51st Annual Missions Conference
Chaos: Being Christ Amidst Crisis
The world today is a pretty scary place to live. War. Disease. Natural Disasters. Terrorism. Every day, newspaper headlines across the globe proclaim the reality of our fallen world. It's easy to become overwhelmed – or worse – to become apathetic. As Christians, what is our role and our responsibility in responding to crisis? When should we get involved and how can we most effectively communicate the message of Christ amidst all the chaos?
These questions and more were addressed during Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary's 51st Annual Missions Conference, held at the Northern California campus on February 17 and 18, 2012.
John B.*, the North Africa/Middle East (NAME) regional leader for the International Mission Board (IMB), was this year's keynote speaker. He shared his experiences living and working in one of the world's most volatile regions.
"The Apostle Paul lived in a chaotic world," said John B. to the more than 100 people present. "The Middle East is still one of the most chaotic places in the world. As Paul journeyed in that place, God spoke to him and gave him the opportunities to serve and do some amazing things." John B. told the attendees, "Like Paul, God has called me to share the Gospel. He has called you, too. We get to carry the Gospel to those who have never heard – it's the greatest privilege."
In addition to John B.'s presentations, the two-day conference included eight seminars on topics such as tent making missionaries, counseling in crisis, opportunities for serving with the IMB and Baptist Global Response, disaster relief ministry, and Burmese refugee camps and orphanages.
The Missions Conference was the culmination of the Seminary's Global Missions Week, which included five IMB
missionary units on campus all week, speaking in classes and in small groups and student lunches. "Having these missionaries sharing what God is doing in places in the world where they serve was inspiring," said Eddie Pate, Golden Gate's Director of The David and Faith Kim School of Global Missions, Associate Professor of Missions, and Chair of the Intercultural Studies Department.
"Dr. Tom Elliff, president of the IMB, gave a compelling message in chapel on Friday," recalled Pate. "He also spoke later at a pastor's luncheon the Seminary hosted, focusing on the role of the church in ministering to unreached people groups."
Saturday afternoon's activities included an Urban Excursion. Accompanied by Golden Gate students, grads, and Eddie Pate, nearly 30 people went to several areas in the city to pray, observe, and engage people. A women's henna party was also held Saturday afternoon. Henna, a temporary artwork drawn on hands and other parts of the body, is a
popular beauty technique in parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Christian women use henna to illustrate Bible stories and share the Gospel in a non-threatening manner. Those who attended learned how to use this tool to reach women in these cultures.
Lisa Hoff, Golden Gate's Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies, challenged those attending, "To go beyond where we are comfortable, to the places where God want us to be, to do the things that God want us to do." She urged the conference-goers to be God's hands and feet, to share the Gospel, and to serve Him wherever they are placed. She concluded by praying, "Lord, sensitize our hearts to recognize what is happening around the world; that we would long to take action through our prayers and through our lives."
Golden Gate alumni Mark and Janet Simmons* attended the conference with three teens from their church's youth group. "We both have a love for missions, and since we served together overseas in East Asia (2007-2010) we wanted to share with these students the scope of what God is doing with the nations," said Janet.
"The conference as a whole gives me a global perspective of God's movement of reaching the nations," added Mark, associate pastor at First Baptist Church, Cupertino, California. "Often we focus just on our own church and ministries. A conference such as this helps us to look outward to the nations. I want to be involved in that, moving us towards something greater, with a worldwide focus. I think that's exciting."
"Missions is at the heart of what happens at Golden Gate, and for 51 years the Missions conference has been where that heartbeat is most loudly heard on campus," said Pate. "The Missions Conference is a wonderful chance for our students to focus on the nations as a community, and to corporately experience God's heart for the nations."

Zen and the Art of Trail-Runner Maintenance
Sometimes it takes two wheels to understand two feet
Illustration by Kevin Howdeshell
The engine of the motorcycle ticked like a dying metronome as the oil and metal cooled and settled. Nearby, I lay in my sleeping bag beneath the brilliant and vast Arizona night, and turned the page of my book. A dull ache spread through my body, reminding me of the punishing 65-mile trail run that I had put myself through in the Rocky Mountains only a few days earlier.
The book was an old copy of Robert M. Pirsig's 1974 classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which I often bring on long motorcycle trips. The moon illuminated a passage that I had underlined from a previous reading.
"Although motorcycle riding is romantic," Pirsig wrote, "motorcycle maintenance is purely classic." Pirsig's book illustrated a bipolar world: The romantics conduct a life of imagination, creativity and inspiration, while the classics maintain a more practical life, "economical and carefully proportioned."
To the classic, the motorcycle is about "pieces and parts, components and relationships."
To the romantic, the motorcycle is about "feeling, intuition and esthetic conscience." I had underlined the last two words, and scribbled off to the side, "for the romantic, motorcycle = freedom."

Your cat may start to show some signs of aging between the ages of 7 and 11, but he is not technically considered a "senior" until he is about 11 to 14 years old. Some cats live much longer, and after age 15 are considered "geriatric," according to VetStreet.com. Older cats need different care than younger cats, especially since their immune systems are not as strong as they used to be. Felines can suffer from a number of illnesses throughout their lives, but here are some of the most common ailments that affect older cats and what you should be watching for.
Unlike dogs, cats may not seem to become outwardly lame or show signs of pain in their joints as they age. However, arthritis is one of the most common issues cats face, even though they are good at hiding it. Some signs may be soiling places outside their litter boxes and meowing if their food and water dishes are up on a table or surface they have to jump to. Although veterinarians can recommend supplements or medications to ease the pain of joint disease in cats, it can also help to make lifestyle adjustments like bringing the cat's food down to the floor and switching out his litter box for one with low sides.
Dental disease
Dental disease and gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums, are also common in older cats. These conditions may cause weight loss because your cat finds it painful to eat, and it can lead to tooth loss and infection. The best way to prevent dental disease in cats is to brush your feline's teeth throughout his life, but if he is already showing signs you should bring him to the vet for an examination. Switching out dry food for wet or adding water to dry food may make it less painful for your cat to eat.
Kidney disease
Kidneys change in a number of ways as a cat ages, and this can sometimes lead to impaired function. Although a common senior cat illness, kidney disease has varying symptoms among felines. Some of the most common symptoms include increased drinking and urination, urination outside the litter box, vomiting, blood in the urine, weight loss or sitting hunched, according to WebMD Pets. Other cats might experience a complete lack of urination. Veterinarians can diagnose and treat kidney disease and failure with blood tests and other exams.
This disease occurs when the thyroid gland becomes overactive, which can be caused by a tumor. According to Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, the clinical signs of hyperthyroidism are subtle at first but then become more severe. Weight loss, increased appetite, thirst and urination are the most common signs, but diarrhea in cats, vomiting, hyperactivity and a greasy coat may also occur. Fortunately, there are several ways to treat this condition. Medication, surgery and radioactive-iodine therapy can all be used to control the ailment so your feline can live a long, happy life.

