Fundraising efforts for the $2.55 million community center building proposed for the Mills County Fairgrounds in Malvern got a major boost last week when the Vision Iowa board announced its intentions to award a $480,000 Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant to the project.
Pledges totaling $2.27 million have now been received for the project, leaving the Mills County Fairgrounds Building Committee $280,000 away from securing full funding for the project. The Vision Iowa grant comes with the stipulation that remaining funds be raised within 120 days.
DES MOINES - To say it's been a whirlwind two months for David Sieck, the newest member of the Iowa State Legislature, would be an understatement.
On Feb. 10, the Glenwood Republican easily defeated Democrat Steve Adams of Red Oak in a special election for the District 23 seat in the Iowa House of Representatives. A week later, the longtime farmer and former president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association was administered his oath of office at the state capitol.
He's been on the go ever since.
Sparks from a steel grinder are being blamed for a fire that destroyed a machine shed and kept area firefighters busy for more than two hours Monday afternoon.
Firefighters were summoned to 55007 237th Street north of Glenwood at about 1 p.m. to find the steel building already engulfed in flames.
William Rowe, owner of the property, was working with a steel grinder in the shed when he left for a few minutes only to return to find the building on fire, according to Glenwood Fire Chief Butch Fidler.
Officials at the YMCA of Greater Omaha are reviewing language of a proposed management agreement for Glenwood's outdoor aquatic center, projected to open in 2016.
"He (Glenwood city attorney Matt Woods) is working with our attorney on the draft. We should have something completed pretty soon for the city council to look at," YMCA of Greater Omaha President and CEO Len Romano said.
Two teens suspected of starting a March 15 fire that destroyed a house in Tabor are facing first-degree arson charges.
The two boys, both age 14, were being held in a Council Bluffs juvenile detention facility.
Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope said the boys were utilizing an aerosol spray can to get a "blow torch" effect while igniting fires inside and outside the house at 804 Main St.
Glenwood's Giving Garden has given away more than 24,000 pounds of fresh produce to over 500 families in Mills County in the past four years, with the numbers growing each year.
With the growth of the garden comes a need for more volunteers to perform a variety of tasks.
Mills County high school girls who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on their prom night attire have an opportunity to buy a gown for $25 through a special project that will benefit the Mills County Storehouse.
Kenkel Family Chiropractic is in the process of gathering "gently-used" prom dresses that can be tried on and purchased for $25. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the storehouse, which oversees operation of the county food pantry.
A capacity crowd filled the Glenwood City Council Chambers Tuesday, March 10, as citizens sounded off about the findings of an audit report that revealed a deficit of nearly $300,000 in the city's general fund balance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, and shortcomings in the city's day-to-day financial practices.
A space heater is being blamed for a fire that destroyed a mobile home in Silver City Thursday.
Firefighters from volunteer departments from Silver City, Glenwood and Oak Township responded to the residence at 300 Pearl St. around 9:30 a.m. When firefighters arrived on the scene the residence was "fully engulfed in flames," Silver City Volunteer Fire Department Chief Lynn Schrum said.
Firefighters battled the blaze for nearly an hour.
Mills County Conservation is preparing to build a 6,491 square-foot Environmental Education Center at Pony Creek Park.
The $1 million facility would be owned by Mills County, but managed and occupied by the Mills County Conservation Board.
Mills County Conservation director Jerad Getter said the environmental education center will provide education and serve as a valuable resource for both adults and children.

There is no point in beating about the bush. Though I found the Sachsgate incident in which Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand left obscene messages on Andrew Sachs's answering machine pretty repulsive, the subsequent furore struck me as over the top. Brand, having behaved badly, then behaved well, instantly resigning from his show and offering a full apology. I think that for many the incident merely provided a useful stick with which to beat the BBC by those who already loathed it.
Anyway, the other afternoon I found myself with a couple of hours to kill and, with little hope of a good time, for our own excellent Sukhdev Sandhu and most of the other film critics had given it a gleeful roasting, I bought a ticket to Brand's new film, Get Him to the Greek.
Brand plays a clapped-out, egotistical rock star (is there any other kind?), who has fallen spectacularly off the wagon. An anxious, overweight record company gofer has the task of getting him from London to LA for a comeback concert at the Greek Theatre and goes off the rails himself in a spectacular orgy of sex and drugs and rock and roll.
It is admittedly crude stuff, but it made me laugh – a lot. Brand memorably combines the obnoxious with moments that are genuinely endearing, while the happy ending would be applauded by any 12-step recovery programme, as both Brand and the poor sap who has become his partner in outrage get their lives back together again. Subtle it ain't, but lovers of rock music will find it hugely entertaining, and Brand is persuasive and funny as the wasted star. Others seem to agree: last week, despite the terrible reviews, it was top of the London box-office table.

