On my desktop computer, the ISP provided software is set to update automatically. Currently it is running McAfee Security Center 11.6.435, McAfee Virus Scan 15.6.231, McAfee Personal Firewall 12.6.186, McAfee Site Advisor 220.127.116.11.
My laptop runs Microsoft Security Essentials, also updated automatically.

"Did you perhaps forget about the Mac Flashback Trojan, from this past April, that infected 600,000 Macs?
No? How about the Mac Leapworm from 2006?
Or the Zlob Trojan from 2007?
Or the MacSweeper from 2008? The Mac's very first Scareware program!
Maybe the OS/XKrowi that installed backdoors in unsuspecting users Macs in 2009?
So, guess you never heard of OpinionSpy from 2010, that collects logins and passwords for bank accounts and whatnot?
In 2011, Mac viruses REALLY got moving with MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity.
Good Ole MacDefender kept evolving and re-infecting Macs as fast as Apple could publish a security fix!
Getting back to Flashback; there are no less than FOURTEEN Variants, as of last Thursday.
Steve Jobs must be so Proud.
My favorite Trojan is the Crisis Trojan, an Equal Opportunity Malware that can infect PCs, Macs and Linux Systems, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!
Written right into the code!!
As this rant amply demonstrates, not only are Macs as prone to malware as any other platform, it has been prone to malware for over a half-dozen years and anyone who thinks Macs have "no virus's" is simply deluding themselves.
Currently, the only suspense in my life, is from waiting to see how fast and how prevalent, malware can begin infecting smartphones. So far, all the working hacks have been theoretical, but it's literally, only a matter of time before one of them makes it into the Wild.
As I've posted on numerous occasions, the two things that all 3 major computing platforms (Win, OS/X & Linux) have in common, is that they ALL use Java and they ALL go to the Web. Get you some Java-Based Malware and get it on the Web and you have the perfect infection (Java) and the perfect carrier, (the Web) working in symbiotic harmony, to trash every computer on the Planet. "
I've been running both Macs and PC's for 25+ years. I've had exactly one Mac virus and that came from a floppy in 1990 or so.
All of that blue stuff in the prior message is alien to pretty much everybody who uses a Mac.
I gave my kids netbooks a few years ago when they were all the rage. Three out of four were loaded with viruses in the first hour, merely by being connected to the internet and before any of the 64 windows "security" updates had been applied. When I restored them, I applied all of the updates before I gave them back. At that point they remained okay as long as the updates were religiously applied. This was XP.
Can Macs get viruses? Of course. Do they? It's extremely rare, almost non-existent.

Don't have time to look up all of them but here is one that I did look up:
You can decide for yourself it the claim of 600,000 user affected is correct or not.
Not being a Mac user, I don't know.
My Norton was giving me messages yesterday - "Norton has blocked...." but it seems to be cleared up now. Sorry I didn't bother to note what the name of the attempted attack was.
Many years ago when I first got this PC, I used the McAfee security suite - and it failed to block malicious invasions three times, each time requiring me to completely wipe and re-load everything. Screw that. Norton's been issue-free.
(I also have the free version of SuperAntiSpyWare - once in a great while that will catch something before Norton does. The free versions of SpyBot and Malwarebytes also have useful tools and do not interfere, usually.)
Verizon (phone/internet ISP) uses McAfee in their systems with dubious results; Verizon even tries to give their version of McAfee to their subscribers - they can't sell it (too well known as an inferior product). I have to wonder if Mr. McAfee was actually in league with the malware writers...
I've used several different families of systems, both at work (aerospace electronics) and at home, for over twenty-five years. Anybody who thinks their computer is immune - regardless of operating system, brand, cost, or size of the screen and number of colors - is an ostrich.
The discussion as to which platform CAN get virus attacks, or even which platform has been attacked at least seven times totally misses the point. When Apple was a very minor player on the home computer market and Windows was the almost unanimous player, lots of folks attacked Windows and didn't bother with Apple. So the threat considered by counting the number of viruses, or the number different infections clearly favored Apple.
To an extent that is still true today. But only to an extent because as Apple has expanded in market share, so has that platform's appeal as a target. When it reaches the point that smartphones become a key target, then Apple's OS is likely to attract more attacks than most any other because of the sheer number of Apple OS users. Android too. Windows Phone not so much due to the piddly number of users.
Now as soon as Win8 propogates widely to computers, tablets, and phones, guess who once again becomes a very attractive target.
Now, you can all argue about the virtues and vices of Flash. I'll go get some more popcorn, or go work on my broken motorcycle.

Teen's Shooting Highlights Racial Tension
President Obama Calls for 'Reflection and Understanding'
FERGUSON, Mo.—The shooting death of an unarmed African-American teenager by a police officer turned into a national discourse on racial tension Tuesday as President Barack Obamaurged people to remember Michael Brown "through reflection and understanding."
"I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions," Mr. Obama said in a statement. "We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds."...

Researchers have argued that closing neighborhood streets and alleys can prevent crime because there is a relationship between street access and crime rates. The details of the argument are as follows:
Research findings are generally consistent with this theory:
Ornate gated entrances to private streets, such as these in St. Louis, can effectively control crime problems, but are not feasible for most crime prevention initiatives.
The rationale for closing streets and alleys in a particular neighborhood is that outsiders commit much of the crime there, either going there specifically to do so or doing so when passing through. But research shows that criminals typically offend quite close to home, so before closing streets, you should check arrest records to make sure that most of the active criminals in the neighborhood are not residents. Otherwise, you cannot justify the closings. If you find that a high proportion of those arrested are indeed outsiders, you then have another worry to deal with: What if the closures do not stop these criminals, but simply displace them elsewhere in your jurisdiction? What have you gained?
In fact, displacement can be advantageous if it stops the neighborhood from reaching a tipping point,6 when minor crimes build up to produce a much more serious problem (the familiar broken windows process). If you prevent the neighborhood from reaching this tipping point, then the savings to the city as a whole will be much greater than the costs of displacement to other neighborhoods. But try telling that to the residents of those other neighborhoods! Fortunately, you wont need to, because research generally shows that displacement is by no means inevitable. Most research shows that if it occurs at all, the crimes displaced are far fewer in number than those prevented.7 This is because some neighborhoods are so attractive to criminals and so full of criminal opportunities that they actually foster crime. It is wrong to think that criminals commit only a certain restricted number of crimes in a specific time period, and stop once they reach those limits. On the contrary, criminals will commit as many crimes as they have the time and energy for, if the crimes are easy to commit, low risk, and profitable. When these conditions change and the rewards of crime decline, or the risks and effort necessary increase, criminals will lower their expectationsas we all must do when opportunities for gain are reduced. This means that street closures do not inevitably result in displacement, and that they can reduce the overall volume of crime.8

