This year we have worked diligently towards our goals of educating, and counseling others on mental health issues, depression, and suicide in youth. We have publicized warning signs for depression and suicide during our luncheon this year where we showcased our new program, SHAKA ON THE MOVE. According to The American College Health Association 15% of students are depressed, and depression can lead to suicide. SHAKA ON THE MOVE is a mobile unit that will be traveling to college campuses to provide information on mental health, suicide prevention and intervention, and depression.The SHAKA ON THE MOVE mobile unit will also be parked at the Fresh Fish Company Restaurant's annual Proof-A- Palooza car show in May. It can also be requested at health fairs and community events.
December 2016 was the first on- line auction of The Shaka Franklin Foundation for Youth. This is a new direction to help raise funds. The first items up for bid were 2 to 3 nights stays at luxury hotels around the country. Keep your eyes peeled for our emails containing links to the bidding page for each trip!
In November we were contacted concerning a college freshman who needed financial help. The student wouldn't be allowed back unless the accrued tuition was paid. The Shaka Franklin Foundation gave a $1,000 scholarship to be applied to the student's account to help pay the tuition.
25 Target and Walmart Gift Cards (for $25 each) were given to East High School students who were in need of extra funds for the Holidays.
The Shaka Franklin Foundation welcomes Dr. Raul Cardenas, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver to our Board of Trustees. Dr. Cardenas is also the Corporate Chairman for the 27th Annual Love Our Children Luncheon which will be at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Denver Tech Center on Friday, April 21, 2017.
Elijah Martinez a student in Mrs. Allison Sandler's 5th grade class at Virginia Court Elementary School was chosen as the designer of the 2016 Shaka Franklin Foundation Holiday Card. His design was chosen from 13 submissions by his class. As recognition of their participation, the class received a check for $500. Mrs. Sandler used the funds to give the student's a surprise party of pizza, drinks and balloons to show them how proud she was of their progress. She also used some of the funds to purchase needed educational games for the class. "The kids were so excited for the party. They were surprised by the pizza and sodas. My classes for years to come will benefit from the board games", says Allison Sandler. All the students wrote thank you letters to The Shaka Franklin Foundation.

Who We Are
Shaka Franklin was 16 when he took his life. He was a student at Thomas Jefferson High School. This tragedy spurred the formation of The Shaka Franklin Foundation for Youth by his father, Les Franklin.
The Shaka Franklin Foundation for Youth is a nonprofit 501 (C)(3) organization founded in 1990 to address the serious problem of youth suicide in Colorado and the nation. Over the past 25 years hundreds of presentations have been made on suicide, depression and self destructive behavior to schools, youth groups parents teachers and professionals. The Shaka Franklin Foundation has positively touched the lives of thousands of young people across the United States and many other COuntries.
Since 1990 the organization has helped young people work through problems and issues and get clinical help and treatment when it is needed. We have provided informal counseling to families with the hope that they will not have to experience the heartbreak of losing a child.
For many years Shaka's Place Youth Technology Center provided young people a place to gather and learn. Daily and after school programs were open to all who crossed the threshold. As The Shaka Franklin Foundation has grown and evolved, there has become a need to offer young people opportunities to expand their minds. We are now redirecting some of our efforts and resources to provide much needed college scholarships, mental health advocacy and support to families. What we do is whatever it takes to save a life

We are constantly reminded of drug and alcohol abuse on college campuses, but how often do we hear about suicide on campuses? Suicide has become a danger that is not always talked about or addressed openly.
The American College of Health Association says that 15% of students are clinically depressed. Depression can lead to suicide. According to SAMSHA (Substance Abuse & Mental Health Administration) mental health has been identified as a serious issue on college campuses. In an effort to bring more attention to the importance of mental health on college and university campuses, The Shaka Franklin Foundation started SHAKA ON THE MOVE.
SHAKA ON THE MOVE is a mobile unit that travels to campuses delivering information on mental health, suicide prevention and intervention, depression and other disorders. Suicide is veiled with stigmas and embarrassments. Thankfully, many colleges and universities are confronting suicide, depression and mental health head on before it is too late. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among persons aged 15-34.
SHAKA ON THE MOVE is a bridge for help. For many students it is the first time they have been away from home. It can be very tramatic and lonely. Their support systems seem very far away. There are new pressures that include peer pressure and expectations of parents for high academic achievement.
SHAKA ON THE MOVE is designed to assist colleges in sharing what is working for them and passing information and resources on to other institutions encouraging them to create a prevention plan. We bring information and guidance directly to students and communities in an effort to dispel stigmas and misconceptions surrounding mental health.
SHAKA ON THE MOVE is available to participate in health fairs, provide informal counseling, discussion sessions and presentations to students, faculties and parents.
The founder of The Shaka Franklin Foundation and SHAKA ON THE MOVE knows first-hand how it feels to lose a child to suicide.
A LIFE IS TOO MUCH TO LOSE, We can make a difference if we LISTEN AND REACT.

