Multnomah University is adding a new scholarship named after Distinguished Professor Emeritus David Needham, who taught at MU for 44 years. The David C. Needham Scholarship is being made possible by a generous donation from two Multnomah alumni — a married couple who wish to remain anonymous.
A heart for missions
The couple, who met at Multnomah in the 1960s, was struck by Needham's humble style of teaching and tender heart for students. They have a deep appreciation for the friendship they've cultured with Needham and his wife Mary Jo for the past 45 years. By providing a scholarship under Needham's name, they hope to celebrate their former teacher while blessing current students who feel called to missionary work.
"We are pleased to be giving this scholarship to students who have a heart for missions, particularly unreached peoples and East Africa," they said.
After serving as missionaries in the Mexicali Valley for 15 years, the couple began developing ministries in Tanzania and East Africa — an adventure they have been committed to for the past 20 years.
Transforming forces in the world
Needham was thrilled to receive the news of the scholarship. "I was happily amazed when I heard about it," he said. "This scholarship is helping MU fulfill its mission — equipping students to become transforming forces in the world."
The price of a college education is high, Needham added, but he thinks the new scholarship will be a big encouragement to students who want to serve.
"I hope that Multnomah will accomplish its goal of teaching them to live the Christian life and share it with others," he said. "I hope that they will have the proficiency to share the Gospel with people around the world, and I hope that this scholarship will continue to grow year by year."
A gift from David Needham
Since Needham's retirement from Multnomah in 2008, he has kept busy teaching adult classes at his church and writing. He has published four books, including "Close To His Majesty," which he is offering to the Multnomah community for free.
In lieu of payment, we invite you to consider giving a gift to a student through the David C. Needham Scholarship. Visit our donation page to contribute any amount you choose.

Topic: Karaoke idol contest
Hi all,
Just a note to let you know I'm in the finals at a local karaoke contest!! The finals are tonight... Top 14 advanced. Top 6 move on to second round... First prize is $1000, second prize is $500 and third place gets $250!!! I'm not egotistical enough to even make plans for the $1000, but I sure would enjoy an extra $250!!!!!
I'm singing Proud Mary (the Ike and Tina version) and Welcome to the Jungle (Guns n Roses). I'm really a country girl, but I'm singing what the judges want to hear.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

text: John Key is the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Four years ago, David Beckham traveled to New Zealand with the LA Galaxy to play a match and met the Prime Minister. Recently, the Prime Minister told someone that David Beckham is "thick as bat s**t." I don't know if anyone has ever really thought of David as a Nobel prize winner, but thick as bat s**t seems a bit much. When the Key was asked about it and given the opportunity to backtrack or clarify his remarks, he stood by them, and only said that someone overheard a private conversation he was having with someone, but did not take back anything he said. That is unusual for a politician. usually they don't want to take a chance and make anyone upset for fear of never getting their vote. A reporter even asked Key point blank by asking, "Can I clarify that you did not call David Beckham thick?" Key replied, "No."

Ever find yourself going through some incredibly difficult trial and you literally had no idea where to turn or where your next move was going to be? Panic may even set in as you contemplate the severe threat to your own well-being or that of your family's welfare. Be encouraged that God's Word can give you the guidance you need in the face of overwhelming circumstances that seem to spell your ruin.
In this message Evangelist Ron DeGarde shares Red Sea Rules from Exodus 14 that offer practical guidance borne from his own personal "Red Sea" experiences as God taught him wonderful, life-changing lessons. Six important rules will motivate you to move from panic to praise.

Sulfur mustard, also known as mustard gas or mustard agent, is a chemical warfare agent and was used as such in World Wars I and II. It was reportedly used in the Iran-Iraq war in 1980-1988. It is not presently used in the United States, except for research purposes and the U.S. Department of Defense must destroy all remaining stocks of sulfur mustard. Sulfur mustard sometimes smells like garlic, onions, or mustard and sometimes has no odor. It can be a vapor (the gaseous form of a liquid), an oily-textured liquid, or a solid. Sulfur mustard can be clear to yellow or brown when it is in liquid or solid.
Sulfur mustard is not found naturally in the environment. Sulfur mustard would only be found in the environment if there were an accidental release from military storage facilities.
Since sulfur mustard is no longer made in the United States and is only found at a few military storage sites, the general public is not exposed to sulfur mustard. Individuals working at or living near these military storage sites would only be exposed to sulfur mustard if there was an accidental spill or unplanned release.
Sulfur mustard can cause skin burns and blisters, especially around sweaty parts of the body. It is more harmful to the skin on hot, humid days, or in a tropical climate. Sulfur mustard makes your eyes burn, your eyelids swell, and causes you to blink a lot. Breathing sulfur mustard can cause coughing, bronchitis, and long-term respiratory disease. Exposure to a large amount of sulfur mustard can cause death.
Sulfur mustard or its breakdown products can be detected in your blood and urine within a few weeks after your last exposure. These tests are not usually available at your doctor's office, but your doctor can send the samples to a laboratory that can perform the tests.

Bill Miller | September 14, 2007
By Bill Miller • Friday, September 14, 2007 - 13:30
The article in the Vancouver Province, written by Jay Ambrose of Scripps Howard News Service, refers to a 400-page United Nations report saying the world's 1.5 billion cattle and other livestock account for 18 per cent of greenhouse-gas emissions.
Ambrose then goes on to berate former Vice-President Al Gore for his "meat-aided chubbiness," and assert that reducing livestock emissions could ruin farmers and cause food shortages. "And the consequent cutback in greenhouse gases would still fall far short of what Gore-ilk worriers say is required to save the Earth from eventual devastation."
The day before Ambrose's missive appeared, an article in The Lancet medical journal said reducing global red-meat consumption by only 10 per cent would reduce animal gases that contribute to global warming. With world demand increasing, however, experts fear more methane and nitrous oxide heating up the planet.
Two months earlier, a Japanese study found producing 2.2 pounds of beef generates more carbon dioxide than an average car does every 160 miles. And producing those 2.2 pounds consumed nearly 170 megajoules of energy, mostly for raising and transporting feed – the same energy a 100-watt light bulb would consume if left on for 20 days.
Ambrose made no mention of either study, nor did he give details of the UN report. So either he's not doing sufficient research or he's ignoring his findings. Maybe both.

