Everyone's on pins and needles this week while the Boy Scouts of America decide whether or not to lift the ban on LGBT leaders and scouts in their nation-wide program. Religious leaders have spoken out in support of the lift, including the United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalists, and a United Methodist pastor. The Southern Baptist Convention and the Roman Catholic Church, however, were quick to voice strong opposition.
Read more about faith story behind the Boy Scouts potential change.
Two Christian communities took important steps toward equality this week: a Lutheran church in Rockford voted to become the city's first LGBT affirming Lutheran congregation, and an Austin Episcopal church prepared for its first blessing for a gay couple. A Baptist minister and his life partner were jailed after staging a sit-in protest in response to being denied a marriage license. And a musical is being created to remember the 32 people killed in a fire in a gay bar that also housed the Metropolitan Community Church.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop in San Francisco tried to compare marriage equality to males lactating (which males can do, under certain circumstances). A Catholic adoption agency in Scotland was told it had to stop discriminating against LGBT couples or face government shutdown, and the Roman Catholic Church told its priests that the action against marriage equality is more important than ever. Also, RuPaul shared some spiritual convictions with the Huffington Post.

On the Rockies: Chacin knows demotion possible, but options limited at moment
An emotional Jim Tracy described Jhoulys Chacin's outing bluntly Tuesday night.
"It was awful," he said. "You can't pitch like that. You just can't."
Chacin has fallen from grace with a thud. Through his first 15 starts last year, he was 8-4 with a 2.71 ERA. He's 3-13 with a 5.14 ERA in his past 21 starts. Those are the numbers of a pitcher that needs to be fixing his mechanics in Triple-A. Chacin knows that's a possibility, with only the limited options in Triple-A saving him for another five days. The Rockies will discuss Chacin's situation today, according to general manager Dan O'Dowd.
"It's out of my control. I know when you don't do your job it's possible that you get sent down," Chacin said. "I want to be here."
Chacin is pitching with no confidence. He's missing badly on his fastball, slider and changeup. There are mechanical problems — his head moves too much, his shoulder flies open leaving him off line — but even that is an issue. Chacin believes he's thinking too much about his delivery rather than just attacking the hitters. If he makes another start, it's only because the options are scarce for the moment. Alex White is a strong candidate to replace him, but he struggled Tuesday night in Triple-A, requiring 86 pitches to record 14 outs. He has a 2.92 ERA for the Sky Sox.
Christian Friedrich, the former first-round pick, has been the staff ace for the Sky Sox. But the Rockies would like him to get one, if not two more starts to test a hamstring injury that recently landed him on the disabled list. Tyler Chatwood is on the short list of potential replacements, but needs a few more outings to stretch out his pitch count to 95 to 100. And Jorge De La Rosa, who starts Wednesday for Modesto in the first leg of his rehab assignment, won't be ready for a few more weeks.
Jeremy Guthrie's sore right shoulder AC joint is also complicating matters. It's becoming increasingly unlikely that he will start Tuesday against the Padres when he's eligible to come off the disabled list. If Guthrie is able to go, Guillermo Moscoso could slide into Chacin's spot in the rotation. That is if Moscoso pitches better. He struggled mightily last Saturday. And let's not forget that Drew Pomeranz, who starts the series finale Wednesday opposite of Clayton Kershaw, is pitching to keep his roster spot. He is unable to work five innnings, he could be headed to Colorado Springs with one of the aforementioned candidates in line to replace him.
With Guthrie's status uncertain, Moscoso stays in that spot for another start, leaving the Rockies sifting through their Triple-A options which are intriguing, but not necessarily ready at this point.
For all those asking, the Rockies are not prepared to make a run at free agent Roy Oswalt. An industry source told The Denver Post on Tuesday night that Oswalt would be open to pitching in Colorado for the right price. But the Rockies don't appear to have room in the budget for a pitcher who has leverage — the Yankees and Red Sox could sure use him — and the right to demand big dollars.

