At the end of a long, hard day there's nothing like the sound of a running stream, or crashing waves upon the sand.
What is it about water? The sound is so.....refreshing......the taste is the same.......refreshing....
Jesus offers us living water (John 4:10). He IS the living water.
If the taste and sound of physical water can sooth our minds and hearts. Can you imagine how our souls can be refreshed with Jesus the living water?

Our life together has not been a piece of cake, no storybook romance/fairy tale. We've had a lot of rocky roads. Throughout our six, almost seven years of marriage, we have had many prayer warriors. It is by God's grace, and through our faithful prayer warriors that we are together today.
There was a time where we lived "separate" lives, strangers living under the same roof. No relationship building, no time together. He lived his life, the children and I lived ours.

South Korea The Latest To Introduce Three Strikes Plan
from the entertainment-industry-lobbyists-are-everywhere deptEven with cutbacks, you have to hand it to entertainment industry lobbyists who are able to push through similar legislation around the world. The latest is that South Korea is joining the ranks of countries like New Zealand and France in pushing for a "three strikes" rule that would kick users off the internet after being accused (not found guilty) of unauthorized file sharing. Notice how this works, of course. Just last week, New Zealand officials were defending this plan by saying they were only doing what plenty of other countries had already done (which isn't true, since no one has made such a plan into law yet). But, by getting many countries to introduce vaguely similar laws, everyone can just claim "oh look, it's what country X is doing, and we need to do the same thing to stay current." It's how the entertainment industry has forced legal changes world wide for years.

CHEVY CHASE, Md. — Change is coming quickly to the Boy Scouts of America after years of turmoil and debate over its membership policy, with an openly gay 17-year-old in Maryland achieving the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
On Monday night, Boy Scout Troop 52 of Chevy Chase, one of the nation's oldest, formed a circle and gave Pascal Tessier sustained applause and some handshakes and pats on the back. His achievement comes just weeks after the organization lifted its ban on gay youth and may make him the first publicly gay Eagle approved under the new policy.
Scoutmaster Don Beckham walked to the middle of the Scout circle after a series of announcements and announced that the 17-year-old Tessier was officially the troop's newest Eagle. For Tessier, it represents six years of work, 27 merit badges, and projects in service, leadership, and outdoor skills. He put all that at risk, though, to advocate against the Scouts' ban on gays.

Every watch gives back
A portion of every sale goes to our current chosen charity. Discover the causes we have supported and the fantastic work they are doing.
About this Votch
Our classic collection combines timeless style and design with our signature brushed metal casing across every timepiece. All watches are fitted with quick release straps that are made of highly durable, vegan friendly materials and are easily interchangeable. The straps on this Votch are created from Piñatex, an innovative and sustainable fabric created from pineapple leaf fibres (how amazing?!). Piñatex is a by-product from the pineapple harvest and provides additional income for the farmers growing this wondrous fruit. No extra land, pesticides or fertilisers are used in the production of Piñatex, meaning our straps are not only good for animals, but for this beautiful planet we call home too.
Please be aware that as Piñatex is a natural material we recommend you take extra special care of it. To keep your strap in top condition we recommend using a natural wax such as the clear dubbin that is available here. It's best to leave the waxed strap in a warm location for 24 hours and then buff with a soft cloth. Then tell your strap you love it, because it came from pineapples and we think it deserves to be told.

Will a Votch watch fit me?
Our watches are for everyone and are not gender specific, the strap size is suitable for anyone with a wrist with a circumference of 15 – 21 centimetres.

Please note we cannot accept returns should the strap have been modified.
Can I buy a strap by itself?
Yes you can, please head to the Individual Straps section under Shop on our website.

The watch is not suitable for showering, swimming, snorkeling, bathing and other water based activities. Damages caused under these circumstances will not be covered by your guarantee.

