Two-tier testing for Lyme disease
About this Figure
The Two-tier Testing Decision Tree describes the steps recommended by CDC to test for Lyme disease. The first required test is the Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) or Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA). If this test yields negative results, the provider should consider an alternative diagnosis. Or in cases where the patient has had symptoms for less than or equal to 30 days, the provider may presumptively treat the patient and follow up with a convalescent serum. If the first test yields positive or equivocal results, two options are available: 1) if the patient has had symptoms for less than or equal to 30 days, an IgM Western Blot is performed; 2) if the patient has had symptoms for more than 30 days, the IgG Western Blot is performed. The IgM should not be used if the patient has been ill for more than 30 days.
Understanding laboratory test results
About This Figure
Understanding Test Results for Infectious Diseases
The illustration depicts the likelihood of false positive and false negative test results based on the prior probability of a disease occurring in a given population. Clinicians should consider the likelihood of disease before performing laboratory testing. The likelihood that a patient has a disease depends on many factors:
- Has a patient been in an area where the disease is found?
- Does the patient have signs and symptoms typical of the disease?
- Does the patient have risk factors for contracting or developing the disease?
In populations where disease is rare or unlikely, testing is likely to lead to false positives more frequently than true positives.
Continuing Medical Education for Clinicians
- A free, CDC-sponsored Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA) course helps providers learn to properly identify and treat tickborne diseases (CME/CNE/CECH available): Little Bite, Big Disease: Recognizing and Managing Tickborne Illnesses.
- As a service to clinicians, CDC has supported the development of an online CME Case Study Course on the Clinical Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention of Lyme Disease. This free, interactive course consists of a series of case studies designed to educate providers regarding the proper diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. Each case is accredited for 0.25 CME credits, for a maximum of 1.5 CME. There is no cost for these credits.
- The National Association of School Nurses presents an online course titled "Tick-borne Illness: Prevention, Assessment and Care" that focuses on clinical care of tickborne diseases in school and camp settings. CNE is available.
Case Definition and Report Forms
- Lyme Disease Surveillance Case Definition (revised Jan 2017)
- Lyme Disease Surveillance Case Report Form [PDF – 2 pages] (for public health officials' use)
Note: Surveillance case definitions establish uniform criteria for disease reporting and should not be used as the sole criteria for establishing clinical diagnoses, determining the standard of care necessary for a particular patient, setting guidelines for quality assurance, or providing standards for reimbursement.

Broken Vows
Trevor raised his hand. "It only happened once. I promise."
"Liar! You rat." Olivia's voice shook.
"Honey, calm down. We'll work this out."
"Don't 'honey' me." She hurled a crystal vase at his head. Missing, it shattered against the wall. "I said, 'Get out.'"
"You can't do this. It's my home, too."
Olivia hefted her waiting baseball bat. Trevor glowered, backed up, nearly tripping over the packed suitcase.
Music swelled; the scene faded.
Jane snapped off the TV, propped Howard's golfclub against the sofa, eyed his overnight bag by the door. She was ready for her rat to come home.

527 train as C'nity Policing Assistants
About 527 Community Policing Assistants (CPAs) have gone through five weeks of training in Accra.
The trainees, who were recruited from the Greater Accra and Western Regions are to assist the Ghana Police Service to solve security challenges at the community level.
Addressing the gathering, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, said security was a matter of concern to the government, and it was necessary to recruit the youth to augment the efforts of the Police Service to ensure sanity in the communities.
He urged them to use the knowledge and skills acquired to help improve their various communities adding that lessons such as discipline, punctuality, team work and patriotism were key elements for developing a better society.
Mr. Afotey Agbo also stressed the need for them to work as agents for change, and educate their peers to desist to from social vices such as armed robbery, stealing, riots and teenage pregnancies.
He announced that measures had been put in place by the Government to reduce unemployment, adding that many social intervention programmes had been introduced to curb the problem.
"The module of Community Policing Assistants is an important social intervention programme that seeks to alleviate poverty and make the youth gainfully employed", he said.
Mr. Kobina Beechem, Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Authority (YEA) noted that about 22.6 per cent of the vibrant population were the youth, indicating their dominance in the country.
He said the YEA sought to work with other institutions from the public and private sectors to create jobs for the youth.
"The Youth in Security Module is a perfect example of such collaboration between YEA and the Ghana Police Service."

Our blog site http://www.alltimepartyhire.com.au is all about the many facets of event management, but before going into some details about our goals and objects, it is necessary to clear the air about this concept. Wikipedia defines event management as "the application of project management to the creation and development of large scale events. It involves studying the brand, identifying the target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics, and coordinating the technical aspects before actually launching the event".
Most people do not have a clear understanding of what event management is today. It is not uncommon to attend glittering product launches or weddings of the rich and the famous or mega closing and opening ceremonies of major sports events and be enthralled by the ambience, the environment and the food. But very few realise that behind all the glam and show event management companies and event managers have been working round the clock tirelessly for months to make the event a grand success.
At our blog site readers will get to know the many facets of event management. Aspiring managers wanting to join as an intern or desiring to open their own companies will get guidelines on how to go about. We will bring in detail the attributes of an event manager, the roles and duties to be performed and the skills sets that need to be attained before one can rise to the top in this profession.
Our team of bloggers and researchers go behind the scenes to bring to our readers specific insights of event management. We will especially take up large events where event managers have planned out the projects and post on our site an analysis of how the event was planned from scratch and the process followed right through. It goes without saying that event management has today come of age and most major events – corporate or individual – are planned out by event management companies. The industry is projected to cross $50 billion by 2020.
Our site is basically a one stop shop for news, information and insights into the world of event management. Those wanting to enter this field and those just curious about this activity will find our site equally interesting.

Say hello to Amber, she is only a year old, due to be spayed at the end of April, and chipped.
Amber has had a busy time in her short life, she was up until recently living with 2 female springer spaniels and 1 male but Amber and another female had their season and there was an altercation with the male and Amber bit him so she has gone back to live with the lady who she originally came from.
Amber has a very loving temperament and was very happy to meet our volunteer, took treats very gently, the lady who has her now has 5 children and Amber is fine around all of them. Her litter sister is also at the home and they do not see eye to eye so Amber is being kept separate from the other dogs. Amber's mum was pregnant when Deborah rescued her from a Gypsy site but was so thin no one knew until they popped out, Deborah has done a good thing by taking Amber back to help her find the right forever home for her.
Can you help Amber?
Amber was re homed by her owner.

Style: To use look like a goddess, the wife needs her intuitive. The perfect designer wedding dress has to flatter your figure. A-line designer wedding dress flows fit on the top and flares from the waist or empire waist dress that fits the bust and a skirt from the bust to plump attractive women or women with heavy hips or thighs or a thick waist. Thin, balanced proportions of women bring spice to a wedding dress or jacket style siren too.

