I hear you. By the way, do you send the last page of the eob with all of your secondary claims? The page with the explanation codes. I haven't in the 27 years I've been doing this. One time, a payer wanted it. It's being done here and I feel it's such a waste.
I'm looking for a reference where it is mandatory to black out other patient's names on Medicare R/A's before mailing them out to a secondary payer. I know it's PHI under HIPAA but I need something to show.
If there are denials or remarks I do send it.

****! Baron is tossed, and JRich cant handle the ball tonite.
Someone better step up quick and not let this become a blowout.
Game Thread: Warriors @ Dallas Mavericks 2007-04-25
Talk about the upcoming Warriors game here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Damn, I don't remember how long it's been since I've been frustrated. Whatever, can't expect to win all the time. The fact that we're going to split these first two games is fine with me. Winning at least one on the road is a good enough accomplishment. Nice try guys... but it was worth a shot. Can't expect to go up 2-0 on the first seed. Keep our heads high, and get ready for playoffs come to the Oracle.

Starting Lineup
The Mavericks are going to catch a serious beat down when they come to the Oracle
well, we have 3 key players off the court and the team pretty much losing their composure.
They got too worked up on the fouls. They might hate it but who doesn't? they have to just back in the game as quickly as possible and play.
But we accomplished one thing. We took home court away. Look for the Oracle to be rockin on Friday.

Harrington has to show up. He's done nothing these first two games. Jrich also needs to show up. Where the hell has he been? If we at least have those two helping Baron and Jackson, we should win. But these guys have been dead quiet. THEY NEED TO STEP IT UP!!! But hey... look at the bright side fellas, at least we're not down 0-2. I like the saying... finish what you started. The Warriors started with an upset win, they're going to end this series by shocking the world. We believe, Warriors for life.
Well the refs were fucked up tonight. I dont know what to say, you cant win them all... They played pretty sloppy in the third. Overall the whole second half was just ugly. Basically the mavs pulled away by shooting freethrows.
Just gotta win on friday, the oracle is gonna be rocking!

He was probally saying some pretty choice stuff to the officials and didn't leave the court for a long time. Hopefully it won't be a big deal. But there's limits to how long a player can stay on the court after an ejection.
We lost our composure plain and simple. Sure the Mavs were getting every single call but our lack of playoff experience really showed. It was frustrating of course but at least we can control our own destiny at home. The arena should be rockin on Friday.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romania's top court will examine the case of a former commander of a communist prison who is accused of aggravated murder in the deaths of six political prisoners.
The High Court of Cassation and Justice said Friday it will take on the case because of its legal complexity and also because more than 50 years have lapsed since the deaths at the notorious Ramnicu Sarat communist prison. Under Romanian law, there is no time limit on prosecuting serious crimes.
From 1956 to 1963, Alexandru Visinescu ran Ramnicu Sarat where pre-communist political leaders and intellectual elite were incarcerated.
The institute investigating communist crimes last week called for Visinescu, 87, to be prosecuted for the deaths. It said prisoners died from beatings, hunger, a lack of medical treatment and exposure to cold. It will hand a total of 35 files of former commanders to prosecutors.
Romanians were shocked after Visinescu publicly cursed a cameraman and lunged at journalists several times who were seeking reaction to the accusations against him.
The plight of the former prison guards and their thousands of victims has turned into a national debate in Romania with many questioning why former prison guards have not only not faced trial even though communism ended 23 years ago, but also receive the highest pensions in Romania.
President Traian Basescu this weekend said it was never too late for justice and said Visinescu should be handed over to the justice system. Visinescu says he was only following orders and doing his job.
More than 500,000 Romanians were incarcerated for opposition to the communist regime and one-fifth died.
Romania threw off communism during the 1989 revolution, but former communists and former Securitate secret police agents continued to wield influence in politics, business and the media, effectively protecting figures like Visinescu.

Hi, I am new to the forum and am chasing advice on what to fit on this boat to power it. Living in Broome I have a limit of 2 current options available, a 250 Verado or a 300 Suzuki 2012 model 440 hrs- both can be fitted for under $15,000. The Verado will be a straight forward fit but the Suzuki has a longer leg and will require transom modifications. or do we search further for the right motor?
Also does anyone recognise the model or make of the boat.
Have recently purchased a boat but are having some trouble with the engine, starts fine runs well but 5 minutes out in the water and the alarm comes on and it derates itself, can someone help ,me pin point the problem,
I live in mandurah so if anyone knows of a mobile boat mechanic that might be able to help would be good also
Looking for someone that will play their share on a boat in Cooktown... Im not looking for a leach just a genuine fisho....

