Charge: Drunken driver struck Riverside NJ police car
RIVERSIDE – The first mistakes Alexis R. Molina made, police said, were deciding to drive without a license after getting drunk.
It got worse when the Riverside man struck a police car and kept on driving, authorities said.
And allegedly lying about his identity was just the icing on the cake.
Molina, 25, is behind bars in Burlington County Jail after that series of bad decisions ended in his arrest early Sunday morning, police said.
It all started around 12:08 a.m., just after a township patrolman parked his car on Bridgeboro Street while responding to a call.
As the officer walked toward the sidewalk, Molina's vehicle struck his patrol car and "kept going," police said.
A government panel is recommending that states significantly lower their drunken driving thresholds as part of a blueprint to eliminate alcohol-impaired driving deaths in the United States each year. (Jan 17)
The officer got into another patrol vehicle and pulled over Molina's vehicle, police said.
While processing Molina following his arrest, police said, officers determined he gave them a fake name, birthdate and address.
He faces charges of driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a crash, refusal to submit to breath testing, driving while unlicensed, obstructing the administration of law and hindering his own apprehension.

"Atlantic Maritimer" 9x12, oil
Learning to paint outdoors is first all about learning to see - and then learning not to see so much!
When you first start working from life, you become enchanted with all the little things you never noticed before. Not to dredge up the 60s, but it's almost as if you've taken a drug that expands your sense of sight. Details, especially, seem to take on a larger importance. The exact pattern of cracks in a rocky cliff becomes paramount, and your eyes ache, trying to trace a fingernail-thin fracture from a few hundred feet away.
This level of detail is only important if you want to create a photograph of the scene in paint. But I would bet that even photorealists do a certain amount of filtering and don't paint everything.
For the plein air painter, the next step in learning to paint is to not see everything. See a little less. See only what's important in capturing the magic of the moment.
In the painting above, I left out a lot. For example, I omitted a mass of rusted steel pipes sticking out from a pile of old tires and the registration numbers on the side of the boat. I was more interested in the sense of light. (By the way, I've nicknamed this boat "Stubby" - it really does look that short! It has an enormous hold for carrying vast quantities of fish.)

What Happy Photographers Are Saying:from 244 reviews
My wife bought this bag for me for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE it. It's exactly as it is named, easy access. I don't have rummage through he bag to quickly grab my DSLR on a shoot or on the go. great bag for the price!
Love it
Nicely packaged... can't wait to get out and use it.
Great product that works as advertised.
Perfect size. Fits all my gear and the quality is really, really good.
I bought this for a trip I was planning and the bag was absolutely perfect. Great quality, lots of storage spaces and the wheels were just an added bonus! Highly recommend!
Great Product, Fast Service
Excellent tripod & monopod! Easy to carry with included bag.
Works great, nice tight fit, and the bubble level is a nice addition.
Works perfectly on my D750, very satisfied.
Everything is good with the price
Love the protectors!! Plenty of protection and offer a great clip to carry on your side for easy accessibility. I just wish perhaps they were slightly wider for my lens hood to remain on my Large lenses. Would order again!
So far so good! I've been using it for astrophotography.
Great lens at this price point!
Received my order in a timely manner. Haven't used the products yet but looking forward to putting them to good use.
Comfortable, straight stencil, reasonably good quality
Fast service, item was even better than expected. Now both my camera and flash are smarter than I am.
Love the ring light
A basic over the shoulder camera strap that works well and keeps the weight of the camera off of my neck, which is why I purchased it.
I primarily bought the case to carry my flying camera(drone) but will see use for my dslrs. Easily configured for multiple uses with movable dividers. Only negative is the zipper sometimes hangs up on the lids edge seam and has to be manipulated to get it unstuck. Good value!
Sturdy yet light and watertight. Does the job.
Nice bag, keeps camera dry and able to shoot in heavy rain. Handy strap for carrying.
They could modify the roll up plastic to leave more room to snap closed. Needs a a trigger hole for shutter button.
Overall pretty good bag for price.
Looks very good and real but takes to long to get
Arrived in good condition, looks good.
I personally don't care too much about wearing the Name Brand around my neck when I'm out photographing the world around me.
I love my "Vintage Fashion Neck & Shoulder Trap" It's very comfortable and looks real nice. I would highly recommend this strap. It's a good one.
Its a great product, However when i use my 28 to 300 lense I can see the ring clearly through the viewfinder
just what the doctor ordered, now some experiments
Nice tripod. Reasonably light and sturdy enough for my Sony A6000 with kit lens.
I ordered this background, it took a longer time than projected to arrive. But I have to say that it was worth the wait. I was so pleased with the product that I have purchased a different background. Keep up the good quality.
The flash works well with my Canon 60D. I've been pleased with its performance, and I'm looking forward to really putting it through its paces. I do agree with one of the other reviewers, that an online manual would be greatly appreciated.
I bought this item on the recommendation of some pro photographers. It is a very well-made device, but I haven't yet found a way to use it in my photography. I'm sure I will!
I love it...it's very helpful when I'm on the move
Served as an ideal backdrop in most recent series.
I like the way it attaches to the bottom of the camera. Very secure. I have large hands and a battery pack on my cameras, so a little more strap would have been nice. I anm still waiting for my double harness, to fully test these out. There was delays in shipping my harness. Which was ordered with the hand straps.
Top class Product thanks :)
Delivered the next day . Good job!!!
Thank you

