The RTC Interview Series: One on One With Charles BarkleyPosted by rtmsf on March 15th, 2012
Rush The Court is back with another edition of One on One: An Interview Series, which we will bring you periodically throughout the year. If you have any specific interview requests or want us to interview you, shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hall of Fame power forward Charles Barkley has become without question one of the most entertaining analysts on sports television. TNT's Inside the NBA has been must-watch television for over a decade now in large part because of his wit and wisdom, and Barkley's recent foray into college basketball analysis with Turner Sports has helped pick up what had been a somewhat stuffy studio environment. For the past month, Rush the Court has been providing a weekly column called What Would Charles Say? on Barkley's website, and he was gracious enough to allow us to spend some time with him this week for a short Q&A.
Rush the Court: Charles, the big news early this week was the news that Fab Melo was ruled ineligible for the NCAA Tournament. I was hoping to get your take on how you feel that impacts the chances for Syracuse and Jim Boeheim to get to the Final Four and win a national championship this year?
Charles Barkley: Well, I think that they probably can't win the championship, but they're still deep enough to go deep into the Tournament. But I don't think they can win it without him… but they're still the deepest team in the Tournament, honestly, top to bottom.
RTC: So the news has come out that this relates to an academic issue for Melo, and with all the academic services that schools give these guys nowadays, how does that happen? How do you drop the ball so badly that you're not even eligible for the Tournament?
CB: Well, to me it's very frustrating, because if you get this deep in the season, you should already have all that stuff squared away. I mean… c'mon man. You're really letting your team down at this point.
RTC: Certainly. Well let me ask you about last year, there was a little bit of criticism with you, Kenny [Smith], and Ernie [Johnson], as knowledgeable as you guys are about NBA stuff, coming in to the college basketball world and giving your takes with maybe not having watched games the whole season. But that ended very quickly with your take on the Big East — how it wasn't as good as everybody thought — with nine out of the 11 teams gone by the end of the first weekend. Do you have any early takes this year on maybe a conference or teams that you're just not buying?

Entomologists say root protection from single traits that are working well will not increase when an insecticide is added on top of the trait.
Should you use a soil insecticide at planting this season to protect your corn against corn rootworm pressure?
It depends, according to university entomologists.
"We have shown in our field trials that an insecticide on top of a single trait only improves relative root protection if the single trait is starting to fail in the field," notes Lance Meinke, University of Nebraska-Lincoln entomologist. "In this case, root protection improves but selection for resistance to the trait continues, so this is not a good long-term solution to the problem.
"Root protection from single traits that work well will not increase when insecticide is added on top of the trait," he says. "Also, we have not seen an increase in root protection when an insecticide is added on top of a pyramid containing Cry34/35Ab1. So in most cases, we do not recommend using a soil insecticide on top of a pyramid that contains Cry34/35Ab1."
If you plant a pyramided corn hybrid with multiple Bt events to protect your crop from rootworm larvae, the chance of an economic return-on-investment is unlikely when using a soil applied insecticide, adds Mike Gray, University of Illinois Extension entomologist.
However, another consideration is how much damage is your corn crop likely to experience this season from other pests such as grubs, wireworms and seed corn maggots, asks Mike Hancock, corn segment manager for FMC Corporation, which manufactures Capture LFR.
"There are a variety of pests waiting to attack that seed as soon as you close the furrow that an insecticide put down at planting can protect your crop against," he says. "An in-furrow treatment can help you increase your stand count and protect yield potential through the life of the crop."
As for rootworm management, the issue continues to be a major concern for farmers across much of the Midwest. Earlier this year, a webinar "Corn Rootworm Management in the Transgenic Era" was presented by five land grant entomologists. During the program, the entomologists detail rootworm management challenges and recommendations for 2014. The webinar was supported by a USDA-NIFA North Central IPM Program grant. The recording can be watched at the North Central IPM Center homepage at this link: https://www.ncipmc.org/videos/index.cfm

8731.0 - Building Approvals, Australia, November 2011 Quality Declaration
Previous ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 10/01/2012
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
Dwelling approvals rise in November (seasonally adjusted)
ABS Building Approvals show that the number of dwellings approved rose 8.4% in November 2011, in seasonally adjusted terms, following a fall of 10.0% in October.
