According to a 2005 Freedonia Group study, reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) will lead the m embrane separation technologies industry, predicted to exceed $3 billion in 2010. These two value-added technologies can reduce exceedingly small particulate matter and microbial contaminants. Water and wastewater treatment will remain the largest markets for membrane-based systems, according to the study, accounting for about half of overall demand. Growth in the water treatment market will be fueled by an emphasis on reducing contaminants in the water feed stream while minimizing the introduction of chemicals.
More than half of all new homes in the U.S. and Canada are being built in rural areas without municipal water and sewage infrastructure, leaving them especially vulnerable to biological contamination from source groundwater and surface water used for drinking. Hollow fiber UF offers water treatment dealers a unique opportunity to serve the needs of homeowners and builders in these areas.
Homes that are supplied with municipally treated water face a different threat to water quality as potential contamination to the delivery systems increases as the infrastructure ages and grows. The infrastructure in the eastern part of the U.S. and many parts of Canada is in such a state of decay that contamination of centrally treated water as it travels to homes grows more probable every day. In many geographical regions of North America, new home construction is growing at almost unchecked rates, and water supplies, which are becoming scarcer, are also becoming more contaminated.
Until recently, the only way to protect an entire home from waterborne contaminants was whole-house RO. Now, there is an alternative, as Aquest, Inc. has introduced a UF product called Aquacore. Similar to RO, the Aquacore UF system operates on available water pressure and requires no chemicals to deliver high-quality drinking water. UF membrane technology is the same technology used in industrial-grade applications and has been proven effective in water treatment plants worldwide for several years.
Unlike RO, Aquacore UF leaves dissolved minerals intact and, with typical flow through processing of up to 11 gal per minute, needs no storage tank. While typical RO systems send 50% or more of the incoming water down the drain, Aquacore has 98% efficiency and plays very favorably in areas of restricted water usage. Built around a patented multi-bore hollow fiber membrane with hundreds of fibers containing billions of pores, Aquacore UF screens turbidity and pathogens while allowing water to flow through with minimum pressure drop. Aquacore hollow fiber membranes deliver pathogen-free water at a nominal porosity level of 0.02 microns. The membrane's life expectancy is at least five years; however, source water conditions including turbidity, particle size, and pressure, as well as volume of water used, can all affect filter membrane life.
The inside-out filtration process of Aquacore UF channels water through the capillaries trapping impurities on the inside walls. The impurities are removed from the capillaries during a high-velocity (power wash) forward-flushing process. The inside-out process of the Aquacore assures regular, proactive cleansing and optimizes membrane life. A typical installation includes a sediment pre-filter and optional GAC post-filter for taste and odor control.
While RO membranes have the smallest pores and thus achieve a high level of purification, practical limitations often restrict RO growth to point-of-use applications. On the other hand, UF growth will come from expanding applications in the point-of-entry sector with a focus on upscale builders and homeowners who prefer a whole-house approach to multiple-contaminant, chemical-free water treatment.
Smart Water-Wise Control
Although a new player among the "green" products, Aquacore scores highly by using as little as 2 gal per day to keep the module performing optimally. An easy-to-program meter/controller determines when to flush the module and how much water to use in the process. Its smart microprocessor technology is very accurate in initiating flushing only as needed. A flush cycle is triggered only after a preset number of gallons have passed though the membrane. The number of gallons between flushes and the duration of each flush are determined by the quality of the source water. The controller senses when water is being used and automatically delays the flush cycle until household water flow ceases. The controller also senses when water has not been used in a 24-hour period and initiates a brief maintenance flush that keeps the system fresh while using minimal water.
System Components
The average installation begins with a standard 50-micron (or lower) fibrous pre-filter cartridge plumbed to the source of water into the home, thus protecting the membrane from blockage by large particles. The UF module follows the pre-filter and is typically attached to the same wall-mounted board. The flush port is connected to drain, and the meter/control is connected to the permeate port to complete the assembly. The only two structural requirements for installation are access to drain and a 110VAC power source. Finally, for reducing tastes and odors or organic chemicals (including chlorine and its byproducts), an optional GAC carbon post-filter is recommended. With 1-in. fittings at the inlet and outlet, the Aquacore system meets all plumbing codes.
Indoor Water Quality
The "Green Building" and "Healthy Home" movements place great importance on home water conservation, but the issue of water quality is also of growing concern to both builders and homeowners in every part of the U.S. While indoor air quality has been important to green builders for some time, indoor water quality is gaining the same kind of attention. UF provides biologically safe water without wasting water. A "green" whole-house water treatment system like Aquacore delivers a continuous supply of healthy water to every household tap, making it a must-have environmental protection system for today's healthy home.

ATTALA COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A teenager was driving between 68 and 78 miles per hour and texting when he struck and killed a well-known doctor who was cycling on the Natchez Trace Parkway last May.
A federal park ranger report obtained by Boswell Media and Breezynews.com says the 17-year-old was distracted by his phone texting and failed to react in time to avoid Dr. Gary Holdiness as they both traveled south on the Trace.
The accident happened about three miles south of Kosciusko on May 6, 2012.
The teen's SUV struck Holdiness less than two feet from the shoulder of the road and tossed him almost 180 feet. At the time, the teen told rangers Holdiness' foot appeared to slip on this bike's pedal and he swerved into the SUV's path but the rangers' report says the accident happened too close to the shoulder for that to have been the circumstances and that the doctor's feet were strapped into the pedals, making a slip even less likely.
The teen's phone records showed a text at almost the time of impact and a call to 911 a minute later.
Holdiness was a well-known Kosciusko doctor and cyclist whose son died in a traffic accident in 2004.

