The world is getting smaller for entrepreneurs, and that's a good thing. It gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to make an impact on more than just their businesses.
When my wife and I founded Levenger 25 years ago, we knew little about business but possessed two ingredients I consider essential for entrepreneurs—optimism and ignorance. (You definitely don't want to know too much, or you'll be afraid to start.) While we're still learning, we have grown wiser in some ways. One of them is knowing that for the kind of quality we demand in our products, we need to venture beyond our borders—and also appreciate what's in our backyard.

Twitter trolls Trump Jr. lumberjack pic
The New York Times ran a thoughtful style section profile of Donald Trump Jr. over the weekend, but it was centerpiece photo that Twitter seized upon.
The image showed the president's eldest son in the woods, sitting awkwardly on a stump. Instead of a suit, he's wearing a flannel shirt and what appears to be spanking new boots.
The first sentence of the Times piece reads, "Donald Trump Jr. is the Trump who has not always seemed at ease with being a Trump."
And if anything conveys unease, it's this Trump Jr. as Brawny photo.

From Wikipedia:
The Na Tcha Temple, built in 1888, is a Buddhist and Taoist temple in Macau dedicated to the worship of the deity Na Tcha. The small traditional Chinese temple is a simple, single chamber building measuring 8.4 meters (28 ft) long and 4.51 meters (14.8 ft) wide. The entrance porch opens to the temple building measuring 5 meters (16 ft) in depth. The building is painted gray, with few ornamentations, except for paintings on walls under the entrance porch. Na Tcha Temple is located behind the Ruins of St. Paul's, remains of a principal Jesuit cathedral in the region, serving as one of the best examples of Macau's multicultural identity. In 2005, the temple became one of the designated sites of the Historic Centre of Macau enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – The Chicago Fire play their last game of the season on Saturday at the Home Depot Center against Chivas USA. Some notes from Wednesday's training session as the Fire prepare for the end of their campaign.
Johnson trains with first team; de los Cobos undecided on starter
Rookie goalkeeper Sean Johnson (hyphema) trained for the third consecutive practice Wednesday, playing 'keeper for the Fire first team in an intra-squad scrimmage.
Andrew Dykstra – who started the Fire's first 14 games – played the last three games in Johnson's stead, recording two shutouts. Dykstra trained with the second team on Wednesday.
"Right now, I think Andrew is doing a very good job," Fire head coach Carlos de los Cobos said. "But we need to talk with Sean and see how he feels. He's only been training a few days after he was out two, three weeks out so we need to know how confident he is to play."
Johnson told MLSsoccer.com that he feels good and will be ready to play on Saturday.
McBride misses training; might not play on Saturday
Retiring forward Brian McBride missed Wednesday's practice with a stomach ailment. The veteran striker will make the trip to LA for Saturday's match, but might not be in de los Cobos' starting XI.
"This is the last opportunity Brian has to play," de los Cobos said. "Maybe he won't start but he'll [at least be] on the bench and a possibility to play."
Designated Players Freddie Ljungberg and Nery Castillo were the first-team forwards on Wednesday.
Injury roundup
Forward Collins John (undisclosed illness), midfielder Mike Banner (bilateral Achilles tendinitis) and defenders Gonzalo Segares (right quad strain) and Dasan Robinson (left quad strain) all missed training on Wednesday.
Robinson is listed as out on the team's injury report while Segares and Banner are doubtful. John doesn't appear on the injury list.
Segares – the only regular starter of the aforementioned four players – was replaced in Wednesday's first-team lineup by left back Krzysztof Krol.

Through analysis of President Lincoln's attitudes and actions before and during the Civil War, and correspondence, speeches, legislative orders, newspaper articles, and letters written by African Americans, enslaved and free, workshop participants debate the influences prompting Emancipation.

text: Review of the Liturgical Press Roman Missal The new Roman Missals for the altar have started to arrive so as we unpack them we're writing reviews of each one so you can decide which one you really want to get. We have also created a Roman Missal comparison chart that lists EVERY available altar missal and the major features of each. We don't have all the information yet but as the missals arrive we are filling in the blanks. Liturgical Press has been publishing ritual books and other worship resources for several decades. The ritual books have always had a distinct 1970's styling that they unfortunately have not broken away from with their new altar missal. To start this review I have to say that as a bookstore I was very happy that the book ships in its own box. Some of the missals we have received only get shrink wrap for protection. Upon opening the box we were greeted with an...icon? I assume that it is Christ the King but several people commented that it looks like a monkey. The book appears to be well-bound and the gilding is nice. I also was happy with the size of the tabs. Even on the chapel edition they are large enough to actually use. One of the other missals from a different publisher has tabs that are ridiculously small on the chapel size. Turning to the inside cover we were greeted with a 1970's stylized Benedictine cross. There's something about that era that always says "dated" instead of "timeless". Both the Liturgical Press altar and chapel editions appear to be exactly the same except for the size. The altar missal is under eight pounds so it can be held much more easily by smaller altar servers. The art inside the missal was done by a Benedictine monk. When I first went through the missal I thought that the illustrations were done by a group of artists all trying to stay loosely within the same style. Some of the illustrations, like the ones for All Saints and the Epiphany look almost like medieval woodcuts while the title page and Roman Canon illustrations look like 1970's missalette covers. It's unfortunate that there wasn't more consistency in the images. The text in the missal is clear and the pages are thick enough so that you aren't distracted by the text on the back side. Some missals use heavier paper for the ordinary of the Mass but this missal has a heavy paper throughout. Maybe I've been spoiled by looking at the Magnificat missal first, but the thing that struck me most about the typeset is how plain it is. Apart from some larger drop cap letters at the beginning of some of the major sections (the Sanctus, beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer, the Creed, etc.), nothing was done to make the pages of the missal beautiful. I guess on the plus side it is extremely easy to read. Overall, Several of the other missals are more beautiful but still in the same price range. The one thing that makes this missal especially nice is the weight of the altar edition.

