Tulsa, Oklahoma
Tulsa is the second-largest city in the state of Oklahoma and 45th-largest city in the United States.
Once heavily dependent on the oil industry, economic downturn and subsequent diversification efforts created an economic base in the energy, finance, aviation, telecommunications and technology sectors. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa, at the head of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, is the most inland river port in the U.S. with access to international waterways. Two institutions of higher education within the city operate at the NCAA Division I level, Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa.

— In a 2004 document, executives said they would poll investors as part of the process for choosing a rating. One executive asked, "Does this mean we are to review our proposed criteria changes with investors, issuers and investment bankers? ... (W)e NEVER poll them as to content or acceptability!" The executive's concerns were ignored, the government said.
— Also that year, an analyst complained that S&P had lost a deal because its standards for a rating were stricter than Moody's. "We need to address this now in preparation for the future deals," the analyst wrote.
The lawsuit comes just 18 months after S&P cut its rating on long-term U.S. government debt by a notch. The downgrade followed a contentious debate between the White House and Congress over the raising of the government's borrowing limit that was resolved at the last hour.
Holder was asked about a possible link between the lawsuit and the downgrade.
"There's no connection," Holder said, who added the department's investigation began in 2009.
At the news conference, acting Associate Attorney General Tony West said documents "make clear that the company regularly would 'tweak,' 'bend,' delay updating or otherwise adjust its ratings models to suit the company's business needs." He said that in 2007, S&P issued ratings it "knew were inflated at the time they issued them."
S&P countered that the emails were "cherry picked," that they were "taken out of context, are contradicted by other evidence, and do not reflect our culture, integrity or how we do business."
It said the government left out important context. For example, one email that says deals "could be structured by cows" and then rated by S&P was unrelated to the types of investments at issue in the government's lawsuit, S&P said. It said the analyst's concerns were addressed before a rating was issued.
The lawsuit alleges that S&P knew the subprime mortgage market was collapsing by 2006, yet it didn't issue a mass downgrade of subprime-backed securities until mid- 2007. The mortgages were performing so poorly "that analysts initially thought the data contained typographical errors," according to one document cited in the lawsuit.
In a 2007 email, another analyst said some at S&P wanted to downgrade mortgage investments earlier, "before this thing started blowing up. But the leadership was concerned of p(asterisk)ssing off too many clients and jumping the gun ahead of Fitch and Moody's."
The government's case sides with critics of rating agencies who have long argued that the agencies suffer from a conflict of interest. Because they're paid by the banks that create investments they're rating, the agencies had to compete for banks' business. If one agency appeared too strict, banks could shop around for a better rating.
S&P typically charged $150,000 for rating a subprime mortgage-backed security and $750,000 for certain other securities. If S&P lost the business to Fitch or Moody's, its main competitors, the analyst who issued the rating would have to submit a "lost deal" memo explaining why he or she lost the business.
The government charged S&P under a law intended to make sure banks invest safely. If S&P is found to have committed civil violations, it could face not only fines but also limits on how it does business. There are no criminal charges, which would require a higher burden of proof.
McGraw-Hill shares dropped $2.72, or 5.4 percent, to $47.58 in morning trading Tuesday after plunging nearly 14 percent on Monday after the lawsuit was first reported.
Shares of Moody's Corp., the parent of Moody's Investors Service, another rating agency, lost $1.05, or 2.2 percent, to $48.40 in morning trading Tuesday after closing down nearly 11 percent on Monday.

Today's interview is with authors, Tom Listul and Heather Listul Hewitt. They are father and daughter, but they are also co-authors of the children's book, Monkey Made Dream.
Tom wrote Monkey Made Dream with his daughter, Heather, when she was eight years old. A farmer from southwest Minnesota, he is also a singer/songwriter. Listul made Monkey Made Dream into a children's song and has sang it at numerous coffee houses and children's classrooms.
Hewitt is now a school speech-language pathologist, who works with students of all ages. She enjoys helping children develop literacy skills and a love for reading.
Could you tell us a little about yourself?
Tom: I was born and raised in southwestern MN. I am a farmer by trade, but have also been a musician all of my life. I started writing songs around the age of 15 and have had some songs published in the past. Our book, Monkey Made Dream, came from a song that my daughter and I wrote when she was about 8 years old. I saved the song and developed it into a children's book. My daughter got married this summer, so I gave it to her as a present for Christmas.
Heather: I'm the daughter, and I was thrilled to see a finished copy of Monkey Made Dream! Writing the book with my dad is a great memory for me. I am a school speech-language pathologist, and I work with students of all ages. I love reading and writing, and I enjoy sharing my excitement with my students.
Could you describe your desk/workspace?
Tom: I have a music studio where I can get away and spend time working on different things. My desk is crammed with a lot of projects that I'm working on. When I am writing I try to keep my focus so I might clear an area just so I am not distracted by anything. Lately, I grab my laptop and go somewhere.
Do you have a favorite quote?
Tom: I don't remember from where or who from, but I just remember two that I like – 'the glass is half full' and 'treat people as you would want to be treated.' So, I try to remember that throughout this process called life.
Heather: I like the Bible verse from Jeremiah 29: "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
If you could have coffee with anyone (living or dead, real or fictional), who would it be and why?
Tom: Musically, I would love to have coffee with Paul McCartney. I would like to hear what process the Beatles used to create such a great body of songs. I also like history, so I think having coffee with George Washington – Abraham Lincoln would be fantastic.
Heather: I would like to talk to Oprah Winfrey and hear her story in person.
What are your top three favorite books and why?
Tom: I like history so – Lewis and Clark Expedition – Life of John Lennon – Eric Clapton
Heather: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton - I really enjoyed the story in high school. Where is the Mango Princess? by Cathy Crimmins - A great story about a person surviving a traumatic brain injury. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom – Neat story, that is really well written.
What was your favorite book as a child and why?
Tom: I was a big Hardy Boys fan.
Heather: I enjoyed Jan Brett books when I was younger, because of the illustrations and creative stories.
What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?
Tom: Sometimes I write in strange places, - on a tractor, at a meeting, on a combine during harvest.
Heather: I have not been able to write as much as I would have liked the past few year, because I was working on my Master's degree, but I have to read what I write aloud to myself a few times so I can decide if I like it.
What are your current marketing strategies for Monkey Made Dream?
Tom: We self published our book because we wanted to have a say in how things should proceed. As of now, our book is on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Book World, Trafford Publishing and other web sites. Facebook is playing a role in getting our story out to the public. World of Ink Tour has been an outlet for showcasing our book with positive reviews. On the local level, we are having a book signing day in two local towns. We have had local advertising in our newspaper and we will be placing Monkey Made Dream in stores in the surrounding area.
Could you share about any current writing projects?
Tom: I have songs that are being pitched to artists and record companies. I am also coming up with new ideas for another children's book.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Tom: This is a new experience for us, so I don't feel qualified to give advice. All I know is that writing has become an outlet for me. I think that putting down an idea on paper and watching it take on its own identity is something special. Now I am beginning to understand why there are so many books in the book store.
Heather: Enjoy the writing process!
I'd like to thank you both for a great interview!

