Kansas City, Kan. - October 12, 2017 - The Springfield College women's soccer program was recognized by the United Soccer Coaches for its dedication to academics as well as athletics, as the Pride was selected as a recipient for the 2017 College Team Academic Award. This marks the sixth-consecutive season that the Pride was recognized for its academic success.
The United Soccer Coaches annually recognizes college and high school soccer programs that have excelled in the classroom, in addition to their work on the field. Posting a cumulative GPA of 3.56, the Springfield College women's soccer program was one of four institutions within the the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) to be recognized.
A total of 842 soccer teams (296 men, 546 women) earned the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 2016-17 academic year. Among these programs are 210 schools, including Springfield College, which received honors for both their men and women's teams.
To qualify for the award, the team must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the entire academic year. The team GPA is determined by adding every player's GPA, then dividing by the number of players.
The Springfield College women's soccer program currently stands at 10-2-0 and will host Ohio Wesleyan on Friday, October 13 at 7 p.m. before returning to Brock-Affleck Field on Sunday, October 15 for a 12 p.m. contest with No. 4 Williams College.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Emo GF Sex is our site up for review today. This site takes emo girls, or whatever you want to call them (goth, punk, just plain pale) and puts them in front of a camera. Actually, I'm not sure if they really put them in front of the camera so much as pull content from around the web where girls already put themselves in front of the camera. You can see a good selection of solo nude/topless scenes, as well as a decent collection of hardcore/blowjob content as well. I wouldn't guess that the content is exclusive as they seem to have an amateur/homemade/webcam vibe to them that looks a little generic. $20 gets you in the door thanks to a special discount, and that also includes access to around nine bonus sites currently.
Kinda unique emo content.
Granted, at this point in the game, emo girls aren't quite that rare or anything, but if you like your girls pale and quirky, this site could work for you. Most scenes feature girls at least partially within the category. From there, you can find anything from topless webcam videos to more hardcore blowjob and fucking scenes as well.
Network access included.
Thankfully, they do include some bonus network sites with your membership here. It may not add up to a ton, but I think anything helps when you're looking at a smaller site like this that may not be updating. Expect around nine bonus sites with your membership, which is something at least.
Quality is real bad.
Nothing here comes in HD, which puts them behind the curve from the get go. Beyond that, because of the type of content, you're usually stuck with amateur cameras and lighting, or often times they look like webcams. Expect about as low of quality as you can get at times. Pictures come in quite small as well, sometimes under 500 pixels on the longest side.
Navigation is pretty plain.
The whole site is pretty plain overall. You just go in order, either browsing photos or videos, and that's really it. They don't have any type of category filter or search option to speak of, which would help find specific types of scenes here for sure.
Downloads aren't the best.
They offer just one video type (generally AVI's) in a single quality level, and that's it. I'd love to see more file types, more quality options, and just a more rounded selection of options here.
Doesn't appear to be updating anymore.
First off, nothing is dated here, so it's tough from the get go to tell when updates come. Second, though I don't see it anymore, there was a note up that they were no longer updating at one point it sounds like according to our staff. Keep a very close eye out for new content if that's something you definitely need.
Content seems generic, likely isn't exclusive.
It's tough to tell with material like this, but with such a wide variety and so much going on differently in one scene to the next, I'm going to guess it's not exclusive. A lot of it feels dated too, but that could just be from the amateur/webcam niche they have going on.
Minor Negatives:
A fun little niche site, but the generic content and lack of updates may hold many back.
Emo GF Sex offers up some cute babes here and there, especially if you like the socially-awkward kind. However, the content varies so much and is of such low quality at times that it's hard to get real excited about it. If the site were a ton larger with this type of material, maybe that would work. Or if they had their own exclusive stuff with super high quality, maybe I can see it. But as it stands now, there are just a few too many things holding this one back. With this type of material, I'd look for daily (or multiple daily) updates to really get some huge numbers going on. Other upgrades could include quality levels, download options, and navigation features. All in all, it may be worth a quick look if you love the stuff in the tour, but as a whole, I think it's below average quite a ways.

The act of hiding a bowl of feces in an unsuspecting victim's abode. Usually well-concealed to prevent discovery until the stench is unbearable. Extra points for hiding places that are above eye-level, as the victim will most likely reach into the bowl without seeing what is in it and pull back a shit-covered hand.
Bob was talking shit about my mom, so last night, I shit bowled that ass hole. I put it in a closet on top of the water heater so it will get extra hot and smelly.

Kayle Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
This is the first build I post :) It's exactly how I play with Kayle.
This build is mostly effective if you are MID Solo.
Hope you enjoy, any good comments are welcome.
Ignite: Use it whenever you can on enemy heros. (Gives you +10 Ability power)
Ghost: Usefull for chasing/escaping.
Reckoning: Use it whenever you can on enemy heros. It's your harass skill/slow.
Righteous Fury: Your farming ability. Use it on grouped creeps for tons of gold. With 40% Cooldown Reduction you can always be ranged (like 0.5 sec delay)
Divine Blessing: Good heal if you have enough mana. Otherwise I would keep it for the movement speed bonus, which is a + when chasing or backing. You should be one of the fastest heroes.
Intervention: With this build, you should be the carry, so you might want to use your ultimate on yourself most of the times. If it's not the case, you can also save teamates if you see they are running low and you are full hp.
GUIDE TO FIRST BLOOD: You must play aggresive.
As soon as the first wave comes out Ignite+Reckoning on the other hero. (His HP Should be at 2/3 or less) Keep harassing with Reckoning whenever you can. Don't try to hit the enemy with melee attacks, this will result in a failure, be patient. Once you get level 2, Reckoning+RighteousFury on the enemy hero. You should be able to get the first blood (3 games out of 5). You might also be badlucky (in a way) if the enemy survive and goes back to heal. But in any case either you have the kill or more experience than him. (If he does so, just get a lot of last hits on creeps for more gold with Righteous Fury) Try not backing until you have 1100 gold for Sorcerer's shoes and preferably 1520 so you can get a dagger too.
Whenever you can, kill the neutral creeps for the Cooldown Reduction buff. It's a must, get the buff whenever you can. Same thing for the Damage buff. If you have to choose between both, get blue first.
Have fun and show them that Kayle can be the top carry :)
See you in game,