Three Fairfield residents and a Tracy man were killed in a head-on crash on a remote section of Highway 12 in San Joaquin County on Monday night.
"Everybody involved was killed, and there were no witnesses so we're still piecing things together," California Highway Patrol Sgt. Kyle Plant said Tuesday.
The Fairfield residents were ages 23, 28 and 31 and were in a silver 2002 Hyundai Elantra. The Tracy man was 42 and driving a white 2012 Toyota Camry.
The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of next of kin.
About 9:10 p.m., the vehicles collided on Highway 12 on Brannan Island just east of the Sacramento County line, Plant said. He described the area as "out in the middle of nowhere."
The Hyundai was found resting on its roof in a ditch. The Toyota was found straddling the east and westbound lanes of the highway.
Both vehicles had major front-end damage.
"It was a head-on collision — headlight to headlight," Plant said.
No one was ejected from the vehicles, and all were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Highway 12 was closed for about 3½ hours for the investigation and removal of the deceased and vehicles.
Officials don't know whether alcohol was a factor in the collision. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the accident can contact the CHP at 209-943-8600.

How-to-grow marijuana classes begin in Boston
Boston Gardener teaching new skill
With the medical marijuana law passed in Massachusetts, prospective patients, caregivers and entrepreneurs are all trying to get educated on everything cannabis.
Boston Gardener looks like a typical garden supply store, specializing in hydroponics, which uses water and light to grow herbs and plants without soil.
But advertisements in a number of publications have brought people to the store every Saturday to learn how to grow medical marijuana. Classes are selling out.
"We teach potential caregivers or dispensary owners, and especially patients, to grow their own medicine at home," said Jon Napoli, owner of Boston Gardener.
But Napoli does not use cannabis plants in the classes. That would still be illegal until dispensaries are licensed to grow and supply medical marijuana.
"Now I use spearmint, basil, tomatoes. With any plant I could give a good demonstration of what you could do with a live plant," said Napoli.
Napoli demonstrated how new clippings develop roots in a hydroponic system that can create any number of clone plants. He was using spearmint.
"But the same principle applies to cannabis," he said.
Napoli hopes to start his own dispensary when the Department of Public Health starts approving applications.
"We have a retail location in Dudley Square ready to go and a grow facility ready to go. We would like to be one of Boston's first cannabis dispensaries," said Napoli.
Even if he's approved, that's likely to be at least a year way. But right now the law does allow medical marijuana patients to grow their own medicine, so long as they have proper approvals from their doctor. Napoli said his classes do them a great service.
"We have cancer patients, and people in chemotherapy treatments. We want to help those patients have access and get the knowledge they need."
Massachusetts law allows for 35 dispensaries across the state. But the Department of Public health plans to have a lengthy period of establishing rules, regulations and licensing.

Denmon, Dixon lead Missouri over Texas Tech 88-84
KANSAS CITY (AP) - Marcus Denmon scored 20 points, leading Missouri past Texas Tech 88-84 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Wednesday night and bringing an end to Pat Knight's time as coach of the Red Raiders.
Knight was fired on Monday, effective whenever Tech was eliminated from the conference tournament. The son of Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, who coached Tech while grooming Pat for the job, finished 50-61 in three disappointing seasons.
Twice Missouri (23-9) had big runs and appeared to pull away. But the Red Raiders (13-19) responded each time and made it close before the Tigers finally nailed down the victory to end a three-game losing streak and advance to a second-round game Thursday against Texas A&M. John Roberson had 28 points for Texas Tech.

First published at "Sea4Pee"
With ratings from last week plummeting through the roof, Bristol shares her life with us again this week.
She is a role model for all young women.
Please enjoy!
Episodes 3 & 4: Bristol, Book, Beach and the Dead Beat
Hi Everybody. I'm Bristol and this is my show.
The show of Me.
The Book of Me.
Levi wrote a book.
It's all my family talks about.
We really hate him.
"Willow, Levi wrote a book".
"What should we do about it?"
"We should call him again."
We've called him 70 times.
I tell him I'll be with my camera crew at the Bouncing Bear
I tell him if he wants to see Tripp he has to come.
Willow is hungry so we go out to eat.
"So, Levi wrote a book."
I was telling her how much I hate him and how awful he is.
Tripp tries to run away.
I didn't even need to get up.
I snagged him back like a fish.
"Levi's such a goon"
"We are running low on ketchup"
"Look what mean things your dad says to mommy."
"I'm going to call him again."
"He must really hate Tripp."
Now that I'm a star, photographers are always taking my picture.
He couldn't keep his eyes off me.
He only turned around and said hello to those LA girls
to be polite.
Tripp was really cranky.
Being a single mom is really hard.
I decided to cheer him up.
"Look! There's those people that hate me and Willow."
"Stick out your tongue and show them your hate!"
"We hate them them and want to punch them."
{{{incoherant babbling}}}
"What the hell is she doing to that kid?"
"Good Boy! We love you now!"
He got cranky again but I gave him his pacifier.
My life is so hard.
Willow left but came back.
Tripp hit her because he's cranky.
It is so hard being a single mom.
Even my dad tells me she is a good for Tripp.
I am very lucky.
We talk about Levi's book again.
I highlighted all the parts I memorized.
It's ok to talk bad about Levi in front of Tripp.
As long as I don't look at him, he can't hear me.
My mom told me that.
I don't think Levi is hot. I have Gino now.
"So, I was thinking that... like maybe I should change
my Facebook status to
in a relationship"
"What exactly does that mean?"
"That you'd be my girl."
"What exactly does that mean?"
I do charity work. It is so much fun.
I got to drove a fork lift all by myself.
I was really scared.
I don't know why more people don't volunteer like me.
I help people.
Levi has ruined my life.
My friends come over.
I read them Levi's book.
We had a blast.
I take my friends to the beach.
We don't swim.
They tell me they think I am cool.
"We love you, Bristol. Let's go shoot Levi's book."
We head to the shooting range.
Who does Levi think he is writing a book?
I take a practice shot.
"Did I hit anything?"
There's the book.
My arms are really fat so I put on my sweatshirt.
I take my sweatshirt off and hit it.
Shooting a book with a gun is not the same as book burning.
I didn't even have a match.
This is going in Tripp's scrapbook.
It's time to meet Levi at Bouncy Bear.
The camera crew is ready.
Willow calls this girl named Sunny that Levi is seeing
to make sure he comes.
"I'm so much prettier than her"
"Where is he?"
I tell the camera people to go home because he never shows.
He hates Tripp.
Willow and I walk home.
Tripp is still cranky but I still read him a book.
I'm so miserable.
The End.
Note by Patrick:
Many thanks, Anne S! You completely outdid yourself on that one. Well done! :-)

