Diabetes Health Center
Frequently Asked Questions About Diabetes
What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes? continued...
A doctor also may suspect a patient has diabetes if the person has health problems related to diabetes. For instance, heart disease, changes in vision, numbness in the feet and legs, or sores that are slow to heal, may prompt a doctor to check for diabetes. These symptoms do not mean a person has diabetes, but anyone who has these problems should see a doctor.
Points to Remember
- The symptoms of diabetes can develop gradually and may be hard to identify at first.
- Symptoms may include feeling tired or ill, excessive thirst, frequent urination, sudden weight loss, blurred vision, slow healing of infections, and genital itching.
What Causes Type 2 Diabetes?
There is no simple answer to what causes type 2 diabetes. While eating sugar, for example, doesn't cause diabetes, eating large amounts of sugar and other rich, fatty foods, can cause weight gain. Most people who develop diabetes are overweight. Scientists do not fully understand why obesity increases someone's chances of developing diabetes, but they believe obesity is a major factor leading to type 2 diabetes. Current research should help explain why the disorder occurs and why obesity is such an important risk factor.
A major cause of diabetes is insulin resistance. Scientists are still searching for the causes of insulin resistance, but they have identified two possibilities. The first could be a defect in insulin receptors on cells. Like an appliance that needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet, insulin has to bind to a receptor to function. Several things can go wrong with receptors. There may not be enough receptors for insulin to bind to, or a defect in the receptors may prevent insulin from binding.
A second possible cause involves the process that occurs after insulin plugs into the receptor. Insulin may bind to the receptor, but the cells don't read the signal to metabolize the sugar. Scientists are studying cells to see why this might happen.
Points to Remember
- In people with type 2 diabetes, insulin doesn't lower blood sugar, a condition called insulin resistance.
- Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes.
Who Develops Type 2 Diabetes?
Age, sex, weight, physical activity, diet, lifestyle, and family health history all affect someone's chances of developing type 2 diabetes. The chances that someone will develop diabetes increase if the person's parents or siblings have the disease. Experts now know that diabetes is more common in African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Native Hawaiians than whites. They believe this is the result of both heredity and environmental factors, such as diet and lifestyle. The highest rate of diabetes in the world is in an Arizona community of American Indians called the Pimas. While the chances of developing diabetes increase with age, gender isn't a risk factor, although African American women are more likely to develop diabetes than African American men.
While people can't change family history, age, or race, it is possible to control weight and physical fitness. A doctor can decide if someone is at risk for developing diabetes and offer advice on reducing that risk.
Points to Remember
- The following factors increase someone's chances of developing diabetes: obesity, family history of diabetes, and advancing age.

Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Last night at the Steppes 12th Night, Duke Inman announced that he was willing to come out of retirement and attend Gulf War to "show us how it is done". While he admitted that his rally cry was not up to the snuf of the Late Sir Ricardo, many in this Kingdom have never heard anything at that level before. I think he even inspired "King Henry" to make the attempt to join with us. Those who need additional ease of registering, I know that the web site is up and on line will happen. And if sending checks, mine was sent in November and cashed just before Christmas. I will be there working for Crown and Kingdom, and I hope to see many friends by my side. This Kingdom is known for our hard work and generosity, and we were asked to pool our resources so that th! ose who have been affected by the current rise in the cost of living seek out those who may have space in vehicles, so that those who are able to take the time to be at the war are. Plus traveling together can be fun, as was shown by the great dual mooning I received one year from the other vehicle in our little caravan. Thanks, Ladies.

Southern Gardening: Avoid the seven deadly sins of gardening
Let's face it; it doesn't take much effort for our gardening minds to wander down imaginary garden paths. Alfred Austin summed up the enjoyment we receive from gardening -- "The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul."
So while you're kicked back in the warmth of the house, I want to remind you of some gardening sins -- seven to be exact -- to avoid. But don't panic, as these aren't real sins and nothing really bad is going to happen if you slip up from time to time.

A little weeping, a little wheedling, a little self-degradation, a little careful use of our advantages, and then some man will say .Come, be my wife! With good looks and youth marriage is easy to attain. There are men enough; but a woman who has sold herself, even for a ring and a new name, need hold her skirt aside for no creature in the street. They both earn their bread in one way. Marriage for love is the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls; marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles the world.

Using rsync to sync iTunes on two computers
Thanks for the note. I tried install unison from the "stable" fink packages before, without luck because of an upgrade to the ocaml distribution which changed some of the commonly used global variables (or something to that effect). I was able (through the CVS) to get a copy of unison compiled, however, I'm going to wait till I can use the stable version from fink before I try it.

