A recent study shows that health is among the top concerns of Filipinos, next to work-life balance and job security. Being healthy means being able to spend more time with family and enjoy activities with friends. It is a sad reality though that for most people, health management here in the Philippines is expensive. This leads to rampant self medication, non-compliance to treatment, and medical consultation only when symptoms of ailments are already unbearable.
In recent years, generic medicines which are priced cheaper than the leading brands have been presented as a solution to this concern. However, people are not yet comfortable in switching to generic drugs because of some bad reputation in the past related to questionable efficacy and poor quality. To overcome these challenges, Watsons exerted utmost effort to look for the right pharmaceutical partners and bring together quality generic medicines in the market. This is consistent with its mission of inspiring people to live beautifully and healthily and its aim to provide added value to its shoppers in managing their health.
The first step is educating the consumers about generic drugs. Can we really trust all generic products? Watsons narrowed down 3 simple criteria as a standard:
- Manufactured by a trusted pharmaceutical company
- FDA approved
- Sold by a reputable pharmacy retailer
Watsons, being Asia's No. 1 pharmacy brand* only carries generic medicines that satisfy the stated criteria above. Now, Watsons launches the Buy Generics and Save advocacy that will ensure consumers are educated to know the difference between trusted and questionable generics. Part of this campaign is making it easier for customers to look for the generic counterpart of their branded medications. Starting June, Watsons will bring together all its generic offers in a special, highly visible Buy Generics counter inside the pharmacy. The new health section will carry the Watsons Compliance Packs (for chronic and acute diseases), Watsons Health Packs (for common ailments like headache, stomach ace, allergy, etc) and a wide range of generic products only from trusted manufacturers like Unilab, Ritemed, Pharex and others. This will provide more options to customers on top of the branded products available.
Watsons Personal Care Stores (Phils.) Inc. is part of the Health and Beauty Store chain of A.S Watson, the largest health and beauty retailer in the world. For more information, visit their website, Watson Philippines.

President's Message
I was elected as president of ISSCO after the ISSCO VI International Conference at Beijing in 2007. With the help and support of former ISSCO president Teresita Ang-See who served as secretary/treasurer during my term and other board members, we were able to organize a regional conference at Auckland University (New Zealand) in 2009 and the ISSCO VII International Conference at the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in May, 2010. Owing to the support of our members, the ISSCO VII International Conference was very well attended and approximately 200 papers were presented.
After the ISSCO VII International Conference, I was asked to serve for another term (2010-2013) as president in order to provide continuity. I feel very honored. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the help and support rendered me by board members in the past and present. This can be seen from the post-conference activities and the planning of future conferences. We have had very proactive commitment by ISSCO members in planning the two regional conferences for 2011 (Hong Kong) and 2012 (Seoul), and the ISSCO VIII International Conference for 2013 (Canada). I am looking forward to the full participation of ISSCO members in these conferences.
Thank you. My warmest regards and best wishes to you all!