Kerry says US releasing millions in aid to Egypt
CAIRO – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the Obama administration is rewarding the Egyptian government with financial aid because of Cairo's promises of economic and political reforms.
Kerry says the U.S. is providing $190 million immediately as part of a larger pledge of $450 million over time.
Kerry says the money reflects Egypt's "extreme needs" and President Mohammed Morsi's commitment to satisfying conditions to close a $4.8 billion package of International Monetary Fund loans.
Kerry also says that a separate $60 million is for a new fund to provide direct support to Egyptian entrepreneurs and young people.
The announcement of the aid came after Kerry's meeting Sunday with Morsi.

You mean vinyl albums or CDs.
Server A: "Yeah, vinyl albums. I have a bunch more at home, but she sent about 40. It was surprisingly cheap to send them as media mail."
Server A: "Yeah, I don't buy CDs any more. If I can't find it on torrent, I'll maybe buy it from apple, but I haven't bought a CD in a long time. Plus, when you buy vinyl, they usually give you the digital version for free."
Nice! Yeah, I got a turntable for Michele for Christmas. I have a really excellent turntable I've had since college, but it's belt drive, so you have to track down new belts every couple years. It's just gotten harder to find the belts over the years.
Server B: "I buy vinyl and have a Crosley turntable, but I don't really use it too much. I just mostly listen to digital."

LONDON - Russia has expelled a British journalist who wrote about allegations the country under Vladimir Putin has become a "virtual mafia state," reports the Guardian newspaper of London.
Luke Harding, the Guardian's Moscow correspondent, is believed to be the first British staff journalist removed from the country since the end of the cold war, the Guardian said.
Harding wrote about Wikileaks cables for the newspaper and included the allegations about the Russia, the Guardian said.
Russia refused to let Harding in when he flew back to Moscow over the weekend after spending two months in London on the Wikileaks reporting, the paper said.
Harding's passport was checked on his arrival, the Guardian said. After 45 minutes in an airport cell, Harding was sent back to the United Kingdom on the first available plane, it said.
His visa was annulled and his passport was returned to him on the plane, the paper said.
All Harding was told by airport security official working for the Federal Border Service was, "For you Russia is closed," the Guardian said.
British government authorities have not been able to learn any details, the paper said.
"This is clearly a very troubling development with serious implications for press freedom, and it is worrying that the Russian government should now kick out reporters of whom they disapprove," said Alan Rusbridger, Guardian editor-in-chief. "Russia's treatment of journalists — both domestic and foreign — is a cause of great concern. We are attempting to establish further details, and are in contact with the Foreign Office."
The Guardian said the last prominent British journalist expelled by Russia was Angus Roxburgh, kicked out in 1989 after then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher asked 11 Russian spies to leave London. Roxburgh returned a few months later after the fall of communism while working for the BBC.
Harding was briefly detained in April 2010 in Ingushetia after a visit to the troubled the Caucasus region, the Guardian said. In May he interviewed the Dagestani father of Mariam Sharipova, a suicide bomber who killed 26 people on the Moscow Metro in March 2010.
In December, a Harding article about WikiLeaks reported that Putin was likely to have known about the planned assassination of former spy Alexander Litvinenko because of the Russian prime minister's "attention to detail," the paper said.
Harding also co-authored a book, "WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy."
"I didn't go out to Russia with any particular agenda and I'm sad to leave under these circumstances," the Guardian quoted Harding as saying. "But I do not think journalists can accept self-censorship."

Micah Johnson has not received any gifts yet
I don't really have anything online, at least not anything I'd like to show because it's so old! Haha.
I heard that my experience at GPRC was similar for other people too, it just zapped the fun out of it. I don't really miss it as much you'd think I would. I don't really have the time or energy to draw anymore.
Wow that's so awesome! The closest I've ever come to being published was when a lady asked me to illustrate a children's book she was writing, but then she never got back to me. I also designed a t-shirt for the summer camp at the Calgary Zoo when I was 14.
I decided to become a comic book artist when I was about 8, and I started drawing some horses. They looked awful, but it's what started it all. At that age I didn't really want to draw graphic novels, I was more interested in the funnies in the newspaper. The first X-men movie was what got me into graphic novels. When I graduated from high school I went to GPRC to work towards my BFA in visual arts, but I didn't even finish the year. It totally took the fun out of it. I want to draw again, but it's not fun anymore. Now when I draw all I can think about is composition and shading, and there's no fun in what I'm doing. I still doodle from time to time, but no works of art.
I have lots of ideas though. My most recent is an early readers book called My Grandparents are Superheroes, and there would be some drawings in there. I don't think I'm good enough at writing though.