A few weeks back, I was at a local watering hole met a couple of girls who revealed to me that they were only 19 and 20. They showed me their IDs and, at least to my untrained eye, they looked just like the real deal. These didn't appear to be some old, expired IDs passed down from one sorority sister to another; these were high-tech replicas designed to pass even the strictest authentication tests.
I was already pretty certain where they had gotten them, and I turned out to be right: they had ordered them online.
I've known for a while that people could order fakes on the web, but I didn't realize they were THAT good. Granted, I'm not a bouncer or police officer, so they actually could've been pretty horrible. However, the fact that they got past the bouncer at that place attests to at least some level of competency in their forgery.
I was also surprised at how willing the girls were to admit they were using a fake. I could have easily been a police or excise officer. In fact, back in college a friend of mine got busted in that exact type of scenario. The whole ordeal cost him nearly $5,000 in court costs.
When I got home, I simply googled "buy fake ID" and one of the top was a subreddit (a custom-made subforum on the site Reddit.com) that was devoted to "Fake IDs" and anything related to them.
I then thought to myself, "I wonder how this works? Do I just give them a picture and some personal info?" My curiosity was starting to get the best of me, so I decided to order a couple and document the process. If nothing else, I knew it would make for an interesting story.
I chose two ID vendors that were listed as being reputable, had fairly quick production and shipping times, and had a quality score of 7 or above. Plus I planned on paying extra for rush delivery so I would get them quickly. Here are some of the reviews one of the sites had listed:
"Seal Team six level stealth, this is the type of stealth made for crossing customs. Some people are having such a hard time finding it he had to put instructions on his vendor page, which I think is hilarious."
"I received it today and the first thing I did was go to the liquor store and test it out. I went in and picked out the biggest, cheapest, strongest bottle of vodka I could get my hands on. I walk up to the register and put that big thing down, pulled out my ID, handed it to him. He looked at it, nodded, and handed it back to me. He didn't even question me or anything."
I then needed to secure some bitcoins, as that was the primary method of payment. For those of you who don't know what bitcoins are, they're basically a peer-to-peer digital currency that allows for semi-anonymous transactions to take place. There is a lot more to it, but for now we'll just stick with that. Needless to say, these guys aren't exactly taking American Express.
I found a site called Coinbase.com that made the process of acquiring bitcoins pretty easy, and after a few minutes, I was ready to go. It then took about 10 minutes to input the information I wanted on the IDs and officially submit my order.
Remember, this isn't Amazon.com, so I had a heavy suspicion that I just tossed about $350 out the window. However, one of the sites did give me a confirmation and tracking number, so they at least made that part seem legit. I eventually got an order number from the other site, but nothing after that. I should note that possession of an "actual" fake ID is also an "actual" crime (even a felony, in some instances), so the IDs I created for this experiment were for Peter Griffin from "Family Guy."
After that, I waited… and waited… and waited. The tracking number didn't update for days and I thought for sure I got scammed. But then, finally, it changed.
As you can see, my package was coming from Taiwan, which was unsurprising. I learned that nearly all the vendors outsource their ID production to China because it's cheap and the law can't touch them there.
About a day later, my package was delivered. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:
I have to admit, if I didn't already know they hide the ID inside ordinary objects I might have missed it, and I would have been forever wondering why they sent me some random air conditioner instruction manual. As you can see above, the ID was embedded into the middle page: sketchy, yet smart. I guess this is how people get illegal items through customs.
As far as the other ID I ordered, I still hadn't heard anything.
I took the new ID and compared it with a friend's legit Florida ID. The difference was immediately noticeable.
Regardless of whether or not a cartoon character was used, the color scheme of the entire ID was just too dark. In addition, you couldn't see the background image; it just looked like a giant blob.
I decided when I went out the next weekend to bring the ID along and simply ask the bouncers at each bar I went to what they thought. I then asked them to assign a "grade" based on the ID's quality and whether or not it would pass. I went to five bars that night, and here is the "report card" my ID received. (Take these results with a grain of salt: since the bouncers already knew it was a fake, it's reasonable to assume they automatically gave the ID a lower grade. Plus they all kind of thought it was a joke because it had Peter Griffin on it.)
In the end, based on my own assessment and those of the bouncers, my ID was definitely subpar.
I posted a picture of it on the subreddit I mentioned the before, and the general consensus was that it would probably pass in most out-of-state bars but not at any strict places that actually know what to look for – and definitely not in the state of Florida.
Digging a bit deeper, I downloaded an app called ID Scanner PRO, which has been marketing itself as a legitimate replacement for expensive ID scanners. it cost me 8 bucks, and low and behold, my ID scanned correctly and showed up as valid.
So while my ID may have not been completely worthless, I still wouldn't have been confident enough to use it even if I had included my actual info and picture.
It wasn't worth the risk back when I was in college, and it isn't worth it today. Yeah, if you get caught you'll probably just get turned away or get a slap on the hand, but depending on your luck and who catches you, you may actually wind up getting arrested. And if you're really unlucky, you could end up with a felony charge depending on the state you're in. This doesn't happen all the time but it certainly can. These high tech fakes are becoming a big problem for law enforcement, and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to make an example out of someone.
Oh and if you're wondering about that other ID I ordered… I never received it. I know what you're thinking, "Faceless Internet people who specialize in identity fraud just took your money!? How can this be???" So much for being a "reputable" vendor. Knowing this, if you like the idea of getting scammed for over $150 or arrested because of an ID's horrible quality, then by all means, ignore what I've said and order away. For the rest of you, you're far better off waiting until you're 21 to hit the local bars and clubs.

