Thai Red Shirts to Monitor Democrat Party-Backed March against Democracy – robertamsterdam.com, November 21, 2012
…The protests against democracy in Bangkok are in part a response to the international recognition achieved by the current government that was never possible under the last coup-appointed administration of the former government. At a press conference Sunday 18th November President Obama stated he was "proud to stand beside the democratically elected leader of Thailand," Prime Minister Yingluck, and that he was "very admiring" of the efforts of the Thai people to "restore and strengthen" democracy. Just one week earlier, Prime Minister Yingluck was granted audience with Queen Elizabeth II and met with UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
To conduct this process of evidence gathering this weekend, the UDD shall be employing legal monitors on the ground during anti-democracy protests and coordinating with the relevant authorities in Thailand to ensure, that should a coup or serious violence occur, those responsible are held to account by the international community. The purpose of the process is to catalogue, name and publish all the details of those involved with financially supporting the coup plotters. Once those funding the movement are revealed to the public, the UDD plans to call upon its +14 million members to boycott these businesses in Thailand…

"It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do."
We are all responsible for what happened in Orlando.
I am responsible for what happened in Orlando. The morning of the Orlando massacre I was talking on the phone with a friend, a university professor, who casually said she had just turned off the television because she saw two men kissing.
I said, "Well, some men do kiss," to which she responded, "Not that kind of kiss!"
I thought of that when I read the news later that day about the tragedy in Orlando and the fact that, according to the father of the mass-murderer, Omar Mateen, his son was enraged at seeing two men kissing.
While the motive for the mayhem perpetrated by Mateen is turning out to be more complex than that, we know enough about the violence against LGBT people worldwide to know that the revulsion toward any affectionate or romantic expression by gays is deep seated and dangerous. The recent news that a judge in Kenya has upheld mandatory anal examinations of men suspected of being gay is only the most recent example of the persistent savagery perpetrated against gay men.
I am responsible for what happened in Orlando because I should have confronted my friend's homophobia directly and told her that I found it offensive. Every anti-gay joke we listen to silently, every homophobic slur we fail to counter, every hostile act against LGBT people we witness without standing up and speaking out makes us complicit in what happened in Orlando.
We are all responsible for what happened in Orlando.
I am responsible for what happened in Orlando because when I heard Donald Trump speak of Mexicans as killers and rapists, I didn't do anything except agree with my friends that it was an egregious slur.
When I heard him speak of Muslims as potential terrorists who should be banned from entering the United States, I didn't call my Muslim friends to console them and I didn't meet with my Muslim colleagues at Graduate Theological Union to ask how I could help.
We are all responsible for what happened in Orlando.
I am responsible because even though I find our current gun laws bordering on insanity, I haven't written to my congressional representatives expressing outrage that not only are they unwilling to enact a ban on assault weapons, they aren't even willing to ban their sale to people on the Terror Watch List.
Neither have I supported the efforts of gun-control groups working to counter gun violence. I didn't do anything about Columbine, about Sandy Hook, about Ft. Hood, about San Bernardino–but I am determined to do something about Orlando, because I feel responsible for what happened in that bar where so many gays and Latinos were slaughtered by a man who was able to legally buy an assault weapon.
We are all responsible for what happened in Orlando—and we all will be responsible for what happens the next time someone is able to buy a rifle whose designed purpose is to kill lots of people quickly and indiscriminately.
While we are all responsible for what happened in Orlando, some of us are more responsible than others:
Those of us who persist in fictions and fables about homosexuality
State and local lawmakers who have passed 200 anti-LGBT laws in the past year
Those of us who camouflage our bigotry in the rhetoric of religious liberty
Those of us who support party over principle
Corporations that discriminate against gays, Latinos, blacks, Muslims or any other category of human beings
Especially, the National Rifle Association which uses fear, intimidation and coercion to ensure that there are no limitations on the sale and possession of weapons, resulting, according to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times, in more American preschoolers being shot dead than police officers are shot in the line of duty. Also, on average, more Americans are killed annually by guns in our homes and schools and on our streets than were killed by guns annually during the Civil War.
But enough of us dream of an America free of homophobia, racial hatred, Islamophobia, misogyny, and the gun lobby that we have the power to bring change.
