By Rev. Adam J. CopelandSome people call them "thin places," locations where the gulf between heaven and earth narrows and we fully sense God's presence. Many people find these thin places in nature. Others discover them in the familiarity of a favorite book, a worshiping community, or a touching song. Though these thin places are inherently unpredictable, we can aid in their creation. Like Philip in Acts 8, we can run to join what the Spirit is already making possible. … [Read more...]

Four Colorado institutions join together to launch statewide science and technology education collaborative
Program Designed to Position Colorado as Leader in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education
DENVER (Sept. 21, 2009) – Four Colorado institutions: Metropolitan State College of Denver, the Colorado School of Mines, the Community College of Denver, and the Cherry Creek School District, have come together to form an unprecedented alliance – the Colorado Academy for the Development of STEM-related Careers (Colorado ADSC). Colorado ADSC is designed to position the state as a leader in scientific and technology education and to ensure that Colorado's students – from kindergarten to the graduate level – are tapped-in and connected to cutting edge innovation.
According to founders Jeff Forrest, Chair of the Aviation and Aerospace Science Department at Metro State College, and Burke Fort, Director of the 8th Continent Project, a global initiative of the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado ADSC is "a response to the needs of Colorado employers and government officials to coordinate efforts that bolster education and interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among students of all ages."
Colorado ADSC's initial focus will be on aerospace, providing education, scholarships, internships, career guidance and mentoring opportunities to students and members of the community desiring skills and competencies needed to obtain jobs in aerospace related industries and economic sectors. Colorado ADSC will provide educational certifications and specialized training that connect its targeted learning communities to job readiness and career enhancement. Colorado ADSC will also include collaboration with Colorado Workforce Centers that will facilitate training and assist in job placement.
As Forrest described it, Colorado ADSC is a "community of intellectual capital and knowledge-sharing that will reach students of all ages to encourage innovation and creativity in the sciences, technology and entrepreneurship."
Promoting STEM education is a national initiative that many states and government officials, including Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, have embraced and even mandated. Current data shows that U.S. students are lagging behind their counterparts in other countries in STEM education achievement and, in fact, are often going so far as to forgo college due to lack of experience and exposure to the four key areas of STEM.
The mission of the Colorado ADSC is, according to Forrest, to span all levels on the educational chain.
"Colorado ADSC is about bridge-building," he explained. "Our program is about cooperative education, from kindergarten to Ph.D.s, to share knowledge and provide leadership across all areas that will create scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs – today and in the future – who are open to collaboration and grounded in science but also inspired by invention and originality."
As Forrest and Fort describe it, the "bridge" is currently anchored on one end by the Cherry Creek School District and its current $18 million project to promote STEM district-wide, and on the other by the Colorado School of Mines, a world-class research institution recognized in the areas of engineering and applied sciences, resource exploration, extraction, production and utilization. Its 8th Continent Project is a global non-profit entrepreneurship initiative with a network of technologists, educators, government leaders and investors working together to form the world's most comprehensive effort to integrate space technology and resources into the global economy.
Metro State College and CCD represent the middle of the bridge. As Gudryn Doherty, dean of math and science at CCD, explained, "STEM is about getting kids excited about science and technology. By being part of Colorado ADSC, we are helping our students access the courses they need to enter the Colorado technology workforce, equipped with credentials ranging from technician certifications to 4-year and graduate degrees."
For Richard Charles, director of the STEM Center at Overland/Prairie being part of ADSC "fulfills our mission to inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve, to care."
"For decades, Colorado has been on the cutting edge of technology and especially so in aerospace," said Fort. "Colorado ADSC – with its keen focus on connecting STEM education with STEM-related careers and prosperity – is just another example of our state's commitment and a substantial step forward in ensuring both Colorado's economic vitality and bright futures for Colorado students of all ages."
Fort sees the future of Colorado ADSC as an initiative that could potentially engage all academic institutions and workforce centers throughout the state. "We welcome anyone who has an interest in STEM – other colleges and universities, other school districts, community colleges – to join us in this effort," Fort said. "Mines is proud to be a part of this important initiative."

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated July 29th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: People have a disposition to make a hell on earth in the name of love of Allah. 'O Lord, I Love you," they say as they pour petrol over and try to burn themselves. Does Allah tell you to do that? You should make a paradise on earth, let this world be a beautiful place full of love. They have taught people to be rude, to scold one another, to shout and swear at one another, to insult and play games with one another. They even teach young girls and children, the majority of them, to behave badly. Children do not normally know such things, but they teach them, so now even children know them. Answering back, for instance.. Sulking, pulling faces, using different tactics. They make a hell on earth with their own hands. My brother, stop it and behave like a normal person. Smile and rejoice at Allah's blessings. We are friends and brothers and that is great. Why do you insist on playing games, setting traps? You must think positively and well of people. Isn't that so? Do things to please them. Do good things for them so they will do them back to you. Live easy. Allah says He will give us good lives in the Paradise. But they are making a hell on earth with their own hands. Fifty percent of the world's industry is set aside for making weapons to kill people, 50% in all countries. Bullets and guns for the army and the police, rockets, bombs to be launched from the air, napalm bombs.. They are working out how much nitro glycerin needs to be added to increase the devastating impact of napalm bombs. Cluster bombs. They say; "When these bombs explode they do not kill enough people, let us put clusters inside so that those clusters explode as well and really wreak all kinds of damage."
And the others say; "Congratulations on this discovery. Here is an extra bonus on top of your salary."
My brother, instead of spending your time on cluster bombs and napalm bombs, go pour candies on children, or send them toys from the air instead of bombs. Pour food and chocolate on them. Isn't that right? Pour chocolate candies that would drop down softly spinning around themselves, so that they can eat it. Bring fruit in on lorries, instead of rockets. Fill your naval ships with food, instead of heavy weaponry. Satan has set people at one another's throats. But the system of the Mahdi will put an end to this scourge. It is a terrible thing to make weapons to kill people. Is that all you can find to do? Is that not a pity on the poor and wretched? With those bombs exploding you would be burning those people alive, blowing their heads off, ripping their arms and legs off. And this one then says; "Good shot! High five!" What are you happy about? You are killing people. That American pilot, did you see that the other day? He launched missiles from the air and sang songs of joy to accompany them. "Bull's eye!" The missiles they launch blow Muslims to smithereens. And they are weeping for joy. My brother, Afghanistan is already very poor. They have been impoverished for hundreds of years, the poor things. What more do you want from them? If you want to do good, then send them books and educate them. Give them food and drink. Build plants and factories. Isn't that right? They are devout believers. Do you think you can force them to renounce their beliefs by beating and insulting? "Why are they so fanatical?" they say. Well, you have left them in ignorance. You left them in the hands of the communists. The Russians run those poor ones of mine off their feet. Communists ruined them. They spent a long time in a state of captivity under them. Then they left and America sat on them instead. Leave them to be in peace, if you are worried about their ignorance, then educate them. Send teachers and open schools. They wouldn't object to that. Give them food. Do you think that you can get those people renounce their ideas by beating and insulting like this? By cutting off fingers and ears? They will just hate you even more. You must resolve matters with love. It is the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah who will do that. The world will be in a constant state of pain and suffering so long as they resist. They should put an end to that resistance.