Christmas is my favorite Holiday and I love to drive around and gaze admiringly at the decorations and lights in, on, and around the homes and yards of those more motivated than I. I really do love to see a place all decked out, but I just don't have the energy and gumption to do much decorating myself. Don't get me wrong, I love to decorate! But I'm just not the type who changes everything for every season and holiday.
This year, decorating very much at all is a challenge anyway, because we have moved into a tiny little house and literally have no room for many decorations. In fact, we don't even have a good place to put a Christmas tree! I checked into buying a corner tree (didn't think we'd be happy with that at all) or a pencil tree (it'd still be awful crammed in that corner), and I knew that a little table-top was "out" as far as the kids were concerned. Soooo...we're improvising. Majorly. Please don't laugh.
In the only available corner in our living room, on a table, stand...(drum roll please)...three trees. Yes, three.
I got a set of three adorable, country-lookin', pre-lit trees, each a different height, and arranged them on that table in the corner. Traditional? No. A satisfactory solution? Yep! They actually look quite pretty! Alas, they aren't decorated yet so I can't share a photo, but they will be by Saturday night if I can help it and I'll take some shots and get them up on here. Most importantly, the kids like the idea. (I don't mean to make them sound like demanding, spoiled little brats at all! They just love a big Christmas tree and really didn't want to settle for a small tabletop. However, if that had been what we chose to do, they would have made the best of it.)
One of my favorite decorations, of course, is the little nativity we bought about seven years ago. Last year we had a nice mantle to put it on. This year... I'm not sure yet where it will be placed, but I'll find a place of honor where, hopefully, it won't be knocked over! (One of our special Christmas traditions is centered around this little set, but I'll post about that at another time.)
So with the three trees, the nativity set, some greenery over some windows and a few other items placed here and there, our little home will look rather festive, I think. Oh, and the children have small trees in their rooms as well!

Small and Wonderful Things . . .
"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get." ~Anne Dillard
A few of the small and wonderful things which bring untold joy into my life. It's the small things in life which truly mean the most.
The roses which are blooming profusely in my garden at the moment. They're so beautiful. We have a lot of different kinds. I don't know their names . . . just that I love them and they are gorgeous. How can anyone look at all of the intricacies and beautify of any bloom and not see God?
I see God everywhere . . .
Meals shared with good friends. We had some good friends over to supper last night and had such a lovely time. I think there is no finer way to enjoy friendship with each other than to break bread together . . . mi casa est sous casa . . .
I just love having company for supper and getting to cook for others. That's what I used to enjoy most about my job down south . . . getting to cook for others all the time. It was like having company every night of the week!
I haven't share a photo of this little dear in a while. She brings so much joy into our lives. She is really enjoying these drier warmer days. She loves to run about in the garden and keep it safe from predators, like the neighborhood cats! They like to hang out in the reeds by our pond and mither the fish. She likes to chase them out of the reeds by our pond . . .
And yet they still come back? They can't be very smart cats.
This little dear warms my heart. She is so sweet. Those boots are never very far from Maryn's feet. I think they are her favourite thing to wear. Her mom's baby is due any day now . . . I think Maryn will be a great big sister. No idea if it will be a boy or a girl . . . but this is one Grandma who is pumped no matter what!
I know . . . it's two minutes of my time that I will never ever get back . . . but the laughs are priceless . . . there is this program on the iPad that you can take distorted pictures with. When I was home recently . . .
Eileen and I had so much fun playing with it! We laughed and laughed.
Tim was not amused . . . although he did enjoy The Ultimate Dog Tease on YouTube.
Family times . . . they're the best of times.
It's bad . . . I know . . . but it's sooooooo good. I confess. I cannot resist having cake for breakfast if there's a cake in the house. I am such a bad puddy tat.
This is probably why I look the way that I do . . .
Dandelion wishes . . . I can never look at one of these without feeling the magic. I know to some they are weeds . . . and weeds which breed hundreds and thousands of other weeds, but I see wishes. Multitudes of wishes and dreams and . . . as we all know dreams can come true, and wishes too!
"Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young."
~JK Rowling, Harry Potter, The Order of the Phoenix
I am grateful for my "young" heart which enables me to be silly sometimes and laugh at myself in a multitude of ways. Oh, I know . . . that first look in the mirror in the morning is a real kicker some days, but I still feel inside as I did years and years ago.
That's probably one of the reasons I can eat cake for breakfast and not feel overly guilty about it.
Chives and chive blossoms . . . they add immeasurable goodness this time of year to my salads and dinners. What savoury thing doesn't taste or look even tastier with a smattering of these scattered over the top! Not much . . . in my opinion.
Baked Top Hat Pork Chops. They're whats cooking in The English Kitchen today . . . and they're mighty good too!
A thought to carry with you through today . . .
"Smile! It may never happen. And if it does, well . . . we'll deal with it then."
~The wisdom of . . . moi
Happy Day All!

Snow Angels Scheme Launched in Ribble ValleyPublished Tuesday, 10 December 2013
A team of volunteers armed with snow shovels and shoe grippers is being recruited to help elderly Ribble Valley residents stay a step ahead of winter.
The Ribble Valley Snow Angels scheme was launched today (Tuesday 10 December) by the borough's mayor, Richard Sherras.
Ribble Valley Borough Council has received £36,000 from the Public Health Fund for a raft of winter measures, including Snow Angels, boiler replacement and repair, falls prevention and winter packs for patients leaving Clitheroe and Longridge Community Hospitals.
Snow Angels will see the borough's 41 parishes receive emergency equipment for use by volunteers helping elderly residents during heavy snow. The equipment will include snow shovels, shoe grippers, bags of rock salt and high visibility tabards.
Now a team of volunteers and coordinators are sought for each parish to get the scheme up and running.
Ribble Valley Borough Council's housing strategy officer, Rachael Stott, said: "Winter is a particularly difficult and isolating time for the elderly, but this can be prevented.
"Much colder countries cope far better with the winter due to better insulated homes and greater awareness of the need for the elderly to keep warm.
"Snow Angels has proved successful in other rural boroughs and we are looking for a network of coordinators and volunteers to help make the scheme a success.
"We need a team of volunteers, such as young farmers and scouts, willing to help us ensure some of Ribble Valley's most vulnerable residents stay warm this winter."
The Snow Angels scheme also includes free bags of rock salt for Ribble Valley residents aged over 70 and the loan of oil-filled radiators or a contribution towards emergency heating costs for households in receipt of benefits and with members aged over 65 or under five.
Funds are also available for boiler repairs for households in receipt of benefits and with members aged over 65 or under five, while residents who are particularly vulnerable may receive fleece blankets and thermos flasks.
Snow angels coordinators and volunteers will receive suitable training and support.
Further details of how to volunteer for or benefit from the scheme are available on our Winter Service pages or on 01200 425111.