For Emma Ste. Marie, the typical academic year doesn't last from September through May. Since her first year at Emmanuel, she has spent the majority of her summers on campus in the state-of-the-art Wilkens Science Center, conducting research with other chemistry majors in the lab of Professor Faina Ryvkin.
Emmanuel offers undergraduates a number of research positions in the summer months, providing housing in the residence halls, a stipend and the chance to work side-by-side with faculty members in their disciplines. While Emma acknowledges it is difficult to spend so much time away from her family, who are located in Troy, Vt., she knows taking opportunities to advance her studies will give her an additional edge after graduation.
"The benefits definitely outweigh the negatives," she said. "I love what I'm doing and there aren't a lot of options for summer work in my hometown. By staying at Emmanuel, I feel like I'm helping to advance my career first and foremost."
Along with her cohort in the lab, Emma's work is centered on purifying specific enzymes based on literature that dates back nearly 50 years. In April 2013, she, Professor Ryvkin and Conor Gomes '15 were given the opportunity to present some of their research during the American Chemical Society's national meeting in New Orleans, La.
"It's really exciting to have our work recognized," she said. "That's the goal--to keep publishing, presenting and building my résumé."

Cowboys 2009 Opponents And My Predictions
Well I have decided to list our 2009 opponents and my win and loss predictions even if the case is that the dates have not been released for the games.
New York Giants-W
Philadelphia Eagles-W
Washington Redskins-L
Atlanta Falcons-W
Carolina Panthers-L
Seattle Seahawks-W
Oakland Raiders-W
San Diego Chargers- L
New York Giants-L
Philadelphia Eagles-W
Washington Redskins-W
New Orleans Saints-W
Tampa Bay Buccaners-W
Green Bay Packers-L
Denver Broncos-W
Kansas City Chiefs-W
My predicted record: 11-5.
I see us sweeping Philly because our rivalry with them hit a new high at the end of last season. Well for the 5 losses I predict let me explain those to you. Washington will beat us at home because they are our toughest divison opponents ever no matter what the records of either are or what players are on the teams and I just see that being our first loss at our new stadium.
Carolina I dont think that we will be able to contain Steve Smith and DeAngelo Williams because Carolina mixes the pass and run so fluidly in my opinion.
San Diego only one name needs to be said Darren Sproiles, I believe he is just to quick and elusive and will tear us apart because he is not some over-hyped running back like we usually face and stop.
New York Giants just dont think we can sweep them this year cant really explain why though but I do know that Chris Canty is one reason.
Green Bay they just always pose a threat and it is one of our greatest non-divisonal rivals and we've beat them the past two years and I just feel that they will have our number this year.
Well thats how I feel about 2009. Let me know how you feel about my opinion and what your opinion is by commenting. I look foward to seeing what you guys think.

From 2006-2011, homicide rates in the U.S. declined, and it seemed as if the nation had at long last brought under control the surge of violent crime that began in the late 1960s.
However, in 2012, homicide figures for the U.S increased, and some cities like Chicago positively exploded in violence in calendar year 2012.
The national homicide statistics for 2013 have not yet been released by the Justice Department, but evidence from around the nation both in 2013 and 2014 indicate that violent crime may be enjoying a resurgence.
So, it is appropriate to ask what should be done at both the local and state levels here in Kansas in response to the nation's continuing problem of crime.
Looking first at what does work in fighting crime, what is interesting is the sorts of programs that are effective are well-documented, and if they are not implemented more often it is because of political problems.
First, if you are going to respond to a crime surge you need to have your police forces fully staffed — the success of Mayor Rudy Guiliani in New York City in 1993-2001 in curbing that city's crime problem owes a lot more to his increases in the size of the NYPD than to any controversial programs like "Stop and Frisk."
Leavenworth's Police Department has often been below strength in recent years — the city should be sure the department has the full complement of officers it needs. Second, there is a need for programs to cut recidivism among prison inmates.
"Lock Them Up and Throw Away the Key" makes a good bumper sticker — but the fact remains that 95 percent of the men and women in prison will be released eventually. If steps are not taken to give these released inmates the skills necessary to function in society they will likely again victimize innocent people.
Around the nation, states that have the most job training and counseling programs for inmates have the lowest recidivism rates, and not coincidentally, the lowest crime rates. Now, both of these programs are controversial — a lot of the politicians who love to say that they are "tough on crime" are also very reluctant to raise taxes so as to expand police forces, and programs for inmates lead to inevitable charges that "the state is coddling criminals."
But, these are the sorts of programs that work, and if people want lower crime rates these are the steps they have to take.
A second interesting aspect about fighting crime is that the popular programs for fighting crime are also the ones that do not work.
First, let us look at that hardly perennial issue, the death penalty. Now, I will be a good political scientist and freely acknowledge that, if we were willing to execute hundreds and hundreds of people a year here in the U.S., that it would make a big difference in reducing crime. That has been the result in other nations that made liberal use of the death penalty.
However, and this is the sticking point, as a nation we also do not want to execute innocent people, so we have an elaborate appeals process for the death penalty that greatly reduces the number of executions.
If we want to take our chances with executing innocent people and greatly shorten the appeals process so that we had lots of executions each year it would reduce crime, but we as a nation have said quite emphatically that option is not acceptable.
So, the way the death penalty is in fact administered here in the U.S., where we have at most a few dozen executions per year, almost invariably decades after the murder has been committed, makes no real impact on reducing crime.
The other popular program for fighting crime is "three strikes and you're out." However, here again the implementation of this program in a number of states shows that it, too, is a fatally-flawed program.
The problem with this sort of program is simple: If you try to put too many people in prison, including large numbers of non-violent offenders, you end up not having enough prison capacity to keep imprisoned the really violent, dangerous individuals who actually do need to be separated from society indefinitely.
Put differently, when society insists on sending people like Martha Stewart to prison on a misguided notion that "no one should be above the law," it ends up having to release violent offenders to make room for people like her.
Like I say, what works and what does not work in fighting crime is pretty well established — it is very much to be hoped that state and local officials will ignore the temptation to engage in political posturing and instead take the steps that actually will reduce crime.
LV Times columnist: A litmus test for crime that actually works
From 2006-2011, homicide rates in the U.S. declined, and it seemed as if the nation had at long last brought under control the surge of violent crime that began in the late 1960s.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
The Rabid Whole - "Future"
Band Bio:
There's something to be said for fate in the music world. One moment you're left with the skeleton of a band, unsure when you'll be able to follow your calling again, the next you've got a whole new line-up, a brand new home, a stronger, more defined sound and are recording with some of the biggest names in the industry. This is the tale of The Rabid Whole.
Disenchanted with playing in bands whose music was un-challenging and run of the mill, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Andreas Weiss set out to remedy his predicament. Purchasing an arsenal of music and noise-making gadgets, he began writing songs for his own band's 2009 debut album, Autramaton.
Recruiting musicians along the way, the first incarnation of The Rabid Whole was solidified, releasing their first album and touring Canada, sharing the stage with the likes of The Birthday Massacre, Econoline Crush, Hinder, Apoptygma Berzerk, and 16Volt.
But that's when things began to take a turn. Following the departure of several band members, Weiss decided to leave his hometown of Regina, SK behind, taking a leap of faith and moving to Toronto, ON along with guitarist and founding member George Radutu.
Through some lucky online ads, he discovered drummer JJ Tartaglia and bass guitarist Oscar Anesetti while a Christmas trip back home to Regina put him face-to-face with Chalsey Noelle, a friend of a friend looking for a new career path after quitting her job. Wouldn't you know it -- Noelle was a talented keyboardist and vocalist.
Now, the new and improved Rabid Whole is set to release their second album, Refuge, on May 1, 2012. A direct reflection of the emotional and external changes of Weiss' journey, the album deals with relatable themes.
Isn't it time you fell down the rabid whole?