Oz promoted it and continues to assert that garcinia cambogia is an effective aid to weight loss. The claims for weight loss are nothing short of outlandish and there is real science that suggests the whole thing is a hoax. Studies that claim to have found weight loss were carried out on animals. Studies involving humans are for the most part badly designed. A few quality studies have been carried out over the years, starting in 1998 with a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 135 adults over 12 weeks published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Avian Flu Not Spread By Wild Birds
Dr. Scott Newman, international wildlife coordinator for avian influenza within the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, has confirmed there is no substantiation that wild birds are culpable for the spread of the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus from Asia to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Speaking earlier this year at the Bangkok International Conference on Avian Influenza, he also said there is no evidence that wild birds are a reservoir for the virus, as many scientists first suspected. Carriage of H5N1 across large scale spatial distances, spreading to other birds and causing mortality in poultry flocks, has not been identified, Dr. Newman told the media. He also emphasized the need to direct attention to other factors, such as the poultry trade, and he recognized smuggling in particular, which may be spreading and sustaining the often-fatal disease.
"Wet" Markets Now Closed in Taiwan
As of April, Taiwan's cruel "wet" markets, at which live poultry are sold and slaughtered, are no longer legal. Horrific conditions typical at these markets were documented and exposed through a campaign by the World Society for the Protection of Animals |and the Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan. Stacked in cages on top of each other, animals often struggled to move with broken wings and legs, and many were thrown into scalding tanks to be de-feathered alive. The ban will also help prevent the spread of avian flu.
Little Penguin, Long Life
On July 10, 1995, a ship named the Iron Baron grounded on Tasmania's Hebe Reef at the entrance to the nearby Tamar River, spilling 600,000 lbs. of fuel oil into the sea. Though many thousands of animals died as a result, including 10,000 to 20,000 penguins, a large wildlife rehabilitation program established close to the site was instrumental in saving many of the impacted species. One survivor, a Little penguin, was successfully rehabilitated and lived until this year-surviving more than twice as long as the typical 6.5 year life expectancy for the species. According to a band fitted to the penguin at the center, the animal was brought in as an adult, weighing 1.7 lbs., and released about two weeks later at 2.1 lbs. He continued to live in the area for over 12 years, and his body was found less than five miles from where he was released.
"It is an incredibly valuable record to get as it highlights that the massive wildlife rehabilitation efforts that are put in after oil spills can certainly be effective in reducing the impacts of a spill," said Rehabilitation Manager Mark Holdsworth, noting that over 100 volunteers assisted the efforts to clean, feed and house approximately 2,000 Little penguins taken in after the spill. Unless seabirds are treated immediately, even small amounts of oil on their plumage can be lethal, as it may cause drowning, hypothermia or acute toxicity, explained Dr. Rosemary Gales, head of wildlife and marine conservation at the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries and Water.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Vodafone and China Mobile said on Friday they had pulled out of the battle to win a new license in Myanmar, saying the conditions set by the country did not suit the two operators.
The Chinese and British groups, the first and second-largest operators in the world respectively, said in April that they had joined forces to bid for a license in the country formerly known as Burma, where the government wants to increase the number of mobile operators from two to four.
They were among 12 applicants to reach the short list.
"Following the publication of the final license conditions on 20 May, the Vodafone-China Mobile consortium has reached the decision not to proceed with the process as the opportunity does not meet the strict internal investment criteria to which both Vodafone and China Mobile adhere," Vodafone said.