Cuban Tamales made with Fresh Corn, Tamales Cubanos de Maiz Criollo Tierno
By Juliann Esquivel Juliann
I found out today that the corn I use in this recipe is called Maiz Criollo and is only available in Florida. I was not aware of this. It is not easly found in the rest of the US. This corn is known as Field corn it is not as sweet as regular corn. You can ask your local growers if they grow field corn.You can order on website from Florida grower 305-246-1592 or www.robertishere.com You can order on web site frozen to make these tamales. Do not try to make with regular fresh corn. When I first married my husband I was introduced to Cuban Tamales, They are cooked in corn husks like the Mexican tamales but they are made from fresh corn that has been scrapped off the cob. The taste is totaly different then the Mexican tamale which is made from cooked dried hominy corn. Cuban tamales are delicious somewhat sweet but savory with pieces of cooked pork, onions, green peppers, garlic, and tomato sauce. They can be made two ways with fine dry corn meal if fresh corn is not available or the fresh corn from the cob. Both Mexican and Cuban tamales have two things in common for a most delicious tamale they have to be made with pork lard and they are cooked in corn husks. If a different shortening is used the tamales loose their incredible flavor. Here is my recipe for the fresh corn tamale. pictured are Cuban tamales with a little salsa on them. Enjoy

News Release
Texas Access to Justice Foundation
Texas Access to Justice Foundation Chair Earns Prestigious National Arthur von Briesen Award
AUSTIN, Texas – The National Legal Aid and Defender Association (NLADA) honored Richard L. Tate, chair of the board of directors for the Texas Access to Justice Foundation, with the prestigious Arthur von Briesen Award for his substantial volunteer contributions in support of civil legal aid. The award was presented during the NLADA Annual Conference on Friday, Dec. 7, in Chicago.
The Arthur von Briesen Award honors an attorney who has made substantial volunteer contributions in support of the delivery of legal services. Started in 1961, the award celebrates the achievements of the first president of NLADA.
"I'm honored to receive this award that reflects the significance of
ensuring our court system is available to all," Tate said.
"The opportunity to serve the legal aid community through the Texas Access
to Justice Foundation has been the highlight of my career.
I am blessed to work with so many true champions of justice who have
made such a difference in the lives of deserving Texans. "
The remarkable leadership and diligence of Tate have helped provide millions of dollars in funding for basic civil legal aid services to the poor. The total financial impact of grants distributed by the Texas Access to Justice Foundation has nearly tripled since Tate became chair in 1999.
"While maintaining a busy law practice, Richard Tate has been a dedicated and diplomatic leader for the Texas Access to Justice Foundation," Texas Supreme Court Nathan L. Hecht, the court's liaison for access to justice, said. " His excellent working relationships with partners in the access to justice community have been a key reason for Texas' success in preserving funding for legal aid in these difficult economic times."
Tate is a founding partner in the Richmond, Texas, law firm of Tate, Moerer & King, L.L.P. He is a former president of the Fort Bend County Bar Association and has served on the regional grievance committee of the State Bar of Texas. Tate earned his law degree from the University of Houston, his undergraduate degree from Pan American University, and a master's degree from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2008, Tate was recognized as an Access to Justice "Pro Bono Champion" by the Texas Bar Journal and in 2011 he was inducted into the American Board of Trial Advocates.

This is going to be a remarkable journey, folks! And it is our sincerest hope that you can get on the bus and come along for the ride! Transforming Ourselves As We Transform the World is our charge and "BE"ING THE CHANGE is our goal. Whether you are a person of African descent, a friend or an ally – ALL ARE WELCOME and we hope to see you there!
|Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas renowned for her work on sexuality and the Black Church, will lead the charge with a historical perspective on how far we've come as LGBTQI peoples of African descent and what's on the horizon as we fully show up as we are.
|Rev. Dr. Ronald Hopson a scholar in psychology and religion/theology, will help us reimagine what healing and transformation can look like in our lives in light of and in spite of our collective stories.
|Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson , widely known for her community-building efforts across cultures and faith traditions, will talk about Jesus and social justice, focusing us on the outward manifestation of inward spiritual health and wellness.

