NEW YORK A conservative scholar behind a high-grossing documentary that condemns President Barack Obama is under investigation by the evangelical college he leads over a report he took a woman who is not his wife to an event on Christian values.
The Kings College board announced the review the same day the conservative Christian news magazine WORLD reported event organizers had confronted Dinesh DSouza about sharing a hotel room with a woman he introduced as his fiancée.
DSouza filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie DSouza, a few days after the conference, California court records show.
The event, Truth for a New Generation, was held the weekend of Sept. 28 in South Carolina.
In a brief phone interview with The Associated Press, DSouza, who became president of The Kings College in 2010, said he and his wife have been living in a state of separation for two years. He denied sharing the hotel room with the other woman.
Obviously, I wouldnt have introduced her as my fiancée if I thought we were doing anything improper, DSouza said, adding they have called off their engagement.
The college, which was located in the Empire State Building before moving this year to lower Manhattan, aims to shape young Christians as future leaders in all sectors of society.
DSouza is a former policy analyst under President Ronald Reagan and a prolific author known most recently for his critical works on Obama. He directed the film 2016: Obamas America, based on his book The Roots of Obamas Rage.
The film was condemned by many critics, including Newsdays Rafer Guzman, who called it an attempt at character assassination. But it has become one of the most successful political documentaries ever released.
The Kings College board chairman, Andy Mills, has known about DSouzas marital troubles for at least two years, spokesman Mark DeMoss said.
While our board had been aware of some of these details, we were not aware of others, the board said in a statement.
The board said it held a conference call Monday with DSouza and plans to review the situation during its previously scheduled meetings on Wednesday and Thursday in New York.
In the meantime, it said, be assured we take seriously our charge to teach a compelling worldview rooted in the Bible and expect all of our leaders to model Christian character and integrity in their public and private lives.

SAN ANTONIO – The RAM 1500 EcoDiesel is the first half-ton pickup on the market with a diesel engine in decades. It gets 20 miles per gallon overall in Consumer Reports' tests. That's the best fuel economy Consumer Reports has ever recorded in a full-sized truck.
Compare it with the Chevrolet Silverado's 16 mpg and the current Ford F-150's 15. And the gas-powered RAM 1500 with a Hemi V8 also gets just 15 mpg.
Diesel fuel does average 20 cents more per gallon. And RAM charges a premium for the diesel engine, about $2,800 more than the RAM with a Hemi V8. But if you drive the average 12,000 miles per year, you'll save about 200 gallons per year with the EcoDiesel engine.
Consumer Reports says that it will take you about four years to recoup your initial investment of the diesel engine, but in general, diesel vehicles hold their value better than gas ones do. And the diesel gives you more torque for towing a trailer.
Plus, the RAM 1500 rates very high in Consumer Reports' performance tests. Its unique coil-spring rear suspension delivers a smooth ride, and the interior is quiet, with a very easy-to-use infotainment system.
The RAM 1500 EcoDiesel is now Consumer Reports' top-rated pickup.
Be aware, there is a little additional maintenance with a diesel vehicle. You have to refill the emissions fluid around the same time you change your oil, but you can do that yourself for around $40.

The following is a Guest Blog, contributed by Bryce Kaiser, Product Manager at Blue Medora
When I envision a perfect datacenter, it would consist of technologies acquired from a single vendor across the entire server, middleware, application, network, and storage stack - Apps to Disk - that meets your organization's every IT requirement with absolute best-of-breed solutions in every category. To quote a familiar motto, your datacenter would consist of "Hardware and Software, Engineered to Work Together".
In almost all cases, practical realities dictate something far less than the IT Utopia mentioned above. You may wish to leverage multiple vendors to keep licensing costs down, a single vendor may not have an offering in the IT category you need, or your preferred vendor may quite simply not have the solution that meets your needs. In other words, your IT needs dictate a heterogeneous IT environment. Heterogeneity, however, comes with additional complexity. The following are two pretty typical challenges:
1) No End-to-End Visibility into the Enterprise Wide Application Deployment. Each vendor solution which is added to an infrastructure may bring its own tooling creating different consoles for different vendor applications and platforms.
2) No Visibility into Performance Bottlenecks. When multiple management tools operate independently, you lose diagnostic capabilities including identifying cross-tier issues with database, hung-requests, slowness, memory leaks and hardware errors/failures causing DB/MW issues.
As adoption of Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) has increased, especially since the release of Enterprise Manager 12c, Oracle has seen an increase in the number of customers who want to leverage their investments in EM to manage non-Oracle workloads. Enterprise Manager provides a single pane of glass view into their entire datacenter. By creating a highly extensible framework via the Oracle EM Extensibility Development Kit (EDK), Oracle has provided the tooling for business partners such as my company Blue Medora as well as customers to easily fill gaps in the ecosystem and enhance existing solutions.
As mentioned in the previous post on the Enterprise Manager Extensibility Exchange, customers have access to an assortment of Oracle and Partner provided solutions through this Exchange, which is accessed at http://www.oracle.com/goto/emextensibility. Currently, there are over 80 Oracle and partner provided plug-ins across the EM 11g and EM 12c versions. Blue Medora is one of those contributing partners, for which you will find 3 of our solutions including our flagship plugin for VMware.
Let's look at Blue Medora's VMware plug-in as an example to what I'm trying to convey. Here is a common situation solved by true visibility into your entire stack:
• My database is bogging down, however the database appears okay internally. Maybe it's starved for resources?
• My OS tooling is showing everything is "OK". Something doesn't add up.
Root cause
• Through the VMware plugin we can see the problem is actually on the virtualization layer
• From within Enterprise Manager -- the same tool you use for all of your database tuning -- we can overlay the data of the database target, host target, and virtual machine target for a true picture of the true root cause.
Here is the console view:
Perhaps your monitoring conditions are more specific to your environment. No worries, Enterprise Manager still has you covered. With Metric Extensions you have the "Next Generation" of User-Defined Metrics, which easily bring the power of your existing management scripts into a single console while leveraging the proven Enterprise Manager framework.
Simply put, Oracle Enterprise manager boasts a growing ecosystem that provides the single pane of glass for your entire datacenter from the database and beyond.

