Everyone who said in Friday's Poll Position that the Legislature should work on education during the 2012 session got their wish on Day One. Before lunchtime, the Senate passed a measure held over from last year to prohibit school boards from using seniority as the primary consideration when deciding which teachers to lay off.
SB 184 now heads to the governor's desk, as the senators agreed to changes in the bill made last year by the House. Democrats argued that the bill takes away local control from school boards; Republicans argued that it prevents situations in which good teachers are fired simply because they have been in their jobs for less time than others. Sen. Chip Rogers added that, because less-tenured teachers are paid less, local boards may end up firing more teachers to meet budget-cut targets if they go with a "last in, first out" approach.
The Senate also passed a relatively minor bill allowing State Schools Superintendent John Barge to hire some of his own staff, putting him on par with other constitutional officers.
If you're looking for an explanation as to why the Senate hit the ground running rather than, as the House did today and tradition would have it, going with a mostly ceremonial first day, you could do worse than look to the on-going power struggle between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Republican senators. The Barge bill was brought up by Rogers, the Senate majority leader, and SB 184 was brought up by Tommie Williams, the Senate president pro tempore — that is, the men at the top of the anti-Cagle faction. The knock on their "experiment" in leadership last year (Speaker David Ralston's word) was that it led to dysfunction in their chamber. It wasn't too hard to see that they were trying to get off to a fast start this year to forestall such claims.
If there's to be a Cagle restoration, so to speak, look for it to happen in the first few days of the session.

This is a bill I could support. A "first step" in breaking up the "education is a sacred cow" mentality in this state. The GOP loses the teacher vote but…they would not get it anyway.

And just what do those measures have to do with improving education in Georgia? Wouldn't we be better off hiring, rather than firing and laying off, teachers?

the Senate passed a measure held over from last year to prohibit school boards from using seniority as the primary consideration when deciding which teachers to lay off.
These things are usually confusing to me, as I think they are intended to be for most of us out here. It says they can't use seniority as the primary consideration but does it say what they can use as the primary consideration? If not, that could leave a whole new bunch of unintended consequences. This is what the link shows, as the FIrst Summary:
A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Part 7 of Article 17 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to termination, suspension, nonrenewal, demotion, or reprimand of teachers and other school personnel, so as to provide requirements for reduction in force policies; to provide for sanctions; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
If you can make heads or tails out of that, you're a smarter man than me.

Imagine that: Democrats arguing for "local control"?!
Then the other day in an article covering state tax reforms a Democrat was arguing for "cutting subsides instead of raising the tax rates" to make folks "Pay Their Fair Share"
Watch'em close Kyle, me thinks these are Donkeys brought in from Troy.
January 9th, 2012

It looks like the possibility exists that to improve the bottom line, school boards will now fire the most experienced (i.e. highest paid) teachers first. I am cynical enough to believe saving money so the rich can pay lower taxes is more important to the typical Republican official than keeping good teachers.
Of course this will backfire. Talented people looking at a teaching career will decide not to when they realize they are more likely to be fired as soon as they start making a decent salary, to make way for lower priced labor. Great plan, Republicans. This will greatly improve education in Georgia.
January 9th, 2012

When the "Teacher of the Year" is let go to retain the most experienced (which has happened), we have a problem.
Survival of the fittest, anyone? Performance or experience? What's in the best interest of our children?

On a more serious note Kyle, I'll side with the sentiments my County Chair expressed concerning this legislative session: Hopefully our legislator will do no harm.
Then again, we got issues… Watch'em really close Kyle.

What's in the best interest of our children?
Vouchers that let the "public education funding" follow the student. Then and only then does the performance of education stand a chance of ever trumping the politics in education.
And I don't want to hear another (idiot)Republican purpose more gambling to fund education.
More money will not solve the problems.
But if any other (smart)Republican purposes more gambling to aid in support of a decent State Healthcare Program that offers patients purchase options in lieu of the ObumerCare mandates I'm listening and ready to fight for the cause.
Let's do it… before it is done to us, please?!

Or consider Mr. Obama's favorite subject, nuclear proliferation. In April 2009, he gave a speech in Prague dreaming of a nuclear-free world. Almost immediately, North Korea tested a weapon, Pakistan expanded its arsenal, Iran moved ahead with its illicit programs, and China and Russia undertook extensive nuclear modernization schemes.
Our little tard obozo is gonna get us all killed.

Oh yes, that is a fast start and a way to get rid of more experienced teachers with fresh out of school, wet behind the ears, LOW Paid teachers. What would really be good is if we could get rid of State legislatures in the same way before they can borrow more money than they can pay back. What a bunch of bozos.