Dwelling approvals increased for the month of November in Victoria (39.9%), Queensland (6.6%) and New South Wales (2.0%) but fell in Western Australia (-16.9%), Tasmania (-7.9%) and South Australia (-1.9%) in seasonally adjusted terms.
In seasonally adjusted terms, approvals for private sector houses rose 4.8% in November with rises in Victoria (13.0%), Queensland (10.8%), South Australia (2.3%) and New South Wales (0.3%), while Western Australia fell (4.9%).
The value of total building approved decreased 2.6% in November in seasonally adjusted terms, following a decrease of 2.0% in October. The value of residential building fell 2.7% while non-residential building fell 2.5%.
Widespread flooding, and other natural disasters, in the eastern states during late 2010 and early 2011 have not adversely affected participation by providers in the Building Approvals collection or the quality of estimates in this release. However, these events may have had an impact on the number of approved dwellings and the value of approved work.
Further information is available in Building Approvals, Australia (cat no. 8731.0) on the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au

The last of four Zajac boys playing for DU, after two played for North Dakota
Excited about hockey season, and excited about our DU story pegged for Thursday's paper.
Freshman defenseman Nolan Zajac is the son of former Pioneer Tom Zajac (1973-76), but two of Nolan's older brothers, Travis and Darcy, played at rival North Dakota, and a third brother, Kelly, concluded a four-year career at Union College last spring. Of course, Travis Zajac is a top-six forward for the New Jersey Devils.
I have so much good stuff, but not all of it will fit in the paper, so here's some leftovers:
The Zajacs are from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and certainly all four boys had great opportunities to play in the Canadian Hockey League (major-junior). But Tom is thrilled to see all of them go to college.
"Hockey is a tough game to make it in. I think the boys, or girls, have to have something to fall back on," he said. "I think the atmosphere of going to school and playing hockey for their school is something I wanted them to enjoy, just like I enjoyed."
Tom said he didn't encourage Nolan to choose DU. Rather, it was a coincidence.
"I left it up to Nolan, where he thought he fits in the best. I know when he went to visit DU he came back and said, 'I don't need to look at anyone else.'" North Dakota recruited Nolan, his father said, but his son never took an official visit to Grand Forks. "All of us just told him to make sure you go to a place you fit in and and a place you're going to play."
Nolan realizes he might catch some grief when DU visits UND for a series Dec. 7-8.
"Great place to play, good team, and it's close to home, so I'll have a lot of friends and family," he said.

Platinum-selling duo Karmin (Amy Heidemann '08 and Nick Noonan '08) released its full-length debut album Pulses with Epic Records on March 25. The lead single, "I Want It All," was produced by Ryan "Rykeyz" Williams and released earlier this year and followed by the duo's first headlining tour in February. With support from fellow alumni Bryce Vine '10 and DJ Dave "Skizz" Sack'12, Karmin played to a sold-out crowd at Boston's Paradise club.
Both Karmin and Vine are managed by the Complex Management Group, a music management company founded by Nils Gums '06, Matt Maltese '04,and Eric Zimmerman. Their success with Karmin is an exciting example of alumni collaboration in Los Angeles, but it's just part of a larger story about a broad network of alumni behind the scenes. "It feels like a family tree that we've developed around Berklee talent," Maltese says.
Here's a look at alumni found among the branches of the "complex" family tree. Vine, who grew up in Los Angeles, returned to L.A. following his studies at Berklee to audition for the Fox hit TV show Glee. His debut EP, Lazy Fair, released in April, was produced by Nolan Lambroza '11, and cowritten by Vine and Lambroza, with mixes created by Serge Courtois '11 and Andrew Maltese '08. These connections began at Berklee, where Vine, Lambroza, and Sack were members of the Crush Club band. Vine's song "Where the Wild Things Are" was chosen as the theme song for the 2014 X Games and his recent music video for Sour Patch Kids premiered on VEVO.
