Saab partners on bid for $2 billion Close Combat Vehicle Program in Canada — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Canada, Companies, Countries, development program, Events, Press Releases, production program, SAAB
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Defence and Security company Saab and ABB is partnering with BAE System in a competitive bid for the Department of National Defence (DND) $2 billion Close Combat Vehicle (CCV) program. The Canadian Army requires high survival medium weight vehicles for future missions. The bid includes a total of 108 vehicles along with an option for the purchase of an additional 30 vehicles.
A significant portion of the vehicle will be manufactured in Canada through the government's Industrial Regional Benefits (IRB) program. IRB policy requires business activity in the Canadian economy equal to 100 per cent of the contract value.
Saab has named ABB Analytical to source, supply and produce an electro-optic control system. This program that will have important impact on the local economy, creating about 50 jobs for ABB and sub-contractors located in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario as well as extend economic value across Canada.
"The Saab model ensures job maintenance for engineering and technical staff as well as the creation of new jobs.

Rafale Wins One As India Accepts Dassault's Bid for MMRCA
Filed under: Boeing, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, D'Assault, Events, France, India, Lockheed Martin, MiG, Military Aviation, production program, SAAB
The long running sage of India's new fighter contract took a major step closer to completion yesterday as the Indian government announced that Dassault Rafale will be considered for the South East Asian country's Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) contract. In November there had been a decision to start the process to select the final winner of the contract with the choice between the Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon.
The MMRCA started over two years ago and companies from across the globe submitted bids. The original proposals came from America's Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Boeing (BA) along with the two Western European contractors as well as Sweden's SAAB and Russia's MiG. A series of trails and evaluations were conducted along with analysis of the proposals and the decision was made in November to eliminate all but Dassault and Eurofighter.
The contract for 126 advanced fighters could be worth well over $10 billion including the cost of support, spares and engineering.
The next few months will see the Indian government negotiating the final terms of the contract including the key provision of offsets. Dassault is proposing to transfer the production capability for the aircraft to India with over 100 of the aircraft being at least partially manufactured and assembled there.
Previously India had relied primarily on British and Russian equipment while trying to invest in an indigenous arms capability. Recently they have realized that in order to gain access to more advanced technology they would need to buy U.S. and European weapons from less traditional suppliers. These have included transports and patrol aircraft from Boeing and Lockheed Martin as well as exploring helicopter and artillery buys from Western Europe.
India has always demanded strict offsets and investment in their economy and have had to adjust these rules to allow companies like Boeing and others from the U.S. to bid. Even so it is good business for a winning bidder to be able to set up production facilities in India as it allows access to that growing market.
The win is significant for Dassault which has struggled to find a buyer beyond the French military and faced issues with keeping their employees busy and revenues up. The Indian contract will aid in both.

India Moves A Step Closer On Fighter Decision
Filed under: Boeing, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, D'Assault, development program, Events, India, Lockheed Martin, MiG, Military Aviation, production program, Proposal, SAAB, Services
As reported last month India's Government announced on Friday that they have begun the final process for selecting the winner in the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) contract. This is to buy a modern, Western fighter aircraft to replace some aging Russian ones and supplement a modern fighter being jointly developed by India and Russia. After a lengthy contest the remaining two contenders are Eurofighter and France's Dassault Rafael.
On the 4th the committee responsible for negotiating the price of the 126 aircraft and its life-cycle support received the final bids from the two companies. The estimated cost for the contract will be in the $10 billion range. The final review and negotiations leading to the choice of a winner should be completed by the end of 2011.
The contest began almost five years ago and proposals were received from six different companies. Two American; Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Boeing (BA); Sweden's SAAB and Russia's United Aircraft Corp. as well as the two Western European aircraft. Interestingly after the evaluation of the proposals and analysis of the aircraft's capabilities all were eliminated but the Typhoon and Rafael. This was a blow to the U.S. who were hoping to be able to sell a modern fighter to India building upon two earlier contract negotiations for Boeing's P-8 maritime patrol aircraft and Lockheed's C-130J transport.
The U.S. after their aircraft had been eliminated had raised the idea of proposing a variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) for the contract but India did not entertain that. The JSF is currently in Low Rate Production and is the product of the U.S. and several other countries. Unlike the other six earlier bids it is a Fifth Generation aircraft.
This contract along with Brazil's stalled contest are the only two major foriegn fighter sales currently available although Japan is planning to begin the process to buy a new aircraft. The major aerospace contractors are looking for these deals to make up for reduced spending by the U.S. and European governments due to budgetary pressures and the cut backs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The winning of the Indian contract would be the first foreign sale of the Rafael which is only used by the French Air Force and Navy. The Eurofighter has been sold to Saudi Arabia. Both aircraft were used in the recent air campaign against Libya. Eurofighter would also like the sale as the European partners such as the U.K. and Germany are considering buying less Typhoons then they originally committed to due to funding shortfalls.
The sale to India too would mark a breakthrough as they traditionally have bought Russian or domestic aircraft or with programs like the Hawk trainer manufactured them in India. The contract has stiff offset requirements and the winner will have to invest around $5 billion in the Indian economy. India's offset and technology transfer rules have in the past made it hard especially for American companies to bid on their military contracts. This deal along with others are the result of modifications to those rules made in recent years.
This contract will see the first 18 aircraft built overseas and then the remainder manufactured in India.
India To Announce New Fighter In November
Filed under: Boeing, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, D'Assault, development program, Events, India, MiG, Military Aviation, production program, Proposal, SAAB, Services
The Indian Government yesterday stated that it had completed their evaluation of the offset reports submitted by the two bidders for their new fighter program. This will allow Eurofighter and Dassault to submit their final offers with a goal of announcing the winner in November.
The two Western European companies were chosen from among a total of six offerors to go on in the contest after a series of evaluations earlier this year. Lockheed Martin (LMT), Boeing (BA), MiG and SAAB had also proposed aircraft but their proposals were knocked out after a series of reviews and flight demonstrations.
Since Brazil's contest for a similar combat aircraft has seemed to stall the Indian contract is one of the largest foreign sales available at about $10 billion and became very important as the U.S. and Europe plan to reduce their defense spending. With the U.S. focusing on the F-35 from Lockheed and countries like Great Britain, Germany and France ending their buys of the Eurofighter there has been little sales for other fighters. The Dassault Rafael and SAAB Gripen have not found another user other then the home nation as well which put pressure on them to try and keep their production line going.
The elimination of the two U.S. aircraft was also a surprise as India had been looking to that country for more equipment. This has included purchases of Boeing P-8I maritime patrol aircraft and C-17 transports. The choice not to have one of their fighters continue into the next round dealt a blow to the U.S. defense contractors hope of selling more to India.
When the decision is made it will mark the end to an over four year acquisition process with a hope that there will not be any corruption issues as has happened with so many Indian procurement programs in the past. The new fighter is a key component of the upgrading of the capabilities of India.
SAAB to Provide Training Targets for U.S. Army
Filed under: Alabama, Business Line, Companies, Contract Additions, Contract Awards, Countries, Department of Defense, Events, Federal Budget Process, logistics, production program, SAAB, Services, States, Sweden, training, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy
The U.S. defense budget encompasses spending on all different types of products and services. The increase in spending after 9/11 required a ramp up of suppliers for all of the things the Pentagon wanted to buy. Due to the shrinking of the U.S. industrial base in the Nineties after the "Peace Dividend" was executed by President Clinton and Congress this meant for some items the U.S. had to turn to foreign suppliers. Many of these defense contractors also expanded their U.S. operations through mergers & acquisitions of U.S. based corporations.
That did not mean, though, that some suppliers had already entered the market. Swedish aerospace company SAAB (SAAB:Stockholm) has been delivering training targets to the U.S. Army since the 1970's. They continue this work with qualification on a recent Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (ID/IQ) contract to supply these targets. SAAB is one of five contractors qualifying and they could win up to $475 million in orders if all parts of the contract is executed.
SAAB has been providing similar systems since 2002 for the Army and Marine Corps. The targets will be used on different ranges to support weapon qualification and training.
SAAB recently won a major contract to install their Sea Giraffe radar system on U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). The radar will be used by the Austal America version of the LCS built in Mobile, AL. The shipbuilder's parent company is Austal in Australia so the program has a definite international flare.
Even though the U.S. defense budget is expected to decline significantly over the next decade that does not mean international providers will be forced out. Many of them have a substantial U.S. presence now and some provide products necessary for the U.S. There will also be contracts that they will win because they have the best bid but it will become harder for them to do this.