'Rick and Morty' season 3 release date, spoilers news and updates: Writers dish out updates
There is high anticipation for the upcoming season of "Rick and Morty" as it has been a while since the release of the previous season.
Fortunately, the writers of the new season Sarah Carbiener and Erica Rosbe were able to share some insights into the creative process. During a podcast called "Chicks Who Script," details were revealed about season 3 of the hit animated series.
Fans will be happy to hear that the third season of the series is close to being done. It was revealed that the team will soon be heading back to the animation studio in order to be screened. With that, there has yet to be any news on when the season will release.
The writers explained that there is a lot in store for the season ahead since they had such an intensive writing process. Carbiener said, "You learn so much on that show, because they fit 20 pounds of story in a five pound bag. On other shows what would be an entire episode will be the first two or three minutes. So you have to learn how to come up with a lot of story, fast, and how to make it all turn and tie up right."
Though they did not say much about what the season will bring, they teased that there will be a lot of sci-fi involved. Rosbe added, "And work with sci-fi tropes, but find a completely unique thing that no Star Trek episode has ever done in the history of time kind of thing. So it was constantly twisting, twisting, twisting everything."
With that, they teased that the season will be influenced by 70s sci-fi movies, such as "Logan's Run." This will surely bring some interesting elements to the series.
Fans can expect to see the third season of "Rick and Morty" by the end of the year.

WASHINGTON — From his porch overlooking Seattle's Lake Union and Interstate 5, former U.S. attorney John McKay can see tractor trailers speeding down the freeway. McKay has strong suspicions about the cargo some of them are carrying.
"I know that there are trucks going down that freeway filled with marijuana," says McKay, who until 2007 was western Washington's chief federal law enforcement official responsible for prosecuting drug crimes, including marijuana trafficking over the U.S.-British Columbia border.
Now a law professor, McKay is a leading supporter of Washington's Initiative 502, which would decriminalize and regulate recreational marijuana use by adults. "I know the federal government does not have a plan to eliminate this income stream to the drug cartels," he says. "The only thing I think will change (federal marijuana policy) is when states begin to revolt."
In November, that revolt could begin in Washington, Oregon or Colorado, where voters will decide if they want to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana consumption and production. Any of these initiatives would put the states in conflict with federal law, which classifies marijuana as a controlled substance with no acceptable medical use.
All three states already allow medicinal marijuana use, which is also against federal law, but these initiatives would push even harder against federal restrictions by allowing recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 and over, allowing possession of up to an ounce of marijuana, and providing for the creation of a regulatory system which would authorize dealers and heavily tax marijuana sales.
Recent polls suggest that the initiatives have a real chance of becoming law. Forty-nine percent of Colorado voters think marijuana should be legal, according to the newest polling data out last week from Public Policy Polling. The same pollsters found that 50 percent of Washington voters want to legalize and regulate marijuana and 43 percent of Oregon voters support legalization. And in the most recent national Gallup poll, a record 50 percent said they support marijuana legalization.
Keith Stroup, who founded the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, says that the ballot initiatives are the only way to change federal marijuana policy. "With full legalization," Stroup says, "part of the strategy is to create that conflict (with federal policy). If the federal government is not going to discuss marijuana policy, we will force that discussion."

The Master Chefs dominated in the kitchen as well as the bedroom....
Taryn Cummings could not believe she was accepted into the prestigious International Institute of Culinary Arts; she dreamed of studying at in beautiful Paris, France. It was a far cry from her unglamorous life back home in New York, where she helped her mother run their small family-owned restaurant called Sam's. The International Institute of Culinary Arts churned out the top chefs in the world, including the wildly sexy and eccentric Master Chef Errol King, whose celebrity personality was larger than life. She wanted excitement in a city of romance and thrills, but arrived to find her apartment barely livable and herself in need of a suitable place to stay. A chance meeting at the Institute brings her face-to-face with her new roommate...the devilishly charming Errol King, who would be guest-teaching her class this term.
The attraction is as hot as the fire they cook with, and while Errol King, the notorious bad-boy chef with an attitude, can get anyone he wanted into his bed, he wanted this woman more than anything. Something about her sweet innocence and sad eyes reach into his hardened heart, but is it enough for him to forget his past?
Devour Me contains mature subject matters and sexuality. For adults age 18 and up.