I think I have caught some sort of illness. I have a bad case of compassion weary. I don't know if there is an actual medical term for what I have but I think I might need help. See everywhere I go I am asked for a donation, supplies, my time for a service project and a community effort to "give back". I feel bombarded on all sides; school, work, grocery stores and even random phone calls asking me to send in my charitable donation. It has caused me to grow a bit weary and to rethink the definition of what compassion really is.
We live in a country that speaks the language of compassion and the "give back" philosophy at every corner. Our Government seems to preach a sort of political gospel of giving to the less fortunate through taxation and level playing fields. We set up service projects in our local community to help those in need. Our children are now required to put in hours of community service as a part of their education plan to fulfill some sort of compassion quota. We are encouraged on all sides to help the less fortunate and it is becoming a way of life. Now don't get me wrong, I truly believe in helping others and I feel as a Christian I am commanded to give to the poor and to help those in need. However, are we really being compassionate or are we feeding some sort of self-centered need in us to show others that we are indeed thinking beyond ourselves?
I think compassion is more of a multi-faceted emotion than most of us (including myself) really haven't grasped. I think of the scriptures and the way Jesus asked people to help those in need. In many cases, He asked them to give up everything to the poor and then they would be rewarded in heaven. There is a great difference between being good and showing kindness from the act of compassion. True compassion is seeing others through the eyes of Christ and wanting to help alleviate their suffering. It is not what we give to others but what we give up in ourselves. It is a spiritual depth of emotion that drives us to help a person in need.
Giving to your local homeless shelter or supporting that local school with supplies is a wonderful thing. Writing that donation amount or even giving up your time for a community event is good. However, let's not confuse these things with the compassion Jesus talks about (the gut wrenching, giving up everything, self-less act of pure compassion). I think the point I am trying to make is let's not make compassion into a rote ritualistic responsibility. Don't let it be a political slogan or a party line vote. Our children should not be taught that compassion is a memo line on a report card or a resume, fulfilled by a specific amount of hours. We need to nurture an atmosphere of compassion where we are compelled to give from our hearts not our minds. Are we "giving back" because others will see our good deeds or are we alleviating suffering because something instinctual compels us to love our neighbor? True compassion is giving till it hurts while no one is watching because love is the compelling force.

The Medical genre covers everything from tracking your personal well-being to teaching you first aid. There is also a full range of apps that work with third-party devices, such as Bluetooth scales or blood-pressure monitors. Galileo, featured in a recent Apple video, lets people with prosthetic limbs control the prosthesis.
Symple – Symptom tracker and health diary
Symple Health
Symple is a powerful iPhone app that lets users track up to 20 different symptoms at once. It also functions as a health diary, to let you note the things you eat, daily exercise and medications you take.
The premise behind Symple is, well, simple. By tracking your symptoms and the factors that influence those symptoms, you can determine what is helping you and what is hurting you.
The beauty behind Symple is the quick data capture and the ability to track your symptoms in your words, not just by a score. Once the data has been collected, Symple provides attractive graphs that can merge factors and symptoms into one view to show you how they relate to each other.
Symple provides an option to create a PDF report, which can then be shared with your doctor to help with your diagnosis.
St John Ambulance Australia
The First Aid app is a must-have for all Australians. It was developed by St John Ambulance Australia which has experience training over 400,000 people in Australia each year.
According to St John, First Aid is Australia's only iPhone app that 'presents step-by-step emergency first aid information to the user with a large clear image for each step'.
At $4.49 it's not the cheapest first aid app on the App Store, but it covers a large range of topics and is likely the best.
St John Ambulance has also developed two other apps that may be worth your attention. Resuscitate, which is similar to the First Aid app but focuses on DRSABCD, a seven-stage plan for resuscitation, and MediProfiles, which lets you record and store your family and friends emergency medical information.
If you're a parent, you'll know that keeping track of your children's vaccination plan and history can be difficult.
Vaccination Scheduler is a handy app that makes keeping on top of vaccinations easy. Simply enter the name and age of each child, and the app will automatically calculate the next vaccination appointment date and send you a series of remind-
ers to prompt you to call to schedule an appointment.
The app comes pre-installed with every vaccination appointment for your child's first seven years and works for Australia, the US, UK and 94 other countries around the world. If a child requires additional vaccinations, they can be easily added.
One feature I love is the ability to automatically generate a PDF report of your child's vaccination history. This report is useful if you've ever had to register your child for childcare.

LED Wall Mount Fixtures
LED Wall Pack Lighting
LED wall packs provide the efficiency, longevity, and financial savings of LED technology anywhere you need light mounted to a wall. This can include the outside of a building overseeing a walkway or parking area, delivery bays, barn lights, and more.
Our LED wall pack lighting comes from several top brands along with our own, quality-built Standard brand at exceptional savings. And these wall packs come with a variety of options, like high CRI; color temperature options; lumen output; photocells; and more. They also come with or without cutoff (which helps to prevent light pollution), with both full and partial cutoff designs.
Our LED wall packs are rated to up to 100,000 hours of life, so even when they're on all night, you can expect them to last for years and years. Between this and the energy savings, these really are a smart financial choice as an upgrade to other types of wall pack lighting.
You can learn more about LED wall packs in our article on Outdoor LED Lighting.
As always, when you order in-stock items from Lighting Supply by 5 p.m. EST, they will ship on the same business day.

At one point I asked myself if it wasn't just a different trend, I guess it is even though sometimes it is explained in a comparable way.
If you are looking for different variations of that new minimalism, there are dozens of examples on Pinterest (i.e. homewares by Michelle Halford, interiors bu Ten Things, Architecture and Interior Design by Soo Corner and so on). How do you like it?

Philip Baker Hall
YouTube channel delivers with show about daughter's wrenching decisions over aging momSeptember 27, 2012
My expectations were pretty low when I first saw a press release about "the #1 scripted drama series on YouTube" called "Ruth & Erica." The Internet-only show follows a "woman struggling with her mother's reluctance to make the life changes necessary in light of her increasing frailty." I was prepared for poorly written and produced melodrama, but that's not at all what I found.

