Taking on Switzerland
I'm back! Back in Switzerland + on my way back to the tiny mountain town I fell in love with a few years ago. I booked my flight to Switzerland as soon as I accepted that winter job in the Colorado Rockies last October. As ridiculous as it seems, I was legitimately concerned I'd get a "real job" [seasonal as it was] + forget how to leave the country. My crazy doesn't always make sense, but this time it got me back to Switzerland so I won't apologize for it! (more…)

•A Message from Mat Staver, our Founder and Chairman•
»This month is not only the beginning of a New Year—it is also the beginning of a new season for Liberty Counsel. The magnitude of the threats to religious liberty, to life, and to marriage is unprecedented in the history of America, and these threats are being felt both within and beyond our borders. At the end of 2014,
I transitioned from nearly nine years of service as Dean of the Liberty University School of Law to focus solely on the mission of the Liberty Counsel family of ministries. I feel like a thoroughbred at the starting gate. I am ready to run the race. We were born, and then born again, for such a time as this!
|This month is more than the beginning of a New Year. This is an entirely new season. We live in truly historic times. People want to see miracles, but most do not want to be placed in a position of having to participate in them. A miracle begins at the point at which human capability ends. There are few miracles experienced during times of ease: Miracles occur during times of trouble!
The inescapable fact is that times of tranquility are seldom memorable. In Judeo-Christian history, we remember the times of adversity that God turned into wonderful and unexpected opportunities.
Pharaoh's brutality was cut short by the Exodus. King David enjoyed many peaceful nights transfixed on the starry Heavens, but we best remember David for the time when, against all odds, he defeated a blaspheming giant against whom he was no physical match.
And then there was the Persian King's decree to kill the Jews that was nullified by Esthers and Mordechai's courageous faith. We remember the three Hebrews because they were delivered from certain death in the fiery furnace. And because Daniel stood fast against the decree of King Nebuchadnezzar, we tell our children the story of "Daniel in the Lion's Den."
Moving to a New Testament example, Peter needed a miracle when he began to sink in the stormy Sea of Galilee. As Jesus rescued him from drowning, Christ's words now ring throughout eternity… "Oh you of
little faith, why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:31.
Each of these miracles has a common theme: adversity brought about the end of human capability. In times of trouble, God's people remained steadfast. They cried to Him for help, and their God intervened!
The threats to the free practice of our faith in America are also being felt around the world. I recently met with Fourteen Eastern Orthodox and Evangelical Russian clergymen. Their story is strikingly similar to the ones of leaders I met in America, Peru, Jamaica, and elsewhere. From the photographer in New Mexico, to the baker in Oregon, to the administrators of Catholic Charities in Massachusetts, the facts change but the story remains the same. Pressure is mounting everywhere, perhaps particularly in America, to force people of faith to promote human genocide, immoral sexual behavior, and secular apostasy.
After working in the 1990s to found Liberty University School of Law and serving as Dean and Professor of Law, I have transitioned to focus all my efforts on Liberty Counsel. I am pleased to report that the law school is in great shape! The foundation has been laid and tested. I hired and trained many godly staff people and prepared them to take the law school to greater heights. But now I must focus all my efforts on the mission of Liberty Counsel.
The timing for this transition is right. The Lord has energized me for the race ahead. We face unprecedented threats, but we serve a Creator who is not intimidated by anything whatsoever!
As you know, Liberty Counsel has many ministry vehicles and projects. In 2015 and beyond, we will fight in the courts, in the halls of Congress, and in state and local law-making bodies. We have launched a new online training initiative called New Revolution Institute to train citizens in the purpose and role of government, the Christian worldview, and citizen activism. This is one of the most exciting developments at Liberty Counsel in many years. When our official launch takes place in late January 2015, I encourage you to sign up for this online training. You can become part of the solution to the increasing threats we face as a nation!
Make no mistake: The intensity of the battle for our culture has come to the point at which every person of faith and who holds Christian values will be forced to make a decision.There are only two choices – compromise or resistance. When confronted with such a choice, there is only one correct decision. After much prayer, both Esther and Daniel knew what they must do.
When a Christian adoption ministry is forced to place children in an overtly sinful environment, it must not comply. When anyone is forced to participate in human genocide, principled resistance is the only option when all other remedies fail.
I have been meditating on the great wisdom contained in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'sLetter from the Birmingham Jail. In it, he wrote: "In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action."
Dr. King reminded us that "there are two types of laws: just and unjust." He then said, "I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all.'"
What is the difference between a just and an unjust law? Dr. King wrote: "A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law."
Dr. King's proposition was not novel. It is rooted in several thousand years of Judeo-Christian teaching and was espoused by Sir William Blackstone, whose writings informed the American Revolution and greatly influenced the thinking and actions of the Founding Fathers.
A law requiring people to participate in human genocide is an unjust law. A law forcing people to participate in, or to celebrate, sexual immorality is an unjust law.
In America today, two opposing worldviews are on the same train track heading toward the other. A collision is inevitable!
But as challenging as the situation has become, with God all things are possible! I am excited about the future because I know Who holds the future. This new season presents an opportunity to come to the end of ourselves and see miracles taking place before our eyes!
The adversity we face can turn around when God's people humble themselves, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. God will hear from Heaven, forgive our sins, and will heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
In this new season, let us stand together and witness the Lord's salvation as Moses did in his generation… "Do not be afraid: Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today" (Exodus 14:13).
Happy New Year, and welcome to the season of miracles we will experience together in 2015!