David Hall: The 1930-S is an interesting issue. It is fairly common in circulated grades, but it is definitely scarce in mint state. It is way rarer in mint state and Gem condition than the San Francisco Mint issues that follow, including the ultra low mintage 1931-S. The 1930-S is usually decently struck by S-Mint Buffalo nickel standards. Luster is usually very frosty and iridescent.

No doubt he can find some bargeman there who will take the boy in.
Yet who does not feel that there is a nobility about a sailor which a bargeman cannot claim?
Perhaps it was so likened by the lonely bargeman, standing on the brink of the lock.
Unloading the wheat is the hardest part of the bargeman's work.

"My mother was a Frenchwoman, and my father an Essex bargeman," he said abruptly.
The bargeman was asked for his knife, and Ludlow himself made the first cut upon the solid and difficult mass.
He heard it at the Brocas; a bargeman told him about a quarter of an hour ago.'
Approaching nearer and nearer, the bargeman became Bradley Headstone, in rough water-side second-hand clothing.

Behind the scenes of Lea Michele's first music video
(Yahoo!) - Lea Michele may still be singing and dancing as Rachel Berry on "Glee," but the 27-year-old is finally getting a music video to call her own.
On Sunday, the actress took to Twitter to share sneak peeks of the set where she was shooting the video for the first single off her debut record. And, by the looks of her all-caps tweets, she was pretty pumped about it, too.
SO EXCITED SHOOTING MY VERY FIRST MUSIC VIDEO TODAY FOR THE FIRST ALBUM SINGLE! pic.twitter.com/PWdntTpITE— Lea Michele (@msleamichele) November 17, 2013
The big day began with a tease — "Very early morning.. But for something so amazing," she wrote — and concluded with heartfelt appreciation: "Truly an incredible day… Thank u @melaniemakeup @marktownsend1 @Ashlie_Johnson & @Estee Stanley #dreamcometrue."

Lea has also been hinting about upcoming performances as well, writing, "At rehearsal now practicing w/ my band for my first live performance of my single! Which is happening very soon! #DreamComeTrue."
The songstress had already finished recording the album when her boyfriend, Cory Monteith, passed away in July, but she admitted to Elle magazine in the December 2013 issue that she went back into the studio after he died to record "You're Mine," a special song for her late on and off screen beau.
"The album was done, and the label said, 'Do you want to add anything?' I was like, 'I might regret it if I don't," she confessed. "It makes me so happy, this song. It makes me think so much of Cory. It was ours. When I think of him, I play this."

Call of Duty series and a must-have shooter for hardcore fans, if you are looking for an exciting campaign and multiplayer action.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
The less popularized events of World War II are focused by World at War. The game splits between two soldiers: The Russian campaign and the American campaign. These are altered every few levels with two parallel storylines. The gameplay is one of the most exciting points as there are multiple ways to complete an objective. There are not many differences from the previous games of the series. The AI-controlled partners help by providing backup, cover firing, etc. in the missions of the game. Opponent soldiers and AI-controlled partners spawn infinitely unless you succeed in hitting the triggers that lets you reach further.
Each soldier's campaign initiates weaponless and surrounded by the enemy. You never forget these fatal confrontations although the emotional part lurches towards the victory ultimately. These emotional tones are setup by the superior officer, with extremely well-acted dialogues, who joins you in battles. With the inclusion of the Thompson submachine gun, the Mosin-Nagant rifle and the Panzerschreck anti-tank rocket launcher makes the action somewhat nostalgic.
The dropped weapons from fallen adversaries can be picked up over the course of game but, these weapons just replace the weapons being carried. Only two weapons can be carried in the player's arsenal along with hand-grenades. The accuracy, stealth and the player's rate of movement are all affected by the different stances: crouching, standing and prone. These stances provide cover and help to recover health. When significant damage is done to the player, the edges of the screen go red which indicates for taking cover. These screen signs also include the coming and the direction of grenades.
World at War scores with the multiplayer and online system of gameplay. This makes a jump from the previous Call of Duty games by offering two-player split-screen and four-player online cooperative campaign play. The ranking and the reward system are similar to Modern Warfare with just a tweak here and there.
World at War looks very good on all systems. The level of detail, the character design and the voice acting feel almost as good as real. This makes a convincing addition to the Call of Duty series and a must-have shooter for hardcore fans, if you are looking for an exciting campaign and multiplayer action.