Here is the fundamental problem facing every educator in American schools: How do I provide a world-class education to poorly-raised children?
And educators in Georgia? Good luck with that!
Georgia's many cultural deficiencies only serve to compound the basic problem. Broken homes, alcohol, drug and meth abuse, child abuse and neglect, incest, teen pregnancy, poverty, etc, etc. are all epidemic in Georgia, accepted as part of the culture. Historically, education in Georgia, a state founded for the dregs of British society, has always been ugly, since long before the republic Georgia has brought up the rear.
The schools reflect the values of the culture. Is there really any wonder why they are so bad in Georgia?
So here's where I agree with the so-called conservatives: Students 'raised' in a culture of violence and neglect (especially one that glorifies ignorance and superstition (fundamnentalism) as much as Southron culture does) face an uphill struggle regardless of the amount of money spent on their education.
Sarah Palin is my metaphor here – no matter how much lipstick you put on Georgia education, you still have a pig.
As long as we are talking about the Wasillabillies – Todd has weighed in for Newt, I wonder who Glenn Rice is endorsing for president?

If it hadn't been for Atlanta public schools cheating on their test scores, Georgia would have finished 50th instead of 49th.
Eliminate Atlanta from Georgia, an idea I am quite fond of, Georgia's test scores would be in the top twenty, no problem.

Considering the already high turnover in the teaching profession, I am comforted to know that our legislature is looking at ways to get rid of even more.

Come on people get real for a minute. A high school in Cobb county had to lay off the Head football coach and two assistant coaches a couple years ago and keep at least 3 phDs that do nothing more then teach their classes and go home every afternoon. We all know this can not happen again because football is King in the south.
On a serious note for a minute: Why do we need a teacher with a master degree or higher, making $60,000 plus per year teaching our children in Pre-K or K-3?

No one has pointed out the elephant in the room. How does one measure teacher performance in public schools where the teachers have to teach the children that show up. Are you going to fire the teachers in the "bad" schools in the areas where the thugs run the show? If so, you will have a never ending parade of new teachers. If you are a teacher in an affluent area that only has to teach children from wealthy backgrounds that don't come to school hungry and tired, you will not have that sword hanging over your head. Your job will be much easier. So, all you people in the legislature that don't know your a$$ from your elbow, how are you going to measure teacher performance in an equitable fashion???
If I didn't know better, I would see this as a first step to dismantling the public school system. All other attempts have failed.

@td We don't need teachers with PhDs or MA/MS degrees teaching and making 60K, but it is the only way they can be paid a decent wage. When was the last time you heard ANY child with ambition and smarts say "I aspire to be a teacher". First, in Georgia, I guess they wouldn't use the word 'aspire'. Second, never. Why? It really doesn't pay. to be one.

"What's in the best interest of our children?"
The children? What do they have to do with any of this other than being pawns in the game? The children don't matter to our legislators, DOLLARS matter to our legislators… that is dollars for their own and their cohorts bottom line. Georgia is quickly becoming the leader in the field vying for the most balatantly corrupt legislative bodies in the nation, overtaking Florida and SC, nipping at the heels of Miss. and right in the rear-view mirror of Louisiana. Ironically, our voting citizens cheer and applaud as this occurs, ensuring reelection and furthering the process.
The title to this piece should bring creepy shivers to anyone observing the doings of our legislature. When it "hits the ground running" it has a purpose to it, and constituents everywhere should check their wallets and avoid dropping the soap cuz no matter what happens as result of legislative action we citizens will be paying the cost. The best Georgians could hope for would be a permanent recess and preservation of the already-corrupt status quo – like a water leak, corruption, cronyism and ignorance will not go away, it'll just get bigger. Until, that is, the majority of we voters shake off the hood of ignorance and start listening and voting with our minds instead of our hearts. Not holding my breath

Deborah in Athens@6:44 a.m.
Thank you for your remarks. Below are some facts regarding the relationship of poor educational results to poverty.
Two of the three major international tests—the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study and the Trends in International Math and Science Study—break down student scores according to the poverty rate in each school. The tests are given every five years.
The most recent results (2006) showed the following: students in U.S. schools where the poverty rate was less than 10 percent ranked first in reading, first in science, and third in math. When the poverty rate was 10 percent to 25 percent, U.S. students still ranked first in reading and science. But as the poverty rate rose still higher, students ranked lower and lower. Twenty percent of all U.S. schools have poverty rates over 75 percent. The average ranking of American students reflects this.
It should be noted that those Americans in poverty increased from 31 million to 46 million within the decade from 2000 to 2010.
To improve education in Georgia, legislators must place more emphasis on lessening poverty in Georgia.
January 10th, 2012

Mary Elizabeth….."To improve education in Georgia, legislators must place more emphasis on lessening poverty in Georgia."
Citizens should place more emphasis on lessening poverty in their communities. Personal responsibility.
January 10th, 2012

Mary….also….public schools tend to drive education into poverty.