On her way to sweeping the competition at the Vancouver wrestling zone championship two weeks ago, Jilliane Vina took on a challenge from her coach.
She might have won the girls 54 kilogram round-robin in less time and allowed fewer points, but instead Vina committed each match to working a specific technique.
"She has some moves that she needs to make stronger," wrestling coach Frank Mensah said Feb. 15 at Gladstone secondary. That was before the 17-year-old Britannia wrestler hauled an opponent into the air over her shoulder and flipped her down on the mat.
"She's practicing her lifts," said Mensah, a former junior national team wrestler and coach with Burnaby's Howard Gairy International Wrestling Academy. In an earlier match, she worked on cross-ankle turns.
Vina won the regional title and this weekend at the B.C. Wrestling Championships in the Cowichan Valley is favoured to win gold.
Vina is already well known to fans of high school girls basketball. As a Grade 10 student, she played on the Britannia Bruins senior team and was named MVP of the 2011 Vancouver city championships. For three consecutive season, including this year, Britannia won the city crown and in 2012 won B.C. AA champions. Vina was named a tournament all-star.
Now it's her potential on the mat that is turning heads.
John Oliver wrestling coach Chris Fuoco described her as "ferocious."
Olympian Lyndsay Belisle, now the women's high performance coach with Wrestling B.C., said Vina is new on the scene but so far she's made a splash.
"A lot of people were like, who's the new girl? She's very strong and picks up the moves really quickly. I think she's going to be tough competition if she sticks with it," said Belisle.
Before the buzz built around her as a Vina as a wrestler, she briefly turned her back on the combat sport.
"I quit wrestling for a month," she said from home Monday afternoon. "I kept on losing against more experienced wrestlers and I didn't really like to lose."
She returned to the mat at the urging of her father and the encouragement of her coach Mensah. She also trains with Paul Hughes at Tupper, the high school that sponsors her entry.
The decision to stick with wrestling is paying off and Vina hopes it will service her long-term goal of studying medicine. She wants to be a pediatrician.
At least two universities are interested in recruiting her, and she's received a formal offer from one.
At Gladstone for the zone tournament, before she dropped her human cargo that she lifted mid-match, Vina almost looked the part of a television entertainer, teasing the audience with the promise of a body slam.
True to her focused, patient determination, her strategy that day was methodical practice. But true to the figure she cut that day, Vina is open to a career as an MMA fighter. It could help pay for university tuition, she said.
She supports the inclusion of women into the bloody, combat world of UFC, which aired its inaugural women's bout Feb. 23.
"I like how it's usually a rough, powerful fight for guys and now, it shows how things are changing," said Vina, whose first matches were against boys at meets in Washington and Oregon. "I'm excited for it. It's a good experience for martial artists who are women from other countries."
Mensah first spotted her at a kick boxing tournament, and Vina's experience in jiu jitsu and muay thai, helped her ease into wrestling.
"The transition was a lot easier because I have some experience with that competitive and aggressive environment," she said.
Her sights on a Provincial title and medical school, Vina has built a winning record in a brief time on the mat. Over the long term, she understands commitment. Meeting her goals, she said, "Is a lot of pressure and it's hard work."

The clip above is from the Kickstarter page for a mobile game called "The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed." The game, amazingly, is exactly what it sounds like. A smartphone/tablet adventure in which the player gets to be the Romney family's famous-for-getting-strapped-to-the-top-of-the-car pooch. Yes, really. In the game, your goal is to free Seamus from his crate and help him navigate obstacles as he rides atop the Romney's car.
I want to again stress that this is a real game that is really in the works. It is not a spoof of any sort.
And the newest amazing detail about this game is that the '80s band, Devo (yes, the guys in funny hats who sang "Whippet" "Whip It") have recorded a song to accompany the game called "Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Remember Seamus)." The Washington Post reports that the song is being released later this month to coincide with National Dog Day. The song release will also come just before the Republican National Convention starts.
You can hear a preview of a full version of Devo's Seamus song on Amazon, here by clicking play, below. It's amazingly ridiculous in the best way possible.
Again, this is all completely true information.