The perfect wedding gown designer also has a flat chest. Select a section, the special editions or disguises your chest, shoulders and arms. If your bust is small, or your body is pear-shaped style, a strapless, halter and V-neck cut-outs are less flattering. All these decisions are, on average, to flatter the neckline ample bust line.

text: Somehow after a recent sync of music files using isyncr my droid x is stuck in a updating media files loop. It constantly updates the media files, which kills the performance, and makes the phone virtually un-usable. This is really frustrating. I thought it might have been an issue with the sd card not being ejected properly, but it read fine on the computer. I am out of ideas. This has become ridiculously annoying, and I cannot find a fix for it.

Fish ManagementThe Water Management Board relies on the Michigan DNR for recommendations regarding Wolverine Lake's fish population. At the Water Management Board's request the Michigan DNR Fisheries Division performs fish surveys on Wolverine Lake about every 8 to 10 years. After reviewing the survey results the DNR makes recommendations as to the type, size and quantity of fish to be added during the survey year that best balances the lakes ecosystem. Along with the initial recommendations the DNR also provides guidelines that the Water Management Board uses to determine what fish to recommend to Council to be added to the lake in subsequent years. The most recent fish survey began on May 7, 2012, ended on June 6, 2012 and included using the following fish sample (survey) methods:Trap Net: 3 nets used for three nights between May 7 and 10, 2012 with 1 to 5 feet set depthMini-Fyke Net: 2 nets used for two nights between May 7 and 9, 2012 with 0 to 4 feet set depthGill Net: 1 net used for two nights between May 7 and 9, 2012 with 8 to 24 feet set depthMinnow Seine (or Drag Net): 1 net used for three hauls between May 7, 2012 and June 6, 2012 with 0 to 3 feet set depthBoom (Electro-) Shocker: 1 boom system used for three transects (each 10 minutes in duration) on June 6, 2012 with 1 to 5 feet depthUsing the DNR recommendations or guidelines additional fish are purchased from a hatchery and normally introduced to the lake in the month of October.Fishing Stocking HistoryImportant NoticeViral Hemorrhagic Septicmeia (VHS) is an extremely serious, highly contagious viral disease of fresh and saltwater fish. It can affect both wild and domestic fish, often resulting in death. Currently there is no treatment. To date it has not been found in Wolverine Lake so it's critical that we all understand how it spreads and follow some simple precautionary procedures.There is a boat cleaning station installed at the DNR Launch Site located behind Village Hall. Boats should be sprayed and all vegetation removed before entering and after departing the lake. This will help in the prevention of spreading fish diseases such as Viral Hemorrhagic Septicmeia (VHS). Use instructions are clearly posted at the site.

Is it your goal to be a productive web designer? Do you have goals set up for yourself, but are not sure how to design a website, and that is preventing your from meeting them? This is the article for you! It will show you how to get started creating an awesome website.
Pay close attention to the backgrounds of your site design. Animated GIF backgrounds and complicated patterns on your website can be very distracting to viewers trying to absorb your content. Your audience will have a more pleasurable browsing experience if your background is conducive to reading your text.
Avoid use of too many different fonts in any one website creation. You need to also be mindful of how some fonts appear on monitors, since smaller serif fonts are difficult to read. Verdana is a font commonly used because it's easy to read in an array of colors and sizes.
No matter how aesthetically designed your site is, make sure all files have smaller file sizes. This is because the size of your website's files directly affects its loading time. Of course, having your website load quickly is the best scenario for visitors. You should remember also that some visitors may not use an Internet connection that is high speed. Test to be sure that even computers with slow dial-up modems can connect quickly to your website.
It is very important that you understand the needs of your web visitors. A good web designer will always remained focused on the needs of the end user. Examples of this would be user interaction, accessibility, usability and the users overall experience. It is essential that you don't drop the ball on this. Try to look at your website design as if you were one of your users.
Keep load times to a minimum of your site. Visitors to your site may be more likely to navigate away from your page if it takes too long to load pages. Use less graphics, avoid Flash, and optimize your HTML.
Web hosting is a package deal and you need to take the time to understand what the host is providing you for the price. The things that are important to know are bandwidth, CPU usage, disk space and any other areas that they highlight in their package. Be sure that you understand exactly what you're getting.
You will have to know HTML5 fairly well if you are to succeed in web page design. If HTML5 is something that is foreign to you, you have a learning curve ahead of you.
Task based tests can help determine the quality of your design layout. These tasks involve finding information on your website. If you have a well-designed site, users won't have a problem doing this. This may take a while if your site is not constructed well.
Use good looking graphics throughout your website. Add interest to your site by wrapping text around the images. A site that looks like the owner cares and put a lot of time into it will attract more people to it, and maybe they will become one of your customers.
All of your domains and sub-domains should have a visible, keyword-oriented tagline. They should be in bold, large text and be placed in the viewer's initial line of sight. The tagline informs of the goal of each page, and can retain or repel your readers.
Get help from a professional — a seasoned veteran of web page design can help you get past a lot of rookie errors. This could be the depth of information that you need, to build a solid foundation in website development.
Don't buy literature when learning web design. You can invest in books if feel that's the only way you learn. There is helpful information in many magazines and books on the market. However, much of this is available at no cost. Free books have just as good information as those that cost you money.
If you're wanting to design multiple sites, you need to learn how to work with multiple platforms. Skills in Java, PHP, MySQL and others will enable you to build many different kinds of websites. Whether you're a hobbyist designer or a grizzled professional, knowing a lot of different web technologies is sure to make you more in-demand.
When spam ends up on your site, you must clean it up immediately. This helps keep your site looking great. A professional website designer will always be prepared to wipe away the trash and clean up the page.
Search Box
You should not only place your search box close to the top of the page, but should allow visitors to type 27 or more characters into the box. The button that puts the search query into the system should be labeled "search", rather than "submit" or "okay." Making the search box properly ensures that it is seen easily, used easily, and helps visitors to your site locate the information they want.
By now, you should be feeling more self-assured in your ability to create an effective, well-designed website. You should have a much better idea. If you don't, continue rereading this article until you can understand website creation better, in order to increase your confidence in the subject.

That Wellington City Council allows Crossways Community Creche to use the old Bandoliers building at the top of Marjoribanks St as a children's play facility by recognising that play is recreation for children.
WCC needs to show a high level of leadership on this issue and inform 'Friends of the Town Belt' that they are being excessively pedantic and obstructive in blocking the creche's use of the Bandoliers building. Childcare services are a high priority and need the support of WCC.

