Celine Dion will launch a new three-year residence in Las Vegas in 2011, concert promoters AEG Live confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The singer will kick off a brand-new show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on March 15, 2011.
"I'm coming back home to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and I'm very excited about it," Celine said in a statement released to Access. "With the orchestra and the band we're going to be able to perform our songs like never before. The repertoire is going to be extraordinary…a mix of timeless Hollywood classics, along with all the favorites that my fans like to hear me sing. It's going to be a very beautiful show, and I think we'll be raising the bar higher than we've ever done before. There'll be some truly wonderful moments… I can't wait!"
Celine previously held a five-year residency at the venue before spending 2008 and 2009 on a worldwide tour, and then taking time off.
Tickets for the first 54 performances, which will span March 15, 2011, to August 14, 2011, will go on sale this Friday.
And the 2011 start date allows Celine the chance to try for motherhood once more.
The star has one child, son Rene-Charles, now 9. In December, she opened up to Access about her struggle to have a sibling for her son.
"We are trying to have a second child and we hope to be blessed again as parents," she said at the time. "We were [pregnant in August]. It was positive…[but] it was not staying. That is why we are trying again."

His books have been translated into thirty-three languages and have sold more than a million copies in the United States alone. Pink lives with his family in Washington, D.C.
"Pink makes a convincing case that organizations ignore intrinsic motivation at their peril." -Scientific American "Persuasive . . .Harnessing the power of intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic remuneration can be thoroughly satisfying and infinitely more rewarding." -Miami Herald "These lessons are worth repeating, and if more companies feel emboldened to follow Mr. Pink's advice, then so much the better." -Wall Street Journal "Pink is rapidly acquiring international guru status . . . He is an engaging writer, who challenges and provokes." -Financial Times "Pink's ideas deserve a wide hearing. Corporate boards, in fact, could do well by kicking out their pay consultants for an hour and reading Pink's conclusions instead." -Forbes "Pink's deft traversal of research at the intersection of psychology and economics make this a worthwhile read-no sticks necessary." -SEED "[Pink] continues his engaging exploration of how we work." -Inc.

Ex-priest 'attacked vulnerable Vic boys'
Former Catholic priest James Patrick Jennings knew when the schoolboys he abused would be alone and in which dormitory they slept.
Jennings, 81, indecently assaulted three boys while a priest at Bendigo's St Vincent's College in the 1960s.
One of his victims, who was abused over a number of years, said Jennings had deprived him of his adolescence and made him feel guilty his whole life.
"He left me feeling exploited, humiliated and with lost self-esteem," he said in a statement read to the Victorian County Court on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Susan Borg said Jennings learnt his victims' class timetables to find out when they'd be alone.
She said he also knew in which dorms they were sleeping.
Ms Borg said Jennings had exploited a power imbalance, and knew the boys would not come forward as they would not be believed.
"It's an attack on one of the most vulnerable categories of victims - children," she said.
Defence barrister Mark Hird said Jennings had been of exemplary behaviour since the offending, doing years of charity work and raising a family after leaving the priesthood.
He asked Judge Wendy Wilmoth to wholly suspend any prison sentence imposed on Jennings.
However, Ms Borg called for an immediate term of imprisonment, saying Jennings had shown no remorse for his offending.
Jennings, who lives in the Huon Valley in Tasmania, was in February found guilty of five counts of indecent assault against the three boys.
He was acquitted on a sixth charge of indecent assault.
Judge Wilmoth will sentence Jennings on Wednesday.