Lust: Pit Viper's The Jungle
By Sam Petri | October 3rd, 2012
On Sept. 20, 2012, legendary ski guide Theo Meiners, pictured above, died in a fall at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage, Alaska, during the International Snow Science Workshop. He was 59 years old. Theo was the owner and operator of Alaska Rendezvous Heli Ski Guides in Valdez, Alaska. Below is a story about a trip that ski photographer Flip McCririck took with JP Auclair and Kent Kreitler during its first season in operation. Photos by Flip McCririckIt was rugged at first — just a seemingly random roadhouse on the side of the Richardson Highway in Valdez, Alaska, with a helicopter parked out back. It was 2001, the first season Theo Meiners' Alaska Rendezvous Heli-Ski Guides operation was open for business. He had four guides, a handful of clients and an endless sea of mountains to explore. Rolling into the Rendezvous in a rented RV in late May was Kent Kreitler, JP Auclair, cinematographer Ben Mullen and then Freeze Magazine photo editor Flip McCririck. They were in search of the magical, mystical "Hatchetland" — a zone made famous in Standard Films' snowboard movies.It was the crew's last-ditch effort to finish their segments for Matchstick Productions' "Ski Movie 2: High Society" and for Poor Boys Productions' "Royalty." It was late in the season, conditions were questionable and budgets were blown. But they heard Theo could take them where they wanted to go.
"We were throwing all caution to the wind," Flip McCririck said. "We were trying to save their segments. There wasn't that much snow in Alaska that year and we were kind of bummed, to be honest. We weren't that stoked. But then we met up with Mr. Stoke himself, and everything changed."An extremely excited Theo Meiners welcomed the crew with open arms and a grand smile. Though he had limited resources on his recently purchased land, he set them up and they got down to work. In the big mountain arena, the making of movies is often at odds with risk management. Theo hammered the message of sticking to protocol, making a set of rules and using them, McCririck said. This, along with his stoked ease in the mountains created headspace for the team, critical for the making of compelling imagery. Theo's method and style of delivery is at the root of how most crews now work and play in big mountain terrain.
"We totally and completely crushed it. The images appeared in Freeze and the next year, the Kreitler shot appeared on the cover of Warren Miller's SnoWorld. It wouldn't have been possible with out Theo. Theo saved the day."McCririck's images were some of the first to come out of The Rendezvous and keyed skiers in on the fact that there was a new heli operation in Valdez. As the Rendezvous has evolved over the years, it has became less of a place for film crews and ski movies and more of a place where anyone who loves to ride powder can come and have the best day of their life. When Theo passed away, he was in the middle of expanding his lodge for the coming season to accommodate all the skiers and snowboarders who now come every season. Currently the Rendezvous crew, including his son Aidan and daughter Ali, are in Valdez helping finish the expansion and to ready the lodge for winter. "Sad times up here at 45 mile," Aidan Meiners said. "We are working hard moving forward with my dad's vision for the Rendezvous, gives us something to do while we grieve."Theo Meiners made it happen for so many and in his passing, it seems like the whole ski world is grieving. His unbridled passion and his stoke for a life in the mountains will stay with us forever. He is deeply missed.
Please enjoy these photos from the first season at the Rendezvous and be sure to make your way up there — it will be the best riding of your life.
The Alaska Rendezvous Heli-Ski Guides office.
Theo's house, also known as "The Billy Club" is perhaps the raddest ski pad on the planet. Inside are maps, guns, skis, and plenty of New Castle in the fridge.
When Theo first bought the property it was full of random stuff like wire wheels. Here, Tom Hodge uses his snowcat to help pull one out of the way. Early on, Theo used them as tables.

Can you find Kent Kreitler in this photo?
It could have just stayed the Wind River Mountain Lodge, but Theo brought the helis, and for that we are all thankful! Thanks Theo!

Show Listing
The Third Dimension
First Annual Juried Exhibition, September 28, 2012
The goal of "The Third Dimension" is aimed at showcasing original artwork using innovative 3D technologies that the average spectator is unlikely to experience. This exhibition is an opportunity to creatively stimulate the imagination of viewers with three-dimensional artwork in all mediums. The work submitted will coincide with the 3DCAMP Houston Symposium hosted by The University of Houston College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the School of Art.
"The Third Dimension" is open to all visual artists, age 18 years or older, who work in all areas of three dimensional art. Artwork can be created in any 3D medium, including all digital and film. Adherence to the theme, however broadly applied, is mandatory.
The exhibition will be selected in two stages: an initial review and tentative selection from all digital images submitted, and a later verification of those pieces from the actual artwork. The placement for the show will be determined by the juror and gallery curators. Work which does not match the digital image in content or quality may be eliminated during the second jury session, as will improperly framed work or work that cannot be safely exhibited. Digital images of selected works will be permanently retained. In submitting work for this exhibition, artists grant 3D CAMP and Houston Art and Culture limited license to use the images, if desired, for public relations or documentary purposes relevant to the exhibition.
All work must be submitted for the initial jury review on a CD in jpeg format and mailed to Betz Art Gallery at 1208 W. Gray, Houston, TX 77019, or e-mail small format jpeg images to firstname.lastname@example.com. A website that displays images of the artist's work may also be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, but be specific about which work is meant to be reviewed, indicating the page URL and the title of each work. Files should be no larger than 5MB. If it is not possible to send a file no larger than 5MB, please contact email@example.com
Gallery-wrap format canvas is acceptable and must be painted on sides in lieu of framing. All framed work must be wired and ready to hang. No saw tooth hangers. No glass: please use Plexiglas only. 3D work must be able to fit though a standard doorway and weight must not be heavier than two persons can carry. Artists may enter two works. Side views are encouraged of 3D work. Work will be viewed on a standard computer screen, and we encourage you to test your disc prior to submission. Label CDs with name, phone, media and title of each.
You will be notified by phone if your work is selected by the juror. Please deliver work to gallery during business hours on dates shown in prospectus.
September 3: Postmark Deadline for Submissions
September 10: Notification Begins
September 18-25: Delivery of Accepted Work (Tuesday through Saturday only, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.) at Betz Art Gallery, 1208 W. Gray, Houston, TX 77019
September 28: Show is hung by Betz Art Foundry Curator and Staff
September 28: Artist Reception, juror's remarks and awards presentation 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.