That's why the owners can make this play. Very few players will have enough balls to consciously give up game checks, and even less players are gonna allow other players to fuck that up for them.
The 2017-2018 NFL Thread: Divisional Playoff Round. The best weekend of football
Welp, already feeling the issues without Lane Johnson.
Amazing how everyone quit running a spy on Cam which has been proven he struggles against.
Usage of McCafferey makes it really hard to spy him now.
Yeah McCaffery has been great as a decoy. Philly has had some awful offensive playcalling, Blount has been working lets not use him, ineffective runs to the outside no safety valve on passes.
Yeah, it's Carolina's game free.
That is why you use Blount, Philly likes to try to get fancy when they don't need to.
I'll say this, and I hate saying this sort of thing, but the refs are out for blood against Philly. I was fine with the PI, but the other penalties have been some shaky shit, and then Blount gets no-called after they called Unsportsmanlike Conduct on him for an extremely similar play.
Yeah, but y'all got a badass QB though.
That's the damn truth.
Yeah that should have been a flag but the official didn't look interested in throwing it.
Great game right now. Some ref calls notwithstanding, definitely feels more MNF than TNF which is fantastic. I hope LK is okay though for Carolina. I mean as much as I would enjoy playing against their D without him flying around out there, ultimately the goal of this game for both teams is testing each other and getting out of here with no injuries.
Mills is killing that Philly defense, no reason to even get that PI, the receiver had no shot at it.
Kuechly, 3 concussions in 3 years…he might have to consider hanging them up.
Honestly if I'm Carolina I don't play him for at least 2-3 more games minimum.
They need to start playing McCaffery with those run plays. Stewart ain't getting it done. Would help with my fantasy too.
When you go 6 rushes for -9 yards…I mean, at that point you need to at least TRY something different.
I don't know how but I just gain more respect for Wentz every time I see him play. This kid has "Cero Miedo."
Wentz has learned "Accurate Deep Pass"
The League is in trouble.
Eagles are a PROBLEM.

U.S. Conference Of Mayors President Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter Issues Statement In Response To President Obama's Plan To Reduce Gun Violence
Jan 16, 2013, 03:24 EST
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Today President Obama and Vice President Biden unveiled a comprehensive set of concrete proposals that will help us to reduce the gun violence which occurs every day in our cities and prevent mass shootings like the one that occurred just over one month ago in Newtown, Connecticut.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110125/MM36443LOGO)
"Just three days after the Newtown tragedy occurred, the mayors of our three largest cities and other Conference of Mayors leaders sent an open letter to the President and the Congress, which urged immediate action.
"We called on the President to exercise his powers though Executive Order and on Congress to introduce and pass legislation to make reasonable changes in our gun laws and regulations. Specifically we called for universal background checks, a ban on both assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and strengthening the penalties for straw purchases of guns.
"Clearly the President listened to our call. We applaud him for issuing executive actions to reduce gun violence. And we applaud him for calling for critically needed legislation and urge Congress 'to do the right thing' and institute universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and strengthening penalties for gun trafficking.
"As mayors of major cities, many of us do all we can to reduce gun violence, but our efforts are too often thwarted by trafficking from other areas and states. The President's plan, which would institute background checks nationally and crack down on those who buy guns for the express purpose of turning around and selling them to criminals, will be an enormous help to us."
The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are 1,295 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.

