A new documentary that includes surveillance video showing Michael Brown in a convenience hours before he was fatally shot sparked angry protests in Missouri Sunday night, with nearly 100 people gathered outside the Ferguson Market & Liquor store.
Protests erupted yet again in Ferguson, Mo., in light of a new documentary that suggests Mike Brown didn't actually rob the Ferguson Market & Liquor store before his encounter with Officer Darren Wilson.
The new footage is a part of Pollock's new documentary Strange Fruit, which debuted Saturday at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Police Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot 18-year-old Brown while trying to arrest him after the alleged noon robbery. Video was released of Brown shoving the clerk in the market and the clerk reported a robbery to the police.
Instead, security footage released by a documentary filmmaker appears to show Brown making a drug deal with store clerks in exchange for the cigarillos he was later accused of stealing. Brown is shown walking toward the door with the sack, then turning around and handing the cigarillos back across the counter before exiting.
The documentary suggests that Brown did not return to rob the store but came back to retrieve the bag of cigarellos.
Pollock's video shows the black 18-year-old's altercation with store employees might have been a misunderstanding linked to a possible drug transactions he previously had that day with store employees on August 9, 2014. He then appears to have the employees hold the cigarillos for him behind the counter before he leaves, all taking place in the early hours of the day he died.
Mr Pollock's film claims that the marijuana was exchanged as part of a pre-negotiated deal, and that Brown had then made a decision to leave the cigars behind the shop counter for safekeeping. Wilson claimed that Brown had turned and charged him, while some witnesses and supporters of Brown said that he was attempting to surrender when he was killed.

"We have copies of the entire video and i think that's very important", he said.
Ferguson police had released surveillance video of Brown strong arming his way out of the same store with cigarillos.
In the film, Pollock said he saw a passing reference to early-morning video while browsing through SLCPD's account of the investigation and questioned why it was not released. "The next day, with his hands politely behind his back, Mike goes back into the store to get his stuff".
Attorney Jay Kanzler said: 'There was no transaction.
Michael Brown Sr. walks past the memorial set up where his son Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri, Nov. 22, 2014.

Former Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said in an interview that he hadn't seen the 1 a.m. surveillance video.
The trial is expected to begin next year.

Tulkinghorn had the honour of attending Littleton Chambers' spring party at Lord's Cricket Ground recently. Fine wine and fine company contributed to a satisfying evening, during which Tulkinghorn met perhaps the luckiest lawyer alive.
Alex Carter-Silk, a trademark partner at Manches, counts drop-dead gorgeous supermodel Elle MacPherson as a client. The man is forced to lunch with the glamour girl regularly, whereupon the two discuss the branding of her lingerie product line. He, literally, handles her briefs.

Scientists engineer fatty-acid health plants
Scientists in Britain have genetically engineered plants to produce fatty acids - health-promoting substances usually found in fish.
The scientists hope this could lead to a new generation of food crops able to reduce the risk of heart disease and other medical conditions.
The scientists from Bath University put genes for three fatty acids into a plant called arabadoxis.
The genes were originally found in algae and funghi.
As the plants grew, the genes turned themselves on to produce omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.
These substances are found in many health foods.
They are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and may have other benefits too.
The research was partially supported by the German biotech company, BASF, which says its actively interested in creating plants containing fatty acids.

Quote of the Day: Ludwig von Mises
by Paul-Martin Foss •
The role played by ingots in the gold reserves of the banks is proof that the monetary standard consists in the precious metal, and not in the proclamation of the authorities.
-Ludwig von Mises, Theory of Money and Credit
This still holds true today, as governments, central banks, and the IMF continue to hold onto thousands of tons of gold. They know that once the experiment with irredeemable fiat money ends, it will end badly. And when that happens, they will still be sitting pretty with their vaults full of real money, loath as they are to admit it publicly.
Quantitative Easing Works… Until It Doesn't
by Paul-Martin Foss •
One of the St. Louis Fed's Vice Presidents, Stephen D. Williamson, made the news recently for his white paper criticizing the results of the Fed's quantitative easing (QE) programs. While his opinions aren't necessarily reflective of the consensus view among the Fed's economists and policymakers, they definitely bear some looking into.
If You Thought Bernanke Was Bad Before…
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is now a Distinguished Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. On Monday, along with a number of other former Fed officials, he participated in an event at Brookings on the topic of Federal Reserve independence, governance, and accountability. One of his quotes in particular was highly shocking.
Remember When…
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Remember when Ron Paul asked Ben Bernanke whether gold was money? And when he asked him why the Federal Reserve held gold rather than, say, diamonds. Here's the clip, which we've posted before.
In the news today was a mention about the Venezuelan central bank, which is apparently so hard up for reserves that is has decided to allow its central bank to hold diamonds as part of its portfolio. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but they're not a great investment, nor are they a good form of reserves.
Although diamonds got the headline, there was also mention of Venezuela hoping to receive loans from China to help bolster its financial position. If the Venezuelans are successful, chalk up another country that is slowly but surely moving away from the dollar.
The Prodigal Son Returns?
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Alan Greenspan's recent comments about gold have been making the rounds online. Greenspan famously declared during his tenure as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors that the gold standard was obsolete because the Fed effectively acted as though it were on a gold standard.
But as I have testified here before to a similar question, central bankers began to realize in the late 1970s how deleterious a factor the inflation was, and indeed since the late 1970s central bankers generally have behaved as though we were on the gold standard.
So that the question is: Would there be any advantage, at this particular stage, in going back to the gold standard? And the answer is: I do not think so, because we are acting as though we were there.
The video of Greenspan's exchange with Congressman Ron Paul is worth watching too, as it occurred during Greenspan's final hearing as Chairman before the House of Representatives. The housing bubble was well underway, and not much more than two years after Greenspan's testimony the first rumblings of the financial crisis were beginning to be felt on Wall Street.
Four Reasons the Bernanke-Yellen Asset-Price Inflation May Be Nearing Its End

