CMBA Returns: Make Your Appointment Today!
Posted Date: 8/24/2012
Author: Kristy Warren
TIOGA & POTTER COUNTIES, PA—Your blood says a lot about your health. Blood analysis can establish a normal, healthy baseline for your body and can detect many potential health problems early by monitoring changes to the baseline that resulted in something outside normal reference ranges.
Laurel Health System's Community Multidiagnostic Blood Analysis (CMBA) is a physician-approved, community screening program featuring 38 blood tests—all from one blood draw and for one low cost of $52. An optional take home colorectal screening kit is available for $7. Men aged 50+ and men under 50 with a family history of prostate cancer can opt to add the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test to the CMBA panel for an additional $18 or as a standalone test for $22.
Anyone participating in the CMBA testing is required to fast for 12 hours prior to the test; 14 hours is recommended. During this time, participants may drink as much water as they like and should continue to take all medications.
CMBA is offered in nine locations throughout the month of September.
Pre-registration is required.
Scheduling an appointment ensures that your information and specimen labels are available upon your arrival, streamlining the screening process.
Call now to arrange an appointment at any one of the following nine sites in Tioga and Potter counties:
Thursday September 6
Tioga Fire Hall
6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Thursday September 13
Elkland Fire Hall
6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The blood specimens drawn from each participant are sent to Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital's clinical laboratory to screen for diabetes, anemia, prostate cancer, and diseases of the heart, liver, thyroid, or kidney. CMBA can establish normal blood levels to monitor from year to year or help detect changes or help lead to the diagnosis of a disease, making the test an important preventive and diagnostic tool. Results are sent to the participant's healthcare provider for interpretation. Participants will also receive a copy of their results and an explanation of the tests performed.
Participating in the CMBA screening is not intended to replace ongoing medical care. All test results should be discussed with the participant's health care provider.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, register online or call (570) 723-8449 or 1-800-808-LAUREL (5287) Monday through Friday anytime from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you call after hours, please leave a recorded message; a CMBA representative will return your call as soon as possible.

Woodlands Girl Scout travels paths of adventure with destinations trip to Los Angeles
HOUSTON, Texas – Girl Scout Haley R., a sophomore at The Woodlands College Park High School, participated in Girl Scouts of the USA's destinations program over the summer, traveling to Los Angeles. destinations are travel adventures for Girl Scouts ages 13-18 that take place all over the world and give girls the chance to meet remarkable girls, develop leadership skills, gain confidence and enjoy valuable learning opportunities.

Girl Scouts can apply for up to four trips per year. A limited number of girls are chosen for each destinations, and no more than two girls from one Girl Scout council are chosen to encourage attendees to make new friends. After being chosen for a destinations, Girl Scouts are responsible for raising the funds to go on the trip through selling cookies, money earned at a job or personal savings.
Hayley's destination, titled Hollywood Dreamin', took her to Los Angeles where she had the opportunity to learn about cinematography. She went on a private studio tour, visited the Hollywood sign, and even helped write a short film that was entered into the Los Angeles Digital Short Film Festival.
"I enjoyed being able to use a camera to tell a story," said Haley. "The most challenging part was working on a team and replying on one part of the team to complete their job so I could do mine."

text: (WNFL) - Wisconsin could still get a New Year's Day bowl -- either the Capital One Bowl in Orlando or the Outback Bowl in Tampa. We won't know for sure until next Sunday, but we do know the Badgers won't play in the Orange Bowl or any other B-C-S bowl after their 31-24 upset loss to Penn State in their regular season finale on Saturday. The Badgers needed to finish in the Top-14 in next week's final B-C-S Standings to get a top-tier bowl bid. But the Penn State loss dropped them to Number-21 last night, six spots lower than a week ago. Also, Wisconsin dropped seven spots in both major national polls, also to 21st in both the A-P media poll and the U-S-A Today coaches' survey. The Badgers finished at 9-and-3 in coach Gary Andersen's first regular season in Madison. They placed second in the Big Ten Leaders Division at 6-and-2, two games behind first-place Ohio State.