Quality Assurance in PHP is a valuable but very rarely seen aspect. In a world focused on rapid deployment and a "ship now, worry later" mentality, a focus on quality is a rare sight, especially when dealing with the web. One of our authors recently directed my attention to Sebastian Bergmann's site, PHP QA Tools.
The site is a simple list of interesting tools that can help you properly test your application, while also analyzing it and producing interesting data for you to look at. This post will be little more than a re-iteration of some of those tools with added information, use cases and advice about them – however, we're open to expanding this list with other QA tools you throw our way that get plenty of votes in the comments below or seem interesting and/or useful enough.
Mr. Bergmann's own PHPUnit is, unsurprisingly, present on the list. PHPUnit is the most widely used and fully featured unit testing tool which we've covered extensively before – I believe it needs no further introduction.
PHPUnit can be installed globally, by running composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=4.1.*".
Behat, a BDD framework, is a framework which will be covered in great detail on our channel soon, but in a nutshell, it allows you to write highly readable feature tests – tests that can be easily understood by even non-technical people. They're actual stories you write, in this form, as per their site:
Scenario: List 2 files in a directory
Given I am in a directory "test"
And I have a file named "foo"
And I have a file named "bar"
When I run "ls"
Then I should get:
You then write classes with methods which define the specific sentences, such as:
/** @Given /^I have a file named "([^"]*)"$/ */
public function iHaveAFileNamed($file)
in which Behat automatically passes the argument into the function based on what you placed between the quotes.
These "tests" are then writeable by non technical people with minimal training, and can in some cases decrease the management-development misunderstanding gap. Which tests should you write though? BDD or TDD?
There are several guides, videos and articles on the comparison of BDD and TDD, but what it boils down to it – "BDD is TDD done right".
BDD is TDD done right
BDD tests your app in a more readable, and contextually specific manner. What's more, the two aren't mutually exclusive – BDD can use common assertion tools like those from PHPUnit. It's very important to note the following distinction, however:
There is no code coverage in BDD!
How do you know what methods you've tested, and which need to be covered still? Put simply, when doing only BDD, you don't (unless you use third party code coverage libs). But that's just it – TDD is code oriented, while BDD is client oriented. TDD tests if your methods provide the asserted outcome, while BDD tests the functionality of your app – in other words, BDD tests if your app does what it should be doing, and considers a test passed if it doesn't throw an exception. In BDD, some of your functions can remain untested because they're simply irrelevant to the end result – the whole is greater than the sum of its parts – while in TDD, only the parts exist, and there is no whole. BDD is not for control freaks.
If you can, I encourage you to write both. If you can't, I encourage you to go with BDD. It'll be far more valuable in the long run.
Behat can be installed globally via composer global require behat/behat='~3.0.6'.
Further improving on the topic of testing, there's vfsStream:
… a stream wrapper for a virtual file system that may be helpful in unit tests to mock the real file system.
It's role is simple – fake a file system for mocking in your tests. The example it offers on the wiki page is self-explanatory, but perhaps the most noteworthy of features is its ability to "copy" a virtual directory structure from the actual file system. That way, you can run the test from the example on the virtual copy and treat it as the real deal (permissions are copied, too, as are files that don't exceed a pre-set limit), without actually polluting the real file system and risk post-test-fail leftovers the original example warns against in the anti-teardown argument.
Another of Mr. Bergmann's own tools, PHPLOC (LOC = lines of code) is a tool that measures the size of your project in lines of code, number of files, number of classes, and so on. The tool can walk through Git revisions, too, and generate retroactive reports in CSV format.
The tool can be globally installed via Composer by running composer global require 'phploc/phploc=*' and then becomes accessible to any project from any location. All you need to do is run phploc FOLDER where "FOLDER" is the folder you'd like to analyze.
The usefulness of this tool is questionable at best, but it's a nice bragging tool and I can see it generating some very interesting graphs in the sidebar of a PHP project's Github page. Further documentation is available on the project's Github page.
The list also mentioned PHP_Depend, though I see it as a somewhat outdated and rather tackily designed competitor to PHPLOC, so I won't be mentioning it here – in part also because the tool we mention next makes some under-the-radar use of it.
PHP Mess Detector will, when installed, pull in PHP_Depend as well and heavily use its generated metrics to generate its own reports. PHPMD actually looks for messy code: possible bugs, suboptimal code, overcomplicated methods, unused expressions and so on.
PHPMD can also be installed globally via Composer by running composer global require 'phpmd/phpmd=*'
PHPMD works through Rules – specific sets of instructions on what to look for in source code. There's a wide variety of prepared ones and users can write their own.
More detailed PHPMD posts are coming soon.
Similar to PHPMD, CodeSniffer sniffs through your code and detects violations in syntax. Unlike PHPMD, CS also covers CSS and JS.
The usual method of installation was through PEAR, though since PEAR is (luckily) on its way out, you can also install it globally through Composer: composer global require 'squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*'.
Usage is fairly simple, as described by their Github wiki, and we'll be publishing detailed CS integration tutorials soon, too.
Two more of Mr. Bergmann's tools, Dead Code Detector and Copy Paste Detector, test for unused code (methods and functions that were declared but are never used in a project) and for duplicate code respectively.
These absolutely essential tools make sure your code is DRY, clean and lean. Like some of the previously mentioned tools, these too can be installed globally via Composer:
composer global require 'sebastian/phpcpd=*' composer global require 'sebastian/phpdcd=*'
Executing the following set of commands will install Composer globally, and then all the tools we mentioned above, except vfsStream, which you should require manually in your composer.json file:
composer global require 'sebastian/phpcpd=*'
composer global require 'sebastian/phpdcd=*'
Composer is globally installed now.
composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=4.1.*"
composer global require behat/behat='~3.0.6'
composer global require 'phploc/phploc=*'
composer global require 'phpmd/phpmd=*'
composer global require 'squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*'
composer global require 'sebastian/phpcpd=*'
composer global require 'sebastian/phpdcd=*'
You can now use all these tools from any project, without having to manually include them.
In this post, we covered a part of the list from PHP QA Tools, focusing on actual QA tools only, and gave them some more context. Finally, we created a convenience shell provision file for your Vagrant boxes, so you can install all the QA tools globally at once.
While you probably won't be allowed to use all these at work where speed is more important than quality, you should definitely give them a go in your passion projects – your ideas deserve them.
Do you use any of these? If not, why? Think we're missing some? Let us know and we'll do our best to expand the list with essential tools – but make sure they're actual QA tools!