Accutime Handscanner Pro Review
Accutime Handscanner Pro Review
'Having worked with Brendan and the team at Accutime on three installations of the TAPro100 and Handscanner system over different business I feel fair placed to write a testimonial! I have always been impressed by their professional attitude as well as their knowledge of the system. They worked seamlessly with internal IT departments and plugged knowledge gaps in layman's terms for our teams. Issue resolution was quick and the on-hand support enabled the deadlines to be achieved on all three occasions. I would highly recommend both the system, which is itself very easy to use, and the Accutime team.'

Goal of optimization is not to save money, but to increase effectiveness of public administration bodies
YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS. During the election campaign My Step alliance promised to change the government's staff, composition, cut the number of ministries, and the government should steadily move on this path, Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during today's Cabinet session, reports Armenpress.
"This process doesn't mean saving money at all, its goal is much more important – to raise the effectiveness of the public administration bodies. And we really must carry out serious works for this purpose", Pashinyan said.
He informed that a number of discussions in different formats were held in the government, and others as well will be held in the future. "Of course, we are confident that we must move on this path, and in fact, we have received the citizens' mandate. During this period we will listen to all opinions on possible configurations and will make a more balanced decision", Nikol Pashinyan said.

By Teachers, For Teachers
When you get down to it, the only true way you're going to get better as a teacher is if you try.
If you have the desire to improve, and you take action on that desire, then you will get better. If you have no desire to improve, then it doesn't matter what supposed actions you'll take – you won't get better.
I firmly believe that there is a better version of ourselves waiting for us in the future. To realize this better version we need to be devoted to taking consistent steps towards self-improvement. Unfortunately, it's all too often that our schools don't necessarily help us toward those better versions of our teaching selves. Instead, a lot of opportunity for professional development is squandered talking about things that do little to serve us or serve students.
So are you interested in getting better as a teacher? Are you interested in designing your own forms of professional development?
If you answered yes to both questions, then take a look at the following list. It's designed to show you the wide array of options you have for moving forward with your plans to better yourself as an educator. Take a look at all the options, and select the ones that seem most appealing to you!
Take courses. It's common for teachers to return to school and earn extra degrees or additional endorsements. You can further study your specific field, or you can take courses focused on education. Either way, having access to knowledgeable professors, relevant textbooks, and like-minded classmates goes a long way in improving your impact on students.
Read books about teaching. Why spend mega-dollars on a degree when you can just buy the books on your own for far less money? Get yourself to a bookstore or check out Amazon.com, where you can gain access to all the latest books about how to teach a little better.
Subscribe to journals. There are dozens of publications out there related to teaching and to your specific field. Subscribe to these education journals for a regular dose of the "best ideas out there."
Write and publish your own ideas. We all know that the teachers learn way more about a subject than their students. So if you really want to improve, become a teacher for teachers. Instead of just reading others' ideas from publications, why not write your own materials based on your mastery of certain areas that others can benefit from?
Attend conferences. Books and publications are great ways to access top-of-the-line ideas about education. But you can also go directly to the sources and personally interact with talented educators at conferences. Find the state and national conferences that relate to the topics you teach and connect with the people who are there!
Speak at conferences. Just like you should try publishing your own materials, why not also try to be a speaker at a conference? Putting yourself in such a position challenges you to master certain concepts.
Subscribe to education blogs and websites. There are lots of teachers who have their own blogs. There are also lots of educators doing amazing things and writing articles about it (look at our very own TeachHUB.com, for example!). A few simple searches will help you find some superior web resources created by teachers for teachers.
Start your own website or blog. Know what I'm going to say next? Do it yourself! Create your own blog or website contributions. Like publishing or speaking, it helps you clarify your own ideas to yourself, and also gets your best ideas out there for others to benefit from too.
Join professional organizations. There are many professional organizations for teachers to join. These organizations range from subject-specific ones, to age-specific ones, to generic "teacher" organizations. Find a few operating in your area or state, or even take part in national organizations! Being a part of a professional organization connects you to people, ideas, and resources that you might not normally have access to if you remained in your small teaching sphere.
Utilize social media and create your own PLN. Social media – namely Facebook and Twitter – offer fantastic opportunities for connecting with educators throughout the world. From the comfort of your jammies and couch cushions, you can communicate with all kinds of interesting educators. Social media is great for personally crafting the list of people from whom you receive information, updates, and links.
Pursue a relatable hobby or talent. Becoming a better teacher doesn't necessarily mean just focusing solely on teaching. Focus on an area you are personally passionate about. The development of your own talents and interests helps in numerous intangible ways to make you a more well-rounded person. If you're a better person, this is reflected in your teaching and interactions with students.
Create goals for yourself. Don't wait for some administrator to tell you where you need to improve. Examine your own teaching and decide for yourself where you want to focus on. Write your goals down, as well as the steps for achieving them.
Join a Master Mind group. A Master Mind group is a group of hand-selected people who gather together regularly (once a week or so) specifically for the purpose of helping one another reach goals. Every individual in the group might have a different goal, but everyone in the group is interested in the success of every other member. Gathering together to share ideas, ask for advice, and mutually inspire one another goes a long way in making you a more proactive individual.
Observe other teachers. I love watching other teachers teach. It reminds me of the infinite array of personalities and techniques one can utilize to teach students. Spend time throughout each year within the classrooms of teachers you know are good. Examine how they design lessons, implement instruction, and interact with students. Then adapt what you witness to suit your own needs!
Get observed by others. Openly invite feedback from others. If you're confident as a teacher, then you're confident enough to invite other professionals into your classroom to provide you with feedback and suggestions. Having trustworthy colleagues willing to help you is an enormous resource toward your professional development.
When Do I Have Time for This?
Well, if this is your own professional development, then you have two options: do as much of it as you can during the summer, or chisel out some time for yourself somehow during the school year.
Summertime is the prime time for taking advantage of professional development opportunities. But it only comes – well - during summertime. What about the rest of the year?
As they say, you are always able to make time for what's important. So if your own professional development is important to you, then you can find a way to make it happen during the school year. Some of the items listed above – like attending conferences or taking classes – happen at specifically prescribed times. So you're at the whim of the schedule as to when you participate in those. Other ideas – like reading books on your own or using social media – happen when you make them happen.
What some teachers have done is allotted a small, consistent portion of their day to professional development. Sometimes they take the first 20 minutes or last 20 minutes of their day and devote it to reading books on teaching. Sometimes they find a few minutes during their lunch period to chatter a bit on social media. Whatever the case may be for you, try to select a convenient time for yourself where you can consistently pay attention to you!
Are you going to take the professional development challenge? Through which of the ideas above are you going to actively improve yourself this year? Share your thoughts in the comments!