About Us
Monument Bank opened its doors in September 2005. The team of experienced businesspeople, professionals and bankers who came together to organize the Bank wanted to offer an alternative that would deliver the right financial solutions to the businesses, professionals and non-profit organizations that call Montgomery County home. And we would do it with unparalleled convenience, exceptional service, total trust and lifelong relationships.
Currently having two branch offices, one in Bethesda and a second in Silver Spring, Monument Bank has proven that there doesn't have to be a branch on every corner to make banking convenient. Our state-of-the-art online banking platform, services such as Express Deposit and bank officers who routinely conduct business in the customer's office have allowed us to grow to $380 million in assets in the relative absence of brick and mortar.
During the current challenging economic times, Monument Bank has continued to make loans to credit-worthy applicants. Our decisions are not based on a quick review of the numbers, ratios and collateral. Our lenders evaluate with great care what is sometimes hidden behind the numbers – things such as the borrower's character and sense of purpose. Our SBA Loan Department, with an SBA lender hired in May 2010, has brought the Bank's ranking from 25th to 8th among all banks as of September 30, 2011, according to the Washington Metropolitan Office of the SBA.
Community is important to us. We support our local non-profits in many ways, financially and through active volunteerism. We went one step further in late 2011 and formed a Non-Profit Division with designated employees who have extensive experience with non-profits and an understanding of the types of products and services that are important to this crucial part of our economy. We offer to all our customers a full range of deposit, loan and cash management products, fairly priced, and delivered with the highest level of customer service.
Monument Bank is in growth mode. Over the coming months we will look seriously to expand into more space for our continually growing staff. We cordially invite you to come grow with us!

It was a day of reckoning for jury duty evaders. The Maricopa County Court System announced it is cracking down on people who don't report when they're called to serve.
The days of just not showing up and moving on with your life are apparently over, as some people found out in court Friday.
Tired of people not showing up for jury duty, Maricopa County Courts enacted a new get-tough policy.
More than a dozen people were found in contempt of court for ignoring their jury summons. Their excuses ranged from a missionary who was just too busy -- to they forgot.
"Simply forgot."
"In all honesty I forgot like the previous gentleman."
"I would say I'm real busy sir."
More than a dozen people showed up in court today, many with their tails between their legs, as they faced Judge Randall Warner. They tried to explain why they didn't show up for jury duty -- ignoring court orders, not once, not twice, but three times!
"The law is very clear that it's a responsibility to appear," said Judge Warner.
The judge found 13 people in contempt of court. Fines ranged from $50 to $250, but can go up to $500. Goran Knezevic got a $250 fine.
"I think the reason I got a bigger fine was that I called in, I made them aware I did get the jury service and did not show," he said.
Quintton Jones was fined $100. He showed up for his court date, but left before being excused, saying he had to take care of his sick grandmother.
"I did take it seriously I just couldn't stay at all I thought he'd let me off but he didn't," said Jones.
"I take jury service very seriously," said Judge Janet Barton, Superior Court Judge.
Judge Janet Barton says 56 percent of people are not showing up for jury duty.
"If we have sufficient numbers of no shows we could be in a position where we can't empanel a jury. Defendants have speedy trial rights," said Judge Barton.
The judge points out potential jurors are notified of their court date a month in advance and can reschedule if the date doesn't work.
"So call. That's all we're asking, let us know. These are people who have done nothing to explain why they failed to appear. They just failed to appear."
Along with a fine, the judge gave each offender another jury duty date.
No shows cost taxpayers too. In April more than 5,500 people didn't show up for jury duty.
At $1.50 a summons, the court estimates it spends almost $100,000 a year on those summons.
One of the no-shows didn't show up again. They talked about issuing a bench warrant, but decided to try and track her down to likely pay a fine.

Prices at $4.15, $4.19, even $4.25 a gallon! Fox 2 viewers are so mad about gas prices, they're sending us pictures from pumps all over town. Prices spiked as much as $.30 over the weekend. The hike caught everyone off guard.
What's behind it? Fox 2's Ryan Ermanni gets the answers drivers are demanding.
Whether it's the price of oil, speculation driving prices up, or any other excuse anyone can give -- drivers agree, it costs too much to fill up their tanks! Just the sight of the marquee causes a reaction. Gas prices are high and the impact runs deep in households all over Metro Detroit.
Read: Currently unknown refinery problem may lead Great Lakes Higher
People are so angry and frustrated but they don't even know where to point the finger. The good news? We found one station selling gas for $3.85. A bargain at Royal Fuels on Woodward Ave. Being an independent gas station, they can charge less because they can shop around for the best available price.
No word on when gas prices may go back down.

BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Sometimes, the best buying opportunities come from finding the stocks that everyone else hates.
That's one of the key tenants of contrarian investing, a school of market thought that's predicated on the idea that the crowd is wrong at turning points. If years like 2008 have taught us anything, it's that even the biggest stocks can get mispriced over long periods of time -- and investors who spot those mispricings can profit.
That's why we're looking at a set of heavily shorted blue-chip stocks today. That's right, even blue-chips can become the target of short-sellers when faced with major economic headwinds, flawed financials or another catalyst that could send shares lower. Large-cap names also have more analyst eyes on them, and as a result, they tend to snap back more quickly than smaller names.
>>5 Chinese Stocks With Breakout PotentialTo be clear, these stocks aren't necessarily undervalued right now. Instead, the mispricing opportunity comes from a short squeeze in shares. In case you're not familiar with the term, a short squeeze is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which estimates the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed. Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year. Without further ado, here's a look at our list of large-cap short-squeeze opportunities.

This guidance note is produced as part of a series by the Tourism Intelligence Unit at ONS with the aim of providing a consistent framework within which to measure and collect data on various facets of tourism activity. The guidance notes produced to date are:
Guidance Note 1: Definitions of Tourism (234.4 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
Guidance Note 2: Local Economic Impact Modelling Approaches (324 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
Guidance Note 3: Undertaking Visitor Surveys (176.9 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
Guidance Note 4: Tourism Benchmarking and Performance Indicators (156.8 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
Guidance Note 5: Measuring the Supply Side of Tourism (237.6 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
Guidance Note 6: Event Analysis and Evaluation (270.6 Kb Pdf) (version 1)
This is the second version of Guidance Note 1 and the aim of this update, and the updates for all the other notes in the series, is twofold:
To incorporate developments, or changes, in the definitions and concepts which underpin the series of guidance notes and to have regard to current usage of terms by all concerned in the UK with tourism defined as the activities of visitors.
To add more practical guidance relating to the various topics which might include examples of best practice in the UK and elsewhere and worked examples where the guidance refers to particular measurement techniques.
The reason for developing this series of guidance notes has always been to try and develop a more consistent framework for the measurement of the tourism sector of the economy at all spatial scales in the UK.
The achievement of this consistent framework is determined to some extent by an understanding of the concepts and definitions of tourism and how these are understood internationally, nationally in the UK, regionally, and at local levels. Setting out this conceptual framework is a particular aim of this guidance note.
The concepts and definitions relating to tourism are used at a national level within ONS and find their way into definitions and classifications used in the National Accounts and Balance of Payments, International Trade in Services, and Household and Migration statistics.
It is important, therefore, that these standards are adopted more widely at the subnational level to promote a cohesive approach to the measurement of tourism. It is very important that this conceptual framework is adopted by users when undertaking data collection or analysis on tourism, particularly at the local level.
ONS, through the work of the Tourism Intelligence Unit has referred to, and used, the concepts and definitions highlighted in this guidance in the development of its outputs.
It is recommended that data collection and measurement of the various aspects of tourism highlighted in this series should also be based on the same conceptual underpinning in order to achieve a consistent approach to the analysis of tourism in the UK.
In this sense the guidance seeks to develop a 'bottom up' approach to data collection across the various aspects of tourism that the guidance covers. Adopting this approach would ensure more comparability across areas which will be useful for planning purposes.
It would also make feasible a more uniform approach to the analysis of the local economic impact of tourism if local authorities are collecting tourism data following this consistent framework.
The framework that we have adopted is based on the UNWTO's System of Tourism Statistics (STS), the components of which are outlined in Table 1.
Throughout this guidance we make reference to the International Recommendations on Tourism Statistics (IRTS, 2008) from the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), Eurostat and OECD. This is the most authoritative source of information on defining and measuring tourism.
We also make reference to the Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA: RMF, 2008) also from UNWTO, Eurostat and OECD.
Table 1: Components of a System of Tourism Statistics (UNWTO, 2010)
|Observation Units
Main Related Characteristics
Visitor {
|Classes (Overnight visitor-tourist-/same-day visitor-excursionist)
Country of Residence/Regions
|Tourism Trip (or visit)
|Main Purpose
Main Destination
Modes of transport
Types of accommodation used
|Tourism Industries
(business enterprises or units)
-Intermediate consumption
-Gross value added
-Compensation of employees
-Gross Fixed Capital Formation
Non Monetary
-Non-monetary characteristics specific to each tourism industry
|Establishment (in the
tourism industries)
Status in Employment
Duration of Work
Full Time Equivalent Jobs
Within this framework it is clear that we can distinguish between a demand side of tourism defined by the visitors who take tourism trips and the characteristics of those trips, and a supply side which details the characteristics of those industries that provide goods and services to visitors (including the characteristics of employment in those industries).
We highlight the definitions of both the demand and supply sides of tourism in this guidance.
1.1 English Tourism Research and Intelligence Partnership (ETRIP) work on definitions and concepts
Before describing the demand and supply side definitions of tourism, we highlight here specific work undertaken by the English Tourism Research and Intelligence Partnership (ETRIP - formally the English Tourism Intelligence Partnership) who undertook a study of tourism terms and definitions in the Autumn of 2011.
This piece of work was instigated by Prof Victor Middleton and led by David James (GTS UK) working with a group of experts from various organisations, public and private, from within the UK tourism sector.
In this version of the guidance note we highlight the work undertaken in defining various tourism terms from the UK perspective and include these alongside current international recommendations on the definition and measurement of tourism.
In Appendix One we include a tabular summary of the definitions compiled by this ETRIP working group. This is organised around the following themes:
Generic Terms
Measurement Specifics/Requirements
Destination Related
Where relevant, we also include elements of the short report produced by the ETRIP working group in the body of this report and we reference this as: ETRIP Tourism Terms Paper, 2011.
Some of the terms referred to in this work sit outside current international recommendations on tourism statistics and, therefore, are less well defined in many cases.
However, as some of these terms are being widely used by tourism professionals in the UK, it is a useful exercise to propose an appropriate definition of them grounded on the UNWTO overall definition of tourism. This aids in identifying overlaps with existing international definitions of tourism, which are the main focus of this guidance, and where there are differences.

