The MSP is a tool used throughout the ELCA which is designed to be an introduction to the life and work of our congregation. The MSP is intended to be used by rostered leaders who may be searching out a new pastoral call. It is not intended to be an exhaustive description of every aspect of our ministry. It focuses on the key things that describe our church in order to pique the interest of prospective candidates for call.

If you took off Bane's mask, it would be extremely painful for you. But the pain wouldn't come from back-breaking, mind you. It would come from the endless laughter at what you see beneath that mask.
Take a peep for yourself after the break.
You want to know how we got these scars? Blame Austin Madison for making us laugh so hard. Thanks to Vulture for the link!
Let us know what you think Bane looks like under the mask in the comments or on Twitter!

Lord Peyton of Yeovil: I hope my noble friend will forgive me for interrupting. I am sorry about that but I want to be careful on this point. I hope my noble friend will make it clear whether the information to which he is referring will be published, or whether it will be reported to Parliament. I do not put the two on the same level.
Lord Henley: I mentioned the detailed information that will be available in the department's annual report. That, as I understand it, is always published and made available to Parliament. Parliament has a chance to scrutinise that annual report and certainly can find time to do so. I am sure that my noble friend will be the first so to do if he thinks it is necessary.
I shall continue with what I was saying on the National Audit Office. I stress that it, too, will have a right of access to the private lenders' operation of subsidised private sector loans. I appreciate that that does not go quite as far as parliamentary involvement before the signing of contracts, which is what my noble friend seeks. However, I hope the assurance that there are considerable safeguards through parliamentary scrutiny will be sufficient to satisfy my noble friend that we are going far enough. If, of course, my noble friend would prefer to have further discussions between this and another stage, obviously my door is more than open. However, I do not think that it would be right for Parliament to be involved in quite the manner that he suggests before the contracts are signed.
Baroness Lockwood: I think the Committee is in rather a difficult situation following the Minister's reply. The noble Lord, Lord Peyton, and the noble Baroness, Lady Park of Monmouth, spoke to all three amendments. The Minister, in effect, has said that he is not going to accept the tradition of the Chamber in linking the three amendments together, should the noble Lord, Lord Peyton, wish to press his first amendment. If that is so, I would hope that the noble Lord, Lord Peyton, would insist upon dealing individually with the three amendments because I think all three amendments are important ones.
I wish to respond to some of the other remarks the Minister made in relation to both Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 9 on the availability of information. It is
Lord Henley: On the second point the noble Baroness made about information being available outside the Chamber, I think Amendment No. 4 is directly related to parliamentary scrutiny. That is why I addressed my remarks to that subject. On the first point of the noble Baroness about my, in effect, ungrouping the three amendments, obviously if amendments which are grouped are consequential on the first amendment, it is the tradition that having accepted one in one form or another, one accepts the others. However, I think the noble Baroness will accept, if she looks at the three amendments, that they are contradictory. One amendment, for example, takes out the schedule; the next amends the schedule. So one cannot obviously accept all three at the same time. For that reason I was making it clear--I have every right to do so as the Minister responding--that I would obviously listen to the debate and would then make a decision on Amendment No. 4, but that does not bind me or the Chamber on the subsequent amendments which are not consequential on Amendment No. 4.
Lord Peyton of Yeovil: I really do complain when my noble friend says that the amendments are contradictory. They are nothing of the kind; they are just alternatives. The first suggestion I wanted to make was to bury the whole schedule. I did not expect the Government to accept that proposal with enthusiasm. Therefore I suggested as an alternative the very modest amendment about the methods of repayment. To say the amendments are contradictory is just nonsense and my noble friend should know that.
Lord Henley: If my noble friend says it is nonsense I take his point. But the noble Lord would accept that we cannot--as I think the noble Baroness seemed to be saying--accept the noble Lord's Amendment No. 4, and then take the other two. That would be a nonsense and everyone knows it. That is why I was making it clear that my position was that I did not feel bound by the decision of this Chamber on Amendment No. 4, nor should anyone else feel so bound. If the noble Baroness can find the usual paper that comes with the groupings, she will note that it states at the top,
Baroness Lockwood: I think it is in the interests of the Committee that important amendments such as these are discussed together if they are grouped. Clearly the Minister accepted the grouping in the first place, because I understand that the usual channels were involved.
Lord Henley: If the noble Baroness would give way, I accepted them at something like 1.20 p.m. so it was fairly late that they were put to me. I think in terms of the convenience of the House there is nothing wrong with discussing them together, but it was right that I made my position clear, and I suspect it is a position shared by the noble Baroness's friends on her Front Bench, that one cannot take all three together when it comes to making a decision.
Baroness Lockwood: I accept what the Minister is saying about these amendments. I reiterate that all three are very important amendments, but my main point is that the amendments have not been thoroughly aired individually and, therefore, I hope--and I expressed this hope in my earlier intervention--that the noble Lord, Lord Peyton, will exercise his right to bring them before the House again in due course as we reach them on the Marshalled List.
Lord Peyton of Yeovil: May I start on an agreeable note? First of all, I am very much obliged to my noble friend for his promise to make available in the next stage of the Bill a version of the schedule to the 1990 Act which will contain the amendments presently suggested by the Government, so that we will be able to understand with reasonable ease what the schedule was intended to mean in its new form. That would be helpful.
May I now address the points which were raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Lockwood? At the beginning of my remarks I did say, and I remind her now, that I thought it would be for the convenience of the Committee if I were to deal with all three amendments together. It would save me some breath and the Committee the weariness and tedium of listening to me repeating the same points three times, because, although they are clearly not intimately connected, at least they have some relationship to one another. Perhaps I may also make this clear. My present feeling, if my noble friend were to be gracious enough to go a bit further on Amendment No. 4, would be certainly not to move those amendments tonight. In fact, as they have come up at this hour I think it would be much more useful to move the subsequent amendments, or to put them down again for consideration on Report rather than now. My noble friend the Minister has said something about them and I would like to reflect upon them. I assure the noble Baroness that it is not my intention to drop them altogether.
Perhaps I may now return to the amendment to which I attached particular importance. I note all that my noble friend has said. There was a time when I began to be hopeful. But when he offered an alternative to a formal report to Parliament of the arrangements which they had made in pursuit of an authority conferred by Parliament, when he seemed to suggest that the information would
I do not want to use rough language to my noble friend, and I know the constrictions he is under from his advisers and his superiors. But let me beg him, because I do not wish to divide the House now, to say that between now and Report stage he will give this matter very serious consideration indeed and will ensure that those whose authority he is bound to acknowledge will lend an ear to what has been said; that they too will give some thought to this matter and will not go down the road that at least appears to suggest that they take the opinions of either House of Parliament lightly.
Lord Henley: I always take the opinion of my noble friend "heavily", if I can put it that way.
Lord Peyton of Yeovil: I did not say "my noble friend"; I said "my noble friend's superiors".