Querido(a) Amigo(a) de ICM:
Mientras el año comienza a moverse a su fin, nuestros pensamientos se dirigen a la gratitud y a lo que significa para la mayoría de nosotros(as) –nuestras familias y amigos(as), nuestros compromisos más profundos, el tipo de mundo que anhelamos.
Como ustedes, este es mundo momento en que estoy inundada de peticiones de donaciones navideñas e invertir en formas que puedan bendecir a otros y confirmar mis propios valores de justicia, esperanza y compasión, incluyendo mi iglesia local de ICM.
Hoy más que nunca, me enorgullece el servir cada día como la Líder Mundial de las Iglesias de la Comunidad Metropolitana, un movimiento que salva vidas, que da a luz nuevas comunidades, que abre sus puertas a los refugiados – políticos, religiosos, y espirituales. Una iglesia que apoya a activistas en lugares difíciles y peligrosos, que encarna el amor y la inclusión radical en nuestro mundo dividido. Una iglesia que recientemente fue una poderosa testigo en el Consejo Mundial de Iglesia en Corea del Sur. Un movimiento que desde hace 45 años, ha estado hablando de un Jesús que nos enseña a amar a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos.
A principios de este año, recibí un correo electrónico de Vittorio, un joven italiano. Quien estaba ansioso por tener conexiones con personas de fe LGBT, sintiéndose aislado y desconectado. El disfruta participar viendo Founders MCC en Los Ángeles, California (USA), y al Rev. Dr. Neil Thomas, virtualmente pero aun anhela tener una comunidad local en la cual participar.
Dejaré que Vittorio hable de la alegría y gratitud que siente por nuestra respuesta a su necesidad:
"Mi nombre es Vittorio Amoruso. Vivo en Italia. Después de largo período de profunda reflexión y sentirme oprimido por la Iglesia Católica por ser gay, Decidí cambiar con la ayuda de mi familia. Solamente quiero ser yo mismo en un lugar que sea llamado IGLESIA. Después de descubrir la presencia de las Iglesias de la Comunidad Metropolitana, pedí a la Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, que me diera una oportunidad de ser parte de la Iglesia ICM en los Estados Unidos. Ella re-envío mi correo electrónico al Rev. Dr. Jim Merritt quien me ofreció la posibilidad de pasar dos meses como invitado Trinity MCC en Gainesville, Florida, descubrí que Dios tiene un amor incondicional y eterno para cada ser humano, incluyendo a las personas LGBT. ICM me salvó y ayudó a comprender el plan que Dios tiene establecido para mí. He sido llamado a ser un Pastor/Ministro de ICM y servir a la comunidad LGBT en Italia, donde ICM no tiene presencia."
Rev. Jim Mulcahy, pastor de ICM que trabaja en Europa del Este y en Rusia me envió esta nota recientemente:
"Recibí esta nota de una joven mujer rusa que es parte de una familia muy tradicional quienes literalmente la matarían si se enteran que ella es lesbiana. 'Hi Jim! Permíteme agradecerte nuevamente por tu visita a Moscú. El servicio del domingo pasado me dio la fortaleza de vivir. Es la primera vez que recibo la comunidad en una Iglesia no Ortodoxa. En tus acciones reconozco que Cristo partía el pan. Muchas gracias por tu sermón tan inspirador y lleno de amor, esperanza y sinceridad. Tus palabras me enseñaron a aceptarme y amarme.' "
Jóvenes como Vittorio y esta mujer de Rusia nos necesitan, en cada país, incluyendo Estados Unidos. Ellos necesitan que seamos ICM, con un mensaje fuerte e inequívoco, con nuestra celebración inspiradora, nuestras comunidades locales vibrantes y comprometidas con la justicia y la inclusión radical.
Así que, para todos los Vittorios y todos los que conocemos debemos ser familia y comunidad para muchos como él, les invito a unirse en el recuerdo de ICM en esta temporada navideña con su generosidad. Cada donativo hará posible el salvar vidas y sanar corazones.
Gracia y paz,
Rev. Obispa Nancy Wilson

Dear MCC Friend:
As the year begins to move to its end, our thoughts turn to gratitude and to that which means the most to us–our friends and family, our deepest connections and commitments, the kind of world for which we yearn.
Like you, this is a time when I am inundated with requests for holiday giving, and invest in ways that will bless others and confirm my own values about justice, hope, and compassion, including my local MCC church.
More than ever, I am proud every day to serve as the global leader of Metropolitan Community Churches, a movement that saves lives, that gives birth to new communities, that opens its doors to refugees – political, religious, and spiritual. A church that supports activists in difficult and dangerous places that embodies love and radical inclusion in our divided world. A church that recently made a powerful witness at the World Council of Churches in South Korea. A movement which for 45 years, has been speaking up for a Jesus who tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Earlier this year, I got an email from Vittorio, a young man from Italy. He was starving for connections with LGBT people of faith, feeling so isolated and disconnected. He loved watching Founders MCC in Los Angeles, California (USA), and Rev. Dr. Neil Thomas, virtually but still longed for face-to-face community.
I will let Vittorio speak for the joy and gratitude he feels for our response to his need:
"My name is Vittorio Amoruso. I live in Italy. After a long period of deep thinking and feeling oppressed by the Italian Catholic Church because of my being gay, I decided to make a change, with the support of my family. I just wanted to be myself in a place where it is called CHURCH. After discovering the presence of Metropolitan Community Churches, I asked Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, to give me an opportunity to be part of an MCC church in the United States. She forwarded my email to Rev. Dr. Jim Merritt who gave me the possibility to spend two months as a guest of Trinity MCC in Gainesville, Florida, and discover how God has an unconditional and everlasting love for each human being, including LGBT people. MCC saved my life and helped me understand the plan that God has in store for me. I've been called to be an MCC Pastor/Minister and serve the LGBT community in Italy, where there is no MCC at present."
Rev. Jim Mulcahy, an MCC pastor who works in Eastern Europe and Russia, sent me this note recently:
"I received this note from a young Russian woman from a very traditional family who literally would kill her if they knew she was a lesbian. 'Hi Jim! Let me again thank you for your visit to Moscow. Last Sunday's service gave me the strength to live. It was the first time I took communion not in an Orthodox Church. It your actions I recognized Christ breaking the bread. Thank you very much for your inspiring sermon full of love, hope, and sincerity. Your words taught me to accept and love myself.' "
Young people like Vittorio and this young woman from Russia need us, in every country, including in the United States. They need us to be MCC, with our strong, unequivocal message, our inspiring worship, our vibrant, local communities committed to justice and radical inclusion.
So, for all the Vittorios and all of us who know we must be family and community for so many like him, join me in remembering MCC this holiday season in your generous giving! Every gift makes it possible for us to save lives and heal hearts.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Elder Dr. Nancy Wilson