You can always call us at 364-9898, text us at 82985 or by e-mail at email@example.com. We LOVE to hear from you. The picture above came to us in an e-mail last week. We love you for listening to Chet Buchanan & the Morning Zoo.
Dear Morning Zoo,
My little girl loves your station and we always listen to you guys! The other night, we were driving in the car and heard the interview with Justin Bieber. My little girl, who is named Autumn (age 4), absolutely loves him- and was so excited to hear that he was single. I made a rule that she cannot date until she is 35 (not sure how long that will last) but she says that he is worth the wait! haha 🙂 We tried to win tickets for his concert that one week, but were unable to do so. Thanks for giving listeners opporunities like that though! So many stations promise tickets, and then it ends up being a scam, or simply a drawing for tickets.

Simultaneous Multi Threading (SMT) is a processor design method in which concurrent hardware threads share processor resources like functional units and memory. The scheduling complexity and performance of an SMT processor depend on the topology used in the fetch and issue stages. In this paper, we propose a thread sensitive issue policy for a partitioned SMT processor which is based on a thread metric. We propose the number of ready-to-issue instructions of each thread as priority metric. To evaluate our method, we have developed a reconfigurable SMT-simulator on top of the SimpleScalar Toolset. We simulated our modeled processor under several workloads composed of SPEC benchmarks. Experimental results show around 30% improvement compared to the conventional OLDEST_FIRST mixed topology issue policy. Additionally, the hardware implementation of our architecture with this metric in issue stage is quite simple.

It was 1990 when two sisters, then just teenagers, abducted their first victim. They were daughters of a woman who made a career out of picking pockets in crowded markets and railway stations in the sprawling central Indian state of Maharashtra. And their family had just come apart.
According to a 2006 Telegraph report, their parents had split and their father had married another woman and had a child. Under their mother's direction, Renuka Shinde and Seema Gavit kidnapped their half-sister. She would be the first of 13 children they would abduct. Several would escape. Most, however, would not. And ultimately, in a case that roiled India in the late 1990s, five to 10 of the kids were murdered in a scheme that involved kidnapping children, exploiting them to pick more pockets — and killing them in horrific fashion.
Thirteen years have now passed since they were sentenced to death. Their recent mercy plea was just rejected by India's president. Shinde and Gavit are now expected to be hanged in India's first execution of a woman.
Per a 1980 Supreme Court Decision, only in extreme cases does India put convicts to death — cases such as the 2012 execution of a gunman behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people. Though the sentence is sometimes handed down, it is almost always commuted to life in prison. "A real and abiding concern for the dignity of human life postulates resistance to taking a life," the ruling said. "That ought not to be done save in the 'rarest of rare' cases."
It appears the case of the murderous sisters is rare enough. "While I'm professional and personally against the capital punishment, this is indeed one of the rarest of the rare cases where the perpetrators deserve the death sentence," human rights lawyer Asim Sarode told the Hindu.
Shinde and Gavit plan to appeal the rejection of their mercy plea before India's high court today. "They will appeal to have the death penalty commuted because there has been such a delay," the sisters' lawyer told the Irish Independent. "There is too much delay. The Supreme Court has said if there is too much delay it can have a bad effect on the mental health of the convicted people."
But heretofore, courts have not been friendly to the sisters. "Going into the details of the case, we find no mitigating circumstances against them apart from the fact they are women," one court said in 2004.
Indeed, Shinde and Gavit's story is one of wanton killing abetted and encouraged by their mother, who died of a brain hemorrhage before she could be tried, and carried out for financial gain.
Following that first abduction in 1990, the family warmed to the idea of kidnapping children. Mother and daughters targeted kids between 1 and 5 years old and forced them into begging. Once they had them, the abuse began. One boy "was hurt when he was hurled to the floor," an investigating officer told India's The Week news magazine. "Denied medication, the baby's wounds festered and he was crying uncontrollably. [The mother] shut him up by bashing his head repeatedly against an iron rod."
The family committed horrifying acts. One 7-month-old child was dropped because Gavit couldn't deal with his crying, reported The Week. Another boy was hung upside down and his head bashed. "They chopped the body of one child and stuffed it into a gunny bag for disposal," Sarode told The Week. "The gang carried the bag with them and watched a movie [at a local theater] and ate bhel puri while the bag lay between their feet."
In 1996, after years of kidnappings and killings, the sisters decided to circle back to their father's new family and kidnap his other daughter, this one age 9. They killed her and dumped her in a field — but her disappearance raised questions, and an ensuing police investigation yielded evidence of numerous murders.
Shinde and Gavit were eventually convicted of five murders based substantially upon testimony delivered by one sister's husband, who witnessed them. He was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony, the BBC reported.
Defense lawyers have maintained that the sisters acted only under their mother's orders, but court after court has affirmed their sentence. "We do not think these appellants are likely to reform," the Bombay High Court said in 2004. They "will remain a menace to society."

