Why We Must Change How We Change the World
It's hard to be optimistic about changing the world when our news cycle is dominated by terrorism, violence, and disease. When world events shock us, sometimes our best hopes cave in to our worst fears. Even the most radical activist may be tempted to give up.
But there is a different narrative that summons those of us who dare to care. It begins when we confront the things that have kept millions from breaking free from poverty and injustice. It ends when we find the courage to change how we change the world.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, which consistently ranks among the poorest countries in the world and the most dangerous for women, a group of peacemakers are changing the narrative. Last year I met a Congolese woman who told me how her husband was killed in crossfire between warring militias, how she was violently assaulted by the soldiers who were supposed to protect her, and how she fled her village with her eight children under the cover of night. In the wake of her suffering, she joined a group of women to save small amounts of their own money each week. From her savings, she launched a soap-making business. Over time, she employed others and taught her sisters how to do the same. She helps others to forgive their perpetrators and, together, they are determined to stop the violence against women in a land known as the rape capital of the world.
Today thousands of peacemakers like her are changing Congo, and their numbers continue to swell. They are "waging peace" to save Congo one village at a time.
Welcoming Christ by Welcoming the Stranger
The night was cold and dark as the family approached the border. Ahead of them were miles of desert that would test their will and drain their stamina. What they were doing defied the law. But they were a family, and families will do anything for the sake of their children.
The law they defied was that of Herod. The family: Joseph, Mary and the Christ-child.
As Christians prepare to celebrate Easter, let us remember that the life that ended on the cross began on the road. This Easter, let us remember that Christ the Savior began his life as an immigrant, fleeing the land where he was born to escape Herod's wrath.
Easter is a holiday of new beginnings. It welcomes a new season. It is a time to start fresh. At the heart of Easter is a magnificent reservoir of grace. Of this holiday, Katherine Lee Bates reflected, "It is the hour to rend thy chains, the blossom time of souls." Easter is a time to set people free, fix things that are broken, watch souls blossom — all for glory of the risen Christ.

Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton was gearing up Friday to lift the Police Department's self-imposed moratorium on impounding cars of unlicensed drivers -- a contentious issue for advocates on both sides of the illegal immigration debate.
Bratton said he would recommend that the Police Commission reverse a 2-week-old decision limiting the ability of officers to impound vehicles for 30 days, as state law allows.
Several commissioners said they had questions about the moratorium and the towing policy itself, which is the subject of a lawsuit in federal court challenging its constitutionality.
Bratton said he agreed to the moratorium while awaiting a legal opinion from City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo's office in light of a 2005 federal court decision on vehicle impounds in Oregon.

When the Occupy San Quentin rally ended, San Rafael police followed us to the Richmond Bridge. I don't know if it was Jabari Shaw's orange CDCR jumpsuit that kept them wondering – Is he an escapee, one of ours? – or if it was the sheer magnitude of fearlessness represented by women like Kelly, a former prisoner who would not let her traumatic experience silence her. One brother got so full looking at the guards on the other side of the gate watching that he looked like he was going to leap the gate and hurt someone as he recalled the violations of his person over and over again. Members of All of Us or None dropped everything to embrace him when he left the stage.

No. 20 TCU 55, Portland St. 13
Josh Boyce caught a short pass near the line of scrimmage and
turned into a wide-open lane to the end zone to finally give No. 20
TCU the lead against lower-division FCS team Portland State.
The Horned Frogs poured it on after that.
Boyce's 66-yard play was the first of three TCU touchdowns in a
span of 1:18 just before halftime. Then, on the first offensive
play of the second half, Waymon Jones managed to stay off the
ground after getting hit at the line and went 65 yards for another
score for the Frogs in their 55-13 victory Saturday.
"We felt it was going to take one big play to get us rolling
and it did," quarterback Casey Pachall said. "Once we got the
momentum, they weren't going to get it because we couldn't be
stopped at that point. That was a little screen play, basically get
the ball in his hands and let him do what he can do."
The Horned Frogs (3-1) extended a school record with their 22nd
consecutive win at home since 2007, but were tied 3-3 before
Boyce's catch-and-run score with 1:55 left in the first half.
