MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said Friday's game was the best his team has looked yet this year.
And it was easy to see why, as the Raiders rolled to a 61-13 win in the district opener against Colfax-Mingo here on "Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Night."
"I thought in all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — it was our most complete effort of the year so far," Showalter said. "We hope there's even better ones to come. We were clicking in all parts of the game."
The Raider rushing attack ran on all cylinders Friday night, picking up 322 yards on 40 carries, averaging 8 yards per carry as a team.
Mount Ayr, ranked second in Class 1A by the Des Moines Register, powered its way to a touchdown quickly in the first quarter, marching 69 yards down the field on eight plays — seven of which were runs. Senior quarterback Jacob Sobotka capped the drive with a 3-yard dive up the middle for a score.
The Raider defense was tasked with trying to stop Colfax-Mingo's high-powered spread passing attack. The Tigerhawks converted on a third-and-6 on their opening drive, but the Raiders stuffed them after that.
Less than five minutes after the first score, Mount Ayr had already found its way back into the end zone, as Caleb Schnoor scored on a 5-yard run to the right side.
Schnoor's touchdown run was set up by a Sobotka completion to Kyle Dolecheck on a fade route down the sideline. Dolecheck went up over two defenders to make the catch, took a hard hit and got a foot down inbounds, while hanging onto the ball for the catch.
"We threw the ball really well," Showalter said. "I thought that was as good a night as Jake has had throwing the ball. He had a lot of touch on the ball and hit our receivers extremely well."
Sobotka completed 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards. He also picked up 108 yards on the ground.
One receiver who benefitted from Sobotka being on his game in the passing game was junior Lincoln Martin.
Martin caught three passes for 62 yards — all of them resulting in touchdowns. Martin scored from 20 yards, 10 yards and 32 yards.
"He ran some really crisp routes and once he caught the ball, he got upfield with it," Showalter said about Martin. "I thought it was probably his best ballgame, at least on the offensive side, but he also had to work his tail off defensively, as well."
Showalter praised Martin, Dolecheck, Erik Freed and Jacob Taylor for their effort defensively defending the Tigerhawks' receivers, and for coming back to play offense, as well.
Dolecheck intercepted two passes on the defensive side of the ball, while Freed picked off one. Dolecheck finished with four catches for 73 yards on offense, while Freed caught two balls for 33 yards. They both ran the ball well, too, as Dolecheck finished with 34 rushing yards on two carries and Freed carried five times for 44 yards and a score.
Mount Ayr held Colfax-Mingo's passing attack in check, giving up 188 yards through the air — much of which came against the Raider reserves. The Tigerhawks managed just 3 rushing yards in the contest.
"I felt really good about the way we defended them," Showalter said. "I thought we took away the things they wanted to do. Their quarterback had been picking up a few yards on the ground. I think he was averaging about 70 yards a game, and we held them to 3 yards rushing."
Mason Mercer blocked a punt in the end zone and fell on the ball for a touchdown during the third quarter. Cody Stackhouse blocked a kick in the game for the Raiders.
The Raiders, now 4-0 for the season and 1-0 in Class 1A District 7, move on to take on Des Moines Christian on Friday in the Raiders' homecoming game.
Special ceremony
Prior to the game, a special ceremony was held in conjunction with "Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Night."
After the Raider players made their entrance in "the swarm," senior Cody Stackhouse presented a football signed by all the Raider players to D.J. Turpen, of Afton, and his family.
Turpen, 5, suffers from the effects of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Turpen, who was shaken as an infant still cannot walk and has a very limited vocabulary.
The Connor Cares Foundation raised funds through the sale of calendars, posters and shirts.
"There were two babies injured in Iowa in July after being shaken by an adult," said Patty Eaton of the Connor Cares Foundation. "One is suffering daily seizures and is now blind and the second child was taken off of life support by her parents."
Showalter said the ceremony was a reminder for his players to keep everything in perspective.
"It really was an emotional deal for our guys," Showalter said. "Patty with the Connor Cares Foundation has visited with our kids several times, and I think it really hit home for us Friday night when D.J. Turpen and his family was there.
"Just to see that little guy's eyes light up when we handed him the football, that was something," Showalter continued. "I think our guys understood the enormity of that situation. Here's a kid who is never going to get the opportunity to play football. We were glad to be a part of that (ceremony) and hopefully raise awareness for Shaken Baby Syndrome, and hopefully we gave DJ and his family a little lift on Friday night."