A little background first... A nurse that I work with has 2 boys, and they have a friend. This friend is 9 years old, and spends a lot of time at their house. He was spending the weekend with this family a couple of months ago, and his father got deported to Mexico (after being arrested for physical abuse against the boy's mom) and his mom became homeless (with this boy's 7yo brother and 3yo sister). So, my nurse-friend got permission from the mother to let the boy stay with her and her family until their living situation can be straightened out. I guess this boy usually babysits his younger siblings while his mom is at the bar. His mom and he are illegal immigrants, but his 2 younger siblings were born in the USA. He's super cute, is a great student, and loves playing on their football team.
Well, the mom says that she just wants what is best for him, and he doesn't want to go home. To put him in the foster system would probably get him and his mom deported (who knows what would happen to his 2 younger US-citizen siblings), and CPS has already been called on this family a few times.
This situation is super messy, and the nurse said that is mom is considering adoption, but the nurse already has a full house and can't take him permanently. Their first step is to seek legal counsel to see how they can make him a legal citizen, and then to see if the mom can stabilize her life (of course keeping him with his family should be the goal, but might not be best in this situation). After that, adoption might become a reality for this boy...and I told the nurse to keep DH and I in mind if it comes to this! I have no idea where this will go, but it just seems oddly right.
But like I said, who knows, I'm definitely not trying to push anything, just making ourselves open and available to this crazy situation (or any others that present themselves in the future). It has got me thinking about entering the foster system again. There are no foster families in our county, and I've heard that it is a pretty easy process here because there is such a need. Who knows how this will turn out...but it feels like a breath of fresh air in the middle of all this disappointment and heartache.