Portland State (2-1) took only one snap after that before Drew
Hubel's pass was deflected by Jason Verrett and intercepted by
linebacker Tank Carder. The Rose Bowl defensive MVP weaved his way
for a 26-yard touchdown. And the Frogs still weren't finished
before the break.
After the Vikings went three-and-out on their next possession,
Skye Dawson had a 42-yard punt return to the 11. Three plays later,
he caught the first of his two TD passes, a 10-yarder for a 24-3
halftime lead.
"We're very explosive," said Boyce, who knew there was the
chance for a big play when he saw Portland State preparing to blitz
and both safeties coming to the line right before the quick
"We got a little greedy and were going to see if we could get
after the quarterback," Vikings coach Nigel Burton said. "A great
team will make you pay and then we got a blitzkrieg there in a
matter of three, four plays. That's what great teams so, they'll
jump on you. That's what we talked about afterwards, if you want to
be a great team, we have to learn to do that to other people."
James took a handoff to the right to start the second half and
was quickly grabbed by a couple of defenders. They pulled him
toward the ground, but James rolled over on top of a defender and
one of own teammates instead. James then spun away and ran to the
end zone, a touchdown that officials quickly confirmed after
looking at the replay.
"After I handed it off and carried out my fake, I looked back
and I see the little pile, so I think the play is over," Pachall
said. "I start kind of looking over to the sideline for the next
play and that stuff and all of a sudden Waymon just starts running
James, who finished with 136 yards on 10 carries, added an
82-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter – the
second week in a row the Frogs have returned one for a score.
After Zach Brown's second field goal for Portland State, James
fielded the ensuing kickoff at the 18. He took off toward the right
sideline, shot through an open gap and picked up a couple of
blockers. He then hurdled a falling defender near midfield right in
front of the TCU bench and was untouched the rest of the way.
Pachall, who was 14-of-20 for 214 yards with three TDs and an
interception, got a fortunate bounce late in the third quarter when
his pass was deflected by linebacker Shane Melbo and should have
probably been intercepted. Instead, the ball ended up in the hands
of Dawson, the former Mountain West Conference champion sprinter.
Dawson caught the ball near midfield and outran the Vikings
secondary to the end zone for a 73-yard TD.
Portland State came in as the FCS's best rushing team with 348
yards a game but had only 119 yards on 44 carries against TCU.
Vikings senior running back Cory McCaffrey, who had run for 291
yards and seven touchdowns the first two games, didn't play because
of a swollen knee.
Still, the Vikings opened the game with a 14-play, 71-yard drive
that ended with Brown's 22-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead. TCU then
scored 41 consecutive points before Brown's 42-yard field goal with
12:40 left in the game, and Portland State didn't get a touchdown
until Shaquille Richard scored on a 1-yard run with 1:39 left.
"We came out very strong. We ended up kind of hurting ourselves
just kicking a field goal, but it was good to get out early like
that," quarterback Connor Kavanaugh said. "Then the defense came
out and went three and out. It just shows you how strong we are.
Unfortunately, we needed to do that for the full 60 minutes. I
definitely think we came out and shocked them."

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
This research project aims to investigate variations of energetic particle environments and atmospheric conditions in the upper atmosphere, associated with solar activities.1) L F whistler-mode signals were measured in the conjugate area of the transmitter around Birdsville (L=1.55), Australia. The intensity increase of the LF signals appeared with the time delays behind enhanced AE activities, due to the wave growth caused by cyclotron resonance interactions with trapped electrons more than 30 ke V.The frequency of enhanced LF whistler-mode signals shifted, which is caused by the drift of whistler ducts due to the magnetospheric electric fields penetrating into the low-latitude magnetosphere. Otherwise, VLF/ELF emissions generated in the plasmapause-latitude magnetosphere and observed at low- latitude ground- based stations occurred almost simultaneously with enhanced AB activities. So, the penetration of energetic electrons deep into the magnetosphere may be deduced from ground-based
… More
measurements of resonant waves at low latitudes.2) The altitude, temperature, and pressure of the tropopause and the total ozone content over Syowa Station, Antarctica were investigated in association with the solar flare activities. The temporal variations of the above quantities were found to be correlated with the energetic protons and enhanced X ray intensities associated with the bigger solar flares.3) Geomagnetic pulsations of Pi2 (period : 40-150 sec) usually occur during nighttime in association with magnetic storms. By using the Pi2 geomagnetic data based on the 210 MM magnetic observations, the relation between seismic activities and geromagnetic pulsation activities was investigates. The geomagnetic fields during a large earthquake (Ms=7.1) at Guam on 8 August 1993 were enhanced in the induced Z components, due to the electrical conductivity increase around the earthquake source region.Also, step-like changes appear occasionally mainly on the Z fields at Guam, which may be caused by electric fields, related to the precursor activity.