Diablo III out on 15 May, pledges Blizzard
In dungeons with drag on
Blizzard will release Diablo III on 15 May. Honest. No, really, it will. No more delays this time.
The World of Warcraft developer said the game, which was originally due to go on sale at the end of 2011 and then early this year, will be given away for free to WoW subscribers who've coughed up in advance for a year's access.
That's one million potential players right there, but only if they've paid by 1 May.
Don your fur codpiece and FIGHT
Everyone else will have to wait and buy it, in either its Standard or Special editions, or as a download. The Special Edition bundles a soundtrack CD, a 'making of…' Blu-ray Disc, a book of pictures and copies of Diablo I and II on a USB stick.
The two versions will retail here for £45/$60 and £70/$100, respectively. It'll cost £45/$60 to download.

A Big Surprise on Gas
You may not believe it, but fuel is more affordable than it was during the early '60s.
Barack Obama thinks the government should intervene on gas prices to "give families some relief," and last week called for releasing 70 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. John McCain proposes an end to the ban on offshore drilling and has pushed for a gas-tax holiday because "we need it, we need it very badly."
But both candidates and the public are evidently unaware of a basic fact: Gasoline is more affordable for American families now than it was in the days of the gas-guzzling muscle cars of the early 1960s. Prices are beginning to come down somewhat, but this was true even when the national average was at its summer peak.
Two-thirds of American voters say they think that the price of gas is "an extremely important political issue," and many believe that it will cause them "serious" financial hardship, according to a recent survey by the Associated Press and Yahoo.
Although it's true that the real (inflation-adjusted) and nominal (posted) prices of gasoline are higher than at any time since World War II, even at the recent peak national average of $4.11 a gallon (California's average Friday was $4.17), gasoline is still more affordable today than it was during the Kennedy administration. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke worries that increasing fuel prices might eat up so much disposable income that it flat-lines consumer spending and tanks the economy. But it's difficult to square that worry with what we call the "affordability index" — the ratio of the average person's disposable income to the price of gasoline.
After studying the average yearly price of gasoline from 1949 to 2007, and assigning the number "1" to the ratio in 1960, we found today's prices comparable to what they were in 1960 (1.35 today to 1.00 in 1960, with a high of 3.32 in 1998). The higher the gasoline affordability index figure, the lower the price of gasoline relative to disposable income.
Consumer anger about rising fuel prices has taken a while to build because, until the last year or so, the increases could be shrugged off as natural year-to-year price variation. Moreover, pump prices still seemed relatively cheap given increases in personal wealth. Personal disposable income since 2000, for instance, has increased by an average of about $4,800 a person. Those very real increases in economic well-being reduced the pain of higher prices at the pump. People didn't notice that real gas prices were higher because the percentage of their income going to the gas station was at an all-time low until recently.
The bad news for politicians is that motorists are noticing now. We are bombarded with reminders, from nightly newscasts to front pages, that gas is more expensive now than it was in the late 1990s. Ask Americans the price of milk, bottled water or orange juice and many won't have a clue. But virtually every American of driving age sees the large signs proclaiming the price of gas at street corners every day, and has watched the dial on the gas pump tick up to $40, then $60 or higher as they fill their tanks. The bill is high, and it is drilled into our heads.
But perception is not reality where gas prices are concerned. By June of this year, disposable income had risen by an average of $1,627 per person over last year's figures, according to the Department of Commerce, while the average person's real expenditures on gasoline increased by about $490. Our incomes are still outpacing gasoline price increases. The problem is that our incomes aren't outpacing the increase in gas prices lumped together with increases in everything else — air conditioning, food, etc. Our homes, meanwhile, are losing value.
But gasoline is more affordable than it was during the early 1960s, an era fondly remembered by many as halcyon days of cheap fuel and gas-guzzling American cars. We're overlooking that context because it's easier to remember 1998, when we saw the lowest inflation-adjusted gasoline prices in recorded history.
Politicians would do well to remember these historical facts, as well as consumer psychology, when discussing gas prices with voters. Failure to do both will likely result in a government eager to score political points with the electorate by doing exactly the wrong thing.

The marker essentially announces that you are about to define or explain the noun to which it is attached, as the following example shows.
친구란 어려울 때 도와줄 수 있는 사람이에요.Dictionaries often show "as for" as an English equivalent of 란/이란, but normally we would not translate it in English. However, in spoken English, we usually show the emphatic nature of the marker by stressing the noun to which 란/이란 is attached and then pausing before continuing on with the definition or explanation of the noun, as demonstrated below:
A friend is someone who helps you in difficult times.
A friend--is someone who helps you in difficult times.In the above example, the boldface type is meant to indicate stress, and the hyphens (dash) are meant to indicate a pause.
Normally, Koreans also pause after the marker 란/이란 before continuing on with the definition or explanation of the word or phrase to which it is attached.