London 2012 Olympic medals unveiled- 28 Jul 2011 00:00:00
To mark one year to go to the London 2012 Games, the London 2012 Olympic medals have been unveiled by Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, and London 2012 Chair Seb Coe at a special ceremony, broadcast live on BBC1, in Trafalgar Square, London.
The Olympic medals will be made in Britain and have been designed by London artist David Watkins.
Seb Coe, LOCOG chair, said: 'I hope that seeing the design of the London 2012 Olympic medals will be a source of inspiration for the thousands of athletes around the world who are counting down the year before they compete at the greatest show on earth'.
'All of our preparations are focused on ensuring the athletes are at the heart of the Games, and I believe that through this rigorous process the panel of experts have selected an artist and a design for medals that all athletes would be proud to own'.
The Olympic medals' circular form is a metaphor for the world, the front of the medal always depicts the same imagery at the summer Games - the Greek Goddess of Victory, Nike, stepping out of the depiction of the Parthenon to arrive in the Host City.
IOC President Jacques Rogge added: 'Highlighting the effort and achievement of the athletes, as well as the city where the Games are held, these beautiful medals will be a fitting reward for the Olympic medallists of 2012'.
'It is the pinnacle of a sporting career to become an Olympic champion but I am confident that receiving one of these medals will make it all the more special in London next year. Congratulations to LOCOG for creating a design that will inspire the Olympians of 2012.'
The sport and discipline of the medal-winning athletes will be engraved on the rim of every medal.
Artist David Watkins commented: 'It is exciting to think that the finest athletes in the world will be wearing my medal design next summer. Its key symbols juxtapose, front and back, the goddess Nike for the spirit and tradition of the Games, and the River Thames for the city of London. I hope the medal will be enjoyed and treasured as a record of great personal achievements in 2012'.
The independent panel selecting the medal design and advising LOCOG was chaired by Sir John Sorrell (Co-Chair, the Sorrell Foundation) with Ade Adepitan (Paralympian & TV presenter) as deputy chair and Iwona Blazwick OBE (Director of the Whitechapel Gallery), Sir Mark Jones (V&A Director & medals expert), Catherine Johnson (writer) and Martin Green (LOCOG Head of Ceremonies).
In 2012 more than 2,100 Olympic medals will be presented in 302 Olympic victory ceremonies in more than 30 venues over 16 days of competition.
The ore for the medals is supplied by London 2012 sponsor Rio Tinto and is mined at Rio Tinto's Kennecott Utah Copper Mine near Salt Lake City in America, as well as from the Oyu Tolgoi project in Mongolia.
The medals will go into production later this year at Royal Mint's headquarters in Llantrisant, South Wales.
The design and designer of the London 2012 Paralympic medals will be announced by the team later this year.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will have Joe Elliott as their starting quarterback once again when they face the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Sunday's Banjo Bowl.
Head coach Tim Burke said veteran quarterback Buck Pierce will not be available for the contest and that the club doesn't plan on making drastic changes.
"We are going to win with what we have," Burke said.
Pierce suffered torn ligaments in his left foot when Eskimos defensive lineman Ted Laurent tackled him on July 13.
Burke said it was a lack of execution and not effort that led to the 52-0 shutout at the hands of the Roughriders in Week 10.
Elliott completed nine of 19 passes for 61 yards with one interception in the contest. His reliever Alex Brink completed five of seven passes for 35 yards.
The Bombers are now 2-7 and have gone eight years without a win over the Roughriders in the Labour Day Classic.

Nominations for the Labour leadership candidates opened today. The five men and one woman who have entered the contest each need 33 backers from among their fellow MPs. Some of them will fail to achieve this and whatever one's view of them as individual politicians, that is a pity, because the debate needs to be as wide as possible.
The process is long, with the hustings taking place during June and July, after which the various electoral colleges of the party will begin to vote, the result being announced on 25 September during the Labour Conference.
All the candidates had to address Labour's failure to connect with its core electorate and most of them have done so in a manner which gives hope that lessons have been learned from the mistakes and weaknesses of the New Labour "project" which is now well and truly over.
But the manner in which two of the candidates have dealt with the Iraq war typifies what can so easily go wrong when any organisation is trying to deal with catastrophic failure – recrimination on the one hand and a glossing over of that failure on the other.
John McDonnell has pointed the finger at his fellow candidates Ed Balls and Ed Miliband, neither of whom were MPs when the decision to go to war was taken. Sneering at their post-war change of heart as a "road to Damascus conversion" and accusing them of lacking "the courage of their convictions" to speak out earlier (there might be a contradiction in those two concepts) does not do much to address and begin a process of rectification of the mindset which had such a terrible outcome. His tone - belligerent and a trifle bilious – suggests a man who will wrap himself in his own purity at the expense of constructive engagement.
It is notable that Diane Abbott, the other anti-war candidate, has refrained from personal attacks although she has made the point that "unlike the frontrunners" she voted against the war. It is unclear who she considers to be the frontrunners – among pro-war candidates, only David Miliband and Andy Burnham were MPs in 2003.
Ed Miliband has been unequivocal, believing that UN weapons inspectors were "not given enough time" and that the government's decision to back George Bush led to "a catastrophic loss of trust".
At the other end of the spectrum, David Miliband has expressed the view that the party must "move on" - a concept with unfortunate connotations of amateur psychology and the 'self-help' bookshelf. No doubt there are many on the Blairite wing of the party who would agree with him. But to seek to forget a decision to engage in an illegal and immoral war which, not least because of its criminal lack of planning for peace and reconstruction, has done such immeasurable harm to the people of Iraq and has left Britain hated through the Islamic world, is as unrealistic as it is immoral. For a Labour government to follow a bellicose and right-wing US president into war on a false prospectus has damaged trust in this country and no dialogue which seeks to sweep that disastrous decision under the carpet can have any hope of success.