Newt Gingrich in Tampa: I'm tired of being lectured about supporting every other religion
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Tomorrowâs presidential preference primary could decide the eventual GOP nomination. Frontrunners Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are aggressively campaigning for a victory in Florida. Gingrich made a stop in Tampa this afternoon at the Tampa Jet Center where he told supporters he has run a cleaner and more deserving campaign than Romney.
âRomney then decided that the only way to stop me was a three and a half million dollar negative campaign in Iowa. We then came back from that and beat him in South Carolina decisively. The New York Times has now reported that the Sunday morning after we won South Carolina the Romney team got together and said, âlook, we either destroy Gingrich or we canât winâ so theyâve now spent seventeen and a half million dollars on falsehoods.â
Gingrich said if he wins the Republican Party nomination he will make it a priority to repeal the Affordable Care Act and work to ensure a Republican majority in both the U.S. House and Senate. He added he wants to ensure religions he recognizes are supported.
âGovernor Romney imposed on the Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts a position against their conscience. Governor Romney cut off kosher meals for Jewish senior citizens who are on Medicaid to save $5 a day. For $5 a day he said, âno, you canât follow your religious prescriptionâ. Now, I think we need to have a government that respects our religions. Iâm a little bit tired of being lectured about every other religion on the planet. Iâd like him to respect our religion.â
Gingrich also talked about how he is a more conservative candidate that Mitt Romney. He compared Romneyâs healthcare plan to Obamaâs and said there are few differences between them. Gingrich also told supporters at the rally that the last two times the Republican nomination went to a moderate they were defeated.

The Italian American Table
Food, Family, and Community in New York City
The invention of Italian food culture in America
Looking at the historic Italian American community of East Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, Simone Cinotto recreates the bustling world of Italian life in New York City and demonstrates how food was at the center of the lives of immigrants and their children. From generational conflicts resolved around the family table to a vibrant food-based economy of ethnic producers, importers, and restaurateurs, food was essential to the creation of an Italian American identity. Italian American foods offered not only sustenance but also powerful narratives of community and difference, tradition and innovation as immigrants made their way through a city divided by class conflict, ethnic hostility, and racialized inequalities.
Drawing on a vast array of resources including fascinating, rarely explored primary documents and fresh approaches in the study of consumer culture, Cinotto argues that Italian immigrants created a distinctive culture of food as a symbolic response to the needs of immigrant life, from the struggle for personal and group identity to the pursuit of social and economic power. For generations of Neapolitan, Sicilian, and Calabrese immigrants in New York, Italian American cuisine was much more than a remnant of the home country; Cinotto shows, in vibrant detail, how the Italian American table we now celebrate emerged as the outcome of years of selective incorporations of cultural fragments, resources, and meanings available to the immigrant community. Adding a transnational dimension to the study of Italian American foodways, Cinotto recasts Italian American food culture as an American "invention" resonant with traces of tradition and shows how generations of creative, ambitious improvisers in tenement kitchens and behind restaurant stoves cooked, ate, and shared the foods that helped them make their way into American culture.
"Insightful, pathbreaking research. . . . a new perspective on the linkage between food and family. Recommended."--Choice
"Written with passion and clarity, The Italian American Table represents a stunning achievement. While tackling an irresistible topic--the meaning of food in the lives of Italian immigrants and their children--Simone Cinotto has managed to write a book that should please a wide range of interdisciplinary scholars and readers."--The Journal of American History
"Interesting insight on the culinary history of the Italian diaspora. The book introduces wider reflections on the role of food production, preparation, and consumption in immigrant communities, a theme that is as urgent today as it was in the past century."--Gastronomica
"Full of rich analysis and insights, this first book-length scholarly study of Italian immigrant foodways in the United States offers an explanation for why and how food became so closely attached to the creation of Italian American ethnic identities. A convincing and significant contribution."--Donna Gabaccia, author of We Are What We Eat: Ethnic Food and the Making of Americans
"With rich descriptive detail that is fascinating and engagingly presented, The Italian American Table advances our understanding not only of Italians' migration experiences but of immigrants in general. Simone Cinotto uncovers a treasure trove of data from various historical sources and weaves it together into a clear and compelling narrative."--Carole M. Counihan, author of Around the Tuscan Table: Food, Family, and Gender in Twentieth-Century Florence

