Ontario is listening to expert medical advice and proposing to curb unnecessary Vitamin D testing for otherwise healthy people.
In June, Ontario's Health Technology Advisory Committee concluded that the routine use of Vitamin D testing for the general population could not be justified based on current evidence. This builds on other recent medical expert evidence that recommended changes to sleep studies, bone mineral density and pre-operative testing for cataract surgery.
Since 2004, Vitamin D testing has grown by 2,500 per cent - jumping from 29,000 tests to over 700,000 in 2009. Moving toward evidence based testing supports Ontario's Excellent Care for All agenda to ensure health care investments are getting results and improving patient care. The proposed change to Vitamin D testing would result in resources being redirected to other laboratory services.
The province would continue to cover Vitamin D testing for patients where medical evidence indicates there is a need. Ontario would continue to fund tests for patients with medical conditions such as Osteoporosis, Rickets, Osteopenia, Malabsorption Syndromes and Renal Disease. Ontarians who are on medications that affect Vitamin D metabolism would also still be covered.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed change to Vitamin D testing which will be posted on Ontario's regulatory registry until September 26.
In June, Ontario passed the Excellent Care for All Act, which lays the foundation for these improvements and is part of the Open Ontario Plan to improve the quality and value of health care.
*This year it is expected that the government will be billed up to $66 million on Vitamin D tests compared to $1.7 million in 2004.
*If current trends continue, billings could reach up to $155 million by 2011/12.
*Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Labrador and Saskatchewan have all moved to limit unnecessary Vitamin D testing.
this is where health care is heading, canada.
ontarians with ms, if multiple sclerosis is not on the list of exceptions, it is time to send the ontario govt our input.

Academic Focus:
19th Century United States history, Civil War and Reconstruction, Southern history, Public history, Cultural history
I am currently working on The War for the Common Soldier, which will be part of the University of North Carolina Press's Littlefield History of the Civil War series. How did ordinary men resist a military regime – backed by a powerful centralized government – that demanded unwavering obedience? The complex, contradictory, and fluid nature of soldier loyalty requires us to examine how ordinary men understood the war through emotion, thought, and action. With a focus on these cognitive processes, I examine how emotions figured into resistance to military authority, expanding upon what soldiers thought by exploring how they thought. I am also tackling issues of gender and race in a concurrent project entitled I Am a Man: African American Freedom Struggles in the Nineteenth-Century South. This book confronts long-held assumptions about the experience of slaves who were forced into the ranks of the Confederate armies. The notion that African Americans and whites served together out of mutual fidelity, not coercion, resonates with large segments of the American public who desire a sanitized Civil War. My narrative centers on the relationship between black men and their owners, its radical reconfiguration during the Civil War, and the creation of new identities of manliness and race after Appomattox. This interdisciplinary study will be the first scholarly treatment to frame the experience of the Confederate slave within the broader struggle for black freedom during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
In an effort to make my scholarship accessible, I have conducted public presentations, teacher workshops, as well as exhibit consultations, and serve as an OAH Distinguished Lecturer. Since serving as Gettysburg National Military Park's first Scholar-in-Residence in 1999, I have developed a lasting relationship with the National Park Service. In addition to overseeing multiple interpretive workshops for National Park Service staff, I directed a three-day seminar in March 2010 at Gettysburg NMP to discuss new interpretive approaches to the Civil War sesquicentennial. These connections have proved invaluable to my students, many of whom have worked as seasonal historians at National Park Service sites along the east coast. My students have developed podcast walking tours, heritage tourism events, and flat panel exhibits, and their involvement in the field continues to energize my own work.

Cebit 2008 Coverage
CeBit Coverage
What a great day to go to the CeBit! Sunny weather, no rain, no wind, so much better than the snow we were supposed to be getting! Before we get going with the different things on display, I have to say that there was a lot of advertisement and hype about it here in Hannover over the last two or three weeks. The main tram stating, the Kröpcke, is plastered with G.Skill advertisements, there's ads for all kinds of things pretty much anywhere you go in Hannover! But lets get going with what's happening on the technology side of things, as there's a lot to be seen!
Artic Cooling
One of the first booths I stopped at was Arctic Cooling, as they had some new coolers on display. Everyone knows the Freezer 7 Pro to be a cost efficient cooling solution for the LGA775 socket, however it's a tower cooler, so it might not fit every case. Arctic Cooling now offers the Freezer 7 Low-Profile cooler, to fit even the smallest mATX cases.
Continuing with coolers, Arctic Cooling has teamed up with Inno3D to produce an 8800GT with an Accelero X1 (yes, you read correctly, the normal Accelero X1 fits the 8800GT!) for better cooling, but also to keep the card quiet. They are not only cooperating with Inno3D, but also with Elitegroup (ECS), who have equipped their 8800GT with the new Accelero L1 Low-Profile cooler and their 9600GT with the Accelero S2 as a passive, silent cooling solution.
But there is more from Arctic Cooling! In their Silentium series of cases, they were offering their own power supplies, which will now become available without the cases. They had a 550W version on display, the Fusion550, which was very compact but had the fan mounted outside of the metal casing, making it very individual in its appearance.
I spoke to the Sales Director of them, who told me they were planning more. A lower wattage model is being worked on, probably around 350W, but also a higher wattage model in the 600-700W range, targeting the enthusiast crowd. Arctic Cooling is known for quiet products, but the Sales Director went as far as to say that these Fusion series power supplies would be the closest to silent that you can buy. I certainly hope they keep this promise!
Continuing with cooling products, I stopped at Coolermaster. With many of the recent top CPU coolers being tower style coolers, I was not very surprised to see Coolermaster launch some a new tower cooler. What I didn't expect though, was the sheer size of this thing! The Hyper Z600 is plain huge, probably the size of a Thermalright SI-120, although at least double the height! They had an aluminium and a copper version on display, which reminded me a little bit of the XP-90 and XP-90C.
Coolermaster is also making a move in the watercooling sector. They had the Glacier 600 and the Glacier 9200 on display, the 600 being for ATI 2900XT/Pro cards, the 9200 for NVIDIA G92 based cards. These blocks were both full-coverage, but also single slot solutions, which is interesting in cramped cases or tight SLI/CF setups.
The Coolermaster Stacker has a legendary status amongst enthusiasts, for the size, but also for the looks of it. The Cosmos is beginning to continue this history of great cases. Coolermaster added some eye candy to their booth, showing off three different Stackers and 6 Cosmos cases, all modded or painted differently!

