Have you ever noticed how, if you are so inclined (I hear the pages make great rolling paper), you can acquire a bible for free? Go to any church, hotel, or come accross any wandering missionairies and you can leave with bible in hand free of charge (other than maybe your dignity, self respect, and/or hours of having to listen to the "truth"). Yes, there are various specialty bibles you do actually have to pay for, but it's the same words (WARNING: Translations may vary from minor to complete remodel) only wrapped in a fancier binding.
Based on that I ask this: How can the bible be the best selling book of all time if it's given out for free? Hell, even before I truly considered myself athiest I thought that statement was full of crap! This sentiment brought me to a second question: How are sales of books tallied? Mind you, I suck at research otherwise I would have already answered that question myself. My own conclusion is that sales from manufacturers to churches are being included in final figures contributing to the bible's lofty title.
If that is true, the title of 'Best Selling Book' is a farce and/or misinterpreted. It would mean that any organization or business buying any book from the manufacturer should be counted. That would then make the best selling book also the most printed book as whichever book printed the most copies automatically sold the most copies to organizations and retailers.
Thus, I have thought of an arguement point if a christian brings the fact that the bible is the best selling book of all time to the table. Simply because you and your church has bought hundreds of bibles per head to hopefully dole out to prospective converts (or those in need of cigarette paper), does not mean it is a best selling book.
Furthermore, it is not the world's best selling book, A Tale of Two Cities is.

I've had to buy 10+ Bibles because every time a friend brings one over my cat throw up on it. :p (Seriously. We call her the Atheist cat)
I think another part of it is how old is the Bible. It's one of the oldest books out there, so there's a matter of time. Sure, Harry Potter was very popular, but it's only been around for a short period of time. Also, I would argue the different versions are relevant too. I had a friend who had no less than six different Bibles. She had the teen Bible, the woman's Bible, etc. So that helps to increase the numbers dramatically, not to mention the people who want to buy the different interpretations to compare so they can know the "accurate" answers.

Discover! Simulations
Describing Matter
1. Get Set to Explore
- property: Anything you can learn about an object by using your senses; sinking and floating are properties of objects.
Building Background
- Review the definition of property with the class. Ask children to name different properties of common objects. Guide them to understand that whether an object sinks or floats in water is a property of the object.
- Have children recall different experiences they have had with objects sinking or floating, in a bathtub or a swimming pool, or during a classroom activity, such as the one on Student Edition page E3. Elicit functional definitions of floating and sinking: objects that float stay on top of water; objects that sink drop to the bottom of a container of water.
- Through class discussion, work with children to make a list of factors that affect whether an object floats or sinks. Write these factors on the board for children to refer to as they do the simulation. An object's weight (density), its shape, and whether or not it contains air are examples of factors that influence whether an object sinks or floats.
- Have children each make a chart with space to record the names of 12 different objects. For each object, they should record a prediction about whether the object will sink or float, whether the object sank or floated in the simulation, and the reason for the object sinking or floating. If you wish, you can make such a chart for the children, photocopy it, and hand it out before the children do the simulation.
- Read the Discover! question to the class: A big tugboat floats in water. Will a pumpkin float in water? Direct children to record their predictions in their charts.
2. Guide the Exploration
- Let children launch the Discover! Simulation. Tell them to listen closely to the question and the directions.
- Have children use their charts to list the different objects shown on the screen. For each object, children should predict whether the object will sink or float, recording their predictions in their charts. Children may enjoy working in groups of three to do this simulation.
- After children have made their predictions, direct them to drag each object to the tub and release it. They should note whether the object sinks or floats and what explanation is given for this.
3. Review/Assess
- Go over the results with the class, with volunteers reporting the results for different objects. Children should note that the following objects float in water: balloon, basketball, beach ball, crayon, Popsicle® stick, pumpkin, shoe; children should note that these objects sink in water: clay ball, golf ball, marble, metal paperclip, penny, potato.
- Review Step 3's Wrap-Up text with the class. Emphasize the importance of the air space in helping to explain why the pumpkin floats. Guide children to name other objects in the simulation that float in part because of the air spaces they or their materials contain: balloon, basketball, beach ball, shoe.
- Present the Extension question to the class. Let volunteers share their ideas with the class. Possible ideas might be to flatten the object, reshape it, or change it so that it includes one or more air pockets.
If time permits, present children with the following question or activity:
- Critical Thinking: Analyze How can an object that floats aid a swimmer who is in trouble? How can an object that sinks aid a diver? Answer: The swimmer can hold on to the floating object to help him or her stay on top of the water; the diver can hold on to the object that sinks to make it easier for him or her to dive down under water and to stay under water.
- Inquiry Skill: Predict Pick four or more objects in your classroom or in your home that will not be damaged by water. Predict whether they will sink or float. Record your predictions and test them in a sink or tub of water. Answer: Answers will vary depending on the objects children choose: objects made of plastic and wood generally will float; those made of most metals will sink.
4. Reaching All Learners
On Level: Visual Learners and Kinesthetic Learners
Give children a bucket full of water and encourage them to test their predictions of either the objects in the simulation or the objects they made predictions about in the Inquiry Skill: activity, above. Make sure children record their results. Watching the objects sink or float and taking them out of the water can help reinforce children's learning. Make sure to give children towels, so that they can dry their hands.

