As an extension center, no formal contract was initiated between the U.S. Army and UAB. Rather a "Memorandum of Agreement" was drafted and approved by the president of UAB and the Professor of Military Science (PMS) of the University of Alabama. This agreement directed the operation of an extension center predicated on academic credit for ROTC, university support facilities and equal opportunity to compete for ROTC scholarships with VA students.
The program grew from 12 cadets in September 1980 to 35 in September 1983. Officer production increased from four commissionees in FY '81 to 17 in FY '83. The program continued to show such significant potential that in October 1983 UAB applied for and received designation as a host institution.
Once designated as a host institution, the cadre strength increased from three officers and one NCO to a total authorized strength of four officers and four NCOs. This increase in cadre personnel allowed the department to expand its cadet enrollment by enrolling and recruiting from other local universities. Starting in the Fall of 1984, cadre began teaching MS I thru MS IV at the University of Montevallo. The detachment also established cross enrollment agreements with Miles College, Samford University, Birmingham Southern College, and Jefferson State Community College.
In the fall of 1983 a Ranger Platoon was established with an initial participation of three cadets. In the fall of 1985 the Cadet Corps was organized and recognized by the school's Student Government Association (SGA) as an official student organization.

Happy belated New Year everyone... I spent New Years Eve watching Home Alone and Holiday Inn with my Dad which is a tradition of ours (though Home Alone was a new movie added to our list... usually we just watch Holiday Inn, White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street (the black and white one)) I had forgotten how funny Home Alone is and watching it reminded me of my Nana who took me and my Brother to see the movie back when it was first released to theaters... She's been gone for a few years now so it was nice to kind of have her memory with me as I brought in the new year! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2013!

Nothing you do could possibly drag this out more than I have. How many years has it been now?
I should probably give an update, such as it is. I currently keep on finding a couple of weeks of intermittent time to work on this, then it goes on the backburner again for six months. That's where I'm stuck again right now, but in my last "burst" two months back, I got full digital data+audio ripping, with intact TOC, lead-in, and lead-out, with full subcode data, working in an automated fashion. I need to use a multi-pass approach, takes around 12 hours per disc, per side, but the digital process is proven and in the bag. I've even got multi-pass error correction and subcode verification written, so I can use multiple rips and multiple disks to error correct. That all works a treat, and I'm ready to mass-rip all the digital data from all the disks, but I got stuck again when looking at doing a clean video rip, still trying to get a good solution to get the codes buried in the vblank region. I was looking at doing a software decoding approach, based on the info here:
I picked up a compatible card, hooked the approproate raw RF point on my player, and was about to build the linux drivers and get a test rip done, but then ran out of time to work on it again. That's where I'm up to, most likely won't have a chance to look at it again until March at the earliest.