Fledermaus – De La Bat Ridge ***** Grade E2
C Inglis, B Quail and P White 1958
An Africa Ledge Route in the country. A fun day.
4km from the Hotel turnoff, where the Kloof opens out and there is a view of De Wet's farm below the Molenaarsberg, park at a layby at the bottom of De La Bat ravine. Slog ¾ hr up the left side of the ravine heading for some grey slabs at the foot of a rib on the right of a red and grey amphitheatre. Halfway up the rib is a prominent nose shaped overhang. The first slab (with a rocket shaped chimney on the left) can be bypassed by scrambling up ledges on the left. Don't. Traverse onto the front of the buttress below the "rocket" chimney.
- P1: 40m "D". Climb up the slab, ending in a short crack, to a ledge below an overhanging cleft by a bottomless recess.
- P2: 15m 9. The recess has some hollow sounding flakes init, which you stand on to exit to the right to an easy face and up to a big ledge.
- P3: 40m "C". Move diagonally up the easy slab to a grassy corner. Scramble to a narrow ledge under an orange overhang (the big nose visible from the road is further up on the right). Traverse left onto the front of the rib to a belay.
- P4: 45m "D+". Pull through a little brown undercut face. Climb in the corner until you are forced out right onto the face (where it is possible to make a 2-man stance). Above looks a bit grotty, but is OK. On the final section, step into a groove in the corner, which is climbed to the ledge.
- P5: 40m "B". Scramble up diagonally right over easy boulders until under a funnel shaped, ramp-like slab with a thin slanting crack in it. Above is a tall grey blocky corner.
- P6: 35m 10. Climb the slab and some blocks to get into the corner. Ascend the jam-crack to a stance below or on top of a chockstone.
- P7: 20m "C". Move up a clean rib on the right edge of a face to a long narrow ledge under overhangs. The key pitch breaks through 6/7m left.
- P8: 30m 10. Pull through the chest high overhang onto a sloping ramp. Climb up using the groove on the right until lichen covered rock closes in. Step out right and traverse to a 3-man platform on a rib. Pull up the recess for 5m to a better stance.
- P9: 80m "B". Although it is possible to do a pitch up the steep grey wall ahead, or even in the crack around the corner to the right, the more usual way is a scramble up the bushy face to the right, then head back diagonally left across a grassy ledge and up a lichen covered face. Walk left on the ledge now reached, past a block, to the corner.
- P10: 20m 12. From a flat block under the undercut corner do a long step up and left around the edge. An awkward pull up is followed by a crack in the face, which runs out of grips at one point, and continue on a face to a platform.
- P11: 8m "C". Step up into the chimney recess and exit right onto the walk off ledge.
Although it is possible to climb pitches in the rock band above, the usual practice now is to descend by traversing left along a grass ledge and over the top of the ridge. Angle down past a low cave, then cut back towards the ridge and descend some gullies in a rock band (beaconed), then either follow a white watercourse to the road or keep on the ridge by angling back on sloping ledges until low down enough to cross over the ridge. At this point it becomes clear that the ridge has split and you have to cross a big slope heading for the line of pylons to get back to the bottom of De La Bat Ravine. (1¼ hours).

Generations of visitors often remember their first time going to Edaville USA, and Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are sure to make it all that more memorable for future generations visiting his first permanent home in North America.
CARVER – Generations of visitors often remember their first time going to Edaville USA, and Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are sure to make it all that more memorable for future generations visiting his first permanent home in North America.
The first Thomas Land outside of the United Kingston and Japan is on track for an opening in the summer of 2015 at the family fun amusement park in Carver. It will serve to further put southeastern Massachusetts on the map as a tourist destination.
Passion, persistence and vision were among the attributes used to describe Edaville USA owner Jon Delli Priscoli during Tuesday's ceremonial groundbreaking for Thomas Land. He agrees that those qualities played a role in bringing Thomas Land to Carver.
"I thinks it's very accurate," he said. "I think all those ingredients are a requirement of a successful enterprise such as this. People can have resources, people can have passion, people can have ideas, but if you don't have it all and bring it and channel it, it's never going to happen. You need all those components to melt together and move forward, and that's what's happened here."
By partnering with HiT Entertainment, a preschool entertainment company also known for its Angelina Ballerina, Barnie, and Bob the Builder brands, to bring Thomas to life in North America, Priscoli said is a major part of his vision for Edaville. Instead of Day Out with Thomas events on a periodic basis, Thomas will be home, he said. Teamwork helped fulfill that vision, he said.
Sid Mathur, vice president of Mattel-owned HiT Entertainment, said Mattel's goal of growing Thomas & Friends as a global brand by bringing the fictional Island of Sodor and home to Thomas the Tank Engine to the Americas is being realized in Carver.
"It's the perfect location," he said. "This is Sodor. This is designed around nature, it is about trains, and it's about the community, which is what Thomas is all about."
Mathur said when Mattel acquired HIT, a division of Fisher-Price, the Mattel subsidiary that owns the Thomas brand, about two and a half years ago, the company recognized the powerful growth potential of a brand that generates about $1 billion in sales.
The Thomas Land in Carver will be bigger than the Thomas Lands in operation in the UK and Japan. It will be constructed on 11 acres of the park and will feature 14 rides including a 20-minute ride on a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine and a Harold the Helicopter ride.
Mather said HITs's director of live events, Julie Freeland, formerly director of Day Out With Thomas events at Edaville, has been working with Priscoli on the Thomas brand for seven years, and with Mattel on board an idea has come to fruition.
Sen. Marc Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton, used the words passion and persistence to describe Edaville's owner. Pacheco was going to be out of town but changed his plans to attend the groundbreaking, he said, because he's so excited about the possibilities for bringing tourists to the area and creating new jobs.
Pacheco remembers visiting Edaville with his parents as a little boy and excitement of it, especially at Christmastime.
"Those wonderful memories that are created here will continue to be created for generations into the future so I want to thank you," he said.
Rep. Susan Williams Gifford, R-Wareham, like Mathur before her, used the word vision to describe Priscoli. Thomas Land will transform Edaville, she said, to add extra excitement to the park. She said the economic impact on Carver and the entire southeastern region and beyond can be overstated.
Plymouth County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Paul Cripps said he remembers how much fun he had at Edaville as a boy because it was such an adventure. Visiting the park recently with his 2 1/2-year-old grandson, who was shaking with excitement as he got out of the car parked in a full lot, he said he was reminded of the joy it brings.
From a tourism perspective, he said, it's really quite a thing to have Thomas Land coming to Carver, and he doesn't foresee any great difficulty promoting Thomas Land as a destination that will bring people pure joy.
"I know the economic development is an important piece, the jobs are an important piece, but if we walk away with anything, the memories that are made here for those little people who grow up and eventually run our towns and our state and influence the world, the positive feelings they get from here, is something that will set a course for them as it has probably for many of us," he said.
Carver Town Administrator Michael Milanoski said Thomas Land and continued expansion at Edaville will bring desperately needed jobs to the region and have a positive economic impact on families.
"When you really look at the project in the long term, wholesome family values is what Thomas the Tank Engine is all about," he said. "Right here in Carver, we're all so excited about having this additional expansion."
Milanoski speaks from experience about what Thomas the Tank Engine means to children and families. Before his son could talk, he had his father create the Island of Sodor at home. He said it's what Thomas represents, those wholesome family values, that really bring meaning to the project.
Edaville celebrates 70 years this year. Priscoli has been owner since 2002.