The human body is the entire physical and mental structure of a human organism.
The human body consists of a head, neck, torso, two arms and two legs.
By the time the human reaches adulthood, the body consists of close to 100 trillion (100,000,000,000,000) cells, the basic unit of life. Groups of cells combine and work in tandem to form tissue, which combines to form organs, which work together to form organ systems.
The proportions of human body is different from that of animal body. In art, these ratios are used in veristic depictions of the figure.
The human musculoskeletal system consists of the human skeleton, made by bones attached to other bones with joints, and skeletal muscle attached to the skeleton by tendons.
The cardiovascular system comprises of the heart, veins, arteries, and capillaries. The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood, and through the blood, oxygen and vital minerals, to the tissues and organs that comprise the body. The main organ of the cardiovascular system, the heart, is generally located in the middle of the thorax. The left side (the left ventricle and left atrium) is responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body, while the right side (right ventricle and right atrium pumps only to the lungs.
The heart itself is divided into three layers called the endocardium, myocardium and epicardium, which vary in thickness and function.
Human reproduction takes place as internal fertilization by sexual intercourse. During this process, the erect penis of the male is inserted into the female's vagina until the male ejaculates semen, which contains sperm, into the female's vagina. The sperm then travels through the vagina and cervix into the uterus or fallopian tubes for fertilization of the ovum.
The human male reproductive system is a series of organs located outside of the body and around the pelvic region of a male that contribute towards the reproductive process. The primary direct function of the male reproductive system is to provide the male gamete or spermatozoa for fertilization of the ovum.
The major reproductive organs of the male can be grouped into three categories. The first category is sperm production and storage. Production takes place in the testes which are housed in the temperature regulating scrotum, immature sperm then travel to the epididymis for development and storage. The second category are the ejaculatory fluid producing glands which include the seminal vesicles, prostate, and the vas deferens. The final category are those used for copulation, and deposition of the spermatozoa (sperm) within the female, these include the penis, urethra, vas deferens, and Cowper's gland.
The human female reproductive system is a series of organs primarily located inside of the body and around the pelvic region of a female that contribute towards the reproductive process. The human female reproductive system contains three main parts: the vagina, which acts as the receptacle for the male's sperm, the uterus, which holds the developing fetus, and the ovaries, which produce the female's ova. The breasts are also an important reproductive organ during the parenting stage of reproduction.
The vagina meets the outside at the vulva, which also includes the labia, clitoris and urethra; during intercourse this area is lubricated by mucus secreted by the Bartholin's glands. The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while the uterus is attached to the ovaries via the fallopian tubes. At certain intervals, typically approximately every 28 days, the ovaries release an ovum, which passes through the fallopian tube into the uterus. The lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, and unfertilized ova are shed each cycle through a process known as menstruation.

2014 Growth Forecast Reduced As Headwinds Strengthen After strong growth, the Indonesian economy has entered a difficult patch. A flight away from the rupiah and toward US dollar assets has combined with a widening current account deficit (4.4% of GDP in the second quarter) and continuing concerns over inflation (running at around 8.6% in the third quarter) to cause a degree of uncertainty. In this context Bank Indonesia has had to adapt a tightening stance on monetary policy, pushing up the benchmark interest rate in various steps since mid-2013. In August, the government announced a stimulus package offering tax cuts for labour intensive and commodity export sectors. Adding to the overall picture Indonesia is entering an electoral period, with legislative

Can anyone confirm if there is the option to change language within the Italian ROM? Then we could all install this debranded ROM. The ROM's issued by the carriers only have 1 language available but wondered if this option is available in a generic ROM.
As stepw said there are no debranded (generic). In that case there only "Orange" roms (from different countries) are available, so if you want english language you have to download rom from Orange UK, etc.
If you can find any debranded phone (from new) all you need is its IMEI. Then you can download debranded rom from Toshiba website.

Could there be another new Queen release on the way with Freddie Mercury on vocals?
Possibly, according to guitarist Brian May!
Following the promise of a set of never-before-heard Freddie Mercury/Michael Jackson duets, May has revealed to Mojo Magazine (via The Guardian) that he and his Queen bandmates have discovered even more unused material featuring the iconic voice of their late frontman.
"There's more in there than we thought, in the Queen source archive," May explained to Mojo. "I'm a little nervous of saying there's an album there, but there's certainly a few tracks ...We've found some Freddie vocals, some demos."
May hinted at more or less the same thing during a September chat with iHeartRadio, during which he stated, "We thought we'd exhausted everything that was around and could be worked on but since then a number of things have come to light from various sources that we'd just plain forgotten about, including stuff with Freddie and Michael Jackson and there's quite a few other things."
In the iHeart interview, with guitarist also compared such a release to Queen's 1995 album, Made In Heaven, in which the band used vocal parts that Mercury had recorded before his death in 1991, combined with newly recorded parts from May, John Deacon (bass) and Roger Taylor (drums).
Meanwhile, Roger Taylor told Classic Rock Magazine last month that the Mercury/Jackson duets were completed and the band was just waiting for the "go-ahead" to release them.
Would you want to hear another Made In Heaven-type installment from Queen? Let us know in the comments section below and head to TheGuardian.com to read more.