After months of shipping 3TB hard drives inside USB enclosures and network-attached storage boxes, Seagate is finally ready to let one stand on its own. The company has announced that a 3TB flavor of its flagship Barracuda XT desktop drive is now shipping. Unlike the 3TB Caviar Green, which uses four platters and has a 5,400-RPM spindle speed, the new 'cuda spins five 600GB discs at 7,200 RPM.
That configuration sounds familiar because it's the same one used in Hitachi's Deskstar 7K3000. Seagate's platters have a higher areal density than Hitachi's, though. The Barracuda squeezes 488 gigabits into every square inch of surface area, while the Deskstar's areal density is only 411 Gb/in².
At its fastest, Seagate claims the new 'cuda can push bits at 149MB/s. Obviously, sustained transfers won't be able to do much with the drive's 6Gbps Serial ATA interface. However, burst transfers from the drive's generous 64MB DRAM cache could enjoy a modest speed boost from the faster data pipe.
To help folks sort out the confusion surrounding the 2.19TB barrier, Seagate has put up a helpful page that includes a download link to its own DiscWizard software. This app unlocks the drive's full capacity under Windows XP and allows users to boot from it with systems that lack UEFI BIOSes. The latter is an important consideration given that this is a 7,200-RPM model more likely to be used as a system drive than the low-power Caviar Green.
The press release doesn't reveal the Barracuda XT 3TB's price or when it will arrive on retail shelves. You can probably expect a bit of a premium, though. Although the 3TB Caviar Green is down to $200 at Newegg, the Deskstar 7K3000 is selling for $350.

My stepdad's uncle served at Fort Wainwright after having moved to Alaska in 1937. I bet he had some experiences like this, and you could always count on Uncle Vince for a good story or two...and some Caribou jerky or Alaska Amber if you were nice to him. It was, and remains, a different world up there.
Looks like spring, wherever it is. I'm guessing further south than Wainwright from the deciduous tree.
Holy cow, he looks like Putin's father on a spy mission.
That was clever of him to put the U.S. Mail sign over the outhouse door, so that he could spend all the time needed to read his newspaper.

On Friday we went on a field trip to Roanoke Island to learn more about The Lost Colony and to visit the birthplace of Americas first English child, Virginia Dare. I am glad we live so close (about a 2 hour drive) to this historic site. Bridget did not know what to expect. She knew that the houses were gone even by the time John White returned from England. My hope was for her to be able to at least visualize how the island might have appeared to the settlers coming over from England.
At the beginning of the path, we found this monument. Bridget was excited that it had Virginia Dare's name on it.
|Bridget pointing to the name "Virginia Dare".
A little further down to path, we came to Fort Raleigh, which was a reconstructed earthen fort.
|Fort Raleigh
We kept going on the nature trail and stopped off at this spot to get a better idea of how it might have looked from the shoreline back in 1587.
All along the nature trail there were signs telling us about how the Algonquians lived, how the settlers lived, and about the local trees and plants they may have used. This sign tells us how the settlers were saved by sassafras.
|"Saved By Sassafras"
After the educational part of our field trip was over, we headed to the beach at Nags Head! It was a beautiful day (as you can see by that sky) and the kids enjoyed their time playing in the sand and in the water. Liam even enjoyed himself this time. On our last beach trip, he was miserable. This time was different. He played with the sand rake and attempted many times to crawl towards the water. We had three very happy children at the beach. What more could I ask for?
When we left the beach, we stopped at 7-Eleven to get some slurpees. It was a hot day and we were really looking forward to our treat for the drive home. Not only did the kids have a wonderful time, but my husband and I also felt like the trip was a success. We had four hours of grown-up conversation on the drive to and from the Outer Banks while the kids snacked, colored, read books and slept in the back of the van. We're already looking forward to our next field trip---an overnighter!

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --Houston Independent School District Board Vice President, Diana Davila, discusses the Texas Education Agency's warning to HISD that the district faces the prospect of having some of its low-performing schools closed unless they make significant academic progress.
Eleven schools in HISD received an "improvement required" rating.
Davila maintains HISD has made some progress as 90 percent of the District's schools earned a "met standard" rating for the 2016-2017 school year.
But she admits there's still much work to do to help chronically low-performing schools.

Office Software: Windows 8 RT Will Have Office 2013 RT Preview At Launch
Microsoft Windows 8 RT devices will apparently be at the disadvantage of carrying Office 2013 RT preview version at launch.
Windows 8 RT To Come With Office 2013 RT Preview Version
Windows 8 RT will be coming out alongside of Windows 8 this October. Microsoft is preparing a Intel-based Surface version to release early next year, missing the holiday rush. It will come out right after most of the eager Windows 8 consumers have bought ARM devices instead. And they will have to bear with Office 2013 RT preview version.
Windows 8 RT will apparently come out with the preview version of Microsoft's popular productivity suite. It will be missing some key features like macros, third-party plugin capabilities, VBA support and more. Those close to the development process have said that these features have proved to be battery drainers. Hence Microsoft is busy figuring out ways to include them without killing the tablet batteries.
Office is of course one of the main trump cards that Microsoft has to play to make Windows 8 popular on tablets. Professionals would love a tablet that can handle their productivity demands with Excel, PowerPoint and Word. And this productivity is what Microsoft has been trying to sell when it comes to shoehorning Windows 8 tablets in to the enterprise.
The story was originally reported by The Verge and they are guessing the new version won't be coming in too late in to the game. Their guess is that it will come out in early 2013, which puts it right around the Intel-based Surface tablet release. Consumers who are looking for the mobility offered by an ARM device will have to make do for the time being. Others can of course dig right in with Intel-based Windows 8 tablets from other manufacturers. These will run Office 2013 just fine and most of them come with Transformer Prime style keyboard docks for extra battery and a physical keyboard.
- Cheers!

The motion-capture technology was used to capture the movements of the actors. These clips were then visually transformed to mutate them into the turtles we see onscreen. As Jonathan explained, "Motion capture is a process by which you take an actor's performance and translate it into a computer."
"It's so nice to have a living, breathing human being there, who will improve your reactions and switch things up, because you find really great things in those moments," said Megan Fox, who plays the beautiful April O'Neal.
The incredible VFX have made it possible for actors dressed in ninja suits to look like the life-sized green giants. Alan Ritchson, who plays Raphael – the headstrong brother says, "We're really acting these parts out and then there is this incredible technology to transfer what we have done and turn it into a turtle!"
Want some more insight into the process? You're in luck. Paramount Pictures India explains the technology in a brand new video:
The studio also gave us a glimpse into the making of Wiz Khalifa's music video for the film:
Are you as excited for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as we are? The film releases on August 29.