The late comedian Richard Jeni had two jokes I always wanted to see come together.
1. On going to war over religion: You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
2. The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in, 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire,' and the computer will say, 'Specify type of goat.'
Nowadays, the two jokes have hooked up, at the Kinky Sedar, the fourth annual one of which will be this Sunday. According to an excellent article in the Jewish Forward,
When about 100 Jews gather in Brooklyn on April 5 for a pre-Passover Seder, they will pay homage to their enslaved ancestors not with the traditional sinus-clearing horseradish, but by spanking each other with wands of chocolate licorice.
They will recount the story of Passover with a liberal dose of double entendre; they will break from the Haggadah reading to play a grown-up version of show-and-tell, in which guests showcase their "most-treasured kinky item" — be it a restraint, a whip or a pair of spiked heels; and they will sing a sex-positive version of "Dayenu," with lyrics like, "If she only dressed in leather/Bright and shiny patent leather/If she only dressed in leather/Dayenu."
There won't be any goats of course. That's prohibited by Jewish law—in fact, sex with animals seems to be one of only a few sexual practices prohibited by the Torah. (In his excellent book, Superstition, Robert Park notes that "If the universe was designed for life, it must be said that it is a shockingly inefficient design." Along the same lines, if the Bible was designed to offer guidance about sexual practices, it's a shockingly inefficient design.)
In any event, there won't be any sex at all at the sedar:
Kinky Seder guests, who are encouraged to dress in "fetish attire" — no jeans, no sneakers, please — are likely to be disappointed if they're expecting an orgy to break out at the Seder. While KinkyJews-sponsored events occasionally involve on-site sexual experimentation, the vast majority do not, members say.
And yet, somehow, the sedar manages to offend almost everyone. It's even condemned by what must be the leading exponent of Jewish sexuality, a rabbi whose own book, The Kosher Sutra, has surely offended many of his fellow chosen people.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the author of "The Kosher Sutra: Eight Sacred Secrets for Reigniting Desire and Restoring Passion for Life" (HarperOne), said the notion of a kink-themed Seder is disrespectful to both the sanctity of marital relations and to the Passover holiday.
"Can you imagine the outrage if a group of people decided to commemorate African-American slavery by having an orgy?" Boteach asked. "This wasn't a joke. Millions of God's children were sold on the block, and here you are trivializing evil with this vulgar celebration."
(By the way, rabbi, nice exaggeration on the "millions of God's children." There were all of 600,000 Jews in slavery in the first place, or at least, that's how many were in the Exodus. There were probably only a few million people in all of Egypt, and of course most of them were godless, in your view.)
Anyway, the important thing is that the good rabbi is all for sex. In an article last January in the Jerusalem Post, he wrote:
Judaism, alone among the religions of the world, deeply endorses the passionate sexual interaction between man and woman.
The "alone among religions" is probably an exaggeration as well, but it's more than atoned for by his wonderful double-entendre, the joy of which is dimmed only be the likelihood that it was unintentional.
Jewish, and in general, religious positions (pun intended, or at least retained intentionally—hey, they're hard to avoid when writing about sex), seem be all over the place.
In fact, religiously-justified assertions about sex seem to match the very definition of a continuum—for any two ideas about what's right and wrong, or allowed and forbidden, there's a third idea held by someone, that falls somewhere in between.
People seem to just make up what they think the rules are. Tthat seems to be true of religious law in general, but all the more so when it comes to sex. (I know people who are strictly kosher at home, with the four sets of plates and everything, but will eat anything in a restaurant. Similarly, consider evangelical Christian willingness to lie in bed with Dick Cheney, despite his support for his lesbian daughter, when lesbianism is one of the few sexual practices that the Bible might unequivocally condemn.)
We have a name for specify-type-of-goat people: libertine. And we have a name for people like Rabbi Boteach: hypocrite.

This set of objectives for South African fishing policy contains a very strange phrase.
(c) Co-manage oyster fishery with other spheres of government and the fishing industry in a manner that recognizes government priorities, strategic objectives of the spheres of government, the interests of fishing industry and most importantly in a manner that would please, praise and glorify that one who provided and gave man the power to rule over the fish (including oysters)
All the fish, including oysters? You mean molluscs are fish too? Those scale and fin-less ocean-dwellers that Leviticus 11:10-12 tells us are an abomination? South African molluscs will no doubt be relieved to hear that they've been upgraded – perhaps oysters from your part of the world will be equally blessed in the near future. And instead of managing the industry to do things like make a profit, feed people, or keep the "fish" population sustainable, it's all about pleasuring Jesus?
I'm not bothered by the inclusion of molluscs in "fish" here: folk taxonomies twist biological taxonomies all the time, and it's traditional to include anything in the sea, including whales, anemones, sea urchins, and squid, in the category "fish" (see also all the grains that get included in the generic term "corn").
But specifying that their policies are for the purpose of pleasing, praising, and glorifying a god? I would like to see the metrics they're using to determine whether their policies are meeting that goal. I think God told me that he really, really loves all molluscs, including oysters, and the only actions that would please him are a complete prohibition on killing and eating them. I've even got Biblical support on that one!
At least that simplifies South African fishing policy. Oh, yeah, also God told me that all violators are to be turned into chum and used to help replenish shark stocks.

The commission decided Sky's control over the rights contributes to a lack of effective competition in the overall pay-TV market and has floated three possible courses of action.
One is to restrict the number of major studios from which Sky may license first-subscription pay-TV window rights.
Another is to restrict the type of rights Sky can license, so that, for example, the distribution method of subscription video on-demand could be made available to other providers.
Also under consideration is compelling Sky to offer any movie channel containing first subscription pay-TV window content created by a rival, a measure dubbed "must retail".
It has opened a consultation on these possible remedies and has set a deadline of 9 September for parties to respond. The separate deadline for responses to its provisional findings is 16 September.
Laura Carstensen, chairman of the movies on pay-TV market investigation, said: "At the heart of the problem is Sky's strong position in the pay-TV market, with twice as many subscribers to pay-TV as all other traditional pay-TV retailers put together.
"This provides Sky with a great advantage when it comes to bidding for movie rights, which no rival bidder has yet been able to overcome – and, if things stay as they are, we see no likely prospect of change."
Sky hit back at the commission in a statement, saying it believes "no regulatory intervention is required and that consumers benefit from high levels of choice, value and innovation across a wide range of providers".
It continued: "We note that the CC's findings remain provisional and have been issued for consultation. We will continue to engage with the CC during the ongoing regulatory process."

From Beckham's FutureSox interview:
Why do you have Your Love by The Outfield play when you come to bat?
Great question. Your love by the Outfield is my favorite song. I like to have a song that lights me up inside. I like a song that gets me excited and ready, but keeps me relaxed at the same time. I chose that song when I was a freshman in college and used it for three years. That song has kind of attached itself to me and the University of Georgia. I get messages late at night from friends who hear it in the bar and call me just to tell me it's on. I've walked into places in Athens where they would see me and then play the song. And the girls enjoyed it too. They would actually finish the verse when it would cut off when I stepped into the box. Best of both worlds I guess.

