What is a faculty/staff profile?
A faculty or staff profile is a repository for all your professional activities and accomplishments. The information in your profile may be viewed by colleagues, students and the general public via UMass Dartmouth's Faculty/Staff pages.
There are two options for using a profile:
Easier option: Option 1
Use the profile tool to enter your biography, projects, interests, course information and much more. The course information section allows you to link to, upload, or create information related to your courses.
More in-depth option: Option 2
You can use the profile tool in conjunction with professional web/FTP space that you have or will develop. You can upload files to your web space using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. The profile tool will allow you to link to additional web pages that you've placed on your professional web space. More about option 2
Note: A third option is to use the Web/FTP space and not use the profile tool. However, this option is not recommended; your files will not be listed on the Faculty/Staff pages, and they won't be searchable or maintained. More about this option
How do you establish a faculty or staff profile?
You start by establishing an alias in the self-service system. That alias becomes the folder name for your profile within the faculty/staff profile site.
For example: Mary Smith could establish an alias called mary.smith. Her profile would be found at: www.faculty.umassd.edu/mary.smith/
If you have already established an alias for email use, you can return to the self-service system to select to use that alias for the profile tool. This establishes your profile.
Read more about the alias
Go to the self-service system to establish an alias or to use your alias for the profile tool
How can you access the profile tool?
The tools on the Faculty/Staff profile pages allow you to build your profile. Go to the Faculty/Staff web pages at:
Find your name in the alphabetical listing and click on it. Then click on the "Login" link on the top of the page and use your UMassD Logon (username and password) to log in. You can then begin to build your profile.
Note: If you have recently used the self-service tool to make changes to your account, please allow at least 5 minutes for the changes to take effect before you visit your profile.
|Faculty and staff using profiles and/or web/FTP space must comply with University of Massachusetts policies concerning copyright laws. All copyright material posted without permission of the copyright holder will be immediately removed and/or the user's web profile will be deactivated.
If you have questions about how to establish or revise your faculty/staff profile, please contact Instructional Development at x8501.
For help in establishing an alias, please contact the IT Service Center, x8790.
If you have questions about using a specific alias, please contact Access Services at x8528.

What is professional Web/FTP space?
Each faculty and staff member at UMass Dartmouth may upload files of a professional nature to the faculty/staff web server. Each individual has 10MB of space on the server.
"FTP" stands for File Transfer Protocol, the method of transferring files from one's own computer to the web server. There are a variety of FTP programs you can use, such as Fetch and Filezilla.
Typically, you will create files using HTML (hypertext markup language, the basic language of the Internet) or an HTML visual editor such as Macromedia Dreamweaver. JPGs (photo files), PDFs and Word documents are also appropriate. (Word is not universally viewable, however: you must have Word installed on your machine to be able to view a Word document.)
How can you upload files to your professional Web/FTP space using FTP software?
(Specific directions for the most common FTP programs are noted below.)
1. Use your UMass Dartmouth email account username and password to log in:
Professional Web/FTP space
FTP hostname: www.faculty.umassd.edu or www.staff.umassd.edu (as appropriate)
FTP file system: auto detect (or UNIX)
Web URL: http://www.(faculty or staff).umassd.edu/(your chosen alias)/
FTP space: If you have concerns about space limits, please contact Information Systems Development & Integration.
- Fetch: type FTP hostname into the "Host:" field, your email account username in the "User ID:" field, and your email password in the "Password:" field.
- Dreamweaver: In the Site Definition dialog box (see Dreamweaver Help to learn how to get there), click the "Remote Info" section. (In Dreamweaver MX, you may need to click the "Advanced" tab at top.) Select "FTP" from the "Access:" field, then type FTP hostname in the "FTP Host:" field, your email account username in the "Login:" field, and your email account password in the "Password:" field.
- Filezilla: type FTP hostname in the "Host" field
- For other FTP or web development programs, consult that program's help files.
Note: As this username and password gives you access to a variety of electronic services and online resources, we strongly encourage you not to share your username and/or password with colleagues or students and not to store your password in your FTP client software or your Web browser.
2. The server automatically converts all file and folder names to lower case, and removes all characters other than letters, numbers, "-", "_", and "." (without the quotes) from the file and folder names. Only the "Application.cfm" file is saved with an upper case "A" at the beginning, as mandated by the ColdFusion server. Use only lower case file and folder names to ensure that all links and references within your Web page and to your Web page from other sites work correctly.
3. (a) If you're using option 2 described above (faculty/staff profile plus Web/FTP space), the default homepage file "welcome.cfm" has already been (or will be) created via the profile tool. Please do not create one using the FTP process. If for some reason you do inadvertently create a "welcome.cfm" via FTP, your profile welcome page will be overwritten. Re-create it by returning to the self-service system, activating your profile, and continuing through to the end of the validation process. (b) If you're not using the faculty/staff profile option, but only the Web/FTP space (not recommended), your homepage on your web space should be called "welcome.cfm." If in the future you opt to use the profile tool, this "welcome.cfm" file will be saved as "welcome_backup.cfm," and the profile page will become "welcome.cfm".
4. Please make sure that all links within your page work after uploading the files to the server, and that all images show up correctly.
5. Keep file and folder names short, but meaningful.
6.Keep the file size of images small: no larger than 100K. It's the size of the image file that matters during download over slow modem connections (not the dimensions: height and width).
7. Use the UMassD Web servers only for professional purposes. Do not use the server as a file repository.
8. If you need space for for multimedia content (audio and/or video files), please contact Web Design & Development; multimedia content resides on a different server.
9. Note: The profile tool currently resides on a Cold Fusion server. If you require PHP, please contact Information Systems Development & Integration to be set up on a different server. (If you require PHP, you are only able to use the FTP option.)
Connecting from off-campus
You can connect to the UMassD Web servers from off-campus via FTP if your computer is registered with the UMass Dartmouth campus computer network and has a campus IP address. If you wish to use your FTP account from off-campus, you must first establish your UMass Dartmouth Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. You can find more information on how to set up your VPN connection at http://www.umassd.edu/cits/wireless/. Also refer to Accessing email and FTP via VPN from off campus: a brief guide.

