CRESTVIEW � Full Gospel Tabernacle Church�s congregation is accepting donations following a June 12 fire that consumed its place of worship.
CRESTVIEW � Full Gospel Tabernacle Church�s congregation is accepting donations following a June 12 fire that consumed its place of worship.
The Florida State Fire Marshal's office has confirmed that an accidental electrical fire claimed the fully insured 8th Avenue building. The Rev. Steve Bolton and church members await more information from an insurance claims adjuster.
In the meantime, others in north Okaloosa County�s faith community have stepped up to help.
"Our pastor has received numerous phone calls from local churches and pastors wanting to help out in any way they can," Janet Lundy, the church's secretary, said.
One individual who wished to remain anonymous donated a $500 check to the church, she said.
Joyce Nichols, a part-time employee at Gospel Lighthouse in Crestview, said that, with the storeowner�s permission, she placed a donation jar near the store's checkout counter.
She was inspired to do so after Bolton stopped by the store to purchase a Bible to replace one that the fire destroyed.
"He came in and we prayed," Nichols said. "I felt the Lord was leading me to help them in some way."
Others can donate to an account set up at First National Bank of Crestview. Contributions will fund upkeep of the church's temporary place of worship, 401 E. Robinson Ave., where Healing Stream Ministries Church meets. The building will receive a sound system upgrade and connection to Crestview�s sewer service, which is necessary due to the facility�s increase use, Bolton said.
Want to donate?
Visit Gospel Lighthouse, 1051 S. Ferdon Blvd., or all three First National Bank of Crestview locations to support Full Gospel Tabernacle Church�s recovery efforts. Click here for bank locations and business hours.

Binghamton University: Social Work Student Expelled
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Binghamton University, State University of New York
Binghamton University graduate student Michael Gutsell was expelled by the Department of Social Work following two incidents where his classroom speech drew complaints from fellow students. Despite the fact that the speech was relevant to the class and broke no university or department rules, the hearing panel recommended his dismissal. After appealing the decision, however, Gutsell learned that these two incidents were "not the primary basis" for his expulsion, and that BU may have determined that he was unfit for social work because he was not conforming to others' subjective expectations about individuals' proper conversational style, even outside of the professional context. The appeals panel upheld his expulsion without explaining to Gutsell what other factors it may have considered or giving him an opportunity to defend himself against them. Notably, the department had forced Gutsell to sign a contract earlier in the semester, one of the conditions of which was that the department could never hear that he had made any fellow students or instructors "uncomfortable." Gutsell has had to leave the United States and return to his native Canada as a result of his expulsion. Binghamton did not respond to FIRE's letter detailing our concerns and asking the university to respect Gutsell's rights.

Civil-rights organization highlights universities that are 'unrepentant' violators by Bob Unruh WorldNetDaily A permanent blemish on a student's record for a parody, an attempted expulsion for criticism of a "social injustice" and the formal censorship of a political satire: All of these actions have earned American colleges and universities a citation in a full-page ad in U.S. News & World Report's 2011 edition of its "Best Colleges" issue. The ad warns parents and students to "think twice" about considering attending the schools. The ad was taken out by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which highlighted Bucknell University, […]» Read More

February 1, 2011
By now, I hope you've had a chance to read our list of the "12 Worst Colleges for Free Speech," which we highlighted on The Huffington Post last week. Our "Dirty Dozen"—which is made up of the six colleges and universities on our Red Alert list, as well as six other institutions that have shown a profound disregard for free speech rights over the years—has quickly generated a good deal of attention and response. Peter explained on Friday why DePaul University was one of the schools outside of our Red Alert list to be selected for this dubious distinction. Today, […]» Read More
Binghamton's Social Work Department Strikes Again, Expelling Student Without Feeling the Need to Tell Him Why
February 9, 2010
A year after The Torch was so populated with eye-popping accounts of Binghamton University's (BU's) attempts to force graduate student Andre Massena out of its Masters of Social Work (MSW) program, the student newspaper the Binghamton Review lays bare the case of another MSW student, Michael Gutsell, caught in the crosswinds of the Department of Social Work's vague and unforgiving disciplinary system. Unfortunately, despite FIRE's appeals to the BU administration to apply basic fairness and respect for students' First Amendment rights to his case, Gutsell was expelled from the MSW program without knowing why, much less having a chance to […]» Read More