The sadly necessary introduction:
Please forgive the clumsy introduction. It is, like many things that involve sushi, a necessary evil. I am not, what they call in the business, 'equity.' And really only about 20 people know who I am or who I may be. That, strangely, is not what's important. It is worth noting that I am not a critical food reviewer. Outside of eating and writing I have zero qualifications to be one, and a strong argument can and has already, in fact, been made that those two skills are not actually skills, but rather things I happen to be able to do. The possibility, the opportunity came about when a friend commissioned me to write this piece. Many thanks to him for his inspiration and for taking a chance on a very little known writer-er. Before we delve into the review I thought the following would be beneficial to both the reader and myself. May it serve as your guide, or Itamae as It were:
The guiding element:
As critical food review is a new area for me to explore I found it necessary to abide by some principles, namely, that a competent food critic is one who can apply food and food writing to certain rules; the obvious problem being what are the rules?
I will not list the rules as that's insulting to you, the reader. They will emerge, some may require teasing out a bit more than others, but it should not be difficult to understand what is going on, where the structure is coming from and what it is becoming, but it is worth taking a minute and examining the rules as function.
Now, while rule-following may seem restrictive, I assure you that it is quite the opposite. It requires creative interpretation of the rule(s) and is not easy to say whether or not I am actually applying the rule (of course I am, as it is part of the framework to guide critique). Furthermore, who's to say that I am, in fact, actually not following the rule(s). After all, application of a rule is not a technical, formal affair. Many times it involves simply not doing something, or preventing something from entering the conversation, or even forcing something into the conversation. In applying a rule you have to account for reality and in reality a rule exists if only to be reducible to conformity and interpretation. To sum up, I did not set rules only to break them as I explored this new avenue of critique, but to challenge the institution of food critiquing as I see it and feel it needs to be challenged and possibly even reinvented. It's also very much worth noting that 'the institution of the food critic' is one I have no idea about, so basically, I'm just throwing around concepts and adding 'food' here and there. We'll see what happens.
The Process:
My intentions were to take a tertiary approach: Ranking three different classes of grocery-store sushi (7-11, mid-level grocer, and finally a high-end, insufferable Fox & Obel type grocer). I settled on mid-level grocer. The reason, well, three separate 7-11's and not one of them sold Sushi. If you can't have the low-brow, why settle for the high?
I compromised by embracing the middle. I figured this would be the most pertinent, as it would be the arena with which most of society can relate. Also, let's face it, if you're buying sushi at a 7-11 you're an asshole and it should go without saying that if you shop at one of those high-end grocers you're an asshole and a moron. Really though, after the first attempt I found no reason to further explore grocery store sushi any longer.
As I set out I was not looking to present another interpretation of grocery-store sushi, but rather further add to the discussion and understanding of grocery-store sushi as it is currently perceived.
The Process;
Subsection, The Purchase:
I cannot say I was expecting much at the grocery store, regarding sushi. I certainly was not, but I was surprised to be so underwhelmed. There were only a few selections: Hawaii Poll (sic); California Roll; Tuna Roll; Spicy Tuna Roll; Misc. Sushi Sampler. A lot was left to be desired.
With only a few options, I figured this would be easy, but I entered a rather contemplative state, a most unexpected thing. Really, a terrible thing. I was so turned off by my options I just stood there staring at them for at least 10 minutes. It was akin to the feeling you used to get at the video store and you cannot decide which movie to rent and every time you pick one up you end up putting it back for a different title only to return to the previous movie 20 minutes later and picking that up and then putting it back for yet another movie you selected just five minutes earlier; a pattern that repeats ad nauseum until you become so anxious and embarrassed at the length of time that you've spent at the video store that you ultimately leave with nothing just so as not to encounter the clerk who has been watching your frantic movie search in jest for the last 45 minutes now. That's what this felt like, only there was no movement, only me, standing, frozen and staring at sushi, attempting to pick the least offensive choice.
Somewhere around the 10 minute mark it finally dawned on me that I was looking at this far too particular when, in fact, what it demanded was a broader approach. My obsessive focus on what to choose overriding the act of choosing, my inability to see the sushi as other than 'object' would rule out any possibility to move my analysis into social practice. So, I said 'fuck it,' grabbed the Hawaii Poll (sic) and checked out.
The Process:
Subsection; The Eating:
At this point it matters very little what the method of eating is. There are those who will tell you there is a certain way to eat sushi and a certain way not to eat sushi. I find that insufferable. Specifics like those lead to a revolt in critical analysis. Things needed to be tidied up there and they were. This instance is no different, and my decision to forego this portion of food analysis may be one of my greater contributions. Really, what are we accomplishing when we cannot reduce eating to eating?
The Sushi, First as Object:
It would be irresponsible of me to not actually talk about the sushi itself though. With much resistance, I have decided to include this as this is an instance where the 'object' becomes a necessary point of focus. Sushi, for many, is largely representative of the failings of ideology. Here is where I disagree with that common perception. Sushi is nothing if not raw, unfiltered ideology. It is dangerous, yes, but it is not a failure. Those who disagree with me often cite that danger is itself a failure (see Roe v Wade, I might be citing the wrong case here). Danger is, in fact, not only not a failure, it is a purity. Meaning it exists despite itself and despite its relation to others around it. Yes you can argue its relation to soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger make it inherently dependent as an object, thereby negating its purity. But should you believe that, does sushi not include those very three things you use to argue against its purity, is it not those things that are dependent upon sushi? Again, this is where specifics fail you and why a broader approach is necessary. You cannot look at sushi without looking at soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger.
The Verdict:
The Sushi, Now as Subject:
The Big Finish:
This might seem reductive, but really, if you've been paying attention you should not be expecting much more than 'it was good' or 'it was bad.' Certainly there demands to be more insight than this, but not much more, as this approach does not concern itself too much with whether or not the sushi was indeed good. The sushi is only about itself, it is its own narrative. Sushi transcends 'object' status to 'subject' status regardless of its quality, making it an affront to common sense.