Interesting comparison.
It is interesting to read the amount of carbon dioxide generated in producing 1 kg of beef versus driving a car for 160 miles.
I was also surprised to learn that producing the same amount of beef requires the same amount of energy to run a 100 watt lightbulb for 20 days.
However, it then occured to me that I can't eat a car, any more than I can drive a slab of roast beef 160 miles. And although someone may argue that lightbulbs have no cholesterol, they may be a little hard on the digestion.
Maybe the significance of these bizarre non sequitur comparisons is lost on me because, as Ian Forrester would (and likely will) say: I obviously don't understand science!
It's a simple concept really . . .
… called putting things in perspective
rob replied on Permalink
Hmm, yes, I see your point.
But please excuse me, I have to drive my roast beef to the supermarket and pick up some 100 watt lightbulbs for dinner.
To put it very simply,
To put it very simply, energy is used to do different things, such as raising cattle, lighting light bulbs, and driving cars. Just like money, which you spend to buy beef, to pay for your electricity, and to buy gas to put in your car. And just as we do with money, we need to decide what is the best way to use the energy we have, since it is a limited resource. We have to stop wasting it.

Thanks for patiently explaining that, VJ. Luckily, as a reward for turning in a counter-revolutionary thought-criminal to the state security police, the Central Planning Committee has granted me extra ration cards for meat and electricity. So, hurray! I can have both!

LGobal warming and shitty beef
To put it rather plainly meat is fucking destroying the enviroment. No matter what way you put it. The Beef industry is responsible for 18% of green house gasses resulting in global warming. Cars only cause roughly 14%.
When you put things into perspective changing to a smartcar might help the enviroment but going vegan woulb be an even more massive change. You also get better health benefits and guess what? You even get lower rates for health insurance because your less likely to get cancer or heart desease because you aren't clogging your arteries with steroids animal priones and shit.
You save money. Meat costs a hell of alot more than veggies.
Ms Kiks replied on Permalink
global warming
Did any of you know that in addition to saving at least 96 animal lives per year, being vegetarian cuts down on greenhouse gases than driving a smart car? If everyone in the world veg*n then greenhouse gas emissions would be leveled to almost nothing.

Catholic church promotes movie that ridicules facism and the medival church12/20/07
By constantly dispatching press releases, the Vatican is unwittingly promoting the Golden Compass. The series of books upon which the movie is based has a large institution called the Magisterium, which is both a facist government and controlling church. While the movie was written to remove the church part, the Vatican fears it will encourage people, like myself, to go and read the books. Interestingly enough, the Magisterium doesn't really resemble the Vatican of today, in either the movie OR the books. It resembles a facist government that infringes on civil liberties and a church that resembles Catholicism from 500 years ago.

'When it comes to playing goalie, Miller's philosophy is that it's his job to give his team the best possible chance to win. He'd come unglued if he started worrying about whether he was responsible for a win or loss. "Winning is definitely a team effort," he said when I spoke to him before the Olympics. "A goalie can steal a game–a lot of people talk about that. Some nights the other team's goalie might be playing well, but as long as I give my team a chance, I can feel good about my performance."'

Surat Az Zumar, verse 61
God will give security those who had fear of God in their victorious safe haven. No evil will touch them and they will know no sorrow.
That is a miraculous verse. "...those who had fear of God" meaning those who are very sincere, those who genuinely believe in and completely abide by the Qur'an. "God will give security to those in their victorious safe haven." God says that He will surely give them victory in this world, and the result of that victory is salvation. And see that there is another very important miracle; "No evil will touch them," says God. They will be saved from all evil. God protects them specifically from evils. "And they will know no sorrow." That is a characteristic of Muslims, Muslims know no sorrow. Sorrow does not touch them.
Surat Az-Zumar, verse 62
God is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over everything.
"God is the Creator of everything." Creator of what? Creator of the good and the bad; the Creator of everything. "He is the Guardian over everything." For instance, some people step up and say; "America is a rogue state" That is not the case, my brother. Look at what God says? "He is the Guardian over everything." He is the Creator of everything. He is the Creator of all the incidents in Syria as well; God is the Creator of everything.
Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 63
The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him. It is those who reject God's Signs who are the losers.
"The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him." All the secrets that are kept secret; all the secrets that are not opened, all the secrets that are kept secret in the Earth, everything and everywhere. "All the keys belong to Me," says God. "It is those who reject God's Signs who are the losers." They will definitely be losers. For instance, the PKK; they will certainly be defeated. That is because they have no other way according to the command of the verse. So the unbelievers are definitely defeated. Pay attention to the world, unbelievers have never become victorious and remained as that. Unbelievers certainly end up being defeated.
Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 64
Say: 'Do you order me to worship something other than God, you ignorant people?'
God refers to them as "...you ignorant people." So what is the main characteristic of radicals? Their ignorance. "Do you order me to worship something other than God?" So God says is there any other one to pass judgment? And some people say, yes there are others to pass judgment. God says, "You are ignorant." That is the main characteristic of radicals. Another one to pass judgment; they are attempting to change the commands of God with made-up accounts.
Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 65
"It has been revealed to you and those before you: 'If you associate others with God, your actions will come to nothing and you will be among the losers'."
"It has been revealed to you and those before you:" It has been revealed to our Prophet (saas) and those before him, and this also binds those who will come after him; this also refers to our age. "If you associate others with God." What does this mean? If you change the commands of God. "...your actions will come to nothing" perform your prayers as much as you want, fast as much as you like, all will come to nothing, says God. "..and you will be among the losers." They are the losers all around the world. If you associate others with God, the end is defeat.
Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 66
"No! Worship (only) God and be among the thankful."
"No! Worship (only) God.." Meaning only abide by the Qur'an. " ...and be among the thankful." Alhamdulillah, one should constantly be thankful. Praising God and thanking God is very much forgotten most of the time. One needs to thank God all the time. Alhamdulillah.
Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 67
"They do not measure God with His true measure. The whole Earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising, the heavens folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they ascribe!"
"They do not measure God with his true measure," that is the Greatness and Power of God. For instance, they assume that US has a separate power, they assume that Russia has an individual power. In fact all power belongs to God. God is the One Who rules over the atom and the electron. God is the One Who rules over infinity. " The whole Earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising.." You see the world as huge, yet see how God abases the Earth in the eyes of man. The whole Earth is a mere handful for Him. That means it is nothing for God. "The heavens folded up in His right hand." "In His right hand" God says this to stress on the Power and Greatness of God. The right hand means the power, the Power of God. "He is exalted above the partners they ascribe!" They come up with new scholars, new commands and God says none of them are acceptable. Only the Qur'an is acceptable.2013-08-06 05:41:45