As Delmore Schwartz reminds us, "In dreams begin responsibilities." We are all responsible—and will continue to be as long as we fail to act.]]>
The office of the First Presidency June 28th, 2016 (about time)
Dear Sisters and Brothers of the Ordain Women organization,
We are moved by your continued demonstration of faith and thoughtful search for understanding. Your recent call for a fast shows a willingness to apply principles and proven practices in your search for understanding and social change.
Although your initial appearance was met defensively and caused no small amount of civil disagreement among us, the Lord in his patience has enlightened our understanding and swelled our hearts with compassion for you. We love you and value your participation with us in his Church.
The issues you raise have already begun to affect needed change in the Church. Discussion among members is increasing understanding of the nature and appropriate application of the Priesthood. We do not anticipate radical change to the patterns established by the restoration. We are mindful of human nature's resistance to change and we wish to be sensitive to members who may be upset by radical shifts in policy, therefore changes will likely be gradual as directed by revelation.
We recognize that there are aspects of Church practice based solely on cultural traditions without doctrinal basis. Some of these practices have grown from outdated gender roles and some have already changed. We maintain that gender is an essential element of God's plan and that the differences between genders are necessary to achieve his purposes, however, we believe that our efforts to establish greater equity will enhance his purposes. We also recognize potential problems caused by a so-called "Generation Gap" and that, while we generally understand conditions in the modern world, it is largely through the lens of experience lived in a different time. For this reason, we have assembled advisory committees comprised of diverse members from a variety of cultures, age groups and outlooks. We would like to invite a few of you to participate on such a committee which will meet with the council of the first presidency and quorum of twelve apostles yearly and as needed.
We commend you for your faith and thank you for your earnest engagement.
The Council of the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve Apostles.]]>
Too many conservatives today practice cafeteria morality. They boldly stand in defense of moral issues when they feel like it, and send "thoughts and prayers" when they don't.
Believing in God is commendable, but most people want to do more than listen to inspirational sermons or dream of their mansions above. They want to put their faith into practice. They want to roll up their sleeves and become engaged in this great cause.
-President Uchtdorf (Come, Join with Us)
Picture with me the conservative who sent "Thoughts and Prayers" after Sandy Hook, and VA Tech, the Orlando nightclub, and every other mass shooting. Now picture that same conservative sending "Thoughts and Prayers" in any of the following situations:
For some reason, it seems that conservatives tend to send "Thoughts and Prayers" for issues of morality that can be helped with liberal approaches, but actually get to work whenever they think an issue can be alleviated by conservative policy.
"Thoughts and Prayers" just are not enough when it comes to morality.
Jesus's teachings were not meant to be theoretical. Always they were to be acted upon.
-Elder Dallin H. Oaks (Followers of Christ)
We are called upon to get our hands dirty. To do, rather than to just think. To act, not just pray. To ask for help from God, but then to actually work.
You and I may speak most eloquently of spiritual things. We may impress people with our keen intellectual interpretation of religious topics. We may rhapsodize about religion and "dream of [our] mansion above." But if our faith does not change the way we live–if our beliefs do not influence our daily decisions–our religion is vain, and our faith, if not dead, is certainly not well and is in danger of eventually flatlining.
-President Uchtdorf (He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home)
In today's world, popular opinion might suggest that the only moral issues are marriage and abortion. This incredibly limited and limiting definition of morality relies on a worldly misconception. Morality should not, cannot, and will never be defined by popular opinion. If we allow society to define what is and what isn't a moral issue, we will stand neutral on too many issues of eternal import.
Satan need not get everyone to be like Cain or Judas . . . . He needs only to get able men … to see themselves as sophisticated neutrals.
-Elder Neal A. Maxwell
The problem here is a very narrow definition of morality. Too often, conservative society encourages us to visit the right side of the cafeteria of morality and just pick anti-abortion and anti-marriage equality arguments, choosing to leave behind all the morality on the left side of the cafeteria that deals with starving children, systemic racial oppression, unjust economic systems, pollution, unequal access to education, systemic poverty, amoral business behavior, sexual violence, faulty criminal justice, bigotry, sexism, war, and grinding the faces of the poor.