There is a village in the north west of Lanzarote called Famara. It is a surfing town, blessed with a long sandy beach that wraps itself around the junction in the land where the cliffs rise up sheer to create the high mountain range of basalt rock that rises up from the sea. The waves roll in off the point break created by the land formation, clean hollow breaks like a mini Hawaii pipeline. The main town is a combination of surfers hangout and cyclists pit stop, with a few pretty beach side traditional houses and cafes. On the far side of the beach is a small housing development, stone built whitewashed squat villas rented out or used as holiday homes by wealthy locals. It is a lovely place, made more lovely by the brooding presence of the highest peak on the island watching over, and the wall of basalt leading off towards the north.
Three trails lead off from the corner of the housing development. One leads up, snaking to the top of Penas del Chache, getting more rocky and technical as you climb. One leads west half way up the cliffs until a landslide cuts it off and makes it impassable. The third leads inland, and eventually winds up the back of the mountain.
I took the west trail first, running over the rocky path in the shadow of the mountains on my right. On the left the sea, surfers like tiny toys bobbing through the lines of waves. Where the trail had been swept away by a rockslide I had to turn back, running past the village and out along the inland path. Soon this turned uphill towards the back of the mountain. A dry river bed cut starkly through the green carpet of the volcanic fertile soil. The path snaked upwards, over the hump of the mountain range, then climbed again sharply upwards requiring hands on knees to push upwards. Eventually, the climb flattens out and the radar equipment on the top of the mountain comes into view. From the far edge, you can see south and east, counting the hundreds of small volcanoes that dot the landscape. West lies the Atlantic Ocean, white lines of waves that look orderly and neat from this perspective.
The descent: six kilometres of technical switchback trail requiring concentration. I try to skip down efficiently, one lapse finds me on my hands. Smell of wild fennel, and heat rising where the wind is blocked. The remains of a car that had fallen for the high road above, macabre but shining in the sun. Boulders, lizards disturbed by my feet. Dust and clay and volcanic scree making my feet unsteady. I run as hard as I can down, pushing the last runnable kilometre as hard as I can.
Finishing the run, feet and legs in the cool ocean, watching the surfers further out. A run that will sustain me through the cold darkness of winter. 20kilometers and 1,000m up. My pack warm on my back. Trail shoes dusty and legs strong. I am so lucky to be able to do this.

The alcohol industry – including supermarkets, drinks companies, and trade associations – distorted international evidence on effective alcohol control measures in an attempt to influence the Scottish Government's public health policy to its advantage, according to a study published today in PLOS Medicine.
Researchers, led by Dr Jim McCambridge at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, found that the alcohol industry had ignored, misrepresented and undermined scientific evidence in submissions made to the Scottish Government's 2008 consultation, "Changing Scotland's relationship with alcohol." The consultation looked at policy proposals to introduce minimum unit pricing and end irresponsible promotions including below-cost selling of alcoholic drinks.
Dr McCambridge said: "There is a broad consensus internationally among researchers that the most effective measures to control problems caused by alcohol are to raise the price, control availability and restrict marketing activities. However, our study shows that key players in the alcohol industry constructed doubt about this wealth of scientific evidence and instead chose to promote weak survey-based evidence as well as making unsubstantiated claims to their advantage.
"These tactics mean it is harder for governments to make evidence-based policy where industry is involved. The public interest is not served by the alcohol industry's misinterpretation of research evidence and we must consider to what extent we should allow the health of the population to be compromised by these commercial interests."
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the University of York looked at 27 submissions made to the Scottish consultation by the alcohol industry.
Tesco criticised the data supporting the Scottish Government's proposals, claiming there was "little in the way of evidence" to support the impact of price on consumption. The Wine and Spirit Trade Association heavily promoted weak evidence in their submission, citing a small community trial which lacks thorough data.
The Portman Group made unsubstantiated claims that the proposals could "increase the appeal of alcohol to young people by creating a 'mystique'" and thereby "turning alcohol into a 'forbidden fruit'". They also claimed that the approach taken by the Scottish Government had been "widely discredited in research studies" when in fact there is broad consensus among researchers, who strongly support the approach as the correct one.
ASDA also made unsubstantiated claims about the adverse effects of policy proposals, saying they believed "minimum pricing and a promotions ban will create incentives for the black market and criminals and illegal door to door sales."
The findings raise concerns over the alcohol industry's ongoing involvement in alcohol policy-making for England and Wales. Unlike in Scotland, where submissions were available for all to see, not all submissions to the Home Office consultation on the implementation of the Government's Alcohol Strategy will be accessible in the public domain. It is unclear whether minimum unit pricing will be introduced.
The research was funded by Alcohol Research UK. Dr McCambridge is supported by the Wellcome Trust.

OAKLAND, Calif. — A week ago, the first-place Yankees came to the West Coast on a roll. They were scoring more than enough runs to support their starters and winning by comfortable margins.
They are headed home to the Bronx in a June skid, emotionally and physically spent from the California heat, long games and losing so many close ones.
Khris Davis hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the third that held up to back rookie Jharel Cotton's first victory since May 4, and the Oakland Athletics completed a four-game sweep of the slumping Yankees with a 4-3 win Sunday.
"Not very fun," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "They're not going to be perfect all the time. For the rest of the year these guys are going to be somewhat tired, that's just the bottom line."
Davis hit his team-best 18th homer in the third after Chad Pinder tied the game on a two-run double that inning. Davis' leadoff double in the sixth was wasted.
The Yankees welcomed back flame-throwing closer Aroldis Chapman but still lost their season-high sixth straight game following a six-game winning streak, finishing a disappointing 1-6 road trip with a weekend dud against the American League's worst team.
"As long as the feel of the team is still positive and energetic, guys aren't putting their head down and we're still having fun and enjoying each other, I think everything will be fine," Matt Holliday said. "These things happen during a season. You're going to go through stretches like this. You find out what you're made of."
Cotton (4-7) struck out six over 6 1/3 innings for his second-longest start of the season after going seven innings April 10 at Kansas City. The rookie right-hander, who had been 0-4 over a five-start winless stretch since beating the Twins, gave up six hits and three runs with a walk.
The A's won their fourth straight game, marking the club's second-longest winning streak of 2017 behind a stretch of five in a row April 18-22. Oakland had gone 26 series without a sweep dating to last Sept. 12-15 at Kansas City.
Yankees right-hander Luis Cessa (0-1) allowed four run and five hits in four innings, struck out four and walked in his first start this year and second appearance.