Schools lining up for Harrison twins
The Harrison twins will be taking unofficial visits to UK, Nova and UMD.
It's said that guard play wins championships in college basketball. Well two guards, Andrew Harrison and his twin brother Aaron seem to be some of the best guards in line for the 2013 class. Ranked No. 1 and No. 8 in Rivals respectively, the guards are interested in Kentucky, Villanova and Maryland.
When it comes to UK, the dribble drive offense interests their father Aaron Harrison Sr. Tyreke Evans, Derrick Rose and Brandon Knight are recent lottery picks that succeeded in John Calipari's offensive scheme.
"If Kentucky played the Princeton offense, we wouldn't be looking at Kentucky," Aaron Harrison Sr. said. "I have to look out for them and put them in a position to be successful."
Andrew is a strong 6-4 lead guard who can get into the lane at will and is a deft passer. Aaron generally plays the two-guard and is equipped with a scoring edge. Their ability to mesh with each other in the backcourt is a reason why Villanova is in on the duo.
"You can look at the guards they've had," Harrison Sr. "I like how head coach Jay Wright uses them."
Randy Foye and Kyle Lowry are some of the players that have excelled in the Wildcats guard-heavy system.
One school that has to be mentioned is Maryland due to the families' relationship with head coach Mark Turgeon. Turgeon was able to built a bond with the family while he served as the coach for Texas A&M.
"When I let these guys go. I want to do know that they are going to be in good hands ... be with somebody who will take care of them," Harrison Sr. said. "I trust him [Coach Turgeon]."
The twins will be visiting Kentucky's Midnight Madness this weekend. They will follow that up with unofficial visits to Villanova and Maryland. Baylor and Texas are also working on securing a committed from the Houston tandem.
The Houston Defenders duo combined to take home the No. 1 spot in our travel team rankings this summer. As they get ready for the high school season at Travis High School, one thing is for sure, they will be attending college together.
"I got a 6 bedroom house and they still sleep in the same room," Harrison Sr. said. "I'm as sure as the sun is going to rise, they will be going to school together."
Watch the video below courtesy of Ball is Life, to see the tandem put on a show.

I was going to do that, but I am leaving that to the programmer who is using the lib. I wanted to keep this lib as small as possible to allow for a small footprint on the MCU. I do see the advantage of this but I can also see some performance issues as well. If there is a large enough request, I can throw it in there and update the repo.
Thanks for your feedback!

Members of Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas are dedicated to preaching against the "Soul-damning, nation-destroying notion that it is ok to be gay" and they are coming to Lubbock. Now they are planning to picket several places they see as "gay friendly" here in the city.
The church's motto is "God Hates Fags" and they will be protesting the Buddy Holly Museum. The museum displays eye glasses of Elton John's, a known homosexual. Who'd of thought a simple pair of Elton's glasses could bring such controversy?
Westboro Baptist's Pastor, Fred Phelps says, "Elton John isn't famous for his musical ability anymore. He's famous as an international aggressive militant sodomite that's spreading that fag life from coast to coast and pole to pole and shore to shore."
A group from Phelps' church will be at the Buddy Holly Museum on January 12th in protest of Elton's eyewear. The museum's director, Catherine Prose, is well aware the protestors are coming, but will say little to fuel their fire. She says, "The glasses are a permanent object in our collection and we have plans to extend that collection and we have no comment on the protestors."
The museum isn't Westboro Baptist's only target. Lubbock High School will also feel their wrath because there are some who want a Gay/Straight Alliance or GSA group in the school. The school opposed the possibility, but that's not stopping Pastor Phelps from blasting the GSA. He says, "They exist only to propagandize and spread that lying notion that it's ok to be gay." Phelps says he wants to know where our local preachers were when Elton John's glasses were allowed as a "shrine" here in Lubbock and when homosexuals "Invaded our high schools to inflict filth on young people."
Brad Jurkovich, Pastor at Southcrest Baptist Church in Lubbock, believes homosexuality is a sin, but his approach is much different than Phelps'. "We love people, we communicate the love of Jesus Christ and, if they put their faith in Jesus, all sins are forgiven- homosexual or otherwise." And what does Phelps say to that? He says, "That's a favorite lie right out of hell. Nobody learned that lie reading the bible."
Phelps' church group also plans to picket the "gay infested" Texas Tech and five area dog kennels they claim are "queer friendly churches." The protests are scheduled for 7 a.m. Monday, January 12th and the group says they will be peaceful. Pastor Phelps says they work closely with local police in an effort to protect themselves.