By the second day of the AIIM conference in San Francisco, more than 37,000 people had walked into Moscone Center and pinned on a conference badge.
While the show included the traditional flurry of new product releases and energetic marketing, possibly the biggest news from the AIIM show is the parent organization has amended its name to reflect a broadened scope and a new mission. Officially, the new name is Association of Information and Image Management International. AIIM's added objective is to become more active outside North America, reflecting the trend of a globalized economy and such trade agreements as NAFTA and GATT. The association has already begun implementing a worldwide agenda, including the opening of an office in Brussels.
Guiding AIIM in its first international year will be IBM's David Liddell, who became chairman of the board of directors at the conclusion of the show April 13.
Among the new product announcements was Intergraph's entry into the imaging and workflow arena. Its set of DM2 document management, off-the-shelf software products are initially being marketed to utilities and the federal government. Intergraph says it will expand the product's marketing to include transportation and manufacturing later this year. According to the company, DM2 adds value to "the core to form a comprehensive electronic document management system solution."
Other releases touted product adjustments for compatibility with some operating systems. ATG Cygnet, for example, announced that its optical storage libraries will be accessible through Lotus Notes-based applications.
More than 100 seminars and presentations were featured during the three-day show, with experts lecturing on imaging subjects from the very technical to issues such as ensuring imaging systems are compatible with rules of evidence in court.
One seminar, presented by American Records Managers Association President Tyrone Butler, focused on management concerns in a rapidly changing discipline. "Records managers are as concerned with their jobs as anyone else, with outsourcing and downsizing," Butler said. So it is necessary for managers to stay ahead of the curve and be a part of the information revolution, he said. These needs are reflected in the conference program, with an increasing number of seminars devoted to management.
"We can all agree that the increasing use of technology has changed the way we do business," Butler said. "But, unfortunately, it has not increased productivity. We need to develop imaging systems and document management through the whole system," he said, because automating parts of a process don't always result in an optimal workflow system.
A number of seminars by state and local governments were excellent, but - oddly enough - were sparsely attended. Linda Salac - imaging project director for the Nebraska Department of Health - presented the formula used to introduce Nebraska's statewide vital statistics imaging project and guide it over the hurdles to completion.
A session of particular interest to libraries was "The Role of Full-Text Retrieval in Image-Based Document Management," by Karen M. Shegda of Datapro Information Services Group. Shegda helped explain the options for finding information in documents. Online information repositories will contain more than just text. They will include spreadsheets, video, photos, fax images and more. When entire libraries of data are dumped onto the Internet or other online systems, customized search engines will be needed to locate many different forms of information.
Search engines have evolved from keyword, to Boolean, to newer more intuitive engines that use artificial intelligence and work from natural language queries. More are on the way.
New search engines can scan TIFF files for colors, shades and textures. Neural networks help increase OCR recognition rates. Fuzzy search compensates for misspellings, and allows location of query terms based on root words. Some systems locate information from handwritten forms.
The benefits to government could be significant - shortening conversion time, lowering implementation costs, gaining faster access to documents, and improving productivity.
In keeping with the theme of AIIM, this year's proceedings were available on CD-ROM as well as on the usual hard-copy volumes.

Remembering Yarnell: One family that lost house in Yarnell fire is moving on one year later
PRESCOTT, AZ - The Keehner's were one of the families who didn't have insurance during the Yarnell Hill fire, but community members came together to help raise the money to build them a new home.
"It's all going to work out," Debi Keehner says.
It's taken awhile for Debi to get to the point where she knows it'll all work out.
"I collect chainsaw bears and of course, wood does not survive a fire very well," she said.
Debi and her husband, Steve, lived in their house for more than 40 years but their home was destroyed in the Yarnell Hill fire and the rebuilding process was emotional.
"There were 40 years of memories here," Steve said.
But seeing their community come together to make the seemingly impossible possible, to build a new home where their uninsured one once stood.
"It kind of restored my faith in humanity," Debi said.
She says that she was overwhelmed by all of it but she is very thankful for her new home.
After their home burned they rummaged through the remains to find things that did survive the blaze, like Debi's wind chimes and somehow her grandmother's bible survived in a box full of books where every other one was destroyed.
"If that doesn't give you a different outlook on things, I don't know what does," she said.
Debi is finally starting to come to terms with what happened one year ago but she knows that some of the wounds will never heal.
"It's going to be really hard for, not so much like I said for what we lost, but we owe those 19 guys so much. They will never be forgotten in our lives," Debi said.
The lives and homes that were changed by a tragedy are slowly being rebuilt into something new.
"Keep your head up and one foot in front of the other, and feel blessed," she said.

Didn't see Phil Taylor's nine-darter last night? Come this way
"In my mind I was thinking 'hit a nine-darter, put him under pressure'". So said Phil Taylor after his exhibition of dart-throwing against Kevin Painter last night.
The Power had been trailing 4-1 to Painter at one point during their Premier League Darts head to head in Aberdeen last night, but the multiple world champion battled his way back to 5-4 by the ninth leg before applying the coup de grace to level the scores in the tenth.
Taylor threw a treble 20, treble 17 and double 18 to check out on 147 in the tenth leg and didn't look back thereafter, going on to win 8-5 in the end.
In the night's other matches, Adrian Lewis let a five leg lead slip against Raymond van Barneveld and ended up finishing level on seven legs apiece, Gary Anderson had it easy in an 8-2 win over Andy Hamilton and Simon Whitlock finished on top of the table after defeating James Wade 8-4.
The highlight of the night, however, was undoubtedly Taylor's nine-dart finish, his eleventh ever filmed on live television. Check it out for yourself in the video above.