After years of debate, division and stalemate, a shift in political calculations has resuscitated the possibility of reforming the nation's immigration system. On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators unveiled its proposal. On Tuesday, President Obama followed with his suggestions. These developments suggest that lawmakers may finally have the political courage, and the necessary incentives, to reach an agreement that has eluded leaders of both parties for more than a decade.
Both proposals offer a framework for dealing with the estimated 11 million immigrants who live here illegally, enforcing immigration law at the border and the workplace, extending citizenship to children brought to this country illegally by their parents, and modernizing the current visa system to help retain highly educated young people and attract more entrepreneurs. That's a good start. As the debate moves from rhetoric to legislation, all parties should be guided by broad principles of humanity and common sense. Among them:
• Simple amnesty is not desirable — it rewards too many for breaking the law. But meaningful reform must provide an opportunity for those undocumented immigrants already in the country to secure citizenship, and that route cannot be so tortuous or punitive that it defeats the goal. Those who are illegally in the country ought to pay a penalty and be made to wait for a green card. But the wait must not punish immigrants based on their country of origin or be so long that it discourages them from seeking citizenship. Under the current system, an immigrant from Britain who overstayed a student visa would face a far shorter line than someone who illegally crossed the border from Mexico, who would be forced to wait at least a decade before qualifying for a green card.

Cleveland Gay Man Assaulted By 20-Person Mob
Police are investigating a mob attack in Cleveland that left a gay man with lacerations to his face. Jared Fox says he was assaulted by a group of up to 20 people who lobbed homophobic slurs outside the Cocktails Lounge in the Ohio City.
"Last night I was the victim of a hate crime. I was walking into a bar on Detroit Avenue in Cleveland. I was walking from my parked car. I got out and I saw a group of youth on the side of the street," Fox said in a YouTube video detailing the attack (below). "Instincts and my experience with youth was that kids in a large group just aren't up any good."
"They started to just charge and they surrounded me. They thought I was an easy target."
"They just started beating me," Fox continues. "They punched my glasses into my face and sliced it right there" he said while pointing to the cut on his nose. He said he also suffered a ruptured eardrum. "They stomped on me, my back, my ribs while I was on the ground."
"One of them asked 'Do you want to die?'" Fox says. "I thought 'No, who wants to die? Not me.'"
Fox says that he begged a passing car for help to no avail, then proceeded to pound on the doors of nearby homes. No one responded. He instead credits his rescue to bartenders and the EMT personal.
A police investigation into the attack has been launched with no immediate leads.

News Archive
This page is a portal for numerous World of Warcraft user interface addons created by me, Saeris. Each addon also has a "Documentation" directory within its folder, containing a description of its functionality, the entire documented history of changes, developer notes (if applicable), the license, contact information (including the information needed to donate if you wish), an explanation of my addon type system, and an explanation of my versioning system. All of this information is also present either right here, or on
my home page
, or on the addon's own page. Also, if needed, you can review installation instructions.
Installation Instructions
To install an addon, first download the latest version of that addon, which is a simple .zip archive file. Navigate to the location where you saved the file, right click it, and select the option to unzip the file to the current directory from the context menu. Open the folder that appears to find one or more additional folders inside, select and right click those folders, and select "Cut". Now navigate to the directory on your hard drive where the game is installed. If there is no folder in that directory named "Interface", create one, and then create another folder within that one named "AddOns". Within the AddOns folder, right click and select "Paste", to drop the addon you are installing into this folder. If you are asked whether to overwrite existing files, select "Yes". Then ensure the folder hierarchy is correct by checking this format:
{game directory} \ Interface \ AddOns \ {addon name} \ {individual files and possibly other sub-folders}
If the folders and files are in that order, with respect to case sensitivity, you have successfully installed the addon. For WAR addons, the addon can be installed while the game is running, but you must type "/reloadui" afterward to load it. For WoW addons, you should exit the game before installing the addon.
These addons may be used or modified in any way which exhibits full compliance with the game's Terms of Service (TOS) and End User License Agreement (EULA) or End User Access and License Agreement (EUALA), as well as the rules of the website from which the files were downloaded. You may redistribute these addons, but only if they are completely unchanged from the way they were found in their zip files. If you wish to distribute a modified version, you must first obtain permission directly from the author, Saeris.
Contact Information
If you found a bug in one of these addons, want to provide feedback, want to help translate one, or even just want to ask a question, please contact the author, Saeris, using one of these methods:
Email address:
[email protected]
ICQ number: 119161819

Addon Type System
These addons use a system in which there are three distinct types:
These addons actually provide functionality to the user. They may be entirely self-contained, or they may make use of library-type and plugin-type addons. Interface-type addons always appear with this directory path:
{game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{interface name}/
These addons exist simply to provide functionality to other addons of any type, and as their type name suggests, they may be shared between multiple other addons as a single, efficient source of the aforementioned functionality. For convenience, all library-type addons are prefixed with "Lib" to identify them from the other types of addons. Libraries may appear either included with the addons that use them (often in a subdirectory called "libs" or "Libraries") or as a normal addon, with directory paths like these:
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{library name}/
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{interface or plugin using the library}/libs/{library name}/
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{interface or plugin using the library}/{library name}/
If they are included, the user does not need to worry about versions (since each addon includes the version it needs, and libraries are backwards compatible); if they are installed as normal addons, the user is responsible for ensuring that the installed version of the library is up to date. Library addons may have their major version suffixed to their name, such as "Library3" for a library of version 3.x.x, in cases where backwards compatibility cannot be maintained across major versions. This allows the older version of the library to remain installed and providing functionality even when a newer version is also present.
These addons are generally optional, and "plug in" to interface-type addons to provide additional functionality. Most interface-type addons which use plugins will not actually provide any significant functionality on their own. Generally, plugins will include the name of their parent interface addon in their own name to help identify them. Plugin-type addons may appear with these directory paths like these:
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{plugin name}/
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{parent interface name}/Plugins/{plugin name}/
* {game directory}/Interface/AddOns/{parent interface name}/{plugin name}/
An addon's type and any libraries it uses are listed at the top of its functionality description text file.
Versioning System
These addons adhere to a #.#.# versioning format:
The first number (the 11 in 11.22.33) denotes the current major version. This number is incremented when the addon's functionality or style of code changes so significantly as to barely resemble previous versions. For library-type addons, which provide functionality to client addons, this number is also a guarantee that every release within this major version will be backwards compatible with previous releases that are also within this major version. In these cases, this number is actually a suffix on the library's name. This is done so newer major versions of libraries will not overwrite older ones, since those may still be in use by other clients.
The second number (the 22 in 11.22.33) denotes the current minor version. This number is incremented when functionality is added, modified, or removed.
The third number (the 33 in 11.22.33) denotes the current subminor version. This number is incremented when a release's purpose is to fix bugs or errors, or to increase efficiency in some way, or to make a minor cosmetic adjustment.