Q. I was grumbling at a blackjack table about the switch to dealer hits soft 17. The casino closest to me had the dealer stand on all 17s ever since it opened, close to 20 years ago. Last year, they switched.
The dealer tried to convince me that it really was better for the player this way. She said, "I bust more than I used to. Those 17s all used to be standing hands, and now I bust some of them. That has to help you."
I checked in books I have at home, and they all say the dealer hitting soft 17 increases the house edge by about two-tenths of a percent. I searched online, and I say you've said the same thing. But in a way, what the dealer said makes sense. She has to bust more hands than she used to. So why is that worse for players?
A. Think about the situation when the dealer has an Ace face up and a 6 face down. Basic strategy players with totals of 16 or less will be hitting when they see the Ace. Many will bust, and the dealer will collect their money before they ever see the face-down 6.
By the time the 6 comes into play, the only player hands remaining will be those of 17 or better, the pat hands where players stand against a dealer's Ace. If the dealer stood on all 17s, then all players remaining in the hand would either win or push. By hitting soft 17, the dealer has a chance to improve the hand and beat instead of push 17s, beat or push instead of lose to 18s, 19s and 20s, and even push 21s.
The cost to the house? Not much. When the dealer busts, the house will lose to some 17s it would have pushed by standing, and lose to higher hands that would have beat 17 anyway.
Seventeen is not a powerful hand. It can't beat any pat totals. The best it can do is push another 17. The situation is more jumbled when a low card is face up. Then players with stiff hands will stand, and some will win when the dealer who hits soft 17 busts. On balance, the house gains about two-tenths of a percent.
Q. In video poker, is the first card of a new hand the first card off the top of the remaining deck from the previous hand? What brings this up is a hand I had in Double Double Bonus Poker. I had Aces of clubs, hearts and spades, a 2 of hearts and a 9 of clubs. I threw away the 9 and held the three Aces and the 2, so that if I drew the fourth Ace, I'd get the 2,000-coin jackpot.
My husband says that's the wrong play, that I should just hold the Aces and throw away the 2, too. On the next hand, my first card was the Ace of diamonds. He said, "See? If you'd thown away the 2, the next card was your fourth Ace and at least you'd have gotten the 800."
Is that really the way it works?
A. No, video poker cards are randomly shuffled for each hand. Your Ace of diamonds was the first card of a fresh shuffle.
I'm with your husband on the strategy question, though. If you hold the 2 along with three Aces, there's a 1 in 47 chance of drawing the fourth Ace. Discard both the 2 and 9, and you double you chances, to 2 in 47, of getting Ace No. 4.
If you start with Ace-Ace-Ace-2, there are 47 possible draws. One is the fourth Ace you're chasing, giving you the 2,000-coin bonanza for four Aces plus a low-card kicker. Three draws are deuces, completing a full house. The other 43 leave you with three of a kind. On 9-6 or 9-5 Double Double Bonus, the average return is 59.14 coins per five wagered.
If you discard 5 and 9 and start with three Aces, there are 1,081 possible draws. Eleven will bring the four Aces plus kicker jackpot, and 35 more will bring the fourth Ace without a low kicker for a nice 800-coin pay. Of the rest, 66 will bring full houses and 969 will leave you with three of a kind. Average return: 62.45 coins.
So your husband is wrong about how the cards are dealt, but he's right on the strategy point. Hold the three Aces and discard both of the other cards to maximize chances of drawing the fourth Ace.

Most people looking for asylum in the United States say they've been persecuted in their home country — sometimes imprisoned and tortured. Life-and-death stuff. Real terror, real danger.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike are a little different. They hail from Germany, and the worst that happened to them there was that their government told them they were expected to abide by the national Schulpflicht — mandatory state-sponsored schooling for all children aged six and older.
Not wishing to taint their Christian purity with the worldly teachings of Germany's schools, the Romeikes fled to the United States — and applied for political asylum — on the invitation of a network of Christian homeschoolers represented by the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA).
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeikes' case, setting off a choir of right-wing voices howling that if we needed more proof of the Obama administration's hostility towards Christianity, this was it.
The reliably awful Todd Starnes wrote a desperate screed for Fox headlined
Team Obama wins fight to have Christian home-school family deported
But then, within a day, the already-doubtful prospect that the Romeikes and their six children would be kicked out of the country vanished altogether, after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security suddenly gave the family "indefinite deferred status."
"We're not entirely sure what it all means, but it's definitely good," Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) attorney Jim Mason told Christianity Today. "It permits them to stay in the country and work here."
A little background:
While private and public schools are allowed in Germany, homeschooling is not. [Back in Germany,] The Romeike family was threatened on multiple occasions, fined about $10,000, and had three children forcibly removed from home and driven to school by police, according to [a legal] brief.
… While the German government was not motivated by religion to persecute the Romeikes, it was frustrating the family's faith.
An article in Der Spiegel explains what bugged the parents:
The couple wanted to safeguard its children from the "unchristian tendencies" in German schools; the curriculum was "neither Christian not value-neutral," grumbled Uwe Romeike. The kids were educated "according to an anti-Christian world view," school books were chockfull of obscene expressions, cursing, and blasphemy: "They focus more on vampires and witches than they do on God." For a strict Christian [said Romeike], this is simply unendurable.