Don't set out without telling somebody where you are going and when to expect you back.
Wherever you're headed, always take local advice about any natural hazards you might encounter.
If you're inexperienced or in any way uncertain, it's a good idea to hook up with a local guide, instructor or organised group.
Finally, please follow the Countryside Code and the Waterways Code.

Hyperthyroidism means that your body has too much thyroid hormone, which controls how your body uses energy. Too much thyroid hormone can make you lose weight quickly, have a fast heartbeat, sweat a lot, or feel nervous and moody. If it isn't treated, it can cause serious problems.

It was whilst flicking through Professor Alan S. C. Ross's book 'Don't Say It' that I stumbled merrily upon these two terms, which were both new to me. A pre-lactarian is someone who pours their milk into their tea or coffee before the hot water; a post-lactarian is someone who adds milk last.
But which method is correct? Well, there is no strict answer to this. It has its roots in class distinction.
In previous eras, adding the milk in before the hot water was always done by the 'downstairs' of the big houses, who would have pottery mugs. These mugs did not react too well to the boiling water, and thus the cold milk was poured in first so that it instantly cooled the water and thus the mugs survived in one piece.
Meanwhile, in the 'upstairs' of the house, where they could afford cups and saucers made from china or porcelain, the milk could be added after the hot water, as the cups were able to cope with the boiling water as they were made from a more resilient material.
As to who actually invented the terms pre and post-lactarian, I do not know and I am still researching, but they are much grander than some of the terms one could use instead!

A Town Named Tea
Oh, to live in a town named Tea.
Tea, South Dakota, is a small town about ten miles south of Sioux Falls. It claims to be the fastest growing city in the state. According to census figures, it has surged from a population of 786 in 1990 to 4,100 today.
Tea will hold Teapot Days in June again this year. The annual fest features a teapot display and the crowning of Ma and Pa Teapot.
The interesting thing about Tea is that the name of the town has no real connection to tea - the plant or the beverage. According to a local historian, the community began life as the village of Byron. Around the turn of the century, the citizenry realized that there were too many towns named Byron (don't you hate when that happens?) and held a public meeting to come up with ten alternate names. By the time they got up to nine they were running out of ideas and everyone was ready to adjourn for a tea break and so some wit suggested that they add Tea to the list.
The rest, as the saying goes, was history.

Stumbled upon your post when looking for Rooibos teas. Just thought I'd send a wave & "hello" from Tea, SD. We moved there in 1984 (MN transplants) when the pop. was small. Moved outside the town when the "population explosion" began in earnest in the early 90's (it's now creeping up to 3000).

If the name Tea was added on a whim due to their "tea break," how is the town's name not connected to the beverage?

Great Fund Small, Nimble, forward Thinking and Helpful
Fund: MHS Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-02-11
Vijay is clearly a rising star and goes out of his way to be helpful and thoughtful. A super sharp guy that is relatively new, but has the humility to listen and dissect things logically.
Mark is fairly low key, but the success of his carefully selected portfolio and well-respected LP base is impressive and puts him in the top tier of small funds in my mind.
I soft pitched them in August 2010 and have gotten to know the fund and its strategy well over the past several months. Although our stage/industry focus/trajectory didn't make for an investment fit, I've gotten some great advice, contacts and friendship from these guys. Wishing continued success to MHS Capital!PRIVATE: Members Only

