Written by:
(song poem to the music of "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers
Do you know the Father
who loves and forgives us,
sent down His Only Son
to die for you and me?
He's waiting to embrace you
with His goodness, love and mercy
break the chains that bind you
and set your spirit free.
He made this world around us
made us in His image.
All to show His love for you
not caring what you've done.
He wants to bless you daily
send His Loving Holy Spirit
and all He requires of you
is to believe on His Son.
You've got to call on the Father and ask Him to forgive you
dedicate your life to God, believe on His Son.
Ask for the Holy Spirit to come and live within you,
your sins will be forgotten and your new life just begun.
(end chorus)
This old world is getting crazy
you can read it in the paper,
they show it on the t.v.
you can see it every night.
So don't wait until tomorrow
to give your life to Jesus.
For tomorrow might not be here
if you die tonight.
(Repeat Chorus)
Don't let old satan fool you,
don't live your life in darkness.
Open up your heart today
let Jesus come on in.
Then on that glorious morning
when the roll is called up yonder,
your name will be found written
and eternal life you will win.
(Repeat Chorus)

Rapists tell their story : AskReddit
A rapist makes a point oft forgotten about the sheer magnitude of physical dominance larger, stronger people have over smaller, weaker people:
Most girls don't really understand…how much stronger guys are.
Another user responds:
I wish more girls would realize this. I had a friend who put herself in stupid situations quite regularly, but [she] felt like she could take care of herself if she had too. Typical 130ish pound girl. I was a 240 or so and 6'2".
One night, I decided to open her eyes a bit. The topic came up again one way or another, and she was talking about her self defense class. I said, if a good chunk of guys wanted, they could do whatever they wanted to you and you couldn't stop it. She disagreed, I said, "we'll see" and quickly grabbed her and pressed her against a wall. Since I had so much longer reach and much more strength I could hold her there no problem. Initially there was quite a bit of panic on her face, she clawed at my arm a bit and tried to kick but I just let her. After the moment of panic I just said, "now imagine I wanted to hurt you."
The lesson really sunk in for her, I just wish there was an easier way to teach it.
Emphasis mine.
The most cogent argument against teaching women's self-defense classes is that in the attempt to turn sheep into wolves, they will simply give the sheep the illusion that they are wolves.
Size matters. Strength matters. Experience in sports and childhood roughhousing matters. I don't agree with the social or political conclusions that many people draw from these facts, but I do wish that more people were cognizant of just how intimidating and powerful these differences can be, and how they are not overcome with scratching or groin strikes.

Retire overseas on $1,200 a month
It's possible to live in luxury on a pauper's budget — if you're willing to leave North America. Here are five places government benefits will buy a lifestyle that's at least comfortable.
Let's get this out of the way right at the start: Retiring abroad isn't for everyone or even for most people.
But the adventurous can find comfortable, even luxurious, lifestyles in many places that cost them far less than what they would pay at home, said Kathleen Peddicord, the author of How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (For Less) Abroad.
We asked Peddicord, who has written about living and retiring overseas for more than 25 years, to pick out five cities where a couple could retire comfortably on an average allowance of $1,200* a month. Access to good medical care is a must, of course, and all five places on Peddicord's list offer it, as well as very low crime rates and emerging communities of expatriates to help show you the ropes.
"You wouldn't be the first gringo in town, but [in most cases] you wouldn't be joining an established community of thousands," as in some other cities already discovered by expats, said Peddicord, the publisher of the Live and Invest Overseas group. "The places with the truly established and thriving expat communities are going to be more expensive."
People who are considering retiring abroad need to do their research, because countries vary dramatically in how welcoming they are to foreign nationals who want to become residents. Tax laws vary as well, and most Canadians will want to buy health insurance -- either a local plan, which may cost less, or an international plan, which typically offers more flexible coverage. Peddicord said that in Panama, where her family of four lives, local, or "in country," health plans cost as little as $$100 a month but aren't available to people over a certain age (usually early to mid-60s). An international plan with a $3,400 deductible might cost a 60-year-old about $180 a month.
Peddicord's five picks:
Cuenca, Ecuador
Peddicord calls Cuenca "the most affordable place you'd want to live in Latin America." There may be cheaper locales, but in her view they're too far removed from the conveniences and amenities of a city.
Cuenca has the colonial charm of cobblestone streets and soaring cathedrals as well as a mild climate and plenty of cultural happenings. Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as its currency.
Peddicord has a friend who lives there for less than $1,200 a month, including $550 in rent and fees for a 2,600-square-foot apartment with a doorman and underground parking. If you're willing to make do without those amenities, Peddicord said, you could rent a smaller, 600-square-foot "local"-style apartment in an older building for $100 a month.
If you were to buy a home with cash — say, from the sale of your current home — you could live comfortably for $700 a month, including utilities, groceries and entertainment, Peddicord said. Hiring full-time household help would add about $200 to the bill.

Chiang Mai, Thailand
Thousands of expatriate Westerners have discovered the largest city in northern Thailand, where the cost of living is about half that of its better-known (and bigger) rival, Bangkok. Chiang Mai is in a river valley surrounded by mountains, with year-round daytime temperatures in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

A comfortable apartment costs about $400 a month, with $150 for utilities (including high-speed Internet, cable TV, telephone and electricity), $100 for groceries, $150 for full-time household help and $150 for entertainment, including eating out (people rave about the food and the variety of restaurants). Foreigners can't own land, although they can own apartments and condos.

How long before it will be a felony to utter the word 'drugstore?" Now, people know those good folk handing out pills to make you 'feel better" don't work in drug stores! Those nice folk are "pharmacists" and they work in a "pharmaacy!" Towns once had maybe one DRUGSTORE, possibly two. Doctors were accessible in a few minutes without an appointment. Now, towns have PHARMACIES all along main street, in grocery stores, in departments stores and some are open all night long!!! These PHARMACIES hand you pills that MAY help you or they just mite kill you. But, they get your money before they help or kill you. These good people MAY yell "any quesions?" as the car behind honks the horn for their fix. We don't have a DRUGSTORE any more. We have many PHARMACIES!