Fish & Loaves: God is not a Withholder.
A few weeks back, I listened to Mars Hill's podcast (the gooder Mars Hill, not the sorely misguided/misogynistic/chauvinistic/homophobic led Mars Hill), and to my great delight they had a guest speaker that morning: the wonderful Ian Morgan Cron. Ian is an Epicsopal Priest and author of books such as Chasing Francis. A friend of mine connected me with Ian back when I got fired from The Grove, and Ian was a blessing and his words were a gift to me at the time. Ian speaks often on the subject of the Eucharist. Communion. Holy Supper. The bread and the wine. And his time at Mars Hill was spent accordingly. His text for the morning was probably not your typical selection when teaching on communion. He chose the story of Jesus feeding the many thousands of people (the only miracle, besides the resurrection, that shows up in all four gospels). We've all probably heard the sermon that focuses on the boy in the story who gives up some barley loaves and a couple sardines. And in that sermon, we are encouraged to give all that we have to Jesus (just like the boy), and no matter how small or insignificant we may think it is, Jesus can do great and mighty things with it.
And I think that is true. There is certainly truth (or Truth, if you must) swirling within that aspect of the narrative.
But Ian did something different with the text. Something I'd never heard suggested before.
He talked about how people in that culture, when traveling great distances (as many in the crowd would have been), would, if they could afford to, travel with plenty of supplies. Lots of food. The people of means would travel with provisions, enough for the journey and perhaps even the stay.
And so, spread among the thousands of women, men and children that day (or days), would have been a smattering of families that had LOTS of food. Many more might have a little food. And perhaps most of them were poor and didn't have anything on them.
With that in mind, Ian suggested that perhaps the true miracle of the story is not that Jesus magically created fish and loaves out of thin air (although he's careful to not dismiss this possibility, if that's what you believe happened), but the true miracle is that Jesus used the dramatic action of the boy to challenge and change the hearts of ALL that were there. So that those who had plenty (and might previously NOT have shared it), were now embracing the way of love and providing for those who were in need. God changing the hearts of people. A much more impressive (and beautiful) miracle, if you ask me, then God simply making food and feeding people for a day.
He closed by suggesting that one of the major causes of sin in our lives is because we believe in scarcity rather than abundance. We believe that God is holding back from us, and so we strive to acquire, to keep, to hold on to. We live as though we think that God is withholding from us.
But God is not a withholder.
God is a giver. God is a blesser. Out of the abundance of the endless Giver, God blesses.
In turn, we recognize that we are blessed to bless others.
I am (have been) struggling to live this way. The myth of scarcity is convincing. Powerful. And its siren-song has lulled me in to a season of distrust and despair. Not truly believing that God is NOT a withholder. Rather, I've found myself accusing the Lord lately of holding back on me.
Yesterday was my wife's birthday. Katie is the love of my life. And in HER, yesterday, I re-discovered that God is not a withholder.
No, God has given me more than I could possibly imagine. Much more than I deserve.
God has given me my wife.
And in light of THAT, how can I ever buy in to scarcity, ever again? For she has been my rock, my strength and my source of hope these past few months. Her faith has sustained us, sustained ME. And I will be forever grateful for her and to her.
No, God is certainly not a withholder.
And my bride is my proof. I love you, Katie.

Well Beatie's neighbors in Oregon are calling bullshit on him, saying that the pregnancy is a fake. Ron Schlieper, who lives near Beatie in Bend, Oregon, told ABC News, "Quite frankly, I think it's a hoax. I saw him a few days ago, and he didn't look like that." The Advocate, the magazine that published Beatie's first-person account of his pregnancy, is standing behind him. "We asked Thomas to provide the name of his doctor, and she confirmed that he was pregnant and that his pregnancy is proceeding as it should," according to Advocate editor Anne Stockwell. Is he the Peggy Seltzer of pregnancy?? [Guanabee, ABC News]

Sometimes museums exhibit traveling shows that have been curated at another institution. If this is the case, how do you learn about the shows in the first place? Chipstone's current exhibition, The New Materiality: Digital Dialogues at the Boundaries of Contemporary Craft, was first shown at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts. It was curated by University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee professor Fo Wilson. We learned about the exhibition through Fo, who sent us the catalog for us to see what she had been working on. The exhibition instantly appealed to us. It was edgy, interesting and thought provoking.
Preparing for the Exhibition
Even though Fo hadn't sent us the catalog with the intention of traveling the show for Milwaukee, it seemed completely appropriate for the Milwaukee Art Museum. The exhibition is composed of sixteen emerging and established artists that use technology as a material in their work. Some incorporate digital media, such as Tim Tate's Virtual Novelist (above left). This work consists of blown glass reliquaries encapsulating a video depicting literary tools, like typewriters and encyclopedias, that have become obsolete. Others use the information provided by technology as the material. An example of this is Sonya Clark's Madame CJ Walker (below). Clark used a large computer pixelated image of America's first self-made female millionaire to guide her installation. She took black plastic combs and broke the teeth, following the pixilation pattern. The end result is a ten-foot high image of Madame CJ Walker made out of combs.
Planning the Programming
The programming for the exhibition came about in an organic fashion. We believe that an exhibition's curator and artists are important resources, therefore we organized an artist think tank that would provide us the opportunity to hear them speak about their work. Taking advantage of having Fo Wilson in town, we scheduled gallery talks on April 19 and May 3.
While planning the gallery talks and trying to envision other relevant events, it came to our attention that a group of students from MIAD and UWM were interested in the exhibition's artists and the works they produced. We set up Skype sessions between five of The New Materiality artists and the group of students with the purpose of discussing their art practices. The students are creating artworks of their own, which will be displayed at the April 15 MAM After Dark: Tax MAM, based on these interactions with the exhibited artists. The five artists, Sonya Clark, Lawrence LaBianca, Christy Matson, Tim Tate, and Donald Fortescue, are flying in to see the student works and participate in the think tank. They will be in the galleries the night of the 15th starting at 7PM to give informal talks on their pieces.
Another artist from The New Materiality, Nathalie Miebach, will also be present that night. Miebach gathers scientific data and creates 3D representations of her data-using basket weaving techniques. For her work Noel, Miebach tracked Hurricane Noel and created both a sculptural representation of the data and a musical score. She will give a short talk on April 15 at 8:30PM, which will be followed by the local group Nineteen Thirteen performing Noel's musical score.
The artists will return to the Milwaukee Art Museum on April 16 for a program titled Dialogues on Innovation, which will take place in the Lubar Auditorium from 2-4PM. They will be paired up with local experts and discuss issues related to their work.
We hope you will be able to join us and participate in the dialogue surrounding the exhibition!