I Like A Little Shyness TooShyness can be adorable. It also can mean a person is closed and fearful of showing you who they really are. When shy people do open up, share with you, and show you their vulnerabilities, you know they have truly given you a gift. There is nothing necessarily wrong with being shy. At times though, it can be an indicator of other problems.
I have often said, if you are too shy, you don't get what you want.
I am shy, but only a little bit.
justbeit 51-55, M 2 Responses 6 Oct 15, 2010
I agree. There's a place for everything, in moderation.

And when someone who doesn't usually open up to anyone opens up to you, it's truly a special gift, like you said. :)
Shyness has always been attractive to me but because I was shy I never got to meet those people, so i decided I has to be a bit more gregarious. To this day I feel foolish if I notice a women and she catches me looking.

Nearly 100,000 people in the United States are on waiting lists for kidneys, hearts, livers, lungs, and other organs. Many of these people die each day because the demand for organs greatly exceeds the supply, and the disparity is widening.
Throughout its history, the Hastings Center has played a prominent role in developing ethically sound strategies for expanding the organ supply, including recommendations that lead all 50 states to require hospital representatives to discuss organ donation with families of patients declared brain dead. But despite these laws and other strategies, such as organ donation cards, the organ shortage remains. Some people favor changing the federal law to permit people to buy and sell organs. But this approach is fraught with ethical problems, including the risk that only the desperately poor would be induced—and possibly coerced--to sell their body parts.
Blair L. Sadler and Alfred M. Sadler, Jr.

The scarcity of vital organs has prompted several calls to either modify the dead donor rule or interpret it more broadly. Given its symbolic importance, however, the rule should be changed only cautiously.
By Lesley A. Sharp
In this issue, Farhat Moazam and colleagues offer a complex and nuanced study of the postsurgical consequences of kidney vending in Pakistan's Punjab region, providing a comprehensive response to highly polarized debates over the commercialization of "fresh" body parts. By journeying beyond the hospital and into vendors' communities, the research generates troubling findings. All vendors endure strenuous manual labor; simple nephrological tests reveal evidence of kidney disease or failure. Clinical dangers are compounded by anxiety, depression, self-loathing, diminished self-worth, and suicidal tendencies. Vendors are marginalized socially, too—considered "half a person" once they've lost a kidney.
By Farhat Moazam, Riffat Moazam Zaman, and Aamir M. Jafarey
The growing concern about the shortage of kidneys available for transplantation has led some physicians, economists, and bioethicists to call for monetary inducements and "regulated" organ markets as a way of expanding the number of kidneys obtained from living, unrelated individuals. In contrast, those opposed to the idea of organ sales believe that such practices lead to exploitation of the most vulnerable people in society for the benefit of the privileged. Missing from the literature is in-depth sociological work on the vendors—the men and women who opt to undergo nephrectomy for money—and the on-the-ground realities that frame their decision. Very little is known about the sociological and psychological effects on vendors and on the families and societies they belong to when faced with a situation in which the only way to address financial difficulties is to sell a kidney.
Our aim is to turn the light on those who sell kidneys. Our research provides a "thick" description of the lives of kidney vendors and their families in Pakistan, people who stand at the center of organ commerce and yet have remained largely invisible. We attempt to open a window into their lives, to capture through their narratives what it "means" to them and their families when circumstances compel them to sell a kidney, and the ways in which this act affects connected existences.

Recently, a team of physicians at the New York Downtown Hospital announced that they had received approval from their institutional review board to attempt the first uterus transplant in the world from a cadaver donor. Unlike most organ transplants, the point of a uterus transplant would not be to save a life. Uterus transplants would be attempted only to improve the recipient's quality of life: they would allow her to give birth. This very different risk-benefit calculation raises many ethical questions.
By Lainie Friedman Ross, Mark Siegler, and J. Richard Thistlethwaite, Jr.
On September 19, 2007, the board of the United Network for Organ Sharing deferred a decision to adopt uniform medical guidelines to protect the safety of living kidney donors. There is disagreement about what the guidelines should say, primarily because there is a lack of definitive data about the long-term health outcomes for living organ donors.

See physical therapist before surgery?
- Question from Xaniella: Is there a benefit to seeing a physical therapist before having a mastectomy and lymph nodes removed?
- Answers - Linda Miller I think a one-time consultation prior to surgery is an excellent idea. The therapist can take baseline measurements of both arms so that any post-operative changes can be detected. It's also a good time to get questions about lymphedema and return to activity answered. The therapist can also review some simple range of motion exercises that can be done once the drains are removed but before you actually get out to an outpatient therapist.
On Wednesday, May 21, 2008, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called After Surgery: Short-term and Long-term Effects. Kristin Brill, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Linda Miller, P.T. answered your questions about short-term and long-term side effects of breast surgery, and what you can do about them.
The materials presented in these conferences do not necessarily reflect the views of Breastcancer.org. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before using any therapeutic product or regimen discussed. All readers should verify all information and data before employing any therapies described here.

I'm new here, have deployed my first test server last week using the FOSS edition and I think Zimbra is a very good messaging solution!
Now, I have a problem here, have searched the forums, asked Google, but haven't found anything yet...
My server has a hostname as mail.example.org, so the automatically generated SSL certs have this FQDN as it's Common Name.
But it like to give this server other CNAME's in my DNS setup, things like imap.example.org, pop3.example.org and smtp.example.org.
But when I try this, my browser or mail client complains (obviously), as the cert CN is different from the name I'm using to access the server.
So, I'd like to know how I can create my SSL certs with all the names I want to give to my server.

Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Another half-court heave goes in
For the second time this season, a fan made the MidFirst half-court shot between the third and fourth quarters to win $20,000. It was the fifth fan half-court shot made in the Thunder's Oklahoma City history, and the second since 2011.
Sunday's shot was made by 24-year-old Justin Dougherty, a sports reporter for KOLR-TV in Springfield, Mo. His girlfriend, Sydney Friar, bought him tickets to the game for his birthday.
Dougherty pleaded for Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant to join him in celebration at midcourt. In a copycat move to what LeBron James did earlier this year after a fan made a half-court shot in Miami, Durant playfully tackled Dougherty.
"He called me out there and I am glad he made it," Durant said. "When it left his hands, it looked like it was short, but it went straight in. I was happy for him and then I turned around and he was calling me over. I had to run out there."
Portland reserve point guard Eric Maynor entered Sunday night's game against his former teammates with 3:34 left in the first quarter and received a warm ovation from the 102nd consecutive sellout crowd (18,203) at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Maynor played 25 minutes and finished with 10 points (2 for 4 on 3-pointers) and four assists in the Trail Blazers' 103-83 loss to OKC, which is now 3-0 against Portland this season.
"He does give them another dimension to their team," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said of Maynor. "He's a very good player. He's played well the three weeks or so that he's been with them. I think he's definitely one of the top backup point guards in the league."
Brooks played his final two seasons collegiately for the Cal-Irvine Anteaters. This year's teams was in attendance for Sunday's game.
The Anteaters (21-15) are participating in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and will play Oral Roberts (19-14) at 7 p.m. Monday at the Mabee Center in Tulsa. The winner plays at Weber State (28-6) on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
ORU advanced with an 84-76 first-round victory over Texas-Arlington last Wednesday, while the Anteaters beat High Point 80-71 in their first-round contest. This is UCI's first postseason tournament since the 2002 NIT.
UCI last played at the Mabee Center on Dec. 6, 1986, when Brooks led the Anteaters with 22 points in a 92-91 overtime victory.
Brooks returns each fall to host the UCI/Scott Brooks Golf Invitational that raises funds for UCI student-athlete scholarships.
The Thunder recalled guard DeAndre Liggins, forward Perry Jones III and center Daniel Orton from the Tulsa 66ers before Sunday's game. … The Thunder is now 22-2 at home against Western Conference teams and 31-5 at home overall. … Former Thunder scout David Vanterpool and Tulsa 66ers coach Dale Osbourne are assistants with the Blazers, who are coached by former Oklahoma standout Terry Stotts (1976-80). … OKC is now 11-8 all-time against Portland. … Thunder is now 15-1 when its opponent scores less than 90 points and 20-4 when it has more than 10 steals. … The OKC bench outscored the Blazers bench 34-21.
Maynor on his emotions returning to OKC: "It was just good to see all those guys. It felt good for the crowd to clap for me when I checked in and stuff like that. I had some good memories here. I wish we could have got a win, but other than that, it was cool."

I bought bicycles around half a year ago (before that I didn't ride bicycles for almost 25 years).
Anyways.... I use them mostly for commuting to the train station.
I have a very steep and long downhill (uphill on the way back) which wears my brake pads pretty good.
I don't want to replace my pads every 1-2 months (costly) but it is important to have them working.
I thought about various ways of minimizing wear. Taking an alternative route is not an option and trying to slow down with my feet isn't really helpful and also dangerous.
The only way I came up with it to use the rear brakes (which are pretty worn down by now). I am able to slow down with them enough to maintain proper speed. But to really stop I have to use the front brakes.
I figured I should always use the rear brakes for slowing down and the front brakes only when I really need to stop.
This way I can significantly extend the life of the front brakes which can bring me to a full stop when I really need them.
Was just thinking if there are any other tricks I may not be aware of.

Evangelical thriller is No. 1
Culture | Not just on Christian lists, but on the New York Times bestseller list
For the first time, a book from an evangelical publishing house opened at number one on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Crowding out Harry Potter, John Grisham, and the usual summer beach-reading titles, The Indwelling: The Beast Takes Possession by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, published by Tyndale House, took possession of the top spot for hardcover fiction in its very first week (see page 14 for nonfiction). This is an astounding accomplishment, since the prestigious New York Times list has always had a way of excluding evangelical titles.
The list is based not on actual sales figures, which have been almost impossible to gather, but on surveys of selected bookstores. In the past, these have consisted mostly of tony independent shops on the East Coast. Christian bookstores were not included. Today, the Times consults with Barnes & Noble and other big chains, so the rankings are far more accurate than they were in 1983 when Francis Schaeffer's How Shall We Then Live racked up far more sales than the Times' bestsellers, but was never so much as mentioned on the charts. Still, when a Christian title gets on the list, that shows a significant penetration into the secular marketplace.
The Indwelling is part seven of the Left Behind series, a projected 12-volume series on the end of the world. Essentially a dramatization of premillenialist eschatology, the books depict the Rapture, the anti-Christ as a one-world political dictator, 666 numerology, the conversion of the state of Israel, and all of the other elements of The Late Great Planet Earth--another huge seller in its day--rendered this time in fiction.
Christians who do not agree with Mr. LaHaye's theology will be dismayed that when a Christian title at long last breaks through into the secular culture, it is not a work of profound theology nor a literary masterpiece but a horror thriller.
Still, there is no denying that the series, capitalizing on turn-of-the-millennium speculation, has struck a chord. Since its publication on May 23, The Indwelling has sold more than 2 million copies. The Left Behind series, whose other titles have also made bestseller lists, has sold over 17 million copies in the United States.
In the new economy, nothing that makes money will be excluded. It is fashionable to lament the decline of independent bookstores and their "personalized service," but those bookstores and their owners were cultural gatekeepers who closed the gate on Christians. Today's mega-chains are willing to offer anything and everything. This means even more cultural junk, but it also gives Christians a more level playing field.
Christians participate in the marketplace of ideas not only as producers but as buyers, and the fact is, most Christians buy their books from secular bookstores rather than Christian bookstores.
This is becoming a major challenge for Christian bookstores, which attract a surprisingly small percentage of Christian readers. Studies show that most customers of Christian bookstores are women. All of the sentimental plaques, the cutesy figurines, and the plethora of books on "relationships" apparently give the majority of Christian men the creeps. The Left Behind books, though, with their apocalyptic violence and techno-thriller prose style, have a true macho appeal. Now that secular bookstores are stealing their customers and their market share, Christian booksellers-which still play an essential role-might do well to confront the feminization of their industry and learn from the big players how to offer more books to more Christians.
Though multitudes of Christians are buying The Indwelling from secular bookstores, non-Christians are buying it as well. The commercial success of the Left Behind series disproves the conventional wisdom about what it takes for a Christian work to cross over into the secular market. The assumption has often been that Christians need to soften their message to appeal to non-Christians, that the hard edges of the faith need to be toned down in order not to offend a larger audience.
Perhaps the Left Behind series offers a simplistic theology that can indeed be more palatable to a mass audience than the full complexities of the biblical teachings about sin, grace, Christ, and the Christian life. Still, to their credit, Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins are far from politically correct in what they say about sexual sin, political corruption, and false religions. They do not water down their message but give it to their readers full-strength, no matter how uncomfortable it may make them feel.
This even may be part of the appeal of the series. Today, after a century of trying to do without God, it is the weak, vacuous, modernized, doctrine-free Christianity that is unworthy of attention. People interested in religion want a real religion, hard edges and all. Christianity may do better in the marketplace of ideas when it is closest to the real thing. Perhaps The Indwelling will prove to be a lead blocker for better books to come.