Introducing the Latest Porsche Panamera 4S and What it Offers
When the original Cayenne was released in back in '03 there was screaming in the streets. 911 owners all over the country were infuriated that their brand of choice was being tainted, and that Porsche would stoop so low as to offer an SUV to customers. They didn't think about how insanely profitable the Cayenne would be for Porsche or how much money it would allow the automaker to put toward development of new sicker cars like the latest special edition 911 Turbo S creations, but they certainly expressed their outrage. They did so for years, even after the market began to get used to the high-end SUV, and then the Panamera came out. This abomination of a vehicle was like a stretched out 911 and nobody heard a peep from the Porsche purists. Perhaps it was because the Cayenne already conditioned them to different vehicles, or maybe a stretched car just isn't as bad as an SUV. Either way, the Panamera has been a successful vehicle ever since it's release, and the 2018 Panamera 4S builds on what was good about the first model, while making it much, much better.
Visually Enhanced
The original Panamera has an odd roofline that looked out of place on a Porsche. That's not the case any longer with the 2018 Panamera. It has a sloping roofline that makes it look like a longer 911 and it's actually very attractive to look at.
Crazy Power
No this Panamera isn't pushing 700 HP like the new 911 Turbo is, but the 4S offers 0-60 times in just 4.0 seconds thanks to the powerful twin-turbo 2.9 liter V-6 with a total of 440 HP and 405 lb.-ft. of torque. It's a real powerhouse that manages top torque at less than 2,000 RPM and it keeps providing the power up through 5,500 RPMs giving it very satisfying performance characteristics. When you decide to spend a bit extra to toss the Sports Chrono package on the Panamera 4S you'll enjoy a top speed of 179 MPH and a car that doesn't redline until 6,800 RPM. It's a beat of a machine and there's no doubt that it would be a fun track car as well, even with its longer proportions.
One downside that some people will find with the 2018 Panamera 4S is the lack of a manual clutch. It only comes with a highly capable 8-speed PDK transmission, which is ideal for performance and smooth operation, but not so ideal when you want the feel of a real manual transmission. It does come outfitted with a set of paddle shifters though, giving you some control over the smooth-as-silk transmission that's a real pleasure to drive around.
This car looks beautiful, it handles admirably and it comes equipped with all the features and power that you would expect of a capable Porsche vehicle. That's exactly why it's going to sell well for Porsche and why so many executives and high-end car buyers will want one.
The Most Exclusive Porsche Turbo S
For most of us the Porsche 911 Turbo S sports car is the ultimate exclusive vehicle. It shows off supreme class and does so in a top-end high performance vehicle that's ready to take off on the tracks. It's not the most exclusive Porsche that you can purchase though, and there's actually a golden special edition version of the Turbo S that's more exclusive, more powerful and more capable than the original. That's right, there is a more expensive, nicer looking and more exciting Turbo 911 and it's worth taking a look at even if you can't afford that quarter of a million dollar price tag it comes with.
It's Darned Fast
The special edition Porsche Turbo S packs more power than the standard turbo with a whopping 607 HP allowing it to go from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and to make a trip to 124 MPH in just 9.6 seconds. The car is slightly faster than the already lightning quick Turbo S, with a 0-60 acceleration time that's .3 seconds faster. It can also impressively make the climb all the way to 205 MPH, something that you'll probably only ever achieve while out on a track.
It's a Gold Porsche
The Turbo S Exclusive Series certainly stands out when looking at it from the outside because it appears to be made from solid gold. That's right, Porsche decided to give the sports car a Gold-Yellow metallic paint that stands out no matter where you go. That bright vibrant yellow is accented nicely by carbon fiber additions at the trunk, the roof, the side skirts of the vehicle, as well as the rear wing and tailpipes. Sure you could get the special edition Porsche in a few other color options as well, but we suspect that most people will opt for the exclusive gold look to help it stand out. After all, who doesn't want to look like they're riding around in a solid gold Porsche?
