KSBT's Doctrinal Statement
We believe the Bible, complete with the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired Word of God, and is inerrant in the original writings. We believe the Bible is the supreme and final authority for faith and practice. (II Tim. 3:15 -17) We believe the Bible can be properly understood only by applying the principles of literal and grammatical analysis in carrying out the work of interpretation, while maintaining careful attention to the full context of any passage under consideration.
We believe there is but one living and true God, eternally existing and revealed in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the same in substance, equal in power and glory (Matt. 3:16 -17; 28:19).
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; that He is true God and true man (I Tim.2:5; 3:16).
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred physical death and spiritual death, which apart from salvation, will result in eternal separation from God in the Lake of Fire. We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and, at the age of moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed; and are totally unable to save themselves (Romans 3:23; 5:12, 18-19; II Tim. 1:19; Rev. 20:15).
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (I Cor. 15:2-4; Rom. 3:23-28).
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His bodily ascension into heaven, and in His present life and ministry there as high priest and advocate (Heb 7:25; I John 2:1).
We believe in one condition of salvation, which is biblically expressed as, "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 20:21). We believe a godly sorrow for sin and a godly life are the fruits thereof (John 1:12-13; 14:6; II Cor. 5:17). By God's grace, the true believer in Jesus Christ is given the gift of eternal life, the very life of Christ; and the believer is therefore eternally secure in his salvation (John 6:47-58, 10:28; I John 5:11-13).
We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit; that He is God: and that His ministry is to glorify Jesus Christ and reveal Him to men. His work in this age is to convict men of sin, righteousness and judgment; to regenerate, indwell and seal the believer; and set apart the child of God to a holy life (John 14:26; 16:8, 14; Acts 5:3-4).
We believe in the imminent and pre-tribulational coming of Jesus Christ from heaven for His church (John 14:2-3; I Thess. 1:10; 4:13-18; Titus 2:13). We believe in the personal and pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ with His church to the earth in order to establish and reign over His kingdom for 1000 years (Matt. 24:29-31; Rev. 19:11 – 20:4). He will sit on the throne of David and fulfill God's covenant promises to the restored nation of Israel (Gen. 12:1-3; Deut. 30:1-10; II Sam. 7:8-16)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost (John 5:28-29; I Thess. 4:17; Rev. 20:15, II Thess. 1:7-9).
We believe in the church, the body of Christ, which is composed of all believers in this age, having begun on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and ending at the Rapture. The church is properly represented in local assemblies which carry out the ministry and mission of the church. We believe in two ordinances to be administered by the local church; Baptism, the immersion of the believer in water as a testimony of one's salvation, and Communion, the serving of bread, representing Christ's broken body, and grape juice, representing Christ's shed blood, shared as a testimony of one's fellowship with the Lord, in remembrance of His death until He comes again. We believe in two local church officers, the pastor (elder/bishop) and deacons. We believe the local church is an autonomous body answerable to its head, the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 8:36-39; 13:1-4; I Cor. 11:23-26; I Tim. 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9).
We believe in both personal and ecclesiastical separation. The individual believer is to present himself a living sacrifice to God, not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of his mind (Romans 12:1-2). The church is to be separate from unbelief, apostasy and compromise (II Cor. 6:14-18; Rom. 16:17-18; II Thess. 3:6; II John 10).
Our Positional Statements
Miracles and sign gifts
We believe the sign gifts experienced in New Testament times and specifically listed in I Corinthians 12: 8-10 ceased when the canon of scripture was completed. In biblical times the use of miracles was primarily given to authenticate God's messengers and their message to unbelieving hearers. According to I Corinthians 13: 8-10, the miracles authenticating the apostolic messengers and their message would cease when the scriptures, "that which is perfect", would come. The apostolic age ended and the sign gifts faded from use by the 2nd century A.D. Hence they are not operative today. (Hebrews 2: 1-4)
We believe God has dealt with mankind through a series of dispensations wherein He has revealed the true nature of sin, the inability of man to save himself and a consistent pattern of reconciliation by grace through faith, made possible only on the basis of a substitutionary blood sacrifice. Described by various terms, the dispensations are often listed as Innocence, Conscience, Government, Promise, Law, Grace, Kingdom. Based on a literal grammatical approach to interpretation of the scriptures, Dispensationalism recognizes a clear and permanent distinction between the church and Israel, and a premillenial return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign on the earth for 1000 years.
We reject Hyper-Dispensationalism which espouses belief in a Jewish church followed by a Gentile church. We reject Progressive Dispensationalism which compromises the biblically declared distinction between Israel and the church. By applying both spiritual and literal approaches to the interpretation of scripture, the view erringly espouses existence of the kingdom as being both present and future, and concludes that Christ is now spiritually reigning on David's Throne.
Biblical Text
While there exist a variety of theories and evidential information regarding extant manuscripts of the Greek New Testament, we believe the Majority (Byzantine Text) best represents the biblical autographs. We believe the Old Testament autographs are best represented by the Hebrew Masoretic Text. KSBT uses the King James Version in all classroom and preaching sessions. (Ps. 12:6-7).
KSBT stands on the sole authority of the Scriptures for faith and practice. All doctrine must be the result of "rightly dividing the Word of Truth" and not the imposing of a preconceived theological system for the sake of systematics. Thus, we do not subscribe to the position of classical Calvinism nor Arminianism. Regarding the doctrine of Soteriology there are certain truths revealed in Scripture that are humanly incomprehensible but "those things which are revealed" we believe and teach (Deut. 29:29).
God has provided the way of salvation from sin and its ultimate consequences through the propitiation of His Son for the sins of the entire world (Jn. 3:16; I Tim. 2:5, 6; I Jn 2:2). Salvation is obtained by grace through the faith and repentance of the sinner upon the hearing of the Word of God and conviction of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 10:9, 10, 13, 17).
We reject the theology that denies the responsibility and accountability of all people before God (Ron. 2:2, 6-11; 3:19, 29), and that limits the atonement of Christ to a select minority (Jn. 3:16; I Jn. 2:2; II Pet. 2:1; I Tim. 2:6).
At the same time, and contrary to Arminian doctrine, the Scriptures clearly teach the total depravity of man (Rom. 3:10-17; Eph. 2:1-3). Furthermore, that salvation is completely the gift of God and not the result of the works of man (Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9). Every born-again Christian is eternally saved and secured by God being permanently sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (Jn. 10:27-29; Eph. 1:13, 14; 4:30).
Cultural Relativism