With These Recipes In Your Hands, You Can Achieve The Best Health Of Your Life, Be In
The Best Shape Of Your Life And Experience More Energy Than Ever Before . . .
Let Me Show You How . . .
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
My name is Nikki Young, author of the Paleo Cookbooks. Before I introduce you to my delicious paleo recipes, I want to tell you straight off the bat that the paleo diet is not a diet designed by diet doctors, faddists, or nutritionists; it is a diet designed by nature. It is not the latest weight loss program or celebrity diet that leaves you craving sugar-laden foods.
The paleo diet is the diet the human body is supposed to follow, and as such, all the positive results gained from following the paleo foundations seamlessly fall into place:
- Increased Energy
- Clearer, Smoother Skin
- Weight Loss Results
- Better Performance and Recovery
- Stronger Immune System
This Is The Healthiest And Most
Beneficial Diet We Can Follow
Imagine seeing and feeling more results in your body and health in a week than you ever have in a lifetime.
These are the results tens of thousands of people continue to experience on a daily basis and that I have experienced as well – that's why I'm a huge advocate for the paleo diet and I believe you too can experience how amazing it is to suddenly be able to go through your days with more energy, while seeing a happier, healthier body in the mirror.
How can eating natural foods that make up the paleo diet promote such wonderful results?
Simple: It is the nutritional value within each and every single food source that our body thrives for. It is the vitamins, minerals, protein, fats and low GI carbohydrates that maintains the health of every organ in our body – and when everything is functioning optimally, you can't help but to experience all the health benefits associated with optimal health.
This is why I have created the Paleo Cookbooks, a total collection of hundreds of my favorite paleo friendly recipes that will help you follow the healthiest and most nutritious diet in the world. These cookbooks contain:
- Grains
- Potatoes
- Lentils
- Dairy
- Processed Sugars
- Preservatives
Perfect Paleo Recipes For Athletes
When you consume foods we as humans have evolved to eat, while simultaneously eliminating the over processed sugar laden foods now linked to causing the many diseases we are faced with in society today, your body will be provided with the pure nutrition that will assist in normalizing your body weight and improving athletic performance and recovery.
You and I are designed to eat and live off the land, to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and animals – this is the ultimate secret (which isn't really a secret) to optimal health, losing weight, staying lean, improved performance, reduced risk of injury and faster recovery and healing
Here is what some professional athletes who follow the paleo diet are saying:
"Leaner. Stronger. Faster. I made the switch to the Paleo diet in January 09 and these are but a few of the benefits I've experienced. As an elite athlete, I was looking to take my performance to the next level. I didn't buy all the marketing junk about high carb intake, sports drinks, powerbars, goos, protein drinks, you name it. My body needed real food. Making the switch was easy, but keeping meals interesting was hard. That's when I discovered the Paleo Cookbooks. Chock full of tasty and easy recipes, the cookbooks gave me the variety I needed to keep the diet going strong. Thanks Nikki!"
~ Greg "Caveman" Parham
"It was so great to download the Paleo Cookbooks and receive instant access to great ideas. The cookbooks are easy to read, easy to follow and so simple. Yet really tasty and fun to prepare." I like the presentation and enjoy creating masterpieces from the Paleo Cookbooks. I have also enjoyed learning about the great substitutes for old favorites, like using green peppers as a 'bread' holder substitute, or still being able to bake foccacia, using alternative flours. I just enjoy 'paging' through the recipes planning out great meals to share with my friends and family."
~ Ursula Grobler
"Nikki, Thanks for putting together such great books. In the past 2 months, my cholesterol has dropped 24pts, I'm leaner, stronger, and just feeling better in general than I have in a long time. Your recipes are great and I can even get my wife to eat them without even knowing that we are doing anything special with our diet. I presented your material as a part of my nutrition plan for my judo club and they are all responding well to it. Please keep up the good work, you are changing lives."
~ John Schneider
"Nikki, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your cookbooks. The Paleo Cookbooks are stuffed with easy to make recipes that cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Your cookbooks make a simple diet, even simpler! Thank you for taking the time to put all these delicious paleo recipes together and sharing them with the world!"
~ Travis Schefcik
"Nikki really did a great job putting her Paleo Cookbooks together. They're well organized, beautifully laid out and have something for every taste preference. I was a chef for years and I STILL learned some great stuff from the Paleo Cookbooks. In particular, I eat a lot of eggs and all the omelet recipes and variations really gave me some great new ideas. Thanks again for putting together two great cookbooks, Nikki!
~ Adam Farrah
"As a full time health and fitness consultant my clients need to eat right. Paleo nutrition is simply the most effective way for us to achieve the health outcomes necessary for lasting results. The problem is there is often a stalling point between wanting to eat paleo, knowing what to eat and how to cook. These cookbooks helps us to have paleo nutrition in our daily lives. I really appreciate all the effort that Nikki puts into her recipes. I have full confidence in anyone using this cookbook not only for health but for great tasting meal options."
~ Ross Blake

Samendra Prasad, one of the University at Buffalo's Gifted Math Program high-achieving 2013 graduates, will enter his freshman year at the University of Virginia with seven years of college-level math education already under his belt.
His accelerated progress is just another success story in the GMP, a graduate school of education program that has been helping students in grades 7-12 get a head start in their college careers since 1979.
The program offers qualified high school students the ability to earn up to 16 college math credits by the time they graduate.
"Students in our program really learn what it means to engage in mathematics," said Deborah A. Moore-Russo, co-director of the program and assistant professor in the department of learning and instruction. "They are given numerous opportunities to reason about and reflect on key mathematical ideas. They learn how seemingly different concepts are connected and how single concepts are often represented in a variety of manners."
The rewards of the program reach beyond accelerated study and mentored research, according to Moore-Russo. The program encourages students to think independently and learn how to communicate their ideas more effectively.
Prasad's involvement in the GMP began in 2006. Since then, he has accumulated college credit and distinguished himself among his peers.
"The early years of GMP credit helped populate his college transcript," said Dheerendra Prasad, Samendra's father. "They were worth every penny since now Sam will ride free through one of the top public universities in the U.S."
Prasad will attend the University of Virginia as a Rodman Scholar and recipient of the Jefferson Scholarship.
"I cannot stress enough how much this helped my applications," Prasad said. "It provided proof of a studious lifestyle and an excellent talking point."
Anne Izydorczak, Ph.D., GMP administrator, said the program helps students to learn what it's like to grapple with problems. "Their thinking skills, time management skills, study and reading skills are all developed."
"In a sea of faces listing their AP exams and SAT scores, I was able to talk to interviewers about my experiences with college-level courses," Prasad said.
"This is a rigorous curriculum well beyond what is offered in high schools," Izydorczak said. "Most (students) rise to the challenge and come away with an understanding of their own capabilities and a sense of accomplishment."