Hello there. I apologize for having not had my addons updated for the release of WotLK. I've been very busy and simply haven't had the time. However, now I do, so you'll see updates to most, if not all, of my addons in the coming weeks. In particular, LinksList, QuickChatlink, LinkBot, BigBankStatement, and Segui have all already been updated. If you are interested in seeing one particular addon updated hastily, let me know via email and I will prioritize.

, the description of which is thus: "Less customizable but more efficient and accurate version of DruidBar, an addon which displays a Druid's mana when in bear/cat form. Type "/sdb" for options." Take a look at the screenshot.
SpeakEasyGUI with delays and LootLink with TBC compatibility
11-23-06 08:29 PM by:
I've just posted a new version of SpeakEasyGUI that includes the ability to place a delay between the time that an entry is confirmed valid and the time it is actually sent.
Also, I've uploaded an official 6.0.0 version of LootLink (which contains all of the 6.0.0 beta versions and some additional fixes) as well as version 6.0.1, which is the same as 6.0.0 but with full compatibility for the expansion API.

ATMOS Global™ (ATMOS Australia Pty Ltd – Elite Atmospheric Air Quality Modelling & Forecasting and Climate Change Research Consultants ™) launched at MINExpo 2012 a first-of-its-kind 'constellation of world's first transformative multi-system dust management technologies' assimilated in the company's new services line-up structure, intuitively named the DustPack ™ : Evidence-Based Dust Management Service Structure ™ (ATMOS-5D+ ™, DustAlert+ ™, DustFinder+ ™ and RiskBalance+ ™).
DustPack ™ delivers more than 25,000 site level 'dust impact forecasts'™ every year (achieved 24/7 through ATMOS Global's Centre for Global and Site Specific Dust Impact Forecasting, Management and Control ™) and supports ATMOS Global's new VerifiedDust ™ global initiative, a 'journey of 1,000 mines, one mine at a time'™ in the pursuit and discovery of environmental excellence, inspired by their 2020 vision.
There has been a broad recognition of the importance of access to practical evidence-based knowledge and information that enhance the ability of mining companies to formulate new or improve existing dust management plans for their growth-oriented global or regional operations.
Dr Orestis Valianatos, the Global President and Chief Executive Officer of ATMOS Global, said that "For example, in addition to the evident benefits that mine sites enjoy by using the DustPack ™ to map, measure and coordinate the use of their dust management resources, reducing water, energy and labour cost associated with the use of water trucks for dust control, they also reduce the overall haul road maintenance costs, downtime on repairs and fuel consumption of haul trucks, as well as increase productivity by extending tyre life-all crucial elements in the efficiency equation for mining operations. We did not invent forecasting, we invented successful 'dust impact forecasting'™".
"According to the level of complexity required by the mine site operations, ATMOS Global's new DustPack ™ is available in three high-tech options: 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze'. DustPack ™ and our 'Air Quality and Climate Change Academy' ™ make life better for people on and off the job and sustains the 'human engine'", explains Dr Valianatos.
ATMOS Global's DustPack ™ (Gold) package has been used for a mining project nominated as a finalist (jointly with ATMOS Global ™) for one of the most prestigious awards for environmental excellence in Australia.
ATMOS Global ™ uses green energy from Green Power accredited sources to offset by 100% the carbon emissions related to its energy consumption.

The Most Intensely Horrible High School Girls' Hurdles Race You'll Ever See
This has me in stitches. Maybe it's the dramatic music, or the faux "Courage!" message, or the fact that all of these girls repeatedly run into/fall over each hurdle while competing, but—whatever it is—you need to watch immediately.
[There was a video here]
The High School Hurdle Girls, Slowed Down and with More Radiohead
Yesterday, we posted a video of an intensely horrible high school girls' hurdles race (here). It was an instant Internet sensation! Or something. Anyway, somebody took the video, slowed it down, and added the acoustic cover of Radiohead's "Creep."
Steeple Races: Like Hurdles, with Water
This girl cannot hurdle, so adding water on the other side does not help. Here is another sarcastically scored video of a high school track and field fail! Watch as she becomes fodder for the crowd.

Rose Hill's inaugural Labor Day community event was fun for residents, families and friends. Peak attendance was estimated to be 250 folks but many came and went throughout the late afternoon.
The children enjoyed face painting, a bounce house and the dunk tank. The president of the POA, Ed Bednarik, went home waterlogged after being dunked by fast pitching boys and girls. Even a few wives dunked their
The driving skills of residents were put to the test with the golf cart obstacle course, which produced a winning time of 51 seconds.
The bake sale was a huge success because of the many fabulous bakers who donated their goods along with favorite recipes for an upcoming Rose Hill Plantation cookbook. Great food was had by all and included favorite picnic items such as pulled pork, hamburgers and hot dogs. Caddy's at the Clubhouse catered the event with "hot off the grill" items.
Donations during the event are earmarked for new commercial grade playground equipment for the children. Rose Hill Plantation wants to thank all the generous sponsors that provided everything from refreshments, gifts, playground equipment and the bounce house.
As one longtime resident stated, we haven't seen this many kids having fun in ages, let's do it again next year. The rain held off, the mood was happy and carefree - all in all a perfect way to end the summer season.

Polaris is a fanzine published by Paul Freehafer (d. 1944) in the 1930s in Payette, Indiana, and later in the 1940s in Pasadena, and then Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Six issues were published of this zine between the years 1939 and 1941. It was devoted to "weird" fiction and stories.
Polaris features fiction by Robert Barlow, Ray Bradbury, John F. Burke (Satellite), Damon Knight, Jack Chapman Miske, Bob Tucker and Donald Wollheim (The Phantagraph). It also included art work by Hannes Bok.
Vol 1, issue 4, published in September of 1940 included "The Tree on the Hill" by Duane Rimel, which had been revised by H.P. Lovecraft in 1934, and this was the first publication of it. Rimel was a correspondent of Lovecraft's from 1934 till 37. He was also one of the co-editors of The Acolyte.