Rumors of Exchange Offer Gain Traction
Mike is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
According to a report issued on January 22, 2013, Legg Mason (NYSE: LM) is in the early stages of formulating a sizable exchange offer. The company has been no stranger to such actions: In August of 2009, it completed a major exchange offer that freed up significant amounts of capital and permitted it to survive until the present. However, speculation is rampant that the current offer is a precursor to the announcement of a going-private takeover or merger. In light of the company's announcement of a major asset write-down and widespread doubt that it can streamline its component businesses on its own, this speculation may not be unfounded.
About Legg Mason
Baltimore-based Legg Mason is a diversified asset-management company that offers a range of consumer-focused financial services. In addition to operating a financial advisory service that caters directly to wealthy private individuals, the company issues mutual funds and other managed investment vehicles through intermediary brokerages. Its wealth-management division manages billions of dollars of deposits and maintains sizable stakes in several prominent hedge funds. As part of these wealth management services, Legg Mason operates tax-protected offshore funds and other vehicles that aim to reduce its clients' tax burdens. The company employs about 2,800 people and earned $175.5 million on $2.5 billion in 2012 revenues. It manages nearly $650 billion in assets.
How the Deal Is Structured
Although the exchange offer remains in its formative stages, key details have emerged. First, it is important to note that Legg Mason's pretax charges during the third quarter of 2012 totaled $734 million. The bulk of these charges could be tied to the write-down of various non-performing assets. This is the latest manifestation of the under-performance that has plagued the company in recent years. Relative to its asset-management peers, Legg Mason is now seen as a clear laggard.
Worth about $650 million, the exchange offer involves the possible exchange of a tranche of 2019 senior debt securities. Legg Mason floated the bonds during the middle of 2012 in order to sever its ties to New York-based private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts (NYSE: KKR). Placed privately, the bonds were used to finance the final buyback of KKR's financing facilities. The offer is seen as a tacit admission that Legg Mason will be unable or unwilling to pay down these senior debt notes at maturity.
News of the potential offer has boosted Legg Mason's stock. From its pre-announcement closing price of $26.69 per share, the company's stock price rose to $28.08 during the trading session that followed the news. This represents a one-day return of 5.2 percent for current shareholders. Over the past several months, the company has been locked in a slow but steady uptrend. Barring any unforeseen charges or write-downs in the coming quarters, news of the exchange offer should provide strong support for Legg Mason's stock. This support might force potential bidders for the company to lodge higher-priced offers.
Potential for Further Action
For months, Legg Mason has been the target of heated speculation from certain corners of the market. Specifically, the company appears to be a prime takeover or merger target for a larger, healthier entity. At this point, Legg Mason's management team is not indicating that such an event is in the cards. In tandem with the release of the exchange offer, a company spokeswoman even went so far as to issue a statement that disavowed any further action on the part of the company or any outside actor.
Investors do not appear to be convinced. There are several private-equity and asset-management firms that could afford to snap up Legg Mason in its distressed state. Although KKR's decision to sever its ties with the company indicates that it is not willing to pursue a deeper relationship, other firms appear more receptive to the prospect of a deal.
New York-based BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) is perennially mentioned as a potential suitor for distressed asset management firms. With its enormous heft, solid credit, and mountains of cash, BlackRock could absorb Legg Mason relatively easily. While its balance sheet is not quite as strong, smaller rival Blackstone Group might wish to become involved in either the current exchange offer or a future merger. Alternatively, Legg Mason might become the target of a going-private takeover that results in a major windfall for the company's shareholders.
Long-Term Prospects and Outlook
Legg Mason's immediate priority involves finding a new chief executive to replace its outgoing boss. The company's board is conducting an extensive external search and should be ready to announce its choice by the end of the first quarter of 2013. Once the new chief is in place, the company's "way forward" may become more obvious.
The roots of Legg Mason's problems are difficult to trace. The under-performance of several of its prominent funds have resulted in a sharp rise in retail outflows during the past few years. With the rise of lower-cost, lower-margin competitors and a host of different fund types, Legg Mason's gold-plated business model may be in need of an overhaul.
As such, the company's choice for its new chief executive will be instructive. If its board selects a conservative "caretaker" figure, the likelihood of a merger, buyout or partial takeover may increase. Alternatively, the selection of a bold or outspoken executive may hint that the board does not believe that the company's problems are terminal. In the aftermath of the exchange offer, investors would do well to pay attention to this choice and act accordingly.

