Statement of Purpose and Policy
Journal of Endourology will accept original manuscripts containing material that has not been reported elsewhere except in the form of an abstract of no more than 250 - 300 words. Due to the large number of manuscripts received, Journal of Endourology has adopted a policy of discouraging publication of case reports. Only on rare occasions, will a single case report be sent for review. These reports would be limited to cases of a groundbreaking nature. Authors are encouraged to suggest names of appropriate
Manuscripts must be submitted online using the following url: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/endourology
Videourology: Click here for author instructions and submission information.
Please read all the instructions to authors before submitting.
Manuscripts should be submitted with the understanding that they have neither been published, nor are under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract. Prior abstract publications should be described in the form of a footnote to the title. Published manuscripts become the sole property of the Journal and will be copyrighted by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. By submitting a manuscript to the Journal, the author(s) agree(s) to each of the conditions herein. In addition, the author(s) explicitly assign(s) any copyrighted ownership he/she (they) may have in such manuscript to the Journal.
Upon acceptance of any manuscript, all authors will receive a follow-up email with instructions on how to complete our online Copyright Agreement form. It is critical to ensure the accuracy of ALL authors' email addresses when uploading submissions to Manuscript Central to ensure the proper delivery of all email communications.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with coauthors to make sure they have completed the online copyright form. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form acknowledging the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright.
All accepted manuscripts will be processed through plagiarism detection software, and any notice of acceptance is considered conditional, pending the review and verification of the plagiarism detection report. If the report detects a high incidence of plagiarism, the Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to rescind the decision to accept the paper. Plagiarized manuscripts will be rejected immediately.
Prepare manuscripts double spaced throughout. Leave ample margins on the sides, top, and bottom of the page. Please submit text of manuscripts in Microsoft Word.
The title page should include the authors' names and affiliations, the source of a work or study (if any), and a running title of about 45 characters. Please indicate the complete address, phone and fax number and e-mail addresses of all authors, and indicate the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. The second page should contain an abstract of no more than 250 - 300 words, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The manuscript should follow this format: abstract, introduction, materials (or patients) and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgments, disclosures, and references. Number pages consecutively.
The Journal publishes all accepted papers within 72 hours of acceptance in their unedited, uncorrected format. It is important to note that the information that is published online, and in all indexing services, is pulled directly from the data that is populated into the fields in Manuscript Central – NOT from the manuscript file – when the paper is originally uploaded to the system for peer review. Consequently, any errors contained in the system will remain on our website and all indexing services, including Medline, until the next revision of the article is published. As such, it is critical that authors enter all authors' names correctly into the system at the time of submission.
The next revision will take place after the corresponding author sees page proofs, makes any necessary corrections, and returns the changes to the Publisher. Once the alterations are completed, the revised version will be published on our website, and the newly corrected information will then be released to Medline/PubMed, in addition to any other indexing services in which the Journal is included.
Please note that the typical time between acceptance of a paper and page proof distribution is approximately 4-8 weeks depending on the length and complexity of the paper.
Because "ESWL" is a trademark, we prefer "SWL" to be used as the acronym for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. Please follow the requested style to avoid delays in publication. Consult an issue of the Journal for the exact format.
Changes in authorship are not permitted after acceptance of a paper.

Patient identifying data from all images must be deleted. A maximum of four figures per article will be accepted. For details regarding specifications for the images, please follow the guidelines under the "Tables and Illustration" section below.
Tables and Illustrations
Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Each table must stand alone; i.e., contain all necessary information in the caption, and the table itself must be understood independently of the text. Details of experimental conditions should be included in the table footnotes. Information that appears in the text should not be repeated in tables, and tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
Please follow these instructions when preparing files for uploading:
- Do not include any illustrations as part of your text file.
- Do not prepare any figures in Word as they are not workable.
- Line illustrations must be submitted at 900 DPI.