[W]hen morality is involved, we have both the right and the obligation to raise a warning voice.
-President Boyd K. Packer
We can say we're motivated by our morals, but we are too often missing the point. We can say we're against immoral behavior, but if we're only informed by a very conservative interpretation of two moral issues, is it really morality we're defending?]]>
Throughout my entire life, I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — the Mormons. I grew up in the small town of Evanston, Wyoming in a family that was active in the Church. In school, I excelled at math and was fascinated by the structured, logical world of computer programming. My relationships with other classmates were always socially awkward. I really struggled to understand and connect with other people — generally preferring the predictability of computers.
When I turned nineteen, I served as a missionary for the Church for two years. This was a turning point for me in terms of my development of empathy for other people. Because of my calling as a missionary, the social boundaries between me and others changed in a way that helped me connect with and appreciate a wider diversity of people than I had previously. At the same time, I reveled in the missionary rules, which were highly structured, similarly to the computer programming I gravitated towards in high school.
At this time of my life, I had a sin-based religious world-view. I saw sin and righteousness as moral primitives, standing in opposition to each other, with the commandments helping us to define them. I felt great shame associated with any of my past behaviors which I considered sinful. I tried to hide those things within me and just to focus on the things I knew I should be doing. I was so successful at this that on my mission that the president occasionally referred to me as "The Machine."
During the subsequent years of my adult life, I became increasingly aware of a mental discontinuity in my perception of the gospel. On the one hand, I experienced much joy in the practical way that I lived my faith, such as with the sacrifices I made as a young father for my growing family. But despite the practical satisfaction that came from living the gospel, my mental conceptualization of the gospel was tangibly dry and lacking in humanity and emotion.
Gradually I began to develop a new mental model of the gospel. At the time, I was struck by the theme of happiness as interspersed through The Book of Mormon. From "men are, that they might have joy" (2 Nephi 2:25) to "wickedness never was happiness" (Alma 41:10). I had always assumed that happiness was simply the byproduct of righteous living. But now I wondered if it wasn't the other way around.
Perhaps sin and righteousness were notions which were themselves defined in terms of happiness. In that case righteousness, by its very construction, would be behavior which increased our individual and communal happiness. Similarly sin, by its very definition, would be behavior which decreased personal and collective happiness. This idea grew on me, and I even gave a sacrament meeting talk about it in 2012.
This happiness-based religious worldview was revolutionary for me. It took what I had perceived as the dry philosophy of religion and infused it with emotion and human meaning. For my structured mind, a religious focus on sin devolved into a focus on rules and boundaries. On the other hand, a focus on happiness led me outside of myself towards human connectedness and emotion. It uncovered the spirit of the law, instead of leaving me caught up in the letter of the law.
With time, this simple reframing of the gospel in terms of happiness instead of sin helped me to become more Christ-like in the way that I viewed and reacted to other people. I always knew abstractly that Christ taught love to be the greatest commandment, but I had previously filtered that love through a strict set of rules. That changed for me as I came to view all of the commandments in terms of happiness, which didn't negate their value and significance, but rather allowed me to make them more human and more humane.
Previously when other people made choices which violated the principles that I believed in, I would emotionally disconnect from them. Viewing sin in terms of happiness has helped me to do the opposite: to be empathetic and compassionate when someone makes a decision which I feel is contrary to their own happiness. Rather than emotionally rejecting them and casting them out of my heart, it is easier for me to embrace them with greater love and kindness.
My path of spiritual growth and discovery is still very much a work in progress. There continue to be ways in which my personality and my instincts distance me emotionally from other human beings. Nonetheless, the implications I found in The Book of Mormon's teachings on happiness have been profound in my personal life. They have changed the way that I think about other principles in the gospel and have softened my perception of and approach towards others. They have helped me progress in my efforts to be a more Christ-like person.]]>
Here are my reasons…please don't consider this list exhaustive or as a detailed apologetic of any sort; it's not meant to be.
Here are my issues with Mormonism….