Eight years ago Australian Bill Chaffey's life was turned upside-down when he was hit by a truck five days before his planned IRONMAN debut. The incident left him paralyzed in his left leg, and with a fractured pelvis and four broken vertebrae.
Chaffey spent five months in hospital following his horrific accident in 2005, and turned to sport to spark his rehabilitation—initially with swimming and then racing wheelchairs in marathons. In time he moved onto a handcycle and returned to his love of triathlon. His first race was the Gold Coast half-distance race four years ago, and he's been going strong ever since: This month Chaffey claimed his fourth ITU Paratriathlon World Championship. His latest target? The 2013 GoPro IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona.
Chaffey's inspiration continues to be celebrated Australian John Maclean, the first wheelchair athlete to complete the GoPro IRONMAN World Championship and a member of the IRONMAN Hall of Fame. "He was very inspirational in getting me back into triathlon after my injury. I'd read about John prior to my accident, which is how I knew I'd still be able to compete afterward," Chaffey says. He adds that he asked Maclean where to buy a race chair so he could compete in marathons, and Maclean encouraged him to return to triathlon instead.
The 37-year-old father of two regained his strength and fitness, turning himself into an outstanding paratriathlete. His first world title over the Olympic distance came at home on the Gold Coast in 2009, and he followed with wins in 2010 and 2012. He says he had to dig deep to bag his fourth world title, taking the lead only 200 meters from the finish in London's Hyde Park.
"This is just the sweetest victory. To come from behind and to pinch it at the finish like that was just unbelievable—you can never say die," he says.
While Chaffey is overwhelmed by his four world titles, it is Hawaii that will cap the journey he started when he qualified at IRONMAN Cairns (an event that became an official qualifier for paratriathletes just this year).
And he did more than just qualify: Chaffey was out of the water in a remarkable 1:03.47, 191st in a field of 1,220 able-bodied athletes. He followed that up with a 6:41.53 effort on the handcycle, and a 2:18.01 wheelchair marathon for a finish time of 10:15.42.
"After my accident I thought I'd be lucky to be able to do any IRONMAN, let alone the GoPro IRONMAN World Championship," he says. "My ultimate goal, though, is to get the IRONMAN medal I was never able to get in 2005."

This review comes to us from Mark Stevens, our friend down in Adelaide who blogs at The Parson's Patch, and he explains the context for this review.
Before I begin my review of Matt Chandler's new book "The Explicit Gospel" I have to confess a few things. Firstly, earlier this year I read Scot's book "The King Jesus Gospel". Surprisingly it was the first book I read dedicated to asking the question, "What is the Gospel?" Every book I had read up until this point either assumed the gospel was a known entity or devoted only a chapter or even a paragraph to asking (and answering) the question. Secondly, earlier this year I had the privilege of sitting in Scot's class at Tabor Adelaide where he taught for 5 days on the King Jesus Gospel. After 5 days I was thoroughly convinced and converted. To me Scot's argument makes sense and more than anything I like his starting point (What did Paul mean when he used the word Gospel).
That being said I tried to read all of the preparation literature with an open mind. As part of the pre-reading for the course we were handed Matt Chandler's "Explicit Gospel". I want to say from the outset, it's not that I disagree with what Chandler is saying, like Scot I just don't think he explains the gospel in a way that does justice to the gospel! Maybe I should explain.
How does Matt Chandler define the gospel?
Matt Chandler's 'Explicit Gospel,' represent a Soterian approach to the gospel. Soterians, according to Scot, equate the word gospel with the word salvation leading to emphasis on a personal salvation. The good news is good news about HOW we are saved. The Soterian gospel is common amongst evangelicals like Chandler because often, 'when we evangelicals see the word gospel, our instinct is to think (personal) salvation'.[1] I contend, because the soterian-gospel outlined by Chandler begins with the problem of sin it can only find its logical conclusion with salvation. The good news is only good news in relation to the bad news of sin. Please don't mishear me, sin is a problem. I just don't think it is where the gospel begins. One thing I note is sorely lacking in Chandlers' book is any interaction with what Paul meant when he used the word Gospel; and I don't just mean the meaning of the word. I am talking about the socio-scientific stuff as well.
Matt Chandler's Explicit Gospel
What is the explicit gospel? According to Chandler, it is the gospel in its purest form, lived out unashamedly in and for the world. The gospel is the story of how the glory of God is reinstated after the fall. As I understand it this is a very reformed way of explaining the gospel. Am I correct?
Chandler explores the gospel from two vantage points he names 'the gospel on the ground' and 'the gospel in the air.'[2]
'The gospel on the ground' explores the character and nature of God and fallen man, the intervention of Christ, and the appropriate response of man to Christ's work on the cross.'[3] Within this framework, Chandler is presenting the good news as information about how a person can be saved. Chandler depicts the gospel as a deep chasm between God and man that God, in Christ, has bridged the gap; an approach that Scot, in his book, identifies at the heart of a soterian gospel.[4][5]
Interestingly Chandler suggests that the Bible isn't about us at all. 'From beginning to end, the Scriptures reveal that the foremost desire of God's heart is not our salvation but rather the glory of his own name.'[6] I find this a strange argument but perhaps it is the Barthian in me that has always believed that God's desire for our salvation is born out of his desire to be the God of humanity. Chandler's argument seems to suggest that God is first and foremost concerned with protecting his own image.
Essentially what Chandler goes on to argue is that unless you have the right belief about God, Christ and the state of humanity you can never receive the good news, 'Believing the news that God is holy, that you are a sinner and that Christ has reconciled you to God by his life, death and resurrection is what justifies you.'[7] What this ignores, in my opinion, is what Scot picks up that when Paul and the other apostles gospelled this is not the story they told. They didn't jump from Gen 3 to Romans 3 (to quote Scot).
If the gospel on the ground is about getting right what one believes about God and the fallen state of humanity; the gospel in the air explains what the gospel means for creation and redemption and how the gospel is understood within the greater purposes of God's plan. Chandler outlines the gospel in the air under the themes of; creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. Chandler contends 'The context of the gospel message is not our benefit or our salvation; the context of the gospel is the supremacy of Christ and the glory of God. This story of the good news is personal, but it is also cosmic.'[8] Although Chandler claims to look at the bigger picture what he does is ignore the story of Israel and more importantly the story of Jesus in relation to the gospel (in the Gospels). Is it any wonder there is very little about the story of Jesus in Chandler's argument other than how his death and resurrection relate to fixing the problem of sin? As I said, for the most part I don't disagree with what Chandler says I just don't think it is the gospel!
Chandler's presentation of the gospel is framed within a systematic doctrinal understanding of salvation. For me it is a little too neat. It smacks of trying to control what people believe instead of leading them to Jesus. Soterians begin with the problem of sin which leads to an argument always in search of a solution. The cross is at the centre of the gospel message and therefore, the ultimate answer to the problem.[10][11] As Chandler states, the cross is the "central tenant of all we believe about salvation" and the death of Jesus the wrath absorbing cross of Christ was the plan of God before creation".[12] His soterian gospel deals only with salvation and ignores the larger gospel story of Israel and Jesus the Messiah as the fulfilment of Israel's story.
It is my opinion that Chandler's approach to the gospel does not begin with good news. It starts with the bad news first; we're all in trouble because we have failed to understand the gospel. He states, "How can you grow up going to church every week and not hear the gospel? I quickly decided that these people had heard the gospel but didn't have the spiritual ears to truly hear it, to receive it."[13] Like all books read for this assignment Matt Chandler is trying to get it understand and outline what he believes the gospels to be, "I want to spend my time with you trying to make sure that when we use the word gospel, we are talking about the same thing".[14] Unfortunately, if you disagree with Chandler there is little room for you in the Kingdom of God.
At the heart of Scot's approach to understanding the gospel is a desire to understand what Paul meant when he used the word Gospel. Using 1 Corinthians 15:1-21 as his framework McKnight argues that one is able to discern the content of the gospel as Paul himself understood it.
At the beginning of 'The King Jesus Gospel' McKnight quotes N.T. Wright's view of how he sees many people's explanation of the gospel. The quote emphasises McKnight's own judgements:
'I am perfectly comfortable with what people normally mean when they "the gospel". I just don't think it is what Paul means. In other words, I am not denying that the usual meanings are things that people ought to say, to preach about, and to believe. I simply wouldn't use the word "gospel" to denote those things.'[15]
Both Scot and Matt Chandler seek to explain the gospel. Both claim to do so in light of what Paul really said. However, I would conclude that Chandler fails to employ a method of framing the gospel that is true to what Paul really meant. Not only does he fail to recognise the influence of his own tradition and experience he also fails to address his own preconceptions of the word. In doing so the gospel, the story of Jesus the Messiah as the filling up of Israel's story and the birth, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus as the content of the gospel out of which salvation flows, is missed.
And that leads me to my final question. Does a person, me included, Scot, and even you, have to believe what Chandler believes to be considered Christians? Is there any room for those of us who disagree? I just think there might be more to the gospel than Gen 3 and Romans 3!