Reader Question: Non-Toxic Baby Stroller
Reader Madelyn P. writes: "Hello Mike, We are expecting a baby in a month and doing some stroller shopping. Recently we read a report in the German version of Consumer Reports that showed high levels of carcinogenic material in both the flame-retardant fabrics and the plasticized PVC rain cover of many strollers. It's been difficult to find any more information about non or less (!) carcinogenic strollers. Can you help at all? Thanks very very much! Kind regards, Madelyn." Non-poisonous products, isn't that the least we can ask? Especially baby strollers - kids will put their mouths anywhere. Any reader can help Madelyn? Please leave your tips in the comments.

Top 10 Ironman Triathletes
Written by: Catalogs.com Editorial Staff
August 5, 2011
Filed Under Sports
Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru
Ironman Triathlete.
It's really sort of redundant; anyone that can run a marathon after swimming 2.4 miles in open water and riding their bike for 112 miles is an ironman, period. While there are "mini-triathlons" that would merely maim the average person, ironman triathlons are reserved for the strongest (or most insane, depending on your point of view) among us.
So, who are these superheroes and heroines? The Top 10 Ironman Triathletes are as follows:
10. Erin Baker
Chalk one up for the good, old U.S.A. Erin kicks off our list of great ironman triathletes based on a couple of amazing stats. First, anytime you win in Hawaii you've accomplished something huge in the world of triathlons; she did it twice. Then, you add to that she won 9 other times, completing an amazing string of winning 85% of the triathlons (ironman and otherwise) she entered. What gambler wouldn't love those odds?
9. Heather Fuhr
She's since retired, but when Heather entered an ironman competition, chances were pretty good she was going to win, or at the least give everyone in the field a run for their money. As an Ironman World Champion and 9-time winner, she remains one of the greatest female; no, scratch that, one of the greatest ironman triathletes ever, period.
8. Thomas Hellriegel
Affectionately referred to as "hell on wheels", with a last name like that for one of the world's great ironman triathletes, you knew something like that was coming. And it's fitting; Thomas still holds the bike course record he set in Hawaii in 1996. He tore up the island averaging over 25 miles an hour for the 112 mile course. I've been stuck behind drivers on the freeway who weren't going that fast!
7. Joanna Lawn
Coming from a cyclist background gave Joanna Lawn a bit of a leg up on her competition in that area, and she used that to her advantage mercilessly against her opponents. As a 7-time ironman triathlon winner, Joanna was no stranger to the thrill of victory. She's probably gotten used to seeing her name on Top 10 lists like this too.
6. Peter Reid
It could be argued, and with good reason, that Peter Reid deserves an even higher spot on our Top 10 list. Winning 3 World Championships and 10 overall ironman titles provides some pretty good fodder to back up the argument. If not for his retirement in 2006, three short years after winning his last World Championship, he may very well have added to his list of accomplishments; and moved up the list a bit.
5. Dave Scott
hspace="10″ vspace="10″/>
One of the original star ironman triathletes, Dave Scott has won so many times I think even he lost count. Actually, Dave dominated the entire decade of the 80's, winning World Championships on six different occasions. While Mark Allen holds the record for the oldest winner (if you can call 37 old), he was nearly knocked off his perch by Dave Scott. Dave came out of retirement at the ripe old age of 40 and finished second in Hawaii. A couple years later at age 42, he still finished the most grueling race in the world 5th, running the marathon in 2:45!
4. Lori Bowden
Hail Canada! Ca-knuckle heads everywhere know Lori, as do most triathlon fans. One of the most popular athletes in the sport, Ms. Bowden earned her acclaim. She's won in Hawaii twice, and 12 times around the world. Four of her wins were under 9 hours, an incredible feat in and of itself, let alone doing it 4 times. Another first for Lori was being the first woman to break the 3 hour mark in the marathon. Again, this was after a 2.4 mile swim (in open water) and 112 mile bike tour of the countryside.
3. Mark Allen
Winning the Ironman Triathlon World Championships 6 times will pretty much guarantee a spot on any Top 10 list of ironman triathletes. And these came after losing 6 times; talk about a never say die attitude. As you may have guessed, ironman triathlons tend to be for the young and spry. One more record Mark holds may be as impressive as all the others; he is the oldest ironman winner ever, taking home the prize in 1995 at age 37.
2. Natascha Badmann
hspace="10″ vspace="10″/>
What is it about those Europeans? These folks take their ironman triathlons very seriously, as Natascha can attest. A biker extraordinaire, she was the first European to win in Hawaii, unanimously considered the pinnacle of the triathlon world. Apparently, Natascha enjoyed standing on the podium in Kona so much; she went ahead and won the event another 5 times. As an ironman triathlete, Ms. Badmann is nearly in a league of her own.
1. Luc Van Lierde
The first European to ever win the Ironman Triathlon World Championship, Luc picked up right where Mark Allen left off. In 1997 our man Luc struck gold in the European Ironman competition. With a time of 7:50:27, he set a world record that still stands all these years later. Can you imagine? After the swimming 2.4 miles and biking 112, he proceeds to clock a 2 hour, 36 minute (and change) marathon. Whoa.

