Hope for the Future
I've been feeling discouraged recently about where we are in life. I thought we should have accomplished so much more by now. We've been married almost 4 years and I expected we would be living overseas by now, have a few kids (got that part!), traveling and visiting new countries, maybe bought a house, and definitely paid off all our debt and having surplus to give and help others.
So, at the beginning we gave up some of our dreams and buckled down to pay off our debt. We budgeted; we saved; we lived simply. We kept hoping a better job would come by that would help us pay it off quicker. We kept praying, searching, and applying. Days have turned into years and each year it seems as if our dreams are still so out of reach. I thought I might at least be able to touch them with my fingertips by now.
Don't get me wrong. We were never without. But we dreamed of doing so much more and making a difference in this world. Then, we found a little opening, a possible way to do what has been on our hearts with a timeframe in sight. We had renewed vision and renewed hope. Right then, amidst the hope, my husband lost his job. I was crushed. It is true he hated his job but now without it, all our plans are on hold and instead of moving forward, we seem to be taking steps backwards. Despite all our tears and prayers, it seemed as if things were falling apart. We were lost. Defeated. We started arguing about past failures and regrets and we were stressing out about what steps we should take next. We applied to jobs. We prayed. We waited. Nothing.
Why God have you forgotten us? Where are you in our times of trouble? Why do you not hear our prayers when we cry out to you? Our hearts long to rejoice. Our hearts are weary and downtrodden. We look to the skies and seek your help.
I know I must be patient. I know I must be content. I know I must rejoice in all things. I grew even more in despair because I could not be those things.
On Sunday, I heard a message on contentment, on dwelling on the positives. Our pastor spoke about Rethinking Marriage and guarding our marriage relationship and focusing on the good, uplifting each other. He talked about Nick Vujicic, the man without limbs, and how he focused on what he DID HAVE. Sure, I had heard it all before but that day in the pew, it struck a chord within me. What are the good things that I have? What things about my husband do I love? What have we gained in our 4 years together? What good has come of our seemingly unfortunate situation?
There are many things that the world says you need to have in order to be considered successful. How many of those things are really a true measure of success? When I look at my life, it may seem like we have accomplished little. We don't have a job, a house, or a retirement fund. We haven't traveled the world together or started schools for orphans or translated the Bible. But we have grown in many ways…
We have learned how small financial decisions now can make a big impact on our future.
We have learned humility in accepting help and sensitivity to help those in need.
We have learned to live simply and learned to give sacrificially.
We have cultivated many friendships.
We have learned to value our families.
We have learned to be parents and to place our needs below another's.
We have learned to love each other despite the circumstance.
And now, I want to learn to look at the positives and see the good in every situation that we are in. In this current state of unemployment, we have had time to reflect and to realign ourselves to discern where our calling lies and most importantly, to have a deeper trust in the Lord because he holds our future. I want to spend time dwelling on what we do have and on what we have gained! We have so much to be thankful for and I know it sounds cliche but it's true! I will not fear! I will have hope and I pray that you will too!
I lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you– the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. ~Psalms 121
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. ~Jeremiah 29:11 (Memory verse from my daughter's Sunday School class!)

Amos 3:7
"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets."
Genesis 18:17
The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Daniel 2:47
The king answered Daniel and said, "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery."
John 15:15
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants, the prophets."
YHWH in His sovereign grace has reached down to mankind and revealed Himself and His eternal purpose for all to know Him. He did this by revealing Himself to the prophets in the Scriptures, and by sending His own Son, Yeshua Messiah as recorded in the New Testament. There is a progressive self revelation of YHWH as we begin in the book of Genesis a journey to the fulfillment of all the promises in person and work of Yeshua Messiah. YHWH does not give a full complete revelation of everything about Himself and His purpose for mankind in one quick brief presentation. The will of YHWH was gradually revealed. An infinite God cannot reveal more than finite men can understand. YHWH is patient. He progressively reveals truths about Himself and His purpose for mankind. Here a little, there some more, like bringing all the pieces of a great puzzle together until we see the complete picture. Each revelation of Himself to men in the Scriptures was true and accurate.
He used different methods of revelation. Sometimes He revealed Himself through dreams, at other times by visions, at other times by voices or plain explicit language, sometimes by internal sense that YHWH was leading and guiding, some times by angels, etc. YHWH used narratives, prediction, lengthy arguments, logic discourse, prose, symbols, types, and poetry. YHWH spoke in His creation of the world, Adam and Eve, judgment against Cain and acceptance of Able, deliverance of Noah and his family in the flood, the call of Abraham and His descendants to be YHWH's chosen people, His mercy shown to David, deliverance of the slaves in Egypt and judgment upon Egyptians gods. He spoke to Elijah in a still quiet voice, and the thunder to Moses, the daily sacrifice of the priests, and the Day of Atonement, the sweet singer of Israel in the Psalms, the promise of one greater than king David, the wisdom of Solomon, prophecies of the coming of the Messiah, the judgment of the exile in Assyria and Babylon, the deliverance by the Persians, etc. Through it all there is the sovereign hand of YHWH directing all of history.
YHWH's final Word came when "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Yeshua Messiah is YHWH's ultimate and final Word. In Him all the promises of YHWH are fulfilled. He is the final Word; we do not have to turn somewhere else or to another book. There is no progression of the revelation of YHWH beyond Yeshua. There is nothing else to be said. He is the final Word from YHWH.
We have two great needs. We need a clear revelation of who YHWH is and what He demands of lost sinners. We also need to be reconciled to Him according to his standard of righteousness. YHWH has fulfilled those two needs by revealing Himself and providing a right standing with Him by means of the atoning sacrifice of the Lamb of YHWH.
YHWH spoke to the patriarchs in the Scriptures through His prophets in many different ways on many different occasions. YHWH revealed everything we need to know in order to have a personal relationship with Him.