"Modernism, which denies and absolishes every difference, cannot rest until it has made woman man and man woman, and putting every distinction on a common level, kills life by placing it under the ban of uniformity"
- Kuyper, Lectures on Calvinism, 26
This quote appeared on twitter last week, just after I had run across it during a deep dive into the works of Abraham Kuyper for an unrelated project, and on both occasions it struck me as a misreading of the trajectory of modernity. To be fair, from where Kuyper stood (namely, behind a Princeton lecture podium in 1898) it would have been difficult to see past the then-modern-spectre of socialism. Prediction will often look foolish from the vantage of hindsight. But there's more going on here than that: after all it is in part due to the influence of Kuyper himself that modern american culture has taken such a decidedly different, individually liberated, course.
Here on the other side of three or four waves of feminism we know that the stated goal was precisely not to abolish difference but to multiply it, transgressing the constrictive uniformity of binary gender constructs in order to open up a future in which difference could flourish. So here's the question I began asking myself as I read him last week: If Kuyper were alive to see this, would he reverse his position?
It is not an easy question to answer. As Mary Stewart van Leeuwen rightly points out in "Abraham Kuyper and the Cult of True Womanhood", Kuyper was not just resistant to the spectre of totalizing uniformity but also to "individualistic atomism". He opposed both stifling sameness and the splintering diversification wherein each becomes an identity-unto-themselves. He might have argued that the latter inevitably collapses back into the former—"if every one is a gender then no one is a gender" the argument might run—even if that's not what "modernism" thinks it is doing with gender.
|Abraham Kuyper
But the question stuck with me as I read his work: If Kuyper was alive today would he necessarily be a so-called complementarian? Does he belong with the company he keeps in the gender roles debate today? It's not a question of hypothetical speculation or cultural tribalism, it is about working with the grain of Kuyper's thought, investigating its internal tensions, and asking whether it must necessarily unravel it in one direction or another. (As a broadly Calvin-ist theologian I want to try to work with Kuyper, not because I am beholden to either of them, but because I want our theology to be coherent). So it is a matter of asking whether Kuyper's view of gender roles are open to contextual re-appropriation or whether one would have to leave his core principles behind in order to say something different.
One way to look at this question is to compare Kuyper's view of gender with his view of race, and to see whether the former is implicated in the latter, and thus open to critical re-thinking. I won't belabour this point but it is at least relevant to note that in his 1898 lectures on Calvinism Kuyper sang from the song-sheet of his culture by supposing that "the coloured races on the coast and in the interior of Africa" inhabited "a far lower form of existence" which required a degree of European influence (32).
Broadly in line with the natural sciences and economic interests of that period, Kuyper was not alone in reading this racial theory into scripture's Noahic blessing: "the children of Shem and of Japheth have been the sole bearers of the development of the race", with "no impulse for any higher life" coming "from the third group" (namely, Ham, 35). Kuyper would not sit neatly within today's label of white supremacist: A few paragraphs later he argues for the mixing of races for the sake of human development "taken as a whole" (36). But the narrative which makes sense of this is one of historical progression which has the Euro-American project at its head.
The point is not to make easy slam-dunk against Kuyper. Nor is there an easy way out in saying he was a product of his time on this, but otherwise sound on everything else. The point is to enquire whether his commentary on race exhibits his readiness to let culturally-formed "natural observations" cloud the judgment of his biblical interpretation and his understanding of the so-called created order. If his judgment is so clouded it would not necessarily make the entirety of his theology un-usable, but it would give us a moment's pause before we assumed that his views of gender were not similarly implicated.
A further step, then, is to examine Kuyper's reasoning and to ask what is fundamental to his theology of gender and what belongs to his contextual concerns. If there is any tension in his theology then we would look for an inner logic that, in some other context, might unravel in another way. In other words, despite the moral judgments he made in his time, is there a trajectory to those judgments which could later have unforeseen ramifications?
This is not an unfair imposition upon Kuyper's own moral reasoning: he uses it himself in his account of race and slavery. In the very same lecture quoted already, Kuyper says:
"Early stage Christianity did not abolish slavery, but undermined it by a moral judgment." Similarly, he explains: "Calvinism allowed the provisional continuance of the conditions of hierarchy and aristocracy as traditions belonging to the Middle Ages" while at the same time. "inwardly" it "modified the structure of society ... by a more serious interpretation of life." As a result, "a holier democratic idea has developed itself, and has continually gained ground. This result has been brought about by nothing so much as by fellowship in suffering" (27-28).
Later Kuyper observed "that this turn in the history of the world could not have been brought about except by the implanting of another principle in the human heart; that only by Calvinism the psalm of liberty found its way from the troubled conscience to the lips" (40).
Could the same moral trajectory be applied with regard to gender roles and restrictions? Never mind that Kuyper argued against some of the gender equalities that modern complementarians now take for granted (like the right to vote): the questions is whether, on the issue of gender roles, Kuyper knowingly and theologically locked himself in and threw away the key.