The paved and stone-lined drain running along Brilliant Street is a natural watercourse. Somehow 'The Dooley' has withstood town development. She can run a banker during heavy rains as the catchment of the ironstone ridge (Black Prince Drive) drains, and water escapes to the black soil plains of the golf course.
According to our local author Gan Bruce, whose family has lived on the opal fields for nearly 100 years, a solitary Dooley Ward used to 'sit on the edge of the great gutter, playing his cornet to nobody in particular'. From 1916-20, he lived at the eastern edge of the village, about where the Walford's home is today, corner Brilliant & Morilla Streets.
However, the late Ted Dawson, who was a little boy here 1919-1924, recalls a Labor politician of the day named Dooley, who campaigned at Lightning Ridge, a memorable occasion for schoolboy Ted. Perhaps it was Mr Dooley, who stood on the banks of the little creek at the eastern edge of the village, jabbering 'to nobody in particular', rather than local resident, Dooley Ward, playing his cornet!
It is thanks to a 1990s community work program that erosion and the mud of the Dooley is minimal. Prior to improvement, you can be sure a child or two came to grief in those muddy waters on the way to school!

Until 1961, the Tree of Knowledge stood 'six inches off the centre of Morilla Street' at the intersection with Opal Street, says the late Bert 'Father' Cooper, resident for 50 years.
Snowy Brown named the landmark according to his eldest daughter, the late Olive Birk.
Brown was the first Justice of the Peace in the village, 1908. Court could not be held in the Hotel and the police paddock was diagonally opposed. Until there were facilities, legal decisions (and probably a few not-so-legal ones) were made around the Tree!
At this logical meeting place just outside the Imperial Hotel, known as the Digger's Rest since 1963 but burned down in April 2006, was a community notice board. It hung in the fork of the Tree and was lit by a hurricane lamp before electricity. The odd dozen eggs, also assorted parcels, might be left for collection at the base of the solitary bimbil box tree that got pretty scraggy and was losing limbs.
Council removed the well-known Tree of Knowledge without warning. Citizens of the day regret not replanting a tree – this may have been the first round about in the district! In 2006, there is a plan to place a token tree trunk with a commemorative plaque in the corner of the courthouse grounds. This could become a feature in our future of tourism.