Dudelet and I have been having one or two issues lately. Actually, supermum's had one or two strained moments with dudelet this week, as has little elf. To be honest, I think we're all taking chunks out of each other on a regular basis. The flat is too small, the neighbours are regularly complaining about the noise of the children running around above their heads (and as luck would have it, they seem to be constantly working from home) and my search for a new job, the deus ex machina supposed to engineer an escape from both small flat and increasingly anally retentive neighbours, keeps running into rejections or deadends. There's a bit of an atmosphere, a sense of 'between stations' and children pick up on that sort of thing.
More disturbingly, dudelet's had a few sleepwalking incidents, something classically associated with stressed children. Little elf seems relatively untouched but her insistence on doing everything herself and 'owning' particular bits of floor or furniture, or the whole of our bed is driving the other three of us to distraction.
So supermum took LE swimming this morning whilst dudelet and I stayed behind. I initially banned TV – we were going to find more creative outlets – and we built railway tracks, raided the freezer, made smoothies and drew. Then dudelet, who refused to countenance leaving the house, went into pester overdrive to at least play on the GameCube. After some debate, we struck a deal. He'd get to play Zelda for 45 minutes then we'd pack up and head for the Tate Modern where he'd spend an equal amount of time trekking round the exhibition of my choice.
And that's exactly what we did.
I wanted to see the Van Doesburg exhibition but before that, we tackled the current big installation in the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall – Miroslaw Balka's monstrous steel box of darkness, 13 metres high and 30 metres long.
Dudelet wanted to see it (he loves the big exhibits and Louise Bourgeois' Maman is a touchstone for both of us) but was scared – it literally feels like one is walking into a wall of darkness. So I carried him and we slowly walked up the ramp into the immense steel box, a giant's freight container. To me, it was nowhere near as scary as it might have been. It was too crowded and after a while, one could make out white shirts or scarfs hovering like after-images in the blackout. But the sense of lost or incalculable space was intense. I couldn't see or sense where the darkness ended in walls and the ceiling might as well have been a night sky devoid of stars or light pollution. We were at the bottom of a huge well, surrounded by other blinded, shuffling, giggling denizens. I moved forward slowly, dudelet in one arm with his legs wrapped around my waist whispering a running commentary, and my other arm stretched out ready to encounter a wall or The Other. When I finally met the end of the box, I almost jumped. The wall was velvelty, almost warm. Dudelet could see a faint crack of light from an imperfect seal to our right so we made our way south untill I met another wall with the same faint shock at the unexpetedly soft texture I encountered. Then we turned east, looking back the way we came. The illusion vanished instantly. It was a dull light but all the people entering the open end of the box were silhouetted against it. Dudelet let me put him down and we made our way out.
It's a piece of art that references many things – the cattle cars and gas chambers of the Holocaust, the simply unknown – but on a crowded Saturday afternoon, it offers more simple lessons about the tricksiness of the spatial and how my beautiful boy still trusts me enough, despite all the shouting and strife of the last couple of weeks, to let me carry him into darkness and out again.

Julia Marton Lefèvre, Director General of IUCN, was in the most famous queue in Europe with thousands of diplomats and activists in the cold Copenhagen winter. She describes a cheerful and motivated crowd, both inside and outside the conference center.
I have now spent exactly 1.5 days at the Copenhagen Climate Summit, although it feels like a week. I can imagine how my IUCN colleagues who have been here for 10 days, and how the negotiators, working night and day, must feel. A part of yesterday afternoon, after I arrived to Copenhagen, was spent in a seemingly hopeless queue waiting to get our passes to be allowed in the Bella Centre. It was deeply disappointing that the organizers did not prepare better to receive the masses of people who registered and who took the trouble and expense to come here. At the same time, the line of people was a totally egalitarian one – grassroots NGOs, intergovernmental organizations, the media, ministers, business leaders – we were all in it together and mostly in a good mood. I managed to get my pass thanks to the help of one of our State Members whose Minister was waiting to meet with me. I heard other amazing stories of how some people found ingenious ways to get in, but most had to wait 7 or more hours, some giving up, some returning on a second day. This reluctant welcome has cast a dark cloud over the conference, although once inside there is an amazing buzz with people rushing about attending a massive number of interesting events organized by delegations, and of course the negotiations continue, mostly behind closed doors. There are lots of rumours about the possible outcome on Friday night, but everyone knows only a bit of the whole story, which seemingly has not been constructed yet.
For IUCN today was an important day – our President as Club of Rome, IUCN and Development Alternatives organized an excellent session at mid-day on 'Systemic Neglect of Systemic Solutions'; and all of us had numerous bilateral discussions with Members, partners and friends. In the evening we were deeply involved in three important events: our own session on 'Biodiversity in Trouble: ways forward in a changing climate'; the IUCN/TNC High Level Event: Celebrating Commitments to Adaptation: Building Resilient Communities and Ecosystems' , and the launch of our new book, 'The Wealth of Nature' the 17th CEMEX conservation book co-produced by IUCN, Conservation International, The International League of Conservation Photographers and the Wild Foundation. Not being able to split myself into three parts I went and spoke at the book launch, and understand that the other events were also successful and well attended. Whatever happens here at the end of this week, the link between climate and ecosystems has, I believe been firmly made, and we will embark with new determination on the International Year of Biodiversity.