Today Benefis is opening up their upgraded Walk In Care Center and Radiology lab, the goal is to bring medical attention further into the 21st century.
"One of the things that we're always looking to do is to be able to provide that level of care more efficiently and so these systems kind of remove some of the burdens of things that before doctors would have to do. this expedites the process of people getting through the registration process and also through the preliminary things they need in order to take care of patients like labs and x-rays, so if we can do more efficiently so that the patients can have a better care experience and doctors can see more patients," explains Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Gregory Tierney.
The completion of 12 new exam rooms and 2 new x-ray rooms couldn't have come at a better time for Benefis Hospital.
"Obviously Benefis is trying to meet the needs of both the community and the region, we have seen an extraordinary bug growth and the number of patients trying to access our web site," says Dr. Tierney.
The $700,000 upgrade added a brand new feature to the clinic to make service much faster for patients.
"Well I think probably the newest thing is the kiosk which is people who if they have ever been through an airport and would probably recognize it, but it's a point of service thing that allows patients to begin the access the process right initially as they come in here without having to stand in line,"says Dr. Tierney.
The Chief Medical Officer also hopes folks from the community are as excited as he is to incorporate all this new technology into the medical world.
"Certainly it's been a work in progress every time we complete one of these projects we're always proud to show them off and excited to have this part of our new system," explains Dr. Tierney.
Benefis Hospital is very excited to show off their upgraded equipment to the public and will have an open house for folks to walk through and see the additions for themselves Saturday November 9th from 4 to 7 PM.