Reviews of this property
Excellent apartment! For questions e / o problems we could have a app. send Miguel, which he then very quickly responded. Very nice young man who speaks little to no English, but gave in very quiet Spanish explanations which we-with our limited knowledge of Spanish- could understand each other!
Prima appartement! Bij vragen e/o problemen konden we een app. sturen naar Miguel, waarop hij dan heel vlot reageerde. Hele aardige jongeman, die weinig tot geen Engels spreekt, maar in heel rustig Spaans uitleg gaf waardoor wij -met onze beperkte kennis van het Spaans- elkaar goed konden begrijpen!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very clean appartment. The street outside is at bit busy and noisy. Nice terrace and very helpful staff. Close to a free parking.
The stay was very good. The place is perfect for people who love freedom - own cooking and laundry facilities, nice, spacious bathroom The flat is extremely clean and fresh, the roof tarace massive and very sunny, good to relax. The location is very good - the big store opposite, the beach about 15 minutes away, the bus stop just round the corner. The manager - Miguel is very friendly, flexible and co-operative, responds quickly to your needs.
We will definitely come back.
The apartment was neat and clean, actually very functional.
Around the corner at the bus station, very handy!
We requested a quiet apartment, that was very, very quiet .... No view and very dark because there was little daylight inside.
More fun it is to book one of the apartments "b" (room at the street, and bedroom quiet), or else "a" (both room to the street)
Het appartement was netjes en schoon, eigenlijk heel functioneel.
Om de hoek bij het busstation, heel handig!
Wij hadden een rustig appartement gevraagd, dat was wel héél erg rustig.... Geen uitzicht, en erg donker omdat er weinig daglicht binnenkwam.
Leuker is het om een van de appartementen "b"te boeken (kamer aan straatkant, en slaapkamer rustig), of anders "a" (beide kamer aan de straat)
Very simple apartment. Clean and tidy! Suitable only for a short stay.
Values Miguel very good and obliging!
Mycket enkel lägenhet. Rent och snyggt! Lämplig endast för en kortare vistelse.
Värden Miguel mycket bra och tjänstvillig!
Thank you Miguel - we lived staying in the villa in the hills above nerja
The location was beautiful and tranquil - the locals were so friendly and helpful
We will be in touch if and when we return
Fond regards - Sunshine, Ned & Indiana
The ideal home, ideal !! we loved had a great, very attentive Miguel and perfect. The only hits the road to the house ... it was a little hell and we had a little scare ... but the house amazing. :)
La casa ideal, ideal!! nos encantó lo pasamos muy bien, Miguel muy atento y todo perfecto. La única pega el camino hacía la casa...fue un poco un infierno y tuvimos un pequeño susto...pero la casa increíble. :)
The apartment is very comfortable and clean, very friendly Miguel enjoyed our stay. Thank You
El apartamento muy cómodo y limpio, Miguel muy amable disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía. Gracias
Nice little apartment, lovely terrace. The beds were a bit hard.

Press Release
Lodge at Torrey Pines ® Awarded
2005 AAA Five Diamonds
November 2004
A third year in a row win for the three-year-old luxury
Pacific Coast destination resort
Remains the only Five Diamond hotel property in San Diego
November 2004, LA JOLLA, California - The Lodge at Torrey Pines® has been honored with the 2005 AAA Five Diamond Award, the third year in a row that the luxury resort has captured one of the travel industry's most prestigious awards. Opened in April 2002, the La Jolla, California-based resort remains the only Five Diamond-rated hotel in the city of San Diego. The Lodge features authentic California Craftsman-style architecture and furnishings, as well as a remarkable location overlooking the Pacific Ocean and adjacent to the famed Torrey Pines Golf Course and beloved Torrey Pines State Reserve.
"We are honored and ecstatic about receiving our third set of Five Diamonds, and we have our staff and management to thank," said Dan Fullen, General Manager of The Lodge at Torrey Pines®. "AAA's award is well known among sophisticated travelers as representing the highest standards in the industry. We have worked hard from the beginning to provide an atmosphere of mutual regard and respect among our staff, and it shows in the caring and personal service they pass along to our customers. The environment they create at The Lodge is more like a private home than a hotel - and we work diligently to maintain that atmosphere."
Since its opening less than three years ago, The Lodge at Torrey Pines® has captured the attention of media and sophisticated travelers alike, firmly placing the property on the destination map of top hotels in America. Publications such as Departures, the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and Food & Wine have touted the property as exceptional, while Esquire named its signature restaurant, A. R. Valentien, one of "America's Best New Restaurants." The Lodge also ranks high as a duffers' destination by offering exclusive tee times on the Torrey Pines Golf Course and having been named the official site of the 2008 U.S. Open.
With the 2005 AAA Five Diamond, The Lodge remains among the top tier of hotel properties in North America, including The Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Bellagio in Las Vegas, The St. Regis in New York, The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, the Greenbrier in West Virginia, and the Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico.
The Lodge at Torrey Pines® is a tribute to the California Craftsman Movement and is modeled after Greene & Greene's famed Gamble and Blacker houses in Pasadena, California, two of the finest examples of early 1900s Craftsman-style architecture. The Lodge features 170 spacious guest rooms, including 9 suites, more than 13,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, and a 9,500 square-foot spa.