JURORS: The 3DCAMP 2012 Committee
All artists will have to opportunity to make their work available for sale. In the event of a sale, 70% will be dispersed to the artist and 3DCAMP and Houston Art and Culture will retain a 30% commission. All sold pieces will remain on display until the end of the exhibition period, at which time pickup and delivery to clients will be arranged by gallery staff.

Kentucky State Police are asking for help finding a missing local man who was last seen with the suspect in a double murder committed Monday in Danville.
Trooper Frank Thornberry said the mother of Clint Disken, 31, formerly of Harrodsburg, contacted Danville police after hearing about Thomas Wayne Hager Jr.'s arrest.
Hager, 39, of Danville, is charged with killing Mark Snyder, 21, of Waynesburg and Ted Sparks, 54, of Danville and attempting to kill Phillip White, age unavailable, of Lancaster on Monday at Sparks' residence at 477 High St.
Disken's mother, Patricia Devine, said she last saw her son March 3 when he and Hager came to her Harrodsburg home. They told her they were on their way to an Applebee's in Frankfort, but she has not heard from or seen her son since.
Clint Disken is 5 feet 11 inches tall, with blond hair and blue eyes. He usually wore his hair short, may have a goatee and often wore a baseball hat.

album that i'm gonna mention here because it doesn't fit into a rolling thread and it's not ~amazing~ enough to start a thread of its own for, but it's still really worth a listen - they keychain collection by gang colours. really organic-sounding, pastoral electronic sketches that really hit the spot when it comes to spring hangover time with the sun streaming through the window and your brain in repose

this is probably the least typical release they've put out tho, seems to be more of an homage to howarth or moroder scores than anything vaguely 'italo'. it's not particularly novel either tho, lots and lots of ppl are emulating '80s sdtks these days

i would just like to point out to all the people in the EOY thread who were whining about there being fewer tracks for individual albums/tracks and that the people in the rolling threads were keeping the good shit from you that i have started, and i have seen started, a lot more individual-artist threads this year, and 90% of them have completely died. which is fine, it's expected and that's why we HAVE rolling threads, but i hope to see no more whining this year

John Foxx and the Maths - The Shape Of ThingsCarter Tutti Void - Transverse
what are these like? i am def intrigued
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Sunday, 25 March 2012 08:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
Foxxy is a lot more bleak and grimy sounding than last year's album but it's got plenty of good songs on it and it's always a pleasure to hear Ben Edwards playing synthesizer.
Transverse is the real revelation though. There's a stream of it on our site if you want to listen to it. Although it might be in other places by now. The album is the straight recording of their forty minute, four song set at Mute's Short Circuit festival in London about a year ago. It's just an absolute pleasure from start to finish. It sounds like a really good TG live album, mixed with some great industrial techno and duelling guitars. Nik Void sounding like Daniel Ash/Paul Leary with a hangover and Cosey, well, like Cosey. Really puts a thunder in your chest.
Although I'm a total TG/FF/C&C Music Factory partisan.

Comments about National Geographic Lifetime Membership:
The year I turned 10 years old I got a certificate in the mail which congratulated me on my life time membership to Nationnal Geographic. It was quite a surprise and turned out it was a birthday present from my grandfather. At the time I was actualy disappointed, as a ten year old I was really hoping for action figures.
I have had my NG subscription now for 16 years. Looking back, it remains the best gift I have ever recieved. Every month its there to entertain and inform me. Each month it shows me something or takes me somewhere I could never expect to see or know. I love getting it.
I won't ever open up a gold framed cover without thinking of the man who had the wisdom and foresight to give to me the lifelong gift of this magazine he appreciated so much.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thanks for sharing your feedback, JT. Sorry about the action figures, but we're delighted to be part of this wonderful family memory.