Before the polls officially closed, more than 90,000 registered voters finished casting their ballots in 37 different precincts, or voting zones, in Alamance County.
Among those registered in Alamance County are Elon University students — including individuals originally from all over the United States who are voting in the battleground state of North Carolina in hopes of making an impact.
The First Baptist Church of Elon served as a polling place for registered voters in the Town of Elon.
Elon senior Courtney Whiting, a Connecticut resident, said she decided to register in North Carolina because she felt her Republican vote would make more of a difference in North Carolina than in her historically blue home state.
Elon senior Jonathan Cart, a Texas resident, also decided to cast his ballot in North Carolina because he felt it would make a bigger impact here.
"I felt like my vote would matter more here because Texas obviously will go red," Cart said.
Elon sophomore Dean Shapero expressed a similar sentiment. Originally from New Jersey, Shapero also registered in North Carolina because he felt his vote for Republican candidate Mitt Romney would hold more weight in North Carolina.
Generally, Elon voters at the First Baptist Church, located at 621 E. Haggard Ave., seemed to vote Republican. The majority said they supported Romney, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and local Republican candidates.
Voters at the First Baptist Church also agreed the economy was the most important factor in this year's presidential election.
Whiting, who voted for Romney, said she believes the economy is the most important issue in the election.
"I just know that I'm graduating from college this spring, and I would like to have a job," she said.
Shapero also said the economy was the factor that influenced his decision most.
"I'm not necessarily against (President Barack) Obama," Shapero said. "But, I just think right now downsizing government and fixing the economy is most important."
Elon sophomore Michael Lindsey, a North Carolina resident, said he could not decide who to vote for until the night before Election Day. After considering issues such as the economy and social issues, though, Lindsey said he decided to vote for Obama.
"A lot of people like to assume Republicans are stronger with the economy," Lindsey said. "As an (economics) major, I don't always think that's true at all. I think you do truly need bipartisanship, and I think a lot of the things Romney has said to just try and get votes aren't necessarily the best policies."
This consensus among voters at the First Baptist Church mirrors the results of the Elon University Poll conducted in August, which found that 48 percent of North Carolina voters deemed the economy the most important issue in the 2012 presidential election.
Other significant factors for voters at First Baptist Church included education, the environment, student loans and social issues.

NEWARK, N.J. — Slump-busting and sacrifice were the prevalent themes as the Winnipeg Jets snapped a season-long four-game losing skid.
Mark Scheifele and Evander Kane erased significant goal-scoring droughts, while Devin Setoguchi provided an insurance marker with 27.1 seconds to go as the Jets grabbed the lead and never let go for a 3-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night before a crowd of 12,253 at the Prudential Center.
The Jets sat back a bit much in the third period, but blocked six of their 14 shots during the final frame — including four from Mark Stuart, who finished with a game-high five.
"We pushed," said Setoguchi. "They had good bounce in the third, an extra step but we sacrificed the body, blocked a lot of shots. We got pucks out and pucks in. The simplicity of the game is what (was key) for us."
Things got interesting after Patrik Elias provided a nifty redirection at 10:44 of the third period, but after surviving some Devils' pressure, Setoguchi shot the puck into the empty net to ensure the Jets started off their six-game road trip on a positive note.
Scheifele's goal was a big-league wrister that beat future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur high to the glove side and was his first since scoring in the season opener back on Oct. 1 against the Edmonton Oilers.
"I definitely watched him lots growing up, so it was big to score on him. I was pretty excited for that," said Scheifele. "I wasn't focusing on scoring as much (during the slump), I was thinking about playing good (defence) and what I can do to help the team. I didn't lose any confidence, I kept on playing the same way, kept on learning. It was just a matter of time to get that chance and put it in."
Kane, meanwhile, thought he may have scored twice.
Just past the seven-minute mark he took a quick shot that appeared to land between the pads of Brodeur behind the blue paint, but after the play went to video review, there was no camera angle that provided conclusive evidence that the puck ever fully crossed the goal line.
However, on the ensuing draw, Olli Jokinen won the draw back to Kane, who beat Brodeur for his seventh of the season.
"I thought (the first one) might be (a goal), but I guess it wasn't. It was good to get one right after that," said Kane. "I got a goal and hopefully, I can keep on scoring."
Given how often the Jets had been unable to hold onto leads in third periods or surrendered late go-ahead goals, it was important for them to nail this one down, even if there were some sensitive moments.
"We hung onto a lead and came out on top," said Kane. "We stuck to what made us successful and continued to play strong through three periods, for the most part."
Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec played a key role in securing the win, turning aside 25 shots as he earned his 100th NHL victory.
"I was thinking about it a little bit a few days ago but then we lost four games in a row and I totally forgot," said Pavelec. "It's nice, but the number means nothing. It's nice to get the win tonight, that's what I'm worrying about right now."
Jets right-winger Blake Wheeler nearly broke a 12-game drought of his own when drove hard to the net during the third period and put his backhand off the shoulder of Brodeur, leaving him to contribute in another fashion.
With the Jets protecting the lead, Wheeler slid to block a shot with his right leg, another example of the type of unselfish play required to help his team get back to .500 at 11-11-4.
"We got a little unnerved when they made it 2-1, but we stuck with it and the guys made some huge sacrifices," said Jets head coach Claude Noel. "I don't know if it was the way you want to manage the game, but that's the way it goes. We knew they were going to press, but we were resilient in holding our position.
"We remained composed."
And ultimately, the Jets found a way to get it done.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture has quarantined all of Los Angeles County for Asian citrus psyllid.
The designation, which covers 4,000 square miles, will restrict movement of citrus and other host plants, according to a news release.
The action comes after traps picked up several dozen Asian citrus psylla in the Echo Park area.
About a week earlier, the state quarantined all of Orange County after dozens of Asian citrus psylla were found in Santa Ana.
State ag officials say they hope the quarantines prevent the movement of the psyllid into the large citrus production regions in the San Joaquin Valley.
Asian citrus psylla can carry citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing of HLB. The bacterial disease is lethal to citrus trees but harmless to humans.
Once a tree is infected, there is no known cure. Yields and fruit quality decline, and the tree eventually dies.
So far, none of the psylla trapped in California have been infected with the greening bacteria, according to a news release.