"Without Warning" (Minotaur), by David Rosenfelt
A hurricane and the collapse of a dam start a cascade of terrible events in "Without Warning," David Rosenfelt's latest twisted thriller.
Police Chief Jake Robbins, who has a tumultuous relationship with the press, is forced to work with newspaper editor Katie Sanford. They dated in high school, but married other people.
Jake's wife, Jenny, was murdered by Katie's husband, Roger, shortly after the news of their affair broke. Roger, who was found guilty, was killed in prison. Since then, Katie and Jake only speak to each other when it's absolutely necessary.
The flood from the collapsed dam unearths a time capsule that contains a set of predictions, including Jenny's murder. Jake and Katie must put aside their differences and work together to stop a killer.
The compelling story line and characters drive this head-scratching mystery, and "Without Warning" is another outstanding novel from Rosenfelt.
Review: 'Without Warning' is 1 of Rosenfelt's best

Interpol: No one checked our database for 2 stolen passports used on Malaysia airlines flight
PARIS – Interpol says no country checked its database that held information about two stolen passports that were used to board an ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight with 239 people on board.
In a sharply worded criticism of shortcomings of national passport controls, the Lyon, France-based international police body said information about the thefts of an Austrian passport in 2012 and an Italian passport last year was entered into its database after they were stolen in Thailand.
The Malaysian Boeing 777 disappeared Saturday less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, bound for Beijing.
Interpol said in a statement it was investigating all other passports used to board flight MH 370 and was working to determine the "true identities" of the passengers who used the stolen passports.

Back in 1993, Magic: the Gathering was released and one of the cards included in some packs looked like this:
Then later they changed it to this after complaints:
CoX had different variations on the 5-pointed star motif, one or two of which came close to this. Are there going to be "taboo" symbols in CoT, and if so will the pentagram be one of them? If I want to use my Iconic to make a pentagram, will I be told that's a "no-no"? What about any number of different variations on the cross (Christian looking ones, the Maltese cross, various military crosses, etc)?

James Moore
Historian of Science at the Open University (Milton Keynes, UK) Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1994; 218 pp
Deathbed conversion stories have long been part of the lore surrounding debates about the existence of God, the strength (or weakness) of agnostic and atheistic philosophies, or the persuasive force of theism and Christianity. For many theists, so-called "last minute conversions" provide some evidence that, in the end, atheism collapses before the reality of death, as an unbeliever suddenly realizes that his existence will continue beyond the grave. Skeptics, however, have their own roster of stories, replete with atheists considering their final end with imperturbable calm (e.g., David Hume). In the origins debate, many participants have heard that very near the end of his life, Charles Darwin himself returned to the Christian faith of his early years (or became a Christian for the first time). "Lady Hope," a suspiciously apocryphal-sounding character, is typically credited with providing this information. She is said to have discovered during a visit to Down House (Darwin's home), that Darwin embraced Christianity just before he died. (In fact, in the story, Lady Hope visits Darwin not strictly speaking on his "deathbed," but in the fall of 1881, about six months before Darwin died.)
Many creationists (not to mention evolutionists) grimace on hearing this story. The Darwin of the Autobiography, they point out, is the Darwin of historical reality: he lost his faith inexorably, its last traces probably obliterated long before 1881 (in 1851, at the death of his beloved daughter Annie). By the time of his death Darwin was a confirmed agnostic. In any event, what difference could Darwin's religious views possibly make to the truth of evolution? The theory must be considered on its merits. Suspiciously vague and ill-documented conversion stories belong in the dumpster of historical hokum.
Now James Moore, historian of science at the Open University (Milton Keynes, UK), has emptied that dumpster and perhaps several hundred other heaps of rubbish to get at the "truth" about the legend. ("Truth" belongs in quotations marks here, for Moore, a hard-core cultural relativist, is skeptical about its very existence. Richard Dawkins has joked that a social constructivist at 30,000 feet -- i.e., in a modern jetliner -- is a hypocrite. We might paraphrase that remark to include Moore: a social constructivist who throws himself for years into pursuing documents -- actual pieces of paper whose existence genuinely matters -- doesn't take his social constructivism very seriously. Maybe "truth" exists after all?) In his new book The Darwin Legend (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1994; 218 pp.), Moore argues that the mysterious "Lady Hope" was quite real, and left a wide trail in historical documents and other evidence. Furthermore, she almost certainly did visit Darwin near the end of his life. However, Moore doubts that Darwin underwent any sort of conversion (which indeed, he points out, Lady Hope never claimed)
Moore's book is documented with a rigor completely unbefitting a cultural relativist -- who ought to care, as Richard Rorty argues, only about what his colleagues will let him get away with. For twenty years, Moore has run down the legend of Darwin's conversion:
My sleuthing has taken me to three continents; through acres of decaying newsprint and reams of domestic correspondence; over mountains of monographs and even on a wild goose chase into the Alleghenies....I have located over one hundred occurrences of the legend in manuscript and print, including eleven original sources, at least two of which may be unconnected with Lady Hope. I have also compiled the Darwin family's angry reaction to the conversion story in ten private and published letters. All this evidence is transcribed or fully documented in the appendixes (p. 24)
Moore establishes definitively that Lady Hope existed. Born Elizabeth Reid Cotton on December 9, 1842, in Tasmania, she lived for most of her life in England, marrying into the title she proudly claimed in public writings and appearances. After emigrating to the United States as a penurious do-gooder, she died returning to England on March 8, 1922. Furthermore, Moore concludes, Lady Hope probably did meet with Darwin in the autumn of 1881. Her story contains "startling elements of authenticity" (p. 94) and "has the ring of truth about it" (p. 97), in providing details that only an actual visitor could know. Moore, who as the leading biographer of Darwin may know more about the minutiae of the Sage of Downe's life than anyone now alive, draws on a fund of details about Darwin's family life and the physical setting of Down House. The particulars of Lady Hope's account could be known only to someone, Moore believes, who actually visited the house and conversed with Darwin.
It is unlikely however, argues Moore, that Darwin changed his views of Christianity. From the 1840s to his death, Darwin abjured Biblical revelation, regarding the doctrine of eternal damnation as "damnable," and privately encouraged his atheistic correspondents to avoid direct attacks on religion - not because Christianity was true, however. There were better tactics to employ. "The gradual illumination of men's minds," Darwin claimed, followed best "from the advance of science" (p. 49). Moore finds it incredible that these entrenched views could be overthrown as Darwin saw the end of his life approaching.
In a recent lecture at Wheaton College (on April 1, 1995), Moore observed that his friend Fred Burkhardt, an editor employed in the Darwin Correspondence project at Cambridge, worried that Moore's book would revive the legend of Darwin's conversion. There seems little doubt that Moore's meticulous documentation has proved beyond question the reality of Lady Hope. Yet the weight of evidence - for those who value the evidence, and trust James Moore to the extent that such evidence actually exists (thus, who are not social constructivists) - still weighs against Darwin's "conversion." In any case, the theory of evolution has a life of its own. Its truth or falsity must be considered even if Darwin was taken up to heaven by a crowd of angels.