Songwriter/record producer Nolan Lambroza, better known as Sir Nolan, joined the Messengers, a Grammy Award-winning team currently based in Los Angeles, in 2011. Apart from producing Karmin's song "Try Me On," Nolan's credits with the Messengers also include recordings by Justin Bieber, Pitbull, the Wanted, Cody Simpson, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown.
Karmin's Pulses includes "Try Me On," as well as the first single "I Want It All," which was engineered by Maltese. In fact Maltese engineered about half the album at his Speakeasy Sound Recording Studios in Burbank. Another client of the Complex Management is the Elev3n, an all-Berklee, New York-based production team made up of James Morales '06, Matt Morales '08, and Dave Rodriguez. They produced three songs on the Pulses album.
The release of Pulses follows the success of Karmin's 2012 hit EP Hello. That EP featured two huge hits for Karmin, "Brokenhearted" (Recording Industry Association of America-certified double platinum), cowritten by Claude Kelly '02 and "Acapella" (RIAA-certified gold). Kelly also cowrote the songs "Night Like This" and "Geronimo" for the new album. Complex Management continues to expand and just moved into new offices in Burbank. It is developing several new artists, and all are Berklee alumni. Gums currently serves on Berklee's board of trustees. Both he and Maltese have created several jobs and internship opportunities for the Berklee community in Los Angeles. So many of their undergraduate friendships have evolved into a tight professional network that feels like a family tree—and one that is definitely thriving.

In the mid-1970s, the Soviets conceived of the Buran program as their answer to NASA and the U.S. Space Shuttle program. Though the ambitious project faltered after only one unmanned flight, many of its remnants still stand spectacularly today.
The construction of the Soviet shuttles proceeded throughout the 1980s, culminating in an unmanned launch of the Buran shuttle in 1988. Many subsequent flights were cancelled due to a lack of funding, but the Buran program equipment remained, taking far longer to deteriorate than the political entity which produced it.
Seeing these hulking machines in a state of utter disrepair makes one consider how technological progress is often at the mercy of politics and even nature itself. It also makes one consider what an incredible paintball park this place would make. [The Mystery World via Charlie Sorrel]

Cyclone Ita: Part 1
A blog series about our Lizard Island Research Station's recovery from the cyclone that hit it on Friday 11 April, 2014.
**Update from Cairns, 5pm on 13 April: Initial reports received from a helicopter flight over Lizard Island indicate that the Australian Museum's Lizard Island Research Station survived Cyclone Ita's onslaught. The only damage visible from the aerial photographs is to the shade cloth over the aquarium which has been ripped off as expected. All boats and other equipment appear to be in place. The condition of the airstrip remains unknown at this time.**
Sunday 13 April, Cairns.
Cyclone Ita hit Lizard Island directly at about 6.30 pm on Friday 11 April. Bureau of Meteorology models predicted it was at the most severe category 5 as it approached the island and started to lose power as it departed. It crossed the coast at 10 pm at Cape Flattery, about 20 nautical miles from Lizard Island, at category 4.
The Australian Institute of Marine Science maintains a set of monitoring buoys and poles at Lizard Island that transmitted data until 8.50 pm before failing. They clearly show the eye of the cyclone passing – dead calm for between 10 and 30 minutes and a rapid shift of wind direction. Before the eye passed, maximum wind speed recorded was 135 km/h from the ESE and afterwards it was 158 km/h from the NNE, swinging rapidly through north to NNW when the system ceased transmitting. These wind speeds are substantially lower than the BOM predictions.
By Tuesday 8 April it was clear that a severe cyclone was on its way and we began to make plans. There were 27 people at LIRS that day with 16 more due to arrive in the next few days. We immediately put off the people who were planning to arrive and made arrangements for the researchers to leave – the Lizard Island Resort provided wonderful assistance with that. People started to pack up their research gear and personal things.
Wednesday was a full-on day of packing up and departures. Planes were leaving all day, evacuating the resort and LIRS researchers. We are very grateful for the calm way that everyone reacted and for the enormous amount of help that they gave us. Their research programs have suffered badly.
