GARY | A 51-year-old teacher was arrested at West Side Leadership Academy on Wednesday afternoon after refusing to stop yelling and using profanities, according to police.
Charles Willis faces charges of disorderly conduct and intimidation.
Police working security at the school said they learned of a disturbance between two teachers at 4:30 p.m.
Officers found Willis yelling at another teacher and using profanities, police said. The officers repeatedly asked Willis to quiet down and leave the building as a crowd was gathering, but he refused, police said. He was placed under arrest.
Gary Community School Corp. spokeswoman Charmella Greer said Thursday afternoon that she could not comment because the case is a personnel issue.

Preseason - Jungle
We were extremely pleased with Season Two, but we think there's room to make the League of Legends metagame even better. As we head into the preseason, we're rolling out some big changes to items, the jungle, summoner spells, and masteries all aimed at providing you with more strategic options and an even greater roster of champions across all roles. This will be an iterative process, and we'll be making changes and incorporating your feedback throughout the preseason, but here's a preview of what's to come.
We're making changes to the Season Three Jungle to increase jungler diversity, reduce the pressure on early game lanes, and give junglers a greater presence in team fights.
In Season Two, the most desirable junglers had high area-of-effect damage, late game utility, and ganking presence. For Season Three, we want to open up the playing field to allow champions with other strengths to share the spotlight. By redistributing the total hit points in the wolf, golem, and wraith camps to favor the large monster, we're making it easier for single-target champions to keep up with their AoE counterparts.
Similarly, fast-clearing junglers were able to pour on the pressure early in the game with constant ganking. To combat this clear-and-gank rhythm, jungle monsters now gain health and damage at a more aggressive pace as the game progresses. Similarly, the gold and experience rewards also increase at a faster rate. This forces junglers to make a strategic decision between applying pressure to the lane and spending their time and health farming these more valuable monsters.
These changes should provide a larger roster of viable junglers, along with a greater range of strategic options through all phases of the game.
Early Game
Early on, junglers will have to balance the risk of ganking against the greater gold and experience available to them by farming the new, more powerful jungle camps.
Mid Game
The improved rewards from the neutral monster camps offer junglers the option to farm up and utilize powerful new items to really shine in the mid game.
Late Game
With improved rewards, new items, and rebalanced jungle camps, more junglers will be able to scale effectively into the late game and have a greater impact in team fights.
New Jungle Itemization
In the preseason, we're adding new items to the shop, including a few powerful additions to the jungler's arsenal.
Spirit Stones
These four all-new items are optimized for play in the jungle and all build into potent items that allow for a smooth transition from fast jungling into team fights as the game progresses.
Hunter's Machete
The Hunter's Machete reduces your clear time by offering extra damage to monsters early in your build. You can also upgrade this item to some old jungle standbys: Madred's Razor and Wriggle's Lantern.