Global success of Kiwi tech companies proves enormous payoff waiting when we strike it right.
The New Zealand technology sector is in a very good place right now. No really.
With all the scrapping about public funding policy that's been going on it would be easy not to notice that.
And while the debate rages about the sale of yet another smart Kiwi tech company to foreign shareholders, the local sector has quietly achieved a remarkable result in the leading regional stocktake of the industry.
Forty-five New Zealand companies featured in the latest Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for Asia Pacific. That's the list of the 500 fastest growing tech companies.
Kiwi firms make up nearly 10 per cent of the list in a region that includes China, Japan, South Korea and India and Taiwan.
We had seven in the top 100. Transport technology and services company EROAD made the top 10, with revenue growth of 2746 per cent. It was the only company from an English-speaking country to make the top 10. Which is another way of saying we even beat Australia. Well, sort of - overall they had 60 companies on the list.
Taiwan had the best representation on the list with 130 companies; China had 103.
It's a shame there were too many Kiwi firms on it to name here, as they all deserve recognition. Most of them aren't well known. The list includes 2degrees, Xero and Powershop and a sprinkling of other consumer brands. But they are all great hopes for New Zealand business.
The full list of Kiwi firms is tagged to the original news story which you can read at businessherald.co.nz.
It's impressive to consider that these companies are achieving this kind of phenomenal growth in an economy with GDP growth of less than 2 per cent. Some of our Asian neighbours have a lot more economic action going on and a heck of a lot more available capital - including both private and state funding.
So, getting back to that funding issue, it's not that there is anything wrong with the robust debate about policy. All the better when it's spiced up by a Cabinet Minister debating it very publicly on Twitter as Steven Joyce did last week.
Auckland-based Endace is the latest local tech stock (listed on London's AIM index) to be subject to a takeover offer and most likely we'll see it sold off to a bigger US firm for $156 million.
It has received about $10 million in taxpayer funding since it was founded in 2001. The perennial issue of whether taxpayers are getting a good deal from a funding system that seems to build companies up for foreign sale was highlighted by one Endace's co-founders, Selwyn Pellett.
Pellett, who largely sold out of Endace in 2010, got a swift Twitter rebuke from Joyce. One suspects Joyce was really more annoyed by the media coverage of what he sees as a success story being overshadowed by the political debate.
It was a good spat anyway and put the focus on how we should structure our support for tech companies to maximise taxpayer benefit when they succeed.
There's a bit of traditional politics in that debate. Those on the right tend to be less hung up on ownership - believing that if we create the right business environment then tech companies will want to be based in New Zealand regardless of where their shareholders are based. On the left, there is more support for Government taking a direct equity stake or, as Pellet has suggested, a less direct interest via financial instruments like convertible notes.
Both strategies have risks and merits.
Plenty of tech start-ups fail and that makes state investment risky. But more hands-off policies do leave us at the mercy of the global market. Despite our best efforts, we can't stop companies upping sticks and moving to cheaper locations if they want to.
We are doing something right, though. Starting with the earliest focus on agri-tech, New Zealand has a long history of being smart about public funding of R&D - on both sides of the House.
But the policy debate sometimes gets too much attention in the context of the wider New Zealand technology story.
Good on Government, past and present, for the funding it does.
But it isn't the Government that can take credit for the brilliant and hard-working scientists and entrepreneurs that drive these companies.
These are the people who have the skills to transform our economy and create wealth. It's important to support them but, ultimately, most of them would be doing what they do regardless of the shape of public policy.
The sector last year generated more than $5 billion in export revenue, about $7 billion in overall revenue, according to the Technology Network. That's not bad and it's more than most people realise. But it could be doubled quickly if just one of those smart companies was to make it at a truly global scale. If the idea of a Kiwi Facebook sounds far-fetched, consider how ludicrous the scale of Peter Jackson's success would have sounded if you'd suggested it 20 years ago.
If NZ wants to be a wealthier nation, we're going to need another industry to rival dairy and tourism as an export earner. Realistically, we need to either strike it big in oil and minerals or become a tech centre of global significance.
In both cases, there's an element of playing the odds. You need plenty of viable prospects as the strike rate is low.
Right now, Xero is our best hope in the tech space. It's a well-positioned player in a fast-growing, almost revolutionary, shift in business behaviour - the online accounting space. The market likes it so much that its shares have almost trebled in value this year and it now has a market capitalisation of $890 million despite never having turned a profit.
Its founder, Rod Drury, is committed to a NZ base and staying on the NZX and so success would bring with it big gains for the wider local sector in much the same way as Peter Jackson's did for the film industry. But it's a volatile industry with no guarantees. Whatever happens next with Xero, it's exciting to be reminded just how many young tech companies are waiting in the wings.

We have had some of the best follow up from the members of the United States Congress out of Texas. It probably doesn't hurt that a lot of our readers come from the Lone Star State or if you have nothing to hide, then you can be very forthcoming. The latest response is from the very open Congressman Steve Stockman out of the 36th Congressional District.
Gun bans and anti-gun laws have always lead to one thing – more gun violence.
We owe it to innocent people to make this country as safe as possible. Sadly, in President Obama's announcement every tragedy he mentioned was either in a state that aggressively restricts the right to keep and bear arms or was in a location that banned guns completely.
The White House has indicated they are willing to use Executive Orders to infringe upon the God-given right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment from government intrusion.
President Obama announced the specifics of his anti-gun sneak attack today, though he refuses to answer questions regarding his own illegal transfer of weapons to Mexican drug lords.
Among the Executive Orders issued are tracking of your firearms, which creates a de facto national gun registry, and a White House demand for laws regulating the private transfer of firearms.
In other words, if you give your son his first hunting rifle, you may face a prison sentence if you fail to get approval from the government.
Those proposals, along with others floated by the White House as presidential decrees, are cutting attacks on your right as a peaceable person to keep and bear arms for your defense. The ability to defend one from aggressors is a basic human right.
My staff is reviewing the Executive Orders. Should President Obama issue Orders infringing upon your basic human right, I am prepared to fight back with peaceable legislative force.
>> I will lead the fight to defeat the President's dangerous legislative proposals.
>> I will seek legislation overturning the Orders.
>> I will seek legislation barring funds to enforce the Orders.
>> I will seek legislation to cut White House funding should the President issue and enforce such Orders.
>> I will support legal efforts to overturn the Orders in court.
I ask you to contact your representatives in the House and Senate at House.gov and Senate.gov and politely urge them to support efforts to overturn or defund any proposed executive actions and to defeat the President's dangerous legislative proposals.
Now, I would hope those measures are enough to either deter President Obama or thwart his efforts.
However, if they do not or are unsuccessful I will consider speaking with my colleagues and filing articles of impeachment.
Impeachment is not something to be taken lightly. It is a grave and serious undertaking that should only be initiated in a sober and serious manner. It should be reserved only for most egregious of trespasses by the President.
I would consider using Executive Orders to engage in attacks on a constitutionally-protected right and violating his sworn oath of office to be such a trespass. The President cannot issue executive orders depriving the people of full access to an enumerated constitutional right.
I do not think it will come to that. The President is not an absolute ruler, and his actions and orders can be checked and balanced by the Congress and the courts – if the Congress is willing.
That is why I ask you to please contact your elected representatives at House.gov and Senate.gov and politely urge them to support legislative efforts to overturn and defund the president's Orders, and to defeat his legislative proposals.
The right to keep and bear arms is a basic human right that has kept us free for over two centuries. With a vigilant citizenry eager to contact their elected officials and make their voice heard, it will continue to be that way.
In the mean time, I encourage you to sign up for my free newsletter. It will give you instant inside updates from the Capitol. You may sign up at Stockman.House.Gov/Contact/Newsletter.