Michael J. Oard
The idea of river piracy is that the tributary of a river erodes through
a headwater barrier and captures the
water from another river or stream
(figure 1). As a result, the water
increases in the pirating stream and
decreases at the downstream end of the
captured river. By this process, river
piracy or capture is considered one of
the main uniformitarian explanations
for how a water gap (a deep pass
through a mountain, mountain range,
plateau, or any other transverse barrier)
can be formed. 1–3
However, despite the presence of
thousands of water gaps across the
earth's surface there is no concrete
evidence that this is an adequate
explanation. More surprising, though,
is the recent argument that water gaps,
apparently derived from river piracy,
are also responsible for explaining
regional scale planation surfaces. The
concept that low-relief landscapes can
be formed by river piracy and river
network disruptions such as water
gaps, put forward in a recent paper, is
strongly challenged here.
River piracy has been inferred from
relief (topography). It has never been
observed—until recently. 1, 2 The Slims
River in the Yukon Territory of Canada
flows north and the Kaskawulsh
River flows south-east from a very
low divide occupied by the outlet
of a valley glacier. The snout of the
glacier receded back due to what some
claim to be recent global warming. 3
In May 2016, the Kaskawulsh Rivercaptured the Slims River. It appearsthat before the Little Ice Age, the waterof the Slims River had flowed southinto Kaskawulsh River, like it doestoday. But when the glacier advancedduring the Little Ice Age in the 1700sand 1800s, an outwash fan separatedthe river, allowing the two branches toflow north and south until May 2016.The authors of the original report statedtheir accomplishment:"Furthermore, previous studiesof river piracy have dealt withcapture over Quaternary or longertimescales, with no one, to ourknowledge, having detailed thephenomenon in the modern era." 4
Although this is the first observation of river piracy, it is a trivial
example, especially when river piracy
is invoked to account for gorges that
transverse barriers hundreds of metres
Planation surfaces5 are common
geomorphological landforms found at
all elevations all over the earth. They
are generally flat surfaces eroded in
hard rock with a veneer of mostly
rounded rocks capping the surface.
The most distinctive planation surfaces
are found at the tops of mountains.
These are the most challenging for
uniformitarian scientists to explain. 6
It is all the more difficult since many
active mountains of the world have
mountaintop planation surfaces:
"Low-relief erosional surfaces have
been described in nearly every active
orogeny [mountain range]." 7
For example, the Tibetan Plateau is
a 2. 5 million km2 dissected planation
surface about 4,500– 5,000 m above
sea level. The dissected planation
surface slopes south-east toward
lower elevations.8 The sloping surface
is highly dissected by three rivers that
form gorges 3–4 km deep.
The traditional view is that theTibetan Plateau planation surface wascarved near sea level, uplifted, anddissected. Yang et al. proposed a new,ingenious hypothesis based on rivercapture. To explain why planationsurfaces lie between the rivers, Yang etal. assumed that the surfaces originallyformed well above sea level, in situwith a little isostatic uplift. 9, 10 Theysuggested that a tributary from oneriver captured the water from a secondriver. With decreased flow, the secondriver was unable to significantly erodeits channel bed. Then, as the sides ofthe second river eroded more, the areaoccupied by the second river erodedinto a nearly flat surface.
This new hypothesis for the formation of mountaintop planation surfaces at near their current elevation
has numerous problems. 11, 12 First,
Yang et al. used only a simple model
to verify their hypothesis, but the area
is so complicated with three parallel,
deep river gorges in close proximity
separated by planation surfaces that
it demands a more complex model.
Even a complex model would not be
able to account for the many variables
and their nonlinear interactions, such
as changing mountain relief due to
Second, Yang et al. need numerous
expansions and contractions of river
networks. It would take multiple
tributary captures to flatten all the
interfluves between the present-day
modern rivers. Unfortunately for
their proposal, it does not appear that
significant rivers ever occupied the
planation surfaces, yet it is claimed
that the rivers originally carved the
planation surface.8
Third, the planation surface should
be at different elevations south-east
of the Tibetan Plateau because the
rivers would have had different
volumes of flow and erosion potential,
but instead are of similar elevation,
sloping down in a south-east direction.
The area generally looks like a huge
single, dissected planation surface, as
traditionally believed.
Fourth, the evidence for river
capture is equivocal, since the