Making the most of your HSA
As health savings accounts (HSAs) become more popular with employers and employees, you should be well-informed about the benefits and rules around this option. For example, did you know you can use an HSA as a savings/investment tool? Most HSAs are tax-advantaged, offer investment options and you can use them in retirement planning.
So, what else do you need to know? To get the most out of an HSA, you need to understand some of the long-term benefits of this health care savings strategy and what options are available when you sign up for an HSA.
Move past the "use it or lose it" mentality
HSAs are different than flexible spending arrangements‡ (FSAs), because your unused HSA balance rolls over from year to year so you will not give up the money and your account may grow over time. FSA funds that aren't used by the customer within a certain time period are lost.Here is an example of how an HSA can be used to save for future expenses.You're a generally healthy, 20-something male who doesn't have many major health care expenses. You would like to save for future health care expenses for when you start a family or possibly for when you are closer to retirement age and are more likely to have substantial health care costs. You should consider an HSA.
Take a long-term view
Eligible HSA deposits are tax-deductable, earnings grow tax-free‡(1), and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free1. These features may make the HSA a more appealing choice than other tax-advantaged financial instruments such as an IRA‡. With an IRA, you will pay income tax on your withdrawals used to pay for medical expenses and you may have to pay a penalty for withdrawing money too early. If you withdraw from an HSA for a non-qualified medical expense, you will have penalties and tax implications similar to an IRA.Many HSAs offer investment options. You can invest part or all of your HSA into money market accounts‡(2),or self-directed brokerage accounts (3) for mutual funds‡ or individual stocks. Like all investments, other factors will determine the actual returns on those made within an HSA, but the reality is that these options are underutilized by most HSA accountholders.
Learn more and determine next steps
If your company offers a high-deductible health insurance plan with an HSA, talk to your benefits department about what is included with the HSA. Determine if an HSA is right for you at the time. Many benefit partners will offer "people like me scenarios" to give you a better idea of how you can benefit from an HSA.Here is another example of how an HSA can be used to save for future expenses within a shorter timeframe.
You're a woman in your 50s and you are preparing for your retirement in the next 10 to 15 years. You have noticed that your health issues are more frequent and more expensive. You realize that the HSA makes the most sense for you to start investing in now, while you're still eligible. You also learn that you can make a catch-up contribution to your HSA since you are over age 55. It's not too late for you to consider an HSA.

UMB CFO Mike Hagedorn discusses the innovation of HSAs and how they have become an important part of the payments industry. He explains the distinction between product and innovation and how a company can poise itself to be a leader in innovation.
1All mention of taxes is made in reference to federal tax law. States can choose to follow the federal tax-treatment guidelines for HSAs or establish their own; some states tax HSA contributions. Please check with your state's tax laws to determine the tax treatment of HSA contributions, or consult your tax adviser. Neither UMB Bank n.a., its parent, subsidiaries nor affiliates are engaged in rendering tax advice.
2 Contributions up to the $1,000 peg balance are FDIC insured. Any funds over the peg balance that are swept into a money market mutual fund are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market mutual fund.

Celebrate a Conservative's BirthdayMore Activism Ideas
Pass out literature and treats in honor of a famous conservative's birthday. For example, Barry Goldwater was born January 1, 1909, Ronald Reagan on February 6, 1911, or Russell Kirk on October 19, 1918
Ronald Reagan was much more than a President. He was the leader of a movement to restore our nation's confidence in fundamental American principles; a movement that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
From his "A Time for Choosing" speech in 1964 to his address at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987, his historic words and deeds comprise the conscience of the American Conservative movement. Reagan will always be remembered as "The Great Communicator" for the practical value and moral worth of free market economics, limited government, peace through strength, and traditional values.
Today, however, President Reagan faces vicious revisionism in the university environment, with leftist faculty attacking his record in office, his character, and even his intelligence. Most college students today were born after the Reagan years and did not have the chance to hear his message - a message of real hope and change that is more important than ever before.
But for those like you and I who have made the effort to read and learn about Ronald Reagan, we know that our nation's oldest President devoted his life to the newest, youngest idea in all of man's relation to man: freedom.
Bring the Reagan Revolution to your campus on Ronald Reagan's Birthday - February 6th!
How to Take Action:
1. Decide on an event format. Your Reagan birthday celebration can take on any of a number of formats. Most student groups hold public birthday parties with ice cream or cake. Others create outdoor displays highlighting Ronald Reagan's contributions to history or reenact his famous speeches publically. Student groups can also invite speakers who knew or worked for Ronald Reagan or screen documentaries about his life. However, if you're planning for a speaker, you should invite them at least 3 months in advance.
2. Reserve space on campus. Depending on your event format, there are a variety of possibilities for your venue. If you are simply offering cake, ice cream and information on Reagan's life and accomplishments, a table in your student union should work fine. For an outdoor display, make sure to reserve a space in a high-traffic area on campus. Film screenings or speaker events will require more preparation in regard to a venue. You will want to contact your office of student life or student government to receive a list of available rooms with the appropriate resources, including A/V equipment or adequate seating.
3. Invite allied organizations. Ask other conservative and libertarian groups on campus to help out volunteering at the event. Even groups that are not traditionally considered "Reaganite" may be interested in spreading Reagan's principles and achievements, or have members that admire Ronald Reagan.
4. Hold a planning meeting. Designate students to purchase supplies, advertise and volunteer at your event. If you are hosting a speaker, determine who will handle his or her accommodations for the day of the event as well as someone to deal with technical and A/V issues. Finally, find one or two members of your organization to deal with all media inquiries.
5. Advertise. Post flyers around campus and send out a university-wide email explaining the event in further detail. Also make sure to use Facebook, Twitter, and other online tools to publicize your event. Finally, send out a press release with specific details on the event a few days prior. If you're hosting a speaker, follow up with media contacts to ensure that they are attending.
6. Collect materials. For your typical Reagan birthday event, you will need plenty of cake and ice cream for students to enjoy. Another great idea is to provide jellybeans (since they were Reagan's favorite candy). At the bottom of this page, you will find a flier on Reagan's accomplishments and conservative principles. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and you will also receive a free package of Reagan-related books to pass out to new members or your best volunteers.
7. Prepare for opposition. No matter what kind of event you hold, you'll probably run into some folks who disagree with you. Be on the lookout for leftist opponents who will try to use intimidation tactics to thwart your activism. Keep a video camera on hand in case you need to document abuse from students, faculty or administrators. This could include damage to your display or attempts to have you removed for "offending" them with your activism.
8. Celebrate the life of Ronald Reagan. If you are tabling, holding an outdoor display, or screening a film, pass out cake, ice cream, jellybeans and fliers to passersby. Engage fellow students and educate them on Reagan's life, leadership style, and achievements as President. For new members, you might want to offer them a copy of a Reagan book provided by the Leadership Institute.
9. Advertise again. Make sure to collect photos and video from your event to share with local press in a follow up media release. You can also post about your Reagan Birthday event on CampusReform.org, which is a great place to publish your club's latest events so supporters and community members can keep track of your activities.