10.4 Uncollectible Amounts
(Last Modified on February 9, 2015)
Senate Bill 73, codified as OCGA Section 50-16-18, provides state agencies with a mechanism for writing off debts of an immaterial nature owed to the state. The materiality threshold, as specified by the legislation, is "$3,000.00 or less for the institutions of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia."
This legislation authorizes state agencies and departments
…to develop appropriate standards, in conjunction with the Department of Audits and Accounts, which will provide a mechanism to consider administratively discharging any obligation or charge in favor of such agency or department when such obligation or charge is ….. $3,000 or any lesser amount for the institutions of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
The following standards or procedures should be followed when writing off receivables that qualify under this statute.
Collection of receivables is primarily a responsibility of the institution. Amounts not collected through routine follow-up should be referred to collection agencies for further collection effort. In addition, presidents and chief business officers are authorized to file actions in small claims courts for the collection of debts over which they have administrative control. Adequate information concerning the age of outstanding bills and claims is essential for proper overall control of accounts receivable and related reserves for bad debts. Therefore:
Aging information must be collected, maintained, reported, and acted upon in a standardized and consistent manner.
Levels of effort in record keeping and collection must be commensurate with collection value. See Section 10.7.4
In general, bills must be collected as expeditiously as possible, but the cost of collection must not be allowed to exceed the expected revenue. Accounting data gathering systems must recognize and preclude situations in which collection effort and potential benefits become imbalanced.
10.4.1 Provision for Bad Debts
(Last Modified on February 9, 2015)
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires that bad debts be treated as a contra-revenue rather than an expense for financial reporting purposes. Budgetary reporting for Georgia also allows for like treatment for bad debts. This treatment effectively reduces revenue for debts that are not probable for collection. In order that realized revenue will be reflected properly, bad debts must be regularly recognized in the accounts of the University System as follows:
All uncollectible accounts will be reserved as specific accounts are aged and consequently deemed to be uncollectible. Generally, debts aged more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the due date are no longer probable for collection. Circumstances may arise when specific accounts become uncollectible earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days.
Note: Due date is defined as follows:
- For student accounts, the due date is the first day of classes for the term.
- For non-student accounts, the due date is generally thirty (30) days after the invoice date.
- A student account due date may be modified to the date that financial aid is withdrawn in order to give the student and institution an opportunity to locate other payment arrangements.
Accounts receivable should be analyzed and accounted for monthly as appropriate, no less than quarterly.
All uncollectible accounts aged more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the due date should be reserved as an uncollectible account. This is the time by which collection agency efforts should commence.
Once an invoice is determined to be uncollectible, either before or by the one hundred eighty (180) day past due date, all invoices within that account should be reserved as an uncollectible account.
When uncollectible accounts are reserved, a funding source must be identified to fund the reserve. GASB requires that revenue-generated transactions, which generate accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible, should be reversed. This methodology is the correct method for both budgetary and GAAP financial reporting. Georgia Annotated Code 50-16-18 allows for true write-off of uncollectible receivables for $3,000 or less.
In order to accomplish the appropriate recognition of revenue, the following method will be used: The Allowance for Doubtful Revenue (Contra Revenue) account should be debited and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable (Contra Accounts Receivable) account should be credited. This effectively reverses the revenue from current year operations for both budgetary accounting and GAAP reporting.
The Contra-Revenue entry ensures that the uncollectible account amount is not spent. For budgetary reporting purposes, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable (Contra Receivable) is reported as a Net Asset reserve and not as a reduction to Accounts Receivable.
This method will be used regardless of the amount of each uncollectible account. As approved by the state auditors under Procedural Directive 17 (July 21, 1992), "fund integrity must be maintained at all times with regard to the uncollectible accounts".
When accounts receivable of $3,000 or less are ultimately determined uncollectible and due diligence for collection has taken place, the Accounts Receivable account should be credited and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable account should be debited. This eliminates the receivable from the books of the campus in compliance with Georgia law.
Note: Due diligence is defined as the performance of both:
- Collection efforts by the institution according to the minimum guidelines in Section 10.7.4, and
- Collection agency efforts, subject to cost vs. benefit assessment by the institution.
Write-off of receivables is based upon the aggregate of the debtor, not on individual transactions. For example, a student may owe $4,000 in aggregate, with ten transactions of which no single transaction exceeds $3,000. In this case, the $4,000 cannot be written-off.
The accounts receivable should be analyzed to determine if all receivables aged more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the due date are collectible. After due diligence collection efforts, the bad debts (less than or equal to $3,000) should be written off as follows:
- Against existing Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable account, as described in item #6 above, or
- Against the contra-revenue account if the account was not previously reserved.
The entries for uncollectible Accounts Receivable and the funding source for those amounts can be summarized in the following table: Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
For accounts receivable write-offs resulting from non-revenue transactions, such as cash advances, there is no offsetting revenue. Therefore, the accounting entry should debit the bad debts expense account and credit the receivable account.
10.4.2 Death of a Debtor
(Last Modified on December 29, 2010)
A claim against the estate of a Georgia resident must be prepared in accordance with specific regulations and filed within six (6) months after first publication of notice to creditors. Therefore, in order to assure that the University System's interests are fully protected, help from the institution's general counsel or the USO, as appropriate, is to be sought whenever an institution receives notification that a person owing money to the institution has died. Potential claims against deceased nonresidents are to be referred to the institution's general counsel for guidance. All tuition and fees shall be refunded and the revenue transaction reversed in the event of the death of a student at any time during the academic session. Refer to Section 7.3.5, Refunds, of the BoR Policy Manual.
10.4.3 Other – Accounting Issues for Uncollectible Accounts Federal Funds
(Last Modified on January 10, 2011)
Federal receivables resulting from contract and grant activity are to be considered, for write-off purposes, as disallowed charges. The funding source for disallowed charges is indirect cost recoveries (revenue). The account number for indirect cost recoveries is 4721xx. Other receivables from the federal government such as tuition, fees, veterans' processing allowances, etc., that result in uncollectible accounts will qualify for one of the categories described in Section 10.4.1, item numbers 1 through 6, depending on the credit side of the entry setting up the receivable.
Unrecorded Receivables
From time to time it may be possible that amounts due the University System may not be recorded in any account. For instance, it may not be practical or cost efficient to maintain a perpetual subsidiary account balance for small dollar receivable amounts, such as parking fines and library fines. Write-offs of these accounts would therefore not be necessary. However, controls must be in place to ensure that:
- Reasonable collection efforts are made.
- Proper/independent supervisory personnel approve any non-collection.
- Non-collection approval is documented.
Loan Funds
When loans advanced from loan funds are determined to be uncollectible and have been approved for write-off, they are to be written off either against the specific fund from which the loan has been advanced or against campus current funds, if any are available.
Punitive Damages – Bad Checks
When punitive damages have been collected from the writer of a bad check, the amount is to be recorded as income of the fund receiving the credit when the receivable was established. The cost of the collection effort may be recorded as an expense of the same fund.
Recoveries will be recorded by reversing the entry made to create the allowance for uncollectible accounts, with the exception of uncollectible accounts charged to bad debts expense. Recoveries of this nature will be recorded as miscellaneous income.
10.4.4 Assigning Receivables to Third Party Collection Agencies Write-off Policy
(Last Modified on February 9, 2015)
Uncollected accounts are to be considered as bad debts and, if less than or equal to $3,000, written off within thirty (30) days after notification by a collection agency that collection efforts have been exhausted. Before that point, institutions should consider reserving at least the portion of the account balance that will be kept as the collection fee by the collection agency, if the entire balance is not already reserved.
Authority to approve writing off of uncollectible accounts in the categories shown above has been delegated to the chief business officers for their respective institutions, and to the Vice Chancellor for Fiscal Affairs for the University System Office (USO). Final approval for write-offs must be made by the State Accounting Office. See Sections 10.7.6 and 10.7.7
Collection Agencies
In order to maximize collection effectiveness, accounts should be referred to a collection agency as soon as the collection efforts specified in Sections 10.7.1 and 10.7.2, are completed. Unless there has been evidence of good faith intention to pay, an uncollected account should be referred for collection when it has become more than one hundred twenty (120) days and less than one hundred eighty (180) days past the due date. Collection agencies should not retain accounts more than twelve (12) months unless there is evidence that collection is imminent.
See Georgia Unannotated Code 10-1-382 for Georgia state law regarding collection agencies.