There have been nearly 1000 calls for help and 11 rescues in the past 24 hours as the NSW mid-north coast has been hit by heavy rain and flash flooding.
Five adults were evacuated from a house in Kew on Saturday morning by the State Emergency Service after becoming trapped from rising flood waters, SES spokesman Phil Campbell said.
It is a week since the body of 17-year-old Luke O'Neill from Bonny Hills was found in Kew after being sucked down a drainpipe.
An elderly person was rescued on Saturday morning after being cut off by the floods in Paterson in the Hunter Valley, while a man in Taree was rescued after found standing on his vehicle to escape from the rising waters.
On Friday night 13 properties in Dungog were also evacuated, with residents unable to return to their properties on Saturday.
More than 17,000 people in Forster and Tuncurry are currently stranded on the north coast due to the flood waters. It is expected they will remain isolated until Saturday night.
Over the past 24 hours there have been 973 calls for help, with 376 calls coming from residents in Sydney, Mr Campbell said.
"The rain is quite heavy in the mid north coast," he said.
Mr Campbell said the most common calls for help, being responded to by more than 400 SES workers in the field, were about wind damage, flash flooding and leaking roofs.
The SES says it's been the busiest day since last Sunday when tornadoes hit Kiama, in the Illawarra. The SES received more than 5000 calls for help between last Saturday and Tuesday.
"It has been a very busy week for the SES," Mr Campbell said.

Hello all.
I use a Dillon SDB with 9x19 dies to load for my 9x23 Win. I have had no problems until now. The brass is kind of stiff, but has worked ok before.
The brass has been fired twice, with light loads (124 gr FMJRN with 5.1 gr of WST, using Federal Rifle primers). It was cleaned up with crushed walnut, so it was in pretty good shape.
I had just converted my SDB from .40 S&W, which involves changing everything out with the exception of the primer feed tube (which Ihad to change from small pistol primers to small rifle primers) and the powder feed. The shell plate and all the caliber specific changes were made. This was done about three days ago, and I successfully loaded up about 200 rounds right after I changed it.
Last night, I sat down after loading 200 rounds of 45 ACP on the other SDB, and started to load on the SDB set up for 9x23 Win. I noticed that it seemed to take a little more pressure to cycle the press, but I thought that this was just due to my being used to the other SDB, which is much smoother due to higher volume of use. After loading the first 10 or so, I noticed that the brass in station three looked very odd, so I removed it. It was bent, or twisted. It was no longer straight. One side of the brass was bulged out and the other side was pulled over. I examined the other cases, and found several others that were also not straight.
By watching the brass at station 2, it appeared that the base plate was not stopping correctly. When I called Dillon, the technical help guy told me to loosen the lock ring on station 2, and run a case up and then tighten the lock ring. This should center everything up.
My understanding was that the lock ring on station 2 was just to hold the expander plug/powder dispenser to the correct height. Is there enough lateral movement to make this fix? If so, should it have wandered off like this?
I hope my description was clear enough. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

I dont know much about the SDB, I use the 550, I would think the problem would be in the auto indexing and what center the shell plate after it is turn, like my 550 has a spring and ball under the shell plate to center it. or maybe your shell plate bolt is to tight and not leting the shell plate index all the way to the next station.

Casey: My SDB experience is that the powder-drop
& bell station is way aggravating. It must be
adjusted just so. Getting the right bell, and having
the powder slide end it's travel just when the handcrank
ends it's travel, can be like trying to nail Jello to
the wall. But I have never seen it mangle cases.
Char923 brings up a good point. I have learned to
never tighten the shell plate bolt. I just screw it in
almost all the way, then a couple-few cranks on the
handle tightens the bolt, just the right amount, for me.
I hope you figure out the problem, and post the
solution for the rest of us SDB owners.
I assume you do remove the shell plate and clean out all
the crap that accumulates under it, occasionally? I use
a vacuum cleaner and q-tips to do this, regularly.

I forgot to update this post!!
After talking to Dillon, I did try to adjust station two the way that they had suggested. I was unable to make any difference, it would still twist and mangle the brass.
What I did do was to very slowly raise a case up in station two and watch what was happening. As the case slipped over the material which bells it out, it would tilt towards the front of the machine. At first, I thought that perhaps it was a matter of not indexing enough, as Char923 suggested. But all of the other stations were working perfectly, with absolutely no alignment problems. In addition, the primers were seating perfectly (which for me, on a SDB, is a miracle of no small proportion).
After studying and thinking for a while, it appeared to me that the station two lock ring was forcing the die over when it was tightened down. I could leave it just a quarter turn loose, and it the case would slip up just fine. When I tighened the last quarter turn (and I wasn't overtighening it, either), it would pull the die off center.
I guess I did the obvious thing, I shimmed the lock ring with a piece of cardboard from a Federal Rifle primer box. What else would you use?? Just one small piece, between station two and the screw that holds the plate on, allowed the ring to tighten down and align perfectly. I have loaded a couple of hundred rounds with it, and it still works fine. Eventually, I will call Dillon and straighten this out, or replace the cardboard with a peice of metal shim.
By the way, the shell plate bolt was a thorn in my side for a very long time. I had continual problems with these, breaking two each in each of my SDB's. I finally figured out that if you use high quality grease on them, and tighten them down tight (but not TOO tight), you will have a lot fewer problems.
The primer feed tubes and the primer seating are far and away the worst problems that I have with my SDB's now. The SDB that I use for 45 ACP STILL has a problem with it's feed; after trying numerous solutions, I finally have the other SDB feeding and seating primers with no problems other than every so often adjusting the tiny allen screw that locates it when you are ready to seat a primer. It won't last, though.

I would dillon and have them send you a new tool head, lock ring and powder die. Also possibly a new set of dies in that caliber.