Tunisia's new premier Mehdi Jomaa took office on Friday to lead a caretaker government until elections later this year after the ruling Islamist party's premier resigned in a deal to complete its steps to democracy.
Jomaa, a former industry minister, will head a non-partisan cabinet after compromise between the Islamists and secular opponents to end a crisis three years after Tunisia's uprising against autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.
The small North African nation has edged closer to establishing full democracy since 2011 than other "Arab Spring" countries, especially Egypt whose Islamist president faces trial after he was ousted by the military.
"I am not a miracle worker, but I promise I will do my best… we are doing everything possible to overcome hurdles, to reform what we can reform, and bring back stability," Jomaa told reporters in the presidential palace.
The former premier, Ali Larayedh, an Islamist who spent years in jail under Ben Ali, resigned on Thursday. Jomaa will name his cabinet over the next few days.
The new premier, who ran an aerospace parts business in Paris before he become minister, must tackle economic reforms sought by international lenders to curb the deficit and face a growing threat from Islamist militants tied to al Qaeda.
Police fired tear gas on Friday in the tourist city of Sousse to disperse dozens of ultra-conservative Islamist supporters of group hardline group Ansar al-Sharia, who tried to protest in the streets.
"They gathered after Friday prayers and tried to reach the central Sousse but police fired tear gas and dispersed them," a security source told Reuters.
One of the hardline Islamist movements to emerge after the 2011 revolt, Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia was declared illegal last year after the government blamed it for killing two opposition politicians.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of State declared the group a foreign terrorist organization tied to al Qaeda's North Africa affiliate. It was blamed for inciting the storming the U.S. embassy in Tunis a year ago.
Since the political agreement reached late last year for a handover to a technocrat administration, Tunisia has edged closer to democracy. The national assembly is voting on the new constitution and a nine-member election commission has been appointed to over a vote later this year.
One of the most secular countries in the Arab world, Tunisia struggled with divisions over the role of Islam and the rise of militants since its uprising. But the assassination of the two opposition leaders last year triggered a crisis.
After months of negotiations, Ennahda agreed to resign once it had guarantees that the political parties would finish writing the new constitution, set a date for elections and appoint an electoral council to oversee the vote.
Political progress aside, many Tunisians are more worried about the high cost of living and some see little economic opportunity after the uprising that inspired revolts against long-standing autocrats in Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
Jomaa's government will have to tackle economic reforms to cut back its deficit — especially the tough cuts in public subsidies that risk pushing up fuel and food prices and inflaming popular protests.
Police fired tear gas this week to break up protests in several cities over an increase on vehicle taxes, and Larayedh's government on Thursday suspended the reform.
Lenders such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund want Tunisia to reform public wages and subsidies to curb a deficit the government forecast at 6.8 percent of gross domestic product for last year.
The IMF has forecast the budget deficit for 2013 at 8.8 percent of GDP.
Tunisia said this week it expected it had done enough — in its political transition and economic measures to control the deficit — to ensure payment of a second $500 million tranche of its $1.5 billion IMF loan.

By working towards the nine goals in the plan, Beverly Hills will create a vibrant community, a healthy environment and a resilient economy.

Time Warner spinning off Time Inc. magazines
Time Warner is getting out of the magazine business.
The media conglomerate said Wednesday that it'll spin off its publishing division, Time Inc., as an independent, publicly traded company later this year. It also ended talks to sell several magazine titles to Meredith.
The spinoff follows an announcement by News Corp. to separate its entertainment and publishing businesses into two companies, a move that will be completed later this year.
"After a thorough review of options, we believe that a separation will better position both Time Warner and Time Inc.," said Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes in a statement. "A complete spinoff of Time Inc. provides strategic clarity for Time Warner Inc., enabling us to focus entirely on our television networks and film and TV production businesses, and improves our growth profile."
Time Inc. will benefit from "the flexibility and focus" of being a stand-alone public company, Bewkes said.
Laura Lang, CEO of Time Inc., will leave the company after the spinoff.
Meredith, based in Des Moines, had been in talks to buy several magazines that are largely aimed at women, including People, InStyle and Real Simple. Meredith CEO Stephen Lacy confirmed Wednesday that the talks are over for now.
"At Time Warner's initiation, we discussed combining our National Media Group with certain Time Inc. brands to create a new publicly traded company," he said in a statement. "We ... remain open to continuing a dialogue on how our companies might work together on future opportunities."
Time Warner has spun off other units before. In 2009, its cable telecommunications division began trading publicly as a separate company, now called Time Warner Cable. AOL, an online news and information company, was also spun off in 2009.
The publishing division, which makes up about 12% of Time Warner's revenue, has been a clear laggard, with declining sales at newsstands and sluggish ad revenue. The 2012 revenue for the publishing business — which consists mostly of Time Inc.'s magazines, related websites, book publishing and marketing businesses — fell 6.5% to $3.4 billion. Its operating income fell to $420 million from $563 million in 2011.
Still, its magazine titles are considered some of the most iconic publishing brands and account for a significant chunk of the U.S. magazine market. In 2012, Time Inc.'s U.S. magazines accounted for 21.5% of total U.S. advertising revenue in consumer magazines, excluding newspaper supplements, according to Publishers Information Bureau data published in Time Warner's latest annual report.
People, Sports Illustrated and InStyle were ranked Nos. 1, 3 and 5, respectively, in ad revenue in 2012, it says. Time Inc. had six of the top 25 magazines based on that measure.
Time Inc. hired Lang last year to oversee a strategic turnaround to focus more on digital properties. She also oversaw a move to lay off about 6% of its workforce earlier this year.
"After considerable thought, I have decided that taking the company through a transition to the public markets is not where my passion lies," Lang wrote to her staff Wednesday.