Figures should be numbered in the order cited in the text. _____________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT: Please upload individual files of all manuscript material—do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files of your paper. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and the peer-review process.
References should be presented in the following style:
Journal articles:
Smith AD, Reinke DB, Miller R, et al. Percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of ureteral and renal calculi. Radiology 1979; 133:49-54.
Clayman RV, Casteneda-Zuniga WR: Patient selection and patient preparation. In: Techniques in Endourology: A Guide to the Percutaneous Removal of Renal and Ureteral Calculi. Chicago: Year Book Medical Publishers, Inc., 1986, pp 12–18.
If it is necessary to cite an abstract, this should be so designated. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references and are reminded that inaccurate references are highly frustrating to the reader, the cited author, and indexing services. Abbreviations of journal titles should follow Medline.
Rapid Peer Review Papers
Authors who wish to have their peer review papers rapidly reviewed so these papers will appear in the earliest possible issues may do so at a cost of $300 per article. When submitting online please select a manuscript type of "Rapid Review." The fee must be paid by credit card. The submitting author will be asked to enter the payment info as the last step prior to submitting. Decisions will be made no later than one week after submission.
Disclosure Statement
Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, include a section entitled "Author Disclosure Statement." This text must be part of your actual manuscript file, not just entered into Manuscript Central. In this portion of the article, authors must disclose any commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the article is being reviewed and will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at http://www.icmje.org/index.htlm#conflicts for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state "No competing financial interests exist."
Patients and Study Participants
All manuscripts must comply with the privacy and confidentiality requirements outlined on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals website. For more information, visit http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/protection-of-research-participants.html
When articles include reports of studies on human subjects, state in the Methods section that an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee approved the study. Authors who do not have formal ethics review committees should follow the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. In the Methods section, state that informed consent was obtained from subjects (specify written or verbal).
The principal author must state that if animals were used experimentally, permission was obtained from the appropriate committee(s), and that the animals were treated humanely and the standards conformed to those of current ethical animal research practices.
In addition, text and photographs should not reveal any identifying information unless it is essential for scientific purposes (in which case, consent should be obtained). Masking the subjects' eyes in photographs is often insufficient to protect their identity.
Study Design and Ethics
Documented review and approval from a formally constituted review board (Institutional Review Board or Ethics committee) should be required for all studies involving people, medical records, and human tissues. For those investigators who do not have access to formal ethics review committees, the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki should be followed. If the study is judged exempt from review, a statement from the committee should be required. Informed consent by participants should always be secured. If not possible, an institutional review board must decide if this is ethically acceptable. This information should be outlined in the cover letter accompanying the submission, and a sentence declaring adherence should be included in the acknowledgment section of the manuscript.
Animal experiments should require full compliance with local, national, ethical, and regulatory principles, and local licensing arrangements.
Definitions of Scientific Misconduct
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers generally follows the guidelines and rules regarding scientific misconduct put forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the Office of Research Integrity (ORI).
Scientific misconduct and violation of publishing ethics vary and can be intentionally or unintentionally perpetrated. Some examples of misconduct and violations include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Scientific Misconduct: Fabrication, falsification, concealment, deceptive reporting, or misrepresentation of any data constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Authorship Disputes: Deliberate misrepresentation of a scientist's contribution to the published work, or purposefully omitting the contributions of a scientist.
Misappropriation of the ideas of others: Improper use of scholarly exchange and activity may constitute fraud. Wholesale appropriation of such material constitutes misconduct.
Violation of generally accepted research practices: Serious deviation from accepted practices in proposing or carrying out research, improper manipulation of experiments to obtain biased results, deceptive statistical or analytical manipulations, or improper reporting of results constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Material failure to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements affecting research:
Including but not limited to serious or substantial, repeated, willful violations of applicable local regulations and law involving the use of funds, care of animals, human subjects, investigational drugs, recombinant products, new devices, or radioactive, biologic, or chemical materials constitutes misconduct.
- Conflict of Interest: Nondisclosure of any conflicts, direct or indirect, to the Journal which prevents you from being unbiased constitutes misconduct.
- Deliberate misrepresentation: of qualifications, experience, or research accomplishments to advance the research program, to obtain external funding, or for other professional advancement constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Plagiarism: Purposely claiming another's work or idea as your own constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
- Simultaneous Submission: Submitting a paper to more than one publication at the same time constitutes misconduct.
Responding to Allegations of Possible Misconduct
The Publisher is committed to helping protect the integrity of the public scientific record by sharing reasonable concerns with authorities who are in the position to conduct an appropriate investigation into an allegation. As such, all allegations of misconduct will be referred to the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal who in turn will review the circumstances, possibly in consultation with associate editors and/or members of the editorial board. Initial fact-finding will usually include a request to all the involved parties to state their case and explain the circumstances in writing. In questions of research misconduct centering on methods or technical issues, the Editor-In-Chief may confidentially consult experts who are blinded to the identity of the individuals, or if the allegation is against an editor, an outside expert. The Editor-In-Chief will arrive at a conclusion as to whether there is enough reasonable evidence that the possibility of misconduct occurred.
When allegations concern authors, the peer review and publication process for the manuscript in question will cease while the process described herein is researched. The investigation will be taken to completion even if the authors withdraw their paper. In the case of allegations against reviewers or editors, they will be replaced in the review process while the matter is investigated.
Editors or reviewers who are found to have engaged in scientific misconduct will be removed from further association with the Journal, and reported to their institution.
If an inquiry concludes there is a reasonable possibility of misconduct, the Editor-in-Chief will retract the paper from the Journal and the scientific record. If the paper is still under peer review, the Editor-in-Chief will withdraw the paper from consideration to the Journal.
All allegations will be kept confidential.
Abbreviations Used
Please upload a SEPARATE WORD FILE with the heading "Abbreviations Used," listing all abbreviations with an equal sign indicating their spelled out meaning. (For example: CT = Computed Tomography.) If there are no relevant abbreviations in your manuscript you must indicate that by putting in the Abbreviations Used heading followed by the word "None." This list is required upon submission.
The author must obtain permission to reproduce figures, tables, and text from previously published material, even if that is the author's own work. Written permission must be obtained from the original copyright holder (generally the publisher, the author or editor) of the journal or book concerned. An appropriate credit line should be included in the figure legend or table footnote, and full publication information should be included in the reference list. Written permission must be obtained from the author of any unpublished material cited from other laboratories and should accompany the manuscript.
Reprints may be ordered by following the special instructions that will accompany page proofs, and should be ordered at the time the corresponding author returns the corrected page proofs to the Publisher. Reprints ordered after an issue is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate.