See, it's not so much "The Higher Power" that I have a problem with, it's his typical followers.
They all talk the talk, but so few walk the walk.
So what is it that "athiests" believe in?I've always been a little confused by that.
natural creatures are not of equal value as they are usually considered to lack the reasoning ability of humans and therefore are inferior. Humans first.
It also seems to imply that God did not care about those who did perish.
There also seems to exist a confusion of a creation "God" or intervening "God" vs. a force, an order, natural presence of flow, what have you.
I am not saying that there is no higher being or anything (there has to be something out there) but if this "god" wants me to bow down and follow him based on faith, than I can't do that.
As for the question in your title, it seems you answered similarly with how I was planning to answer so there is not much more I can say. I can't agree with everything you said but this is one rare occasion where we agree more than usual.
Humanism entails a commitment to the search for truth and morality through human means in support of human interests. In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on belief without reason, the supernatural, or texts of allegedly divine origin.

I for one share the Buddhist beliefs that all life is sacred, however, when it
comes down to it, humans are first.
I would kill many, many animals to save your life, and any one else's, just as I expect other people should do.
It's about focusing on people and society and our civilization. About helping each other out to grow and live together. This is the most basic of societal cultures.
Putting animals equally would end animal testing. Animal testing has saved countless lives, and without it, our medical research would stop.
The speciesism of humanism is one of the things that makes posthumanism/transhumanism more appealing to me, but on the other hand, I don't feel humanism has fully run its course to allow transhumanism to progress as it ought.
Thus, only through the same means can the solution thought to be reached, such as animal testing. If it is to determine a cure for a human, then why not use a human for the testing?

Apparently, you need some education on this matter. It's not so simple and cut and dry as you are thinking. You think we can and should honestly do all the research and testing on humans? C'mon. How many people do you think we should kill off in the name of testing so that we can save others?
And as far as learning, are you really going to equate learning from to equality? Early, early humans might, MIGHT have gained survival knowledge from watching animals, but I'm sure you'll agree that those times are long, long gone. It doesn't mean an animal is smarter or equal to a person.
Tell me, how many animals would you kill to save another human life? Also, would that number go up if you knew that person?
[edit on 5/23/2008 by bigbert81]
So, basically your saying that humans can create a problem and then murder another form of life to further our own advancement towards a solution. Pretty ignorant if ya ask me. Your sayin that if a human hurts you that's bad, but if a human hurts you and you can gain benefit from hurting something else that it's justified?

Split fins, a type of diving funs, were released first during the 1990s by Nature's Wing® LLC. They created the split technology concept, developed and patented these fins, but they don't make the fins themselves. Its design came from studying tail structures of dolphins and whales. The designers then improvised so that humans can wear and use them comfortably.
Split fins are some of one of the best snorkelling fins products you will find for snorkeling and diving along with short fins and full foot fins.
The blade in these fins look split down the middle and so they may not look very efficient. But they are very efficient, because when you snorkel wearing one of these fins, you can make small flutter kicks, which will conserve your energy. Also, studies have indicated that these fins are 40% more efficient as compared to many paddle styles.
How It Works
The split forms two blades when you are kicking, and this deflects the water while you are slicing through. During the kick the blades work in such a way that it works like a propeller. Both the blades that are shaped like V twist independently at the correct angle to give you both thrust and lift. The side rails make the deflected water move towards the blades' tips. You are propelled forward due to this twin action. Further, the blades will adjust to your own personal kicking style. It also adjusts to the effort you give in every kick.
The split fin's design was radical, compared to length style traditional models. The traditional fins began to be called by a new name due to their introduction – paddle fins, because the single-blade construction can be compared to duck feet. The name has stayed ever since.
Paddle Design vs. Split Design
There is another difference between paddle design and split design, and that is in the effort you need to put. Paddle fins deflect water in a two-dimensional way. The solid base has triangular design. Side rails channel water to the blade's tip. However, your kick stroke has to be wider that what is needed for split fins, which means you have to use more muscles.
Initially, the new design faced problems as most people were used to the traditional fins. However gradually, many divers shifted to the best split fins because they appreciated the reduced effort of the kick. New divers, though, accepted them gladly.