Depending on how many rounds you've cranked through your SDB, it isn't a bad idea to get the Dillon 20778 SDB spare parts kit, which has replacement teflon guides, index cam, detent ball, and other small parts. It does a great job tightening up a loose SDB, I use my SDB for .45 ACP, 9mm Luger, 9mm Steyr, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum. It started getting balky cycling, and seating small primers was ticklish. The $12.00 spare parts kit made quite a difference!

The activities of Al Qaeda in two of Iraq's most troubled cities could keep U.S. combat troops engaged beyond the June 30 deadline for their withdrawal, the top U.S. commander in the country has warned.
U.S. troop numbers in Mosul and Baqubah, in the north of the country, could rise rather than fall if necessary, General Ray Odierno told The Times in his first interview with a British newspaper since taking over from General David Petraeus in September.
He said that a joint assessment would be conducted with the Iraqi authorities in the coming weeks before a decision is made.
Combat troops are due to leave all Iraqi cities by the end of June. Any delay would be a potential setback for President Obama, who has pledged to withdraw all combat forces from Iraq by August 2010 as he switches his focus to Afghanistan.
The ultimate decision on keeping or withdrawing troops would be taken by Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister, handing him a major dilemma given the desire by most Iraqis for the U.S. military to leave the country.
Tens of thousands of supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr, the anti-American Shia cleric, marched through Baghdad yesterday, the sixth anniversary of the fall of the capital, to demand the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
General Odierno, 54, said that he was also concerned about the risk of renewed conflict between Arabs and Kurds in northern Iraq, where tensions are rising over the ownership of territory. He also cited the "very dangerous" threat posed by Iranian-funded militants who appear to be styling themselves on Lebanon's Hezbollah.

Rich in experience and knowledge, Daughrity and Athyal introduce readers to the vibrancy of Indian Christianity like no other authors have done before.
Many people look to the 1970s and 1980s to find the cause of the rapid growth of Christianity in Korea. But to understand the real story behind the growth of the Korean church, we need to rediscover the story of the American missionary enterprises of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There, we will learn how the story of the "American Christ" came to Korea and gradually became a part of the Korean people's story. After the missions, he is no longer the American Christ, but Jesus of Korea.
This book is about how to interpret the many religions, concentrating on what we call the "world religions," for this has been the focus of most of the theological debate over the past fifty years.
A Guide to Religious Thought and Practices devotes a chapter to each of the world religions, all but one of which are written by a member of that faith community. Readers thus gain insiders' views into the theology, spirituality, and religious practice of each faith.
The Study Companion is a valuable additional resource for introductory courses in world religions that use Christopher Partridge's Introduction to World Religions, Second Edition and can be purchased individually, or as a part of a course pack.
The second edition has new and extended primary source readings, a stronger section on the religions of South Asia, additional maps, a new full-color, student-friendly format, and more.

Some thoughts on the election
My political views have been made obvious in this forum in the past, so I'm pretty happy this morning. A couple of random thoughts.
1) My confidence level picked up around 5 p.m. yesterday afternoon when I picked my daughter up from school; that's when I heard the results of the "election" at her school, which went 125-75 for Obama. As we all know, as Temple Beth Am Day School goes, so goes the country.
2) We had a split decision on sports predictors. A National League team won the World Series, which means a Democratic President; this is now 17/27 (62.9%). On the other hand, the Redskins lost at home on Sunday, their final home game before the Election, but the incumbent party retained the White House; this is now 17/19 (89 %). I have to admit, my anxiety level actually rose after that game.
3) Does this result suggest that independent expenditures by outside groups are not all there is to elections? And that Citizens United is not the death knell of democracy and otherwise the root of all that is wrong with the country? Republican Super PACS threw big money at six races–five Senate races and the presidency–and lost all six. Perhaps running non-stop ads for two months is not the way to appeal to voters, so simply throwing lots of money into the mix does not ensure electoral success. Or is Obama uniquely successful in organizing on the ground and at gathering large numbers of small donations? So while that organization could overcome unlimited individual and corporate PAC money, perhaps massive spending will make all the difference in four years, when Obama leaves the scene. [Update: To the list of "money can't buy all," I should add Linda McMahon, who spent $40-$ 50 million of WWE money in an unsuccessful Senate bid (which follows another $ 40-$50 million spent on a previous unsuccessful Senate bid].
4) What happens with the Supreme Court? Do Scalia and Kennedy try to hang on until 2017? Does Ginsburg step aside after OT 2013 (in June 2014) to give Obama the appointment? And does Obama (potentially with 56-seat support and the possibility of filibuster reform in the Senate) make judgeships a higher priority in his second term?
5) Speaking of the Court: A comment on one poll-aggregation blog said that Obama owed his reelection to John Roberts. While the direct causation is dubious, of course, there is a point there. Popular or not (and I still believe the law will increase in popularity as it is implemented over the next several years), this was a signal legislative achievement; to have it invalidated would have left a gaping hole in his record that the public might not have forgiven. Unless he had run against the Court (something Democrats don't do well), he would have been hit hard with charges of "he rammed through this unpopular law that also was unconstitutional."
6) Finally, I must admit to one personal/professional perspective on this election. FIU's outstanding dean is Alex Acosta, an Assistant Attorney General and U.S. Attorney under George W. Bush. He might have been (I'm guessing at this completely–he and I have never spoken about it) a potential short-lister for either a high executive position or a judgeship under a President Romney (Alex is a pragmatist and, I believe, would be a great trial judge). So I'm happy that this election means four more years–of our current deanship and thus continued advancement for this law school.

DETROIT -- Facing a budget crisis, Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings announced plans Monday to lay off 150 police officers and merge the city's 12 police precincts into six district stations.
In addition, the department's command staff will be downsized, with those savings used to allow 35 to 40 police officers to keep their jobs.
Bully-Cummings said she also will reallocate officers assigned to desk and other support functions, freeing up about 250 officers and allowing a net gain of about 100 officers on patrol after the layoffs.

