Salt Lakers have better chance of moving up economic ladder than others, study says
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — The ability to move up in life may depend on where you live.
A study released Monday by researchers at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley, indicates that low-income people in specific geographic regions in the United States have a better chance at moving up the economic ladder than others.
Salt Lake City is among areas where those born into families who make $30,000 per year or less — the bottom fifth of income earners — have an 11.5 percent chance of making it into the top fifth — those who make $100,000 or more per year.
Vernal scored a percentage of 27.3 percent, the best area in the state.
Boston and New York were similar to Salt Lake City at almost 10 percent and fared better than areas in the South. There, chances for upward mobility are lower, with a 2.9 percent chance for those in the Memphis area, which includes portions of Mississpppi and Tennessee, and 4.0 percent for those in Atlanta.
The Great Plains area performed the best, with chances for upward mobility at 34.8 percent in Gettysburg, S.D., and 33.1 percent for children who grow up in the area of Williston, N.D.
"This is really a significant piece of research," said Pam Perlich, senior research economist in the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah.
The impact of tax policy on economic movement is controversial and would take time to full comprehend because there are "a lot of different layers and a lot of complexity."
However, there were some areas that researchers found were present in many of the mobile communities. Researchers found that five factors seemed to be associated with upward economic mobility:
Little income disparity in an area
Lower amounts of economic and racial division
Quality K-12 education, which includes good test scores and low rates of high school dropouts
Social and community involvement, including religious participation
The presence of strong families, for instance, more two-parent families
According to Perlich, these correlated areas make sense for mobility.
"The bigger your network of relationships, the better the opportunities for your life," she said.
Access to education, other ideas and the chance to have relationships with those who have different experiences are vital to moving up economically.
"Something bigger than your little tiny pod of your household," Perlich said.
As far as the correlated areas in the study, Utah is doing well with half of them, she said.
Utah's culture promotes two-parent homes, Perlich said. Utah had the highest percentage of two-parent households in the United States, with at least 61 percent, according to Census Bureau data between 2000 and 2010.
Utah culture also encourages civic and religious involvement and has a financial "safety net" of multi-generational families.
On the downside, from what Perlich has seen, educational funding is not on par with other areas in the nation. Utah also has a highly segregated economic environment.
"We could do better," she said.
The study's authors set out to test how certain tax policies, such at the Earned Income Tax Credit, mortgage interest breaks and local tax rates, impact the financial mobility of someone living in that area.

2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating

If he takes specific questions, I would like to hear what his take is on the LB situation heading into next year. How would he compare the competing group of '10 to this past year's starters. Also, I would like his take on how he thinks the OL might shake out.
He said at the beginning of last year how he would like to get Tiller in at the beginning of the 3rd quarter to get some reps and run some plays. I know that the scores really didn't help Tiller's shot at getting into games at those times.
I want to know if he still has that intentions this year.
Redshirts from last year that we need to keep an eye on this year.
I'll be there as a guest of my brother. I'm looking forward to it.

I am hopeful that stateofmind will be willing to summarize the goings on.
Thanks to all.