Author Elizabeth Gilbert talks about how creativity and serious mental illness tend to go hand-in-hand, and explains the main reason she thinks this is: Because we consider artists to "geniuses" (in the sense of people) rather than merely receiving genius from nature, the divine, etc., the way that the Greeks and Romans (and I'd add: Indians also) used to, with the idea of muses, daemons, etc..
I've had this view for a long while given my own experience with writing music. That is, I've noticed it is not possible to consciously write music. The only way music or any art can be created is with a kind of unseen inspiration that cannot be taught, captured, or explained.
This, by the way, is also a large basis for my anti-copyright views. You can't say an artist is "creating" anything, with tools, but rather, nature itself is creating and the artist themselves is merely a tool.

LONG BEACH — For years, Long Beach's congressional seat has been firmly controlled by Rep. Laura Richardson.
Now, Richardson, a three-term Democrat facing a House ethics investigation, has moved to San Pedro to run against fellow Democratic Rep. Janice Hahn in the new 44th Congressional District that stretches from the Port of Los Angeles to South Gate.
Though eight candidates have stepped forward to fill the void left by Richardson ceding her hometown district - the newly-drawn 47th - political observers consider only three of them as most likely to advance through the June primary where the top two finishers, regardless of party, will advance to the November election.
The district encompasses most of Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill and parts of cities in West Orange County.
Democrats outnumber Republicans 151,865 registered voters to 111,450 voters in the district, which has a total of 357,970 voters, according to April 6 figures reported by the Secretary of State's Office.
The disparity has one of the presumed front-runners, state Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, favored to win through to the second round, with one of two Republicans, Long Beach City Councilman Gary DeLong and former South Bay Congressman Steve Kuykendall, filling the other general election slot.
"If you're betting, it's going to be DeLong," said Allan Hoffenblum, a former Republican strategist who co-edits the nonpartisan elections guide the California Target Book.
Hoffenblum based his assertion on DeLong's fundraising prowess - he has raised $569,051 in the election cycle to outstrip the field, compared with $103,943 for Kuykendall and $377,409 for Lowenthal.
DeLong also has a weighty list of endorsers that includes former Gov. George Deukmejian, several current members of Congress, members of the Legislature, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, county supervisors in Orange County, dozens of elected officials in surrounding cities and the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
"I think the only question is if Kuykendall's name identification is enough to overtake DeLong," Hoffenblum said.
On that topic, Kuykendall, 65, agrees that he will have to tap into his name recognition to contend with DeLong's war chest.
He points out that he has run in six elections in Long Beach dating back to his state Assembly days, losing only once, a 2004 Assembly contest against Democrat Betty Karnette.
Kuykendall, a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, represented the South Bay in Congress from 1999-2001, a time when relations between parties at the U.S. Capitol were more genial than the hyperpartisan environment of today.
It's something he has observed with some dismay.
"Our whole system of government was not designed to work with black-and-white answers," said Kuykendall. "It's made to give you consensus building."
After an eight-year absence, Kuykendall said he has thrown his hat back into the political ring to help get the economy "clicking" again.
"We have to back off these darn regulations, we have to quit dreaming about new taxation for the time being," he said.
It's a boilerplate Republican philosophy that DeLong, 52, also gets behind.
The owner of a telecommunications consulting firm, DeLong was first elected to Long Beach City Council in 2006. He is now in his second term.
Though he does push some aspects of supply-side economics, DeLong notably advocates closing corporate tax loopholes and spreads blame for recent budget troubles.
"The federal government has doubled in cost in 10 years, it's increased 100 percent," DeLong said. "The important thing to note is that it's both Republican and Democrat administrations."
DeLong, whose campaign efforts have caught the attention of the National Republican Congressional Committee, is undaunted by the 11 percent Democratic registration advantage in the district.
His campaign has run models showing that the registration spread among likely voters is between 0.5 and 4 percent, and with 41 percent of voters in Orange County, DeLong thinks his fiscally conservative and socially moderate views - he is pro-choice and supports gay marriages - will resonate enough to bridge the gap.
He also counts on what he terms "Lowenthal fatigue" among Democrats.
"I have more in common with a moderate Democrat than a liberal Democrat does," said DeLong.
"Liberal" is not a label that Lowenthal, 71, would deny.
He is running on a platform of job creation, environmental protection and promoting education.
Through terms in the state Senate, state Assembly and Long Beach City Council, Lowenthal has long held to the belief that the environment can be protected while business thrives.
When he joined the Assembly, he pushed legislation, eventually signed into law, to cover petroleum coke piles at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to protect nearby residents. He has also passed bills to cut pollution at the ports while providing money to invest in green technology jobs.
"When I first started, they told me I couldn't do it," Lowenthal said. "Some bills got passed, some didn't. Over the years, people stopped fighting me."
Lowenthal, who was a community psychologist and professor at Cal State Long Beach prior to entering politics, said he has governed in a spirit of consensus and coalition building, citing his work with Republicans to help create a public- private partnership that made possible the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach. The $395 million courthouse is on schedule for completion in 2013.
Lowenthal said he is running for Congress because he views the present as the most critical time in the nation's history.
"We have to decide whether we're still going to keep that social commitment to Social Security, to Medicare, to people who have worked their whole lives," said Lowenthal. "All of that's being challenged."
He dismisses accusations that he has relied too much on his status as the Democratic Party banner carrier - particularly in supporting the controversial move to eliminate redevelopment agencies statewide - and that he has run a campaign from afar.
"I can't just walk out of the Legislature," said Lowenthal. "My opponents know I'm the front-runner and they are attacking me."
Grass-roots candidates
With three candidates grossly outstripping them in fundraising, mailings and headlines, the remaining five contenders are left making their case door-to-door and in a handful of debates.
Debates are something in which Democrat Peter Mathews, 60, is well versed.
A Cypress College professor for 26 years, Mathews has made several runs at state and national office.
He came closest to victory in 1998, when he was Rep. Steve Horn's general election opponent and lost 44 percent to 53percent.
Mathews, a Long Beach resident, characterizes himself as a modern FDR Democrat, supporting social programs and workers' rights.
He supports raising taxes on incomes above $1 million to invest in infrastructure and pay down the debt. He also proposes reducing the corporate tax rate to 14 percent and attracting foreign investment.
"My first priority is to get our people high-paying, quality jobs by having an educated workforce," Mathews said.
Another candidate and Long Beach resident, 68-year-old Sanford Kahn, is distinguished by being more conservative than DeLong and Kuykendall.
Kahn, a mechanical engineer by training who is now a business author and speaker, pushes a flat tax of 15 to 17percent with a large standard deduction and school choice vouchers.
"What I'm really proposing is to expand the set of choices for individuals and not constrain them," Kahn said.
Democrat Jay Shah, 75, has said he would raise taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year and eliminate government waste to tackle deficits.
A medical doctor, Shah wants to improve access to health care and spoke in favor of a single-payer health care system at a debate. Lowenthal and Mathews also supported a single-payer system; Kuykendall, DeLong and Kahn opposed it.
Shah's wife, Usha Shah, 72, is also running as a Democrat. She has advocated for women's rights on the campaign trail.
Republican Steve Foley, 39, of Orange County, has not appeared at debates. In public statements, he has presented himself as a conservative alternative to Kuykendall and DeLong.
On his website, Foley has embraced the "9-9-9" plan of former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. The tax reform proposal would replace the current tax code with a 9 percent flat tax on household income, a 9 percent corporate tax and a 9 percent federal sales tax.
As voters prepare to navigate the well-stocked slate, Hoffenblum said the vote spread in June may be an early indicator of whether the race will be competitive in the fall.
Assuming Lowenthal makes it to the November ballot, if the combined Republican vote tallies above 45 percent, the GOP may have enough moxie to take on Democrats, according to Hoffenblum.
"If not," Hoffenblum said, "it will be hard for anyone to get the money to defeat Lowenthal."

WATCH: Ryan Lewis asks fans if they know who he is on Fallon
Listen to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on iHeartRadio
While everyone knows who Macklemore is, the other half of the group, Ryan Lewis, seems much less familiar — and that became apparent in a funny bit the DJ did on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
Lewis hit the streets of New York, asking fans of the duo if they knew who Lewis was and what he does.
No one did.
Lewis even showed them photos of himself… with Macklemore.
It's pretty hilarious.