Locked in the Guillotine MMA News Report 12.07.12 I'm Back, Again Edition
Posted by
Robert Winfree
on 12.07.2012
News and thoughts on Ronda Rousey's first opponent being named, Renan Barao defending the interim bantamweight title and Forrest Griffin getting injured! Plus a preview of UFC on FOX 5 and more!
Hello one and all, I'm back. I wound up taking a somewhat unscheduled break last week, which was great for me personally but I'm sure left all of you with a deep emotional void because this column wasn't up. Yeah, I don't really believe that, but it sounds good. Anyway I'm sure we didn't miss anything because last week was slow on news and had no upcoming fights. This week is completely the opposite of that, with the best card on paper of the entire year and several important bits of news that need to be looked at. So with all of last week to make up I'd better be sure this week is exceptional. I hope you've been practicing in my absence, because you're now Locked in the Guillotine again.
Before we move into MMA related issues, I wont have an update on
The Walking Dead
this week. We reached the mid season finale, and now I'm really anxious for February to get here. Other than saying that I'll let it rest, and let's dive right into the MMA news.
Cruz still out:
UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz had to go back under the knife this week to replace his ACL again. This time instead of injuring the new ligament, his body rejected the transplant. Good news is that the replaced MCL was accepted and this wasn't another injury. Bad news is that this will likely keep the bantamweight champion out of action until late 2013. This is bad news, but this is also precisely the situation that does call for an interim championship, which the UFC does have in Renan Barao.
Barao to actually defend the interim championship:
There had been a running debate about if Renan Barao would defend the interim bantamweight championship he won by defeating Urijah Faber earlier this year, but with Cruz needing surgery again there is no doubt anymore. Barao will indeed defend the interim title against Michael McDonald. McDonald is undefeated in the UFC and in his last fight knocked Miguel Torres out cold, and out of the UFC. This is a big step up in competition for McDonald, but given the state of the bantamweight division a title shot for McDonald wasn't far off even if Barao and Cruz had fought early or so next year and he won another fight between now and then. This has become a situation where having the interim title is actually a benefit because there is a title that will be defended while the linear champion recovers.
Forrest Griffin injured:
Former UFC light heavyweight champion was forced to pull out of his scheduled fight with Phil Davis with an MCL tear and ACL sprain. Griffin and Davis were scheduled to meet at the big end of the year card UFC 155 headlined by the rematch between UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Dana White has indicated that Davis will likely be moved to a different card as opposed to finding a replacement fighter on short notice. While this fight wasn't the headliner, it was going to be an interesting fight for Davis. Davis has only lost to Rashad Evans, and Griffin is in that same tier of fighters and it would have told us a lot about Davis after his victory over Wagner Prado.
The champ is here:
At the pre-fight press conference for UFC on FOX 5, Dana White announced that the first ever UFC female bantamweight champion is indeed former Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. Ronda's first title defense will be against Liz Carmouche, who isn't very well known but fought for the title in Strikeforce but fell short against Marloes Coenen. Dana White said after making the fight announcement that no one else wanted to take the fight with Rousey. The fight will be the main event of UFC 157 with the clash between Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida serving as co-main event. Ronda was asked about the long rumored fight between herself and Cris Cyborg, especially as Cyborg came out recently and said that it was possible for her to make 135, and Ronda responded in typical Ronda fashion. She said she had always known Cyborg could make 135, it just took Cyborg longer to come around to it because "she's not that bright". Assuming Cyborg can indeed get off whatever substances she's been on, drop the musculature without causing severe dehydration, the fight between Rousey and Cyborg is the big one that everyone wants to see.
Darth to meet the Janitor:
Former Ultimate Fighter winner Ryan Bader has verbally agreed to fight Vladimir Matyushenko at an undisclosed event. Both fighters are amenable to the fight, and I'd actually be interested in seeing it. Matyshenko is a really tough veteran of the sport who's just never been able to make the leap into elite status, while Bader seems to stumble anytime he's put in against elite competition. Either way I think this will be a fun fight.
Mark Hunt returns to Japan:
Stefan Struve and Mark Hunt have verbally agreed to fight each other when the UFC returns to Japan on March 8th on Fuel TV. At this point I actually like watching Mark Hunt fight, his only intention is to go out there and knock someone out. Struve has a somewhat questionable chin, but he'll have the edge in grappling for sure. Mark Hunt is a really surprising feel good story at this stage in his career, but there's nothing at all wrong with that as long as it's handled properly. I'm pulling for the guy in this fight.
Flyweight action:
While all eyes will be on the upcoming flyweight championship fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and Jon Dodson, the other names at flyweight have agreed to fight. Joseph Benavidez and Ian McCall have agreed to fight at the upcoming UFC 156 event early next year. Both men will be looking to get back into title contention, and I have to believe that if Ian McCall can turn in a great performance a third fight with "Mighty Mouse" should Johnson retain would be a big deal.
GSP wants to fight Diaz:
In some news that broke after the press conference, UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre told Dana White that he wants to fight Nick Diaz, and apparently Dana White wants to make that fight. This means the rightful number one contender Johny Hendricks will have to fight again, and the superfight between Anderson Silva and GSP will be delayed again. Nick Diaz lost a clear unanimous decision to Carlos Condit, and was busted for marijuana metabolites after that, yet despite the loss and the suspension it seems Diaz will be rewarded with a title shot. I know Georges has publicly said he wants to fight Diaz after the incredibly disrespectful things Diaz has said about him, and Georges doesn't ask the UFC for that much, but this really bugs me. I'd much rather have GSP fight Silva than this, and the huge fight between the two of them would bring the most money to the UFC and to each of them individually. Maybe GSP really does just want to beat Nick Diaz that badly. Either way I don't agree with this move by the UFC.
You know, if I was given to Dana White levels of hyperbole I'd say this was the type of card that if you don't like you're just not a fan of MMA. Good thing I'm not, and my own expression of joy at this card is simpler. There's nothing to dislike about this card. Not one thing I can say negatively about the scheduled fights. This has all the makings of card of the year, and it would take a colossal effort to turn this into a stinker. I'm really hyped for this card, and hopefully everything falls into place and we get a great event. So with my gushing about everything that's scheduled, let's take a look at the fights and what I think will happen.
Mike Swick vs. Matt Brown:
Mike Swick had been out of action for a really long time due to a string of injuries before he knocked out DaMarques Johnson in his last outing. Matt Brown is in the UFC because he always comes to fight and hasn't ever been in a fight that wasn't at least watchable. Unfortunately for Brown, he's prone to submission losses, and Swick isn't above snatching a quick guillotine choke. On the feet it's pretty even, though I'd give Brown a slight edge because he's comfortable fighting at distance or in the clinch. Swick will need to get this fight to be a grappling one and try to snatch a submission. I think that's the most likely course of events, Swick grabbing a choke after losing the exchanges on the feet for the first round and a half.
BJ Penn vs. Rory MacDonald:
Outside of the main event, this is the fight I'm most looking forward too. At the press conference these two were clearly ready to fight. BJ looked amped up, which is good considering how much emotion BJ uses in his fights. Rory looked pretty smooth in a suit, but he's also clearly wanting this fight. Rory doesn't have as much emotion as BJ does when he fights, during the build up or in the actual fight. This fight has the makings of a war with BJ fighting his heart out, but I can't pick him here. Rory MacDonald has lost just one fight, a last second stoppage loss to Carlos Condit in a fight MacDonald was winning. That loss actually made Rory a better fighter, because while he was talented before he's looked downright scary since. BJ Penn is an all time great fighter, but Rory MacDonald is hungry, talented, and he looks to hurt people inside the cage. I'm not sure Rory will finish BJ, but I don't think I can pick BJ here, Rory's looked unstoppable lately.