Camino: Five Thoughts on Indians series in Houston
The Cleveland Indians wrapped up a series victory on Sunday evening in Houston edging the Astros 5-4 in the series-finale at Minute Maid Park. The Tribe won two-straight Saturday and Sunday after falling 3-2 in the series lid lifter on Friday in the first meeting of the season between the two clubs.
On Sunday the Indians battled back from a 2-0 deficit to power past the lowly Astros, however the finish was not for the faint of heart as two-time All-Star closer Chris Perez loaded the bases before finally slamming the door and earning his second save of the season ensuring a series victory.
Here are five things I pondered during the Indians recent three-game series in Houston:
1. "Mega Mark": Is it too early to sign Mark Reynolds to a multi-year deal? This time I'm not being sarcastic. Many different players contributed to the Indians series win in Houston, but nobody more than the Tribe's new right-handed slugger. Reynolds belted two home runs in the series to bring his season total to seven on the season to go along with 18 RBIs and a .298 batting average. Some Tribe fans had no idea who Reynolds was when the club signed him over the off-season, I doubt that is the case anymore. The slugger has shown early on he is much more valuable than just a power-hitting DH. Besides bringing a relaxing clubhouse presence, Reynolds can also flash the leather. His diving stop at third base (his first game there this season) on Sunday afternoon saved the game for the Indians and Perez was the first person to praise him for that following the victory. I'm not sure what his nickname will be whether it's "Mega Mark", "Renegade Reynolds" or the "Sheriff of Swattingham"…whatever he ends up going by, his first 17 games with Cleveland have been very impressive. Let's not forget, this is the same guy who hit 44 home runs and drove in 102 RBIs in 2009 with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Mark Reynolds is off to a great start in his first season with the Indians hitting .298 with 7 HRs and 18 RBIs. He's also shown impressive glove work at 1B and 3B. AP Photo
2. Starting pitching concerns: The concerns I had regarding the Indians starting pitching still remain after 17 games…actually they've probably been elevated even more. Besides Justin Masterson and Zach McAllister, it feels like a crapshoot when anybody else takes the mound to start a game for the Wahoos. Over the weekend not one starting pitcher went past five innings for Cleveland and that is a major concern for manager Terry Francona who always insists on preserving his bullpen. Brett Myers landed on the 15-day DL after inflammation in his right forearm, he only pitched five innings in Friday's loss. Left-hander Scott Kazmir could not even get through the fourth inning as a starter. While Ubaldo Jimenez was better on Sunday than his previous two outings, even he could not get past the fifth inning. The blue print for Indians victories is simple: starting pitchers go six innings, let the trio of Joe Smith, Vinnie Pestano and Chris Perez take over for the 7th, 8th and 9th innings. So far through 17 games, that has rarely been the case due to inconsistent outings from the starting staff.
3. Dealing with offensive inconsistencies: I have come to the conclusion that we better just get used to an inconsistent offense which features the potential for a lot of "swing & miss", but also a lot of home runs. Heck, over their past three games alone the Indians have hammered a combined eight home runs! Quite a difference from a year ago. But take a look at the Indians run total over their first 17 games; this is a game-by-game look at the amount of runs they have scored since Opening Night in Toronto: 4, 3, 8, 0, 0, 13, 6, 1, 1, 9, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 19 and 5. That offensive output screams inconsistency, that is something Tribe fans could live with if the starting pitching rotation was going out and putting up zeroes consistently, however that is obviously not the case. The offense is certainly much improved from a year ago, but through 17 games it has been way to inconsistent…at least to gauge whether they can consistently provide enough runs for a shaky pitching rotation.

4. Keeping one's perspective: It was comical to hear talk radio in Cleveland for several days during the Indians five-game losing streak. I'm not sure if I blame callers/fans or the hosts. I am probably part of the problem too, but let's take a deep breath for one second here. Following the Indians five-game losing streak they had played 14 games into the 2013 season….that's 8% of the baseball season. A 162-game baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint and over the course of a 162-game six month baseball season, "the cream eventually rises to the top." Two years ago the Indians started the 2011 season 30-15. How did that season finish up? A year ago the Tribe was in first place after 2 ½ months. Any idea how that went? My point is: while the Indians certainly have their fair share of question marks and uncertainties, no one should be panicking after 14 games. The problem with fans nowadays is that everybody wants to know the answer right away! Many fans want to know, "Is this team good?" The beauty of baseball is that you probably will not have your answer for another four or five months. Have some patience, let's enjoy this 2013 season one game at a time.
5. Finally getting to the trio: I'll keep this short and sweet before we wrap this up. I have talked about it since Opening Night in Toronto on April 2. The blue print to Cleveland Indians victories during this 2013 season is: the starting pitching gives the club six solid innings followed by the 7-8-9 innings combination of Smith, Pestano and Perez. The trio was dominant a year ago winning over 90% of the games they appeared in and if the offense can plate some runs early on and the starting pitcher can give the team six, that should be a recipe for a slew of Tribe victories. Smith and Perez were a little shaky on Sunday afternoon during the Indians 5-4 win over the Astros, but they eventually pulled it together to slam the door. If starters can give Cleveland six strong innings, I'd bet on the "made men" of the "Bullpen Mafia" finishing the job the final three innings of work.
Final thought: When this season started I projected the Indians to go 81-81. Through 17 games my prediction appears to be right on the money, however I should be clear; I hope I am wrong. My concerns about the starting pitching rotation still remain, however this offense has a ton of pop and the bullpen might just be the best group we have seen in Cleveland. The thing I like about this club is how it is constructed. It seems to have the perfect mix of young players, guys in their prime and a few grizzled veterans…that concoction of players could mean more than anyone will ever give it credit for.