Today, remember those you've lost. Today, tomorrow and always, remember to love those who are still in your life.
How is your Memorial Day weekend going? I hope you are enjoying your hot dogs, BBQ, potato salad, beer and (if you live somewhere other than Oregon) the beautiful sunshine. Oh wait! I just saw a patch of blue sky!! That was fun. Maybe there will be another one later. Like in July.
Perfect timing - here it is Memorial Day and just last Saturday I received my first mortuary postcard in a "What the ???" postcard swap on Swap-bot. The sender had a couple of good suggestions for what to write on this card.
1. Wish you were here
2. Guess who died
Mottell's Mortuary, Long Beach, California
OK, time to hop on the train and go sightseeing! Let's hit a few art museums today.
I really want one of those mushroom hats.
Next is a 1990 work by Dutch painter Abraham "Ab" van Hanegem. Odd, yes, I know. Lemon modeling isn't much in demand these days, so these little guys will take anything they can get. One of them even agreed to pose partially nude.
Now Pablo Picasso's 1913 painting "Guitar and Violin". He seem to have ended up with a Viotar, or maybe a Guilin. Whatever...it's probably hard to find a good teacher.
And "The Breakfast Room" c. 1930-31 by Pierre Bonnard. After waiting around for hours while Pierre finished his painting, his family was finally overcome with hunger and headed for the Pancake House.
This is the Happy Pancake Dance!
Time to load up the car and go home. Don't forget your balloons!

Guard Yourselves from Idols!
Richard Hollerman
There seems to be a basic tendency of man to reject the true and living God and to fashion idols or false gods of their own imagination. Constantly through history, God called people back to a pure worship of Him, the unseen God and Creator, and away from their own imagined deities. The prophets pointed out that the false gods were worshiped by means of the grossest of immorality, whereas our Creator God demands purity and holiness!
We may think of the pharaohs of Egypt and their claim to deity. Idolatry was also rampant in Cannanite religion, in Assyria, in Babylon, in Persia, in Greece, and in Rome. All of this constituted a rejection of the God of creation–the God of the Bible–and a substitute deity of people's own imagination.
Throughout the pre-Christian era, God repeatedly warned His people of the dangers of idolatry. This is worshiping a false god or an image of a false god. In the Ten Commandments given on Sinai, Yahweh God declared in the very first of the commands, You shall have no other gods before Me (Exodus 20:3). This was repeated some forty years later after the wilderness wanderings (Deuteronomy 5:7).
God, through Isaiah, declared the He is the only true God and all contenders are merely images of false gods that have no substance (Isaiah 41:4; 42:5, 8; 43:7, 10; 44:6, 9-20; 45:5-7). Paul went so far as to say that when the pagans offer sacrifices to their false gods, actually they are involved in Satanic activity: They sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons (1 Corinthians 10:20).
Because it is basic to Gods revelation from the very beginning, we can understand how John the apostle could issue this succinct command: Little children, guard yourselves from idols (1 John 5:21). This echoes Pauls command: By beloved, flee from idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:14). He also stated that idolatry expresses a foolish heart that is darkened, and this will bring spiritual death (Romans 1:18-23, 32). So serious is this that Scripture says those who commit idolatry of any kind cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21) but will have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8; cf. 22:15).
Whether we speak of guarding ourselves from idols or fleeing from them, God abhors idolatry and the making of images! Perhaps some of our readers are thinking of Hinduism with their rampant idolatry and over 300 million gods.
Maybe some are thinking of Buddhism with the colossal images of Buddha that are found throughout south-eastern Asia.
And still others may be thinking of Catholicism with their images of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, angels, and Catholic saints. They do bow down to these images and worship them, although they claim that the intrinsic nature of the images remains stone, wood, or precious metal.
All of this is condemned by God and we must flee from them and guard ourselves from them.
But there is another form of idolatry that is even more rampant than Hindu, Buddhist, and Catholic imagery. I refer to the matter of conceiving of God in a way different from the way He is depicted in His revealed and inspired Word. For instance, some think of God only in terms of love since Scripture says that God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). But they tend to overlook the fact that God is also holy (Revelation 4:8), righteous (John 17:25), and filled with wrath on those in sin (Romans 1:18). If we conceive of God differently from the true and living God of reality and of Scripture, we become idolaters!
Another form of idolatry has to do with making someone or something a god in our life. We may not consciously bow down before an altar erected for such gods, but in our hearts we become idolaters when we elevate anything or anyone to a position higher than what God would want. Jesus said, You shall worship the LORD your God, and serve Him only (Matthew 4:10). If we worship and serve something else, we are practicing a common form of idolatry.
One way that many practice idolatry is through the sin of covetousness or greed. Paul says that a covetous man is an idolater (Ephesians 5:5). He says that greed is a sin that amounts to idolatry (Colossians 3:5). When we eagerly want or desire or covet things, we commit idolatry! But how many people condemn the Hindus and Buddhists for their literal idolatry when they, themselves, are guilty of this more subtle form that God hates!
A related way that we become idolaters is to focus on riches. Christ said, No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth [mammon] (Matthew 6:24; cf. Luke 16:13).
It is no wonder that Paul could write, Those who want o get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil (1 Timothy 6:9, 10a; cf. Mark 10:21-27). Are we dominated by a love of money? Do we eagerly seek more and more money, not to satisfy basic needs of food and clothes, but because we want the worlds riches?
In another place, the apostle referred to certain enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things (Philippians 3:19). Appetite here can be translated belly. Peoples appetites take the priority in their lives. What about you?
When He walked on earth, Jesus said to the large crowds who followed Him, If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple (Luke 14:26; cf. Matthew 10:34-37). Isnt it true that even these legitimate relationships can provide an opportunity for idolatry? A father or mother may attempt to put a son or daughter before God or may prevent their child from following Jesus or some of His teachings. A husband or wife could demand ultimate allegiance of their spouse and be unwilling to acknowledge that Jesus must always come first.
Ones children can become the idols of a father or mother when they indulge that child at the expense of holy living. Or a child may become so much of a dominating aspect to the life of a parent that there isnt time left to read the Bible, reach out with the gospel, or help a brother or sister in need. Ones brothers or sisters could also be given a devotion that only God should have. "Family idolatry" is a problem in our contemporary society, even among those who want to avoid the neopaganism of our world. Interestingly, our Lord also indicated that our own life can become the chief consideration of our time and devotion. We can become idolaters of self!
Paul described the pagans in Romans 1. He said that they worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen (v. 25). They literally worshiped images of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures (v. 23). But in another sense, it is possible to worship and serve the creature by focusing on ourselves and our own body. We are quite narcissistic in our outlook sometimes. We want others to notice us, to give to us, to adore us, to elevate us, to praise us, to applaud us. Also, we may so pamper our bodies with expensive food, with expensive exercise equipment, with lavish vacations, with all kinds of facial creams, hair dressing, and makeup, that, in effect, we are worshiping ourselves or our physical bodies.
Our Lord said, Do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on (Matthew 6:25a). However, these are the very matters that are the focus of attention for most people. They constantly think about what they will eat, what they will drink, and what they will wear.
While some in Jesus audience may have been so poor they couldnt afford much food or drink or many clothes, today it would seem that people think about these things in a different way. They fill their mind with foodwhat restaurant to visit next, what recipe to try next, or what fast food to eat next. Some constantly think of the beer, wine, or liquor that is available to drink. Others are addicted to womens magazines and fashion magazines, filling their mind with new clothes and the latest attire. Regardless of the cost, they are determined to wear only the best name brand clothes for, they reason, nothing is too good for their tastes. All of this constitutes idolatry!
What has become your idol? Are you addicted to entertainmentmaybe the computer, computer games, television, or music? Are you addicted to sportsbaseball, football, soccer, basketball, or golf?
Are you addicted to food or clothing? Are you addicted to cars and trucks? Are you addicted to household furnishings? Maybe your addition or gods are the vacations you take to exotic and interesting places. Idolatry has become so popular in our culture that people speak of sports idols, Hollywood idols, movie idols, and TV idols!
Name your idol and realize that at the heart of this is idolatry. You are worshiping and serving a false god that will drag you down to Hell!
Remember the warnings of God in Scripture: Guard yourselves from idols (1 John 5:21). Flee from idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:14). Lets be like the Christians in Thessalonica who turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God (1 Thessalonians 1:9). Will you choose your idolsyour false godsor will you choose the true and living God who is worthy of your ultimate and eternal worship (Joshua 24:15)? What will it be for you?