Four Reasons the Bernanke-Yellen Asset-Price Inflation May Be Nearing Its End
By Joseph T. Salerno
There are strong indications that the remarkable run up of asset prices in the last few years is beginning to run out of steam and may be on the verge of collapse. We will leave aside the question of whether the asset inflation is symptomatic of a garden-variety inflationary boom or is a more virulent bubble phenomenon in which prices are rising today simply because buyers anticipate that they will rise tomorrow.

Slightly OT: How DRM screws consumers, Example 4,231
This may not be of interest to you if you A) don't know what DRM is and/or don't care, or B) don't own a Kindle. But given our regular discussion of new media and digital commerce, this story about DRM nightmares with Amazon's popular new ebook reader sure does feel like a cautionary tale about the kind of roadblocks that may spring up on the information superhighway as we get further and further into the age of digital culture (and technological advances and planned obsolescence begin to create legacy issues with all the digital products we own like music, and books, and downloaded software).
Or maybe the story is just a good example of how much digital commerce is still like the wild-west in many ways. I'm no economic historian, so maybe the development of ecommerce infrastructure is right where you'd expect it to be, or maybe even ahead of what historical models would predict.
But no matter. I liked the story. Or rather, it intrigues me (in a baffled sort of way) to read about a company like Amazon, a real pioneer of online bidness, struggling so basically to get DRM right with a product as popular and genuinely revolutionary as the Kindle.Email this Post

It could be a trivia question: what is a Russian movie based on a modern Estonian play called «Iskushenie» or «Temptation»? Doesn't ring any bells?
First clue: the play has been staged in 13 countries beside Estonia for a total of nearly 50 times, most often in Germany – in 29 theaters.
Second clue: the play has already yielded a movie in Estonia.
For those who still haven't guessed it, the correct answer is «Ristumine peateega ehk Muinasjutt kuldsest kalakesest» (The Highway Crossing, or the Tale of a Golden Fish) written by Jaan Tätte more than 20 years ago that, according to the Estonian Theater Academy, has by now become the most produced re-independent Estonian theater text abroad.
The play was first made into a movie by Arko Okk in 1999 and now by Alexander Tyurtyumov – better known in Russia as a producer and actor who has starred mainly in comedies and detective stories, including the popular television series «Lethal Force». His movie debut was produced by Saint Petersburg's ATK studio.
«I immediately liked the play the first time I read it,» Tyurtyumov told Russian publication Peterburgski Drevnik, and adds: «The only difficulty was getting permission to turn it into a movie. Because the author, well-known Estonian actor, writer, and director Jaan Tätte lives on an island. He works as a lighthouse keeper and seldom sets foot on the mainland. We finally managed to contact him; we signed the contract and Ernest Yasan started working on the script.»
Yasan is an 80-year-old screenwriter and director born in Latvia, one of the better-known movies of whom is «Please Accuse Klava K. of My Death» that become a true hit in the Soviet Union towards the end of the 1970s.
This is allegedly the first time a work by an Estonian author in Estonian has inspired foreign filmmakers. (Leaving aside international Estonians, for example Edmund Martin, who turned «Libahunt» into a movie called «Tiina»).
The 80-minute feature premiered in Vyborg at the Russian new movies review festival «Window to Europe». Criticism was merciless, even though it rather concerned the domestic program in its entirety, One critic even described it as a dilettantes' ball, rebuking the movies for detachment from reality and lack of realistic spirit.
One of the best-known Russian critics Viktor Mathiesen wrote about «Temptation» that it is a crude imitation of «Indecent Proposal» (Adrian Lyne, 1993 – T. T.) in domestic guise the morality of which boils down to the realization that youth is wasted on the young.
Critics' opinions have not stopped the movie from winning awards, however, the latest of which was bestowed at Orthodox film festival Pokrov in Kiev just two weeks ago. Special recognition went to lead actor Fyodor Dobronravov and operator Valeri Mühlgaut.
True, festivals where «Temptation» has been a part of the program aren't among the best known and currently number ten in all.
Other actors in addition to Dobronvavov, who is a very well-known movie and theater star in Russia, include Ravshana Kurkova and Kirill Zhandarov. The former should be familiar to the Estonian viewer from Veiko Õunpuu's «The Temptation of St. Tony».
The movie's content has been highlighted in that it characterizes the moral decline of modern day Russia. «An unexpected meeting between a young couple who stray from the road and an old sculptor living in the forest, and how his offer of several million dollars in the end outweighs love, dignity, and eventually human life,» the Russian introduction reads.
It remains unknown whether the director, whom Postimees was unable to contact, has seen Arko Okk's version. The trailer suggests the Russian movie plays out in a different, more realistic key. The main character, who in this version is a sculptor, is very different from Andrus Vaarik's eccentric sign painter Osvald on whose door Laura and Roland knock one evening. Elsewhere the movie seems to stay true to the source.
Jaan Tätte couldn't say anything about the new movie. «It's nice,» he says, and explains: «That play was with me 20 years ago. At one point I let it go so it could take on a life of its own. It is enough for me to hear how it has come to life again somewhere every now and again.»
«Highway Crossing» is currently being played at Saint Petersburg's Za Chernyi Rechkoi theater under the title «Four Billion Dollars, or Caution: Gold Fish!».