GSA Project Spotlighted at World Sustainable Building Conference
Courthouse — A Model of Sustainability
October 5, 2005
Contact: MaryAnne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C.— The Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse located in Denver, Colorado, was recently highlighted at the 2005 World Sustainable Building Conference in Tokyo, Japan. The courthouse, built by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), was the only submission by the 2005 U.S. Team for the Green Building Challenge, an international effort to evaluate and improve the performance of buildings worldwide. Members of the US Team include some of the top experts in the country in sustainable design. Started in 1996, the Green Building Challenge, collaboration among 12 participating countries, was established to develop approaches for measuring the environmental performance of buildings taking into account regional and national conditions.
"GSA was honored to have one of its buildings recognized by the international build-green community," said Don Horn, GSA's Director of Sustainable Design. "The Arraj Courthouse showcases the agency's commitment to incorporating principles of sustainable design and energy efficiency into all of its building projects."
The U.S. Team's presentation included results from the Green Building Assessment Tool, an international evaluation tool, and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) green building rating system, the predominant rating system used in the United States. Some of the design features included extensive use of daylight, low-emitting materials, wood from sustainably managed forests, high-performance glazing, and evaporative cooling. GSA is anticipating receiving a Silver LEED® rating for the courthouse for its sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, selection of materials, and indoor environmental quality.
Completed in 2002, the Arraj Courthouse, designed by HOK and Anderson Mason Dale Architects, was built to house the US District Court for the District of Colorado. The 320,000 square foot facility includes a 10-story tower with 14 courtrooms and a two-story pavilion.
GSA's Public Buildings Service is the landlord for the civilian Federal Government with the mission of providing a superior workplace for the Federal worker and superior value to the American taxpayer. To find out more about GSA's sustainable design program, visit www.gsa.gov/sustainabledesign.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Can Magnesium Help Morning Sickness?
Hi ladies,
I haven't been able to find anymore (factual) information on this so thought I'd ask. I saw an article mentioning that women who are low in magnesium are the only ones who get morning sickness. This article also suggested that taking magnesium supplements three months before falling pregnant would stop women getting morning sickness.
Just wondering if anyone else has heard of this? I had severe morning sickness with both previous pregnancies (threw up 16 times in one day with my first!) Wondering if this is worth trying and if so, what type of supplement would be the best?
8th April 2014 12:32 AM #2
Dear Susannah,
I'm sorry to hear that you suffered from such bad morning sickness in your pregnancies - that must have been extremely difficult.
A magnesium deficiency is thought to make morning sickness more likely (although this is not always the case with women who have morning sickness). You can naturally increase your magnesium intake as part of your preconception care. Foods naturally high in magnesium include: dark leafy greens (including spinach and kale), nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, whole grain foods and bananas. Only good can come out of making sure you have plenty of these in your diet. As an example, one cup of cooked lentils and one cup of cooked spinach would be equivalent to a 300mg supplement of magnesium. Therefore, you can easily increase your magnesium in your diet naturally rather than taking supplements.
A number of medical studies (including in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) have found, as you say above, that magnesium levels are lower in women who suffer from more severe morning sickness. I hope increasing your own magnesium levels will help you in your next pregnancy.
Warm wishes,

Blue Grass Fish & Wildlife Area is a unique natural resource area because all of the land has been stripmined. Blue Grass covers approximately 2,532 acres and features about 28 pits and lakes (600 acres of water). Blue Grass is dedicated to providing and maintaining quality hunting, fishing and wildlife watching opportunities.
The area is named after Blue Grass Creek, which lies just east of the property. Amax Coal Company began mining operations in October 1973, and ceased operations in 1993.

Most revenues used in land acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of Blue Grass Fish and Wildlife Area are derived from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Funds are also received from the federal Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson programs to aid fish and wildlife restoration. These funds are derived from taxes levied on sport hunting and fishing equipment. Indiana hunters and fishermen are proud to provide this property for the enjoyment of all people.

Firefighting units from across Carbon County responded Tuesday morning to an explosion and fire at a natural gas compressor station that injured two workers, county officials reported.