Children's book giveaway: Lulu the Lion Cub Learns to Roar - A Cosmic Kids Yoga Adventure
Are your kids always looking for something to read? Our book giveaways are a great way for them to discover new favourites. This week we have 50 copies of a story to teach children yoga - apply for yours below!
This giveaway is sponsored by Watkins Publishing
About the book
Join Jaime from the Cosmic Kids YouTube channel to help Lulu the Lion Cub manage her feelings and find her roar. Copy Jaime and learn yoga while you act out the story - it's easy!
Fly to the grasslands of Tanzania in Africa for lots of yoga fun. Lulu the lion cub has not yet learned how to roar. This makes her feel really frustrated and angry. With the help of Mindy the chimp, Ernie the elephant, George the giraffe and her other friends, Lulu learns ways of dealing with her anger and she finally finds that roar… just when danger threatens them all.
The Cosmic Kids Yoga Adventure books allow kids to take yoga at their own pace, to do it away from the screen, and develop their reading ability. To make the story come to life, the children act it out by doing the yoga moves. This makes it a lot of fun and provides children with a great, balanced yoga routine. They can come back to it again and again, copy the yoga photos, and read the instructions to become more skilled and develop their own yoga practice. By singing along and making fun sounds as you do the moves, you can remind children of the poses while the songs help capture the message of the story.
These books also offer practical ways to deal with common issues experienced by children – such as frustration or bullying – so they can call upon those techniques when similar real-life situations occur.

With Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell telling the Charleston Post & Courier Thursday that he plans to step down next week, the question arises: Who will replace him as South Carolina's Number 2 position?
But it appears real question is: Will anyone replace him?
Under South Carolina's constitution, the Senate President Pro Tempore is required to resign his position and become lieutenant governor once the office becomes vacant. McConnell himself did exactly that in 2012. But the man currently holding that post says he won't make the same commitment only five months before Election Day.
"I would prefer to remain in the South Carolina Senate," Sen. John Courson, R-Richland, said when reached Friday. "The vacancy would be temporary. The primaries to replace the lieutenant governor will be taking place in less than 10 days (June 10). Then you've got the fall elections."
Four Republicans (Columbia businessman Mike Campbell, former state Attorney General Henry McMaster, Charleston real estate developer Pat McKinney, pastor Ray Moore) and one Democrat (State Rep. Bakari Sellers) are seeking to replace McConnell this November.
But Gov. Nikki Haley says South Carolina shouldn't be without a lieutenant governor between June and next January. According to the Associated Press, Haley told reporters in Charleston that Courson may be required to step into the state's soon-to-be vacant seat.
Courson said there is precedence for the Lt. Governor's office to be vacant for a few months. No one held the position in the late 1960s when a similar situation arose. He said there is no need for him to take the largely-ceremonial office. The lieutenant governor's primary duty is presiding over the Senate, which will likely adjourn for the year after June. He adds that the Senate pro tempore is still the next in line should something happen to the governor.
The lieutenant governor also oversees the state Office on Aging.

District 7-6A Football Preview - Euless
Sep 18, 2014 11:40AM
● By Mike
You know what you're getting every year with Euless Trinity. The Trojans are going to have massive linemen in the trenches on both sides of the ball and a potent rushing attack. 2014 is no different. Euless Trinity returns six starters on defense including defensive linemen Chris Daniels (6-3, 280) and Tipa Galeai (6-5, 215), who is attracting interest from numerous colleges across the country. The Trojans did lose their leader in the heart of the defense in linebacker Inoke Ngalo, who signed with SMU, but Tobias Natee is ready to take over after an all-district season a year ago. As mentioned, Euless Trinity's bread and butter on offense is its ground game. The Trojans line up in the Multiple-I and dare teams to stop running back 1,300-yard rusher Ja'Ron Wilson and physical fullback Tyler Natee. Paving the way for the two backs will be Patrick Vahe, one of the top offensive linemen in the state and a Texas commit. While the Trojans should be very much in the in the district title race, head coach Steve Lineweaver admitted that he's concerned about having an inexperienced quarterback running the show.