Soka Gakkai Japan Youth Delegation Visits China for Friendship Exchange
From May 21-31, a group of 20 Soka Gakkai youth members from Japan visited China for a friendship exchange hosted by the All-China Youth Federation (ACYF), continuing a tradition of exchange that began in 1979. The visit commemorated the 40th anniversary of SGI President Daisaku Ikeda's first visit to China in May 1974.
The exchange was also part of the youth-led SOKA Global Action peace initiative launched in January 2014, one of the aims of which is to develop ties of friendship within Asia.
The delegation was led by Soka Gakkai youth division leader Taro Hashimoto and young women's leader Yuki Yoshii. It included representatives from the youth division's international group, doctors' and nurses' groups, arts group and academic division. During the visit, an agreement was signed as a commitment to a further ten years of friendship exchanges between Soka Gakkai youth from Japan and the ACYF.
This year the group visited the cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou as well as Hong Kong. In Beijing, on May 25, the youth laid flowers in remembrance of the war dead at the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and reconfirmed their determination to work toward peace.
On May 26, the youth attended a ceremony at the Chinese Culture Promotion Society (CCPS) where the title Honorary International Chairperson was awarded to SGI President Ikeda in recognition of his efforts to promote friendship and understanding through cultural exchange. CCPS Chairman Gao Zhanxiang was present at the ceremony. In 2012, Mr. Gao and Mr. Ikeda published a dialogue titled Chikyu o Musubu Bunka-ryoku (The Unifying Power of Culture).
At the Great Hall of the People, the youth delegation met with Cao Weizhou, Deputy Secretary of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee and Vice Chairperson of the NPC Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr. Ikeda and Mr. Cao met in Tokyo in April 1999 when Mr. Cao led an ACYF delegation of youth from China on a similar exchange.
Mr. Cao presented the Soka Gakkai youth delegation with two Chinese poems for Mr. Ikeda in which he expressed his desire that the friendship between the youth of ACYF and Soka Gakkai Japan continue to deepen. He commented that the ongoing exchanges are similar to repeatedly dying something in indigo and thereby producing a blue even richer and deeper than the indigo plant itself.
On May 27, the youth visited Nankai University in Tianjin and held a forum with its Zhou Enlai and Daisaku Ikeda Research Group on the importance of exchanges between the peoples of China and Japan. The forum marked the upcoming 40th anniversary of the SGI President's meeting with former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai on December 5, 1974, during his second visit to China.
In Guangzhou, on May 29, the youth delegation joined another forum with some 30 scholars from Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences at which they discussed the 40-year history of Mr. Ikeda's promotion of programs of cultural and educational exchange as a means of furthering mutual understanding and peace between China and Japan.
On May 30, the delegation visited Hong Kong and held exchange meetings with SGI-Hong Kong (HKSGI) and SGI-Macau youth members, where participants expressed their determination to take action toward world peace together with youth around the world.

The University of Northern Iowa softball team wrapped up its three-game series with the Purple Aces of Evansville on Sunday. Coming off of a pair of wins in Saturday's doubleheader with the Purple Aces, UNI entered the game with a 16-9 record on the season and 2-0 in the Missouri Valley conference.
Sophomore Jamie Fisher took the rubber this afternoon getting off to a shaky start but quickly settled in. Fisher entered the matchup with a 7-1 record, coming off a win against the Purple Aces Saturday afternoon in game one.
At the plate the Panthers had a tough time getting the bats going early on. After going three up, three down in the first two innings freshmen Julia Hunter got the Panthers on base after taking a walk in the third. With Hunter on first, shortstop Mackenzie Daigh stepped into the box delivering a double to left-center field which allowed Hunter to display her speed making it around the bases beating the throw to the plate which also allowed Daigh to advance to third. Unable to put together any further runs the Panthers had to rely on their defense to win this game with the one-run advantage.
With a 1-0 lead entering the fourth Fisher went back to the circle with a slight cushion to work off of as she kept the Purple Aces off the board. Fisher tossed a complete game, allowing just three hits, no runs, and struck out seven on the way to her eighth win of the season. Fisher improved to 8-1 on the season while the Panthers improved to 17-9 overall and 3-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
UNI will see action again next weekend when they travel to Terre Haute, Ind., to take on the Sycamores of Indiana State.