Day one of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. was heavier on emotion and personal stories than it was on verifiable facts, but there was still plenty of fodder for our Investigations Inc. fact checking team.
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro debuted on the national stage with a claim about job growth under President Obama.
"Despite incredible odds and united Republican opposition, our president took action, and now we've seen 4.5 million new jobs," Castro said.
By one measure, private sector jobs created since January, 2010 — after the Obama stimulus had taken full effect — Castro's number is correct. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says from February, 2010 through July of this year, the private sector added 4,544,000 jobs.
But during the whole of Mr. Obama's presidency, private sector job growth has been less robust, at 1,057,000. (Read More: Who Creates Jobs? How Economists See the Obama-Romney Debate.)
And figure in government jobs which have steadily declined, and the economy has added just 408,000 jobs in the Obama years.
It is also worth noting that even the most favorable jobs number for Mr. Obama essentially keeps pace with population growth.
How does Mitt Romney's job creation record compare?
To answer that question, the Democrats enlisted his successor as Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick.
"In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney," Patrick said. "By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation — during better economic times — and household income in our state was declining. He cut education deeper than anywhere else in America. Roads and bridges were crumbling. Business taxes were up, and business confidence was down."
The claim that Romney left Massachusetts 47th in job creation first emerged during the Republican primaries, and it is as dubious now as it was then.
It is true that if you consider the average ranking of Massachusetts for job creation during Romney's 2003-2007 term, the state comes in 47th. But the Bay State did improve to 30th in his final year in office, based on the percentage of job growth from December 2005 through December 2006, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is still not a number to write home about, but less damning than the 47th place ranking Romney's opponents prefer to cite.
Back in July, we looked closely at Romney's Massachusetts record, as part of our annual America's Top States for Businessreport. Our first study in 2007 largely reflected on Romney's final year in office, and found a mixed picture. While the state finished 12th overall and first for Education, it finished 41st in the Economy category. The state finished 38th for Infrastructure. (Read More: Top States Study Gives Romney Mixed Review as Mass. Governor.)
A recurring theme for the Democrats is the claim that Mitt Romney proposes to cut taxes on the very rich, at the expense of just about everyone else. (Read More: Romney Tax Plan Helps Rich the Most: Tax Group.)
"We need to make a choice," said Julián Castro. "It's a choice between a country where the middle class pays more so that millionaires can pay less, or a country where everybody pays their fair share so we can reduce the deficit and create the jobs of the future."
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley was more specific: "Instead of a balanced, achievable plan to create jobs and reduce the deficit, Mitt Romney says — puts forth a plan that will cut taxes for millionaires and raise them for the middle class."
This is not what Romney "says." On the contrary, he has promised to cut taxesfor the middle class as part of a 20 percent across-the-board reduction in marginal rates. But he does not say how he will do so while keeping his promise to make his tax reforms "revenue neutral" by broadening the tax base.
The Tax Policy Center concluded last month that base-broadening would by necessity raise taxes on the middle class, because it would require eliminating tax breaks that disproportionately benefit middle class taxpayers. The report notes that even if the plan makes up for the lost revenue by cutting spending instead of deductions, that too would disproportionately affect the middle class.
The Romney campaign has disputed the finding, while refusing to specify what deductions it would eliminate without raising taxes on the middle class. Nonetheless, it is inaccurate to suggest — as Democrats almost certainly will repeatedly this week — that raising taxes on the middle class is one of Romney's stated goals, even if some argue it would be an inevitable consequence of his plan.

Morning Five: 01.07.10 EditionPosted by rtmsf on January 7th, 2010
- The inaugural Skip Prosser Classic was a great idea and although emotionally draining, a great game too. Mike DeCourcy reflects on Sunday night's Wake Forest-Xavier tilt.
- This is wonderful and all regarding the success of Eric Reveno at Portland, but do you get the sense that this article should have been written a month ago (you know, after the nice run in the 76 Classic and before the Pilots lost games to Portland State, Idaho and Nevada)?
- Seth Davis' mailbag includes even more stock reports, including those of Pitt, Vandy and much discussion of some of the others discussed earlier this week. Great banter, as always.
- Hoops historians, do you know who Travis Grant is? He scored over 4,000 points and won three national championships at Kentucky State, but he isn't in any Hall of Fame at any level of the sport (actually, he is in one HOF as of last two months ago). Fanhouse has a good read on the player nicknamed the "Machine Gun."
- Gary Parrish is doing a weekly article counting down the top ten NCAA Tournament games of the last decade. We remember this tenth choice very well. Let's just say that the Ron Lewis three at the end of regulation was a dagger through our wallet that we felt for at least a month after that fateful shot. Which game will be #1? Arizona-Illinois? Kansas-Memphis? West Virginia-Louisville? Arizona-Gonzaga? We could go on and on…