An Interior That Stands Apart
Just like the exterior of this one-off Turbo Porsche, the inside of the sports car stands out as well. It comes with sports seats that are accented with Gold Yellow metallic stripes and black stitching, just like the contrasting colors on the outside. You'll witness true luxury when looking at the carbon fiber headliner that's accented by actual copper stitching that you just don't see anywhere else.
An Executive Price Tag
So what will you be paying for this decidedly unique and exciting sports car that you just aren't going to see anywhere else? A whopping $257,500. That's nearly $70,000 over the standard Turbo S, and that's not even including the added $6000+ luggage set you can get if you want to match your car while traveling around the country showing it off.
Just 500 of these unique Porsche vehicles are to be sold, and our guess is that they'll go faster than you expect.
The 2017 Porsche 911 Targa 4S is a High-Performance Celebration of the Past
The 2017 Porsche 911 Targa 4S is an exciting throwback to the original Targa with the same looks, but a whole lot more tech and performance. It's a modern-day high powered equivalent to the classic car, and it's exhilarating to drive around. We'll get into what makes it so special down below, but to really understand what makes the car special you have to drive it for yourself.
It Has the Original Look
The car looks very similar to the original 911 Targa with the same curvaceous rear glass, the same Targa bar and the same overall body shape. Sure it's not identical, but for a Porsche enthusiast it's the best you'll get other than picking up the original vehicle for nostalgia's sake.
An Advanced Retractable Top
The cloth top on the original Targa couldn't have been simpler. You unhook a few clips and it pops right off. The modern equivalent of that is an overly-complicated electrical-mechanical matchup that takes nearly 20 seconds to fold down the top under the glass. The plus side of that is that during that time you don't have to do anything. You press the button and the top folds up and out of the way until you need it again. It's convenient, you just have to be patient.
A Whole Lot of Power
The modern Targa 4S comes with a massive amount of power. You'll have 420 HP and 368 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal thanks to the 3.0 liter twin-turbo flat six under the hood. It's water cooled and mechanically impressive and the car really hauls down the road because of it. There's no better feeling than stomping on the pedal and being thrown back against the seat as you literally launch.
Smooth Shifting
The Targa 4S comes standard with a silky 7-speed manual transmission that's fun to operate, but if you're not the shifting type, or you want the absolute peak performance, you can upgrade to the seven-speed dual clutch automatic PDK transmission. It gets the job done faster and more smoothly, and you don't have a clutch pedal to worry about. Either way power distribution is excellent and you'll climb through the gears without any notable jerks or uneven performance.
Massive Performance Power
Thanks to that oversized engine that I mentioned earlier the 2017 Targa 4S is a serious monster on the track. 0 to 60 happens in just 3.3 seconds, a quarter mile is over in 11.7 seconds and the car stops on a dime with 0 to 60 occurring in just 97 feet. Sure it won't win any fuel efficiency awards with a 24 MPG combined rating, but it saves fuel better than many other sports cars that you'll encounter.
If there's something about the handling of the Porsche that you don't like, you might be able to modify it to your liking as well. You can change around the drive mode between Sport, Sport + and a small collection of other drive modes to change the steering stiffness, the throttle response and shifting aggression to get you a dynamic that feels right for your situation.
The 911 Targa 4S is a real joy to drive, but it doesn't come cheap with a base price of just over $123,000. It's not uncommon for the price tag to climb above $150,000 with options added on, so you have to be comfortable spending heavily to enjoy this car.
The Three Pedal Dance Returns To The Porsche 911 GT3
The recent Geneva Motor Show brought welcome news the Porsche faithful and enthusiasts, the "Drivers 911″ the 911 GT3 would once again be offered with a manual transmission!
In an ever increasing world of automation and complication, there comes a time and reason to unplug from it all and get back to basics, or at least as basic can get in this current day and age. When the 991 GT3 debuted it was hailed as the next great step, save for one thing, the lack of a manual transmission. The Porsche PDK is a superb transmission, and if the goal is to get around the race track in the quickest time, then there is no better tool to row through the gears. In the daily commute, stuck in traffic, the PDK also shines saving your left leg in stop and go traffic.