That being said, the sushi was awful. The rice was dry and mealy. The tuna and salmon could not even be tasted. I questioned whether or not there was actually fish in there. A question I would receive an answer to 20 minutes after I finished eating and would continue to be reminded of for the next two-plus hours. That more than anything is why 'the sushi is bad.' Normally you don't have to wait that long before tasting something you just ate, nor do you still taste it for as long after you ate. A pleasant aftertaste goes a long way towards deciding a good meal, but it should not go a long way. I did not vomit the sushi, should I have done so I would indeed need to write another piece about that (lucky for us both). Then again I have vomited only once since I was twelve years old and that was due to food poisoning. Vomiting requires certain learned muscle actions taken by the body and should one go long enough without using those muscles the memory is often forgotten. I believe that to be the case with me. A simple case of forgotten memory sparing me intermittent moments of violence throughout my life. I have not always been grateful for that and am unsure where I stand on that issue after eating that sushi. Should it remove the unpleasant taste I dealt with for nearly three hours would a few moments of wretchedness be a fair trade-off? I would like to believe so, but it's been so long I find I am not qualified to answer that question.
I do, however, feel qualified to offer the following advice:
Don't buy shitty grocery store sushi. It tastes like shit and will likely either have you vomiting or wishing that you were if only for the hope that it might bring some satisfaction into your life.
N.B. I'm single and derive pleasure from very little in life.
I do know a few things though. Chief among them, spend more than $5.99 on your sushi. In fact, only go to a proper sushi restaurant. Some things demand they be done correctly and with the right pieces. Some things demand the extra money be spent. Sushi is this. It is also more than this, but more than anything else, it is this. Grocery store sushi, while dangerous as ideology is sadly dangerous in other ways too.

Executive Summary:
SQLScripter is a free SQL Server tool that you can use to quickly and easily automate the generation of database schema. You can use SQLScripter to perform many tasks, including tracking schema history using an automated job. SQLScripter runs on SQL Server 2005 and requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
I'm going to introduce you to a free tool called SQLScripter, a command-line utility that you can use to quickly and easily automate database schema scripting tasks, such as script generation for disaster recovery or as part of the development process for checking in the database schema. The manual process of using the GUI to generate a schema is slow, tedious, and prone to mistakes. SQLScripter addresses all these problems by transforming database schema generation from a slow, manual process into a fast, automated one. SQL Scripter improves on SQL Server Management Studio's (SSMS's) Generate SQL Server Scripts Wizard by eliminating the requirement that you have to use the GUI to manually build the exact composition of the objects you want scripted.
Using SQLScripter
SQLScripter was written by Yaniv Etrogi, a SQL Server developer and DBA living in Tel Aviv, Israel. Yaniv wrote the tool while developing a high-availability solution for a replicated environment. The subscriber needed to be up-to-date with the publisher's work so that in the event of a disaster the subscriber could take on the role of the publisher.
You can run SQLScripter as a SQL Server Agent job step of type "Operating system (CmdExec)" via the Windows Task Scheduler, from a batch file, or by manually executing the utility from the Windows command prompt. You can control the tool via its configuration file, SQLScripter.exe.config, which uses parameters to manage all aspects of the schema script generation. You can configure the utility in a variety of ways. For example, you could configure SQLScripter to be executed on Server1 to script out a set of objects on Server2 and direct the output to a path and file on Server3. SQLScripter's biggest benefit is that it provides an easy way for you to automate schema script generation from within SSIS jobs.
SQLScripter uses trusted connections when connecting to local and remote servers. Note that you can't use it to script encrypted database objects. Upon completion, SQLScripter terminates with a return value of 0 on success and 1 on failure.
You can scope the schema script generation by instance, database, and object type. You can also script out server-level objects such as jobs and roles. You must declare on Output Path, where the script file is stored as a local path, mapped drive, network drive, or by its Universal Naming Convention name. Of course, the account executing SQLScripter must have permission to create folders and files at Output Path. To script objects, the user must have SELECT permissions or otherwise be able to "see" the object to be scripted. You can use a .zip file to store the schema generation script that's created and specify a password for the .zip file to secure it.
Benefits: You can use SQLScripter to quickly and easily automate database schema scripting tasks.
System Requirements and Notes: SQL Server 2005; Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2000 and later; the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
How to Get It: You can download SQLScripter from www.sqlserverutilities.com/download.htm.
You can use SQLScripter to perform many different tasks, including
• migrating a database schema between production, quality assurance, and development environments
• keeping the latest schema in source control • tracking schema history regularly using an automated job
• creating a script quickly and easily to drop and create all indexes for fill factor maintenance and defragmentation
• scripting out important server-level objects before the installation of an upgrade, service pack, or hotfix to ensure the recoverability of jobs and extended stored procedures
System Configurations
SQLScripter was developed using SQL Server 2005 and uses the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, including SQL Server Management Objects. It runs on Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2000 and later. It was tested primarily on SQL Server 2005 in 32-bit environments, but it might work (unsupported) in 64-bit environments.

The first thing that comes to mind when I look at the latest IDC Mobile Phone report is: who is buying all of these phones? Is cell phone turnover that high these days? Also take into account that these are just quarterly results.
Top 5
1. Nokia
2. Samsung
4. Apple
5. Research In Motion
Despite the number shipped (110 million) Nokia is in trouble and they've been in trouble for a while now. The Symbian OS is flawed and it's traditional European stronghold market is under fire from increased competition. Nokia has the most to lose. Unfortunately the good old days are over. Keep building quality phones, cut staff, and other costs, ditch Symbian, and learn to live with a smaller market share.
The biggest gains will come from Apple (obviously) as they continue to penetrate new markets and sign agreements with local carriers. They aren't concerned so much with overall units shipped in comparison to profits. So long as they continue to sign profitable agreements with international carriers willing to bend to their will, Apple will continue their methodical approach to entering certain countries.
Research In Motion (RIM) is also looking good. While they aren't going to be number 1 with their current phone offerings they are positioned well to stay in the top 5. The handset viewed as the business person's smartphone is a strong competitor to the Apple iPhone. Growth should continue but not as the same rate as Apple.
Expect Samsung and LG's numbers to drop going forward. While Samsung might hang on in the short term with the success of the Galaxy line it won't for long. I would expect compelling handsets from HTC and Sony Ericsson to put a dent in their units shipped.
For consumers, let's hope cheaper, non-contract phones flood the market for our hard earned money. New features, cheaper voice and data plans, and don't forget, awesome phones.

Yesterday was a great day. How could it not have been when it started with cheesecake? Yes… I had cheesecake for breakfast. Don't judge. When you see the fabulous ingredients to this raw cheesecake, you will understand. It is a delicious, nutritional powerhouse. In breakfast form:
I added 1 cup of plain greek yogurt to a bowl and topped with a small piece of whole grain blueberry almond bread (recipe to come!) and the filling from a slice of raw blueberry cheesecake. DELISH.
