's under there… Weird.
Why'd she pick me? That boy who was the total jerk who fell for her… She was so nice.
I remember when I first saw her. She was sitting in the back of History, chatting with her friend Liz. Oh, I had seen her before, I had just never acknowledged her. She was breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Carly, my girlfriend, caught me looking at her and snorted.
"Who, that?" She laughed. "That thing is Tabby Olson. Or, Carrot-top. Whichever one you prefer." I jerked my head her way, narrowing my eyes.
"Why do you have to that?" I snapped.

Money has started to come for a number of the longer priced hopes to win tomorrow's 2014 Melbourne Cup including early market mover Mutual Regard for former Irish jockey Johnny Murtagh.
The field for this year's $6.2 million Group 1 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200m) is down one with 23 left in the mix following the scratching of Sea Moon due to an elevated temperature earlier today.
Of the stayers still on track for a shot at the world's richest handicap when Flemington Race 7 jumps at 3:00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, the punters are coming for Murtagh's raider Mutual Regard.
One of 11 internationals looking to steal the 'Loving Trophy' this year, the Hernando six-year-old opened at $13 but is now into $11 and nearing single figure odds in the latest Melbourne Cup betting markets.
Murtagh also saddles-up drifting $81 outsider Royal Diamond to be ridden by Steven Arnold from barrier six which hasn't produced a Melbourne Cup winner in the past three decades.
One of the race's most successful jockeys, Damien Oliver having won his third last year aboard Fiorente, meanwhile has the mount on Mutual Regard who comes off an Ebor Handicap (2800m) win at York on August 23.

2014 Melbourne Cup Market Movers
- #11 Mutual Regard ($13 into $11)
- #12 Who Shot Thebarman ($26 into $21)
- #24 Signoff ($8 into $7.50)
The only other notable firmer in the Melbourne Cup odds is then one of three for Sydney's Chris Waller, Auckland Cup winner Who Shot Thebarman in from $26 to $21 to win Waller's first 'Loving Trophy'.
The New Zealand import won over this distance in the Group 1 Auckland Cup (3200m) back in NZ in March with a light weight and has won two races at Flemington with triple Melbourne Cup winning jockey Glen Boss, who stays on for Tuesday, earlier this spring including the Group 3 The Bart Cummings (2520m).
He's out to improve on a Caulfield Cup 13th when beaten only four lengths and suffering from respiratory issues.
There has also been a tickle for the Darren Weir-trained Signoff in from $8 to $7.50 following his 11th hour call-up into the field by winning Saturday's Lexus Stakes at the track.
2014 Melbourne Cup Market Drifters
- #1 Admire Rakti ($4.80 out to $5.50)
- #2 Cavalryman ($21 out to $26)
- #3 Fawkner ($8 out to $9)
- #4 Red Cadeaux ($17 out to $21)
- #5 Protectionist ($7 out to $7.50)
- #7 Seismos ($34 out to $71)
- #8 Junoob ($21 out to $26)
- #9 Royal Diamond ($51 out to $81)
- #10 Gatewood ($67 out to $71)
- #13 Willing Foe ($26 out to $31)
- #16 Brambles ($41 out to $51)
- #19 Lidari ($41 out to $71)
- #20 Opinion ($51 out to $67)
- #22 Lucia Valentina ($7 out to $7.50)
As for those horses on the drift, there are a few including the top fancy Japan's Admire Rakti out from $4.80 to $5.50 despite a nice barrier eight draw.
Hong Kong-based Aussie hoop Zac Purton has the ride on the last start Caulfield Cup winner who proved the best horse on the day then with the 58kg top weight on his back to win from out wide.
Admire Rakti again carries the heaviest impost this week with 58.5kg, the Melbourne Cup form guide showing Think Big (1975) as the last winner with that much on his back.
Another single figure hope the punters are shying away from is the Robert Hickmott-trained Fawkner out from $8 to $9.
Last year's Caulfield Cup winner comes off a brave Cox Plate second as he looks to improve on a sixth in the world's richest handicap last year.
The Reset seven-year-old is also the last chance for owner Lloyd Williams to win his fifth Melbourne Cup after stable mate Green Moon was ruled out pre-field announcement and Sea Moon came out this morning.
The biggest drifter in the markets meanwhile is Seismos for Marco Botti, the ATB-owned galloper drawn on the rails but out from $34 to $71 after a disappointing 15th in his Australian debut in the Caulfield Cup.