Interpretive Handbook
8122 :
Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires Disease), Antibody, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Legionella pneumophila may cause pulmonary disease in both normal and immunocompetent hosts. The disease may occur sporadically in the form of community acquired pneumonia and in epidemics. Pneumonia (often referred to as Legionnaires disease) occurs more frequently in severely immunosuppressed individuals; a milder form of the illness, referred to as Pontiac fever, is more prevalent in normal hosts. Extrapulmonary infection with Legionella pneumophila is rare. Legionnaire's disease, Pontiac fever, and extrapulmonary infection have been collectively referred to as legionellosis.
Approximately 85% of the documented cases of legionellosis have been caused by Legionella pneumophila. Serogroups 1 and 6 of Legionella pneumophila, by themselves, account for up to 75% of cases of legionellosis.
The definitive diagnosis of Legionella pneumophila is made by isolation of the organism on specialized culture medium (buffered charcoal yeast extract agar). Pulmonary secretions can be directly examined using a direct fluorescent antibody procedure, but the sensitivity of this method is low (25%-70%). Often it is difficult for the patient to produce pulmonary secretion (sputum) for examination, the pneumonia is frequently interstitial and sputum is scant. In the absence of invasive procedures (eg, bronchial alveolar lavage), urine evaluation for Legionella pneumophila antigen or indirect serological (antibody) methods may be useful.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of possible legionellosis (Legionnaires disease, Pontiac fever, extrapulmonary legionella infection caused by Legionella pneumophila)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A negative result indicates that IgG/A/M antibody to Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-6 is not detected. Negative results do not exclude Legionella infection. It may require 4 to 8 weeks to develop a detectable antibody response; serum specimens taken early in the course of infection may not yet have significant antibody titers. Furthermore, antibody levels can fall to undetectable levels within a month of infection, early antibiotic therapy may suppress antibody response, and some individuals may not develop antibodies above detectable limits.
Some culture-positive cases of Legionella do not develop Legionella antibody.
Positive results are suggestive of Legionella infection; however, a single positive result only indicates immunologic exposure at some time. It does not distinguish between previous or current infection. The level of antibody response may not be used to determine active infection. Other laboratory procedures or additional clinical information are necessary to establish a diagnosis.
Specimens with equivocal results are retested prior to reporting. Repeat testing on a second specimen should be considered in patients with equivocal results, if clinically indicated.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A diagnosis should not be made on the basis of positive Legionella antibody results alone. Test results for Legionella antibodies should be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical evaluation and the results of other diagnostic procedures.
A positive result suggests infection with 1 or more of the groups 1-6 species; however, one will not be able to distinguish between species with the results of this enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test alone.
Use of serogroups 1-6 for assessing antibody responses to different Legionella species and serogroups has not been established.
Cross-reactivity may occur in sera with infections due to other Legionella species.
Positive results may be due to cross-reactivity with antibody generated as a result of non-Legionella infection. Serologic cross-reactions have been reported with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, several Rickettsia species, Coxiella burnetii, enteric gram-negative rods, Bacteroides species, Haemophilus species, Citrobacter freundii, and Campylobacter jejuni. Additionally, some reports indicate that a number of apparently healthy individuals may carry antibodies to legionellae; however, a positive result, along with clinical signs and symptoms may indicate possible Legionella infection. Additional serologic testing, such as paired sera analysis by immunofluorescence assay (IFA), or other clinical testing such as direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) and culturing, may be necessary to establish diagnosis.
The assay performance characteristics have not been established for matrices other than sera.
Although the conjugate is designed to detect human IgG, IgM, and/or IgA, one will not be able to determine which antibody is present with this assay.
The affinity and/or avidity of the anti-IgG/IgM/IgA conjugate has not been determined.
The use of hemolytic, lipemic, bacterially contaminated, or heat-inactivated specimens should be avoided. Erroneous results may occur.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

It's one of the most inspiring images in America - the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, featuring the legendary scene from Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima. Dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in defense of the United States, the memorial statue recreates the dramatic moment captured by the Pulitzer Prize-winning lens of photographer Joe Rosenthal - February 23, 1945, when the mountain was finally captured, and the Marines joyously struggled to raise the American flag over the wind-swept island.
This poster features a breathtaking view of the monument at sunset, with a spectacular backdrop that includes the Capital building and the Washington Monument. It also includes the inspirational title "Fortitude", and the quote, "The strength to persist, the courage to endure." For any proud American, this beautiful print belongs in a nice frame on a prominent wall in your home or office. Perfect!

Air Liquide builds CO2 plant, expands CA production
10:51 AM MDT | March 19, 2013
Air Liquide says it is building a new carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction plant in Tulare County, CA. The 450-m.t./day facility will capture CO2 gases from Calgren Renewable Fuel's (Pixley, CA) ethanol plant, which will then be purified and liquefied by Air Liquide for use by customers in the food, beverage, and manufacturing industries in the Central Valley and Los Angeles region. The plant is expected to be operational by the end of this year. The company is also expanding its Wilmington, CA, CO2 plant to improve service to the southern California food and...

Sir Jackie Stewart has tipped Lewis Hamilton to challenge for this year's title - but only if Mercedes keep up in the development race...
Sir Jackie Stewart has tipped Lewis Hamilton to challenge for this year's title - but only if Mercedes keep up in the development race.
After last year's slump, Mercedes's campaign is off to a flying start this season with points in both grands prix including a podium finish.
Hamilton has proven to be Mercedes leading driver with the Brit putting his car on the second row of the grid in both Australia and Malaysia.
He also began his campaign with a fifth-place finish before following that up with a podium result a week later at the Sepang circuit.
Mercedes' start has given Stewart reasons to be positive, however, he concedes that a bid for the World title will depend on how well the team keeps up in the development race.
"Yes, they can win races," the triple World Champ told BBC Sport. "Lewis will drive the living daylights out of whatever car he's got.
"They can challenge for the title but they will need to keep up with Red Bull and Ferrari in terms of development.
"If the Red Bull is as good as it can be, that's your main opposition while Ferrari are already more competitive at the start of the season than they were last year.
"The Lotus is very competitive, too, and McLaren will fight back, but Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn is an extraordinarily talented man. Mercedes exist to win and they have the resources to do so."
The 73-year-old also weighed in on the team order debate after both Red Bull and Mercedes used them in Malaysia.
But while Sebastian Vettel did not adhere to his team's orders, Nico Rosberg did, holding station behind Hamilton despite clearly being the quicker of the two in the final stint.
"If Mercedes had let Rosberg pass Hamilton in Malaysia, could he have caught the Red Bulls? It's not impossible," Stewart said.
However, he added, "there's no question that Lewis holds the upper hand because he's had more success - he's had more race wins and a Championship. He's also started the season well. Nico has won a race but he has yet to follow that up.
"Mercedes have got themselves a very expensive driver and they'll want him to do well.
"They've got the people who Lewis feels will be good for the team. Technical director Paddy Lowe is coming from McLaren and I'm sure part of the reason is because Lewis is there.
"Nico is a skilled and talented driver and he may well be better on his tyres but he would have learned his lesson in Malaysia that you can't leave it until the last minute to try and take the initiative. It'll be interesting to see how he responds."