Sapphire HD4850 Dual Slot Heatsink Review
By ccokeman -
Call of Juarez is a DX10, first-person shooter set in the Wild West of the late 1800's. The game is inspired, in part, by the movies of the Wild West genre of the seventies and eighties. The game can be played in both single player and multiplayer modes. The game focuses on realistic graphics and gameplay designed to take advantage of the latest video cards on the market.
Video Settings:
- Details: High
- Shadowmap Size: 2048x2048
- Shadow Quality: Normal
- Anti-Aliasing: MSAA x4
ATI based video cards seem to have just that little extra performance edge in this benchmark. This is evidenced by the scoring of the GTX260.

Final Fantasy IV started life as a Super Nintendo game back in 1991. In the years since, it's become one of Square-Enix's most re-released games, showing up in various forms on the PlayStation, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Game Boy Advance, Wii, Nintendo DS, and the Wonder Swan Color. Not content to sit idly by when there are other gaming platforms to release Final Fantasy IV on, Square announced this week that the game will come to iOS and Android handhelds.
Final Fantasy IV will hit the iPhone and iPad on Dec. 20, and it'll be available in English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Chinese. This release will actually be an updated version of the 2008 Nintendo DS release, with full 3D graphics and a host of content not featured in the original, including story sequences showing the early life of the game's villain, Golbez.
The Android version of the game won't be released until sometime in 2013. Since Final Fantasy IV is coming to Android, though, this likely means that it will be released on the new home console Ouya as well. Square-Enix announced its early support of Ouya last summer, with the 3D remake of Final Fantasy III its first game for the platform.