Photo Quality in HD 1080P
May 11, 2012
Hey all,
I have a quick question:
In a HD commercial with a bunch of photos (like a slideshow commercial), what do you think the quality of those photos is? Do you think it is like a 36MP with full sensor (like a Nikon D800)? Do you think those photos were taken with a better camera than a D800?
I'm looking to create a slideshow that would look good in full 1080P; what kind of quality would that need to be?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Sr. Christina
Review for Soles4Souls, Old Hickory, TN, USA
I am so glad and thankful that there is an organization that helps children in needs . Reviewing the good causes that the volunteers and donors have done to these children made my heart melt of overwhelmed joy and gives me the relief feeling of justice that was given to these children and that is why i am so proud of Pusong Pinoy. Not only that, Pusong Pinoy is definitely a transparent non-profit organization. I myself have experienced that this organization really ensures all the donations will surely reach the intended beneficiaries. This organization has helped the students of our Society. We are grateful to you for all the helps and blessings we have received from you.
With Love and prayers,

SEATTLE — Utah faces a tall task in defending Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins. The 6-foot-6, 266-pound sophomore, who also plays college basketball, is the nation's top receiving tight end with 48 receptions.
In last week's 21-13 win at California, Seferian-Jenkins had a career-best 152 yards on eight catches.
"He's a tremendous receiving tight end," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. "No one has really had a great answer for him."
Whittingham added that Seferian-Jenkins has a great knack — even when he's not open — of incorporating his basketball skills by going up and catching the ball in traffic. The Utes hope defenders like 6-foot-5 linebacker Trevor Reilly or 6-foot-2 safety Brian Blechen will provide quallity matchups.
Seferian-Jenkins has already broken or tied several Washington records for tight ends. His 1,168 career receiving yards rank first after just 22 games.
"He's a guy that is a major concern for us," Whittingham added.
Reilly, who tops Utah with 50 tackles, said it'll be a fun matchup for the defense. He compared Seferian-Jenkins to UCLA's 6-foot-7 tight end, Joseph Fauria, who didn't score against the Utes.
"We usually do pretty well against tight ends," he said. "Hopefully we can keep that going."
Blechen is also looking forward to the challenge of keeping Seferian-Jenkins in check. Most tight ends, Blechen explained, can't make the spectacular receiver-like catches that he can make. Seferian-Jenkins is averaging 13.1 yards per reception and has scored four touchdowns.
"He's a beast, a phenomenal athlete, a competitor and he's tough," Blechen said. "He's someone that we have to, as much as we can, limit the big plays he's capable of making."
Washington has other weapons as well. Sophomore receiver Kasen Williams has a team-high 49 catches, including 10 in the Huskies' 17-13 win over Stanford on Sept. 27. Junior quarterback Keith Price (1,765 yards passing) and sophomore tailback Bishop Sankey (855 yards rushing) are among others to watch.
On defense, the Huskies have four players with 51 or more tackles — junior safety Sean Parker, sophomore linebacker John Timu, senior safety Justin Glenn and freshman nickelback Shaq Thompson. Freshman Marcus Peters and senior Desmond Trufant are talented cornerbacks.7 comments on this story
Washington (5-4 overall, 3-3 in Pac-12 play) is 24-23 under head coach Steve Sarkisian. The former BYU quarterback is his in his fourth season at the helm of a program that went 0-12 the year before his arrival. The Huskies are one win away from becoming bowl eligible for the third straight season.
"I have a lot of respect for what they're doing up there," Whittingham said. "It's a work in progress, just like everybody."

George Inai is like "a Model T built by Toyota in a Mexican factory." At least that's the closest the singer-songwriter says he has come to describing his unique cross-cultural blend of gothic Americana and Mexican folk music.
"I think the Japanese culture tends to take other ideas and pull them apart, scrutinize them and put them together in a different way," Inai points out. "I think that's kind of what I do. I don't have much Japanese folk music, a direct influence from that. But it's something about the mental process. The architecture, I think, is in there. I thought the whole Toyota thing represents that in an immediate way that people could understand."
While it may be a fitting parallel now, twenty years ago, the analogy would've been driven by a souped-up Camaro with "Back in Black" pouring out the windows. "I just heard that riff, and that was it," Inai exclaims. "I was just like, 'I wanna know how to make that sound.'"