Washington Redskins to Retire Controversial Name and Logo
The Washington Redskins will retire their controversial name and logo, the National Football League (NFL) team announced Monday.
By Alyssa Murdoch, Chrystal Mantyka-Pringle and Sapna Sharma
Summer has finally arrived in the northern reaches of Canada and Alaska, liberating hundreds of thousands of northern stream fish from their wintering habitats.
A Good News Story?
On the surface, the results from our study appear to provide a "good news" story. Warming temperatures were linked to higher numbers of fish, more species overall and, therefore, potentially more fishing opportunities for northerners.

Initially, we were surprised to learn that warming was increasing the distribution of cold-adapted fish. We reasoned that modest amounts of warming could lead to benefits such as increased food and winter habitat availability without reaching stressful levels for many species.

Yet, not all fish species fared equally well. Ecologically unique northern species — those that have evolved in colder, more nutrient-poor environments, such as Arctic grayling and Dolly Varden trout — were showing declines with warming.

Fish Strandings and Buried Eggs
Recent news headlines run the gamut for Pacific salmon — from their increased escapades into the Arctic to massive pre-spawning die-offs in central Alaska. Similarly, results from our study revealed different outcomes for fish depending on local climatic conditions, including Pacific salmon.

We found that warmer spring and fall temperatures may be helping juvenile salmon by providing a longer and more plentiful growing season, and by supporting early egg development in northern regions that were previously too cold for survival.

In contrast, salmon declined in regions that were experiencing wetter fall conditions, pointing to an increased risk of flooding and sedimentation that could bury or dislodge incubating eggs.

Interestingly, we found that certain climatic combinations, such as warmer summer water temperatures with decreased summer rainfall, were important in determining where Pacific salmon could survive. Summer warming in drier watersheds led to declines, suggesting that lowered streamflows may have increased the risk of fish becoming stranded in subpar habitats that were too warm and crowded.

The Fate of Northern Fisheries
The promise of a warmer and more accessible Arctic has attracted mounting interest in new economic opportunities, including fisheries. As warming rates at higher latitudes are already two to three times global levels, it seems probable that northern biodiversity will experience dramatic shifts in the coming decades.

Despite the many unknowns surrounding the future of Pacific salmon, many fisheries are currently thriving following warmer and more productive northern oceans, and some Arctic Indigenous communities are developing new salmon fisheries.

As warming continues, the commercial salmon fishing industry is poised to expand northwards, but its success will largely depend on extenuating factors such as changes to marine habitat and food sources and how many fish are caught during the freshwater stages of their journey.

Even with the potential for increased northern biodiversity, it is important to recognize that some northern communities may be unable to adapt or may lose individual species that are associated with important cultural values.

If you get a call from a number you don't recognize, don't hit decline — it might be a contact tracer calling to let you know that someone you've been near has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Interviews With Contact Tracers
Contact tracing is a public health strategy that involves identifying everyone who may have been in contact with a person who has the coronavirus. Contact tracers collect information and provide guidance to help contain the transmission of disease.

It's been used during outbreaks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Ebola, measles, and now the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

It starts when the local department of health gets a report of a confirmed case of the coronavirus in its community and gives that person a call. The contact tracer usually provides information on how to isolate and when to get treatment, then tries to figure out who else the person may have exposed.

"We ask who they've been in contact with in the 48 hours prior to symptom onset, or 2 days before the date of their positive test if they don't have symptoms," said Dr. Heidi Gullett, associate director of the Center for Community Health Integration at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and medical director of the Cuyahoga County Board of Health in Ohio.

"You've Been Exposed"
After the case interview, contact tracers will get to work calling the folks who may have been exposed to the coronavirus by the person who tested positive.

"We give them recommendations about quarantining or isolating, getting tested, and what to do if they become sick. If they're not already sick, we still want them to self-quarantine so that they don't spread the disease to anyone else if they were to become sick," said Labus.

Generally, the contact tracer won't ask for additional contacts unless they happen to call someone who is sick or has a confirmed case of the virus. They will help ensure the contact has the resources they need to isolate themselves, if necessary. The contact tracer may continue to stay in touch with that person over the next 14 days.

"We follow the percentage of people that were contacts, then converted into being actual cases of the virus. It's an important marker to help us understand what kind of transmission happens in our community and how to control the virus," said Gullett.

Why You Should Participate (and What Happens If You Don't)
A Lancet study from June 16, which looked at data from more than 40,000 people, found that COVID-19 transmission could be reduced by 64 percent through isolating those who have the coronavirus, quarantining their household, and contacting the people they may have exposed.

The combination strategy was significantly more effective than mass random testing or just isolating the sick person and members of their household.

However, contact tracing is only as effective as people's willingness to participate, and a small number of people who've contracted the coronavirus or were potentially exposed are reluctant to talk.

"Contact tracers have all been hung up on, cussed at, yelled at," said Gullet.

The hesitation to talk to contact tracers often stems from concerns over privacy — a serious issue in healthcare.

Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box, a Big Letdown
"The Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box might be the biggest holiday letdown since the year Santa Claus told me he doesn't exist (we were both drinking)."
My parents have been gone for a few Christmases now, and while I do thank them for the memories and the house, this holiday season reminded me to be bitter that I inherited neither their good looks nor the good graces of whichever great-aunt it was who always came through with the Hickory Farms gift package.
Truth be told, I'd forgotten all about my family's annual Christmas Eve sausage/cheese/cracker/mustard party until a recent trip to the mall reminded me that Hickory Farms exists, which reminded me to be pissed that no one sends me any of their goods for Christmas anymore. Thanks for nothing, long-forgotten and possibly deceased tertiary relation!
I didn't buy any Hickory Farms stuff when I saw it in the wild for the obvious reason that it would have entailed spending any extra 90 seconds in a mall in December, but I did make a mental note to come home and check my options online.
My first search, for "Distant Relative Who Would Like the Address at Which Billy's Grown Son Now Receives His Mail-Order Sausage," turned up nothing but porn, but the Hickory Farms website had a lot of options.
I went with the Warmest Wishes Gift Box, which contains 4 ounces each of Farmhouse Cheddar and Smoked Cheddar Blend, 7 ounces of Signature Beef Summer Sausage, 1.25 ounces of Sweet Hot Mustard, and 1.5 Ounces of Olive Oil and Rosemary Crackers.
That's not a lot of food for $25 plus shipping: a 4-ounce brick of cheese is about the size of a stick of butter; 1.5 ounces of crackers gets you about a handful and a half; and 1.25 ounces of mustard is enough for two well-yellowed sandwiches (if you have a utensil teeny enough to dig around inside the jar). I will concede, however, that 7 ounces of summer sausage forms a fair-sized log.
So this costs about twice as much as low-end brand-name replacements would at the grocery store. Is it twice as good? No. The Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box might be the biggest holiday letdown since the year Santa Claus told me he doesn't exist (we were both drinking).
I started with the Farmhouse Cheddar, which looked like Velveeta and tasted like Kraft's pimiento cheese spread minus the pimiento. It could be satisfactorily melted onto any number of trashy-fantastic nacho-related things, so it's not at all useless, but it doesn't make for much of a straight eatin' cheese. The brick shape is misleading; an honest manufacturer would have shipped this sliced, shredded, or aerosoled.
The Smoked Cheddar Blend is much worse. It has a distinctly awful chemical flavor that suggests it was smoked over a clandestine ink-cartridge bonfire. The Olive Oil and Rosemary Crackers were better in that they didn't taste dangerous or illegal, but otherwise they were halfway to stale and totally forgettable.
Next up was the Beef Summer Sausage, which turned out to be pretty good. It's not any better than the next beef summer sausage out there, but it's also not any worse, which makes it too sausagey to fail in my book. It's a bit softer than others of its kind and nicely fatty without being overtly greasy. The sweet flavor was cut by a good dose of black pepper, and the post-sampling leftovers showed very well in black bean soup.
The Sweet Hot Mustard was the biggest disappointment, because even though it wasn't as bad as the cheese, it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. It was suspiciously thick and way more sweet than hot, and it overpowered everything I slathered it on, even the strong sausage. Normally I'm all for mustard empowerment, but this stuff isn't good enough to be stealing the whole show.
The Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box packaging admonishes "Traditions Matter" in large type at the top. It's never a good sign when a company, food or otherwise, needs to remind you that you should buy this thing because you always buy this thing. Quality matters more than tradition, so Great-Aunt Whoever can stay in hiding for all I care. (Unless she's the one who used to send me National Geographic every year. I kinda miss that.)

Could you help to teach Refugees in Ghana?
Our latest teaching placement in the ever-popular Ghana involves teaching English in the Buduburam refugee camp near Accra.
As one of the most stable countries in Africa, Ghana has become a haven for refugees from war torn areas such as Liberia, Sierra Leone and now Côte d' Ivoire.
Buduburam is huge, the largest refugee camp in Ghana - covering over 140 acres and overcrowded with 40,000 refugees - 4 times its original intended capacity. With no electricity, running water or sewage treatment conditions are currently deteriorating.
However, education is one way to help improve the future of Buduburam's inhabitants and indeed structure their daily lives. With a handful of schools, 9000 children and only 200 teachers it is a huge challenge. Projects Abroad has teamed up with Buduburam to provide volunteer teachers to take some of the classes and assist in improving the prospects of the young children forced to live there.
With or without previous teaching experience you are welcome to offer your help. This is a challenging placement, but it will be very rewarding for those with dedication and determination. Volunteers with experience in occupational therapy and child psychology are also needed. Although the refugee children are now in relative safety of a camp, they still have to deal with the horrors of their recent past. One child has to attend school with another student whose father killed his father during the conflict in Liberia. The scars are still very real.
Let us know if you'd like to be placed here. Buduburam needs volunteers now!