Sherman Way is the extension of Pandora Street from the end of the town to the mineral baths. In 1996, this well travelled section was named to honour Sherman Opals' 100 years of opal buying.
Ernie Sherman, an Englishman, came to Australia in the 1890s and dealt in opal in White Cliffs during its heyday. He came to the Ridge in the boom of the 3-Mile and was the only continuous buyer during WWI. We read in the Walgett Spectator of his participation at Nettleton in those early years of mining.
Ernie based himself in Sydney after WWI and continued to liaise with miners at the Ridge. He married and they produced twins in 1921. Opal took him around the world, and over the years, Ernie brought other members of his family to Australia. We have a photo of him and his sister Bertha on the opal fields in 1924.
His son, the late Greg Sherman, remembers coming to Lightning Ridge as a teenager with his parents during the Depression. They stayed in the boarding house, known in the 1920s as the 'Big White House', and today as the Walford house. Greg joined the Air Force during WWII then went into the family business.
Ernie's grandsons, Warwick and Peter, naturally came into opal buying. Japan loved black opal and Sherman Opals specialized it and developed the market. When Greg retired in the late 1980s, he continued coming to the Sydney office, also a workspace for his interest in Air Force Reserve activities. Celebrating 100 years in 1996 was a grand achievement for the Sherman family!
Warwick withdrew from the family business in the late 1990s. Peter continues in the Castlereagh Street office and is a regular visitor in Harlequin Street, Lightning Ridge. It brings a smile to see the Sherman's Back Holden Ute out and about or to catch a glimpse of the trendy Peter at Wong's or up the street!
Sherman Opals has supported local miners in good times and bad for over 100 years. Since the Japanese economy faltered, the black opal specialists have diversified by linking with an established Queensland boulder opal dealer.

Pandora Street parallels Morilla Street, and before 1996, extended to the artesian bore baths. To celebrate 100 years of Sherman Opals, the stretch from the last houses to the baths was renamed Sherman Way.
The Pandora stone was named after a racehorse owned by Stoney Rowe. It was the largest opal of the day and mined in early 1928 on Angledool field east of Gem Street. Jack McNicol won the toss of a coin from his mate Fred Bodel, and struck it rich!
The Pandora just fit into a Capstan 100 cigarette tin (14x7 cm). It is described as a 790 ct, red on grey, and measured 4x2x1 inches thick! Harold Frazer cut it to 590 ct.
McNicol refused £1000 offered by Elsie & Hector Jenkins. The stone went to London and Berlin, but in 1935, it was stored in a Sydney safe deposit box when Jack announced that he might accept £1000! Another story is that he finally forfeited the stone when he couldn't pay the bank storage costs.
Someone said that McNicol was offered £1230 but refused it, eventually accepting £800! The Walgett Spectator, 15 July 1931, says that 'Taylor & Co, Sydney jewellers, will display the Pandora'.
We know McNicol was a groom on Angledool Station in the early 1930s. The late Marjorie Robertson Lydiard, the manager's daughter, reported that Jack carried the Pandora stone nestled in cotton wool in a Capstan cigarette tin in his hip pocket. He loved showing it off to anyone. He travelled in horse/sulky and raced the horse in local meetings. Marjorie thinks he eventually sold the Pandora for about £500.
A 1935 item interviews Jack. He said he left the Ridge for a few years, returned in about 1935, and was mining again near the old hole where Pandora was found. We read that John Prosper Ralston bought the stone after WWII. Where is it in 2006?

In the early 1920s, the late Ted Dawson, but a schoolboy, remembers that the full length of what we call Opal Street was known as Cleared Line or the Pony Fence track. The 'First Hill' (pre-school hill since 1979) is where some Aboriginal families lived. None of the children attended school at that time. 'The Big White House' (next to Festival Supermarket) was prominent and has been owned by Walfords since 1963.
In the mid 1960s, the road to Walgett still went up this track past the Walford house then 'White Hill', where artist Tex Moeckel was building the Bottle House. Dorothy & Jack Ezzy's 'Fern House' was adjacent. They were miners and traders of opal, had the hire car service and were ticket agents for Airlines of NSW. Nearby was 'Huck's' (Vivian Huckel) open-air opal cutting and polishing workshop, decorated with abandoned harness and bits found around the Ridge.
Known as 'Opal Village', this complex was the first stop for coaches coming to the Ridge for a fossicker's holiday. Next stop, was the Diggers Rest or was it vice versa? The Walk-in Mine was also on the agenda. Easter 1967 saw 35 coaches descend upon Lightning Ridge. How many will we see Easter 2007?

This huge, thrusting, three-pillared television tower has long been dubbed the Pražský pták, or 'Prague Prick', by local admirers. Seemingly modelled on a Soyuz rocket ready for blast-off, or maybe something out of Thunderbirds, it's been more of a hit with space-crazy visitors than with the locals. In recent years, it made a guest appearance in Blade II.
The tower was planned under the communists (who tore up part of the adjacent Jewish Cemetery to make room for it) and completed in early 1989. However, no sooner had it started operating in 1990 than it came under attack from nearby residents who claimed it was guilty of, among other things, jamming foreign radio waves and giving their children cancer. More than 20 TV channels broadcast from behind the white plastic shielding that defends against the elements, while transmitters lower down deal with radio stations and emergency services.
You can take a lift up to the eighth-floor viewing platform or have a drink in the fifth-floor café. However, in many ways standing at the base and looking up the 216m (709ft) of grey polished steel is an even more scary experience. The tower is also now the home of some public art, with several large black babies crawling on its exterior. The intriguing, rather disturbing Miminka are the work of Czech bad-boy artist and satirist David Černý.