Contrary to popular belief, neither our ELOHIM (God) nor His Divine Son gave mankind "religion" nor were we ever told to give ourselves any kind of labels. Yet, people today are placing all kinds of labels on themselves: Christian, Messianic, Hebrew Roots, etc. If we absolutely have to put a label on ourselves, we prefer the label of "Netzarim", or Nazarenes, because they were the original followers of Yeshua (whom Christians call Jesus) who lived according to Torah and the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the Netzarim).
We believe that YHWH (pronounced Yah-way) is the Creator; that Yeshua (which means "YHWH is Salvation" is our Messiah; and that Torah ("Divine Instructions in Righteousness/the first five Books of the Bible are as valid for Believers today as they were "in the beginning". Netzarim follow an ancient and future calendar based on Torah...
Yeshua did NOT come to bring any "new religions" or to "abolish" God's original Divine Instructions - but yet there are many who are teaching this lie! In Matthew 24 Yeshua Himself warned His disciples that it would happen, and Paul (whose writings Christians have misunderstood and are using as "proof" that Torah was abolished at the cross) wrote to his friend, Timothy the following warning - which is rapidly unfolding in these end times that we are experiencing right now:
2 Timothy 3: 1. But know this: That in the latter days hard times will come: 2. and men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, unyielding towards their own people, deniers of grace, wicked, 3. unloving, addicted to irreconcilable malicious gossips, ferocious, haters of the good, 4. treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of Elohim, 5. having a form of respect for Elohim but wide from the power of Elohim. Them who are such, repel from you. 6. For of them are they who creep into this and that house and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts, 7. who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth. (AENT)
Yeshua - the Word of YHWH (John 1:1-14) was a tallit-wearing, Torah observant, Seventh Day Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher Jew who came to proclaim the Kingdom of YHWH; not to bring any "religion" or to abolish His Father's Divine Instructions in Righteousness (Torah), without which we would have NO blueprint for moral, holy living.
Yeshua Mashiyach (whom Christians call Jesus) who was YHWH-Come-in-the-Flesh because of His Divine Nature, made a way for each one to receive the anointing of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy/Set-Apart Spirit) and learn His Word according to the Tanach/"Old Testament" which consists of the Torah/Divine Instructions in Righteousness, the Neviim/prophets; and Ketuvim/writings. Yeshua was a Jew living in a Jewish land among Jewish people. All the apostles were Jewish as were the writers of the Gospels (except for Luke, Colossians 4:11-14). (Some insist Simon was a Caananite, using Matthew 10:4 as proof; but the Aramaic word "qanana" can mean both "Caananite" and "zealot." In Luke 6:15 and Mark 3:18 both words "tanana" and "quanana" are translated as "zealot.")
Painting by Tamra Cutrer, referencing Matthew 24: 31: "And he will send his Messengers with a large trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other."
Many believe that anyone who follows Torah is "under the law" and that the "Old Testament" was only for the Jews and that Torah is only for "the Jews." But, how can this be true, when there were no Jews until after Jacob fathered the Tribe of Yehudah or Judah, where the term "Jew" originated? (See Genesis 29:35; Matthew 1:1-2.) But yet, EVERYONE up until that time (except, of course, the pagans and heathens who were believers in other gods) was Torah observant.
Cain and Abel gave sacrifices, and they weren't Jews; and Noah knew the difference between "clean and unclean" and he wasn't a Jew, either. Neither were the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - but they all obeyed YHWH! That's because they knew that He (via His Torah/Divine Instructions in Righteousness) was showing them how to live holy, set apart lives. He meant Torah for ALL, as we can see in Numbers 15:13-16, wherein He reiterated FOUR TIMES that EVERYONE who chose Him would have to do exactly as His Chosen people - who were Torah observant:
Numbers 15: 13 "'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 14 For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, he must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.'"
Read in context we can see that any Torah-less non-Jew/Hebrew/Israelite is an "alien"/foreigner. God was very specific what non-Jews/Hebrews were to do: The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you...."Living among" means not necessarily physically, but rather, it refers to all those who have accepted the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They MUST be Torah observant, just like the Houses of Israel and Judah were with whom God made His New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:32)!
Note that YHWH did not make His New Covenant with the Gentiles; He made it with those who were obedient to His divine Instructions! Same God, same rules for both the "natural" and the grafted-in" children. It could not be any clearer....
So...what has changed?
Click on the Torah scroll and brace yourself....
The Tanach (OT) reveals that His Chosen were called Hebrews, which means "to cross over" - was is what Abraham did in Genesis 12; see also Genesis 14:13). The Tribe of Judah was chosen to teach the world about Torah (Genesis 49:10, Micah 4:2) and: YHWH caused Yeshua to be born into the Tribe of Yehudah/Judah.
Being Torah observant is not just about "reading the Old Testament" but LIVING it by being obedient to the "forever" commands found within the Torah (first five Books). Yeshua came not to replace YHWH or abolish His Divine rules; He came to fulfill - which did not mean "put an end to" but, rather, to fulfill His purpose by coming to Earth and personally showing people how to obey God through Torah, to show us how to live with each other according to His Father's Torah, and then to die as our Final SIN Sacrifice.
Netzarim try to view the entire Bible through a Hebrew mindset and adhere to YHWH's teachings instead of allowing ourselves to be swayed by man's opinions. We believe that Yeshua was predicted by, and succeeded, Moses; that He was foreshadowed throughout the Tanach ("Old Testament"); and that He did NOT abolish the Law/Torah, as He clearly stated in Matthew 5:17-18.
Why do we believe that Yeshua did NOT "do away with the law" (Torah)? Because YHWH's Divine Instructions had many "forever" commands, and "forever" hasn't ended yet! Man has no right to ignore Torah or Yeshua, and come up with his own theology and own "religious holidays"! While the COVENANT changed as God promised in Jeremiah 31:31, His Torah did not. "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89)."
God's provisions have not changed; the penalty for disobedience has not changed; and God's promises have not changed. Yeshua Himself said He was here ONLY to do His Father's will; not negate His Father's will or abolish His "forever" commands. We simply want to adhere to YHWH's Word:
Jeremiah 6: 16 Here is what Adonai says: "Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask about the ancient paths, 'Which one is the good way?' Take it, and you will find rest for your souls...." (CJB)
So, instead of Jews and Christians fighting each other (where NOBODY wins!), how about tossing aside our pride and begin to do G-d's will, for a change, and working toward the same goal? After all, it's all about God; not us! Please check out the teachings of Ariel Cohen Alloro who is diligently working toward this goal.
If you have an hour to spare and you want to see something will "blow you away" then please watch this eye opening video entitled, The Hebrew language, the DNA of Creation by Rabbi Mordechai Kraft. This video is all about how YHWH created the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, with each letter and each shape meaning something, and each letter having a numerical value. He SPOKE the universe into being with those 22 letters that contain the secrets of what "life" means for us humans....