I'm not very familiar with raw cooking, I mean…. raw preparing? But making this cheesecake was so simple! It is basically a matter of blending things together and layering them in a dish and refrigerating.
It never would have occurred to me to make raw blueberry cheesecake if Dorry hadn't given me a special request for it! Thanks, Dorry! If y'all ever have a recipe request, PLEASE let me know. I always need inspiration!
Raw Blueberry Cheesecake
Recipe: Makes 1 mini pie (2-4 servings)
For a full sized pie, triple the recipe.
For the crust –
2 1/2 dates
1/2 cup almond flour
dash salt
For the filling –
1/2 cup blueberries (if you are semi-local, I highly recommend Rhythm and Blueberries. They are simply the freshest, juiciest berries I have ever laid my paws on)
1/2 cup cashews
1 tbsp coconut oil, liquid
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp NuNaturals baking blend stevia (or 1 tbsp sugar/1 tbsp honey/4 drops stevia)
pinch salt
if needed to blend, 1 tbsp date water
Directions –
Place the cashews in a bowl and the dates in another bowl, and cover with warm water. Let soak for at least 2 hours. Drain the cashews. Save the date water.
Pit the dates and add to a bowl with the almond flour and salts. Use your hands to combine the almond flour and dates until you have a paste. Alternatively, you can use a food processor (but I dont have one). Press the mixture into the bottom of a small pyrex container (or pie dish if you are tripling the recipe). Store in the fridge.
Combine the blueberries, drained cashews, salt, stevia, coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a blender and blend until smooth. If it is extremely thick, add 1 tbsp of the leftover date water. Taste it to make any minor adjustments (like adding more sweetener, cashews, or perhaps a spice like cinnamon, if desired). Pour and scrape with a spatula the filling on top of the pie crust. Let sit in the fridge or freezer before serving to thicken. If you freeze it, let it thaw a bit before serving. Enjoy!
warning: the filling is seriously addictive
I also received a package from the UK in the mail yesterday. At first, I was a bit confused and even a little bit worried. As I opened the seal, I remembered the UK-USA blogger swap I participated in! Jemma from Celery and Cupcakes hosted the swap this month and I got paired with Jasriana from Almost Over Now. I sent her over some of my favorite bars and she did the same plus two beautiful handmade paintings of owls. Now I know why she asked me my favorite animal. 🙂
Thank you Jasriana and Jemma! The swap was so much fun! Id love to do it again.

Note about the Lesson Notes
Our server is currently not processing the Notes form. Please do not use the Notes feature of the lessons. We hope to have the problem corrected soon. For the present you will need to use the old fashioned way of taking notes, with pencil and paper.
Read for This Week's Study:
|Exodus 20; Isa. 5:20; John 15:10; Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18; Eph. 5:1-21; 1 John 5:2, 3; 2 John 1:6.
Memory Text:
| "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light"
Paul continues his exhortations on a life that will be "worthy of the calling" (Eph. 4:1, NIV) by telling us to undertake the Christian walk in all seriousness (Eph. 5:1-21). One doesn't have to read very far in Paul before one can see just how seriously Paul takes the Christian walk. Paul knows nothing about cheap grace. Though we are saved by what Christ has done for us, we must live in response to the salvation we have been given in Jesus. We have a new life; we now have to live that new life as God commands.
In the texts for this week, Paul provides five contextual reasons for such a walk: love, judgment, light, wisdom, and fullness of the Holy Spirit. Though devoting only a few words to each, Paul, nevertheless, clearly sets out what is expected of those who once walked in darkness but now are in the light.
The Week at a Glance:
|What does walking in love mean? How stern a warning did Paul give regarding the judgment upon unrepentant sinners? What does it mean to walk in light as opposed in darkness? What is the difference between walking wisely and walking foolishly?
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, December 3.

Walk in Love
"Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma" (Eph. 5:1, 2, NKJV).
Believers are called to be imitators of God. God in Christ is our model in everythingin ethics, in suffering, in obedience, in work, in prayer, and, above all, in love. So, we are admonished to "walk in love."
At least three principles emerge from the words of this text.
First, Christ's love is selfless. It is agape love: a love that is based on principle, not on emotion; an outgoing love that centers on meeting the needs of others even though they are undeserving of it. God's love is such that He demonstrated "His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8, NKJV). To walk in love is to love the unlovable.
Think about someone unlovable. What tangible things can you do to start showing this person love? Why not commit now to doing it?
Second, Christ's love is sacrificial. Christ is the supreme example of sacrifice. He bore the cross of shame and gave up His life in order that humanity might be redeemed (2 Cor. 5:21). To walk in love is to abandon self in order to minister to others. "Discipleship means allegiance to the suffering Christ, and it is therefore not at all surprising that Christians should be called upon to suffer."Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship (New York: Macmillan, 1963), p. 101.
When was the last time you actually suffered in behalf of someone else? What does your answer tell you about yourself and the changes you need to make?
Third, Christ's love is reconciling. Christ reconciled all broken relationships and brought complete unity (Rom. 5:10, 2 Cor 5:18). To walk in Christ's love is to be ministers of His reconciliation.
|In what ways have you seen the power of love bring reconciliation? Think of an example you can share with the class.

Walk in View of Judgment (Eph. 5:3-7)
Read Ephesians 5:3-7 and then answer the following questions:
What are the specific sins Paul warns about?
In what ways are all these sins violations of the Ten Commandments (see Exodus 20)?
Notice how Paul contrasts these sins with his admonition to "walk in love" (Eph. 5:2). Why are these sins the opposite of walking in love? See also Neh. 1:5; Dan. 9:4; John 15:10; 1 John 5:2, 3; 2 John 1:6.
Look at the warning Paul gives in Ephesians 5:6. Given the context, what do you think those "vain words" were about? See also 1 John 3:7.