Men's Basketball Signs Shannon Huffstetler to National Letter of Intent
Thursday, May 03, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State University athletic department announced today that Shannon Huffstetler has signed a National Letter of Intent to join head coach Ed DeChellis' basketball program for the 2001-02 season.
The Mount Holly, N.C. native, played the last two seasons at Brunswick Community College where he was a two-time All-region honoree. The 6'7" power forward averaged 16.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game for head coach Walter Shaw. A fine student-athlete, Huffstetler was on the Dean's List both years.
Huffstetler played prep basketball at East Gaston High School.
"Shannon is a strong post player that is extremely athletic," DeChellis said. "He solidifies our front line with his maturity and athletic ability."
The addition of Huffstetler completes the 2001 recruiting class. He joins James Anthony, Keeton Brooks, Michael Toliver, and Tiras Wade in a quality group.
"For the second consecutive year we have brought in an extremely strong recruiting class," DeChellis said. "I would like to compliment my assistant coaches on all of their hard work."

BBD Assistant Editor: Joe Marino
The 2014 draft class of inside linebackers looks to be about par for the course. A variety of skill sets with an overall lack of quality at the bottom of the rankings is what I have come to expect from the position, and this year appears to be no different.
Alabama's C.J. Mosley is far and away the premier talent of this group and will be on everyone's early list for 2014 defensive rookie of the year. Depending on what teams are looking for, players with starter upside could be had throughout the first four rounds.
An average of 11 inside linebackers have been drafted each year over the past five drafts. I have graded 16 prospects as draftable this year.

FINALLY! Ever since Jennifer Lawrence was cast as Katniss for the Hunger Games movie, we here at DPL have been obsessively watching for announcements on who will play Peeta, and we finally got that announcement last night!
Peeta Mellark will be played by….
Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman!
I know, I was shocked at first, too…but then I started to think about it and there are so many reasons for why Pee-Wee Herman (as played by Paul Reubens) would be an AWESOME Peeta:
1. Many of us are very worried that 20-year-old Jennifer Lawrence will not be able to pull off a believable 16-year-old girl, so what is the best way to make her look younger? Use older actors for the supporting cast! But oh no–won't that make those characters look too old? This is why Pee-Wee Herman is PERFECT! He is totally ageless!
2. Pee-Wee Herman will do anything for the loves of his life, just like Peeta. He even went all the way to the basement of the Alamo to find his bike!
3. Under pressure, Pee-Wee can think quick on his feet and easily gain the trust of his adversaries. Mostly through dancing.
I can't wait to see Pee-Wee battle the Careers!
What are your thoughts about Pee-Wee as Peeta?

Comments, questions and tips
I made these for giving out after the Mothering Sunday service in our village church last year. I topped each one with a crystallised primrose, which took hours to make. The must have gone down well beacuse I have been asked to make 4 dozen for this year. Quick, easy and just right for the occasion.
These sound yummy. I suspect the weight of the marzipan will stop the muffins from rising properly, so I'm going to leave it out and add a few drops each of almond and vanilla essence instead. The method sounds odd for an ordinary muffin, but not so much if you think of them in terms of being 'cakey'. I'm going to make a test batch this weekend. If they're good, I'm going to make them for Christmas breakfast; iced and decorated with a hand-made marzipan pear. I'll rate after I've made them.

ETSU Signs Women's Tennis Transfer
Monday, July 29, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (July 29, 2002) - Head coach Steve Brooks has announced Courtney McInnis (Tampa, Fla.), a junior transfer from Gardner-Webb University, will join East Tennessee State's women's tennis program for this upcoming season. While at Gardner-Webb, McInnis played No. 1 singles and doubles for the past two years. As a freshman in 2001, McInnis won the NCCAA national title in both singles and doubles and led her team to the team championship. Last year she guided Gardner-Webb to a second place finish in the NCCAA national tournament. McInnis went undefeated during the regular season as a high school junior and senior. In 2000 she won both the Maine State High School Singles Championship and the New England High School Singles Championship and has trained at the famous Sattlebrook Tennis Academy near Tampa, Fla. "I am very excited to sign Courtney," Brooks said. "With the experience of successfully competing at the number one spot at another NCAA Div. I school for two years, along with winning a national singles championship, she will be able to step in and help us now. Courtney has the desire, athleticism and talent to improve greatly during the spring season." Brooks is excited about the prospects of his first recruiting class since being named the Bucs head coach at the beginning of the 2001-02 season. McInnis will join other prized recruits Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland), Jewel Aldea (Charleston, S.C.) and Elena Volobueva (Krasnodar, Russia). "I am very fortunate to be able to sign four great players this year," Brooks said. "Adding Courtney, Jewel, Sylwia and Elena to the team will definitely help us compete in the strong Southern Conference."