If you've been feeling a sense of stress permeating the air, I want to say that you're not alone.
Just the other day, before I got out of bed, I was having one of my many conversations with God and he asked me, "Is everything on the ICloud? and Do you need to email yourself anything?"
Sure, my first thought was, "that's an odd message," but I followed my strict instuctions, and then began my day of seeing clients, and then stopping by Barnes and Noble to finish preparing for the workshop that I'm hosting this weekend.
Well as it turns out, someone was watching me/my car while I was in the bookstore. Because after I left the bookstore, I walked out to my car and placed my computer bag on the floor behind the driver's seat, disguising it with my yoga bag. I, then, proceeded to go for a brief walk to get a breath of fresh air. I was only away from my car about 10 minutes or so, but within that short period of time, someone took it upon themself to break into my car to steal just my laptop. They knew exactly where it was, and where I was!!
To top it off, the individual(s) were so clever that they left zero evidence my car had been vandalized. It wasn't until I had gotten home and grabbed my computer bag that I noticed that something was missing.
To be honest, I wasn't that shocked. In fact, I couldn't even really be that upset…because God told me to "back-up" my information. I had been warned.
So with that, I want to inspire all of you to continue to connect and listen to your intuition. It will guide you. It may not show you the "big" picture, but it will give you the next step on how to live your life.

Video Feature: 1960 Volkswagen Camper Bus with Wood Stove
The split window Volkswagen bus is easily one of the most iconic vehicles ever created. It might be difficult to find anyone who doesn't recognize them, even children who have little to no reason to know cars in any way.
The Volkswagen SO 23 was very early in the whole VW camper concept. There was the So 22 before it, but that was merely a test run in comparison. The VW SO23 camper came with a bed in the back, a childs cot that allowed the front of the bus to sleep two children, a nice little hatch up top, a side tent or awning, and a cocktail set.
The vehicle I was exploring was not stock. Most of the interior has been hand built to suit the needs of the current owner. Ryan, who owns this bus is an avid camper. He and his friends go off to places where the pavement ends, the gravel ends, and sometimes even the worn down trail can't be found. They take their buses through creeks and over rocky terrain and seek warmth in the winter next to their built in wood stoves.
As you can see, a pretty paint job isn't high on Ryan's priority list. He's more concerned with the vehicles ability to make it through waist high waters and provide him a comfy space to retire for the evening.