Yes, you could say I lost my mind six years ago when I joined the Church, but I have good reasons. Just consider this my testimony, even if I don't yet have a testimony of Visiting Teaching.]]>
I read a lot to my kids. But it can be really hard to share the scriptures with them. The LDS church released picture books of the scriptures are ok, but the style of the pictures is very uniform and the action uninteresting, they leave out lots of parts of the scriptures that I love, and they spin stories (very slightly, and mostly by omission) to emphasize understandings of the scriptures that I don't always agree with. Plus, my kids just get bored with them. We had a lot of fun reading the Brick Bible, but unfortunately it also skips most of the Bible and sometimes emphasizes things in ways that don't represent my understanding of the same passages. We will read it again, but reading it got me thinking about what I would like. I would like a retelling of the Book of Mormon that is understandable to a preschooler, in chunks that match his or her attention span, and tells the whole story of the Book of Mormon–not just the action filled parts.
So this is my scripture study, for a while. I'm retelling, very slowly, the entire Book of Mormon. At each stage I ask myself, how can I say this idea, and what's an image I can pair with it that will be interesting? I'm no expert on writing for this age group, and I'm even weaker when it comes to illustration. I have an invitation for all of you readers:
Enjoy my process by reading the Title Page here, then continue over at my blog Book of Mormon Bedtime Stories. If you like it, feel free to share it. Once you have a feel for what I'm doing with the stories, I would love collaborators. If you want to try writing some, I'd love to see your drafts and discuss contributions. If you want to contribute artwork, I welcome it with open arms. I'll take images for things I've written, or simply stories you want to illustrate. I'll take single frames or entire series. I'll take fine art or cartoon drawings. Contact me (through the BoMBS blog) and we can discuss it. I have a vision for the work, but I am flexible and have experience collaborating on difficult projects. Now let's get started.
I'm Moroni. I helped my dad, Mormon, pick the most important parts out of all these records of a people called the Nephites.
I lived 1600 years ago. That's when your grandparents' grandparents' grandparents, back about 30 times, lived.
We wrote this book for you and for the children of the Lamanites. The Nephites' children and grandchildren and other descendents are all going to be dead or lost when you get this book.
God is going to make sure you get it, even though this book will have been hidden for a long time. There are three things I want you to learn from this book:
First, God made us promises, and he kept them.
Second, even people who ignore God or run away from him will be welcomed back when they choose to seek God again.
Third, Jesus, our savior, shows himself to people all over the world.
I probably made mistakes in some of these stories, but I did my best. Don't throw out the good stuff because I made mistakes.

I know you're already thinking of plenty of objections right now. You have lots of friends. Your kids have lots of friends. You live in a super-friendly (Mormon) neighborhood. When you moved your new neighbors (also Mormons) really made you feel at home.
I get that. But it also illustrates the problem. We're really good at making friends with each other, with our fellow active Mormons. But we have a lot of help in that regard. There are ward activities, programs for the youth and children, home and visiting teaching, callings, potlucks, organized "compassionate service," holiday parties, shared family home evenings, and Elders Quorum movers. On top of all of that, we spend three hours together each Sunday discussing our shared beliefs and values, including – sometimes – our deepest spiritual yearnings and experiences. In both behavior and belief, the Church provides TONS of opportunities to make friends within.
Unfortunately, one perverse consequence of all this may be that our personal friendship skills may atrophy. Without this structure and clear signals that we share beliefs, we struggle to cultivate friendships. I've noticed this especially since my wife left the Church and we moved to a new ward. Though plenty of people have expressed an interest in "getting to know her," few have made any visible effort to do so. A visit from the RS presidency was much too formal and church-oriented. Other invites have come laden with incorrect assumptions about her availability and interests – based, as they are, on almost non-existent information. And, of course, they are all to church activities. They seem to be trying to reconvert her rather than get to know her.
When we moved in and met the family next door, a nice non-Mormon family, they told us the neighborhood was very quiet. Not unfriendly, but not friendly either. I suspect the ward members (which ARE the neighborhood) don't think of themselves this way at all. They're always busy doing things (mostly at the Church). But since most of their social lives are structured by the church, inviting non-Mormons is always a missionary effort.