Working with Each Other (Jeremiah 29:4-7)Dennis R. Wiles, October 6, 2013
Part of the Fruit of Our Labor - Theology of Work series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Dennis R. Wiles

October 6, 2013
Fruit of Our Labor
Theology of Work
Working with Each Other
Jeremiah 29:4-7
Text: Jeremiah 29:4-7
Psalm 137:1-6
Doctrine of Common Grace and the Common Good
How can God use you in the cause of the common good?
Shalom – "peace"
"The Hebrew word shalom means much, much more than the simple cessation of hostilities. Shalom is an exceedingly rich concept, a comprehensive word dealing with and covering all the relationships of daily life, expressing the ideal state of life in Israel and, indeed, the entire world. The concept of shalom essentially has to do with what the Israelites saw as being foundational to life – and that was being in sustained and sustaining community with each other."
-Robert C. Linthicum
God's people can be used to bring shalom to our world.
Our work allows us to contribute to the common good
Theology of Work
The God of the Bible is a God who works. He is the Creator of the universe and it is an expression of His will. He created human beings to bear His image and reflect His glory in creation. As image-bearers, we have been called to work as well. It is a part of our unique design. In order to fulfill God's desire for us to join Him in His work, He has given us the various gifts needed to accomplish this task. As we engage ourselves in the meaningful labor available to us, we develop a healthy independence from others. This independence does not separate us or isolate us from the community of believers in particular or the society at large. In fact, just the opposite occurs! We are able to assist those who are dependent because of our healthy independence. We also can employ our gifts and skills to enhance the common good for all people. We can live in interdependent relationships that are beneficial to both us and those around us.
-Dennis R. Wiles
Jeremiah 29:4-7
4 "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. (ESV)

DVD Review Lunchables
Dennis Landmann
This column is
dedicated to DVD reviews of various films and TV sets, except they
are shorter than my normal reviews.
I, Robot
(Fox Home Entertainment, 12/14/04, Rated PG-13)
a renowned scientist (James Cromwell) is found dead, robophobic
detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) suspects an advanced robot
committed the murder. According to the Three Laws of Robotics,
however, a robot can't harm a human. As Spooner investigates he
mysteriously finds himself marked for death, and later must team with
another scientist (Bridget Monahan) to bring down a possible robot
revolution against humans. I, Robot is a fun summer action film
set in a believable future (2035 Chicago), and to the credit of
director Alex Proyas (Dark City), director of photography Simon
Duggan, and the film's special effects team the film looks absolutely
terrific. The script is straight-forward in the way it presents the
main story, but there is a good amount of suspense as well. I,
Robot features several cool action scenes that are
visually very exciting.
Fox Home Entertainment
presents I, Robot in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Picture
quality and colors look very good. Detail and sharpness appear in good
shape, and no major flaws are present, though a little grain appears
in dark scenes. Audio is available in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround and
5.1 DTS, as well as Spanish and French dub tracks. Dialogue and sound
effects are clear and easy to understand with good surround
performance from the rear speakers. Optional subtitles include English
and Spanish.
The special features
include commentary by director Alex Proyas and screenwriter Akiva
Goldsman, a sixteen-minute "Making-of" featurette that is strictly
promotional in nature but shows a good amount of behind-the-scenes
footage including green screen work and special effects, a still photo
gallery, and trailer.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Garden State
(Fox Home Entertainment, 12/28/04, Rated R)
Zach Braff plays Andrew Largeman, a
twenty something, emotionally detached actor who returns home to New
Jersey after nine long years. Now, as he tries to re-reconnect with
his past, a chance encounter with Sam (Natalie Portman) - a
free-spirited girl who's everything he isn't - sets the stage for a
fateful, mind-blowing take on what his future might hold. Braff's
directorial debut shows a lot of promise but more importantly as a
writer he tells a heartfelt story with romance and clever humor. The
acting is also notable, with Braff and Portman sharing very good
chemistry and turning in excellent performances, plus co-star Peter Sarsgaard is great as Andrew's friend.
Garden State is funny and dramatic.
Fox Home Entertainment presents
Garden State in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Picture quality and
colors are pretty good, without any flaws such as scratches or dirt,
although bits of grain appear in some scenes. Audio is available in
5.1 Dolby Digital Surround as well as a Spanish dub track. Dialogue is
clear and easy to understand, while the music is very nicely
reproduced across the front speakers. Optional subtitles include
English, Spanish and French.
The special features include an
engaging audio commentary by Zach Braff and Natalie Portman, a second
commentary by Braff and various crew that is more technical, sixteen
deleted scenes with commentary, a roughly 25-minute "Making-of"
documentary that provides an insightful and fun look at filming with
on-set interviews and footage, and a brief but amusing blooper reel.
Grade: 8 out of 10
(Fox Home Entertainment, 12/7/04, Rated PG-13)
Dodgeball tells the story of
Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn) and his Average Joe Gym guys who must
compete against egomaniacal White Goodman (Ben Stiller) and GloboGym
in Las Vegas' national Dodgeball competition to raise the $50,000
needed to keep the place running. In true underdog story fashion,
Peter and the team train hard to become professionals, but first they
must survive the toughness of the sport. Dodgeball is pretty
much a no-brainer in terms of the story, it's predictable but fun to
watch as the characters face off, train, and compete against each
other. The characters are fun, too, and Stiller's over-the-top
performance is very comical, plus the film features some fun cameos.
Fox Home Entertainment presents
Dodgeball in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Picture quality and