A gas line at the Dry Canyon Compressor Station, operated by the Bill Barrett Corp., based in Denver, ruptured at about 8:50 a.m.
The compressor station is located in Nine Mile Canyon, about 20 miles east of Price.
Two Bill Barrett employees who were at the facilty each suffered critical injuries due to burns, according to a posting on Carbon County's Facebook page .
A man in his early sixties was transported by an AirMed Helicopter from the scene to the University of Utah Burn Center for treatment.
The second victim, a man in his late twenties, was transported by someone in a Bill Barrett truck to the Uintah Medical Center, in Roosevelt, but they were met by an ambulance while enroute. That victim was later transported by Life Flight helicopter to the burn center.
Jim Felton, communications manager for Bill Barrett Corp., reported that as of 1 p.m., the fire was contained, but several buildings on site had been consumed.
Felton said "gas wells feeding into the facility have been shut in, all personnel have been accounted for and the location has been secured."
A cause for the explosion had not been determined.
Felton said there had been no reports of any environmental spills or releases.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA -In a game that came right down to the wire, the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team had a chance to tie or even take the lead in the final seconds but was unsuccessful, falling to neighborhood rival Drexel, 61-59, Saturday evening at The Palestra.
The Quakers had made up almost all of a seven-point deficit with less than a minute to go, and had the ball down 61-59 with just about 20 seconds to play. Miles Cartwright got the ball near midcourt, and as the clock wound down he drove into the lane. However, he was unable to keep control of the ball and it wound up in a scrum in the lane, eventually turning into a jump ball with 1.3 seconds left. Drexel had the possession arrow, and though Frantz Massenat missed both of his free throws, there was only 0.6 seconds at that point and Penn had no chance to get a shot off.
Penn is now 1-3, while Drexel -- the preseason favorite in the Colonial Athletic Association -- improved to 1-2 on the young season.
Cartwright finished the night with 18 points, and served as an excellent outside complement to inside presence Fran Dougherty, who had another superb game with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
Drexel was the first to break the game open, using a 9-1 run midway through the first half to take a 19-12 lead. Penn chipped at that margin with a pair of Dougherty free throws and a layup by freshman guard Tony Hicks, then the Quakers made it a one-point game when Greg Louis hit a jumper in the lane and Hicks followed with a steal and dunk that made the score 21-20, Drexel.
The Dragons again seized control, going up 30-25 with less than two minutes left in the half, but the Quakers scored the last six points -- all of them by Cartwright -- to take a 31-30 halftime lead. (Penn had a chance to go up four at the buzzer, but Jamal Lewis' three-pointer rimmed out.)
Penn's lead ballooned to as many as eight in the second half, at 40-32, and it was still 45-38 with 13 minutes to play. At that point, Drexel went on a 15-4 run that was sparked by freshman guard Tavon Allen. Playing his first collegiate game, the guard scored every which way, knocking down 11 of the 15 Dragon points His layup with 6:31 left put Drexel up, 53-49.
Drexel's lead was 60-53 with less than a minute to go, thanks to Derrick Thomas' free throws, but Lewis quickly hit a layup to make it 60-55, then Penn forced a five-second call. Out of that, Cartwright was fouled and hit both of his free throws, making the score 60-57 with 42.6 seconds left.
Drexel again had trouble on the inbounds, trying to go long with the pass, and it was easily stolen by Dougherty. Penn took an immediate timeout, and spread the floor so that Lewis could get the basket for another layup that made it a one-point game.
Massenat was fouled by Cartwright as he crossed midcourt, but after making the first shot he missed his second. That set the stage for Penn's final, empty possession.
Ruffin and Allen finished with 15 points apiece to lead Drexel, while Chris Fouch scored 10 before going down with an injury. Daryl McCoy was a menace on the boards, with 14 rebounds including seven on the offensive glass.
Penn gets right back at it, playing two more times in the next three days as it completes play in the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Quakers will face Fordham on Monday night at 6 p.m., then Lehigh on Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. Both games will be played at Lehigh's Stabler Arena.
Game Notes: Penn continues to lead the series with Drexel, 15-9, but this was the Dragons' fifth win in a row over the Quakers ... Penn is now 7-6 in games decided by two points or less in the Jerome Allen coaching era ... For the first time this season, Penn led at the half (31-30); the Quakers are now 27-6 in such games under Allen ... Junior forward Fran Dougherty led Penn with 21 points; he has 73 points in the Quakers' last three games (24.3 ppg) ... Dougherty also had 10 rebounds, one shy of a career high, for his second consecutive double-double ... Junior guard Miles Cartwright had 18 points, his third double-figure scoring game this season and the 36th such game of his career ... Junior guard Steve Rennard had a season/career high with three assists ... Freshman guard Jamal Lewis had eight points, a season/career high.