Navy Goes International for LCS Radar
Filed under: Austal, Business Line, Companies, Contract Additions, Contract Awards, Countries, Department of Defense, Events, Lockheed Martin, Marinette Marine, production program, SAAB, Services, Sweden, U.S. Navy, United States
Update at 1700 CDT – The post has been updated to make clear that the SAAB radar has been selected only for the Austal USA version of the LCS.
The U.S. Navy's new Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a small combatant designed to fight close in to shore. It will carry out a series of different missions including anti-piracy operations, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), surveillance and reconnaissance and sanction enforcement. It is unique to the U.S. Navy at this time in that two very different designs with the same basic capability are being built from two contractors This is to allow rapid production.
LCS construction is being carried out by Lockheed Martin (LMT) teamed with Marinette Marine Corp. of Wisconsin as well as Austal USA, a subsidiary of Australian company Austal. The Navy has ordered 9 of the ships so far split between the two teams.
The Navy announced this week that it has decided to install the Sea Giraffe AMB radar onto the Austal USA version of the LCS. This system is manufactured by SAAB's (SAABB) American subsidiary. The "Agile Multi-Beam" radar provides air and surface surveillance capabilities and is used to generate a three dimensional picture of the area to support operations. It has already been installed on a variety of combatants in use with countries like Sweden, Canada and Australia.
No value for the contract was given.
The first two, LCS 1, USS Freedom, and LCS 2, USS Independence, have already been completed.
The Navy had gone back and forth on the acquisition strategy for the ship due to concerns about price and schedule after the first two were put on contract. The original plan to use the two sources was ended and there was discussion of ordering batches of ten to a single producer at a time. After the proposals were received for the first contract from Lockheed and Austal the prices were so good the Navy went back to ordering from two suppliers.
Late last year the Navy gave contracts for ten ships each to the two companies.
The LCS remain controversial due to their size, weapon suite and capabilities. The Navy seems committed to the program and has begun large scale production. The decision to use the Sea Giraffe also highlights their commitment. It is uncommon for a non-American system to be ordered like this. The standard U.S. Navy radar and combat system, the AEGIS Weapon System, is much too large for the LCS and buying an existing system like this should save time and schedule.
As with all new classes of ships once they have been in service for a few years, worked out their kinks and demonstrated their capabilities they will be accepted and should be a valuable addition.
Due to the concerns about future shipbuilding budgets and capabilities the LCS if it really is built in the numbers proposed will make up a decent portion of the U.S. surface fleet by mid-Century. Ships last a long time and can receive incremental upgrades as technology progresses and that is what will happen with this class.
EADS Enters into Agreement with Wipro to Get Ready for Fighter Production
Filed under: Boeing, Business Line, Companies, Contract Additions, Contract Awards, Countries, D'Assault, EADS, Events, France, India, Lockheed Martin, MiG, Military Aviation, production program, Proposal, SAAB
As India moves forward with its contest for a new fighter to be made by a Western producer the potential suppliers are angling to get ready for the contract to start. The contest started over two years ago for the advanced aircraft and bids were received from six different suppliers. These included the American companies Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), Russia's MiG, Sweden's SAAB, the multi-national consortium Eurofighter and France's Dassault.
Recently as part of the contract evaluation process the Indian selection authorities made a decision to eliminate all of the aircraft but the two from Western Europe.
As part of this contract as with most Indian defense deals there are significant offset requirements that must be met. Actually to spur bids from Western companies who previously had found it hard to participate in contests the Government reduced their requirements from traditionally very high ones. Offsets require the winner to spend some percentage of the total contract value in the awarding country. Often it can be by buying parts, or paying for assembly work, or in some other business line as long as it meets the total requirement. Boeing (BA) has begun to do this as part of their contract for six P-8I maritime patrol aircraft.
Even though no winner has yet to be announced for the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) contract companies like EADS (EADS:P) who are part of the Eurofighter consortium that makes the Typhoon fighter have begun to position themselves if they do win. The company has announced a deal with Indian consortium Wipro to provide components to its subsidiary CESA.
Even if Eurofighter does not win the MMRCA contract this agreement will support EADS production of other aircraft and aerospace components if they want to use it. As with all of the large aviation contractors EADS is looking for expansion into Asia to be nearer emerging markets as well as perhaps to gain benefits of labor costs and available infrastructure.
As the decision on who will win this contract gets closer more of the companies involved in the production of the two contenders will be announcing deals like this. India's policies require this investment and in the long run it only makes good business sense.