Watch out, MLS goalkeepers – field players are eyeing your hardware.
This week's Save of the Week contenders include not one, but two goal-line clearances by non-GKs, as Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura and Houston Dynamo fullback Kofi Sarkodie have earned nominations for their quick thinking in their team's victories on Sunday and Wednesday, respectively.
Nagamura shuffled into the goalmouth to deny Dynamo striker Jason Johnson's corner-kick header in the frantic final stages of Sporting's historic 1-0 win in Houston over the weekend. Sarkodie did much the same to Dwayne De Rosario in a similar scenario not once, but twice in Houston's 4-0 trouncing of D.C. United on May 8.
There's plenty of quality glovework to chose from too, however.
United 'keeper Bill Hamid has been nominated for his fine stop on Giles Barnes in Wednesday's losing effort, while Toronto FC's Joe Bendik got the nod for a leaping, backpedaling fingertips denial of San Jose Earthquakes Chris Wondolowski's angled chip. Meanwhile, Wondo's teammate Jon Busch is also in the running for the reflex save that denied Seattle's Lamar Neagle a hat trick at CenturyLink Field on Saturday.
Now it's up to you. Make your pick in the poll at right. Voting runs until 11:59 pm PT on Thursday.
Check out complete Save of the Week coverage — including a full archive of 2013 winners.

Behind the elaborate pastries and the perfect pies we see on TV shows, it's the simplicity of baking where the pleasure lies. We revisit a classic.
Baking has never been more popular and everyone wants a slice.
The truth is, though, that in some parts of the world, baking never went away. In some parts of the world, long walks end in buttered brown bread and huge mugs of tea. In some parts of the world, smoked salmon must be eaten with an oven-fresh loaf and a squeeze of lemon.
We happen to know where that part of the world is.
The Food Revolution sped through Ireland and its legacy is a tasty one. Ireland's chefs have always prized themselves on using fresh local produce, and this remains key to Ireland's culinary success. Foraging is a food trend favorite and County Clare's Burren Lamb is gracing plates from Clare to Canberra. Galway and Louth oysters are making their way steadily up the list of most delicious delicacies, and cafés and restaurants have embraced many contemporary cuisines.
But no matter how innovative chefs become, a country should always save space for the classics.
In Ireland's case, that classic is Soda Bread.
Good Food Ireland are passionate about Irish cuisine. When they recently quizzed Derek O'Brien, Principle of the National Bakery School Dublin, about the impact of baking's new-found popularity he was pleased to say the least:
"People are waking up to the smell of real bread again – I'm thrilled and delighted."
As O'Brien goes on to say, the mass production method for bread "was commercially developed after WWII to produce bread quickly and cheaply".
Emer Fallon manager and chef at Louis Mulcahy's Café on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, has placed freshly baked bread, cakes and tarts at the core of the café's menu. For Emer, the baking revolution is a happy return to basics.
"I think for a while Irish people were seduced by the lushness of white yeast breads," Emer tells us, "but there's been a huge swing back to our own native brown soda bread."
And why wouldn't there be. Ireland's best bread didn't become a national institution for nothing. Emer again:
"When you think about it – it's a complex carbohydrate, it's full of fibre, and it keeps you full for much longer than a slice of processed white bread would. It's also seriously delicious."
Soda bread often takes pride of place on the kitchen table in an Irish home, where the family gather round for a large cup of tea, and freshly baked bread topped with real Irish butter and locally produced blueberry jam. A B&B in Ireland may be the best place to experience the flavor of Irish soda bread. Irish B&B's are famous worldwide for their hospitality, where the B&B host will welcome guests with a mouth-watering Irish breakfast, and some fresh homemade goodies, such as scones and bread.