The Lazyboy recliners have a very adjustable reclining mechanism so that the user can position the chair in the way they find most comfortable. The numerous styles and designs of Lazyboys now available means there is Lazyboy furniture to fit into any surrounding. The Lazyboy big man recliner is ideal for individuals who are taller or larger than average. With adjustable seat heights and high back rests this model is excellent. In addition, storage armrests can hold refreshments or accessories like television remote controls.
The importance of putting good office furniture and equipment in the workplace cannot be overemphasized. While its true that some business transactions are handled outside of the office, the office is where most initial deals are made, and its also the venue for implementing and brainstorming effective business operations and strategies. One of the most essential furnishings in a workplace of any kind is the office furniture chair. There is a wide array of office chairs available in the market today, which can fit any purpose intended for it.

text:
The prevailing philosophies of the West's post-Christian era--secular humanism's scientific empiricism and the New Age pantheistic type of postmodernism--are remarkably similar to the Epicureanism and Stoicism Paul encountered at Athens. Paul's speech becomes a model for how to witness to the educated post-Christian mind, even as it spoke to Theophilus and his fellow seekers with their first-century pre-Christian minds.
When Paul arrived at Athens in the province of Achaia, he came to an anomaly. Though its population was no more than ten thousand and it had been reduced to poverty and submission by its war with Rome (146 B.C.), it was granted the status of a free city in view of its illustrious past. "Accordingly, although the time of her greatest glory was gone forever, Athens could still boast of her right to be called a great center of philosophy, architecture, and art"--and, we might add, religion (Madvig 1979b:352). In fact, what assaulted Paul's spirit was the ubiquitous idolatry (Livy History of Rome 45.27.11). Guarding the entrance to houses and shrines was a square pillar with the head of Hermes, the god of roads, gateways and the marketplace. What Paul met in Athens was "a forest of idols" (Wycherley 1968:619).
Paul is more than greatly distressed, for he experiences a paroxysm in his spirit, a provocation of anger or grief or both, because the glory due to God alone is being given to idols. The Lord reacted the same way to idolatry in Israel (Deut 9:7, 18, 22; Ps 106:28-29; Is 65:2-3; compare Is 42:8), and so should we. Any paraphernalia of false worship should provoke in us such grieving anger that we, jealous for the glory of God and his Christ, reach out and share the good news, which includes a call to repentance (Stott 1990:279).
Paul reaches out in witness not only in the synagogue (17:2, 10; 18:4) but also in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. "The Athenian Agora [marketplace] was the center of the public and business life of the city, and people met there every day to learn the latest news and to discuss all manner of subjects. . . . Temples and government buildings, shops and offices, and altars and statuary filled the Agora, and stoas and colonnades gave protection against the summer sun and the winter rain and cold" (Finegan 1981:128). John Stott observes that the equivalent today is "a park, city square or street corner, a shopping mall or marketplace, a `pub,' neighborhood bar, cafe, discotheque or student cafeteria, wherever people meet when they are at leisure" (1990:281). We, like Paul, must go to where the people are, and to those settings where serious discussion of ideas, even religious ideas, is natural and expected.
Paul's evangelism again follows the pattern of "reasoning" about Jesus and the resurrection (compare 17:2-3). Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, representatives of two of the three major philosophical schools of thought in Paul's day, react to his message. The Epicureans mock, What is this babbler trying to say? The Stoics are curious: He seems to be advocating foreign gods.
Epicureans, atomic materialists, viewed reality as an endless chance combining and dispersion of atoms. They would find the concept of bodily resurrection laughable (Epicurus Epistle to Menoeceus 123-32). The Stoics, materialist pantheists, identified the divine as the principle of reason pervading all and, in the form of fate, governing all. Because of either their cyclic eschatology (belief that there were periodic conflagrations of the universe after which history simply repeated itself) or their later adoption of the Platonic concept of the soul's immortality, they could not conceive of resurrection (Chrysippus Fragment 625; Bahnsen 1980:11). Luke seems to indicate that they thought Paul was pointing to a female goddess, Anastasis, consort of the male god Jesus (McKay [1994] disagrees, finding no extrabiblical evidence for "Anastasis" as a female deity).
These reactions show us that Paul had proclaimed the simple gospel with integrity to the intellectual sophisticates of Athens. And we must reintroduce post-Christians to Jesus with freshness, without resorting to the traditional formulations they will call the "old, old story." But we must do so with faithfulness, telling it the way it was and is.
Paul's message has created such a stir among the Epicureans and Stoics that they bring him before the Areopagus, Athens's chief legislative and judicial council. This body licensed traveling lecturers, and Paul's hearers want to see whether he should be given freedom to continue to teach. They want to understand this new teaching, for some strange (rather, "surprising, astounding") ideas are coming to their ears.
The Athenians had an ambivalent relation to "foreign gods." On the one hand, they were famous for incorporating alien deities into their pantheon (Strabo Geography 10.3.18). On the other hand, they believed they must stay vigilant lest "new gods" undermine the morals of the state (Stahlin 1967:7). So the issue here is understanding followed by evaluation: is this something good or not?
The fearless and relevant witness that follows models an approach that some Christians in every society must take. They must engage the opinion-makers and shapers of thought and "do battle with contemporary non-Christian philosophies and ideologies and philosophies in a way which resonates with thoughtful, modern men and women, and so at least gain a hearing for the gospel by the reasonableness of its presentation" (Stott 1990:281).
Luke seems to prepare us for the relative lack of positive response to Paul's sermon by portraying Athenians as intellectual dilettantes more than genuine seekers after truth. With skepticism making major inroads in the first century, Athens's intellectual life was characterized by uncertainty, turmoil and lack of progress, so that hunger for and fascination with the new was very strong (Bahnsen 1980:12). The postmodernist phase of the post-Christian era manifests the same tendencies. W. D. Davies, veteran New Testament scholar, wonders, "Is ours one of those situations in which `Things fall apart; the center cannot hold' because there is no one center and often no centers? . . . The new pluralism can often become banal, trivial and pretentious, like a fish in that ocean [of the transcendent] always keeping its mouth wide open, afraid to shut it, and therefore never taking a bite" (1986:58).