Found December 12, 2012 on Philly Sports World:
PLAYERS: Ben Revere, Michael Young, Jonathan Papelbon, Darin Ruf, Laynce Nix, John Mayberry, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cody Ross, Nick Swisher, Alfonso Soriano, Josh Hamilton, Ruben Amaro
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers
The Phillies added a couple of nice pieces in two separate trades this past week, but questions still remain and there is still work left to do. In shoring up their need for a centerfielder with former Minnesota Twin Ben Revere, the Phillies effectively dealt with one of the most glaring holes on the team. They also added former All Star Michael Young to the mix to play third base. Potentially, that could do it for their position player moves this offseason, though I highly doubt it. Up next is definitely a battle tested eighth inning set up guy who could bridge the span from starter to closer. A lot of people thought the Phillies paid Jonathan Papelbon too much money last year when they signed him to a 4 year/$50 million deal, but the truth is Papelbon delivered when needed. The real trouble in the bullpen was what happened between starter and closer, so it will benefit the Phillies to nail that down with a veteran arm, someone like Mike Adams. In the meantime, the outfield is currently constructed with Revere in center, Darin Ruf and Laynce Nix platooning in left and Domonic Brown in right. And John Mayberry Jr. is still in the mix as well, but will certainly be relegated to a bench player. While there is power potential in Brown and Ruf, whether either player could deliver on a consistent basis at the big league level is a huge mystery. That mystery is why I believe the Phillies will continue to pursue a power hitting outfielder. The Phillies may have filled some holes thus far, and done so on the cheap, but the fact is this team still lacks power. Outside of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, both of which will enter this season with major question marks about their health, no one is a 25+ home run hitter on this team. With right handed options like Cody Ross and the switch hitting Nick Swisher still available, the Phillies are likely to add one more piece. The question becomes at who's expense that piece will be added? Adding a corner outfielder will significantly reduce the chance for one of the aforementioned players to play. Will it be Domonic Brown, the long time top prospect turned dud? Or will it be Darin Ruff, the long time depth player turned Home Run King at 25? If and when the Phillies add that corner outfielder, it may very well be the end for Domonic Brown in the Phillies organization. Shuttling Brown back and forth from the minors to the bigs hurt his confidence and never allowed him the full chance to play at the major league level. When he got his chance during the second half of last year, he didn't exactly secure his spot. I get the feeling the Phillies have seen enough. Brown's days are numbered. Rumors have already surfaced that the Phillies have spoken with the Chicago Cubs about Domonic Brown and Alfonso Soriano swap. The rumor that the Phillies offered Josh Hamilton a 3-year/$80 million deal have also swirled in the last 24 hours. Adding Hamilton, another left hander, would make Dom Brown even more expendable. Darin Ruf is a righty, and if he proves he can play may the be piece that the Phillies need to break up Utley, Howard and Hamilton in the lineup. Any way you slice it, the Phillies are not done making moves.Similar Posts: Phillies hot stove already warming – A look at early outfield rumors Is Ruben Amaro Jr. saving his pennies for Josh Hamilton?

Thanks everyone. The negotiations have been frustrating, and I don't really trust either side right now. Your comments have helped a lot, and I'll speak with my union rep.posted by taz at 10:10 PM on February 10, 2013
> Many of these answers assume industries where unions are prominent and common. Aerospace engineering is not that way.
Well, I've run into "why do we even HAVE a union?" kind of attitudes, and maybe that happens less in other industries? To be honest, I feel like there's a little social pressure NOT to strike, but talking about the union feels as messy as politics/religion, so I don't really know what my coworkers think. I do feel much more confident about joining a strike after reading these comments, so thanks to everyone for that, too.
(For what it's worth, I do prefer having the union over not having it, even if I'm not a diehard supporter. Our union publishes detailed salary data after we get raises every year, and that transparency alone is a specific, tangible benefit that's almost worth the union fees.)
Anyway, I'd love to learn more about how my union (or other unions in industries that usually don't have unions) might differ from typical unions. If anyone has any resources (books, articles, master's theses, search terms -- "white collar unions"?), please let me know.
Thanks again!

Out of more than a thousand kinds of trees, shrubs, ferns, and flowering herbs on the Olympic Peninsula, 28 are described in the following paragraphs. While this is but a small fraction of the total number, they represent the most common and noticeable plants that can be identified easily.
The park is a sanctuary for all natural features, and care should be taken not to disturb, injure, or destroy trees, flowers, or other plant life.
DOUGLAS-FIR (Pseudotsuga taxifolia).The tree that gives principal distinction to the Northwest forests. Growing from sea level to 5,000 feet elevation, it is the most abundant and widespread tree on the Olympic Peninsula. Average mature trees in the virgin forests of the lowlands are 180 to 250 feet in height and 4 to 6 feet in diameter. Many are considerably larger in girth, the largest on record being 17 feet 8 inches. This tree is located in the Queets River Valley, about 3-1/2 miles by trail from the end of the road. Next to the sequoias of California the Douglas-fir is the largest tree in the forests of the Western Hemisphere.
Large Douglas-fir trees in the forest commonly have nearly cylindrical boles, clear of limbs for a hundred feet. Such trees have a reddish-brown bark which is rough with ridges and deep furrows. The cones, whether on the tree or on the ground beneath the tree, provide easy and reliable identification. They are mostly 2-1/2 to 3 inches long with 3-pointed, thin bracts protruding among the scales. The seeds are a favorite food of the Douglas squirrel.
WESTERN REDCEDAR (Thuja plicata).Grows in the valley bottoms and other moist places. Although it is mainly a lowland tree, it extends up into the Canadian Life Zone wherever conditions are favorable for its growth. Large trees in the forest average 150 to 175 feet in height and 3 to 8 feet in diameter. The largest western redcedar on record is in the park, near the road, on the north side of Lake Quinault. It is 20 feet in diameter.
The trunk of the western redcedar commonly tapers rapidly from a swollen and sometimes fluted base. Its bark is thin, fibrous, and stringy. The foliage hangs in long, lacy sprays. It is the only tree of the lowland forests which has leaves that are tiny, overlapping scales.
WESTERN HEMLOCK (Tsuga heterophylla).Abundant in Northwest forests up to about 3,000 feet elevation. Large forest trees are 125 to 175 feet in height and 2 to 4 feet in diameter. The largest recorded specimen of this tree is 9 feet in diameter and is located above Enchanted Valley in the park. Western hemlock can be identified by its foliage and cones. The needles vary in length from one-fourth to nearly an inch and are pliable and round-pointed. The lacy sprays of foliage have a delicate appearance. The top shoot of the tree bends over in an arc. This is the identifying characteristic if the top of the tree can be seen. The cones, about three-fourths of an inch long, are usually abundant near the ends of the branches.
PACIFIC SILVER FIR (Abies amabilis).A tree of middle elevations, or the Canadian Life Zone. In favorable growing sites, it attains a height of 140 to 160 feet and a diameter of 2 to 4 feet. A striking characteristic of this needle-leaved tree is its smooth, ashy-gray bark, conspicuously marked with chalky-white areas and numerous resin blisters.
ALPINE FIR (Abies lasiocarpa).The spirelike tree. of the highest life zone, the Hudsonian. Under favorable growing conditions it reaches a height of 60 to 90 feet, but at timberline it is a twisted, stunted growth only a few feet high. Its narrow crown extends to the ground, which makes this tree particularly susceptible to crown fires. Many ridgetop areas have "silver" forests of bleached trunks of fire-killed alpine fir. The purple to gray-purple cones, 2 to 4 inches long, stand upright on the branches as in all true firs.
ALASKA YELLOW-CEDAR (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis).This Hudsonian Life Zone tree can easily be identified by its foliage. The slender, drooping branches and flat, weeping sprays appear to be wilted.
SITKA SPRUCE (Picea sitchensis).A coastwise tree from Alaska to California. In the park it is common only in the rain forest on the west side. There, large trees are 125 to 225 feet in height and 3 to 8 feet in diameter. Many are 10 feet or more in diameter. The largest specimen recorded is 16 feet 3 inches in diameter and is located in the park about 4 miles above the Hoh Ranger Station. Sitka spruce and the three preceding species comprise what might be called the "big four" in Olympic forests. It is of interest that the largest recorded specimen of each of these four kinds of trees is located within the park.
Sitka spruce can be identified by its stiff and very sharp-pointed needles. They are 1/2 to 1-1/4 inches long and extend outward from all sides of the twig. It can be distinguished from other associated trees by the thin silvery-gray to purplish-gray scales on its bark. The base of the tree is commonly enlarged because of the massive roots that grew downward from the top of a stump or large fallen tree where the seed germinated.
The leaves are of tiny, overlapping scales. This tree could be confused with the western redcedar, but as the two grow at different elevations identification should be easy.
PACIFIC MADRONE (Arbutus menziesii).Tree of the lower elevations, which can be distinguished from all others by its smooth, reddish-brown trunk and branches and its shiny, leathery, broad-leaved, evergreen foliage. The bark of the trunk may be loosely scaly, peeling off in long, thin, irregular pieces. This is especially noticeable in late summer when new, light-green bark is exposed by the flaking away of the older red bark.