The captain of the Costa Concordia Francesco Schettino leaves the Moderno Theatre after a pre-trial hearing for the cruise liner Costa Concordia disaster in Grosseto October 15, 2012. (REUTERS/Giampiero Sposito)
GROSSETO, Italy: The captain blamed for the Costa Concordia cruise liner disaster off the Italian coast that killed 32 people in January shook hands with survivors and apologised on Monday at a court hearing which will decide whether the case goes to a full trial.
Francesco Schettino appeared relaxed and spoke often to his legal team, the lawyer representing 80 U.S. survivors and family members said.
The 114,500 tonne luxury cruise ship capsized on Jan. 13 after approaching the Tuscan island of Giglio to perform a manoeuvre close to the shore known as a salute. It struck a rock which tore a gash in its hull.
Schettino has admitted he made mistakes but has accused the company of mishandling the response. He said last week he was suing Costa Cruises, a unit of Carnival Corp., for unfair dismissal following the accident.
His lawyer Francesco Pepe said the hearing would show his client was not solely responsible for the disaster.
"Schettino's responsibility needs to be established and it needs to be established that others may have contributed as well," he said after the conclusion of the hearing's first day.
"Schettino is very confident because the real pattern of responsibility is beginning to emerge," he said.
Held up to ridicule in Italy and abroad since the disaster, Schettino faces charges of multiple manslaughter and abandoning ship during a chaotic night-time evacuation of 4,200 passengers and crew. Two bodies have still not been recovered. The ship is still sitting half-submerged on a rocky shelf off the island.
It was the first such hearing Schettino had attended.
Luciano Castro, an Italian survivor at the hearing in a theatre in the central town of Grosseto, said Schettino appeared "embarrassed" when they spoke briefly.
"The only thing he said was when I told him that I hope that the truth will soon be established, he said, 'yes, it needs to be established soon'," Castro told reporters.
Two German survivors who attended the hearing said Schettino had shaken their hands and said he was sorry.
Lawyers representing the victims' families said they wanted to look beyond Schettino.
"The reason these people died is not because of Captain Schettino, the reason these people died is because of the corporation, the negligence in their practices and safety procedures. There was no reason for anyone to die," said Peter Ronai, a lawyer for the victims' families.
On Monday, the court heard evidence that the maps used on the ship were not adequate, that the vessel came too close to shore at too high a speed and that the crew was not properly prepared for the evacuation.
Prosecutors are expected to speak on Tuesday, ahead of evidence from consultants and lawyers for the parties directly involved in the case towards the end of the week.
Schettino did not speak during Monday morning's hearing but his lawyers said he accepted blame for the accident and wanted the full truth to be established.
"The captain is doing what is in his right to do, he is conducting his defence," lawyer Pepe told reporters outside the closed-door hearing.
"It is in his interest that the truth comes out and it is a question of respect, not just for his rights but also the rights of the survivors," he said.
Eight other officers and executives of Costa Cruises , the ship's owner, are also being investigated for their roles in the accident.
The hearings will include the presentation of data taken from the ship's "black box" and an analysis of the accident by a panel of experts.
Castro, who was aboard the ship when it capsized, said: "What I would say to Captain Schettino is first to tell the truth and second to remember when he speaks that there are people looking at him who are still missing loved ones, people who will never be found because of what happened."

Dear SBC _________________
Posted by Chris Johnson in Baptist Life
I was involved in another blog string the other day that brought up an interesting question. It seems that many people that care about the SBC have a myriad of expectations of what the SBC should be doing or should be expected to do.
If you could write a letter to all the churches that are cooperating with the SBC, what would your letter look like? What would be your top three themes that express what you believe the SBC should be about doing and why? But then, and possibly even more important,…What would be at least three things that you would say…hey, this is way beyond what I would like to cooperate with and lets get rid of these three things. (things or programs that already exist.)
Give it some thought. Six things. Three things you are excited to be involved in with cooperating churches and why…..and three things you would like to see leave the SBC that if absent would bring about unity in a more profound way.

Agent orange corn?
Mary Glenney
From A Woman's Point of View | Listen to this entire show:
Rebecca Spector with Center For Food safety talks about efforts by Monsanto to get approval of a genetically modified corn that would be able to tolerate 2,4D-an agent in Agent Orange. The USDA, who has the authority to approve Monsanto's new seed, will be giving a decision soon . The EPA is taking opinions whether 2,4 D can safely be used in this way. Public comment is open until June 22-but Rachel said that opinions are still open and welcome. Since the introduction of Monsanto's Roundup ready corn, the use of Roundup has increased significantly and many weeds are now resistant to Roundup. Many worry that the same will happen with 2.4D. Many are concerned with human health effects and the adequacy of safety testing for both Roundup and 2,4D (herbicides).

FORT WAYNE — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has spoken to the Philadelphia Eagles about their vacant head coaching position, according to multiple reports.
Kelly interviewed with the Eagles on Tuesday before the Irish coach left the country, according to ESPN. The two sides plan to meet again when Kelly returns, the network reported on its website.
Kelly�s meeting was also reported by CBS, the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Associated Press.
Kelly led Notre Dame to the BCS championship game in his third season in South Bend. The Irish lost 42-14 to Alabama to finish the season 12-1 and ranked No. 4 in The Associated Press Top 25 and No. 3 in the USA Today coaches poll. He is 28-11 with the Irish.
Leading up to the national title game, Kelly said he wasn�t aware of any NFL teams reaching out to him or his representatives about interviewing him, but he also didn�t say he wouldn�t be interested in an NFL job.
�All that other stuff, that happens when you�re winning football games,� Kelly said during Saturday�s BCS media day at Sun Life Stadium. �I�ve been through this a lot in my career. It�s flattering if there is interest.�
Bishop Luers star linebacker and Notre Dame commit Jaylon Smith posted on his Twitter account two messages about the news Wednesday night. Smith wrote: �Hope Kelly doesn�t leave� and �If Kelly leaves!!!!!,,,,, I�m still a domer S/O to my ND fans.�
Kelly referred to Notre Dame as his dream job when he was hired and reiterated that sentiment before the BCS championship game.
Kelly picked up his fifth coach-of-the-year award Wednesday when the American Football Coaches Association named him the top coach in the FBS. He had already been named the coach of the year by The Associated Press, Home Depot, FWAA/Eddie Robinson and Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Sunday he would sit down with Kelly after the season and that a raise and contract extension would be on the table. Kelly received a previously set two-year extension as part of his original deal with Notre Dame in January.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman, owner Jeffrey Lurie and president Don Smolenski also plan to meet with former Bears coach Lovie Smith today, the AP said.