Of Land and Law: The Politics of Indigenous Sovereignty and Wildlife Conservation in the Northern Rocky Mountains
Publication Date
April 2015
Elizabeth Traube
English (United States)
Centered around two cases, Of Land and Law teases at the intersections of State power, indigenous politics, and wildlife management in the hopes of illuminating how the effects of colonialism continue to impact indigenous peoples, the modern American legal system, and contemporary environmental relationships. Using law as an analytic lens through which to study postcolonial relationships, this essay compares two cases in which American Indian tribal nations have been involved in wildlife management projects. The first case is that of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, who have been fighting for the last ten years to gain management of the National Bison Range in Montana. The second case involves gray wolf reintroduction in Idaho, which has been successfully managed by the Nez Perce tribe since the mid 1990s. Comparing the cases in light of postcolonial theory highlights the ways in our legal system inevitably produces ambiguous outcomes for indigenous peoples, and how there is still much room for improvement when it comes to building cooperative tribal-government relationships.

May I confess something? I've been feeling pretty darn blue this week. Who knows why? Lots of turmoil on the news, scary events in my extended family, and just some general anxiety I feel about the future and how unknown it is right now. On the brighter side, I've found a few great things on the internet this past week that gave me things to think about, but gave me some hope!
1) Do you know Kara Goucher? She is an elite runner who has had SO many setbacks. I've been following her for years and years now. This interview with her was incredible--she is VERY honest (last year, she fought back against a coach who strong-arms athletes to dope, which was a huge risk for her); she is passionate; and she has been through incredibly dramatic disappointments. Even if you're not athletic, there is a lot to learn from her. (Oh, and she's a mom too!)
2) This article talks about how essential self-care is for a stay-at-home parent. The thing that really hit me was at the end of the article, where the author talks about how you'd happily hire a nanny who was energized, fulfilled, and happy, but would be reticent to hire one who was tired, burnt out, and stressed. In order to provide our children with better love, we need to practice self-care--and that usually means a little time away from the kids. She goes through some great ideas and it's a quick read! (Related, this podcast speaks about self-care and how to figure out what helps you the most!)
3) I had the honor of interviewing Sarah from Sassy Red Lipstick a few weeks ago for my podcast, and I love her all the more after seeing her recent post on her growing confidence in swimwear. She writes about the "mental weight" we take on when we worry so much about what we look like, and how acceptance of our bodies frees us of that weight. Sarah also shares what she does to gain that acceptance. Another great read! (Her interview with me, if you're interested!)
4) Related to my faith post from earlier this week, my friend referenced this incredible article her father wrote about how the LDS Church will never be perfect (nor any church, for that matter). It was just what I needed this week and I highly recommend it!
Please share what positive things you've found around the internet lately!