With irony Paul gives his assessment of the Athenians. He "sees" (theoreo, in the sense of perceives or understands; 17:16; 21:20; 27:10) that they are very religious (hos deisidaimonesterous). The Athenians' reputation for religious piety is well attested (Pausanias Description of Greece 1.17.1; 1.24.3; Strabo Geography 9.1.16). Hos desidaimonesterous may be understood either negatively as superstitious fear of the gods (Plutarch Moralia 164E-71F) or in a neutral, even positive sense, as the NIV (Aristotle Politics 5:9:15, p. 1315a). Paul puts the ambiguity to good use. In light of verses of 23 and 30, he probably wants to say "they have a religion . . . but it is wrongheaded" (Bock 1991:119). Here we have a respectful recognition of religious endeavors but not an acknowledgment that they lead to true, saving faith. Paul is telling a simple but limited truth and creating a basis for further comment.
Paul now uncovers the Athenians' admitted need: the knowledge of the one true God. As he walked around and observed (literally, "looked at again and again, examined carefully") their objects of worship, he found an altar with the inscription TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Though there are a number of reports of such altars (Pausanias Description of Greece 1.1.4; 5.14.8; Philostratus Life of Apollonius of Tyana 6.3), only Diogenes Laertes (Lives of the Philosophers 1.110) gives a reason for their origin. Once when Athens was plagued by pestilence in the sixth century B.C. and the city rulers had exhausted all their strategies to abate it, they sent to Crete, asking the prophet Epimenides to come and help. His remedy was to drive a herd of black and white sheep away from the Areopagus and, wherever they lay down, to sacrifice them to the god of that place. The plague was stayed, and Diogenes Laertes says that memorial altars with no god's name inscribed on them may consequently be found throughout Attica. Wycherley proposes, with some archaeological justification, that such altars may also have been raised to appease the dead wherever ancient burial sites were disturbed by the building projects of later generations (1968:621).
Paul now makes his point of contact, saying that what [they] worship as something unknown (literally, "what they worship being ignorant") he will proclaim to them. Those who take these words as expressing both a positive and a negative relation between the religious pagan and the one true God see the positive relation as an ignorant worship of God (Haenchen 1971:521; Talbert 1984:74; Stott 1990:285). No new god is being introduced; it is simply that God's identity is being unveiled to those who admit, if only unconsciously, their ignorance.
And what about those in cultures who have never heard the gospel? Does the "positive" relationship Paul points to mean these ignorant worshipers are saved? Clark Pinnock is agnostic and says Acts 17:23 does not speak directly or decisively to this question (1991:110).
Yet the phrasing of the statement and the immediate context point to the conclusion that there is no such positive relation with the one true God. Paul is stressing the ignorance with which they worship, and this is again a limited point of contact; it is just a way to raise the basic question, Who is God? (Williams 1985:297). If Paul's audience has been worshiping the one true God all along, why is their ignorance culpable, something they must repent of (v. 30; compare vv. 27, 29)? Paul carefully uses the neuter "what" (ho . . . touto) in reference to his starting point: their objects of worship. He is probably making a transition to the subject of the divine nature (to theion, neuter). In so doing Paul stands clear of a direct equation of the unknown god and the one true God (Dupont 1979b:541).
Today we must note where post-Christians admit ignorance and study how the light of God's good news dispels that darkness.
Paul challenges Stoic pantheism and Epicurean materialistic deism by testifying that the God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth (Ps 146:6; Is 42:5). The implication for worship is that God does not live in temples built by hands (1 Kings 8:27; Acts 7:48-50). Interestingly, this was a tenet of Zeno, the founder of Stoicism; Plutarch takes subsequent generations to task for abandoning it in practice (Plutarch Moralia 1034B). In chiastic fashion Paul moves immediately to another implication: God is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Service (therapeuo) is "cultic ministry [and] consists in the bringing of sacrificial fruits and any cultic action which might give the impression that the deity is referred to some human performance" (Beyer 1965:129). God's self-sufficiency is affirmed in the Old Testament (Ps 50:7-15) and developed in Jewish prayer (2 Macc 14:35; 3 Macc 2:9). It was also a tenet of Epicureanism (Lucretius On the Nature of Things 2.650; Philodemus Pros eusebeias fr. 38). Paul brushes aside the necessity, let alone appropriateness, of idolatrous worship servicing the divine nature by affirming that, conversely, it is God who gives all men (NIV has supplied men; the reference could be much more comprehensive--all living creatures) life and breath and everything else (Gen 1:29; 2:7; 9:3; Is 42:5; Acts 14:17).
What good news Paul had for the Epicureans and Stoics living as they did under impersonal chance or inexorable fate! Behind or within reality stands neither of these but rather a gracious, personal Creator, Ruler and Sustainer of all. For modern scientific humanity, living as it does within an impersonal universe that has evolved quite by "chance" from the big bang to the last whimper of a dark and frigid night without starfire, Paul's message is also very good news. And for postmodern humanity this gracious, personal God breaks the bonds of pantheistic "karma."
Paul now concentrates on humankind. He affirms the creation of human beings by a direct act and declares that God's design was for various cultures ("every nation," pan ethnos) to cover the face of the earth in a harmonious patchwork of diversity (Gen 1:28; 9:1, 7; 10:5, 20, 31-32). That harmony is born of God's governance of the time period and the space each culture would inhabit (Deut 32:8; Ps 102:13; Dan 2:36-45; compare Stoics on divine providence--Seneca the Younger De Providentia; see Winter 1993:133-36). While Stoicism looked at humankind in its diversity and urged it to consider itself one community, "even as a herd that feeds together and shares the pasturage of a common field" (Plutarch Moralia 329B), Paul affirms both our unity and our diversity.
God's second design (not necessarily growing out of the first, as the NIV states, but parallel to it) was that men would seek him. In the biblical understanding this is "the thankful and reverent longing of the whole man for God whose goodness he has experienced" (Marshall 1980:288; Ps 14:2; Prov 8:17; Is 55:6; Jer 29:13; Amos 9:12 LXX; Heb 11:6).