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Friday, January 10, 2014) – Rapids midfielder Jamie Smith, a Scottish international whose club career included Celtic and Aberdeen in Scotland and ADO Den Haag in Holland before coming to Colorado in 2009, has announced his retirement from professional soccer. Smith, 33, will immediately join the Colorado Rapids Academy coaching staff, working primarily with the Rapids Under-18 Team.
"Jamie was one of the most skilled players ever to wear a Colorado Rapids shirt, and we would like to congratulate him on a fine career," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "Our fans have loved watching Jamie play, and we're thrilled that the Colorado soccer community will continue to benefit from his presence now that we've added him to our youth coaching staff."
Jamie Smith on new role
"While stepping away from the game as a player is difficult, I'm excited for this new challenge and the opportunity to remain with the Rapids and KSE," said Smith. "I have enjoyed my time in Colorado, and I want to thank all the fans for their support. Winning MLS Cup in 2010 was a highlight of my career, and now I hope I can help develop the next generation of players to win another cup."
"Jamie has worked with our youth players throughout his career here, he is a Colorado Rapids guy and knows what we want and how we want to get there," said Rapids Senior Director of Youth Development Brian Crookham. "He will be a tremendous addition to our staff."
A native of Alexandria, Scotland, Smith signed with the Rapids in mid-2009 before leading the club with eight assists in 22 matches in 2010, helping the Rapids win the MLS Cup. He played 20 regular season games in 2011 but suffered an ACL tear in the playoffs, which forced him to miss most of 2012, playing 10 matches at the end of the season and scoring twice. In 2013, Smith made six appearances (one start), scoring the Rapids' first goal of the season, a curling, left-footed effort against Philadelphia on March 10 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. In his MLS career, Smith played 62 games (39 starts), scoring seven goals and adding 13 assists.
Prior to coming to MLS, Smith played five years at Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League, scoring 21 goals in 105 appearances. He played one season with ADO Den Haag in Holland in 2004-05. A product of the Celtic youth system in Glasgow, Smith played for the Scottish powerhouse from 1997-2004, playing 72 matches and helping the club reach the UEFA Cup Final in 2003. In that same year, he made a pair of appearances for the Scottish National Team, playing against Ireland and Austria in international friendly matches.
Colorado holds the 11th overall selection in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, to take place on January 16 in Philadelphia, and the Rapids will open preseason in late January. The Rapids season starts on March 15 at New York Red Bulls, with the Home Opener at Dick's Sporting Goods Park against the Portland Timbers on March 22. For more information on the club, or to purchase season tickets, visit www.ColoradoRapids.com or call 303-825-GOAL.

I uploaded a couple more videos of Matt Kemp showcasing his Basketball skills.
Video 1 - I shot this one when not many people were inside the gym. It was a warm-up. Slam Dunk!
Video 2 - This is game footage. Kemp pushes his opponent away and easily scores.
Video 3 - Kemp was on fire. Within the first 3 minutes, he had 10 points. Check out this video where he grabs a rebound and scores.
I believe there is a couple more videos. Not while playing Basketball though. I'll try to upload them tomorrow. I do want to mention that Kemp was playing as if he was a little kid on the playground. It was really fun watching him do something that wasn't Baseball.

Damn, he's got a soft touch. He needs to be careful though. I would hate to see him getting hurt on the basketball court.

You know what, I thought the same thing. It does scare you that he can get hurt but then you realize that he's been playing Basketball all his life. I'm sure he knows his limits. You think when he starts making $ 15 million a year, his team will let him do this? I don't think so.

It hasn't been a great summer for football players from Florida.
A current linebacker for the Gators is the latest to find himself on the wrong side of the law.
His crime? Barking at a police dog.
While police were checking out a disturbance at an after-hours club, Antonio Morrison approached a police vehicle and made a 'woof-woof' sound at a canine in the back seat according to the Orlando Sentinel.
That was enough to put him behind bars. Morrison was arrested and charged with interfering with police by harassing a police animal and resisting arrest without violence. He was released from the custody of the Alachua County jail this morning.
At a minimum, Morrison will be suspended for two games according to Florida coach Will Muschamp.
"I'm extremely disappointed in Antonio Morrison's decision making. He has been suspended from the team and will miss at least two games to begin the season."
He was previously arrested June 16 for allegedly hitting a bouncer at a night club.