#1 Thanks for this. It seems obvious but then "common sense" is not so common. Given I've just transitioned between jobs with a break of 1 month between, I realised how little savings I had left and how close to the mark things came. This structure is great advice and one I'll be passing on to my daughters so they never end up in the unpleasant places I've been over the years. Thanks you.

#3 new to the work force, and savings... what do you mean by "minimum amount in your Savings account"
#4 Thanks for the tip. I'm new. Is there a way to set a minimum amount?
#5 Hey guys, the minimum amount is the "6x your monthly expenses!"

#6 That makes perfect sense. I wonder however, how one would gain 6X your monthly expenses? is the only answer to transfer over the excess after the monthly expenses.....?
#7 out of all the weird tips on this website. that's a really good tip. how much money do you get when you do that?

Beneath the Planet of the Iterative Quicksort
The secret ingredient for parallel iterative sorting is okra!
No, that doesn't sound right. That's the secret ingredient on next week's Iron Chef episode. (Shhh, don't spoil it for anyone. Try to act surprised when they announce it.)
For parallel iterative Quicksort, the missing piece from my last blog is how to terminate the sorting threads. To review, we need to use a thread-safe structure that can hold the index pairs of sub-arrays to be partitioned and then sorted. We don't want to drop an index pair or sort the same sub-array more than once. A quick and dirty implementation of a thread-safe queue using Windows threads includes a
CriticalSection object as part of the queue structure to protect access to the queue. Most of the code for both
enqueue() and
dequeue() operations will be protected by the lock, which will serialize access to the queue. That's the quick part.
The dirty part would be not having a separate test for the queue being empty, but returning an error code when a thread tries to
dequeue() from an empty queue. To use this modification in serial, the body of the iterative Quicksort function is enclosed in an infinite
while-loop. When the function finds an empty queue (only after the sort is complete since the initial pair of index values for the whole array to be sorted was pushed onto the queue before the Quicksort function was first called), it returns the error code and then breaks out of the infinite loop.
Why go to such lengths? Why not just have a separate test for the queue being empty? Two reasons:
- First, when threaded, the nondeterministic execution can allow one thread to find a non-empty queue and, before it can pull out the single index pair on the queue, another thread also finds the queue holds something. Both threads expect to find an index pair, but only one will get it and the other will get garbage.
- Second, the empty queue can no longer be used to determine sort completion when more than one thread is involved in the sort. Once the initial index pair is taken out of the queue by one thread, any other threads involved with the sort will find the queue empty. If those threads terminate their execution, the first thread will be left alone to sort the whole array.
So, getting back to terminating threads, you first need to know when it is okay for threads to terminate. If the empty queue cannot be used to signal when the sorting is done, what other condition could be used to know when all items have been placed in their final position? Fortunately, the Quicksort algorithm has a special property that we can exploit: every time we call the
Partition() function at least one item the pivot element is known to be in its sorted position. That means we can simply increment a shared counter after
Partition() is executed and, when the counter equals the total number of items that were to be sorted, every item is in its final position.
Obviously the increment operation on the shared counter needs to be done in a protected way. If we use Windows threads for our parallelism, the
InterlockedIncrement() function to perform an atomic increment after returning from calls to
Partition(). Also, we can test for the special case where the sub-array to be sorted has a single element in it. Because this item must also be in its final position, there will be no need to call
QuickSort() on that one thing, but simply increment the counter.
Before we go all the way with a parallel solution, let's take a look at how all the ideas discussed above can be implemented into the serial iterative
QuickSort() function.
long tCount = 0; BOOL Done = FALSE; void QuickSort(void *pArg) { int p, r, q; qSortIndex *d, *d1, *d2; while (1) { if (Done) break; // signal to terminate Q.dequeue(&d); p = d.lo; r = d.hi; if (p < r) { // more than one thing to sort q = Partition(p, r); InterlockedIncrement(&tCount); d1.lo = p; d1.hi = q-1; Q.enqueue(d1); d2.lo = q+1; d2.hi = r; Q.enqueue(d2); } else if (p == r) { // exactly one thing to be sorted InterlockedIncrement(&tCount); if (tCount == N) Done = TRUE; // Signal that sorting is done } } }
The (shared) variables
tCount and
Done are defined and initialized external to the
QuickSort() function. The sort is completed when
tCount reaches the number of items (
N) in the original array to be sorted. This sets
Done to
TRUE and the next iteration of the
while-loop will
break out rather than attempt to remove something from the (now empty) queue,
Q. Notice that even though I talked about the modification of an error code being returned from the
dequeue() method, we don't use it here in the serial version.