As Christians we find great consolation in the absoluteness of God's Word. Here we find an answer to the question found in Ezekiel 33:10, "…how should we then live?" The Lord has detailed for us His design for living in any culture. Those details come to us through the plenarily inspired, infallible, inerrant, Word of God. Yet, we live in a day when the church is giving lip service to its belief in God's Word instead of giving whole hearted allegiance to it. As a result, the core of Christianity has been splintered. The world's philosophy has infiltrated the thinking of the Church and has replaced this absoluteness with a variableness found in "cultural relativism." Without the Word of God as a mooring, the Church is drifting toward the idea that there are no moral absolutes, that no one can judge one culture over another as to its norms, for these are determined not by the God of Heaven, but by the members of its society. This now extends to sub groups within a society or culture including all divisions of Christendom. Now that the Church, even Fundamentalism, has embraced cultural relativism we find institutions and their leaders questioning the position of past generations and even attacking the stand they took against social or cultural sins of their day. This view that all beliefs, customs and ethics are relative to the individual within his own societal context, that is, that right and wrong are culturally specific, is now widely accepted. It has even resulted in a position that one cannot determine what worldliness is by definition in any culture as described by the Word of God. For example, in "The Remaking of Evangelical Theology", Gary J. Dorrien makes the point, "Evangelical interactionists such as Grenz, William Dyrness, and Charles Kraft therefore urge that the message of scripture can be understood only by beginning with our embodied life in the world, not with a doctrine of scripture, "We must begin here because we simply cannot begin anywhere else," Dyrness remarks, "that is, we cannot adopt a point of entry or standpoint that excludes our history and cultural environment."
While we agree that we as believers must be aware of the culture in which we live, being "wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" (Matt. 10:16), and we must be men who understand our times, 1 Chronicles 12:32, and being in the world, John 17:11; we are at the same time to be biblically relevant rather than culturally relevant. We do not hold to the thought that culture determines morality or socially correct norms, but only the Creator. Hence we will not be coerced by the philosophies or rudiments of the world, Colossians 2:8. We will affect the culture not by being like it, but by living the norms of God's revealed truth.
We accept the Genesis account and all other biblical references to creation literally.
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all that are therein, in six consecutive 24 hour days, as described in Genesis 1:1-2:3 and confirmed in Exodus 20:8-11.
We believe that scientific evidence supports the biblical record found in Genesis 1-11, including a young earth and worldwide flood.
We reject all theories of origins that involve evolution in any form.
We believe the doctrine of separation is rooted in the holiness of our God and His instruction for us to be holy (I Peter 1:15,16). The biblical principle of separation is understood both as from the world (I John 2:15-17), unbelievers (II Corinthians 6:11-7:1), and from brethren that compromise the truth of God's Word and work (Romans 16:17,18; II Thessalonians 3:6,14,15).
The biblical doctrine of separation will be a guiding principle to any associations, friendships or institutional development in fulfilling our goal to bring glory to God (I Corinthians 10:31).
Music Philosophy
Worship: The heartbeat behind the worldliness and the pop culture tendencies in the area of music in our churches and Bible Colleges today lies within a faulty view and understanding of who God is and how he wants us to worship Him. Worship comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word, weorthscipe, which conveys giving worth, respect, and reverence to the object of one's worship, which for the true believer is God. Worship is God's revelation about Himself to us and our response to His revelation (Jn. 9:38). He reveals about Himself to us primarily through His Word, though there are some things that we can learn about Him through creation (Ps.19:1-3). It must be understood that worship is not merely an event; it is a lifestyle. Our view of God will affect our lifestyle and our worship of Him. This includes music to which we listen (Col. 3:16) and everything else that we do. Worship is both corporate and personal. Furthermore, it is a command and not an option (Ps. 96:9).
Worship is not about what pleases man, but rather what pleases God, since the focus is on giving Him the glory due to His name in all activities of life (I Cor. 10:31). Our view of worship will certainly affect our practical theology including our musical choices in our personal and corporate worship. Worship involves obedience, humble submission, praise, prayer, and pleasure toward the object of our worship, God. In Christ's lengthiest statement on how He wants believers to worship Him, He explains that "God is spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (Jn. 4:24). Simply put, believers must worship God with their whole beings and according to His Word!
Elements of Music: There are four basic elements of music; pitch, volume, duration and distinct color. God created these basic elements, but man organizes them, takes them in proportion, and unites them together resulting into a musical composition. Music reflects the composer's view of God as well as his cultural influence and upbringing. Furthermore, one's compositional and performance styles reflect what is in the inner man (Matt. 12:34; Prov. 4:21).
Personal/Corporate Musical Choices: We believe that all music has an innate morality (i.e. good or evil) (I Sam. 16:23; II Kgs. 3:15; Exod. 32:17-19). There are two primary responses of man: the natural responses which are innate and the conditional responses which are learned with cultural influences. There are three different levels that must be considered in making personal and corporate musical choices. These three levels are: 1. Determining whether the particular piece is morally right or wrong (I Thess. 5:21) 2. Determining whether or not the piece is appropriate, which includes consideration of the intended outcome and of the given setting in that particular culture (2 Cor. 5:17; 2 Sam.6:2-7) 3. Determining whether or not a particular piece is expedient in that particular context and given situation (I Cor. 6:12; Phil. 4:5). In applying these principles, it is our desire to maintain a higher standard of holiness in order to be above reproach and not to be the cause for offense (Rom. 14).
Application in Musical Choices: Since the primary purpose of the local church ministry is to worship and please God in all things, music should be used to enhance and compliment this overall purpose rather than to detract from it. Furthermore, corporate worship in music must be emphasized while individual worship in music should be done carefully with the sole purpose of glorifying God rather than promoting self. The Bible teaches that psalms (Scripture-based songs), hymns (Theological based songs), and spiritual songs (songs of testimony) are to be used in corporate worship (Col. 3:16; Eph. 5:19). The music of each selection must reflect and draw attention to the text. The text and music of each selection should be theologically based, spiritually edifying, worshipful, and Christ-exalting (Phil. 4:8; Col. 1:15-17; Isa. 6:3-8). God clearly commands us to "learn not the way of the heathen…" (Jer. 10:2), "…to henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk…" (Eph. 4:17), and to "…be not conformed to this world…" (Rom. 12:2). This includes not using the world's music or any of its performance or music styles in our worship (I Pet. 1:15-16; II Cor. 6:17). Because of this, we abstain from using the music of and musical styles from our current popular culture (I Jn. 2:15). God's Word must be the believer's final authority in their musical choices regardless of a popularity of certain individuals or groups (Jn. 4:24). Believers should use great discernment in their musical selections and must examine each piece's content and association carefully with Scripture (I Thess. 5:21).