Board split on adding new teacher
Classroom size - How many students are too many for the most optimal learning environment? That was a key issue of discussion at last week's special meeting of the Broken Bow Board of Education. The discussion ensued when a number of parents of next year's 5th graders addressed the board about adding another 5th grade teacher to the elementary staff. The current 4th grade class has 72 students, meaning that with the current three sections of 5th grade there would be 24 students in each section. Approximately 15 parents were present at the meeting, and several spoke in favor of adding a 5th grade teacher to keep the class sizes under 20, which has always been the goal for BBPS. Parents who addressed the board included Amy Cyboron, Janice Nozicka, Pam Holcomb, Bobby Harrold and Tim Schaaf. Though the vast majority of the guests at the meeting were in favor of the addition of a full time teacher at the 5th grade level, a handful of those present were opposed to the idea. Only one, Sherry Palmer, openly voiced her opposition. Another personnel issue on the agenda actually came into play in the 5th grade teacher discussion. Allison Jonas, 6th grade teacher, tendered her resignation to accept a principal position with Gothenburg Public Schools. Board President Ken Myers suggested that rather than replace Jonas this year, the district just use that position for another 5th grade teacher. In so doing it would increase the classroom size for next year's 6th grade into 24 in each section, as there would be only two sections. However, Myers and a couple of the other board members were of the opinion that with that class being a little older and more mature, and having two well experienced teachers at that grade level, 24 students per section would be manageable. Board member Michelle Zlomke told the board that a cost analysis shows that new hires replacing current staff - including a fourth 5th grade teacher - would actually cost $22,104.67 less that retaining all current staff members for the 2013-14 school year. Following the lengthy discussion, the vote to hire an additional full time elementary teacher for the 2013-14 school year ended in a tie: Zlomke, Tracy Popp and John Evans voted yes; Myers, Matthew Haumont and Dave Glendy voted no. The motion failed. Though the board did not approve the addition of an additional elementary teacher, they did approve contracts for four new teachers for the 2013-14 school year. Those were: • Skylar Rhode was approved as 5th grade teacher at BA, Step 1 • Krista Scott was approved as kindergarten teacher at BA9. • Nicole Kaelin was approved as 7-12 business teacher at BA9. • Katie Thomsen was approved as P.E./English teacher at BA, Step 1. High School Principal Ken Kujath explained that Cindy Fox will teach middle school computer classes and Ms. Thomsen will pick up the English classes. Ms. Thomsen will also teach 5th and 6th grade P.E. and Mr. Wetovick will pick up the 7th and 8th grade P.E. In other action items to come before the board, approval was given for five additional days to be added to Ed Schaaf's current 10 extended contract days. The request was made by Schaaf as the result of him taking on additional responsibilities with scheduling. Schaaf will also be meeting with the new principal during the summer. The board also approved the ESU 10 Special Education contract for 2013-14. BOARD COMMENTS: Board member Glendy reported on behalf of the operations committee, which recently met with BD Construction regarding progress on the North Park project. BD reported that $266,000 is available from the contingency fees to spend on projects that were initially cut from the project. The operations committee agreed to use the funds from fencing, drainage and parking and will continue to meet with BD to discuss future projects. Board members Zlomke reported for the personnel/policy committee, which has reviewed teacher and coach evaluation forms. There was also some discussion on the activities survey, and it was decided to schedule a work session prior to the May board meeting. Board member Haumont reported that a preliminary budget and goals have been reviewed by the finance committee. ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS: Elementary Principal Kim Jonas reported to the board that planning on the revisions at Custer school is continuing. A parent meeting has been scheduled for April 25. Jonas also announced that kindergarten field day will be May 6, while field day for grades 1-5 will be May 7. Jonas also reported some good news and some bad news for some of the schools other programs. The good news is Central Plains Center for Services received a grant for $85,463 for the After School Program. The bad news is that due to federal cuts there will be some changes to the preschool program with Central Nebraska Community Services next year. The main changes will be that CNCS will serve 3-year-olds, and Broken Bow Schools will serve verified 3 and 4-year-olds, and income qualified 4-year-olds. They will also continue to service students in the Sixpence Program. Superintendent Sievering reported that a grant consortium will be put together to hire a professional grant writer. He also reported on the dates for the final day of school: May 17 for elementary students, May 21 for middle school students (grades 6-8), and 9-12 grade students will return the morning of May 22 for check-out. Sievering noted that the elementary is dismissed earlier than the other grades to allow time for the elementary teachers to pack up their rooms as all elementary teachers will move classrooms this year. The board adjourned into closed session at 8:45 p.m. to discuss personnel issues. No decisions were made following the closed session. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the school board is May 20 at 7 p.m., with a 5 p.m. work session scheduled for a presentation on the activities survey.