Cake shop makes cakes that look like everyday Japanese meals
A cake shop in Tokyo that made its name making delicious cakes that looked like delicious ramen and gyoza is at it again. Maplise, in Tokyo, is known for making cakes that look like other foods. One look at these cakes, and you're not going to know what you want to eat.
Talk about your cravings getting confused. You want some cake, but what's put in front of you is a mouthwatering serving of eel over rice. So naturally, now you want the eel, not the cake. Maybe you can have a cake for dessert. So you take a bite out of the eel, but it tastes like cake. Wait a minute! What's happening?
What's happening is you're eating a cake from Maplise, a cake shop in the Shinjuku section of Japan. Starting out with ramen and gyoza cakes, Maplise has now moved on to oden (Japanese winter dish) cakes, katsudon (pork cutlet over rice) cakes, unadon (eel over rice) cakes, and omurice (rice omelette) cakes. Now, these cakes have nothing to do with the aforementioned dishes besides their appearance. Inside is custard, sponge cake, jello, pudding, etc. All the cakes are sweet, of course, and taste nothing like what they look like, and you also never know what's actually in the cake, so you're constantly being surprised. And remember, these are Japanese bakers, and they take their craft very seriously, so the flavor is just as amazing as the deceiving appearance.
Maplise is planning a new line of cakes for next season and every season after. Stay tuned!

First, cheers to Smile Gallery Dental for their contribution to this article. Let's roll.
Surely everyone has tried at least a dozen of different toothpastes during their adult life and knows that, like all cosmetics and cleansing products, finding the right match requires a bit of involvement from your side. Although such a trivial product nowadays like toothpastes can seem the least important on the scale, compared to say your toothpaste or or your eating and drinking habits, it might not be a smart decision to leave this choice to chance.

Last week I set a goal of cleaning off the buffet. I usually make a list of all of my goals. Sometimes I try to remember all of them, but with three kids, I forget a lot of things. It usually works like this. I set a goal and then forget it a lot of times and finally write it down on a piece of paper. Next I do the things on the list that are totally necessary for every day life, like buying milk. Then I set the list somewhere, where I never see it again. When I remember the goal again, I write it on the new list that I am working on. One day I decided that nothing was getting accomplished except for me buying milk, so I got a small notepad, the size that would fit into a back pocket. I wrote all of my goals into the notebook and put it securely into my purse so that I wouldn't loose it. I felt so free. I had my goals written down and wouldn't loose the paper. … Then I forgot what the goals were, I forgot to look at the new notebook, and I forgot that I had a new notebook. So, I forgot to clean off the buffet, but we do have milk.
What are your goals? How do you reach them?

Four-time boxing world champion Carl Froch reveals details about the traumatic birth of his daughter in the latest issue of Hello! magazine.
Froch, also known as "The Cobra" and his fiancée, Rachael Cordingley, welcomed their daughter Penelope on September 11 this year.
Gracing the cover of Hello! with his daughter Penelope, Froch revealed that Penelope was diagnosed with a serious illness just hours after her traumatic birth. The Nottingham-born boxer told Hello! magazine that her birth was complicated by shoulder dystocia, when the baby's head emerges but one of the shoulders becomes stuck behind the mother's pubic bone.
The 38-year-old said: "It is fitting that she is a boxer's daughter because she is a fighter. She was fighting for her life the day she was born." After her birth, Penelope appeared lifeless as she had been starved out of oxygen.
"'I was in shock. I couldn't speak. Being a fighter, I tend to take the bull by the horns but I couldn't do anything and that made me feel helpless.'
'Her head came out at 5.59am and she was born at 6.02 – the same length as a boxing round; the longest, most traumatic round of my life.'
'When she made that first feeble cry, I burst into tears. It takes a lot to upset me but this was the most distressing thing I have ever experienced.'
A day later the family was back into hospital as Cordingley had a severe headache, and they had taken baby Penelope with them. He further revealed, "'A nurse noticed that Penelope had a temperature and was a bit lethargic.'
'Within an hour, she was in an incubator, hooked up to an intravenous drip and being given antibiotics and oxygen. We hadn't even come in for Penelope but for the next two weeks I was in and out of hospital and feared the worst.'"
Penelope, the couple's third child together, was diagnosed with group B streptococcus infection, which can be deadly for infants, and suspected meningitis. Recalling the incident Froch said, "It was a rollercoaster of emotions, the worst two weeks of my life."
After ten days of treatment and antibiotics, Penelope finally recovered prompting Rachael to call her a "little miracle baby".
The four-time world champion won 33 of his 35 fights during a glittering career, including 24 by knockout but announced his retirement in July after 14 months out of the ring following his defeat of George Groves. But for his loyal fans there is good news for his promoter Eddie Hearn hinted that Froch could be tempted out of retirement to face Gennady Golovkin in 2016.