Is Jimbo Fisher the top candidate for the LSU job?
LSU's search for a head football coach revved up this past weekend, as a group of university leaders took the next step in the hunt for Les Miles' replacement, according to The Advocate.
A group of five to six decision-makers, during a meeting, narrowed a list of candidates to as few as four and formulated multiple plans that could be executed next weekend.
A person with knowledge of the search spoke to The Advocate on a condition of anonymity.
The university has spent the past eight weeks using backchannel methods to gauge the interest of multiple college head coaches and vet them, while also evaluating interim coach Ed Orgeron's job with regards to his serious candidacy for the full-time position. It was the first step in a process that took a turn over the weekend, when two-touchdown favorite LSU lost to Florida 16-10 in the home finale at Tiger Stadium.
The loss opens the door to a pool of candidates — led by Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher — and ends a potential plan to quickly name Orgeron the school's new leader, the source confirmed. Orgeron, a 55-year-old who's 10-4 in interim roles at Southern Cal and LSU, remains a viable candidate for the full-time position, the source confirmed.
He's expected to meet with LSU athletic director Joe Alleva on Friday after the Tigers' regular-season finale on Thanksgiving night at Texas A&M, where he'll lay out a long-term plan that likely includes hiring a proven guru as offensive coordinator. Orgeron and Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin remain close friends.
Meanwhile, university leaders have kept "the lines of communication open with Jimbo Fisher's people," and they feel strongly that he's "very interested" in returning to Baton Rouge.
Fisher has been a candidate for a year now. The Advocate reported on Dec. 4 of last year that representatives from LSU and representatives for Fisher were in discussions days before the school beat Texas A&M in what many believed to be Miles' final game as coach. Alleva admitted then only that he "looked at options" and made "inquiries" regarding a potential new football coach.

He also helped us receive our full seller concession on our new property by offering slightly more than asking because of his knowledge of this particular builder. He would respond to text messages within a few minutes of receiving them. We are first time home buyers and he made this process the easiest we could have ever hoped for!

A Bit of a Delay (Update)
I was hoping to be able to announce when my contribution to the Lectio Continua expository commentary series would be released, and that I would be able to provide price and ordering information. But alas, there has been a glitch during the editing process and the book's release will be delayed a few more weeks.
I taught on First Corinthians for over a year (back in 2004-05) during our Wednesday night Bible study at Christ Reformed, and I preached through the entire book back in 2010-11. First Corinthians is an important book and outside of Calvin's commentary, the venerable commentary by Charles Hodge, and the crisp volume by Leon Morris in the Tyndale series, there has not been much Reformed reflection upon this remarkable and important letter.
That is too bad because Paul addresses a number of issues in First Corinthians which are still with us today. How do we as Christians relate to the surrounding culture--which is largely pagan and sexually immoral? Paul addresses the way in which worship should be conducted, and how the Lord's Supper should be administered. He addresses matters of marriage and family, civil litigation, and church discipline. He speaks at length about gifts of the Spirit and related issues such as speaking in tongues. He also speaks in great detail about eschatology and the resurrection of the body.
In any case, I hope my humble effort serves, in part, to fill this gap, and perhaps generates some renewed interest in the epistle and the important issues it addresses.
I will certainly keep you posted when I get further publication info from the publisher.
The manuscript is undergoing its final proof-reading and then its off to the press. Should have publishing information soon!

Sonora represents Stanislaus District's last hope in water polo tournament
Eight boys water polo teams are headed to Turlock's Pitman High School for today's championship round of the DeLong Memorial Tournament, but only one will be from the Stanislaus District.
While Sonora earned its way into the final eight, the waters proved rough Friday for the other 13 area teams entered in the two-day, 32-team tournament, which was held at Johansen, Tokay of Lodi and Pitman.
Sonora defeated Reno, 11-10, and tournament host Johansen, 11-7, and will join Granite Bay, Foothill of Pleasanton, Newberg of Oregon, Clayton Valley of Concord, Ponderosa of Shingle Springs, Del Oro of Loomis and Marin Catholic of Kentfield in the championship round at Pitman.
Johansen opened the day with a 10-7 victory over Casa Roble of Orangevale behind six goals from Kyle Sessa and three from Max Green. The Vikings (16-10) failed to secure themselves a trip to Pitman thanks to an 11-7 loss to Sonora. Colby Phipps scored four goals for Johansen.
"In the first game, we got up 4-0 against (Casa Roble) and I got a chance to play everybody, which was nice," Johansen coach Brent Bohlender said of his team's win. "Sonora is a very good team, a very well-coached team, It was actually a little bit closer than I thought it would be, but overall the boys did fine."
Johansen, Oakdale, Buhach Colony, Pitman, Turlock, Liberty of Brentwood, Clovis North and Golden West of Visalia will compete for places nine through 16 today at Johansen.
Turlock, playing at Pitman, began the day with a 15-12 win over Amador Valley of Pleasanton that featured seven goals from Chris Callahan and five goals from Taylor Sellers.
"When (Callahan's) on his game, it opens things up for teammates," Turlock coach Steve Feaver said.
But Turlock (15-7) unraveled later in the day in a 15-7 loss to Del Oro. Callahan had four goals and Sellers three for the Bulldogs.
"We were outplayed in just about every phase of the game," said Feaver. "Taylor Sellers made things happen for us, but we didn't respond as a team. We need to learn from our mistakes and apply that knowledge to our future play."
Pitman, playing at home, pinned an 18-0 loss on Central Catholic -- Colby Hester scored four goals and Ian Roos three in the win for the Pride -- before falling to Newberg, 10-3.