Skin Types
DermAllay (THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!!!)
After all of my research I finally came across Dermallay which immediately caught my eye because they claim "No burning and No blistering" !! They had my attention that's for sure, but with our extensive history of failed molluscum remedies I wasn't going to blindly believe them! (Plus it was not the cheapest remedy either!)
I found a lot forums, blogs, reviews in which parents spoke of its success and raving about how it was pain free. What got me the most was that there were so many people who were in the exact situation as I was, tried it as a last resort and it actually worked!
I called the company because there wasn't too much information on their page and they couldn't have been more helpful and comforting! They confirmed and assured me that the Dermallay would not hurt and explained exactly how it was to be applied which seemed fairly simple to me!
They told me it takes total 4-6 weeks depending on how long the molluscum has been there for the dermallay to get rid of the bumps completely. They also explained to me the same things the dermatologist did as far as not being in standing water etc. ANNDDD they told the one thing I thought no one could offer… IT IS SAFE TO USE ON MY KID'S FACE!!!!
Oh, I forgot to add, they had a specific one for babies so that was definitely a plus!
The cost was about $26, they waived the $4-$5 shipping fee, and offered another $10 off mail in rebate if I sent in a testimonial whether it was positive or negative feedback! I went ahead and ordered only one bottle to try of the older kid formula for Matthew because I wasn't 100% sold on it yet and the toddler formula is $20. (I know, I'm cheap!)
Anyways I got the bottle of Dermallay in the mail, only like 3 days later which was nice, and started that night.
After Matthew took his shower I put a drop directly onto one of the groups of bumps, gritted my teeth, waited for the screams and to my (pleasant) surprise… IT DID NOT STING!!!!! I think I was more relieved than Matthew!
Now fair warning, it's a liquid so obviously very runny, and until you rub it in all the way it will stain whatever it touches! I had to find out the hard way 😦
So I rubbed the dermallay on all the bumps… and there were approx. 80 at this point
***(the way you know you're doing it right is if when you rub it goes from dark cherry red to like a creamy white and then you keep rubbing and it starts turning brownish red and gets sticky and then like 2 secs later it dries and is almost skin color… I had to call to find out because the directions were a bit confusing)***
and I did this two times a day and I would say within 5-6 days the bumps were visibly shrinking!!
It wasn't for another 2 weeks that the bumps started turning into scabs (which is around the time I went ahead and ordered some for Kate) but the point is they did, and in the end I think it took around 7 weeks total for ALL of them to be gone. Most were cleared up within 4 weeks but there about 10 of them that were very stubborn!
Kate's experience with Dermallay:
So with Kate it was so much easier! I don't know if it was because she used the toddler's version of Dermallay, because she was younger and her skin responded better, or just luck but regardless the reason it worked quick! Under 4 weeks quick!
The dermallay made her skin a shade or two darker on the areas applied (it came off as soon as you wash the area!) which I think is because she has a very light skin complexion but that was the only "negative" thing that happened with her.
So finally about 14 months after our initial molluscum bump we found an answer and it was all gone!!!
Except apparently for me!!! After over a year of touching them and being exposed to the virus without ever contracting it I got it then!! I could only laugh because this is just my luck!!
There wasn't enough left in Matthew's bottle so I bought another one from the dermallay website. The one thing I noticed, although it did end up going away, is that took a bit longer to work on me considering I treated it within 5 days of the molluscum appearing. It took overall just under 8 weeks for mine to go away. I've read that it's a lot harder to cure on adults than children due to the skin and there's obviously some truth to that!
So I hope that this has helped with YOUR research! I'd love for others to share their experiences on here too, what worked for them, what didn't, because I wish I would have found a blog like this when I was frantically trying to get rid of the molluscum in my house!!!
If you go on their website: www.mydermallay.com and go to the "Healthcare Professionals" tab, there's a link/pdf that says "Patient Coupon" and it offers free shipping! I figure every dollar helps and that's $4 right there!! The coupon code is AADNEW but I would check to make sure it doesn't change.
I will definitely post more information as I find it as far as molluscum cures go! Good luck everyone… Hopefully you don't go through what we did 🙂
Zymaderm (Basically Tea Tree Oil in a Bottle)
So after taking a break from being the worst mom of the year trying to rid my kids of molluscum, I started doing more research around summertime of the following year.
My kids' molluscum bumps were still multiplying (although not as quickly as they had at first) and were not showing ANY signs of going away.
I checked into Zymaderm and this time, instead of just going off of what a few people said I really did some digging into the ingredients and their side effects. Well, I'm definitely happy that I did because their main ingredient seems to be tea tree oil… but for over $25. So that being the case I decided to not even try it with the experiences I've had with tea tree oil before.
I found a website which really explains the truth behind Zymaderm to a T, and the following is some content from it:
Their website claims that Zymaderm is FDA-approved. But a quick search of the FDA website for Zymaderm will turn up nothing. The truth is that Zymaderm is NOT APPROVED AS A CURE OR TREATMENT FOR MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM. All that there is to it is that the active ingredients that are found in Zymaderm have been approved separately by the FDA as homeopathic ingredients because they are not medicinal ingredients and are not known to cause harm. So Zymaderm is misleading you by claiming to be FDA-approved, because they make it sound like the cream itself has been approved as a treatment for molluscum, and this is definitely not the case.
The active ingredients of Zymaderm are iodine and tea tree oil. Both these ingredients have been suggested as possible treatments for molluscum, and you can buy them off the counter from your local drugstore. However, I have found that neither ingredient is very effective against molluscum.
They also say to allow 6 MONTHS for it to work… I don't know if I'm willing to pay $25 to wait that long, burn my kid, and it possibly not working!
Anyhow I wanted to give this topic it's own post even though I didn't try it because I would hate for anyone to get fooled by it and tricked out of almost $30!