Bomb explodes as Christians leave New Year's Eve Mass.
LOS ANGELES, January 3 (CDN) — At least 21 people were killed and scores were wounded on Saturday (Jan. 1) when a bomb outside a church in Alexandria, Egypt exploded as congregants were leaving a New Year's Eve Mass celebration.
The explosion ripped through the crowd shortly after midnight, killing instantly most of those who died, and leaving the entrance-way to the Church of the Two Saints, a Coptic Orthodox congregation, covered with blood and severed body parts.
The blast overturned at least one car, set several others on fire and shattered windows throughout the block on which the church is located.
Egyptian authorities reportedly said 20 of the victims have been identified. At least 90 other people were injured in the blast, 10 seriously. Among the injured were eight Muslims. Many of the injured received treatment at St. Mark's Hospital.
Burial services for some of the victims started Sunday (Jan. 2) in Alexandria, located in northern Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea.
Witnesses reportedly said a driver parked a car at the entrance of the church and then ran away seconds before it exploded. Government officials have claimed they found remnants of the bomb, filled with nails and other make-shift shrapnel, at the site; they suspect an unidentified suicide bomber, rather than a car bombing.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the attack comes two months after an Islamic group known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) issued a threat stating that, "All Christian centers, organizations and institutions, leaders and followers are legitimate targets for the muhajedeen [Muslim fighters] wherever they can reach them."
Claiming they would open "rivers of blood" upon Christians, the group specifically threatened Egyptian Christians based an unsubstantiated rumor that two Coptic women, both wives of Orthodox clergy, were being held against their will after converting to Islam. The statement came after ISI claimed responsibility for an attack on a Baghdad church during mass in which 58 people were killed.
The Egyptian government continues to suspect foreign elements mounted the Alexandria attack, but an unconfirmed report by The Associated Press, citing anonymous government sources, said an Egyptian Islamic group is being investigated.
Bishop Mouneer Anis, head of the Episcopal Diocese of Egypt, said in a written statement that he thinks the attack was linked to the Iraqi threats. He added that his church has taken greater security measures at its downtown Cairo location.
"We pray with all the people of Egypt, Christians and Muslims, [that they] would unite against this new wave of religious fanaticism and terrorism," he said.
For weeks before the ISI issued its threat, Alexandria was the site of massive protests against the Orthodox Church and its spiritual leader, Pope Shenouda III. Immediately after Friday prayers, Muslims would stream out into the streets surrounding mosques, chant slogans against the church and demand the "return" of the two women. Before that, as early as June, clerics from at least one central Alexandria mosque could be heard broadcasting anti-Christian vitriol from minaret loudspeakers during prayers, instructing Muslims to separate themselves entirely from their Christian countrymen.
The Alexandria bombing comes almost a year after a shooting in Nag Hammadi, Egypt left six Christians and one Muslim security guard dead. In the Jan. 6, 2010 attack, a group of men drove by St. John's Church, 455 kilometers (282 miles) south of Cairo, and sprayed with gunfire a crowd leaving a Coptic Christmas Eve service.
Three men were eventually charged with the shootings, but the case has yet to be resolved.
Egypt wasn't the only place in the Middle East plagued with anti-Christian violence over the holiday season.
The day before bombers struck the Alexandria church, an elderly Christian couple in Baghdad was killed when terrorists placed a bomb outside of their home, rang the doorbell and walked away, according to media and human rights reports. The bombing happened at the same time other Christian-owned homes and neighborhoods throughout Baghdad were being attacked.
Estimates of the number of people wounded in the attacks in Iraq range from nine to more than 13.
Report from Compass Direct News
Local Christians sense authorities, extremists and society in collusion against them.
RABAT, Morocco, June 17 (CDN) — Moroccan Christians say Muslim extremists in the country are aiding and encouraging the government to pursue them by exposing and vilifying them on social networking site Facebook.
Facebook user Gardes Maroc Maroc has posted 32 image collages featuring dozens of Christian converts, calling them "hyena evangelists" or "wolves in lamb's skins" who are trying to "shake the faith of Muslims." That terminology on the website, which is in Arabic, matches that of Morocco's anti-proselytizing law, which outlaws efforts to "shake the faith of Muslims."
The online images depict Christian converts and their families from across the country and include details about their roles and activities in churches, their personal addresses and anecdotal stories attempting to malign them.
"These are some pics of Moroccan convert hyenas," reads one image.
Since March, the Moroccan government has expelled more than 100 foreign Christians for alleged "proselytizing." Authorities failed to give Christians deportation orders or enough time to settle their affairs before they left.
Observers have called this a calculated effort to purge the historically moderate Muslim country, known for its progressive policies, of all Christian elements – both foreign and national.
Amid a national media campaign to vilify Christians in Morocco, more than 7,000 Muslim clerics signed a statement denouncing all Christian activities and calling foreign Christians' aid work "religious terrorism."
On the Facebook page, Gardes Maroc Maroc makes a particularly strident call to Moroccan authorities to investigate adoptive parents of children from the village of Ain Leuh, 50 miles south of Fez. The user claims that local Christians under orders of "foreign missionaries" were attempting to adopt the children so missionary efforts would not "go in vain."
On March 8, the Moroccan government expelled 26 Christian foreign staff members and parents working at Village of Hope in Ain Leuh.
Now efforts against national Christians have gained momentum. One image on the Facebook page challenged the Islamic Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments, saying, "Evangelist hyenas are deriding your Ministry." The page with the images claimed that Christians had rented out an apartment belonging to that government ministry.
An entire page was dedicated to a well-known Christian TV personality in the Middle East, Rashid Hmami, and his family. The user also inserted pictures of hyenas next to those of Christians, presumably to indicate their danger to the nation.
National Christians Threatened
Moroccan Christians told Compass that authorities had begun harassing them even before the forced deportations of foreigners, and that pressure from officials only intensified in March and April.
Since the deportations started in early March, it seems that authorities, extremists and society as a whole have colluded against them, local Christians said. Dozens of Christians have been called to police stations for interrogation. Many of them have been threatened and verbally abused.
"They mocked our faith," said one Moroccan Christian who requested anonymity. "They didn't talk nicely."
Authorities interrogated the convert for eight hours and followed him for three weeks in March and April, he said. During interrogation, he added, local police told him they were prepared to throw him in jail and kill him.
Another Moroccan Christian reported that a Muslim had taken him to court because of his Christian activities. Most Moroccan Christians that spoke to Compass said the attitudes of their Muslim relatives had shifted, and many have been kicked out of their homes or chosen to leave "to not create problems" for their families.
Moroccan converts meet in house churches. Some of them have stopped meeting until the pressure subsides.
"The government is testing the reactions," said Moroccan lawyer Abdel Adghirni of the recent pressure on Christians.
The lawyer, known as one of the strongest defenders of Berber rights in Morocco, said that although the government's recent reactions seem regressive, they are part of the nation's societal transformation process.
"The government is trying to dominate," said Adghirni. "They are defending themselves. They feel the wind of change. All of this is normal for me – like a complex chemistry that activates as different elements come into contact. Things are moving."
Congressional Hearing
In an effort to alert U.S. Congress to the sudden turn against religious tolerance in Morocco, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission is holding congressional hearings today on the deportations of foreign Christians from the country.
Earlier today, the National Clergy Council held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to congratulate the Moroccan government on religious tolerance. Organizers of the congressional hearings said they view the council's press conference as an effort to counter the hearings.
The Rev. Rob Schenck, who heads the council, has had numerous exchanges with Moroccan Islamic leaders and in early April met with the Moroccan ambassador to the United States.
"I have enjoyed a close friendship of several years with the ambassador," Schenck stated on his website.
Organizers of the congressional hearings have said they are baffled that the National Clergy Council, and in particular Schenck, would speak so highly of the Moroccan government at a time when it is in such blatant violation of human rights.
"There's good and bad in every country, but what Morocco has done on the whole to advance religious liberty in that region of the world is extraordinary," Schenck said in a media statement yesterday on Christian Newswire. "We hope to present a fair and balanced picture of this unusual country."
Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.), co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, said that the Moroccan government has deported nearly 50 U.S. citizens.
"In spite of this, the U.S. government has pledged $697.5 million to Morocco over the next five years through the Millennium Challenge Corporation," he said. Wolf is advocating that the United States withhold the nearly $697.5 million in aid that it has pledged to Morocco.
"It is inappropriate for American taxpayer money to go to a nation which disregards the rights of American citizens residing in Morocco and forcibly expels Americans without due process of law," he said.
Among those appearing at the hearing today is Dutch citizen Herman Boonstra, leader of Village of Hope, who was expelled in March. Boonstra and his wife were forced to leave eight adopted children in Morocco. Moroccan authorities have refused re-entry for the couple, as they have for all deported Christian foreigners.
Lawyer Adghirni said he believes Morocco cannot survive and develop economically – and democratically – without national diversity.
"We can't be free without Christians," Adghirni said. "The existence of Christians among us is the proof of liberty."