ANDREA SEABROOK, host:
It's NPR News and ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Andrea Seabrook.
'Tis the season for big blockbuster movie openings. One that came out this weekend imagines a post-apocalyptic world where all the human beings have turned into mutants, except, of course, for the character played by Will Smith. "I Am Legend" is based on a short novel first published in 1954. This is the fourth time the story's been adapted to the big screen.
NPR's Neda Ulaby wondered why.
NEDA ULABY: Maybe the idea of a lone human shooting guns at mutants is irresistible to certain filmmakers.
Mr. JOHN ADAMS (Editor, "Wasteland"): If they're like me, they're hoping someone will finally get it right.
ULABY: John Adams is a fan of post-apocalyptic science fiction. He edited an anthology of it called "Wasteland." He says in Richard Matheson's original novella, germ warfare leads to a ghastly worldwide plague.
Mr. ADAMS: It's one of the bleakest novellas I've ever read, for sure. The whole world's become vampires, and there's the one guy left. And it doesn't look good.
(Soundbite of movie, "The Last Man on Earth")
Mr. GIACOMO ROSSI-STUART (Actor): (As Ben Cortman) Morgan, come out.
ULABY: In the original book, the last man standing fortifies his little house against former friends and neighbors. They come out at night thirsting for his blood. The first film adaptation, from 1964, hews closest to the novel, but it's not close enough for Adams.
Mr. ADAMS: Richard Matheson wrote the screenplay for that movie, but then they made so many changes that he made them take his name off of it.
ULABY: "The Last Man on Earth" stars Vincent Price in what Adams calls an unforgivably hammy performance.
(Soundbite of movie, "The Last Man on Earth")
Mr. VINCENT PRICE (Actor): (As Dr. Robert Morgan) You're a freak. I'm a man, the last man.
Mr. ADAMS: The production values are just so terrible. I mean, it's not a good movie.
ULABY: The remake from 1971 pitted Charlton Heston against the ghoulish survivors. "The Omega Man" is notable now for a then-daring interracial romance and an amazing opening sequence that might be the template for half the world's video games: Heston cruises a deserted downtown Los Angeles in a red Ford Galaxy convertible, picking off mutants with a gun.
(Soundbite of movie, "The Omega Man")
Mr. AKIVA GOLDSMAN (Producer, "I Am Legend"): My first exposure to the story was "Omega Man."
ULABY: Akiva Goldsman produced and wrote the screenplay for "I Am Legend." It's the fourth remake. Goldsman says the appeal runs deeper than its hyper-survivalist storyline. He says it's a timeless existential fable.
Mr. GOLDSMAN: Feeling isolated and disconnected and feeling like there's nothing left to hope for — these are real, human experiences.
(Soundbite of movie, "I Am Legend")
Mr. WILL SMITH (Actor): (As Robert Neville) My name is Robert Neville. I'm a survivor, living in New York City. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South Street Seaport every day at midday when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there, if anyone is out there, I can provide food.
ULABY: Updating "I Am Legend" meant more to Goldsman than casting megastar Will Smith and moving the action to New York. Earlier versions were preoccupied by the Atomic Age, but today's "I Am Legend" has a faith-based message, articulated by one devoutly Christian survivor.
(Soundbite of movie, "I Am Legend")
Ms. ALICE BRAGA (Actress): (As Anna) The world is quieter now; you just have to listen. If you listen you can hear God's plan.
Mr. SMITH: (As Robert Neville) God's plan.
Ms. BRAGA: (As Anna): Yeah.
Mr. GOLDSMAN: We felt that people broke out into two categories in terrible circumstances, those who had hope and those who didn't have hope. And those with hope had a much better chance of survival.
ULABY: Hope here means faith in God as well as faith in science, and that's a new twist to Matheson's story. Still, Akiva Goldsman says every adaptation of "I Am Legend" reiterates the original's power.
Mr. GOLDSMAN: It all sort of mixes together, I think, overtime, and that the story adds to itself. Times change, movies change, and apparently, "I Am Legend" still keeps getting made.
ULABY: So we're due for the next remake, around 2028.

Mr Tucker is one of three front-runners to succeed Sir Mervyn King as governor next June. If he does not get the job, observers expect him to leave the Bank. His promotion or departure would leave the post vacant, with Bank insiders saying Mr Fisher is being prepared internally for the role.
The path from executive director of markets to deputy governor was the one taken by Mr Tucker when he was promoted in March 2009. Also like Mr Tucker, Mr Fisher is on the rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee as well as the Financial Policy Committee and has been a principle private secretary to a former Bank governor.
Mr Fisher is seen as pragmatic on matters of regulation, with fans in both the City and among the authorities. In a speech last week, he indicated that he was in favour of banks boosting their loss-absorbing capital buffers – in spite of industry opposition – while also expressing sympathy with banks' claims that they are doing their best for small businesses.
Even if Mr Fisher, 54, is the Bank's preferred candidate, he will face stiff opposition from outsiders as the position will be advertised publicly and the appointment made by the Chancellor. The final decision will be influenced by whoever gets the top job, with government sources saying that they would want to ensure a balance of skills and experience in the Bank.
Before Mr Tucker, the role was awarded to Sir John Gieve, who was permanent secretary at the Home Office. Before Sir John, it had gone to former Barclays deputy chairman Sir Andrew Large.
However, the prospect of a banker being parachuted into the role has diminished since the financial crisis and, more recently, the Libor-rigging scandal. Potential City candidates still include Lord Green, the former HSBC chairman who is now trade minister. The Treasury and the Bank declined to comment.