He gave us the timeline of what the team and coaching staff go through in a year.
He said that in December it is recruiting nonstop, of course that is around bowl practices. He talked about how there can only be 7 coaches out on the road recruiting at one-time.
He said that when recruits come in the first planned stop is the Learning Center. They are very proud of that place and it shows. As most of you know, ISU topped the Big XII in graduation rates and I think football was either the tops or just had improved at least .3 GPA.
January is all-out recruiting. Sunday through Friday on the road, two days back here and hosting visitors. When they are checking the kids out they have a huge board of names. CPR will draw a line under the positions. If the players are above that line, ISU is committed to accepting if they accept. If they are below, they are the fallback, etc. If they have a tough time deciding on a guy they go to the intangibles. Family, character, grades, etc.
He said they have started recruiting for 2011, and if a guy isn't "above-the-line" they will ask them to come to camp. One of the camps I was intrigued about is what they call big man camp. Turning over tractor tires and pushing tractors, kind of like the strongman I guess.
He stated again that it's not about that guy that didn't sign, it's the guy that signs and doesn't perform. There is an emphasis put on responsibility to the University and the community around Iowa.
He said there are two kinds of trust. Blind and Earned. He said for example, the kid has to blindly trust the training staff that there way is the right way and after time they will evaluate if that blind trust is earned going forward. He made a point that this is a two-way commitment.
He said he gave his guys a two day vacation after going nonstop for fourteen months! These guys are maniacs when it comes to working. I used to think that would be a great life, not so much anymore.
He said that they will be practicing for the spring soon and that he will always keep the spring game the Saturday of VESHIEA week. April 17th if you haven't seen. Unfortunately I have a wedding to go to... He won't reschedule for me. (Don't worry, I didn't ask him)
I thought it was hilarious that he had to get back to Ames to run some sort of "testing", I can't remember what he called it. Either way, it was going to test them mentally and physically. He made a point to reference that the trash cans would be all over the place, you can understand why I'm sure.
He told about all of the different restrictions that are put on them around practice, recruiting, etc. (Rich Rod could take a class from Paul)
There were about 4 or 5 questions asked where Paul went deep into each response. I can't remember what many of them were about since it was yesterday, but I'll paraphrase. (I'll edit later if I remember what they were)
What is it like having your father around? He said that his Dad comes around at least once a week with pen and paper and Paul notices him taking notes. I thought it was funny to hear him conscious of his Dad's critiques.
We all feel it was a successful season and what, based on learning curves, can he do better? (I asked this one?) He didn't give too many details, he basically said that the motto of this team is to Continuously improve in every aspect. This is what the main motivation was from the beginning and is being preached even more now. There is no way that they can be satisfied with any current success as you will never succeed without continuous improvement.
Another question about recruiting that I can't remember.
Something about his local ties.
I'm terrible at taking notes, so this is just off the top of my head from yesterday. Hopefully you find it interesting. It was a great opportunity to hear the coach up close and personal. He drives a bright red Ford pickup if you were curious, no I'm not a stalker, I just pulled up around the same time he did. I had never thought about it, but I didn't expect him to be in that.

Is it at least a F250 crew cab diesel?
Thanks for the update!

I didn't check closely, but it sure might've been.
I also forgot that he has a goatee now, which I assume will be copied by others. Just so you all know, I've had mine for 14 years...