Four Indian women journalists ---Barkha Dutt and Maya Mirchandani of the well-known NDTV,Suhasini Haider of the equally well-known CNN-IBN and Anjali Kamat of the US-based "Democracy Now"---- have distinguished themselves in covering the current on-going conflict situations in Egypt and Libya.
2. The NDTV and the CNN-IBN are well known in India. It is, therefore, not necessary for me to give their background. "Democracy Now", while well known in the US, is not that well known in India. Its web site says as follows : "Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, a national, daily, independent, award-winning news program airing on over 900 television and radio stations in North America. Time Magazine named Democracy Now! its "Pick of the Podcasts," along with NBC's Meet the Press. "
3.Barkha, Maya and Suhasini are well-known to audiences in the sub-continent and hence need no introduction. While Anjali is becoming well-known, there may still be people in India who are not yet acquainted with her background. For their benefit, I am giving herewith her bio as taken from the web site of "Democracy Now" : "Anjali is an independent radio and print journalist from south India. She has lived in Egypt and Jordan and reported on movements for justice across the Middle East and South Asia. Her work has appeared in Corpwatch, Left Turn, and Samar magazine, and national newspapers in India and Egypt (The Hindu, Frontline, Outlook, and Al-Ahram Weekly). In addition to producing Democracy Now!, she co-hosts and co-produces a weekly radio show on WBAI called Global Movements Urban Struggles. Anjali is also the managing editor of the book review section of Arab Studies Journal, a peer-reviewed independent publication. She has an MA in Near Eastern Studies from NYU and a post-graduate diploma from the Asian College of Journalism in Chennai."
4. Many men journalists from the Indian print and TV media---'The Hindu", "Headlines Today", "News x" and "Times Now"--- had also covered the massive protest movement in Egypt and some are now covering the civil war in Libya. I am focusing on the coverage of the four women journalists from India not because it was International Women's Day on March 8, but because in my view the coverage by the four women journalists stood apart from the coverage of their male counterparts----barring Atul Aneja of "The Hindu", who covered Egypt on the spot, but has been covering Libya from his field headquarters in Dubai. The coverage by the four women journalists was professional and substantial and of high quality. I had a feeling---I may be subjective---that the coverage by their male colleagues has tended to be more drama than substance barring the exception of Atul.
5. It would be unfair to compare the performance of our journalists in conflict situations in foreign territory with that of their counterparts from foreign media outlets such as the "Guardian" of the UK, the "New York Times" and the "Washington Post" of the US, the CNN, the BBC, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya. The kind of material and human resources which journalists of such foreign media outlets can mobilise are not within reach of Indian journalists -- men or women.Foreign media outlets have a long tradition of foreign news coverage and have a permanent presence in many countries of the world. This is of great advantage to their journalists from headquarters venturing out into foreign territory to cover conflicts. The local staff do the spade work and then the journalists from headquarters follow. We saw that even in East Libya. Some of the Western journalists to reach the conflict area first were from their Cairo offices or from their offices located in the Middle East. Others based in the headquarters followed them later.
6. Journalists of Indian media outlets---excepting possibly "The Hindu" and the "Times of India" --- do not have this advantage. This is particularly so in the case of the TV media. None of them, to my knowledge, has any permanent presence abroad staffed by people from their homeland. They just can't afford them. So, when a conflict as in Egypt and Libya suddenly breaks out journalists such as Barkha, Maya and Suhasini have to literally grope their way in from New Delhi without the advantage of any spadework having been done by others based in the field. This requires tremendous courage and initiative for which we must salute them instead of indulging in petty-minded snide remarks.
7. Some of my readers have asked me: Your focus is mostly on the coverage of Barkha and Maya from the NDTV. You have never referred to the coverage of Suhasini and Anjali. Let me answer in the case of Anjali first. It is true that I do not pay the same attention to her coverage as I do to the coverage of women journalists who go out into conflict situations from India. There are two reasons. Firstly, Anjali covers from the US perspective. I am more interested in the coverage from the Indian perspective. I want to look at what has been happening in Egypt and Libya through Indian eyes keeping in view the Indian interests. Barkha, Maya and Suhasini provide those Indian eyes. Secondly, Anjali, I notice, has been living in Egypt and Jordan off and on. I also notice ---I will be happy to stand corrected if I am wrong--- that during her first foray into East Libya she was accompanied by two Egyptians. Her local knowledge and local assistance give her an advantage which none of the Indian journalists going out from India has.
8.Even at the risk of being considered unfair, I would like to make a distinction between the coverage of rebel-controlled East Libya by Barkha and her NDTV team consisting of Ruby Dinghra and Manoj Thakur, and the coverage of Government-controlled areas from Tripoli, the capital, by Suhasini Haider. Travel to rebel-controlled areas and reporting from there without any back-up support, when needed, by Indian diplomatic missions requires greater courage and initiative.
9.Indian journalists are not strangers to conflict situations. Barkha made her name with her brilliant coverage of the Kargil conflict. Many Indian journalists did equally brilliantly in covering conflict situations in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. However, not many have ventured into the Taliban-controlled territory in Afghanistan where even not many Western journalists go because of the unacceptable risks involved. To my knowledge, this is the first time that Indian journalists have ventured into conflict areas in foreign territory far away from India without the advantage of any local assistance.
10. The rape of an American woman journalist in Egypt highlighted the extra dangers faced by women journalists volunteering to cover conflict situations. In this context, the action of Barkha and her team in volunteering to to go into the epi-centre of the Libyan civil war showed remarkable courage and needs to be applauded. There is a need for journalism institutions in India to make case studies of the coverage of conflict situations by our journalists---particularly women--- in order to see what lessons could be drawn.
11.The coverage by these women journalists and the remarkable feed-back to their coverage from viewers in India clearly show a growing interest in foreign news coverage---particularly in conflict areas--- from the Indian perspective. How to encourage this interest and cater to it on a permanent basis and not in an ad hoc manner is a question that needs attention from our news channels. (9-3-11)