Sfa1p is a member of the class III alcohol dehydrogenases (EC:22.214.171.1244), which are bifunctional enzymes containing both alcohol dehydrogenase and glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase activities (3, 6, 7, 8). The glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity of Sfa1p is required for the detoxification of formaldehyde (3), and the alcohol dehydrogenase activity of Sfa1p can catalyze the final reactions in phenylalanine and tryptophan degradation (8). Sfa1p is also able to act as a hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) reductase and catabolize HMF, a compound formed in the production of certain biofuels (9). Sfa1p has been localized to the cytoplasm (10) and the mitochondria (11), and can act on a variety of substrates, including S-hydroxymethylglutathione, phenylacetaldehyde, indole acetaldehyde, octanol, 10-hydroxydecanoic acid, 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid, and S-nitrosoglutathione (6, 7, 8).
The five ethanol dehydrogenases (Adh1p, Adh2p, Adh3p, Adh4p, and Adh5p) as well as the bifunctional enzyme Sfa1p are also involved in the production of fusel alcohols during fermentation (8). Fusel alcohols are end products of amino acid catabolism (of valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine) via the Ehrlich pathway and contribute to the flavor and aroma of yeast-fermented foods and beverages (12). They may also have physiological roles. For example, exposing cells to isoamyl alcohol, derived from catabolism of leucine, stimulates filamentous growth (13, 14). Similarly, other fusel alcohols also stimulate filamentous growth in S. cerevisiae and biofilm formation in the pathogens Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis (15, 16, reviewed in 12).
Transcription of SFA1 is controlled by Sko1p, a negative regulator of the Hog1p transcription regulation pathway. SFA1 is induced in sko1 null mutants and in cells overproducing the transcription factor Yap1p (17, 4). Sfa1p expression is also induced by chemicals such as formaldehyde, ethanol and methyl methanesulfonate (3). sfa1 null mutants are viable and display hypersensitivity to formaldehyde (18), whereas overproduction of Sfa1p results in increased resistance to formaldehyde (18, 3).
Sfa1p displays similarity to Adh1p, Adh2p, Adh3p and Adh5p, and to the alcohol dehydrogenases of Escherichia coli, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Kluyveromyces lactis, Candida albicans, Candida maltosa, horse, rat, and mouse, as well as human ADH2 and ADH3, which are associated with the development of Parkinson disease (19, 6, 3). Sfa1p also exhibits similarity to the glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase of Arabidopsis (FALDH), which is able to complement the formaldehyde-hypersensitivity defects of sfa1 null mutants (20). Sfa1p is also similar to the glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenases of mouse and human (ADH5), which are involved in the catabolism of S-nitrosoglutathione, a type of S-nitrosothiol central to signal transduction and host defense (7).
About glutathione-dependent formaldehyde oxidation
Formaldehyde is formed by oxidative demethylation reactions in many plants and methylotrophic organisms, but Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a nonmethylotrophic yeast and cannot metabolize methanol to formaldehyde. However, S. cerevisiae is exposed to exogenous formaldehyde from plant material or in polluted air and water.
Concentrations of formaldehyde of 1mM or higher are cytostatic or cytotoxic to haploid wild-type cells. Any free formaldehyde in vivo spontaneously reacts with glutathione to form S-hydroxymethylglutathione (20, 2, 21). The level of enzymes involved in the degradation of formaldehyde, such as Sfa1p and Yjl068p, determine the level of formaldehyde toxicity, and cells overproducing Sfa1p are resistant to formaldehyde and null mutants in either sfa1 or yjl068c are hypersensitive to formaldehyde. Sfa1p is induced in response to chemicals such as formaldehyde (FA), ethanol and methyl methanesulphonate, and Yjl068p is also induced in response to chemical stresses (22, 2, 21, 3, 18, 23, 24).
Formate dehydrogenase is encoded by FDH1/YOR388C and FDH2. In some strain backgrounds of S. cerevisiae, FDH2 is encoded by a continuous open reading frame comprised of YPL275W and YPL276W. However, in the systematic sequence of S288C, FDH2 is represented by these two separate open reading frames due to an in frame stop codon (25).
About the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (MDR) family
Medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (MDRs), sometimes referred to as long-chain dehydrogenases (26), constitute an ancient and widespread enzyme superfamily with members found in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota (27, 28). Many MDR members are basic metabolic enzymes acting on alcohols or aldehydes, and thus these enzymes may have roles in detoxifying alcohols and related compounds, protecting against environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, reduced or elevated temperatures, or oxidative stress (27). The family also includes the mammalian zeta-crystallin lens protein, which may protect the lens against oxidative damage and enzymes which produce lignocellulose in plants (27).
MDR enzymes typically have subunits of about 350 aa residues and are two-domain proteins, with a catalytic domain and a second domain for binding to the nicotinamide cofactor, either NAD(H) or NADP(H) (27, 28). They contain 0, 1, or 2 zinc atoms (29). When zinc is present, it is involved in catalysis at the active site.
Based on phylogenetic and sequence analysis, the members of the MDR superfamily can be further divided into more closely related subgroups (27, 28). In families which are widespread from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, some members appear conserved across all species, while others appear to be due to lineage specific duplications. Some subgroups are only found in certain taxa. S. cerevisiae contains fifteen (27) or twenty-one (28) members of the MDR superfamily, listed below. The difference in number is due to six sequences that were included as members of the quinone oxidoreductase family by Riveros-Rosas et al. (28) but not by Nordling et al. (27).
Zinc-containing enzyme groups:
- PDH; "polyol" dehydrogenase family - BDH1, BDH2, SOR1, SOR2, XYL2
- ADH; class III alcohol dehydrogenase family - SFA1
- Y-ADH; "yeast" alcohol dehydrogenase family - ADH1, ADH2, ADH3, ADH5
- CADH; cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase family - ADH6, ADH7
Non-zinc-containing enzyme groups:
- NRBP; nuclear receptor binding protein (28) or MRF; mitochondrial respiratory function (27) family - ETR1
- QOR; quinone oxidoreductase family - ZTA1 (27, 28), AST1, AST2, YCR102C, YLR460C, YMR152W, YNL134C (28)
- LTD; leukotriene B4 dehydrogenases - YML131W
- ER; enoyl reductases (28) or ACR; acyl-CoA reductase (27) family - no members in S. cerevisiae