However, there are times when you want to row your own, to truly feel connected to the car and the driving experience, and for that, the best tool for the job is a manual transmission! If you wanted something close to the GT3 with a manual, you had to be lucky enough to get the 911R, but those were only offered to those who purchased the 918 Spyder, or, if you found one second hand, they started at $500,000 and went up quickly from there.
Porsche heard loud and clear that the faithful still wanted a manual gearbox and now they have responded. With the 991.2GT3 a six-speed manual returns attached to a 4.0 liter naturally-asperated flat six developing 500 horsepower and 339 lb/ft of torque. It wasn't that long ago that 997 Turbo topped out at 450 horsepower, and now, the GT3 brings 500 naturally-asperated horsepower to the dance to sing that glorious song as it approaches it's near 9,000 rpm redline.
Deliveries of the 991.2GT3 will begin in September, if you'd like to reserve one today, please contact us as these will be very hard to get.
Please have a look at this video as Andreas Preuninger, Porsche GT Project Director, guides DRIVETRIBE's Features Editor Henry Catchpole around the latest Porsche 911 GT3.
Porsche South Bay Classic Partner Open House
It was a long hard road to get here, but it was worth it.
Not only does Porsche South Bay have a spectacular new home, we are now one of only four Porsche Classic Partner locations in the United States! To celebrate we held an open house, and over 700 people were in attendance for our 60's themed party! We had an amazing display of classic Porsche's including a few VERY special ones.
We had Jerry Seinfeld's 901 Porsche on display, Mike Sullivan's 918 Spyder and enough other classic Porsche's to be the envy of any Cars & Coffee. Factory Porsche race driver Patrick Long was also in attendance with his personal 964.
We had great food and drinks, along with a DJ, and we gave away a bunch of prizes, including four vouchers for the Porsche Experience Center!
We've assembled some great shots of the event, click the link to see them all!

The 2017 Porsche Boxster, Smaller Engine Bigger Power
Porsche recently released the latest Boxster, and it's a beast of a machine that makes the most of a four-cylinder engine. Even though it relies on a smaller power plant, it's actually faster than ever before and a really exciting sports car to test out. It's common to pay more than $70,000 for the Boxster, pitting it firmly above the Cayman, but lower than most 911 models, but this sports car model is a good solid performance that's exciting to anyone that cares about high-speed driving and good handling mechanics. I'm just going to go over the most notable changes with the latest model of the vehicle, most readers are likely familiar with previous Boxster models.
More Power with the Same Efficiency
The new Boxster comes fitted with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 350 HP instead of the 325 offered by the flat 6. It also puts out a very nice 309 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you plenty of grab. Not only that, but the engine makes all this power available earlier on than before. Max power is available at 6500 rpm instead of 6700 and top torque is available as soon as 1900 rpm. All this added power doesn't increase fuel requirements at all, and city driving efficiency remains the same for the Boxster, while highway driving economy increases by 1 point.
Even though the engine is far superior on paper, it's hard not to miss the purr of the flat six, and the characteristic rumble of the engine. It still sounds pretty darned good, but it's quite a bit different than the flat-6, which is going to upset some purists with a history of owning Porsche cars.
High Speed Launch
The improved power of the Boxster allows it to achieve some very impressive acceleration speeds. With the PDK clutch setup 0 to 60 is accomplished in just 4.3 seconds, the same time that the 911 achieves. With the manual clutch acceleration times drop down to 5.3 seconds at best. Going from 0 to 100 takes just 8.5 seconds with the automatic transmission. This car is very fast and is a whole lot of fun to drive when you don't have to worry about speeding.
Deciding Between the PDK and Manual
The manual transmission in the Boxster is also of fun to use, and really adds to the driving experience, but there is a lot of benefit that comes from relying on the PDK as well. The PDK is just plain faster and will get you up to speed in less time. It's also more fuel efficient. When in use the Boxster gets 21 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway, which is pretty good compared to a 20 city and 26 highway offered by the manual.

Pacific Porsche Becomes the Official Partner for the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA Series
Pacific Porsche has long been a support of Porsche racing in the California area, now it has the great pleasure of being the official partner for the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA Series. That means that cup drivers will gain access to special service and supply perks from the company, as well as access to personal vehicles, since many of them drive Porsche cars as their street vehicles as well. The partnership is in place for the race season throughout 2016, and could continue further on in the future as well.