Thank you for booking your cruise. We truly appreciate and value your business. Please take a few minutes to read this very important guide. It will answer many of your questions regarding your upcoming cruise vacation.
|What is the United States Border Security Act? How do I need to prepare?
On March 1, 2003, all cruise lines must electronically report a manifest of all passengers on each cruise prior to their arriving at the port on embarkation day. This manifest includes personal information about each passenger including name, gender, birthday, residence, citizenship, and passport data (if applicable). Any passengers who have not submitted all the needed information before they get to their ship can expect very long delays at the pier. If a passenger does not supply any piece of required data, he may be denied boarding without a refund.The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) will be standard for all airlines and cruise reservations. Your cruise line will include additional information about APIS with your cruise documents. You'll be asked to send or fax this information prior to your cruise. Or you can learn more about APIS and your cruise line's online and offline embarkation requirements, by clicking here
|Should I buy travel protection?
Travel Protection Terms and Conditions
|I booked my cabin as a Guarantee. When will I get my cabin assignment?
Cabin assignments on Category Guarantees are often made the week of sailing or even the day of sailing. When you receive your cruise documents, your cabin number will be listed as "TBA" (To be Assigned) or "GTY" (guarantee). When you check in at the cruise terminal they will give you your cabin number. It can be anywhere on the ship, but not in a category lower than you paid for. You may even get a free upgrade.
This practice is very similar to booking a hotel room. Hotels promise standard or ocean view rooms, but they do not give you the actual room number until you check-in.Don't worry about the baggage tags the cruise line gives you. The ship's staff and porters receive a passenger manifest on your departure date and will know your cabin number to deliver your bags to the cabin in a timely manner.
|When will I receive my Cruise Documents?
Cruise lines that provide paper tickets will forward directly to our office. We will review for accuracy and forward to you immediately. If your cruise includes an airline ticket provided by the cruise line (an Air/Sea package), these documents are sent to you via Federal Express. Cruise Only documents that are received by us more than three weeks prior to sailing will be shipped via the US Postal Service.If you are traveling at the last minute and booked your cruise just a few days prior to your scheduled departure, you may be required to do a "Pier Pickup," which means your documents will be waiting for you at the cruise terminal. You must show proper proof of citizenship and identification before boarding.
|Should I purchase the Cruise Line's Air/Sea Package?
For answers to more questions about booking airfare for your cruise, please visit our FAQ's About Airline Arrangements for Your Cruise page.
|When will I get my Air Schedule? Can I pick my own flights?
You can actually choose a specific airline and routing, as well as non-stop flights by requesting an Air Deviation. An air deviation allows you to pick your airline and flights prior to making your final payment. There is usually non-refundable fee (per passenger) for this service. Please contact our Passenger Support Desk if you would like to request an air deviation.
You must make your air deviation request in writing at least 70 days before your cruise. Deviations give you a lot of flexibility. You can arrive early, stay extra days at the end of a cruise, or maybe build in a stop-over. You can also fly business class or first class. And you can get your seat assignments when you get the air deviations - assuming the airline assigns seats at that time. This alone is worth it at times, especially on long flights.Air Deviations are on a request basis only. We cannot guarantee that the cruise line will carry out all requests. You can also choose to make your flight arrangements separately.
|Will I have Airline Seat Assignments in advance?
If you are particular about your seat assignments, you might want to consider an air deviation just to secure decent seats on your plane.For answers to more questions about booking airfare for your cruise, please visit our FAQ's About Airline Arrangements for Your Cruise page
|Can I make my own flight arrangements?
If you are making your own flight reservations, please contact our Passenger Support Desk prior to booking your flights. There are required arrival and departure times to ensure that you do not miss the ship's departure or your flight home.If you wish to purchase airport ship transfers from the cruise line, they will require your flight schedule. Please understand, the cruise lines neither control nor are they responsible for late flight arrivals. You are responsible for arriving at the respective ports on time for embarkation and for joining the ship at its next port of call if, for any reason, you miss a scheduled sailing. The cruise lines are not responsible for any financial loss to passengers who are delayed and miss the sailing.
|How much does it cost to park at the Pier?
Rates vary by Cruise Terminal. For a complete listing of North America's most active Cruise Terminals with contact information and approximate daily parking rates, please visit our Parking Rates at the Pier page in our Cruise Resources Section.
|Are there porters available at the airport and the pier?
When you board the ship, a staff member will escort you to your cabin and carry any carry on bags you have with you. Your other luggage will arrive in your cabin later. You may also want to extend a small gratuity for this service.
|Do I need a Passport?
United States and Canadian Citizens:
- Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.
- As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.
The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens returning directly from a U.S. territory are not considered to have left the United States and do not need to present a passport. U.S. territories include the following: Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Travel Documents for U.S. Citizens Under WHTI
Under the proposed implementation plan, the following documents will be acceptable to fulfill document requirements:
U.S. Passport: U.S. citizens may present a valid U.S. passport when traveling via air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, and may also use a U.S. passport when traveling via sea and land borders (including ferry crossings).
The Passport Card (also referred to as the PASS Card): This limited-use passport in card format is currently under development and will be available for use for travel only via land or sea (including ferries) between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Similar in size to a credit card, it will fit easily into a wallet.
DOS and DHS also anticipate that the following documents will continue to be acceptable for their current travel uses under WHTI: SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST, and the U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document. As proposed, members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty traveling on orders will continue to be exempt from the passport requirement.
For travel in any other part of the world, including Fanning Island via Hawaii, a valid passport is required.
In some countries like Russia, Turkey and Brazil, a visa may be required. A Cruise Specialist will notify you of this prior to your cruise.
Resident Aliens:
Resident Aliens who are permanent residents of the U.S. must have their passport and Alien Registration card (Form-1551.) In some instances resident aliens may be required to have sailing permits and or visas to enter some countries.
Foreign Passengers:
Foreign passengers must be in possession of a valid passport and multiple entry visa for the United States (B-2 Visitor.s Visa.)
|How much luggage can I bring?
For more information about Packing for Your Cruise, please visit our Cruise Resource Section.
|Are my meals onboard included? Can I make special dining requests?
For answers to more questions about dining, please visit our Dining FAQ's section in our Cruise Resources section.
|Is it better to have Early Seating or Late Seating?
You may want Early Dining if:
- You are traveling with small children who need to stick to a set meal and bedtime schedule.
- You generally go to bed between 10 pm and Midnight.
- You are taking a very "At Sea" intensive itinerary.
- You are an early riser.
You may want Late Dining if:
- You are a night owl and catch a "second wind" later in the evening.
- You don't want to feel rushed for dinner after a day in port.
- It takes you or your spouse a long time to get ready for dinner.
- You don't mind finishing your meal around 10:15 or 10:30 pm.
We will be happy to notify the cruise line of your dining request and normally they are able to comply. However, it is not guaranteed. If for any reason you are not pleased with either the time or the table assignment, please see the maitre.d once you are on-board the ship and request a change. On certain cruise lines you will be required to verify dining arrangements on the day you board the ship.For answers to more questions about dining, please visit our Dining FAQ's in our Cruise Resources Section.
|How much should I budget for Tipping?
Some cruise lines conveniently include the customary gratuities on your shipboard account during your cruise. However, you are free to adjust the amount of the gratuities according to the level of service you received. Others maintain the traditional process of presenting tips to your servers on the last night of the cruise.
Your Cruise Director will explain tipping procedures during the disembarkation talk. Envelopes for gratuities will be left in your cabin on the last night of the cruise.
|How do I pay for purchases on board? Do they take cash on board?
If you do not have a credit card, you may leave a cash deposit with the purser's desk to cover your incidental, onboard purchases. If your balance is getting low, the purser's desk will notify you and ask that you replenish your balance. If you have a balance remaining at the end of your cruise, it will be refunded.
|Are the restaurants open when the ship is in port?
|How do I learn about daily shipboard activities?
|Are there activities onboard for my kids?
|Do they have babysitting onboard?
Most contemporary cruise lines offer baby sitting in a group-style format in the children's room. These are conducted by the Children's' Program Counselors. Toddlers and older children often have playtime before retiring to individual, sheet-covered mats while watching videos with the other kids. Infants are rocked and placed in individual cribs. Some cruise lines offer this for free while others may charge a small fee. Babysitting services are offered during certain evening hours when the children.s program is not in operation, but generally not on the first or the last night of the cruise. Babysitting during daytime hours is usually offered only while at sea, but a few may have more flexible hours.
Due to liability reasons, few cruise lines still offer "In-Room" babysitting services. Those that do require that you make reservations with the purser's desk at least 24 - 48 hours in advance. This "In-Room" service is usually done by female cabin stewards on their own free time. The fees are set with the cruise line and typically handled with a cash transaction directly with the In-Room Baby Sitter.For specific information about your cruise line's baby sitting program and pricing, please see the Youth Counselor on your ship.
|What do I Wear On-Board?
Formal: Depending on the cruise line, gentlemen may be required to wear a tuxedo. A dark suit is acceptable on some cruise lines. Please refer to your brochure for this information. For the ladies, a long or short cocktail dress or a cocktail pants outfit is appropriate.
Informal: Gentlemen may be required to wear a jacket on these evenings. Ladies may wear a dress or pants outfit.
Casual: Gentlemen may wear an open shirt and slacks. No shorts are allowed in the dining room for dinner.For more information on What to Pack for Your Cruise, please visit our Cruise Resource Section.
|Can I be contacted while I'm on board?
The cost of this service can be from $9.50 to $15.00 per minute, so you will want to instruct your family to contact you accordingly.Additionally, most modern cruise ships Internet Cafes. These services are much more affordable than using the High Seas Operator.
|Can I bring my laptop computer and check my email?
If you must check your email while you're on your cruise, you will find an Internet Cafe on most modern cruise ships. The cost to use the Internet on board is approximately 50 - 75 cents per minute, or higher depending on the cruise line . . . much cheaper than a direct dial phone call from your cabin.
If your ship does not have an Internet Cafe, you can often find one in many of the ports you'll visit while you're on your cruise.By the way, why would you bring a computer on a cruise? It's a vacation!
|Can I take my cell phone on the cruise?
When in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Bermuda, your ability to make and receive calls from your mobile phone depends on the cellular plan you have with your carrier. To ensure that your phone works in these areas, check with your carrier two weeks prior to your cruise to make sure you have access.
When making calls from foreign countries to the USA, you may need to use their long distance calling procedures to make an international call back to the states. Check with your cellular carrier about these codes and procedures.If you are traveling outside of North America to Europe or Asia, you may need a special telephone that can operate on a foreign signal. Again, please check with your cellular carrier.
|How much does it cost to make a phone call from the ship?
Most new ships today have internet access, so you could send an email for a fraction of the cost. Or wait until you're in port and use your cell phone or a calling card to make that call home.
|What time will I be off the ship at the end of my cruise?
A cruise ship usually arrives at its disembarkation port by 7:00 am on the last day of the cruise. Local Customs Officials then come aboard to inspect the ship and process immigration information for US and foreign passengers. If all goes smoothly, the ship is usually cleared for disembarkation between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. There can be delays; therefore, if you are making your own flight arrangements, you should not book return flights home before noon if you are flying from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles or New York. For other cruise ports, please ask your Passenger Support Agent.
|Will they be serving breakfast on the last day?
|What if I have to cancel?
To cover yourself against penalties for canceling due to medical reasons to yourself or family members, we highly advise that you purchase Travel Protection. You can read more about Travel Protection on our Cruise Resources page.Overview of Protection plans offered through LeisureCare
|Can I pre-book my Shore Excursions Online?
To learn more about these Excursions, please click Shore Excursions under the Before You Go section on our website.
|What is your Satisfaction Guarantee?