The Ecologist: A new study finds that radioactive Iodine from Fukushima has caused a significant increase in hypothyroidism among babies in California, 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean.
A new study of the effects of tiny quantities of radioactive fallout from Fukushima on the health of babies born in California shows a significant excess of hypothyroidism caused by the radioactive contamination travelling 5,000 miles across the Pacific. The article will be published next week in the peer-reviewed journal Open Journal of Pediatrics.
Congenital hypothyroidism is a rare but serious condition normally affecting about one child in 2,000, and one that demands clinical intervention - the growth of children suffering from the condition is affected if they are left untreated. All babies born in California are monitored at birth for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels in blood, since high levels indicate hypothyroidism.
Joe Mangano and Janette Sherman of the Radiation and Public Health Project in New York, and Christopher Busby, guest researcher at Jacobs University, Bremen, examined congenital hypothyroidism (CH) rates in newborns using data obtained from the State of California over the period of the Fukushima explosions.
Their results are published in their paper Changes in confirmed plus borderline cases of congenital hypothyroidism in California as a function of environmental fallout from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. The researchers compared data for babies exposed to radioactive Iodine-131 and born between March 17th and Dec 31st 2011 with unexposed babies born in 2011 before the exposures plus those born in 2012.
Confirmed cases of hypothyroidism, defined as those with TSH level greater than 29 units increased by 21% in the group of babies that were exposed to excess radioactive Iodine in the womb [*]. The same group of children had a 27% increase in 'borderline cases' [**].

Our Apple Cake Featured in New York Times
A couple of weeks before Rosh Hashana, we got a call from Florence Fabricant of the New York Times. She was interested in our apple cake for her column in the Dining In section of the Times. She asked if we could please send her one. "Of course, how many would you like?" was my response. Freshly baked and wrapped, the cake was whisked off by Fedex to arrive at her home the next morning. Needless to say, we were thrilled when she called a few days later to inform us that the cake would indeed be featured in the paper on September 15. It was a very exciting–and busy–time, indeed. After hundreds of apple cakes baked, wrapped and shipped, we were finally able to relax and enjoy the holiday! Thanks to all who read the article and purchased the cake.

20,000 New Species Under the Sea
When thousands of biologists from more than 80 countries collaborated on the Census of Marine Life, they knew the underwater world was largely a mystery. But they didn't realize how much they could discover, even in their own back yards.
In what scientists called the first global effort of its kind, the census, released in October 2010 after a 10-year effort, increased the estimate of known marine species from about 230,000 to 250,000. It found more than 6,000 potential new species and produced descriptions of more than 1,200 of them.
"We found new species everywhere we looked, even in some of the most well-known areas," says Paul Snelgrove, who wrote a book based on the studies, Discoveries of the Census of Marine Life.
The findings not only lay the foundation for future research but offer insight on the extent of human impact on the ocean.
The new species include a six-and-a-half-pound lobster in Madagascar and deep-sea octopus, squid, and fish.
Scientists also spotted never-before-seen behaviors in animals, says Jim Bolger, executive director of the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project, a program of the census. For example, scientists thought green sturgeon stayed near the California and Oregon streams where they are born, but they instead migrate up to 1,000 miles north to Vancouver Island in the winter—following the opposite route of most migrating species.
Scientists also say the research offers a sobering look at thousands of years of human impact on ocean health and fish populations.
What Lies Beneath
Video: The Census of Marine Life reveals more than 6,000 potentially new species living in our oceans.
"A lot of these resources have been depleted before we really had the chance to characterize them," Snelgrove says, citing the near-disappearance of tuna in the North Sea and even the shrinking size of prizewinning game fish in Florida.
The census has already changed environmental policy. Findings on the green sturgeon led to expansion of protected habitat for the fish.
Historically, most human damage to the ocean was caused by overfishing, Snelgrove says, but biologists believe the biggest impacts of the future will come from ocean acidification and warming. They are studying how these factors will affect marine life.
"There's still spectacular life in the ocean that's well worth preserving," he says. "It gives me a lot of hope that it's well worth the effort."
We take for granted that humans have rights. Courts say corporations do, too.
Now, there's growing interest in rights for Nature and animals.
Born violent? A troop of baboons chooses an enduring culture of peace.
YES! asked Jane Goodall to tell us what we can do in our everyday lives to care for the animals we love.