By Dan Wafford
Often, when people disagree with Christian principles, they trot out the phrase, "You can't legislate morality." This claim is typically used in an effort to short-circuit discussions regarding such issues as drug use, homosexuality, and others where there is generally not a long history or tradition of legislation. "Well, that's a personal choice: you can't legislate morality." Or "What I do in the privacy of my own home is nobody's business: you can't legislate morality."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Those who use this argument will readily acknowledge the validity of such laws as those prohibiting theft or murder. "Things like that are obviously wrong, because they harm someone else: that's the kind of laws we should stick to, and leave moral issues up to personal decision."
Such arguments are based on the principle that harming someone else physically or financially is inherently wrong. But that, too, is a moral judgment, based upon the principle that all people have equal rights.
There can be, and frequently have been, societies where laws were not based on such a system of values. One obvious example would be the South before the Civil War. Then and there, it was perfectly legal for a white man to buy or sell a black man, to steal his labor, to injure him physically, to rape his wife or his children, and generally even to murder him with impunity. If those acts were not illegal under the laws of the land, then what made them wrong, if not the moral principle that all people should be entitled to the same rights, regardless of the color of their skin or their station in life? Equality of races is a moral principle. Sanctity of life is a moral principle.
Until early in the twentieth century, American women were not allowed to vote. If that was perfectly legal at that time, then what made it wrong, if not the moral judgment that all people should be equally entitled to the right to vote, regardless of their gender? Equality of sexes is a moral principle.
When Muslims control a society, Islamic law enforces a tax, called jizya or jizyah, solely upon non-Muslims. If this is perfectly legal under the legislation of that Islamic society, what makes it wrong, if not the moral judgment that people should not be penalized for their choice of religion? Equality of those with differing religious beliefs is a moral principle.
Until early in the twentieth century, children in most industrialized nations were brutally exploited in factories, working twelve, fourteen, or even more hours per day under extremely unpleasant, unsanitary and unsafe conditions, and receiving only pennies for their services. If that was perfectly legal under the existing laws, then what made it wrong, if not the moral judgment that those who are smaller, weaker and poorer should not be abused and exploited? Preventing exploitation of the weak and poor is a moral principle.
I could name many more examples, but these are sufficient to prove the point. Again, nothing could be further from the truth: not only is it possible to legislate morality, it can very nearly be said that the only thing you can legislate is morality. What makes anything right or wrong, if that judgment is not based upon a system of values, a set of moral principles?
It is small wonder that many in our modern society fail to recognize this moral foundation of the legal system: it is basically ingrained in our perceptions through not just a lifetime, but many generations who have accepted it as a fundamentally inherent characteristic of life.
And rightly so: a society without a moral foundation is like a ship without a rudder: it will simply be tossed to and fro by the waves and pushed along whichever way the wind happens to blow. It is only by comparison to an unshakeable set of moral principles that we can ever truly know wrong from right.
The majority of moral principles that are generally accepted by modern American society come directly from the Bible. It is there that we learn the sanctity of life: Thou shalt not kill. It is there that we learn to respect the right of others to their own property: Thou shalt not steal.
But much of our modern society wants to embrace those moral principles in the Bible that they find convenient, while rejecting those that would limit their illicit desires. They are quite happy to claim as inherent rights the protection of their person, property and freedom. Yet they protest vigorously any instruction that they should honor the marriage covenant: Thou shalt not commit adultery; that they should deal honestly with their fellow man: Thou shalt not bear false witness; that they should honor the institution of family: Honor thy father and thy mother; and most of all, that they should honor the God Who created them: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Our society has essentially rejected God's sovereignty and authority. People today place no value on a moral principle simply because it was commanded by God. The only portions of His law they give any respect are those that protect their own interests.
The moral decay of our society is becoming more apparent with every passing day. It is not that decay has not been occurring in the past, but rather that it has been less visible. When ours was essentially a Christian society, the majority of people accepted all of God's moral law as necessary to a peaceful and ordered life. When people first began to abandon God, they felt a degree of constraint from those who still reverenced Him. For the most part, they hid their sins in shame.
But as the rebellious learned to enjoy their sins more and to fear the constraints of society less, they became bolder, openly flaunting their rebellion. They have learned to attack rather than hide. They have succeeded in shutting God out of our schools, yet they wonder why sexually transmitted diseases, drug addiction and mass murders have replaced reading, writing and arithmetic. They are succeeding at legitimizing homosexuality and destroying the family, yet they are amazed by the exploding divorce rate. They are succeeding at forcefully ripping away from our government any connection with or reverence to the God Who made their freedom possible, yet they wonder why our prisons are bursting at the seams.
They are succeeding at disseminating the lie that "you can't legislate morality," and in the process are destroying what few vestiges of morality remain in this once-great country.
Dan Wafford lives in beautiful coastal Georgia. He holds a BS in Civil Engineering from Oklahoma State University and an MBA from Stanford University. He writes Christian articles, essays, songs and books, as well as novels and popular music.

WEDCS Training (GAB-190 online program)
Wisconsin Election Data Collection System Training
This process was replaced in 2018 by Election Reconciliation in WisVote
The GAB-190 Post Election Statistics and Reporting Form is the way the Government Accountability Board (G.A.B.) gathers election data for each election. A GAB-190 must be filled out for each reporting unit in a municipality. A reporting unit is the ward or group of wards that represent how a municipality reports post election results to their county clerk. The GAB-190 must be filled out for all regularly scheduled elections and any special elections that have a state contest on the ballot.
All GAB-190s must be entered into on online program, the Wisconsin Election Data Collection (WEDCS) within the 30 days following each election. "Online" does not mean emailing a copy of the GAB-190 to the G.A.B. Like the SVRS, the WEDCS can only run on computers that have high-speed internet access. All municipalities that use the SVRS should have access to WEDCS and will enter their GAB-190(s) into the program. Reliers with high-speed internet can get access to WEDCS by reading the below training documents and contact the GAB Help Desk for access. Reliers who do not have access to the WEDCS need to mail or email a copy of their GAB-190 to their Provider for entry into the WEDCS. The G.A.B. will receive all GAB-190s through the WEDCS and does not need a paper copy mailed, emailed, or faxed to their office.
To get access to WEDCS:
Self Providers (users of the Statewide Voter Registration System):
1. Read through the following documents:
Link to GAB-190 Help Guide
Link to WEDCS Instructions (See 021 WEDCS 2013.pdf)
2. Access WEDCS through this website: https://wedc.gab.wi.gov.
Reliers (Those who do not use the Statewide Voter Registration System):
1. Read through the following documents.