1936 Ford Pickup Truck - Layden's ' 36 Henry
"Too Nice For Me Now"
Some folks say there are as many reasons for building a custom classic truck as there are truck owners. In fact, there are two reasons why people like Henry Layden build trucks like this extraordinary '36 Ford pickup. One is the satisfaction that comes from taking a tired old truck and building it up into a cool, one-of-a-kind ride. The other is the fun that comes from driving a truck unlike any other on the road, something that is uniquely your own.
Henry, who still drives a '46 Chevy "knock-around" truck, had been thinking about another old hauler-a "comfortable, updated, old truck that would be different." His wife Nancy was out horseback riding when she spotted the red and rough '36. When Henry looked at it he could see potential, and after some horse trading (figuratively speaking) with the owner, a deal was struck. "When we purchased the truck, we did not think about how really uncomfortable an original '36 Ford truck would be to drive and try to enjoy," he admitted.
When Henry was ready to turn the rough old pickup into a cool-and comfortable-custom truck, he contacted Lee Castleberry at Castleberry Customs in Suffolk, Virginia. Lee had gone to school with Henry's son Bobby; his father had opened the shop in 1957. Henry insists that his first idea conversations with Lee were along the lines of a drivetrain update. Of course, it ended up a full-blown, frame-off custom job. "When a man gets some age on him, he gets some little kid in him too," he explained.
Craig Batten, Lee's teenage nephew, tore the truck apart. The chassis was designed and built to allow 100 percent accessibility to the drivetrain from underneath-making future service and modifications as easy as possible. Upgrades started with a custom X-brace and triangulated suspension at the front and rear to strengthen the flimsy factory frame. The Mustang II frontend components from Southern Rods are suspended by coilovers with a single coil cut from each, plus a power steering rack from an '88 Thunderbird. The 3.70-geared 10-bolt locker rear is out of a '98 four-door Jimmy, sprung with leaf springs from Chassis Engineering. Monroe gas shocks and GM disc brakes were mounted at all corners.
Henry chose the right rolling stock in the form of 15x5 steelies from Wheel Vintiques, painted body color and accented with rings and '42 Ford dog dish centers. The radial wide whites are Diamond Back Classics-P235/70R15 and P185/70R15-plenty big to fill the fenders without looking out of proportion.
Of course, if a great ride and plenty of go-power was all Henry wanted, he could've spent his money at a local truck dealership instead of at a rod shop. And he would've fit in with the crowd on any highway or in any parking lot. But fitting in wasn't the plan, so he let Lee Castleberry, Joe Didio, Craig Batten, and Mike Warren go at the truck like lions on a crippled gazelle. The body was customized with '33 headlights on chopped stands and Model A taillights on '33 stands, and '33 door handles. Hood tops were replaced and the fold-out windshield was swapped for glue-in glass with electric wipers. Power windows replace the factory glass (with switches concealed in the hand cranks) and driprails were shaved to clean up the lines. The bed was boxed in the rear and treated to a wood floor and '37 tailgate. Mike Warren shot the Martin Senour Turquoise paint. Inside the cab, Rod Doors seats were covered in teal Ultra Leather and light oyster Ultrasuede with custom embroidery. A Juliano's banjo wheel turns a Flaming River tilt column. Joann Reynolds provided the custom shifter boot and Greg Rudy at Sundance Graphics added some custom brushwork. Dolphin gauges, Southern Auto Air A/C, and a Custom Autosound 10-disc CD changer with Fosgate speakers contribute to the now-comfortable cab.
Now that the '36 is finished, Henry jokes that "it's almost too nice for me now!" Not that that has stopped him from having fun driving it as often as he can.

Happy March!
Neta Jackson has a new novel, STAND BY ME. Here's the details:
Sometimes you learn the most from the person least like you.
Avis Douglass and her husband, Peter, have dreamed of selling his software business to finance a two-year mission effort to South Africa. But when the economy crashes, they're suddenly faced with the real possibility of bankruptcy.
When one of the co-pastors of SouledOut Community Church passes away suddenly, Avis and Peter are asked to step in and assist with the leadership of the church in the interim. But that creates an all-black leadership, fanning some subtle racial issues in their multi-cultural church. As tensions mount, they wrestle with returning to a traditional church where things would be easier.
Meanwhile, Kate Blanchard arrives in urban Chicago with three friends. Their vision of radically following Jesus-from dressing in second-hand clothing to trying to live green-only adds to the unrest at SouledOut Community Church. When Kate attaches herself to Avis as a mentor, her good heart but lack of wisdom drives Avis nuts.
Before long, though, they'll both realize that the body of Christ needs all parts-and Avis will see that she needs Kate's joy in following Jesus as much as Kate needs Avis's wisdom.