Estevez's Cincy movie won't be 'Mighty Ducks 4'
The Columbus Dispatch - October 26, 2012 10:08 AM
Actor/director Emilio Estevez visited Cincinnati yesterday to announce the details of an
upcoming movie production earlier hyped as a "family-friendly sports film."
Depending on your age, you probably best know Estevez either as a member of director John Hughes' "Brat Pack" or as Gordon Bombay, coach of the unusually successful kids' hockey team The Mighty Ducks.
Estevez' sports film won't be another sequel to the beloved Mighty Ducks trilogy, though: He told reporters at Great American Ball Park yesterday that this new movie will be about harness racing. But Johnny Longshot will be "in the vein of The Mighty Ducks," Estevez said.
The Mighty Ducks (1992) renewed youth enthusiasm for hockey and -- less than a year after the film's release -- inspired the creation of a Disney-owned NHL team (the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, who dropped the "Mighty" when new owners bought the team in 2005).
Perhaps, um, we'll see the same wave of excitement for harness racing?
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that a 37-day shoot for the movie begins next spring. The production will hire 1,500 actors, extras and crew. Area residents will fill most positions, producer Lisa Niedenthal told the Enquirer.

One of the more common conditions veterinarians must deal with is dental disease in cats. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, approximately two-thirds of cats over the age of three have some form of dental disease. While some of these conditions may be unavoidable, cat owners who perform daily tooth brushing and pay close attention to their cat's dental hygiene stand a much greater chance of ensuring their cat is part of the one-third that isn't affected by the problem.
Caring for a cat's mouth can be a challenge, which may explain the high rate of dental disease. It's difficult for owners to get their cats to hold still and allow their teeth to be brushed. However, a pet owner who wants to avoid dental disease for their cat will need to persevere in the face of this issue. A good idea is to start brushing a cat's teeth when they are a kitten so they become accustomed to the routine. Teeth cleaning for cats is not easy but even older cats can be trained to accept it and after some time, the cat will likely come to accept the brushing as part of their life.
Never use human toothpaste on a cat, as the chemicals in these products may be dangerous to felines. There are a wide range of dental products that cats can use, including flavored toothpastes, mouthwashes and gels that can be applied to the teeth and gums. Be sure to ask your vet about possible dietary changes that can reduce tartar as well.
Even if you brush your cat's teeth every day, a professional dental cleaning performed by your veterinarian will be required from time to time. Your veterinarian will check your cat's teeth at their annual health examination and alert you when a professional cleaning is necessary.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to participate as a judge at SIFE World Cup 2011 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For those of you that aren't familiar with the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) competition, teams consisting of students on university campuses around the world apply business concepts to develop outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need.
Once a year, national champion SIFE teams from around world meet at the SIFE World Cup where they present the results of their community outreach projects to a prestigious group of international business leaders.
This year, teams representing nearly 40 countries and territories came to Kuala Lumpur to participate in the World Cup. After two days of intense competition, Germany won the trophy, with Zimbabwe as a close runner up, followed by Puerto Rico and Guatemala. And through this competition, the teams developed multiple projects that I am confident will do well financially and good socially. What a refreshing and energizing experience to observe and participate in this process.
A special note about the Texas State University, San Marcos team that carried the U.S. banner in Kuala Lumpur -- their enthusiasm was infectious. Along with U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia Paul Jones, I had the opportunity to meet with twenty members of the team, and we encouraged them to join the foreign service and to bring their entrepreneurial spirit with them. All Americans should be proud to be represented by these dynamos!
And these are just 20 of the more than 50,000 SIFE members around the globe who are exemplifying the innovation and sense of civic responsibility of the next generation of entrepreneurs and public servants. This is a very creative group, and the SIFE World Cup is an exceptional showcase of the impact that the efforts of young people are making around the world. We in the public sector need to welcome them into our sphere enthusiastically.
While Secretary Clinton was unable to join me in Kuala Lumpur, she did send a video message that was played during the closing of the World Cup. And when she announced that we are partnering with SIFE to host the 2012 World Cup in Washington, D.C., I am thrilled to report that this news was met with wild applause from the global audience!
Like SIFE, the State Department is firmly committed to empowering young people and our partnership illustrates the importance of student entrepreneurship as a foreign policy tool.
To the corporations, organizations, and individuals that play an essential role in advancing the work of SIFE, I look forward to working with you throughout the upcoming year. As Secretary Clinton said, "Your partnership is helping to improve lives, strengthen communities and develop socially responsible young business leaders."
And to all of the participants, I wish you the best of luck over the coming year, and look forward to seeing the fruits of your hard work and creative approaches next fall in Washington, D.C.
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is an international non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. SIFE World Cup 2012 will take place in Washington, D.C. from September 30 - October 2, 2012.

Residents gather to mourn
Vigil honors Folsom family members in tragedy
CANON CITY — Telling grieving residents that as a community they are strong, a local pastor led a candlelight vigil for three murder victims Tuesday night.
Pastor Tom Killgore spoke to more than 100 people in attendance about a teenage rape victim who was the only survivor from her family. She lost her brother Mason, 5, sister Marissa, 9, and mother Mandy Folsom, 35, Sunday night to murder.
"We are honored you can be with us tonight," Killgore told the victim. "At times you will feel more alone, but remember us — we are all here because we value life and we are sorry for what has happened to you."
The message of healing and hope was spread among, "people of all kinds of faiths who are together because they care for you," Killgore said.
St. Thomas More Hospital Spiritual Leader Maureen Donlin, who said she counseled with the victim Sunday night after the "senseless tragedy." She said the community is hurting and stunned by the three deaths and the victim's assault.
"Whether you knew the family, any kind of loss like this affects us all. It may be hard to see Canon City, but there will be a tomorrow," Killgore said.
"What matters most is that as a community we are strong," he said.
The ceremony was marked by the singing of three hymns during which mothers cradled their children tight.