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua:
This is a big test for the young Swede. Alexander Gustafsson has lost only once, a submission loss to Phil Davis, but has rebounded nicely and has even begun getting talk of a title shot. While Gustafsson has looked impressive in his last few outings, he's not ever fought anyone on the level of Rua. Rua will be looking to get his first winning streak since he knocked out Chuck Liddell in 2009. Since then he's gone win-lose, even though I personally thought his fight with Dan Henderson was a draw. While some people have been making comparisons between Gustafsson and UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, the two are vastly different fighters. Jones has great wrestling, sick ground and pound, mastery of distance, and great athleticism. Gustafsson has more technical striking than Jones, and a reach that's similar, but both men fight very differently. I don't think Gustafsson will be able to bring the same pressure to Rua that Jones brought, and certainly not the same type of pressure. Rua will have to be quick in the cage, something that he hasn't done lately because of his knee issues. Rua would also be well served to get this fight to the ground, because his top game and ground and pound are incredibly strong and often overlooked aspects of his game. This will either be Gustafsson's coming out party, or hopefully a return to form for Shogun, because Rua didn't look good in his last fight against Brandon Vera. That said I'm picking Rua here, likely by stoppage in the second or third round.
The main event is everything you want in a fight, two great fighters, a title on the line, and a fight so close to call it's almost impossible to do. Throw in two of my favorite fighters, and you better believe we're not just looking at this one, we're Going Deeper!
Benson Henderson vs. Nate Diaz:
I can't really tell you guys how pumped I am for this fight. This has all the makings of an absolute war, and even before it happens could possibly be a Fight of the Year contender. The UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson looks to make his second successful title defense against Nate Diaz, a fighter who's looked completely rejuvenated since returning to the lightweight division in September of last year. Some thought it was a desperate move after Diaz lost two fights in a row at welterweight, but it actually looks to have been a great move. Since then Diaz has submitted Takanori Gomi, beat Donald Cerrone in a clear decision, and become the first guy to ever finish Jim Miller when he tapped him out with a guillotine choke in their fight. Diaz has some impressive skills in the cage, he uses a volume based punching approach which is vastly underutilized in the world of MMA. Nate also isn't afraid to use kicks in his striking, something his brother hasn't really begun using in his MMA career. Diaz also has some very slick submission skills, and endless cardio. Diaz moves forward very well, and actually has superior movement inside the cage to his brother. The weakness in Nate's game has historically been strong wrestlers, something he hasn't had to face since he returned to 155 until now.
Benson Henderson has looked incredible in his UFC career, he has stomped everyone in front of him decisively, with the exception of his last fight against Frankie Edgar. He dominated Mark Boeck in his UFC debut, dominated Jim Miller and Clay Guida in back to back fights, and for my money decisively beat Frankie Edgar in their first fight. Henderson has strong wrestling, which has been the backbone of his success in MMA. That said, he isn't a one dimensional wrestler. His submission defense is other-worldly and his scrambles are some of the best in the division. Henderson also has a nasty guillotine choke to his credit and strong kicks. Henderson also has an eerie calm about him, he never loses his head in a fight. There's plenty of fire and emotion in him, but it never takes control and compromises position. Just like Diaz, Henderson has an endless gas tank, forward pressure, and has looked great during his UFC tenure. This fight is actually really close on paper.
Neither man has been finished inside the octagon, and the chances of seeing this fight go all five rounds are high. I can't really give a cardio edge to either man given that both are always working, but Benson Henderson has proven he can go five hard rounds while Nate has never had to go past the third. Nate's only scheduled five rounder was his fight with Jim Miller, and he choked Miller out in the second round. While Henderson has incredible submission defense, he'd do well to avoid putting himself in positions for Diaz to grab one. Diaz will be the best MMA submission artist Henderson has fought, and Diaz also has some nasty chokes at his disposal. While the odds of seeing Benson Henderson submit in the octagon are roughly even with being struck by lightning, Diaz possesses another level of jiujitsu than Henderson has fought lately and he'd be wise to keep an eye on his neck. Striking wise, Nate throws high volume flurries, goes to the head and body equally well, and isn't completely lost in the kicking game. The major issue with Nate's striking is the same as his brother's, they have zero striking defense. Both men leave their chins up in the air and get caught by good counter strikers. This is compensated by their incredible chin and recovery power, but it remains an exploitable flaw. Henderson has more one punch power than Diaz, but should be careful in striking exchanges just due to the volume that Diaz will throw. Henderson will have a kicking advantage, and should use it liberally. Leg kicks have been an issue for both Diaz brothers, in fact it was sweeping leg attacks that allowed Donald Cerrone to steal a round from Diaz in their fight. The clinch will be an important position for both men, because Henderson does his best work from there and it's historically been a weakness of Nate. In his last fight Nate showed much improved clinch work, his positional awareness and effective strikes from the clinch against Jim Miller were impressive and a key component in his eventual victory. That said, Diaz would be better off fighting at distance, because Henderson is a much more smothering opponent than Miller. Nate's best chance of victory lies in out boxing Henderson, being very active off of his back, and engaging in flurries where his high volume striking style will give him the edge. For Henderson, he wants to fight in the clinch, or get on top of Diaz in a good position. Henderson should avoid staying in Diaz's full guard and instead try achieve a dominant position during a scramble and throw some powerful ground and pound. Henderson should also use his kicking game, his leg kicks are powerful and would be a useful tool in helping keep the distance where he wants it as opposed to where Diaz wants it.
This fight is incredibly difficult to call a winner in, because both men have a great chance to win. There are people picking Nate Diaz, and for good reason, just as there are people picking Benson Henderson for darn good reason. I'm a fan of both guys, so making a pick here is doubly difficult. At the end of the day, I just can't really pick against Benson Henderson. He's given me no reason to do so, though the same is true of Nate Diaz lately. I wont be surprised at all if Diaz takes this one, and if Henderson gets sloppy with a takedown and leaves his neck exposed it's actually feasible Diaz locks up a tight enough choke that even Benson Henderson has to tap out. I'm picking Henderson by decision, but this could really go either way. Mostly I'm looking forward to a darn good fight, because one way or another I'm willing to bet money there's no way these two guys go out there and don't perform.
That's going to wrap up this week for all things Guillotine related, but I promise, no more vacations for me for a while. I went over fifty weeks without a break, then within the last two months I took two. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them, but I have a tradition of putting out good work to keep and a legacy to keep building. Next week I'll have the breakdown of what I'm already calling the best card of 2012. Plus all the news that's sure to come out between now and next week, though I'll need a new feature now that
The Walking Dead
is on hiatus until February, so if you've got suggestions I'd love to hear them. So despite going really deep, you've managed to survive the Guillotine once again, and I'll see you back here next week.