The state of Tennessee's economic development effort outside the U.S. has returned formally this week to where it was in 1997 with overseas offices pushing Tennessee exports and foreign investment in the state.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty announced Monday, Feb. 11, the new set of eight offices in Mexico, the United Kingdom, China and Germany.
Four of the offices will work on recruiting direct foreign investment in Tennessee while the other four will work on export promotion.
Hagerty, who was in Memphis last week to talk with the editorial board of The Daily News, said Tennessee exports have grown from $10 billion to $30 billion in the last decade because of the currency exchange rate.
"Over the same period, the euro has increased its purchasing power from a dollar perspective by 50 percent," Hagerty said. "The yen's purchasing power has increased by 25 percent."
Hagerty wants to extend export opportunities to small and medium-sized Tennessee businesses with state help in figuring out the export market.
"Tennessee's unique advantage is our location as a logistics hub," Hagerty said, noting the return trip for containers that come into Memphis, in particular, by air, rail, truck and river. "The opportunity for us is to leverage the favorable backhaul economics that occur when you've got to send those containers back to their home. I think that's the unique advantage that Tennessee has."
A transcript of Hagerty's discussion with The Daily News editorial board will be published in the upcoming edition of The Memphis News.
Hagerty, who founded his own merchant bank and private equity firm, said small- to medium-sized businesses will also get assistance from the state in negotiating something that can be trickier than a language barrier or a foreign culture – Washington.
"It's challenging for a small company to go up there and navigate the halls of Washington," he said. "What we are going to do as a state is serve as a stand-in or intermediary for our small companies.
"The federal government can deal with us fine. We'll be able to figure out how to leverage and tap those resources for a small or medium-sized company and really sort of serve as a go-between and demystify the process of exporting, so it's not a bridge too far."
Hagerty was appointed when Bill Haslam took office as governor in 2011 and began decentralizing the state office from what had been an operation that was based in Nashville.
"What we've done is focus on the strategic reasons for companies to be in Tennessee as opposed to using incentives to get them to do something that is not strategic," he said of the administration's economic development pursuit strategy. "The result is we have now got our incentives cost per job down to the lowest level in a decade on top of two record-breaking years. That I think shows that we are moving in the right direction."
Hagerty's comments come as the debate about incentives and tax breaks and freezes offered by local governments is again coming to life.
"Unilateral disarmament while laudable is sometimes challenging from the competitive standpoint," Hagerty said as he talked of competition with other states offering similar incentives. "Each mayor, each city council is challenged to deal with the matrix of different tools that different jurisdictions use to compete against them.
"What I would say to any mayor or city council is this: Your locale has certain strategic advantages. There are reasons for a company to be there beyond the incentive. If the incentive is the only reason the company is coming, be aware of what happens when the incentive burns off."

Read the OSHA citations:
g ONLINE
Federal inspectors on Monday cited DuPont Co. with multiple workplace safety violations related to the January leak of phosgene that killed a worker at the company's Belle plant.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued six serious violations and five other violations. OSHA fined DuPont $43,000.
Among other allegations, OSHA inspectors said DuPont had not completed a thorough analysis of the potential hazards of the phosgene unit where worker Danny Fish was sprayed with poison gas on Jan. 23.
David Michael, assistant labor secretary for OSHA, said there is no excuse for any company - let alone one as big as DuPont - not to have a more "robust worker safety and health program" that includes such hazard reviews.
"Facilities like the Belle plant need active safety and health programs," Michaels said in an interview. "We thought these was very serious. [The violations] obviously led to the death of this worker."
OSHA and various other agencies have focused on the Belle facility for more than six months, after a series of incidents that included a leak of toxic and flammable methyl chloride that went undetected for nearly a week. In the worst of those incidents, Fish, a 32-year-plant veteran, was sprayed with phosgene, a chemical building block used as a poison-gas weapon during World War I.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inspectors cited DuPont in March, saying the hose involved in the phosgene leak was five months overdue to be replaced. The EPA also said the braided-steel hose was the wrong kind of equipment to be used in the first place because of the extremely hazardous nature of phosgene.
Inspectors from the EPA, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board and other agencies have focused on the braided steel hose used to transfer phosgene from 1-ton cylinders to a pesticide production unit.
OSHA alleged that DuPont did not properly inspect the phosgene transfer hoses and did not train workers on the hazards associated with the chemical.
Michaels acknowledged that prior to Fish's death, OSHA had not inspected the Belle plant for nearly five years and had not inspected it for another decade prior to that.
Michaels said that legislation pending in Congress would increase the penalties OSHA could have assessed DuPont, but that even the higher amounts might not be enough to affect the behavior of such a larger company.
"We have to shift the burden of safety and health inspections from OSHA back to the employers," Michaels said. "What we have to do is change the culture of these plants."

Jimi Jamison, the lead vocalist for rock bands Survivor and Cobra, died Sunday night at the age of 63, the band confirmed Monday.
On Facebook, the band wrote: "The entire Survivor family is very shocked and saddened by the passing of our brother Jimi Jamison. Our thoughts, love and prayers go out to his family and friends."
Jamison's booking manager Sally Irwin told TMZ, who broke the news, that the rock singer died of a heart attack while at his home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Survivor released the "Rocky III" theme "Eye of the Tiger," two years before Jamison joined the band. The band's original singer, Dave Bickler, left the group because of polyps on his vocal chords, Variety reported.
Jamison's first album with Survivor was "Vital Signs," which went platinum and spawned the hit singles "I Can't Hold Back," "High on You" and "The Search Is Over.
Jamison had performed with Survivor on August 30 in Morgan Hill, California.