A unanimous Richland County Council denied a rezoning request Tuesday that would have allowed Lexington Medical Center to build a two-doctor clinic near Irmo.
The 3.5-acre site, on Old Tamah Road, is zoned rural. Resident Carol Sloop urged the council to abide by its land-use plan, keeping the area around Dutch Fork High School from urban development.
Two other speakers noted the clinic's proximity to the Palmetto Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital, slated to open next year, leading Lexington Medical's Michael Biediger to say afterwards: "Zoning should not be anti-competitive."
The hospital will continue looking for land in the area, he said.

It looks like either you omitted the classname, or 'portal' is your classname and the lowercase is confusing. Otherwise the spec looks solid. Any guestimate on whether our 1 vote will be enough to get this selected for implementation?

New research from Preqin demonstrates that despite a greater concentration of capital being raised among larger private real estate funds in recent years, smaller funds have often outperformed larger funds. Commercial real estate is one of the areas that can be listed in DealMarket's online platform, and therefore DealMarket Digest's editor is occasionally covering research into that segment.
Funds of less than USD 500mn in size that began investing between 2005 and 2011 have posted median returns of 5.9% compared to 2.3% for funds over USD 1bn in size, according to Preqin. Despite that trend, funds of USD 1bn or more in size raised the lion's share of capital (at 56% of the total capital raised in 2013 compared to 29% of capital the year before). Preqin attributes the seemingly counter-intuitive trend as a result of the risk that often accompanies an investment in smaller newer vehicles.
Many large, established players have strong track records, according to Preqin, so institutional investors are looking to invest with managers that have evidence of generating consistent returns. Preqin added that institutional investors who have the skill and resources to seek out attractive emerging managers have the potential to be rewarded for doing so. (Image source: Preqin)

January 28 2013 Update
SEC Pre-season predictions
The Southeastern Conference released its annual preseason coaches poll on Monday with No. 6 Tennessee picked to win the Eastern Division and Alabama winning the West and the SEC crown.
The Lady Vols also received five conference champion votes from the SEC coaches, putting them second behind only defending national champion and USA Today/NFCA No. 1 Alabama, which garnered eight votes.
The LSU Tigers totaled 28 points behind defending national champion and preseason No. 1 Alabama. The Crimson Tide, winners of the last three SEC regular season titles, also received eight of the possible 13 first place votes for overall champion in this season's preseason poll. Rounding out the SEC West was Texas A&M (31 points), Arkansas (51 points), Mississippi State (56 points), Auburn (63 points) and Ole Miss (74 points).
Points for the poll were awarded on a 1-2-3-4-5-6 basis for the Eastern Division and a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 basis for the Western Division. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team.
The league will begin softball action on Feb. 7 while conference play starts March 8. The 2013 SEC Softball Tournament will be held May 8-11 in Lexington, Ky., at the UK Softball Complex.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – USF has been tabbed the 2013 BIG EAST Softball preseason favorite by the league's 13 head coaches.
USF earned seven first-place votes and 134 overall points in the coaches' poll. Last season, the Bulls finished with a 50-12 overall record and 17-5 BIG EAST mark while finishing third in the regular-season standings. USF reached the Women's College World Series in 2012 and returns three All-BIG EAST selections from last year's team, shortstop Kourtney Salvarola, first baseman Stephanie Medina and pitcher Sara Nevins. Salvarola, a first team selection, hit .407 with 14 RBI in BIG EAST play last season. Nevins, a second team selection, ranked third in the nation with a 1.12 ERA and led the BIG EAST in wins (31) and strikeouts (336).
Notre Dame, the 2012 BIG EAST runner-up, received one first-place vote and 129 points to rank second in the poll. The Fighting Irish finished second in the BIG EAST last season with a 16-3 record and 40-16 overall mark and return four All-BIG EAST selections including the 2012 Pitcher of the Year, junior Laura Winter. Winter went 13-2 in league play with 12 complete games, four shutouts and a 1.21 ERA. She ranked second in the BIG EAST and 16th in the nation in strikeouts, recording 287. Joining her are three 2012 All-BIG EAST Second Team selections: catcher/utility Amy Buntin, shortstop Chloe Saganowich and rightfielder Kelsey Thornton. Notre Dame has finished conference play in the top-two spots in each of the previous four seasons.
Ranking third in the preseason poll is reigning BIG EAST Champion Louisville with four first-place votes and 128 points. The Cardinals claimed the BIG EAST regular-season and championship titles in 2012. They finished with a 55-5 overall mark and a 20-2 conference record. The 2012 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year loses two All-BIG EAST First Team selections from a year ago but returns seven all-conference selections. Catcher/utility Taner Fowler and first baseman Alicja Wolny were first-team selections last season while second baseman Katie Keller and pitcher Caralisa Connell were named to the second team. Three third-team selections, including the BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Player, outfielder Jordan Trimble, return for 2013. Joining Trimble are outfielder Jennifer Esteban and shortstop Whitney Arion.
DePaul recorded one first-place vote and 117 points to place fourth in the preseason poll. Since joining the BIG EAST in 2006, the Blue Demons have captured three regular-season titles. They finished fifth in the league last season with a 14-8 record and 36-22 overall mark. DePaul returns pitcher/first baseman Kirsten Verdun.