The Mystical Poetry of Ramon Lull
eBook (ePub)
Price: $14.95
Ramon Lull, the "Apostle of Africa." Lull lived far back in the thirteenth century, not long after the days of St. Francis of Assisi, whose disciple he was. He gives us, as it were, a pre-vision of the splendors of that 'Golden Age of Mysticism', which dawned for Spain three hundred years after his birth. His mystic writings and especially his 'ART of CONTEMPLATION ', 'BOOK OF THE LOVER AND THE BELOVED ' and ' THE GREAT ELIXIR ' are full of the purest and noblest spirituality, compounded with the quintessence of love. The style of the poetry is more aligned to the works of the Sufi's than of Western classical poetry. Ramon has both dug deep within the mystical arena and has climbed high into the clouds in both addressing himself, humanity and how God relates to us and we unto Him. In this effort, only the best of his Mystical Poetry are assembled here. This is the first time the these works are together.

Elders Q&A – September 27
Every year, the DSC elders set aside an evening to take questions from DSC members. It's called the "Elders Q&A."
Our next Elders Q&A will take place on the last Wednesday of this month, September 27, at 6:30 PM, with dinner together at 5:30 PM.
If you have a question, we hope you will submit it. Here are four ways to ask your questions:
- Write: Submit your question using your bulletin Comment Card on Sunday and drop that in an offering box.
- Email: Email your question to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Tell: Communicate your question for the Q&A to an elder in person or through email. Click here for faces and emails.
- Show: Show up with your question on the 27th. The elders will take some questions from a mic during the evening.
Of course, it would be helpful to receive your questions early. This helps the elders notice recurring themes, know how to devote time to particular questions, and spend time in a way that best serves the congregation. Any questions that are not addressed at the Q&A will be answered through the DSC Blog or by email.
Before the Q&A, get acquainted with DSC's elders by reading their biographies on the Leadership Page, send them an email, or reach out to them on a Sunday morning.
Also, audio from previous Elder Q&A evenings is available at our Messages Page under the topic "Elder Q&A." For a few recaps from previous years, click here, here, here, and here.
See you at the Q&A on September 27 at 6:30 PM!

Submit Your Questions for our Elders Q&A
Good questions and thoughtful answers are important for healthy relationships, and our relationship as shepherds and flock are no exception. Together we share all of the benefits of salvation as God's new covenant people: forgiveness, adoption, the Spirit, and on and on. Some are shepherds. But we're all bothers and sisters. We're a family. And so DSC's elders are available in the halls around church, by email, and once each year we set aside an evening to take questions in the context of a corporate gathering. We call it, an "Elders Q&A."
Our next Elders Q&A will take place on the last Wednesday of this month, September 28, at 6:30 PM with dinner together at 5:30 PM.
If you have a question, submit it. If you don't, think of one and then submit it. Here are four ways to ask your questions:
- Submit your question using your bulletin Comment Card on Sunday and drop that in an offering box.
- Email your question to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Communicate your question for the Q&A to an elder in person or through email. Click here for faces and emails.
- Show up with your question on the 30th. The elders will take some questions from a mic in the course of the evening.
Of course, we appreciate your questions early. This helps us notice recurring themes and spend our time in a way that best serves the congregation. Any questions that are not addressed at the Q&A will be answered through the DSC Blog or by email.

Is It Morally Permissible for a Christian to Smoke Pot?
At the very tail end of last year's Elders Q&A we were asked about the morality of smoking pot should it become legal here in New Mexico.
As elders we might handle a question like this a number of ways. We handle it on the spot when we're ready to be thoughtful enough on the question. We were all agreed as to our answer, but given that it was the last question of the night and given that it requires some careful handling, we said we'd follow-up with a post on the blog. We didn't expect it would take us this long, but it's been a full and fruitful year.
We're glad now to give some attention to this important question.
First, I'll mention some of the more helpful reads on the topic. For example, at The Gospel Coalition, Joe Carter answers the question, "Is Recreational Marijuana Use a Sin?" Then, at Desiring God, John Piper addresses the issue in his article, "Don't Let Your Mind Go to Pot." Ed Welch has a nice piece written from the concern of a biblical counselor. Then, there's a very important piece at The Heritage Foundation, "Legalizing Marijuana: Why Citizens Should Just Say No." That piece addresses a slightly different question than the one raised at the Q&A, but one we should consider, and the piece is built on a body of substantial research which shows what Marijuana does to the human body, to a human life, and to society, including especially the urban poor. Then, there are articles like, "Marijuana Is Harmful: Debunking 7 Myths Arguing It's Fine," based on a book by a similar title by Kevin Sabet, a former Senior Advisor in President Obama's drug policy office. All of this is worthy reading for the person who wants a grasp on the matter from several angles.
In the course of all this research it seemed helpful to actually write something on the subject. So, over at Desiring God, you'll find a piece titled, "Five Questions to Ask Before You Consume Cannabis." Don't think of this like a position paper from the elders, or an official statement like the "Statement on Gender, Marriage, and Sexuality" we released about a year ago. Do think of it as the Scriptural counsel we would provide to you in answer to the question, "Is it morally permissible for me to smoke pot?" Do think of it like the kind of reasoning and exhortation you might hear in a sermon where the topic is raised.
Here's from the beginning and the end of the article.
Recent trends in the direction of the full-scale legalization of marijuana suggest that pot is undergoing a dramatic marketing makeover.
One cannabis branding firm put it this way: "There is a huge untapped market here. It's about reaching nonconsumers: women, young people, business professionals, grandmothers and soccer moms." Get ready: if it hasn't already, your favorite show will probably feature marijuana in a way that makes it feel cool — whether in a joint, a pot-tart, a keefcat, or a pot-brownie.
This means that Christians will need to think more carefully about marijuana than most of us have until now. Not everyone will consume pot, but most everyone will be in a position to advise someone who is considering it.
So, brothers and sisters, don't be intoxicated with popular culture's messaging on this issue, and don't seek the intoxicating artificial peace promised by chemicals like THC. But while life is hard and escapes are tempting, they are not the answer. Thankfully, Christ is our answer, and not only does he fill our hearts with himself but he forgives us for seeking life in the broken cisterns of chemically induced euphoric escapes.
Don't get drunk with wine, and don't intoxicate yourself with a plant. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, be sober minded, and stay alert for the coming of Christ — a euphoric experience in deed (Ephesians 5:18; 1 Peter 1:13).