Few Must Stop Ruling Many
To The Reader's Forum:
100 years ago Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act.
A few years later he wrote: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit."
So, after 100 years, we have to realize that courses taken so long ago cannot be reversed in one sweeping motion: the government shutdown and the refusal to raise the debt ceiling. Why, after all these years, have we come so close to self-destruction under this one particular president? Why is he hated so much by the far right that they are willing to destroy the world economy, literally overnight?
It is time we take a deep breath and take our time with everyone involved, to learn how to tighten our belt without hurting the poorest of the poor first, as has been the routine every time cuts happen. The sequester alone has hurt millions of our poor, and now the tea party wants more blood from the turnip.
It is time for the few to stop ruling the many.

Since I do not usually drink flavored tea these days, I usually ignored it. One day, the green tea was soooo bad, I had to do something. The lemon slice was truly magical in how it transformed a really crappy cup of bitter brew into an enjoyable cup.
So, a lemon slice works nicely too.

Dad: W.Va. sheriff slaying suspect mentally 'off'
WILLIAMSON, W.Va. – The man suspected of killing a West Virginia sheriff as he ate lunch in his car was mentally disturbed and had no particular vendetta against law enforcement, his father told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Melvin Maynard said his 37-year-old son, Tennis Melvin Maynard, was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. He most likely did not target Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, he said.
"He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I'm saying?" the elder Maynard said.
"I know he was off. I know he should have been in a hospital," the father said, adding that his son had previously been in an institution. He refused to elaborate, saying only that "the same problem was eating him again."
Witnesses told police Maynard was alone when he shot Crum, and investigators still haven't determined why he shot the sheriff, said Dave Rockel, the Mingo County Drug Task Force commander and Williamson police chief.
Crum had been in office just three months before he was killed Wednesday afternoon, making good on a campaign pledge to help rid the southern coalfields of the illegal prescription drug trade blamed for thousands of addictions and overdoses.
Friends say he was shot to death in the spot where he parked most days, keeping an eye on a place that had been shut down for illegally dispensing prescription drugs to be sure it didn't reopen.
Tennis Maynard was shot and wounded by a Mingo deputy in a chase following the attack on Crum. State Police say he crashed his car into a bridge in his hometown of Delbarton, then got out and pointed a weapon at the deputy, who fired in self-defense.
State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous said Tennis Maynard is expected to survive and remained at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington on Thursday.
Maynard has been charged with murder in Crum's death and attempted murder in the incident with the deputy, authorities said.
Before Crum's death, Maynard had never faced criminal charges in West Virginia, according to county and state records. Baylous said State Police had responded to past incidents involving Maynard, though he declined to elaborate.
The mental health problems described by Maynard's father appear to stem from a lightning strike near a drilling rig at Drummond Co.'s Shoal Creek mine on June 27, 2007. Tennis Maynard sued more than two dozen people and companies in 2009 over injuries he said he suffered at the mine. A lightning strike sparked an explosion, which news reports at the time said injured six people.
The lawsuit doesn't detail the nature of his physical injuries or say exactly what happened. But Maynard claimed he endured "extreme, severe, prolonged emotional and mental pain and suffering," depression and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the incident.
The mine west of Birmingham had been cited for a string of safety problems and had been shut down for six months the year before the lightning strike, when methane gas ignited and the mine flooded.
The case had been put on hold, and a hearing was set for August.
Maynard's attorney in that case, Craig Lowell, didn't immediately return telephone and email messages.
Meanwhile, Crum's death shook the state, with lawmakers and others at the Capitol wearing black ribbons and law enforcement wearing black stripes on their badges.
Residents had praised the former police chief's new drug crackdown, dubbed Operation Zero Tolerance. It already had led to dozens of indictments, so his friends and supporters couldn't help but suspect a connection to his death.
The fight against prescription drugs has been a high-profile one joined by federal authorities who say they have prosecuted 200 pill dealers in the past two years. The epicenter has been the southern coalfields, including Crum's Mingo County, a region with a violent past. It saw battles in the legendary feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families, and was dubbed "Bloody Mingo when unionizing miners battled security agents hired by coal companies in the early 20th century.