One of the great tragedies of life is to live as though God does not exist or that it doesn't matter if He does or not. Such an attitude fosters a life that is restricted to the present with no thought for the future. But the biblical view of life projects that history is moving toward an ultimate point when all humankind shall be held accountable before God's judgment (2 Cor. 5:10, Heb. 9:27). Final accountability to God is inescapable, and Paul warns that as surely as the love of God appeared for the salvation of humanity, so surely "the wrath of God" will appear "upon the sons of disobedience" (Eph. 5:6, NKJV). The divine wrath is divine judgment against evil and its children. Because of this certainty of judgment, Paul appealed to the believers, "Do not be partakers with them" (vs. 7, NKJV). With whom? Verse 6 speaks of those "with empty words." These were false teachers still clinging to their pagan philosophy, denying the reality of sin and a final judgment for that sin. No wonder Paul warns them to stay away from such people and their philosophy, for they go counter to the truth as it is in Jesus. Paul expresses horror at these false teachings and calls those responsible as "sons of disobedience" upon whom will fall "the wrath of God" (vs. 6, NKJV). As far as Christians are concerned, the apostle pleads that among them there should not be even a hint, a thought, or a joke concerning such sins.
|If you look at the kind of sins that will bring judgment, Paul said nothing about adultery or murder, the more "serious" sins. Instead, he talks about such things as jesting and covetousness. What should this tell us about the nature of even these sins?
|November 29
Walk in Light (Eph. 5:8-14)
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light" (Eph. 5:8, NKJV).
Having defined the Christian life as walking in love, with a view of the impending judgment, Paul now turns to a third aspect: walking as children of light. In keeping with his style, he provides another contrast: Once you were children of darkness, now you are children of light (Eph. 5:8).
While darkness represents the old life, light stands for the new. The apostle recognizes that believers have moved from darkness to light (vs. 8). Since conversion they have become light in the Lord; that is, reflectors of the character of the One who said " 'I am the light of the world' " (John 8:12).
Oftentimes we tend to equate "light" with intellectual knowledge, knowledge of facts, and "darkness" as ignorance of facts. And though there's some truth to this idea, read over Ephesians 5:8-14 and answer this question: What does Paul equate walking in the light with? More specifically, is it dealing only with head knowledge or with the moral life and the conduct of a Christian? Why is this answer important?
Notice, too, Paul is so firm about living a life free from moral taint that he not only admonishes us to stay away from those who do evil but he also calls upon us to reprove them.
Read carefully Ephesians 5:13. How does that help us understand how we might reprove evil without having to open our mouths? See John 3:20.
|Have you ever known anyone whose lifestyle, demeanor, and character acted as light that reproved your darkness? How did you respond? Did you accept the silent reproof with humility and repentance, or did you flee the light or even fight against it by, perhaps, calling it darkness? See Isa. 5:20.
|November 30
Walk in Wisdom (Eph. 5:15-17)
Our Christian walk, Paul has told us, must be different from that of the world. We ought to walk according to love. We must be mindful of the judgment to come in all we do. We should take care that we walk in light. Now Paul adds another dimension: walk with wisdom.
The Bible talks a lot about wisdom. In the following verses, what kind of wisdom is being talked about? 1 Cor. 1:20, 21; 3:19; 2 Cor. 1:12. What are examples of this kind of wisdom?
In contrast to this kind of wisdom, Paul, in these verses, talks about a different kind of wisdom, a different kind of knowledge. As seen earlier, this kind of knowledge isn't mere head knowledge, a knowledge of facts, however useful and helpful and "good" those facts could be. Instead, the whole context here places knowledge in the context of what we do. The wise do correctly, the ignorant do foolishly, regardless of how much intellectual knowledge either one has.
How does Paul in Ephesians 5:17 describe what it means to be "unwise"? How do these following verses help answer that question? Ps. 111:10, Prov. 1:7, Isa. 33:6.
The world exists only because of God; everything that exists does so only through the will of God. It's no wonder, then, that knowledge would consist in knowing the will of God, at least as much as we are able. Though there is much about God and His will we cannot know, we can know that His will for us is that we live pure, holy lives, lives that reflect His love and His character. This is true wisdom. Thus, some of the "smartest" people in the world live in the grossest ignorance and darkness.
|Ephesians 5:15 tells us to walk "carefully" (RSV) so we are not "fools" (vs. 17, NEB) but wise. What practical things can we do that will help us not to be "fools"?
|December 1
Walk With the fullness of the Spirit (Eph. 5:18-20)
To the four elements of the Christian walk, Paul adds the final and, perhaps, the most operative element: "Be filled with the Spirit" (Eph. 5:18). Believers filled with the Holy Spirit will have His empowerment to walk the Christian way in love, in light, in wisdom, and in the sense of the coming judgment. Enlightenment and empowerment are two of the great blessings that come from the indwelling Spirit.
Read Ephesians 5:18. Why do you think Paul used the example of alcohol there? What point is he making? See also Rom. 6:16.
If we are to be "filled" with the Spirit, how much room exists for anything else?
After telling them to be "filled with the Spirit," what does Paul then tell them to do? See Eph. 5:19-21. How are all these things related?
If someone were to ask you, "Have you received the Holy Spirit?" what would your answer be? What would you present as evidence of your having received the fullness of the Spirit?
|December 2
Further Study:
|Walking in love. "All who are imbued with His Spirit will love as He
loved. The very principle that actuated Christ will actuate them in all their
dealing one with another.
"This love is the evidence of their discipleship. `By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples,' said Jesus, 'if ye have love one to another.' When men are bound together, not by force or self-interest, but by love, they show the working of an influence that is above every human influence. Where this oneness exists, it is evidence that the image of God is being restored in humanity, that a new principle of life has been implanted."Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 678.
Discussion Questions:
| Based on Sunday's lesson, share, as a class, examples
of the power of love bringing reconciliation between either groups or individuals
who were previously in contention. What lessons can we learn from these examples
for ourselves?
"Let no one deceive you with empty words"-that is, false teachings (Eph. 5:6, NKJV). What are some of the false teachings currently disturbing the Christian faith, and how would you handle them?
Discuss the question of what "holiness" is. Is it more than `a mere adherence to the law? Can you be a strict follower of the law and still not be holy?
As a class, take time together to do what Paul tells believers in Ephesians 5:19, 20 to do. Sing some songs and have people give testimonies of thankfulness to God. When done, ask "What benefits do we get, as believers, by praising God and openly giving thanks? Why should we make a habit of doing this?"
Discuss the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom (see Wednesday's lesson). Are they necessarily in contradiction with each other? Can worldly wisdom ever help us better understand godly wisdom? If so, in what way?
|I N S I D E Story
|A Sacrifice of Love
by SETRA RATSIMBA
Setra is a teenager living in Madagascar. When he was little, his father took him and his five brothers and sisters to church every Sabbath. Setra's mother was not an Adventist. When Setra was seven, his father died, and no one took the children to church. The family struggled to survive on the little money his mother could earn sewing for the neighbors.