Iowa City - The University of Iowa is apologizing after it mistakenly emailed names, credit hours, and grade point averages to some 2-thousand students on Wednesday. Leaders say the information was inadvertently released by an employee via email and delivered to students that are in some way connected to the UI Center for Diversity and Enrichment.
Grade point averages are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). That's why recipients of the email are being asked to dismiss of it. "This is information that should not have been provided, so if they did receive the email, they should delete it. If they made a hard copy and printed that out, they should shred that," said Tom Moore, the University of Iowa Spokesperson.
UI leaders immediately started notifying the students impacted. "The primary concern here is the well-being of the students and we want to make sure that they are aware of it, and that they understand we regret it, and that we want to take steps to try and prevent it from happening again," Moore said. Students also received information about how to receive counseling services if they feel it would be helpful.
Moore said the situation is under review to determine exactly why this happened.

To Buy or to Lease?
This is me
This might be me
This is not me
I always drive over 15,000 miles a year.
I like to customize my car by tinting windows, adding pinstripes, sound system, etc.
I usually get emotionally attached to my car.
I love to see those payments dwindle to nothing.
I've got to have (real) new car smell.
I like the security of driving a car under warranty.
I usually choose a car that I can't afford.
My current car is more than 4 years old.
I am willing to trade ownership for low, monthly payments.
My company reimburses me for car expenses.
I like to do my own repair work.
I typically drive less than 12,000 miles a year.
You're more likely to buy
When you lease a car, you are typically capped at 15,000 miles a year. Additional mileage can cost you up to 35 cents per mile. And that can really add up.
If you like to personalize a car, this investment can be lost on a leased car.
If you like the idea of ownership, you are less likely to be happy with the lease option.
If you like the feeling of accomplishment that paying off a large purchase brings and should consider that when you lease a car, the payment ends only when you return the car.
If the car you presently own is over 3 years old you are more likely a buyer. While not always true, you can usually drive for less if you're willing to buy and drive for at least 3 years.
If you don't mind doing your own car repairs, you probably don't mind driving a car after the warranty expires.

You're more likely to lease
Lease arrangements usually involve a 15,000 miles-per-year cap and charge for extra miles. If you drive very little, you may be a candidate for a luxury lease.
When you negotiate a 24 or 36-month lease, you can be sure you'll always be driving a new vehicle.
Although you need to maintain and repair your leased vehicle just as you would an owned vehicle, because you typically lease for 2 to 3 years, the car is normally under warranty.
Many people prefer to drive a vehicle that is priced above their means and leasing provides the solution.
If you don't mind not owning the car, you are free to enjoy the benefits of leasing like low monthly payments and a low down payment.
If you own the company, and you use your car for business, check with your tax advisor. You may be able to deduct your auto expenses, including your monthly lease payment. And if the company you work for gives you a monthly car allowance, you may want to lease since you'll be able to drive a nicer car for a lower monthly payment.

Leicester Riders on a high, hope for Cheshire Jets, says Daniel Routledge
Daniel Routledge blogs on Leicester's flying form and the need for all fans to get behind Cheshire.
Last Updated: 02/11/12 9:52am
'I read your blog', laughed Rob Paternostro after his side's impressive victory at Newcastle in our televised game, before going on to remind me how I'd tipped the Eagles to beat his Riders.
In my defence, I suspect there weren't many even amongst the Leicester fans who predicted the Riders, without the injured John Fraley, would end a 15-year, 27-game losing streak in Newcastle.
And whilst I'm on the defensive, how good were the Riders at that end of the floor? Drew Sullivan led by example and I was particularly impressed with how well the guards took away Newcastle's penetration. Not to mention their rebounding without the league's leading rebounder.
Riders matched their best ever start to a top-flight season with a 7-0 record, equalling the mark set by the 1984 squad which included a fresh-faced Gene Waldron amongst their ranks. If memory serves, that team had a young English point guard who was just making his way in the game by the name of Paul James - I wonder whatever happened to him???
Little wonder then, that Paternostro won Coach of the Month award this week, although they were really lucky to remain undefeated when they should have lost to the Cheshire 24 hours later. Finding a way to win a game like that, however, can only be pleasing to Paternostro. Refuse to lose, victory from the jaws of defeat, whatever your cliché, Riders lived up to it.
More on the Jets later, but first we have the cup quarter-finals this weekend. Having not learnt my lesson, I'm predicting Glasgow and Newcastle will make their way through to the semi-finals.
The other two games are 'pick 'ems' for me, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go either way. London could easily beat the Fraley-less Riders, but having seen what Leicester did last week, only a brave man would bet against the Riders. And though Surrey won on the road in Plymouth last weekend, would a Raiders' win in Guildford this week really be a massive shock? I don't think so.
Back in the Championship, I'm looking forward to my first trip to the new Emirates Arena in Glasgow. It looks like a beautiful venue and it's hosting what promises to be an exciting game as the Worcester Wolves are in town for our game on Sky Sports this week.
Again these look to me on paper to be evenly matched, so I'm hoping for another good one and also that the Wolves' boss is still talking to me after dating his playing career in earlier in this piece - sorry PJ!
Obviously the big news of the week in the league concerns the Cheshire Jets and the BBL taking over the interim management of the franchise.
Sadly financial difficulties are a fact of life in modern sport, particularly in the current financial climate where it's hard for all types of businesses, whether you are selling electrical goods or sporting dreams.
We only have to look at what has happened recently in Rugby League to the likes of Bradford and Salford or Rangers and Portsmouth in football to see the harsh realities of life. Heck, even in the multi-billion dollar world of the NBA, the league ran the New Orleans Hornets for 18 months prior to agreeing a sale in the off-season.
I don't know the ins and outs, but what I do know is there are a lot of good people in Cheshire who have given a lot to the game and for their sake I'm hoping this is just a bump in the road. Certainly the noises I'm hearing are all positive, so hopefully something can be sorted pretty soon and the future of the club can be secured.
Having watched them on court last Saturday, they certainly have a decent team and their support was fantastic, so I wish them all the best.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
1. Rub the pork chops on each side with the oil. Mince the rosemary and combine it with the oregano in a small dish. Press equal amounts of the herbs onto both sides of each pork chop and let them sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, and in the refrigerator up to 8 hours.
2. Build a small fire in a barbecue, and when the coals are red and dusted with ash, spread them out and set the grill about 3-inches above the coals. Grill the pork chops until they are golden on the outside and still moist and just slightly pink on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Steve Parker, managing director, MediaVest, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 05 November 2010 12:00AM
Task: Support the launch of Doritos' late-night flavours range.
Execution: A branded channel hosting YouTube's first 360-degree interactive music video. The video is for Coming To Get Me by Professor Green and lets users zoom in/out and scroll in 360 degrees as it progresses, following the rapper and his mates as they explore a warehouse party. The video builds on Doritos' earlier augmented reality video for Rihanna's Who's That Chick?.
Credit: Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO.
Why I like it: Doritos has shown a real understanding of the value exchange required to make meaningful connections with its audience. It also gets that it isn't about Doritos; it's about the content and so has invested in making this entertaining, innovative and exclusive.
You can literally look around the video as if you're there, seeing different things each time you watch it. The effect is brilliant - it's definitely the closest I'm ever going to get to a warehouse rave with Professor Green. So by partnering with EMI, it's content that has real currency.
Wish I'd thought of: The wider platform of providing exclusive late-night content has the potential to run and run, generating revenue for both Doritos and its content partners beyond just selling packets of crisps. The Professor Green track is now likely to be released commercially with Doritos and the artist set to cash in.
The follow-on possibilities are endless with exclusive albums, gigs and tours all a possibility. It's a smart example of a winning partnership between brand and artist.