Both players enter their sophomore seasons in 2013.
With 71 points, Pittsburgh earned the No. 7 slot in this year's poll. The Panthers went 8-14 in BIG EAST action a year ago with a 26-26 overall record. Three of the team's top returners played in all 22 conference games last year and are led by 2012 All-BIG EAST Third Team catcher Holly Stevens.
St. John's landed just below Pittsburgh in the eighth spot with 70 points. St. John's placed sixth in the final regular season standings last year with a 10-12 record and 23-34 overall mark.

Women's National Team
The official USA Softball web site indicates that a time and place for a national team selection camp is still to be determined. USA Softball is committed to playing in its host cup, the World Cup in Oklahoma City on July 13-14. And shows another TBD for the Canadian Open Fastpitch tournament in Surrey BC.
No further word on the Junior national team.
Fortunately, the men's team found an independent sponsor for its camp.
Dunne to Oklahoma State
After helping the Mississippi State softball team reach the NCAA Tournament this past spring, volunteer assistant coach Kelsi Dunne has accepted a position as the pitching coach for Oklahoma State University, MSU Head Coach Vann Stuedeman announced Thursday morning.
"Kelsi helped our 2012 staff lower our ERA by two runs a game from the previous season and she will be sorely missed," said Stuedeman. "She is like a daughter to me and I could not be more proud of her and excited for her." In her first year in a coaching capacity, Dunne helped the same five Bulldog pitchers lower their school-record high 4.90 ERA from 2011 to a much more manageable 2.88 clip this past spring. As a volunteer, Dunne helped create pitching game plans, develop pitchers in the circle on a daily basis and served as a pitcher for the MSU offense in batting practice. Dunne starred at Alabama, when Stuedeman was pitching coach.

Most wood utilized either inside or outside the home for development and inside stylistic layout reasons for existing is lovely in its own specific manner in any case, to many individuals, recovered wood offers something additional extraordinary.
Hardwood floors, framing, columns and other trim work that has been around for quite a long time, even hundreds of years now and again, all appear to have their own particular stories to tell after each one of those times of faithful administration.

The dominant part of such deck is delightful to see, each board having its own particular and extraordinary appeal that no one but age can give.
Similarly as with any hot pattern however, there are a lot of recovered hardwood flooring impersonations hitting the market also. The most widely recognized are really present day built hardwoods composed and designed to have that vintage look finish with fascinating grains and uneven surfaces.
As an independent item, these built reasons to get hardwood installation hardwood vintage floors do without a doubt convey their own appeal. Nonetheless, they are no match for credible recovered wood that has stood the trial of time over numerous years and designed wood is positively not as "green".
On the off chance that you are in the market for recovered wood flooring most ground surface showrooms and sales representatives will let you know sincerely regardless of whether the recovered deck they have at a bargain is authentic or built. There are constantly maybe a couple scalawags however who will attempt to pass a built item off as the normally rather more costly genuine article.
On the off chance that you have any questions, ask the sales representative where the wood originated from, as a great part of the honest to goodness recovered hardwood accompanies confirmation that time to get to work archives the inception of the wood and a few subtle elements on its recuperation.
Hardwood flooring establishment can add excellence and appeal to any home and are definitely justified even despite the underlying venture to introduce. Among the many favorable circumstances over covering incorporate the simplicity of cleaning, a more drawn out life expectancy and less chemicals being discharged into your condition.
In case you're as of now sold on the possibility of wood floors in your home your next choice is most likely focused on choosing who ought to do the hardwood flooring establishment. Would it be advisable for you to endeavor this employment yourself or contract an expert to do it?
Home change shows may make this errand look simple and you might be enticed to introduce the hardwood flooring your self, however depend on it, it requires a specific level of carpentry aptitudes to appropriately introduce hardwood floors legitimately.
A couple of the greatest oversights individuals make in endeavoring to carry out these occupations themselves includes not envisioning the level of trouble included.