In my experience, 'missionary work' has become our primary lens for viewing all our social interactions with those outside the Church. Which is a pity, because that becomes one more barrier to friendship. If the only ways we socialize are church-centered – including official Church activities, informal activities where everyone else will be members, or events where the Church will be the primary focus on conversation – we're robbing ourselves of opportunities for broader friendships.
This is, of course, not only a problem for Mormons. Plenty of individuals (myself included) struggle with social skills. Plenty of communities struggle to reach out beyond their boundaries in meaningful ways.
Insularity is common. But insularity is also a sin.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Matt. 22:37-39)
Love is active. If we've not actively loving our neighbors , we are failing to keep the second great commandment. Like all commandments, this one will take some practice to get good at, to make it meaningful. But how wonderful would it be to both individually and collectively be great at the second great commandment?

An interview is an opportunity for the new convert to share testimony. You might prepare them by asking about their conversion before beginning the interview. Then, during the questions, listen for the Spirit that will accompany the bearing of testimony.
His advice was excellent and transformed a bureaucratic experience into one of my favorite mission responsibilities.
The same perspective applied well to other interviews. I vividly remember my first temple recommend renewal interview – conducted with that same mission president – when I felt how a simple 'yes' can come loaded with testimony, when it is given in response to a question like "Do you have a testimony of the Atonement of Christ and of His role as Savior and Redeemer?" When I laters served in a bishopric, I was similarly delighted to hear the power behind the 'yes' when interviewing ward members.
Though interviews have become, for me, a wonderful opportunity to declare testimony and commitment and to hear the same from others, that's far from the universal experience. Often, for reasons completely unrelated to sinfulness, these can be harrowing experiences for members of the Church. Mostly, I suspect, this has to do with uncertain power dynamics and Church leaders who are too willing to interject their own additional requirements into the process.
As far as I know, the temple recommend questions have not come to us by way of revelation. Instead (as with many of the regulations of Judaism), they are a mortal attempt to protect something we hold to be sacred. So I think it is perfectly reasonable to reconsider how they might best reflect our understanding of the sacred and of the Savior's universal invitation to come unto Him.
In this spirit and with my mission president's advice echoing in my mind, here are my suggestions for the questions as I wish they were asked. I would love this to be the beginning of a wider conversation.
What are your thoughts? What would you discard, add, keep, or change to the interview questions?]]>

Natalie Portman: I'm Too Old to Smoke Weed
Pregnant Natalie Portman is keen to distance herself from reports she likes smoking marijuana, insisting she loves stoner comedies, but no longer gets high. The Oscar winner stars in new pot comedy "Your Highness" opposite James Franco and Danny McBride, but she doesn't want fans to think she's a stoner.
She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years. I'm too old. I wish I was that cool, but I'm like an old lady now. I'm in bed by 10 P.M. I can't do that anymore."
Portman plays a female warrior in the comedy, which is released in the U.S. this weekend on April 8. Talking about her role, she said, "When I sat down with [director] David [Gordon Green], he was like, 'The girl's going to be funny here.' To have him be able to think of me in that way was so lucky, because [the role] is a real departure from anything I've done on film."

Review: Linux Mint 18 (Sarah)
If you were looking to jump the Ubuntu ship completely, then we recommend taking a look at our recent Review of Fedora 24. It's equally as good as Mint 18 and equally worthy of your consideration. Between Linux Mint 18 and Fedora 24, we reckon it's exciting times in the Linux world. With the exception and onset of the boring world of vanilla Ubuntu releases, Linux feels reinvigorated and fresh once again. Jump on board, because it can only get better from here.

At his Spring/Summer 2008 couture show in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld and his models marched around a giant Chanel-branded fashion statue.
Taking center stage at the show was a gigantic cardigan, one of the key fashion pieces iconic of the Chanel design house, complete with intertwined C logo. Standing 75 feet, the white jacket rotated slowly around the Grand Palais. Lagerfeld chose the cardigan to celebrate his new take on the classic piece.
For the show's finale, Lagerfeld took the hand of model Devon Aoki as he made his rounds waving to adoring fans which included supermodel Claudia Schiffer and film-maker Sofia Coppola.

Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Oregonians are invited to submit an essay or article for Oregon Humanities magazine's spring 2013 issue on the theme "Me."