Review: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
In the midst of family drama this week, I managed to finish The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. It is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, a series written for children in grades 4-9. I ordered it from Paperback Swap after seeing a trailer for the upcoming movie at "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" this summer.
Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old boy who can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. He has attended a different school every year because every school he has attended has expelled him. Every time his class goes on a field trip, some kind of disaster occurs, and it is usually blamed on Percy. It turns out that Percy is a demi-god--the father he never knew is a Greek god--and the disasters that happen around him are caused by other Greek gods who are angry he was born and think he has stolen Zeus's lightning bolt. When his mother learns that the gods have figured out who Percy is, she races him to a summer camp for demi-gods, only to be confronted by a Minotaur. Percy gets in, but his mother disappears. The rest of the story consists of Percy learning who his father is and going on a quest to find Zeus's lightning bolt before the gods go to war over it (and hopefully free his mother from Hades in the process). His travels take him across the country and into the underworld, meeting Medusa, the furies, and various other immortals. Along the way, Percy is changed from a troubled kid into a hero.
This book is definitely written for kids. I'm not sure what I expected--perhaps something with a wider appeal like Harry Potter?--but this did not meet my expectations. I had a hard time with the characterization of Percy at first--he's a bit of a hothead--but later he has some admirable qualities. I think my problem with this book is that I'm not a kid. I kept figuring things out before the characters did, which always frustrates me, but I am not the target audience--of course an adult would catch on to the events before kids would. It's an exciting and action-packed story that kids would probably really enjoy. The references to Greek mythology are interesting and the way Riordan has drawn the mythology into present-day reality is really creative. I had to laugh that the entrance to the Underworld is located in Los Angeles, while Mount Olympus (where the gods live) is in New York. Is Riordan trying to say something?
I also thought there were a lot of (coincidental?) similarities to Harry Potter in the book. Percy's true nature is hidden from him, just like Harry. They both go to a special school for children with the same special ability (for Harry it's magic, for Percy it's demi-god abilities). They both have two close friends in their quest, one boy and one girl. They both battle beasts (three-headed dog, anyone?) and go on a quest for a magical and powerful object. There is an evil bad guy lurking in the wings, though Percy didn't get to confront him in the first book. There are differences between the two, but I was puzzled (and distracted) by such strong similarities.
I considered reading the next book in the series, but will probably put it off for a while. I'll probably go see the movie, so I'm glad I have a better idea what to expect. Ultimately, this book was not as good as other children's series I have loved (Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia for example).
Rating: 3/5 stars ★★★
This is my 11th book for the 1st in a Series Challenge. Just one more to go!