Forget what you know about withdrawal rates. The key to making your nest egg last is to spend less money than you earn.
Due to state tax law differences, however, you'll soon learn that where you live during retirement largely dictates what you spend.
Some states, such as Minnesota and Vermont, impose a hefty tax on retirement income, while California's top income tax rate is a budget busting 13.3 percent. Others, including New Jersey, have the highest property tax rate in the nation, while 14 states tax Social Security benefits either in part or in full. They are: Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia. (Not all, though, made our list of least tax friendly states for retirees.)
Also, the sheer size of the aging baby boomer population has encouraged most states to consider more tax-favorable legislation for seniors, said Kathleen Thies, state tax analyst for CCH tax services firm in Riverwoods, Ill. And some relief programs have already been enacted.
But due to their combination of taxes on ordinary income, pensions, real estate, inherited property and estates, the following 10 states can best be described as hostile territory for retirees.
The list was culled with data collected from CCH, the Tax Foundation, state revenue departments, retirementliving.com and the Federation of Tax Administrators. (Property tax rates, compiled by the Tax Foundation using Census Bureau data, are through calendar year 2011 and reflect the mean property tax as a percentage of mean home value.)
And because tax laws impact retirees differently, depending on their financial circumstances, we did not attempt to rank each state in terms of tax friendliness—or lack thereof. The states are instead presented in alphabetical order.

Preparing for yet another political battle -- a Supreme Court vacancy… Does Obama go for a safe pick or swing for the fences?... Steele gives his first interview since the sex-themed club story broke… USA Today/Gallup breaks down the Tea Party… A new L.A. Times/USC poll has Meg Whitman narrowly leading Jerry Brown… Rand Paul has a new TV ad hitting Trey Grayson… And Rudy Giuliani stumps for Marco Rubio.
From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg
*** The next battle? Just as things started to slow down a bit after health care's passage, the political world might be bracing for another big fight very soon. And we're not talking about financial or immigration reform. Rather, we're talking about what may be President Obama's second opportunity to fill a Supreme Court seat. On Sunday, both the New York Times and Washington Post ran interviews with 89-year-old (and soon-to-be 90-year-old) Justice John Paul Stevens, who suggested that he could be retiring soon. Those interviews followed Jeffrey Toobin's March New Yorker profile of Stevens, who said that he would make up his mind in April. "'Well, I still have my options open,' he said. 'When I decided to just hire one clerk, three of my four clerks last year said they'd work for me next year if I wanted them to. So I have my options still. And then I'll have to decide soon.' On March 8th, he told me that he would make up his mind in about a month."
*** Go safe or swing for the fences? A Stevens retirement would trigger yet another political fight over filling a SCOTUS vacancy. It's worth noting that the White House -- after the year-long health-care fight -- is pretty exhausted and might not have the appetite for a really big battle. Then again, even if Obama gets two terms, will he ever have 59 Democratic senators again? If you wanted to swing for the fences one more time, this might be your last opportunity, right? The early short list includes the runners-up from last year: Diane Wood of the 7th Circuit, current Solicitor General Elena Kagan, and Merrick Garland of the D.C. Circuit.
*** Steele speaks: In his first interview since the controversy over the RNC's $2,000 expenditure at a sex-themed club surfaced, Chairman Michael Steele maintained that he would not step down, arguing that the RNC fired the staffer responsible for that expenditure. "We dealt with it," he told ABC this morning. "We got to the bottom of it." He also responded to criticism of the RNC's fundraising and spending. "At the end of the day, I have raised more money than the Democrats in seven of 10 months." He also said that the RNC had spent money to win the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. Still, he admitted that his RNC needed to be more fiscally responsible. "I hear our donors; I hear our base out there." When asked whether he had a slimmer margin for error because he was black, Steele replied, "The honest answer is yes." Steele then tied himself to the president: "Barack Obama has a slimmer margin." Finally, he said, "At the end of the day, I am judged by whether I win elections and raise money."
*** Who are the Tea Party supporters? USA Today/Gallup is the latest polling group to examine the Tea Party movement. And its conclusion is similar to GOP pollster Dave Winston's: These folks are essentially disaffected Republicans. In the USA Today/Gallup poll, 49% of Tea Party supporters identify themselves as Republicans, while 43% say they are independents. But a whopping 70% of them say they are conservatives, while just 22% say they are moderate and only 7% say they are liberal.
*** California Dreamin': A new L.A. Times/USC poll shows Meg Whitman (R) leading Jerry Brown (D) by three points (44%-41%) in a hypothetical gubernatorial match-up, and it has Whitman leading primary challenger Steve Poizner by 40 points. "In the Republican Senate contest, former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell held a slim lead over one-time Hewlett-Packard chief Carly Fiorina, 29% to 25%. Coming in a distant third was Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, at 9%. At this early stage of the campaign, [Democrat Barbara] Boxer has a comfortable cushion over a generic Republican, 48% to 34%, as she seeks her fourth term. Although somewhat diminished in popularity, Boxer maintains a positive impression among California voters, the poll found."
*** Super Senate Tuesday: In Kentucky, Rand Paul (R) has a new TV ad hitting Trey Grayson (R) for raising money in DC and being part of the "Washington machine." And in Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Arlen Specter (D) has campaigned relentlessly, "making return visits to each of the state's 67 counties since September."
*** Other midterm news: In Colorado, Sen. Michael Bennet has a new TV ad… In Florida, Rudy Giuliani endorses and stumps for Marco Rubio in Miami… And in Nevada, Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian "paid $5,575 to cover a disputed [$5,000] check and prosecution fees before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Deborah Lippis approved withdrawing felony theft and bad check charges, court officials said," the AP says.