Morningstar on Tuesday plans to launch in the United States its initial set of new global Analyst Ratings for funds and accompanying research as well as Global Fund Reports.
Don Phillips, managing director and president of fund research at Morningstar, told AdvisorOne on Monday that the Analyst Rating effort being launched by Morningstar in the U.S. is an effort to "harmonize" similar rating efforts that have been performed by Morningstar analysts for a couple years now in other areas of the world such as Australia and the United Kingdom.
While Morningstar has been producing independent, qualitative—or analyst-driven—written research on funds since the late 1980s, which lead Morningstar to create Analyst Picks and Pans in 1999, the new effort will assign ratings to all of the funds Morningstar "actively covers," Phillips says. The initial ratings to be released Tuesday will cover more than 300 funds, Phillips told AdvisorOne, but the Chicago-based fund research company will eventually ramp up to cover 1,500 rated U.S. funds representing 80% of industry assets.
The new Analyst Ratings will be available in Morningstar Direct, Morningstar Office, and the fund research company's U.S., European, and Asian investment research websites on Tuesday, while the new ratings will be incorporated into other platforms including Advisor Workstation and Principia later in the year.
Unlike Morningstar's star rating system, which assigns one to five stars based on a fund's past risk- and load-adjusted returns versus category peers, Phillips explains, the Analyst Rating is a "forward-looking, comprehensive look at a fund's competitive advantages."
The five-tiered Analyst Rating scale has three positive levels—Gold, Silver, and Bronze—in addition to Neutral and Negative ratings. Phillips says that Morningstar "reserves the top three tiers, expressed as medals, for funds our analyst team thinks have sustainable advantages that position them well versus peers and a relevant benchmark on a risk-adjusted basis over the long haul (of at least five years)."
Morningstar will focus on five key pillars in assigning the Analyst Rating: people, process, parent, price, and performance. Phillips says that 'the ultimate view on the individual pillars and how they come together is driven by the analyst's overall assessment" and overseen by an Analyst Ratings Committee, which is led by Russ Kinnel, Morningstar's director of fund research.
But Phillips stresses, these analyst "ratings are what we see as the strengths and weaknesses of the funds; we are not making a buy or sell recommendation."
For advisors, the ratings can "supplement their due diligence process," Phillips continues, and allow Morningstar "to put more information we have about a fund in front of advisors."
As part of the Analyst Rating initiative, Morningstar has also developed a new Global Fund Report—which is a comprehensive seven-page report on a given fund, featuring new data, graphics, and editorial commentary.

I have noticed an annoying issue on my '94 (4th gen) Honda prelude. The digital petrol and temperature gauges appear very faint when starting the car. After about 5 mins they brighten again, only to fade once more a few moments later. This repeats throughout driving.
I've checked the instrument light dimming switch, and its fine (on full).
Would anyone know what could be causing this?
We've had a bit of rain here lately, could that be affecting it?

An elderly Muslim cleric was convicted Monday of funneling thousands of dollars to support the Pakistani Taliban terror organization, which is blamed for suicide bombings and other attacks that have killed both Americans and Pakistanis.
The jury returned its verdict after the two-month trial of Hafiz Khan, the 77-year-old imam at a downtown Miami mosque. Khan was found guilty of all four charges: two conspiracy counts and two counts of providing material support to terrorists.
"Despite being an imam, or spiritual leader, Hafiz Khan was by no means a man of peace," said U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer, whose office prosecuted the case. "Instead, he acted with others to support terrorists to further acts of murder, kidnapping and maiming."
Each charge carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence. U.S. District Judge Robert Scola set sentencing for May 30.
Imam Takes Stand, Denies Taliban Terrorist Connection
Prosecutors built their case largely around hundreds of FBI recordings of conversations in which Khan expressed support for Taliban attacks and discussed sending about $50,000 to Pakistan. There were also recordings in which Khan appeared to back the overthrow of Pakistan's government in favor of strict Islamic law, praised the killing of American military personnel and lauded the failed 2010 attempt to detonate a bomb in New York's Times Square.
"He said these things. He admitted these things. He did all of these things," Assistant U.S. Attorney John Shipley said during closing arguments.
Khan, who testified over four combative days in his own defense, insisted the money he sent overseas was for family, charity and business reasons _ above all, his religious school, known as a madrassa, in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Khan also said he repeatedly lied about harboring extremist views to obtain $1 million from a man who turned out to be an FBI informant wearing a wire to record their talk.
"That is not supporting terrorism," said Khan attorney Khurrum Wahid in a closing argument. "That is an old guy running a scam, who got scammed."
Prosecutors, however, said the purported $1 million offer was never heard on any tapes and no other witnesses testified about its existence. The informant, identified in court papers as Mahmood Siddiqui, did not testify.
"That is an absurd story," Shipley said. "This whole defense is a lie."
No Bail for Muslim Cleric in Miami Terror Case
One of Khan's sons, Irfan, said after the verdict that his father was mentally unable to express himself clearly on the witness stand.
"I wish he didn't have dementia so he could explain himself better," said Irfan Khan, a Miami taxi driver. "You're asking him questions about five or six years ago. That really affects things."
Jurors declined to comment to reporters outside the courthouse. Their verdict was reached at the start of the fifth day of deliberations.
U.S. & World
"The problem is the statute is a conspiracy statute, so if one simply has the intent and the jury believed he had the intent to do something based on what they said, that is enough," Wahid said.
Wahid added: "Not one dollar did he designate to the Taliban."
Wahid said he will appeal, adding that it is difficult to defend against a very broad U.S. terrorism support law.
"It makes me very concerned about whether we still have a First Amendment in this country," Wahid said. "Can we say what we feel or do we now have to be concerned that our words can be criminalized?"
Miami Imam Trained Kids to Be Terrorists: FBI
The case began with six defendants indicted in May 2011 but ended with only Khan on trial. Two of Khan's sons, Izhar and Irfan, were cleared of all charges and three more defendants have remained free in Pakistan, which does not extradite its citizens to face U.S. criminal charges.
One of those in Pakistan, Ali Rehman, testified via video link that he was not a Taliban fighter as U.S. prosecutors claim. Rehman said he owned a women's cosmetics store that the Taliban disliked because products showed photos of women. He said he handled more than $30,000 in financial transactions for Khan, mainly to invest in a potato chip factory run by Khan's son-in-law.
After Rehman's testimony, Pakistani authorities shut down the video link from an Islamabad hotel, leaving Khan without the testimony of 10 witnesses on his behalf.