Thread: The Fakery Index (warning: Math)

I think the reason why some of us don't like the fakery, as quite often, it starts off as asking about names but then some drama follows.
There was one poster claiming to be expecting multiples (I think it was triplets or possible even quads), and what started off as asking about names (harmless enough) became more sinister, when she started to share stories of health complications and asking everyone to pray for "her babies". Berries were investing emotionally into her story. However, she ended up making it so far-fetched, it soon became obvious it was fake and she was outed.
The fact that fakery over names, can easily lead to something else, that's why I think some of us prefer to see it nipped in the bud.
And lets face it, people don't need to fake such stories, because Nameberry isn't a parenting site where non-parents might feel awkward posting about names. This is a name site, so anyone can post about names, so no-one would be "laughed at" for simply posting about their "dream quad names".

Wow. I understand that it might be fun to fake sometimes, but the deaths? That seems quite extreme. Once I saw a thread where a user claimed she was having quintuplets, and she already had twins. That made me chuckle.eva catherine ♡ sixteen

aw man I was like "alas, math!" and then all of the numbers went whoosh right over my head like first order derivatives or possibly an airplane
I don't understand why people think they need to concoct some bizarre fantasy life or create phantom children/fetuses in order to discuss names. Is it that they're gluttons for feedback and think the best way to max out the number of replies to their threads is to lead other posters to believe they're expecting? (Incidentally, do posters who claim that they are expectant parents get more replies to their threads? My gut says yes, but listening to my gut is no valid form of statistical analysis.) Is it some kind of vicarious living/wish fulfillment thing? Or do they just get a rush out of screwing with people?
I don't mind fakers too much unless they start to get creepy. For example, when people try to pass off pictures of other people as themselves/their family: that is creepy. Ughit's name-o'clock somewhere

Authorities say an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has shot and wounded two people in an unincorporated area near Pasadena.
Sgt. Michael Thomas said Sunday that the two men were hospitalized and arrested after being shot early Saturday.
Thomas says investigators have released few details about the shootings, including why the deputy opened fire, the nature of the injuries and why the men were arrested.
City News Service reports the off-duty deputy was assigned to the sheriff's Temple Station.


text: Spot and Ripper, The "rule" I quoted is a new one, so far as I know. The league coordinator sends around this one-page list of customs everyone should know, with the idea being that captains perhaps can get their players to read the rules if condensed to a single page. This season was the first to include something about FFs beyond what the Code states (warn, find official, must be flagrant). I see no new rule in our actual league rules regarding FF, so I don't know the basis of this new rule allowing observers to call FFs. In addition to the concerns you mention, there is the small matter that a FF can be a difficult thing to spot accurately if you don't know what you are looking for. And of course, nothing in the rule says the observer has to watch all four players. [edit: And there is also the problem that our rules explicitly state that no third party can become involved in any way in a match except to call time when the 2-hour period has lapsed.]

Determine the amount of drug to apply.
The amount (length) of PLIAGLIS Cream that should be dispensed is determined by the size of the area to be treated (see Table 1).
(a) Using the ruler supplied on the carton, squeeze out and measure the amount of PLIAGLIS Cream that approximates the amount required to achieve proper coverage.

Tagged: enfold breadcrumb portfolio
someone must have pointed a laywer at my site – she liked it and all of a sudden i am having my first customer ;-) As she wanted "almost the musikzentrale" site, she`s getting it.
I realize a strange behavior of breadcrumb and portfolio: Although the portfolio entries do not have a parent page and although i did not set up any portfolio categories – since there are none – the portfolio appears as some sort of path in the breadcrumbs. How can i get enfold to display the proper entries? The issue has been discussed in several posts, but there did not seem to be a proper solution up to now (and yes, i have been through devin`s advanced layout video. Great piece of work, but i did not found the solution in there)
Issue can be seen on http://bmw.nummer5.de/familienrecht/ehevertrage/
For what reason so ever: it works now without changing anything …
Congratulations! Glad you have your first costumer. :)
I don't see any Portfolio links on your breadcrumbs. All I see is this:
Sie befinden sich hier:Startseite / Familienrecht / Eheverträge
Maybe, I just don't understand the question.
Do you mean this, mirzepapa?

First Call For Papers
Eleventh International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming (FLOPS 2012) May 23-25, 2012 Kobe, Japan [http://www.org.kobe-u.ac.jp/flops2012/] Submission deadline : December 9, 2011
FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning declarative programming, including functional programming and logic programming, and aims to promote cross-fertilization and integration between the two paradigms. Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susono (1995), Shonan Village (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001), Aizu (2002), Nara (2004), Fuji Susono (2006), Ise (2008), and Sendai (2010).
FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of functional and logic programming, including (but not limited to): - Declarative Pearls: new and excellent declarative programs with illustrative applications. - Language issues: language design and constructs, programming methodology, integration of paradigms, interfacing with other languages, type systems, constraints, concurrency and distributed computing. - Foundations: logic and semantics, rewrite systems and narrowing, type theory, proof systems. - Implementation issues: compilation techniques, memory management, program analysis and transformation, partial evaluation, parallelism. - Applications: case studies, real-world applications, graphical user interfaces, Internet applications, XML, databases, formal methods and model checking.
The proceedings will be published as an LNCS volume. The proceedings of the previous meeting (FLOPS 2010) were published as LNCS 6009.
Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. Submissions should fall into one of the following categories: - Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness, and significance. - System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long, though pearls are typically considerably shorter. Authors are required to use LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs class file, available at [http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html].
Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to a web page, or an appendix). Papers should be submitted electronically at [https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2012].