Hi there, thank you for visiting A Books Eternal Glory, here is a little about me that you may want to know,
My name is Charlie and I'm from the UK, I'm 19 years old and I'm a huge England rugby fan and have been for the past 4 or so years. Since I was young I wanted to own my own business and write and publish a book and I'm currently working towards these goals, these goals always sat beside the dream of seeing the world which unfortunately has taken a back seat for a while.
I'm a huge fan of American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Forever, The Following and other random choices of TV shows. Even when the rugby games are over and the tv is off and my vocal chords now resting, you'll find me on my bed writing or reading with my music on repeat. I'm currently working on a great story and with the help of some great people, I'll be able to improve my skills.
I'm always up for a cup of tea and a good book so if you have any killer book and tea pairings then feel free to share them with me.
Welcome to A Books Eternal Glory, I hope to see you around.
- Charlie

AUTISM spectrum disorder is a condition which can affect communication skills and social interaction.
Here's everything you need to know about traits of those with ASD and the support available.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is three to four times more common in boys than in girls (stock image used)
What is autism spectrum disorder?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an incurable, lifelong developmental condition that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others.
It affects around one in 100 people in the UK and is three to four times more common in boys than in girls.
Many people with ASD find it hard to understand other people's feelings and emotions, and they may have difficulty holding conversations.
When they are young, their language development may take longer and they can struggle to use facial expressions, using gestures to communicate instead.
They may also find it hard to connect with other people and to hold eye contact with unfamiliar individuals.
Many children with ASD like to follow a routine, and changes to this can cause distress.
Autism is an incurable, lifelong developmental condition that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others
How is autism spectrum disorder tested during pregnancy?
There are no tests that are used to screen for ASD during pregnancy.
Symptoms are usually present before a child reaches the age of three, although a diagnosis can be made later in life.
To make an accurate assessment, information is usually drawn from GPs, nursery or school staff and speech and occupational therapists.
Physical examinations are often carried out in order to rule out other potential causes of the symptoms.
These health implications may also be triggered by underlying conditions including Down's syndrome or neurofibromatosis.
What are the symptoms of ASD?
The NHS outlines the signs of symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in school-age children.
Spoken language
preferring to avoid using spoken language
speech that sounds very monotonous or flat
speaking in pre-learned phrases, rather than putting together individual words to form new sentences
seeming to talk "at" people, rather than sharing a two-way conversation
Responding to others
taking people's speech literally and being unable to understand sarcasm, metaphors or figures of speech
reacting unusually negatively when asked to do something by someone else
Interacting with others
not being aware of other people's personal space, or being unusually intolerant of people entering their own personal space
little interest in interacting with other people, including children of a similar age, or having few close friends, despite attempts to form friendships
not understanding how people normally interact socially, such as greeting people or wishing them farewell
being unable to adapt the tone and content of their speech to different social situations – for example, speaking very formally at a party and then speaking to total strangers in a familiar way
not enjoying situations and activities that most children of their age enjoy
rarely using gestures or facial expressions when communicating
avoiding eye contact
repetitive movements, such as flapping their hands, rocking back and forth, or flicking their fingers
playing in a repetitive and unimaginative way, often preferring to play with objects rather than people
developing a highly specific interest in a particular subject or activity
preferring to have a familiar routine and getting very upset if there are changes to their normal routine
having a strong like or dislike of certain foods based on the texture or colour of the food as much as the taste
unusual sensory interests – for example, children with ASD may sniff toys, objects or people inappropriately
Currently there are no tests that are used to screen for ASD during pregnancy
Is there a cure for autism spectrum disorder?
There isn't a cure for autism, but there are a number of ways you can support those with it.
Speech and language therapists and educational support staff can help children and parents with day-to-day life.
Depending on the individual, there are a number of treatments that can treat symptoms or conditions associated with ASD, such as ADHD and sleeping problems.
What are the signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder?
One of the major traits of ASD is challenges with social interaction.
This can include language and communicative difficulties in children, including lack of eye contact and a struggle with body language and gestures.
They may show a lack of empathy with other's emotions and many need routine to feel comfortable.
Babies and small infants with ASD may not use vocal sounds or babbling to communicate.
Children with ASD may have language and communicative difficulties, including lack of eye contact and a struggle with body language (stock image used)
What causes autism spectrum disorder?
The exact cause is unknown, but can occur as a result of a number of genetic, environmental and unknown factors.
Many scientists think that a child inherits certain genes that make them more susceptible to ASD from their parents.
Other researchers claim these genes are only triggered if they are exposed to certain environmental factors.
Some of the possible causes are thought to be being born prematurely before 35 weeks of pregnancy and being exposed to alcohol in the womb.
Other theories include defects in the sensory nerves being the cause.
In the past, some have thought flu during pregnancy to be a cause, but this has been disproved in one study.
Other studies claim that children born to mums with allergies are more at risk of autism and ADHD.
And scientists in Denmark have found that the later you leave it to have kids, the higher the chance your baby will be diagnosed with this condition.