Sejal Executive Director/Vice President, Client Reporting Operations Division, Salt Lake City
I would encourage anyone who is interested in a career in finance to be flexible and keep an open mind. This has helped me to recognize opportunities and think about other perspectives.
My Work
I work in the Operations division in Salt Lake City, working with the International Private Wealth Management (PWM) teams in Europe and Asia. We have multiple roles here. First, we provide support for all PWM investment portfolio performance returns and calculations for the European and Asia business. Secondly, my team provides general client service support for the PWM Asia business. This includes, but is not limited to, all questions related to client reporting, reconciliation, portfolio account and pricing. We also manage the approval process for all third party payment requests from Asian clients. In all three roles, we work to limit risk to the firm as well as ensure an excellent client experience.
In my first four years at the firm, I focused primarily on US business. Over the past year and a half, I have been fortunate to work with international offices. This has given me a new appreciation for the differences in the investment strategies, business goals and culture of Asia and Europe. I have also had the opportunity to travel and build strong relationships with peers and clients in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Frankfurt, Geneva and Zurich.
My Day
I find that helping my colleagues resolve problems and answer client questions is the most rewarding aspect of my role. While working on projects helps the business at a greater aggregate level, it is the individual issues that my team and I resolve that I am most proud of.
Just recently I was asked to help on a project that would impact the London and Frankfurt offices. Although this function was outside the scope of my responsibilities, my manager quickly realized that my experience with similar projects could be of valuable use. I was able to participate in that opportunity because the members of my team have a strong sense of team work and my management team recognized my skills.
My current role is dependant on my team working well together. I have also worked in an individual setting and prefer working with a team. This helps to build stronger relationships and trust amongst peers as well as bring more diverse and creative ideas to the table.
My Path
My journey at Goldman Sachs began with campus recruiting. I had just begun the process of interviewing in anticipation of the end of the university semester. I participated in a number of practice interviews for positions I did not personally desire to take.
Goldman Sachs was my first choice, and it was the first firm I approached. I had five interviews with the firm. In my initial interview, I was very nervous and felt like a deer in headlights. There was so much to learn, both about my role and the firm. I was very impressed with the sophistication and professionalism of everyone I met and was eager to learn.
Studying finance, I knew that I wanted to work in the industry, but as a student there were many aspects of working in the corporate world that I had not anticipated. At the time, I did not expect to start my career with such a large organization; rather I expected to work for a smaller private firm or in the finance department of a non-financial company.
I would encourage anyone who is interested in a career in finance to be flexible and keep an open mind. This has helped me to recognize opportunities and think about other perspectives.

Bill Wyman (born William George Perks; 24 October 1936) is an English musician best known as the bass guitarist for the English rock and roll band the Rolling Stones from 1962 until 1992. Since 1997, he has recorded and toured with his own band, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. He has worked producing both records and film, and has scored music for film in movies and television. Wyman has kept a journal since he was a child after World War II. It has been useful to him as an author who has written seven books, selling two million copies. Wyman's love of art has additionally led to his proficiency in photography and his photographs have hung in galleries around the world. Wyman's lack of funds in his early years led him to create and build his own fretless bass guitar. He became an amateur archaeologist and enjoys relic hunting; The Times published a letter about his hobby (Friday 2 March 2007). He designed and markets a patented Bill Wyman signature metal detector, which he has used to find relics in the English countryside dating back to the era of the Roman Empire. As a businessman, he owns several establishments including the famous Sticky Fingers Café, a rock & roll-themed bistro serving American cuisine first opened in 1989 in the Kensington area of London and later, two additional locations in Cambridge and Manchester, England.

Volunteers seek high impact
Beth Steinhorn has a message for New Hampshire nonprofits that want to attract more volunteers: "The days of the gray-haired ladies showing up every Tuesday at noon are waning. That generation is aging out."
Today's volunteers want to use their professional skills in shorter-term, high-impact projects, she said. "More and more people are interested in having opportunities to make a measurable difference and be collaborators and colleagues."
And she said New Hampshire "is leading the way" in responding to that change.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and NH Center for Nonprofits tapped Steinhorn, a senior strategist with JFFixler Group in Colorado, for a joint initiative called High Impact Volunteer Engagement (HIVE). Over the next year, Steinhorn will work with 10 New Hampshire nonprofit organizations to boost volunteer engagement.
Groups have until Feb. 28 to apply for the HIVE project.
Representatives from more than 80 nonprofits attended a workshop Steinhorn held here last month to talk about these demographic shifts.
Previous generations of volunteers, she said, "were greatly motivated by a desire to join organizations and to stay out of loyalty."
"Today, baby boomers and the generations that followed have many more people who volunteer for multiple organizations," she said.
And while the volunteerism rate is rising, the number of hours each individual contributes has been declining, she noted. "People really are looking for shorter, higher-impact activities rather than joining a committee, which to many younger volunteers is like a life sentence."
As a result, she said, organizations need to create new opportunities "that allow volunteers to really use their skills in project management and leadership and innovation."