A few years later Setra's neighbors invited the children to attend Sabbath School again. Once more Setra and his brothers and sisters walked one hour to Sabbath School on Sabbath. When he was old enough, Setra joined the baptismal class and was baptized. One by one his siblings stopped attending the church, leaving Setra to worship alone.
On Sabbath everyone got up early. Setra went to Sabbath School, and his brothers and sisters went to the fields to work. Often he remained at the church until sundown so he could attend all the meetings and not be under the influence of secular music or talking.
On Sunday while the other members of the family rested, Setra gathered wood to sell in the marketplace. Then, because his mother was getting too old to work, Setra washed the family's clothes at the river. Sometimes he was tempted to grumble that he had to do women's work, but he decided to make scrubbing his family's clothes his sacrifice of love. Alone at the riverside, Setra sang praises to God as he dipped the clothes into the river, sprinkled soap powder on them, then scrubbed them by hand. He prayed as he rinsed each piece and wrung it dry. Then he sang as he carried the laundry home and laid it on the grass to dry.
Setra does not mind working on Sunday. He is grateful that his brothers and sisters allow him to worship God on Sabbath. Setra asks that the worldwide church pray that he will remain faithful in Jesus and that his family will turn their lives over to God.
SETRA RATSIMBA is 18 years old. He lives in a small town near Antananarivo, Madagascar.

|The Gift of
and God's Remnant Church
Read for This Week's Study:
Memory Text:
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:17, NKJV).
|The remnant theme first appears
with Noah and his family
7:23), and resurfaces in the history of Israel. The apostle Paul
refers to a remnant
11:5) that was then constituted of Jews who had accepted Jesus and
who later became the nucleus of the Christian church. In the book of Revelation
a remnant appears in the churches of Thyatira
2:24) and Sardis
3:4), and also in
12the subject of our study this week.
Gods faithful remnant was not always a visible remnant; that is, from the early days up to the last days, God has His faithful ones in different faiths, which is why the call is made: Come out of her [Babylon], my people (Rev. 18:4). Nevertheless, there is a specific depiction of Gods remnant in the last days.
The Week at a Glance:
What do the symbols in Revelation 12 represent? What events in history can be seen as a fulfillment of this chapter? What is the meaning of the phrases the testimony of Jesus" and "the spirit of prophecy"?
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, January 24.
|January 18
Good Versus Evil: Act 1
Read Revelation 12:16. Whats happening here?
Revelation 12 introduces the great controversy between Christ and Satan in symbolic form, and describes its progress from the time of Christ to the time of the end. In verse 1 John sees a dazzling sighta pregnant woman, clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet (NKJV), and wearing a crown of 12 stars. He calls the appearance a great sign (NKJV), indicating that the woman is more than a mere woman. She is a symbol for the church, or for Gods faithful people (see Isa. 54:5, 6; 2 Cor. 11:2). The woman's dazzling appearance links her to Jesus, the Sun of righteousness (Mal. 4:2, Rev. 1:16).
According to Revelation 12:6, the woman flees from the dragon into the wilderness, where she is taken care of by God for 1,260 days. What is this talking about, and what do the 1,260 days symbolize? Dan. 7:25, Rev. 12:14, 13:5.
Until the nineteenth century, most students of prophecy used the year-day principle here, and so they understood the 1,260 days to refer to the time of persecution of the church during the Middle Ages, a period of 1,260 years.
And with good reason, too. First, the whole section is filled with symbols that arent taken literally, so why should the time element be taken literally, as well? Second, the various time phrases used in Daniel and Revelationtime and times and half a time (Dan. 7:25, 12:7, Rev. 12:14, NKJV), forty-two months (Rev. 11:2, 13:5, NKJV), and one thousand two hundred and sixty days (Rev. 11:3, 12:6, NKJV)are not the natural way of expressing a literal three and a half years (see Luke 4:25 and James 5:17). For these reasons and others, Seventh-day Adventists (in contrast to most other Christians today) interpret the 1,260 days as 1,260 years, and see it as a reference to the period of papal supremacy from the sixth to the end of the eighteenth century.
|What are some of the common symbols prevalent in your own society and culture? What purpose do they serve? Whats the advantage (and disadvantage) of them? How do you use symbols in your everyday life? How does the way symbols are used around you help you better understand the way the Bible uses symbols?
|January 19
Good Versus Evil: Act 2
Revelation 12:7-12 is an interlude in the story; it focuses on the fall of Satan in heaven and his being cast down to the earth. Hence, we are given a glimpse into the origins of the great controversy as it began in another part of the universe. The back-and-forth between heaven and earth should tell us how closely tied events in one impact events in the other. Truly, we are in the midst of a cosmic battle!
Revelation 12:1317 picks up the story from verse 6 and describes in symbolic terms the persecution of the Christian Church, first by the Roman Empire and later by the apostate Roman Church. What do the symbols here represent?
In these verses, a flood of water is sent against Gods people, a symbol of persecuting armies (Jer. 46:7, 8; 47:2; Dan. 9:26). In contrast, in Revelation 12:16 the earth is described as helping the persecuted church. In 1620, the first pilgrims, fleeing the religious persecution in Europe, arrived on the American continent. On this newly discovered continent they found a safe haven where the persecuting armies of the European powers could not reach them. Thus, symbolically, the new continent America swallowed up the persecuting armies.
In Revelation 12:17, we are now in the time after the 1,260-day period (which ended at the close of the eighteenth century). Satan, seeing that he was unable to wipe out God's faithful people, is angry with a particular group called the rest of her offspring (NKJV) or the remnant of her seed (KJV).
Read carefully Revelation 12:17. What is the first identifying mark of this special remnant? How do these following texts help us understand what the commandments of God mean? Matt. 24:20, Rom. 3:31, Eph. 6:1, James 2:911, 1 John 3:4.