Wash. Post echoed Bush administration's false claim that federal agencies "function as backup" in a disaster
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
In a September 9 Washington Post article, staff writer Bradley Graham falsely claimed that under the National Response Plan (NRP) developed after 9-11, federal agencies "are supposed to function as backup to state and local ones" in the event of a catastrophe, echoing statements made by Bush administration officials. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security's NRP clearly states that in catastrophic cases, the federal government should adopt a "proactive" response and operate independently of state governments to provide disaster relief.
In his September 9 Post article, Graham wrote:
National plans developed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rest on the notion that police, fire and other emergency groups are best positioned to serve as first responders. Federal agencies are supposed to function as backup to state and local ones, and military forces are meant to play a largely supporting role to civilian authorities.
But Katrina showed what can happen when the foundation of this organizational structure is quickly overwhelmed and disintegrates, according to government officials and independent analysts.
"The would-be first responders at the state and local level were themselves victims in very large numbers," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said at a news conference this week. As a result, "we had a situation that was distinctly different than in past events of this type."
As Media Matters for America noted, the National Response Plan prescribes a "proactive federal response" to "catastrophic events" such as Hurricane Katrina. Under such a response, standard procedures regarding requests for federal aid by state governments are expedited or even suspended so that "federal response resources" may be immediately deployed. The National Response Plan stipulates that the federal government must notify and coordinate with the state, but "the coordination process must not delay or impede the rapid deployment and use of critical resources."
Additionally, The New York Times reported on September 9 that the Bush administration recognized the federal government's authority to assume full control of the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts as the situation in New Orleans deteriorated after the levees were breached. However, according to the Times: "For reasons of practicality and politics, officials at the Justice Department and the Pentagon, and then at the White House, decided not to urge Mr. Bush to take command of the effort. Instead, the Washington officials decided to rely on the growing number of National Guard personnel flowing into Louisiana, who were under Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco's control."

WATCH: Family rescued after van plows into ocean
(NEWSER) – Investigators still don't know how or why a pregnant woman drove her car straight into the ocean in Daytona Beach, Fla., yesterday with her kids inside. The mother and her three children, ages 10, nine, and three, were driving on the beach in a place where cars are allowed on the sand. Investigators haven't been able to figure out exactly what happened before the SUV crashed into the water, but someone who helped in the rescue told WESH one of the kids said their mom was trying to kill them. But the station also notes she could have had a medical emergency at the wheel, causing her to lose control. A tourist from Canada caught the entire rescue on camera. Newsy reports:

Human rights foundation condemns Kanye West's Kazakhstan performance
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
The Human Rights Foundation is coming down hard on Kanye West for his reported performance in Kazakhstan over the weekend.
The rapper was reportedly paid $3 million to perform at the wedding of the grandson of the country's President Nursultan Nazarbayev, a reputed dictator.
In a statement, HRF's President Thor Halvorssen says Kanye "would find himself in prison" if he lived in Kazakhstan because Nazarbayev's regime "crushes freedom of speech and association." Halvorssen also called the country a "human rights wasteland."
Meantime, former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov - who now serves as chairman of the Human Rights Foundation - says Kanye "entertained a brutal killer and his entourage."
Kasparov also drew a comparison between Kanye's performance and the recent controversy surrounding a similar performance by Jennifer Lopez in Turkmenistan.

The Pokéathlon Dome is a location in Johto found in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, west of the National Park. It is the place where Pokéathlon competitions are held.
The player plays different athletic mini-games with three Pokémon. There are five different courses:
|Speed Course
|Power Course
|Skill Course
|Stamina Course
|Jump Course
There are also ten different events. In each even you need to use two different skills for something, for exmple you need Stamina and Power for Block Smash. No Pokémon are banned from the Pokéathlon events and certain Pokémon specialise in different skills, for example Flying Pokéemon specialise in Jumping. You can use ApriJuice to improve skills. Using ApriJuice will however decrease some stats and wears off after a while.
Many trainers can be seen with their Pokémon, practicing for the Pokéathlon's various competitions. A women on the west side of the area will give away an Apricorn Box, and afterwards will sell Aprijuice.
The Aprijuice Stand sells a variety of Aprijuice which change on a daily basis. The price of the drinks are determined on how famous in Trainers selling them are.
A vending machine is located in the northwest corner of the main Pokéathlon floor. This vending machine is unique as it allows the player to also purchase items with Athlete Points.
The Athlete Shop, located at the far right counter, allows for the points earned from competing in Pokéathlons to be traded for various items, with each iten only available to be bought once per day. The item listing changes on a day-to-day basis.
In the Basement there are four rooms where information about the player's pokémon can be seen.
In the Solidarity Room the player can see his or her point records in every course, and whch Pokémon team was used to obtain each record. A score of 420 in a course earns a Collective Trophy.
The Trust Room is unloked by earning all five course medals. In this room the player can see all the medals obtained for each individual Pokémon species. A Trust Trophy is earned by getting a certain number of Pokémon species to Medalist (all 5 medals) status. A trophy is earned upon reaching 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 different medalist Pokémon.
The Potential Room is unlocked by having at least one Medalist Pokémon. The player can see a top 5 list of scores in each event, and the Pokémon used to obtain the event. The player can also see how many times he or she has plated each event in single-player or link mode.
The Friendship Room is unlocked by beating all the preset 1st records seen in the Potential Room. This room simply has a golden statue of the player, as well as statues of the last Pokémon team the player won the Pokéathlon with. If the player checks their statue, he or she will see their global Pokéathlon score, as well as their global Pokéathlon Trophy count. As the global Pokéathlon score increases past certain milstones, the player is awarded Friendship trophies.