On June 22, exactly three years after the worst rail accident in Washington, D.C. history, Mayor Vincent C. Gray joined national and local officials, and representatives of families of those killed or injured, to honor the victims with a plaque.
Mayor Gray unveiled a permanent memorial to the nine people who died in the train collision. The plaque, located on the New Hampshire Avenue/Charles Langley Bridge which spans the tracks where the crash occurred, reads:
On behalf of the residents of the District of Columbia
we will always remember those who perished
June 22, 2009
The bronze plaque lists the names of the victims: Jeanice E. McMillan, Train Operator; and passengers Mary "Mandy" Doolittle, Veronica "Ronnie" Dubose, Ana Fernandez, Dennis R. Hawkins, Lavonda "Nikki" King, Ann Wherley, Maj. Gen. David F. Wherley Jr. and Cameron Taihi Williams.
"Today we unveil a memorial plaque that will serve as an everlasting testament to these nine members of our community," Mayor Gray said in a statement. "They left us too soon, but we will forever remember what happened here. We will remember the fallen and find joy in their lives and the ways in which they enriched the world around them."
Mayor Gray, National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah P. Hersman and Metro officials described safety improvements to the Metro system, including the electronic circuits that send messages to metro cars that were determined to be the cause of the 2009 crash.

U.S. SEC awards record $14 mln to whistleblower
WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - U.S. securities regulators announced Tuesday they have awarded a record $14 million to a whistleblower who helped enforcement lawyers with an investigation that helped recover "substantial" investor funds.
This marks the largest-ever whistleblower award the Securities and Exchange Commission has paid out since it launched its new whistleblower incentive program under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law.
The SEC did not identify the case, saying the whistleblower wishes to remain anonymous. (Reporting by Sarah N. Lynch; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick)

How Should Christians Respond to Other Religions?
- Wednesday, August 27, 2014
The relativist approach runs into the same biblical problem as the universalist approach. Christ not only claimed to be "the way" but also "the truth." He called his followers to go throughout the world making disciples, which entails conversion to the truth. God is never portrayed as one choice among many but as the only God.
Ultimately, a relativistic approach to religions crumbles under the same difficulty as relativism in general—it is a self-defeating philosophy. Relativism proceeds on the idea that ultimate or universal truth is non-existent, but the claim that there is no universal truth is itself a universal truth. Further, relativism is incapable of condemning any action or attitude, since there is no standard by which to judge. In relativism, acts of terrorism and acts of charity are equally valid ways to demonstrate one's commitment to religion. However, most people easily recognize these acts are not equally valid because of their universal sense of right and wrong. Though some may argue for a relativistic approach to religion, they never fully embrace it because of these difficulties.
A third approach to religion is inclusivism. In inclusivism, one's own religion is the supreme religion, but other religions have truths that will ultimately lead to the truth found in the supreme religion. From a Christian perspective, that means that one can only be saved in Christ, but the Bible is not the only revelation of Christ. On the more liberal end of this perspective, proponents argue that sincere worshippers in other religions may be saved if they follow their religion and never have a chance to hear of Christ and Christianity. They believe the Quran has truths in it inspired by the Holy Spirit, so a devout Muslim who never hears of Christ may be saved by following these inspired truths in the Quran. On the more conservative end of this approach, proponents believe that someone may become a Christian by believing the gospel of Christ but continue to worship in their original religion. Thus, a Muslim may put faith in Christ but continue to practice as a Muslim because of the inspired truths in the Quran. An inclusivist would practice proselytizing but may not consider it an urgent matter.
Inclusivism does take seriously the biblical teaching that salvation is in Christ alone. It also recognizes the biblical teaching that some revelation of God has gone out to all people, i.e., general revelation. However, it fails to incorporate the Bible's teaching on how an individual is saved through Christ. There are no biblical examples of a person being saved without knowledge of Christ. Rather, Paul states that people cannot believe in someone of whom they have never heard. Jesus' command to go and make disciples would be less significant if salvation were possible apart from the proclamation of the Gospel. Inclusivism actually makes general revelation salvific in nature when the Bible never indicates that general revelation is able to lead to salvation. Romans 1 and Romans 2 both point to general revelation as important for the condemnation of all people, since people universally suppress the truth God has revealed about himself and his moral law, leaving unbelievers with no excuse.
On the more conservative end, proponents fail to incorporate the biblical teaching of conversion. Though they rightly recognize that salvation comes through faith in Christ, they minimize the transformative effects of that salvation. Salvation includes regeneration, which enables believers to turn from their sinful ways and turn to serve Christ alone. One of the evidences of regeneration is a rejection of false religion to embrace biblical Christianity. The proponents also distort the teaching of inspiration. The Bible claims inspiration for itself but does not extend that inspiration outside of itself. Any truth in other religions can be traced to general revelation and common grace rather than inspiration.

StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm interview with Chris Metzen
Not only did I get to chat with the voice of Jim Raynor earlier this week at the Heart of the Swarm launch event in Irvine, CA, I also stopped by Blizzard HQ to interview Chris Metzen, Blizzard's VP of Story and Franchise Development, about the story of Heart of the Swarm... and beyond. Among the topics discussed are games as storytelling tools, where Kerrigan fits into Blizzard's roster of iconic characters, and what Thrall would order at Outback Steakhouse.

MORGANTOWN, WV - The Rutgers volleyball team (9-13, 3-3 BIG EAST) defeated West Virginia 3-2 (31-29, 20-30, 34-32, 23-30 and 15-12) to even its BIG EAST record as it played in its fifth five-game match of the season.
RU jumped on the Mountaineers (5-16, 1-5 BIG EAST) early, hitting .459 in the first game while tallying 20 kills. Junior Dawn Christjaener (Huntington Beach, CA) led three Scarlet Knights in double-digit kills with 18, while contributing 14 digs for her eighth double-double of the season. Senior Shayla Bush (Spokane, WA) was the team's leader on defense with 22 digs to go along with her 17 kills.
Sophomore Ashleigh Young (Albany, OR) continued to patrol the net for the Knights, registering six block assists and adding 15 kills. Junior Abbey Martin (Topeka, KS) led the team in assists with 58.
RU heads to Pittsburgh on Sunday, Oct. 26, where it will be looking to push its conference record above .500 in a 2:00 p.m. match against the Panthers.

This is a geat product, seems durable and looks good. They are a little more "natural" or "beachy" looking than I thought because they are lighter in real life versus the pic. But luckily, I still like them and they work great.
The shade was perfect for the window in my front door. I knew I would have to cut it down to size, and it was the easiest shade to adjust that I have ever purchased. Shade is semi-transparent, provides a little privacy, yet still allows some light to filter through
The bamboo roman shades are just perfect! I placed two 33 inch shades in my redecorated rec room and they look great. I have never ordered or used roman shades before and I was concerned because my windows are exactly 33 inches wide and the instructions tell you to deduct between 1/4 or 1/2 inch (don't remember the exact size) off your actual measurement when ordering, to take into account the hardware/brackets. Since I could not find this mandalin bamboo roman shade in any size smaller than 33 inches, I took a chance, hoping the shades would still fit. It turns out they fit perfectly! The brackets provided can be adjusted to help make for a really good, custom looking fit. I love the way the light filters through during the day. It is really pretty. If you are looking for a blackout shade, this is NOT for you. I am so glad I purchased these - and you will be, too. A very good buy. Thanks Overstock!
Just what I was looking for. Very stylish shades.
Used in a small Bathroom frosted window. Enough privacy if the shade is dowwn and the window open. Color seems to blend well with naturals, leaning to the green side. Looks very nice and you can not beat the price! Bought bamboo Roman Shades from Overstock for every room, but one. There I bought the cellular shade.
It doesn't really look like the picture...much darker, and a little cheesy. For example, the pulls on the ropes are plastic.
Love these blinds, I bought them for all my kitchen windows, lthey look great!
I've never had a roman shade before but this one was very pleasing. It operated smoothly and was a breeze to install. Took my husband just a few minutes. The color is possibly a little more yellow toned than the picture reflects but that may just be my lighting in the house. Will probably buy another!
Product is better than displayed; looks great! Good value.
The shades look great in my windows. They seem to go well with contemporary designs.

Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Catalysis of the cleavage of the C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA by a beta-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate.
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by removing nucleotide residues from the 3' or 5' end.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with zinc (Zn) ions.
The progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events. Canonically, the cell cycle comprises the replication and segregation of genetic material followed by the division of the cell, but in endocycles or syncytial cells nuclear replication or nuclear division may not be followed by cell division.
Any process in which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents. In eukaryotes genetic recombination can occur by chromosome assortment, intrachromosomal recombination, or nonreciprocal interchromosomal recombination. Intrachromosomal recombination occurs by crossing over. In bacteria it may occur by genetic transformation, conjugation, transduction, or F-duction.
The process of restoring DNA after damage. Genomes are subject to damage by chemical and physical agents in the environment (e.g. UV and ionizing radiations, chemical mutagens, fungal and bacterial toxins, etc.) and by free radicals or alkylating agents endogenously generated in metabolism. DNA is also damaged because of errors during its replication. A variety of different DNA repair pathways have been reported that include direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, photoreactivation, bypass, double-strand break repair pathway, and mismatch repair pathway.

Cody Eiler — a business administration major and Academic All-American in football — spent some time recently perfecting his pitch.
On March 1, he was among 20 other NWU students who went before a panel of company presidents and CEOs and gave an elevator speech on a product he feels people can't turn down.
Eiler, a senior from O'Neill, introduced a salad bowl with a built-in dressing dispenser. The dispenser will hold, measure, and disperse dressing across a salad.
"My group and I decided that with the fast-pace lifestyle that most people live in, it would be very beneficial," said Eiler. "It would be made in all shapes and sizes and would be very handy for a business person, teacher, or child to take to the workplace or school."
Students participating in the Quick Pitch Competition had just 90 seconds to sell their product pitch.
The Quick Pitch Competition was part of the university's fifth annual Business Summit, which brings to campus presidents and CEOs of businesses from across the country. This year, 39 business leaders from all walks — investment companies, law firms, banks, jewelry companies, sportswear businesses, marketing agencies, and health clubs — shared their experiences and advice with NWU undergraduates.
James Perry, assistant professor of professional studies, started the summit as a way to motivate students and get them thinking about their future business careers. The summit provides another opportunity to infuse the university's liberal arts curriculum with entrepreneurial values.
"The quick pitch contest is a great way to showcase one's public speaking skills and sales ability," said senior business administration major Ashton Honnor.
Students from a wide variety of academic majors took part in this year's event, presenting ideas ranging from hair removal products to delivery companies to nutritional supplements.
This year's winner was junior Richard Durand. His pitch for a third party employee evaluation for retail and specialty shops earned him a new IPad and $100. Durand said his idea would result in better customer service and product knowledge for customers. Second place went to senior Andee Christensen who pitched a "Cone of Silence" to use when earphones are not enough to shut off disruptive noise. Third place went to first-year student Blake Whitney, who pitched the idea of a website where students could buy or sell class notes and study guides. Students would be able to see a portion of the notes and guides prior to checkout to assure quality materials.
"I think with the time limit you are given it really makes you focus on the important topics," Eiler said of the competition. "This is the same with life, as well. Sometimes you only have a minute or two to make that first good impression on someone. This is a great learning activity for the real world."