INDIANAPOLIS - Scoring at will, grabbing boards and making a key steal, Danielle Adams saved her best game for the biggest stage and gave Texas A&M its first national championship.
Adams scored 22 of her 30 points in a dominating second half and answered Notre Dame basket-for-basket Tuesday to help the Aggies bring a title to the former all-male military academy with a thrilling, 76-70 victory.
"I knew they couldn't stop me inside so that's what I did, I took it inside," said Adams, who became the school's first All-American just a week ago.
No one was happier than Gary Blair, the outspoken A&M coach who hadn't been in the Final Four since 1998 when he was with Arkansas. Blair bluntly said it was a good thing that top powers like Connecticut, Tennessee and Stanford weren't in the title game.
"We don't give up," Blair said. "We might not play the prettiest game in the world but it's good for women's basketball to see a Texas A&M and a Notre Dame in this game."
And then his Aggies went out and proved him right in front of a pro-Irish crowd.
Tyra White added 18 points for A&M, including a huge 3-pointer as the shot clock buzzer sounded to put the Aggies up 73-68 with 1:07 left. She and her teammates then staved off a final, frantic push by the Fighting Irish and their sensational young star guard, Skylar Diggins.
The Aggies are a national championship newcomer and bullied their way through the tournament to get to the top. Like Notre Dame, they vanquished their conference rival on the way, beating Baylor in the Dallas regional final after losing to the Lady Bears three times during the season.
Adams, who struggled badly against Baylor, was up to the task and then some against Notre Dame, scoring the second-most points ever in an NCAA Division I women's championship game (Sheryl Swoopes had 47 in 1993).
"We did not find an answer for her," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "We had a plan. We just weren't able to stop her. She's just a great player. She's got a big body, and we couldn't get around her."
Both teams reached the championship by knocking off two No. 1 seeds. Notre Dame eliminated Tennessee in the regional final, then swept past Connecticut in Sunday's national semifinals, the first time one team has taken down those two women's basketball icons in the same tournament.
A&M also had two impressive wins to get here. After beating Baylor, the Aggies edged Stanford on Sunday.
It was the first title game without a No. 1 seed since 1994 and only the second overall. It also was the first final without either Connecticut or Tennessee since Maryland beat Duke in overtime for the 2006 championship.
And it turned out to be a good one.
After a back-and-forth first half, and with the Aggies trailing 48-43 early in the second half, Adams simply took over.
The 6-foot-1 center scored 10 of the next 13 points for the Aggies to give them a 56-53 lead midway through the second half. Texas A&M then extended the advantage to 64-57 behind the two Sydneys — Carter and Colson.
But Notre Dame wouldn't give up, battling back behind Diggins and Devereaux Peters. The Irish scored nine of the next 11 points to tie the game at 66 on Diggins' jumper with 3:56 left.
Blair went right to Adams on the next two possessions, and she delivered, hitting back-to-back layups. Adams hit nine of her first 10 shots in the second half.
After Peters' putback cut it to 70-68, White hit the huge 3. Diggins had two free throws with 40.7 seconds left, and the Irish had one last chance after a turnover by the Aggies with 29 seconds remaining.
McGraw called her final timeout, but Diggins turned it over in front of the bench. White hit two free throws to seal the win for A&M (33-5).
Diggins finished with 23 points and Peters added 21 and 11 rebounds for Notre Dame (31-8).

Greetings to everyone, first post here, grateful for the forum. I am in my 3rd season of having a IGP, its gunite with a blue marbleize 3m finish added. It is approximately 34k gallons, with a 8 person, spill over spa attached. I have a 4 cartridge type filter, heater and a SWG. I have also added a 12panel, Fafco solar heating system. Its a nice setup in my lil piece of the world out here in southern New Jersey.
Here are some photos of the construction of the pool, living in a high water table area, the hole filled with water and destabilized the lower portion of the earth walls, and with the time gaps between the various contractors, the skelton caved in. A couple of pizzas with the repair crew and my deep end is a bit bigger than plan!!
The forum is wonderful. Looking forward to being a part of the community.