I love that this art-form is so open and expressive and allows us to touch passion within our self and connect with our inner self in way that are not necessary to be understood by others. Open mind and heart can allow us to enjoy the newness of an experience through another in a way that we may not ever attempt. We can and do learn from each other. I feel with shots like this being an excellent example of the stimulation sometimes necessary to refresh, by standing back...looking...and feeling through empathic emotion.

Police Investigating Full Sutton Murder Make Arrest
11:11am 12th February 2013
Detectives working on a murder investigation after the discovery of a man's body at Whisker Cottage, Full Sutton last Thursday have arrested a 26 year old man in connection with the offence.
Police are still working to identify the man who's believed to be in his 50s, and have been investigating the possibility that it is the 56 year old owner of the house.
Detective Chief Inspector Alistair McFarlane said:
"We have one man in custody in connection with the investigation of this murder and our enquiries are still very much ongoing.
"I repeat our appeal to the public to help us determine movements around Whisker Cottage between the end of December 2012 and Thursday 7 February when discovery of the man's body was made.
"I would also state again our interest around the resident of Whisker Cottage being an antiques dealer, and that this may be a significant factor in relation to the murder"
Anyone with information is asked to contact Humberside Police on the non emergency number 101 quoting log number 492 of 7 February 2013, or directly to the Incident Room on 01377 208989. Alternatively, calls can be made anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 796910
Change the default location for credential cache to /run/user/UID/krb5cc
Last modified: 2015-02-17 09:08:14 EST
kstart hardcodes a default of /tmp/krb5cc_uid_XXXXXX. This needs to be /run/usr/USERNAME/krb5cc.
From kstart.c:
558 if (xasprintf(&tmp, "/tmp/krb5cc_%d_XXXXXX", (int) getuid()) < 0)
559 die("cannot format ticket cache name");
560 fd = mkstemp(tmp);
Looking at this further, I wonder if we should still keep the mkstemp( ...XXXXX) here so we don't clobber a user's existing cache. That would match the current k5start behavior.
mkstemp() might actually be overkill here. We don't need it to be random, just unique. It might be simple enough to make it krb5cc_PID, where it's the PID of the k5start process creating it.
We don't have to worry about predictability when using /run/user/$username, and this guarantees that we won't have to worry about the (admittedly remote) possibility of having two processes randomly generate the same temp string. Especially if one or more of them are long-running.
Hi Stephen,
From looking at the wiki page, this feature has changed to simply suggest getuid(), instead of $USER ?
Yes, we've hit a number of places where forcing a lookup for the username was determined to be both slow and potentially unreliable (because more than one username could possibly share a UID).
For this reason, SSSD is now creating credential caches in /run/user/UID instead.
I've updated the summary.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.
(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
More information and reason for this action is here:
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further

text: I had a party and my friend brought some girls. One of them was really cute so I started talking to her. We hit it off pretty well and planned to go out. Well we went out last weekend and we got along fine, I actually like the girl a lot but I find towards the end of the night she's 17!! I'm 22! I kept telling myself, no it's too young but the girl is really mature and looks older than 17. I just keep getting this knot in my stomach when I keep thinking about it. Should I just go with the flow and see what happens or am I a sick dude for liking a girl 5 years younger than me?