The impeccable beauty and the grandeur of Taj Mahal in Agra, India have intrigued many architects and even commoners to know in depth about the architecture of the Taj Mahal. The architectural techniques and styles that have been applied in the making of the Taj Mahal have rendered it one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is truly amazing to know that Taj Mahal's Architectural Techniques and Styles have been inspired by as varied as Persian, Indian and Turkish designs.
The intricate and refined Architectural techniques and styles of Taj Mahal have drawn the attention of many of the esteemed architects, engineers, historians and common man alike across the globe. Of the various elements of the Taj Mahal the one that catches the immediate attention of the onlookers is the imposing spherical dome. The architectural features of the dome reflect the genius of Ismail Khan, the man behind its design. The dome of Taj Mahal has earned several sobriquets of which onion dome or guava dome are few.
Another brilliant example of the Taj Mahal's Architectural Techniques and Styles is the lotus design that can be seen at the top of the dome. The lotus-design atop the dome complements its height to the perfection. Besides, on a closer look at the dome, you will get to notice that the architectural patterns that are followed in the making of the dome are similar to that of Hindu and Persian designs. Also, adding to the beauty of the Dome is a bronze spire which was made originally of solid gold but after the decline of the Mughal Empire in the 19th century it was looted. The spire also comprises the mix of Persian and Hindu architectural styles. You can easily make out this looking at the finial of the spire which contains a crescent-shaped moon. This crescent moon resembles the Hindu deity Lord Shiva�s symbol.
These apart, if you consider the Taj Mahal�s Architectural techniques and styles as a whole then you will see that at the base of the Taj Mahal there are four elegant minarets placed at four corners. Each minaret rises up to 40 meters in sky. These minarets are symbolic of Muslim architectural patterns. But as per the architectural technique is to be considered, these minarets have been designed as a shield to the entire structure. The minarets are tilted slightly towards the outer edge of the structure to save it from the damaging effects of the earthquake.
Tajmahal-tours.com offers interesting and detailed information on Taj Mahal's Architectural Techniques and Styles and Taj Mahal Tours, India.

Two Vincennes men are arrested on several charges after a traffic stop.
Indiana State Police says it happened Tuesday night, around 10:30, when troopers stopped Lee Haislip, 48, of Vincennes, at SR 441 and Niblack Road for committing a traffic violation.
ISP says during the stop troopers were able to determine Haislip was under the influence of drugs. They say a search of his vehicle revealed drug paraphernalia and small amounts of suspected meth and marijuana. Haislip was also wanted on an outstanding felony warrant out of Knox County for possession of meth.
ISP says further investigation revealed Haislip was under the influence of marijuana and meth.
During the traffic stop, Haislip's friend, Kenneth Sheren, 31, of Vincennes, was contacted and asked if he could come to the scene to pick up Haislip's vehicle. When Sheren arrived at the scene to pick up the vehicle troopers say he was also under the influence of meth and marijuana.
Sheren and Haislip were arrested and taken to the Knox County Jail where they are currently being held on bond.

Great Signing with Kael Alford Last Night
Thanks to all for coming out last night and celebrating Kael Alford's "Bottom of da Boot" (and the last event in the current Fall Line Press space)! Check out John E. Ramspott's pics over on flickr.
"What is being lost on the coast of Louisiana is more than a neighborhood, or a storm buffer. It's a piece of our collective memory and a unique piece of heritage that defines us as a nation."
Kael Alford is the recipient of the 2012 Michael P. Smith Fund for Documentary Photography (MPS Fund) Grant. The MPS Fund awards $5000 annually to a Gulf Coast photographer working on a long-term cultural documentary project.
Kael was awarded for her work "Bottom of da Boot: Losing the Coast of Louisiana." In this body of work Kael documents the Native American communities of Pointe-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana. Alford's portraits, tableaux and landscapes describe her maternal grandmother's birthplace. While the project began out of personal curiosity, Alford's work has developed into a multi-year documentary chronicling the rapid coastal land-loss that threatens the cultures and environment across southeast Louisiana.

Welcome to Sierra County! Birding Pt 7
Posted December 16, 2013
Animas Creek has the only stand of Arizona Sycamores east of the Continental Divide attracting southwestern riparian species such as Bridled Titmouse, Elf Owl, Brown Crested Flycatcher, Verdin, Cactus Wren and Acorn Woodpecker. Exit 63 off of I-25 east to frontage road and turn left onto Hwy 187 heading north. Look for paved road on left that heads west (marked by Animas Creek Nursery sign). This is all private land and birding should be done on and along the road which runs about 5 miles with the potential to see some SE Arizona birds.

Percha Dam State Park: 20 miles south of T or C on Hwy 187 or Exit 59 off I-25. This park acts as a migrant trap along the Rio Grande and is considered to be the best birding site for land birds along the entire river. The Park can be spectacular during migration "I've seen the trees dripping with warblers"...Jerry Oldenettel, avid birder and ABA member. In early May look for Warblers, Buntings, Tanagers, Sparrows and Vermilion Flycatcher. Mid April to mid May and late august through September are peak migration periods. Spring and fall bring species such as White-Throated Swift, Olive-Sided Flycatcher, Savannah Sparrow, Lark Bunting, Yellow-Headed Blackbird, Black and White Warbler, American Redstart and Nashville Warbler just to name a few. "The river is a lifeline for migrating and nesting birds, and the surrounding desert only concentrates the birds for us"...Art Arenholz, member ABA and Audubon Society. A must see!!