A school of poets had arisen of which camoens was to be the crown.
You are right; but how can you like camoens so much if you do not know Portuguese?
As with camoens, imprisonments and exile contributed to make Manuel de Mello a great writer.
It proved to be camoens, and he told me he was translating the Portuguese poet.
Is it the hero's fault if self and snowdrop-singing poetasters cannot see this feat with the eyes of camoens?
camoens, who was the epic poet of Portugal, was born in Lisbon in 1524.
Later, Burton sent Payne other camoens sonnets to look over.
Portugal has given us camoens, with his great poem the "Luciad."
In 1867 a statue was erected to camoens by the city of Lisbon.
After sixteen years of misfortune abroad, camoens returned to Lisbon in 1569.

Hi mate,
I am having the exact same problem as you, I have been pulling my hair out for the last few hours about this so I am glad to see it is not just me.
Hopefully someone will come along and point us in the right way!
I have a lenovo x200 and have installed BT4 final and I can get everything working except for the wireless card. If I check the hardware that is being picked up it shows that my card is there. When i check the available drivers that are pre-installed the correct driver is there, but when I do a '/etc/init.d./networking start' the card just kinda hangs out and I get a "No DHCPOFFERS received"
Any thoughts on this would be great.
Maybe I am missing something simple but I just installed BT4 on my Lenovo x200 and have gotten everything else working except for the wireless card. If I look at the hardware the card shows up properly, but when I perform a '/etc/init.d/networking start' I get my ethernet connection to work but the wireless hangs and I get an error

Have you established a connection via Menu > Internet > Wicd?
It always comes up saying that there is no connections available, even though I am sitting practically right next to 2 AP's.
Its not the gear as I have 3 computers accessing the AP's at the moment and they are fine, so the problem has to lie with backtrack, somewhere.
You're not getting an IP address via DHCP. That's all your output messages are telling you.
First once you've /etc/init.d/networking start then /etc/init.d/wicd start
Once wicd starts you need to open its GUI. Go to Backtrack > Internet > Wicd
If you have a hidden essid then you must go to the upper left hand corner and click the little arrow next to "Network". Click hidden network and enter your essid. You may need to refresh it a few times aswell.
Also make sure to setup proper settings for your network and you have the option to set it to automatically connect.
Then click connect.
If all this still doesn't work try handing yourself a static IP and see if that resolves your issue. It can also be configured in wicd
Hey guys,
It appears Jeeves has changed what his original error message that was appearing was, although I am still having the issue hopefully someone might be able to help me out, saves me starting a new thread.
This is the error i get when I try to run /etc/init.d/networking start:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:64:**:**:**
Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:64:**:**:**
Sending on Socket/fallback
Now I have a Wifi link 1000 series WIFI card, As far as I can tell it should be in the iwlagn driver set, but when I try and run airmon-ng start wlan0 it comes up with:
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Intel 4965/5xxx iwlagn - [phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Could this be a possible driver/firmware issue?
Take a look at your logs, and any relevant messages in dmesg.
So, I am assuming the you have done
/etc/init.d/networking start
Oh wait yes you have. When I did this I got the same thing. Just hit ctrl-c
You can run iwconfig to verify that wireless drivers are in place.
As trellis mentioned, start wicd, then you can run wicd-client. Nice interface. Lets you select which wireless interface to use (if more than one) configure wep, wpa, wpa2 whatever.
The default setup is no networking started.
iwlagn [Aircrack-ng]
try to install drivers probably solve problems
Code:cd ~ tar xjf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless-2009-* wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch patch -p1 < mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211-2.6.29-fix-tx-ctl-no-ack-retry-count.patch patch -p1 < mac80211-2.6.29-fix-tx-ctl-no-ack-retry-count.patch make -j4 make unload [as root!] make install [as root!] echo options iwlagn swcrypto=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/options [as root!] make load [as root!]