Until you get the chance to visit Ireland and enjoy the hospitality of an Irish B&B, why not bake your own Traditional Irish brown bread, which is super easy to make.
And to prove just that, we asked Good Food Ireland for a soda bread recipe as simple as it is delicious.
Ingredients (1 Loaf)
• 10oz wholemeal flour
• 9oz white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 280ml buttermilk
• 1 beaten egg
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375° F / Gas Mark 5
Sift together the flours, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add the buttermilk and beaten egg to the mix.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Shape into a round and place on a baking tray. Make a cross shape on top of the cake and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Serve slightly warm with real butter...delicious. Easy to make at home, but you can't beat real Irish soda bread. And there's only one place you'll get that.

Forreston set the tone early in the conference battle against the Marcos at home on Sept. 21, and Polo was never able to recover.
The Cards jumped ahead with a pair of scores in t he first five minutes of the game on their way to taking a 34 point lead into the half.
The running clock started early in the third quarter after Forreston's first of three second half scores as the Cardinals went on to take the game by a count of 55-0.
"They manhandled us upfront, so you have to hand it to them," said Polo coach Andrew Hofer. "They came in here with a plan and they executed it. We knew right where they were coming, we just couldn't stop it. They out-executed us tonight."
Forreston coach Denny Diduch said it was important for his team to come out of the gates playing a physical ballgame, and that helped get things moving in the right direction for the Cards.
"We thought from watching film that Polo was a real physical team, so we knew we had to match that or overwhelm it," said Diduch. "I think we rose to meet Polo's challenge, we had a couple of things go our way early, and it kind of snowballed from there."
The victory moved the Cards to 5-0 on the season, but they have a tough schedule ahead as they play a tough road game next week against 4-1 Le-Win and then finish off the season with another tough road match-up against undefeated E-PC.
In order to get where they want to be Diduch said the team needs to continue to work hard to prepare themselves for some quality competition.
"We could have ran though our tackles a bit better in the first half, our linebacker fills could have been a bit more aggressive," said Diduch. "Those are the things that make a difference in the close games. We definitely have things that we need to improve upon, and you need to just keep getting better each week because that's what all the other teams are doing."
The Marcos are on the other end of the spectrum as they dropped to 1-4 with the loss, and they have to regroup after a disappointing late score loss two weeks ago against Dakota and this loss to the Cardinals.
Polo has three winnable games out of their final four as they host Pecatonica and South Beloit, and they finish the season with a trip to Savanna to play West Carroll.
"Last week was a tough one for us, and it took a while for us to get the guys going again," said Hofer. "You have four games left and you just have to go. You have to focus on one game at a time. We just have to get back in and have a good week of practice and get ready for Pecatonica."
Forreston's scoring started on their first offensive play as Williams scampered down the visiting sideline for a 59 yard touchdown, and following a Robert DeVries interception Williams scored from five yards out four minutes later for a quick 14-0 advantage.
DeVries picked off his second pass late in the first period, and three plays later Bryan Kraft rumbled in from 20 yards out to increase the lead to 21-0.
The Cards finished off their first half scoring with a 18 yard run by quarterback Brett Carlson and a 37 yarder from Kraft, and going into the break they led by a score of 34-0.
Tylor Henneman got in on the scoring action for Forreston early in the third, scoring from 36 yards out, and Kraft added his third touchdown of the night on a 32 yard interception return for a touchdown to put the Cards up 48-0 with just over six minutes left in the third.
The final score of the night came from three yards out as Dalton Lewis broke free for the touchdown for the final score of 55-0.
Forreston handles Marcos in conference game Sept. 21
Forreston set the tone early in the conference battle against the Marcos at home on Sept. 21, and Polo was never able to recover.

You might consider ExportHtml available via Package Control. It sends your code to your web-browser, optionally directly to a print-preview version. It can keep your theme colours, or you can use a specific, printer-friendly,theme. It also works with a selection, as well as the entire view.
You can decide whether or not to include line numbers and can even add Annotations - HTML pop-up notes
Just another person stepping in to say I'd really like to see the printing feature to be added in future release!I purchased a license when version 2 released.
+1 Yeah, printing would be nice... nothing fancy, just in monoscript with document name and page number.
+1 for a print feature. All that is needed is a fixed font, and a way to specify the font size so that I can print out code that may go over 80 chars wide.Also if there is a way that this feature can be added via Python, please point us to the right API to use to implement it.
+1 for printing...
As I'm using SublimeText as an all-purpose text editor and I just pasted some text from SG Project into it so I could print the text, I was flabbergasted the print option was not available.
I had to go back to TextMate to be able to print it. Of course I could have used TextEdit as well but that program is even more dormant than TextMate lately.
So: +1 for printing.
Now I'm considering this: would I have bought SublimeText if I'd knew printing wasn't available? I think I would have stayed with TextMate. I'm now wondering what other surprises I might encounter: basic functionality I'd expect to exist with every text editor but for some reason missing from SublimeText. I think the SublimeText people should be honest and say "we don't support printing your documents" on the home page. I've mentioned this on the wikipedia page regarding SublimeText just seconds ago.
it's kindof a workaround but you can try installing the ExportHTML package - https://github.com/facelessuser/ExportHtmlthen you can view your document/selection in the browser or print it thourgh the browser.
Add my vote to the Add Print campaign
printing +1
+1 Printing.
Thanks for the great editor.
I would love a print option!
Having to cut and paste into another editor kinda makes me grumpy O,,,;,,,O
Please, add 'print' feature
+1 for printing.
Trying really hard to like this editor, but darn you are making it difficult.....please
I would also love this functionality. I use Sublime Text at work for taking notes and recording corrections for clients, and then have to use a different editor just to print the documents. This seems incredibly basic functionality to be missing. This is honestly one of the first 'programs' that I have used that did not any print command! Don't get me wrong I love it, but this inability to print is driving me bananas.
Quick printing - currently for Windows ONLY unless someone can advise me of the equivalent (dos) commands to the following:
os.system('net use lpt1 \\\\ANDYCOMPAQ\\PrimoPDF /persistent:yes')
os.system('type system_ex.txt > LPT1')
Note: This is an early draft; it works for me but please report any issues. Andy.
I've updated so that it will print the current selection (if any) and optionally add a page number at the bottom of the page.
The package setting for the printer is now called "printer_name" - which makes more sense
It would be nice if someone (on Windows) tried this out
Added: It may not accept a printer-name containing spaces currently. You could rename the printer temporarily without spaces.
My feature may now handle spaces in the printer name, and it *may *work with linux and/or osx - have no idea unless someone checks for me.
For linux and osx it should print to the default printer, or you can supply a "queue" setting to send output to a named-printer. (Again, spaces in the queue-name may not work.. yet.)
I've added some conditionals to make it work with non-Windows OSes, but I have no idea if these work unless someone advises me
There is also a "quick_print_reset" command for Windows (only) which reassigns LPT1 to the printer named in the package settings.
There is also a setting to use the full filename as a title at the top of the first page. Added: .. and to print line numbers.
This is cool On Windows you can add the setting "use_notepad": true. In which case it will not be necessary to configure your printer as it will use your default printer. (Notepad will flash-open and close.)
You will need to tweak Notepad's font-size, margins, etc., and this packages' settings for blank lines and page numbers, etc., will no longer be relevant. Unfortunately, we cannot control the number of lines to print per page as the formfeed character \f doesn't work with notepad. Added: Wordpad might be preferable as it probably understands the formfeed character and we can designate a printer.