I blogged about the overall Innotribe Program at Sibos here. That post is kept up-to-date with the latest announcements and program changes. The Innotribe program is also available here on the Sibos website.
This blog post shares some more details about the Hyper-Economies session. The session Hyper-Economies will take place on Tuesday 30 Oct 2012 from 12:30 till 14:30 in the Innotribe Space (the special tent in the middle of the conference centre).
We live in a hyper-connected world. The speed of change is increasing exponentially. Information has become abundant, versus scarce in the past, and change is happening in real-time.
This session will focus on the major cultural tectonic shifts that are underpinning and driving the hyper-connected economy and are the under-stream of deep organizational changes. We are witnessing the birth of new economies based on hyper-connected organizations, exposure of core competence through APIs, horizontal sourcing versus vertical integration, Peer-To-Peer (P2P) sharing of data and Open Source developments, that lead to a new practice for value creation.
We have brought together an eclectic set of igniters (our name for "speakers") to have a healthy interactive debate on the challenges and opportunities these changes represent for our financial industry.
Mark Pesce
Mark Pesce is Founder of Future Street Consulting, based in Sydney. He is currently publishing a book on the topic, titled "The Next Billion Seconds". Mark was already with during the Innotribe Bangkok event in April of this year.
Every company should assess whether it is reducing frictions, or whether it is introducing frictions. This friction (less)-rule not only applies to organizations and functions but also to people and events.
But be aware, there are some "irreducible" frictions. Mark Pesce identifies 6 of them, all starting with a "T". Here is how Mark Pesce describes the 6 "Ts":
No matter how 'smooth' and frictionless hyper-connected commerce becomes, certain frictions in the business world will persist. These represent both speed humps and opportunities. The businesses of the 21st century will find leverage and differentiation by identifying and exploiting them.
- Time – If it were done when it were done, they're well done quickly;
- Territory – you can't be everywhere at once;
- Talent – some people are naturally better at it than others;
- Trust – is rarely immediately conferred, instead growing from a continuing relationship, and must exist for commerce to succeed;
- Tongue – language barriers persist until we all speak Globish.
- Tension – frictions in teams between humans
The topics that Mark addresses are very relevant to the evolution towards Banks-as-a-Platform and the Cambrian Explosion of Everything.
Michel Bauwens
Michel Bauwens is in my opinion the absolute "guru" for the P2P Economy, the thinking behind the Commons and the role of Open Source in software and other collaborative approaches.
He is the founder of the Peer-to-Peer Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel currently lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand, has taught at Payap University and Dhurakij Pandit University's International College. He is a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group.
The Hyper-Connected economy leads to new models of co-operation, and value production in highly connected P2P networks. Michel describes this as "Commons-Oriented Peer Production"

Allevo's presence at Sibos will be under the signs of Innovation and Open Source.
Their project FinTP gravitates around the bold idea of developing an open source application for financial transactions processing and a creative community around it.
FinTP is an open distributed application for processing financial transactions and it is based on the 7 years practice proven solution Allevo has successfully deployed at its customers.
Covering the entire life cycle of financial transactions, FinTP intends to create a widespread financial transactions processing platform, an alternative for an industry common solution. The hope is this will evolve into a new standardization layer – a single financial dialect comprehensible for any party involved from individuals, SMSs, to corporates and financial institutions.
We believe this represents in fact the acceptance of the commoditization of the payments processing arena.
The format from this session will be a facilitated conversation. Like in Bangkok, we will help the audience identifying friction points in their value chains, and assess how the concepts of the Hyper-Economies, P2P and Collaborative Economy, and Open Source can give rise to a rich eco-system of parties building added value on top of Open Source platforms in financial services.
The session Hyper-Economies will take place on Tuesday 30 Oct 2012 from 12:30 till 14:30 in the Innotribe Space (the special tent in the middle of the conference centre)
This session is a meta-story for the session "Future of Organizations", that follows right after this Hyper-Economies session.

ACC Team Previews: ClemsonPosted by mpatton on October 28th, 2011
Brad Brownell had by far the most success of any of the new ACC coaches last season. He certainly landed in a nice place, with two very talented senior leaders in Demontez Stitt and Jerai Grant. But in case you couldn't tell, the man can flat out coach. After losing first round pick Trevor Booker, Brownell led the Tigers to their first NCAA Tournament win since Rick Barnes last did so back in 1997. This year he has a lot less to work with, but don't think the Tigers won't be fighting for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The first key for Clemson will be Andre Young. Young did a very good job last year sharing the backcourt responsibilities with Stitt. This year he needs to transition from off-the-ball sharpshooter who also spends time running the offense to floor general and, in announcer-speak, the straw that stirs the drink. Just behind Stitt in assists rate and offensive rating, it's possible to argue he was the second most important player on the floor last season. Although it's important to keep in mind that Young's primary jobs were to allow Stitt to play off the ball some and keep opponents' perimeter defenses honest, this year he's going to need to really step into a bigger role, and it's tough to tell how ready he'll be.
After Young the Tigers desperately need a second option to step up. Milton Jennings, Tanner Smith and Devin Booker all have the talent and experience. The problem is none of them have lived up to their potential yet. Based on Smith's play during the conference season last year (where he shot 39% from downtown), I'm inclined to choose him as the best second option but I think Smith thrives more as a rock-solid role player. You can count on him to efficiently put up ten or 12 points a game, but I'm not convinced he'll exceed that with regularity. Booker showed flashes last year too, but mainly against less talented teams. It's high time Clemson fans stopped comparing him to his older brother: even during his sophomore season, Trevor Booker was a much more efficient scorer. He didn't settle for jumpers and shot well over fifty percent from inside the arc all four years. Unless Devin has put on some pounds and grit this summer, he won't become a second or third option on offense.