Have you ever started a new program or ministry, knowing it would require a season of extra attention, nurture and investment if it were to succeed for the long-term? According to Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, that's exactly where we are today with MCC's Networks!
That's why October's Fellowship Sunday Offering is dedicated to resourcing MCC's Networks by providing training opportunities for Network leaders and teams, enhancing communications between Networks and local congregations, and increasing the support and resourcing of local churches.
"The focus of this year's Fellowship Sunday Offering Campaign is on MCC's Networks," said Rev. Dr. Wilson, "but the long-term beneficiaries are the health and growth of our local congregations."
Has your church signed up to participate in MCC's 45th anniversary observance by receiving a special, designated Fellowship Sunday Offering on 6 October 2013, or on another Sunday in October?
Signing up literally takes less than 60 seconds! Simply write to Rev. Dr. Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.com and let her know your church will participate. "I would be thrilled if your church would sign up this week to become a 2013 MCC Pacesetter Church by committing to receive a second offering in support of MCC's Networks on Fellowship Sunday, 6 October 2013, or on another Sunday in October. I hope to hear from your church this week!"

Today we join our voices with many others calling for an end to the rampant violence against LGBT people in Russia. Reports of anti-LGBT violence continue to be received, including harassment, physical brutality and government condoned murder of LGBT people since Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law a bill banning the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations to minors."
Prominent British broadcaster Stephen Fry likened the new laws to the Nazis' persecution of the Jews earlier this week, and on Thursday, Russia's envoy to the United Nations was personally confronted on his New York doorstep by activists wielding a petition signed by more than 300,000 people.
"The events unfolding in Russia should rightly cause concern for all fair-minded citizens of the world. They're a complete travesty meant to divert the attention of the Russian people from President Putin's failure as their leader," said Human Rights Campaign Vice President for Communications Fred Sainz.
Rev. Pat Bumgardner, Executive Director of the Global Justice Institute (GJI), said, "We, as human beings, must not remain silent while any of our lives are criminalized. It's not simply the right to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly that are at stake here, but our very lives when you consider the rise in violence and increased rates of HIV in areas where LGBTI life is deemed illicit." She added, "Russia, and indeed the world must be put on notice: Attempt to silence any of us and you will hear from all of us."
The GJI calls for an end to violence against LGBTQ people in Russia around the world. We call on fair minded people of faith to join efforts to speak against these acts of violence and murder and to stand in solidarity with those who are victimized. We call on members of the clergy to speak boldly for the divine value of every person. Finally, we join our prayers with those of people of faith for an end to the victimization of LGBTQ people in Russia and around the world.