Triple Epiphany Poster Pack
Triple Epiphany Poster Pack
The Triple epiphany Poster Pack was a collection of three but now includes all four of Kurt Hoffman's amazing posters: The Unity of Human Diversity, The Human Elements, The Moral Universals, The Human Experience Framework.
1. The Human Human Experience Framework
The success of any human endeavor is determined by the quality of ideas from which they come. The quality of an idea is determined by the accuracy and clarity of the worldview from which it comes. For better or worse, from our worldview we define what is true, what is good, and what is possible in the creative process. This masterful Framework, therefore, demonstrate where diverse areas of life derive and intersect, and how to account for problems holistically, including at their philosophical root level. Want to see the Framework? Click here!
2. The Human Elements
The highest potential of any thing is defined by its nature. The wholeness of any thing is determined by how well all of its diverse parts are fully developed in unity. Human flourishing, therefore, first stems from affirming and cultivating human nature. And affirming and cultivating human nature stems from first understanding it. The Human Elements poster, therefore, creatively abbreviates and summarizes these facts. That we are equal and diverse and affirming both, in the right order, is not just the recipe for greater unity but the recipe for the greatest degree of personal, local, and global flourishing the world has ever seen. So, yeah, it's kind of a big deal. Want to see the Human Elements? Click here!
3. The Moral Universals
As humans, we find ourselves a complex integration of many parts – a mind, deep capacities to feel emotions, and a fascinatingly complex body, just to name a few. These parts can operate seamlessly together or be at odds. That is, our very human experience of disorder and disillusionment or wellness and holistic unity, or somewhere in between. And observe any human, or simply examine your own self, and it is clear, within ourselves and with others we want wholeness and we want unity. The Moral Universals poster, therefore, summarizes the basic areas of our human nature where our choices matter the most. Where, how we treat ourselves and others disrupts our nature or cultivates life. If we know ourselves we can thus do what is good for ourselves and come fully alive. If not, well, the choice is ours.

Supremes handed opportunity to fix abortion law
'Method involves tearing apart what was until then a living unborn child'
The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to take an Alabama case and fix an "aberration" in judicial precedent by banning a gruesome abortion "method [that] involves tearing apart and extracting piece-by-piece from the uterus what was until then a living unborn child."
It was when the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case that the panel of judges said they had to throw out an Alabama abortion restriction because of the Supreme Court's previous rulings.
But they formally charged that those demands were an "aberration" of normal law.
Chief Judge Ed Carnes lamented in his opinion that he was bound by those standards.
"In our judicial system, there is only one Supreme Court, and we are not it," he wrote.
Judge Joel Dubina wrote separately to express his agreement with Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia in Gonzales v. Carhart in which Thomas wrote, "I write separately to reiterate my view that the court's abortion jurisprudence," including in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Roe v. Wade, "has no basis in the Constitution."
Now officials at Liberty Counsel have filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the high court encouraging the justices to take the case Steven Marshall et. al v. West Alabama Women's Center.
There, abortionists in Alabama sought, and got from the lower courts, a ruling that destroyed a newly adopted state limit on abortions.
The case presents a direct challenge to the 1973 Roe opinion that created the "right" to abortion in America.
"Liberty Counsel represents the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Pediatricians, which are urging the Supreme Court to accept review of the Eleventh Circuit decision and to uphold the law that protects unborn babies, who can feel pain as early as eight weeks gestation, from cruel and unusual punishment," Liberty Counsel confirmed.
"Although the Court of Appeals invalidated the Alabama law, it did so only because the judges said they were bound by the Supreme Court, which they noted created an 'aberration of constitutional law' related to abortion. While disagreeing with the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals acknowledged it is not the Supreme Court," Liberty Counsel said.
"Alabama's law is a common-sense solution to a barbaric and gruesome procedure," said Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel. "If the vilest criminal has human dignity that prevents cruel and unusual punishment, then how much more should the law protect an innocent unborn child from the most despicable form of torture and death? There are just seven countries in the world that allow children to endure this barbaric procedure and that disgraceful list includes the United States. We must make the womb a safe place again."
The brief notes the accuracy of the description as a "dismemberment" abortion.
One expert quoted there explained, "A leg might be ripped off the fetus as it is pulled … the process of evacuating the fetus piece by piece continues until it has been completely removed."
When the case was at the 11th, the judges were revolted by the procedure.
They snarked that "a majority" of the Supreme Court "discovered that [abortion] right lurking somewhere in the 'penumbras of the Bill of Rights' as illuminated by the 'concept of ordered liberty.'"
"In this type of abortion the unborn child dies the way anyone else would if dismembererd alive. 'It bleeds to death as it is torn limb from limb,'" the ruling said.
"It can, however, 'survive for a time while its limbs are being torn off.'"
The 11th Circuit is not the only court to take the U.S. Supreme Court's affinity for abortion to task lately. About the same time as the 11th Circuit ruling came down, so did one from the Alabama Supreme Court, which said an unborn baby is a "person" under the law, and, consequently, causing the death of that person can be punished with execution.
Further, in a special concurrence, Justice Tom Parker called on the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that created a "right" to abortion.
"I write specially to expound upon the principles presented in the main opinion and to note the continued legal anomaly and logical fallacy that is Roe v. Wade," he said. "I urge the United States Supreme Court to overrule this increasingly isolated exception to the rights of unborn children."
Parker affirmed the Alabama court's rationale that "unborn children are persons entitled to the full and equal protection of the law."
He asserted Roe v. Wade is "without historical or constitutional support, carved out an exception to the rights of unborn children and prohibited states from recognizing an unborn child's inalienable right to life when that right conflicts with a woman's 'right' to abortion."
"This judicially created exception of Roe is an aberration to the natural law … and common law of the states," Parker said.