Works very nicely though, i will actually stick to COD now that i can see people lol.
Only 1 minor issue, the gun colour sometimes overlaps the body colour by alot. For example gun colour is pink, body colour is blue. The body become 75% pink.
MonoChrome or white wallls wont work

Creating custom tag plugin question
I have a custom tag plugin that I am writing and I want it to directly edit the post in the database. I want this to happen when the post is created and whenever it is edited.
This way once you use the custom tag the results are saved in the post and the tag disapears leaving the reformatted text.
I have surmised that I need to run the plugin as an action like so:
add_action('edit_post', 'function_name');
add_action('edit_post', 'function_name');
add_action('publish_post', 'function_name');
add_action('publish_post', 'function_name');
The issue is that the publish_post and edit_post hooks return the post id. What is the best way to access the content of the database for the post? Is there a global database connection object I can use to run my query against? How is it best used for backwards compatibility?
- The topic 'Creating custom tag plugin question' is closed to new replies.

Gold's yearly returns compared with other major US and UK investments
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE of the major asset classes has varied widely over the last 40 years.
But how widely? And how do the annual returns from gold – the best performing investment of the 21st century so far for UK investors, and the best behind only commercial real estate investment trusts in the US – stand in comparison with stocks and shares, bonds, property and cash?
Here, BullionVault's research team have gathered and published the annual returns data for the major US and UK asset classes since 1977. That year saw UK interest rates slashed as Sterling recovered from the IMF crisis, while inflation's resurgence in the United States continued to hit investment portfolios, leading first to high interest rates, and then to the "long boom" in bond and equity returns as interest rates fell back during the 1980s and '90s.
Two stockmarket crashes, and a global property slump followed after the year 2000. During this period, as our Annual Asset Performance data show, the investment return from gold has come in the top 1 or 2 position seven times, more than any other asset tracked in our study, and beating the total returns from the S&P500 stockmarket index 10 times.
For UK investors (viewed on a more limited range of assets due to poorer availability of consistent data), gold has topped the table 5 times since 2000 and beaten the FTSE All Share 10 times.
Gold's annual performance in 2013 sank to the bottom of the table, recovering in 2014 to beat UK equities for the first time since 2011 – and outperforming overseas equities for US investors thanks to the resurgent Dollar's exchange rate – only to retreat again in 2015, heading for New Year 2016 with a 10% annualized loss for US investors before whipping sharply higher again amid the political shocks to Western markets first of the UK's Brexit referendum and then the election of celebrity real-estate mogul Donald J.Trump to the White House.
Volatility in gold's annual returns outstrips other assets, as the notes to BullionVault's performance tables show. But the lesson from 2008 remains plain. Diversification counts, and gold really does act as portfolio insurance when investors most need it. It should be considered a prime candidate for helping offset the equity, interest-rate and real estate risk of a broader, well-balanced investment portfolio.

US annual asset performance comparison 1977-2016
Notes on gold's annual performance comparison, US data
- Gold topped this US asset performance table 6 times in the last 40 years, behind commercial real estate (REITs, 11 times), foreign stock markets (9x) and US equities (7x);
- Gold also came bottom 9 times – worse than any other major asset class, and just ahead of commodities (8 times);
- Gold's 40-year change (+669% gross of costs) has beaten inflation (328%), housing (598%, excluding costs + yield) and cash (cumulative 535%). Commodities have dropped below end-1975 levels (-3.05%);
- REITs are the best-performing asset both since 1977 (6,787% cumulative gains on reported performance before costs) and also so far in the 21st century (up 536% since 1999);
- Gold is the next best performer since 1999 (+299%) and then corporate bonds (174%);
- Gold's worst year was 1981, costing US investors 32%. 2008 was the worst year for REITs (down 37%), US stocks (down 37%) and overseas equities (down 43%);
- Since 1977 gold rose in all 3 years when US stocks lost 10% or more, averaging 9.6% gains. It averaged 11.3% when REITs fell the same, rising on 3 of 5 occasions;
- The US stock market has now risen 8 calendar years running, matching its 1980s' bull run and just 1 year behind its 1990s' record stretch;
- Cash interest rates have lagged inflation 16 times since 1977, twelve of them since 2002. Gold rose in all but 3 of those events (2013-2015);
- Gold lagged CPI inflation consistently from 1994-2001. Note that in all of those 8 years cash in the bank beat inflation.