How much simpler could God have made it? This end-time remnant will be distinguished, first of all, by the fact that it keeps the commandments of God, all of them, which of course includes the seventh-day Sabbath.
|How firm are you in your own mind regarding Gods call that we keep His commandments? How can you be sure that the Lord commands us to keep them? How do you respond to arguments against keeping the commandments, especially the Sabbath?
|January 20
The Testimony of Jesus
The second identifying mark of the remnant church is the testimony of Jesus (marturia Iesou). This expression occurs six times in the book of Revelation (Rev. 1:2, 9; 12:17; 19:10; 20:4, NIV).
What is the meaning of the phrase the testimony of Jesus in the following texts? Rev. 1:2, 9; 19:10; 20:4, NIV.
Two grammatically possible explanations concerning its meaning have been put forward. The first view interprets the testimony of Jesus as mans witness for Christ (NEB, RSV). The second view understands the testimony of Jesus as the self-revelation of JesusHis own testimony (NIV, NKJV).
A study of the word testimony in Johns writings indicates that each time it appears in the same grammatical construction as in Revelation, it always refers to Jesus own testimony (John 1:19; 3:11, 32, 33; 5:31). In contrast, the idea of witnessing about somebody in John's writings consistently is expressed by a different grammatical construction.
In the book of Revelation, therefore, the expression testimony of Jesus also should be understood as Jesus testimony about Himself, and not the remnants testimony about Him. This is borne out by a study of the texts in Revelation themselves. Revelation 1:2 says that John bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus. Thus, the word of God refers to what God says and is parallel to the testimony of Jesus. Thus, the word of God is simply what Jesus says; it is the testimony that Jesus gives about Himself.
The same is true in Revelation 1:9. John introduces himself and states his credentials and says that he is on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. The parallelism between the word of God and the testimony of Jesus is again clearly discernible. Thus, according to the principle of interpreting scripture with scripture, every text in the book of Revelation where the phrase testimony of Jesus appears always refers to Jesus own testimony.
|How has Jesus revealed Himself to you? Would you like to know Him better? Whats the only way you can?
|January 21
The Spirit of Prophecy
Revelation 19:10 says, For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. In all of Scripture the phrase spirit of prophecy appears only in this text. What does it mean? 1 Cor. 12:810, 28; Eph. 4:11.
The closest parallel to the phrase spirit of prophecy in the Bible is found in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10. There Paul refers to the Holy Spirit, Who gives the gift of prophecy among other gifts (charismata); and the person who receives this gift is called a prophet.
Now, just as in 1 Corinthians 12:28, those who have the gift of prophecy (verse 10 of the same chapter) are called prophetsin Revelation 22:8, 9, those who have the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10) are also called prophets.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10, NKJV).
I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Then he said to me, See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God (Rev. 22:8, 9, NKJV).
The situation in both passages is the same. John falls at the feet of the angel to worship. The words of the angels response are almost identical, yet the difference is significant. In Revelation 19:10, the brethren are identified by the phrase who hold to [have] the testimony of Jesus (NIV). In Revelation 22:9, the brethren are called simply prophets.
If the Protestant principle of interpreting scripture by scripture means anything, this comparison must lead to the conclusion that the spirit of prophecy in Revelation 19:10 is the prophetic gift, which is given not to church members in general, but only to those who have been called by God to be prophets.
This is not purely an Adventist interpretation. Lutheran scholar Hermann Strathmann says about brothers who have the testimony of Jesus (NJKV) in 19:10: According to the parallel 22:9 the brothers referred to are not believers in general, but the prophets. . . . If they have the marturia Iesou [the testimony of Jesus], they have the spirit of prophecy, i.e., they are prophets.Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, vol. 4, p. 501.
|January 22
The Remnant Church
From our study thus far, we understand that in Revelation 12:17 the rest of her offspring (NKJV) refers to Gods visible remnant church that can be recognized by two specific characteristics: (1) they keep the commandments of God as God has given them on Mount Sinai, including the Sabbath commandment; and (2) they have the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the Spirit of prophecy, or the prophetic gift.
The Sabbath-keeping Adventist movement, from even before its organization in 1863, always has claimed these identifying signs for itself. As Adventists we proclaim the Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath; and we believe that as a church we have the testimony of Jesus; that is, that God manifested Himself in the life and work of Ellen G. White.
Thus, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is not just one church among many. It is a church prophetically foreseen. God has called this church into existence for a very specific purposeto proclaim the three angels messages to a dying world.
Read Revelation 14:612. What is happening there that helps us understand some of the characteristics of Gods end-time people? What elements come into play, and in what ways are we justified in seeing ourselves and our calling there?
As Seventh-day Adventists, we believe that we are members of God's remnant church. However, this identification with the remnant church does not accord us an exclusive status with God. You can be part of this corporate remnant and still be lost. Salvation is not guaranteed through membership in any church. We are saved as individuals, not as a church. Its a great privilege and responsibility, being part of this church, because we have a sacred calling; but being a member of this church no more guarantees salvation than being a Hebrew in ancient Israel did (Jer. 8:20).
What is your only guarantee of salvation, and how can you have it as your own?
|January 23
Further Study:
|Read Ellen G. White, IntroductoryThe Spirit of Prophecy,
pp. 7-16 in The Spirit of Prophecy,
vol. 1; Historical Prologue,
pp. vii-xxxii in Early Writings.
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. Whitethe Lord's messenger. Her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested.Seventh-day Adventists Believe . . . (2nd ed.) (Nampa, Idaho: Pacific Press® Publishing Association, 2005), p. 247.
A study of the idea of the remnant in the Old Testament reveals a few interesting characteristics. Perhaps the most important one is that all through the Bible, the remnant were those who were living with more light than others. Noah had the light about the coming flood. Abraham had the light about the true God. The nation of Israel was worshiping the Lord in the sanctuary, while their pagan neighbors were sacrificing children on their altars or bowing down to statues of cats and bulls and other animals. In short, the idea of the remnant had more to do with a revelation of truth and of Gods character than with the holiness of those who had that knowledge. The point? As expressed in Thursdays lesson, being part of the remnant means only that you have great light, and with that light comes important responsibilities. It does not mean you automatically have salvation; nor does it mean that those who arent part of the remnant are lost. Its an unfortunate fact of sacred history that many of those who were part of Gods remnant not only failed to live up to the light they were given but oftentimes rebelled against it.
Discussion Questions:
| What important message is found in
12:48 for those who believe that they are part of the remnant church?
The claim that we are the remnant church can sound very arrogant and exclusive. And yet, why does it make sense that God would have a special people with a special message in the last days? Or does it? Discuss.