Jim Allen is a long-time friend of Lipscomb athletics and has served the Lipscomb community for many years, first in the administration and now as a Trustee. Allen and his wife Linda have also helped to shape the campus in significant ways funding the construction of the Allen Bell Tower as a memorial to their son, Michael, and making the largest single gift in Lipscomb history to build Allen Arena.
Director of Athletics Philip Hutcheson on Jim Allen:
"Many inside and outside the Lipscomb community know about the impact that Jim has had on the Lipscomb campus through his work on the Board of Trust, his time here as vice-president of business affairs and his generous support of the University throughout the years. And while the Allen Bell Tower and Allen Arena are certainly iconic features on the Lipscomb campus, what many don't see is the heart that Jim has for the students and the University as a whole. No one has been a bigger, more engaged supporter of Lipscomb Athletics 'on the field' than Jim has, and no one has stayed with us, win or lose, more than he has. Even more importantly, every step of the way, Jim has been behind Lipscomb's efforts to help our programs excel in the classroom, in the community and in their efforts to live out Lipscomb's Christian mission, and it that dedication to all parts of the Lipscomb Athletics mission that have made him such a worthy inductee into our Hall of Fame."

The commentariat has been in overdrive lately dissecting President Obama's approach to Syria: It is dizzying, incompetent, deceptive, confused or, as columnist Jonah Goldberg put it Tuesday in The Times, a case of "bait-and-switch."
Goldberg has a point, if you come from the camp whose top priority is removing Syrian President Bashar Assad from power. Over the years, the Obama administration has evolved from criticizing Assad to denouncing him and then to calling for his ouster. But in the last week it has spoken only of eliminating his stockpile of toxic weapons, a task that may require Assad's continued rule to be completed. As Douglas J. Feith, a former top Pentagon official under President George W. Bush (and one of the folks responsible for the Iraq war), put it, "Assad has risen from outlaw butcher to partner in disarmament."
But maybe what's playing out here is more like Brer Rabbit and the briar patch.
Obama has been reluctant to involve U.S. troops in any of the Arab Spring conflicts; witness the "leading from behind" approach in Libya, where Obama supported efforts to oust Moammar Kadafi while ostensibly limiting the U.S. role to protecting innocent Libyans from slaughter by the regime. Obama's desire to keep his distance from Syria was yet more evident; he wouldn't even provide arms to the rebels, despite his public support for their efforts to evict Assad from power.
How people felt about that stance depended to a great degree on what they thought the United States' interests were in the conflict. Did we have a moral obligation to stop the slaughter of civilians? Did we need to intervene for the sake of having some influence over whoever replaces Assad, should he be ousted? Even for those who felt strongly that the civil war in Syria was a humanitarian disaster, these questions weren't easy to answer.
The conflict took on a new dimension last year when reports emerged that Assad's forces were using chemical weapons against rebels and civilians in rebel-held territory. By flouting a clear global taboo, Assad put Obama in a bind. If the president ignored Assad's gassing of his opponents, that would only encourage Assad and other despots to build and use more such weapons, increasing the likelihood that they'd wind up in terrorists' hands. Obama had to do something, even though he, like most Americans, wanted the United States to stay on the sidelines in the Syrian conflict.
The first step was to warn Assad by drawing a "red line" that implied a U.S. response if he got caught using toxic arms, but didn't specify what that response would be. After compelling evidence emerged that the regime had, in fact, continued to gas its adversaries, the Obama administration announced in June that it would increase its support for the rebels significantly -- including, as was later made apparent, agreeing to arm them.
Stop and think about what the administration was doing there. Given two excuses to intervene deeply in Syria -- and pushed hard by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and other hawks -- Obama insisted that U.S. troops stay out of the conflict.
So what did the Syrian regime do? It allegedly increased its use of chemical weapons. That led Obama to call for the military action that he had been long resisting -- albeit on an extremely limited scale (Secretary of State John F. Kerry said it would be "unbelievably small," drawing brickbats from some pundits). In fact, the administration made clear that the intent of the intervention would not be to oust Assad or tip the balance in the civil war but just to prevent the further use of chemical weapons.
Then Obama said he would seek authority from Congress before acting -- a "head-spinning reversal," as the Wall Street Journal put it, that raised the possibility of lawmakers vetoing the planned military action. Days later, Obama seized on a Russian proposal -- which came after an apparently offhand remark by Kerry -- to have Assad turn over his chemical stockpiles to international authorities rather than punishing him with airstrikes. Now the prospect of military action seems dim as the United Nations tries to come up with a verifiable way to collect Syria's toxic arms.
Yet all the twists and turns the administration has taken on Syria recently have merely brought us back to the place we were before the last big gas attack allegedly perpetrated by the regime. The United States remains on the sidelines, which is where Obama seems determined to stay. To the president's backers, the maneuvering represents a policy victory for Obama because he extricated himself (and us) from the bind created by the repeated and escalating use of chemical weapons in Syria. Brer Rabbit has emerged from the other side of the briar patch, no longer stuck to the tar baby.
Of course, the fox is still out there, killing his countrymen by the thousands.