1. Effeciency: Only the data you need Reduces the amount of I/O that has to occur
2. Better use of indexes
May use Index intersection or make use of covered indexes

P&G expects to make a decision "in the coming weeks or months," a spokeswoman said. The marketer's three-year scanner data contract with IRI is set to expire next June. IRI has provided scanner data, the bigger of the contracts, since 1992. But VNU's ACNielsen unit now provides most of P&G's consumer-panel data.
P&G's request for proposals covered both contracts, although the marketer could decide to either consolidate the accounts at one supplier or keep them split.
The review comes amid continued legal rancor in an analytical business driven by strong emotion. A 1996 antitrust suit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago could go to trial next year. And an IRI spokeswoman said a recent "incident" involving the possible theft of confidential IRI information by an ACNielsen employee at a Microsoft facility where both companies work is under investigation. An ACNielsen spokesman said he was not aware of an investigation.
ACNielsen is believed by industry executives to hold a slight edge in market share over IRI in U.S. scanner data and a commanding lead in global scanner data and consumer-panel data. In its suit, IRI accused ACNielsen of illegally bundling U.S. and European data contracts to limit IRI's growth, particularly in Europe. ACNielsen said the suit is without merit.
Representatives of IRI and ACNielsen had no comment on the P&G account.
IRI remains barely profitable after more than two years of restructuring, and its stock hovers near all-time lows. Loss of the P&G account would deal IRI a severe blow, said former IRI Chairman-CEO Gian Fulgoni, now chairman of online audience-measurement service comScore Networks.
fixed costs
Collecting and processing scanner data involves fixed costs that can't necessarily be reduced when a big account leaves, Mr. Fulgoni said. He added that both IRI and ACNielsen have been squeezed at both ends by industry consolidation. Client consolidation means fewer buyers, while retailer consolidation leaves bigger suppliers that charge more for data.
The biggest supplier, Wal-Mart, stopped selling its data to both companies last year. Ripples from that decision continue to pressure both companies-and their clients.
"The clients look at it and say, Wal-Mart was 20% of the category, so if you don't have Wal-Mart in your database you should drop the price 20%, and that's a killer, because 20% of your costs don't go to Wal-Mart," Mr. Fulgoni said. "On top of that, you've got these massive costs to retool your entire system" to compensate for loss of Wal-Mart data.
rankled clients
Incomplete information given to the media or Wall Street because of lack of Wal-Mart panel data also rankles clients, including P&G. Chief Financial Officer Clayton Daley, in a conference call last month, criticized numbers cited by suppliers and said P&G is "working with our partners" to develop a solution.
Mr. Fulgoni questioned whether P&G ultimately could afford to take its scanner business away from IRI, which he believes could put IRI's future at risk and return the business to monopoly status. "Look at what this business was like before IRI, or at the Nielsen" TV-ratings monopoly, he said. "You've got to struggle to find a client who's happy with what they're getting."
P&G's spokeswoman wouldn't comment on factors in the decision. "When we make these kinds of decisions, we look at a variety of factors," she said. "It's a comprehensive review."

Andrew Bowman, Solicitor and medical law expert from Irwin Mitchell, has successfully won compensation for the family of Sandra Martin, who died from lung cancer that was left undetected for years despite regular visits to her GP.
Devoted Mum Sandra Martin first visited her GP, Dr Prakash Ahuja, at West Walk Surgery in Yate, near Bristol, in April 2006. She complained of a cough that had lasted for four months and was examined, but told everything looked fine and given antibiotics to treat a chest infection.
Sandra saw the same GP again the following month, as her cough was not showing any improvement. However, she was again sent away with no further treatment.
Over the next two years, the grandmother of 11 complained to five doctors and two nurses but was 'fobbed off' with antibiotics, despite NHS guidelines recommending patients with a persistent cough to be referred for a chest X-rays. It was not until she insisted on having a chest X-ray in March 2008 that lung cancer was finally diagnosed, and by this stage the cancer was very advanced.
Sandra underwent intensive chemotherapy, radiotherapy and an operation to remove the tumour, but following a period of remission, she was again diagnosed with lung cancer that was incurable and further treatment would only be palliative.
Further cancer treatment in Spain, weakened Sandra's immune system and sadly, in October 2011, aged 64, Sandra died from a lung infection.
Case Investigated
Sandra and her husband Robert approached Irwin Mitchell shortly after her diagnosis in 2008 and Irwin Mitchell began investigating the case immediately, but sadly Sandra died before the case was settled.
Husband Robert vowed to continue the battle Sandra had started and is determined to raise awareness of the dangers of a persistent cough and also GP's duties to refer their patients for chest x-rays.
Expert medical evidence commissioned by Irwin Mitchell concluded that had Sandra been referred for a chest X-ray prior to December 2006, the cancer would have been identified and she would have had surgery to remove the tumour. It was also found that had this been the case, Sandra would not have needed chemotherapy or radiotherapy and she would have made a full recovery, and her death could have been avoided.
Denial Of Liability
Despite this evidence, Dr Ahuja, who saw Sandra twice within a month, refused to admit any responsibility but did eventually agree to settle the case before the trial date, but he maintains that he was not to blame. This has been very hard for Sandra's family to accept.
Andrew Bowman, Solicitor and medical law expert from Irwin Mitchell's Bristol office representing the family, said:
"NHS guidelines are in place for a reason – to protect the safety of patients – and for a GP to completely disregard these is both shocking and deeply worrying.
"While the settlement compensates the family for the treatment and care for Sandra that they paid for and it draws a line under the legal proceedings, we continue to support the family in their calls for an apology for their loss. We are also very keen to see that any lessons that can be learnt are shared throughout GP surgeries and the NHS to prevent any further unnecessary deaths."
Husband Robert added: "Sandra and I had a long, happy retirement planned which we hoped would see us move out to our second home in Spain and have the children and grandchildren regularly visit.
"We just hope that by taking legal action and making others aware of Sandra's case that it leads to greater care being taken to follow NHS guidelines. My hope is that no other families have to go through the disastrous and painful times we all endured."

Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) currently has a Value Composite score of 90. The Value Composite One (VC1) is a method that investors use to determine a company's value. A company with a value of 0 is thought to be an undervalued company, while a company with a value of 100 is considered an overvalued company. The VC1 is calculated using the price to book value, price to sales, EBITDA to EV, price to cash flow, and price to earnings. Similarly, the Value Composite Two (VC2) is calculated with the same ratios, but adds the Shareholder Yield. The Value Composite Two of Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is 87.
Figuring out when to exit a certain position can be just as important as deciding which stocks to buy in the first place. Many investors will end up holding onto a loser for far too long. The emotional attachment to a particular stock may keep the investor from making the decision to sell when necessary. On the other side of the coin, investors may hold onto a winner for way too long hoping for further gains. Investors may have to come up with a specific plan for what to do in these situations. Planning ahead may help ease the burden of making the tough portfolio decisions.
Investors might be reviewing portfolio performance over the last six months. Many investors will be tracking shares that are trading near important levels such as the 52-week high and 52-week low. When a stock is trading near new 52-week high, investors may have to decide whether they should sell or hold on for future gains. Stocks that are moving towards a new 52-week low may also be worth keeping an eye on. There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of a particular stock. This is one reason why stock picking can be extremely tough at times. Because there are always so many things to monitor, it may be next to impossible to build a formula that will continually beat the market. Even after all the applicable information has been examined, the investor still has to make sense of the data and figure out what to do with it. Knowing how to use company data can end up being the difference between handsome gains and crippling losses.
Ever wonder how investors predict positive share price momentum? The Cross SMA 50/200, also known as the "Golden Cross" is the fifty day moving average divided by the two hundred day moving average. The SMA 50/200 for Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is currently 0.92500. If the Golden Cross is greater than 1, then the 50 day moving average is above the 200 day moving average – indicating a positive share price momentum. If the Golden Cross is less than 1, then the 50 day moving average is below the 200 day moving average, indicating that the price might drop.
The Return on Invested Capital (aka ROIC) for Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is -6.216198. The Return on Invested Capital is a ratio that determines whether a company is profitable or not. It tells investors how well a company is turning their capital into profits. The ROIC is calculated by dividing the net operating profit (or EBIT) by the employed capital. The employed capital is calculated by subrating current liabilities from total assets. Similarly, the Return on Invested Capital Quality ratio is a tool in evaluating the quality of a company's ROIC over the course of five years. The ROIC Quality of Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is -0.380073. This is calculated by dividing the five year average ROIC by the Standard Deviation of the 5 year ROIC. The ROIC 5 year average is calculated using the five year average EBIT, five year average (net working capital and net fixed assets). The ROIC 5 year average of Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is -1.928739.
In taking a look at some other notable technicals, Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP)'s ROIC is -6.216198. The ROIC 5 year average is -1.928739 and the ROIC Quality ratio is -0.380073. ROIC is a profitability ratio that measures the return that an investment generates for those providing capital. ROIC helps show how efficient a firm is at turning capital into profits.
Shareholder Yield
We also note that Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) has a Shareholder Yield of 0.000000 and a Shareholder Yield (Mebane Faber) of -0.13191. The first value is calculated by adding the dividend yield to the percentage of repurchased shares.
The second value adds in the net debt repaid yield to the calculation. Shareholder yield has the ability to show how much money the firm is giving back to shareholders via a few different avenues. Companies may issue new shares and buy back their own shares. This may occur at the same time. Investors may also use shareholder yield to gauge a baseline rate of return.
Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) has a current MF Rank of 17889. Developed by hedge fund manager Joel Greenblatt, the intention of the formula is to spot high quality companies that are trading at an attractive price. The formula uses ROIC and earnings yield ratios to find quality, undervalued stocks. In general, companies with the lowest combined rank may be the higher quality picks.
We can now take aquick look at some historical stock price index data. Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) presently has a 10 month price index of 1.87500. The price index is calculated by dividing the current share price by the share price ten months ago. A ratio over one indicates an increase in share price over the period.
A ratio lower than one shows that the price has decreased over that time period. Looking at some alternate time periods, the 12 month price index is 1.95652, the 24 month is 2.50000, and the 36 month is 0.52326. Narrowing in a bit closer, the 5 month price index is 0.88235, the 3 month is 0.67164, and the 1 month is currently 0.88235.
QI Value
Shifting gears, we can see that Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) has a Q.i. Value of 50.00000. The Q.i. Value ranks companies using four ratios. These ratios consist of EBITDA Yield, FCF Yield, Liquidity, and Earnings Yield. The purpose of the Q.i. Value is to help identify companies that are the most undervalued. Typically, the lower the value, the more undervalued the company tends to be.
Gross Margin score
Investors may be interested in viewing the Gross Margin score on shares of Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP). The name currently has a score of 63.00000. This score is derived from the Gross Margin (Marx) stability and growth over the previous eight years. The Gross Margin score lands on a scale from 1 to 100 where a score of 1 would be considered positive, and a score of 100 would be seen as negative.
Investors might be looking at various types of stocks that can be added to the portfolio. Selecting a wider range of equities may help the portfolio withstand prolonged market turmoil. Growth stocks typically have the potential to produce profit growth and above average revenues. Growth companies may reinvest a large amount of earnings back into the business. Fast growing companies can be attractive, but it may be important to verify whether or not shares are valued properly before buying in. Some investors may choose to select cyclical stocks. Cyclicals include companies that are very sensitive to the overall swings of the economy. Investors might also turn to adding foreign stocks to the portfolio. Keeping the portfolio diversified may end up being an important factor for longer-term investing success.
FCF Yield
The FCF Yield 5yr Average is calculated by taking the five year average free cash flow of a company, and dividing it by the current enterprise value. Enterprise Value is calculated by taking the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. The average FCF of a company is determined by looking at the cash generated by operations of the company. The Free Cash Flow Yield 5 Year Average of Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX:ASP) is -0.287780.

From Virginia, USA:
I have had breast reconstruction two years ago using the tram flap method, and I would like to begin using a pump. Would it be suitable to use my stomach area for the infusion set?
This should not prohibit you from using an insulin pump, but you will not be able to infuse the insulin into areas with scar tissue. However, anywhere you can pinch some subcutaneous tissue, you should be able to infuse the insulin. As part of your orientation training, this needs to be discussed in detail with your diabetes care team.
Additional comments from Dr. Stuart Brink:You should discuss possible pump use with your diabetes team. If there is a lot of scar tissue from your surgery, then you may want to consider alternative sites. Your diabetes team will be able to examine you and then decide how to proceed for your individual circumstances.