For a few hours Terre Haute was the epicenter of the book world
By Bruce McKinney Beginning on August 9th and continuing through the 12th the Robert J. Brown Company of Indianapolis brought to conclusion the long considered sale of material owned by the Sisters of Providence and St. Mary of the Woods College. The sale raised more than $500,000 but final numbers have not yet been disclosed. The event took place on the campus they share in Terre Haute. Books were the featured item offered on the first day, followed by coins, furniture, painting, antiques, and a remarkable array of nun dolls over the next three. The decision to sell was not casually taken. Three years ago these two organizations began to evaluate what they owned, their condition and appropriate insurable value. What they learned was gratifying and cautionary. They had extensive important holdings that required professional conservation, in some cases restoration and in many cases, more formal controls going forward. This then lead to the decision more than a year ago to part with items not central to their social mission. To handle the dispersal they hired Robert J. Brown of Indianapolis who arranged and conducted the four day sale on campus. In the three months leading up to the sale the auctioneer took pains to learn how to describe material in sufficient detail as to be visible and understandable to bidders viewing the sale on the internet. This was important because much of the material was obscure and some of it valuable. From the outset the expectation was that, to provide the institutions a successful outcome, the auction house would need to reach beyond the local marketing venue, in this case the Terre Haute Tribune-Star. In May the firm contacted us for a tutorial on cataloguing books. They prepared a modest printed catalogue and an on-line presence and advertised in state, regional, antique and collector media. The result was cataloguing-light but the financial outcomes later proved to be quite strong. The cataloguing suggested potential bargains but ultimately the enthusiastic crowd ensured serious bidding. The structure of the bidding was unusual with every lot starting at $1,000 and the bid quickly falling until reality intervened. In this way some bidders opened the bidding a bit high and bought lots without attracting other bids. Another aspect of the bidding was uniquely Indiana. Bidding on sets was "per volume" so if a set was five volumes and you were bidding $100 you were going to pay $500. It was more like Alice's Restaurant than Alice in Wonderland. This form of bidding is not the norm in the book auction business. Let's hope it doesn't catch on. In any event, some people bidding got an education if not a bargain. The sale was also unusual for permitting browsers to "pick for bidding," subject to a $50 starting price, material from the more than 2,000 un-catalogued books and sets. Only about 160 books and sets were catalogued so close to 95% of all books offered were available for picking. Ultimately only a few items were sold in this way though and even some material set aside by prospective bidders did not sell when hoisted for sale. Someone either dozed off or woke up. The remaining material was sold by the shelf and in some cases by the pile. In an act of mercy the auctioneer did not sell them by the inch. These lots brought $15 to $325. If there were some gems among the debris nothing has surfaced yet. Bidders are no doubt still relishing their purchases.
One of many examples of painted books
The one hundred and sixty three lots described in the auction catalogue did quite well. Only two lots failed to sell while the other 161 brought $170,043.50 and an average of $1,056.17. This performance would rank them forty-first among the eighty-one auction houses we evaluated by average lot realization in 2006. Given this was a first catalogued effort and the venue far from the cities, this was an exceptional outcome and a reminder that auctions tend to do well wherever they are whenever they have interesting material. Said another way, good material at auction has a way of being found. In this case some participants were bidding from as far away as Germany. Jeff Weber of Los Angeles, perhaps the leading dealer in fore-edge painted books in the United States today, made the trip from Los Angeles for the auction prepared to buy most of the more than one hundred items offered in this category. He bought 17 against aggressive competition and watched a few items go to 5 and 10 times his opinion of their value. Back home, he was satisfied but chasten and wondering whether prices are going substantially higher or the world was a bit off its kilter for a few days in Indiana. The most successful book buyer was an unidentified Russian woman. She pushed most of the documented lots and won many of them. Local celebrity Hunter Von Leer, the Terre Haute native who played B. D. Calhoun on Dallas, was seen around the sale throughout the weekend. There are no reports if he was a buyer. Another dealer, Anonymous, made the trip to Indiana from a distant place and has provided a fascinating and entertaining ground level perspective. All in all it was a tough sale. Hot outside, hotter inside. As to what brought the big dough here's a list of the lot realizations, including commissions that brought at least $2,000. At the end of the article is a link to the complete results.