On December 28, 2018, a Task Group that includes U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") personnel and private-sector health care industry leaders published new guidance for health care organizations on cybersecurity best practices.[1] The guidance—Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices: Managing Threats and Protecting Patients—is voluntary and creates no legal obligations. It is targeted to health care providers, payors, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers.
This publication is among the most comprehensive and detailed guidance now available to the health care industry on cybersecurity. While voluntary, the prescriptive advice and scalable tools in the new guidance may be a valuable resource for legal, compliance, IT, and information security professionals at health care organizations. Organizations that follow this guidance may decrease the likelihood that they will suffer a costly data breach, and in the event of a breach may be able to point to compliance with the guidance to show that they have implemented reasonable cybersecurity practices, thereby helping to defend against private lawsuits or government enforcement actions.
This alert briefly describes the background and key takeaways from the guidance. Gibson Dunn is available to answer any questions you may have about how this guidance applies to your organization, as well as any other topics related to cybersecurity or privacy in the health care industry.

Sadly, squash season is almost over… The grocery store still had some acorn squash, and it's kind of chilly, so I figured I'd make some acorn squash soup. This is one of those soups that I think tastes better the next day, after the spices have a chance to really set in. If you don't like spicy things, you can leave out the paprika and black pepper in Step 1.
Ingredients1 large acorn squash salt (enough to sprinkle before baking) paprika (enough to sprinkle before baking) black pepper (enough to sprinkle before baking) 1/4 tsp cumin 2 cloves garlic, chopped into big pieces 1 potato, chopped into big pieces 3 cups water 1 veggie bullion cube 1 tbsp lime juice 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fine
1. Cut the acorn squash in half. Sprinkle salt, paprika, and black pepper on both halves. Wrap in foil and bake at 400 F for 45 mins.
2. While the squash is baking, heat the oil on med-high heat in a large saucepan. Add the cumin and fry for 1 min. Add the garlic and potatoes and cook for 5 mins. Add the water and veggie bullion and bring to boil. Boil until the potatoes are done (~7 mins). Remove from heat.
3. When the squash is done, scrape off the pulp using a spoon and put it in the saucepan.
4. Once the mixture cools, blend it until smooth.
5. Bring the blended soup to a boil. Add the cilantro and lime juice and serve hot.

Disaster Response
Scope of our Mission
Traditionally, the United Methodist disaster response has been called a ministry of pastoral care. Over time, the response has become much broader and now constitutes a multifaceted ministry of Christ's Church in the areas of theological, material, mental health, advocacy and social services designed to provide for the spiritual, emotional and physical recovery of disaster survivors and for the well-being of their caregivers.
Overall Disaster Response Strategy
The Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference Disaster Response Team is an "umbrella" entity, meaning that it directs physical, monetary, and volunteer resources where needed within our area. It is not a "first responder" agency such as a fire department, EMS, or even the Red Cross. We work as part of the the Pennsylvania Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) to organize resources within an area and coordinate response with state, federal, and non-profit agencies with common guidelines and principles. We are positioned to step into a situation typically in day two or three of an event and to provide near-term and long-term assistance as appropriate.
Western Pennsylvania UMC's Disaster Response Coordinator is Rev. Calvin Cook. You can reach him by email at email@example.com or by phone at (814) 442-5899. If there is a disaster (humanitarian or natural) in your area, please call to report it to Calvin and your District Office.
Early Response Team Training
This is an UMCOR certified training for DIsaster Response ministries of Volunteers in Mission. Non-United Methodist participants are welcome but will not be badged or deployed through the UMCOR-UMVIM ministry network. Clearances are required from UMs on the day of the training.
Keep looking for updated dates.