Why is shock probation part of the judicial landscape in Kentucky?
There are only seven states that have such a program, which allow judges to release from prison convicted criminals – many of them felons – simply because they have faced the "shock" of life in a cell.
Why does Kentucky's having shock probation seem to be such a disservice to law enforcement, prosecutors and the judicial process in general?
Why does Kentucky's system appear to be so porous that daily we hear of the affects of such releases that make us cringe and cry at the same time?
Why do we continue to be shocked at the discretion employed by judges to free individuals who have been convicted of a crime related to someone's death?
Shock probation first caught our attention when Tonya Nicole Brown, the woman who left her baby to die in a restroom in Shelbyville, was allowed to go home to her family in Lexington after she pleaded guilty to manslaughter and accepted a 10-year prison sentence.
We found the basis for this decision by Senior Judge Steven Mershon to be questionable, and we questioned his permissiveness and apparent disregard for the life that was lost.
When we began to examine our outrage that Ms. Brown was allowed to avoid punishment for a crime she admitted that she committed, we were amazed to discover that more than 8,000 felons had been released in the past five years via shock probation and that one in three of them was returned to jail for subsequent new offenses or for violating their probation.
Was no one paying attention to this trend? Were these numbers within some sort of "acceptable" range?
But then came the story of Beth McIntosh-Shreve, a woman from Shelbyville who was brutally murdered in 2007 and her body stashed as a playing piece in a game of heinous hide-and-go-seek. Her family had to allow the prosecutors to bargain with her killer, James Benjamin Gary, simply to find the body he had stashed in a park in St. Matthews.
Mr. Gary was a convicted felon out of jail on shock probation.
Surely such a repugnant situation would gain the attention of lawmakers and the judiciary and cause them to question the design and application of the shock probation law.
Surely they have to wonder if this law indeed was working as intended.
We understand this law helps with the costly crowding in jails, which the state is trying hard to reduce.
We also understand that there are some first-time convicts who truly are shocked and overwhelmed by incarceration – to which we respond, isn't that the idea of punishment in the first place? – but the problems here are twofold:
There are no limits to what sort of criminal a judge can release.
There is no greater review of those decisions.
In considering the statistical evidence we have viewed and the details of cases such as that involving Ms. McIntosh-Shreve, in our view no single judge should have such inscrutable latitude in releasing admitted convicts.
Why not employ a panel of judges? Why not make this an appellate process outside of the circuit court level? Why not make it more difficult to be released on shock probation?
We see too much evidence begging these questions:
§ Two women – Carolyn Scharf of Louisville and Debbie Moskwa of Ohio – shared with us how they had lost family members in terribly negligent traffic accidents only to see those convicted in those deaths be freed. Is there no accounting for the feelings of those whose lives were changed by criminal acts?
§ A woman in Frankfort was released on Friday after being sentenced to 10 years for trying to hire someone to murder her fiancé. Does spending 6 months in jail mean that she no longer is angry with her fiance and no longer wants him dead?
§ A man in Fayette County is returned to jail after his release on shock probation because he was caught driving at twice the legal limit of alcohol impairment.
§ An attorney for Joshua Fast, in prison for his role in the burglary that led to the death of his friend in Shelbyville, was in court Monday asking that his client be released on shock probation. Whether Mr. Fast should have been in jail is a reasonable question, but he pleaded guilty and accepted the sentence and already had violated bail by being arrested while awaiting trial. Should he be free now because he is "shocked?"
Here is a mitigating principal for us: If the person admits guilt, says, yes, I did this crime, shouldn't that person then be treated a bit more harshly than those who are jailed simply on the collective opinion of a jury?
If you admit to the crime, agree to the sentence, shouldn't you expect to do the time?
Shouldn't that factor into whether shock probation is granted?
Perhaps it does, but we are not convinced.
And that's why shock probation either should be repealed or rewritten, and we implore the next session of the General Assembly to examine it, to make these changes:
§ No person who pleads guilty to a felony should be eligible.
§ No person who is convicted in the death of someone should be eligible.
§ There should be specific interpretations as to whether persons with previous criminal records should be considered.
§ A single judge at the circuit-court level should not make the decision about shock probation requests.
If such requirements had been in place, Beth McIntosh-Shreve might be alive today. Her children might not have a life without their mother. Cindy and Bruce McIntosh might not be grieving for their daughter.
And, we would presume, our judicial system would have much less guilt on its conscience.
A bad law should not incarcerate us, the general public.
Join us in imploring our state legislators:
State Sen. Paul Hornback and state Rep. Brad Montell: Free us from shock probation as we know it.

Shellac nail polish is a combination of gel and traditional nail polish. It is more durable and resistant to chipping than traditional nail polish, but it is easier to use than gel or acrylics.Continue Reading
Shellac is less damaging to nails than gel or acrylics. However, a shellac manicure must be applied by a professional manicurist in a salon. It is also difficult to remove from the nail and requires special products to do so. Improper methods of removal can harm the skin and nails, so it is often best to return to the salon to have the shellac nail polish professionally removed.Learn more about Nail Polish

Mark Batterson Quotes About HonorQuotes about: Honor
Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers… The bigger the circle we draw, the better, because God gets more glory. The greatest moments in life are the miraculous moments when human impotence and divine omnipotence intersect — and they intersect when we draw a circle around the impossible situations in our lives and invite God to intervene.
Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers. God isn't offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers-he is offended by Anything Less. If your prayers aren't impossible to You, they are insulting to God- why? Because they don't require divine intervention. But ask God to part the Red Sea or make the sun stand still or float an iron axhead and God is moved to Omnipotent action