Preston - A portion of Route 2 in Preston has reopened following a head-on collision between two vehicles Friday afternoon that shut the road down for several hours.
Preston Fire Marshal Thomas Casey said first responders arrived at the scene of the crash to find three victims, including one person who had to be extricated from a vehicle. Two patients were transported to The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich.
The accident occurred just east of Hewitt Road, and both vehicles sustained heavy front-end damage. State police were still out at the scene at 10 p.m.
The state Department of Transportation reported that the accident occurred at 5:25 p.m. The road was reopened as of 10:40 p.m.

Historical Map: Montreal Metro Map, July 1979
From the days before the current colour-coding of the lines and the now-iconic black background. Here, we have dark blue (or black: it's hard to tell from this picture) instead of green for Line 1, and red instead of orange for Line 2. Line 4 retains its yellow color, and the three colours combined also form part of the Metro's branding at the base of the map.
The map itself is fairly blocky and primitive, and the stairstepping effect on Line 1 in the eastern portion of the map creates some problems with label placement. The shoreline is strangely detailed in comparison with the rest of the map.
The enormous "no smoking" icon is much larger than the agency logo, and apparently, way too many people interfere with the doors.
Our rating: An interesting look at the early days of Montreal's map, although it's not very memorable in itself. Two stars.

Historical Map: Montreal Tramways Company, 1941
Here's a very handsome map of transit in 1941 Montreal, provided by the Montreal Tramways Company, or La Compagnie des Tramways de Montreal. Despite the name, there's also a healthy (and growing) number of bus routes on this map, shown in blue.
Cleverly, the map rotates the city away from true north in order to fit everything onto the sheet of paper allocated, and the north pointer used is simply lovely, even including the company's "MTC" monogram.
The map does a lot with just three colours, clearly differentiating between bus and tram services while highlighting regular services versus supplementary/rush hour ones with a minimum of fuss. The callout boxes for main stations are lovely, with the names contained within an ornate scroll at the top of the box.
My favourite part of the map, however, is how it effortlessly deals with the requirement to present information in both French and English. It even goes so far as to have one information box say "Index of/des Routes" while the other states "Index des/of Routes", so that no-one feels that the other side got a better deal.
Finally, the roundel that the MTC uses for its logo looks awfully familiar...
Our rating: Quite lovely — clear and stylish. Four stars!

Unofficial Map: Montreal Métro in the style of the London Tube Map
Here's a fun little piece sent my way by Montreal-based designer Corey Landel: the Métro de Montréal redesigned in the style of the iconic London Underground map.
While it's definitely a fun little homage, I do feel that Corey could have pushed a little harder to match the designs more closely and demonstrate a better understanding of the "Beckian" principles at play behind the design of the Tube map (in short, absolute simplification of route lines, even spacing of stations and eradication of any angles other than multiples of 45).
Because, if you're going to create something "in the style of", why not go the whole way?
A few thoughts, based on the concept that the idea is to get this map as close to the style of the Underground Map as possible:
Gill Sans as used here is an acceptable alternative to Johnston Sans, but there are also pretty decent free versions of Johnston to be found on the Internet. Worth it for the distinctive diamond-shaped tittles alone.
The zig-zagging route at each end of the Green Line on Corey's map would never be present on the Underground Map. The jog between Verdun and Joilcoeur would be eliminated, while the whole eastern end would follow one straight path, with perhaps one change in direction to a vertical line for the last few stations if space restraints demanded it (as it looks like it might here).
On a similar note, the non-standard angles on the Yellow Line would also be verboten on the Underground Map. There's really no reason why it just can't be a straight horizontal line, except to conform to the underlying geography. Which brings me to my next point…
Treatment of rivers: On the Tube Map, the Thames is treated diagrammatically, the same as the route lines. The approach on Corey's map pretty much mirrors that of the official Montreal map, with stylised/simplified geography underlying a diagrammatic representation of the lines.
The suburban trains shown on this map are analogous to the London Overground, so perhaps they could be treated in a similar way. However, this does create a colour clash with the Orange Line that doesn't exist on the Tube map. A compromise could be to use the white-stroked line from the Underground map, but a different colour, like the lovely purple the official STM map used to have before the recent redesign.
Other general aesthetic differences include the lack of curves in the route lines as they change direction, the look of the standard station tick (there's no curved cap on the Tube Map's symbol) and the thickness of the black keyline around the interchange station symbols.
Pro Tip: The official London Tube Map PDF is not protected in any way and is fully openable and editable in Adobe Illustrator. Any aspiring transit map designer should really download a copy, open it up and see what makes it tick. I know that doing this aided my understanding of transit map design principles immensely.

Submission - Official Map: Montreal Metro Route Direction Map
Submitted by Sean Hunt, who says:
A (sadly, slightly blurry) image of the Montreal Metro's maps on the platform, displaying clearly which direction the line is going as well as the time to each station along the way.
Transit Maps says:
A nice, clear way to integrate travel information for a single line into a system-wide map. Reducing the width of the lines for the other routes instantly raises the designated route (here, the Blue Line towards Snowdon) higher in the information hierarchy. The current station and the final destination are repeated in text form above and below the map for extra emphasis and the direction of travel is indicated with a Great Big Arrow. Just in case you haven't grasped things yet, there's a big magenta "You Are Here" starburst on the current station, which might just be taking things a little too far, in my opinion.
Montréal Métro Map Weirdness
Submitted by Steve Rohde, who's noticed an odd little optical illusion in the Montréal Métro map…
Steve says: One little annoyance that didn't get fixed in this update is an illusion that causes the subway route width appear to vary. Compare the following two Orange Line segments:
Segment 1 looks thinner than segment 2, probably due to the difference in station density.
Matt Johnson sends these photos of great ads that use a subway map theme that he saw in the Montreal Metro on a recent trip. The interesting thing here is that these aren't created by an ad agency riffing off the subway map theme, but are produced by the transit agency (the Société de transport de Montréal or STM) themselves, as informational ads regarding public transport and upcoming popular events.
The ads have a nice consistent design look that ties in well with other elements of the STM's corporate identity. The four colours of the Metro map are integrated nicely, although the one thing the ads do is make the Metro map itself look a little dowdy and old-fashioned in comparison! While the rest of the STM's look has moved on, the map is still firmly rooted in the past.
Official Map: Bus Routes of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada
This map was nominated by Tumblr user Tevi as the worst transit map ever. While I don't agree, as the map is at least competently drawn, it does have some serious shortcomings, not the least of which is knowing how much detail is too much.
Have we been there? No
What we like: The blue background behind the map is a refreshing change from white or neutral grey, and the north pointer is quite lovely (north pointers are often very generic and boring, so it's good to see a nice one).
What we don't like: The first infuriating thing: the lack of a legend or key that explains what the different styles of route lines represent. Why do some have a white dotted line in the middle? Why are some dashed? It was only after 20 minutes of study that I realised that the dotted route lines correspond to Minibus and Taxibus services. I'm still not entirely sure what the dashed lines represent. Peak-hour only?
To my mind, there's too much unnecessary route detail on the map. Do users of the map really need to see the separate entry and exit ramps that the buses use to access or leave the freeway in order to get to their destination? It just adds extra visual clutter to the map and could be simplified.
The rainbow circle of routes around the Université de Sherbrooke really needs some work, and the less said about the inset of the city centre, the better - it barely shows any more detail than the main map and seems to be very confused. I still can't work out the exact placement of the Dépot station…
Our rating: At first glance, looks quite good, but has some fatal usability flaws that make it very difficult to use. Two stars.