2015 Elders Q&A Recap
On September 30 we hosted this year's Elders Q&A. Families have weekly, seasonal, and annual rhythms to keep them close. From meals to reunions, families have more and less structured ways of staying a family well.
The Elders Q&A is one of our annual rhythms as a church to stay a healthy family. This helps us stay a healthy church in a number of ways: it allows us to get feedback from you; it promotes an atmosphere of honesty and vulnerability; and it opens the lines of communication in a way that is symbolic of how it always really is. We're available to you.
Trent opened the evening with an explanation of why we do this each year. Then, the evening was divided into two parts. In Part 1, Trent moderated pre-submitted questions among the elders. For Part 2, Nathan fielded questions from the floor.
Here's a list of questions we addressed with time stamps for the audio, which is available here.
- 8:23 How does someone become an elder at Desert Springs Church?
- 9:46 How can we, as a congregation, better practically encourage and love the Staff and Elders?
Update to the Doctrinal Statement on Gender, Marriage, and Sexuality
- 11:16 Explanation and reading of the update to the DSC Doctrinal Statement.
- 14:54 If someone is a member and they disagree with us, what should they do?
- 15:40 This sounds like we're hiding from conflict and unwilling to suffer consequences for our convictions. Is this a sign of doctrinal sheepishness or courage?
- 17:12 Can what I believe as a Christian on these matters effect how I operate my business?
- 17:51 People have different kinds of jobs where they may have different kinds of relationships with same-sex ceremonies. Does it matter what kind of a job a person has and how can they discern how to faithfully be a Christian?
- 20:39 What resources would you point a family to who has children interacting with other kids and families who embrace a genderless vision of marriage?
- 23:10 What is the change in the wedding policy, and what might it mean for some people who find themselves outside of what that policy would provide for?
Ministry Related Questions
- 28:33 Why don't we have a college ministry, and why don't we have a single's ministry?
- 31:10 Community Groups are dormant during the summer months, which is 25% of the year. That seems to signal that Community Groups, for as much as we talk about their importance, are programmatically not emphasized like some other ministries that run year-round. Why is this so?
- 32:40 Do all Elders do counseling? Each man has a somewhat narrow area of oversight and one is assigned to Biblical Counseling. Is counseling something that all elders are responsible for?
- 34:04 What happens to the finances when the year is over if there's a surplus in the budget?
DSC's Next Church Plant
- 38:16 Update on Redemption Church.
- 39:44 I've heard rumors that DSC will be planting another church. Is there any substance whatsoever to that rumor?
- 39:56 Why would a church like ours plant more than one church? Isn't one enough?
- 41:03 Who's going to lead us in planting this church?
- 42:31 Not every pastor sets out to plant a church. Why would you, Nathan Sherman, want to plant a church?
- 45:25 What is the timeline for this church plant?
- 45:42 Where will this church plant be established?
- 46:43 How will this church plant be funded?
- 48:04 With whom will this new church plant be affiliated?
- 51:28 Some people have different experiences with denominationalism, and different experiences with the SBC (Southern Baptist Convention) in particular. What would be some misconceptions that you would address for us?
- 55:26 What are we going to do about Nathan leaving? What happens from here? What will the transition look like?
- 57:33 How can someone learn more about this church plant?
Questions from the Floor
- 59:39 What is the church's policy now on usage of the facility? Is there a policy about members only, who can use the church for "other" events (other than weddings)?
- 1:02:49 Are there events that cannot be held at the church in the youth department specifically? Are we able to use the church for youth functions? Is there a policy that says that we don't use the facility for youth functions?
- 1:05:00 Has there been any discussion about growing in our work with Native American communities?
- 1:08:05 Ryan, you recently completed your PhD. Why did you pick John Owen, and how has that helped you personally? How do you think that has helped the church? How does that help the larger church?
- 1:11:07 You said if we had issues with the statement before November 1st, to come and talk with you and we could leave the church without any discipline. Then we talked about employment and career decisions. To me, the implication was if you made that decision to "bake the cake, take the picture etc." After November 1st, you could be subject to church discipline. I just want to make sure I understand what exactly the policy is on that?
- 1:16:19 If New Mexico legalizes marijuana, should a Christian be able to do that?

Lady Thatcher's funeral cost
The latest on the funeral of Lady Thatcher.
The latest on the funeral of Lady Thatcher.
In Grantham, Lincolnshire, later today a personalised rose will be unveiled in honour of Lady Thatcher.
The rose has been named 'Grantham's Thatcher Rose' and will be positioned in the civic area at the Guildhall next to the book of condolences. It will be replanted in Wyndham Park in the future.
The people of Grantham, Baroness Thatcher's home town, will be represented by the Leader of South Kesteven District Council at the funeral today.
Cllr Linda Neal said: "I am honoured to be able to represent people from Grantham and throughout South Kesteven as the nation says farewell to the woman who was born and educated in our town before going on to become the country's first and only female Prime Minister."
Baroness Thatcher was honoured with a ceremonial funeral at St Paul's Cathedral in the presence of the Queen and dignitaries.
If there were protests, they certainly did not disrupt Baroness Thatcher's funeral nor sully what was indisputably a dignified farewell.