Redefining a Blog using Semantic Markup
Redefining a Blog using Semantic Markup
"You never start with a blanc page, do you?" I was asked at this morning's breakfast table. Well… my answer was: "Yes, we do!" and promptly that's what I started out to do today, continuing from yesterday's post HERE and following the next basic exercise in "How to learn HTML5 and CS3″: Redefining a Blog using Semantic Markup.
Redefining a Blog using Semantic Markup
"Redefining a Blog using Semantic Markup" is first of all about getting rid of the 'divitis' syndrome – meaning the usage of div tags – while exploring the elements that create a simple blog structure containing a typical header with a horizontal menu (navigation) underneath it. This is followed by the main section that contains the content in form of articles, that may each have their own header and footer as well as an aside (which may be a pullquote as in my example here). To this we add a sidebar with additional navigation. The page typically ends with a footer for the copyright note and possibly further information like Home, About and Privacy.
Starting out from a blanc white page on my PSpad, I simply followed instructions and tried to understand what I was doing, what was known and where the differences were – creating an index.html page and a style.css – and getting the desired result. Nothing special, nothing designed to look great yet – just an exercise where "Learn by Doing" is what counts.
Another interesting difference I observed: this is all that's needed at the top of the html page: <!DOCTYPE html> … talking of lean management!
I will certainly continue the journey…

Short profile:
A forward looking, strategically important area like Essex needs excellent public services to support its communities. Essex Probation is an essential part of the network of services that support the economic and social prominence of Essex. Working alongside our colleagues in other services, especially the Court Service, the Police and local authorities, we are building an organisation that will carry out the work of safeguarding our communities effectively and efficiently.
Detailed description:
We are not just concerned with stopping offending behaviour. We are dedicated to providing rehabilitation that assists offenders in turning their lives around and becoming contributing members of society. We know that the work of Probation is not well understood. We have put together this document to assist in explaining what we do, why we do it and how we service Essex Essex Probation Board is the local probation board established under the Criminal Justice and Courts Services Act 2000 to deliver probation services in Essex.
The Board consists of the Chair, the Chief Executive and a minimum of five other members. In order for the members of the Board to be representative of the local community, it is a requirement that, as far as possible, every board member should either live or work in Essex or have lived or worked in Essex previously. With the exception of the Chief Executive, all members of the Board are appointed for an initial term of three years and are then eligible for re-appointment.
No Board member other than the Chief Executive may hold office for more than two terms. Essex Probation Board usually meets about eight times a year. Board meetings are held in public although the Board may elect to meet in private to discuss confidential matters.