Andy Blackston's boy's basketball teams at Madison Academy in Huntsville, Ala., have been to the 3-A State Championship five of the last six years with two state championships and two runner-up trophies. In addition to developing a perennial state championship program Blackston also serves as the athletic director and as a Bible teacher for freshmen and sophomores.
Blackston played for legendary coach Don Meyer at Lipscomb and also learned a thing or two about coaching and life. Blackston came to Madison Academy after three years as the head women's basketball coach at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., earning Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year for 2003-2004. He also was the head women's basketball coach at the University of Alabama-Huntsville for two years.
Blackston and his wife, Stacy, have two children. Despite his busy schedule Andy took some time to answer a few questions for Lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb?
What years?
Who were your coaches?
"Don Meyer."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"Being with my teammates, developing bonds through the grueling summer basketball camp season and advancing to the NAIA Final Four in 1995 on a team that no one really expected to go that far."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb?
"Don Meyer. I was exposed to a program that taught me how to pursue excellence in every aspect of my life. Coach Meyer invested in me as a person and a student.

"Becoming a Christian and being baptized by my best friend Klint Pleasant, meeting my wife Stacy Glenn and hanging out with my teammates in the dorm."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"The power of Christian community. I was changed for the better, not just by the basketball program, but by the entire community that surrounds and supports Lipscomb."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Randy Harris, because his chapel talks absolutely captivated me. The times that he took outside of class to meet with me and Klint Pleasant to discuss our theological issues helped to shape my faith in immeasurable ways."
Where do you live now?

Who is your employer?
"Madison Academy."
What is your occupation?
"I am the Athletic Director, varsity boys basketball coach and a Bible teacher for the 9th and 10th grades."

But among evangelical Christians, scoffers are a minority group. The majority group might be what the book of Proverbs dubs "the simple". The simple confuse strong faith with the absence of doubt, resulting in a lobotomized, night-of-the-living-dead kind of brainless submission to self-proclaimed authorities. Promoting a life of faith, in other words, is tantamount to encouraging you to ignore your own experiences, swallow your questions, keep your objections to yourself and continue pretending that life really works the way your theology says it does even when it's obvious to you that it doesn't. This is a kind of faith which is very much like the flu – it swells the eyes shut and plugs the ears so that the only clear voice to be heard is our own: and it's singing, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." While our lives are burning down, the simple cue the violins. For the simple, faith is an alternative to reality.
But this sort of faith betrays a superficial acquaintance with the Biblical story. The most cursory glance at Genesis or Kings will yield not a few tantrums, a lot of panicking and a metric ton of confusion – but very rarely do we see the kind of bland spirituality some call strong faith, the kind of faith which meets every challenge with an effortless: "As you wish, Lord. Your will be done!" Does that sound like Moses to you? Or David (or Jeremiah, or Habakkuk)? If so, it's time to revisit some of those stories. In fact, Genesis 32 foreshadows the strange distinguishing mark of God's people; struggle. It is because Jacob wrestled with God that the text says he is renamed "
There's a whole section in our Bible that's dedicated to grappling with the hard questions about what we believe. It's called "The Wisdom literature" – Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. It questions what other parts of Scripture take for granted. Genesis 3 says that sin is the cause of all human misery. But in Psalm 73 and most of the book of Ecclesiastes the authors ask, "Why then do evil people seem to prosper and enjoy life so much?" Deuteronomy, the theological center of the Old Testament, says that living for God will generally bring blessing and disobedience will generally bring cursing – but Job isn't so sure. In presenting these challenging questions to the theology presented in other books of the Bible wisdom literature isn't invalidating these other traditions as wrong or contradictory. They're inviting us to honestly struggle with a God who can't be contained by theology or neatly harmonized with experience. The Scriptures are inviting us to take our faith seriously enough to actually care whether the things we read make sense in real life. By accepting that invitation, you will enter the world of Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Wesley, Edwards, and all those who've learned that any belief worth having (certainly any relationship worth living and dying for) must survive the titanic struggle of life: the struggle with God Himself.

Today's look is all about newness from Geometry in the form of this pretty sweater called Cozy. I wore it in green, which is a color I don't wear often but I adored this shade and it brought out the color of my favorite Mayfly eyes so I could not pass it up. I paired it up with the new comfy leggings from Piccara for Winter Fair which I love because they are mesh and I could still wear them with mesh boots. Yay for layering! My soft look is thanks to this gorgeous Glam Affair skin for the With Love From Hunt and adding that touch of sparkle is the equally gorgeous necklace from Cae and nails from Shock.

Press Release
For First Time, UN Political Declaration on AIDS Addresses HIV Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
June 10, 2011
New York, N.Y. -- The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) welcomes the progress represented in the new 2011 United Nations Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS, expected to be formally adopted later today at the conclusion of this week's High Level Meeting on AIDS in New York. Issued as a consensus statement with support anticipated from all UN member states, the declaration is the first General Assembly statement on AIDS to explicitly include men who have sex with men (MSM), breaking a pervasive silence about this population at the official level and creating unprecedented opportunities for advocacy to promote MSM health and human rights.
"The inclusion of men who have sex with men and other key populations is a major turning point in the global political discourse that has dominated the first 30 years of global HIV response," said Dr. George Ayala, Executive Officer of the MSMGF. "Political leadership is finally catching up with public health evidence. With HIV rates among MSM now surpassing thirty percent in countries from Asia to the Caribbean, this language is well overdue."
The declaration sets forth a series of principles and recommendations for an enhanced response to HIV. Calling for a tailored, evidence-based approach, the document recognizes that the full realization of human rights for all people is an essential part of the global AIDS response. The declaration also commits to the creation of enabling legal, social and policy frameworks to promote access to essential services, as well as the review of laws and policies that adversely impact the equitable delivery of HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
By adopting these and other strategies, the declaration makes a number of time-bound commitments, including reaching 15 million people with anti-retroviral drugs by 2015.
The negotiations leading up to the adoption of the declaration considered questions of culture, sovereignty, and religious values, and a number of provisions included in the final text could potentially undermine or dilute a targeted focus on MSM and other key populations. In addition, while the declaration acknowledges MSM, sex workers, and people who inject drugs by name, transgender people were omitted from the document despite infection rates of over 30% in some locations.
"There is obviously a long way to go," said Dr. Ayala. "The document is not perfect, but it makes strong commitments to very important goals and sets forth a number of solid principles to achieve them. It is now up to civil society to work together to hold governments accountable. The prevention and treatment goals enshrined in this document cannot be met unless the global AIDS response is re-shaped to address MSM and other key populations."

Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
I want the upper half to be like the action figure. Also, toy line eyes instead of staction eyes.
I don't think the two choices were sufficient for Mantenna's case... The vintage toy has a buff buck with unique tooling. I hope they give him the same treatment they gave Leech. I picked bulky body.
a slimmer buck.
a slim buck could be used for other figures
Regular, bulky body is preferable with slender legs, an upper muscular body with slender toned legs.
Frankly I want as much uniformity as possible in as much as a buck is concerned. I'm not saying I want them all to use the same parts or sculpt, just that even if Mantenna got a unique sculpted top, that it basically be the same buck like the rest of the unique sculpts. Frankly the "tight suit" top on King Hisss kinda dissapointed me in that I thought it would be a unique sculpt, but if it made it cheaper and therefore feasible to do a better figure, great.
Do the same For Mantenna. I kinda hope that is what was done with Leech.
Mind you I thought this question was more important as for the legs. Because He should have the four legs, but I dont want/always hated the single molded dual legs on Mantenna. I'd rather just two legs than that again.
But then again I dont want a centaur. I just cant think of a way to do two sets of legs that will work.
I'm ready to be wowed by teh 4H, and if anyone can do it, and cares enough to do it right, it's them. But I have no idea what will work. I guess if the legs are unnatturally colse to each other with one set in front and one in back.
I just dont know. Maybe if they are thin unique sculpts they will fit together better.
I say slimmer buck. He's based on a praying mantis. They are very sleek and slender. I think ultra-buff Mantenna would be odd. A slimmer buck would also help with the multiple legs situation (doesn't take up as much shelf space) and improved poseability. Some figures have a hard time moving as is because they're a bit too beefy. Especially when the armour goes on them.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
Mantenna's abdomen needs to be much slender then the current male bucks in the MOTUC line. He already needs alot of new tooling if they are going to do him justice with 4 legs. I really hope they base this new buck on the staction.
1. Starburst She-ra (vintage toy variant)
2. Hunga the Harpy
3. Gold God Skeletor (movie skeletor)
4. 200X Evil-Lyn
5. Lady Slither
Slimmer buck, please. They can re-use it for characters like 200X Prince Adam.
Where's the rest of the Vintage New Adventures?
MOTUC wants: KAYO, Hoove, Chef Allen, Catra variants, Starburst She-Ra, Hunga the Harpy
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon, Skystalker, Shecky
Slimmer please, I like figures to have a more unique look and not all be the same. Makes them seem more realistic. Mantennas personality does not suit a buff muscley body. I wouldn't be suprised if the classics Mantenna turns out to be just a taller version of the 80s toy though.
Slimmer buck for sure. Another character that should definitely be uniquely tooled without doubt.
I hope he's done to look like the vintage figure, but with his four legs separated.

I bought the Collector's Edition. I dunno, I love it. One of the best CE's I've bought, and I buy a bunch of them. It has this 2 gig flash drive that looks like some sort of futuristic dog tag, which is probably my favorite extra of the CE. The usb connector for the dog tag shoots in and out when you press this button. Every product Blizzard produces is such quality.

If we have any Madden addicts in here who are planning to buy Madden 11 around when it releases August 10th for the Playstation 3; please PM me your gamer name if you want some decent online competition.

Front Office Manager-the thing that really killed the game for me was putting GM points into Hitting Coach and Pitching Coach. I would see seasons where I would win 130 and 140 games if I maxed out those 2 GM categories. The scouting part of the game was really cool though, and I hope MLB The Show tries to copy that part of FOM.
Madden 11-Never have figured out how to play the PS3 version of Madden. I doubt I'll shell out $60 for Madden again, unless they come up with a franchise mode as good as Head Coach.
I'm also a real big fan of Dragon Age; I just wish they would be coming out with more character customization for Dragon Age 2.
My original PS3 died of the YLOD, so I went and bought a Slim. I just wish you could play PS2 games on it.
Anybody got any tips for baserunning in MLBtheShow...I play online and I can hold my own with the bat, but I just haven't got the basepaths down. Especially when there are multiple guys on base...I end up advancing all of them instead of a specific player and make my self look like an idiot on a regular basis. Its not something you can really practice I guess...does L1 and R1 advance/retreat all runners? I just can't follow the manual on this one. Thanks!
I'm a big fan of MLB The Show (and a die hard gamer, play everything pretty much, mostly 360) and love the road to the show mode. I'm thinking about buying an authentic jersey of my created player named Chubby McGhee (number 99). He's a 5 time MVP, 4 time triple crown winner and a 5 time gold glove recipient. Your thoughts? Lame or game?
edit: I also play WoW, Greymane server, Landfilltwo is my main.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Those of you with "2011" in the Duke Nukem Forver Release Date Pool can now collect your winnings:
The great vaporware saga of Duke Nukem looks to be coming to a close. At PAX this morning, 2K and Gearbox turned gamers loose on the first stage of Duke Nukem Forever. Let me repeat that for the non-believers: Duke Nukem Forever is real and it is an actual playable game. I half-expect to now to see Sasquatch walking down Pike Street in downtown Seattle.

Anyone getting the PS3 Move? I am considering it.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
How's Madden 2011? Thinking of pulling the trigger but it gets pretty bad reviews on Amazon?