11On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, 13they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. 15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? 18Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
I imagine that most of you have heard of or maybe even know a great deal about what is known as the Prosperity Gospel, some may even believe in it – and it is understandable why you would want to. Being that it is the title of today's message, we probably need to start with a little background on it before we go any further, so that we all are starting on the same page.
My personal awareness of the Prosperity Gospel (or Prosperity Theology as some call it), started with the nationally bestselling book, The Prayer of Jabez. It is a book based on 2 Bible verses 1 Chronicles 4:9 & 10. Jabez himself, after these two verses is never mentioned again.
The two verses read: "Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.' And God granted his request."
Now there is a lot of God stuff in The Prayer of Jabez, but the overarching message is that of Prosperity Theology. While it is full of good things to consume (as one reviewer aptly put it), "as a final touch the chef sprinkled just a little rat poison over the plate." In this case the poison is the author's constant suggesting that he has found the magic prayer, the magic words that will make God give you everything you want.
And that's the Prosperity Gospel. It says that God gives those whom God favors prosperity...and like I said as we began, it is understandable why people would want to believe it. Some people estimate that 10s of millions of people practice it. The most famous among those who teach it include names like Kenneth Copeland, Kennith Hagin and Joel Osteen.
In some form or another they teach of a Prosperity Gospel that says God gives those God favors all the material and physical possessions they desire. Those whom God favors are the pious; people who confess the loudest, believe the hardest, faithfully tithe. All that is asked is that they "believe, receive and act upon God's promises." If you do you will be healthy and wealthy.
Scott McKinght, a New Testament scholar and Professor of Religious Studies at North Park University, gives this helpful understanding of how to conceptualize the Prosperity Gospel, "God could be seen as The Vending Machine God: put in faith and out pops blessings – money, homes, cars, beautiful spouses, clever kids, good neighbors, big churches, and plush vacations. For the prosperity gospel, humans are The Happiness Machine: receive the blessings, rely on the promises, act on the commandments and you can put on a happy face – a big one. Every day, from the moment you get up to the closing of your eyes, happiness is the aim of life. In the prosperity gospel, God is there for us; we are here for God to bless." He concludes his thoughts saying, "To quote my father, Hogwash!"
Which brings us to today's scripture. (At this point you may be asking yourself, "it does?" but stick with me). For me today's story about the 10 lepers is a great critique of the core values of the Prosperity Gospel.
The end of this month is the 493th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing his 95 Theses to the doors of the catholic church in Wittenburg. It was his way of saying that The Church had lost it's way. It was a call for the church to abandon the false teachings it had adopted over a period of time and to reform itself more in the image of the teachings of the Bible.
As we look at what I consider to be a false teaching of The Church, I think Martin Luther is probably a fine place to start. As the reforms of the early church were taking place, reforms his 95 Theses helped to usher in, Dr. Martin Luther was asked to describe the nature of true worship. His answer was to the point. To answer the question of what the nature of true worship is like, he said, the tenth leper turning back.
On a first read though, you could almost use the story of the 10 lepers as proof for a Prosperity Gospel. Remember? It asks you to "believe, receive and act upon God's promises." The lepers believed, calling Jesus "Master." They received his instructions and they acted upon them...and they were healed of their leprosy. It does sound a bit like McKinght's "Vending Machine God."
But the curious part is the part to which Martin Luther calls our attention – the tenth leper turning back. This is where the values and foundations of the Prosperity Gospel begin to unravel.
While all ten of the lepers were healed, only one of them returned to give proper thanks and show gratitude to God. Jesus tells the one, "your faith has made you well." This is where it gets interesting. If you read closely, this leper did not do what Jesus told him to do. Jesus says, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." As a matter of fact, Jesus' question of where the other nine are seems a bit disingenuous – they are going to show themselves to the priests! This one leper didn't do it.
He decides to come back. So "believe, receive and act upon God's promises" begins to unravel. He is clearly not acting upon what Jesus said, yet he remains healed from leprosy. The question is why?
Jesus tells him, "Your faith has made you well." In The Message version of the Bible, Eugene Peterson interprets this as, "your faith has healed and saved you." We need to get in a little deeper on this thing the Martin Luther called true worship, so lets look at the original words used here. The Greek word here is sesoken, which comes from the root sozo and can mean a number of things including: healed, made well, saved. The King James Version translates it as, "Your faith has made you whole."
One thing is for certain, no matter how you translate it, this one leper (who didn't actually act upon Jesus' instructions) received something more than the others. In the eyes of Jesus, while the others were healed of leprosy, the one was made whole. In the eyes of Jesus, while the others were healed of their earthly afflictions, the one was healed of his spiritual afflictions.
You see there are more important things up for grabs here than simple healing. The key to understanding this passage and understanding the problems with the Prosperity Gospel is, just as Dr. Martin Luther suggested, understanding worship.
The one leper who came back recognizes what God has done for him through Jesus and he risks what he has been given to give praise to God. That is the key to understanding worship, understanding this passage, understanding our relationship with God and understanding the problem with the Prosperity Gospel.
The Prosperity Gospel ultimately focuses on claiming what God gives you. But, like with the one leper, worship does not focus on claiming what God gives you, it focuses on recognizing what God gives you and returning to God..even at the risk of losing what you have in order to return.
Be it worship, stewardship or life in general,
being healthy and wealth is one thing,
being made whole is another.
Be it worship, stewardship or life in general,
the thing that Dr. Martin Luther was pointing to
was a sense of gratitude rather than a sense of privilege.
Be it worship, stewardship or life in general,
we will find our wholeness,
we will find our sense of completeness,
we will find our sense of well being,
not when we claim what God gives us
but when we recognize what God gives us
and are grateful
and we return all that we are back to our God.
When we do God will look upon us and say, "Your faith has made you whole," and that...that is more of a blessing than any thing we could posses here on this earth could ever be. So, thanks be to God.
There is also a Children's Sermon to go with this message.

Lucille begs Betsy to help clear her new friend's name. And while going through her aunt's effects, Jan finds an old pillow lined with an embroidered map of Lake Minnetonka. Betsy intends to follow the threads. Who knows--it could just possibly lead to buried treasure. Or, perhaps, to a secret that someone will kill to keep buried.