Yet sin has interjected itself into the human experience, so that our "seeking" has become "groping" with no certainty of success, even though God is still very much present with us (compare Rom 1:18-32). The NIV's presentation of parallel purposes that men would seek him [God] and perhaps reach out (better "grope") for him and find him turns the qualifier clause about groping into a positive part of God's design. This lessens a main theme of the passage: ignorance of God (groping after him) is morally culpable and must be repented of.
Paul goes on to reinforce human responsibility for failing to seek and find God. He asserts God's presence in terms of our dependence on him. For in him we live and move and have our being. This is the converse of the Stoic pantheistic assertion that the divine spark of Reason, God, is in us (compare Dio Chrysostom Discourses 12.27; Posidonius as quoted in Barrett 1961:65). Paul appeals to the fourth- and third-century Stoic philosopher Aratus for confirmation: We are his offspring (Aratus Phenomena 5). His introductory remark (not a quote as NIV) cleanses the Aratus quotation of both its reference to Zeus and its pantheistic metaphysic (compare Renehan 1979:347; Edwards 1992). What is left is some recognition of the true nature of God, especially what humankind's being made in his image says about the divine nature (Bruce 1988:339). Being his offspring refers only to creation, not salvation, as the subsequent call to repentance clearly shows (Bock 1991:119).
For first-century Epicureans and twentieth-century moderns, the fact that God is the Father of humankind is challenging good news. No longer need we settle for the reductionistic explanation of humankind and its activity. We are not simply a complex interplay of electrical impulses, chemical processes, subatomic DNA and environment. And for Stoics and postmoderns, this good news makes us both less and more than they understand us to be. Pantheism or the "God within" is revealed as false, but in its place is the person made in God's image, living in conscious dependence on God.
As twice before (vv. 24-25) Paul draws implications for worship from these truths about God. His basic line of argument, found often in the Old Testament and Jewish literature, is that if like begets like, it is illogical to suppose that the divine nature that created living human beings is like an image made of an inanimate substance, no matter how valuable (Deut 4:28; Is 40:18-20; 44:9-20; Wisdom of Solomon 13:10; 15:7-17). Since such images are the product of human design and skill, they cannot be analogous to the divine being who made humankind.
This posed a direct challenge to some Stoic thought, which claimed that by following traditional myths of the poets and prophets along with innate reason, the divine spark within, idol-makers could appropriately represent the gods (Dio Chrysostom Discourses 12.44-46, 60). Postmodern thinking influenced by the New Age would find itself similarly challenged.
In "the times of ignorance"--all those past generations from the first human beings until Christ (except Noah's generation, Gen 6:5-8; 9:11-17)--God overlooked humankind's sin, especially false worship. He "overlooked" it not by excusing it or failing to notice it, but rather by not punishing it as it deserved (Rom 3:25; Acts 14:16). Now, however, God commands all people everywhere to repent. Each generation's problem is that their ignorant worship is culpable, rebellious, false worship. God's solution is not to receive more information but to make a radical turn from idolatry to the one true God (Acts 14:15; 26:20). Formerly humankind lived in a sinful ignorance that God in his mercy passed over. Now, after sin has been judged in Jesus' death and resurrection, comes the "day of salvation" in a gospel proclaimed in his name, calling for repentance and promising forgiveness. Today there is no room in God's economy, as Paul preaches it, for so-called B.C. Christians--persons saved without knowledge of Christ and his saving work (contrast Kraft 1979:231).
The call to repentance is urgent because the consequences for not repenting--a final judgment and eternal condemnation--are inescapable. The judgment is definite (he has set a day; Lk 17:24, 30; 21:34-36), universal (he will judge the world, or "whole inhabited world"; Acts 11:28; 17:6), fair (with justice; Ps 96:13) and personal (by the man he has appointed, Jesus; Jn 5:27; Acts 10:42). Though the Greek philosophers might envision a judgment on souls in the hereafter as part of a reincarnation scheme, they find a final judgment, as Paul declares it, incredible (Buchsel and Herntrich 1965:933-34).
The proof Paul offers to establish his argument is Jesus' resurrection. That event, itself established by many "undeniable proofs" (1:3), guarantees the reality of this future event and thus authenticates the urgency of the call to repentance. The resurrection is, then, the linchpin for both potential ways of applying the death and resurrection of the Christ to one's eternal destiny. It establishes both the warning of judgment and the promise of salvation blessings (2:32-33; 5:30-32; 10:40-42).
For the Greeks, and especially the Epicureans, resurrections simply didn't happen. Interestingly, Aeschylus said that at the inauguration of the court of the Areopagus, Apollo stated, "Once he [man] is slain; there is no resurrection" (Eumenides 648). No wonder some Areopagus members, especially Epicureans who saw death as merely a dispersal of atoms, respond to Paul with mockery. And modern empiricists respond to such incredible claims in the same way. Greg Bahnsen's point is well taken (1980:9, 17-22): we will be following Paul's example and spend our energies wisely if we try to help moderns wrestle with the presuppositions that prevent them from even entertaining the possibility of a resurrection, rather than trying to prove its historicity within a modern scientific framework.
The Stoics seem to respond to Paul with jaded curiosity: We want to hear you again on this subject. Though at other times during his missionary witness Paul was able to capitalize on people's genuine curiosity (13:42, 44; 17:2, 11), Luke does not tell us whether Paul ever had opportunity to take the Areopagites up on their request. At the very least, their response delays Paul's licensing and effectively curtails his activity. Paul will encounter such exercises in procrastination again (24:25; 26:28). Procrastination leaves people in their unrepentant state, facing only certain judgment. They must embrace the Savior now if they are to be rescued from wrath later, when he comes as Judge. Postmoderns who delay commitment must watch out lest they procrastinate all the way to the judgment seat of Christ.
But some (tines; NIV's few may be too negative) of Paul's hearers do decide to become followers of ("associate intimately with"; 5:13; 9:26; 10:28) Paul and express saving faith (16:31, 34; 17:12). Luke names Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus council, and Damaris, probably part of the crowd and a foreign-born courtesan, since no Greek women of polite society would have had an opportunity to hear Paul in public (Metzger 1971:459-60, following Ramsay; Polhill 1992:378-79 thinks this is a general summary statement about fruit from witness in synagogue, marketplace and Areopagus, and therefore does not necessarily say anything about Damaris' social status). Luke desires the same believing response from his readers--Theophilus, his fellow seekers and us.