- Five of gold's 6 winning years have come since 2005;
- UK investors last lost out entirely to inflation when it hit 15% in 1976, the year of the IMF crisis;
- Gold has underperformed the other assets most often, coming bottom 16 times since 1977 (bonds 9, housing 6, shares 5, cash 4);
- Gold is the best-performing asset for UK investors so far in the 21st Century, gaining 423% vs. bonds 189%, housing 167%, FTSE All-Share 110%.

No, that number is not the result of a cat prancing across my keyboard — it's the real deal. No Man's Sky creator Sean Murray has touted this number in a couple different places.
Every time he says "18 quintillion," all I can think is "really big number," because I can't comprehend a single quintillion. There's something a little awe-inspiring that most of the planets won't actually be discovered.
The implications behind that enormous number and the way the game creates all of those planets are quite overwhelming when you put it into perspective. So today, we've decided to do exactly that: put the game's expansiveness into perspective. Let's start with some math!
Oh, and for those worried, that number has no bearing on your computer's ability to play the game, since its system requirements are pretty forgiving!
1. Discovering one planet every second would still take 585 billion years
For the record, our actual Sun is estimated to have some 5 billion years left in it. So if someone manages to keep No Man's Sky going after that happens... it'll still be a while.
Still not impressed? Let's pretend the impossible were possible — that instead of one planet discovered every second, every person on earth (let's say 7.5 billion for the sake of ease) was discovering a planet every second. In other words, even if Earth's entire population discovered one planet per second, it would still take 78 years to discover them all.
I guess technically this means there's hope we could see them all in our lifetime, right?
Okay, fine, it's not happening.
2. You won't know what you look like until you run into someone else — and that could take a while
You know how humans have been searching for extraterrestrial life but it's taking a bit of time because of that whole "can't go faster than the speed of light" thing? Running into other people in No Man's Sky is kind of like that.
See, unlike most video games that give you a designated starting point (or at least a set of specific options), No Man's Sky plops you down randomly in its seemingly endless universe. Because of this, you will find running into people a very, very rare occurrence. Moreover, without the help of those other people, you won't actually know what your avatar looks like.
When thousands of players descend on the game during its launch, we'll be able to test exactly how little the chances of running into someone else are.
But for now, the goal seems to be to make the game more like a single-player experience than anything else.
3. The game is still constantly surprising its own creators
Because of the way No Man's Sky procedurally generates literally everything, the combinations of flora and animal life are virtually endless. With so many planets, all kinds of life are going to develop independently and lead to new surprises each time you visit someplace new.
And those surprises extend to more than just you and me. The game's creator Sean Murray has said on multiple occasions that he'll visit a planet and be surprised by the sort of creatures he encounters. With the creators themselves surprised at what the game creates, there will no doubt be scores of players sharing their unique finds and comparing all the subtle and not-so-subtle differences.
Personally, I can't wait to find the creature most deserving of the spectacular "Mitchasaurus" title, or the planet most deserving of "Mitchtopia."

Four years ago, an Elkin student chose his senior project — a 5K walk/run — but it wasn't until last year that the now-senior decided who would benefit from the proceeds of the run, which is scheduled for Nov. 14.
Long-time running coach and pastor Dan Merritt was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013, and as student athlete Jacob Parker was finalizing plans for who would benefit from his 5K, he chose his running coach — Merritt.
"It means a great dealt to me," said Merritt of being honored in such a way by Parker. "It's his senior project, and I've coached Jacob for four years. I just greatly appreciate it that he'd even think of me. I could think of a lot of other people who need it more than me."
Parker raised more than $2,200 in sponsors for the Do it for Dan 5K and was still working on more.
"He's taken real good care of me. He's almost like a dad for me," said Parker of Merritt. Parker runs both cross country and track for Elkin High School.
He said there is a lot of upfront cost for a 5K, from T-shirts to medals and trophies to a company to be official timers of the event. "It's not an easy task," he said.
Merritt, who lives in State Road, underwent 43 radiation treatments after his diagnosis, which ended in November 2013. "I go back for check ups every three months, and since then, all the check ups have been good. The doctors are pleased, and my health seems to be very good," he said.
"I'm still at a loss for words that [Parker] wants to do this for me," said Merritt. "When he first came to me his junior year, he said he wanted to do this for me and I said no. He was very persistent and kept asking me. Finally, he said, 'You've helped people all your life. You've coached 40 years and helped others in the community, so now let someone do something for you.'"
Merritt couldn't argue with Parker.
"I did step down from coaching at the end of last season," said Merritt, who continues to run on a daily basis. "At the end of meet days, I was so exhausted I was literally sick, but I'm doing very well. I still get out and run every day, I can't complain with that."
Merritt will be at the 5K on Nov. 14, not running, but volunteering in any capacity Parker needs him.
After running in high school at Sanford Central High through 1970 and getting a track scholarship to Campbell University and graduating, Merritt was called to a church in Erwin. He wanted to continue to share his running with others, so he went to the high school and offered to help. That was in 1974, and until last season, he's been coaching at high schools ever since.
He's coached at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, Forbush, Surry Central with Rex Mitchell, East Wilkes and then the last seven years at Elkin.
"I always enjoyed my ministry and looked at coaching as an extension of that … teaching them values they can use the rest of their life. I still have a passion and work with people who want to be a better runner," Merritt said. "I had tremendous success at Elkin. I can't say enough of the kids, how much they helped me and an inspiration they were to me as I started going through my treatments. I can't be more thankful for a good group of young people."
He said, "The secret to coaching is simple, you first of all love the people you coach and if you love them, they'll respond and give you 100 percent. They always responded with performances that exceeded my expectations."
Merritt just completed a three-year interim pastorship at Salem Fork Baptist Church in Dobson, and began Sunday as interim pastor at Ivy Green Baptist Church in Mount Airy.
Parker said he got to first know Merritt when he was coaching his sister. "He saw me running at the park and said, 'What grade are you in?'" said Parker. "He told me when I was old enough I better come see him."
Of his bills left from his cancer treatments, Parker said Merritt told him he owed "much more than a rich man's salary."
The 5K will be held on Elkin Municipal Park's certified course with check in Nov. 14 at 7 a.m. and the race beginning at 8:30 a.m. Registration is $20 for adults and $10 for children younger than 12. Water will be provided at the turn-around and finish line, and trophies will be given to the top three finishers and the top three in each age group.