Why See Fiddler on the Roof?
Broadway ShowsMusicalsTony Nominees2016 Tony NomineesClassic
The Musical Classic Returns!
Following 2016's wildly acclaimed Broadway revival, the classic Fiddler on the Roof sets out on a national tour. A landmark show born of the Golden Age of American musicals, Fiddler is a boisterous, heartfelt tale of love and acceptance set in a Russian on the edge of revolution. Among the show's countless iconic songs written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick are 'If I Were A Rich Man,' 'Matchmaker, Matchmaker,' and 'Sunrise, Sunset.'
Directed by Bartlett Sher
Fiddler first premiered on Broadway in 1964, and won an incredible nine Tony Awards. It was subsequently adapted for the silver screen, winning three Oscars. The latest Broadway production, led by the irrepressible Danny Burstein, proved to be a worthy successor, playing over 400 performances and picking up three Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Choreography. With Tony winner Bartlett Sher in the director's chair
At the turn of the 20th Century, Russia is a country on the brink of revolution. Although the chaos seems to seldom touch the isolated family of Tevye the Milkman, he sees the effect on his three elder daughters and the lives that they choose the lead.
Tzeitel, the oldest has little prospects for a poor woman, when the widowed and ancient butcher Lazar Wolf shows interest in her whilst she pines for the poor tailor Motel, it begins a story of rebellion, violence, love and acceptance that finds Tevye and the family learning to leave behind their old lives and start a new one full of hope and laughter!

I'll be on a little bit of a hiatus over the next few weeks as I pack up our house due to our impending move! We're staying in the same city, but moving about five miles from our current home, so it's all the work without all of the sense of dislocation.
Rest assured that once we get settled we'll be doing more on-location visits, and I'll be hitting up the Pleasant Hill library for some digging into Rose Hill and other cemeteries!

love this site. Just found it this morning. Am very interested in local cemetaries and the history they produce. Thank you for the goldmine of information and pictures. Sure does beat me risking arrest for trespassing.
Hope you continue after the hiatus.
I have some pictures of Live Oak (there's that nasty old trespass thing again) that you might be interested in.

Home > News > Concord Hospital Trust Accepting Scholarship Applications
Published on March 14, 2013
Concord Hospital Trust, the philanthropic arm of Concord Hospital, announces the Concord Hospital Trust Scholarship Fund for nursing and allied health students.
The Fund, part of the Trust's endowments, was made possible by the generosity of Concord Hospital's many benefactors, both past and present. Their vision was to inspire and enable students to pursue careers in the nursing and allied healthcare professions to enrich their lives, while ensuring the continued availability of quality health care to the Greater Concord community.
The Concord Hospital Trust Scholarship Committee, a volunteer sub-committee of the Trust's Stewardship Committee, has developed scholarship eligibility guidelines and will make decisions on Fund awards.
"Scholarships are available to deserving students pursuing nursing careers. Funds are also available on a limited basis to students pursuing careers in qualifying fields of allied health care," said Harriet Resnicoff, Scholarship Sub-Committee chair. "Awards may range from $1,000 - $5,000 for deserving students."

Laparotomy is a surgical procedure that is done by making an
incision in the lower abdomen. This allows the surgeon to see and inspect the
abdominal cavity for structural problems, sites of
endometriosis (implants), and scar tissue (adhesions). The surgeon can then remove implants and
adhesions. The surgeon can also correct structural problems that interfere with
an organ's normal function, such as removing adhesions from the bowel
Many of the procedures that required a laparotomy in the
past can now be done with
laparoscopy, which uses a smaller incision. Ask your
surgeon why laparotomy is required.
Laparotomy is a likely treatment for moderate
to severe
chronic female pelvic pain when:
A laparotomy is usually required to remove:
Surgery for chronic female pelvic
pain should be limited to the treatment of surgically correctable problems.
There is no evidence that surgical removal of the reproductive organs relieves
chronic pelvic pain.footnote 1
Laparotomy may be needed when scar
tissue binds abdominal organs, impairing their function. But a laparotomy
may cause more scar tissue to form.
It is important that your
surgeon understands your treatment goals. Be sure you discuss your goals, such
as the desire for future pregnancies. If fertility is not your primary
treatment goal, a decision could be made to remove one or both ovaries, one or
both fallopian tubes, or the uterus during a laparotomy.

His summer will be spent traveling more than 9,000 miles through 16 states, playing in 44 performances at 39 venues for 275,000 spectators.
Aaron Benton, an 11th-grader at North Brunswick High School, has been selected to perform with the Spirit Drum and Bugle Corps this summer.
Benton auditioned for the corps earlier this year when auditions were at his school. His mother originally told him he couldn't audition due to the financial reasons—corps tuition is $2,300. But Mark Riel, Benton's band director, told him to audition despite the cost.

Building Services: The Assembly Model
The Assembly Model describes how services are defined and configured.
Components are at the core of the SCA Model, and can be implemented in any language that supports SCA. Once defined, Components can be configured declaratively using Properties, which map to accessors and mutators in the underlying implementation. Figure 2 is a digram of a component. Example 1(a) is a declaration of a component in XML.
(a) <component name="AddServiceComponent"> <implementation.java class="calculator.AddServiceImpl"/> </component> (b) <component name="CalculatorServiceComponent"> <implementation.java class="calculator.CalculatorServiceImpl"/> <reference name="addService">AddServiceComponent</reference> </component>
References let Components invoke other services. References are resolved at deploy time or runtime. Example 1(b) shows an example reference.
Composites are groupings of Components. Depending on the declaration, a Composite can be used as a service or new Component. Thus, the SCA model supports recursive assembly.
Services are essentially Composites that you promote to Services by including the service element in the Composite declarations. Like Components, Composites and Services can be configured declaratively through Properties. As you can see from the description of the elements of an SCA assembly, existing applications can be incorporated into the architecture by modeling the application as a Component, Composite, or providing a Reference to a callable interface of the application.