Following an accusation by president Trump that Google was "rigging" search results against him, providing as evidence a "Trump News" search which showed predominantly "left" media publications popping up in the search results...
... Google has responded.
As a reminder, first thing this morning, Trump tweeted that "Google search results for 'Trump News' shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD, Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal," Trump said in his latest claim of bias by the media. 96% of results on "Trump News" are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous."

Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2018
Following Trump's tweet, his chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow told reporters outside of the White House this morning that the administration is "taking a look" at whether Google searches should be subject to government regulation.
Google has now responded, claiming that the company doesn't "bias" its results toward any political ideology and that "search is not used to set a political agenda." Google also hedged by saying that it periodically issues "hundreds of improvements to our algorithms" to ensure they surface "high-quality content in response to users' queries." It was unclear if Google considers only liberal websites as "high quality content."
Google's full response is below:
"Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology"
"Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users' queries. We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment"
However, one can't help but be skeptical considering that just before the 2016 presidential election, among the many leaks published by Wikileaks as part of its Podesta email campaign was Google's "strategic plan" to help democrats win the election and track voters.

It is unlikely that Trump will be satisfied with Google's sincere response.

Indeed there's even a specific rejection of Jersey Boys, whose film adaptation came out this same weekend (and which Think Like a Man Too crushed at the box office.) Little do Cedric and company know that their own movie will stop cold for a highly choreographed music break — a genuine slam-the-breaks stopper that left preview audiences howling.
The guys and the girls split up for twin bachelor/bachelorette parties. Hijinks and shenanigans ensue — at the pool, at the swanky restaurants and eventually at the strip clubs and Clark County jail. At one point the men (well, mostly the lead tornado of comedy Kevin Hart) realizes he needs to make some money fast, so he heads to the blackjack table. That's where he goes head-to-head with Randy the Dealer, the virtually wordless and steely eyed George Wallace, shot like a villain from a Sergio Leone picture. As the pair glare at one another and the cards are cut, the sequence checks in with what's going on with the ladies.
And those ladies include Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson and Wendi McLendon-Covey. They all (except for Henson) have been slipped marijuana breath mints (just go with it) and when they roll up to the club they are feeling the beat. When the DJ calls out "we're gonna bring you back to the 90s!" it takes 0.000001 seconds for anyone over a certain age to recognize the beat of Bell Biv Devoe.
All the interpersonal drama between the ladies (and it's five different ladies with relationship woes, so there's lots to yap about) is put on ice for a few minutes as the movie shatters reality for a slickly cut music video. The women all look beautiful — and token white girl McLendon-Covey gets extra laughs as this is the first time we see her out of her glasses and twinset, and strutting confidently in a skin tight red dress. Well, minus a few high heel wobbles.
Just the other day a short extract from this sequence made it online. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was just a promo made especially for the Web. But, no, these are actually moments ripped straight from the film, where it brazenly leaves its story behind for a few moments of fun.
The clip even includes the "music video credit" that's seen in the movie. (Again, a throwback — there are still videos?) Does director Tim Story go by Tim Steezy to his friends? If anyone has his number please let me know.
But what you don't see in this short clip — in addition to more of the gals cuttin' up and acting silly with one another — is the slice and dice with Hart and Wallace at the gaming table. When the two sequences are cut back to back it really does build to some high stakes comedy, and concludes as one of the most crowdpleasing scenes of the summer.