A Warm Climate and a Cold, Cold Heart
Before the title of this post gives you any contrary ideas, I want to say straightaway that my friend, Brian Ettling, has a very big and warm heart. Brian's a park ranger and climate change communicator who maintains a blog called Be Green Now. He recently posed a challenge to his readers: explain climate change in fewer than 200 words. As both a writer and lover of all life on this earth I found this challenge intriguing. Now, Brian didn't actually say what sort of prize awaits the winner, but I'm thinking that it just might be a greener planet. So I'm going for it! Here's my entry:
Climate Change In Fewer Than 200 Words
Plants "breathe in" carbon dioxide and "breathe out" oxygen. The carbon becomes part of the plant's new growth and the oxygen benefits animal life as well. Over the course of millions of years, the accumulation of dead vegetation became the coal, oil, and natural gas fields that now fuel our modern lifestyle. Burning these "fossil fuels" takes oxygen out of today's atmosphere and puts carbon dioxide back in. In just one hundred years we have largely reversed a natural process that was millions of years in the making. Carbon dioxide is a "greenhouse gas". It traps heat in the atmosphere and causes the earth's average temperature to rise. This warming has taken place so quickly that it is disrupting weather patterns and making storms and droughts more severe. It is changing regional climates too quickly for plants and animals to adapt and disrupting our ability to grow food. Furthermore, since carbon dioxide turns into carbonic acid when it rains the oceans are becoming more acidic, thereby killing off corals and shellfish – an important part of the food chain. Life as we know it is in danger! We must stop burning fossil fuels!
Given the immense harm caused by burning fossil fuels, it's difficult to understand why we can't muster the collective will to do something about it. Four reasons do come to mind, though: 1) Greed 2) Laziness 3) Ideology 4) Compassion Deficit. Let me address each of these in turn.
Greed – The status quo with respect to power and money is almost certainly a factor in prompting some to deny that climate change is real, human-caused, and resolvable. We in the West are presently at the top of the heap, enjoying whatever protection our money can buy. Doesn't it appear at times as though we feel entitled to the lion's share of the world's resources?
Laziness – We all have a lazy bone or two hidden deep inside of us, as evidenced by our long, hot showers, our beloved air-conditioning, our unnecessary automobile travel, and our unnecessary consumption. Change is hard; and our hectic modern lifestyle makes it even more difficult in that we feel that we lack the time required to make the changes that need to be made.
Ideology – If we acknowledge that climate change is real, human-caused, and resolvable, then we have to do something about it. We're good and moral people, after all. We wouldn't stand by and do nothing if there were a real problem that needed solving. No, it's easier to deny that a problem even exists than to have to entertain solutions that don't fit into our ideology: government investment in alternative energy, carbon taxation, industry regulation, global cooperation, reductions in consumption, etc.
Compassion Deficit – The most egregious example of this "compassion deficit" is the 'we'll just move to Canada' attitude towards climate change. Thus, even if it turns out that climate change is real, WE (those of us who presently control the lion's share of the world's resources) simply have to move to a place where we can continue doing what we're doing – the rest of the world be damned. I suppose the argument could be made that this "compassion deficit" undergirds the previous three reasons. That being the case, and given the fact that this is primarily a spiritual blog, let me focus for the remainder of this post on how compassion, or the lack thereof, impacts our willingness to do something about climate change.
|These Kiribati children may not yet realize that their Pacific island nation will soon be underwater.
A Warm Climate and a Cold, Cold Heart
Even if our good neighbor, Canada, were to welcome all of us displaced Southerners into its newly temperate clime, consider what that would mean for the rest of the world. It would mean that the rest of the world had become all but uninhabitable. It would mean that the increasing average temperature had finally killed off a great many of the now native plants and that the growing season for many others will have become so disrupted as to make agriculture as we presently know it exceedingly difficult. And even if the growing season for some crops were to somehow fit into whatever regional climate might happen to exist, the lack of groundwater or the unpredictability of rainfall will have further diminished their yields. Add to these woes the increased range of what are now considered tropical diseases. Factor in, as well, the chaotic weather patterns spinning off ever more violent and deadly storms. And, yes, consider how the decline in global economic productivity will have left us hard-pressed to find any money or resources whatsoever to help mitigate these problems – even if we were to somehow find the will.
Is our individual happiness and wellbeing really so divorced from that of the plants and animals that we live with and amongst that we can afford to write them all off, sign their death sentence, and move on to a more temperate clime? Are our consciences so immune to guilt that we can leave our more southerly-dwelling brothers and sisters to starve and drown and die as we, literally or figuratively, pack up the SUV and head north? Can we really live with ourselves as we watch species after species get driven into extinction, as the oceans gradually turn into increasingly acidic aquatic deserts, as the future of even human life becomes bleaker and bleaker?
Merriam-Webster defines a sociopath as "someone who behaves in a dangerous or violent way towards other people and does not feel guilty about such behavior." Are we not presently displaying, on a mass scale, such a dangerously cavalier attitude towards our fellow humans, and all of life, as to constitute remorseless violence? Is that harsh? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Maybe our elected officials are to blame. But, then again, we elect them. Maybe the corporations are to blame. But, then again, we buy their goods, thereby abdicating our "power of the purse". Oh, and we work for them, too, thereby prompting us to take our blood money and remain silent about the harm that we're causing. Maybe our neighbor with the humongous carbon footprint is to blame. But, then again, how often do we miss our opportunity to show what really responsible behavior entails?
Do I sound harsh? Yes, I probably do. I should have a little bit more of the compassion of which I speak. After all, what can prepare us for the realization that what we are doing is causing such unprecedented destruction? We have simply been following the course that generations before us have laid down, and now all of a sudden we are responsible for all of its ill effects. So let's have compassion for ourselves and each other. Let's have compassion for the earth and every living thing that calls it home. Let's have compassion as we make the decision whether or not to take that drive. Let's have compassion as we decide whether or not we need that second car. Let's have compassion as we decide whether we really need the heat to be on so high or the air-conditioner on so low. Let's have compassion as we decide whether we need all of that stuff that, up until now, we've always thought that we needed. Let's have compassion as we consider whether or not to vote for that official who just can't seem to wrap his or her brain around the fact of climate change, and the fact that we are causing it, and the fact that we can do something about it. Yes, let's have compassion and DO something about it.