What Ever Happened to Those White House Solar Panels?
Last October, the Obama administration announced a plan to place "photovoltaic solar collectors and a solar hot water heater" atop the White House roof, where panels haven't been since that jerk Ronald Reagan ripped off the ones that Jimmy Carter installed. The goal was to have them installed by the beginning of this summer. They are nowhere to be seen. We demand our symbolic acknowledgement of alternative energy now!
The Energy Department tells McClatchy that "the project is mired in the 'competitive procurement process,'" which doesn't tell us anything, but maybe tells us that the White House is deeply sensitive to the image of buying alternative energy equipment from companies with which it has a close relationship. So it just gets mired in this goody-two-shoes "competitive procurement process" forever.
Other inquiries lead to bureaucratic inter-communications-departments chaos:
The National Park Service, which put solar panels on White House outbuildings during the administration of President George W. Bush, said it couldn't comment on why the previous installation was completed more quickly. It directed questions to the White House, where press spokesman Clark Stevens deferred to the Department of Energy, where spokeswoman Terry stuck to her original statement.
If Pat Robertson were here, he'd tell us that this is a symbol of God not wanting solar panels. Fortunately, Pat Robertson is elsewhere.

Oh you Greeks, you are all dumb!An Athonite
You all might want to consider the facts that the Eastern Orthodox and the Non-Chalcedonians really do not share the same faith and are not part of the same communion (and that is putting it mildly).Therefore the attempt to run a web site as if they were - as if there were such a thing as "generic orthodoxy" - is bound to encounter problems, perhaps even insurmountable problems.
Elisha:Thank you Linus for letting us all know the exact opinion all of EOxy has towards the OO.
Elisha: I definitely don't see this as heated as AN does, but agree with the negative vibe from the "debates" per se.
Elisha: On a theological level, I'm definitely more inclined to agree with your points as opposed to Peter's but I have yet to see a shred of charity in ANY of your postings on the matter.
Elisha: It's as if you're deliberately trying NOT to understand their view and see that it could possibly be in the correct patristic mindset. Again, I don't have some preconceived notion of you as a bigot or have any grudge. I've never met you and only know you from your online writings. You seem to come off as if you're an expert on Orthodox Theology and Canon law and I've yet to see you spout any credentials.Please make an effort.Peter,Going to get back to my questions? Thanks.