A few days ago I heard some buzz on Twitter and Facebook about a letter from some pastors in my denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA). People said it had showed up in my inbox, so I didn't pay any attention to the buzz--if the letter was meant for me, I would have received it, surely. And then a facebook friend posted the letter with the question, "what do you think of this?"
Here is a link to the complete letter, as published in the Presbyterian Outlook: "Pastors call for denomination to be "radically transformed" I encourage you to go read the letter. I'm not going to excerpt it, I am simply responding, because apparently it was written to the whole denomination. But go to the link and read it.
My first response was rather strong. All 45 signers on this letter are men. This doesn't mean that the letter has no merit, but it does mean that my first words were, "Please see yourselves out, boys."
The letter began with the greeting, "Brothers and Sisters in Christ." By itself that seems fairly innocuous, but I have been to my share of presbytery meetings over the last 15 years in 3 different presbyteries. When somebody begins a statement "Brothers and Sisters in Christ" or "My Esteemed Colleagues" or "Beloved Brethren" or any number of other endearments, the next words are bound to be something controversial--an insult disguised as concern, judgment clothed in love, an attempt to sugarcoat hard words. I've learned not to trust that greeting. I try hard not to use it.
The letter details the decline of our denomination (which is true of most mainline Christian denominations) over the last 40 years. And then it says this: "Homosexual ordination has been the flashpoint of controversy for the last 35 years. Yet, that issue — with endless, contentious "yes" and "no" votes — masks deeper, more important divisions within the PC(USA)."
It is easy to get caught up in this statement--I just backspaced over two paragraphs of my thoughts on this. But I believe the reference to homosexuality is a distraction--similar to the distraction of collecting only male signatures. It is a distraction intended to rile up those of us on the liberal edges of the denomination, thus further alienating the center and making the point for these pastors. The reference to meeting with the leadership of Covenant Network is also a distraction--this letter is not at all in keeping with the vision and mission of Covenant Network (and they have not yet responded).
Presbyterian polity smooths out the difference between large churches and small churches in our denomination. Every pastor has one vote. Every congregation gets one vote. Additional elder votes are granted to larger churches. Occasionally we add additional elder commissioners to balance between elders and ministers of the word and sacrament. This grants to small churches political power disproportionate to their size. It's how we do it in the Presbyterian Church (USA), and I imagine it is very frustrating for those who lead large churches. The writers of that letter are not just entirely men, they are also pastors of very large churches, commanding impressive budgets. A few statistics about the churches whose pastors signed this letter:
The smallest congregation has 190 members and an annual budget of $375,000. The next smallest has 591 members with an annual budget of $1,071,980. Of the 43 churches represented (not counting Presbyterians for Renewal), the average membership is 2309 members with an average annual budget of $3,765, 269. (All my statistics came from the pcusa's online membership stats published for the year 2009. These numbers are self-reported by the churches themselves.)
The tiny church I serve has 25 members. Our annual budget is $50,000. That is one-tenth of the annual deficit of the large PCUSA church next door in 2009. I work on a 1/3 time salary with no benefits. We worship, we visit the sick, we eat together, we care for our building. We do not have a color copier--or even a copier contract. I picked up our current black & white from Staples on sale for $179. It sporadically allows me to print 2-sided.
I say this to acknowledge that this letter indeed was not meant for me. The people I serve do not wish to attend a church with 2309 members. We'd be real happy with 50, and we're working on a process to get ourselves there.
I'm not everybody's cup of tea as a pastor--honestly, how many people go church shopping and think "Gee, I'd love it if the pastor was a divorced, queer woman?" But I am a pastor who serves a community. And more broadly I am connected with people who would not step foot in a church, but who sense in my own oddness that I might understand their life.
Would I love to serve a tall steeple church? Well sure. There's great work there, a healthy salary and housing assistance. There's medical insurance, for Pete's sake. I'd love a color copier and a Sunday school bigger than 3. I'd love the energy that comes from a room full of hundreds of people all buzzing for Christ. But that's not where I've been called.
My response to my "Brothers and Sisters in Christ," who wish to be well rid of me in this denomination, is that you are free to go--I'm not holding you back. But I do not have words for my sorrow at your clear contempt for who I am and my ministry.
Since we have not yet passed the nFOG, may I draw your attention to G-4.0000, Chapter IV of our Book of Order, "The Church and Its Unity"? I know I'm not the first to point to this chapter, so why belabor the point? And I know we could go back and forth citing the Book of Order and the Confessions and Scripture, and I know that we would remain entrenched in our positions, regardless of how many times we called each other Brother or Sister in Christ's name.
What I am wondering is this: why are you holding the rest of the church responsible for the declines in your own memberships? Because when I looked at the membership gains and losses for the same period of 2009, the 43 churches attached to this letter declined by an average of 52 members that year, or 2%. Some gained, others lost, but you too are seeing the decline. I do not blame you for the losses in my own tiny church. It is not the responsibility of the tall steeple, more conservative church in the next township, that my own church is not growing. We have real concerns within our own fellowship and township we are attending to. But I don't blame you. I celebrate that a person who does not find God at my tiny church can go next door and perhaps encounter Her there. I have even shared table with the pastors from next door, although I'll admit it was a bit uneasy.
It's not that I begrudge you leaving. It's not that I think I'm righteously entitled to stay. It is the contempt and disrespect with which you choose to fire your warning shot. Let me offer an example from Twitter*:
A few weeks ago one of my Twitter followers tweeted an announcement: "I have drastically cut back on my followers and people I follow. If you can see this tweet, consider yourself lucky." Sure enough, I checked, and I was one of the people he had unfollowed. I then watched a dozen people tweet their relief to this guy, "Wow, thanks for keeping me in the in crowd". "Whew! Glad I made the cut!" Etc. I unfollowed him, although we've had several good conversations over the last two years. But what I remember is that he felt the need to broadcast his disrespect for me--it wasn't enough to quietly let go and unfollow.
It was just a Twitter connection. This is just a church denomination. Most of you I have never met, you don't pay my rent, I don't bring you soup when you're sick. But I wonder at your need to make others feel small. And I think that might be the start of a good and healthy conversation, my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
*And mea culpa. For in writing of this Twitter example, I have made another feel small. Remembering to pick at the log in my own eye is so dang hard.
A final update for those of you following this little drama: my Tweep and I made up and shook hands. A happy ending after all. And dang if he wasn't incredibly gracious about it too.

text: Hi. I've been trying to get WPA-EAP working correctly on my galaxy. I'm running galaxo 1.6.2, and have failed to set it up through the gui. Also wifi helper does not work as I believe it edits wpa_supplicant.conf, which the galaxy does not use. So I've tried to edit my bcm_supp.conf manually. I can successfully adb pull it off the device and edit to include an entry for the WPA-EAP network (that works on a computer), and then push it back onto the device. After I've edited it the wifi will start once showing the new configuration listed and will attempt to connect, however if I stop and resart the wifi I get the error "unable to start wifi". I assume this has something to do with the permissions on the bcm_supp.conf file? Can anyone tell me the correct way to edit it and put it back on the device. Thanks