This might not have been the clearest night for a declaration of who the Rangers will be. But it certainly said a lot about who they are not.
They are no longer the team that started this season not knowing how to take advantage of defensive lapses, the team that looked defensively lost in the face of high-powered offenses. All of that nonsense was left in the past on Wednesday night at the Garden, when the Rangers beat the East-leading Penguins, 5-1, allowing that early-season dysfunction to be of a seemingly bygone era.
"It's always fun when you get a chance to play against really good teams and measure yourself, where we are as a team and a group, " said goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who made 12 of his 28 saves in the first period, some of them spectacular, to allow his Rangers to settle in without a deficit. "The last two games, we played really well. We didn't get the result we wanted the other night [a 2-1 loss to the Ducks on Monday], but we did a lot of good things. Tonight, we got rewarded."
The reward was more than just this one game, and more than just the fact the Rangers (7-8-0) have now won five of their last seven. It's how they have gone about doing it, this one in particular by playing creatively in the offensive zone and poised in the defensive zone. The Penguins (11-5-0) came in on a four-game winning streak and are certainly not going to sneak up on anyone with their talent. But the Rangers kept Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Co. mostly in check, the only blemish being a Kris Letang power-play stuff-in when the Blueshirts already held a 3-0 advantage late in the second period.
"I think we made them defend," said Ryan McDonagh, answering coach Alain Vigenault's call for more offense from the back end when he opened the scoring in the waning minutes of the first period. "I think we're playing hockey a little bit more and playing to each other's strengths."
McDonagh's goal was only able to open the scoring because for the first 13 minutes, it was Lundqvist holding the Penguins off the board, not allowing their 10-2 shot advantage to translate to the scoreboard.
"That's what you need from your goaltender," Vigneault said. "They're an elite team. If they score there, that gives them momentum and puts us on our heels a little bit. But he makes some unreal saves and our guys feel real confident and we go from there."
It was Derek Stepan who followed McDonagh, netting a rising wrist shot off a wonderful touch pass from Mats Zuccarello, giving the Rangers a 2-0 lead with under a minute to play in the first. To open the second, Brian Boyle got his first of the season on a low wrist shot, and after Letang's goal, it was captain Ryan Callahan being the last to touch a double-deflection, beating Marc-Andre Fleury high glove side for a 4-1 lead.
"Everyone contributed right through the lineup," Callahan said. "That's what you need when you're playing one of the top teams in the league."
When Derick Brassard ended the evening's proceedings with a tap-in goal midway through the third, the Rangers already knew it was on to Columbus, another step in trying to find consistency.
"We have to focus on ourselves," Lundqvist said. "As long as we take care of our business here, we're going to be in good shape. I think that's our mindset, the whole year."

On the eve of the 2013 NFL draft, Summit has added Sean Combs and Terry Crews to the cast of the sports pic "Draft Day," starring Kevin Costner, and plans to film scenes at New York's Radio City Music Hall during the event starting on Thursday.
The remaining footage is expected to be shot in Cleveland.
The pic also stars Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary and Chadwick Boseman. Ivan Reitman is directing.
The story follows the manager of the Cleveland Browns who struggles to acquire the top draft pick for his team on the day of the draft.

"We shall have to stay here for the whole, boring week," he announced when at last coffee was on the table and they were alone. "There are certain obligations one's position obliges one to conform to. You understand, I expect. I will try to make the time as easy to bear for you as I can. Will you tell me what theaters you have not already seen? We can go somewhere every night, and in the daytime you have perhaps shopping to do; and—I know Paris quite well. I can amuse myself."
Zara did not feel enthusiastically grateful, but she said, "Thank you," in a quiet voice, and Tristram, rang the bell and asked for the list of the places of amusement, and in the most stiff, self-contained manner he chose, with her, a different one for every night.
Then he lit a cigar deliberately, and walked towards the door.
"Good-night, Milady," he said nonchalantly, and then went out.
And Zara sat still by the table and unconsciously pulled the petals off an unoffending rose; and when she realized what she had done she was aghast!
It was not until about five o'clock the next day that he came into the sitting-room again.
Milor had gone to the races, and had left a note for Miladi in the morning, the maid had said.
And Zara, as she lay back on her pillows, had opened it with a strange thrill.
"You won't be troubled with me to-day," she read. "I am going out with some old friends to Maisons Liafitte. I have said you want to rest from the journey, as one has to say something. I have arranged for us to dine at the Cafe de Paris at 7:30, and go to the Gymnase. Tell Higgins, my valet, if you change the plan." And the note was not even signed!
Well, it appeared she had nothing further to fear from him; she could breathe much relieved. And now for her day of quiet rest.
But when she had had her lonely lunch and her letters to her uncle and Mirko were written, she found herself drumming aimlessly on the window panes, and wondering if she would go out.
She had no friends in Paris whom she wanted to see. Her life there with her family had been entirely devoted to them alone. But it was a fine day and there is always something to do in Paris—though what then, particularly, she had not decided; perhaps she would go to the Louvre.
And then she sank down into the big sofa, opposite the blazing wood fire, and gradually fell fast asleep. She slept, with unbroken deepness, until late in the afternoon, and was, in fact, still asleep there when Tristram came in.
He did not see her at first; the lights were not on and it was almost dark in the streets. The fire, too, had burnt low. He came forward, and then went back again and switched on the lamps; and, with the blaze, Zara sat up and rubbed her eyes. One great plait of her hair had become loosened and fell at the side of her head, and she looked like a rosy, sleepy child.