Synthetic Division is the music project of Shawn Decker. Inspired by the sounds of 80's electropop groups such as New Order, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, Synthetic Division keep up with the times by infusing modern sounds
into a classic and proven sound. Many issues of life and death come up in Synthetic Division's work, mainly due to Decker's medical resume- at age 11 he was diagnosed with HIV, infected through blood products used to treat his hemophilia. In high school, he met Depeche Mode through the Make-A-Wish Foundation- his dying wish.
Now his true wish has come true: he's making music, educating about HIV prevention and enjoying life. "Things happen to us in life that are out of our control," Shawn explains. "But how we choose to handle those events? That's very much in our control."

The Economics of Growth
This comprehensive introduction to economic growth presents the main facts and puzzles about growth, proposes simple methods and models needed to explain these facts, acquaints the reader with the most recent theoretical and empirical developments, and provides tools with which to analyze policy design. The treatment of growth theory is fully accessible to students with a background no more advanced than elementary calculus and probability theory; the reader need not master all the subtleties of dynamic programming and stochastic processes to learn what is essential about such issues as cross-country convergence, the effects of financial development on growth, and the consequences of globalization. The book, which grew out of courses taught by the authors at Harvard and Brown universities, can be used both by advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference for professional economists in government or international financial organizations. The Economics of Growth first presents the main growth paradigms: the neoclassical model, the AK model, Romer's product variety model, and the Schumpeterian model. The text then builds on the main paradigms to shed light on the dynamic process of growth and development, discussing such topics as club convergence, directed technical change, the transition from Malthusian stagnation to sustained growth, general purpose technologies, and the recent debate over institutions versus human capital as the primary factor in cross-country income differences. Finally, the book focuses on growth policies--analyzing the effects of liberalizing market competition and entry, education policy, trade liberalization, environmental and resource constraints, and stabilization policy--and the methodology of growth policy design. All chapters include literature reviews and problem sets. An appendix covers basic concepts of econometrics.

About the Authors
Philippe Aghion is Robert C. Waggoner Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Aghion is coauthor (with Peter Howitt) of Endogenous Growth Theory (MIT Press, 1997).
Peter Howitt is Lyn Crost Professor of Social Sciences at Brown University. Howitt is coauthor (with Philippe Aghion) of Endogenous Growth Theory (MIT Press, 1997).
"A central puzzle of growth theory is to account for sustained productivity increase in the face of diminishing returns. Aghion and Howitt describe, with great clarity and verve, the main explanations that growth theory has proposed: from denial of the reality of diminishing returns to capital to Schumpeterian creative destruction, with intervening stops for exogenous and endogenous technological progress. An industrious reader can end up poised at the current analytical frontier, prepared to think about open questions and new issues."--Robert Solow, Department of Economics, MIT"—
"This text is both a clear and a concise survey of several approaches in the study of economic growth and an excellent introduction to the authors' impressive extensions of the Schumpeterian approach to market innovation and innovation policy." Edmund S. Phelps , Director, Center on Capitalism and Society, Columbia University, and Winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics"—
"Aghion and Howitt have produced a very important and thoughtful book which presents questions, models and answers in a clear and constructive manner. They show how good theory can and should influence both understanding and policy. It will shape the way in which economists think about growth for years ahead."
Nicholas Stern, Lord Stern of Brentford, and IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government, London School of Economics
"Aghion and Howitt's work on growth and policy has vastly increased our understanding of endogenous incentives and supportive policies that drive growth in advanced and developing countries. In this important book, they bring their own insights and the insights of other pioneers to bear on the broader context of growth. This book is accessible, fascinating and extremely useful."
--Michael Spence, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, and winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics
"This text is both a clear and a concise survey of several approaches in the study of economic growth and an excellent introduction to the authors' impressive extensions of the Schumpeterian approach to market innovation and innovation policy."
Edmund S. Phelps, Director, Center on Capitalism and Society, Columbia University, and Winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics
"These authors, at least as much as anyone else, have made growth economics what it is today. They have now devoted time and effort into making that material broadly accessible. What more could we ask for?"
Abhijit V. Banerjee, Department of Economics, MIT
"A fascinating tour through the frontier research on economic growth with a key question: 'Which policies and institutions promote and which hinder the transition from poverty to prosperity?' The authors do not believe in one-size-fits-all recipes, and take the complexity of economic development into modern growth theory."
Fabrizio Zilibotti, Department of Economics, University of Zurich
"The Economics of Growth by Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt is an excellent introduction to the exciting field of economic growth. It will challenge and motivate students and researchers."
Daron Acemoglu, Charles P. Kindleberger Professor of Applied Economics, MIT