Malik Rahim on Black Panthers and Black resistance in New Orleans
An interview on the 30th anniversary of the Desire Shoot-out
by Brice White
Nearly 100 cops, armed with "everything from a 60-caliber machine gun and armored cars down to their revolvers," Malik recalls, moved in on the Panthers.
Photo: New Orleans Times-Picayune
Malik Rahim, born in New Orleans to a family whose roots go back to slavery there, was a founder of the Louisiana Chapter of the Black Panther Party. When this interview was broadcast on New Orleans station WTUL 91.5 FM, on March 13, 2000, he had brought his revolutionary organizing skills to San Francisco, where he lived for a decade. Since then, he has returned to New Orleans, where, immediately after Katrina, he founded Common Ground Collective, a grassroots organization serving thousands of survivors, rebuilding homes, livelihoods and lives.
Bruce: I wanted to get you, Malik, to talk about the 30th anniversary of the shoot-out in the Desire projects right here in New Orleans.
Malik: Well, it was in the first shoot-out, and at that time, at the time when we first came together to organize a Black Panther Party chapter in New Orleans, the governor of this state, McKidden, came on TV and swore he would never allow the Panthers to ever get established in Louisiana.
Malik Rahim travels far and wide raising funds and recruiting volunteers to work with New Orleanians to rebuild their lives and their city. Learn more at www.CommonGroundRelief.org.
The National Committee to Combat Fascism was the first step in organizing a Black Panther Party chapter. On Sept. 15, 1970, there was the first shoot-out between members of the National Committee to Combat Fascism and the New Orleans Police Department, and the second one was the week prior to Thanksgiving in 1970.
Bruce: Were you from all over the city, or were you from one specific area?
Malik: No, that's really it. A sister named Betty Toussaint and my first wife Barbara Thomas and I came out of Algiers, the Fischer area. Most of the Party members came out of the Calliope projects, and at that time the African American community in New Orleans was one that was very territorial. If you came from the Ninth Ward, you stayed in Ninth Ward. If you came from the 15th Ward, you stayed in the 15th Ward.
This was the first time where you had individuals from all over the city coming together. But most of the members came from the Calliope projects and then the Magnolia projects, so those two brought us the most members.
Bruce: The first house you had was in St. Thomas?
Malik: Yes, we started establishing programs in the St. Thomas projects – our education program, our breakfast program – and at that time we were also beginning to organize the crime prevention program. Now, we had only been in existence in New Orleans for about five or six months, so then we get our eviction notice. And at every place that we would rent, as soon as we would open up our office, we'd get a notice.
Our location at the time was at the St. Thomas. Our group was having a meeting, and then some people from the Desire housing projects came and told us about their plight with crime and asked if we'd come back and help them. With the eviction notice, we decided to move our office to Desire. Our new building was already being occupied by a community activist program called the Sons of Desire. The Sons of Desire was downstairs, and we was upstairs.
Bruce: This was the house on Piety Street?
Malik: Yes, this was the house on Piety. Shortly after we moved in, we received an eviction notice there too.
Bruce: Most people don't know anything about the shoot-out that y'all went through in Desire.
Malik: Well, there was basically 11 of us in the party office at the time, and almost a hundred police with everything from a 60-caliber machine gun and armored cars down to their revolvers. We had about nine shotguns and a couple of handguns, .357 revolvers. But everything we had was legally purchased, and it was registered to our office.
Our position was that African Americans should no longer be lynched or beaten or attacked and have their rights taken away without any form of resistance. We believed that you had a right to defend yourself, you had a right to defend your community, you had a right to defend your family and you had the right to defend your honor as a human being.
The reason that we survived the shoot-out was because the community stood with us. They wouldn't leave and allow the police to do their dastardly deeds. During the short period we'd been in the Desire, we reduced crime to just about zero percent. The Desire projects went from one of the highest crime areas in the city to one of the lowest. It was compatible to any middle class white community by the time of the shoot-out.
And so the community looked at what we did and they looked at what the police came in there telling them – all these contradictions about what we were gonna do and what was gonna happen – they didn't believe it. They were defiant. They not only didn't believe it, but they stood up for us in the second shoot-out.
Now when we opened our second office in the Desire, 600 police came the second time –600 police, National Guard and state troopers. And then almost 5,000 people came out of the Desire projects and stood between the police and our office and refused to move.
That was the reason we survived the second shoot-out. It took them to do a deed that is about the greatest betrayal of morality that I have ever witnessed to get us. They came and raided the office the second time dressed as priests.
They borrowed priest's uniforms from the priests here at Loyola who had been coming to our free breakfast program. Those priests had been telling us "We're gonna bring you some more food so you can continue to feed the kids" and then they go and give their uniforms to the police. Betty Toussaint, the sister from Algiers, was shot through the door when they raided the house.
And here in New Orleans, like many places in the country, this was the first time that there was an act of armed defiance against the white power structure where the Blacks that participated in it had survived. And they were hell-bent on making sure that since we had survived that we would spend the rest of our lives in Angola.
This is our 30th year since then, and this is a part of history that our youth and the youth of this nation need to know about – not only what we did and accomplished, but what caused the condition for the emergence of the Black Panther Party. It has to be known, it cannot be a part of history that is just kicked on the side.
Stay tuned for Part 2 next week.

Saranac Lake rezones AMA land
SARANAC LAKE – Less than a month after the village Board of Trustees approved the annexation of the American Management Association campus into the village, the board has agreed to rezone the property as a planned development district.
Trustees voted 4-0 Monday to approve a local law that amends the village zoning map and land-use code to designate AMA's 63 acres at the "M" zoning district. The local law also says all permitted and conditional uses in the M district will be established through adoption of a planned unit development, or PUD.
AMA officials have said they want to develop some of their unused buildings and vacant land, and they've said the PUD classification will give them more flexibility in knowing what future uses will be allowed on the property. The company will have to go through the PUD process with both the planning board and the village board before any new development can take place.
"(The process) allows the village and AMA to look at the entire site in totality, look at all the different issues, development, historic structures, traffic and environmental issues, and come up with a plan that works for both the property owner and for the village," village Community Development Director Jeremy Evans said last month.
There were no comments from the audience during a public hearing held prior to Monday's vote.
The village had agreed to consider a PUD application from AMA as part of an annexation agreement the board approved in 2011. The deal required AMA to grant the village easements across its property to allow for construction associated with the village's $12.5 million water project. In return, the village agreed to improve some of the infrastructure on the company's property and take over maintenance of AMA Way, which runs between Trudeau Road and a gate at the end of Park Avenue that's now been opened up to through traffic.
The deal also required AMA to petition the village and town to annex its property into the village. It did so last year, and both the village and town boards approved the annexation last month.
Sewer project
The board also voted Monday to submit an application to the North Country Regional Economic Development Council for gap financing for a major sewer line replacement project.
The village is asking for up to $190,000, or 20 percent of the $950,000 project cost, to replace what's called the LaPan sewer line, which has partially collapsed. Village Manager John Sweeney said the sewer line runs from the former village offices on Main Street up to LaPan Highway and Dorsey Street.
The resolution approved by the board says the sewer line serves a large portion of the village and part of the town of Harrietstown, including several major employers: Trudeau Institute, St. Joseph's Addiction Treatment and Recovery Centers, and the Saranac Lake Central School District. It's also located along Lake Flower and the Saranac River, and if it failed, it would spill sewage into those water bodies, the resolution states.
The village plans to finance whatever project costs are not covered by state grant funds through long-term borrowing and reserves.
Trustee Allie Pelletieri asked if the village is seeking other grants or just the one from the NCREDC.
"This is the initial direction," he said. "We'll be looking for other ones, but truthfully there are very few grants out there we'll be able to get for this project."
Sweeney said the village is under an "order on consent" from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to replace the sewer line.
Later in the meeting, Pelletieri said village staff met recently with he and Trustee Barbara Rice to discuss a draft memorandum of understanding with the Saranac Lake SkatePark Committee. The MOU spells out the details such as how the skatepark, once it's built by the volunteer committee, will be transitioned to the village to be run as a park, according to village Manager John Sweeney.
"We're going to get that done, and our plan is to send it to the rest of the board members so they can look that over," Pelletieri said. "After they've looked it over and had their comments, we'll move on to a meeting with the skateboard committee. After we've gone over it with them and we're all still in agreement, we'll move into a discussion with the neighboring properties of where this facility may be located."
The current plan is to locate the skatepark in an embankment on village property next to the Enterprise building, including part of the village parking lot behind Community Bank on Broadway, Sweeney said.
Pelletieri said he's hopeful the board will be able to make a final decision to approve the skatepark site and plan at its May 28 meeting.
Pedestrian bridge
The state Department of Transportation has reportedly responded to the board's request to revise the design of the new pedestrian bridge over LaPan Highway, but village officials didn't seem satisfied with the changes.
DOT officials said in March they had designed a new bridge similar to the one that was razed after being hit twice by heavy equipment being pulled on a trailer. The new design – a concrete and steel beam span with galvanized fencing along its sides – didn't sit well with the board, which called on the state to come up with a more attractive bridge for one of the major gateways to the community.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau said Monday the DOT has since come back with some changes.
"They said they would change the color of concrete to beige, and the galvanized, jail-like, chain-link fence would be changed to brown, or green," Rabideau said.
Sweeney said Friday he's not sure how soon the new bridge will be erected and whether there will be any additional changes to the design.