by Marc Hequet
A church tries to be a welcoming place. How best, then, to welcome those with special needs, especially kids?
Monica Hammersten, '08, has made this question her focus. She leads a ministry for special-needs children and adults at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
Hammersten, a lifelong member of the congregation, now serves it as an associate pastor. Her son, Jack, 22, is autistic. And that is a key reason why special-needs ministry matters to her. "Advocating for and welcoming these kids and their families into God's house is my great pleasure and privilege," Hammersten says.
It's not a simple question to answer: How should congregations welcome people with special needs? What about those with Down's syndrome or autism, for example? What can members of a congregation do so that such individuals and their families feel welcome rather than excluded from worship, Sunday school and special events?
At Mount Olivet, Hammersten once encountered a mother who asked if the congregation had a classroom for special-needs children.
Hammersten was able to say, "Yes, Mount Olivet has a separate space for kids who are nonverbal." So the family felt welcome and returned. A congregation without such a program or special-needs room might have meant the family wouldn't return—and may not go to church at all.
But it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Some families may want children in a separate space, where special-needs kids can feel safe and protected. On the other hand, some families may want special-needs kids mainstreamed in Sunday school with other kids.
Where to begin? Mount Olivet's Sunday-school questionnaire asks about special needs. That's a good start, says Mary Hess, associate professor of educational leadership. Hess argues that children—all children—"should be at the heart of a congregation." The best way to begin, Hess adds, "is to listen carefully and deeply" to their families.
Hammersten resolutely agrees that special-needs individuals should participate fully as members of a congregation—if the family is willing. The family, argues Hammersten, must be able to choose what's best for the individual at church.
In mainstream Sunday school, some kids may need a volunteer aide to help one-on-one. Mainstreaming is a great way to go, if the family is OK with it. "We love that," Hammersten says, "because the 'typical' kids learn empathy and that a child with special needs is nothing to fear."
In such a setting, she adds, people can "learn and grow and love each other exactly as they are. We don't differentiate who has disabilities and who doesn't. We're all just friends hanging out together."
Indeed, Mount Olivet hosts three special-needs groups. When teenage members of the earliest group entered their 20s, they kept coming to the teen group. So Mount Olivet launched a 20-something group. Likewise, now there's a 30-something group.
In many cases, organizers pair what Hammersten calls "typical" kids with special-needs kids. Activities include movies, basketball, trips to restaurants, a Valentine's Day dance and summer trips to Cathedral of the Pines, Mount Olivet's camp 260 miles north of Minneapolis.
Speaking of Valentine's Day, two couples from the adult group have wed and two more are engaged, Hammersten says.
Beyond her own church, she guides other congregations in the matter of special-needs ministry. Congregations, she says, may be wary of creating and publicizing such a program. "People have a build-it-and-they-will-come fear," she notes. "What if all special-needs kids flock to their church? People fear they won't be able to handle it. They can."
And perhaps we must. Hammersten points to Matthew 25: "And the King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'"
"Parents of special-needs kids have spent their whole lives hearing people tell them, 'We're sorry, we'd love to welcome your child, we just don't have the resources to do so at this time,'" Hammersten says.
At Mount Olivet, "our goal is to say, 'Yes, we'd love to have your child. Welcome to God's house!'"
Your support ensures that future church leaders can pursue their call in ministry.