Google's policy forcing its employees to resolve grievances with the company in private arbitration, rather than in the public courts, could be about to come back and bite it.
That's because Google's self-driving car spinoff Waymo is in a high-stakes legal battle involving one of its former engineers and the arch-competitor he now works for — Uber.
Uber is trying to keep the case from ever going to a jury trial, and its main justification is the mandatory arbitration clause in Google's employment contract.
The judge in the case appears to be relishing the rich irony of the situation, telling the lawyers representing Google's spinout during a court hearing on Thursday that it would be "poetic justice" if the litigation wound up in private arbitration.
Arbitration clauses are increasingly common in everything from bank and credit card contracts to employment agreements, and Google is hardly alone in using them.
Big companies in particular like private arbitration because it lets them resolve sensitive disputes with employees, about anything from sexual harassment to stealing confidential information, outside of the public's eye. Some legal experts also believe that arbitration forums tend to favour corporations over employees.
Behind closed doors
As it turns out Google, has itself actually brought a separate case in arbitration against the very same former employee at the center of the current Uber dispute. Anthony Levandowski, the former Google engineer who joined Uber, is currently in arbitration with Google for allegedly trying to poach employees.
But Google spinout Waymo would prefer that its latest legal action, alleging that Levandowski stole 14,000 files before he left the company, go to a jury.
That's not flying with Uber, which insists that closed-door arbitration is required because the case directly concerns Levandowski's actions while at Google.
"Waymo doesn't get to pretend these contracts don't exist in order to avoid arbitration," said Uber's attorney, Hamish Hume. "Waymo chose to have a contract, that talks about information, about inventions, and about who owns what."
Uber's lawyers have argued that Google has made its arbitration agreement overly broad when it says they have to arbitrate disputes with anyone as it relates to an individual's employment. Waymo's lawyer, Charles Verhoeven, tried to clarify that "anyone" meant "any Google employee", but Judge Alsup was quick to shut that argument down with a slap on the wrist for all companies.
"You're suddenly scrambling"
"See, here's what happens with these big companies. Your company wanted to force everyone into arbitration, and sets the broadest arbitration agreements it can," Judge William Alsup said during Thursday's court hearing. "… You're suddenly scrambling."
While any disputes between Waymo and Levandowski would have to be bound by the employment contract, Waymo did not sue Levandowski directly; rather, it sued Uber and the companies founded by Levandowski that were acquired by Uber, including Otto. Now the judge has to decide whether the overly-broad arbitration agreement covers this case since Levandowski's actions are intrinsically tied to the case.
"Google and Waymo have an arbitration agreement with Mr. Levandowski such that if Mr. Levandowski wanted to bring a claim against some third party, arising out of his employment, he would have to bring it in arbitration," Alsup said. "Wouldn't there be poetic justice at a minimum to say Waymo has to do the same thing? that it's reciprocal?"
While it could be poetic justice, Alsup's question was largely hypothetical and the federal judge has not decided whether the complaints about trade secrets and intellectual property theft will go to arbitration.
"We believe Uber should not be permitted to avoid the jurisdiction of the court and move this case to a private arbitration. We respectfully wait for the court's views on this important issue," a Waymo spokesperson said after the hearing.
Regardless of Alsup's decision, the claims of patent infringement would move forward since they don't involve Levandowski's actions. But having that arbitration agreement, a common clause in so many contracts, could mean that the most controversial claims in the high-stakes case could be resolved in secret.

With a major snowstorm heading our way, Metra's BNSF Line to Aurora will operate on an alternative schedule Friday to minimize the potential for weather-related service disruptions. Metra also is mobilizing its crews and snow-fighting resources to make sure Friday's morning and evening commutes are as safe, comfortable and reliable as possible.
"We will be doing everything we can to prepare for and combat this major winter storm," said Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski. "We will also do everything we can to make sure our customers are up to date with the latest information about their trains."
Metra's busiest line, the BNSF Line, will use an alternative service schedule Friday that reduces the number of trains overall on the BNSF Line to 84 from 94. The schedule should provide adequate service while allowing BNSF to minimize switching moves that are often the cause of delays during heavy snow and ice conditions. The alternative schedule for the BNSF Line can be found here.
Customers are advised to give themselves plenty of time to travel to their stations, park and walk to the boarding platform. They should also expect delays; in addition to the possibility of weather-related issues, more customers are likely to use Metra trains when the weather is severe, and the addition of customers unfamiliar with our system can increase boarding time and cause trains to fall behind schedule.
Customers are also advised that the forecast calls for continuing snow overnight Thursday through Friday evening's rush hour. Metra is dispatching about 350 workers overnight Thursday to shovel and salt platforms and other areas that are Metra's responsibility to clear, but we do not have a separate crew for every station. We will make every effort to clear every station, but if the snow continues as expected, it will accumulate again after being cleared the first time, and it is likely that some station areas and platforms may not be completely clear when customers arrive.
As we do with other storms of this size, Metra has taken and will take a variety of steps to combat the snow and ice. Those include:
- Dispatching Metra signal/switch maintainers to key locations and staffing them 24/7. The switches must remain free of snow and ice, and while all mainline switches have heaters to help keep them clear, sometimes the snow and ice falls too fast or falls from a passing train and the switches need to be cleared manually with brooms, shovels or picks.
- Putting extra mechanics in the field to quickly address mechanical issues.
- Fueling our locomotives in outlying rail yards overnight. Fueling is normally done as part of the midday servicing routine. But, because the locomotives must be disconnected from their cars to be fueled, fueling them during winter storm conditions can take longer and cause yard congestion and train delays. We'll fuel them Thursday night to help with operations Friday.
- Leaving our engines on overnight. Locomotives don't like the cold any more than we do. If it's too cold we keep the engines on so they are ready when we need them.
- Putting crews and equipment in place to keep our 24 rail yards clear and operational. Bottlenecks in yards can result in delays getting trains in place for timely departures. Metra uses high-powered hot-air jet blowers and cold-air blowers in the yards to clear the snow and prevent blowing and drifting. Metra has also installed heaters on more than 40 of our most critical yard switches.
- Using about 45 snow plows to clear snow, not counting the equipment used by our parking vendor and the numerous municipalities responsible for clearing parking lots and other areas around most of our suburban stations.
Customer communications
Metra understands the importance of providing reliable, real-time communications to help our customers make decisions about their travel options during severe weather and offers a number of tools to give them access to the most up-to-date service information. Those include:
- Email alerts – Customers can sign up to receive service alerts via email for a specific rail line during the times of day that are most important to them. To sign up, visit metrarail.com to create an account.
- Ventra App – Customers can download the app and use the Transit Tracker for information about Metra trains, Pace buses and CTA trains and buses. The free app is available in the App Store or Google Play.
- Twitter – Customers can visit twitter.com to follow each of Metra's 11 rail lines or receive more general information about agency operations.
- Passenger Services – Customers can call 312-322-6777 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with questions about train schedules and service.
Tips for traveling on Metra during winter weather:
- Visit the National Weather Service website for the latest weather forecast and storm-related information.
- Watch local television and listen to local radio stations for Metra travel and service updates.
- Use caution when walking on wet or icy station platforms.
- If you are already traveling, listen for announcements at stations and on trains.