Who is me? Me is the cover of every magazine you see on any newsstand. Me is the hero of every book you read, of every movie you watch. Me is the only one on the interstate/in the restaurant/on the bus/in the grocery store who matters. Me is the public. Me is the commons. Me is an island. Me is a universe. Me is both the center and the end. My tragedy is yours (as is my grief, my anxiety, my concern), but my joy is mostly my own (maybe my pain is, too). Why is it this way?
Contributors are encouraged to visit oregonhumanities.org to review the guidelines and call for submissions, and to familiarize themselves with the publication. No phone calls, please.
Submit a proposal or draft by Nov. 18 by email to email@example.com or mail to Kathleen Holt, Editor, Oregon Humanities magazine, 813 S.W. Alder St., Suite 702, Portland, OR, 97205.
Oregon Humanities magazine, a triannual publication, welcomes all forms of nonfiction writing, including scholarly essays, journalistic articles, and personal essays. It accepts proposals and drafts of scholarly and journalistic features, which generally range between 1,500 and 4,000 words in length. It accepts drafts only of personal essays that consider larger thematic questions in well-developed, nuanced ways; essay submissions should run no longer than 2,000 words. All contributors receive an honorarium. Currently the magazine is distributed to more than 12,000 readers. Work from Oregon Humanities has been reprinted in textbooks, the Pushcart Prize anthology, Utne Reader, and Best American Essays, and featured on public radio programs Think Out Loud and This American Life.
Oregon Humanities connects Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities. More information about its programs and publications — which include the Conversation Project, Think & Drink, Humanity in Perspective, Idea Lab Summer Institute, Public Program Grants, and Oregon Humanities magazine — can be found at oregonhumanities.org. Oregon Humanities is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust.

Annual Wisconsin H.O.G. Rally held in the Northwoods
Submitted: 08/16/2013
Story By Lauren Stephenson
- If you drove on Highway 70 west of Minocqua Friday, you probably saw a bunch of motorcycles.
More than 1,200 to be exact.
The annual Wisconsin State Harley Owners' Group Rally in the Northwoods.
This year Minocqua won the honor of hosting it.
"The state rally is a Harley-Davidson-sponsored, motorcycle enthusiast event. Every year the chapters and the state dealerships get to select a site of a state rally. And in April of 2012, Minocqua, Wisconsin was selected as the rally site for this year's state H.O.G. rally," Wisconsin State Rally Coordinator Randy Bates.
The three-day event brings in people from 15 states, and even Great Britain.
State rallies are most often hosted in urban areas.
But this year, they opted for a different type of scenery.
"This is the first time it's been held in Northern Wisconsin....We felt that this year's rally would be more of a riding rally. We've got routes going all the way from Merrill, Wisconsin, all the way up to Hurley, from Eagle River all the way out to Mellen," adds Bates.
For those who don't want to ride, they have bingo, slow ride activities, and live bands at the Minocqua Park Complex.
All the events lead up to the group ride through downtown Minocqua on Saturday around 5 o'clock.

Eagle River family searches for missing dog, Poco
Submitted: 06/30/2016
- Many of us consider their dog as another member of the family.
That's certainly true for a husband and wife in Eagle River, who are desperately searching for their dog--that they say was was taken from them in their own backyard on Tuesday.
That dog is a three-year-old Boston terrier named Poco, and his owners are Scott and Laurie Schellinger.
According to the police report, a woman took the dog in a red Chevy Impala. The Schellingers say that woman is their niece. The Schellingers bought Poco from a man all three of them know about six weeks ago.
The Schellingers say when they got Poco, he was in bad shape.
"The dog didn't make a peep the first two weeks we had him," Scott Schellinger said. "And he cowered, and he just started coming out of his shell."
The Schellingers say their niece came over for a visit on Tuesday and that's when it happened.
"I was talking to my wife's niece on the back porch and all the sudden she goes running down the porch, her son grabbed the dog, the car was right there, opened up the driver car door, took the dog and [ran]," Scott Schellinger said. "Haven't seen him since."
The Schellingers say their home hasn't been the same, and their other two rescue dogs seem to miss him.