Patchy skin color is areas where the skin color is irregular. Mottling or mottled skin refers to blood vessel changes in the skin that cause a patchy appearance.
Alternative Names
Dyschromia; Mottling
Irregular or patchy discoloration of the skin can be caused by:
- Changes in
melanin, a substance produced in the skin cells that gives skin its color
- Growth of bacteria or other organisms on the skin
- Blood vessel (vascular) changes
The following can increase or decrease melanin production:
- Your genes
- Heat
- Injury
- Exposure to radiation (such as from the sun)
- Exposure to heavy metals
- Changes in hormone levels
Exposure to sun or ultraviolet (UV) light, especially after taking a medicine called psoralens, may increase skin color (pigmentation). Increased pigment production is called
Decreased pigment production is called hypopigmentation.
Skin color changes can be their own condition, or they may be caused by other medical conditions or disorders.
How much skin pigmentation you have can help determine which skin diseases you may be more likely to develop. For example, lighter-skinned people are more sensitive to sun exposure and damage, which raises the risk for skin cancers. However, too much sun exposure can lead to skin cancers even in darker-skinned people.
See also:
Basal cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma
Generally, skin color changes are cosmetic and do not affect physical health. However, mental
Common Causes
Cafe-au-lait spots Chloasma
- Cuts, scrapes, wounds, insect bites and minor skin infections
Erythrasma Melasma
- Melanoma
- Moles (
nevi), bathing trunk nevi, or giant nevi Mongolian blue spots Pityriasis alba Radiation therapy
- Rashes
- Sensitivity to the sun due to medication reactions or certain drugs
- Sunburn or suntan
- Unevenly applying sunscreen, leading to areas of burn, tan, and no tan
Home Care
Normal skin color may return on its own in some cases.
You may use lotions that bleach or lighten the skin to reduce discoloration or to even the skin tone where hypopigmented areas are large or very noticeable.
Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue), ketoconazole, or tolnaftate (Tinactin) lotion can help treat tinea versicolor. Apply as directed to the affected area daily until the discolored patches disappear. Tinea versicolor often returns, even with treatment.
You may use cosmetics or skin dyes to hide skin color changes. Makeup can also help hide mottled skin, but it will not cure the problem.
Avoid too much sun exposure and use sunblock. Hypopigmented skin sunburns easily, and hyperpigmented skin may get even darker. In darker-skinned people, skin damage may cause permanent
Call your health care provider if
Contact your doctor if:
- You have any lasting skin color changes that dont have a known cause
- You notice a new
moleor other growth
- An existing growth has changed color, size, or appearance
What to expect at your health care providers office
The doctor will carefully examine the skin and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
- When did the skin color change develop?
- Did it develop slowly or suddenly?
- Is it getting worse? How quickly?
- What is your normal skin color?
- Does the skin color change appear in more than one place?
- Have you had any injury to the skin (including
sunburnor frequent suntans)?
- Are you pregnant?
- What medications do you take?
- What medical treatments have you had?
- What other symptoms do you have?
Tests that may be done include:
- Scrapings of
skin lesions Skin biopsy Woods lamp(ultraviolet light) examination of the skin

Town of Traverse City, Michigan Makes Epic Lip Dub [VIDEO]
If you thought your hometown was pretty close-knit, wait until you see how the people of Traverse City, Michigan come together to make this epic lip dub video.
Giving their world record-setting neighbors in Grand Rapids a little friendly competition, Traverse City put out this 8 minute short film, that was featured at the Traverse City Film Festival and has started to go viral since it was posted on YouTube a few days ago.
The video starts off with everyone lip-syncing to Paul Simon's, 'You Can Call Me Al' before switching over to Van Halen's, 'Jump,' all the while taking you, the viewer, on a tour of their beautiful town. The final product is quite impressive and it looks like the Traversians had a lot of fun making this film.

The Journal of Career and Technical Education (JCTE) is a non-profit, refereed, national publication of Omicron Tau Theta, the national, graduate honorary society of career and technical education. Manuscripts submitted for consideration by JCTE should focus on career and technical education philosophy, theory, or practice. Comprehensive reviews of literature and reports of research and methodology will be considered. All articles should relate to current issues and have direct implications for career and technical educators. It is intended that JCTE serve as a forum for discussion of philosophy, theory, practice, and issues in career and technical education. Manuscripts submitted for review should not have been published or be under current consideration for publication by other journals.
Publication Style
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5 th Edition (2001), is the standard of style for JCTE . Place figures and tables in the appropriate place in the manuscript. Underlining should not be used anywhere in the manuscript. Statistics and titles in the reference list should be italicized according to APA 5 th Edition Style. Manuscripts not adhering to the style manual will be returned to the authors without review.
Figures and Tables
Tables and figures should provide only information essential to understanding the article. Authors should avoid reporting the same information in both text and tables. In the preparation of tables and figures, authors should use APA guidelines for format and include the tables and figures in text where they should appear. Tables and figures are to be prepared as a part of the word processing file. Tables must be developed in columns using the table-formatting feature in the word processor so that they will translate to HTML. Each item in a table should be placed in an individual cell. Do not use tabs to format tables because they will not translate properly. Tables and figures will not be published on oversized or foldout sheets.
Submitting Manuscripts
Manuscripts accepted for publication normally may not exceed 20 pages of printed, double spaced text, including title page, abstract page, tables, figures, and references. Margins should be 1" all around and use Times New Roman 12-point for all text, tables, and figures. Use the line numbering feature of the word processor to number each line of the manuscript.
Electronic submissions are preferred, although mailed copies will be accepted. Submit the following:
- a separate title page with the manuscript title, author(s), institution(s), complete address(es), telephone number(s), and the author(s)' e-mail address(es); and
- one double-spaced copy of the manuscript with the abstract placed immediately after the manuscript title and the lines numbered; author(s) must ensure that all references to the author(s) and their institutions are removed from the manuscript according to APA guidelines to facilitate the double-blind peer review process; the abstract should succinctly describe the manuscript's contents and cannot exceed 960 characters and spaces (150 words).
The manuscript and title page can be submitted via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or it can be mailed on a 3.5" diskette or CD to Dr. Thomas Dobbins at the address on page 1. Diskettes become the property of JCTE and will not be returned. The electronic files must be in Microsoft Word format. The use of Rich Text Format (rtf) is acceptable.
Review and Publication
JCTE is published twice a year, spring (about June 1st for the hard copy) and fall (about December 1st for the hard copy). All accepted articles will be published in both traditional hard copy and in the electronic journal, which is currently available at the following case sensitive URL:
The review process for the Journal of Career and Technical Education normally requires six weeks to three months. The Editor will notify you as each stage in the review process is completed. The decision of the reviewers will be one of the following:
- Accept (publish as submitted, very minor editorial revisions may be needed - this is very rare for initial submissions);
- Accept Conditionally , with minor revisions (revisions are reviewed by editor, not resubmitted to review panel);
- Accept Conditionally with Major Revisions (revised manuscript will be sent back to the same reviewers for reconsideration);
- Reject but Invite Major Revision and Resubmission (fundamental changes are needed, and the revised manuscript will go back to the same reviewers for reconsideration-this is a very common decision on the initial review and should not be considered as a final rejection); or
- Reject the manuscript for JCTE (the manuscript will not be considered again).
The manuscript review process for JCTE is a "double-blind" peer review in that the reviewers are not informed of the identity of the author(s) and the author(s) are not informed of the identities of the reviewers. The reviewers of the manuscript are recognized scholars with appropriate professional and educational preparation and are selected for their specific expertise relative to the topic of the manuscript being reviewed. At least one of four reviewers on each manuscript must be a member of the JCTE Editorial Board. The final acceptance rate for JCTE is usually 35-45%. Authors who persevere through requested revisions are generally the authors whose manuscripts are eventually published in selective, refereed journals such as JCTE .
Book Reviews/Thematic Issues
Book reviews will also be considered for publication in the JCTE . Persons interested in publication of a book review should contact the Editor-Elect (see inside front cover, page 1). A thematic issue of the JCTE may be published at least once every two years. Themes for upcoming issues will be announced in both the hard copy and electronic journal.
- There are currently no refbacks.