Why we didn't elect Meg governor
You don't realize how hard it is to type when you open your palm and insert your face.
Meg Whitman, who took the reins of Hewlett-Packard after being trounced in the 2010 California gubernatorial election that cost her and her campaign roughly $43 per vote, decided to bring back the HP consumer hardware, which was a good thing. I even ate some crow, with salt, yesterday in manning up to say something nice about Meg for making this decision.
Today I can thank her for something else: Thank you, Meg, for restoring my confidence in your incompetence.
Now Californians who voted against her — yours truly raises hand here — can be smug about not electing her to Sacramento for a typical Meg move.
An article today states that rather than include the already proven WebOS on the HP Touchpad tablet — which is what it came with until former HP CEO Leo Apotheker had what can best be described as the most profound brain fart in human history in dumping HP's consumer technology — Meg wants to run the tablet with, wait for it, Windows 8.
Don't take my word for it. The article by Tom Krazit is here, if you dare.

It's still only a phone
Larry the Free Software Guy — who, when the occasion arises, always leads off his blog in the third person, rather than to just say "I" since that would be too easy — was about to write about another topic this time around. I owe Jeff Hoogland a blog item on Bodhi Linux, which I tried and liked (more in a later item), as well as the original topic of this missive, which was my take on the new and, um, improved desktop environments in Natty Narwhal and Fedora 15 which are getting a lot of play lately. More on this in another blog, too.
But yesterday I got sidetracked. Blame Android.
Recent history: Kyoko dropped her HTC G2 twice and it went a little loopy, so off to somewhere in Pennsylvania it went for a few days. Meanwhile, I gave her my unlocked Palm Pre 2 to use while it was being repaired and she has taken a liking to it. So we switched phones and I got the HTC when it was returned. As it turned out, rather than blogging, I spent yesterday getting used to my new phone with Android.
I like Android. I mean, I really like it. While I was starting to warm up to WebOS and while I think the HP offering has much in the way of potential, Android is just head and shoulders over WebOS. It is just a great OS for the hardware it's running on.
This is where the love affair comes to a screeching halt. No matter how great it is, it's on a phone. It's running on hand-held hardware which, when looking at it, is still only a phone, when all is said and done.
I know it does a lot of other stuff. Let me explain why I say this, and I'd gladly plead "guilty" to the fact that this is purely generational.
Doing things with the HTC yesterday — calling, texting, checking out the GPS (a very, very cool feature) — was thrilling and filled with "hey, look at this" moments. However, it appears for what I would use the HTC for — primarily using it as a phone and possibily an occasional text message — leaves much of Android's abilities on the bench, so to speak.
Not only this, it begs the question: Why would I use Gmail or Facebook on such a small screen? Is surfing the Web really a viable option on hardware like the Palm Pre 2 or the HTC? I mean, you can do it, with a lot of pinching and expanding of the screen, but how efficient and logical is that? Do you really need to be that connected?
For all the cool things the HTC G2 does, and for all the cool things that Android does for it (and, again, the GPS is really cool), it is still only a phone. I'll keep connecting with the wider Internet with the laptop and desktop, thank you.

O-Shogatsu, which lasts January 1st through 3rd, is the traditional Japanese New Year. It is a time for reflection, family, friends, delicious foods and of course, fun!
An important New Year symbol and good luck charm for the Japanese is the Drauma doll, which has no pupils in its eyes. Tradition is to make a wish and paint the pupil of the left eye. If your wish comes true before the end of the year, you paint the right pupil.
The Daruma, which looks like a child's punching doll, reinforces the concepts of patience and persistence.

Arrow Weight
#1 What Is A Realistic Hunting Arrow Weight? (carbon)
#2 What Is Spine Of An Arrow?
#3 What Is A Good Vane Length, And How Do You Decide?
Helical Or Straight
Thanks In Advance
Helical should be your only option. You are shooting broadheads and need an arrow to spin. This means helical.
Arrow weight is a whole different issue and relates to spine. We need more information to give a realistic opinion. How many pounds do you pull, what type of cam is on your bow and what is your arrow length and draw length?
Vanes, generally a 4" vane. But with the new improved vanes like the blazer and quikspin, you can sometimes shoot the 2" versions. Your bow must be tuned very well to shoot the smaller ones and you need a really good flying broadhead.
For whitetails, you should get 50ft/lbs of kinetic energy or more. To calculate this, you need to know how fast your bow shoots a given arrow.
Then it is ke = mass weight in grains * (feet/sec ^2) / 450,240
To give you an example, my arrow weighs 400 grains and my bow shoots it at 274 feet per second. This calculates to 66.7 ft/lbs.
Give us more info and we will try to help.Chris Christenson - Admin

Chris, you really need to rethink the KE thing. 50lbs/ft is the recommended minimum for elk and larger game. For deer the recommended minimum is around 24-25lbs/ft. I am an adult male, 58 years old with 32+ years of shooting compound bows target, 3D, field shooting, you name it----including hunting. I routinely shoot right through deer sized game with less than 40lbs.ft of energy.
All the KE in the world is worthless if the archer cannot control the bow. Accuracy is the key.

I Do Not Have A New Bow Yet So I Can Not Say What The Cam Is . But I Plan On A 70# Draw Weight
My Draw Lenght Is 29.5 (according To Bfishers Formula)
How Would I Determine Arrow Lenght?

Your arrow length can vary a lot, depending on whether you want it hanging beyond the bow or not. And you'll almost certainly have to be measured after you mount a rest on the bow. The general concensus is to leave the arrow extend beyond the rest about an inch--for safety sake. However, for economic reasons you may just want to leave it at about 29-29.5". If you should change rests later and need a longer arrow you may have to replace them if they are too short. And if should want to shorten them later then you'll still have enough that you just cut an inch off and install new inserts. So you could ultimately end up with arrows as short as 28" if you shoot a rest like the Whisker Bisquit that mounts behind the riser.
And the best place to get all this done is at a pro-shop. They should be able to set you up with the right equipment. Just remember, Drawlength equals "wingspan divided by 2.5" This is a starting place, but should be a lot closer than 2" too long like most people shoot.
And considering that you'll be shooting about 70# or even 65# KE just became a moot subject for anything walking around in North America.