If being in the remnant does not guarantee salvation, then whats the advantage of being part of it?
|I N S I D E Story
|I Love to Preach!
by ARNEL BLANC
I didn't grow up in the Adventist Church. But God led me to this church in a wonderful way.
A Protestant pastor in town knew a little about Adventists, but he refused to acknowledge their teachings. Then he had a dream in which God told him to preach the fourth commandment or risk being lost forever. The pastor preached the Sabbath truth in his church, and I accepted the message.
Several months later I was baptized and started preaching. Preaching, for me, was my gift to God, and He blessed my efforts. An Adventist leader in the area urged me to study theology at the Adventist university. So I enrolled.
During school breaks, I returned home and preached and gave Bible studies. During one of my home visits, I studied with a young woman who was baptized. We were friends, but neither of us had any idea that it would go beyond that. Then God spoke to her and showed her that we were to be married. She resisted, but God persisted, and in time we married.
We now work in an exciting area. Our town is a political hot spot in Haiti. Sometimes things get so tense that people fear to leave their homes. But even during these tense times, people come to our evangelistic meetings. We preach and pray, and hundreds come. After one meeting 72 people were baptized! This difficult area has yielded more baptisms in a given year than anywhere else in Haiti.
I love evangelism! I want to preach and evangelize so that everyone in our area will know that Jesus is coming again.
I have eight congregations; the largest has 400 members. But there are still places where we have no Adventist believers. My wife and I have a burden to reach those areas, to bring God's light to the dark corners of Haiti.
In Haiti we have one Seventh-day Adventist for every 28 people! Yet there are places where not one Adventist lives. Haitian people love the gospel, and many Adventist laypeople want to reach out and preach to those who do not know that Jesus is coming again. But the political and economic situations here make it difficult to reach these people. We want Jesus to come soon, and we ask that you pray for the people of Haiti and continue to help us reach them for Christ through your mission offerings. Then we will be ready for Jesus to come. Hallelujah!
PASTOR ARNEL and JUQUELANDE BLANC share their faith in southern Haiti.

The primary emphasis of Lincoln's animal science research is centered on goat and hair sheep production systems. The main programs areas are footrot and parasite resistance selection, grazing performance, and reproductive efficiency. The general objectives are to establish genetic footrot disease resistance in hair sheep with DNA marker assisted selection, divergent selection for internal parasite resistance in goats, improving grazing efficiency, and reducing embryonic waste in small ruminant animals. These studies are highly integrated between research, extension, and education at Lincoln University as well as cooperation with other universities.
Footrot resistant sheep (Tumen Wuliji)
Foot rot is a highly contagious disease, infecting sheep, goats, cattle, and some wild ungulates. The focus of this project is to conduct genetic screening, identification, and DNA marker assisted selection of foot rot resistant genotypes within hair sheep breeds or flocks, and establishing a line of sheep with high resistance to foot rot disease. Resistance heritability and other correlated parameters in relation to the gene marker or immune response parameters will be estimated. The project has implemented its initial breeding plan and gene marker screening tests for the base flocks. Genetic selection for foot rot resistance in sheep may result in developing a strain of sheep that are able to thrive and perform better in the Midwestern farming environment.
Parasite resistant goats
Goats are popular with small landowners and fit well into forage-based production systems in the central United States, including Missouri. However, goats are particularly susceptible to infection by gastrointestinal parasites. Traditionally, parasites have been controlled using commercial chemicals, but there are increasing concerns about parasite populations developing resistance to these chemicals. A research project has been initiated to utilize the host animals natural or acquired immunity through a selection program to increase the level of parasite resistance. Genetically selecting goats for improved parasite resistance may provide producers with a novel option for alleviating the negative effects of parasitism, may reduce commercial chemical dependence, and would be compatible with the modern trends toward sustainable agriculture production.
Small ruminants grazing efficiency
The most promising alternative to feeding stored feedstuffs is to extend the grazing season. However, much of the tall fescue used for stockpiling is infected with the endophytic fungus Neotyphodium coenophialum (E+) that negatively impacts animal performance despite its good nutritive value. There is limited research that has been conducted to provide information about benefits and utility of stockpiling E+, NE+, or Persist orchardgrass for small ruminants. This project is to investigate the effect of forage type (E+, NE+, and 'Persist' orchardgrass) on forage quality, quantity and, persistence; and evaluate growth and reproductive performance by small ruminants grazing either stockpiled E+, NE+, or 'Persist' orchardgrass. This project also helps to discover the susceptibility goats and sheep have to endophyte toxins, especially with regard to performance and reproductive losses in these animals.
Reducing embryonic loss in goats (Aimee Wurst and Charlotte Clifford-Rathert)
Embryonic and fetal mortality are large sources of economic loss in the livestock industry. Although current estimates of embryonic and fetal wastage in goats are similar to those found in sheep studies, detailed real-time evaluations of pregnancy loss have not been conducted. This project involves real-time ultrasonographic examination of pregnant does throughout gestation in order to discover embryonic and fetal loss patterns in goats. Current results support earlier findings that embryonic and fetal wastage in goats may be a significant problem for some herds. Further, preliminary data suggests that these losses occur at a different rate than those found in sheep, and that losses seem to primarily occur relatively late in pregnancy.
LH detection in sheep
This project is to develop a nanosensor for accurate and sensitive detection of luteinizing hormone (LH) in ewes and does. The calorimetric nanosensors consist of gold nanoparticles conjugated to an anti-LH antibody. Nanosensors based on gold nanoparticles can detect LH in femtomolar quantities in real time, thus providing an opportunity to detect the appropriate time to breed. This approach will offer a unique nanoparticle mediated modality for the detection of LH. This nanosensor has the potential to be highly beneficial and could result in increased use of artificial insemination by small farm family operations.

Police: Shooting suspect told sister he killed 2
Authorities say the Iraq War veteran charged in the shooting deaths at a Texas gun range told his sister that he killed two people.
Erath County Sheriff's Capt. Jason Upshaw said Monday that Eddie Ray Routh drove to his sister's house in Midlothian after the shootings on Saturday and told her that he killed two people.
On Sunday, Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Routh told his sister "what he had done." Bryant did not provide more information at the time.
Routh faces one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the deaths of former Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield.
Routh, a member of the Marine Corps Reserve, is being held at the Erath County Jail on $3 million bond.