So here we are at the last episode of Bonekickers. Some general thoughts on the series follow the recap.
Usually, when I recap things, I recap while watching the episode, pausing the DVD whenever I need to note something down. It has been suggested to me that, since I haven't seen Bonekickers before, I might enjoy it more if I watch it through properly first. So I've given it a go, and it does help to watch it properly – it makes the whole thing less stilted and the end seems less far away. The recap will be a bit less detailed though, as I have so many hours in the day to spend watching Bonekickers! Also, this one is really, really bonkers…
First of all, let's get this out of the way: King Arthur did not exist. Nor did Merlin, the Lady of the Lake, Agamemnon, Achilles, Aeneas, Romulus, Beowulf or Father Christmas and I'd be very dubious about Robin Hood. But we've discussed this before.
We're now really, really deep into fantasyland, even borderline horror in places. If you step back and imagine you're watching an episode of Stargate SG-1 or an Indiana Jones adventure, it's um, well kinda fun in a this-is-so-bad-it's-funny sort of way. The problem with Bonekickers is that it acts as if it's somehow plausible…
The opening credits sum up some of the history of the mysterious sword, which Taggart now names as Excaliber, and show a rather nice shot of a meteorite landing which kind of makes me want to watch Stargate or Buffy. While Taggart muses about the sword and Tennyson, Viv bangs on her door screaming 'I'm your sister!' over and over again. Yes, I think she's got the message now. Gillian screams and throws a book at the wall. Credits.
Glastonbury Tor! I've been there! And it's Dexter Fletcher as an archaeologist! (Dexter Fletcher was the star of Press Gang, an 80s kids TV show that was repeated on Nikolodeon in the 90s. He was also a pirate in Stardust).
An amateur is trying to join in on the Glastonbury Tor dig and Dexter Fletcher dismisses him. The amateur has a strong West Country accent. Come on, BBC, are we still living in the 1930s? Plenty of academics have West Country accents, just as plenty have cockney accents.
The poor unfortunate amateur is dismissed and ridiculed by everyone around him until eventually he gets gruesomely bumped off, a few scenes from now. I realise that this was made before the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard, which was discovered by an amateur metal detector who was thoroughly sensible about the whole thing, alerted professional archaeologists (from our university!) to dig it like he was supposed to and will soon be a very rich man because of it. If you want to see a true story about an extraordinary Dark Age find discovered by a lucky amateur, the Staffordshire Hoard is it, and we're all very grateful to him. (There are no mythical swords in the Staffordshire Hoard I'm afraid, but it's genuinely an incredibly exciting find which may change, or at least sharpen, our view of Dark Age Britain, which I think is pretty exciting, with or without Arthur).
Taggart's mother is still mad, and being cared for by a bizarrely rude and pushy nurse. Taggart insists she has neither a sister nor a quest, despite all evidence to the contrary.
NIJ and AL are stuck between Viv and Taggart, who keep sniping at each other, and they take it out on the amateur, but they do all go out to see what he has found at Glastonbury, though not before they've made a scene in front of a very confused media whore (who, when Viv asks if she can quit and still get a good reference, asks if NIJ has been bothering her – I like him).
The find at Glastonbury is supposedly part of a large round table with the name 'Arthur' on it (and luckily I am spared a great deal of historical whinging by having already seen the episode – luckily even Bonekickers isn't that ridiculous).
Glastonbury Tor. Where I have been.
The media whore has an encounter with one of Taggart's stalkers, who appears to have an actual Bristol phone number – I hope that's not someone's real number. The amateur is kidnapped while NIJ thankfully explains that they didn't have circular meeting tables in the sixth century and Taggart insists it's a fake, though bizarrely AL is the believer this time around. Also, Taggart and Viv are still bickering and Taggart fires Viv. Then the unfortunate amateur is brutally murdered for betraying some scary people to Taggart.
There's a Tennyson flashback which introduces us to the 'Disciples of Good Use', who wander around wearing scary white masks and murder people. Taggart tells NIJ that she thinks 'Henry Timberdyne' is after her and he freaks out, explains that 'Henry Timberdyne' and the Disciples of Good Use are a secret society who were behind her mother's madness, then tells her they're really really scary and he won't have anything more to do with any of it, and promptly leaves.
Dexter Fletcher and the scary man nick the table fragment and get Viv to tell them what she knows about it. Taggart has established that the table fragment is a fake because she's found a ring pull buried underneath it, and says a student must have buried it as a joke, and that she did the same as a student. AL tries to kiss her but she's distracted by Dexter Fletcher talking about the table on the news.
The scary man is really annoyed when he finds out (through Viv) that the table is a fake, and that Dexter has made them all look really silly, so he murders Dexter Fletcher by shutting him in a coffin marked 'Henry Timberdyne' with some very large rats. Hmm, interesting method. They all somehow know that Taggart and Viv are sisters too, don't' know what's going on there.
Taggart shows AL her Crazy Room full of drawings of swords and he is a little taken aback. Then they discuss how the sword fits into every episode we've seen – forged from a meteor in ancient Mesopotamia, picked up by Alexander (Cradle of Civilization), taken by Romans looting Alexander's tomb, taken to Britain by Claudius, picked up briefly by Boudicca (The Eternal Fire), it hangs around Britain for a while and is used by Arthur (this one), then – and this is where they really start to struggle – taken by Britons to France fleeing a Saxon invasion (and I feel duty-bound to point out that we're not sure the Saxons did invade, they may just have settled in less populated areas), the Templar Knights get it to St Joan (Army of God and The Lines of War – this link with Joan of Arc is really odd and kinda pointless, as it goes nowhere, they're just desperate to shoehorn The Lines of War in somewhere), the remenants of the Knights Templar then recovered it, moved to Portugal, then the Portugese traded it with the Ashante from West Africa, they ended up shipwrecked in the Bristol Channel (Warriors) and the sword was lost. Where everyone has been going wrong has been stopping with Arthur and not knowing all the stuff our guys have been finding out.
Taggart finds a random face on her wall , meaning someone has been in there, but AL just thinks she's going completely crazy at this point, like her mother, and has drawn it herself, so they have a big fight and he storms off. Meanwhile, Viv is in a room full of the scary white masks. How and why did she get there? No one knows! Viv refuses to share information, so the scary men shut her in the coffin, but without the rats this time – they just want to torture/scare her into talking. They try to get Taggart, but miss her because she's in her mother's secret underfloor hiding place where she keeps baby photos of Viv. Wow, that's an impressive nursing home/asylum, that comes with secret underfloor compartments!
The media whore helps Taggart go through her mother's old letters and a bunch of information about Tennyson and his friend Hallan, who got himself murdered by the Disciples of Good Use for. They actually work really well together and are both rendered less annoying – this part made me want to watch another series with just those two in it. They find a coded receipt from which Taggart works out that a beachcomber found the sword, handed it in to Hallan, the Disciples got involved and wanted to take over the country and killed him, and he left it to Tennyson as 'the gleam' with the words 'know that the quest is everything', and Tennyson buried it.
Outside Viv's tomb, NIJ comes out from the bushes, decks the guard and rescues her, introducing me to a new sensation – being pleased to see him. They go back to headquarters (where the media whore amusingly lets slip that he fancies Taggart). They all work out from Tennyson's In Memoriam that Tennyson buried the sword with Hallan, and NIJ explains that he helped Taggart's mother as an undergrad and spent some time in the coffin as a result. The grave contains a letter with another clue, sending them to Wells Cathedral.
The sword turns out to be underneath a lake – OK, well – near the cathedral – of course. NIJ and Viv go to the cathedral to nose around, which is a bad idea of course, as they get attacked by the scary men, causing NIJ to yell 'Don't mess with me, I'm an archaeologist!' I think they're trying to replicate the hilarity and tone of something like Rachel Weisz's line in The Mummy, where she says 'I know what I am – I'm a librarian!' with great pride, but it doesn't really work. Taggart goes under the water to find the sword and AL has to abandon her to go and help the other two, which he does by wielding a mace, which is very cool.
Our guys win the fight, of course, and rush back to Taggart, who emerges triumphant from the water, holding the sword aloft, just like the Lady of the Lake. This bit is actually genuinely cool in a really cheesy way. She hugs Viv and apparently all is forgiven.
Then it all gets even weirder. A white-haired scary man in white mask turns up. He takes the sword and attacked Taggart, and manages to totally break it. Taggart points out that after thousands of years it's destroyed itself in his hands, and he promptly drowns himself. Hmm.
Sacry man in scary white mask with sword.
They take the broken sword to Taggart and Viv's mother so she can hold the hilt, then chuck it back into the lake because 'the quest is everything'. OK then. Though the chucking back into the lake part is genuinely nicely evocative of Arthurian myth.
And that's it. Bonekickers is finished.
This episode left an awful lot of questions unanswered. OK, we know Viv is Taggart's half-sister, produced while Taggart and her mother weren't in contact for a year, but who was her father? How did they meet? Did Taggart senior have an affair, or was she single by then? Why does Taggart think Viv was lying when it was clearly just an omission of the truth? And so on, and so forth. All the backstory they've been hinting at all series didn't really come to much, in the end, other than an excuse for Taggart to yell at Viv some more.
Also, we vaguely get the impression that Taggart senior was driven mad by the scary men's coffin-torture, but a little clarification might have been nice. And what about Taggart and AL? How can I go on with my life without knowing whether they get back together or not??!!
I have to confess, though, I enjoyed this episode more than the others. Maybe my friends are right and I just needed to watch it properly and not type at the same time. Maybe the Arthurian subject matter allowed me to let go a bit and give up on actual history, and just enjoy the ride. Maybe the gruesome murders made it a bit more interesting, Maybe all of the above. Who can say?! Actually, in all honesty, I think it's the fantasy thing. I knew that this episode was going to be pure fantasy from start to finish, so I relaxed and let it go in a way that's not possible in a story which keeps getting its preachy act on about World War One, or Iraq, or slavery. When Bonekickers starts mangling serious issues, it's problematic. When it just lets itself go on a flight of fancy, it can be quite fun.
The basic problem with the series is that they want to make something that's plausibly about archaeology, but they also want every episode to put our heroes in mortal danger, and preferably they want each episode to have some kind of social or historical moral as well – and to be about something that is still a current issue.
Now I'm all for making history exciting, and for exploring the history behind current issues. But Bonekickers' combination of over-earnestness and the need to include the danger element is disastrous for this side of things. The history of the slave trade and the long and distinguished ancient history of Iraq and Iran are important things to explore and to improve public awareness of, but attaching them to stories where people try to kill our heroes does no good whatsoever. And don't get me started on their attitude towards religion…
The other problem is that it's one thing to write a science fiction or fantasy show in which King Arthur and the Tablet of Destinies really exist and the it's somehow possible to locate the True Cross, because we all suspend disbelief and go along for the ride. If Stargate wants to pretend that the pyramids are really spaceships, then fine. But Bonekickers very carefully avoids any element of either science fiction or fantasy (with the possible exceptions of the glowing True Cross and the meteor from space that Excaliber is forged from). If the show is not SF/F, then presumably it is intended to be plausible and reasonably realistic.
There are plenty of shows that take a real job – policeman, doctor, pathologist, surgeon – and take some liberties with reality to make it seem more exciting. Most hospitals do not experience helicopter crashes as often as the one in ER does, and most rural detectives do not work on a different bizarre murder case every week. But Bonekickers just goes way too far – it's one thing to insert a bit of excitement, and quite another to insist on the reality of King Arthur and Excaliber in a supposedly realistic programme.
View from the top of Glastonbury Tor.
I suspect the main comparable thing is The Da Vinci Code, but I very deliberately haven't seen the film or read the book, partly because I can't be bothered spending time reading something that will just annoy me, and partly because I don't want to spend every social event where I have to make small talk with strangers explaining the many, many ways in which it's wrong. My big issue with it is that people think it's real – I once overheard a woman in a restaurant proclaiming loudly that it was all based on 'real historical fact' and shuddered. I doubt anyone will think Bonekickers has any relationship with reality, but it doesn't really help, and I would just enjoy something so silly much more if it threw in a few aliens or witches or something so I know where I stand.
I believe some of my friends are planning to get together and watch Bonekickers with some booze one evening. If I can possibly join them, I will, as I think that is the way to really appreciate Bonekickers. Try to take it seriously, and it's a disaster. Drink, laugh, admire the sexy men, revel in the cheesy action moments and enjoy mocking lines like 'use you archaeological imagination' and it could be a really good evening in.