A New Year, a New Vision: Growth Mindset
By McGraw-Hill Education Senior Academic Designer Angela M. Wilson, M.S.Ed.
The topic of Growth Mindset has become very popular in education circles recently. It was frequently discussed during the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) conference; it has been the topic of several podcasts; and it has been the subject of several teacher professional development sessions. So, what is it? Why is it important? And how can it be used effectively?
What is Growth Mindset?
Based on the work of Stanford University psychologist, Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., growth mindset explores student motivation and challenges the notion that people are limited by intelligence levels. Dweck believes that a "fixed mindset," or belief that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, thwarts student motivation and reduces the likeliness that a student will succeed in a given area. Conversely, a "growth mindset" involves an understanding that students can improve in areas of difficulty when given the right kind of support.
Why is it important?
This is critical because it exposes how damaging it can be to accept the belief that someone is just not good at a particular subject. This type of thinking is described by Dweck as a "fixed mindset." When people have a fixed mindset, and believe that they are not good at a subject, they are unlikely to choose actions that will help them succeed in that area. They avoid challenges, easily give up, disregard constructive criticism, and are less likely to reach higher levels of achievement. On the other hand, those who have a growth mindset tend to be more excited by the challenge, are more willing to engage in the area, and often develop more sophisticated problem-solving skills to approach the subject.
How can it be used effectively?
- Focus on learning goals rather than performance goals. When students are given performance goals, or goals that assess knowledge, they perceive that they are being judged, and rely more on their fixed mindset. They tend to believe that their base knowledge or skillset will dictate the result. However, when students are given learning goals, or goals that are designed to help students increase their competence, they tend to feel less judged and assume that if they haven't solved a problem yet that they just need to find a new approach.
- Praise effort rather than intelligence. Students who are praised for high ability attribute it to a fixed quality, whereas students who are praised for effort attribute it to their performance which is not fixed, but rather an area in which they can further develop.
- Learn more about growth mindset. Dweck's theories are rich and complex. This overview merely scratches the surface of growth mindset. Explore Dweck's work to help further shape your understanding of growth mindset and how it can impact your classroom.