MOUNT PROSPECT (CBS) — A northwest suburban man stabbed his brother with a steak knife during an argument Saturday at his Mount Prospect home, then rammed his vehicle into his brother's car, according to police.
The brothers were arguing about 1:40 p.m. in the 100 block of South Audrey Lane when Robert M. Jastrebski, 55, stabbed his brother in the abdomen and hand, police said.
Jastrebski's 59-year-old brother, from Chicago, called police after suffering the injuries, which were not life-threatening, police said. He refused medical treatment.
While the injured man was in his vehicle calling police, Robert Jastrebski backed his vehicle into his brother's before driving away, authorities said.
An officer later stopped Jastrebski's vehicle, which was heading south on Busse Road and he was arrested, police said.
He later admitted stabbing his brother, according to authorities. Prosecutors would not say what motivated the attack.
Robert Jastrebski was charged with a aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and was ordered held on a $100,000 bond.

There is a marketplace in every state in this country for families and individuals to buy health insurance. For those who want to qualify for tax credits or subsidies to help cover the health premiums, one must purchase insurance in his/her particular state's marketplace to get them. The marketplace in all states is required to offer one pediatric dental plan. That dental coverage can be part of an overall medical plan that covers other medical care or even be a stand-alone dental plan only.
There needs to be a little extra caution when looking for and finding a good dental plan. With the cost of dental exams rising, people are looking for more affordable ways to have dental insurance and get good dental care. But, there are many out there who have encountered problems with their dental plans, including partial dental plans that alleviate certain surgical procedures, diagnostic x-rays and even treatment of oral infection. Problems like these hinder hard working people, making situations that much harder. But it is important to remember, that for the most part, the dental plans are not the ones to be blamed. It is time, when looking for a good medical and dental plan to put forth the effort to explore good options. Some factors one should consider before choosing a dental plan include:
• Accessibility to good dental care
• Dental coverage where you need it
• Dental program support
• Freedom choosing a trustworthy dentist
• Savings on dental coverage
When it comes to dental care accessibility, choose a plan with shorter waiting periods. Unexpected dental accidents can happen out of nowhere and having that immediate and affordable dental care so that the sudden need for dental care can be properly addressed. Even before coverage starts, dental plans may make the individual wait.
There are no set criteria to what really makes a dental plan a good one; the resourcefulness relies on the person searching for the dental plan. Explore options between employer-based dental plans and individual dental plans, as sometimes employers can often big savings benefits that can extend to each individual plan member.
Dental plans should summarize the entire amounts of benefits received from the insurance policy that should include annual maximums offered.
A good dental plan should cover the person in the areas where that person needs it most. Consider what is needed to have in the insurance plan: Is it basic services such as checkups or cleanings or is there major work that needs to be done?

Painters Frock, Zebra Print
maxjenny! presents: Advanced Contemporary Fashion-Nordic ArtwearThis frock is actually a copy of my mum´s true workwear-her own painters frock when working in her screenprinting studio.
She has been asked for years if she could sell the coat, but no :-) And she has had several, equally good looking.
I have always thought that you looked cool in this coat so one day I decided to copy it and here it is!
It has large pockets on sides and it closes with push buttons.
Now it has become the total statement coat. Supercool open as a frock but also buttoned down as a dress and the tags on the back makes it easy to have it straight down or knotted together so you get it smaller and more open.
You decide. Made out of 100% nicely woven viscose

In Ken Husser's classroom at Belvidere North High School the things on the walls show a few things about him. They show he loves history and coaches cross country. But what the posters don't capture is the impact he makes at the school.
Principal Marc Eckmann said, "We always want to know that our kids are getting the best learning opportunities they can. With Mr. Husser they definitely do."
It's a great learning opportunity in a great learning environment something Husser stresses, "I want a classroom environment where we can share opinions, we can have discussions, and really in the end that they have value and that they are important."
Husser spends the day teaching students about history, important events in the past, but there is a bigger message he wants students to take with them. "There is this thing called life that goes on. Sometimes there are tragedies and sometimes there are wonderful things that happen," said Husser.
Recently, Husser almost experienced a tragedy in his life when a blood clot formed in his lung. Despite that, he was back to school in a few days something his student freshman Cullen White was shocked about, "He recently got injured and was back in just a few days to say hi to us."
It's his students, Husser says, that keep him young and keep him going, "You're gonna get knocked down in life, but it's how you get back up."

Oak Creek Canyon is a river gorge located along the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. State Route 89A enters the canyon on its north end via a series of hairpin turns before traversing the bottom of the canyon for about 13 miles (20.8 kilometers) until the highway enters the town of Sedona. Oak Creek yields great fishing year round with Rainbow Trout and WILD BROWN TROUT in it's pristine pools from West Fork down to where it enters the Verde River. Oak Creek requires patience, a stealthy approach, and agility in and out of the water.

The Rainbow Trout in Silver Creek are some of the biggest and best Arizona has to offer! They range in size from 12 inches to 25 inches and are quite the fight. Silver Creek also boosts the Apache Trout, which is a native trout to Arizona and can only be found in these waters. A beautiful golden yellow with distinctive dark spots, you'll know when you've hooked a good one. There is an established trail along the creek, but during wet weather the area is extremely muddy. Use caution while traversing the hatchery property. The hatchery is the primary facility for growing & stocking Apache trout, which are one of the state's two native trout species (the other is the endangered Gila trout). The only place Apache trout can be caught in the world is the White Mountains of Arizona. Silver Creek is a small hatchery, producing about 80,000 catchable sized Apache trout each year. Apache trout are stocked into selected streams and lakes in the White Mountains, including Silver Creek, the East Fork of the Black River, West Fork of the Black River, Sheeps Crossing on the Little Colorado River.