Pope Francis asked a stunning question: "Who am I to judge?" This was in response to inquiries about whether or not there are gay priests in the Vatican — the now-renowned "gay lobby."
In a 90-minute interview returning from his travels in Brazil, an affable, relaxed Pope Francis covered a range of topics, but the "who am I to judge?" response made the world do a double take.
"Who am I to judge?"
Well, the pope! You are the pope who inherited two millennia of, well, pontificating about what's right and what's wrong, what's moral and what's immoral.
I am sure the Vatican leaders are wringing their collective hands over a pope who may be viewed as a security and PR nightmare. He may seem out of their control, dispensing mercy and off-the-cuff pastoral kindness that blurs the lines of official church policy and pronouncements. We could almost feel the winds of Vatican II blowing.
My hope is that this is not just the kind of rock-star popularity that masked the sometimes-kind conservatism of John Paul II. He gave "warm fuzzies" to big crowds but became increasingly dogmatic as a corrupt system of financial and sexual exploitation lurked beneath the surface.
Pope Francis' step toward humility was stunning, but few are naïve enough to think that everything has changed. Gay priests must still be celibate, and Pope Francis declared that "the door is closed" on the ordination of women. But what the pope did in that interview was to begin to live up to the Catholic Church's own teachings about humankind.
Honestly, if all Christian denominations and traditions lived up to their own teachings about humanity, there would be a great revolution of respect. But that respect must include women as full human beings, worthy of greatness — worthy of ordination — and it must include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people.
I sincerely hope this pope really does want to shake up things. Celibacy should be optional. Catholic women need the church to move into the 20th, not to mention the 21st, century and recognize their full eligibility for the priesthood. Sexual assaults on children must be eliminated. Decisions about contraception, reproductive health and choice should be in the hands of women, not by unaffected men who like to dictate policy. The use of condoms to save lives through prevention of HIV/AIDS must be commonplace. A revolution of respect can happen!
Virtually every faith tradition has a core belief that human beings have inherent worth as creations of God. The inherent worth of each human being means that Christians should be aghast at the brutal murders of gay men in Russia, Cameroon, Yemen and even in theUnited States.
In South Africa, where so-called "corrective rape" is used mostly against lesbians but also against transgender people and gay men, the brutality is shocking and too often endorsed by family members. Duduzile Zozo was raped with a toilette brush and left to die in early July. Bishop Tutu presided at her memorial service and famously said that he "would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven."
Most anti-LGBTQ rapes, beatings, tortures and murders happen with little comment because it is too dangerous to report the assault or murder of a gay friend or family member for fear of police reprisal. Even with high publicity, the Cameroon police do not seem to be pursuing the person(s) who murdered gay rights advocate Eric Lembembe. Instead, Cameroon police arrested three organizers who have been critiquing the lack of action by Cameroon officials!
Where are the faith voices? Pope Francis, we urge you not to be silent! Use your moral weight to stop vicious attacks and cruel persecution. Promote a campaign for tolerance. We do not have to punish people for being different!
Why are Christians silent when Eric Lemembe is tortured with a hot iron in his own home? Why are Christians silent when lesbians are raped — even raped to death? Why are Christians silent as Russia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and so many other countries pass laws that make talking about the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people punishable by prison or fine?
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe recently condemned LGBTQ people and promised to cut off our heads. Pronouncements like these are de facto endorsements of street violence, mob attacks, family rejection and official persecution against anyone who is perceived to be LGBTQ — as well as against their families. Mugabe is a Catholic who should hear from his new pope that violent homophobia is unacceptable for Catholic leaders.
Although the pope did not suddenly change the church's view that LGBTQ people should remain celibate, whether as priests or as lay people, he did tell Christians around the world that it's time to live up to the highest values of the faith rather than descend to base disrespect for human beings.
Pope Francis modeled a more tolerant approach to LGBTQ people. He is the first pope to use the word "gay." Tolerance is a humble platform from which people across the world can be speaking out for mutual respect. It is not a perfect platform, but it appears that it might suit a pope who doesn't think of himself as infallible but as a human being who respects God's good diversity. How refreshing!
As the head of Metropolitan Community Churches, which has ministries in 40 countries, I know that it is time that Christians step up and strive to fulfill the basic teachings of Jesus: Feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit prisoners — and, like the pope, judge not.