Apr. 28 - The 2011 Montana Legislature has finally ground to a halt. Our thanks to the great MEA-MFT members who called, e-mailed, and rallied to tell legislators the right thing to do. Your help made all the difference.
We had many victories. We stopped a lot of bad bills. We helped restore many of the worst cuts to the state budget (HB 2)
But the decks were stacked against us, with a tea party-controlled Republican majority that just plain did not care that the revenue was available for the pay plan, essential services, etc. They wanted to cut, and cut they did. Results would have been so much worse without MEA-MFT and our members.
Take-home lesson: Please be very careful how you vote in 2012.
Bottom line:
MEA-MFT Final Priority Bill Status Report
Bills we supported that passed
HB 122 (Malek) – to fund public employee retirement system
Passed Legislature
Bills we opposed that passed
SJ 11 (Jim Peterson) – resolution to urge board of regents to adopt faculty post-tenure review process
Passed Legislature – Done deal. The governor cannot veto resolutions. Fortunately, this one really doesn't mean much.
Bills we watched that passed:
SB 329 (Zinke) – to fund k-12 public schools
Passed Legislature. There is no way SB 329 satisfies everyone in the education community, but if we are now free and clear of radical efforts to privatize Montana public schools, destroy the teaching profession, and wreck our union, then let it be. Read news articles about SB 329:
School-funding | Plan to redirect mountain of cash would hit about one-third of state's districts, aid others: Oil-and-gas tax reallocation looms
Multimillion-dollar cash flows may be done in oil, gas school districts - sort of
HB 2 (McNutt) – state budget (appropriations bill)
Passed Legislature. MEA-MFT helped reverse many of the original terrible and unnecessary budget cuts. Read Apr. 28 news article on what's in the budget now: "What is really in budget bill?" Also read analysis by the Montana Budget & Policy Center.
Dead bills we supported:
HB 13 (Hiner) – Pre-budget negotiated - State Employee Pay Plan
Failed House after many attempts to revive it. For the first time in history, the legislature has rejected a proposed pay plan that state employee unions and the governor bargained as the law directs.
HB 75 (McClafferty) – MEA-MFT bill – to provide state funding of Head Start
Tabled House Appropriations
HB 136 (Schmidt) – Governor's school funding bill
Tabled House Education
HB 189 (Dick Barrett) – MEA-MFT bill – to fund TRS & create professional retirement option
Tortured, then murdered in the House
HB 266 (Sands) – MEA-MFT bill – to increase funding of university faculty optional retirement plan
Tabled House State Administration
HB 439 (Hollenbaugh) – to authorize bonding for certain buildings (Historical Society, Missoula COT, etc.) – required 2/3ds vote in each house of the legislature
Failed House. Read news story. HB 439 was THE jobs bill of the session. It deserves to pass. It would have put private sector folks to work -- and when the work is done, we would have had hundreds of public sector members working in far better facilities across our state.
HB 632 (Taylor) – to use expendable portion of the coal tax to pay down unfunded liabilities in TRS, PERS, Sheriffs', and Game Wardens' (Correctional Officers') retirement systems
Passed House – Failed Senate
HB 590 (McClafferty) – MEA-MFT bill – to establish statewide school employee health insurance pool