Halloween night, most caldrons will be filled with candy. But the ones on the stove might be filled with bones (cue creepy music).
The holiday aside, in this era of nose-to-tail dining, adding "bones" to the shopping list doesn't seem unusual — nor should it. Dogs know what humans should: Bones are nutritious and delicious.
Cooking with bones is as old as cooking itself. In the "appetizers and snacks" section of "Le Guide Culinaire," published in 1903, the famed French chef Auguste Escoffier included a simple recipe for grilled sirloin bones: "Sprinkle them with cayenne," he advised. "Coat them with mustard, and grill them."
Today, bones are rarely prepared in such a straightforward manner. They usually arrive on the plate still attached to a piece of meat, or hidden in a chicken or fish.
"Boneless rib isn't going to have nearly as much flavor as eating ribs off a rack of bones," says Clementine executive chef Jill Snyder. "The benefits of cooking any meat on the bone are the flavor and taste. The meat stays moist, and there will be more flavor."
According to Cyrus Keefer, chef de cuisine at Birroteca, "Bone-in meats cook more evenly. Cook them slow, let them rest, and for crispy skin, sear them before you serve them."
Separated from their meat, bones may stand alone, roasted and presented as a vessel for their unctuous, intensely rich marrow.
"Bone marrow is highly sought after at our restaurant," says Jacob Raitt, the chef de cuisine at Corner BYOB in Hampden. "It's buttery, rich, pure fat."
At Corner BYOB, Raitt cuts 3- or 4-inch bones lengthwise to expose the marrow in the center. He then roasts the bones for 10 or 15 minutes with herbs, butter and bread crumbs. "We serve it with toast," he says, comparing its texture to another delicacy, foie gras.
Marrow's intense flavor comes at a price — it's high in fat and calories. But like bones themselves, it's also full of protein.
"Bone is a living thing," says Kelly O'Connor, registered dietitian and director of diabetes education at Mercy Medical Center. "Therefore, it is involved in the processes in the body and serves as a storehouse. Bones are full of calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and other minerals."
Mark Sisson, author of "The Primal Blueprint," is a proponent of the paleo or "primal" diet. The diet is an approach to eating that adopts the habits of the Paleolithic people who lived 2.4 million years ago — a combination of wild game, fish, ostrich eggs and gathered plants, seeds and nuts. People who adhere to the diet work to get as much out of animal products as they can, right down to the bone.
On his blog, "Mark's Daily Apple" (www.marksdailyapple.com), Sisson calls marrow "sacred gel" and rattles off a list of the nutrients bones contain. Calcium and phosphorous top his list, which also includes magnesium, collagen, gelatin, the amino acids glycine and proline, and hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, two elements of cartilage.
O'Connor and Sisson agree that the best way to extract the nutrients from bones is by making stock. "Making broth from any type of animal bones is a nutritious and inexpensive way to obtain valuable nutrients," says O'Connor.
For chefs, stocks are a core element of cooking. "Stock is the main way I use bones in our kitchen," says Snyder.
For home cooks, beef, chicken, and fish stock are the varieties that most immediately come to mind. But for chefs, there's more variety.
"Pork stock is awesome," says Snyder. "You should hear about it more. We have a whole hog we're breaking down right now, so of course, using the whole animal is important. I make pork stock, then braise some of the cuts of the pork in the stock. It's all about getting the maximum amount of flavor out of each bite."
Raitt promotes the virtues of veal demiglace, a highly flavorful sauce base made by reducing veal stock down to a pastelike texture. "It's a three-day process," Raitt says. "The more you reduce, the more the marrow's natural gelatin thickens the sauce. The demiglace is the base of nearly every sauce we use."
Home cooks without access to whole hogs, or the means to simmer stock for three days, might want to start with something simpler. "The easiest and quickest bone usage for a home cook would be brown cooking stock," says Raitt.
Chefs agree that stock is an important element of good home cooking and that it is fairly simple to make, but they differ on the details.
Keefer recommends roasting the bones lightly before cooking and simmering the stock for only 45 minutes. Snyder, on the other hand, recommends a deeper roast, and Raitt suggests simmering for two or three hours.
All three add mirepoix — diced carrots, celery and onions — to the stock before it cooks. And they say that confident cooks can experiment with cooking times and the addition of wine and herbs to the mix.
No matter the final technique, good stock is the foundation of many delicious and nutrient-rich meals. Keefer says, "It's healthy and nice to know that you're in control of what's in your cooking and what's going into your body."
In Baltimore, home cooks can often find bones at low prices, or for free, at local butcher shops. Matthew Daly, the corporate manager of Ceriello Fine Foods in Belvedere Square, recommends calling the shop a few days before making the stock to make sure he has bones on hand.
"You should never show up the day you need them," he warns. "Your butcher might not have them. Call three to four days beforehand, so they're ready for you."
Helpful advice, when the pantry is fresh out of bones for the caldron.
Basic chicken stock with star anise
Birroteca chef de cuisine Cyrus Keefer compares making great stock to making tea, saying the focus should be on extracting as much flavor as possible from the bones without muddying up the works with additional ingredients.
"Stocks are very simple," he says. "Some chefs get a bit crazy and overwhelm stocks with too many ingredients. I think the more you put in with the bones, the more away from the actual flavor of the bones you get."
He recommends a simple combination of bones, mirepoix (celery, onion, carrots), and star anise. Keefer also suggests seasoning the stock with salt throughout the cooking process "to build the flavor while the cooking is in progress."
Makes: approximately 2 quarts of stock
5 pounds chicken bones
2 medium onions, roughly chopped
4 celery stalks, roughly chopped
3 carrots, cleaned and roughly chopped
3 star anise pods
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Clean the chicken bones, leaving as little meat on them as possible. Place them on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan, in one layer. Roast for about 45 minutes or until the bones are golden brown.
For a lighter stock, reduce roasting time.
Place the bones, vegetables and star anise in a large stock pot. Add water until the pot's contents are covered.
Slowly bring the water to a boil, then turn down to low heat. Let the stock simmer, uncovered, over very low heat for 45 minutes to one hour (see note), occasionally skimming the froth or foam that comes to the surface.
Taste and lightly season with salt at several points while cooking. Be careful not to overseason — adjust the salt to your personal preference.
After removing the stock from the heat, let cool for 30 minutes to one hour. Remove the chicken bones, vegetables, and star anise, and discard.
Strain the stock through a fine sieve, discarding any solids remaining.
Cool the stock in the refrigerator overnight to allow fat to rise to the surface. Skim the fat before freezing.
The stock will last for two to three months in the freezer.
Note: Keefer recommends only one hour of simmering time for smaller batches of stock, explaining that cooking for too long will result in a stock that's "cloudy and muddy." However, larger batches of stock require more time simmering.
Making stock
Every stock is different, and every chef — whether cooking at home or in a grand restaurant kitchen — has personal preferences. To get the most out of homemade stock, consider these suggestions:
•Clean up. "Clean as much meat as you can off the bones," says Clementine's Jill Snyder. It will make roasting easier.
•Roast first. Roasting the bones before covering them with water to simmer will bring out their flavor and add depth to the stock. The longer the roast, the richer the flavor.
•Use the bits. Oft-forgotten pieces like chicken feet and pig knuckles add flavor and nutrients to stock.
•Experiment with liquids. Try adding wine or small amounts of vinegar to amp up the flavor and nutritional value. According to Mercy Medical Center dietitian Kelly O'Connor, "Adding a small amount of an acidic agent, such as apple cider vinegar, helps bring the minerals out of the bone."
•Play with spices and seasonings. Try adding different spices to the mix — garlic, bay leaves, star anise and other dried herbs will subtly shift stock's flavor. Experiment with salt, as well, adding it early in the process or later.