JENSEN BEACH - When Abdo and Melinda Akl moved to Jensen Beach in 2008, they wanted to bring to the beachfront town a mom-and-pop business that would serve its needs and make life easier for residents.
Four years later, the couple has achieved this twice over, opening two gas stations - across the street from each other - to sell a variety of fuel products and keep prices competitive.
Their ABS Gas and Go stores, which straddle the northeastern end of Jensen Beach Boulevard, sell Powerplus e85 gasoline for flexible-fuel vehicles; recreational 90-octoane for boats, recreational vehicles landscaping equipment and other small engines; diesel and other fuel.
"Basically that's why we have both locations, to cover all these products and to serve our customers with the best prices possible," Mr. Akl said. "One location protects the interest of the other, and accommodates all our customers' fuel needs."
Offering competitive prices is important for the Akls, who've run successful businesses in Massachusetts since 1995.
Owning a previous gas station and garage that offered car sales taught them their business is price sensitive and consumers seek out the best deals.
In their local ABS Gas and Go stores, they say they remain vigilant even with prices on top sellers, such as beer, cigarettes and wine, to continue to earn customer loyalty.
"We love Jensen Beach. We love being here and we love serving our customers," Mr. Akl said. "We look forward to serving them for many more years."
It's a commitment and far-reaching view from a couple who has planted roots in a community where their children now attend school and where they now operate a family business.
"We bring competitive prices back to Jensen Beach. Before we were here, Jensen Beach didn't have competitive prices. People had to go to U.S. 1 (gas stations)," Mr. Akl said. "This is what we were told by our customers, and it is what we strive for: to be competitive."
ABS Gas and Go stores are located at 1700 and 1750 N.E. Jensen Beach Blvd. For more information, call (772) 934-6041 or (772) 934-6917.