Net Profits: How to List Your Jewelry Business on Yelp
Not many jewelers put much effort into their Yelp listing, other than to check that the address and phone number are correct. And I don't know any independent studio jewelers who are posting Yelp business listings themselves.
But if you have a studio and open it occasionally to customers, you are within your rights to register as a business owner on Yelp and get that free listing and powerful link-back to your website.
Nearly three-quarters of consumers searching online for a local business turn to review sites now, and Yelp is a major player. This year, Yelp made the list of the top 20 apps downloaded and used in the U.S.
"Every business owner should be claiming their free business owner account, uploading photos, and writing about the business because that's going to help their overall search engine optimization," says Emily Washcovick, a spokesperson for Yelp's business outreach team.
A great place to start is by downloading Yelp's ebook guide for business owners. Among other things, it covers best practices for getting your business online, personalizing your online storefront, managing your online reputation, and describes what the Yelp community looks like.
It's pretty easy — and did I mention free? — to register your business on Yelp. Just go here and fill out the form. Businesses that list hours of operation do best on Yelp, so if you occasionally open your studio to customers, consider designating a certain time slot for that and listing that as your official hours. This can help legitimize your business and push it up in search rankings.
And post those photos of your jewelry! Business pages with 10 or more photos see 200 percent more user views every single day, Emily says.
Once you're listed, tread carefully about soliciting reviews. Yelp employs an algorithm to remove reviews written by business owners about their own firms and filters reviews it suspects are written by business owners' employees, friends, and family. Emily suggests linking to your Yelp listing from your website and using the free stickers they send on request.
"Things like linking from the Yelp page to your website and vice versa, from your site to Yelp, are going to help your search engine optimization value," she says. "We have a lot of SEO clout. We're a big company with a lot of content, so these listings come up in almost any category you search."
So, what are you waiting for? Do it! And let us know how it goes in the Comments section below.

Big Boulder from Packer Saddle, California
The Big Boulder trail is arguably the best descent off the Packer Saddle shuttle drop off, but you'll need to do some climbing to earn it! Less skilled riders will likely have a tough time with this downhill trail, but those with advanced skills who love fast, flowing, long, continuous descents will be itching to do it again and again.
Dogs: Leashed
This ride from Packer Saddle starts on a fire road, but leads to some truly excellent singletrack.
The navigation is a little tricky as there is no signage for Big Boulder until you cross Pauley Creek, so until then follow the directions for Pauley Creek. Then you have to be mindful of the unmarked fork about half way through the climb where you take a left, I believe the marker says OHV trail or something similar for the trail to the left whereas it says nothing for the section going straight. When in doubt, use the MTB Project mobile app!
More details
You can take either of the two trails that split off the top, they reconnect before you get to the fire road. At the fire road, take a right and stay on it (don't stray at any intersection) until you get to the Pauley creek turn off. Once you cross Pauly Creek (it's a large meadow) you'll climb out of the creek and then watch for the Big Boulder turn off on your right. Keep climbing until you come to another fork. The trail you want to take is the option on the left; there is a sign proclaiming it an OHV trail; that's the only confirmation you'll have once heading towards Big Boulder.
At the very top of the climb, you can practice pedal kicks off the fallen log or hike up to the ridge for some photos. Then pedal up and enjoy the long, fast and flowy descent toward Third Divide. There is one punchy climb, in the beginning of the ride, you'll likely walk it unless you're the 1% of people willing to ride. It's all ripping fun until you get to Lavezolla road and head toward First Divide.
At the intersection of Third Divide, you may want to head uphill instead of down to connect with Second Divide.

For this review we decided to check out the Cat and Dog S7260 made by Miele. This "Cat and Dog" vacuum really lived up to it's name. When it comes to Engineering a vacuum for pet hair the Germans can't be beat!
The Cat and Dog is built upon the same frame as the other Miele S7 series upright vacuums. This model has some very nice additional features that lend to the pet vacuum moniker.
Powerful Suction – This vac. has some serious suction. The motor is a full 1,200 Watts and is called the Miele Vortex Motor. This powerful motor is designed and manufactured in Germany by Miele. The motor provides more than enough power to suck pet hair from any depth of carpet. It comes with a full 7 year warranty.
Electrobrush Motor – The separate 4,800 RPM brush motor is a really nice touch. It has it's own dedicated motor so it won't steal power from the suction. The 4,800 RPM motor powers a very well designed beater brush. It is able to remove hair from deep down in shag carpet. The motor can be turned off when the vacuum is used on hardwood floors.
Rotary Dial Vacuum Flow Adjustment – We really like the vacuum flow feature. It isn't full automatic like the Sebo X4, but sometimes it's nice to choose your own suction. The dial is located under the handle and is very easy to use while vacuuming. There are 6 air flow settings, which is more than enough. The lowest setting can be used for delicate cleaning jobs such as draperies.
Automatic Height Adjustment – The height adjustment feature is similiar to the Dyson DC41. It is a passive spring loaded mechanism that does a very good job. The Cat and Dog has no problem going from medium pile carpet to hardwood floors.
Massive Cleaning Radius – This vacuum has a very large cleaning radius at 54 feet. The Cat and Dog achieves this impressive reach with a 39 foot cord and a 12 foot stretch hose.
Lay Flat SwivelNeck Design – The Miele S7 series have a patented swivel neck design that makes vacuuming under low furniture a breeze. The swivel neck design allows the Cat and Dog to lay completely flat. In addition to the Swivel Neck design the Miele Cat and Dog has 360 degree swivel casters. The combined features gives the Cat and Dog extremely good maneuverability.
Motor Filter – A pre-motor filter is a must have with any pet hair vacuum. It protects the Vortex motor from vacuum debris. The filters are very inexpensive and should be replaced when starting a new case of vacuum bags.
Active Charcoal Clean Air Technology – The Miele Cat and Dog doesn't come with a HEPA filter standard, but can be upgraded for an additional cost. It does come with their "Super Clean" air filter that can filter down to 0.5 microns. It also utilizes an activated charcoal filter. The charcoal filter absorbs odors leaving your home smelling clean.
AirClean Filter Bag – If you want a bagless vacuum then the Cat and Dog is not the vacuum for you. Personally, we like bag vacuums because they are much cleaner when emptying the vacuum. The Miele AirClean filter bags have 9 layers of electrostatic charged materials to help trap dust, pollen and animal dander. We really like the spring loaded, self locking port. The spring loaded port closes secure to ensure that you never breath in any dust when changing bags.
Handheld Mini Turbo Brush – The Turbo Brush is one of the items that sets the Cat and Dog apart from other models in the S7 Series. The brush is very wide at 5 inches and is powered by the vacuum suction. It has a full 120 degree swivel and is very effective at removing pet hair from stairs and furniture.
12′ Stretch Hose and Stainless Steel Extend Wand – Every pet hair vacuum needs a stretch hose and the Cat and Dog delivers. We also like the stainless steel extend wand. The two work together in concert to reach to every conceivable nook and cranny.
Anti Tip Over Feature – The Miele Cat and Dog has a swivel point where the hose attaches to the vacuum. This feature accentuates the vacuum's low center of gravity. When you pull the stretch hose the vacuum will move, but not tip over.
LED Head Lights – Who doesn't like a headlight on their vacuum? The Cat and Dog comes with 8 extremely powerful LED lights. The headlamps come in handy when vacuuming under a couch or behind furniture. It seem ludacris to put lights on a vacuum, but these LEDs really work well.
German Quality – We've got to say that the Miele Cat and Dog is well designed and extremely well built. Miele has manufactured and designed floor care equipment for over eighty years. We really like the air tight, sealed-seam system. It keeps all dust and pet fur in a closed loop system so your home air stays fresh and clean.
The Miele Cat and Dog may be considered by some to be the best vacuum for pet hair. The build quality and ease of use are top notch. The suction is as good as any pet vacuum out there. We really like the sealed Clean Air, sealed system that prevents any dust or particulates from exiting the vacuum.
The Swivel Neck lay-flat technology makes the Cat and Dog more maneuverable than most other vacuums. The stretch hose and stainless steel wand allow you to reach nearly anywhere. The Turbo Brush attachment works well to remove pet hair. The only minus of this vacuum is the fact it uses bags and pre-motor filters. The bags and filters will add to the cost of ownership, but your house will smell clean.