Some of the damage has already been cleaned-up, but the room is still a mess. There is maroon-colored paint splattered all over the floor, walls, and work-out equipment. The weight room is used by female athletes and faculty members at Long Beach High School.
"Just now is the first time I've walked in and it's awful. It's really heartbreaking, because we spent so much time in here and obviously so much money because it's so nice and now it's gone," said Sally Wilson, a Long Beach High athlete.
Police believe vandals broke into the girls' weight room at the end of December. The five-gallon buckets of field paint were stored in a closet. The paint ruined the motors in the treadmill and the stationary bicycle. A laptop computer was also destroyed.
"I just don't know why anyone would do this. This is a place we obviously worked really hard to get," said Tabitha Johnson, who plays softball and volleyball at Long Beach High School.
Over at the field storage unit, the vandals allegedly poured grass seeds into a lawn mover and spray-painted graffiti along the walls and sports equipment. Police say they arrested two teenage boys on January 20. That's when authorities believe the same boys broke into the teacher's lounge and damaged a vending machine.
Principal Peter Dabbs confirmed that one of the suspects is a 16-year-old student at Long Beach High School. The other is a 13-year-old student at Harper McCaughan Elementary. Dabbs said those students will face disciplinary action based on the school district's policy.
In the meantime, district leaders are concerned about how to clean up the mess and repair all the damage.
"There was $40,000 worth of damage and our insurance has a $50,000 deductible, so they're not going to cover any of this. So we need to try to find some way to raise money or equipment and just any type of help to try and get this cleaned up," said Dabbs.
Dabbs is appealing for volunteers to help remove the paint stains and get the weight room back in shape.
"For softball and baseball, our seasons are just starting and we need all the time we can get practicing on the field and working out. So any help would be great," said Sally Wilson.
If you would like help with the clean-up or make a donation, just call Long Beach High School at (228) 863-6945.

A Texas woman got revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress by taking out a classified ad in the local paper.
The listing reads: "I would like to say congratulations to Shara
Cormier and Patrick Brown. They are expecting a baby. Hope you both are
really in love and I hope it works out.
Patrick's wife, Timeshia Brown."
It's not clear when the ad was published but it was shared on Reddit and posted on Facebook.

Exacting colors
Reviewer: A viewer from Christiansburg, VA
The black barred over brown strips are almost the exact coloring of the smaller smallmouth and rock bass in my area and I think make a very good looking baitfish imitation for early-season streamers for bass/pike/musky. Also makes a really good looking sculpin. My only complaint is that they are a little expensive compared to other things on JS but the amount is generous nonetheless so I am trying more colors.

A Feminist at Moody Bible Institute
2 comments:
- Kaye Jeltema said...
My comment to the author of the article you cite:
As a Moody grad myself (and from the same era), I had to shake my head in half-bemused but mostly annoyed amazement at your characterizations of the school. First, the college is not "fundamentalist" at all--that would be Bob Jones or Pillsbury Baptist Bible College back in the day. It's evangelical in the conservative tradition, but certainly not ultra-conservative. The fact that you have either ignored or are unaware of this is astounding and revealing.
Second, on a minor issue with another revealing take-away, why would you say that men were not allowed to sport beards? They were asked to grow them when school was not in session--to avoid the 'scruffy' look--but were allowed to have them. To be so definite and so definitely wrong about something like this should give your readers serious pause regarding your other strongly-worded ideas. If you make a mistake in citing a clear policy of the school, it makes one question your other analysis.
Third, after a lifetime in the conservative evangelical tradition—including 4 years at the venerable Moody Bible Institute, I have never met a single person there or elsewhere who has ever said women cannot teach children. This matters, because—as fellow commenter Kerri Shaw Daugherty has also noted, the idea of a woman not teaching a man comes straight from the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:12, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet" (ESV). Also, 1 Corinthians 14:34–35, "The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church" (ESV). Feminists have worked for years to deconstruct these texts, and to deny their clear meaning. Moody—the "Bible Institute" that it is—promotes this understanding.
Maybe you once met a person who would call a 7 year old 'a man,' but I have not, and MBI has never officially taught anything like this. Based on the tenor of your entire article, it's easy to believe that your mischaracterization is not inadvertent. Your reader gasps that anyone would be so silly as to teach a woman not to instruct any boy older than 6. What professor taught you this? Maybe it was an instructor who first shut the door, then went on to subversively teach what Moody does not? (From what you write, you might at least admire that kind of moxy.) Where did you find that in the MBI statement of faith or in the student life guide? It wasn't there.
Last, I find it to be in bad taste that you would publicly bash a college that gave you (along with all students in residence) a full tuition-paid scholarship. As fellow commenter Cameron Smith has already intimated: if you didn't like what you were learning or the environment around you, why did you keep accepting the gift of that scholarship each semester--many thousands of dollars? That's low. And if you only changed your mind later, which is not at all clear from your post, it is still bad form to write from a well of inspiration called vindictiveness. That's not 'working out negative feelings' as you stated in your justification of your article to Cameron. That's full out bashing a place that, despite your several bad experiences, invested a lot in helping you learn.
Okay, so you're a feminist—perhaps even a radical feminist. We get that. Respect those who aren't, and who see the Bible as supportive of a far more conservative view than your own--and Jesus' representative the Apostle Paul actually meaning what he wrote about women's roles. You could have gone to lots of other colleges where your views would have been the majority perspective. This article is simply sour grapes.