Target achieved: Skylanders is a $1bn franchise
The Skylanders series has now reached $1bn in just 15 months.
That's according to Activision, which has combined sales of toys, accessories, Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants.
It follows Activision chief Bobby Kotick's pledge to create a new $1bn franchise out of the toy series.
The firm says its toy sales have surpassed those of Beyblades, Star Wars and Tramsformers.
The Skylanders franchise became the first kids' video game IP to cross the $1 billion mark in just 15 months4, and I think we are still just starting to realise its potential," said Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg.
We knew that the simple, but magical idea, of bringing your toys to life in a video game could change both the video game and the toy industries, and more importantly, change the way kids play. And this autumn, we're looking forward to delivering to fans our latest break-through innovation, Skylanders Swap Force, which lets kids customise their own characters, bringing toys to life to a whole new level."

- The Proportion of Patients Achieving Undetectable Viral Loads at Week 24. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]For the primary efficacy analysis, "undetectable" was defined as having HIV-1 RNA below the limit of assay detection at <50 copies/mL. The primary efficacy endpoint was analyzed using Fisher exact test. The primary analysis was performed using the ITT population and both the missing data equals treatment failure (MEF) and last observation carried forward (LOCF) methods. The more conservative MEF results are recorded here.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Viral Load (log10) at Week 24/EOS [ Time Frame: Week 24 / End of Study ]The mean change in HIV-1 RNA (log10) from the Baseline measurement was analyzed at Week 24/End of Study using a generalized linear model at each scheduled study visit.
- Mean Change From Baseline in CD4+ T-Cell Count at Week 24/EOS [ Time Frame: Week 24 / End of Study ]The mean change in CD4+ T-cell count from the Baseline measurement at Week 24/End of Study was summarized at each scheduled time point by treatment group.
- Proportion of Patients With Viral Load <200 Copies/mL at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]This measure was assessed in the same manner as the primary efficacy analysis for the proportion of patients achieving HIV-1 RNA levels below 200 copies/mL at Week 24 of the study.
- Proportion of Patients With Viral Load <400 Copies/mL at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]This efficacy measure was assessed in the same manner as the primary efficacy analysis to determine the proportion of the total population achieving HIV-1 RNA levels <400 copies at Week 24 of the study.
- Proportion of Patients With a 1.0 log10 or Greater Reduction in Viral Load at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]This efficacy assessment was performed in the same manner as the primary efficacy analysis for the proportion of the total population achieving at least a 1.0 log10 reduction from Baseline in HIV-1 RNA.
- Proportion of Patients With a 0.5 log10 or Greater Reduction in Viral Load at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]This efficacy assessment was performed in the same manner as the primary efficacy analysis for the proportion of the total population achieving at least a 0.5 log10 reduction from the Baseline measurement in HIV-1 RNA at Week 24 of the study.