'Our personal stories indicate our experience of the transformative power of the biblical text.'
Gathering in Salt Rock, Durban, South Africa, 15-18 November 2010, members of the Steering Group of The Bible in the Life of the Church project were encouraged to hear about the work accomplished so far in regional groups and enjoyed making plans for the next phase.
During 2010, regional and user groups linked to this project have explored how we, as Anglicans, read the Bible, using the Fifth Mark of Mission of the Anglican Communion as our starting point. The Fifth Mark, which commits Anglicans 'to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth', was chosen as our initial case study because it relates to a major concern in our world today. It is also a topic for which, at least until recently, biblical resources have not been sufficiently explored.
The wealth of responses received by the Steering Group indicated the rich variety of ways Anglicans engage with the Bible, but also made clear the common experience of Anglicans that the Bible is a source of 'transformative power.' A reading group in Sudan noted how the Bible indicates that 'humans are meant to have a genuine relationship with animals.' In East Africa the regional group reflected how 'human beings cannot be saved anywhere apart from the world in which they live.' This same group acknowledged that there were insights to be gained from East African primal religions in relation to care for the environment, and it was helpful to be aware of different ways of respecting and cooperating with the stewardship of the natural world. In the United States and Canada some participants vocalised the challenge, 'How do we read scripture for and from within a common life that is meaningfully witnessing to the goodness of creation or God's love for all creatures?' The perspectives of readers in Cuba suggested that, 'We have to change our anthropological perspective of seeing ourselves as superior beings in God's creation… and become a responsible constituent element in the creative process.'
From Australia it was noted that ecological action is seen in the light of Christian belief about the 'new creation', though it was also acknowledged that Australian Anglicans can struggle to use the Bible in working with the Fifth Mark of Mission. The United Kingdom regional group commented that the relevance of the topic chosen – environmental concerns – had given energy to this process of exploring biblical interpretation in the life of Anglican Churches. In meetings of the Southern Africa regional group the different ways of translating the Hebrew verbs 'radah' and 'kabash' (often rendered as 'have dominion' and 'subdue') had provided a lively subject of discussion. Reading groups in South-East Asia, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea and Ireland have also begun to be involved with the project, although they were not yet at a point to provide a report.
As well as insights gained into this specific case study, a number of key threads had emerged about the process of biblical interpretation itself. The importance of taking 'context' seriously in our engagement with the Bible was widely appreciated. This contextual dimension is written into the Bible itself, as the Bible 'is a book full of memories that reflect the faith of a people, their walking in dialogue and relation with God, their interpretation of the events of their lives and history in the light of faith and spirituality'. It was noted that indigenous peoples have specific gifts to offer in 'acknowledging a necessary complexity that implies an interpretive humility'. The reality that for many Anglicans the primary place where they encountered scripture was in liturgy was acknowledged, and it was recognised that this liturgical and community context rightly played an important role in Anglican interpretation of the Bible. The ambiguous role of the Apocrypha in Anglican understanding of the canon of scripture was observed, as was also the difficulty of engaging young lay people in the process of biblical interpretation. The importance of reading the Bible 'through the eyes of others' was a challenge that Anglicans needed to explore.
As the Steering Group reflected on the varied reports they had received they also noted a number of 'gaps' that were apparent. These included: between what we say and what we do; between the particular and the whole within scripture; between insights from scripture and insights from other sources; between pedagogical methodologies; between different interpretive horizons; between our relationship to the rock from which we were hewn and our sense of being on a journey now; between different reading communities; between liturgy and study. In the case of some of these gaps it is the task of the Church to 'bridge' them, in the case of others it is the role of an individual reader.
The Steering Group also listened with interest to a presentation by its Chair, Archbishop David Moxon, in which he shared the experience of the process of 'Hui' through which the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia had, over a period of years, sought to have a respectful discussion about Christian ethics and human sexuality from a biblical perspective, in a context of deep prayer , drawing in all three tikanga, and the range of theological views expressed by Anglicans in this Province.
Seeking to take forward its remit in 2011 and 2012 the Steering Group proposed that as the next topic (case study) regional and user groups might focus on the Fourth Mark of Mission ('To seek to transform unjust structures of society'), and suggested a range of biblical texts to help groups explore this – one selection focusing on economic issues and the other on gender justice. In the course of their work groups would be encouraged to reflect on some of the interpretative insights that had emerged in the course of the earlier topic relating to creation/environment. To assist with this process we are preparing a list of principles and strategies that groups will be encouraged to take account of.
The Steering Group also began to consider various products which might emerge from its work, to allow the wider Anglican Communion to share in its fruits. Among these is a course for Lent 2012, which we will aim to have available from September 2011, and which will encourage Anglicans throughout the world to explore various dimensions of biblical engagement with the Fifth Mark of Mission. We also plan to publish during 2011 a short booklet setting out key and historic Anglican statements on scripture.
The Steering Group will meet again in May 2012.

Lots of other troopers have been with Hill and his parents since the accident happened.
"After talking to (parents) Paula and Ron (Hill) it's unbelievable how many of the law officers have been up there today and have offered their help and their prayers. (That) is very important at this particular time," Fisher said.
The highway was closed or partially closed for several hours after the crash.
Troopers said Combs will not be charged after the accident.
Steele spoke with WLWT News 5 in 2008 after his patrol cruiser was hit by a vehicle on a wet road.
"All my lights were on, I was highly visible. The roads were just bad and this gentleman happened to be driving too fast," Steele told WLWT about his accident.