NEWARK, NJ - A federal appeals court has reversed a lower court's refusal to issue a preliminary injunction against continued enforcement of New Jersey's April deadline for submitting nominating petitions submitted by alternative political party candidates for state office.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey had challenged the petition deadline on behalf of a broad coalition of voters, candidates, and alternative political parties, representing widely divergent viewpoints that span the political spectrum. The ACLU-NJ argued that the early deadline unconstitutionally restricted access to the November ballot.
Unlike Democratic and Republican candidates, who appear on the ballot by winning a primary election, New Jersey law allows independent and alternative political party candidates to appear on the general election ballot only by submitting petitions containing the signatures of the required number of registered voters.
These petitions must be submitted 54 days prior to the primary election. This year the deadline fell on April 10. State law prohibits any party that did not receive 10 percent of the vote in the last General Assembly election from conducting a primary election to nominate candidates.
The ACLU argued that the early deadline for filing ballot petitions prevents alternative political parties from responding to political developments that arise during the primary campaign, or to voter dissatisfaction with the major party candidates. The ACLU also argued that the early deadline restricts the number of candidates that alternative political parties may field, because signatures must be gathered during the coldest days of the year, when potential voters are least likely to be outside, least likely to be willing to stop to sign a petition, and when volunteer petition gatherers are least likely to be able or willing to stay outside for long periods of time.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized that state laws that unjustifiably restrict access to the ballot violate the Constitution, because they deprive citizens of an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will represent their political views," said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Lenora M. Lapidus, who argued the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third District.
"New Jersey's early filing deadline is unconstitutional because there is no reason for it," Lapidus said. "Apart from challenges to signatures, which are resolved in a matter of days, no action is taken on the petitions until August, when the Secretary of State notifies the county clerks who will appear on the ballot."
Although U.S. District Judge Mary Little Parell found that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their constitutional claims, and would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction were not issued, she denied the requested preliminary relief on the basis that an injunction would disrupt the 1997 elections.
The ACLU appealed the Judge's order, arguing that since New Jersey allows independent candidates for President and Vice-President to file their petitions until 99 days prior to the general election, applying the same deadline for candidates for state or federal office would not pose an administrative burden.
The Third Circuit's order requires the Secretary of State to accept petitions submitted by any of the named plaintiff candidates for state office, or candidates for state office from any of the named plaintiff political parties on or before July 28, 1997. Further proceedings in the district court have not yet been scheduled.
In addition to numerous voters and candidates who seek to vote for or run as alternative political party candidates, the plaintiffs include the Green Party of New Jersey, the Natural Law Party, the New Jersey Conservative Party, the New Jersey Libertarian Party, and the U.S. Taxpayers Party of New Jersey. The plaintiffs are represented by Lenora M. Lapidus and David R. Rocah of the ACLU-NJ.