There is little doubt that Kuyper had no problem arguing for both equality and the delineation of roles; for both universal liberty and variegated responsibilities. Equality does not mean sameness, and for Kuyper this is observably normal (and biblically defensible) not only in the workplace but in all spheres of life. To occupy different roles is a sociological occurence that has been aggravated by the sinfulness of the world, but it is not itself a direct consequence of the fall (122-23).
I doubt many would differ with him on this general point. Who does not balk at the flat uniformity which Kuyper resisted? Equality does not mean sameness for us either. The issue for egalitarians is not the delineation of roles and responsibilities per se; the issue is how they get handed out. How securely should social roles be tied to sex and gender?
For Kuyper, the vehicle and the goal of liberation from oppressive hierarchies was a return to the freedom of domestic life. It was sin that led to kingdoms and empires, it was our created good to arrange ourselves in neighbourhoods of cooperatively functional families. In his lecture on "Calvinism and Politics" Kuyper says that the "combining [of] many families in a higher unity … would have internally been bound up in the Kingship of God," which is to say that the free interchange of smaller social units would have been God's way of ruling "harmoniously in the hearts of all." As it grew, humanity "would externally have incorporated itself in a patriarchal hierarchy (92)." Why? For reasons of both nature and revelation, says Kuyper: "Paternal authority roots itself in the very life-blood and is proclaimed in the fifth Commandment" (96).
To the modern ear this may sound definitively repressive to women, but it has not always necessarily been so. In ancient hunter-gatherer and agrarian contexts, with high child mortality rates and without modern means of birth control, it was to some degree natural that women and men would funnel into particular roles and responsibilities, but it was not strictly necessary that this be abstracted, codified, and absolutized into gendered power structures. That this did happen does not mean it always had to happen. With the books of Genesis and Exodus in hand, perhaps one could reconsider the social arrangements under other circumstances. Indeed, when just such circumstances arose from the modern enlightenment and the industrial revolution, like the culturally-conditioned complementarians after him, Kuyper was not afraid to improvise.
This is where things take their turn. Kuyper felt that the command to "honour thy father and mother" should be abstracted and delineated according to public and private spheres. With modern pressures in front of him and the Bible in hand, Kuyper ordered the men to public life (state and workplace) and the women to domestic life (home and family), each to the flourishing and honouring of the other. This did not make women the so-called heads of the home. Since husbands provided the point of contact with public affairs they were the ostensible leaders of the domestic realm, even if that meant empowering their wives to give shape to domestic affairs.
For further reading on this see Mary Stewart van Leeuwen's aforementioned essay, wherein she traces Kuyper's gendered division of Genesis 1's co-called cultural mandate:
|Mary Stewart van Leeuwen
There is, however, another possible—and more flexible—reading of Kuyper's position. South African church historian P.J. Strauss has shown that although Kuyper supported the informal Apartheid of his era, he saw it as a time-bound measure, aimed at the upliftment and development of native South Africans, and thus probably would not have supported the theory of closed and permanent Apartheid defended by his Calvinistic descendants. So too, it is possible that Kuyper, in his defence of women's entry into certain quasi-domestic public institutions (education, social work, nursing) may have expressed residual ambivalence about the absolute character of the gendered public-private dichotomy.... Thus, it is possible ... that Kuyper's Calvinistic descendants have read him to be less flexible on the gendering of the public-private dichotomy than he actually would have been, had he survived for several more decades" (see On Kuyper, 441-42).
So one hand it appears fairly obvious that Kuyper thought his particular ordering of gender roles was the way it should be. But on the other hand—especially against the backdrop of his concern for progress, liberty, and diversification—we might detect a trajectory on gender roles which went the same way as the trajectory against slavery. Correcting for the blindspots of nineteenth century science and culture (to borrow Kuyper's words): might a "holier democratic idea" arise from within the "fellowship of suffering"?
Those who argue that Kuyper was not logically pinned to the white supremacy of later generations are probably right to point out that he did not intend the isolation of races into separate and distinct spheres but argued for their mixing and multiplication. But that does not mean his views on race were not in need of some modification in order to make the most of what might have been otherwise commendable theology. Nor is it wise to resist a similar theological re-visitation of his approach to gender roles. Especially if the various spheres of life are to be respected for their freedom and internal integrity (like Kuyper argued in his 1880 "Sphere Sovereignty" speech), then families, workplaces, and churches should be afforded the space to reconsider how, under the lordship of Christ, they are to be ordered and upheld in each time and place.
In this endeavour, if Kuyper is taken back to the authority of Scripture under which he rightly placed himself, then those Scriptures must be read and re-read over against his culturally-conditioned interpretations as well as our own. Interestingly, on a close reading one finds not only that Kuyper's stance on gender roles is amenable to re-visitation on its own terms, but also that it might bend even further in our time toward the over-arching command to mutually "submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Eph. 5:21). Kuyper would almost certainly resist a modern form of secular egalitarianism which collapses equality into a homogeneous blob of sameness, but I'm unconvinced that a twenty-first century Kuyper would continue to insist on the sustenance of ancient household codes at the expense of "holier democratic" arrangements in the church and home.