The Round Rock, Texas company also gave weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter guidance, projecting sales between $13.97 billion and $14.38 billion. Wall Street was looking for revenue of $14.48 billion.
Dell was also one of the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 142,557.
Qualcomm(QCOM) , which hosted its financial analyst day in San Diego on Thursday, slipped 0.02% to $61.27 in premarket trading.

Welcome to ...
OTTI 2010 Round 1, Master of the Oolong!!!
Supplies will be limited as I mentioned previously. If you want to participate, PM me asap! See my reply post below for the nuts and bolts on how to participate.
This OTTI features, in case you did not already guess, Adagio Master Series Oolong listed below.
You will receive 4, there will be a mystery guest crashing this Oolong OTTI.
I will also be including bonus oolong to early birds.
OK, here goes ... these are the 3 greener oolong from the Adagio Master Series. Remember there will be a 4th Mystery Oolong for each participant, and one bonus for early birds.
Adagio Master Series Fujian Ti Kuan Yin: http://www.adagio.com/masters/fujian_ti_kuan_yin.html?SID=43a7c73ea1f17fb3cc2796153106ce65
Adagio Master Series Ali Shan: http://www.adagio.com/masters/formosa_ali_shan.html?SID=43a7c73ea1f17fb3cc2796153106ce65
Adagio Master Series Pouchong: http://www.adagio.com/masters/formosa_pouchong.html?SID=43a7c73ea1f17fb3cc2796153106ce65
Premium Mystery Oolong from Hsinchu Taiwan
And a Bonus Oolong for early birds!
Cost for Round 1 for current members of TeaChat:
USA members: $7.00
Canadian Members: 8.50 UDS
European Members: 10.00 USD
EDIT 1: Greetings OTTI participants!
Hopefully you will be receiving your teas very soon! All packages went out Thursday and Friday with one exception. This was quite an undertaking, 3 OTTI-s at the same time. Note to self, don't do that again!
This was also exasperated by several unanticipated delays, most notably a vendor who was most uncooperative and who I will be posting about shortly. Also there was a problem with the packaging! So, I did have to majorly improvise this time around! My apologies! Hopefully the packaging will be fully resolved in time for the next OTTI.
So when you receive your OTTI, I would suggest opening it up and placing the samples into more packaging. You can place the samples in their current wrapping directly into a canister or a vendor foil bag.
The packing is a bit of a balancing act. I would not want to over extend thus significantly increasing the participants cost for the OTTI-s, but the packaging was NOT as planned and will improve!!!
So, look for improvements there. This being the first rounds, there will be a learning curve. I am open to constructive comments, suggestions!
OK, now on to the TEA!
Remember to post in the OTTI topics!!!
EDIT 2: OTTI Round 2 Oolong! Some of these I never tried before ... so we learn and experiment together!!!
Be sure to use all your senses in the tasting, smelling the dry leaf, observing it dry and wet, again smelling the brewed tea, etc.
There should be 4 samples, plus a bonus selection. So 5 total. The primary players in this OTTI are the 3 Adagio Masters Green Oolong, namely Masters Ali Shan, Fujian TKY, and Taiwan Pouchong. So, that is the first and primary focus of our OTTI #2.
Each sample contains virtually 8 grams of leaf with a few exceptions, so if you use half for each session, that is 4 grams. I am offering the leaf ratio I used for each, however you can adjust according to your taste.
The 4th sample varied a bit as did the bonus selection! They should all be interesting selections and include one darker oolong as the 4th sample. Some received Rishi's Bai Hao Hsinchu which I quite enjoyed. Some received Adagio's Dan Cong which is a very approachable Dan Cong. And others received an aged Zhong Shan Baiye. Might have been one more?
For the bonus, most participants received "similar" Adagio Oolong to the 3 Masters Green Oolong, namely ... their regular Ali Shan (their first ever Ali Shan) and Huang Jin Bolero (similar to a TKY).
After this was depleted, I made sure everyone received an interesting bonus anyway! Some received Ancient Tea Flowers which are actual flowers from ancient tea trees used in Pu-erh production in Yunnan ... this tea does not fit into any normal "type" but is something that the few lucky particiapants should enjoy.
EDIT 3: Brewing. OK, I have brewed a LOT of oolong, but I am more of a greenie as everyone knows. Thus please chime in with your ideas and how your way is different. My temps tend to be a tad cooler as well, the influence of liking green teas? So, there is not a strict right or wrong here, adjust to taste, experiment ... AND HAVE FUN!!!
Brewing vessels. I will be using a gaiwan or gaiwanesque (gaiwan for dunmmies ... or gaiwan with panache depending on who you ask). On ocassion I will use glass for increased observation of the unfurling of the leaves.
How much. If you have been on TC long enough, you have likely heard the term ratio used in determining how much leaf to use. A ratio is simply general or preferred strength that allows increasing and decreasing of either leaf weight or volume water while keeping the strength steady.
Generally, the longer you have been drinking oolong, the higher leaf ratio you will use. Newer to oolong, you will generally use lower ratios. But give the higher ratios a try!
Your leaf ratio is calculated X grams leaf : Y ounces water. If you fill in the grams at 4, you can adjust the amount of water to find your ratio. Or you can fill in a value for the water and adjust the amount of leaf. I am suggesting using 4 grams leaf for each session and adjusting the amount of water. And I offer corresponding amounts of water below based on using 4 grams, rounded off. This will also give you 2 full sessions, just use half each time.
1:1 4 grams : 4ounces water. I would call this semi gong fu. You can offer alternative suggestions!!! You will know you are in the ballpark if the leaves virtually fill the brewing vessel after a few steeps.
Or you can eyeball oolong pretty easily. Fully covering the bottom of your vessel is about right for the "balled" oolong. Half full or even more is about right for the wiry, fluffy oolong.
But for actual tastings, many brewers want it a bit on the precise side, then they will brew more casually with later sessions.
(then again, oolong can be brewed in a semi Western style as well)
Temperatures! This is so subjective. I have observed those who like darker oolong also tend to brew their greener oolong hotter than some who I would classify as green tea drinkers. So, this will be an area of some debate!!!
Temp wise I will share what I do, and by all means, other participants may offer alternatives. For greener oolong I simply pour the boiling water in to a cooling pitcher and then intuitively pour this over the leaves when I feel the temp is right.
Darker Oolong, up to boiling.
Time for this semi gong fu ... around a minute. I judge by aroma mostly, and somewhat by color.
Problems: Too intense, decrease leaf. Too bitter, decrease temp and/or time. Cooler water makes for a less aromatic but sweeter cup.
Multiple steeps. Absolutely! A good rule of thumb for me (you may need to adjust) …
2nd 185*, 30-60 sec
3rd 190*, 60 sec
4th 195* 60-120 sec
This is something I do not really regulate closely, just kind of go with the flow.