Was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others are Ecuador and Venezuela). A four-decade long conflict between government forces and anti-government insurgent groups, principally the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) heavily funded by the drug trade, escalated during the 1990s. The insurgents lack the military or popular support necessary to overthrow the government and violence has been decreasing since about 2002, but insurgents continue attacks against civilians and large areas of the countryside are under guerrilla influence or are contested by security forces. More than 31,000 former paramilitaries had demobilized by the end of 2006 and the United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) as a formal organization had ceased to function. In the wake of the paramilitary demobilization, emerging criminal groups arose, whose members include some former paramilitaries. The Colombian Government has stepped up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, and now has a presence in every one of its administrative departments. However, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

In the early sixties a librarian named Alfred Brandon recognized the growing need for an information tool to help guide medical librarians in their collection development decisions. The "Brandon/Hill Selected List of Print Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library" was first published in 1965. From its beginnings as a core list of clinical titles for hospital libraries, the Brandon/Hill list grew to become an indispensable selection tool for small hospital libraries as well as large academic medical libraries.
With the death of Dorothy R. Hill, co-author of the "Selected List," the final edition of the "Brandon/Hill" medical list ceased publication in 2003. In 2010, members of the Medical Library Association's Books Panel realized the need that had arisen for a resource that could be used for collection development purposes just as the Brandon/Hill lists had been used, especially in the area of digital and online publications.
The Medical Library Association's Master Guide to Authoritative Information Resources in the Health Sciences is that new, indispensable collection development tool for librarians. It includes over 1,600 authoritative book and serial recommendations in print, digital and online formats. The editors of the Master Guide selected 108 contributors for their subject knowledge and expertise to compile the "best titles" across 35 specialties for this unique guide.
Now, Dana Medical Library is thrilled to recognize one of their own as a contributor to The Master Guide. Frances Delwiche, MLIS, MT(ASCP) is the expert contributor of the Clinical Laboratory Science specialty section in this work, that is sure to become an updated option to the iconic Brandon/Hill Selected List.

Cedar City police are now investigating a double homicide following the death of a second victim Tuesday.
Police said Diann Bailey, 59, died from her injuries after being shot at 386 N. 400 West in Cedar City on Friday.
Jeffery Lane Hardy, 52, was also killed in the shooting.
Police have named Thad Robertson, 54, as the only person of interest in the death of Bailey and Hardy. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine, possessing a deadly weapon by a restricted person and possessing drug paraphernalia. He has not been charged in connection with the alleged homicides.
Officers responded to the home at about 2 p.m. Friday after they received reports about a suicidal man and a possible shooting, according to a news release. Robertson was outside the home when police arrived and told officers there were two people inside, one of whom may have been armed with a handgun. He said at least one had been shot.
When police went inside the home, they found Hardy dead and Bailey suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. She was taken to a local hospital and then flown by medical helicopter to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, where she died Tuesday.
According to Utah court records, all three of the people involved in the shooting case have lived at the Cedar City home at one time or another: Robertson has lived there since 2006, Bailey listed it as her address in 2007, and Hardy was living there in 2011.
In July 2007, Bailey filed for a protective order against Robertson, but two weeks later asked a judge to dismiss it, according to court records.
Robertson has a criminal record beginning in 1997 with a misdemeanor reckless driving conviction. He pleaded guilty in 1998 to driving under the influence, and in 2001 again pleaded guilty to a DUI. In 2007, he entered a plea in abeyance to a misdemeanor theft charge.
Hardy in 2001 was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and six misdemeanors. In December 2001 he settled the case by pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor count of attempted possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance and DUI. He was sentenced to two years probation, a fine and 10 days in jail.
Earlier in 2011, Hardy pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of threat of violence and was sentenced to probation, which included a domestic violence evaluation.
Bailey's criminal record consists of a 2007 conviction for criminal mischief, for which she paid a fine and completed 12 months probation.

Stream Restoration
Stream restoration is the re-establishment of the general structure, function and self-sustaining behavior of the stream system that existed prior to disturbance. It is a holistic process that requires an understanding of all physical and biological components of the stream system and its watershed. Restoration includes a broad range of measures, including the removal of the watershed disturbances that are causing stream instability; installation of structures and planting of vegetation to protect streambanks and provide habitat; and the reshaping or replacement of unstable stream reaches into appropriately designed functional streams and associated floodplains.
The techniques and methodologies are evolving rapidly. New design aids are being developed that will improve design efficiency and confidence. We encourage stream restoration professionals to carefully document their experiences - including project successes and failures - so that the restoration community can better understand the appropriate techniques for various conditions.