HIMSS Analytics, the research arm of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), has recognized UC Davis Medical Center with its Stage 7 Award. The award represents attainment of the highest level on the HIMSS Electronic Medical Records Adoption Model, which is used to track EMR progress at hospitals and health systems around the nation and world. Stage 7 places the medical center in the top 1.8 percent of hospitals nationwide in terms of EMR use and represents an independent assessment of how well UC Davis has leveraged its clinical technology.
"There are more than 5,300 hospitals around the country, and many more internationally, that are working to integrate varying levels of EMR systems and associated clinical technologies," said Mike Minear, chief information officer for UC Davis Health System. "For UC Davis to be in the top 1.8 percent is amazing. It's not possible to reach the Stage 7 level of EMR adoption without all of our clinicians and supporting teams working together, and effectively using advanced technology to help deliver the best in patient care."
HIMSS Analytics developed its EMR Adoption Model as a way of evaluating the progress and effectiveness of electronic medical record systems for hospitals. The 8 stages (0 through 7) measure a hospital's implementation and utilization of information-technology applications to support clinical care. Stage 7represents an advanced patient-record environment, and to validate it requires a site visit by HIMSS officials, which took place in earlier this month.
"Stage 7 involves 139 discrete requirements that must be achieved prior to a site visit," said Minear. "The requirements for the EMR Adoption Model are not things done to simply win an award; these requirements are the most complete definition found anywhere to define how to effectively utilize modern information technology to support clinical care, and the clinicians delivering care."
The HIMSS Analytics site visit team included two executives from HIMSS, John Hoyt and John Daniels, both with extensive experience as chief information officers and other technology support roles. The team also included a volunteer reviewer, Paul Silka, who is the CMIO of Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and is an emergency physician. The HIMSS on-site review was a full day and included stops at the East 5 surgical unit, the emergency department, Health Information Management (HIM) department, radiology, the cardiothoracic intensive care unit and pharmacy. In each case, the surveyors spoke with nurses, pharmacists, physicians and other support staff, and asked in-depth questions about clinical workflows, clinician interaction, documentation and various EMR policies.
"UC Davis Medical Center operates in a paperless environment with any paper in use, such as code-blue documentation, scanned into the EMR within 30 minutes. In fact, the hospital deploys roaming scanning teams, going from unit to unit to verify that scanning is fast and accurate," said Hoyt, executive vice president of HIMSS Analytics in a press release.
Hoyt noted that the medical center relies on a team approach for IT governance, with nurse and physician champions actively involved in the process.
"This data-driven culture at UC Davis Medical Center is focused on education throughout the organization" added Hoyt, who also pointed favorably to the medical center's use of secondary data for clinical and business intelligence and research; its recognition and review of the impact of ICD-10 (the World Health Organization's medical classification list for signs, symptoms and external causes of injury or diseases) on the electronic health record; and UC Davis' use of telemedicine, health information exchange and other technologies to connect patients or patient information with specialists.
"This award is an independent assessment of how information technology (IT) has been deployed in UC Davis Medical Center to support clinicians and patient care," said Minear. "This level of EMR adoption can only be achieved if all elements of the organization work closely together and deliver excellence in the use of IT. This honor ultimately reflects our entire organization, one that focuses on better serving our patients. The Stage 7 award is a wonderful tribute to UC Davis' commitment to quality care and the improvement of clinical processes for the benefit of every patient."
UC Davis Medical Center is the 102nd hospital to be recognized with the Stage 7 award. It will be honored for the achievement at the 2013 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in New Orleans next March.

Slipknot Unleash 'Monster' of a Trailer
Just when you thought it was safe, Slipknot's back with another trailer. However, this one is not to promote the band's hits collection, 'Antennas to Hell.' Rather, it's a tease for something we don't quite know about yet.
The new trailer primarily shows the band rocking out onstage to the song 'Psychosocial,' with singer Corey Taylor proclaiming, "It is time for the family and friends to go psychosocial." Is this a clue to something down the road?
Where things get interesting though is at the end of the clip where the video promises, 'Something Monsterous Is Coming in 2013.' It also leads fans to the website, Slipknot1.com/monstermetal, which could be the reason for the "monsterous" misspelling. At present the site has nothing more than the same trailer and links to the band's social networking.
Is this a new label? Could it be the hint of a return to new music? Or does the mention of 'Social Monsters' in the middle of the social networking icons suggest that maybe a new mode of communication is coming? Time will tell. But in the interim, be sure to catch Slipknot's return to the U.S. this summer, headlining the Mayhem Festival.