Praying for rain: Atheist critics show how petty and small-minded they've become
By Lisa Miller on July 26, 2012
© The Washington Post
With the death of the writer Christopher Hitchens, and the withdrawal of Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith, from the front lines into a study of morality and neuroscience, the American atheist movement has a void at the top. A decade ago, atheists were brave, fierce warriors bent on battling conventional wisdom and easy piety. These days, it seems, atheists are petty and small-minded ideologues who regard every expression of public religiosity as a personal affront – not to mention a possible violation of the First Amendment and a sign of rampant idiocy among their fellow citizens.
Last week, such atheist hysteria reached a peak when Tom Flynn, executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism, publicly over-reacted to remarks made at a press conference by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. In speaking about the devastating drought now facing farmers in the Midwest, the worst in 25 years, the Secretary, who was raised a Roman Catholic, struck a tone both emphatic and personal.
Flynn came out churlishly swinging. About Vilsack's statement, he said, "that's not just government entangling itself with religion, that's government publicly practicing it, and wallowing in superstition." Besides, he added (rather meanly), prayer doesn't work.
The jury may be out on the efficacy of prayer, but on the question of whether the USDA chief has violated the First Amendment, Flynn is entirely wrong. Vilsack did not say he had ceased doing his day job and was collecting his government salary while devoting himself to prayer. He did not suggest using taxpayer dollars to set up an altar to the rain gods outside USDA headquarters on Independence Avenue, nor did he – as Texas Governor Rick Perry did last year – use his authority to declare a national day of prayer for rain. Vilsack merely said, in light of the vast consequences of the drought on human life, that he was moved to prayer. And that he wished he had more, or better, prayers to alleviate the suffering of so many.
"If a leader wants to say he's praying for help, there's nothing in the constitution that makes it inappropriate," says David Beckmann, a Lutheran pastor and president of the hunger advocacy organization Bread for the World.
Beckmann adds that he's praying as well -- not just for American farmers but especially for poor people around the world who need the fruits of those farms to live – and who may not be able to afford the price increases that will inevitably result from food shortages. For his part, Vilsack declined to comment further.
Vilsack and Beckmann (and Perry, for that matter) are hardly the first humans on the planet to pray to God for that life-giving substance, rain. The God of the Hebrew Bible is a cousin, historically, of the Canaanite deity Baal, a sky god who controlled the weather, especially rain. When in the Book of Kings, Elijah proposes a rain-making competition between Baal and the God of Abraham, God wins when he shoots fire down to earth, causing the assembled party to fall on their faces. In celebration of his victory, God makes the sky "black with clouds and winds, and there was a great rain."
Rain prayers are especially potent among desert dwellers; in the arid Southwest, Native Americans have for thousands of years made prayers, songs, and dances for rain and they continue to do so today.
"Thence throw you misty water," goes the "Rain Magic Song," of the Pueblo Indians, "all round about us here."
Before they make such supplications, says Tony Chavarria, curator of ethnology at Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, Pueblo Indians are taught to "look within yourself, your community to see what needs to be repaired, what you can to make yourself and your community a more balanced place so the deities will be more willing to convey that blessing."
In addition to the small tempest they made over the Vilsack comment, atheists have also, in recent days, reflexively whined about a tweet from Pastor Rick Warren's office (which they mistakenly thought was anti-evolution when it was really anti-pre-marital sex) and have questioned the appropriateness of President Obama's prayers for the families of the victims in the Colorado shootings. In the non-believing community, a search for inward balance might, it seems, be in order.