"I just can't believe this happened," said Laurie Schellinger. "Of all people, family."
Police have been searching for Poco, and the Schellingers hope he comes home soon.
"I just want him home where he belongs," Laurie Schellinger said.

Rain or shine this Thanksgiving, you can bet the Easton and Phillipsburg high school football teams will be battling it out for their annual gridiron bragging rights.
But one "Red Rover" is already getting props for a much different kind of game.
Forget Angry Birds, how about angry bulldogs shooting from a canon?
It's a video game called Ragin' Rovers.
It was designed by senior Benjamin Matase and the Easton High School Computer Science Club for their school's annual battle against the Phillipsburg Stateliners this week.
"It's like a two-player Angry Birds. You have three screens and you have cannons on either side and shooting dogs at the middle at the Stateliner cats that are being protected by little wooden planks," said Matase.
The game is a big hit with Easton's students, who line up at lunch time to take turns taking aim at P'burg.
"It's pretty fun. Kind of addicting I guess," said senior Dylan Groff.
Matase says the game could be expanded for Xbox or wind up as an app.
As for him, Matase says he's headed for college and a career in computers.
For right now, he says he's just hoping the game will get more kids to join the computer science club.
"We recruited a couple of people that saw it and they want to do something similar," said Matase.
So, what if you don't have access to the video game? No worries. You can always watch the real life rivalry between Easton and Phillipsburg live on WFMZ TV Thursday at 10 a.m.
Students create Easton v. Phillipsburg football video game

Wegher was named in a custody suit. Wegher and Megan Glisar had a son back in November of 2010.
Wegher had transferred from Iowa to Oklahoma but that courtship didn't last long as Wegher has already left OU. Rumors on Hawkeye Report have Wegher showing up around Morningside. Maybe he can get on the field and more importantly, get a degree.
Another rumor floating around this week is the departure of senior cornerback William Lowe. Lowe wasn't around when the media was present for Spring practice but Marc Morehouse says he may have been in class. Lowe was one of the Rhabdo 13. Message board members on Hawkeye report have him leaving the team. There has been nothing official from the U of Iowa.

Schizophrenia Health Center
Schizophrenia and the Caregiver - Topic Overview
As a family member or close friend, you may help take care of your loved one who has schizophrenia. You can help your loved one stay in treatment, take his or her medicines, and prevent symptoms from coming back (relapse).
Along the way, be sure to take care of yourself too. It can be hard to watch a family member-who in the past was happily planning for the future-develop symptoms of confusion and paranoia. Family members may need to seek support or treatment to help them cope with the demands of the illness and the loss they may feel.

Pros and Cons of Long-Lasting Schizophrenia Drugs
If you or someone you love has schizophrenia, you know that keeping up with medicine makes all the difference. It curbs symptoms like seeing and hearing things that aren't there. Along with psychiatric therapy, a pill you take every day can put you on the path to a stable, successful life. But there's a catch: A lot of folks quit their meds. Sometimes they just forget to take them. Or they may think they're now well enough that they don't need them anymore. That's where long-lasting drugs can help...
Read the Pros and Cons of Long-Lasting Schizophrenia Drugs article > >
Tips for family members and friends
- Accept that schizophrenia is a long-term problem. People who do this usually adjust better to helping their loved ones. Keep in touch with your loved one's doctor, therapist, or counselor about how things are going.
- Keep your emotions in check. Too much emotion can make recovery harder, because it can be very stressful to your loved one. Try not to be critical, over-involved, or mean. Don't blame your loved one for his or her behavior.
- Be calm and soothing when your loved one has severe symptoms. Call the person quietly by name, or ask the person to tell you what he or she is experiencing. Don't argue or tell him or her that the voices aren't real. Call for help if you think the situation could become dangerous.
- Work cooperatively with your family member's health care team and teachers and with other members of your community when needed.
- Make a plan with all family members about how to take care of your loved one during times of relapse.