Troy T. Rohn0000-0002-8406-1956
The primary focus of my laboratory is involved in the research involving neurodegenerative diseases including to a large extent, Alzheimer's disease (AD). A primary question in this field is how are neurons dying during the progression of AD. Our lab is convinced that the primary cause of neuronal cell death associated with AD is caused by neurons undergoing apoptosis. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a genetically driven form of cell suicide that plays an important function for living organisms. Upon activation of apoptosis, a series of steps occur, ultimately leading to cell death. One of the most important early steps in apoptosis is the activation of a family of proteases termed, caspases. A major role of caspases is to clip, cleave, snip and cut critical proteins in the cell, which signals the cell to commit suicide. Since neurons cannot divide, once this program is activated it is a catastrophic event for the neuron that leads to cell death. In our lab, biochemical markers are being developed that are designed to follow specific cleavage products produced from caspases. In this way, we can use these markers as footprints to the contribution of apoptosis in certain neurodegenerative diseases including AD. To do this we generate site-directed antibodies that recognize the caspase-cleaved form of proteins that may then be used in Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. We recently designed an antibody to caspase-cleaved beclin-1 by using the antibody, our lab discovered that in Alzheimer's patients beclin-1 is indeed cleaved by caspases leading to its inactivation. Our data support the idea that the snipping of beclin-1 by caspases may prevent it from removing the toxic trouble-maker, beta-amyloid from the Alzheimer's disease brain. Our lab is currently investigating the proteolytic cleavage of apoE4 and whether this cleavage is the mechanism leading to enhanced AD risk for those harboring this allele.

text: I went to the mall yesterday to pick up a couple of things and just as I was leaving, I passed right by the Davids Tea…well I just had to go in didn't I? I saw this tea as the tea of the month on the shelf and asked to smell it. I agree with the other comments who have mentioned that this is very similar to Daydreamer; I would also compare the smell to that of Happy Komboucha. I did however enjoy those brews more than this one. This tea lacked flavour and I probably would not have this one again. Perhaps iced, but not likely.

USA vs Jamaica Live Stream Free Soccer: Watch Online World Cup CONCACAF Qualifying Football (ESPN TV Schedule)
USA vs Jamaica takes place in the World Cup 2014 CONCACAF qualifiers on Friday night, in a game that should see the United States' players relaxed and assured. Jurgen Klinsmann's men have already qualified for Brazil 2014 with two games to spare, and they will now begin their preparations for next summer's World Cup Finals. The game is scheduled to kick off at 6.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on ESPN or online through free live stream (details below).
The United States have had a fantastic CONCACAF qualifying campaign and have booked their place in the World Cup with two Hexagonal games to spare.
However, if you ask USA manager Jurgen Klinsmann whether he is satisfied he is likely to tell you the real test is just getting started. It is unlikely that the former World Cup and European Championship winner will be satisfied with just making an appearance at the World Cup Finals next year – as a player he was someone only satisfied with winning, and it is unlikely his stance will have changed in management.
Winning the World Cup next year might be a goal too far for this United States team, but Klinsmann will be wanting to get out of the group stages and try and cause a few upsets, potentially making the quarterfinals or even semifinals.
The United States manager will see every game between now and next summer as a chance to try out his squad and see who his best 11 are, and of most concern to many players, who will be getting on the plane to Brazil and who will be left behind.
The current USA team is certainly an exciting one; in previous years the United States have been able to trouble some of the biggest teams around, but have always lacked depth in the talent they were able to put out. When it comes to major tournaments, having a depth of talent is vital, and it now appears as though Klinsmann is bringing together a squad that most teams will know could cause them serious trouble.
Tonight's game might now be the most important for the USA as they are already through but every single Team USA player will be tense now to ensure they show themselves as indispensible to the squad to book their spot on the plane.
USA vs Jamaica will kick off at 6.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network or online through free live stream by clicking here.

Question 1: Does a Typical Course of Counseling Need to be Altered for This Couple?
Every couple that walks into a counselor's door, has a specific story, background, and conflict. There should never be a "cookie-cutter" approach to marriage counseling, because each couple needs to be assessed individually. The counselor needs to be trained in a variety of methods and approaches, and have a variety of resources to meet the needs of each couple. "One of the most important things you can do for the couple entering your office is to tailor the treatment to their particular style, needs, and values" (Ripley & Worthington, p. 94, 2014). According to Ripley and Worthington (2014), there are five common issues that will need a tailored approach for counseling:
- A highly unmotivated partner (pg. 94). An unmotivated partner will be an immediate stumbling block to any attempt to engage in counseling or treatment. "People will not change unless they want to change and think that they can change" (Fryling & Fryling, 1984).
- A partner that has difficult characterological issues (pg.94).
- A partner or couple that has difficulty with forgiveness (pg. 95). According to Riley and Worthington (2014), these difficulties are often rooted in a previous negative experience with offenses and forgiveness. We know that if a marriage is going to be restored, forgiveness will be the key to the restoration. "Forgiveness, along with confession, is a necessary part of restoration. The wounded person can only forgive through an act of grace, dependent on the work of God" (Fryling & Fryling, 1984).
- A partner or couple who has marked difficulty engaging in empathy and compassion (pg. 95).
- A partner or partners that have a trauma history (pg. 95).
In each one of these situations the counseling approach is going to have be altered for success. I believe many couples have found counseling an unsuccessful venture, because the counselor did not alter their chosen method and procedure to meet the needs of their unique situation. I can see this happening especially when a couple seeks counseling from an unprepared or untrained pastor. I am fully aware that Pastors have an overwhelming amount of responsibilities and cares in every church, but they must understand that a "one size fits all" approach to marriage counseling will not help many couples. Those in the ministry must be prepared to take the time to adapt our counseling method and activities to meet the needs of each individual couple. The goal is to see reconciliation, and counselors must do everything possible to reach that goal with every couple.