"Totally addictive series"
I'm not a knitter, had to look up "counted cross stitch" to figure out what they were talking about, but the Minnesota locale drew me in to the first book -- and now I can't stop reading and/or listening.
I have no doubt it has a niche appeal -- especially the narrator. If Connie Crawford were reading any other series, I'd never get through it. But for a book focusing on the Ladies Who Knit, in Minnesota, she's perfect -- talk about type casting. That accent! Loved it -- loved it for this book, you understand. That is precisely how I would expect such a woman to sound.
Sins and Needles has much more going on than previous books -- a much more multi faceted plot line. Here we have Great Aunt Edyth, a confirmed man-hater, passing away at age 97, and leaving tens of millions of dollars plus a house filled with antiques. The various characters -- her descendants, male, female and assorted hangers-on -- all vie to get a piece of the action, but her Aunt Edyth's will makes it tough. She specifies it will only go to her FEMALE descendants -- which means that the male members, and other greedy souls (no spoiler here) have to work overtime to get their hands on some of the loot. To be honest, it's a textbook on greed and avarice -- watching all of them scheme and plot was enough to make me think that if Great Aunt Ethyl had been smart, she would have disinherited the whole crowing, clawing, vicious lot of them and left it all to an animal shelter. Sheesh! They're disgusting -- which gets pretty funny, actually. It's sort of like watching the Superbowl:. There's one ball, and everyone is willing to risk life and limb to get it.
So? Among other things, in addition to a murder via knitting needle, we end up reading about a hidden map, an actual treasure hunt -- complete with leeches! -- children born "under the blanket", lots of trivia about antiques (which I enjoyed enormously) and leeches. Did I mention the leeches? This book has got 'The African Queen' beat all to heck.
If you want a quirky listen, I highly recommend this book, and indeed this series. Lake Minnetonka never seemed so appealing.
Late middle-aged constant reader who greatly prefers Audible "reads" to radio. I love all books -- Audible, eReader and print editions.
"Wrong Reader"
I enjoy this series of mysteries and would recommend this title because the story is one of the better ones.
I was engaged in the story from the beginning and really didn't know Who Did It until quite near the end!
Unfortunately, the reader for this particular book had a voice that was VERY hard to listen to -- quite deep with very little contrast in voices with the exception of two characters who shared a deep southern drawl. In fact, one of the deepest character voices was that of the female protagonist which made it very hard to distinguish characters when she was in a dialog with a male character. This is the only book I have listened to by this reader and I will have to think about whether I would download another one.
Monica Ferris is a delightful writier with an eye to the community in Minnesota where her stories are set and that keeps me returning!
"Sins and Needles"
Actually I started reading books from this author. I was very glad to find that her books were on audio. Her books are light and fun and she keeps you guessing until the end!! I would recommend.
"Not a fan of the Narrator"
I missed the regulars in this story -- more Betsy, Jill, Lars, etc
also, this was the first narrated by Connie Crawford but I really didn't like her. Susan Boyce did a much better job.
"narrator change :("
What a pity. The previous ones were great, but this narrator is flat and unconvincing, as well as hard to follow at points
"Way to slow to keep my attention."
I have almost all of these books from Monica Ferris.I was very disappointed that the narrator was different. I believe she did narrate one other of her books and I did not think to check who the narrator was on this book. I don't think I wont to keep this one. I'm having a hard time staying with it.
"Awful in so many ways!!!"
There are so many things wrong with this story that I don't know where to begin. The first thing that irritated me was the narrator's voice. Connie Crawford has a difficult time with male and female inflection. The different voices she used were awful. Also, Crawford can't do a decent Texas accent. Being from Houston Texas, I found her attempt very irritating. Towards the end of the book it seemed as if Crawford was tired because she rushed through the reading as if she were in a race. I looked ahead and noticed that Crawford is also reading the next book. In the future I will avoid her as a narrator.
Normally I can get over a bad narrator if the story is good. No such luck. For some odd reason, the author forgot the main ingredient that makes this a successful series. Betsy, Jill, and Godwin barely had speaking parts. Instead,this story revolved around a family drama and a character that would normally be on the periphery of the story. The characters were flat and uninteresting. The plot although believable was lacking in substance. It was filled with long and unnecessary descriptions of the items found in the murder victim's home. I felt like Ferris was writing to fill pages. Also, the villain was obvious. In fact, the villain was pointed out at the beginning of the story and the reasons were spelled out over and over throughout the book.
This was not one of the best book in the series. It was the worst. I wish I hadn't wasted a credit on it.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 74 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kb21 The features are great and good storage The ice and water dispenser is an excellent feature where the drinking water is not that great March 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by nannieof3 Very Satisfied Had 2 refrigerators before this LG and I am very happy with it, roomy always has ice, door has deep shelves for storage ---like the black exterior & it's very quiet December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jackie2014 Great investment I am very pleased with my new LG Refrigerator. I especially love the 'snack drawer' and LED Lightening. A great investment! January 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jeff73 Nice Fridge I have had this for about 3 months now. I returned a GE unit that was way too noisy. The LG unit is much quieter than the GE. They both make the same kinds of compressor noise but the LG is about 40% quieter. The LED lighting is nice but could be brighter. The freezer only has 1 light (I think) but could use 2. The fridge size has 4 lights but could use 6. The water is nice and cool. Not ice cold and not warm. I have heard of people having trouble with the icemaker but mine works great. I do not use it heavily though. a digital temp display would be nice but it works good as is. January 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 Good buy this is he first LG fridge I've owned. It is a really well built fridge for the price. Lots of room and easy to use. It is definitely worth looking at and comparing with the other top brands. I would buy one again. December 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pirate08 So far so good Keeps things very cold at the default settings, good internal room, wish the drawers were easier to use. Was surprised when a magnet wouldn't stick to the front and it scratched when trying to wipe the tape residue off. November 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eagle10 Lots of space to use Very large size that holds a lot of groceries. The multiple adjustable shelves are great. October 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LLong81 Some problems, but overall a very nice unit. When I first got this refrigerator I loved it. About 30 days after buying it I was filling a glass with some wonderful ice water and the dispenser just quit. I took me another month to get a service person out here to look at it. He was here a couple of days ago and found out that the main board is fried. The part has been ordered and should be put in in 2 more weeks. This, obviously, has not been the best experience. That said, I love this refrigerator! The rest of the unit works great. I love the 3 drawers and the amount of space in this unit. All the shelves are adjustable, the filter is easy to replace when needed, although the filters are very expensive. The unit cools and freezes as well as you could want. I wish the ice maker had a little bit larger capacity but that is a minor issue and the only real gripe I have about it when it other than the main board issue. I love the LED lighting. it is nice and bright and seems to give better coverage than the old appliance lights. The control panel is clear and easy to use. The Ice and water dispenser works great for both cubes and crushed ice as well as filtered water, when it worked. All in all I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a simple refrigerator/freezer with dispenser. The quality and features are good and even though I have had an issue with it I'm sure it's rare and it is being taken care of, all be it slowly. I would still recommend this to anyone that it would be a fit for. October 6, 2014