The only people left at LIRS on Wednesday night were LIRS staff (me, Lyle, Bruce and Cassy) and our son Alex. We had arranged a charter flight for midday on Thursday so we had more time to prepare the station for the impact. Also still on the island were several resort staff and the crew of a yacht that was unable to out run the cyclone. Those people departed on a flight early on Thursday morning.
The charter company requested that we leave an hour earlier than planned because the forecast was deteriorating rapidly. It was a surreal departure in normal weather (sunny and windy) with knowledge of a fierce cyclone on its way and no one but us on the island.
Since then, we've been sitting in Cairns checking the weather way too frequently. It feels like a week but it's only day 3. The cyclone was a non-event in Cairns last night when it passed just to the west at category 1. Today is the first day it is possible to get out to Lizard but that can only be by helicopter as the state of the airstrip is unknown.
Thanks for everyone's concern and we hope to be able to update you again soon.

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Fort Smith Arkansas. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Fort Smith, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Fort Smith area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Chiropractic Treatment Techniques
Thousands and thousands of people annually seek medical care for back pain. For some, the pain is gone within 6 weeks. For others, it becomes chronic back pain.
Chronic back pain affects individuals in various ways. Most make repeated visits to physicians, seeking relief. They want to know what causes their chronic back pain. They want new tests. They want to try whatever treatment may be available.
Chronic back pain sufferers may report difficulty in performing normal daily activities. They may believe the pain is increasing. They may simply want someone to sympathize, and agree that it is not "all in your head" at all.
Although back pain is the main reason people visit orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, and the second main reason they visit primary care physicians, an estimated 5 to 10 percent of those visitors will receive no cure. They will go from low back pain to chronic back pain.
Patients are frustrated because physicians do not cure back pain. Physicians are frustrated because they cannot cure low back pain. Many think they can do little to prevent occasional severe back pain from becoming chronic back pain.
If nothing is done, however, chronic back pain limitations can seriously impinge on daily activity.
Clinically Proven Limitations
For the patient, it is difficult to believe that chronic back pain limitations are often unnecessary. They continue to believe that the pain has a cause that can be readily diagnosed, despite their physician's repeated assurances to the contrary. They believe the physician can find a medical sure for their back pain if pressed often enough and hard enough. As for treatment, patients often believe that until the cure is found, the best treatment is bed rest and limited activity.
The result of such beliefs is that back pain that could initially be resolved with exercise becomes chronic back pain. Chronic back pain that might still be resolved if the patient were to exercise regularly gradually develops and produces chronic back pain limitations.
TIP: Back pain is very, very common in our society. Rather than let it lead to complications and limitations, you may want to ask your physician for gentle exercises that may resolve your back pain before it becomes chronic.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Fort Smith Arkansas chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Middle Back Pain On Right Side - What To Do?
A combination of chest and back pain should be taken seriously, for it may be life-threatening. Chest pain in particular can signify any number of emergency threats to your health, including but not limited to heart attack, pneumonia, angina, pulmonary embolism, or even cancer. Get to a doctor or go to the hospital as soon as you can.
Pay close attention to your chest pain and back pain symptoms. Make notes on the details of your condition, if you can. This may help with diagnosing your condition for the most effective treatment, especially if this is your first experience with these symptoms.
The main determination to make is whether the pain you are experiencing is the short-term result of a strain or injury, or indicative of a long-term, or chronic, condition.
Temporary Pain
A key point to bear in mind is that any severe muscle strain can impact muscle groups next to it. Upper back muscles and many chest muscles work together for the purpose of breathing. Muscular injury usually heals itself within a few weeks.
Drugs may provide short-term relief of inflammation and other symptoms. Rest may ease the suffering. Cold or hot compresses on the pain site may soothe the pain as well.
Various forms of massage may bring some relief, and some have found that chiropractic care helps them. Both massage and chiropractic place an emphasis on spinal alignment and muscle tissue stretching.