By Maria Tsvetkova
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian court found two protest leaders guilty of inciting mass riots on Thursday in a case that the opposition sees as part of a clampdown on President Vladimir Putin's foes while all eyes are on Ukraine.
The state prosecution has called for eight-year jail terms for Sergei Udaltsov and Leonid Razvozhayev, and they were expected to be sentenced later on Thursday.
Udaltsov, who has been under house arrest since February 2013, and Razvozhayev were accused of coordinating protests which turned violent on May 6, 2012, the eve of Putin's inauguration for a third term as president.
"Udaltsov, Razvozhayev ... agreed between themselves repeatedly on the organization of mass disorders on the territory of the Russian Federation," Judge Alexander Zamashnyuk told the Moscow court. The two deny the charges of organizing mass riots and plotting wider unrest, portraying themselves as victims of a political witch-hunt and a crackdown on civil liberties.
Udaltsov, 37, a fiery orator with a shaven head who dressed in black for the hearing, was one of the most prominent leaders of the opposition movement that organized urban protests against Putin in the winter of 2011-12 that have long since faded.
"How many lies in this verdict? One big lie. Udaltsov's testimony was distorted," said an entry on Udaltsov's Twitter account maintained by members of his Left Front political organization.
Razvozhayev, 41, an aide to a member of parliament who is critical of Putin, says he was abducted in Ukraine, smuggled into Russia and forced into signing a confession, which he later disavowed.
Police detained more than 400 people and dozens of officers were hurt in clashes in May 2012 after police restricted the rally on Bolotnaya Square, across the river from the Kremlin. Seven people were jailed in February over the protests.
"Seventy-eight representatives of the authorities (police) were injured," said the judge at a ruling attended by many opposition activists, two of whom were ejected for being "too emotional".
Kremlin critics accuse police of starting the violence at the Bolotnaya rally to discredit the opposition as Putin returned to the presidency after four years as prime minister.
They say the Kremlin uses pliant courts for political purposes and highlight the jailing of seven people in February over the rally. The president denies interfering in court cases but says anyone who attacks police should be punished.
In his third spell as president, following two successive terms from 2000 until 2008, Putin has adopted an increasingly conservative stance to consolidate his public support. His popularity has risen to new heights in Russia since the annexation of the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine in March. However, he could become an international pariah if Russia is found to have provided missiles to rebels in eastern Ukraine, where a passenger jet was brought down last week, killing 298 people.
Putin said this week he would not tighten the screws on opponents. But critics note that another prominent protest leader, Alexei Navalny, is also under house arrest after getting a suspended five-year sentence on charges of theft.
Opponents say Putin has quietly enacted laws which will strengthen his hand in his battle against dissent, including legislation envisaging tougher punishment for people involved in riots and imposing life sentences for various "terrorist" crimes.[ID:nL6N0NS5HT]
He has also approved tighter controls on bloggers, some of whom have emerged as opposition leaders and have used the Internet to criticize Putin and arrange protests. [ID:nL6N0NL3VF]

ABA task force releases its draft report
here is an early commentary from the Chronicle of Higher Education, reprinted in full:
Panel Suggests Dropping Tenure Requirement to Reform Legal Education
By Katherine Mangan
Law-school accreditation standards, including the requirement for tenure, would be relaxed and scholarships would be redirected to students who need them rather than those who help schools climb in national rankings under a draft proposal released on Friday by the American Bar Association's Task Force on the Future of Legal Education.
The report offers a variety of recommendations for a system the panel says is reeling from soaring tuition and student debt loads, three years of sharply falling applications, and significant, possibly structural changes in the legal job market.
"These have resulted in real economic stresses on law schools, damage to career and economic prospects of many recent graduates, and diminished public confidence in the system of legal education," the report says.
Among its specific recommendations:
- The ABA should "repeal or dramatically liberalize" certain accreditation requirements to allow law schools to be more creative in restructuring their programs, cutting costs, and offering a variety of options to students. The standards that could be relaxed include requiring accredited schools to offer tenure.
- Law schools should work with licensing authorities and the bar association to help produce graduates who can provide basic legal services that don't require the expertise of someone with a J.D. degree. They should follow the lead of the State of Washington, which is producing "limited-practice lawyers," who offer services that are affordable to low-income clients and those living in rural areas or small towns. A few other states are also moving in that direction.
- Law schools, which have been expanding hands-on training in recent years, should do even more to teach practical lawyering skills. State supreme courts should test law graduates more on such skills and less on academic subjects.
- U.S. News & World Report should stop using expenditures per student as part of its methodology for ranking law schools. Doing so encourages law schools to spend more and raise tuition, the task force says.
The panel's chairman, Randall T. Shepard, said in an interview on Thursday that he expected it would be "both revered and reviled" when educators begin dissecting the report. He is a retired chief justice of the Indiana Supreme Court and visiting professor at Indiana University's Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
Confronting a Crisis
The task force was created in July 2012 and charged with making recommendations to the bar association on how legal education could be overhauled to deal with its current crisis.
Applications to law schools were down 18 percent this fall, marking the third consecutive year of double-digit decreases. Many schools have responded by cutting the size of their entering classes.
As part of its yearlong information-gathering process, the task force held two public hearings and conducted an online conference as well as a forum for law-school deans. It solicited input from educators, judges, regulators, and other interested parties.
The panel is circulating its draft recommendations for public comment, which it will consider in preparing a final report to be presented, probably in November, to the ABA's House of Delegates. That body is expected to vote on the recommendations in February, a spokesman for the bar association said.
The recommendation to drop tenure as a requirement for accreditation is bound to create intense controversy. Justice Shepard said he expected most law schools would continue to offer it to remain competitive in faculty recruiting.
Faculty members, the report says, tend to resist the kinds of changes legal education needs to consider. "This entrenched culture and structure has promoted declining classroom teaching loads and a high level of focus on traditional legal scholarship," it concludes.
Serving Basic Legal Needs
The entire way the nation delivers legal services needs to be re-examined, the report goes on to say.
The current system of legal education focuses on the J.D., which requires four years of college followed by three years of law school.
By the time students graduate, most have incurred so much debt that they can't afford to represent the many low-income and minority clients who earn too much to qualify for legal aid, but not enough to pay full market prices, the report notes.
While those groups are underserved, law firms that charge high prices for their services are hiring fewer new associates, leaving a mismatch between the country's legal needs and the professionals who are trained to meet them.
What the country needs and law schools can help produce, the report suggests, are professionals with basic legal skills who can handle routine tasks, such as helping people facing foreclosures. Because their training would be cheaper and faster, they could afford to work for lower salaries.
"The current lack of access to legal advice of any kind that exists across the country requires such innovative steps," the report says.
It also calls for a shift toward more need-based scholarships. Under the current system, "students whose credentials are the weakest incur large debt in order to sustain the school budget and enable higher-credentialed students to attend at lower cost," the report notes. While chasing students with high grade-point averages and high scores on the Law School Admission Test and offering them generous scholarships help schools jump in the rankings, that approach leaves too many graduates with overwhelming debts and dismal job prospects, it says.
The report also calls on all of the players in legal education to stop "moralizing and blaming" and to presume that everyone is acting in good faith to fix a system that's badly in need of revamping.
One Educator's Response
Prominent legal educators who have reviewed earlier drafts of the proposal have started weighing in.
Michael A. Olivas, a professor of law at the University of Houston and a former president of the Association of American Law Schools, said schools are already experimenting with curricular models. Relaxing accreditation standards would be mistake, he said, particularly when it comes to the requirement that schools offer a tenure system.
"When times are bad, you need the regulatory process more than ever," he said, adding that he spoke only for himself. "I want to strengthen the hand of the ABA. I don't want 200 free-for-alls at all the various schools."
Mr. Olivas called the idea of developing a process for nonlawyers to offer basic legal advice "craziness" and said it would lead to more unauthorized practice of law and would hurt the low-income clients it was designed to serve. And relying more on part-time, non-tenured faculty members, which the report suggests law schools should be free to do, would lead to more faculty turnover and less institutional loyalty, he said.