According to you, and you are entitled to your view which is one out of two different opinions held by Orthodox in good standing with their Church, but not by the majority of the bishops of these communions (no one ever claimed they were the same communion though)anastasios
AN, may I ask why the OO forum need be any different? Why it can't be a theological discussion and debate forum, like the Catholic-Orhodox forum? Why should this forum be any different? Just because a few OO individuals, who have themselves made outrages claims and have slandered others, are upset?
According to you, and you are entitled to your view which is one out of two different opinions held by Orthodox in good standing with their Church, but not by the majority of the bishops of these communions (no one ever claimed they were the same communion though).
I don't post in the Catholic-Orthodox folder so I don't know what its like over there. If you have an issue with that folder, that's your problem.
but don't try to get me to act like you.
I'll say something to the mods if I want to, when I want to, whether I have your approval or not.
Because there is much more to our Faith than whether or not we accept a certain synod.
The mods/admins have repeatedly stated their belief that this is a "general Orthodox" forum for both familes, who they believe are both Orthodox, and share the same Faith.
They have NEVER made that statement about the Roman Catholics.
I don't have a problem with debate or heated discussion. I don't mind discussing the major issues at hand, but obviously you do, no offense, but from your posts, I gather you prefer a peaceful and happy environment, where the real issues aren't discussed or debated.lol...how am I trying to get you to act like me?
Thats what I've said all along, but Stavro old me to keep my opinions to myself, but since he is a OO Christian and there is a double standard, you don't care about his outrages and insulting comments, esp those directed at Linus.
But see to the Chalcedonians Chalcedon is more than just a certain synod, it is and Ecumenical Council guided by the Holy Ghost
Well thats where problems start, many don't feel that the EO and OO Churches share the same faith. I also do wonder why this forum was named "Non-Chalcedonian" and not "Oriental Orthodox" if the admins are so set on this site being one for "both familes" of Orthodoxy.I know, I never said they did.
Does Ben care about those outrages, racist and insulting comments made by Linus ? No.
Why does a thread that discusses rules, and approaches to a better discussion, have to be hijacked by BEN, and Linus into the same old discussion ?
If you think we are not Orthodox, make an effort to show us what is Orthodoxy, because the repeated insults by Linus are not helping much in this cause.
Read over this thread again, I haven't hijacked it...
A good point, AntoniousN. I think the Oriental board should be named "For Oriental Orthodox Topics" - not "issues" which encourages challenge.Demetri
anastasios:According to you, and you are entitled to your view which is one out of two different opinions held by Orthodox in good standing with their Church, but not by the majority of the bishops of these communions (no one ever claimed they were the same communion though).
anastasios: Before you and Peter Farrington started at it, we didn't seem to have such problems. And in addition to that, the same issues do not seem to come up in the Orthodox-Catholic folder, where the two faiths are much more different.anastasios
Elisha: Exactly one of my two points! He's basically practicing Sola Scriptura toward them like Protestants but wrt the Fathers.
peterfarrington: I believe I have tried hard not to refer to any EO controversial figure even as a heretic, an I certainly haven't gone through some of Linus' posts which could be understood in a Nestorian sense quite easily.
Very good.Imply that I am a Nestorian while painting yourself as the persecuted emissary of peace.Your constant criticisms of the Council of Chalcedon began this conflict.Ending them through your own initiative is the least you can do.
Elisha: Linus,It is good (and expected!) to not compromise your faith - and no one is expecting you too. Noone here is directly advocating immediate communion with NCs or rushing to some sort of false ecumenism. All that is going on is trying to understand exactly what the issues are and understand what they (NCs) are saying from their POV
Elisha: You seem to be stubborn as hell and refusing to even try and understand. Instead of saying, "Hmmmm, I think I understand what you are saying about X, but I disagree that Y=Z." You are stating the issues empirically, as if you both understand the cultures and historical context to a 't' and are speaking as if you are the spokesperson of EOxy. You are not disagreeing/debating in charity, but being deliberately polemnical.
Elisha: Furthermore, if the EO and OO are two different faiths, then why are they so similar in rites and praxis historically speaking?
Elisha: Why has there actually been so much recent (past few years) positive dialogue between major Orthodox groups (e.g. SCOBA and SCOOCH locally and EO and other OO Churches abroad)? Why did that Vespers at the GOA cathedral in NY happen?
Elisha: The only theological issue, big as it it, is the Chalcedonian issue. As opposed to the many differences between the EO and RCC (post schism issues at least), the EO and OO are small in comparison.
Get over it. He never implied anything of the sort. You are the one who is always on the attack and always with haughty, negative tone. It amazes me how everyone but you realizes it.
You are the one who is always on the attack and always with haughty, negative tone. It amazes me how everyone but you realizes it.
Me too. I've said this before. Its NOT the content, its the tone. It must be nice to believe its the content, then you can believe you are being persecuted for standing up for Orthodoxy, but its not, its the arrogant, petulant, self-righteous tone.
I want to say something:Even though you might not agree with what Linus says -- and may object to his tone, if you read the history of Eastern Orthodoxy you will find that he is conducting himself as strongly and as passionately as the EO Fathers did in defense of what they considered a Heresy.I just find it interesting that people object to Linus' "tone" when he is simply passionate about what he (and his Orthodox Fathers) considered a Heresy.I don't think many EO would go back and condemn the Church Fathers for their passion, do you?
I understand what you are saying Tom, but how far can you take this logic? St. Nicholas the Wonderworker punched Arius in the chops if I'm not mistaken. Would you advocate me, or Linus, or whoever else, adopting that kind of behavior today?
You are likewise hardly a dispassionate observer.Speaking of content, attacking the "tone" of one's opponent is often a smokescreen for the absence of content in one's own arguments. When you run out of argument, attack the person of your opponent. At least Farrington occasionally attempts to argue the actual facts.
BTW, the only "tone" you guys would like would be the tone of submission and acquiescence. You won't hear that from me.
If it makes you feel better to think that is the case, be my guest. I "argued the facts" with you several times early on, but saw that it was a pointless endeavor. If you'll notice, I've hardly posted at all here recently, because I truly believe that interracting with you is generally bad for my soul. One simply tires of arguing with you, whether they have more points to make or not, because they get sick of your internet tough guy persona.My, aren't we tough? And dramatic too! :cheeky:
It must be bad for your soul.It's led you into mockery (see Isaiah 28:22).
I don't know anything about any "internet tough guy persona."
Face it: you just don't like what I have to say.

Mohamed Amiin Ali Roble, 20, who in 2007 survived a bridge collapse in Minneapolis that killed more than a dozen people, has been charged with conspiring to support ISIS, federal prosecutors said Wednesday, NBC News reported.
Roble is accused of traveling to Syria and joining the terror group after he turned 18. The FBI says he used a $91,000 settlement he received from the bridge collapse to fund the group. Authorities believe he lives in Syria.
Roble was just weeks shy of his 11th birthday in 2007 when the school bus he was riding in was caught on a Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis that collapsed.

Thirteen people were killed and 145 people were injured, including Roble.

As well as commissioning and publishing research, Ekklesia partners and supports other organisations and agencies working and reporting in overlapping fields.
In the areas of poverty and welfare, we have worked closely with the Spartacus disability coalition and co-published the Responsible Reform report (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/responsiblereformDLA). We are also currently co-sponsors of The Children's Society's free school meals initiative (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/16555).
The Children's Society, Action for Children and NSPCC came together recently to commission joint research that calculates the impact of the recession and austerity measures on vulnerable children for the first time. This is published as the attached report (*.PDF Adobe Acrobat), In the Eye of the Storm: Britain's forgotten children and families.
Ekklesia was not involved in the report's production, but we are pleased to be promoting and supporting its aims and findings.
The recession and the resulting austerity is the issue that most defines our times. Yet its impact on the most vulnerable children is too rarely considered – children who, by definition, cannot protect themselves. These children deserve consideration in their own right and a level of political discourse above and beyond the current focus on families and parenting.
It is for this reason that three leading children's charities, Action for Children, the Children's Society and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children commissioned Landman Economics to undertake new research to estimate the number of vulnerable children and families in Britain and the impact of the current economic context on them.
The research set out to:
* measure the number of families with children in Britain who are most vulnerable to adverse economic conditions, using a number of different definitions of 'vulnerability'; and
* estimate how these families will be affected over the next few years by the changes to tax and benefits, cuts to public services and the on-going effects of the post-2008 economic downturn.
The resulting evidence shows that the number of vulnerable families with children is often understated and on whatever definition that their number will grow substantially in coming years. It also shows that welcome measures put in place to mitigate the impact of the recession on vulnerable families with children are insufficient. These findings underline the urgent need to protect children from the impact of austerity and for particular consideration to be given to the needs of the most vulnerable children and families in our society.