The deck should be kept inside a similar room it will be introduced into adapt to the room's temperature. This is on account of the deck is a hygroscopic material that progressions its shape and size with the room's stickiness and temperature. At the extremely least the deck ought to be permitted to sit for four days before establishment so it acclimates to the room. In a perfect world on the off chance that you need to accomplish the most ideal outcomes it ought to sit for two weeks to adapt. On the off chance that you avoid this progression your introduced ground surface will never lay right regardless of what your expertise level in establishment might be.
Another essential stride that numerous first time home installers miss is in having the correct apparatuses for hardwood flooring establishment. In the event that you have the ground surface introduced by experts they will come furnished with the majority of the devices required for an appropriate employment. The majority of these apparatuses are not going to be instruments you will have lying around the house so it requires an extra interest in leasing or purchasing unique nailing machines, some pneumatically controlled, and a rotor with a strength bit to make grooves.
What's more, obviously the whole establishment process may seem straightforward yet there are a couple of little-known techniques that guarantee your completed introduced flooring gives the fantasy of a consistent bit of work The issue is numerous mortgage holders feel they can get the expertise as they carry out the employment, which is consistent with some degree yet the occupation will likewise look defective and rather than your floor being a feature of magnificence and appeal it will be an exhibit of errors.
In the event that you have never introduced hardwood ground surface and do not have the instruments, hand's on information and carpentry aptitudes, you might need to consider subbing the employment out to a deck contractual worker so your completed venture increases the value of your home as opposed to taking it away.

Transnational corporations, in this case in particular British - South African Anglo American are exposed in a new report issued by Friends of the Earth International, Corporate Europe Observatory and the Transnational Institute for promoting false solutions to climate change in order to profit from the crisis.
The report titled "Anglo American´s dirty energy lobby and its false climate solutions" examines the activities of this mining giant and focuses on one of the world´s largest open-pit mines, El Cerrejon, in La Guajira, Colombia.
The new paper was launched on December 8 in Lima, capital of Peru, in the framework of the UN talks on climate change that took place from December 1st to December 14th.
"Anglo American profits from false solutions to the climate crisis such as carbon trading and carbon capture and storage, which benefit big business but not people or the planet", states the press release issued on December 8th by Friends of the Earth International. "Anglo American continues to expand its climate-wrecking dirty business model while using green funds, offset mechanisms and dodgy techno-fixes to present a green image".
According to activist Pascoe Sabido of the Corporate Europe Observatory, the British – South African company "has aggressively lobbied against subsidies for renewables because it favors dirty energies such as coal and shale gas", and it has "lobby groups" with "privileged access" to decision makers.
Meanwhile, Lyda Forero, member of the Transnational Institute said that "mining in El Cerrejón has brought land grabbing, dispossession and water scarcity to La Guajira in Colombia, and has been denounced by indigenous, peasant, and Afro-Colombian communities. El Cerrejón exports all the coal extracted while leaving behind human and environmental rights violations."
Also, Friends of the Earth International´s Economic Justice Resisting Neoliberalism Program Coordinator, Lucia Ortiz, stated that "the interests of corporations such as Anglo American clearly come before the people's interests at the climate talks and this is outrageous. Anglo American is well known for the massive impacts of its
unsustainable mining operations. Decision makers should listen to the people, not to corporate polluters", she added.
Some of the real solutions to the climate crisis raised by Friends of the Earth International include drastic green house gas emission reductions, stopping fossil fuel extraction, changing the energy model to give way to decentralized and community-based renewable energy sources, stopping deforestation and promoting community forest management, food sovereignty, among other things.