Fiddling at the Republican Duty‐Suspensions‐as‐Earmarks Hoedown while Economic Growth Burns
I could be writing in this space about the merits of across-the-board, permanent elimination of U.S. tariffs as a catalyst for U.S. business investment, hiring, and economic growth. However, I am forced to devote time and energy to argue that temporary import duty suspensions are not earmarks.
The same goes for our beloved legislators. Because congressional Republicans are mired in a debate about whether temporary suspensions of import duties that benefit fewer than 10 entities are earmarks under House rules, there is no room for a substantive discussion about why we even have import duties in the first place.
Hey Capitol Hill: Duties, not duty suspensions, are the earmarks you should eradicate.

It is a problem that most Americans think they would like to have: Being told they don't weigh enough.
'I'm 84 years old, 5 feet tall, I weigh 90 pounds, and I've been trying to gain 5 pounds for the past three years,' says Dolores Garcia, a Loveland woman.
'I have friends who say they'll give me 5 of their pounds. But it's not a joke to me.'
She snacks constantly, takes nutritional supplements, drinks protein shakes and eats nutrient-rich foods, including dried fruits and nuts. But the needle on the scale won't move.
'Underweight can be a problem, especially for seniors,' says Bonnie T. Jortberg, assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
'When you aren't absorbing calories, your body isn't processing the food that goes through your system. You're open to more infections, because being frail and thin compromises your immune system.
'It causes heart problems. It also affects your bones; osteoporosis is only one problem there. On one hand, this is a very select, small population. But being underweight is a problem, and there are serious risks associated with not carrying enough weight.'
Colleen Gill, a University of Colorado Medical School dietitian who specializes in oncology and chronic disease, sees dangerous weight loss especially in cancer patients and the elderly.
'One thing I have to address with many patients is that for most of their lives, they've been trying to lose weight,' Gill said.
'They see the weight loss as the silver lining in their diagnosis. Sometimes people tell them how good they look because they're thinner. But if you lose weight at more than 2 pounds a week, your body goes into famine mode, and starts consuming muscle mass.'
After age 50, people lose about 6 percent of muscle mass, which means a loss of 10 to 15 percent of their strength. It's harder to carry groceries, walk up stairs, or chase a dog.
'When your body goes to muscle mass to break it down for protein, it makes just enough proteins to get by,' Gill said.
'That includes proteins for the immune system. It will become compromised, which is why we're concerned about malnutrition. You can have obese, malnourished patients as well as underweight, malnourished patients. And if you are immobile, it will be harder to bounce back after you're sick.'
Exercise is the answer The solution? Get moving, says Rudy McClinon, 60, who spent his salad days playing for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Calgary Stampeders, and now works as a personal trainer.
In the exercise class that McClinon teaches at Denver's Mount Zion Senior Center, the students are between 68 and 98 years old. Among them is a client who suffered a stroke. The medications affected her appetite, and she lost an alarming amount of weight.
'Now she's back up to 100 pounds, and wants to get up to 116,' McClinon says.
'She's on her way now, and she's building back muscle. This class is a great example of what resistance training can do for you. When you get older, you lose weight in unhealthy ways. We have people in the class who have stents in their hearts, diabetes, high blood pressure, balance problems. I've had both hips replaced.'
Among his star pupils: Lugene Hopper, age 92. She's a small, peppy dynamo.
'Mr. Rudy's class keeps me from having high blood pressure, helps me with my balance, and avoids dementia because, you know, you lose some of your mental ability as you age,' Hopper confided.
'When you get old, your body seems to shrink or something. The exercise I get here, even stretching, helps me even when I'm not here. It helps my eyesight and my attention span last longer, so I can drive to church on Sundays. My doctor says Mr. Rudy's class is helping my heart, and keeping me from getting diabetes.'
KEEPING IT ON Sometimes losing weight can do a body more harm than good. Seniors and people with chronic diseases need to eat nutrient-dense foods several times a day, and exercise regularly.
Three tips for achieving a healthy weight
Advice from University of Colorado School of Medicine dietitian Colleen Gill.
1. Schedule snacks and meals, especially if appetite loss or fatigue is a problem. Use timers and alarm clocks as reminders that 'it's time for a dose of food,' Gill says. Four to five meals and snacks daily is ideal.
2. Make a list of appealing foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Especially if a caretaker is helping out, a list makes grocery shopping easier, and helps cut down on power struggles about food.
'Think of it as a work in progress, so you can add something new after you go out to eat and find that you really like French toast,' Gill said.
3. Always drink fluids with calories, as opposed to non-calorie fluids including tea, coffee and water. That includes protein shakes, smoothies and juices. That way, you can boost your calorie count as you stay hydrated.