Syria Untold is an independent digital media project exploring the storytelling of the Syrian struggle and the diverse forms of resistance.
We are a team of Syrian writers, journalists, programmers and designers living in the country and abroad trying to highlight the narrative of the Syrian revolution, which Syrian men and women are writing day by day. Through grassroots campaigns, emerging forms of self-management and self-government and endless manifestations of citizen creativity, a new outspoken Syria has emerged, after decades of repression and paralysis.
With mainstream media focusing increasingly on geostrategic and military aspects and less on internal dynamics developing on the ground, we believe there are many aspects of the Syrian struggle that remain uncovered, many stories that we would not like to see forgotten. Welcome to the stories of daily resistance and creativity. Welcome to Syria Untold.

Welce to the Guild!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My name is Richard Osborne, but I go by the nickname of Oz. I spent a lot of time in the 70's playing D&D, drawing maps and dungeons. I still like to draw maps and other things, so I thought I would try to do them digitally. Downloaded Gimp and Inkscape. Being new to these software, I was surfing the net looking for tutorials and help and I came across this site yesterday. Fantastic site and maps. This site will give me help and inspiration.
I know 3d cad software (SolidWorks), so I am hoping I will pick up the basics of GIMP and Inkscape quickly, with the help of this site and others, and in the near future be uploading one of my maps.
If anyone has any suggestions or hints, please let me know. Thank you.
Also, I am new to forums so if I make a blunder, do let me know.
Welce to the Guild!

Welcome to the Guild Ozz! There are plenty of tutorials here on Map-making in GIMP, and a few for Inkscape as well. The best thing to do is to check out the tutorials section and, once you find a style that you like, start working your way through the tutorial. It's also a good idea to post a WIP so that you can receive constructive criticism while you are working on the map.

Quote The Elf:Well, I'd be in
the market for a secondhand DAV BG1 and I wouldn't be prepared to pay anything close to
500 for one - a new one is within close reach at that price. I agree with Jack - why
bother selling it? For what it would be worth I'd keep it and find another way of
achieving your aim.
Quote Ramirez:I was going to
look for around £500 for the DAV (it's the rack version), but maybe that's a bit
optimistic (£612 inc VAT from KMR)
Quote Persuazion:I apologise, I
haven't thoroughly read you're post
Quote Persuazion:A perfect
example of what thousands of others that read that article will be doing. ditching a great
pre in favour of cheaper alternatives.
Quote:That test done with
drums and guitars? Different ball game.
Quote:I have nothing but
respect for the whole sos team but that was a pretty irresponsible article IMO and should
have been done alongside other tests, perhaps as a 2 or 3 part article with drums and
guitars in the second and vocals last. Vocals are another curve ball in the mix.
Quote:I think by the
time you actually do get round to tests pushing preamps with guitars and drums, it'll be
too late ...
Quote Hugh Robjohns:Yes,
reamping a track through a guitar amp is easy enough, and we have considered that,
although the purists will complain that it's not the same as playing a real guitar live it
should be adequate. The real challenge is to find a consistent drum source...hugh
Quote Ramirez:Wouldn't mic'ing a
single speaker / pair of speakers playing a drum recording at least give a consistent idea
of the differences between preamps?
Quote:... at least it would
give an indication of different characteristics regarding transients...
Quote:Regarding a real drum
kit, it seems as though robots are the only way! Would factors such as changes in skin
tension over prolonged playing come into something like this?
Quote:I presume that microphone splitters are too much of a risk, possibly introducing
their own tonal changes?
Quote:I've just at the
Klark-Technic DN1248 - two of the four splitter outputs are electronically balanced, and
the other two have a transformed. I can see that there would probably be a difference
there, but wouldn't 'two of a kind' (electroncially balanced for this kind of test I
suppose) pass an identical signal? Granted, two outputs is quite useless for a decent
comparison, but in theory...?
Quote Hugh Robjohns:Yes
some kind of robotic player is what is needed. Skin tensions shouldn't be a significant
issue if we keep the playing sequences relatively short.