Plumbing Materials and their Uses in the Restaurant Industry
Plumbing is a versatile area in home construction and management that involves a wide range of applications geared towards ensuring efficient water and liquid supply. This means that materials used in plumbing are also diverse with each specific type of material serving its own separate function. Understanding different types of plumbing materials that plumbing professionals use is a great step towards ensuring adequate preparation as you hope to install or repair your home water supply system. Below is a brief discussion of basic plumbing materials and their uses for common plumbing functions.
Pipes refer to different tubular materials with varying size, material and other features used for different specific applications in plumbing. The most commonly used pipes in plumbing include cast iron, galvanized steel and galvanized iron. These three types of pipes are used for drainage, vent systems and water. Cast iron for instance, is used in water pipes, vent pipes, soil pipes, traps and sewers.
Fitting s are metallic links with different sizes used to connect, divide, divert or return the flow of water in different pieces of pipes with or without a change in the pipe direction. Their sizes and material vary depending on the size of the pipes they are connecting.
Insulating Materials
These are materials used to for thermal regulation e.g., to prevent pipe systems from losing heat where it is necessary. Similarly, insulating materials are used to safeguard residents from burns and other associated risks. Common materials used for insulation in plumbing include asbestos, cork, hair and wool felt and other mineral insulators such as mineral wool and mica.
Lead is another versatile plumbing material. You are likely to encounter lead pipes in most plumbing installations. Different types of lead such as molten lead and sheet lead are used for different applications. For instance, sheet lead is utilized as a waterproof material while molten lead is an essential material for sealing of joints especially in cast iron pipes.
Vitrified Clay Pipe
This is a common material used in sewer systems. It is most preferred because plumbers find it easier to make it in larger sizes and can also withstand nearly all forms of corrosion.
Hangers are basically pipe supporters. They are used to support pipes especially those running along the ceilings or walls. They are either bought in different shapes and sizes or can simply be improvised from lumbar frames or iron piping. They are important in maintaining the running of long piping without weakening at the joints or sagging.
During plumbing you may require different hardware supplies such as nails, screws, gaskets etc. Most of these hardware supplies are made of iron, steel and rubber and are used for different functions depending o the specific plumbing function.
Flexrock Packing
Flexrock packing is a metallic self-lubricating, self-forming pack. It is mostly used for sealing of the junctions of pipes that are imperfect or which are vulnerable to leaking. This is often used in central texas, which are areas prone to flooding. It can also be used to stop leaking in the deck faucet, slip joint connections, radiator valves etc.
This is a loose, stringy fiber used for packing joints and seam when caulking. Oakum is forced into the jointed pipe hubs with caulking irons in order to form a seal before leading.
Copper tubing
This tubing is used to effectively convey cold and hot water because it is resistant to corrosion unless it is attacked by water-soluble gases. Both brass and bronze pipes are preferred for this function especially where corrosion is likely to occur.
In a nutshell, materials used for plumbing are diverse. The above described are just a few of them. However, they are basic. Depending on the specific type of plumbing, it is necessary to pre-assemble materials for effective plumbing process.

IMSATO - In My Studied And Thoughtful Opinion
IMSATO - In My Studied And Thoughtful Opinion
September 10, 2012
By Julie Kay Smithson, researcher firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't use drugs (including alcohol or tobacco), but recognize that a "War on Drugs" or a "War on Terra" (the way G.W. Bush pronounces "Terror") is profit motivated, with no intention of "winning" an actual war.
There must also have been a "War on Education" and a "War on Common Sense" -- because both were surely lost while shoving gazillions of greenbacks at "studies" to figure out what was wrong, thereby creating vast wealth and power, both of which were unearned.
For those who have tasted Liberty, Freedom has a Flavor that the Protected will never know -- and that's the truth. It means using one's backbone for something functional, not decorative.
In my studied and thoughtful opinion, what is wrong lies in the mistaken belief that "both" political parties sleep in different beds in D.C.
Cher's song, "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" perfectly described the hooligans that profess to "lead" while selling out the very tenets under which our beloved country was forged.
I am neither conservative nor liberal; I am independent, with a free-thinking mind that is not paralyzed by emotion.
Language deception is the stalking horse of liberty, the kiss of death of our Republic, and a way to bring a country and her people to their knees 'without firing a shot.' For those who have tasted Liberty, Freedom has a Flavor that the Protected will never know -- and that's the truth.