Kaye: Thanks for this response. I would definitely agree that Moody is not "fundamentalist" in the way that the other schools you mentioned are "fundamentalist." This is a fair point. Too often more liberal Protestants paint with a broad brush and I think Merritt is doing the same.
I don't know Moody, but I do have some experience with other Bible colleges and I think your point about beards is also true. Your point about women teaching children is also accurate.
Thanks for clearing these points up and adding some more nuance to the Merritt piece for my readers. And thanks for reading the blog!

EGD - esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is an examination of the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum with a small camera (flexible endoscope) which is inserted down the throat.
Alternative Names
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy; Upper endoscopy; Gastroscopy
How the test is performed
You will be given a sedative and an analgesic (painkiller). You should feel no pain and not remember the procedure. A local anesthetic may be sprayed into your mouth to suppress the need to cough or gag when the endoscope is inserted. A mouth guard will be inserted to protect your teeth and the endoscope. Dentures must be removed.
In most cases, an intravenous line will be inserted into your arm to administer medications during the procedure.
You will be instructed to lie on your left side.
After the sedatives have taken effect:
- The endoscope is advanced through the esophagus (food pipe) to the stomach and duodenum. Air is introduced through the endoscope to enhance viewing.
- The lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum is examined, and biopsies can be taken through the endoscope. Biopsies are tissue samples that are reviewed under the microscope.
- Different treatments may be performed, such as stretching or widening a narrowed area of the esophagus.
After the test is completed, food and liquids will be restricted until your gag reflex returns (so you don't choke).
The test lasts about 5 to 20 minutes.
How to prepare for the test
Fasting is required overnight (6 to 12 hours before the test). An informed consent form must be signed. You may be told to stop aspirin and other blood-thinning medications for several days before the test.
How the test will feel
The local anesthetic makes swallowing difficult. This wears off shortly after the procedure. The endoscope may stimulate some gagging in the back of the throat. There may be a sensation of gas, and the movement of the scope may be felt in the abdomen. Biopsies cannot be felt. Because of the intravenous sedation, you may not feel any discomfort and may have no memory of the test.
When you wake up, you may feel a little bloated from the air that is introduced through the endoscope, but this will wear off in a short period of time.
Why the test is performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have any of the following conditions or symptoms:
- Abdominal pain
- Black or tarry stools
- Chronic liver disease or cirrhosis
- Crohn's disease
- Feeling full sooner than normal or after eating less than usual
- Gastroparesis
- Heartburn
- Narrowing or tumors of the esophagus
- Swallowing difficulties or pain with swallowing
- Unexplained anemia
- Unexplained weight loss
- Vomiting blood
- Vomiting that does not go away
The test may also be used to obtain a tissue specimen for biopsy.
Normal Values
The esophagus, stomach, and duodenum should be smooth and of normal color. There should be no bleeding, growths, ulcers, or inflammation.
What abnormal results mean
An abnormal EGD may be the result of:
- Celiac disease
- Esophageal rings
- Esophageal varices (a sign of end-stage liver disease)
- Esophagitis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Lower esophageal ring
- Inflammation of the stomach and duodenum
- Mallory-Weiss syndrome (tear in the esophagus)
- Strictures or narrowing of the esophagus
- Tumors or cancer in the esophagus, stomach, duodenum (first part of small intestine)
- Ulcers - gastric (stomach) or duodenal (small intestine)
- Zenker diverticula (abnormal pouches in the lining of the intestines)
What the risks are
There is a small chance of perforation (hole) of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus. There is also a small risk of bleeding at the biopsy site. A patient could have an adverse reaction to the anesthetic, medication, or tranquilizer. This reaction could cause:
- Apnea (not breathing)
- Bradycardia
- Excessive sweating
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Laryngospasm (spasm of the larynx)
- Respiratory depression (difficulty breathing)
The overall risk is less than 1 out of 1,000 people.
Special considerations
If you develop any of the following after the test, contact the health care provider:
- Black stools
- Blood in vomit
- Difficulty swallowing
- Fever
- Pain