After graduating from Manual High School in 1986, Inai headed to L.A. to play with a Mexican-American metal band. Shortly after moving out there, however, he enrolled in the Guitar Institute of Technology and heard some blues and rockabilly players, which prompted him to shed his shredder inclinations. "I realized just how that was becoming a dead end," he recalls. "Even back then I knew. You saw Guns N' Roses come and go, and you knew that the hair thing wasn't going be around much longer. I wanted to move on. I started broadening my horizons before that, and then continued after playing in a metal band."
Nearly a decade later, Inai moved back to Denver, where he met his Mexico-born wife through a mutual friend. She turned him on to old Mexican trios such as Los Ponchos, whose vocal harmonies — along with those from groups like the Sons of the Pioneers — began to have a big influence on his music. He cut his performing teeth at coffee shops and open stages before eventually forming a band. After playing country and bluegrass numbers on the guitarrón, an acoustic bass prevalent in marachi music, Inai discovered the inherent similarities between the two genres, which helped him craft his sound.
"That made see that all this stuff can sort of fit together in an interesting way," he explains. "That gave me the place to kind of put that together."
The results of the seemingly unlikely merger can be heard on Inai's latest effort, This Foolish Music, in which he takes previously stripped-down versions of his songs and embellishes them with full orchestration and arrangements. "Basically, I was able to flesh out the ideas and add what I really wanted," he says. "Bongos, pedal steel, vocal harmonies. This needs to be done in order for the music to achieve its full realization, to come to life."

Joakim Noah exited Saturday's overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the third quarter and never returned -- even after Taj Gibson fouled out. Gibson was replaced by seldom-used big man Nazr Mohammed. Predictably, tight-lipped head coach Tom Thibodeau had little to say about the decision afterward.
"He's fine," Thibodeau said. "Coach's decision."
Of course, that leaves us all forced to read between the lines, and it's difficult to not come away wondering whether there is some sort of a rift developing between the coach and Noah. ESPNChicago.com's Nick Friedell opines:

Detail of an allegorical miniature of Christine de Pizan before the personifications of Rectitude, Reason, and Justice in her study; then helping another lady to build the 'Cité des dames', from The Book of the City of Ladies (Le Livre de la Cité des Dames), Christine de Pizan, Fifteenth Century.
(Click on post images for larger size.)
"Regarding how women were perceived who engaged in this type of work, the voices of many historical authors make it clear that women should be discouraged from working outside the home, and especially should not engage in manual labor. Women who could not adhere to this prescription were considered to be of the lowest class in society, just one step above the class of prostitutes. Their poverty was seen as a punishment for sin. These attitudes led to the vague recordings of women's activities in historic documents and to women's historic invisibility on the construction site. However, there were certain crafts related to building design that were deemed acceptable employment for women, such as sculpting, painting and the weaving of tapestries, which were believed to uplift the mind and maintain the virtue of chastity.
In addition to written documentation, there is graphic evidence in European illustrated manuscripts and books that demonstrate women as both laborers, craftswomen and as patrons of building construction. Some of the imagery appears to be literal documentation of work, however the majority of the known examples use the idea of a woman as patron or as laborer in a symbolic context. One well-known example is a miniature in Christine de Pisan's, The Book of the City of Ladies (Le Livre de la Cité des Dames)."
- From Women in Construction: An Early Historical Perspective, Yilmaz Hatipkarasulu, PhD and Shelley E. Roff, PhD, 2011 (.pdf) (emphasis, mine)
"Baron catalogues the painters, illuminators, and sculptors listed in Parisian tax records of the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. Although her work does not focus primarily on women, Baron does discover at least twelve female painters, illuminators, and "ymagieres" (a term of uncertain meaning), as well as three other women involved in the stone-working industry...
Medieval women and medieval art have shared an unfortunate fate. Both have been deprived by historians of the very real power that they may have exerted over human thoughts and actions in their own era. As a field of inquiry, the history of medieval women artists and their art invites us to redefine these proverbial objects as dynamic forces in the medieval past."- From Medieval Women Artists and Modern Historians, Lila Yawn-Bonghi (.pdf)
|Medieval Mason and Carpenter Guild emblem
"Every clause in the 1389 Certificate of the Guild of Masons at Lincoln referred to both brothers and sisters. Carpenters admitted women, and stonemasons often combined with them the other artisans. The 'Old Charges' referred to 'brothers and sisters', 'Masters and Dames' and to "...he or she that is to bee made a mason..."
"There have been suggestions that there may have been an error whereby 'he or shee' should have read 'he or they.' Of this possibility, Rev. Cryer says: 'Now I have to tell you, that my predecessors in Masonic Research in England from Hughen and Vibert and from all the rest onward, have tried to pretend that the 'shee' is merely a misprint for 'they.' I now am the Chairman of the Heritage Committee of York. I know these documents; I've examined them, and I'm telling you, they say 'she,' without any question.'"
"Thus, women not only endured the fatigues of labour in the building trades but also, at least in the Würzburg case, vastly outnumbered the men! Indeed, because of the prevalence of women and their acceptance of lower wages and relatively high productivity, the journeymen's lodges, fearing for their own prospects, agitated for their exclusion, and that of foreigners, from most trades in the late middle ages. Claudia Opitz , described tension over pay rates towards the end of the middle ages, saying: The competition between various interest groups raged all the more fiercely, especially when times were hard. Journeymen played a key role in these battles; since female maids and apprentices earned a third less on average, the men fought successfully to have them excluded from virtually all guilds by the end of the Middle Ages."
"While we may debate details concerning the involvement of women in the medieval building trades, we find they had an enduring presence that was sufficient for their participation to be legitimized in the Old Charges. I conclude therefore, that the Emperor has no clothes!—That no amount of repetition can make a falsehood true!—And that there were women in the building trades and as Stonemasons!"
- Four quotes from Craftswomen in the Old Charges, in Building Trades and as Stonemasons, by Philip Carter; found on The Quarry Masonic Forum here and here.
"There were so many early women Freemasons about whom we now know very little and what is left is rapidly slipping away. With each passing generation, we know even less. It's too late to recover the names and stories of the very vast majority. The scholarly squandering and impoverishment cannot be undone. While we may grieve at that, we must accept it and strive not to add to it."
- From Haunted Chambers: The Lives of Early Woman Freemasons, by Karen Kidd, Cornerstone Publishers, 2009 (.pdf)
I'll never forget the moment it seriously entered my head that a few of the medieval Green Women (and Three-Hare symbols) may have been carved by women (as I intimated at the end of my previous post in this series). Having learned absolutely nothing about the existence of female artists in the Middle Ages - let alone female sculptors or masons - in art school in the 1970s, and (at the time) dismissing the entire possibly that women might have been involved - the unspoken it-goes-without-saying assumption on the part of my male instructors (i.e., women were and are not capable of creating anything artistically meaningful) - It was with great trepidation that I even dared to google such phrases as: "female medieval artists and sculptors" let alone "female medieval masons". Truthfully, I felt embarrassed to ask... and figured the search engine would just skip over the word "female" altogether. Which it mostly did. I had to crawl through a lot of material which just featured medieval artistic representations of women by male artists, which was hardly my point.
But... surprise, surprise! Every now and then I did hit pay dirt; in fact I managed to amass so much data that pulling it all together has been an almost impossible task. But, the upshot is that, yes, it so happens that women most assuredly were employed as both artists, scribes, and masons during the Middle Ages along with the more accepted feminine skills such as spinning, embroidery, etc.. I did not know this. So, perhaps, following rabbits is not a bad thing after all...