Uncharted Movie To Begin Filming In 2015
In a new interview, director Seth Gordon details the production timeline for his movie adaptation of Naughty Dog's Uncharted game series.
In an interview with Zap2It, Gordon said shooting should begin "...very early next year. That's the plan."
He also talked a little bit about the game's settings, and said that the shooting would take place "all over the world."
Gordon is also still looking for a lead actor to portray Nathan Drake after Mark Wahlberg dropped out of the project after the departure of director David O. Russell.
Gordon said, "I want it to be a great actor. That's number one, and then if it's someone who has an actual jaw, that's even better. The game is so well done that you need it to live up to that. There's no way we'd do the inverse of that where it's somebody famous who can't [act]."
"It's going to honor the mythology of the game," said Gordon. "But I would say honor some of the most interesting stuff from the first one and build from there," he says. "There's some stuff that isn't in the game."
[Source: Zap2It]
Our Take:
While I'm a bit concerned with the fact that this is the third director attached to the project, Uncharted is one of the game series that seems most suited to the big screen.

As the man in charge of Spider-Man's Hollywood destiny, producer Avi Arad knows better than most that with great power comes great responsibility.
In the wake of director Sam Raimi's popular trilogy of "Spider-Man" films starring Tobey Maguire and produced for Columbia Pictures by Arad, a decision was made to re-launch the franchise less than a decade after it first came to the screen with this week's "Amazing Spider-Man." Arad – the former CEO of Toy Biz who became the chief creative officer of Marvel Comics and later Marvel Studios from 2002 to 2007 before exiting to start his own production company – stayed at the web-head's executive helm, handing the creative reigns over to director Marc Webb and his team and helping him land the new leads Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.
Arad tells PopcornBiz about why the new team was the right one to weave Spider-Man's next cinematic yarn, and just how far ahead the new franchise has been planned.
I imagine that the decision to start fresh with Spider-Man wasn't an easy one. So what was key about this take that made you want to do it?
For me, it was always the origin of Peter Parker, because in order for us to love Spider-Man we need to understand Peter Parker. And Peter has a story that is so relatable – not only to kids, but to all of us. Because the age when we really get screwed up starts when it happens to Peter. And that was a story that felt it would be great to open that saga. And obviously we have a new girl, a new villain, but the most important thing here is 'Who is Peter Parker?' And how good is this that a kid like him got the power?' And that's what made it work.
What sold you on Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone to be the new faces of 'Spider-Man'?
Well, Andrew is the full package. He's funny. He can be awkward. He can be romantic. He's definitely charming. He's a great athlete. So it helped us to do things in a more visceral way. We knew Emma, and Emma is just – she's going to be one of the greats in world cinema, because she's a comedienne, she's a dramatic actor, she's strange, she's just so smart. And that really helped for this dynamic.
Marc Webb says now he's going to wait and see how he feels in a little bit about directing any kind of sequel. How much thought on your part has already gone into what you want to do in the new franchise?
A lot. We are writing the next one, which will be in 2014.
And you're working with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci on that?
Yeah. And so our commitment is there, and we hope that Marc will feel the same way. He needs a couple of days off and it will help. [Laughs]
Why were Alex and Bob the right guys for the job? I mean, they certainly know their way around big film franchises, for sure…
That's one. Two: because we are very comfortable with them, and they're fun-lovers. The way the story's built, it's a search. It's a quest by a boy, by a man. We are all missing something. How do we go about finding it? So what we are going into the future? We are gonna have great stuff coming up!