'We the People' Loses Appeal With People Around the World - NYTimes.com
"Among the world's democracies," Professors Law and Versteeg concluded, "constitutional similarity to the United States has clearly gone into free fall. Over the 1960s and 1970s, democratic constitutions as a whole became more similar to the U.S. Constitution, only to reverse course in the 1980s and 1990s."
"The turn of the twenty-first century, however, saw the beginning of a steep plunge that continues through the most recent years for which we have data, to the point that the constitutions of the world's democracies are, on average, less similar to the U.S. Constitution now than they were at the end of World War II."
There are lots of possible reasons. The United States Constitution is terse and old, and it guarantees relatively few rights. The commitment of some members of the Supreme Court to interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning in the 18th century may send the signal that it is of little current use to, say, a new African nation. And the Constitution's waning influence may be part of a general decline in American power and prestige.
In a television interview during a visit to Egypt last week, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court seemed to agree. "I would not look to the United States Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," she said. She recommended, instead, the South African Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the European Convention on Human Rights.
The rights guaranteed by the American Constitution are parsimonious by international standards, and they are frozen in amber. As Sanford Levinson wrote in 2006 in "Our Undemocratic Constitution," "the U.S. Constitution is the most difficult to amend of any constitution currently existing in the world today." (Yugoslavia used to hold that title, but Yugoslavia did not work out.)
Other nations routinely trade in their constitutions wholesale, replacing them on average every 19 years. By odd coincidence, Thomas Jefferson, in a 1789 letter to James Madison, once said that every constitution "naturally expires at the end of 19 years" because "the earth belongs always to the living generation." These days, the overlap between the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and those most popular around the world is spotty.
Americans recognize rights not widely protected, including ones to a speedy and public trial, and are outliers in prohibiting government establishment of religion. But the Constitution is out of step with the rest of the world in failing to protect, at least in so many words, a right to travel, the presumption of innocence and entitlement to food, education and health care.
It has its idiosyncrasies. Only 2 percent of the world's constitutions protect, as the Second Amendment does, a right to bear arms. (Its brothers in arms are Guatemala and Mexico.)
The Constitution's waning global stature is consistent with the diminished influence of the Supreme Court, which "is losing the central role it once had among courts in modern democracies," Aharon Barak, then the president of the Supreme Court of Israel, wrote in The Harvard Law Review in 2002.
Many foreign judges say they have become less likely to cite decisions of the United States Supreme Court, in part because of what they consider its parochialism.
"America is in danger, I think, of becoming something of a legal backwater," Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia said in a 2001 interview. He said that he looked instead to India, South Africa and New Zealand.
Mr. Barak, for his part, identified a new constitutional superpower: "Canadian law," he wrote, "serves as a source of inspiration for many countries around the world." The new study also suggests that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in 1982, may now be more influential than its American counterpart.
So Fox News overreacted as usual and is completely lying about Justice Ginsburg dissing the Constitution.
Looks like they either jumped the gun or intentionally made it sound like she said those things.
I vote for the latter!

Time is a unique resource in that everyone is given an equal amount. How you invest that gift is a major factor in how you feel about life.
Children who have reading difficulties in the primary grades often had limited early literacy learning experiences.
Life's many choices and obligations can take their toll on body, mind and spirit.
As baby boomers age, older Americans will make up a growing proportion of Missouri's population.