Rosario learning on the fly, faring quite well
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
Helton feels OK, says he's thinking too much
ARLINGTON -- Rockies first baseman Todd Helton being dropped one spot in the batting order Friday night against Texas had more to do with Interleague Play than his 2-for-13 hitting during this road trip, manager Jim Tracy said.Jason Giambi served as designated hitter and batted fourth against pitcher Roy Oswalt, a former Astros star making his Rangers debut. Michael Cuddyer hit fifth, followed by Helton. "Putting an extra left-handed bat behind [Carlos] Gonzalez filters Cuddyer down one and Todd down one, so the only reason that comes into play we have the DH tonight," Tracy said. The current slump and Helton's overall stats -- a .234 batting average, with seven home runs and 32 RBIs -- raise questions about the health of his back, which has given him trouble for several years. Every stiff-looking run and swing, and every violent dive he makes trying to field a ball defensively, conjures questions about his health. Helton, 38, said his problems are more mental than physical. "I've got different thoughts going through my head, just too many of them," Helton said. "I need to get one thought, stick with it and start hitting the baseball. "I don't feel great, but I don't feel bad. I'm still physically able." Addressing whether Helton is healthy, Tracy said, "I've not heard anything to the contrary and if he wasn't, I think I would have."
Herrera activated, plays short to spell Scutaro
ARLINGTON -- The Rockies activated Jonathan Herrera from the disabled list, after he missed 26 games with right hamstring and right shoulder injuries, and started him at shortstop to offer veteran Marco Scutaro a mini-break.Scutaro, 38, came into the season as the second baseman, but started 19 straight games at short because of Troy Tulowitzki's injury in his left groin area. Tulowitzki underwent surgery Thursday and is expected to miss another eight weeks. Having Herrera, considered to have the range to play short, helps ease the wear and tear on Scutaro. The Rockies plan to rest Scutaro on Saturday. Herrera took the roster spot of DJ LeMahieu, who was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs. During a rehab assignment at Double-A Tulsa, Herrera had a hamstring setback, then experience soreness in his throwing shoulder before completing the rehab. Herrera went 3-for-17 in five games for Tulsa. Before the injury, Herrera was batting .239 with two home runs, three doubles and four RBIs while playing all over the infield. His presence increases the team's defensive versatility. Friday's starting lineup is likely a preview of the players who will be on the field when the Rockies need defense. Chris Nelson moved from second base to third base and Jordan Pacheco rested; in close games, Nelson has been moving to third in late innings. "I'm able to play second, short or third base," Herrera said. "I don't have any position that I'm not comfortable at. The last couple of days, I played short. I have to be able to play anywhere the team needs me."
Tulo back in Denver, walks about 25 minutes
ARLINGTON -- Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki returned to Denver on Friday and did some walking for roughly 25 minutes after undergoing surgery to remove scar tissue from his left groin Thursday in Philadelphia.Tulowitzki hasn't played since May 30 and will likely miss eight more weeks. In other injury news: Right-hander Juan Nicasio, recovering from a left knee strain that he suffered May 22, threw 60 pitches on Friday. His next step will be facing hitters next week.