I'm writing this from a hotel on St. Charles Avenue after a night of revelry in the streets of New Orleans. If you've never been to Mardi Gras, you might assume that the partying is confined to Fat Tuesday itself, but Mardi Gras day is just the culmination of all the parties and parades that have been going on over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday, out on the street for over twelve hours, my family and I were able to catch six parades (and a couple of bags of purple, green, and gold beads). Tonight we'll be back out there for four more, and we'll stay to see Zulu and Rex on Tuesday before we return to real life.
You would think that because we're in New Orleans we'd get to sample a lot of great New Orleans-style food, but the truth is that, though N.O. has become more vegan-friendly over the last few years, there don't seem to be many restaurants that offer meatless versions of gumbo, etoufee, or even red beans and rice. While we're here, we'll seek out great Vietnamese food or maybe Tapas, but we won't be able to find Eggplant Creole. Last week, in anticipation of our trip, I began craving spicy New Orleans food, and since I knew I probably couldn't get it here, I made it myself.
Étouffée is basically seafood (usually) or meat cooked in a thick gravy that begins with a roux, a mixture of flour and oil that is cooked until it turns a rich brown color. Then the Louisiana trinity is added–onions, celery, and green pepper–along with broth and herbs and lots of red, black, and white pepper to achieve a sauce so flavorful that you could probably cook an old non-leather wallet in it and have it come out delicious. Making a vegan etoufee is easy–just use vegetable broth and non-meat protein–but making a fat-free etoufee is a little more challenging because the roux that gives it the rich, smoky flavor requires fat.
Or does it? As it turns out, you can make a great "dry roux" just by browning the flour alone in a dry skillet. Like any roux, you have to stir it nearly constantly and make sure it doesn't burn, but once it's browned and blended with vegetable broth, it forms a thick, flavorful gravy that I, at least, prefer to an oily traditional roux.
I don't usually use a lot of fake meats, and when I do, I make them myself. But since Mardi Gras is all about excess, I went all out and used a processed vegan sausage for this etoufee, and I have to say, it was one of the best, most decadent-tasting dishes I've made in a long time. I hope you'll give it a try for a little taste of Mardi with not so much of the Gras.
Gluten-Free Friends: Obviously, this recipe is not gluten-free as written, but I've heard that people have had good luck making a roux from Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour Blend. Just use it to replace the flour, and brown it the same way. As for the sausage, you could try replacing it with cubes of baked tofu or tempeh or use red beans. And don't forget to substitute gluten-free tamari for the soy sauce or use salt instead.
Sausage and Mushroom Étouffée
A quarter teaspoon each of the cayenne, white, and black pepper will probably provide enough heat for most people, but if you like your food fiery, add more to taste, but try to keep the amounts balanced. If you don't like spicy dishes, start with 1/8 teaspoon of each pepper and build up from there.
- 1/3 cup unbleached white flour
- 2 cups "no-chicken" or other vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, stemmed and halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 14-16 ounces vegan sausage (such as Tofurky or Fauxsages), sliced thickly
- 4 green onions (scallions), sliced
- Put the flour in a small skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until it is the color of light brown sugar, about 15 minutes. Be very careful–it burns easily if not stirred. If it burns, throw it out and start over again. When it reaches the right color, transfer it to the blender, add the broth, and blend it until smooth. Set aside.
- While you're stirring the flour, you can begin cooking the vegetables. Heat a large non-stick skillet. Add the onion and cook for about three minutes, adding water by the tablespoon if needed to prevent sticking. Add the celery and bell pepper and continue to cook until the onion is beginning to brown. Add the mushrooms and a tablespoon of water and cover tightly. Cook until the mushrooms begin to exude their liquid, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Give the flour mixture another quick whirl in the blender and add it to the vegetables. Add the soy sauce and all the seasonings and cook, stirring often, until sauce has thickened. Reduce heat and add the sliced sausage. Cover and cook on low for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the gravy seems too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.
- Check the seasonings and add more pepper and salt if needed. Stir in the green onions and serve over rice.