Our top choice for such a plant is Amaranthus caudatus, which also goes by the name of "love-lies-bleeding," quite fitting given its attention-grabbing appearance. According to the Missouri Botanical Garden, the plant "gets its unusual common name from its tiny, blood-red, petal-less flowers that bloom in narrow, drooping, tassel-like, terminal and axillary panicles throughout the growing season." In other words, the stems are naturally floppy and covered in dense clusters of blooms. They're not always red though—the Missouri Botanical Garden goes on to point out that Amaranthus caudatus can come in other colors, like lime-green.Amaranthus caudatus came to our attention when we spotted it on the feeds of a handful of floral designers we admire. "As a florist and observer of nature, I love to find unconventional tools for my compositions," says Carolina Spencer, founder of Barcelona-based Matagalán. Amaranthus caudatus is one of them. "When everything goes up, they fall, and their beauty is just that."As Carolina Spencer demonstrates, Amaranthus caudatus commands you to stop and stare.Photo: Courtesy of MatagalánA single stem will do.Photo: Courtesy of Matagalán"I personally believe they add a unique movement to my arrangements.

Born in Missouri, Manuele moved to California while still a child, but old enough to remember and miss the rolling green hills. She spent her youth and early adulthood admiring and foraging for the indigenous plant life that surrounded her. In her early 20s, Manuele took up both gardening and hiking as hobbies and found herself combining the two passions through floral art, coming home from a hike with a sprig of mountain sage and plopping it into a jar with some lavender and roses from her garden. "I was foraging long before I even knew what the word 'foraging' meant," Manuele said. "I would bring bouquets to friends made up of my latest hiking adventure and whatever was blooming in my garden." click to enlarge

GARDEN OF EDEN Rachael Manuele (pictured) turned her passion for nature into a career with the creation of her fine art floral design company, Eden Floral.
This era in Manuele's life rolled into friends asking her to design their flower arrangements for bridal showers and weddings. Before long, friends of those friends, who had attended the showers and weddings, were contacting Manuele to seek her services. It wasn't until she began getting inquiries from people she didn't know that Manuele decided to start an official floral design company. She wound up choosing a name synonymous with paradise. "The name Eden translates my love of the natural world as it is. It's my tribute to this Earth and all that it gives to us," Manuele said.

I'll be speaking about flowers and gardening, in the context of every medium in which I have worked."Her love of all things floral started when she was young. Growing up in Missouri, she remembers playing on her grandparents' farm, in the garden and with the animals."As a little girl I played dress- up and played florist," she said. "My heart and soul is really in the outdoors and nature."Roehm, 67, started her career as a fashion designer in New York City, working for Oscar de la Renta before opening her own fashion house. But the love of nature never left her, and after 22 years she took a hiatus from the world of fashion to learn a new craft, taking an unpaid stint working at a flower shop in Paris.There, she learned the intricacies of designing perfect bouquets and floral arrangements."I kind of took a sabbatical and decided I wanted to do things I'd never had time to do before," she said.It was a whole new kind of design, but in many ways, she said, it was familiar."To me, there is no difference. Flowers and nature teach us about color, about proportion, about line texture, about composition," she said.She went on to write 13 books, combining her love of gardens, fashion and interior design.