The duo said the following back in March with respect to the album:
"So we've been in the studio every day working on new music for the album...In a lot of ways this has been 5 years in the making, We're taking our time to make it our absolute best and its close!

A local news columnist and a conservationist will air their views Tuesday about plans to privatize Westchester County Airport.
Journal News columnist David McKay Wilson and Carolyn Cunningham of Federated Conservationists are set to speak at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at the SUNY Purchase College Humanities Building theatre in Purchase.
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino wants to sell off $2 billion in County Airport revenues over 40 years for $150 million. It's a deal that Wilson, who is the Journal News Tax Watch columnist, has called a bad deal for taxpayers, with the projected "loss of tens of millions of dollars, and control over the county's aviation jewel up by Anderson Hill."
At Tuesday's talk, titled "The Perils of Privatization," you can hear Wilson's analysis of Astorino's deal, and its implications for taxpayers and the region's flyers. The discussion is co-sponsored by The Journal News/lohud and the Journalism and Environmental Studies boards of study at Purchase College.
Kicking off the talk with be Cunningham, a Rye resident who has a degree in environmental studies from Purchase. She'll talk about the history of the community's fight to control the airport inclduing a passenger cap and voluntary midnight curfew written into federal aviation statutes.
Wilson will explore the financial implications of giving up county control at the airport for the next four decades. He'll also talk about the important role journalists can play in influencing public policy.
Wilson's Nov. 13, 2016, Tax Watch column on the no-bid airport privatization deal -– which can be read by clicking here -- revealed the secret deal struck by Astorino with the infrastructure investment team at Oaktree Capital Management, one of the world's most prominent private equity firms.
A month later, the county Board of Legislators included the privitization deal in the county budget, even though the panel had decided to slow down the process. Citing the secret deal, and their desire to conduct a proper request-for-proposals, the county is now selecting a consultant who is expected to release a RFP this winter to see what the market would bear if they decided it was a good idea to move in that direction for the next 40 years.
Wilson's latest column over the county's secret master plan resulted in the county's pledge to have the tardy report completed by the end of April. He's now on a second round of Freedom of Information requests, and appeals to County Attorney Robert Meehan to obtain what so far has been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The talk will take place at Purchase College, which borders the airport. The college's Purchase Park2Fly operation has offered a cheaper alternative to parking at the airport's parking garage, which was privatized in 1994. Revenue from the Purchase parking initiative goes toward student scholarships, road and lot maintenance repairs, and general campus infrastructure.
It costs $30 a day to park at the airport terminal. Park2Fly charges $11 a day to park at Purchase College and get shuttled over to the terminal.
One of the key issues reported by Wilson is the county bonanza in 2024 when the parking garage is finally in public hands, with its $11 million in annual revenues. If the airport gets privatized, an estimated $350 million in parking revenues over 32 years will go to the private equity firm.

Situational Awareness Presentation
Incidents of violence at places of worship has increased over the past decade. In June 2015, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina lost nine of their congregants in a mass shooting during bible study. In March 2016, Pastor
Tim Remington was shot six times in the parking lot of his Idaho church after Sunday service. In light of tragic events like these, places of worship around the country are being forced to assess whether their staff would be prepared to recognize suspicious behavior and effectively respond to the warning signs?
"Do we have the training we need, and are things as secure as they should be?"
We offer a 1-2 hour situational awareness seminar designed to help places of worship answer these difficult questions. We teach simple steps on how to recognize and respond to suspicious behavior in the open door religious worship environment and introduce participants the key principles of the conversational interview technique. Through the use of lecture, discussions and practical exercises, training topics include:
- Trends in Violence at Places of Worship
- Biblical Safety Teaching
- Practical Case Studies
- Layered Security Concept
- Suspicious Activity Warning Signs
- How to Approach Suspicious Individuals