SGS2 60K test 1, 58.5K test 2 browser tests are garbage though because of how limited the resources are in the browser... now if you could run quadrant on a 4S, now that would be interesting
The homie Tex just racked up 56,440 with only median signal. 3 bars. ....on his Galaxy S II
Yeah. It appears that these particular allegations proved unfounded; but from the thread anyway, it's not altogether certain that the benchmark itself wasn't skewed towards WebKit. Even this theory could be wrong. It's possible the benchmark is a fair and reasonable measure of real performance, but I'd prefer to be called stupid and drivelous, than deny that adverse reports exist.
Ha iPhone 4 is faster than the Galaxy S2, I knew the Galaxy S2 was a P.O.S as Samsung can not make software to go with their hardware whatsoever.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 they tested was on 2.3.1. Mine is on 2.3.4 and my score is 61281 far better than the Iphone 4 on iOS5.
Wow, I'm impressed by the increase in iOS5 for the iPhone 4.
Apple, iPhone and iPad News | ModMyi - iPhone 4S Processor is Throttled
Just scored a 66357 on my galaxy s2.... running a ton of other stuff while doing this... I will have to run on the 4s later.
people who are putting down the s2 need to get a grip. How about testing in person before spewing nonsense. Both are great phones. galaxy s2 is better IMO.
sgs2 screen is better for movies/pictues. It takes better pictures. ip4s is faster to take photos, but not as fast as apple would like you to believe.
iMessages is neat, but I dont really see why its so great.
regular everyday stuff you do on the phone is identical. Both phones open webpages and browse at the same speed. opening and switching apps is very close in speed. I am very new to android, but I think with some tweaking, the right rom, and possible OC this thing could blow the 4s out of the water. One thing I have noticed that is glaring, is the fact that when connected to the same wifi network, the sgs2 gets 1mbps faster download and 2-3mbps upload faster than the ip4s EVERY TIME. I dont know what this is, but I haven't tested both on att at the same time since I only have 1 sim.
the only thing that the 4s wins at is voice recognition. While the s2 isn't bad, it just doesn't have the abilities siri does. I have to say that while I enjoyed playing with siri I still dont see myself using it on a regular basis. Maybe when driving, but for the most part if I am texting someone or searching something I would prefer not to announce what that is to the entire world around me.
I can't believe so many around here hate on android. Most of the stuff that JB accomplishes or allows is stuff that is built right into android. And a lot of these features have now finally made their way into ios5.
I think if you haven't used both you really have no reason to comment.
thats the defender iphone 4 case. had to mess with it a bit to get it to work with the new mute switch placement. button isn't really useable in case.

Drivers seem to be getting into the swing of coping with mid-Michigan's snowy roads. Dispatchers in Ingham, Jackson, Eaton and Clinton counties report no major accidents during this morning's commute. Dispatchers tell News 10 that there have been some slide-offs, but not many. Roads moved a bit slower than normal. The most siginficant report was of a semi-tractor trailer that slid off to the side of the road along I-94 near US-127 shortly after 5AM. The highway there was reduced to one lane. Drivers are still urged to use caution. There are plenty of snowy and icy sections. Road maintenance departments ask drivers to be careful around their plows.

whats the difference from your amd vs ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run
I have read of users complained that not compiled the vbox modules in the new kernel. I had the same problem installing ati catalyst for hashcat xD.
I do not know if it affects all bt r2 or just those who should upgraded from r1 to r2, I should not had time for more tests.
If you been having problems to build things that require headers, here is the solution, tested in a physical amd64 and a 32-bit vm
First we need the tools, not all are necessary, but if I personally recommend: (some tools are in bt defaults)
You have to make sure the kernel source is in /usr/src, but you should download it from the repositoryCode:apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dh-make libstdc++6 gcc-4.4-base dkms module-assistant linux-headers linux-headers-3.2.6 xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core file-roller
Now do the symlinks and prepare to compile kernel-sourcesCode:ls /usr/src | grep linux-source-3.2.6.tar.bz2
32bits:Code:rm /usr/src/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6 /usr/src/linux rm /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include/asm ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/arch/ia64/include/asm /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include/asm ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6 /lib/modules/3.2.6/build
Now we can compile things like wifi drivers, vbox, etc. This also would serve us for the guest additions in a bt vmCode:rm /usr/src/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6 /usr/src/linux rm /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include/asm ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/arch/x86/include/asm /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include/asm ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6 /lib/modules/3.2.6/build ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu
To virtualbox, you must ensure that the vbox symlink in /usr/src/, if it is not, Create symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.1XXX/source/ to usr/src/vboxhost-4.1XXXX, depending on your vbox version.
For the fglrx ( 8.961 ) I use the amdcatalyst, is downloaded from their website and just run with an error such as: a problem has occurred, find the solution as you can xDD) in the log you can see the problem, the headers!Code:/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Code:repare-kernel-sources cd /usr/src/linux cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/follow the steps or make in /usr/src/glrx-8.961/Code:chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
The current version of catalyst has no problem, and previous to this it should work fine
You can check which video driver you are using with the command
If you have any issue with xserver since you have catalyst, you can do:Code:cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Enjoy and hashcat it!!!Code:mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old aticonfig --initial -f reboot

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Jarv, Jan 6, 2013.
Root for our hated rivals? That's crazy, never!
Lol! Fine then, be like that, I'll come back later to see what you'll send the Niners after we win.
No. Those things are not related. Back then we had Jimmy Johnson building this team with a bonanza of picks from the Herschel Walker trade. I'll probably just watch this game without rooting for either team because I hate the Seachickens. As a Cowboy fan since the 70s, the one and ONLY time you ever root for the Redskins is if a Skins win helps the Cowboys get into the playoffs.
Skins could be playing SF or GB in NFC title game, and I would pull for the other team.
Skins could be playing Pittsburg in the SB, and I'd give up football entirely before ever rooting for the Skins.
Must be the new generation of fans because I'd pull for a team comprised of rapists and murderers before I'd want to see the freakin' Skins win anything...PERIOD !
I'm hoping 60
enough With The Insults And Name Calling Please
Some of the fans on here are showing why many see this fan base as a joke. Eagles fan has never seen their team win a Super Bowl...ever...but yet they don't cheer for the Cowboys hoping it will make the Eagles somehow be more successful.
And many Redskins fans respect Aikman but hated him on the field. I'm sure they never once thought about cheering for the Cowboys because he was a great player.
Some of you need to take a step back and ask yourself if this is the team you really want to root for. There are 31 other teams you can follow. Passion is the name of the game when it comes to being a fan and if you don't have any when it comes the Cowboys then move on.
And this is coming from a fan who never saw the Cowboys in a Super Bowl.
This is obvious trolling.
There is a Redskins board you can join. They will welcome you with open arms I'm sure.
Are you for real?? This isn't the only team forum on the intranet?
Wow. Rooting for the skins? :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:
Man, between the mods and "fans" rooting for the redskins, this board has become a joke. I guess I'm out of here! Gonna look for another board where REAL cowboys fans post. Peace
very obvious
Eliminating this embarrassing thread on a Cowboys board would seem proper to me. This is really ridiculous. I'll repeat, THIS IS A DALLAS COWBOYS BOARD this seems to be forgotten at times. Smh!!! Geez!!!.
Aww you won't make it to 120 posts in 8 years
I can't believe its allowed. You're right, its become a COMPLETE JOKE. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
It's what 17 years of a long running joke will do to people