Largest LGBTQ Scholarship Organization Will Help 80 Full-Time Students
LOS ANGELES, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Point Foundation (Point) announced this morning that it is awarding scholarships to 23 students. The new scholarship recipients bring Point's total to 80 full-time students who will receive financial assistance and programmatic support from Point during the 2014 – 2015 academic year. Point is the nation's largest scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) students; many of whom have faced obstacles such as bullying and financial hardship.

"Helping hardworking and bright students afford the increasing cost of a college education is an investment in a better future for everyone," said Jorge Valencia, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Point Foundation. "Embracing diversity in education – particularly empowering LGBTQ students – is necessary for building a more equitable and innovative society."
Detailed biography information on each new Point Scholar is available online
Notable facts about the 2014 Class:
Point received more than 2,100 applications for its scholarships. The rigorous selection process requires that candidates demonstrate academic excellence, leadership skills, community involvement and financial need. Attention is paid to students who have lost the financial and social support of their families, as a result of revealing their sexual orientation or gender expression. Point announces its new scholar class annually in June to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month.
Point Scholars agree to maintain a high level of academic performance and to give back to the LGBTQ and allied community through the completion of an individual community service project each year. Every Point Scholar is paired with a mentor and participates in leadership development training with fellow scholars. After graduating, Point Scholars become part of Point's growing alumni network – now 184 strong - of caring individuals and professional contacts throughout the nation.
Point Scholars and Point Alumni will meet July 24 - 27 in Boston for Point's annual Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference. Jason Collins, the first openly gay athlete in professional sports, will receive the Point Leadership Award at the July 25 Leadership Dinner. The award will be presented to Collins by Rep. Joe Kennedy III.
Point Foundation awarded its first eight scholarships in 2002 and has since invested more than $15 million in the programmatic support of its scholars. Individuals, corporations, and organizations can support Point's mission by designating a scholarship with a "Name" -- recognizing the donor, or an individual or institution the donor wishes to honor. Named Scholarship donors pledge $100,000 over four years to cover the financial assistance and programmatic support Point provides its scholars.
New Named Scholarships created for 2014 –15 include Rim-Freeman, KPMG, William J. Levy, Northern Trust, the Took Trust and a third scholarship supported by Janssen Therapeutics.

This was a US 10 / World 38. It took us less than 20 pulls. This is a real-time screenshot of the last seconds of our kill.
Also, before we killed this fight, we also killed 9 other fights, but the difficulty level of 8 of those seemed to have accidentally been tuned to normal instead of heroic, so we didn't post them.

Another tier ends. Great expository works and pretty graphs are coming soon.
This was a US #9 / World #26. And I may have screwed us out of two ranks, but at least I know to use apostrophes in contractions. This is a talent that some of our raiders apparently skipped out on learning when Mists hit if the image at the bottom of this post is any indication. I included it anyway, though, because I'm a good person.

We'e all very much looking forward to Lei Shen progression, which we started tonight, and it's looking like a great fight so far. While it probably won't be Heroic Ragnaros again, it will hopefully live up to its hype.
Just pretend the boss is dead somewhere in here.
Kill video, incredible quality, reverse strategy for better loot:

This was one of the more challenging fights of the tier, taking us just about two and a half nights of raiding to actually get down. The fight concept revolves around having 12 warlocks in the raid who each pick up two of the small anima golems (one on them, one on their pet) and slowly kite them around the perimeter of the room in a hexagonal pattern while chain-taunting them across the middle of the room with their pets when they link.
We used this strategy with great success, and that was at least reasonably close to what we actually did. Kind of.
This was a US 7 / World 25, and now I can't hit a pet follow macro without a strange sense of panic.

This was a US 10 / World 36. We say "world" even though it really just includes EU and NA now, but I think all of the Koreans stopped playing out of fear of an invasion. And they don't count. Or, they do count, as in, they're good at counting, but they don't "count" count.
This fight only took us about a night and a half to get down, and the basic strategy largely relies on how many CDs the raid has to throw at the dogs while your melee stand in fire for 70% of the fight. Like a lot of the content this tier, a raid could basically half-ass most of the fight and as long as they had a reasonable set of CDs lined up for the final phase, they'd probably kill it anyway. It was definitely one of the easiest fights in the tier overall. The most challenging part was probably just figuring out how to properly manage tornados with warlock portals, which is a little trickier than it looks.