I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for a cream cheese frosting that I could pipe onto cupcakes. I normally use the cream cheese recipe from Rose's books but find that I can't pipe it as it is not stable enough. Any tips?
Also, if i use cream cheese frosting on my cupcakes do they need to go in the fridge overnight?

Yo guys, i'm running Wii with 4.2E, Neogamma R8.. first mario and sonic game loads but then says unable to read from disc. The second takes me to the load data screen then gives me the same error, whats the problem?
Which cIOS are you using and which revision? Do you have the IOS's installed that the game requires (take a look at http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...s-use-run.html to see which games require which IOS's to run)? What does the error messagese say (error 002?)?
Hey thanks for replying, i'm using IOS 249 rev 14, the error tells me unable to read disc, i've burnt one of the games twice.
What types of discs are you using and what speed are you burning at. Also, have you ever got a backup to load from disc? (New drive chip maybe?)
If it gives error 002, then you should take a look at the options screen of Neogamma. There should be an option to stop error 002.
Well long story short, I was on 3.4, downgraded to 3.2, almost bricked the system, went back upto 4.2E. I've tried neogamma r6,r7,8 and the olympic games only load to a certain extent depending on which one I use, even 1 or 2 of my other backups won't load (verbatim). Normal games work fine. I burn at 4x. Does it matter how many IOS's I install?
If you didn't softmod again after going to 4.2, the update killed your homebrew and you need to softmod again. Use this guide.
I updated to 4.2 then used the 4.2 guide to softmod, neogamma installed perfectly, I still have working backups but theres 1 or 2 that don't work along with mario.
EDIT - I used that exact guide.
Ok, that's weird I already had the recommended IOS. Do you reckon it's because my system is IOS60 something instead of 70?

DENVER (CBS4) – Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler is stepping up his efforts to prevent non-American citizens from voting.
Gessler has asked the Department of Homeland Security to give his office the citizenship status of thousands of registered voters.
The Denver Post reports that 4,500 people provided a non-citizen document when they applied for a driver's license and then registered to vote.
Gessler says he's trying to enforce voting laws.
Critics say the Republican secretary is trying to stop potentially Democratic voters from going to the polls during this election year.

What games are you playing now?

Ugh, I hope you don't hate me for this, Magerette, but I was just about to say that after having played HOMM 1 and 2 extensively, I began to feel bored by the same-old-same-old kinds of units being repeated in HOMM3 (at least HOMM 2 had a greater variety of spells and creatures than HOMM 1 had).
So I decided to take the plunge, and against everybody's hate for HOMM4, give it a decent go.
…and I'm having an absolute ball of a time! I just cannot put this game down…- I get up bleary-eyed in the mornings because it's keeping me until 2 AM in the mornings. Sure, the huge difference in the interface is actually a shock at first, and many things have been changed, but most definitely not for the worse! The graphics are crisp and lovely, the environments rich, and the creatures are fresh and new.
The only thing I deplore a little, is that focus seems to have been removed from city-building compared to the previous HOMMs and HOMM 5. In the other HOMMs, building up the right structures in your stronghold ASAP, is absolutely crucial. Here, the focus seems to be more on your hero and on exploring the environment.
Ah, well, and what an environment full of eye-candy it is…
Some features seem to have been borrowed from other games, notably, for instance, the tree-like structure in your stronghold that you get in the Disciples games. (One branch precludes the building of another parallel branch).
I also like that the campaigns are more focussed around proper stories; and boy, is there attention to detail in this game!

Samsung Ad makes fun of Blackberry and its die-hard users.
The company recently released an ad mocking Blackberry users being uptight and lagging behind everyone else.
The ad was released a week before RIM's unveiling of the new Blackberry 10 operating system and smartphone.
One scene shows a Samsung user showing a Blackberry user that he can do several things at once with his Samsung.
Samsung user: "So are you finally going to retire that thing?"
Blackberry user: "That's cute. You're not even working. You're watching a basketball game."
Samsung user: "Actually I'm closing deals with clients AND watching the game. Modern business, my friend."
Blackberry user: "This is the future of business."
Samsung user: "What, your jacket?"

End Point's turnkey installation service includes on-site booth construction, precise installation of compute nodes and displays, plus expert configuration of operating system, networking, and Google Earth client software. End Point also provides support for upgrades and troubleshooting.
End Point has extensive hands-on experience with installing and configuring Liquid Galaxy. We've installed a number of Galaxies for Google itself in the US and abroad. We also recently installed the Liquid Galaxy unveiled this month at the San Jose Tech Museum's spectacular new Silicon Valley Innovation Gallery. This is the first Liquid Galaxy deployed outside of a Google office or trade show.
Google's Liquid Galaxy is 3-dimensional without your having to wear funny glasses. Google's reference implementation specifies a circular booth 12'4" (3.75m) in diameter with 8 large high definition displays mounted in portrait orientation around the interior of the booth's perimeter. Each display is driven by its own computer. You simply walk in (bring some friends if you want) and you're inside of Google Earth.
If the screen in front of you is a northern view, then the screens to your right show what's to the east and the screens to your left the west. That's unless you've navigated yourself to an upside down position! When you dive down to ground level and navigate through Google Earth's 3D building models, not only do you get to see what is in front of you, but you see what is to the side also. (You'd see what is behind you too, except that the booth has an open doorway.)
The experience of Liquid Galaxy is unique and marvelous because your peripheral vision comes alive in it. Not until you've been inside Liquid Galaxy can you truly appreciate how fundamental and useful our peripheral vision is to our overall visual experience. The world has more than two dimensions, so it's particularly appropriate that Google Earth now does too.
See the End Point Liquid Galaxy website for more information. We've posted a nice YouTube video made by Eugenia Loli-Queru with Jason Holt, Google's lead engineer for the project, at the helm.