Official Map: Métro de Montréal, Québec, Canada
Requested by pomme-poire-peche
Montréal's Metro map instantly stands out from the crowd by virtue of its black background - a feature only rarely seen in transit maps. Although the idea of a subway serving Montréal was first tabled in the early 1900s, it wasn't until 1966 that it finally opened.
Have we been there? No.
What we like: Graphically bold and clean. Black background and subdued colour for the waterways really allow the thick, colourful route lines to stand out. Really like the "coloured square" effect for interchange stations between the Métro and the commuter rail lines. The geography shown, while still based in reality, is abstract enough to work well with the bold route lines.
What we don't like: I'm not a fan of the small caps type treatment for station names – it breaks up the names and looks awkward when placed in the coloured boxes at the ends of the lines. The north pointer and legend look unfortunately generic, while the placement of the elevator symbols is abysmal (pomme-poire-peche asked me to ignore these, as they apparently aren't there on the maps in stations, but they're kind of hard not to notice!). Some of the curves and angles on the commuter rail lines seem poorly chosen or drawn.
Our rating: I love it when a map is so distinctive that it couldn't possibly be from anywhere else in the world than the city it represents - and this is definitely all Montréal's. A few minor flaws detract from the overall quality, but this is better than the average map. Three-and-a-half stars.

The Edmonton Oilers have been out of the playoff race for as long as everyone associated with the organization would like to recall. But that hasn't stopped them from playing hard and competing, game in, game out. They are currently riding a three game winning streak, beating playoff-bound teams along the way.
There's something to be said about a team playing with little worries about the standings. They are firmly entrenched at the bottom of the conference and the entire league, as well, boasting a whopping 55 points to their credit. Even if they run the table down the stretch, highly unlikely as it is, they will only move up one position in the entire National Hockey League standings.
But let's not put a damper on this winning streak. The Oilers haven't had much to smile about this season.
First off, losing at the rate the Oilers have this season, makes everyone involved completely miserable. Secondly, the myriad of injuries to key players throughout the season, including Ales Hemsky and thought-to-be free agent prize Nikolai Khabibulin, have left a team already questionable in talent, that much thinner. Then the embarrassing off-ice saga with aforementioned Khabibulin, to pour salt on the already gaping wound that is the 2009-10 season in Edmonton, has tested the character and leadership of this once proud organization.
But credit to head coach Pat Quinn and assistant coach Tom Renney for being able to keep this beleaguered bunch motivated and playing hard. It also helps that Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers and Devan Dubnyk have given the Oilers something they haven't had through a large majority of the season and that is good goaltending. Drouin-Deslauriers and Dubnyk have stolen the show these last three games, Dubnyk especially.
In the wins against the San Jose Sharks and the Detroit Red Wings, the 2004 first round pick stopped 61 out of a possible 64 shots, many of them of the high quality variety. For Dubnyk, the time is now to really make a statement with the organization that selected him 14th overall six years ago.
Although he only has played 15 games in total this season, in a world that adheres to the mantra 'what have you done for me lately?', Dubnyk is leaving the Oilers brass with something to think about. As long as he maintains his recent high level of play, the Regina native will get a fair shot going forward.
Drouin-Deslauriers, before his solid performance against the rival Vancouver Canucks, was struggling, just like his team, losing three straight. But in Tuesday's 3-2 win against their division rivals, the lanky lefty didn't drop the proverbial ball that Dubnyk had previously carried the in the previous wins. He flashed his lightning glove against Sedin Twins Inc. and preserved the win that may very well hurt those Canucks effort to obtain home ice in the first round.
It's all about the little things and ask anyone around the league in the Oilers current scenario, playing for pride is a given, but hurting teams ahead of you in the standings, especially divisional rivals is a sweet perk as well.
What has also been a sweet perk for the Oilers, amidst this mostly miserable season, is that younger players are getting every chance to show what they can do and gaining valuable experience along the way. Injuries and trades of some veterans have allowed otherwise afterthoughts, to get a chance in the line-up and really show what they can do. Sometimes all you need is an opportunity.
Well that opportunity has knocked for Gilbert Brule. The former Blue Jackets first round draft pick, acquired in a 2008 trade that sent fan favorite Raffi Torres the other way, is getting serious ice time and lately is looking like the highly touted prospect that he was when drafted in 2005, sixth overall. His numbers are modest, 15 goals and 35 points in 61 games, but with each passing game, his game has grown exponentially. It is safe to say, if his game stays on the positive trend, Brule will be apart of the Oilers core for sometime. Opinion obviously, but I trust I am not alone in this thought process.
Although struggling mightily this season, with only nine goals and 23 points, Andrew Cogliano is still thought to be apart of that young core, going forward. He scored the deciding goal in their latest win, displaying the attributes that make him a vital piece, even without impressive statistics. You can't teach speed and not many players are speedier than this Toronto, ON native. A strong finish will also go a long way into improving his status on this team.
A strong finish is something the Oilers are striving for. Anything short of a miracle will affect their Taylor Hall aspirations, so why not ruin other teams playoff positioning or aspirations along the way?
Playing with nothing to lose and still a lot to gain, very few teams can lay that claim. On second thought, it isn't all that bad being an Edmonton Oiler.