Would be handy if you could replicate a shot at those settings (camera excepted - not expecting you to go buy an EOS 600D just to satify my curiosity! )
If they get any brighter I'm thinking I might have to drop the exposure time to 10 seconds.
Camera was positioned directly above the saddle - tripod doubled as bike stand for the shots.
I'll replicate your settings (with a Pentax), but I only have a 90mm lens at the moment (the original kit jobbie packed it in) so it won't be exactly the same.
I'll also shoot to the 'MTBR standard' that I came across while researching lights:
"Full manual, ISO-100, Exposure-6 seconds, Aperture-F4.0, Focus-Manual, White Balance-Daylight".

The Last Year According to iPhone
A LOT has happened in the past year. We have officially been in our home just over a year....and I have officially owned an iphone 1 year. So while the quality of photos is not that of an SLR or anything....my phone is usually with me and therefore has been able to capture a lot of otherwise forgotten moments....and yes, most of the last ones are of Mark.
And yes, this is a crazy long post so feel free to skip over the videos & browse quickly through the pics. There are a ga-zillion videos so if they are not playing...then give your browser some time to load them all....sorry.
September 2009
The very first picture taken with my new phone. I think she looks so young!
Neither Peter nor I are good singers....so unfortunately I don't think it's in the cards for Sofia....
Proof that Stella does occasionally eat healthy food. She loves broccoli!!
The house was basically move-in ready. We've only painted the girls' room....Sofia helped me quite a bit....now it looks like the pink panther barfed everywhere.
Ahhhh....my Stell-Bell & her famous nightly dance....never gets old for me.

Time to switch out the summer clothes with fall clothes!
First week of November 2009.....and this might also be how I informed my husband....why do it in person when you can send a picture text message?
The above picture occurred just days before our beer tasting party.....awesome....or not.
Peter's cousin Kyle comes for a very boring visit. I was preggo & colitis sick....and useless. I sent him to the park with Sofia while I napped on the couch....way to be a great host Rach.
Watching daddy play indoor
Sofia looks forward to the visit with Santa every year. Stella had issues with the creepy fat man in red.

June 2010: I had a MASSIVE garage sale....I was 8 months pregnant & Peter was out of town....I'm a idiot. I will never have another garage sale again.
Sofia & neighbor friend Madelyn had a lemonade & cookie stand. They EACH made $12!!
I love sales.
We frequently make the coffee table into a fort....complete with flashlights, snacks, & story time.
The last few weeks before D-day.....I kept my overweight preggo self inside our freezing house. My girls always wanted to be outside & play in the sauna....so I had to document the few times I made it outside with them.
Poolside....who needs a pool membership when you have this?
The newest family member
Kinda looks like a girl....but still love him!
Our door is always dirty and gross....this might be the reason why....
Gun show
Mark has a long toe just like his mama! Sometimes it's the little things in life that make me smile....
Stella loves her baby brother
This was our main summer entertainment....bathing suits & a sprinkler
Stella was trying to show me that she had a huge gash on chin that was spurting blood....and therefore DESPERATELY needed a band-aid. I'm not sure how band-aids make pain go away...but they do for Stella.
Ice cream on the front stoop was a very frequent treat this past summer.
I tried to phase out Stella's nap in an attempt to end her 10pm fall asleep time....sometimes I have the worst ideas.
What would I do without this girl??
I am a milk making freak. This is about 3 weeks worth of extra milk. I have since found several people that want my liquid gold donations. My current recipient is an adopted baby girl in Baltimore who has allergies to all formula. So glad that I can help another baby.
Nice pick Stella
Washing a baby in a bucket
Stella's first Chicago Fire soccer game....courtesy of K Sheldon! Shout out. We all had a blast.
Sofia's 2nd Fire game.
Stella felt that Mark should be a princess because being a princess is fun. Peter was NOT happy about this picture....
A baby gift basket by NamHee Designs for a dear friend
Mark's favorite thing to do....let's hope he's not a total narcissist when he's older.
Mark occasionally finds his thumb & will soothe himself back to sleep....I just wish he would do this all the time.
Stella loves most anything that doesn't fit and looks obnoxious. This past Saturday it was a hat 4 times to large for her....
Mark is a very happy baby....can you tell?
Mark is finding his voice