Mobile carrier Three has revealed that a staggering 97 per cent of all traffic on its network is data - leaving only 3 per cent for calls and texts.
With the tablet revolution in full swing, mobile broadband becoming the norm and smartphones more common than a square of green space on Clapham, we knew that mobile web access would be on the rise. But 97 per cent is a surprisingly massive ratio.
Three, of course, has its hands firmly dipped in the mobile broadband market with its Huawei Mi-Fi dongles on offer alongside USB dongles, as well as offering most of the latest smartphones and tablets with data contracts.
On the smartphone side, Three has reported a 427 per cent increase in data usage for users in the period June 2010 - September 2011.
"You know, back in 2003 when we began our journey as a 3G network, it felt at times like the technology we had at our fingers' tips was a bit Tomorrow's World," said Phil Sheppard, director of network strategy at Three UK.
"It was ahead of its time, and few knew how 3G and mobile data could really be relevant in people's lives particularly with a lack of decent handsets.
"Fast forward to today, in a market flooded with tablets and smartphones, and there can be no denying the importance of a reliable, powerful network like ours."

He Saw It Coming
The former Bushie who knew Iraq would go to pot.
Among the many remarks that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz no doubt wishes he hadn't made, the following, from prewar congressional testimony last February, stands out:
It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army. Hard to imagine.
It's one thing to be wrong. It's another to be incapable of imagining yourself wrong. Much of what has gone wrong in the Bush administration's postwar Iraq policy can be attributed to a failure of imagination. But there was no excuse for this particular failure. In the previous dozen years, U.S. armed forces had taken part in five major post-conflict nation-building exercises, four of them in predominantly Muslim nations. There is a record of what works and what doesn't. Had Wolfowitz studied the record, or talked with those who had, he wouldn't have made such a wrongheaded remark.
Through much of the Bush administration, Wolfowitz could merely have picked up the phone and called a colleague named James Dobbins.
Dobbins was Bush's special envoy to post-Taliban Afghanistan. Through the 1990s, under Presidents Clinton and (the first) Bush, Dobbins oversaw postwar reconstruction in Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, and Somalia. Now a policy director at the Washington office of the Rand Corp., he has co-authored a book, America's Role in Nation-Building: From Germany to Iraq (released just last week), which concludes—based on research done mainly before Gulf War II got under way—that nearly everything this administration has said and done about postwar Iraq is wrong.
One pertinent lesson Dobbins uncovered is that the key ingredient—the "most important determinant," as he puts it—of successful democratic nation-building in a country after wartime is not the country's history of Westernization, middle-class values, or experience with democracy, but rather the "level of effort" made by the foreign nation-builders, as measured in their troops, time, and money.
To see just how wrong Wolfowitz was, look at Dobbins' account of how many troops have been needed to create stability in previous postwar occupations. Kosovo is widely considered the most successful exercise in recent nation-building. Dobbins calculates that establishing a Kosovo-level occupation-force in Iraq (in terms of troops per capita) would require 526,000 troops through the year 2005. A Bosnia-level occupation would require 258,000 troops—which could be reduced to 145,000 by 2008. Yet there are currently only about 150,000 foreign (mainly American) troops in Iraq—about the same as the number that fought the war.
To match the stabilization effort in Kosovo, Iraq should also be protected by an international police force numbering 53,000. Yet those 150,000 soldiers now in Iraq are also doing double-duty as cops.
In other words, had Wolfowitz talked with Dobbins (or any other high-ranking officials who'd been involved in nation-building), he would have learned that stabilizing post-Saddam Iraq would take at least twice the number of forces that were being amassed to defeat Saddam's army.
Bringing in more troops and at least some police after the war would also have meant fewer American and Iraqi casualties. Dobbins is categorical on this point: "The highest levels of casualties have occurred in the operations with the lowest levels of U.S. troops." In fact, he adds, "Only when the number of stabilization troops has been low in comparison to the population"—such as in Somalia, Afghanistan, and now Iraq—"have U.S. forces suffered or inflicted significant casualties." By contrast, in Germany, Japan, Bosnia, and Kosovo—where troop levels were high—Americans suffered no postwar combat deaths.
The fact that Bush officials predicted a speedy military victory should have made them more cautious, not less so, about postwar deaths. Dobbins' historical data reveal that security has been the biggest problem after wars that end least destructively. "It seems," he writes, "that the more swift and bloodless the military victory, the more difficult post-conflict stabilization can be."
Money is also needed to build security and democracy. The Bush administration seems to know this all too well, as officials have declined to give Congress even loose estimates of the costs of reconstruction for Iraq. Dobbins calculates that to provide economic aid on a comparable level to what the allies gave postwar Kosovo would require $21 billion over the next two years—$36 billion if the aid were comparable to the Bosnia project. He also makes the point that, contrary to the administration's initial assumptions, Iraqi oil revenue alone will not be enough to foot the bill.
Time is equally important—a long time. One of the Bush administration's deepest, if most understandable, mistakes was its pledge to pull American troops out of Iraq very soon after the war. According to Dobbins, in no successful postwar nation-building effort have U.S. troops stayed for less than five years. (In fact, in every successful case, U.S. troops are still based there today, including in Germany and Japan, nearly 60 years after war's end.) Staying around for a long time doesn't guarantee success, Dobbins notes, but "leaving early ensures failure." The mere act of setting departure deadlines—and, with them, the expectation of imminent withdrawal and the assumption of shallow commitment—often prompts disaster.
Finally, Dobbins makes a jab at the administration's aversion to letting other countries, and especially the United Nations, in on Iraqi reconstruction. As a general rule, he concludes, "Multilateral nation-building is more complex and time-consuming than undertaking unilateral efforts, but is also considerably less expensive" and "can produce more thoroughgoing transformations" in the democratic process. For Iraq in particular, he notes that "a multilateral effort, particularly one coordinated under UN auspices, may defuse popular resentment in Iraq and in the Arab world against U.S. 'imperialism' and make it easier to ensure regional reconciliation and stability."
It seems, then, that the real problem with American nation-building is that American officials don't give it much thought, don't read up on its history, don't appear even to recognize that there is a history from which lessons can be learned. Paul Wolfowitz has a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. He's often portrayed as a deep thinker, the leader of a circle of national security intellectuals in and around the Bush administration. Their big mistake on postwar Iraq, it turns out, is that they failed to think.