Before Google's mobile operating system came along, Motorola aggressively pursued Mobile Linux on phones. But once Android entered the public's consciousness, Wyatt spearheaded a change in course. She has cultivated a strong community of developers who are not only innovating around Android, but also Motoblur, Motorola's custom interface for Android devices. Given her background in successful developer relations at Apple and Palm, this comes as no surprise. And now that the mobile division has been split into an independent company, Wyatt has even more opportunity to show that Motorola Mobility Holdings can reach even greater heights.
Wyatt serves on the Linux Foundation's board of directors.
Many thanks for putting me on this list! I'm actually co-founder of Layar, the Augmented Reality platform and browser. SPRXmobile was our previous company and not active anymore.
Regarding the lack of women in tech and in leadership positions: please read reflections on the World Economic Forum in Davos – the last paragraph is on the big changes which are up ahead: lead by women!
It's not a question of 'if' anymore; rather 'how fast' the change will happen. Modern leadership is feminine (or has a lot of typical feminin elements which also 'real men' can possess). Traditional companies and old fashioned leadership styles (driven by power and control) are bound to loose the game…
I think the main reason why women aren't assoicated with C level technology jobs is the fact that not many girls (at least at my school) ever go pass iPods/Phones and barely do anything more on a computer than iTunes/Facebook.
Jo Harlow should be on this list. She is after all in charge of making Nokia's smartphone partnership with Microsoft a success.
To quote the link above:
Smart Devices will be responsible for building Nokia's leadership in smartphones and will be led by Jo Harlow. The following sub-units now in Mobile Solutions will move under Smart Devices:
– Symbian Smartphones
– MeeGo Computers
– Strategic Business Operations
Oops I missed the next sentence if that quote:
"To support the planned new partnership with Microsoft, Smart Devices will be responsible for creating a winning Windows Phone portfolio."
@Techy: "not many girls (at least at my school) ever go pass iPods/Phones"
Also, please watch the video on Sheryl Sandberg's page. It will give you greater insight on the issue beyond what you've observed at school.
@Chris (not really):
This list was put together before the Nokia/Microsoft partnership. Beyond that, our (admittedly self-imposed) limit meant we left many awesome women off the list. We could easily have added 10 more and still had a strong pool to draw from.
@K.T. Bradford No Carol Bartz? President and CEO of Yahoo? That's a pretty important figure head in the role of feminine positions within the technology industry and just as much in the category of mobile tech. She also attended Obama's recent tech dinner with all the other important technology figureheads of this era along with Marissa Mayer who also attended.
@Techy Actually at my college (United Kingdom, so high school to all you Americans) there are quie a few girls who do the same course I do which is called IT Practitioners and consists of software design/development, web design/development and computer systems/networks and they all seem to be just as good as the guys if not better than quite a lot of them so your just generalizing on a presumption and essentially a stereotype. How do you know they aren't elite hackers, developers or budding and upstart online entrepreneurs when outside of school surroundings?
@Daniel, we focused pretty heavily on the mobile field and felt that Yahoo and Carol Bartz didn't fit as well given that restriction. But certainly a list of important women in tech in general would definitely include her.
@K. T. Bradford Fair enough, as I know Yahoo has been hovering around status quo for some time now and even declining in market share compared to that of their competitors such as Google and Bing as to why Bartz was brought in. Although I don't think Yahoo has been sitting idle in the mobile tech field either as they have managed to concentrate on optimizing a lot of their sites and features for mobile platforms and devices with their mobile site and apps as I was wanting them to bring a mobile version of Yahoo Answers for ages and now I can finally access a quality mobile version of it. Bartz was also at Mobile World Congress last week to showcase Yahoo's Livestand of their further development of mobile computing and optimization for mobile platforms and was also giving her vision of where mobile computing will go. Okay so they don't have a device, OS or full retail product range out but it shows their actively doing something for mobile tech hence the reason why I personally thought she should have been included in your list. But any which way its good to see a growing female presence in this industry, although what I would like to see next is more tech figures from the black community emerging.
@Daniel, I completely agree on your last point. I wanted to include Xerox CEO Ursula Burns on this list, too, but again as far as mobile tech we felt that these women & their companies had a stronger presence. But I definitely made an effort to seek out women of color in the mobile field who were possible contenders, and will continue to do so.
@K. T. Bradford Sorry I should enunciate myself. I meant I would like to see more tech figures from the black and other ethinic communities in general whether male or female (so outside of your list). Although it is good you tried making the effort for female names of colour you could compile to your list. The only reason I say this is because been black myself and a huge fan of technology there isn't really anybody from the black community who comes to mind as a significant tech figure or role model in the technology industry in contrast to say if you mentioned Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Ballmer. It would just be nice to see to be honest.