I live in a village, my house is seven kilometres from the CBD in Perth, but East Victoria Park is much more than a suburb, it is a community with village values and most days I remember to be grateful about the choice I made when my husband and I moved back to Perth ten years ago.
I was really reminded of this the other day when I was standing at the self-service checkouts next to an ex-colleague who didn't have her wallet and I paid for her shopping. She said her family cheered for me at dinner that night and when she transferred the money into my bank account she called me the shopping angel. I told my friend about it and she told me that she had bought one of the homeless men of the neighbourhood a juice and a knife earlier that week (he needed it for a BBQ he was attending), because that's what you do in a village, you help people sans judgement.
I know that if I am ever in the situation where I don't have my purse, I will not have to leave my shopping in a trolley and go home and get it, hoping that it hasn't been put back on the shelves. The chances are really high that I will find some-one in the shopping centre who knows me and even if they haven't seen me for a while (because I generally send my husband to the shops), there is a 90 percent chance they will happily pay for my shopping. They know where I live, they know I'm not going anywhere and they know I'll pay them back.
The lovely hipsters at my local coffee shop, Antz, know my coffee order, they also give me free coffee if I forget my purse. I always pay them back, but they would never ask for it, or keep tabs. Once a year everyone pays as much or as little as they like for coffee and the money raised goes to a charity. Most times people pay more than they normally would for a price of coffee. Everyone who goes there for the first time gets their first coffee for free, because that's just the type of community type person the owner, Craig, is.
Our local MLA, Ben Wyatt, is known to everybody and is just a good bloke regardless of what your politics are. He is present. He turns up when he says he is going to, respectfully listens to his constituents and gives away pinwheels each year at the Christmas Street Fair. He has represented us since 2006, I hope he doesn't plan on going anywhere anytime because those shoes, they would be enormous.
Around the corner, my crossfit friend has jars of lollies, like literally five or so jars, always filled with lollies. I was craving them one Christmas and put the word out on Facebook, she told my son and I to come over. We went, we ate lollies, we (not he) had a glass of wine. There are lollies 300 metres from my house at any given time, because she is strong willed and I am not and she has a village mentality. I suspect this might be one of the contributing factors to why she looks like she does crossfit and I do not, still testing that theory though.
Many times I have put the call out for a coffee delivery, I'm never left hanging.
Other times I've been sad or unwell, some-one will appear and clean my kitchen, or deliver lollies (yes, I have a problem), or deliver flowers. I hope people can say the same about me, I think they can.
I asked some friends to tell me what they thought about in relation to our community and aside from what I have mentioned; they raised the awesome initiative of the Little Libraries, the town funded street parties, our local crossfit box, our local library's programs, parklets, the fact that the same security guard has worked at the Park Centre for over 20 years, Twilight Concerts and there's more, but if I go on I'd just be bragging.
As I mentioned earlier, I normally send my husband to the shops. I love my village, but like to meet people on my own terms, but if I am going to bump into people, then I'd rather it be in my village, because I really like the villagers I live with.

9/11 Protests All Aimed At Wrong Target
Posted by ChiefJack Hawk on Friday, September 10, 2010 Under: World News
Tomorrow is September 11, the ninth anniversary of the so-called "attacks" on America, and extremists on both sides of the issue are aiming their slings and arrows at the wrong target. Muslim extremists are mad at the American people, and American extremists are singling out Muslims as hate mongers. As we here at Chief Jack Radio have been saying since the original 9/11, there is only one entity responsible for all this: the United States government and George Bush. Bush has many friends in the armament business, and they were moaning and groaning about losing money because there hadn't been a major war since Vietnam. The Feds then planned a series of "attacks" that could be blamed on Islamic radicals, giving us an excuse to go out there and start a fight, but it had to be something spectacular enough that everybody would be in favor. The three original targets were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the Sears Tower, and at all those targets, things didn't turn out as well as they'd planned, although at the WTC, Bush killed two birds with one stone since Genoa Joe Camino and his employees, who had offices there, were planning a spectacular expose on Bush's administration for us, and by destroying the Towers before Joe released the info, he was able to keep things quiet on that front. There were things eventually pointed out by The Chief and others that cast doubts on the whole situation. First, it's now officially acknowledged by chemists that the jet fuel alone couldn't create a hot enough flame to have weakened the WTC's structure and cause it to collapse. Furthermore, if it HAD collapsed due to the fire, the structure on the impact side would have weakened first and made the buildings collapse sideways, not as we saw in the controlled demolition "pancake" collapses. Also, the second tower to be struck collapsed first because the wrong explosives were triggered ahead of time. As for The Pentagon, it was not struck by a plane, or there would have been much more damage. Only the so-called "official" witnesses reported seeing a "plane" crash into the building---the silence of others was bought one way or the other. On that day, however, there was a naval vessel off the coast of Virginia which fired a missile inland at The Pentagon, and the resulting damage is exactly like that caused by a missile. In order to avoid conflicting reports, every business which had security cameras that could have recorded the missile strike were visited by "men in black" and the cameras and film were confiscated. Finally, that plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was actually a remote controlled aircraft whose initial target was the Sears Tower in Chicago. When it malfunctioned and veered off its destination, unmarked fighter jets tracked it down and shot it out of the sky. Winesses near the site reported seeing the unmarked fighters and told of an explosion in the sky before the plane crashed, and after it smashed in a field, another explosion was heard as the fighter(s) launched missiles that totally wiped out the downed plane in order to prevent the finding of any clues. Next year, on the 10th anniversary, let's finally do justice to those who died on 9/11 by arresting George Bush and trying him in the World Court for his crimes against humanity.