Rise of the Blobs is a little bit like Fruit Ninja meets Tetris. The story is a little confusing, in that somehow some blobs have arrived on earth and are threatening to kill us all us unless we cover them in fruit and make them explode.
Rise of the Blobs
- Format
- Android
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play
Like all the best games, the first thing you think when you play Rise of the Blobs is: "This is SO easy, a baby could play this." That's a thought you retract when it soon becomes clear just how hard it can quickly become.
Like Tetris, the idea is ridiculously straightforward. Plop some things of one colour on top of things another colour. They will then get encased in jelly, and you'll be able to pop them. Is it jelly? We have no idea, we think it mentions it at the start of the game, but it makes no sense anyway, so it's best to just go with the flow.
What we really like is the speed and responsiveness. The turret turns quickly, and the whole thing looks really nice, and plays smoothly. This is good, especially for a freemium game. And yes, there is some commerce here too. If you find you don't have the skill to unlock levels, it's possible to pay to get access. You can also buy items that will help you with the game, or give you an advantage.
As you progress, there are different kinds of games. You can play timed missions and the difficulty increases substantially, as you would expect. There are rewards to unlock that will either give you new functionality or help you play the game. But we suspect completing it will be damn near impossible without buying some sort of in-game help.
Still, free is always worth having, we tend to move on to the next game long before we've got to an impossible part of the first. So we reckon there's some quality fun to be had out of Rise of the Blobs.

You know how The Roots band leader Questlove kind of always seems to be in Chicago deejaying at a nightclub nearby? If you didn't previously think that these sets were not to be missed, i'm telling you: Don't miss a Questlove DJ set if you can help it.
Headlining an all-star lineup of DJs at the live Turntable.fm showcase at SXSW on March 15--with A-Trak and Diplo--Questlove led a group of dance-hungry kiddos (like myself at the time, let's be honest) in a timeline of pop's greatest hits throughout the decades, spanning from Frankie Lymon's "Little Bitty Pretty One" to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" all the way up to Kanye West's "Gold Digger," all layered over and between some irresistable beats.
Sure, A-Trak and the many DJs on before him, may have warmed up the crowd a bit for a dance party, but Questlove got every single person in the expansive metal warehouse moving. Also consider: This was midnight on the third day of the festival, when feet start to ache and backs feel like they're about to break. Yet somehow everyone forgot about how much their dogs were killing them and just danced their faces off for a straight hour. Well done, sir.
Oh, and thanks for the retweet, Questlove.

Hearing care provider HearUSA, which previously introduced the AARP Hearing Care program on a limited basis in 9 states in which the company owns hearing care centers, is rolling out the program to an additional 24 states by the end of 2010. Plans are for the program to be extended to all 50 states and the U.S. territories by the end of 2011, through a nationwide network of more than 3,500 credentialed hearing care providers.
The program, available exclusively to AARP members, offers rehabilitation and consultation services in addition to discounts on state-of-the-art hearing aid technology, extended warranties, and battery supplies.
According to David Mathis, senior vice-president of AARP's Health Products and Services, all respondents of a 268-member survey taken during the 9-state pilot program said they were satisfied with the program, giving it a score of 90% or higher.

We understand that choosing the right location is important to you. Our CareLine is ready to assist you in making the right decision for care needed.
Silver-Level Quality Award Honors Best Practices in Long-Term Care[Kennett Square, PA] – July 12, 2012 – Genesis HealthCare, one of the nation's largest providers of skilled nursing and rehabilitation, today announced that three of its Centers have been recognized as 2012 recipients of the Silver – Achievement in Quality presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The award highlights select facilities across the nation that serve as models of excellence in providing high-quality long-term care.
Genesis Centers receiving the Silver honor include: • Kimberly Hall South, Windsor, CT• Lebanon Center, Lebanon, NH• Springbrook Center, Westbrook, ME
"This award is a benchmark of distinction in the journey to providing high quality care," said Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. "The long term and post-acute care community applauds the Genesis HealthCare centers on this great achievement."
In an indication of a strengthening commitment to quality care in skilled nursing and post-acute care centers, the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program saw success rates of applicants for the Silver award double from 8% to 17%. The Genesis centers were 3 of only 52 facilities nationwide to receive the Silver-level award this year."It is a tremendous honor for these three centers to achieve this distinction," notes Chief Executive Officer George V. Hager, Jr. "The award recognizes the exceptional dedication and quality care that the employees of these centers provide to our patients every day."Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long-term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.
The program has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Facilities begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level and must receive an award at each level before proceeding to the next. As recipients of the Silver – Achievement in Quality award, these Genesis centers have demonstrated systematic advancements in quality, plans for continual improvement, and sustainable organizational goals. These centers may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Gold – Excellence in Quality award, which requires them to address the Baldrige Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence in its entirety.
"Receiving this award is evidence of the staff commitment and successful leadership at these three Genesis centers and their ability to apply rigorous standards to operation and service," says Chick Stepahin, Chair, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers. "These Genesis centers have been consistent in their performance and dedication to providing high quality care."
The awards are sponsored by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Member My InnerView, a Web-based applied research and quality-management company that supports leaders across the entire assisted living, senior housing and skilled nursing profession with tools to measure, benchmark and improve performance. These awards will be presented during AHCA/NCAL's 63rd Annual Convention and Exposition, October 7-10, 2012 in Tampa, Florida. ______________________________________________________________________________

Perhaps there is some rule that says you can not show your face in the real world to other people. Of course Lion-san did show the teacher, but I don't believe that she even saw him. I have no idea on why he would be playing with rockets instead of crossing the river. Maybe it was his destiny to meet Asumi and be her mentor. Then when she has grown up to be an astronaut he can truly move on.

I think that Lion-san was in the spirit world to tell Asumi how to get out of it. Plus, he still wants to remain in the material world in order to be a "guardian angel/tutor" for Asumi. Which is why he was just hanging out in the spirit world in stead of crossing over the river (he's still attached to something/someone). Also, it was Asumi's fate to lead her mom out of the misery of being stuck in a spirit world, lingering without purpose. If Asumi did not accidentally fall into the river, then her mother's soul would linger on hopelessly. Too bad Asumi couldn't get to draw her mom's actual face... and freak out her Dad and teacher...hehehe ^_^

Was Here
You all seem to be assuming that she was really dead and everything she saw with her mother actually happened and that could be true but, the way i saw it when i first watched it was she was never really dead just unconscious and everything she saw was just a dream she had, caused by everything her dad recently told her about the river crossing and what not. And her seeing her mother was just something her mind created to help itself ease the pain of loosing her mother. Her finally seeing her mothers face was one of two things ether just made up in which case thats not really what her mom looked like or just a really old memory pulled up from the back of her head to remember what she looked like. This was all just what i figured so let me know if any of this made any sense to any one ells and feel free to disagree and/or prove me wrong.

Ok then. You're wrong.
With this show so firmly planted in the "spirit world" as it is it's pretty safe to assume Asumi really did meet her mother.
Just the fact that she met Lion-san there is proof enough. She couldn't possibly have dreamt him up because I'm pretty sure she had never seen him before.