Calls for Prayer and Personal Discernment
as Zimmerman Trial Verdict is Released
Earlier this evening, a jury of six women found George Zimmerman, a now 26-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer, not guilty in the February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Trayvon Martin was 17 years old when, walking to his father's home through a residential area in Sanford, Florida on a rainy evening , he was shot in the heart after an altercation with Zimmerman. Wearing a hoodie and talking on his cell phone, having just purchased a package of Skittles and a can of iced tea, Martin became a symbol of young people of color across the United States who are often targeted by law enforcement, shop owners and other citizens as "suspicious."
Approached and followed by Mr. Zimmerman for this reason, a physical fight ensued that would end in the death of a child, and come to symbolize our nation's on-again/off-again struggle to accept and value its diverse citizenry.
As a community of largely LGBTI people of many religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, many of us know what it is like to be viewed with suspicion simply because of who we are. Many of us still live in parts of the world where our sexual orientations or gender identities are sufficient to endanger our lives.
Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Trayvon's parents, appealed for peace in the wake of a verdict and said that they could finally see "the end of the tunnel."
The real end of the tunnel for all of us will be on that day when we stand face to face with the Creator God who made us all and pronounced all life good. In the end, we will be invited to share one table together. The Gospel of Matthew says people will come to that table from East and West, North and South, meaning from many directions.
I know the members and friends of Metropolitan Community Churches may be coming from many directions with regard to this case and all the issues it has raised, from racially motivated animosity to the use of firearms. People around the globe suffer and struggle daily with the loss of children's lives to violence — violence that is often times fueled by the failure to value the diversity of God's creation.
Yesterday at the United Nations, another child targeted by violence, a 16 year old girl from Pakistan named Malala, spoke to the world saying that education is the key to a future of peace and good will for all of us. Shot because she was a girl wanting to go to school in a culture devaluing its female children, she said, "They thought that the bullet would silence us," but what really happened was that "weakness and fear died…and courage was born.'
I urge all of us on this night when many of us may be reacting with shock, disbelief and anger and others with support for a legally rendered verdict, to really search our hearts and minds and spirits for the ways prejudice and fear have weakened our commitment to the prophetic vision of a world where lions lay down with lambs, and little children play safely over adder's dens. I urge all of us as people of faith to recommit to the Biblical injunction against taking a life for any reason. The legal standard for "self defense" can never replace Scripture's call to love others as God loves all of us.
Pray with me this night for the family of Trayvon Martin who, regardless of a verdict, lost a child to fear and violence. Pray for the day when all of us are at ease in the presence of difference and see only in each other's faces a brother or sister in Christ.

Global leaders of the historic Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) praised the decisions of the Supreme Court today as it ruled on California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
"Freedom and equality won today as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the US Constitution and every family," said the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson. "Children in California now know their families will be treated equally. Today, every American is free to live in the assurance that their loved ones will receive all benefits the US gives to any other family. As the head of MCC, a global church founded on the belief that all people are created equal before God and the law, I am thrilled that the Supreme Court decided that the US Constitution applies to all of us, regardless of our sexual orientation or gender identity."
"We are committed to full equality for all people, and we will work for the full implementation of today's Supreme Court rulings and for marriage equality around the world," said Rev. Dr. Jim Merritt, Marriage Equality Director for MCC's Public Policy Team.
Metropolitan Community Church's history of marriage equality began in 1968 when the Rev. Troy Perry, founder of MCC, conducted the first, public same-gender wedding ceremony in the US. In 1970, Rev. Perry brought a lawsuit for marriage equality in California. MCC worked for decades, sponsoring weddings at Pride marches, protesting on Valentine's Day in Justices of the Peace offices, and performing thousands of Holy Unions in their churches.
MCC will celebrate these decisions and move forward at its 25th General Conference in Chicago, Illinois, July 1-5, 2013. After 45 years of ministry and advocacy, the church continues to be on the cutting edge of ministry around the world. Known as "The Human Rights Church" in many countries, MCC will host U.S. Ambassador Daniel Baer and present the MCC human rights award to Bishop Christopher Senyonjo of Uganda, where he has fought the infamous "kill the gays" bill. MCC leaders will also celebrate the founding of their "Global Justice Institute," in partnership with The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries. The Global Justice Institute is working with leaders in Asia, Africa and Latin America for equality for sexual minorities and all people who deserve justice.

Dear Congressman/Senator:
We are writing to express our strong support for legislation that would enhance the United States anti-trafficking policy by upgrading the State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons to a State Department Bureau. We represent members of both the current and previous President Advisory Council on Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. As members of the current President's Advisory Council, we studied the issue of domestic and international trafficking for most of the past year and issued a report with recommendations to President Obama. One of the recommendations was to upgrade the Office to a Bureau.
Our April 2013 Report states: "The Council appreciates and acknowledges not only the diplomacy and monitoring carried out by J/TIP, but the level of expertise and innovation the Office brings to the anti-trafficking movement. This Council believes that it is vitally important that the State Department's J/TIP be elevated to a State Department Bureau, on equal footing with the Regional Bureaus and other priority issues for this Administration. Making J/TIP a Bureau would improve collaboration with the Regional Bureaus, Embassies, and international interlocutors."
We are grateful that legislation has been introduced in the House and Senate to upgrade the Office to a State Department Bureau headed by an Assistant Secretary of State. This simple redesignation, which does not involve additional bureaucracy or expense, will give J/TIP and its leadership access to the Secretary of State and parity with regional Assistant Secretaries. This upgrade is required for the issue of slavery eradication to receive the attention it requires.
As leaders of faith based and community organizations, we respectfully urge you to support this legislation, which sharpens the United States' most precious diplomatic tool. The men and women who staff and lead the J/TIP Office are the nation's leading experts on modern day slavery. While we understand that anti-trafficking concerns will sometimes be preempted by other U.S. interests, we believe that it is essential that J/TIP's leadership have a seat at the table where key decisions on diplomacy and strategy are being developed and implemented.
We respectfully urge you to support H.R. 2283, "The Human Trafficking Prioritization Act," sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith in the House and S._____, companion legislation in the Senate that is sponsored by Senator Richard Blumenthal.