Passed Senate - Tabled House State Administration
SB 130 (Wanzenried) – MEA-MFT bill - to qualify certain school classified employees for unemployment compensation
Tabled Senate Business & Labor
Dead bills we helped defeat:
HB 145 (Ken Peterson) – to prohibit public employees from serving in state legislature
Tabled House State Administration
HB 154 (Knox) – to empower anybody to be superintendent of public instruction
Failed House
HB 197 (Hoven) – constitutional amendment to empower legislature to modify public employee retirement plans –

PORTLAND — The 10th-largest yacht in the world is berthed in Portland this week.
The Rising Sun, a five-story, 82-room super yacht owned by billionaire David Geffen, arrived Tuesday morning at the Ocean Gateway International Marine Terminal. The yacht also was in Portland and Bar Harbor last September.
It is unclear how long the yacht will stay in Portland, said Nicole Clegg, spokeswoman for the city of Portland.
The Rising Sun is 453 feet long and reportedly cost more than $200 million to build. It has an extensive wine cellar, bathrooms with Jacuzzis, a private cinema and a basketball court that doubles as a helicopter landing pad, according to the yacht's Wikipedia page.
The Rising Sun can accommodate up to 16 guests and 45 crew members, according to Superyachts.com.
The yacht was built for Larry Ellison, the CEO and co-founder of Oracle, an enterprise software company, according to Forbes.com.
Geffen, who bought the yacht from Ellison several years ago, is a record executive and film producer who started DreamWorks Studios with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Fred E. Gignoux, a Portland-based steamship agent and customs broker established in 1918, is acting as agent for the Rising Sun. Owner Justin Costello could not be reached for comment.
Last year, the Rising Sun was charged $2.10 per linear foot for each day it was berthed in Portland. Clegg said she expects the Rising Sun to be charged about $2,000 per day for berthing and amenities fees while it's in Portland.

Chicago Fire 1 – 1 San Jose Earthquakes
Buck Shaw Stadium – July 28, 2012
Chicago Fire Head Coach Frank Klopas
On the match:
"It was a very good match from our team. We played very well, created a lot of chances, and scored a great goal. We came here to take 3 points, but the way the game ended we feel very disappointed. We played against the best team, but it hurts the way it ended… Sometimes the game is harsh. It's a good point to take away on the road."
On Moving forward:
"We just need to continue playing well. The effort was great but we just need to play consistently all the way until the end. None of the games are going to get any easier and there's a lot on the line but it's exciting. You want each game to mean something and most of the games will because we play teams in our conference."
Fire Goalkeeper Sean Johnson:
On the match:
"I thought as a whole we played well. San Jose has been a team that has capitalized late in games all year… We were disappointed not to take away three points but we need to look at it as a positive moving forward. We came in to a tough place to play… and on the road you always want to come away with a point but it is disappointing since we had the game in hand for so long."
Fire Midfielder Chris Rolfe:
On the match:
"I thought we played pretty well. We were organized as a team and gave up some chances but Sean [Johnson] came up big for us."
On his goal:
"I had a time to turn in the midfield and played it to Patrick [Nyarko] and I know [Nyarko] likes to play it back to me and he found me in good space."
On Johnson's Performance:
"It was phenomenal. One of the best performances I've seen from goalie in a long time. I'm really proud of him and I think he's done a great job for us in the last few games."
On moving forward:
"We were disappointed with how it ended, but I think looking forward we're going to see a lot of positives in it and help us move forward into next weekend."
Fire Forward Sherjill MacDonald
On his first game in MLS:
"It was a little difficult for me because it was my first game in a long time. It wasn't so bad, but obviously I can do a lot better and I'm looking forward to the next game.
On team's performance:
"I think we played a very strong team and we did well. The defense played well, especially Sean Johnson."
On game:
"This team just keeps going and never gives up. I am proud of the guys for their fight and effort, but also for their very good play. We moved the ball well and we created a ton of chances. I told them at halftime to get the ball into dangerous areas and the goals would come. Sean Johnson had a tremendous night and that kept them in the game, but we kept pushing to the end and got a well-deserved point."
On Steven Lenhart:
"I am just happy for him. He's got seven goals now and it couldn't happen to a better guy. He has fought through a lot and he is a great person and a great teammate. Everyone in this locker room is happy for him when he does well and he came through tonight. That was a great strike and it got us a valuable point."
On the late goal:
"It was a great team effort. It was a great layoff from Wondo (Chris Wondolowski). I just was able to finish his pass. We have a great partnership between everyone on the team to be honest. We prepare well and we show up to play the entire game. The credit goes to Wondo, though. He is a special player and he gave me a great ball."
On the mentality of the team:
"We never say die and we never come into a game or at any moment in the game do we think that we are going to lose. I think we have had that mentality all season. We are very strong as a team with our focus and determination."
On playing with Jed Zayner for first time:
"Obviously Jed has a lot of experience in this league and he is a great professional and can step in and do the job at any time. I thought he played a great game tonight; he was up and down the wing and really contributing on the right side. It was really great to see him get his first action with us and a sign for much more out of him."
On Chicago Fire Goalkeeper Sean Johnson:
"I thought Sean was awesome tonight. Full credit has to go to him, he kept them in the game tonight with save after save. We would have had a couple more if it weren't for him. He has a bright future ahead of him; he is a future senior national team goalkeeper and I told him that. He was fantastic."
On Steven Lenhart:
"Had to be Lenny (Steven Lenhart) on wig night; it was written this way. His first game back, he came in and did what he always does: a bull in a china shop. He deserves the goal and played fantastic, the entire team played great. But Lenny and the boys kept battling and we got a big point tonight."

To urinate while standing up. While it is considered the normal way to urinate if you are a man, standing up becomes an issue due to the noise the falling urine makes when it hits the water in the toilet. This noise may cause embarrassment if others are around, and the man may avoid this while at a significant other's house by sitting down to do his business.