stop (one) cold
stop (one) cold
To make one stop or come to a complete halt immediately or very suddenly. Hearing the gunshot in the distance stopped us both cold. Boy, Samantha could stop you cold with her smile!
stop cold
To immediately or suddenly stop or come to a complete halt. I don't know what happened. The engine was running fine a second ago but then just stopped cold! Both of us stopped cold when we heard the gunshot in the distance.
stop someone cold
to halt someone immediately. When you told us the bad news, it stopped me cold.
stop cold
Also, stop dead or in one's tracks or on a dime . Halt suddenly, come to a standstill, as in When a thread breaks, the machine just stops cold, or He was so surprised to see them in the audience that he stopped dead in the middle of his speech , or The deer saw the hunter and stopped in its tracks, or An excellent skateboarder, she could stop on a dime. The first term uses cold in the sense "suddenly and completely," a usage dating from the late 1800s. The first variant was first recorded in 1789 and probably was derived from the slightly older, and still current, come to a dead stop, with the same meaning. The second variant uses in one's tracks in the sense of "on the spot" or "where one is at the moment"; it was first recorded in 1824. The third variant alludes to the dime or ten-cent piece, the smallest-size coin.

Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is fining Ohio-based BCS Insurance Company $500,000 for issuing hundreds of thousands of policies using unapproved rates and policy language.
"A fair insurance market depends on companies playing by the rules," said Kreidler. "When an insurer files rates and policy language with us, that's what we expect them to use."
BCS Insurance has agreed to pay the fine. An additional $250,000 fine is suspended, provided the company commits no similar violations for two years. The company has also agreed to a two-year plan, including internal audits, to make sure the company is in compliance with Washington state law.
An investigation by Kreidler's office found that between 2007 and 2009, BCS issued over 500,000 travel insurance policies that were different from the policy language filed with the state. Rates for identical benefits were inconsistent, depending on who the customer was.

Bucs ranked No. 7 in South Region
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (August 30, 2011) – Following its, 3-0, defeat of Presbyterian over the weekend, the ETSU men's soccer team entered to NSCAA/Continental Tire regional rankings on Tuesday, being voted No. 7 in the South Region.
"I think this shows that coaches believe we have continued to improve as a program and respect the work the players have done to try and rise to a higher level of college soccer," said head coach Scott Calabrese.
The NSCAA ranks the top 25 teams nationally on a weekly basis, as well as the top 10 teams within eight different regions (Far West, Great Lakes, Middle Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, North Atlantic, South and South Atlantic).
The Bucs, a member of the South Region, entered the regional rankings for the first time in program history on September 28 of last season, coming in at No. 8. ETSU spent six of the next seven weeks in the regional rankings and, during the week of November 2, achieved its highest ever ranking of No. 6 after bringing nationally ranked No. 4 North Carolina to overtime.
"Being ranked can quickly change if you don't perform up to your potential," said Calabrese. "It's important that we continue to work as hard as we can in training to be prepared for the games that lie ahead."
Lying ahead for ETSU is the No. 3 team in the South Region, UNC Greensboro, on Wednesday, August 31, in Greensboro, N.C. at 7 p.m.The complete NSCAA/Continental Tire South Region rankings for this week are as follows: 1. North Carolina2. UCF3. Duke3. UNC Greensboro5. College of Charleston6. South Carolina7. ETSU8. Wake Forest9. Furman10. Elon

Once again, Poo Poo Broussard:
Conjures up the efforts of an obsessed friend who can't get enough of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and keeps dragging the proverbial horse to water. Now, I LIKE Grace. Don't love her, but like her. Rather than try to inadequately describe Grace and get admonished for a deficient presentation of Grace and all of her wiles, I refer you to the great, Gray Charles' "one time only" post — for the love of Grace.
It appears that he may have evolved into Grace Charles. Now, most of you know I'm just a wee bit jaded and cynical from slaving away on this earth for nearly 43 years, so you'll understand the context of my snarkiness concerning this:
Hyrid Cars are Sexy
Ahhhh, the idealism of youth. I really want to see that bio-deisel tour bus, especially since it'll cost her three times more to run and maintain it.
Well, if Grace does STICK TO SINGING, she may well be on her way. Regardless, Gray Charles has only steered me musically astray once, (**cough**Angela McCluskey**cough**). So for him…I ask you to give Grace her due. I've purchased a few tracks and she fits in nicely on my New Music Chicks playlist, along with Feist, Sara Barielles and Colbie Caillat.
So, please check out her stuff at Gray's and consider purchasing her songs via iTunes, if possible — so that we contribute to saving the environment by utilizing electronic media rather than non-biodegradable CDs and cases. If iTunes isn't your preference, buy from Fred…he's a good guy.