Mother and son to run Bristol 10K for cancer charity
By Prue_Reid | Tuesday, April 02, 2013, 18:33
A MOTHER and son from Portishead are to run the Bristol 10K to raise money for a Pill based cancer charity.
Debbie and Zack are gearing up to run the Bristol 10k.
Debbie Taylor, 42 and 15-year-old son Zack will be taking part in the event on May 5 to raise money for Penny Brohn Cancer Care.
The pair wanted to raise money for the charity after it stepped in to help Debbie after she was diagnosed with breast cancer just before Christmas in 2010.
Shortly after her diagnosis, over the course of seven months, Debbie had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery as well as chemotherapy.
It was following her treatment that Debbie felt she needed more support and she started to use the services of Penny Brohn Cancer Care.
The charity helps people to live well with the impact of cancer at any stage of their journey.
It's unique combination of physical, emotional and spiritual support is designed to work alongside medical treatment.
The charity delivers a range of residential and non-residential services including courses, one to one appointments, nutritional advice, support groups and a helpline.
Debbie said: "The first time I went to Penny Brohn Cancer Care, I remember it so well.
"I came in desperation and just cried.
"The support I received from everyone at the charity was fantastic.
"I attended lots of different courses and it helped me deal with everything that had happened.
"They were an unbelievable support and I am so grateful and lucky to have them on my doorstep.
"I decided I wanted to do something to help the charity and thought the 10K was a great way to do this.
"Before my cancer diagnosis I had run the Bristol Half Marathon, and I thought this was a good challenge to focus on as well as knowing I would be helping something that has helped me so much.
"When I said I was going to do it, Zack said he would like to join me and I'm really looking forward to running with him by my side."
Zack added: "I haven't done anything like this before but I wanted to do something to help Penny Brohn Cancer Care because of all the support they gave mum after her treatment.
They made her normal again and I am really thankful."
The Bristol 10K, which starts and finishes on Bristol's historic Harbourside, takes participants around the city centre, and is a great event for runners of all levels.
Penny Brohn Cancer Care still has places in the Bristol 10K and are urging people to take up the challenge to help more people live well with cancer..

A Burlington County man has filed a lawsuit against a former employer he claims fired him after learning of his political views and religious beliefs.
Ed Forchion, of the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township, who professes Rastafarianism, claims CD & L shipping of Hackensack fired him Sept. 7 after a supervisor saw him on television at a demonstration against Gov. James E. McGreevey on Aug. 26.
Forchion, who is running for Burlington County freeholder and seeks a U.S congressional seat as a member of the U.S. Marijuana Party, filed the suit in federal court Monday. Claiming his First Amendment rights were violated, he is asking for immediate reinstatement with back pay, a jury trial, punitive damages and a written apology from his supervisor.
Officials from CD & L did not return several phone calls for comment Tuesday.
Forchion, who unsuccessfully tried to change his name to NJWeedman.com, claims his religious freedoms are protected under the First Amendment because Rastafarians consider marijuana a sacrament.
Rastafarianism began as a spiritual movement in Jamaica in the 1930s. Practitioners often grow their hair into locks and use marijuana.
Forchion said he was not asked to submit a urine sample or renounce his religion before taking the job.
In his suit, Forchion claims company officials mistook his presence at the rally as being anti-homosexual.
"I am in the marijuana reform movement and there are a lot of gays in the the movement with me. I would be stepping on my own foot if I spoke out against them," said Forchion.
In 1997, he was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute more than 40 pounds of marijuana. Forchion served 17 months of a 10-year prison sentence.
After he was released on parole, Forchion filmed a pro-marijuana commercial and was sent back to prison for violating terms of his parole. A federal judge ordered him released after five months, saying the arrest was an infringement of free speech.
"Its hard enough to get a job as a felon," said Forchion.
In his two months as a courier for CD & L, Forchion said he made regular deliveries to Fleet Bank branches. Fleet is also named as a plaintiff in the suit.

Output characteristics of a thin-film piezoelectric AE sensor for magnetic head-disk interaction
Imai, S. and Burger, G.J. and Lammerink, T.S.J. and Fluitman, J.H.J. (1997) Output characteristics of a thin-film piezoelectric AE sensor for magnetic head-disk interaction. JSME International Journal, Series C, 40 (1). pp. 33-41. ISSN 0914-8825
|A new type of acoustic emission (AE) sensor was developed for detecting head disk interaction in magnetic disk devices. In order to develop a small sensor, we used a thin-film piezoelectric material and mounted it on the Si slider using micromachining techniques. We conducted a basic experiment and a simulation of sensor output, and confirmed that the simulation used here can predict sensor output characteristics. This paper describes the structure of the sensor and the method of simulation. We also performed several other simulations of sensor output characteristics using this method, and confirmed that the new sensor is applicable to tribological research on head-disk interaction.