Mike Sullivan Enters the Race
Mike Sullivan, the owner of LAcarGUY, has a long history with racing. He's participated in Vintage Racing for years and the Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach, and now plans on taking himself to the tracks to actually compete against other fellow racers in the high performance Pirelli GT3 Cup events. It's an exciting opportunity that will allow Pacific Porsche to offer even better customer service in the future, by giving many of its lead members a taste of fast-paced professional Porsche racing.
Pacific Porsche
Pacific Porsche is one of just 25 Porsche dealerships around the United States, and only one of two in the Los Angeles Area. It's been in business since 1999, and is a highly reliable organization as proven through years of operation. LAcarGUY and Pacific Porsche in general is heavily involved in the local community and offers help to charity and important local events throughout the year.
The Partnership
With the partnership developed both Pacific Porsche and Competent Motorsport (the organizers of the Pirelli GT3 Cup) have something to gain. Pacific Porsche gets increased exposure and more experience with racing and taking care of racers. This can only help improve customer service and experience levels over time. Competent Motorsport gets a reliable supplier to help with important parts and exclusive inventory that isn't easy to come by.
The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA is on its 10th year of operation in 2016, and has seven different racing events scheduled for the 2016 season. It's an exciting opportunity for everyone involved, and the partnership is one that could carry on for many more years in the future as well.

Jerome Jordan to play in SloveniaPosted by Inside Hoops
Jul 27
So far, just under one month into the NBA lockout, the only big star to sign overseas has been Deron Williams — and he'll return to the New Jersey Nets when the lockout ends.
Other than that, the handful of players that have headed overseas were on the NBA fringe anyway.
And now, another bench guy will cross the ocean.
Marc Berman of the New York Post (blog) reports:
Ailing Amar'e Stoudemire can tease about playing in Europe. Knicks rookie Jerome Jordan is simply going to do it without the posturing.
The center agreed in principle Tuesday to play in Slovenia for the Krka club with an "out clause,'' his agent Todd Ramasar told The Post.
Ramasar said final terms should be worked out Wednesday.
The out clause will allow 7-foot Jordan the option to leave Slovenia when the NBA lockout ends to join the Knicks, who are desperate for size and have the Tulsa product penciled in on the roster.
The Knicks acquired Jordan's rights for $1 million after the Bucks took him with the 45th pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Jordan played in Serbia last season.
"This will give him an opportunity to train, give him an opportunity to play and be in game shape when the lockout is over,'' Ramasar told The Post. "He wants to prepare himself as much as possible. He doesn't want to sit on the bench his rookie year.''
Jordan should have a future in the NBA as a backup center, when he returns.

The Theme
The theme for our TEDx event is 'Creative Minds'. We will explore the abilities and limits of human creation and innovation. Humans can create inspiring things, such as art, technology and social movements but we are also responsible for creating waste, deadly weapons and war. We will explore the inner workings of our minds and personalities to judge whether we truly are a creative species and how we can each use our abilities to better our world as a whole.
ABOUT TEDx
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Focus verses: Luke 7:24-35
In our readings a few days ago, Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah about Himself. That should have been the first clue for the people that He was the prophesied Messiah.
Here again, he refers to the Old Testament prophets, when he said John is the one about whom it is written:
"See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 3:1)
Jesus is speaking plainly about His own identity. One of Jesus' most powerful assets is that even in human form He knew who He was. He was identified as part of the God-head. While He limited Himself to time and space like any man, He was still a part of God.
How do you identify yourself? Can you tell who you are without referring to your parents, spouse, or children? Do you label yourself by your occupation or co-workers? How do you define yourself in your own mind?
These are important questions. Most of the time we identify ourselves by our relationships to other people and our occupations.
In order to draw closer to God, we need to be identifying ourselves with relationship to Him. If you have ever heard the still, quiet, powerful voice of God, what name did He call you by?
Just exactly who are you in that context?
Father, God,
Thank You for loving us enough to send Your Son, Jesus, to be the propitiation for all our sins. Forgive us our many transgressions, and teach us how to be your obedient, compliant children.

Primary Years Programme (PYP)
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides a comprehensive, inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum framework focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic welfare.