In the past week I have witnessed first hand the giving spirit of the people who live around me. Friends, acquaintances and strangers on both sides of the border responded with an outpouring of incredible generosity to a woman and her child after a Crescent City house fire.
It was exactly one week ago today when I received a call that a friend's house was on fire. I drove there to find the street blocked by flares. I saw fire trucks and long yellow hoses. I found my friend and hugged her as rain fell and her world collapsed on Inyo Street.
We were wet and cold and I was certain she was in shock. I told her over and over how lucky she was because she had been at work and her daughter at school when the fire started. In my mind I compared this event to a recent fire where a mother and her child had not been so fortunate.
When we walked into the house the scene was surreal like the set for a
horror film. Everything was a shade of black. The floors crunched
beneath our feet. Dishes had exploded and we were walking over them.
Mugs left on the microwave looked like charcoal.
The fire had started in the kitchen. Anything plastic - like the knobs
on the stove - melted. So did her laptop computer. Photographs
evaporated in their frames. The curtains were a dusty gray-brown. A
wrought iron crucifix on the wall was covered with ashes.
We wandered through the house assessing the damage. Warmth generated by
the fire and a desire to know what survived drew us in. The
firefighters put a fan at the front door to blow in fresh air. They
warned us that it wasn't healthy to stay inside for long. I was struck
by how genuinely concerned the firefighters were. Later, when my lungs
burned in my chest, I wished I had listened to them.
The fire hoses hadn't been rolled up yet when offers of help came
pouring in. A couple of calls and emails mobilized a brigade of angels.
From the ashes rose new pots and pans, sets of dishes and glasses, a
love seat and coffee table, a TV, a CD/DVD player, checks, gift
certificates at a local restaurant and an offer of cash to pay the
first two months rent on a new place.
Among the bags dropped off at my office, a teddy bear's eyes peeked
out. Susan, who had never met the victims of the house fire, wanted to
make sure the 11-year-old daughter had a soft new friend to comfort her.
For me, the most poignant gesture came from a mother who had suffered
the greatest loss just a few months ago. How much easier it would have
been for her to wrap herself up in her own grief and look the other
way. But instead she sought out another mother and came to the door
with chowder and a check and the offer of beds.
On Sunday afternoon, cars and trucks from both Curry and Del Norte
counties carried the makings of a home to a new address. Side by side,
friends, acquaintances and strangers unloaded furniture, boxes and bags
turning loss into tremendous joy. I am humbled by your selflessness. I
am grateful to live among you.

The Chosen - Review @ Gaming Nexus
GamingNexus has posted a review of Rebelmind's action rpg, The Chosen:Well of Souls scoring it 6.8/10:
With brazenly low system requirements, The Chosen: Well of Souls will fit snugly into the palm of your hand at 600 MB, lend you a healthy allotment of diversionary hours at less than the cost for an expansion pack, and bequeath a straight-forward, no-nonsense roleplaying experience. The Chosen doesn't reinvent the wheel -- but it's not the most crooked spoke adjacent either. If you pardon some questionable voice acting from the narrator, and some stiff-jointed character modeling, there's a feasible amount of material here to zone out on, and some pretty paintings to walk through. Especially as you approach one of the Wells of Souls, and the thickening horde numbers deepen into the triple digits, your mind and your mouse can enter a zen-like plane of point-and-click existence.