When this type of pain is due to heart disease or a similar condition, changes in lifestyle may be necessary in order to achieve long-term pain relief. Such changes could include exercise and diet. Again, the main thing to remember regarding back and chest pain together is to get yourself checked out by qualified medical help immediately.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Fort Smith to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Fort Smith Arkansas. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Fort Smith Arkansas.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have received press in the past for their association with dangerous side effects among older adults compared to younger people. Many older people take NSAIDs to get relief from pain, stiffness, and inflammation. However, these medications can have side effects. If you are taking NSAIDs, check the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) website medication guide for more information.
Gastrointestinal Problems
Gastrointestinal problems, including stomach pain, ulcers, and bleeding of the stomach lining, are potential side effects among people who take NSAIDs on a regular basis. Often, the first indication of gastrointestinal damage in seniors is bleeding. There can also be warning symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or dyspepsia (indigestion and gas).
NSAIDs may create or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a disorder that results in food and stomach acid backing up into the esophagus from the stomach. Symptoms and complications may include:
- Acid reflux—regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus, causing heartburn or a sour taste in the mouth
- Esophageal stricture—narrowing of the esophagus, which makes swallowing difficult or painful
- Barrett esophagus—a condition marked by a change in the lining in the esophagus due to long-term acid reflux
The American College of Gastroenterology lists the following as key issues that may put a person taking NSAIDs at risk for GI problems:
- Increased age
- History of ulcers
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Use of anticoagulants and corticosteroids
If any of the following warning signs appear, contact your physician right away:
- Black, tarry stools
- Vomiting of blood—may be red (fresh blood) or black (resembling coffee grounds)
- Severe heartburn or stomach cramps
- Stomach pain that disappears after eating or taking antacids
- Unexplainable nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Other Problems
Several studies found that problems with NSAIDs are not just stomach-related. Regular use of NSAIDs may lead to:
- An increased risk of kidney failure.
- Lightheadedness, drowsiness, confusion, ringing of the ears, and anxiety
- Bruising, since NSAIDs interfere with blood clotting
- Allergic reactions, such as rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, wheezing, fainting, hives or rash, and puffiness around the eyes
- Cardiovascular conditions, such as atherosclerosis and blood clots, which can lead to complications such as a heart attack or stroke
- Toxic hepatitis— an inflammation of the liver which can lead to liver damage
Why Seniors Are at Increased Risk
People at older ages usually need more medications. Unfortunately, NSAIDs can interfere with common medications that they take, such as blood thinners, blood pressure medication, and and diuretics.
Drug doses for seniors are typically lower than those recommended for younger people due to these changes in the body as people age:
- The liver is the body's central processing plant for drugs. As we age, the liver decreases in size, which means blood flow declines and processing slows.
- The amount of body fat increases while the amount of lean body mass and total body water decrease. These changes result in a higher concentration of drugs in the body fluids and hinder drug elimination.
- The kidneys help eliminate drugs from the body, but their work is slowed by declining kidney function. If you have kidney problems, use of NSAIDs should be avoided or monitored closely by your doctor.
How to Protect Yourself
- Take NSAIDs with food to help prevent gastrointestinal upset.
- Keep a list of medications handy when you need to share drug information with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Talk with your doctor about alternative pain relievers, including acetaminophen or herbal medications. All drugs have the potential for interaction and side effects.

This year, we have been sharing the voices of our students by spotlighting transformative stories and projects. We've specifically lifted out those students whose contextual work has become deeply engaged with the world God loves! As we wrap up the academic year and move into the summer, we'd like to offer a round-up of these students' valuable learning and contributions. Enjoy!
Tom WestcottPub Theology Project at St. Mark's Lutheran ChurchChris writes: "Tom knew he had an intern project to plan, and wanted it to emerge organically out of listening to the hopes and fears of the people he is called to serve. [...] Tom went out to talk to community members, from as diverse locations as the police station and local bars. From all this listening and study, he determined a clear need was an opening up, a continual reformation of the church. He heard a desire for a place ordinary people could risk talking about their faith, questions they have, and convictions they've come to. Around the same time, he ran across a book by Brian Berghoef called Pub Theology. The match between need and project was struck." Read the full article here.