Ian Eskelin's "Save the Humans" Delivers Perfect Balance
- Tuesday, November 02, 2004
Artist: Ian Eskelin
Label: Inpop Records
In the spirit of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, All Star United front man Ian Eskelin takes flight solo-style with his new release, "Save the Humans." Eskelin, who started out with Superchic[k]'s Max Hsu in the duo Zero before Eskelin's first solo stint 10 years ago, tackles his new freedom with a clear mission to rule the airwaves. The 10-song disc, which he co-produced with the Wizardz of Oz (Avril Lavigne), pops out potential radio hit after radio hit without apology; and, thanks to some well-crafted songwriting, there's never a need to change the station.
The album opener, "Shout," starts with simple vocals and acoustic guitars; but then the chorus quickly kicks in with a rocked-out praise anthem that repeats often. "Magnify" also starts out on a mellower note; and, while the guitars remain subdued, the chorus hits with a flood of background vocals.
Lyrically, this song offers a picture-perfect example of progressive praise and could be used as a staple for most any worship service. "The Solid Rock" features similarly uplifting lyrics, but this track busts loose from the starting gate with catchy guitars and energized dynamics.
While the praise-driven songs lead the disc, "Save the Humans" soon morphs into straight-forward rockers like "Throw It Away" and the title track — both high-energy standouts. Another such up-tempo song, "Taboo," offers an ironic look at faith in the public square and starts with the idea of Jerry Springer as President (The pre-TV Springer was once the mayor of Cincinnati and a gubernatorial candidate in Ohio.). Tele-politics aside, "Taboo" makes excellent use of tempo changes, slick rhythms and an over-the-top pop chorus. Though equally accessible, the album takes quieter turns with such smooth songs as "I Love to Tell the Story" and "Into Your Arms Again."
While Eskelin's new songs will, obviously, be compared to the All Star United catalog, the singer's new solo disc competes as an alt-pop rocker ready for radio. "Save the Humans" delivers a perfect balance of energy tempos, lyrical slants and emotional levels. Eskelin is clearly ready for takeoff; but, unlike Amelia Earhart, this solo flyer won't be disappearing anytime soon.

The trial of a Lowcountry man accused of killing his girlfriend and her son continued Tuesday.
Earnest Daise watched as friends of Jeanine Mullen took the stand.
Some of Mullen's family and friends testified that she wanted to end the relationship with Daise and that he threatened her and her kids.
Two witnesses testified they overheard Earnest Daise threaten to kill her over the phone.
Alleen Porter said she had met Daise prior to the double murder and was aware of the domestic violence between him and Mullen.
"Volatile relationship. Just lots of verbal, physical abuse," said Porter.
Porter worked with Mullen at Joseph Shanklin Elementary School and was one of her closest friends.
"Jeanine was the type of person that would light up a room and at some point in her life, she was ready to make things better and she was that type of person who deserved better," she said.
One of Mullen's surviving sons also testified that his mother was ready to end to relationship.
The state and defense also questioned a witness named Jay Simmons regarding his whereabouts on November 15, 2009.
Simmons gave conflicting statements to law enforcement and then on the witness stand about whether or not he got a text message from Daise asking for a ride and how the defendant was acting on the night of the murder.
If a jury finds Earnest Daise guilty, he could face either life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
WTOC did talk with some of Jeanine Mullen's family members.
They were too emotional to talk on camera with us but they say she was a strong person who loved her kids.

Sheila Bair on her book "Bull by the Horns: Fighting to Save Main Street from Wall Street and Wall Street from Itself"
Host Gene Bradley interviews Sheila Bair, former Chairperson of the FDIC and author of "Bull by the Horns: Fighting to Save Main Street from Wall Street and Wall Street from Itself."
Sheila Bair is widely acknowledged in government circles and the media as one of the first people to identify and accurately assess the subprime crisis. Appointed by George W. Bush as the chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 2006, she witnessed the origins of the financial crisis and in 2008 became—along with Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, and Timothy Geithner—one of the key players trying to repair the damage to our economy. Bull by the Horns is her honest account of that contentious time and the struggle for reform that followed and continues to this day.
Bair was often one of the few women in the room during heated discussions about the economy. Despite her years of experience and her determination to rein in the private banks and Wall Street, she frequently found herself at odds with Geithner. She is withering in her assessment of some of Wall Street's finest, and her narrative of Citibank's attempted takeover of Wachovia is a stinging indictment of how regulators and the banks worked against the public interest at times to serve their own needs.

Leo Panitch on his book ""The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire"
Leo Panitch is a Distinguished Research Professor, political economist, Marxist theorist and editor of the Socialist Register.
In this interview Leo Panitch discusses "The Making of Global Capitalism" and the intimate relationship between modern capitalism and the American state, including its role as an "informal empire" promoting free trade and capital movements. He also discusses how the US has superintended the restructuring of other states in favor of competitive markets and coordinated the management of increasingly frequent financial crises.
The Making of Global Capitalism, through its highly original analysis of the first great economic crisis of the twenty-first century, identifies the centrality of the social conflicts that occur within states rather than between them. These emerging fault lines hold out the possibility of new political movements transforming nation states and transcending global markets.

Margrit Kennedy on her book Occupy Money: Creating an Economy where Everybody Wins
Host Kathleen Stephenson speaks with Margrit Kennedy, an outspoken critic of the current global economic system and an internationally-renowned advocate of alternative regional and complementary currencies, about her new book "Occupy Money: Creating an Economy where Everybody Wins."
Compound interest and inflation have caused our monetary system to balloon to the point where bailing out banks, large corporations, and even entire countries will not prevent a complete breakdown of the global economy - unless we change the system in fundamental ways. Margrit Kennedy says it's time for a grassroots movement to knock conventional money off its pedestal and replace it with a fresh paradigm that puts people before profits.
Margrit Kennedy's most famous book, "Interest and Inflation-Free Money: Creating an Exchange Medium that works for Everybody and Protects the Earth" has been translated into 23 languages and is considered a landmark work in the field of sustainable economics. Margrit also coauthored (with Bernard Lietaer)" Regional Currencies: A New Path to Sustainable Prosperity," which is a standard of the regional money movement.

The effects of fluoridating chemicals on the environment and especially on salmon.
On September 12th Portland city council voted 5-0 to add fluoridating chemicals to our Bull Run water.
This is a highly contentious issue that Portland citizens have already rejected three times at the polls and a recent survey shows ¾ of Portlanders opposed to this council action.
KBOO's Joe Meyer speaks with scientists Howard Patterson and Jeff Fryer about the effects of fluoride in the environment after it goes down the drain.
The basic message is that the effect of fluoride in the environment is understudied and that what little research exists points to deleterious effects on salmon even at low concentrations. The bigger worry is the un-studied effects of fluoride combining with other chemicals already dumped in our ecosystem and the long-term effects through bioaccumulation on the entire food chain.