At the center of the PYP curriculum are five essential elements: knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action. These five elements are used as the basis for all planning and teaching. The school's program acknowledges the importance of subject areas such as: language; mathematics; social studies; the arts; science and technology; and personal, social and physical education. In order to help students, make meaningful connections, these subjects are integrated wherever possible into units of inquiry. By providing students with this approach, the program aims to further the acquisition of knowledge and skills in the context of an ongoing search for meaning and understanding. Students from K3 to Grade 5 are engaged in six inquiry units a year that are centered around themes of global importance: Who We Are; How We Organize Ourselves; Where We Are in Place and Time; How the World Works; How We Express Ourselves; and Sharing the Planet. In K1 and K2 (3 to 5 years), four inquiry units are explored each year from the above themes.
Towards the end of the PYP, students are involved in a culminating experience, the PYP Exhibition, in which Grade 5 students plan and present a collaborative project to the school community to demonstrate what they have learned during their years in the PYP.
Alongside the mainstream academic areas, the school offers a broad range of subjects to challenge and stimulate students' interests. Single subject teachers work with classroom teachers to ensure quality instruction in a range of subject areas. As a school, we believe that this integrated approach to learning provides students with the opportunity to acquire skills in context, and to explore content that is relevant to children and transcends the boundaries of individual subjects.
For more information about the PYP, please contact the PYP Coordinator.

Dr. Dre to produce horror film
Dr. Dre is to produce a new horror film.
The music mogul is heading up 'Thaw' with his Crucial Films partner Daniel Schnider.
'Thaw' - which will be written by Vik Weet - centres around an ancient evil that emerges from the rapidly-melting ice in the Yukon.
Dr launched Crucial Films in 2007 with a first-look deal at New Line to produce a series of dark comedies and horror films and 'Thaw' will be the first under the deal.
The movie is the latest venture for Dre as it has been claimed that HTC - the company which has a majority stake in his Beats By Dr. Dre headphones range - is in talks to acquire online music service MOG.
He is also still working on 'Detox' album project, with Rick Ross recently revealing he has joined fellow collaborators Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Nas on the record.
Rick said: ''We making some things happen, man -- we just gonna see where the pieces fall. But we most definitely putting in major work.''

What would you do to save someone you love?
In FIRE & FLOOD, Tella Holloway faced a dangerous trek through the jungle and across the desert, all to remain a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed for a chance at obtaining the Cure for her brother. She can't quit--she has to win the race, save Cody, and then fight to make sure the race stops before it can claim any more lives. In the next legs of the race, across the ocean and over mountains, Tella will face frostbite, sharks, avalanche, and twisted new rules in the race.
But what if the danger is deeper than that? How do you know who to trust when everyone's keeping secrets? What do you do when the person you'd relied on most suddenly isn't there for support? How do you weigh one life against another?
The race is coming to an end, and Tella is running out of time, resources, and strength. At the start of the race there were one hundred twenty-two Contenders. As Tella and her remaining friends start the final part of the race, just forty-one are left--and only one can win.
Ooh, I am SOOO excited for SALT & STONE, you just don't know!!! I LOVED FIRE & FLOOD so much, and can't WAIT to get back into this world of awesomeness.!

Good nutrition and learning go hand-in-hand
Research shows children who are nutritionally fit are more likely to have the energy, stamina and self-esteem that enhance their ability to learn.
Parents can help ensure that children are well-nourished and ready-to-learn by considering a few basic nutritional steps, according to Dr. Pam Duitsman, nutrition and health education specialist, University of Missouri Extension.
The most important step is to start the day with a healthy breakfast according Duitsman.
"For children and teens, a morning meal is especially important," said Duitsman. "Studies have shown those who eat a morning meal tend to perform better in school, score higher on tests, have higher school attendance, less tardiness, better concentration and muscle coordination and are less likely to be overweight."
One way to get a child to eat before going to school is to make breakfast fun. Keep quick-to-fix foods on hand or get breakfast foods ready the night before, such as mixing a pitcher of juice.
"If kids say they are not hungry, start them out with something light like juice or toast and send them off with a nutritious mid-morning snack," said Duitsman.
Meals served at school contribute significantly to kids overall nutrient and energy needs.
School meals are usually regulated through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are designed to supply about one-third of a child's nutrition needs.