Comerica Inc.'s (CMA, $33.05, +$1.18, +3.70%) fourth-quarter profit rose 35% as the financial-services company's charge-offs and provision for loan losses continued to decline.
Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ, $38.65, +$2.24, +6.15%) hit another all-time high as Bloomberg News reported the Justice Department's review of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV's (BUD, $88.99, +$0.30, +0.34%) proposed purchase of the rest of Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo SAB (GMODELO.MX, GPMCY) has focused on a supply and pricing pact between the companies and Crown Imports, which brings Grupo Modelo brands into the U.S. Constellation is poised to acquire Crown, and Stifel Nicolaus says any modifications to the current pricing/supply pact would be neutral at worst for Constellation as it appears the Justice Department might be aiming to restrain Inbev's market-leading pricing power in the U.S. by increasing Constellation's influence.
Crocs Inc. (CROX, $14.19, -$1.52, -9.68%) said the company expects revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31 will be in line with previous guidance of $220 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing didn't mention anything about earnings per share, but in a note to clients, Sterne Agee said that backlog of +15% for the first half of 2013 is at the low end of the previously guided 15% to 18%.
Dell Inc. (DELL, $12.61, -$0.56, -4.25%) pared some of its recent gains after investment bank Argus downgraded its recommendation for the computer giant to hold from buy. Dell shares have risen over the past two days on reports that the company has been talking to private-equity shops about possibly selling itself.
Five Below Inc. (FIVE, $34.40, +$2.57, +8.07%) raised its fourth-quarter guidance as the teen-discount retailer said customers responded well to its offerings and prices during the holiday season. However, Five Below also said certain shareholders, including members of the company's management team and board, are offering seven million shares. Five Below had about 54 million shares outstanding as of Nov. 29.
General Motors Co. (GM, $29.31, -$1.29, -4.22%) said Tuesday its global profitability will "rise modestly" in 2013 on a pretax-earnings basis, driven primarily by the ongoing strength in the U.S and Chinese car markets.
Genworth Financial (GNW, $8.85, +$0.72, +8.86%) unveiled a capital plan for its U.S. mortgage-insurance business that should reduce its need to seek additional capital and lower its risk of defaulting on senior notes. The life-insurance company, which also provides wealth-management services, said it plans to transfer ownership of its European mortgage-insurance units to Genworth Mortgage Insurance Co. its main U.S. mortgage-insurance unit during the first quarter.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s (GS, $141.09, +$5.50, +4.06%) fourth-quarter profit surged as the bank recorded strong results from debt and equity underwriting, while financial-advisory revenue also climbed. Results sharply beat Wall Street estimates.
Green Dot Corp. (GDOT, $13.20, -$1.16, -8.08%) is trying to broaden its customer base with a new mobile-based bank account, but it's not likely to solve its distribution headaches for its flagship prepaid cards, according to analysts. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey downgraded GDOT to "reduce" from "neutral," citing gains by competing prepaid products. "Our recent visits to more than a dozen Cincinnati-area Walgreen's and CVS stores reveal significant loss of shelf space for Green Dot," SunTrust said, recommending investors "swap into" NetSpend (NTSP, $11.75, -$0.14, -1.18%). Despite its new GoBank account offering "feature rich functionality," Sterne Agee said it will "need to see sustained account growth and card usage to scale and grow revenue over time."
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ, $17.21, +$0.68, +4.11%) has received expressions of interest from potential suitors for its Autonomy Corp. business, the division that the technology giant has alleged engaged in accounting improprieties before H-P acquired it in 2011, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the discussions.
Northern Trust Corp.'s (NTRS, $49.78, -$3.03, -5.74%) fourth-quarter earnings rose 29% as the trust bank reported growth in its trust, investment and other servicing fees as well as sharply lower provisions for potential credit losses and fewer restructuring-related charges and other items. Still, expenses came in higher than expected and contributed to an earnings miss. Fee revenue was in line, but revenue from lending and investing was lower than expected, RBC said
Online sales of office supplies plummeted in December, but Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said this month might make up the lost ground. The investment bank said January might be primed for a big pickup. Shares of Office Depot Inc. (ODP, $4.03, +$0.16, +4.13%) and OfficeMax Inc. (OMX, $10.87, +$0.31, +2.94%), both of which have large online stores, were up.
Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ONXX, $79.28, -$4.15, -4.97%) plans to offer 4.4 million shares. The drug developer had about 67.2 million shares outstanding as of Oct. 31.
Regional Management Corp. (RM, $15.61, -$0.94, -5.68%) expects to report downbeat fourth-quarter earnings, citing an increase in the provision for loan losses and other costs.
Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (SNCR, $23.18, +$0.57, +2.52%) received an upgrade to outperform from Credit Suisse, which cited improved business momentum, including record smartphone sales by AT&T Inc. (T, $33.26, -$0.50, -1.48%) in the fourth quarter. The investment bank also lifted its price target for the software provider to $29 from $20, saying in a note to clients that while Synchronoss does have "significant customer concentration to some carriers," it sees very low risk of missing estimates and downward revisions.
Stage Stores Inc. (SSI, $23.31, +$1.01, +4.53%) said it expects results for fiscal 2012 to be at or above the high-end of its guidance, but the retailer didn't give a reason.
Printed-circuit-board manufacturer TTM Technologies Inc. (TTMI, $7.89, +$0.47, +6.33%) said it expects to report fourth-quarter results at or somewhat above the high end of previous guidance.

Why Senuke X is the Best Link Building Software Available
There are many automated link building softwares out there nowadays but none of which really compares to the brute force power of Senuke X.
The reason why Senuke X is still the best search engine optimization software for the past 2 years is because of it's consistent weekly updates and it's variety on the links it's able to build. Senuke can do
- Forum Profiles
- Web 2.0 Profiles
- Social Networks
- Social Bookmarks
- Article Submissions
- Press Release Submissions
- RSS Submissions
- and Video Submissions
That's a huge variety of backlinks which Google absolutely loves.
Sure, there have been some SEO programs that have been effective in the last year or so, however Google updates (Panda update anyone?) have killed off the effectiveness of most of these softwares. Why? Simply because these software are only able to do one type of backlinking such as blog commenting. Spamming one type of backlink onto your site no longer has ANY effect on your site's SERPs (Search Engine Results Page).
Not to mention the update schedules on these other software are near non-existant. One update every few or couple of months? That's simply not going to cut it into today's fast updating and revolving internet world. That's another aspect in which Senuke X excels in. Senuke X has software programmers that are dedicated to just updating and adding new sites to submit to! Updates come weekly instead of monthly, all the broken sites get fixed quick.
Senuke is definitely one of the SEO programs that I can't not have in my arsenal. It's simply too effective, too easy to use and too efficient.
For a free trial of Senuke, simply head over to this link.
A discounted yearly version is also available here, however you must have created a free account to see the special offer page.