Baked macaroni & cheeze
It has been a long time since I ate Kraft dinner. Not to say it wasn't good, because that florescent orange cheese powder was good, until I realized what was in it.
I have changed my ways, since I was 14. After school going over to friends houses, and munching a bowl topped with ketchup. This is a much better healthier option and might I add tastier! It still needs ketchup....
Baked Macaroni & cheeze
4 cups macaroni noodles-cooked
2 tbsp earth balance butter
2 cups soy milk
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp prepared mustard (the yellow kind)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 slices of bread-cubed
1 tbsp earth balance-melted
Cook macaroni according to package.
While pasta is cooking, in a blender combine all seven ingredients.
Drain macaroni and mix in butter. Pour the blender ingredients into pasta.
On medium high heat, stir until thickens ( usually a minute or so).
Pour into greased 8x8 cake pan.
In a small bowl combine bread cubes and melted butter. Stir until coated.
Spread over top of macaroni. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or just until bread cubes are toasted.

WOW! Going to make this tongiht! This looks scrumptious!ReplyDelete
Yummmm... looks good! Especially with the ketchup. Childhood memories are flooding back ;)ReplyDelete
This looks so delicious!!ReplyDelete
Cool Deborah! Let me know how it goes.ReplyDelete
hehehe Nikki, that is what I use to eat all the time back in the days.
Thanks Jennifer :)
This looks so yummy...due to allergies, we can't eat soy. Do you think rice milk might work with this, or is it too thin? We also can't have nuts...so no nut milks for us. Coconut milk is okay, but I think that would probably taste dreadful in mac & cheese!ReplyDelete
I think it might work using rice milk, because the thickening agent cornstarch will probably work as you heat it up. You never know till you try...ReplyDelete
I just made this, and it was soooo yummy! Thanks!ReplyDelete
look amazingly delicious. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