"Parents can play a role in helping a child choose healthy meals," said Duitsman. "Keep the school lunch menu in your kitchen, go over it with your child, and talk with your child about making choices in the cafeteria line."
If a child prefers to take lunch to school, let the child help plan and prepare it.
"When children are involved, chances are they will resist trading their carrots for cookies," said Duitsman.
Pack meals that are easy to prepare and fun to eat as well as nutritious. A few examples are sandwiches, raw veggies, crackers, string cheese, whole fruit and yogurt or pudding.
For after-school snacks, choose foods that supply needed nutrients. Stock up with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables, animal crackers, popcorn and cereal. Children will appreciate the availability of quick healthy snacks.
"Proper nutrition is crucial for social, emotional and psychological development," said Duitsman. "Teaching children how to eat healthy will enable them to establish a foundation of good nutrition and healthful lifestyle habits that will benefit them for the rest of their lives."
The goal of University of Missouri Extension's Family Nutrition Education Program is to assist Missourians with limited resources in achieving lifelong health and fitness. In southwest Missouri, programs for youth and adults provide nutrition, food safety and tasting opportunities that allow participants to learn about healthy food choices and regular physical activity.
Partnering with other agencies -- like schools, after-school programs, summer youth programs, WIC, Head Start, Health Departments, Food Stamp offices and a variety of social service agencies providing services to limited--income families -- is a key to FNEP's success.
For more information, contact FNEP coordinator Pam Duitsman at 417-886-2059.

Once again Ian Hudspith looks set to fly the flag for the region in Sunday's Bupa Great North Run spectacular.
Just days before he reaches his 44th birthday, Hudspith will take to the roads from Newcastle to South Shields again together with 40,000 others in the biggest half-marathon in the world.
Long before he ran in the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester the Morpeth Harrier was pounding out the miles on the roads which saw him produce his fastest-ever half-marathon time of 62min 53secs in the Netherlands in 1996.
Since then he has been the region's GNR mainstay with only fellow Morpeth Harriers' Nick McCormick and Nick Swinburn managing to get the better of him.
Hudspith has an enviable record in the region's premier event and since his debut in 2005 only once has he finished outside the top 20.
To keep that run going he knows he has a tough task, for he is only now getting back to full fitness after a spell out due to injury.
After the Blaydon Race in June – another race he always seems to do well in – Hudspith was laid low and though he continued to run he couldn't do any serious sessions.
However, he is raring to go on Sunday, especially after tasting victory in his comeback race in Gateshead a couple of weeks ago.
After a relatively easy training session earlier this week, Hudspith said: "I'm really looking forward to Sunday. It's a great event for the North East and I've enjoyed it most of the times I've ran it.
"After the Blaydon Race I had doubts to whether I would be in decent enough shape to run this weekend for one of my hamstrings tightened up and for weeks I couldn't do any hard sessions at all.
"It was a case of just being patient for when you get older any injuries you pick up tend to take much longer to mend.
"I've been running long enough now to know what you can and can't do and that you can't rush back so I just took it steady, taking it day by day, and I'm feeling fine now so really keen to see how I get on.
"I know I'm a bit short of competition but it was nice to get out and stretch my legs in the Gateshead race, though 5k was probably a bit short in the build-up to a half-marathon.
"Naturally, I was pleased to win even though I felt a bit rusty."
Hudspith's consistency is remarkable and he is to be admired for his application as an athlete which spans over 35 years from the day when he first joined Morpeth Harriers.
Even now he shows no signs of slowing down as he added: "I'm doing the same mileage now as I did a couple of decades ago and I still get a buzz every time I put my trainers on.
"Over the past few weeks my build-up to the GNR has included long runs totalling around 110 miles. If I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't do it."
So what is the Newcastle schoolteacher hoping for on Sunday as the race bursts with international talent? "Because my training has been going well in recent weeks and I've kept healthy, I'll be looking to run somewhere near to my time of last year," he said.
"My fastest time in the GNR was in 2007 when I finished 10th in 63min 59secs. While I would love to be able to produce a time like that again you have to be realistic, so somewhere around the 65-minute mark would be fine.
"If that doesn't happen then I'll not be too disappointed but then again it would be good to keep the record going of being the first athlete home from the North East!''