When we left the second hoop house was still in need of a little adjusting, with respect to the bows (ribs of the beast). I expected that at days end we might have the whole thing worked out and the perlin (spine of the beast) in place. To my absolute delight when we got back, Mr. Brandes had single handedly adjusted all of the bows and installed the perlin (which according to the directions is a three person job!).
So we thought we would have a leisurely afternoon on Weeman Road. Ha! The first frosts of the season made it a necessity to dig up the sweet potatoes - and so we did. Digging potatoes is not all as easy as it may appear.hAll things considered they did very well. Certainly they were not our bumper crop, but they did well (we haven't weighed them out yet).
On Tuesday is our "Eat Local Challenge" day. Bon Appetit will be serving great and tasty foods made from healthy ingredients that have traveled no more than 150 miles away. There is some rumor from Dana that perhaps instead of selling the sweet potatoes, that she will make pies and sell those instead. . .

LODD: Mo. Paramedic, 31, dies in his sleep at station
Paramedic Jonathan Noce died during the night after running three calls earlier in the shift
Duty Death: Jonathan Noce - [Festus, Missouri]
End of Service: 05/25/2016
FESTUS, Mo. ― Paramedic Jonathan Noce died in his sleep during a 24-hour shift at the Joachim-Plattin Ambulance District on Wednesday.
"He ran three calls earlier that day," Curt Stueve, JPAD Administrator said. "Then he went to bed around 10 or 11. This morning, the crews went to wake him and he had passed away in his sleep."
Noce, 31, a part-time paramedic for JPAD since 2010 also worked full-time for the Osage County Ambulance District, reported Leader Publications.
"We are very sad and all our thoughts are with his family," Stueve said. "Jonathan has been with us for six years. He was very well-liked by everyone."
The Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an investigation into the cause of death.
Noce is married and has two small children, Stueve said.
This is the first JPAD line-of-duty death.
"This is a shock for everyone that this has happened," Stueve said.

We will see an interesting game
Vladislav Tretiak did not deny that the Russian team will struggle to win the world championships, but at the same time he declared that any medal would be a success
After end of the formal ceremony of the raising of flags of the participants of the 78th Ice Hockey World Championship, the Head of the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia and legendary Soviet goalkeeper, Vladislav Tretiak, appeared in the centre. And it is quite logical, after all, according to many fans and the state of betting shops, the his national team is the favourite for the tournament.
Vladislav Tretiak did not deny that the Russian team will struggle to win the world championships, but at the same time he declared that any medal would be a success.
"I've just spoken with the President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), Renй Fasel, who watched the test match Switzerland-Canada, in which the founders of hockey whitewashed their opponents 4:0," says Mr. Tretiak. "In the composition of the 'maple leaves' are a lot of young players who have already proved themselves. The strong teams are the USA and Sweden. 'Tre Kronor' will be represented in Minsk by 8 hockey players who are playing in the NHL. Therefore, do not think that this tournament will be an easy walk to the podium for anyone. Remember, how last year at the World Championship in Sweden and Finland we lost in a quarterfinal to the American national team — 3:8, which was also experienced and young. Many teams equal in strength will fight in Minsk. I hope that new stars will shine at the IIHF World Championship-2014, while veterans will sparkle with their skill. Whatever happens, we will see some interesting hockey."
Does it mean that this tournament is less important compared to last year's tournament?
Not at all, every young hockey player, the participants of the IIHF World Championship-2014 will want to glorify their own name and to be assured of a national team position not for a year, but for several years. Therefore, I am sure that all players will have high speed and give their maximum dedication. I saw Finland, the Czech Republic and Sweden in 'Euro-tour'. These are potentially strong teams with healthy ambitions.
In all national teams there are many refusals, including the Russians, how optimal is their claim for IIHF World Championship-2014?
In general, this year we did not complain about those who refuse. We have never had them before the Olympic Games, unlike the Swedes and Finns who constantly complain of them. And if we have them, they are necessarily connected with important reasons, for example, traumas. Radulov received a serious trauma, Kovalchuk had an operation and Zaripov has not yet recovered. Therefore, we have not any players who refused because they did not want to play in the national team.
Yet the Internet is full of comments about the best goal-scorer of the KHL and the most valuable play-off hockey player, Sergey Mozyakin, not being in the team.
We consider this question, but, seemingly, it is justified by his state of health. It simply happened so — his error is that it was necessary for him to arrive to the national team and to see the doctors. There are no problems, because the trainers are adequate and understand everything.
But maybe Mozyakin was offended that he was not included in the Olympic team.
I doubt it. The national team had other coaching staff in Sochi. What has Bilyaletdinov to do with Znarok?! That was an absolutely different team. I think that we have not offended any hockey player.
Has the team managed to prepare and to approach the World Championship being fully armed?
We will see. I was at the training in Novogorsk and in Sochi. Both goalkeepers, and forwards and defenders have prepared seriously. Certainly, Switzerland is very serious contender, and the first duel of the group stage will be very difficult for us.
It seemed that Russians perceive this team somewhat indifferently, but it was the silver medallist last year.
Earlier this was true, but after last year's 'silver' in Sweden and Finland, it is necessary to be fully prepared for the Swedish players.

text: Hi Guys! Just though that I'd post this article from our local paper about the fundraiser that I worked at all this weekend. I got to have a picture in the paper (and it isn't too hideous or anything, always a relief!) plus the article raises awareness about a really good cause (Dogs Deserve Better -- a group that works to stop animal abuse, especially the chaining of dogs outside w/o proper shelter, water, or love). I think it's neat b/c there are so many organizations that work to help homeless animals -- who certainly need help! -- but not as many helping to end abuse.

As a company with deep experience in natural hazard modeling, we understand clearly that no single model will be optimal for estimating damage and loss in all events. The scientific literature offers a wide variety of valid modeling approaches to answer the challenges of simulating complex natural hazard events.
Kinetic Analysis' MPRES modeling platform offers a wide range of model component options for simulating meteorologic and seismic events. By employing multiple combinations of these modeling components, we can produce multiple reasonable estimates of the hazards produced by an event. For example, in modeling tropical cyclones, using different wind and friction modules will produce different but related results for the simulated storm wind field. Similarly, a range of damage functions are available for translating hazard forces into damage and loss estimates.
By generating damage and loss estimates for a portfolio of assets, using multiple model combinations for each event, we can better understand the range of reasonable loss estimates for an asset or group of assets. This information can be used to help quantify the uncertainty associated with model selection, or for evaluating estimates or modeling from other sources.
Using this ensemble modeling functionality, Kinetic Analysis provided the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology risk arbiter services to evaluate the risk modeling solutions provided by other companies in support of property insurance pricing in the State of Florida. For the Florida analysis, we evaluated loss estimates from over 1,000 model combinations for 150 years of historical Atlantic tropical storms to produce county-level loss ranges for evaluating model submissions.