Eric Bana Strolls the West Village, New 'Closed Circuit' Clip!
Eric Bana looks hunky in a tight white tee while strolling around the West Village neighborhood on Saturday afternoon (August 17) in New York City.
The 45-year-old Australian actor's new film Closed Circuit will open in theaters on August 28 and a new clip was just released!
Here is the movie's synopsis: Following a mysterious explosion in a busy London market, the police swoop in, a suspect is detained, and the country prepares for one of the most high-profile trials in British history. Two exceptional lawyers (Bana and Rebecca Hall) with a romantic past step into a dangerous web of secrets and lies, and when evidence points to a possible British Secret Service cover up, it's not just their reputations but their lives that are at stake.

All I wanted to do was tell the cable company we're moving and need to put our telephone and TV in Maine on the seasonal plan for the next half-year. Should be easy enough to do, wouldn't you think?
Not so. All I managed to accomplish in 20 minutes of holding the phone and staring off into space was to learn how important my calls are. "We know your time is valuable, so we'll be with you as soon as possible," an automated female voice kept cooing into my ear.
It wasn't a complete wipeout. Another robo lady kept breaking in to feed me a motley set of factoids about everything from history and geography to war and peace. "Did you know the first log cabins made in America were built in 1638?" she inquired at one point.
I thought about that for a while. I don't suppose the people who moved into those had to worry about the seasonal plan for their cable TV. Staying alive in the midst of grizzly bears and hostile native warriors probably was a bigger concern than getting a decent HD signal. I was grateful though for having something to think about while my valuable time was running like sands through an hourglass, as they say on "Days of Lives."
Even more thought-provoking was her next pearl of wisdom. "Did you know," she asked, "that happiness increases by 11 percent on Fridays?"
That got me to thinking about 11 percent and happiness and Fridays, three things I rarely consider when my valuable time is not being wasted. But while I was lolling around the waiting room wasting time at a doctor's office the other day, I ran across a magazine article about John Lennon and happiness. When he was 5, he said, his teacher at school asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. Lennon told her he wanted to be happy. "I don't think you understand the question," she told him. "I don't think you understand life," he is said to have replied. Smart kid.
I Googled "happiness on Fridays" to learn more about the connection between the mood and the calendar. It turned out that a college professor had conducted a survey � or probably more accurately his students did � asking 64 people 18 to 62 which days of the week they found themselves happiest. Result? Friday and Saturday and the part of Sunday they hadn't started thinking yet about Monday beat the pants off the rest of the week, and especially Monday. Surprise, surprise!
The study subjects reportedly came from all sex groups and all ages, although I note that nobody over 62 gave a hang either way. That's probably because none of them were included in the poll, wouldn't you guess?
The researchers may have assumed that nobody over 62 is still working, and therefore look at one day as pretty much like another. My guess is that I would have made equally na�ve assumptions myself back when I was young enough to be a college student or a neophyte on the faculty. They'd probably be surprised to find how many people in their 70s and 80s are still grinding away.
I finally got through to some real live folks at the cable company. They turned out to be cordial and helpful, as real folks usually are. I told one of them I was happy they could shut off my service. No problem, he told me, he was happy to be of assistance.
We were both happy, and it wasn't even Friday.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It's Minnesota Bundt Day. Maybe you know that the iconic Bundt pan started out right here in St. Louis Park.
Nordic Ware started producing the pans in 1946 and in those 60 years, it has sold more than 65 million of them.
The Bundt pan really became popular in 1966, when a Tunnel of Fudge Cake won the Pillsbury Bake off that year.
Business is so good, Nordic Ware expanded its operations in the last few years to keep up with demand.

Section 12, II/52-II/60 Summary and Analysis
In "About the wife of Bernabo the Genoese," Rectitude recounts Boccaccio's "Decameron". When Bernabo praises his wife, Ambrose bets that he can seduce her. Ambrose steals her belt and purse, claiming it is a gift of her favor, and Bernabo orders a servant to kill his wife. She escapes and disguises herself as a male servant for Senor Ferant, named Sagurat. When she joins Senor Ferant in a visit to the sultan, the sultan hires Sagurat as his chief steward. On an errand for the sultan, Sagurat encounters Ambrose with her purse and learns of his betrayal. Sagurat asks the sultan to summon Bernabo and have Ambrose retell his story.