The Best Way to Pay Less Interest on a 30-Year Conventional Mortgage
The full payment on a 30-year mortgage will result in you paying more in interest than for the cost of the home. A mortgage with a 6.5 percent interest rate will result in interest payments of almost 1.3 times the original mortgage amount. This means that if you pay every payment on a $300,000 mortgage, the total payment will be over $680,000. Reducing the mortgage interest paid can result in thousands of dollars in savings.
Refinance for a Lower Rate
If the currently available rates for mortgages are significantly less than your current rate, a refinance to a new lower rate can save a significant amount of interest. Using our $300,000 example, if the rate is lowered from 6.5 percent to 5.5 percent, the total amount of interest paid on the mortgage drops by almost $70,000. The monthly payment on this mortgage also declines by $190. This option works best if your mortgage is fairly new and rates have dropped quickly. If you have been paying on your mortgage for 5 years and then refinance, you will extend the time to pay off your home by 5 years if you get another 30-year mortgage.
Refinance for a Different Term
A 30-year mortgage is not the only option to finance a home. Mortgages with 15-year terms are widely available, and the interest rates are lower than for 30-year loans. The amount of interest paid on a 15-year mortgage is significantly less than on a 30-year loan. For a $300,000 mortgage at 6 percent, the total amount of interest paid drops from $347,500 to $155,700, a savings of over $190,000. The principal and interest payment of the 15-year loan is $2,531 compared to $1,798 for the 30-year mortgage.
Extra Principal Payments
If your mortgage is at a good rate and the loan has no prepayment penalties, the easiest solution is to make extra principal payments with your regular mortgage payment. The interest due on each mortgage payment is based on the current loan balance. If you reduce the loan balance by making extra principal payments, you can reduce the total interest paid. Adding $500 per month to the 6 percent, $300,000, 30-year mortgage saves $160,000 in interest. The time to pay off the mortgage is also reduced by more than 12 years. You can add as little or as much as you like to your mortgage payment as extra principal.

A significant number of Black voters could challenge Trump's re-election aspirations in 2020, a new bipartisan report revealed.
Trump's shocking 2016 election upset knocked the wind out of plenty of folks, decimated their belief in the U.S. political system and pretty much changed life as many people know it. However, changes in the U.S. electorate, specifically regarding demographics, may push political karma to the side of Democrats, who tend to be favored by voter segments comprised of people of color.
An increase in the number of eligible Black voters may set the stage for a Trump loss in 2020, according to The States Of Change report, which was authored by several groups including the Center for American Progress and the Bipartisan Policy Center. Here's how Black voters could challenge Trump:
Pay Attention To Demographics Changes
Voting blocks — including African-Americans, Latinos and Asians — will have more of a share of the total eligible vote by 2020. The groups will grow one percentage point, with Blacks going from 12 percent in 2016 to 13 in 2020, the report revealed.
As the voter segments expand, the percentage of eligible "White without a college degree" voters will drop by 2 points, from 46 percent to 44. Trump was largely reliant on that voting group in 2016.
Help Push Turnout And Support
There is still an overwhelmingly White majority of eligible voters, but changes in turnout and support among Black voters in 2020 could put Trump at a disadvantage.
Black turnout and the Democrats' margin of support with African Americans have both dropped by a significant amount in 2016 when Trump was elected, NBC News reported. If more Black Americans voted, especially with the fight to restore voting rights to ex-felons going on in states across the nation, the election results could be different.
Educate Others On Trump
Trump has proven to be a divisive figure, and his current approval ratings are low, according to NBC. How those substandard ratings could influence the election may be hard to determine now, but as 2020 gets closer, it will likely be easier to see what effect the numbers may have on the race.