The role of Iran may be the most overlooked in the Dubai debt crisis.
Of all the states of the United Arab Emirates federation, Dubai has maintained the closest ties to Iran. Indeed, as international pressure has built on Iran over the past decade, Dubai has prospered from those ties. It provides critical banking and trade links for Iran, often serving as the go-between for European or Asian companies and financial firms that want to do business with Iran without violating international sanctions.
Abu Dhabi, the wealthiest member of the UAE and a close ally of the US, may be pressuring Dubai to limit its links to Iran. Indeed, this pressure may be behind statements coming from Abu Dhabi about offering "selective" support for Dubai. Companies or creditors thought to be too linked to Iran could find themselves shut out of any bailout.
The United States government, which has remained somewhat taciturn throughout this crisis, is no doubt encouraging Abu Dhabi to apply this pressure. In part because of Dubai's connections to Iran, US financial institutions are not among the biggest creditors to Dubai World.
It's not all Iran, of course. The problems in Dubai, the member of the United Arab Emirates that has found itself in a dire financial crisis, closely mirror those behind the global financial crisis.
Over the past decade, the country attempted to diversify its economy away from dependence on its declining oil reserves—and largely succeeded. But, like a Wall Street investment bank attempting to overcome the decline of its traditional businesses by becoming heavily invested in leveraged real estate products, Dubai accumulated huge debt obligations—estimated to amount to some $80 billion. Much of Dubai's assets were dependent on tourism, shipping, construction and real estate—which have been in trouble during the global economic downturn.
Like its fellow members of the UAE, Dubai is ruled by an expansive royal family. In this case, they are called Al Maktoum family. Exactly what counts as the personal property of ruling family and what is government owned in Dubai is more than a bit fuzzy. The Dubai government owns three companies: the Investment Corporation of Dubai; Dubai Holding, which is run by Mohammed Al Gergawi; and Dubai World, which is run by Sultan bin Sulayem.
Abu Dhabi has been trying to put pressure on Dubai to cut ties to Iran. The split between Abu Dhabi and Iran is in part rooted in an older territorial dispute, fear of Iran's nuclear ambitions, religious differences between Shiites and Sunnis, and—importantly—Abu Dhabi's close ties to Washington, DC.
The UAE is close to reaching a nuclear power cooperation deal with Washington, a move that many regional experts say would challenge the traditional Saudi hegemony in the Gulf. One sticking point in the negotiations with Washington has been concerns that Dubai could share US nuclear technology with Iran.
This power struggle between Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia is also playing a role. In May, the UAE May pulled out of a proposed Gulf monetary union over Saudi insistence that it would host the regional central bank.
Dubai, which is a very open and tolerant place compared to Iran, is viewed by many Iranians as a place to let their hair down. It has a thriving Iranian ex-pat community. Iran is Dubai airport's top destination, with more than 300 flights per week.
More importantly, Dubai is a major exporter to Iran and a major re-exporter of Iranian goods. The trade between Iran and Dubai is one of the principal sources of Tehran's confidence that it can survive US-led sanctions. Iranian investment in Dubai amounts to about US $14 billion each year. US intelligence officials have long suspected that the Iranian government uses Dubai based front companies to get around sanctions.
Some of the banks said to have the largest exposure to Dubai debt have in the past been linked to Iran. Notably, HSBC, BNP Paribas and Standard Chartered came under investigation and pressure from US authorities in recent years to cut ties to Iran. Some US officials have quietly protested that these banks just shifted to doing business with Iran through Dubai. The US may want to see these creditors take losses from their Dubai exposure.
Make no mistake: the US government does not want to see the financial ruin of Dubai. Apart from its ties to Iran, Dubai is widely viewed as a model Islamic country. It has a relatively clean government, and there is a remarkable level of religious tolerance and progressive attitudes toward women for the region. American diplomats have held up Dubai as their model for a new Baghdad—progressive, tolerant, and capitalist.
What is most likely happening is more nuanced. The US and Abu Dhabi are hoping to use Dubai's financial troubles as a way of finally severing the close ties to Iran. For years, Dubai has enjoyed the benefits of walking the line between its military and economic alliance with the US and economic benefits from banking and trade ties to Iran. The price of a bailout from Abu Dhabi may be having to finally choose to give up the Iran connection.

The Internet is bursting with 'summer activities for kids' lists, but I can't help but notice that the vast majority of them involve hours of parental supervision. Or they include suggestions like "Go to the zoo!" I mean, come on, when I'm fully immersed in summer with no end in sight and I've got deadlines and laundry piling up and a kid starts winding around my ankles like a cat whining Mommm I'm booooooored, I don't need an activity that requires me to pack up and get in the car and spend money. I need something my kids can go do by themselves. AWAY FROM MAH FACE.
Which is why I've put together this list of 50 non-lame summer activities that kids can do on their own. Print it, hand it to your kids, and tell them to skedaddle. Some may require a little prep or materials, but they're perfect for summer in that they're 1) fun, 2) easy, and 3) designed to get the kids outside so you can enjoy a little peace and quiet.
50 Fun Things to Do This Summer (No Parents Allowed):
1. Make a mini golf course with a ball and plastic cups dug into the ground.