no noticeable flaws in the presentation such as scratches or dirt.
Audio is available in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround as well as a Spanish
and French dub tracks. Dialogue is clear and easy to understand, while

Optional subtitles include English and Spanish.
The special features include a decent
audio commentary by director Rawson Marshall Thurber, and actors Ben
Stiller and Vince Vaughn who talk about aspects of the production but
mainly about the film itself, seven deleted scenes with optional
commentary (most are extended scenes and the alternate ending sees
Goodman's team win the 50k instead of the Average Joe's), four brief
featurettes (one focuses on the actors training for Dodgeball) with
interviews by the cast and others, a decent blooper reel (Stiller and
Vaughn crack up a lot), trailers for Dodgeball and other Fox titles,
and the film's screenplay via DVD-ROM.
Family Guy:
Freakin' Sweet...
(Fox, 12/14/04)
Family Guy tells the stories, or
exploits, depending on the kind of plot with each episode, of the
Griffin family, which is made up of husband Peter, wife Lois, daughter
Meg, son Chris, baby Stewie, and fun-loving dog Brian. Created by Seth
MacFarlane, the show ranks among one of my favorite animated shows
ever, it's hilarious, crude, and addicting just like South Park.
For "The Freakin' Sweet Collection," MacFarlane chose to include his
five favorite episodes: When You Wish Upon A Weinstein, Road
To Rhode Island, To Love And Die In Dixie, I Am Peter
Hear Me Roar, and Lethal Weapons. While these are not
necessarily the best episodes of Family Guy out there in my
opinion (it depends who you
ask), they're still very funny.
Fox Home Entertainment presents
Family Guy in 1.33:1
fullscreen format. Colors look good and the presentation is overall
quite nice. Audio is decent with clear dialogue presentation from the
front speakers. The special features include a hilarious in-character
audio commentary on Road To Rhode Island by Brian and Stewie.
Both engage in frivolous discussions about the show's shoot, their
dislikes about various things (they insult each other from time to
time), and much more, such as acknowledging towards the end they are
running out of material.
Carried over from the season sets are
commentaries for the other episodes except for Weinstein, which
is rather odd. The material exclusive to this DVD is a new interview
with Seth MacFarlane as he discusses his new show American Dad.
The following featurettes are available: funny clips for American
Dad (5:57) that will make you excited about the premiere, "Seth
MacFarlane Talks About American Dad" (7:23) which repeats the
clips cut to his comments, and "Family Guy Season 4" (15:27) in which he
lists the reasons for picking the five episodes and towards the end a
few clips from the upcoming season are shown.

Re: Great Nevada Week.

Most of the Casino's paid little attention to green action in Laughlin.
Please Keep in mind I play mostly single deck.
Riverside had a lot of red chipper or less players so there is a lot of attenion on any one playing green.
The Clolorada Belle didn't seem to worry about green chippers and penitration was nice. I had a lot of success there.
Ramada was the same across the street but usually just one table for single deck and it was crowded most of the time.
Pioneer was more concerned over there dealers laying out a fair game. One dealer there told me that he was watched closer by management then any place he had ever worked. Penetration there was never that good when I was playing though so winning with green was not a factor. They had one single deck table with a 15 dollar minimum . Just one or two player playing all of the time.
The Nugget kept a eye on every one. Even a couple nickle chippers received heat.
Down at Avi the Indian Casino they did not worry to much about green so log as you were note spreading to much.
At Hilton Flamingo, your best bet for geen was the non smoking tables. Spread what you like with green and a nice game. Lots of high rollers there so green anything was common and exspected.

That's pretty much it.
The Rag has a poll for your favorite ISU-Iowa basketball moment. Right now the LaFester game leads with 64% followed by Fizer's "Eustachy #1" sign with about 18%. Iowa's NIT win is 3rd and the first game in many years is 4th.
My favorite moment is John Neal knocking down those two threes. The place was going nuts.
My second favorite is the game in '99 when Fizer got up on the scorer's table. Most of my favorite memories of that team are from later in the year plus I was way up in the balcony for that game.
I've only been to three of these games in person so I don't have a large selection to choose from. Anybody have any other good ones?
The John Neal game sticks out in my mind too because it is the freshest. Watching Haluska slop all over the floor last year was fun, too. Beating them in Carver-Hawkeye in 02-03 with Sullivan was also good.
Hell, it's always fun beating the Hawks.
The title of the thread says it all.
Fester was the best ever. I was in shock. Everyshot was like "don't shoot iiiii" O.k. it went in.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Watching Clint Varley was something like out of Rudy. he he
Also, I met a lot of Iowa State fans and I dont want to leave any of that behind. - DARIUS DARKS on Staying a CLONE!!!
Matt (00 Alumn)
Waukee, Iowa
Rhodes schooled 'em! That was by far the best ever.
i dont care what game, anytime we beat them is the best game i've ever seen
To be truthful, as I think back on it, I can't think of a whole lot of ISU- Iowa games that were that huge. I can think of a lot of bigger wins and bigger games for Iowa State. The Lafester game is the only one that really sticks out above the rest, as that was an epic performance in a tight game. Other than that, I'll take the Kansas wins anytime.
Not only was the Lafester (54 pts.) game the best Iowa State vs. Iowa game I have ever seen, it is the best game I have ever seen in person ! It was a double overtime victory 102-100 by the Cyclones !
Yeah, beating the Hawks is fun, but, man, beating the Jayhawks in Fog Allen is TOPS!