The judge in the Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit said Thursday that she doesn't expect the case, now in its fourth month, to go to the jury before late September.
Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos said she thought jurors needed an update on the case, which has moved slowly.
One juror, according to the judge, had signaled that the end of August was a "drop dead date." The judge did not address what will happen at that time, but it raises the question of whether an alternate will take the juror's place. One juror, who moved to Atlanta, already has been replaced.
The judge gave jurors no explanation for the length of the trial.
"It is what it is," she said.
Palazuelos told jurors to write her a note if they had problems.
The pace of the trial will slow considerably next month with no court scheduled on several days. Palazuelos said earlier in the trial that jurors had pushed back appointments to September, when they expected the case would be over. As a result some are busy on certain days.
Jackson's mother and three children are suing AEG Live, saying the concert promoter and producer negligently hired Conrad Murray, the doctor who administered the fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol to the singer to help him sleep in June 2009. AEG says Murray was Jackson's personal physician, that the singer hired him and that any money it was supposed to pay Murray was part of an advance to Jackson.
Kenny Ortega, the director of Jackson's ill–fated 50 comeback concerts in London, continued his testimony Thursday after a break of several weeks so he could travel to China for work.
Ortega wrote an email to AEG chief executive Randy Phillips five days before Jackson's death expressing his concern with the singer's physical and emotional state, saying the pop star wouldn't be ready for the concerts and that he needed to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. .
Asked if Jackson was responsible for his own health, Ortega replied, "I didn't think he was being very responsible but it was his responsibility, in my opinion."
Debbie Rowe, Jackson's former wife and mother of two of his children, is expected to be called to the witness stand next week.

Lucchino says keeping Bradley 'an easy decision'
Red Sox rookie outfielder's torrid spring made starting clock on service time irrelevant
BOSTON -- The fans want the best players on the field. The players typically want the best teammates. The manager typically wants the best team.
Owners and front offices want all of that, too, but sometimes there are other things to consider.
In the case of rookie Jackie Bradley Jr., the discussions that surfaced among those in the Red Sox ownership group last month presented a unanimous feeling: Forget the potential cost and put the best nine players on the field.
Assuming the young outfielder sticks around, their decision to put Bradley on the Opening Day roster -- instead of sending him back to the Minors -- might cost the Red Sox a year of contractual control. He could become arbitration-eligible after the 2015 season instead of after 2016 and could become a free agent a year earlier, too.
"[The decision] actually wasn't that hard, given the extraordinary performance he put in at Spring Training," Red Sox president and chief executive officer Larry Lucchino said Friday, speaking to Bradley's .419 average and .507 on-base percentage in 28 Grapefruit League games. "He really earned it."
For a 22-year-old to have as many walks as strikeouts -- 10 of each -- in a Major League camp was certainly impressive. But not every team felt the same way about some of their top prospects, despite strong Spring Training performances.
Rays top prospect Wil Myers had a solid spring, hitting .286 with a .762 OPS. Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud hit .343 with an .872 OPS. Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 overall Draft pick by the Pirates in 2011, held opponents to a .216 batting average in 10 innings. But of them began the season in the Minors.
But every situation is unique, and not every young prospect is deemed ready for Major League action when Spring Training ends. But some credit could be given to Boston's ownership, which collaborated with general manager Ben Cherington before making the decision on Bradley.
"There were conversations, there always are," Lucchino said. "This is one of the things that came up and we knew what the options were. We thought it was pretty much a consensus that developed at the end of Spring Training.
"We also knew how important it was to get off to a good start."
A depleted Yankees lineup or not, taking two of three in the Bronx was a much better way to start a season than in 2011, when the Red Sox lost their first six games, or in 2012, when the opened 1-5.
With his .429 on-base percentage and above-average defense through three regular-season games, Bradley has contributed to the good start.
"We didn't want to cut any corners with the best team we could put on the field in April," Lucchino said. "That just evolved into a relatively easy decision, even though a lot of other teams decide to go in a different direction [with their top prospects]. For us, it was an easy decision."