Pauli's Adventure Island is an ode to familiarity and simplicity.
It's a mission of freedom, as our heroes are looking to free there home from invaders.
It's a colorful game; it is straightforward visually, with deliberate splashes of color: blues, greens, grays and more, working together, but not interfering with each other too much. The shapes are close to utilitarian, and the landscapes do the job of helping along the gameplay effectively. The animations are smooth, and the backgrounds change with progress, so it does not get too monotonous over extended periods of play. Overall, it reminds one of established console games of the same type, and that isn't a bad thing.
It's platformer merged with side-scrolling. Action moves from left to right, and the main idea is to get from Point A to Point B. But of course… there are several obstacles which are in the way, and as such, one needs to be able to navigate around these to move on. The configurable control set incorporates left and right virtual buttons to the bottom left, and a jump virtual button along with a virtual barrel roll button to the bottom right in its stock alignment. A lot of the baddies move, which adds an additional wrinkle. Jumping over is effective, but rolling into them generally gets rid of them. There are also gaps in the walkway, and areas that entail getting to a higher platform; for these, jumping is an adept way to get around.
And of course, there are collectibles that line the travel area. In-run life, starts and more can be collected, but one does have to weigh the risk against the reward: go the extra mile and get them, or speed up and get to the end of the stage?
Decisions, decisions…
The going gets tougher as one goes on, with heavier demands on reflexes and non-linear thinking. The travel way becomes more complex, making one have to double back and move relatively quickly, and then slow down, and back and forth. It even has a time trial element
The game is really easy to get into, and is fairly intuitive. For a free game, it's pretty fun to play.

Quick Reference
The explosive event that occurs when helium burning begins in the core of a low-mass star. The core must be dense enough for degeneracy effects to be important. A degenerate gas does not expand on heating, and is unable to cool through expansion in the way that a non-degenerate gas would. Thus, as helium begins to burn, the temperature rises rapidly, eventually becoming so high that the gas is no longer degenerate. At this point the core expands very rapidly, releasing its stored energy in less than 2 min.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS (WAOW) - With their offense sputtering the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters cashed in another stellar pitching performance by their staff to shut out the Madison Mallards 3-0 Monday night.
Mitch Running started for the Rafters (2-2) and battled through six scoreless innings. The righty walked four and put a Mallard on in each inning but he picked off one runner and his catcher Jenzen Torres caught two runners stealing to limit Madison's chances.
Harking back to the closers of old Steve Godawa picked up his fifth save of the season with three scoreless innings of relief. Godawa came on in the seventh with a runner on first and no outs, but induced a fielder's choice and double play to end the inning.
Godawa is most comfortable pitching only one inning, but the confidence Manager Scott Laverty has showed in his ability has helped Godawa to work multiple innings. "Lav told me there is no reason, with my three pitches, that I couldn't be effective multiple times through the line-up," Godawa said. "It also comes down to just having a positive mentality from inning to inning to know I can have success in longer outings."
The Rafters did not have a base runner off of Mallard's starter Matt LaMothe until the fifth. LaMothe couldn't come up with Evan Laude's ground ball back to the mound, opening the door just a crack and the Rafters ran through. After a fielder's choice to force Laude, Quinton Perry doubled off the wall in center to score Ryan Palermo and put the Rafters up 1-0.
Laude set the table again for two key insurance runs in the seventh. The Rafters first baseman walked to lead off the inning and moved up to second on a pass ball. Brad Hallberg singled him to third before Perry struck out. After an intentional walk to Jenzen Torres, eighth hitter Evan Peters bounced a base hit just over the glove of the short-stop into left-field to score one more. Torres eventually scored on a second Mallards error to set the final margin at 3-0.