By Ronnie Burt on TheEdublogger.com / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Lately, we've been hearing more and more about digital copyrights and fair use in the news and online – particularly with the whole SOPA/PIPA uproar that recently swept the web.
Also, we on the Edublogs support team have been getting more and more complaints and official requests to remove copyrighted content that users have placed on blogs.
The legal jargon with respect to digital copyrights can be confusing – especially since different countries have their own laws and regulations.
With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online.
Rule #1: You Can't Use Everything You Find On the Web
This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.
Edublogs News – The International Blog Directory
If you and your students keep rule #1 in mind, then everything else should be fine.
Rule #2: There Are Resources You CAN Use
One of the myths out there is that you can't use any image, video, or content from another website on your blog.
That simply isn't true, and we'll cover our favorite sources of "fair use" and "public domain" sources at the end of this post.
It is troubling that while copyright is important to protect the hard work of others, it can also stifle creativity and hamper educational goals. Though SOPA is effectively dead at the moment, there is a legitimate need for newer laws that are built around the open and free-sharing nature of the web.
Understanding Fair Use
You might be aware that as educators, we have a few more flexible rules, called "Fair Use", to play by.
That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.
For example, a video that was purchased in a store can usually be shown in a classroomwhen the video is tied to the curriculum being taught. Otherwise, showing a class full of students a video would be considered a "public performance" and would be against the law.
The trouble is, most of the laws and rules that cover fair use and education were written well before the invention of the web.
While a textbook or curricula resource might allow for photocopying for classroom use, it most likely isn't going to allow you to make a PDF of the document and put it on your class blog or website for students to print themselves.
The end result would be the same, right? A student would have a printed copy.
But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you've scanned to the web!
For more, check out the Fair Use FAQ for Educators here from the excellent resource site, TeachingCopyright.org.
What Can Be a Violation?
Here are the most common types of content that we have been contacted about and asked to remove on our blogs:
- Images – mostly found through google image search
- Curriculum docs – especially handouts and student activities
- Text and quotes – copy/pasted from other websites (even with a link or attribution it still may not be legal)
- Music – usually mp3s that students have uploaded to share on their blogs
But I Won't Be Caught…
If only that were true.
Google makes it incredibly easy for companies and content creators to seek out those posting their work on the web.
Sadly, we are also noticing more and more "law firms" and organizations out there looking for copyrighted content as a way of generating business. They then contact the copyright holder offering their services to get the content removed (for a fee of course).
It is a ruthless (and apparently profitable) practice, and we'd be lying if we haven't argued with a few that contact Edublogs about how they are hurting the education of students. But let's keep on topic…
What If I Am Caught?
Well of course in this case a good offense is your best defense. Check your blogs and class websites for any potentially offending material. If you find anything, just remove it.
The law requires copyright holders to give you (and the host of your site, such as Edublogs, WordPress, etc.) an official notification. Take these seriously and act quickly to remove what they want if you are in the wrong. That should be the end of it.
We were recently notified about a teacher with a blog on Edublogs that had a harmless world map image on his blog that he had presumably found using Google image search. When we contacted him telling him why we had removed the image, he asked if he and his students could write an apology letter to the copyright holder.
It was excellent – turning what could be a bit of an embarrassing mistake into a teachable moment for his students! Now this teacher had a good reason to discuss copyright and creative commons with his students…
So What Is Creative Commons?
One thing to look for when figuring out if a resource (ie. image, video, text, etc.) is free to copy or embed on your blog, is a Creative Commons license.
For example, look at the bottom right corner of the sidebar of this blog. You'll see that we license all content on this blog as "Attribution – Non-Commercial – Share Alike".
That is fancy talk for letting you know that you are free to use anything on this blog as long as you:
- give an attribution or credit that lets others know where you got the info with a link,
- won't profit in any way from using our content and use it for non-business purposes only, and
- anything you create with our content, you must use the same license.
Luckily, the CreativeCommons.org website has a ton of excellent information and makes it easy to grab the license you wish to have on your own blog. If you (or your students) have blogs, then it is a good idea to choose the most appropriate license and make it visible on your blog.
In our case, we pasted the code they provided into a blank text widget in our sidebar.
Where To Find The Goods
Creative Commons Search – Search many sites at once *Our Favorite!
StockVault.net – Free images from photographers around the world
Kozzi.com – One free photo per day
FindIcons.com – Huge resource for avatars or small images
Flickr Advanced Search – Use advanced search filters to show only CC licensed images
You are free to embed any video from YouTube, Vimeo, WatchKnowLearn, etc. on your blog or website as long as it gives you the embed option.
That being said, you (or your students) can't necessarily use parts from videos on YouTube (or other sources) to make mashups or as part of another video. Be sure to have permission to use any video that you are cutting, making changes to, or adding to a project.
Curriculum and Text
Wikipedia – Quote away (with a link back) to any information you find on Wikipedia
Curriki – An open curriculum community
Collaborize Classroom Library – A growing resource for discussion questions, lesson plans, and more
You won't be able to add student resources from most textbook companies or purchased curriculum – so be careful and make sure you have permission before doing so!

Canon PIXMA MG7560 All-In-One Cloud printer
Orange. That's the colour of the Canon PIXMA MG7560 that we were sent to review, and it sure made some people in the office mad. "Great printer, but I want it in black", they said. Clashing home decor issues aside, the PIXMA MG7560 is indeed a great printer that can produce stunning quality for photographs and colour documents.

Maybe Britney Spears knows what she's doing.
All four of her teen acts sailed through into the top 12, including Diamond White, who after first being cut by Britney was deemed too darn talented to be let go
And boy did she sparkle last night, pulling off Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" like it was, well, nothing.