American Idol on FOX's female contestants were treated to a fashion makeover – Gwen Stefani style. The girls were given a new look straight out of Gwen's L.A.M.B Spring 2011 Collection. Pia donned a L.A.M.B Animal Print Jumpsuit with L.A.M.B. Charon Sandals while Lauren was freshened up by a L.A.M.B. Gingham shirt and bloomers, a L.A.M.B. Black Tuxedo Jacket and finished off with L.A.M.B. Panya Boots. Haley shined in her L.A.M.B. Checkered linen tabard with wraparound waistband, L.A.M.B. Black leather leggings and L.A.M.B. Quest shoes. Gwen's idea behind the L.A.M.B line was to mix some of Hollywood glamour with some street style. Gwen says that the line "represents all the things I love. It's very much about my style and how I put things together." For more information on Gwen's line or to get the looks from the show, check out L.A.M.B..
The guys also got some hot new looks – if you are interested in what the boys donned this week, here is a list for you as they were styled by Miles Siggins. Stefano showed off in a shirt, tie and pants by H&M, topped with a black vest by Express and finished off with Black shoes by Aldo. James donned a suit by Ben Sherman coupled with a tank by Theory and some jewelry by Nicolina Royale. Paul's fresh look consisted of a blazer by Dior Homme, a tux shirt by Vintage and his pants were Neuw jeans. Country turned Rock star this week Scotty found his look with a shirt by Ra-Re paired with jeans by Hudson and finished with his boots by Vintage. Jacob graced the stage with a Perry Ellis pant & vest, a shirt by Express and shoes by Robins, while Casey showed off his shirt and pants from Converse by John Varvatos, a vest by All Saints and topped it off with Shoes by Aldo.

"Paul writing to Timothy admonishes him, "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them" (2 Timothy3:14). Timothy had known the Holy Scriptures from a child which were able to make him wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Then he gives the assurance that all Scripture ("graphe," the writings, something written, a document or Holy Writ) is given by inspiration of God, and the reasons for it. All truth culminates or comes to its fulness in Paul's epistles".
"We believe that the church, which is His Body, has a special position that is separate from the elect of Israel, and also has a separate calling, blessing, hope, and inheritance.
Therefore, when we study the Scriptures, we must rightly divide primarily what is to Israel and what is to us, the church.
Secondarily, we can rightly divide the kingdoms, the covenants, the psalms, doctrine, etc."
"Undoubtedly, or without a doubt, or there can be no doubt (etc.) this is what Paul was referring to in his 1st letter to the Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 3 & 4, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES"

June 4, 2009
n-489, 2008-09
Twenty-four county leaders and one state association executive director came to New York City last week from counties as near as Westchester County, N.Y., and as far as Santa Barbara, CA, to complete the 6th Annual County Leadership Institute (CLI). This rigorous four-day program - developed by New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the National Association of Counties (NACo) - focused on how elected county officials can exercise leadership to address the complex challenges facing counties.
"At the very heart of the Wagner School's approach to public service education is a commitment to learning from both theory and practice," said Ellen Schall, dean of NYU Wagner. "The County Leadership Institute embodies this approach. These county leaders not only discussed the core principles of public service leadership with prominent experts, they also collaborated intensively with each other to develop new ways to attack real-life issues of importance to the citizens of their counties."
CLI participants heard a number of unique perspectives on how they might exercise creative leadership on difficult challenges. Wagner Adjunct Professor Angela Terry discussed how to build and sustain collaborations. In addition, Ruth Nybro, NACO's Director of Education and Training facilitated a roundtable conversation - involving executives from ESRI, NACO's Financial Services Corporation, and Freddie Mac - about how to address "Public and Private Leadership in Recovery."
Marty Linsky, Harvard Kennedy School faculty member and Co-Founder of the global leadership development firm Cambridge Leadership Associates, whose newest is faculty director for the Institute. Linsky led participants through discussions examining the book, "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership," has just been published by Harvard Business Press, challenges elected officials face when they attempt to mobilize people to address tough issues. "Leadership that surfaces conflict, questions long-held beliefs and demands new ways of doing things inevitably creates disturbances," said Linsky. "This Institute is designed to help elected county officials skillfully and successfully lead necessary change in these difficult times."
"We're very happy that our partnership with NYU has been so successful," said Larry Naake, executive director of NACo. "The county officials who participate in the institute get information, ideas, and perspectives they can't get anywhere else."
The participants in this year's County Leadership Institute were:

My wife and I are going to Baltimore and we arrive shortly before a Ravens game. We want to go to the game and are scheduled to arrive 1.5 hours before kickoff. I don't want to buy tickets in advance in case our flight is late. Anyone here have any advice or experience in scalping NFL tickets? I would assume it's like any other sporting event but I thought I'd ask.
I think Maryland has a law about not being able to sell tickets above face value on the streets. Went to an O's game this summer and they had a designated scalping area and they weren't allowed to ask for more than face. I have a friend who is a Baltimore City detective, I will try to get in touch with him to find out if they have the same type of area and what the rules are like.

What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
Investigators uncovered a plan where an associate of San Francisco Giants All-Star Melky Cabrera purchased a website and attempted to create evidence to support a claim that the outfielder inadvertently took the substance that caused his positive drug test.
According to a report by the New York Daily News, Juan Nunez, who works with Cabrera's agents, purchased an existing website and attempted to alter it in a manner that would allow Cabrera to claim the positive test was caused by a substance obtained through the website. The News reported Nunez paid $10,000 for the website.Baseball officials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to challenge the test.Cabrera, MVP of the All-Star Game last month, tested positive for testosterone, MLB said.
"If you create a new website, you would know when the website was created," one baseball official said. "At least they were smart enough to buy an existing website."
College tennis isn't exactly on the mainstream sports radar.
Until now.
A new NCAA proposal could change the way college tennis is played, and current players aren't happy about it.
The move is intended to shorten matches with a new tiebreaker format and modify the NCAA tournament in hopes of giving the sport more exposure. The proposal will be considered at a meeting next month.
If approved, beginning in 2014, all singles matches would be contested in a best-of-three set format with a super tiebreaker used in the third set. The first player to 10 would win the match. Doubles matches would use a six-game set with a tiebreaker at six-all.
Players don't like it one bit.
Stanford's Nicole Gibbs, the reigning NCAA women's champ, wrote on Twitter: "I play tennis for tennis, not for tv coverage and frat boy attendance. Playing a tb for a third set compromises the integrity of the sport!"
The U.S. Tennis Association and Intercollegiate Tennis Association have said they intend to send a formal letter opposing the changes to the NCAA this week.

Prevention: How to Stop the Cycle of Domestic Violence
California domestic violence laws define domestic violence as physical, emotional or financial abuse that is directed at a family member (one's child, grandchild, parent or grandparent) or at an intimate partner. Intimate partners, regardless of their sexual orientation, are significant others, former significant others, married, divorced, living together or formerly lived together, and those who have children together. When this type of abuse is targeted at one of the above listed people, the result is that the perpetrator will face specific Domestic Violence consequences in addition to the consequences that he or she faces for whatever crime he or she committed, because of the fact that the crime will be prosecuted as one of domestic abuse.
Domestic violence and, more specifically intimate partner abuse, is a real problem in this country and knows no ethnic, social or economic boundaries. It affects partners, families and children, friends and communities and has devastating, lasting effects on the abused. The goal of prevention is to stop Domestic Violence, and effective prevention should raise awareness about this growing problem, should stop abusive behavior and should empower victims of domestic violence to leave their abusive relationships. Although this country has made significant improvements in the ways that it responds to this issue, much more needs to be done to ultimately prevent the cycle of domestic violence.
Education is the key to the prevention of intimate partner violence. Counselors and medical professionals must receive training on recognizing the signs of abuse and how to approach an individual that they suspect is being abused. Victims must receive information on their rights and about resources that are available to assist them. The public must be made aware that domestic violence, in any form, is a crime and that offenders will receive severe punishment.
Prevention, in order to be successful, must address three issues. The first focuses on stopping the problem before it starts, which primarily is achieved through educating young persons about the problem. The second issue addresses services for "at-risk" individuals and provides resources to help these people identify known or suspected risk factors. This issue targets individuals, for example, who were either abused as children and therefore may be prone to domestic violence as adults, people with substance abuse issues, or anyone who may have exhibited violent behavior. The third issue is controlling behavior that already exists. This, for example, is punishment that a court imposes on a person convicted of a Domestic Violence-related crime as a result of the abuse that he or she already caused to his or her intimate partner or other family member.
Preventing domestic violence is the key to restoring and maintaining equality within a relationship that is affected by an imbalance of power. If successful, a couple or family will live in an environment that values respect, support, trust, honesty and accountability, responsible parenting, and economic equality, and that rejects violent, threatening and intimidating behavior.
If an individual thinks that he or she may be the victim of domestic or intimate partner abuse or thinks that he or she may need help for his or her own potential abusive behavior, there are signs and symptoms of domestic violence that are commonly recognized as requiring professional attention. Counseling and a host of other resources, easily accessible online, exist for both the victims of abuse and for the partners or family members who abuse those victims. Help is available for those who wish to seek it. The California domestic violence attorneys at The Kavinoky Law Firm can educate a DV victim about his or her rights and about where to get help, and will also fight for an individual accused of domestic violence.