I am in search of great ideas to design my new blog. Which blog do you girls like to visit and what content do you find appealing? I personaly like Ju Kneipp's blog.
Your favorite designer blog
I like Ginger Hewett's blog (www.gingersscrapsnpixels.blogspot.com) but that could be because I am part of her CT so I am a little biased. lol I also like Just So Scrappy, Crazy 4 Monograms & Sweet Pea Designs. They have wonderful kits & showcase as many of them as they can on their blogs.
Oh thank you for the inspiring suggestions!
Speaking from a strictly aesthetic and functional standpoint, I like the minimalism of Ju Kneipp's and Heidi Swapp's blogs: there isn't a lot of clutter and they are very straightforward. I get irritated by clutter a lot. Pretty much every blog that Kim listed I find to be cluttered.
I like blogs that have strong, straightforward navigation. I like blogs that are sleek and keep their graphics uniform. I like blogs that only have one side bar and a column for main content (it's the 3-column blogs that tend to look overly cluttered - I think that if you need 2 sidebars to hold all your stuff then you've got too much and should re-think what really needs to be there). I love blogs that let me view the archives by month and year, all the better if they list out the posts for the selected month, too. I like it when I don't have to go searching for the archives - especially if I am trying to dig up a blog train or freebie or tutorial. I like blogs with strong, well-used tags: if you're gonna have a blog train tag, tag ALL your blog trains and not just some of them!
I think Summertime Designs is very nice and well-designed, though the red on black colour scheme messes with my eyes and gives me a headache after a bit. DigiTee Designs has a nice clean look.
99% of the time, if there is music that auto-plays on the blog I will leave it and never ever return - I often am listening to music of my own while I browse the web and I find music on blogs to be a forceful invasion and downright rude.
Unless the blog has something fantastic on it, I won't bother with it if I find it cluttered or overly commercialized (honestly, I am a bit too picky with websites). I love the content on Delicious Scraps, which is why I suffer through the fact that the site is overly cluttered, internal and external links are not clearly defined, and I tend to get lost in it.
I think that if a designer wants to showcase their kits, they should put just a few previews up instead of lining a sidebar with 20 of them (or make a small slideshow that links to a page that does nothing else but showcase kits). I think that if a designer wants to list their favourites or tutorials and has a ton or wants to provide link-back buttons, then it is easy enough to make a specific page for it and link to it with a pretty graphic. If a blog is clean, I don't feel like the designer is being too pushy (with ads or music or tons and tons and tons of self-promotion), and I like their content, then I usually will seek out their favourites, tutorials, link-back buttons, etc on my own anyway. A couple of extra clicks is no big deal to me if it means that the main page stays clean and the blog is easy to navigate.
Wow, a lot of VERY useful information here, Mollie. Thank you so much! I tend to agree with everything you said. Never thought about putting music on my blog, what a weird idea, LOL!
Girls, what about the "about me" in the side bar, with a picture? Do you think it is a must? Do you find it more welcoming or is it just distracting you for nothing?
I really like it when bloggers have a dedicated "about me" page instead of a blurb on the sidebar (though, a picture of the blogger and their name on the sidebar is often nice touch). If I like the blog and the blogger, then I want more than just a tiny paragraph snippet about them. And if I don't like the blog or the blogger I wouldn't read the sidebar blurb anyway and it would just become more clutter. I LOVE it when bloggers post a picture and show their real face (something that I actually need to get around to doing on my own blogs lol) and use their real name. If they don't want to show their face or if they want to go by a handle, then I a feel very skeptical of them and their blog - their blog will not feel inviting to me and I will not feel like I have made a connection. When I find a blog that I want to revisit and keep tabs on, it's because I have been able to make some kind of personal connection, however small, with the blogger or their content.
I agree with Fran about being confident in yourself and your blog, whether you are having your blog for a business or just for your own pleasure. If you love you and think your stuff is good, then I am more likely to love you and think your stuff is good. And even if you've just tried something new and aren't sure about it, having the confidence that you made your very best effort will actually make a world of difference. Also, I like to visit blogs (of all kinds) where I know that the blogger is having a blast and loving what they are doing.
I have many, but some of them are: Just So Scrappy, Crazy-4-Monograms & A-Manda Creations, we all like & have the same styles!!

Runaway Bay, Jamaica Travel Guide
Runaway Bay Summary
- 80-90 degrees F (27-32 degrees C) beach weather year-round
- Excellent scuba diving
- 18-hole golf course The Club at Runaway Bay
- Two miles from Green Grotto Caves, a popular natural attraction
- One hour north of Bob Barley's Mausoleum at Nine Mile
- Tap water is safe to drink
- Lots of marijuana, everywhere -- though it's technically illegal (be careful)
- Remote location -- 30 minutes from the nightlife in Ocho Rios, one hour from Montego Bay
- Nothing outside of the resort areas is within walking distance
- Little lush natural beauty
- Prevalent drug culture (mostly pot and cocaine)
- Criminalized homosexuality (between men) and local hostility toward LGBT individuals
- Slight chance of hurricanes from June 1 to November 30
What It's Like
Most travelers to Jamaica want to stay at one of two types of destinations: a convenient megaresort area with big tourist attractions (Montego Bay and Ocho Rios), or a laid-back, off-the-beaten path tropical haven (Negril, Port Antonio, and the South Coast). Runaway Bay, located an hour west of Montego Bay and 30 minutes east of Ocho Rios, is neither. This growing resort area is too small to offer the same activities and attractions as a major megaresort destination, and it lacks the lush, natural beauty and charm of Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, or Negril. (Perhaps the name Runaway Bay is telling: This is a place that people leave. Competing legends assert that the area was either an escape route for runaway slaves, or the spot where the Spanish departed after losing to the British.) Still, it is home to a few worthwhile resorts, and a smattering of attractions: the Green Grotto Caves, an 18-hole golf course, and excellent scuba diving sites (including a shallow water shipwreck). But the "town" of Runaway Bay, comprised of a few banks and shopping centers, is a few minutes' drive from most resorts and not the kind of place most tourists would want to visit.
Where to Stay
Most resorts in Runaway Bay are located along a busy one-lane highway; it's not a good idea to try to walk anywhere outside the resorts. You're best off staying at either the Royal DeCameron Club Caribbean -- an affordable, low-key all-inclusive popular with families -- or the massive, beautifully landscaped Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica megaresort.