Emmanuel Sanders may have violated some unwritten rules when he signed with the Broncos this weekend, but the fact remains that his expected departure leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers quite thin at wide receiver.
CBS Sports NFL reporter Jason La Canfora reports that free-agent wideout Lance Moore, recently released by the Saints, will visit the Steelers' facility Tuesday along with running back James Starks.
Moore, who will be 31 when the season starts, saw his production dip from 65 catches for 1,041 yards in 2012 to 37 for 457 last year. He could probably be a capable third option for Ben Roethlisberger, which is especially relevant now that free agent Jerricho Cotchery is being courted by the Panthers.
Related: Does the signing of Cam Thomas solve the Steelers' nose tackle problem?
Cotchery, 31, is looking to parlay his most effective season since 2009 into a bigger paycheck. The former Jet snagged a team-best 10 receiving touchdowns in 2013 as part of his 46-catch, 602-yard output. In his third year with the Steelers, Cotchery appeared to develop a good on-field rapport with Roethlisberger.
If Cotchery signs elsewhere, that leaves two-time Pro Bowler Antonio Brown and little-used sophomore Markus Wheaton as the Steelers' top two receivers on the depth chart.
Because of that, even if Moore or someone else comes aboard via free agency, it appears the Steelers will be hunting at least one pass-catcher in the draft.

Never mind that the news of Andray Blatche being out for about a month brought me more joy than sadness (schadenfreude, snitches!). Also, forget that never has a surname expressed so completely my negative feelings toward a person. Skip all that noise, jack.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Gary Neal
Dirk Nowitzki earned his second double-double of the season. So that's nice. It was his first game back in more than a week. So that's nice, too. What's a little less nice is was how belabored the victory was in just about every way for both Dallas and Dirk.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Mike Miller is set to to make his season debut with the Heat today, which is particularly fortuitous (if I may use that term on a family blog) as the news makes the rounds of Dwyane Wade likely missing more games has resulted in thousands of monkey-punches to the groins of thousands of fantasy basketball teams.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Upon occasion – especially while watching the Wizards – I think to myself, "Self? You could do better than these guys, right? Sure, you're not as tall as most of these guys and you have trouble going to your left, you tend to get wheezy after just a couple laps up the court, your sweat makes people not want to talk to you, you choke on the gum you're chewing 3/4 of the possessions, and your on-court communication consists mostly of reciting lines from 'White Men Can't Jump,' but still, the Wizards are awful." Now I know you think it's weird that I address myself as Self, but if I didn't do that how would I know who I'm talking to?Please, blog, may I have some more?
The fact that Ricky Rubio still isn't the starting point guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves is only batshizz crazy until you dump water over your head and remind yourself that this is the Minnesota squadron that couldn't find a regular spot in the starting rotation for Kevin Love in his first two seasons, despite him never having a PER under 18 at any point during that time.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm going to have to be careful here, so as not to convince you Gary Neal is a cherry, when, in fact, he's closer to a lemon. Do people even call good things "cherries" or did I just make that up?Please, blog, may I have some more?
We've looked back on the best players at each position from the 2010 fantasy basketball season. Now we're preparing to steal a few glimpses at the 15 best rookies of 2010. Everyone has their preferred way to steal glimpses. Some put on dark sunglasses, others find reflective surfaces like storefront windows or iPad screens so as not to look directly at the subject you want to see, and yet others preemptively stare at the empty space their glimpse-able object will inhabit until they walk right into it and, whoops, it was just an accident that you were glimpsing!Please, blog, may I have some more?
With no (pro) games last night, a true fantasy killer* likely spent the entire evening alone in a dark room, with a mason jar used primarily for urine (primarily) plotting nothing else but how his final nine fantasy days are going to go.Please, blog, may I have some more?
We're down to the wire now. Toss your burners, Marlowe. With just 10 days left, it's time to erase the history of what got you here and look only in your immediate future. Unless you're planning to keep Rudy Gay for next year, dump him.Please, blog, may I have some more?
(Today's post title is for all you connoisseurs of niche comedians from the '80s.) Stephen Jackson is hobbled, but played anyway. If you have another option, go with it, because Jackson ran up and down the court last night like Pacino at the end of 'Dick Tracy.' (Deep cut!) The word out of Northc'alina is that if the Bobcats lost to the Pacers (effectively wiping away their playoff hopes), Stack Jacks would be shut down for the season.Please, blog, may I have some more?