If you want proof here it is: Asumi is a child, if she wanted to see her mom in her dream face to face, she would. That way she could've just drawn her mom's face during the sunset.... but noooo the mom was still wrapped up in bandages. Secondly, She's too young to understand the idea of "Asumi, don't get on the boat, you survive, etc." and why would she come up with "I hope Asumi grows up to be kind like you" lines?!
Conclusion: it all happened

I'm not really the kind of guy to dig into and overanalyze things like this, but my immediate thought about what happened in ep5 was that it actually did happen. Again I'm not too firm on it so I can go both ways. The only thing I really care about is the actual content in her dream which was very well made and made me feel a little less erm.. masculine.. if anyone figures that one out.
I liked all the details, that the boat wouldnt move when Asumi was on it, that she drew a smiley face on her drawing in the end, and that her mother didn't know the child guiding her was her daughter.
The latter reminds me of a scene in scrapped princess which was also one of the better sentimental scenes I've seen.

Didn't Lion-san tell her to go to the river and follow it up the stream? I could be wrong on this, I'd check but I delete episodes after I watch them.
What had me puzzled though, was why Asumi got on the boat. Was it just to help her mother onto it? She did wonder how they were going to make it move.

I like to think that the boat didn't move since it wasn't Asumi's time... And when she jumped out of it, boat started to move since her mother was onlyone on board.
Or it was just when she jumped she gave small kick to the boat to make it move.
"Lion-san" told that Asumi could return to real world by walking opposite direction than the river's flow.
I made a little google search and there is Sanzu river (Sanzu no kawa) in Buddhist mythology, it is much like Styx river in Greek mythology.

Argh... I watched from episode 1 to 6 in a row and it was really depressing. This series is really touching. There were a couple of scenes that almost made me cry, like when she drew her mother in class.
I think Lion-san is sticking around because he really wanted to go to the space. He's one of these spirits that cant rest due to an unfulfilled wish, and fate allowed him to meet Asumi and watch over her, since her becoming an astronaut would allow him to do that (sort of like the relationship between Sai and Hikaru in Hikaru no Go).

getting in comps' heads
I don't think asumi forgot crossing it meant death, I think she just wanted to be with her mom, though she might have forgotten, it isn't clear.
Am I the only one who thinks lion-san stayed for asumi's teacher? They were engaged I think she said... regardless of that they were definately in love... he was still too atached to her to leave... there are several examples of him watching over her... anyway...
Actually, ep8 has already aired in japan, anime-fansubs is just a bit slow... but it's ok, just glad they're doing it for us...
Their release schedule is inconsistant, don't expect it once a week, again just be glad to be getting it, though I too am anxiously awaiting the next episode.

Scripture: Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Observation: This verse stirs two very strong thoughts: the weakness of the law and the power of the cross. It also leads me to consider how important my righteousness is to God. It is so important that He sent His Son to die! Amazing! If we could have done enough works in keeping the law to be righteous, then the suffering and death of Jesus would have been unnecessary.
The battle was won on the cross! It was there, on the cross, that the price was paid. It was there that Jesus won over the temptation of trying an easier way. It was there that the power of Satan's temptation to move outside the will of the Father was defeated! Jesus would not give in to the devil's temptation to move other than in His Father's will!
Jesus entered death as The Triumphant One. He entered the grave as The Victorious One! He came out as More than a Conqueror! The three days in the grave was the victory lap taken after the race had been won!
Application: Jesus is a Conqueror because He defeated sin on the cross and death in His resurrection. He is More than a Conqueror for now His victorious life lives in me!
Prayer: Lord, I serve you not because I am earning my salvation, but because I greatly appreciate what you have done for me! Amen

Is There A Need For A Dedicated Journalism Outfit To 'Follow Up' On News?
from the that's-not-news,-that's-olds... dept
While I find the discussion interesting, I have to admit that I'm not convinced of the premise. After all, there are plenty of news stories that live on for a while, if the "follow up" events are considered newsworthy. And certainly, on niche topics, there are plenty of dedicated folks who follow those stories all the time. So an organization that just does follow through doesn't necessarily make sense, because the problem isn't necessarily the lack of follow-up, but the lack of newsworthy information to come out of such follow-ups.

Ever since hearing that Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island maestro Ron Gilbert had moved to Double Fine Productions (The Brutal Legend and Psychonauts studio headed by his old partner in crime Tim Schafer), I've been dying to know what he's been working on.
We've had all manner of announcements from the studio lately, but nothing yet on Gilbert's game, though he is doubtless hard at work on it. Today, Gilbert posted a couple of pieces of concept art to his blog, Grumpy Gamer, which is the first hint we've had of what the game will look like. The first one is a lady in a lab coat with outsized glasses straight out of The Far Side (she's called "The Scientist"), and a rough-looking gentleman in a double-breasted suit known as "The Mobster."
More compelling than the images, perhaps, are Gilbert's own words in the post—he says that the two characters are playable, and that he's excited about the game:
This is an idea that has been in my head for a long long long time. It predates Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island. It's a game that needed to be made.
These are two of the playable characters. That's all I can say right now, but more will follow later.
Well, color me intrigued. We've got a feeler out to Double Fine asking for additional information, and we'll let you know if and when we hear more.

President Bush recently rejected $5.1 billion in Emergency Supplemental Appropriation funds approved by Congress, including $174 million for reconstruction and refugee assistance in Afghanistan, according to Interaction and Care organizations. Among the funding eliminated by this veto is $2.5 million for the Ministry of Womens Affairs, which is slated to build womens centers in each of Afghanistans 32 provinces providing health care, education, and vocational programs for Afghan women and girls.
Bushs veto comes at a time when only a fraction of the $4.5 billion in aid promised by international donors has been provided. The United Nations World Food Program announced this weekend that they have been forced to cut rations for millions in Afghanistan because international donors have not provided the funds needed, UN officials said. Approximately six million Afghans will need food aid over the next year, according to UN figures. The World Food Program is short of more than $90 million or 200,000 tons of food, Reuters reported.
Bush decided to veto these funds after Secretary of State Colin Powell made a commitment last month to step up disbursement of aid to the war-torn nation. The United States has delivered around $400 million in emergency assistance, but with most of it for humanitarian assistance through the UN and other nongovernmental organizations and very little to assist the Afghan government with reconstruction. The cost of reconstruction of Afghanistan is estimated at $14-18 billion over the next decade.
Meanwhile, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously voted to increase funding (both humanitarian and reconstruction funds) and the expansion of international peacekeeping troops right before the summer recess. A similar bill allocating a smaller amount of funding was approved by the House in May.
TAKE ACTION Urge President Bush to Reinstate Funding for Afghan Reconstruction and Refugees