Image if every myth, conspiracy and urban legend was true. Imagine a world where you can become what you want, without restrictions of class or level.
In The Secret World, the player is a "hero" having incredible powers, a sleeper agent until they are called to confront the powers of darkness around the world. "Dark Days are Coming," the dark days come and appear mysterious and atypical events on Earth. Mythological creatures, demons, vampires and even minor deities emerge from the darkness and infiltrate the real world. An army of heroes must stand up and confront the forces of evil.
To carry out this mission, some opt for guns or martial arts, the others will use magic, voodoo or impose their will on demons and other evil beasts.
In the Secret World, players are "insiders", members of secret societies in specific design and above all fully aware of the emergence of creatures ... In view of its priorities and beliefs, each player chooses the company of its choice, joining the Templars (London), the Illuminati (New York) or Dragon (Seoul).

It was a star-studded day at the PFDC L'Oreal Bridal Week and the Nishat Hotel elevators were bursting at the brims by the end of it. One elevator would open to Fawad Khan and his entourage, while another would put you in the same space as Mahira Khan. Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir – combustive stars of the popular Yaqeen Ka Safar – needed protection from fans and could be found being swiftly chaperoned from one space to another. Urwa and Mawra Hocane came all dressed up for their show, surrounded by 10 bodyguards, and left immediately but left enough of a buzz behind them. Maya Ali made an appearance for Nomi Ansari and wow, one could see why 'Teefa was in trouble!' She looked beautiful. As for the grand finale, amidst other comets, were Ali Sethi and Zeb Bangash, who had composed a song exclusively for Fahad Hussayn.
The highest point of the day had to be the big reveal of Mahira Khan being selected as L'Oreal's newest Brand Ambassador. Dressed in a strategically chosen white power suit, she whizzed out and made the more powerful speech ever. "Let nobody's opinion define who you are because all the women out there, including me, are worth it," she said, playing with the brand's tagline.
It was an eventful day and weaker collections did get overshadowed by the starlight, however, the strong and vibrant ones held their own. Here's an overview of the day in fashion…
Nomi Ansari
Qubool Hai
The prelude to Nomi Ansari's show was a teaser featuring Sana Javed and Ali Rehman and it was the most endearing start to the evening. The collection was optimistic and culturally appropriate. Designers started bleaching out colour when they realized they had a market in the Middle East but it's designers like Nomi Ansari who continue to celebrate the regional ethos of being Pakistani and that is something to celebrate.
Maya Ali came out with a beaming smile for Nomi Ansari.
Saira Shakira
Saira Shakira are distinctive because of the way they incorporate casual and dominant designs in their clothes: a Victorian collar, a Shakespearean cape, boyfriend collars etc. Their designs definitely have a thought process to them but that effort also needs to be applied to strengthening their signature because their collections have been lacking cohesion lately. It wasn't a bad collection but it wasn't a very memorable one either.
Iman Ali participated in the Saira Shakira showcase as a celebrity showstopper. We wish we'd see more of Iman on the screen than the catwalk.
Nickie Nina
ADEENA – Generation IV
Nickie Nina returned to their roots with this collection and it was refreshing to see the duo tap into their eastern sensibility rather than attempt confused hybrids. The burst of colour was a welcome change from the crystalline concoctions that had been dominating the runway in earlier days and I loved the reintroduction of chunri to wedding wear.
Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir lent their stardom to Nickie Nina's show.
Sadaf Fawad Khan Bridals
For a debut, this was a promising attempt. Named after Sadaf and Fawad's daughter and meaning 'shining light' this was a delicate collection etched on a luminous palette. Prominent was the incorporation of negative space, allowing the base colours breathing space without lumbering them with embellishment overload. Having Fawad Khan as Brand Ambassador would be both a curse and blessing because as a designer Sadaf would, at the end of the day, want her clothes to speak for themselves. Fortunately, they did.
Fahad Hussayn
Hoshruba: Dara Shikoh Aur Sunehri Churail
Fahad Hussayn was at a disadvantage this evening as he was following Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan on the catwalk and that's not an easy feat. It's his love for drama, attention to detail and dark ideology that actually lifted the audience from it's post-Khan bliss into a macabre and sinful place with Sunehri Churail. His first few models – an eastern edition of Macbeth's three witches – were a jolt of reality, reality that is often more twisted than it appears. And kudos to Nabila's team of makeup wizards who managed to execute Fahad's vision to perfection, allowing it distortion without making it look ugly.
Fahad's show was as star studded as it gets with Ali Sethi and Zeb Bangash performing and Amna Ilyas, Mekaal Zulfiqar and Amna Ilyas walking the catwalk.

Reading Borough Council (RBC) has proposed new enforceable bus lanes on London Street and the A33, and have asked for public comment by 1 March 2018.
London Street
The council plan to create a new southbound lane on London Street, between Mill Lane and Crown Street, by using road areas that are currently hatched out or are occupied by traffic islands. The result will be the one northbound bus lane which already exists, one new southbound bus lane next to the the eastern kerbside, and one southbound lane in the middle of the road for general traffic. The plan suggests that two traffic islands will be lost, replaced by one pedestrian crossing outside Shehnai (the Olympia Ballroom).
The council say this new plan will increase road capacity by segregating buses into their own lanes.
RBC plan to build a new enforceable bus lane on the southbound A33 between the northern Rose Kiln Lane junction (near the Grosvenor Casino) and the southern Rose Kiln Lane junction (near the water treatment works), and between the Kennet bridge (near the southern Rose Kiln lane junction) and Lindisfarne Way (for Kennet Island).
The council is also seeking a traffic regulation order to manage the existing southbound A33 bus lane between the Lindisfarne Way and Bennet Road gyratory.
The council also plan a new enforceable bus lane on the northbound A33 between the Bennet Road junction and the Island Road junction (the road to the tip), and from the Island Road junction to the southern Rose Kiln Lane junction.
The new bus lanes will be built by reconstructing the verges of the A33. Maps are available from the council website.
You can object to the council's proposals for these new enforceable bus lanes by sending an email to [email protected] no later than 1 March 2018. You need to show the reason for your objection.
- Proposed bus lane proposal and consultation from RBC (including maps).
- RBC traffic management sub-committee, 11 January 2018 papers and webcast.
- Happy new year from the Traffic Penalty Tribunal: the Southampton Street bus lane CCTV is useless.

Mysuru: It was an altogether different world that was marked by colourful lighting explaining the history of Mysuru and Mandya, contributions of Wadiyars and people like Sir Mirza Ismail and Sir M. Visvesvaraya — all through lightings with associated imagery and its verdant colours. The lights were projected on water and concrete structures as people cheered on top of their voice.
The venue was Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam where 3D projection mapping and other special lighting arrangements were made last evening. The show will continue for eight more days. People danced as bright lights with all its hues electrified the concrete structures and they enjoyed every moment of it as lights (carrying the theme VIBGYOR) were splashed on water.
The show has been organised by Mandya District Administration and Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) to attract tourists and the organisers were not disappointed as it pulled in many visitors indicating that the 3D mapping will be one of the major tourist attractions at KRS Dam till Oct.24. The projection brought alive the KRS Dam structure through video display just like the Sound and Light show.
The CNNL has awarded the contract of 3D projection mapping at KRS to Bengaluru-based DNA Entertainment Networks Pvt. Ltd., one of the international event management companies. The event was inaugurated by Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy. Every day, the show will be held from 6 pm to 8.30 pm.
A part of the Dam structure was illuminated and flood lights were flashed from the top. As the lights were focused on water, it reflected that particular colour, creating bright waves. Cultural programmes were performed on a floating stage set up in the boating pond at Brindavan Gardens.