Proposition 32
Curation software
by Lingospot
Proposition 32 Ballot Language
Restricts union political fundraising by prohibiting use of payroll-deducted funds for political purposes. Same use restriction would apply to payroll deductions, if any, by corporations or government contractors. Permits voluntary employee contributions to employer or union committees if authorized yearly, in writing. Prohibits unions and corporations from contributing directly or indirectly to candidates and candidate-controlled committees. Other political expenditures remain unrestricted, including corporate expenditures from available resources not limited by payroll deduction prohibition. Limits government contractor contributions to elected officers or officer-controlled committees. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government:
Increased state implementation and enforcement costs of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, potentially offset in part by revenues from fines. (11-0010.)
Analysis from News10 Political Editor John Myers
This is ground zero of a political war on this November ballot, and here's why: the passage of Prop 32 would effectively gut the political money raised and spent by organized labor.
Prop 32 changes state campaign finance rules, and its biggest change is a ban on political cash from unions and corporations via deductions from employee paychecks.
But in reality, corporations rarely use paycheck deductions for their political spending; unions, though, have no other source of money.
Similar measures, but ones specifically targeting unions, were defeated by California voters in 1998 and 2005. As such, unions have spent huge money to kill Prop 32.
Supporters argue it's not just an anti-union measure, but the practical impact of its passage would be much bigger on that single side of the political battleground.

Renowned Slovenian alpinist Pavle Kozjek has been reported missing on the striking and seldom-climbed Muztagh Tower (7284m) in Pakistan's Karakoram range.
Kozjek had set up a bivy tent somewhere on the mountain near a cornice. Kozjek had emerged from the tent and approached the cornice when he fell down the face. The exact details of the incident are unclear, and there remains hope that in the morning, a rescue attempt will be made.
"There is no doubt he's a good climber," says Slovenian alpinist Marko Prezelj, "but as a person, he is even better."
Pavle Kozjek is one of the world's most accomplished alpine climbers and has written several pieces for Alpinist Magazine. You can find out more about him and his achievements on the Alpinist Website.

I enjoy helping people in poverty situations explore their goals and better their situation so that they can become independent.
Very rewarding and equally challenging, but not for the faint of heart.
There are few things more rewarding than knowing you have helped somebody achieve their goals and work towards living a better life.Social work is so multi-faceted that you can work in many areas of the field and find a niche for you. The position is very stressful and tends to be low paying, since Social Work is a non profit industry. You have to be passionate about what you do, since that will be what gets you through the day.

I worked in an NGO in China, specialized in homosexual rights. Most of my job involves translating foreign LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders) news into Chinese. It helps a lot of LGBT people in China. It is quite meaningful for me.

It's an especially wonderful time of the year for a young Baltimore couple. On Dec. 12 (or 12/12/12), Joshua Hager, 26, proposed to his girlfriend, Kate MacDonald, 27, in front of a Baltimore-themed house on 34th Street in Hampden, which is well-known for its colorful holiday display.
"We had planned on going to see the lights because we haven't been in a while," explains Kate. "And [Joshua's] mother convinced him to let his little brother go so he could take pictures. He specifically wanted to do it in front of the house with Natty Boh and the Utz Girl because everyone says we're 'so Baltimore.'"
Kate and Joshua met at a bar while attending Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Md., and began dating in October 2007. Kate graduated in December of that year and Joshua remained at Frostburg to complete his master's degree in business administration and work as an assistant football coach.
Last August, the couple purchased a house together in Baltimore, where they have plenty of Natty Boh memorabilia. The morning of the proposal, Joshua drove to Delaware to pick up the princess-cut solitaire diamond ring from the jeweler. He asked Kate's father for her hand in marriage that afternoon and proposed that evening.
"He grabbed my hand and his hand was shaking like a leaf. I said 'It's not that cold outside,'" she says. "And he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He cried and I cried and there were strangers taking pictures."
The couple hasn't set a date yet, but they are thinking about an April 2014 wedding in Baltimore, of course.
"I think it'd be cool to see the whole city from the rooftop of the [Maryland] Science Center," says Kate. "And I'm not positive, but we'd like to have Berger Cookies for favors."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rose44 from allergy to adhesive I have a long history of eczema. My hands were most affected. I was a staff nurse on a heart/lung surgery floor. Tegaderm was my salvation. I would put the tegaderm on and it would last even into the next day. I also used gloves with any patient contact. I washed my hands as per protocol, still the tegaderm was intact. I cut the tegaderm into 4 pieces and placed it over the open areas on my hands. That was the only way I could continue working. I give it a 10 starr !!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike from PERSISTENT WOUND HEALED Having had pervious experience with 'wet' cured bandages creating an environment that enhances quick healing and not being satisfied with the medium, this product, 'Tegaderm' not only worked but closed a wound in four days that had been an oozing problematic leg wound for over five weeks. I highly recommend this product and will continue to use 'Tegaderm' when needed and when necessary. Michael D.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Helen7 from This is an excellent product I wear a sensor along with my insulin pump and I cover the sensor and transmitter with tegaderm film. I've tried other clear films and they seem to want to peel off from the friction of clothing. 3M tegaderm film does not. Also, they are easy to open and apply.