Canadians' online surfing habits could be an open book for both the U.S. and Canadian governments if several pieces of legislation in both countries become law, says a U.S. online privacy group.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation released a statement on Wednesday arguing that a proposed new law in the U.S. designed to help fight cyber-threats "is likely to have serious implications for Canadian civil liberties."
The Cyber-Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act (CISPA), which stealthily made it through a U.S. House of Representatives committee last December, gives businesses and the U.S. government the legal immunity they need to share information about Internet users.
Critics call it an end-run around existing privacy laws. The American Civil Liberties Union told The Huffington Post earlier this month that the bill's definition of the data that can be shared with the government is overly broad, and the government would have the ability to use that information, for the most part, as it liked, including using it for criminal investigations without a warrant.
The group also criticized the bill for not requiring the data to be made anonymous before handing it over to the government.
That proposed law could have serious implications for Canada because of the Beyond The Border Initiative Canada signed with the U.S. in February, 2011.
"Somewhat ironically given the borderless nature of the Internet, the Initiative envisions a secure cyber perimeter in addition to the secure physical perimeter it seeks to put in place," the EFF writes.
The EFF notes that the Initiative commits Canada to "real-time information sharing" between cyber-security operations on both sides of the border.
The cross-border partnership "may mean that Canada will have to meet whatever U.S. cybersecurity (read: online spying) regime is ultimately adopted," the advocacy group OpenMedia wrote on its website this week.
The potential jeopardy to Canadians' privacy stemming from the initiative is not lost on Canada's privacy commissioners, who released a joint statement earlier this month calling on the Harper government to "ensure that improvements to Canada-US security and commerce do not jeopardize Canadians' privacy rights."
The commissioners noted that their concerns have so far been ignored in the government's development of the cross-border partnership.
Besides the U.S.-Canadian partnership, the EFF argues that two pieces of legislation working their way through Canada's Parliament, when taken together, essentially mimic the U.S. CISPA bill.
First there is Bill C-12, which "significantly expands" the conditions under which companies can share information about Internet users without customers' consent.
"It will permit telecommunications companies to hand over customer information to any organization seeking it for the purpose of performing 'policing services', a term that is increasingly being applied to public-private cybersecurity partnerships," the EFF wrote.
The other bill is C-30, commonly known as the "online spying" or "lawful access" bill.
The EFF refers to "a provision granting organizations – including telecommunications companies – immunity from 'any criminal or civil liability' if they voluntarily decide to preserve customers' information or share it with law enforcement. This is evocative of the civil and criminal immunity CISPA offers U.S. companies for handing over their users' data to the United States Government."
However, it's uncertain what Bill C-30 will look like when it comes to a final vote in Parliament. The Conservative government sent the bill to committee for major revisions last month, after taking severe criticism from media and the public over its provisions.
(However, digital law expert Michael Geist reported earlier this month that a Parliamentary committee is actually pushing to expand online surveillance powers in the bill, rather than restricting them.)
Signs are also emerging that CISPA could face a backlash, not unlike the SOPA controversy earlier this year, which prompted major websites to go dark in protest of the bill that would have given the government the power to block access, without judicial process, to websites deemed by private companies to be infringing copyright. The Huffington Post participated in the SOPA protest.
The White House strongly criticized CISPA this week, saying it lacked safeguards to protect people's privacy.
And Facebook found itself having to defend coming out in favour of the bill, arguing the legislation is needed for companies to legally share information about cyber-attacks.
"When one company detects an attack, sharing information about that attack promptly with other companies can help protect those other companies and their users from being victimized by the same attack," Facebook stated.
The San Francisco-based EFF has teamed up with several Internet freedom groups, including Canada's OpenMedia and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), in Stop Cyber Spying Week, a series of events planned this week to protest the various legislative efforts to expand government powers online.
Events include a Twitter and letter-writing campaign, which appear to have had an effect: Politico reports that Facebook, IBM and other tech companies backing CISPA have been under verbal attack this week.