As you may have guessed, I love beauty products more than just about anything else (inanimate) ever. And the holidays are my absolute favorite time to get them because there are tons of new colors, lots of fun collections, and so many amazing sets of cool combos. And since I know everybody is on a budget this year, I've organized this particular gift guide into sections of budgets: $5, $10, $20, $50, and $50+.
While most beauty-related gifts are typically thought of as being for women, people of all genders love cosmetics, skincare products, haircare and more. So, considering this is absolutely my favorite fashion-related topic to write about, this gift guide has got tons of my favorites, many of which I have tried and loved or have friends who swear by them.
Got any questions, recommendations or other thoughts? Let me hear 'em in the comments!

VC Outlook: Noah Walley Eager For 2011 To Be Free Of Bubbles, Busts
As 2010 comes to a close, we asked several venture capital investors to reflect on the past year and give us their outlook for 2011. We'll be bringing you their responses over the coming days.
Next up in the series is Noah Walley, managing director at Investor Growth Capital. Walley, who focuses on software and technology-based services investments, thinks 2010 was better than 2009 – though that's not saying much – but that the IPO market needs to rebound significantly.
What are your feelings about 2010?
In regard to the venture industry as a whole, it felt to me like a slow-motion car crash that began with the financial collapse in 2008 and continued through 2010 – and I see nothing to suggest that it won't continue, albeit at a similarly geological pace, in 2011. Venture funds continued to close or announce they would not be raising new funds. Most of those that did raise new capital raised funds that were smaller than their predecessor funds and, whether measured by dollars or bodies, the industry continued to shrink.
All that said, 2010 had a more optimistic tone than 2009 if only because of the contrast with, and the greater distance from, the prevalent fear and corresponding dearth of new investment activity during 2009 – particularly, the first half of the year.
What do you feel will be the biggest challenge for your part of the industry in 2011?
The existence of a robust and sustained exit environment has been the biggest challenge, particularly at the later/growth stage where we focus, over the last few years and I fear this could be the case again in 2011 – although at this point it is sufficiently hard to predict (and I'm not prepared to be so resolutely pessimistic) to rule out the possibility that a more positive liquidity environment could turn out to be our greatest opportunity!
The large technology consolidators have enough cash, enough stability in their own businesses and are sufficiently starved for growth to possess both the means and the motive to underwrite an active M&A market – but I think we also need a viable technology IPO market to provide the sense of urgency and positive valuation reference points to make things truly healthy. Will we get that in 2011? I think it will take a significant (10% or better) and sustained uptick in the broad market indices through the course of the year (free from the water torture of another European economy going bankrupt every quarter or other such exogenous shocks) to animate the once proud but now fairly threadbare public market infrastructure focused on smaller, typically venture-backed, companies looking to go public.
What is your New Year's wish for the venture capital industry in 2011?
No more bubbles or busts please – just steady progress toward a healthy environment where the amount of capital in the industry continues to shrink to an amount more commensurate with the number of attractive financing opportunities and the liquidity options for venture-backed companies that have grown well and achieved both profitability and scale include both IPO and M&A. That, and an understanding from policy makers in Washington, that helping to grow and support new, private businesses from zero to entities which, collectively, constitute the single greatest source of new jobs is different– and should be treated differently – from trading liquid securities or "rationalizing" existing, large companies.

In response to Not-A-Shot's comment:
Marchand with a fantastic play. In a similar position, most B's forwards these days would have lofted a softie. Marchand looked and found Seidenberg and passed to him instead.
Good stuff.
No disrespect to the rest of the players but I wonder where the Bruins would be without his contributions so far this year. That play shows some solid hockey sense.