BLOOMINGTON — A new restaurant will be built in the former Macy's parking lot at Eastland Mall, but the eatery already is familiar to Twin City diners.
Outback Steakhouse will move from the Lakewood Plaza shopping center at 1409 N. Veterans Parkway to the intersection of Veterans and Empire Street.
Jeff Allen, senior project manager in development for the mall owner, Chattanooga, Tenn.-based CBL Properties, disclosed the move at Wednesday's meeting of the Bloomington Planning Commission. The commission unanimously recommended the restaurant site plan to the City Council, which may vote on it Dec. 11.
Allen said he did not know why the restaurant was moving.
Curtis Akers, a partner in the building that currently houses the restaurant, referred all questions about the restaurant to Outback Steakhouse media relations in Tampa, Fla., which could not be reached Wednesday night.
Akers said the restaurant opened at its current site in 1998 and employs about 70 people.
The city's zoning ordinance requires a site plan review for properties in a C3 zoning district, which is for community and regional shopping centers, said Bloomington City Planner Katie Simpson.
In the site plan submitted to the city's community development department, a new building is labeled as a standalone restaurant pad in the northeast corner of the mall property. The vacant Macy's store would be to the west and the Sears Automotive Center to the south of the site.
A land-lease agreement calls for Outback Steakhouse to construct and lease the building while CBL will retain ownership of the land.
"Assuming we get City Council approval, it moves forward in the spring and they are open by Thanksgiving next year," said Allen.
Outback Steakhouse is a tenent in other malls owned by CBL Properties.
"We do have a good relationship with Outback. We have other lease agreements on other properties with them," said Allen.
"I think it's fantastic that longtime restaurant Outback Steakhouse wants to invest further in the city of Bloomington by constructing one of their new concept-style buildings and be a part of the wonderful new developments that will be occurring soon at Eastland Mall," said Bloomington Economic Development Coordinator Austin Grammer.
That includes the redevelopment of the mall's J.C. Penney site, which is underway, he added.
An Eastland Mall site plan on its website shows Planet Fitness plans to occupy 20,119 square feet of the 71,000-square-foot former J.C. Penney store.
Plans for the redevelopment of the former anchor store have been submitted to the city, "and we're almost ready to pick up our building permits" for both Planet Fitness and a still unnamed national fashion retailer, said Allen.
"We are literally expecting a signed lease from (the fashion retailer) this week or next week," said Allen. "Until it's signed, I am not at liberty to say who that is."
Allen had no new information about CBL's plans to fill the former Macy's store.

SANTA CLARA, CA — The East Los Angeles College women's basketball team opened the season with a runner-up finish at the Mission College Tournament today.
No. 5-ranked ELAC (South Region Preseason Poll) lost 76-62 to No. 5 (North Region) Sierra College in the championship game.
The two teams are no strangers to big games. ELAC was Elite Eight last year while Sierra made the Sweet 16. The year before, ELAC was the state runner up and Sierra was Elite Eight.
Sierra got revenge for its 74-69 loss to ELAC in the semifinals last year of the City College of San Francisco tourney. The Wolverines did so by outscoring ELAC 20-11 in the second period. An ELAC comeback was squelched in the fourth quarter as Sierra outscored the Huskies 26-22. Sierra took 22 more shots during the game.
Two ELAC forwards had double doubles. Freshman Dominique Godbolt (Fairfax High School) scored 19 points and had 14 rebounds, 11 off the defensive glass. Sophomore Monica Garcia (Garfield HS) also scored 19 points and had 11 rebounds, nine from the defensive boards. Freshman guard Kimberly Peraza (Downey HS), who returns to the squad from the state runner-up team, also scored in double digits with 13 points. Garcia matched Sierra's blocked shots with three.
ELAC won a 75-69 battle against No. 6 Diablo Valley in the semifinals yesterday and won 86-61 vs. Modesto Junior College in the opening round on Friday.
In the win vs. Diablo Valley, ELAC led 37-34 at the half and outscored the Vikings 19-9 in the third quarter. ELAC led 56-43 entering the final quarter. Diablo Valley rallied, but the ELAC defense kept them at bay for the six-point win.
Godbolt had a double double with 18 points and 20 rebounds with an amazing 13 from the defensive boards. Three other Huskies scored in double figures, sophomore guard Teoncea Bennett (Milwaukee, WI / Riverside University) scored 15, freshman guard Jennifer Pool (Legacy HS) scored 14 and Garcia scored 12 points.
The Huskies had four blocked shots, two from freshman forward Marlee Berry (Polson, MT / Polson HS). Pool had a game-high seven assists. She averages 6.0 assists per game, sixth bet in the state.
In the big win against Modesto, the Huskies led 25-11 after the first quarter and 46-18 at the half. ELAC had a season-high 52 rebounds, 15 from Godbolt.
Godbolt averages 16.3 rebounds per game, second best in the state including 10.3 defensive RPG, fifth best in the state.