"X Factor" live performance night recap
Instead, the first viewer vote of the season resulted in Jason Brock and CeCe Frey singing for their lives for a shot at continuing in the competition.
As far as we're concerned, Jason deserved to stay after belting out "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and CeCe delivered a shaky version of Cher's "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me."
Diamond White talks comeback and more "X Factor" backstage scoop
But the judges deadlocked and America agreed with Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell that Jason's time was up. So, L.A. Reid became the first judge to lose a team member at the behest of the fans.
"I want to say, I did it for the gays and Japan," the visibly disappointed showman said good-naturedly. "But I'm really happy to have been here."
No Rachel Crowe-style theatrics there.
Do you agree with the voters (and Simon and Demi) that it was Jason's time to go, or were you pulling for him against CeCe? Sound off in the comments!

It's the time of year when it's fun to take visitors to the market. Friends who don't typically shop at farmers' markets will be overwhelmed by the amount of produce that we have available locally and in season, and will be sure to go home with a bag full of summertime delights. The market is bursting at the seams with color and flavor and scents, and it's an exercise in restraint to decide where to spend my budget.
My strategy during this time of abundance is typically to find out what products are going to be around for a little while, and then to prioritize from there. Okra have just begun to show up in the market and as much as I love them, I decided that I can probably wait a couple of weeks to have them due to their season. I decided the same for eggplant—it will be around for a while, so I passed it up for other produce this week.
Beans of all sorts have made their appearance at the market. Catalan Family Farm is selling the gorgeous beans of all colors that you see in the photo above, and Dirty Girl Produce has brought cranberry beans for shelling and romano beans for braising.
What's New On Serious Eats
I picked up poblano peppers this week to make rajas: a chile sauté with onion and cheese that's great in tacos and quesadillas. I like to also add potatoes to my rajas to make a complete vegetarian filling. I bought the poblano peppers above from Knoll Farm—a local farm that is known for bringing fabulous produce to market. Rick Knoll was featured in an NPR segment this week talking about his amazing figs (which will be at market in the next couple of weeks). It's an interview worth listening to just to hear Rick talk about how sexy a fig is—an opinion I happen to share.
A fun product available at the market this week is fresh garbanzo beans. The beans pictured above are from Catalan farm, and have already been destemmed and deleaved. If you've ever purchased large stems of garbanzo beans, you'll appreciate the work that went into the ones from this farm—it's a long, arduous process to deal with them. At this point, the beans can be steamed in pod and popped out like edamame. The flavor is milder than dried garbanzo beans, and deliciously delicate.
The Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market now has a Thursday market that is causing quite a stir among the food community. Vendors of all sorts come together to create sustainable, prepared, "street food" from roast beef sandwiches to peanut butter bacon brownies to Korean barbecue tacos. It's a fun time, and is sure to gain in popularity as the summer goes on.

More questions are being raised about the agendas of Evangelical lobby and campaign groups in universities after it emerged that Exeter University's Evangelical Christian Union issued proceedings against its own students' union and university - although it was aware that the sanctions they were protesting against were no longer in force.
The student Guild banned the Evangelical Christian Union (ECU) and froze one of its bank accounts because it did not meet the Guild's equal opportunity code, in October.
As reported by Ekklesia, Evangelical lobby groups had been raising funds for a legal battle since then, and the CU rejected offers of mediation.
ECU council member, Ben Martin, brought the suit on January 5 and announced it to the media. He has now admitted however to the Times newspaper, that the religious group had been informed by the Guild that the temporary ban had lapsed and that all privileges had been reinstated.
In a press release he was previously quoted as saying that if the Guild reversed its decision and reinstated the CU as a full society, then he and others would meet with the Guild and look afresh at how its Equal Opportunities policies related to religious societies.
He has now told the Times that he feels the ban would be imposed again, despite the Guild's assurances that no decision had been taken. "Based on the experience of the past nine months, the ECU has no confidence or trust in the integrity of the Guild," he said. "We received no formal written confirmation of anything, all we had was a mobile phone conversation."
In October the ECU was temporarily banned while the Guild carried out an audit into their membership rules. The audit was completed and the suspension expired on December 12, the day before the university Christmas holiday. The ECU claims it was not told that this had occurred until January 4.
Jemma Percy, President of the Student Guild, insists that the ECU knew the ban was temporary and that the Guild was willing to discuss the situation with the ECU before taking any action. "We were happy to negotiate, and continue carrying on a constructive dialogue," she said. "We made an offer to skip all the back-and-forth letter writing steps and call in someone external that all of us agreed on to review the case. We only became aware of this suit through the media."
The offer of mediation followed the publication of a report on the situation by the thinktank Ekklesia which recommended such a course of action. The report was publicly welcomed by the National Union of Students (NUS).
The report raised questions about the role of Evangelical lobby and campaign groups external to the Evangelical Christian Union, and their agendas. It suggested that their involvement could be escalating the conflict rather than contributing to its resolution.