About a month ago, the world learned of one of the first malware threats to do real damage to a large swath of Mac users. Known as "Flashback" because it masked itself as an update to Adobe Flash, the trojan reportedly infected over half a million Mac users. Once the trojan successfully installed itself in a user's system, it harvested user names and passwords from the web browser and sent them back to who knows where. It took Apple about a week to respond to threat, issuing a software update that removed "the most common variants" of the trojan, but that's still a lot of user names and passwords that got compromised.
Prior to Flashback, Macs had been largely regarded as virtually free from malware. After Flashback, many Mac users might want to start thinking about getting themselves some security protection. With that being said, Mac-directed malware is still a bit of a rarity. Which is why, if you're going to add third-party protections to your Mac, you might want to start your shopping with a price comparison. That's where BitDefender Virus Scanner comes in. It's a virus scanner at the perfect price: free. The question is, will you get what you pay for?
We've seen countless Chicken Littles screaming that the sky is falling for years, but in 2012 we seem to be seeing more stories than ever about the supposed end of the superiority of Macs when it comes to security flaws and outside attacks.
New reports are pouring in weekly of threats that Mac users need to be aware of: Flashback, Luckycat, password security flaws, the list goes on and on.
In our poll question this week, we want to know whether you buy into all the doom and gloom or you think it's all a bunch of hype like we've seen in the past. There's a basic but critically important question that needs answering: Do you still trust your Mac's security? By this I mean the built-in security measures provided by Apple.
Once upon a time, most Mac users would've scoffed at the idea of downloading third party virus protection software, is this still the case or are these days long gone? Are we joining the Windows crowd in the need to personally take steps to safeguard our computers against outside threats or are Macs still safe "right out of the box?" Cast your vote in the poll and then argue it out below!
As more of our lives are shared online, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of the things we want to keep private. You may be surprised how much of a trail you leave behind just from browsing the Internet. From saved cookies to form history, your personal information is scattered around your computer and the web.
Many applications on your Mac, including browsers, offer different settings to let you control what is and isn't saved. However, it can be a complicated process to manually go through dozens of settings screens to ensure that everything is set in a way that will protect your privacy. PrivacyScan from Secure Mac helps you easily delete all of these potentially sensitive pieces of information.
Apple has pushed two critical security updates to Java for Mac OS X this week in order to patch up some critical security loopholes found in the previous release of Java, version 1.6.0_29. The updates, which were released on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, are available via Software Update for Snow Leopard users running OS X 10.6.8 and Lion users running OS 10.7.3.
The updates were released after a Russian antivirus company, Doctor Web, discovered that Macs were vulnerable to the BackDoor.Flashback trojan, which saves an executable file on your Mac's hard drive then downloads malicious code from a remote server.
The trojan has affected an estimated 600,000 Macs worldwide, with the majority located in the United States (around 55%), Canada (around 20%) and the UK (around 13%). An analyst at Doctor Web also reported that 274 of these infected computers were based in Cupertino, California – the same city as Apple's headquarters meaning that some of Apple's own computers may have been affected.
We live in a world where protecting our privacy isn't just a matter of principle. Letting your personal information get exposed can harm you financially if your credit card information is obtained, and your credit rating can be damaged if someone steals your identity. Your emails and chat messages can contain sensitive information that you want to ensure only go to their intended recipients.
Our computers hold abundant amounts of personal data that most of us would rather not let get into the wrong hands. You might be surprised to see just how many applications are constantly sending data out of your computer, and it is important to be sure that all that stuff is going to places you trust. Fortunately, there are apps that help us monitor what our computers are sending out, and allow us to selectively block transmissions. Here we are going to look at two excellent apps called Little Snitch and Hands Off that aim to do just that.
Our laptops are valuable devices. They connect us. Inform and entertain us. And yes, sometimes distract us. Dealing with a lost or stolen laptop is not typically a thought we ponder in our busy lives. The good news, there are some powerful tools out there to assist us in the recovery of a missing laptop. The better news, today we'll take a look at Prey – a free, open-source laptop recovery system that you can begin using immediately.
The developers at preyproject.com make the claim that Prey just works. Let's take a look at how Prey gets the job done.
Whether it's at Starbucks, the mall or Motel 6, free WiFi hotspots are popping up everywhere. While you're using those hotspots, you might unknowingly be giving away some seriously personal information to an opportunistic hacker or two, including your social network, email, and even your online banking account login credentials.
With personal information like that at risk, you might be tempted to stop using those free hotspots altogether, but an app called Cloak by Bourgeois Bits hopes to alleviate those risks by providing Mac users with a corporate grade VPN service built into a consumer level app. Read on to see if Cloak really is the perfect companion to public WiFi.
Our featured sponsor this week is SpyCam, the perfect utility for conducting private video surveillance with your Mac.
Security apps can be a pain to setup, but Spy Cam is so simple that anyone can use it. As soon as I opened up Spy Cam for the first time, I immediately knew how everything worked. You simply set the interval for how often you want Spy Cam to automatically record a movie using your Mac's built-in camera and indicate how long each movie should be. From that point on, you can easily keep track of who is snooping around on your machine.
If you want to check up on your Mac from a remote location, Spy Cam has your back. It can easily be configured to save the video files to your Dropbox folder, making them accessible from anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Spy Cam is hands down one of the easiest ways I've seen to use your Mac for a little covert spying. At $9.99, it's also much cheaper than many competing security apps (no monthly fees, just download the app and use it forever).
Go Get It!
Go grab Spy Cam now and start keeping a closer watch on your Mac or even your home. Anything that you can point your Mac's camera at, you can record. Spy Cam can was just released on the Mac App Store so be sure to cruise over and check it out.
Today's discussion is a classic one: are Macs really impervious to the malware threats so rampant on PCs? Due to the rapidly changing nature of technology and the ever-increasing acceptance of Macs, this is a question that needs to be periodically revisited.
We've recently seen Apple's bulletproof security claims become quite tarnished in light of threats such as MAC Defender. Read on to see if you should be concerned.
It's difficult to overstate the importance of a tried-and-tested backup solution. One that ensures all your data will be safe – whether you suffer a simple hard drive failure, or your house burns down. This type of system gives you immense peace of mind, and removes that guilty feeling in your subconscious caused by not backing up.
Today I'm going to walk through a few options for creating what I would consider to be an "ideal" backup solution for the Mac. This is by no means the only way to handle the safety of your data, but one that's particularly robust and cost-effective.

|Alfred Munnings Reading Aloud Outside on the Grass by Harold Knight
Previously we blogged about the new film out in cinema's, Summer in Februry based on the novel about the love triangle of artist Alfred Munnings.
Sir Alfred James Munnings (8th October 1878 - 17th July 1959) can be described as one of the finest British painters. He went to Cornwall in 1911 as he was attracted by the famous Newlyn Art School, now known as Newlyn School of Arts.
|A Shoot in a Swede Field
|Zenmore hill Cornwall
Munnings travelled around the countryside capturing naturalistic paintings, he captured the charm of the rural life during a time when it was in the process of vanishing. During then life was mainly out doors, which is a healthier lifestyle then it is now. Through his paintings, the viewer almost experiences life as it was during the loneliness of rural Cornwall.

text: Twenty-year-old Maile Hampton currently faces the unusual charge of lynching in connection with a police altercation during a protest rally. Hampton is accused of interfering with the arrest of a fellow protester during a January rally against police brutality. Since Hampton's arrest there have been multiple calls to change the name of the offense as to not associate it with lynching in the traditional sense. In a statement to the Guardian, Hampton's lawyer Linda Parisi stated "It's an irony that a woman of color who was at a public rally to shine a light on police brutality is arrested for lynching." Video of the incident shows Hampton among a throng of protesters and officers and the ensuing altercation in which Hampton pulls a fellow protester out of the grasp of an officer. Following an investigation Hampton was arrested and charged with lynching and released on $100,000 bail. In California, this form of lynching is considered a felony that carries a maximum four-year jail sentence. In comparison, a more typical charge of resisting arrest would be a misdemeanor. Sacremento Mayor Kevin Johnson is working with legislators to amend the criminal code. "I was shocked to learn that in California, removing someone from police custody is defined as 'lynching'. This word has a long and painful history in our nation and it needed to be immediately removed from California law," he said in a statement to the Sacramento Bee.