Apple names a new iPod chief and a COO, tooOctober 14, 2005
The company on Monday confirmed the departure of general counsel Nancy Heinen, who was its highest-ranking female executive, but did not say when she left, or why.
"Nancy Heinen is no longer an Apple employee," said company spokesman Steve Dowling. "We've already begun the search for a (new) general counsel. In the interim, Peter Oppenheimer, our chief financial officer, will oversee Apple's legal department."
Heinen's exit follows that of iPod division chief and longtime hardware executive Jon Rubinstein, as well as that of chief software technology officer Avie Tevanian. Tevanian on Monday joined the board of directors of voice portal company Tellme Networks.
Word of Heinen's departure comes just as Apple scored a major victory in a British court, with a judge ruling that Apple can keep using the Apple logo in conjunction with its iTunes Music Store.
Heinen's departure was noted Friday on Apple enthusiast site Apple Insider.

More than likey, its related to "time to move on to better things" aka stress is not worth it aka let some other little fish swim with the sharks.
You have to understand that with over $5Bil in cash, everyone and their sister is suing Apple Comp from poor iPods, damaging audio, to Apple Comp defending its icons and software.

And, given Jobs high-profile antics regarding a book critical of
him, antics at Pixar (not giving credit to those who helped make
him) , his refusal to write a forward for Wozniak, and an overly
expensive new campus for Apple tells me Jobs' ego is out of
control and Apple execs are bailing out. Jobs' behavior leading
to his dismissal from Apple years ago is likely reappearing.
There will soon be another book: The Rise and Final Fall of Apple

There are not a lot of international championship 1500m races that involve just two Africans, but the Commonwealth Games 1500m final is one of them. It is unfortunately in the middle of the night. It is doubly unfortunate that while TVNZ offers free streaming video of the Games ... it is only available to people actually in New Zealand and there are no public proxy servers that allow you to fool the TVNZ site into thinking you're in New Zealand.
Because of all the white people, and the four NCAA Division 1 alumni in the race, it is attracting more attention than any other event at the Commonwealth Games on the normally U.S.-centric letsrun.
The main contenders--based on personal bests, all set last year--are New Zealand's Nick Willis, Australia's Craig "Buster" Mottram, and Australia's Mark Fountain.
Start lists and results are here. I am hoping for a New Zealand sweep, but this is unlikely.
Update, 25 March: Mottram and Sullivan tangle and fall. 2 minute split at 800m must play into Willis' hands. Willis wins! Brannen takes the silver. Fountain the bronze. Hamblyn (NZL) just 0.05 out of third. Sullivan and Mottram get 7th and 9th respectively.Posted by robe0419 at March 24, 2006 10:32 PM | TrackBack

VERNON – Vernon City Council held an emergency special session at the request of City Attorney Michelle Tagert Wednesday, May 28, after a recent incident involving Public Works Director Ronald Woods open firing a personal weapon in a residential area after being bitten by an alleged vicious dog.
"We are here because even though the policy states that the public works employee is to handle animal control, it does not state how vicious animals are to be treated," said Tagart. "He has had no training or guidance on how to deal with a vicious animal. If there was a misfire or if someone were hit by a stray bullet, then that would have changed this situation dramatically."
According to paperwork submitted by Woods, he was responding to a call about a vicious dog,. Upon arrival on the scene, he found a gray bulldog "barking and snapping." He knocked on the door of the residence the dog was near but received no answer. The dog followed Woods as he continued to another resident's house. There, he was told the dog belonged to someone who was in Tampa, and the resident requested something "be done about the dog."
Woods reported he then crossed the yard to speak with Glenn Cheffield, who said the dog attacked him, as well as two other individuals. Woods was on his way back to the truck when the dog bit him. Woods says that's when he went back to his personal truck, took out his personal gun and picked up another employee before returning to the scene where the dog was.
Woods reported when they got out of the truck the dog "charged" at them, and he felt it necessary to open fire. He shot three times in the dog's direction before the dog ran off. The employees were unable to find the dog, and Woods went back to City Hall where he was instructed to go to the hospital to seek treatment for the dog bite.
"The only thing I see wrong is that he went back to his personal vehicle, grabbed a personal weapon and returned to the scene without notifying the Washington County Sheriff's Office," said Councilman Joey Brock.
Tagert stated if there was a policy in place for employee handling of a vicious animal, then there would have been something for Woods to refer.
After much discussion, the council agreed to have Tagert draft a policy for employee training and procedure for handling potentially dangerous animals, as well as a policy about employees and firearms, to be brought before the council during Monday night's workshop for further discussion.
Council agreed until a policy is put into place and employees are trained in that policy, the city will rely on Washington County Animal Control to handle any other animal issues.
Council also stated no disciplinary action would be taken against Woods.

Fox News Obtains State Dept Emails: Al Qaeda-Linked Group Claimed Responsibility for Libya Attack Within Hours
A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows that officials knew within hours of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that an al Qaeda-linked group had claimed responsibility.
The group, Ansar al-Sharia, has been declared by the State Department to be an affiliate of al Qaeda.
Just five days later, UN Ambassador Susan Rice went on numerous television news shows and claimed that intelligence reports led her to believe the attack on
the U.S. Consulate, which killed four Americans, was spontaneous and linked to protests over an anti-Islam film.
The emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.
The emails often include the subheading SBU, which is shorthand for "Sensitive But Unclassified."
On Sept 18, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney backed up Rice, saying, "Based on information that we -- our initial information ... we saw no evidence to back up claims by others that this was a preplanned or premeditated attack; that we saw evidence that it was sparked by the reaction to this video." Carney went on to say "that is what we know" based on "concrete evidence, not supposition."
On Fox and Friends this morning, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) weighed in on the situation, saying "this is getting uglier every day." The vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee said he would like to see Senate hearings held on the matter, like the House proceedings that took place earlier this month.
Read the emails, here.