As featured on the #1 custom bike website www.bikeexif.com/nyc-norton/ In early 2014 we got a call from an overseas number on the shop phone.

He was calling from his home in a small country nestled in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. He had just purchased a pristine Norton Commando in the States and asked if we could add some performance and reliability mods to it before ... read more

Naked Speed | The Story of the School Bus Bike
One day in the spring of 2014 the shop phone rang. On the other end of the line was Dave Austin, a British car collector from upstate New York.

Turns out the bike was a 100% complete '71 Norton Commando. Dave wanted NYC Norton to do the "resurrection" on this one. The Cafe ... read more

(CBS News) NEW YORK - There are new signs of recovery in the housing market, and the signs say "sold."
American realtors reported Wednesday that sales of used homes shot up 6.5 percent last month. In fact, homes have been selling this summer at the fastest pace in six years.
What is not recovering in this economy is wages.
More than 1,500 people stood in line at the carpenters union in New York City just for a chance to land an apprenticeship. Some of the applicants were in line a week for jobs that start at $45 an hour.
"You're not going to be a doctor or a scientist; you can't beat this blue-collar job," said one job-seeker named James. "You know, this is a great job, and that's why there's lots and lots of people here because, you know, they just don't hand out jobs like this every day."
A majority of U.S. workers have experienced a decade of flat wages, according to new research by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.
It found the median weekly wage last year was $768. That's the same as 12 years earlier when adjusted for inflation. Over that same period, wages fell for 70 percent of workers.
Economists place much of the blame on a labor market that hasn't recovered from the Great Recession.
"I've had friends that went to four years of college, did four years of college, and graduated and waited years to even get a job," Craig Carr said.
He considers himself lucky. He waited on that carpenter line for three days back in 2007, before the recession hit. He's now earning $48 an hour.
"You're not living like a millionaire, but you're not looking to scrap ends to make ends meet," Carr said.
College graduates earn about $400 more per week than high-school graduates, but, according to that study, that number is shrinking too.

German architecture firm von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) has been commissioned to design the new southern railway station in Hangzhou.
The project involves the conversion and extension of the station in the Xiao Shan district to the south of the Qiantang river; after the eastern and main railway stations it will be the third largest railway station of this metropolis.
The base plinth consists of grey granite, the main building's white walls enclose the waiting room level which is framed by perforated vertical slats – a reference to the traditional Chinese window shutters.
Passengers enter the station through foyers to the east and west. The 200m long and 18m high waiting hall – with its free-spanning construction without columns and plentiful daylight – is said to offer passengers easy orientation.
gmp was also behind Tianjin West Railway Station which, following its completion in 2011, serves as a stop along the high-speed line between Beijing and Shanghai.

Hi, One of the WSG members has asked a question off list and he is quite correct. When uploading a file for validation from http://validator.w3.org/ or http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html we get the message: ----- Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type is text/plain, which is not currently supported by this service. The Content-Type field is sent by your web server (or web browser if you use the file upload interface) and depends on its configuration. Commonly, web servers will have a mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME Content-Type values (such as text/html). That you recieved this message can mean that your server is not configured correctly, that your file does not have the correct filename extension, or that you are attempting to validate a file type that we do not support yet. In the latter case you should let us know that you need us to support that content type (please include all relevant details, including the URL to the standards document defining the content type) using the instructions on the Feedback Page. ----- Heads up on the typo in "received" as well (I before E except after C). The pages we have tried are XHTML 1.0 (Transitional and Strict) and HTML 4.01 Transitional and have the file extensions .htm or .html (have tried various combinations). Should the validator not assume text/html instead of text/plain for an uploaded file? It is a mark-up validator after all so why not default to the most likely mime type? Now... Having tried a few things... I was using WinXP/IE 6 to do this (as most people do - EYODF) and surprise, surprise it works in FireBug 1.0PR. How are we to get the mainstream developers to do this if we lock the majority of them out of it with a very unhelpful error message? Or is it just a bug that you can rectify quickly? I'm more than a little concerned by this as it looks like browser favouritism (towards the boutique end) to me.