High School Freshman Takes Home Top Science Prize
15 Year-Old Whiz Kid Wins 13th Annual Orlando Science Center Competition
Orlando, FL - May 1, 2011 - Kristen Clayton, a 15 year-old freshman from Brevard County's Viera High School and a first time participant in the Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition took home the top prize during the awards ceremony on Sunday, May 1. Clayton takes home a trophy, a $5,000 cash scholarship plus $1,000 awards each for her science teacher and her school. For more than a decade, Philanthropist, Scientist and Entrepreneur Dr. Nelson Ying has hosted this competition in collaboration with the Orlando Science Center to encourage the outstanding scientific accomplishments of our community's teens.
Clayton's research concerns a rapidly growing aquatic plant named Lemna minor and its potential for use in the production of ethanol fuel. Her work allows the plant to absorb large amount of phosphates and nitrates from the water, which helps reduce algae growth while allowing the plant to attain its maximum starch content. This result makes Lemna minor ideal feedstock for ethanol production.
Currently, corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes are used to make ethanol, but using Lemna Minor instead would reduce the amount of land needed for ethanol production and keep these other plants available as food sources. Her research has multiple impacts, including helping with deforestation, fighting starvation, increasing ethanol fuel production and reducing algae growth. Clayton was inspired to pursue this research after spotting the huge masses of algae in the local waterways on her drive to school every morning. She also credits her mother, a single parent, as a major source of inspiration and support.
In addition to the top award, Event Co-Founder and Sponsor Dr. Nelson Ying and the judges' panel decided to award a $2,000 cash prize to a runner-up and then name the remaining finalists "Ying Scholars" with each receiving prizes of $1,000. The competition usually names one big winner, but multiple awards have been bestowed in the past by Ying when the judges have determined that more than one finalist was worthy of acclaim.
Collin McAliley, a 17 year-old senior from Brevard's Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High, received the $2,000 award for an extension of his research on red tide. In 2009 and 2010, he won this competition's grand prize for earlier phases of this research. This year, McAliley developed a quicker, less expensive and more accessible test to detect the most harmful toxin in red tide. This test can be done using basic lab equipment with cheaper chemicals making it available to be performed in labs everywhere. His ultimate goal is create a positive environmental impact by diminishing harmful red tides.
The other awards went to Neel Patel, a 16 year-old junior at Seminole County's Oviedo High School for his research on delivering information through sound rather than with visual displays to aid visually impaired scientists or other professionals, like fighter pilots, who are overloaded with visual information; Alex Keeler, a 17 year-old junior from Sumter County's South Sumter High School, for his research on a natural remedy to eliminate the growth of drug-resistant MRSA bacterial infections, which would have less side effects and a greater success rate than current antibiotics; and Deepak Sathyanarayan, an 18 year-old senior from Volusia County's Spruce Creek High School, for research to improve plant defenses against pathogens so they grow more efficiently and create a greater crop yield, which overall could improve worldwide food productivity, lower crop prices, and reduce the environmental strain of agriculture.
This year, the 13th Annual Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition was held April 29 to May 1. The event included the finalists defending their research before the competition's judges and taking exclusive behind-the-scenes tours at some key technology sites, including one of the power plants for Orlando Utilities Commission. The awards were distributed during a ceremony on Sunday at Fulton's Crab House at Downtown Disney.
Research projects were solicited from students in high schools or homeschool equivalents in Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Lake, Osceola, Volusia and Sumter Counties. Projects submitted were required to have an altruistic application - an ultimate goal of benefiting humanity. The finalists were chosen after a thorough review by a distinguished panel of judges, which included Ying as well as engineers, scientists and educators from Lockheed Martin, Rollins College and the University of Central Florida. By spotlighting this exceptional research, Ying hopes to inspire these youth and their peers to become tomorrow's science leaders.

Although this site isn't seeing much action these days, I know there are lurkers and big whigs still around, so I'm seeking someone with a good knowledge/experience with concrete pads.
My main questions are:
How many cubic yards of concrete does a pad take?
What is the standard size these days? (length, width, depth)
I realize the size decided determines the cubic yards. I'm also aware that you can host concrete fundraisers, get leftovers from trucks if you already have forms ready, build almost level to the ground, but I'm more concerned about estimating the costs of pads and that comes down to size and amount of concrete. Any words of wisdom are appreciated.... Feel free to respond here, pm, or call me.

GGZ Gaming Zone tarjoaa täysin ilmaisen infrastruktuurin online-peleille. Se on aina tarjonnut jonkin asteisen KDE-integraation, kuitenkin versiosta KDE 4.0 alkaen täm6auml integraatio on käytettävissä suoraan KDE Games-kirjastosta (libkdegames).
Toistaiseksi vilkaise API-dokumentteja: kggzmod, kggznet ja kggzgames.
Joukko opastusohjeita on lähetetty osoitteeseen kde-games-devel -luettelo.
In the time up to the KDE 4.0 release, most of the groundwork was laid which makes GGZ development based on KDE libraries possible. Three libraries (kggzmod, kggzgames, kggznet) have been written and some CMake macros were also created. See API docs.
KDE 4.0 will ship with KReversi and KBattleship which both provide a GGZ networking mode which gets activated when launching the games from a GGZ core client. KReversi running on GGZ leads to GGZ's own KReversi being renamed to KGGZReversi, something that was planned for a long time. Both will use the GGZ Reversi server. For KBattleship, a dedicated server named Submarine was written in Python and is available in GGZ SVN.
KDE 4.1 shall add KSquares, which is compatible with GGZ's Connect the Dots server (patch already exists). KWin4 support is also planned. It would therefore supersede the KDE3-based KConnectX client released with GGZ 0.0.14. Also, additional games might be ported. In KDE 4.1, better core client integration is also planned. This might include embedded core clients (i.e. games can connect to GGZ servers on their own), a port of KGGZ to KDE 4, and GGZ integration with Jabber including some Kopete widgets related to online gaming.
While KDE 3-based development of GGZ games requires the ggzmod library, KDE 4 has kggzmod and thus the libraries and all games using it will compile without any further dependencies. In order to be able to play the games from an online gaming client (the so-called GGZ core clients such as KGGZ), the game client still needs to be registered with the GGZ game modules registry. The tool ggz-config, which is part of the ggz-client-libs package, is needed for this task. Most distributions ship it as part of a ggzcore-bin package or similar. The file module.dsc contains meta information about the game, such as its author, UI library/environment it runs in and where its executable is located. The two important values are which protocol it uses and which version of the protocol.
ProtocolEngine=TicTacToe ProtocolVersion=2 </code> If and only if those two match the values of the game server, this game client will be offered to players! More information about this file can be found in the ggz-config [http://svn.ggzgamingzone.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/ggz-client-libs/ggz-config/readme.ggzconfig readme file] and in the [http://www.ggzgamingzone.org/docs/guides/gamedev/ggz-game-development-guide.pdf GGZ game development guide] (which contains a lot more information and should really be printed out). Please consider re-using existing protocols for equal or similar games. The three places to look at are: KDE Games, GNOME Games, and the games shipped by the GGZ project in their various packages. On http://www.ggzgamingzone.org/engines/ there is a list of all known GGZ games. ==Kehitys== See the tutorials linked above. There is not that much new information right now.