This is SO much more than standing & swaying - it's full professional lessons on everything from how to hold your partner to how to do dips & tricks and everything in between. If you're going to be dancing in front of others and there are cameras there, you don't want to overlook this set. Shawn reccomends learning the DVDs in the following order to achieve maximum results in minimum time:
This set of wedding dance lesson videos is perfect for beginners of any age. Don't wait till the last minute, order today and create the best memories possible on the most important day of your lives!
"What drew me to buy Swing Dancing 101 were a few things. First, the website is very user friendly and full of info. So it was easy to make a choice. I am a true beginner at dancing, and this swing dance video helped me A LOT. There is plenty of detailed information about every little thing, starting with rhythm & timing. I was really struggling with that before (sigh), but now it makes sense to me! It's a well made video with good picture quality, which is important to me. Another thing I liked is that you can tell the pair dancing are having fun and enjoying doing these lessons. It kept me entertained and interested. So it is easy to watch and stay focused. I am looking forward to watching it again, probably a few more times, to soak up all the fine points. I look forward to getting out on the town with these skills."
"I cannot believe how much fun swing dancing is and wish we had learned it years ago. Shawn and Joanna did an excellent job of getting us dancing and laughing as this swing dance video was both instructional and fun. The fact that their 101 videos all have the same format is making this very easy for us as we know what we can expect. There is a lot that can be said about this video but I can sum it up by saying "Love it, Love it, Love it!"
"This is a wonderful DVD for learning how to line dance. Coming from a person that has never line danced before, I was thrilled to get instructions from a "real" dancer who can convey the steps and practice all in one DVD. Shawn Trautman is a great instructor and coach for a variety of line dances. In addition to wanting to learn more line dances, practicing with this particular DVD has made me want to own all of his dance videos."
"Basic and fun! I work at a School for Children and Adults with Severe Disabilities. We are constantly looking for new dance steps for our PE class. I ordered the DVD for one of our staff. She is using it to learn and then teach the steps to the students. We feel the instruction is basic enough for our students and fun for the staff."
"One of the first Dance videos I have bought from Shawn Trautman. The video is easy to understand and follow along. He has a way of presenting dance instruction that puts a person at ease. Shawn and his wife seemed to love dancing and doing dance instruction. I am impressed and I am learning the Waltz. Another great thing about Shawn is I emailed him about a question on foot work with the waltz. He answered my email right a way. Of course I didn't explain it well and it took a few more emails to explain my self better. Mr. Trautman treated me with great respect and tried the move with his wife on a Friday evening at his dinner time. That is first class professionalism and the guy really cares about his customers. I would recommend anyone wanting to learn any type of dance to give Shawn's dance videos a try. You won't be sorry..."
"I am a beginner. Bought this DVD recently after checking the reviews of many dance instruction DVDs. I found it to be very thorough and well structured so that I could learn at my own pace without rushing. Very well made."
"Always wished I could dance, never took the time to learn... missed a lot! Wish I'd started earlier, appreicate the quality and breakdown of your instruction. Was enjoying a dance class at our local college, but conflicted with my work schedule, and unlike your dvds I could not always say wait I need to see that again. I do wish you were local, you have an obvious love of dance, and it would be great to take a class from the two of you. Thanks. PS - The breakdown of the steps is what I liked most. Bought both the Slow Dancing for Beginners DVD and Dance Lessons 101."
"Just what we were looking for to prepare for our daughter's wedding. We haven't ever danced before. The style of the instruction works for us."

Bipolar Disorder
What Bipolar Disorder Looks Like in Children
Learn the most common symptoms of bipolar disorder in children, as well as warning signs that may present at home and at school.
Before the 1990s, it was widely believed that only adults could have bipolar disorder. Doctors asserted that children couldn't experience the dramatic mood swings of mania and depression; any symptoms they did demonstrate were usually credited to another condition, or deemed the product of normal child development.
However, epidemiological studies conducted in 1990 and beyond started to indicate that many adults with bipolar disorder — in some cases, up to 20 percent — were already showing symptoms in childhood. Suddenly, the condition that was once assumed nonexistent in children was found to be much more common than anyone would have guessed. Training on pediatric bipolar disorder still lags behind other conditions and the diagnosis is still controversial, but the facts remain — some children show symptoms of the disorder as early as age 6, and approximately 0.5 percent of children in the U.S. are thought to be living with pediatric bipolar disorder. Having a child with bipolar disorder can be heart-wrenching for parents, who often struggle to understand and cope with the intense rages and deep depressions that can overtake their child for seemingly no reason. And even after a diagnosis is made, families aren't "out of the woods" for quite some time — many parents agonize about putting their child on the strong medications necessary to treat bipolar disorder; and even after they do, some symptoms may still remain.
However torturous pediatric bipolar disorder is for parents, it is often more traumatic for the children themselves, who grow up feeling "bad"; sometimes, a child with undiagnosed bipolar disorder will make dangerous choices or hurt herself. If you suspect your child is cycling between mania and depression, don't hesitate to bring it up to your doctor — she'll be able to either put your mind at ease or provide you with a diagnosis and set up a treatment plan that can help your child live a normal, happy life.
[Self-Test: Does My Child Have Bipolar Disorder?]
Symptoms of Pediatric Bipolar at Home
Part of the controversy surrounding pediatric bipolar disorder is that many of the diagnostic criteria were designed with adults in mind. What, many experts wonder, does bipolar disorder actually look like in a child? Every child's symptoms are different, but during a manic phase, you may see signs like:
- Acts hyper, exuberantly happy, or incredibly silly, in a way that is unusual for his normal personality or inappropriate for children his age; your teen may be unable to go 10 minutes without dissolving into a fit of giggles, for instance
- Talks so quickly that you can't understand her, or switches topics mid-sentence (seemingly without noticing)
- Gets "hyperfocused" on a single subject or project that seems to come out of nowhere
- Gets extremely upset when obstacles arise or he is told "no"; demands you buy him multiple toys, for instance, and becomes combative when you don't comply
- Highly imaginative; comes up with complex storylines for his toys and acts them out excitedly
- Becomes angry quickly and violently over small slights; throws her books around the room because you answered the phone while she was talking, for instance
- Doesn't seem to feel tired, and is uninterested in napping, resting, or going to bed at night; gets up frequently during the night
- Becomes preoccupied with sex or sexual thoughts; talks about sex at inappropriate times
- Acts on sexual desires in public, dangerous, or age-inappropriate ways; masturbates excessively or engages in risky sex at a young age
- May see or hear things that aren't there
[10 Myths (and Truths) About Bipolar Disorder]
During a depressive phase, you might see symptoms like:
- Feels very sad; might be unusually weepy
- Complains about stomachaches and headaches frequently; often asks to miss school because of the pain
- Sleeps too much; parents are unable to rouse a teen from bed before 2 PM on a weekend, for example — no matter what she has planned
- Eats too little or too much; might gain or lose weight very rapidly
- Little interest in regular activities; says he doesn't want to go to soccer practice three days in a row, for example
- Talks about being a "bad" child, or wonders aloud if everyone hates her
- Preoccupied with death; talks about suicide or, for very young children, how it would be better for everyone if he "went away forever" or "was never born"
Symptoms of Pediatric Bipolar at School
Bipolar disorder will sometimes look a little different at school, where your child is around peers and adults to whom she is not related. During a manic phase, symptoms at school might include:
- Appears at times to be a "social butterfly"; makes new friends easily and charms adults with a "precocious" personality
- At other times, becomes overly bossy with friends; gets irrationally upset over slight disagreements or friends not taking orders
- Disobeys teachers and other authority figures; acts "out of control" and excessively hyperactive
- Behaves inappropriately — removes clothing in the classroom or sings loudly during the Pledge of Allegiance, for example
- Unable to sleep during naptime or settle down to quietly read
- Unable to make transitions; becomes upset or violent when unwelcome change occurs
- Difficulty focusing on schoolwork; often seems unable to sit still
- Jumps between acting "goofy" — even when other students aren't playing along — to angry and aggressive, often with seemingly no provocation
- Acts in ways that are dangerously impulsive; throws himself off the jungle gym, climbs the highest tree, or tries to "escape" from school, for instance
[Watch Out! Doctors Mistake Bipolar Disorder for ADHD]
During a depressive phase, you might see signs at school like:
- Uninterested in friends or regular playtime activities; may sit alone during recess instead of joining in the fun
- May become suddenly antisocial or develop a fear of classmates; suddenly starts clinging to parent's leg when being dropped off, for instance
- Believes that nobody likes him
- Complains about aches and pains to the teacher frequently; often asks to be excused to the nurse's office or picked up by a parent
- Becomes fixated on death, often bringing it up to other students or to the teacher
- Unable to focus on schoolwork; often seems "zoned out"
It's important to remember that, for most children, the cycling between mania and depression occurs at a much more rapid pace than it would for adults. While it's common for cycles to happen over the course of weeks, months, or years for adults, in extreme cases, your child may cycle between these different symptoms several times in one day.