Find Used Cars in Elgin at CarsDirect.com. Elgin, Illinois is part of the Chicago metropolitan area, and is the eighth largest city in the state with a population of just under 100,000 people. It is located about 35 miles west of Chicago and is home to many workers that commute back and forth to the city. Because of the heavy traffic on old State Road 30 and West Highland Avenue, getting around can be rather difficult at times. Therefore, many people would simply rather not have to brave the strong when or a cold Chicago winter to visit used car dealerships with the hope of finding a good deal on a used car or truck. When there are so many other fun and interesting things to do in the metro area, wasting fuel and time to try to find a used vehicle is not a very wise option. The time would be much better spent attending a Bears or Bulls game or spending a day outside with the family at the beautiful Hawthorn Hill Nature Center. By using CarsDirect.com to purchase your next used vehicle, you will have both the time and money needed to do these things and more. So, let the friendly staff at CarsDirect help you find the best pre-owned vehicle for you at an affordable price.

Spider International released a set of PowerForce Headphones with 40mm drivers and an audio filter surrounded by a "dynamic" housing made of plastic and and aluminum. Coming in at about $129.99 they are a fairly cheap solution for people looking for something slightly better than your average 50 – 70 dollar earphones. The bass is richer, and slightly beefier than a set of $50 ear plug style earphones I have. The highs are more tolerable than the earphones too. I'm a bit of a sound snob, so perhaps I'm not the best person to review these, but for the price point I haven't heard anything in particular that sets them apart from anything else within $100 plus or MINUS the PowerForce headphones. (I've tested dozens).
Spider International (in my opinion) put together a fairly cheap component design and then spent quite a bit more to package it up so it gives you the illusion of quality. A stitched cover on the top, gold trimmed plastic (white and gold version) with a memory foam ear pad… We received both the pre-production units and the retail box kit, and to be honest there is very little difference between the two. I think I wouldn't be so hard on these headphones if it where not for the claims on the back of the package which say "PowerForce faithfully reproduces the full audio spectrum in no-nonsense terms, allowing music to be heard the way the artist and engineer intended." (That's crap)
It goes on to state "You'll both hear and feel the all-important bottom end, but it won't bury the snap of a snare drum, the shimmer of a cymbal, the delicate touch of the fingertips on an acoustic guitar string". Really? Are they listening to the same set of headphones I am? I am not sure, that is not the experience that I had. I call it the way I see it and I just don't see it here. The description reminds me of the movie Knight's Tale when the naked guy helps them out in exchange for clothing and he becomes Heath Ledger's Herald. Check out 35 Seconds into this video for a revisit of the movie clip I'm talking about 🙂 I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they hired the writer of this segment to write the overview 🙂
All in all I'd rate them as just average and I'm really disappointed in other reviewers that were willing to write anything different merely for a free set of headphones. It's absurd. 2 out of 5 stars.

Partnerships in Character Education Program
Alaska Department of Education Abstract
Contact: Naomi K. Obie, Project Director
Alaska Department of Education
and Early Development
801 West 10th Street
Suite 200
Juneau, AK 99801-1894
(907) 465-8728
Alaska Department of Education and Early Development
Application Number : R215V980023
Project Period : 7/1/986/30/01
FY 1998 Award : $320,000
FY 1999 Award : $290,000
FY 2000 Award : $290,000
The purpose of this project is to develop strategies for implementing character education in Alaska. It has four objectives:
Objective 1-Establish a Character Education Partnership. The Alaska Character Education (ACE) Partnership is a joint effort sponsored by the Alaska Department of Education, the Association of Alaska School Boards (AASB) and the Alaska Parent Teachers Association (AKPTA). Two initial pilot sites are in operation, the Chugach School District and the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) School District. Beginning in January 2000, the Kodiak Island Borough School District will join the state partnership. Through the efforts of the ACE partners, character education programs are being established in Alaska. Building on the Quality Schools Initiative, Alaska's plan for school reform, the Alaska Character Education Partnership features content related to Alaska's citizenship and healthy life skills standards, quality professional development, community involvement, and support for the school excellence standards.
Objective 2-Develop pilot sites. In true Alaskan fashion, ACE is using a number of vehicles to accomplish its mission. The pilot sites use a variety of strategies to impact not only classroom instruction, but also school and community climate. Activities address student content standards in the areas of health, social studies, and employability. Each site also conducts professional development for teachers and seeks to achieve high quality community involvement, though the activities used to achieve these ends differ.
Objective 3-Involve the communities. AASB and AKPTA have actively reviewed their ongoing programs for members and incorporated character education concepts and skills. AASB's Youth Advocate has been actively training local community members in the ASSETS Program; it has also trained additional trainers to help implement the program. The newest partner, the Kodiak School District, is focusing on providing ASSETS-based activities within its village schools.
Objective 4-Disseminate information. Information about the various partner initiatives has been shared within the partnership and with a limited number of other entities. The partners are now reaching the stage that they are ready to tell a broader audience of their development challenges, current status, and successes. A joint publication will be developed by the end of the program year, with revised plans that encourage visitation with partner sites and interaction with the partner organizations.