Next she asked the man working the cash register. He said, no, we don't carry them. Then she looked down, and right on a small shelf below where she was standing was a box of glue sticks.

Everton will be without 6 first team players due to injury.
James McCarthy is definitely out together with Tim Howard, Steven Pienaar, Leon Osman, Tony Hibbert and Darron Gibson.
Also missing are Alcaraz through suspension and Atsu who is now recovered from injury but away with the Ghana squad ahead of the African Cup of Nations.
Good news is John Stones and Kevin Mirallas are fit and should start.
Roberto said: "James is recovering well but I don't think he will be involved in the game against West Ham on Tuesday. His hamstring is not yet ready to cope with 90 minutes of football.
"John and Kevin Mirallas have provided really positive news for us and they will both be in the squad.
"There are the longer-term injuries. Tim Howard, Steven Pienaar, Leon Osman, Tony Hibbert and Darron Gibson who will not be available.
"I think the FA Cup comes at a good time for us. We are playing at home against a very good West Ham side. They will come with a really good, open approach and I think it'll be a fantastic game of football.
"Playing in a different competition can sometimes lift the pressure and, from our point of view, it can be the start of something that can give us a really good platform for the second half of the season.
"We all know the FA Cup is the best cup competition in world football in terms of a domestic tournament, so we're really looking forward to it.
"We'll be ready for the game. I do feel as though it is a game where we have to perform well and one we have to win.
"Having a couple of days extra will help us. I think it is important we use the time to make sure we get back to our standards.
"We want to react, as a football club, in the manner that we do at Everton. We will accept the criticism and comments that come from outside because they'll make us stronger and ready for the rest of the campaign."
Everton squad: Robles, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Baines, Garbutt, Barry, Mirallas, Besic, Barkley, Naismith, Kone, Oviedo, McGeady, Atsu, Eto'o, Lukaku, Browning, Distin, Griffiths.

Presbyterians to reconsider divestment from companies in Israel
A decision by a group within the Presbyterian Church USA to reintroduce a resolution calling for divestment from companies doing business with Israel is reopening a long-running controversy over the church's positions on Israel.
The church's Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment released a report Sept. 9 arguing that the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church divest from Motorola, Hewlett-Packard and Caterpillar.
"The General Assembly asked us to do everything we could to bring about change through dialogue," said committee chair the Rev. Brian Ellison, a pastor from Kansas City, Mo., in a statement. "Today we are sadly reporting that these efforts have not produced any substantive change in company policies or practices, and that there is little reason for hope they will do so in the future. According to the Assembly's prior directives and the church's ordinary engagement process, we have little choice but to recommend divestment."
The report already has sparked intense debate within the church and is likely to make more waves when it is introduced at the next biennial general assembly in July.
"There will be vigorous debate on this," Susan Andrews, the general presbyter of the Hudson Valley, in New York, told JTA. "The church has been split on this for years."
The call for divestment also has provoked angry reaction from some Jewish groups. The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League issued statements condemning the recommendation.
"This renewed effort by some within the Presbyterian Church to penalize Israel does not advance peace," said Rabbi Noam Marans, AJC's director of intergroup and interreligious relations. "On the contrary, threatening divestment undermines those who are truly committed to Israeli-Palestinian peace."
An organization called Presbyterians for Middle East Peace released a statement condemning the report's authors as giving a "friendly ear" to "a small group of activists within the Presbyterian Church that has relentlessly sought to punish Israel" and want "to find one party at fault in a conflict where all parties have engaged in positive or negative actions."
Pastor John Wimberly of the Western Presbyterian Church and a co-convener of Presbyterians for Middle East Peace told JTA that the measure was unlikely to be adopted. He cited polls that show a gap between "specialized clergy"—clergy without pulpits—and other groups within the church, with the former more likely to support Israeli withdrawal from West Bank and eastern Jerusalem and less likely to support strong U.S.-Israel ties and relations between Jews and Presbyterians.
In a statement, Presbyterians for Middle East Peace promised to fight the report from being adopted.
"The general assembly would have to go against the opinion of the majority of Presbyterians," Wimberly said. "It will be a struggle; they are determined although a very small group. We just have to make sure this small group can't do something very big."
In 2006, the church replaced a 2004 policy that called for "phased selective divestment" from multinational corporations operating in Israel with one that called for investment in Israel, the Gaza Strip, eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank "in only peaceful pursuits." In 2008, the church's general assembly instructed Presbyterians to avoid over-identifying with one side on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Hello guys
I have a Roku media player, Windows 7 PC, and 2Wire 2701 HG-T router (settings cannot be changed due to DSL provider). This router also broadcasts Wi-Fi throughout the house. My Windows 7 PC is connected to the router via Ethernet cable. My PC has no wi-fi card however I will buy one if needed. I also use TunnelBear VPN.
What I want to do:
I live overseas, and want to see Amazon videos. To do this, I want to tell my Roku player to connect via wi-fi to my VPN, installed on my computer. It talks directly to the router presently. However since the router and computer are based overseas, it has a non-USA IP address.
The VPN is on my computer, there is no physical VPN nor anyway to install one on my router itself.

Before Civil Religion
On Robert N. Bellah's Forgotten Encounters with America, 1955-1965
AbstractRobert N. Bellah's shift "from Japan to America" in the late 1960s has been explained as either the outcome of a prolonged period of personal and political dismay or the beginning of the "culturalist revolution" in the social sciences. This paper uses published and archival materials to extend and complete these accounts from another point of view. It contends that, at the time of writing "Civil Religion in America" (1966-1967), Bellah was facing the structural problem of the gifted follower, which required him to decide between remaining under the shadow of his mentor, Talcott Parsons, or trying to step out and occupy an individual position within the intellectual field. In order to illustrate this thesis, the paper reconstructs Bellah's relationship with Parsons and the Parsonian circles at Harvard, and presents some unpublished papers on America and American religion from the 1955-1965 decade as an illustration of Bellah's development.
Keywords: Robert N. Bellah, religion, America, civil religion, modernization theory, positivism.