[ASI] The Kavanaugh Cover-UpsSeptember 4th, 2018 at 10:57 am EDT
|Cliff Kincaid
America's Survival, Inc.
To ASI Supporters:
The Kavanaugh hearings are ignoring the big issues: the Vincent Foster cover-up and Kavanaugh's membership in a criminal enterprise that engages in sexual child abuse and cover-ups.
Nobody wants to touch these sensitive issues. The Democrats are screaming about access to documents, when we already have the Foster documents. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans want to talk about this.
Our new 8-page report, "The Kavanaugh Cover-Ups and Justice in America," is now posted at the top of our home page. The editor of one news site who usually runs my articles said:
This is an eye-opening article…Your article picked at a scab.
Here's my first paragraph:
My previous column, The Kavanaugh Nomination is a Trojan Horse, looks at the failure of the "Christian Right" to stop this nomination. I can't remain silent when conservative Christian leaders rally behind a flawed nominee.
Our Special Report, The Deep State Wears Black Robes, is also available.
By the way, Catholic investigative journalist George Neumayr, author of The Political Pope, has been documenting D.C. Cardinal Donald Wuerl's lavish lifestyle, including a penthouse atop a church in D.C. on Embassy Row with a barbecue deck and a personal chef. A group called Restore-DC-Catholicism has been formed to expose corruption in the church.
I'm asking for your support.
Cliff Kincaid,

We are the Spartans. It's easy to say, but have you ever wondered why the founders of Corvallis High School decided to choose an ancient Greek warrior as our school mascot? After some lengthy research on the Spartans and the qualities and beliefs of their culture, I can see why the Spartans are the perfect representation of our CHS student body.
Spartans are brave. To the ancient people of Sparta, the greatest virtue of society was bravery. Spartans certainly never backed away from a battle or a challenge, and in fact, countless stories from history explain that they ran headfirst into war. Bravery is a quality to admire both in athletics, academics, and other activities at CHS. Our athletes and club members fearlessly charge into competition the way Spartan soldiers charged into battle – determined to take victory in a way no other team ever has before. In academics, CHS students show bravery by pushing themselves and challenging themselves in the classroom.
Spartans are loyal. Spartans put community before themselves. While this might sound excessive, a softer version of the sentiment embodies what any CHS student should represent. In respect to team sports and group activities, students work better together than individually, because they have commonly shared values. CHS students are loyal to their teammates, fellow club members, theatre members, and band/choir members, and the combined efforts lead to success.
Spartans are the best. The legacy of the Spartans has continued well beyond the confines of their time in ancient history. They are still known as one of the best societies of their time, and in turn, the Corvallis Spartans are some of the best, too. Our student body has every reason to be proud of our success, both in the classroom and on the sports field, through life in college, as well as in career pursuits.
The Spartan isn't just a school mascot. It is an idea that embodies the long-standing tradition of bravery, loyalty, and the success of each and every student and faculty member who walks the halls of Corvallis High School.