We all like binary options because they represent a way to earn a profit without the need of vast knowledge. That comes from the core the fact that binary options rely on the two-choice type of trading, and the underlying assets price doesn't play a significant role in trading. We are talking about the role of the property in comparison to the stock exchange, of course.
The asset and its price do have an impact on the binary options, but that effect is minuscule compared to other forms of exchange.
While we talk about the risk in this kind of trading, we will mention other types of exchange as well as compare binary options with them. If you don't know what those exchanges are and how they work, then feel free to browse the internet and get familiar with them.
Comparison of risk between different exchanges
The risk in trading refers to a chance to lose money in a trade. Various elements influence the size of the risk, and different exchanges react variously to individual events. An event that disrupts the price of an asset will have a significant impact on the stock exchange, but it might only slightly stir the situation on the Forex. And that event might become a two-edged sword on the binary options market. The different type of impact that we can see is due to the nature of the market and its approach to the asset.
The goods people trade on Forex exchange is the currencies. Traders buy and sell currencies to try and earn money by the difference in the currency's value between two points in time. For example, they buy Euro with the dollar because they believe that Euro will get stronger in the future and they will be able to sell Euro for more dollars than they invested. The risk factor in high-profit deals is high because various events that might push the Euro value up might get countered by various other factors.
Risk level is similar in stock exchange as well. A trader will buy shares of a company in the belief that they will gain value. Once they do they can sell it and earn the difference between the purchase and sale prices. The risk rests in the fact that other parts of the market may react and cause events that would slow down the growth of the company and its stocks.
Danger in the binary options trading
This market has reduced risk due to loose connection to the underlying assets found in the trades. A trader in this exchange isn't buying an asset; they speculate the movement of the price of that asset. They just have to do research and decide in which side the price will go. Once the value of the property changes in the right direction the trader makes the profit.
The simplicity of this form of trading led to the creation of software that assists the merchant. Don't trust every software you see, stick to those recommended by big online brokers.

but i just smashed that shit into a tin and put the fan on just in time. jeeez.
going to spend most of today reading foryoursatisfashion and parkandcube, obviously.
parkandcube's shoe bazaar is love. except the pair of boots i want and could actually afford is a 7, and i'm a 4-5.
i've been looking for boots for ages; i need to own at least a pair that i can wear; pumps and brogues are fine for now but it's going to get so cold..
lizares' sheer men's shirts are so beautiful - i'm too short and round to wear one, but hey. craving a rodarte jumper; would make one in it's style but i can't knit for shit. will probably find a poor imitation in a charity shop somewhere and wear it to death.
i'm watching 500 days of summer, eating runts, and comtemplating whether or not the wonderful dream i had last night means anything at all. i'm not sure i want it to, but then i do. it was one of the most beautiful dreams i've had in three years. and i want to explain and i want to say everything i'd like to but i know not to. because i don't want to break everything. because everything is fine as it is. and everything is just fine, and i know i'll fuck it up with my feelings. i'm trying not to think about him. but i always end up thinking about him and it all falls apart. but hey. it's cool. i'll get over him if i don't do anything, because everything always goes away if nothing happens. i'll just try to hold everything back and put it in a box somewhere and seal the box and put it in a dark corner.
instead of finding some kind of happiness with him, i'll continue to have completely empty sex that lacks anything but pure mechanics with some other guy. who, i of course wish was him. but anyway. i should remind myself to stop being such a girl about these things. i should attempt to have a more casual approach; and i do, but sometimes you meet some-one and awaaaay go your principles and your self-inflicted rules about what to do and what to say and you just end up miserable in a huddle of your own guilt and self-loathing.