Viruses are the malicious software or malwares which are spread through infected files. But unlike worms, a computer is attacked only if the virus affected file is opened on your computer for the virus to intrude in your system.
After opening of such an infected program, it loads itself into the computer and start reproducing itself like a real biological virus.
The reproduced copies of such virus then attach to other files in the system and start affecting them. They can affect your computer in varied ways and the attack can vary from being pesky to dangerous including invasion of your personal data and parasitic use of your PC for illegal stuff.
Protection and prevention of your PC from viruses is totally dependent on your way of usage and cautious behavior while using the internet.
Basic Steps to Avoid Intrusion of Virus into Your Computer
- Install an updated version of an anti-virus, with huge virus database, on your system which has both on-access and on-demand scanner.
- Keep updating the virus database of your anti-virus regularly.
- Do not open any kind of emails from unknown senders before letting your anti-virus scan it properly and completely.
- If an unknown email has some attachments with it, do not download it however interesting it might appear.
- Any attachment with email from your known contacts should also be scanned using the anti-virus before downloading it. Also any kind of forwards from your friends should be avoided and scanned before opening it.
- Advertisement pop-ups must be avoided and blocked using the dedicated feature in your browser.
- Accidental clicking on any unrelated flash items on various websites also must be avoided. For the purpose of safety, when not needed, the plug-ins like ActiveX control, JAVA content, flash player etc. should be turned off.
- Download of any content from untrustworthy websites must be avoided. Even the files downloaded from trusted websites must be scanned before opening.
- Files transferred via flash storage devices and also via LAN connections must be scanned before opening.
- File download using torrent should be avoided at once since the files downloaded are not only from unreliable sources, but also the torrent clients create an exception in the firewall for these files to make their access to the system files extremely easy.
- Back up your files in regular intervals, so that you would not lose any important documents if a virus infection do occur on your PC.
A new trend of viruses known as macro-viruses has arrived nowadays. With the development of online spreadsheets, these viruses do not wait for the file to be downloaded on your PC. Just the viewing of these sheets using the online viewing services introduces the virus to your PC.
To avoid this risk of macro-viruses, do not allow the browser to open the .doc, .xls or .pdf files using untrustworthy online service and request the browser to download these files on the PC and run using the default applications.
A virus can attack your PC even if you boot from an infected disk. To avoid this, from your CMOS settings, change the boot device preference from disk drive to C drive i.e. the local drive with the operating system installed. This eliminates the risk of getting infected. These settings can be reverted when required to do so.
Even though the anti viruses and firewalls are meant to protect your PC from virus attacks, they are not completely efficient with their tasks. An anti-virus updates its database at a regular interval of 1 week minimum.
But with the vivid development of viruses all over, a new virus is being released in the world every next minute. Thus, your PC even with the most efficient anti-virus installed, is not completely safe from viruses.
Keep yourself updated with the latest information regarding the development of new viruses and their spreading medium for staying more cautious during your use of internet or getting files through various transfer mediums.

One in, one out for Bayern
Bayern Munich have agreed a deal for Borussia Moenchengladbach's Dante, whilst Ivica Olic has signed for Wolfsburg.
Last Updated: 26/04/12 7:10pm
Bayern Munich have agreed a deal for Borussia Moenchengladbach's Dante, whilst Ivic Olic has confirmed his move away from the club by signing for Wolfsburg.
Dante will join Bayern at the end of the season, ending a three-year stint with Gladbach.
The 28-year-old joined Borussia in 2009 from Standard Liege and has emerged as one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga.
"Bayern are one of the world's biggest clubs and there I can have the chance to play at the very highest of levels and win titles," Dante said.
"I am now 28 years old and want to take that next step in my career."
Meanwhile, Olic has confirmed his move away from the Allianz Arena, signing for Wolfsburg.
The 32-year-old Croatia international, who has been at Bayern since 2009 but has spent most of the season on the bench, will join Wolfsburg on a two-year contract.
"Ivica is the absolute professional," said Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath.
"His will, running and passion are exemplary. I am convinced he will lift our team with his qualities."