It's a short list this month! Wow, March flew by!
I'm obsessed. They are identical to the YSL Glossy Stains! (Did you know YSL and Maybelline are owned the same umbrella company -L'Oréal?) This product is a gloss, lipstick and stain all in one. Each color is beautiful. I made my Mom get a conservative nude, and she loves it. There is a color out there for every age and style. This is a much better option than that drying lipstick in the bottom of your purse.
2. The BOOK Divergent!
I have not seen the movie yet, but the book was great! I listened to it on Audible. The story is about a futuristic dystopian society with a love story between teenagers woven in. The author, Veronica Roth, overuses the words "wrenched" and "winced"… but other than that annoyance, I highly recommend the book.
If you do a lot of driving or like to listen to talk radio while you do housework..etc., consider downloading audible and subscribing to the service. Each month you get a free audio book with a $14 monthly subscription. Your first month is free. The app is designed really well. There is nothing more fun than listening to a book while I drive or clean up the house. 😉
I've had great results with this app. I never understood how it worked, or trusted it, until I tried it. You place it under your pillow at night and it monitors the quality of your sleep. I believe it's $1.99 in the app store. It's worth it. I love to SEE on a graph how I slept during the night. The alarm options are soothing and not startling or annoying. I've been waking up much happier using this app.

About the Book:
One dress. Four women. An amazing destiny.
Charlotte Malone is getting married. Yet all is not settled in the heart of Birmingham's chic bridal boutique owner. Charlotte can dress any bride to perfection-except herself. When she discovers a vintage mint-condition wedding gown in a battered old trunk, Charlotte embarks on a passionate journey to discover the women who wore the gown before her.
Emily in 1912. Mary in 1939. And Hillary in 1968. Each woman teaches Charlotte something about love in her own unique way. Woven within the threads of the beautiful hundred-year-old gown is the truth about Charlotte's heritage, the power of faith, and the beauty of finding true love
I fell in love with the cover when I saw it for the first time. I don't know what it is about weddings, especially bridal gowns, and women, but I am a sucker for all things wedding-related even though I am already married. This story was a wonderful read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.
The Wedding Dress tells us the story of four very different women whose stories are woven together by a dress. The main character, Charlotte, owns a bridal gown store and can find a dress for every woman but herself. I really enjoyed learning about all the different women, Emily, Hillary, Mary and Charlotte as she goes about finding about the women that wore the vintage wedding dress before her and how this particular dress impacts each of their lives over the span of multiple generations. It reminded me a lot of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants because miraculously this wedding gown did not need any alterations between the four women.
It is a wonderfully crafted tale of true love, faith and redemption. You will enjoy learning about the characters, especially Emily and Charlotte, and grow to really be invested in them as a character. I appreciated the little doses of God sprinkled through the book to tie in the spirituality aspect as well. What a wonderful reminder about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is always in style, never wears out and fits everyone!
This story is as beautiful as the cover. I know you will fall in love with it!

Europe's first airport on artificial island opens in Turkey
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu officially opened Europe's first airport on an artificial island on May 22. The airport is opened as a morning Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul carrying 136 passengers touched down on its runway.
The new airport, off the coast of the Black Sea provinces of Ordu and Giresun cost around 360 million Turkish liras ($132.6 million).
Around 35 million tons of rocks were used to fill a 1.8-million-square-meter area of the sea.
The airport's runway is 3,000 meters long and 45 meters wide.
Although only serving Istanbul and Ankara flights at the moment, the airport has plans to expand to 42 destinations.
The number of tourists and investors in the Black Sea region is expected to increase with the opening of the new airport.
"We expect that there will be a huge increase in the flow of tourists… Arab investors bought over 100 residences in Ordu, especially in the districts of Akkuş, Ünye, Fatsa and Kabadüz," said Ordu Governor Irfan Balkanlıoglu.

Sancti Spiritus First to Use Herberferon in Cuba
According to the latest statistical records, skin cancer —the one with the highest incidence in the territory in recent years— continues to rise rapidly in Sancti Spiritus
Sancti Spíritus becomes the first Cuban territory to use Heberferon, a drug created by the Center of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB) to fight skin cancer, after the results obtained in the clinical trials which led to the cure or remission of the disease in several groups of patients.
According to the latest statistical records, skin cancer —the one with the highest incidence in the territory in recent years— continues to rise rapidly in this province, where more than 3 600 cases have been reported.
The product was first used at the provincial hospital about a year and a half ago as a clinical phase IV trial and was then introduced in one of the local polyclinics. It is administered as an intratumoral and perilesional injection in nine divided doses two or three times a week, with a concentration that varies depending on the size and time of tumor evolution. Sometimes two cycles are needed.
Adverse reactions are usually mild and reversible: flu-like syndrome with fever, headache, malaise, joint and bone pains, for which it is recommended to take dipyrone before getting the drug administered.

Can Heberferon be ordered or prescribed by Doctors in Canada?