The University of Montana understands that success as an excellent institution of higher education requires a culture that encourages and supports diversity. The University also recognizes that, as citizens in the global community, we must foster a greater understanding of cultures and perspectives different from our own. As a living document the Diversity Plan provides ongoing guidance to The University as it continues to embrace and enhance diversity in the student population; among faculty, staff, and administrators; in educational and cultural programming; and in every activity on campus.
The University first established an institutional diversity plan focused on cultural and ethnic diversity in 1991. Under its guidance, the campus made significant strides in cultural and ethnic diversity. Nonetheless, an even broader understanding of the construct will result in more benefits to the campus. To that end, President George M. Dennison established a Task Force in 2009 to propose revisions to the Diversity Plan. The revised Plan contains a broader definition of diversity and outlines specific strategies to achieve specific diversity goals throughout the University. Finally, the Plan includes metrics to assess the University's progress in achieving the stated goals.
The Montana Creed – or Statement of Principles – articulates the commitment of The University of Montana to institutional integrity. The Creed encourages the campus community to reflect and commit to creating a culture of respect and integrity. The Montana Creed provides the foundation for the Strategic Directions of the University. The Diversity Plan implements the Montana Creed.
As members of The University of Montana community, we aspire to:
The Diversity Plan is consistent with the Board of Regents Minority Achievement Policy 1902, as well as Article X, Section 1 of the Montana Constitution of 1972 and Montana statutory law regarding Indian Education for All.
Nothing in this Diversity Plan infringes on academic freedom.
The following definition of diversity does not limit but provides a context for this Plan.
The University of Montana seeks to enhance diversity by recognizing and embracing the differences in age, ideas and perspectives, disabilities, creed, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, national origin, race, religious and spiritual beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, and the socioeconomic and geographic composition of its faculty, administrative professionals, staff, and students.
In its effort to enhance diversity, the University of Montana recognizes that particular focused effort must be placed on including members of groups who have historically been subject to discrimination and are still underrepresented in the campus community.

We have recently acquired a female Husky from a Dog Home and are trying our hardest to help her as much as we can. She's jumpy at most things and is starting to be more trusting of me and my partner. She follows us around and watches my partner all the time, and takes her queues from him.
When we were visiting her at the kennel she always seemed to be desperate to go to the toilet and would immediately do it once exiting the building. From this, my partner assumed she was house trained. The kennel weren't fore-coming with any information about her, as they were more busy going on about her being 'scared' and wanted her out. But we know that she doesn't have a problem of going outside as she did it at the kennel grounds.
After bringing her home, we walked her for a good hour to an hour and a half. She hadn't done anything, but we put it down to not eating much that day and having peed in the house when we had gotten back, which we assumed was because of being in a new place and marking.
It's been a couple of days now and it's gotten to the extreme where she'd done it in every room. This also includes pooing. We've spent most of the day cleaning the carpets with an odour remover, thinking that maybe she smells the previous dog we had. Today hasn't been so bad, as we have kept her outside all day.
We've been trying to get her out of doing it by bringing her back to her mess, sticking her nose in it and telling her off before putting her outside in the garden. We know this breed is not easy to train, but it just seems weird that she just wants to do her mess in the house and isn't interested in doing it when we are out on a walk. We give her plenty of time to smell things and even stand around and let her do what she wants to do, but still doesn't do anything.
It is getting to the point of frustration now, as we have recently moved into a new home and with the amount of mess she is making, my partner is coming to the decision to take her back to the kennel. It is either we work out a way to cut it down or can stop it completely. We have even cut down the amount of water she has and only give her something to eat in the morning, so she doesn't do anything at night, and that she shouldn't be peeing during the night.
We don't want to see her go back, as we both love her so and know that she could be a really good dog. If we can get this sorted, everything else would just fall into place.

Research opportunities available this summer for undergraduate students interested in archaeology, geography and history
Application deadline is April 15thUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Chair & Professor
Undergraduate students interested in archaeology, geography and history are encouraged to apply for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site Program to be held this summer from June 5-August 11, 2006. The program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), which awarded $296,000 to Dr. Michael W. Graves, chair and professor of the Department of Anthropology, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, to support the three-year project.
The program begins with a 10-week intensive classroom, laboratory, and field work experience that will focus on the archaeology and history of the Kohala District on Hawaiʻi Island. Students will spend two weeks beginning in early June in Honolulu at the UH Mānoa campus, then move to Kohala for six weeks of archaeological field training, and then return to UH Mānoa for the final two weeks.
Among the activities in which students will engage in will be instruction in Geographic Information Systems databases, the use of Global Positioning System units in archaeological survey and mapping, the use and assessment of primary historical documents pertaining to Hawaiʻi, and the development and implementation of a realistic research project that will culminate in a paper and presentation.
NSF funds will be used to subsidize most of the costs of the program for students. Graves anticipates funding 10 students and encourages applications from under-represented groups in science.
Potential applicants must be both US citizens and currently undergraduates at an American university. Applications are due April 15, 2006.