A description of the adjacent National Park follows;
Triunia National Park will continue to be an important place for the preservation of plants and animals of high conservation significance. These include the endangered and recently rediscovered rainforest shrub Triunia robusta, after which the park is named and Zieria bifida, a small plant found only in the local area. The park will continue to provide a critical resource for the scientific and educational programs that are crucial to the survival of these important species. The park will conserve a representative example of the richness of ecosystems and species that existed across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in the past in an increasingly developed environment. The ongoing implementation of appropriate pest and fire management programs will continue.
First established in 1994, Triunia National Park covers 33.99 ha and is located in the South East Queensland
bioregion in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It is situated about 6 km west of Woombye on the Woombye–Dulong
Road and about 20 km due west of Maroochydore. The towns of Montville and Mapleton are
within a short travelling distance of the park.
Triunia National Park is located in an area that has been extensively cleared for agricultural purposes, including
orchards and grazing. Sunshine Coast Regional Council manages a 20 ha conservation area adjacent to the
eastern and southern side of the park called Triunia (Scientific) Conservation Area, and the Dulong Road Bush
Conservation Reserve to the west of the park. These areas have consolidated wildlife habitat in the immediate
vicinity of the park, and share threats from fire and pests with Triunia National Park.
The park has minimal recreational significance to local residents. It has been managed to preserve its conservation
and scientific values through minimal disturbance and careful application of pest control measures that do not
compromise the natural integrity of the park's native plants and wildlife.
Vegetation is a mix of open forest communities and lowland subtropical rainforest. Brush box Lophostemon
confertus grows in the tall open forest along the ridges and is part of the regional ecosystem 12.12.1 that is of
concern. Other prominent canopy species, grey gum Eucalyptus propinqua, tallowwood E. microcorys and pink
bloodwood Corymbia intermedia also grow along these ridges. Lowland subtropical rainforest (complex notophyll
vine forest) with an uneven canopy to about 40 m extends into the steep gullies, covering 75 per cent of the park.
Lower altitude rainforest of this type has been extensively cleared on the Sunshine Coast, and less than 10 per
cent of its original extent in the South East Queensland bioregion is left. Regarded as the plant community most at
risk on the south-east Queensland coast, this vegetation exists on the Sunshine Coast only as remnant patches.
Triunia National Park contains one of the few remaining rainforest patches of this type on the Sunshine Coast and
it has extremely high conservation values and high species richness, with about 300 recorded plant species. The
park hosts 13 plant species of conservation significance, four of which are endangered, six are vulnerable and
three are near threatened.
The endangered plant species Zieria bifida is endemic to Queensland and is found in only three locations, one of
which is Triunia National Park. Triunia robusta, after which the park was named, is also endangered (until recently
thought to be extinct) and found on the park. Protection and sensitive management of these plants are critical to
their long-term survival in the wild. The vulnerable plant species, macadamia nut Macadamia integrifolia, grows on
the park and is one of the species covered by the Southern Macadamia Species Recovery Plan. Although it is also
grown commercially, its genetic integrity is threatened in wild populations.
Z. bifida grows in the fire-adapted tall open forest and requires specific fire management, while the other three
endangered species, reticulated holly Graptophyllum reticulatum, shiny-leaved coondoo Planchonella eerwah and
T. robusta, are located in the fire-sensitive lowland subtropical rainforest section. Pest plants, especially lantana
Lantana camara and glycine Neonotonia wightii, pose a risk to all the plant species of conservation significance on
the park, but particularly Z. bifida. Illegal harvesting of T. robusta fruits from trees outside the park poses a threat to
the ability of this plant to reproduce naturally within the park as it impacts on seed set and pollination processes.
The main native animal species living on the park are amphibians and birds. Surveys in 1999 and 2000 identified
the vulnerable tusked frog Adelotus brevis and koala Phascolarctos cinereus (South East Queensland bioregion)
as the only animal species of conservation significance found on the park. A protected landscape is critical to the
survival of the tusked frog Adelotus brevis, which relies on water bodies and drainage lines for its habitat. Seven
other frog species have been recorded and their continued survival is threatened by inappropriate catchment
management, the use of herbicides and insecticides on nearby properties, excessive nutrient build-up, degraded
water quality, and habitat modification. Koala numbers have markedly decreased throughout Australia due to
habitat loss from fire, weed effects and clearing, and many populations are now living in isolated patches of habitat
like Triunia National Park. This isolation puts them at great risk of localised extinction. The notophyll vine forest is a
popular habitat for the many species of birds that live on the park. Further threats to all animal species on the park
include dogs, cats, foxes and toads.

HIGHLAND Perthshire campaigners fighting to revive an iconic cinema have taken a major step towards their fund-raising target.
Arts body Creative Scotland is due to confirm today that it will award the Friends of the Birks Cinema group £100,000 towards rebuilding the community facility in Aberfeldy.
Coupled with a similar-sized donation from the Scottish Hydro Griffin Community Fund announced last week, the group has reached 90% of its target – but it has less than three weeks to get to £1.8million.
The group, made up of community volunteers and with a membership of more than 400, has to meet the deadline of Tuesday, January 31.
Charlotte Flower, chair of the Friends of the Birks Cinema group, said: "We are tantalisingly close now, with just under three weeks left to raise the remaining £220,000 and we are making our last big effort now with our remaining funding applications and direct appeals.
"If we cannot raise the remainder the project will not go ahead – it is as simple as that."
A final direct mail appeal to members of the public has gone out this week, and a large number of final appeals have been made to various corporations, local businesses and individuals.
The group must match the Scottish Government Rural Development Programme grant which was awarded last year.
The group reports fantastic support from the local community and from further afield.
It has increased its membership by more than half to 420 members, has held successful local events and has raised in excess from £100,000 from local community fund-raising.
The sale of sponsored seats has also doubled to 26 and FOBC will report on some significant seat sponsorship in due course.

Twitter Makeover Lets You Embed Pics, Videos On Site
A Twitter redesign that's rolling out incrementally alters the layout and lets users post pictures and videos directly on the site rather than just link to them.
Engadget took a look at the remade site and found that not all the changes were for the better:
The in-line content makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Conversation threads are vastly improved, but it only shows one reply back at a time — you can go through an entire timeline, but it takes far too many clicks.
Whether or not it's a good idea to improve the workload for the site's continually beleaguered servers remains to be seen. We'll let you know if we discover whether or not the Fail Whale gets a new look.
Twitter unveils new website with picture and video content embedded on site (update: hands-on!) [Engadget]