Make the compote: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet; swirl to melt. Add the onions; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Uncover and add the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until the onions are glazed, about 1 more minute. Stir in the reserved bacon and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Grill the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Form the beef into four 1-inch-thick oblong patties and season with salt and pepper. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Meanwhile, toast the baguettes.
Serve the burgers on the baguettes; top with the gruyere, blue cheese, onion-bacon compote and arugula.

Black Tea Partiers to Protest NAACP National Convention in LA
Black tea partiers are planning a protest against the far left NAACP at their annual conference in Los Angeles.
The ROOT reported, via St. Louis Tea Party:
The black-led South Central L.A. Tea Party (whose motto is "Power to the People") is reportedly planning a protest against the NAACP at the organization's 102nd annual convention in Los Angeles on July 24. The group is headed up by the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, president of BOND Action (the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny).
Black Tea Partiers' specific gripes about the civil rights organization include that it's been "spreading lies" about racism in the Tea Party movement and promoting "black genocide" through its support of Planned Parenthood.
"The NAACP is a tool of the Obama administration," Peterson said. He added, "For decades this group has supported left-wing policies which have created dependency, destroyed black families and hurt race relations."

Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Lesson 22 of 26
Objective: SWBAT multiply decimals by decimals
The students will be completing 3 multiplication problems involving decimals and whole numbers. Students should work these problems out independently. Instruct students to do a HUSUPU to find a partner. Once with a partner, tell the students that they are to go over the problems using the steps they took to get to their answer. As students are doing this, walk around a listen for them to use the steps. "First, I stacked them up to make a multiplication problem, next I multiplied like normal, then I counted decimal places in my problem to put that many in my solution. I know my answer is reasonable because it matches my estimate". Students will benefit from having to explain their thinking and it helps drive home the "how" to do the problem. (SMP 1,2, 3, 6)

Resources (2)
I will be modeling for students how to multiply decimals by decimals. For each problem, I will estimate my answer first, then I will solve. My modeling will include thinking out loud and then having the student write down what I'm doing. As students are doing this, they will be instructed to pay attention to the steps so they can come up with their own rule for multiplying decimals by decimals.
Common misconceptions: students do not realize that there are several ways to represent multiplication problems. I will be addressing this as I go along. Each example represents a way they may see a multiplication problem in the future.
Resources (2)
Tell students that the class will be completing each problem together. Students will need to estimate their answer first (this helps with placement of the decimal), set up and then solve. When students have completed their problem, they can write it on the white board, and as a group have them reveal their answers. Ask students how they came up with their solution. Students should be able to tell you how they did the problem and this will help when they write the steps in their notes.
As you walk around, watch to see that students are modeling the problem as directed. It is not necessary to complete all practice problems. Do as many as you feel your group of students needs. When the students are ready, have them write down the steps to multiplying decimals by decimals (SMP 8). Students can do a think-pair-share to help facilitate this process. Once students have put their thoughts down, go over the steps with them to make sure they have it.
Resources (1)
Word Problems
Students will be applying what they know about multiplying decimals by decimals to the real world word problems. Before letting them work independently, tell them they will need to explain in words what they did and why they did for each problem. As they finish each problem, they will do a HUSUPU to go over that problem with a problem, using the "what" and "why" to facilitate conversation. (SMP 1,2,3,6)
- Circle key words that tell you it is a multiplication problem.
- Estimate your answer
- Find a solution
- Explain in words "what" you did and "why" you did it.
- Prove that your answer is correct.
After each problem, find a partner to share your reasoning and solution.
To make the HUSUPU move easier, have the students put the number of the problem they are working with on their finger. This way they can partner up with someone who is working on the same problem. Students should return to their seats when they are done sharing and start working on the next problem.
Resources (1)
Closure + Homework
Students will be working on a problem called the Domino worksheet. This is a nice activity to do because it is self checking. They start in box one and find the answer. The answer follows the arrow into the small box which then becomes the new number in the second big box. Now they have a new problem. They find the solution and the solution becomes the new number in the next box. Make sure students are following the arrows correctly. When the worksheet is complete, the students should have the answer in the circle at the end.
Remind students that they can still estimate their solution to help with decimal placement.
Students can work on this at home because they are able to tell if they are correct or not.
Tools: Domino worksheet 1 and 2

Quick Thoughts on the Opening
By Todd Harrison Nov 06, 2003 9:51 am
There's nothing wrong with a soft belly!
- Watch the financials as a proxy for the "rate hike" sentiment. If the perception of higher rates is what turns the tide, it'll first show up in the piggies.
- N's over S's.
- If you've got a Bloomberg, make sure you see the Fannie Mae (FNM:NYSE)/Abernathy article as well as the hard line chatter from Greg Mankiw, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors. More smoke.
- Breadth in the Nazz is flat and 3:2 negative on the big board.
- The Jinxy volatility continues.
- Is there anybody who isn't expecting a positive payroll report tomorrow? Are the bears waiting for that to short and is that too cute?
- The teletubbies are getting cocky.
- Europe remains firm.
- My belly remains soft.
- I'll be back.