Under California law, a grandparent can ask the court for reasonable visitation with a grandchild. To give a grandparent reasonable visitation with a grandchild, the court has to:
In general, grandparents cannot file for visitation rights while the grandchild's parents are married. But there are exceptions, like:
If a grandparent has visitation through the courts, and things change and none of these exceptions apply any more, one or both parents can ask the court to end the grandparent's visitation and the court must then end the grandparent's visitation rights at that time.
Read California Family Code sections 3100-3105 to read the law about a grandparent's rights to visitation. This code section also details other situations the court must consider before giving visitation to a grandparent. Make sure you read it carefully and get legal advice from a lawyer if you think they may apply to your case.
Keep in mind that, if possible, it may be best for you and your family to try to resolve these issues out of court. Consider mediation between you and your grandchildren's parents as a way to openly and safely discuss your needs and concerns to try to reach an agreement that is in the best interests of your grandchildren and that preserves your relationship with them as well as with their parents. Read our section on Resolving Your Dispute Out of Court to learn more about mediation and get some resources to find mediators in your community that can help you. It is possible that if you go to court, you will also have to meet with a mediator from Family Court Services. Click to learn more about Family Court Services mediation.
If you are a grandparent and you are raising your grandchildren either because the parents are absent or are unable to care for their children (like if they are on drugs, or in jail), read our section on Guardianship. When a non-parent wants custody of a child (and not just visitation rights to see the child) it is called guardianship, and there is a separate court process for guardianships.
Under the law, a grandparent who wants to ask the court to order visitation with a grandchild can file a petition in court. It is difficult to figure out exactly how to file this petition. There may already be a family law case filed between the child's parents (like a divorce, a parentage case, a child support case, or a domestic violence restraining order) and a grandparent may be able to ask for visitation under one of those existing cases. Or, there may be no open case, and you, as the grandparent, may have to file a petition in court starting a case from scratch.
There are currently no official court forms specifically for this purpose, but several courts have developed local forms and templates you can use to ask for visitation with your grandchild. Ask your court's self-help center or family law facilitator if they have samples, templates or local forms you can use. You can also hire your own private lawyer to help you with your petition or with parts of your case (called "limited-scope representation"). Click for help finding a lawyer. Click for more information on limited-scope representation.
In general, a grandparent who wants to ask for visitation with a grandchild must:
See Going to Court to read more information about how to prepare for your court hearing.
Once the judge makes a decision at the court hearing, the judge will sign a court order. In some courtrooms, the clerk or court staff will prepare this order for the judge's signature. In other courtrooms, it is the responsibility of the person who asked for the hearing to prepare the court order for the judge to sign. If either side has a lawyer, the lawyer will usually be asked to prepare the order.
If you have to prepare this order, you will need to fill out the Findings and Order After Hearing (Form FL-340), and an attachment detailing the orders that the judge made.
Remember, the family law facilitator or self-help center may be able to help you with these forms. So ask for help or have the family law facilitator or self-help center review the forms to make sure you did not make any mistakes.
If you want to ask for grandparent visitation rights, your court's family law facilitator or self-help center may be able to help you, or at least refer you to someone in your area who can help you. There are also a lot of other resources with information that can help you understand your rights and decide what is best in your case. And you can look for a lawyer for advice.

Apparently their big bug is that the flag was used as a symbol of white supremacy - particularly by the Ku Klux Klan. But the Klan also used the Bible as the same symbol. They used the cross for the same also. They also used the American flag. They also used bed sheets. So why don't they regard the Bible the ssame way? Or the cross? Or the "Just the facts, ma'am."

And emancipation of the slaves was a sin. The slaves drifted into peonage with no agency among southern whites whatsoever. Really, Shelby?>> For what it is worth, I attended a Lee-Jackson Day ceremony on Saturday hosted by a local Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp. I have gotten to know the commander of the Camp well, and he has participated with me in a local CW presentation. This past July, this SCV Camp was invited to take part in our town July 4 parade. The Camp agreed, but later withdrew when they were informed by the parade officials that they could not display the Confederate flag. On Saturday, I discussed this incident with the Camp commander, and asked him whether he and other SCV Camps had considered displaying the Confederate national flag, rather than the battleflag, at public events -- which would be much less controversial. The commander's response was immediate and adamant that he would not compromise his standards about displaying the battleflag in honor of the heritage of those who fought under its banner. Once he got onto this subject, frankly it was difficult to divert him to something more amenable and less controversial. It is difficult to find a reasonable solution or compromise on this issue. Our CWRT displays both the American and Confederate flags at our meetings. At a public ceremony in our town hall last April in commemoration of the beginning of the CW, both flags were on display. However, officials remain reluctant to have the battleflag on display in outdoor events, for fear of a backlash. Not sure what the answer to this problem is, but it certainly does exist.