The best position for your baby inside your uterus at the time of delivery is head down. This position makes it easier and safer for your baby to pass through the birth canal.
In the last weeks of pregnancy, your health care provider will check to see what position your baby is in.
If your baby's position does not feel normal, you may need an ultrasound. If the ultrasound shows your baby is breech, your doctor will talk with you about your options for a safe delivery.
In breech position, the baby's bottom is down. There are a few types of breech:
You are more likely to have a breech baby if you:
If your baby is not in a head down position after your 36th week, your doctor can explain your choices and their risks to help you decide what steps to take next.
Your doctor may try to guide the baby into the right position. This is called external version and involves pushing on your belly while watching the baby on an ultrasound. The pushing may cause some discomfort.
You may be given a medication that relaxes the muscles of the uterus.
Success is higher if your doctor tries this procedure at about 37 weeks. At this time, the baby is a little smaller, and there is usually more fluid around the baby. The baby is also old enough in the small chance that there is a problem during the procedure that makes it necessary to deliver the baby promptly. External version can not be done once you are in active labor.
Risks are low for this procedure when a skilled doctor does it. Rarely, it may lead to an emergency C-section if:
It depends, but most babies who remain breech after an attempt at turning them will be delivered by C-section. Your doctor will explain the risk of delivering a breech baby vaginally.
The danger of breech birth is mostly due to the fact that the largest part of a baby is its head. So when the breech baby's pelvis or hips deliver first, the mom's pelvis may not be large enough for the head to be delivered also.
Other problems may be:
To try to deliver the baby normally:
Even then, fewer and fewer doctors who deliver babies have much or any experience delivering a breech birth. It is the standard in America to deliver most breeches by C-section, given the decreased risks for the baby.
If a C-section is planned, which is likely for most women carrying a breech baby, it will usually be scheduled for no earlier than 39 weeks. You'll have an ultrasound at the hospital to confirm the position of the baby just before the surgery.
There's also a chance that you'll go into labor or your water will break before your planned C-section. If that happens, call your health care provider right away and head for the hospital. It is important to go in right away if you have a breech baby and your bag of water breaks, because there is a higher chance that the cord will come out even before you are in labor. This can be very dangerous for the baby.
Sometimes the baby will move itself into head-down position. If not, the doctor will try to help move the baby. If the baby cannot be moved, you may need to have surgery to deliver the baby safely.
These positions are abnormal (not normal) and may cause problems:
There are other positions that are abnormal, but less common. The rarer positions are:
In some cases, a vaginal birth may be possible.

Each tube of Boiron's Phosphorus 200 CK contains 16 doses of 5 pellets, with 80 pellets total. Boiron offers more than 800 homeopathic medicines that are approved by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of United States (HPUS). How are homeopathic medicines presented? Many homeopathic medicines are presented as specialties in packaging like other over-the-counter drugs you're familliar with. Specialties are very convenient as their indications and directions for use are very clear and specific to a condition. They are available in a variety of dosage forms such as tablets, gels, ointments and creams, syrups, eye drops, and suppositories. If you are not yet familiar with homeopathic medicines, specialties are a great way to discover their benefits. Specialties, like Arnicare Gel or Calendula Lotion, may contain one single medicine although most of the time they combine several active ingredients within the same product. Another very common presentation for homeopathic medicines is the multi-dose tube. This presentation is usually used for medicines containing only one active ingredient. When should I choose a single medicine? In some instances, symptoms are so specific that it is easy to select one single medicine. Many self-medication books are available to help you in your selection. One of the most popular is the Family Guide by Dr. Alain Horvilleur. Boiron offers more than 80 of the most commonly used single medicines, packaged in our signature "multi-dose tubes" to select health food stores and pharmacies. These stores may also special-order other single medicines from the 800 stocked by Boiron. How can I get more familiar with homeopathic medicines? Boiron CareKitsTM provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about homeopathic single medicines. Each kit contains the two or three most useful single medicines for a particular condition, individually packaged in multi-dose tubes.

LONDON -- With both the Summer Olympics and Paralympics now over, Simply Drinks, a London-based vending company specializing in hot beverage equipment, said its service during the Games "ran like clockwork."
Because many of its customers are based either in central London, near Olympic sites or on restricted traffic transport routes, Simply Drinks worked for months to put a plan in place to ensure that its machines functioned effectively despite the wave of road closures, influx of visitors and unusual staff working patterns during the Summer Olympics, which ran July 27-Aug. 12 and Paralympic Games, which were held Aug. 29-Sept. 9.
The vending company said it supplied product in advance to many customers to make sure they had enough stock onsite to sustain them during key periods of the Games. It also started vending rounds very early in the morning before road closures and scheduled more of its vending staff to work night shifts when possible.
"Many of the staff in the banks and the big institutions were allowed to work from home, organize teleconferences and phone calls rather than face-to-face meetings and work flexible hours," said Simply Drinks operations manager Steve Allanson. "A lot of our vending customers also encouraged their staff to take annual leave during the Olympics. This meant that the demands on our vending machines weren't as high as normal. In fact, in the city, it was quite quiet."
He added that the worst day for vending machine operations and servicing was when the parade was held at the end of the Olympics. "The parade hadn't been planned so it took us a bit by surprise. We had meticulously planned for everything else as we knew it was going to happen," Allanson said. "So the parade did cause us upheaval on that day. But we're not complaining. We all had a great Olympics and our Olympic vending plan worked without a hitch!"