Editor's note: I have remarked before how proud I am to be on the Invincea advisory board. News like the release below shows how virtuous this firm is being in the enterprise IT domain. Their solutions are now enhancing enterprise defenses in every major sector of the economy and at firms of all sizes. – bg
Invincea Announces 54 New Enterprise Customers For its Flagship Enterprise Solution, $8.1M in Advanced Research Contracts For its Labs Division
Major Market Demand for Advanced Threat Protection Driving Rapid Platform Adoption and Expansion of Technology Ecosystem; Company Announces Integration With Palo Alto Networks' Wildfire Platform
FAIRFAX, VA—April 7, 2014—Invincea, Inc., the market leader in the use of secure virtual containers for user protection against advanced cybersecurity threats, today announced accelerated momentum and major milestones, including:
- The company added 54 new enterprise customers over the past two quarters across major industry verticals including retail, hospitality, casinos and gaming, energy, financial services, healthcare, transportation, defense industrial, high tech, oil and gas, and federal and state government. This builds on the growth that the company posted in the quarter previous to this period, and in a time when the company launched its first small business offering.
- In the first quarter of 2014, the company's advanced research division—Invincea Labs—secured $8.1M in new contracts for advanced cybersecurity projects for defense and federal government agencies in the areas of cloud-based advanced malware analysis, spear-phishing attacks against Android, and big data analytics for compromise detection. Invincea's momentum in this area continues from its previous announcement of a $21.4M contract with the U.S. Army.
- Invincea also continued to enhance the ability for its customers to achieve more comprehensive and holistic security by expanding its advanced threat protection ecosystem with integration into Palo Alto Networks' WildFire platform. The partnership represents a strong collaboration in existing joint accounts to feed Palo Alto Networks' WildFire platform with forensics gathered from Invincea FreeSpace™ virtual infections. At the RSA Conference in February 2014, the company announced threat intelligence partnerships with ThreatGRID and Reversing Labs.
"A security strategy that only reacts to attacks isn't acceptable," said Paul Calatayud, Chief Information Security Officer of Surescripts. "To be comprehensive and present the strongest defense requires a proactive posture in addressing risks to our network. Surescripts, the nation's most comprehensive clinical network, chose Invincea because it allows us to address one of the most significant aspects of the threat landscape—end user vulnerability. Invincea provides proactive protection against advanced persistent attacks, and mitigates the downside of post-breach detect and notify models. Now my security staff can focus on strategic defense, instead of the 'search and destroy' treadmill."
With the first-of-its-kind deal with Dell in 2013, in which Invincea became the only advanced threat protection solution to ship straight from the factory on all Dell commercial devices, shipping on over 60 million devices over three years. Through its organic direct sales efforts, Dell's distribution, and the acquisition of Sandboxie announced in late 2013, Invincea's software is now deployed in nearly 15,000 organizations worldwide.
"The surge in new customers for Invincea's flagship FreeSpace™ product and Invincea Management Service shows the ability of Invincea to meet the strong and sharply rising demand for advanced threat protection across all industry sectors," said Anup Ghosh, Founder and CEO at Invincea. "Key business drivers for Invincea now are the end of support for Windows XP, the continued challenge that enterprises face in supporting legacy Java, spear-phishing and other targeted attacks against enterprises, and the surge in high visibility compromises in the retail sector. In the consumer segment, our Sandboxie product is on a pace to be downloaded by more than 2 million users this year. Invincea Labs' $8M in new federal funding will be used to develop and bring to market the next generation of cybersecurity technology in cloud-based advanced malware analysis, protecting users from attacks against their Android devices, and big data analysis for threat identification on compromised devices across the spectrum. All of this cements our position as a market leader in a rapidly growing category for advanced threat protection technology."
Invincea is recognized as providing one of most advanced malware prevention solutions in the market— having recently been awarded the 2013 Northern Virginia Technology Council Innovators Award and having previously been named the "Most Innovative Company of the Year" at the RSA Conference 2011 and "Best Anti-Malware Solution" for 2012 and 2013 by Government Security News. Invincea's solutions include an endpoint security software suite and threat intelligence service. Together, these solutions offer a unique ability to protect enterprise networks without requiring prior knowledge of attacks, commonly called attack signatures, against all types of threats directed at end-users, including zero-days, by seamlessly moving applications that run untrusted content into controlled, secure virtual containers that automatically detect and terminate threats in real time.