Taucharts One
Can you think of a charting library that looks fresh, has a simple API, and offers high performance? I can think of one: Taucharts One. The latest stable release (v.1.2.2) can be downloaded via npm.
Let's see what this new release comes with.
Bar as span (Timeline) plugin
Timeline charts are suitable for visualizing teams' progress.
const chart = new tauCharts.Chart({ type: 'horizontal-bar', x: 'end', y: ['country', 'team'], color: 'team', label: 'team', plugins: [ Taucharts.api.plugins.get('bar-as-span')({ x0: 'start', collapse: true }) ]), data: [ {start: '2015-02-29', end: '2015-03-09', team: 'Real', country: 'Spain'}, ... ] });
Crosshair plugin
It is now possible to highlight element values on axes.
const chart = new tauCharts.Chart({ ... plugins: [ Taucharts.api.plugins.get('crosshair')() ]) });
Legend plugin improvements
You can now focus on a single element or toggle multiple elements by clicking on the relevant color icons. Size and color gradient legends are now aligned horizontally to reduce the amount of space they consume. Highlighted elements will float over others.
Tooltip plugin improvements
Highlighting elements on a chart has never been so fast and simple. It is also possible to highlight points that overlap each other. Clicking on an element will reveal additional options in a tooltip.
Sparkline mode
If chart size is too small or tick density is too high, then it's better to hide the chart's axes and grid.
const chart = new tauCharts.Chart({ ... settings: { // Axes are hidden when chart content // size is lower than these values minChartWidth: 300, minChartHeight: 200, minFacetWidth: 150, minFacetHeight: 100, } });
Line chart improvements
Line charts that are encoded by size will now look more consistent by preserving the width between their points.
tauCharts.api.tickFormat.add('bugs-format', (x) => `${x} bugs`); const chart = new tauCharts.Chart({ type: 'line', x: 'Date', y: 'Effort', size: 'Bugs Count', // Setup line size label: 'Bugs Count', color: 'Team', guide: { interpolate: 'smooth-keep-extremum', showGridLines: 'y', label: { tickFormat: 'bugs-format' } }, plugins: [ tauCharts.api.plugins.get('legend')(), tauCharts.api.plugins.get('quick-filter')(), tauCharts.api.plugins.get('tooltip')() ], settings: { utcTime: true }, data: [ { 'Date': new Date('2015-07-01T00:00:00.000Z'), 'Effort': 20, 'Bugs Count': 4, 'Team': 'Alaska' }, ... ] });
Non-blocking rendering
Loading large amounts of data can be slow. To prevent your browser from lagging, several new chart settings have been introduced.
settings: { asyncRendering: false, renderingTimeout: 10000, syncRenderingInterval: 50, handleRenderingErrors: true }
asyncRendering: true will make your chart render asynchronously in small synchronous chunks. This has the benefit of making your browser more responsive to user interactions. Read more about asynchronous rendering here.
TypeScript type definition
Underscore dependency removal
Thanks Juanjo Diaz for replacing Underscore with modern native JavaScript features.
And even more
There's countless additional improvements and bug fixes. You can see the whole list here. Some notable changes are:
- UTC time scale, periods and formats (
settings.utcTime: true|false).
- Show line and area points (
guide.showAnchors: 'always'|'hover'|'never').
- Smooth line and area interpolation, that doesn't exceed data points (
guide.interpolate: 'smooth-keep-extremum'|'smooth'|'linear'|'step'|'step-before'|'step-after').
- Lowercase package name for CommonJS and AMD (
Taucharts 2
Taucharts v2 will be released soon. It uses D3 v4 modules and will bring new features and improvements.