This was a great game!! I also graduated on the day this game happened...I always said it was ISU's graduation gift to me!
I sat about 20 feet away from the ISU bench and you were not the only one yelling "don't shoot"...Johnny Orr was too! If I recall correctly, Lafester made a shot from about 1/2 court as the buzzer sounded for halftime. He was absolutely unconscious for the entire game!
One other quick tidbit...Jesse Jackson (who was running for President at the time) was in the crowd and was all over Lafester after the game trying to get his mug in the spotlight.
I also vividly remember a 76-72 win in the mid 80's (which may have been in overtime as well). I recall a couple of back door alley-oops to Terence Allen that sealed that one...Hilton was very loud that game.
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
I really liked beating AC Earl. With all of Hilton chanting AC, Ugly...AC, Ugly. And great signs that make TV like "call 1-800-HAIR-CUT"
Good Times
The John Neal game was my favorite. I got a seat in the parquet behind the basket, in the corner of the Iowa locker room. I gave the players and coaches an earful that night... and I have a voice that carries, so I know they heard me :)
Also it was great seeing the guys show up in prison uniforms with the "Pierce, Pierre" signs around their necks.

C'mon Fred! When I was a freshman at ISU, you and I watched my all-time favorite Cyclone hoopster, Barry Stevens, lead ISU to victory over the Golden Gophers of Minnesota featuring future NBA'ers Trent Tucker and Randy Brewer. I'll never forget David Moss beating the 7'3" Brewer on the tip-off to begin the second over-time; Hilton was hopping that night! If the ISU / iowa game was #1 for you, this one had to be #1B!
As for the "Lafester game", that's the night I knew my girlfriend was to become my wife. I accompanied her to her work Xmas party at a Sushi restaurant rather than go downtown Chicago with my buds to watch the game. Back in those days, the only way to get game updates was to call an 800 telephone number from a payphone in the restaurant lobby! It was just killing me, but sixteen years of marriage and three kids later, I'm thinking I made the right decision!
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain

Good Times
My daughter was at a basketball camp with Acie's fifth grade daughter earlier this week. My wife came home from picking the daughter up and asked who he was! He's still not a handsome man...
Similar memory, I believe from 1983 or 1984. We arrived very early for an ISU / hawkeye game at Hilton to get prime balcony seats at mid-court. The place was pretty empty and EIU was doing their shoot-around. This kid from SEMCO named Mike ? walks up to the railing and yells in a voice that could be heard throughout, "Carfino, you suck!". Steve Carfino is mid-stroke from the top of the key and he stops and peers up at us with the funniest look on his face, which left us rolling. That set the tone for the day as our section rode him mercilessly in a fine ISU victory!

Outlook No. (WHS-05K01) 29 pp, December 2005
U.S. wheat plantings are about 30 percent lower than in the early 1980s. Wheat demand fell with changing consumer preferences and strong competition in export markets. Low returns led to the substitution of competing crops for wheat, particularly on the Plains. Farms depending on wheat sales for over half of their receipts have much lower farm incomes and financial assets compared with other farms producing wheat.

Hey, Toronto! Classic Nikkatsu Action Flick A COLT IS MY PASSPORT Screens For Free This Saturday At 10pm!
Okay, Toronto, you have no excuses. We're nearing the end of the Twitch curated Tokyo Drifters: 100 Years Of Nikkatsu retrospective at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and we're going out in style! Classic title A Colt Is My Passport - a huge personal favorite - is this week's selection, screening on 35mm Saturday at 10pm and the screening is free. Yes, completely free. No contests, no nothing, just come on out and get a brilliant piece of stylish crime cinema for free thanks to the Bell Free Weekend happening this week at the Lightbox. Which, yes, does mean that you can park yourself in the Lightbox and see a whole lot of stuff for free, but this is the one you should prioritize.
Find all the details here and come on out!A riotous fusion of styles that combines elements of the French New Wave, spaghetti westerns and Hollywood films noirs, the awesomely titled A Colt Is My Passport is an enormously entertaining minor classic. The ubiquitous Joe Shishido is a hard-boiled hired killer commissioned by a local gang to take down a rival boss. He pulls the job off with his customary efficiency, but everything goes to hell anyway: his employers are unhappy with his methods, while his victim's cronies, thirsty for revenge, trace the job back to him, forcing the taciturn triggerman and his guitar-strumming sidekick to try and shoot their way out of town. Featuring a fantastic final showdown in a barren, wind-whipped desert wasteland, A Colt Is My Passport is "a hot, blistering belch of action savagery and truck-stop heartbreak!" (Chuck Stephens).