She has a broken second toe on her right foot. And her left ankle is swollen to twice its size. But General Hospital star Kelly Monaco wasn't going to let anything stand in the way of performing a contemporary routine on Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars with her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.
Monaco broke her toe earlier in the day during camera blocking. "We had three takes in rehearsals and she broke it on the first take," says Chmerkovskiy. "But she didn't tell me. And the second take, I said, 'Come on, we need more.' And she's quiet. And just did her thing. Then we had a break and she said, 'Oh, by the way, I broke my toe.'"
"I couldn't walk, so I knew something was wrong," says Monaco, 36. "And then it went black and blue all over and puffed up. I had someone look at it. But there's nothing you can do with a broken toe. You just tape it up and call it a day."
Or you would, if you didn't have to compete in a couple of hours in front of 12 million people. Monaco toughed it out, and even though she ended her routine in tears, it seemed to have little to do with her broken toe, and everything to do with the relationship developing between Monaco and Chmerkovskiy, 26 and 10 years her junior.
While the two refuse to define what's going on between them ("no labels," says Val), Monaco talks about Val "breaking down my walls." After their dance Monday night, Chmerkovskiy carried her down four stairs to stand next to host Tom Bergeron and get their judges' comments. Then, when that was over, he picked her up again and carried her to the skybox to debrief with co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet. (The pair scored 37.5 points, third best of the night.) After the show, taking questions on the press line, she snuggled in Chmerkovskiy's arms, standing only on her left foot.
Ask Monaco what she was feeling during the routine and she says, "It was really raw and emotional and accurate and truthful. Val is helping me learn how to trust again."
When asked if she feels all of those emotions every day at her soap job, she shakes her head with a firm no: "There's a certain place it comes from when I'm telling someone else's story [on the soap]. But this is my story, our story. It's coming from a much different place."

I have to say though, that 80% penetration is uncommon, and will produce better results than most "real game" scenarios. 70% is more typical. In fact, at 80% penetration, his average bet will actually be somewhat larger since so many "20+" counts will occur in that extra 10% of penetration.

East Rockaway school, closed by Sandy damage, to reopen
East Rockaway Junior-Senior High School will welcome back students on Monday, exactly six months after superstorm Sandy shuttered the building.
The school suffered $10 million in damage from the storm, which flooded the building with 5 feet of water, ruining its gymnasium, locker rooms and library. Students have been attending classes at two Baldwin schools that had been closed.
Monday's return will be an emotional day for students, especially seniors, who will spend their final few weeks of high school back in the renovated building, said Superintendent Roseanne Melucci.
"It was very traumatic," Melucci said. "Our objective was, as quickly as possible, to get the students back into an instructional environment and repair the building."
The district has paid for some of the repairs with insurance and hopes to cover the rest with Federal Emergency Management Agency dollars, Melucci said. Anything not covered by FEMA would be paid through a bond anticipation note, she said.
The closure of the high school, and damage suffered at Rhame Avenue Elementary School, forced the district to shuffle most of its 1,300 students.
Seventh- and eighth-grade students have been attending the former Milburn Elementary School in Baldwin, while ninth- through 12th-graders have attended the former Shubert Elementary School in Baldwin, Melucci said. Both schools were rented by East Rockaway.
Rhame Avenue Elementary was closed until mid-December due to flooding damage. During rebuilding students were doubled up at Centre Avenue Elementary School, Melucci said.
Staff renamed the combined Centre and Rhame Avenue schools "the CARE school," Melucci said.
"I'm really proud of our students, our staff, for the way they have managed this really difficult situation," Melucci said.
The high school's large gym and its kitchen will not be ready to reopen Monday, but the school is "going to work around that," Melucci said.
School equipment will be moved from the Baldwin schools to the high school over the weekend, Melucci said. Monday's reopening will be a delayed day, with the school opening at 10 a.m., she said.