Freedom's Ring by Heidi Chiavaroli
Boston — 2015
Although two years have passed since the Boston Marathon bombing, Annie David continues to be haunted by the call to be Boston Strong. She knows the truth: she is far from strong. She cannot seem to release two burdens left to her that tragic day—guilt over a crippled niece, and an old ring that evokes a hazy hero's face. But when she finds a business card with the same emblem as the ring, she's finally able to discover her hero…and the story of the woman behind the ring.
Boston — 1770
As a single woman in a rebellious town, Liberty Caldwell finds herself in a dangerous predicament. When tensions mount in the form of the Boston Massacre, her world is shattered as her brother, with whom she has just reunited, is killed in the fray. Overcome with anger at all redcoats, she plans to leave her employment at the British Officers' Home. But upon her return she is attacked by the roguish captain when Lieutenant Alexander Smythe isn't there to rescue her. In her fury she leaves the home with all of her belongings and a ring that belonged to her dear Alexander. Suddenly her attraction to him is tarnished by the uniform he wears.
The Boston Massacre sparked the American Revolution; the Boston Marathon bombing set a city on edge. Both became the proof of where true strength lies.

Fractal Geometry, Complex Dimensions and Zeta Functions
Geometry and Spectra of Fractal Strings
- Citations

Part of the Springer Monographs in Mathematics book series (SMM)
Part of the Springer Monographs in Mathematics book series (SMM)
Number theory, spectral geometry, and fractal geometry are interlinked in this in-depth study of the vibrations of fractal strings, that is, one-dimensional drums with fractal boundary.
Key Features
The Riemann hypothesis is given a natural geometric reformulation in the context of vibrating fractal strings
Complex dimensions of a fractal string, defined as the poles of an associated zeta function, are studied in detail, then used to understand the oscillations intrinsic to the corresponding fractal geometries and frequency spectra
Explicit formulas are extended to apply to the geometric, spectral, and dynamical zeta functions associated with a fractal
Examples of such explicit formulas include a Prime Orbit Theorem with error term for self-similar flows, and a geometric tube formula
The method of Diophantine approximation is used to study self-similar strings and flows
Analytical and geometric methods are used to obtain new results about the vertical distribution of zeros of number-theoretic and other zeta functions
Throughout new results are examined. The final chapter gives a new definition of fractality as the presence of nonreal complex dimensions with positive real parts, and discusses several open problems and extensions.
The significant studies and problems illuminated in this work may be used in a classroom setting at the graduate level. Fractal Geometry, Complex Dimensions and Zeta Functions will appeal to students and researchers in number theory, fractal geometry, dynamical systems, spectral geometry, and mathematical physics.
From Reviews of Fractal Geometry and Number Theory: Complex Dimensions of Fractal Strings and Zeros of Zeta Functions, by Michel Lapidus and Machiel van Frankenhuysen, Birkhäuser Boston Inc., 2000.
"This highly original self-contained book will appeal to geometers, fractalists, mathematical physicists and number theorists, as well as to graduate students in these fields and others interested in gaining insight into these rich areas either for its own sake or with a view to applications. They will find it a stimulating guide, well written in a clear and pleasant style."
–Mathematical Reviews
"It is the reviewer's opinion that the authors have succeeded in showing that the complex dimensions provide a very natural and unifying mathematical framework for investigating the oscillations in the geometry and the spectrum of a fractal string. The book is well written. The exposition is self-contained, intelligent and well paced."
–Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society

Howard pointed out how Trump supporters who lament the "mainstream media's lies" conveniently forget that the president-elect spent years promoting fraudulent conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birth certificate.

This is the fundamental & primary role that the manager has to play.The study of the External Factors:: The study of the External Factors: What is the outlook for the national economy? Where are the market and customer opportunities likely to expand or contract most rapidly? What about population shifts and the resultant ups and downs in regional purchasing power ?PowerPoint Presentation: Will overseas markets expand or contract, and how will new foreign government legislation's affect operation of the overseas plants? Is competition likely to increase or decrease?PowerPoint Presentation: This enables management to chalk out more wisely the scope and direction of their own business plans and to determine the timing of their specific actions. And it is these questions which present some of the areas where a managerial economist can make effective contribution.Studying Internal factors:: Studying Internal factors: Internal factors these are the factors affecting management decision over which management has some control. These factors lie within scope and operation of firm-such as determination of price policy, decision of contraction or expansion of business activities, determination of wage policy.PowerPoint Presentation: What should be the sales budget for next year? What should be the policy regarding inventory next year? What should be the production schedule? What changes should be introduced in pricing policy of enterprise during next year? While atmosphere of business uncertainty creates complications in the process of decision making, economic principles help in minimizing these uncertainty. economist can help by analyzing these economic principlesIn a nut shell: In a nut shell He studies the economic patterns at macro-level and analysis it's significance to the specific firm he is working in. He has to consistently examine the probabilities of transforming an ever-changing economic environment into profitable business avenues. He assists the business planning process of a firm. He also carries cost-benefit analysis.PowerPoint Presentation: He assists the management in the decisions pertaining to internal functioning of a firm. In addition, a managerial economist has to analyze changes in macro- economic indicators such as national income, population, business cycles, and their possible effect on the firm's functioning. He is also involved in advising the management on public relations, foreign exchange, and trade. He guides the firm on the likely impact of changes in monetary and fiscal policy on the firm's functioning .PowerPoint Presentation: He also makes an economic analysis of the firms in competition. He has to collect economic data and examine all crucial information about the environment in which the firm operates. The most significant function of a managerial economist is to conduct a detailed research on industrial market. He also provides management with economic information such as tax rates, competitor's price and product, etc. They give their valuable advice to government authorities as well .