Funded by the UMass Memorial Medical Center and the Allstate Foundation, a new simulator, meant to demonstrate the perils of texting while driving, is making the rounds of Massachusetts high schools.
Teen D.R.I.V.E (Distracted Reality an Interactive Virtual Education) is a pretty snazzy looking simulator, which ends with a "patient's-eye view" from a stretcher after a crash and an appearance before a judge to receive penalties, which go into effect in Massachusetts today.
If you're allergic to clichés, please skim past the following quote from Allstate Foundation spokesman Chris Connor, who stated, "This is an opportunity to realistically engage teens in a manner they understand – video games, a simulation."
He continued:
Except at the end of a video game, there is no consequence. In real life, there is no game over. There is no inserting a quarter to continue. This is real life, and in real life there is no opportunity to press the reset button.
Violators of the law face an initial fine of $100 and repeated offenses will result in increased fines. Sixteen and seventeen year old drivers who text while driving can lose their license for 60 days.
Recent research from the U.S. Highway Loss Data Institute indicates, however, that bans on texting while driving may actually increase accidents. As the Register explains, "In other words, drivers who allow themselves to be distracted are going to become distracted anyway, anti-texting and anti–mobile phone laws or no anti-texting and anti–mobile phone laws."
The Reg added that such laws are "currently popular ways for US politicians to prove to their constituents that they're Doing Something."

Gay Rights and Abuse
Does the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (LBGT) community have the same rights as the rest of society when it comes to things like family, religion, crime? This is a highly sensitive subject no matter which side people are on. Many LBGT people want to have families and live their life just like anyone else. But there are those that have a fear of things that are unknown or different from them. This often leads to what is considered hate crimes.
On October 12, 1998 just after midnight twenty one year old Matthew Shepard died in a hospital in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Six days earlier he was attacked and beaten. It was later determined that he was targeted because of his sexual orientation ("Matthew").
Matthew grew up in Casper Wyoming. He was a normal boy described by his father as an optimistic and accepting young man who had the special gift of being able to relate to almost everyone. Matthew was said to be the type of person who was very approachable and always looked for new challenges. He had a great passion for equality and always stood up for the acceptance of people's rights ("Matthew").
Shortly after midnight on October 7, 1998 Matthew met two men, Aaron McKinley and Russell Henderson, at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. It was determined that they would give Matthew a ride home. Instead they drove to a remote area where they robbed, pistol-wiped and tortured him. In the end they tied him to a fence and left him to die. Eighteen hours later he was discovered by a man riding his bike. The man originally thought that he was a scarecrow. ("Gay")
He was in a coma and had suffered fractures to the back of his head and in the front of his right ear. He experienced severe damage to the brain-stem, which affected the ability of his body to regulate his heart rate, body temperature, and other vital functions. In addition there were several small lacerations around his face and neck. The doctors deemed his injuries to be too severe to operate. He never regained consciousness and remained on full life support until his death ("Gay").
In another case, Tyler Doustou, a happy two year old boy, enjoyed playing with his parents like any other child. The fact that his parents were both woman living in a lesbian relationship didn't mean anything to him. He loved them just like any other child loves his parents. Then one day in 1993 his maternal grandmother, Kay Bottoms, sued for custody of Tyler, because her daughter was gay, she was an unfit parent. Does being Gay make you an unfit parent? (Roleff).
The case was heard by Court Judge Buford M. Parsons Jr. After hearing both sides Judge Parsons ruled that the actions of Sharon Bottoms were criminal due to the fact that she was lesbian, and was living with another woman, in a lesbian relationship. Also because of the fact that she admitted to the court that she was living in a homosexual relationship, she was in violation of Virginia's sodomy law, custody was given to his grandmother, Kay Bottoms. Sharron was allowed to see her son two times a week, but Tyler was not allowed to visit his mothers' house or to have any contact with April Wade, his mother's partner (Roleff).
Sharron appealed the court's decision. A three judge panel ruled that being lesbian and engaging in "illegal" sexual acts is not a valid reason to take a child away from its parent and give it to a nonparent (Roleff).
Kay Bottoms appealed the ruling of the courts to the Virginia Supreme Court. On April 21, 1995 in a 4-3 decision, the court again ruled that Sharron was an unfit mother because of her homosexual relationship. Stating that it would bring Tyler "social condemnation" (as said by the courts), " it was also said that living daily under conditions stemming from active lesbianism practiced in the home will inevitability affect the child's relationship with its peers and the community." (Roleff)
These are just a couple of examples of how the LGBT community has been treated because of the life they live. These stories may be older but they have been some of the influential. Even though the information for updated cases was not easily available. The fact is things like this are still taking place. As stated in the beginning this is a highly sensitive subject. No matter which side people are on, one thing is certain people should be able to live without fear. No one opinion is totally correct and everyone should consider one thing. In our founding documents it is said that all men are created equal, and have certain rights, and those rights should be preserved; not just for a few citizens but for all. The US should not, whether in civil court, family court or criminal court is able to discriminate against any one, no matter what the personal beliefs of any one person in the case may be.
Does the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (LBGT) community have the same rights as the rest of society when it comes to things like family, religion, crime? This is a highly sensitive subject no matter which side you are on. Many LBGT people want to have families and live their life just like anyone else. But there are those that have a fear of things that are unknown or different from them. Which often lead to what is considered hate crimes.
Remember that girl in the corner? The one named Sarah? The one who had her head down and never made a sound, too scared to look her class mates in the eyes? Remember the boy who was pushed down the stairs by the older kids and got called a gay fag? The one called John? Remember the girl who cried in the bathroom because she liked other girls? The one named Lucy? Remember all of the teasing that went on, all of the hateful words, all of the pointing and laughing?
Now Sarah carves into her arm, trying to tell herself she isn't bi. Now John is so bruised, he can't feel anymore and now, Lucy holds a gun against her forehead, a note on her desk. One little pull and her body falls to the ground. One little pull and Lucy is no longer.
What her note reads: "Why? Why did you have to be so cruel? Why? How could you kill someone like this? You slowly killed me on the inside, now I'm doing the job on the outside. You are so cruel to your own kind, you are so blind. I never liked guys, guess that means I have to say good bye." (Galloway)