Matt Fleming#iam_ Project at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd
Matt writes: "The #iam_ Project began with a team of staff and lay members of the congregation that met weekly to plan for Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd's change to the Narrative Lectionary. With a talented group of artists, teachers, marketers, and a couple lousy pastors around the table, we came up with an idea. We would invite the congregation to give us forty days, to explore the story of this man who says, "I am," defying empire and culture. And then we would invite our own congregation to say, "I am," in the face of all of the forces that claim our allegiance, that define us, that try to brand us with their identity."

Emmy KeglerWelcoming a Gay Intern at Light of the World
Chris writes: "Two intertwining aspects of Emmy's internship caught my attention: She is an intern at a new mission congregation in the suburbs, and she's openly gay. While common wisdom might assume urban congregations would be more open to welcoming an openly gay seminarian, "the times," as Bob Dylan sang, "they are a-changin'." The particular DNA of Light of the World helps make sense of why they were open to welcoming and helping to form Emmy in her pastoral journey even before becoming Reconciling in Christ (which is an official process of congregational welcome to GLBTQ persons)." Read the full article here.
Dilame AteboRefugee and Citizenship Mentoring at Lutheran Social Services
Tim writes: "With a Bachelor of Arts in Educational Psychology from Addis Ababa University in Ethopia, first-year Children Youth and Family MA student Dilame Atebo has come to Luther seminary with noble goals. Her work in Ethiopia has ranged from volunteering as a gender specialist through the United Nations Development Program, to the African Network for the Prevention and Protection against Child Abuse as a project officer. Dilame's passion for the dignity and rights of the most vulnerable in society fuels her faith and study and will continue to be a significant factor as she engages in context through her studies at Luther Seminary." Read the full article here.
Liz CheneyThe Bridge Ministry in the Iron Range
Liz writes: "With any great "vision" or project, when God is involved we may not end up in the same place we thought we might when we started and that has certainly been the case for my project. The Iron Range is a hard place to "break" into and that has been the case with college students. I think if I had another year our church would be hopping with college students! What I have discovered through this process is that God works in spite of our goals and visions and is always up to things even when we don't realize it or see it right away. The Bridge Ministry has served people that I never set out for it to and it has been a really wonderful "space" in the church!" Read the full article here.
Yu Yi (Jennie)Chinese Ministries at The University of Minnesota
Tim writes: "Jennie comes to Luther Seminary via her home of Shanghai, China. As a corporate executive, Jennie has had a fruitful career prior to coming to Luther. Yet, her role of leading a house church in Shanghai with her husband led her discernment down the path of theological education and Christian public leadership training at Luther Seminary. With an interest in doing thesis work around young adult faith formation, Jennie has discovered the Mandarin Scholars' Fellowship at the nearby University of Minnesota Saint Paul campus. In cooperation with the Hospitality Chinese Center, Jennie is merging her experiences with "house church" back home with the dozens of Mandarin scholars who happen to be studying in our neighborhood."

Lisa JankeViolence Prevention Work in Ngaoundéré, Cameroon
Lisa writes: "I learned from my experiences in Cameroon that Cross Cultural Education doesn't simply give insight into another culture, it gives insight into our own. It draws attention to things that we take for granted and may never have had the need to acknowledge or explain. It helps us see what we're doing well, and what we need to learn. It draws us into living more fully in the world God made. It may be some of the most difficult yet most rewarding work you will ever engage in." Read the full article here.
Rufus KudeeWelcoming a Cross-Cultural Intern at Como Park Lutheran
Rufus writes: "People often ask me how am I surviving in a different cultural context. I usually tell them that wherever God sends you, He prepares the people, place, and yourself for that area. I believe that God has prepared the people at CPLC and I see them as God's people. The people at CPLC treat me as their intern pastor. I have lived in different countries under different contexts. It is important for me to understand that with joy and excitement of starting out fresh as an intern in a new context, that every new context requires building a new relationship and trust." Read the full article here.
Dan NelsonDealing with Conflict in Internship
Dan writes: "Perhaps you are now finding yourself in a relationship that is tense. Whether you are an intern or a supervisor, there are very real challenges when the visions of two people called to preach the Gospel of Christ do not match up. What do we do with the dissonance and hurt that comes with a shattering of expectations of a year in ministry together?" Read the full article here.