Game 1 Box Score l Game 2 Box Score
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – Buoyed by an offense that batted .340 in two games and produced seven extra base-hits and 18 RBIs, the Florida State softball team once again used its power-packed lineup to its advantage as it defeated FIU in a home doubleheader on Tuesday night at JoAnne Graf Field.
The Seminoles (19-8) beat the Panthers (16-13) 11-2 in five innings in game one. Florida State then dropped FIU in game two by a 7-4 score. The victories extend Florida State's season-long win streak to nine games.
"It was another great offensive performance for us," head coach Lonni Alameda said. "We executed in several situations and made the most of our chances with runners on base. It's always good to come away with two wins in a doubleheader and we turn right back around and play another game tomorrow against Tennessee State."
On Tuesday, junior Courtney Senas recorded two more long balls to bring her season total to nine. The number is already tied for ninth on Florida State's single-season list, as the Wahiawa, Hawaii native and reigning ACC Player of the Week recorded a solo home run in each game. Altogether, she finished 3-for-4 on the day with four RBIs, one double, three walks and a sacrifice hit.
Senas now has 12 multiple-hit games this season after finishing 2-for-3 in game one, nearly double the amount of the next Seminole. She has reached base in 13 consecutive games and also leads the team with 10 multiple RBI games.
Overall, Florida State finished 16-for-47 at the plate. The Seminoles were pesky with two outs, going 9-for-19 against FIU while also finishing 8-for-14 with runners in scoring position. Junior Kelly Hensley was one of several Seminoles exploiting run-scoring opportunities, knocking out a three-run home run that gave the Seminoles their ninth mercy-rule win of the season in game one. Hensley went 3-for-8 with four RBIs in both games.
Freshman second baseman Kaitlin Allen recorded her first multiple-hit game as a Seminole in game one, going 2-for-3 with one RBI and one walk. The Seminoles worked the count in both games and forced 12 walks.
Florida State's arms in the circle in Lacey Waldrop (8-3) and Monica Perry (10-5) each earned wins. Waldrop, named the ACC Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday, allowed one earned run on one hit in four innings. Over her last four starts, Waldrop has allowed just five hits, two earned runs and has struck out 35 batters in 21.2 innings pitched.
Perry was also effective in game two, tossing four innings and allowed one earned run with four strikeouts.
FIU scored two runs in the top of the first in game one, as Nicole Rascon's bunt single resulted in a throwing error by Waldrop that allowed preceding runner Brie Rojas to score from first base. Aleim Lopez then brought in another run on an RBI groundout to second base to make the score 2-0.
Florida State fought back with two outs in the bottom of the first inning when Maddie O'Brien lined an RBI double down the right field line to cut the deficit to 2-1. After O'Brien reached third base on a stolen base, Celeste Gomez came through with a chopping single up the middle to score O'Brien and knot the game at 2-2.
The Seminoles scored two more runs in the bottom of the second, once again with two outs. With Kaitlin Allen on third base and Macey Cheatham on second base, Senas hit a two-strike offering into left center for a two-run bloop double.
Morgan Bullock added to the lead in the third inning when she lined an RBI single to right centerfield. Florida State then scored its fifth run of the game with two outs when Kaitlin Allen recorded an RBI single to centerfield to drive in Kirstin Austin, making the score 6-2.
Another two-run inning in the fourth was highlighted by Senas' eighth home run of the season, a solo blast to centerfield. Austin eventually followed with an RBI single through the left side, extending the lead to 8-2.
Hensley provided Florida State its ninth mercy-rule victory of the season when she produced a three-run home run to right center in the fifth inning, effectively ending the contest at 11-2.
In game two, Hensley picked up where she left off by driving in the game's first run on a slow-rolling single that snuck through the right side, bringing home Victoria East to make it 1-0.
With one swing of the bat, FIU responded as Aleim Lopez drove an 0-1 pitch from Perry over the centerfield wall in the top of the second inning to tie the game at 1-1.
Florida State batted around in the bottom of the third inning, scoring six runs on four hits. Senas led off the inning with her ninth home run of the season, and Allen and Alex Kossoff forced bases-loaded walks to bring the score to 4-1. East then produced a big three-run double to right field to add more insurance runs.
FIU notched two runs off a two-run single with two outs in the fifth, then scored another run in the sixth inning on an errant throw from the Seminoles to climb back into the game trailing 7-4.
Redshirt junior reliever Jessica Nori pitched the final 1.2 innings in game two and threw a scoreless seventh inning to record her first save of the season. Nori's save gives her five for her career, putting her in sole possession of fifth place on the school's all-time list.
Florida State returns to JoAnne Graf Field for a game on Wednesday night against Tennessee State. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

The Los Angeles Rams announced they were moving to St Louis. President Clinton gave Mexico $20 billion to bail out the peso. Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson married rock-n-roll bad boy Tommy Lee. And, the Index of Economic Freedom made its debut.
It was 1995.
This month, the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation published the 20th edition of the Index. Its findings starkly rebut President Obama's State of the Union assertion that "opportunity is who we are."
>>> Check Out: The IRS Drive to Silence the Right
As for his claim that "the defining project of our geneation is to restore that promise [of opportunity]. We know where to start" … well, the index suggests otherwise. At least when it comes to this administration.
In every year of the Obama presidency, America has lost ground in economic freedom. When Mr. Obama first entered the Oval Office, the U.S. ranked sixth in the world. This year it dropped out of the Top 10, tumbling into 12th place.
Indeed, economic freedom has declined for seven straight years in America, and it's the longest losing streak of any nation in the world. We are no longer even counted among the world's "free" economies. Two years ago, the Index reported that the U.S. had become merely the land of the "mostly free."
The Bush-era recession can't be blamed for this sorry state of affairs. That recession's impact spread worldwide. Other nations had to grapple with the same challenges, and did so far more successfully.
The president's speech might lead you to believe the decline results from all the stuff Washington hasn't done. But that's got it completely backwards. All of the government initiatives pushed through by the administration — higher taxes, even greater spending and vast new regulatory regimes–have acted like a giant millstone weighing down the American economy.
New and costly regulations in finance, health care and energy sectors have dealt powerful body blows to the economy. Our Index scores have also deteriorated in terms of protection of property rights and freedom from corruption — the kind of problems typically associated with third-world countries.
Reversing the decline would require Washington to do almost the opposite of everything Obama championed in his speech. The path back to a "free" economy would require reducing the size of government, overhauling the tax system, transforming entitlement programs, and rolling back the regulatory chains the White House has clamped on the economy.
Washington can also do much to improve its standing by promoting economic freedom around the world — and that starts with the right trade agenda.
The only trade deals concluded thus far on Obama's watch were leftovers from the Bush era — and the White House held them up to get special treatment for favored constituencies.
Legislation that would give the president "fast track" authority to negotiate trade deals is pending. But fast track makes sense only if it doesn't backtrack on requirements that the president negotiate deals that promote free trade and liberalize markets. There is no legitimate place in trade agreements for crony-capitalist provisions that protect favored industries and unions or push partisan political agendas.
Before the president leaves office, he might well send Congress a new trade deal — the Transpacific Trade Partnership, or TTP — for ratification. The TTP is long overdue, but Congress will need to examine any forthcoming pact closely. While a real free trade deal with Asia would be more than welcome, the administration has been far from transparent about what it's putting in the pact.
Economic freedom is the best engine in the world for creating jobs and prosperity. If America wants more of it, it would do well to wipe the State of the Union address from its memory.