I have always enjoyed expressing myself artistically, focusing on one technique at a time, painting with watercolors, cross-stitching, or quilting.
When I found Stampin' Up!® and began making cards, I was able to use multiple techniques on the same project! It was exciting to learn new techniques. As a demonstrator, I am even more energized by seeing my customers' joy when they master a new technique.
I am thrilled when I learn something new and I cannot wait to share tips, tricks, tools, and techniques with you!
The only thing better than receiving a handmade gift is creating and giving one. I hope you will enjoy creating handmade gifts to give to your family and friends.

Share a high and a low from your week.
This can be a short story or comment, or a longer story with more conversation. If you are just starting out, don't press the conversation if it feels awkward. Let the conversation come to you as you move through the questions!
Matthew 25:14-30 NIV
The Parable of the Talents
Why is it sometimes easier to blame God for what you don't have than trust God with what you do have?
What do you think Jesus was trying to teach the crowd through The Story of The Talents?
Find a phrase you can say to remind yourself of the way God sees you. Write that phrase down:
My God loves me, so I can love me.
I'm a loved son/daughter of God.
God defines me. People don't.
I'm an accepted child of God.
God says I have what it takes.
Thank you for the gifts you have given me. Thank you for the gifts you have given others. Be with us this week as we celebrate the many blessings in our lives and the lives of others. Help us to use these gifts to glorify you. Amen.
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Share a High or Low from this week.
Name one person in your life that you wish would say, "You're Awesome."
Galatians 4:4-6
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
According to the Galatians 4:4-6, what do you think God thinks about you?
How does this affect the way you see yourself?
What would you do differently today if you only cared about God's opinion?
Dear God, thank you for loving us as your sons and daughters. Thank you for sending your Spirit into our lives and helping us find our worth in your eyes. Remind us that we are your children and we are loved by you. Amen.
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
What is this?
Each week we will post one or more blogs related to our ministries for High School youth and families. Check back often and leave a comment!

Its widely known by now that the usually stoic and reticent Derrick Rose donned an "I Can't Breathe" shirt in warmups prior to the loss to the visiting Golden State Warriors. He has been mostly lauded for this move, but there are also detractors. Bernstein insulted his intelligence and questioned his ability to be able to articulate why he's wearing the shirt, and of course several calls into local radio by the Wrigleyville/North Shore/Lincoln Park/Gold Coast crowd brim with the usual annoyance. Expected, especially in this mostly segregated city that features vastly different life experiences… They can't even begin to understand it (and don't care to have it explained).
I personally liked it. I like that he's showing that no matter how much money he's received, how drastically his life has changed (and the fact that he can now look out from Trump Tower and see his old Englewood neighborhood), his heart is still close to everyday cats.
I'll be back with more. The games started coming too quickly for me to keep up. We dominated Brooklyn, lost a 2OT heartbreaker to a relentless Dallas team, bounced back vs. jumpshot happy Charlotte and fell badly in the 4th after a strong 3rd quarter to streaking Golden State. Tough breaks, but our schedule hasn't been soft either. Gets a little easier vs. Brooklyn on Wednesday and then a real challenge presents itself with Portland on Friday. That team has had a lot of success against the Bulls, would be a real statement if they could put them down.
Til' next time, See Red…

Looking for some seasonal tips for carp fishing? Then read on, as these short and sharp pointers could make or break your winter.
DECEMBER carp fishing is not always for the faint-hearted, but many Angler's Mail fans will be out of the bank. We know that's especially true during the various bonus days off over the festive season.
Make no mistake about it, carp fishing can be tricky during a typical British winter. The fish can slow down, and some waters really can seem impossible to crack for days, if not weeks, on end.
But thereâs still plenty of action to had, especially on well stocked waters.
So think really carefully about where you're going to head for during December, January and February.
The so-called 'runs waters' can be brilliant for catching a carp in the colder months. On a good day, you can still enjoy good hits of double-figure fish… and bigger.
Here are some suggestions to increase your chances of success…
December carp fishing tips
1. Boilies, especially well dipped or proven winter catchers like frozen Richworth Tutti Frutti boilies, can be deadly.
2. Both fishmeals and fruity boilies can work â experiment to see what theyâre on at your water.
3. Single hookbaits are deadly, and yes some anglers go down in bait size (like the Tutti minis below). But donât be afraid to feed the odd bait or two, especially when packing up so the fish are feeding on them when youâre not there. It could pay next time you're out.
4. Carp will still go into shallower swims when mild and in strong sunshine, but deeper swims are normally the best bet.
5. Carp have been caught all year so do try a different hookbait to what they have been offered in the months gone by. Iâve often had good December carp fishing success offering two 15 mm boilies baits on the hook. I fish them in a standard style or as a 'snowman' with one bottom bait and one pop-up.
6. If you are NOT fishing snaggy swims, refine your terminal tackle and go for 8-10 lb long nylon traces. Match your bait to the hook size, always keeping it as fine as practical. A size 8 wide gape hook is normally fine for double 15 mm hookbaits, but go down to size 10 and 12s for smaller offerings.
7. It might be hard to do, but discard big heavy semi-fixed bolt rigs over the weeks ahead. Try 1-2 oz running leads instead, depending on your distance fished.
8. Give your hookbait a boost by adding PVA bags of boilies, and break them up. Not everyone will agree, but I suggest you donât add pellets as you donât want the carp starting to favour those.
9. Bottom debris can start to be a pain, with dead weed and washed-in leaves, so pop-up boilies can start coming into their own now.
10. Iâve found carp on well-stocked waters often leave the margins as it gets colder, unless it's a deep venue. Be aware that you can find the odd bigger fish later on in the day or at night close in.
These quick December carp fishing tips were provided by Anglerâs Mail news editor Thomas Petch. He works on the most on-the-ball weekly news and catch reports section in UK angling.

O Parents of the "Social Front"!
Don't crush a Teenage Love

Don't make them sob in despair
For theirs is a kind of emotion,
So pure, so raw, so rare…