The Team dresses for the event
Each member of the Ghana Initiative team was presented with a HOPE Child Development Center shirt or dress for the Children's Day event! The outfits were custom made by a tailor in the town. Everyone was excited to see what was to come! The final photo in this gallery shows Randy B. being measured for his shirt.
Songs, Dances, poems and skits
The children at HOPE CDC shared dance routines, poems, skits about school and the importance of every child getting an education and monologues with the parents, dignitaries and GI team. It was all very well done. The children should be pleased with themselves for a job well done!
time to give our offering/donation to HOPe
let's dance!!
The GI team joins in the celebration by dancing with the children and staff. It was loads of fun.
Children Dance and entertain!
An end to a super day!
We ended our day with some shopping. The children had made beautiful beaded jewelry and flip flops for us to purchase. Then we headed for the Makola Market in the center of Accra. The market was nearly three miles across and packed with shoppers and most anything you may wish to buy. Our dinner was a traditional Ghanaian meal.

The proposed merger of United and Continental airlines is unlikely to raise fares in the short term, industry experts say, even though it would create the world's largest airline. The deal would, however, make United the only choice for travelers on certain routes at 17 U.S. airports, including Chicago O'Hare, Cleveland, Denver International, Honolulu, Houston, […]

Lymphatic System
Blood supplies nutrients and metabolites to tissues, and also collects back the waste products that they produce through a system of exchange mediated through interstitial fluid. This fluid occupies the spaces between the cells and acts as their immediate environment, and as a result of its intermediary function its composition continually changes. The lymphatic vessels and capillaries allow exchange between water and solutes across their walls and facilitate the formation of lymph, a clear fluid. As such, the lymphatic system is a network of conduits that carry lymph, and is part of a system that includes all of the structures dedicated to the circulation and production of lymphocytes.
Lymphatic vessels produce regular spontaneous contractions which serve to propel fluid from the intersititum back to the general circulation. These contractions are preceded by action potential complexes which initiate the phasic contractions and research has focused on determining the underlying ion channels and mechanisms involved in this activity and how it can be influenced by neurotransmitters and potentially by drugs.
This mechanism of action, showing the role of intrinsic contractions of the lymph ducts as the essential propulsion mechanism in mammals was first shown by ICBC's Director, Professor Noel McHale. His contribution to this field is recognized around the world as underpinning the fundamentals of lymphatic physiology.
Further, research at the Smooth Muscle Research Centre has used a combination of intracellular microelectrode and patch clamp recordings to characterise the main ionic conductance present in lymphatic smooth muscle and examine the contribution of each current to the electrical and mechanical activity of lymphatic vessels.
We have shown that lymphatic smooth muscle shares a number of similarities with other smooth muscle, and also with cardiac muscle which is quite unexpected. As such, the cells possess fast sodium current and calcium (T-type) current as well as a hyperpolarisation activated current. The Centre was the first to characterise this hyperpolarisation current, which appears to play an important role in the modulation of the slow pacemaker potential observed with intracellular recordings, which may modulate the frequency of pumping. Of particular interest was the observation that this cesium sensitive current was only observed in approximately 5% of cells studied, suggesting that lymphatic smooth muscle consists of a heterogeneous population of cells. We are able to use immunohistochemistry to distinguish cells on a morphological basis as well as electrophysiological characterisation of the cells of interest. By taking this approach and characterising the main ion channels and their currents, we are able to model the action potential more closely and examine the effects of different stimuli including drugs, observing how they modulate spontaneous contractions within the vessels of the lymphatic system.
This approach has far reaching effects in the treatment of diseases.