Avoiding Noise
Read the "Avoiding Noise" Handout
The Seattle Police Department receives hundreds of noise complaints every year. Seattle is a large city with many diverse neighborhoods, both residential and commercial, so a certain level of tolerance is expected. Certain types of noise are permitted and not considered illegal. Only when the noise meets the threshold outlined in the law can police intervene. If you are experiencing noise problems alone and prioritized on the low end of the dispatch scale, this can be frustrating. We suggest that you first try contacting the people responsible for the noise. Often times, they are not aware of the discomfort they are causing. If you feel uneasy about direct contact or the person has been uncooperative or is "under the influence," you can call 911 for assistance.
Please remember that noise complaints on busy weekend nights when calls involving violent disturbances are more frequent and it often takes a considerable amount of time to get an officer to respond. As a result, sometimes the noise ends before police are able to respond. Officers often issue verbal warnings to the offending parties especially if they are cooperative and the officer is confident that the noise will stop as a result of police contact. Solving chronic noise problems, however, can be a process requiring multiple calls to police over a period of time.
What can I do about loud & rowdy house parties?
Seattle Municipal Code 25.08.505: It is unlawful for any person to knowingly allow real property under one's possession or control to be used for a residential disturbance, as defined in SMC Section 25.08.225
Seattle Municipal Code 25.08.225:
"Residential disturbance" means a gathering of more than one (1) person at a residential property located in a single family or multifamily zone, as defined SMC Section 23.84.048 between the hours of 10:00 P.M., (11:00 P.M. on Friday and Saturday nights) and 7:00 A.M., at which noise associated with the gathering is frequent, repetitive or continuous and is audible to a person of normal hearing at a distance of seventy-five (75) feet or more from the property.
Penalties: Officers may issue a civil infraction (citation) on the spot. The fine for the infraction is $250. A person who continues to be in violation of this ordinance after receiving an infraction or who again violates this ordinance within 24 hours of receiving an infraction, can be charged with a crime. If found guilty, a judge may impose a maximum sentence of up to 180 days incarceration in jail, and/or a fine up to $500.
In addition to criminal penalties, the property owner is notified when a tenant or other person has received more than one citation. A residential property at which 3 or more violations have occurred within a 12-month period may constitute a nuisance and be subjected to an abatement action provided that the person(s) responsible for the violation were residents of the same housing unit during this time. If the property owner does not take action to evict the tenant responsible for the 3 violations or otherwise abate further violations, the court may prohibit the property owner from renting the property.
Note: The offending noise must emanate from a residentially zoned property. This code section does not cover noise from commercial establishments, even though the victim lives in a residentially zoned property. This ordinance does not require that the offender be given a warning or that you be contacted by a police officer or be identified on the citation.
Seattle Municipal Code 25.08.500: It is unlawful to knowingly cause, make or allow unreasonable noise to emanate from property under ones control, which disturbs another, and to refuse or intentionally fail to cease the unreasonable noise when ordered to do so by a police officer. "Unreasonable noise" includes loud, raucous, frequent, repetitive, or continuous sounds made by: animals; horns or sirens other than emergency equipment, motor vehicles being repaired, tested, etc: musical instruments or sound amplifiers; human voices, amplified, between the hours of 10:00 P.M. & 7:00 A.M.
Penalties: A violation of this section is a crime. Upon conviction, a judge may impose a maximum penalty of up to 180 days incarceration in jail, and/or up to $500 fine for violation of this code.
Note: This ordinance requires that officers first provide a warning to the offender. If the noise continues, you must be willing to call police again; 911 to report the violation and request contact. You must be willing to allow the officer to verify the noise is unreasonable from your premises and you must be willing to be identified on a police report. You may be required to testify in any resulting criminal case.
Seattle Municipal Code 25.08.515: Sound from motor vehicle sound system clearly heard at a distance of 75 feet from where it is originating. 75 feet is comparable to the length of a standard swimming pool.
Penalty: A violation of this ordinance is a civil infraction, punishable by a maximum fine of $500.
It is unlawful for a person to allow sound to be generated from portable audio equipment such as a "boom box" or from an automobile sound system if it can clearly be heard at a distance of 75 feet from the source of the sound, while in a park, residential or commercial zone, or within close proximity to a school or bus.
Penalty: A violation of this code is also a civil infraction punishable by a maximum fine of $50.

The Heart of the Hellgate 100K"The list of the top times at Hellgate is actually a Who's Who of Ultrarunning,"

"The list of the top times at Hellgate is actually a Who's Who of Ultrarunning," says Sophie Spiedel, seven-time veteran and third-place finisher in the 2012 race. "The Hellgate field [always] has a good number of veterans, and we consider ourselves part of the Hellgate family with David Horton [race director] as our leader."
This year, the hours leading up to the race start had a "somber feel" says Spediel, a result of David Horton's impending seven-bypass, open-heart surgery. Evidencing Horton's dedication, eventual third-place finisher, Troy Shellhammer wrote in an email, "Difficult though the race was, a bit of perspective was provided by [Horton's] impending heart surgery. It's a testament to how special this race is to him—and how important he is to the race—that he scheduled major surgery for the Monday after the race."
Speidel continues, "On the day of the surgery, many, many runners of Hellgate and other David Horton events posted photos on Facebook of themselves at Horton race finish lines—he has so many supporters."
Says accomplished area runner Eric Grossman, describing a moment of silence as the runners toed the line that Friday night, "The normal commotion of the start line gave way to complete quiet. While running ultras may be something people do for recreation, it would be hard to overstate the impact that Horton has had on peoples' lives."
Horton's signature Hellgate 100K, held in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Natural Bridge, Virginia, is unlike most races. Its distance, GPS measured at greater than 66 miles, "delivers the same (if not more) epic feel of running a 100-miler, and is just as tough," says Spiedel.
Horton, whose resume boasts over 70,000 cumulative miles, 110 ultra starts, 38 wins, an Appalachian Trail speed record and the third-fastest transcontinental crossing of the United States, is also race director of a number of other well-known and deservedly feared races, including Mountain Masochist 50-Mile Trail Race and the Holiday Lake 50K.