I've tried a few different if and else if statements and nothing seems to work. To be clear i want it to just be RED when they've used 4 out of 5 chances but plain black text otherwise. Any help is very appreciated

In 2010 the Media Industry News recognized our Life With MS Blog community. In the ensuing years, my email box has filled to overflowing with news, offers, products and press releases. I go through all of it and discard the vast majority.
But sometimes…
Every now and again something ends up in that email repository that is worth a closer look. After a bit more digging the occasional nugget is worth a blog. Some of it might not be all that relevant to me directly, but a couple of things from last week got me thinking. Maybe I should start an occasional post called "From The Life With MS Inbox" so that I could share a thing or two that might not be enough for an entire blog, but might be interesting to some of our readers.
I don't know how often we'll share – I guess that depends on what comes in with the recycling. Every once in a while, however, I expect a gem or two to pop out.
Today, there are two.
First, a product that will make more sense for those of us who have a bit of an issue getting food from plate to mouth without a detour to lap. It's called a "Cravaat™" and is based on the original Cravat. The stain-resistant microfiber garment looks like a nice scarf, but it's actually equivalent in function to a bib.
I know I've lost more than one shirt to unsteady hands. In the "old days", when I was traveling like crazy and got business class upgrades (and they served actual meals on planes), the napkins had a button hole in them so you could save your wardrobe. Not something you find in most dining establishments. I thought this "accessory" might make sense for some of us with multiple sclerosis.
Also, in my box last week was a link to what I thought was a most exquisite short film called GALLOP from the folks at ShiftMS, a social network established "where young MSers meet share experiences and support each other."
I shared the film with my Facebook followers and the response was resoundingly positive. Enough people thanked me for sharing it with them that I wanted to make sure our blog community got the chance to see it as well.
So, there you have it — our first "From the Life With MS Inbox" blog. I'll keep sifting through the garbage to see if there are any prizes shuffled in.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Oregon fans gave Brandon Roy a standing ovation before last night's game. UW's Brandon Roy. Who was decked out in purple UW gear. What's wrong with this picture?
As part of a season-long goodbye to Mac Court, the Ducks hosted Washington in their last ever matchup at The Pit. Brandon Roy was the Huskies' honorary captain, and brought the house down as soon as he stepped on the court. Am I wrong in raising an eyebrow here?
I'm not the only one who did a double-take. Said Roy,
My teammates, they were wondering, 'you're going to be honored at an Oregon game?' I was like, 'yeah!'"
I understand that because Roy has led the Blazers' resurgence, he'll never have to buy a drink in Oregon for the rest of his life. But Luke Ridnour was booed at a UW game, even though he was a Sonic at the time.
Let this be a lesson for anyone who prefers the college game to the pros. Win in the big leagues, and school rivalries go out the window.

App Review: Angry Birds by ClickGamer
by Rob on
February 19, 2010
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Games, Staff Favorites
There's something addicting about launching various bird types from a slingshot in an attempt to hit some green pigs. That is exactly what Angry Birds by ClickGamer is all about. The whole premise is that the green pigs have stolen their eggs (hence, they're angry) so now it's revenge time – but with your help.
Angry Birds consists of two worlds and more levels than most other puzzle or physics games in the App Store – more than enough to keep you busy for hours. The complexity of each level increases steadily but so does the capabilities of the angry birds that you propel at them. At first, you just launch a red bird that has not special powers, but later on you get a blue bird that when you tap the screen (while in flight) the bird splits into three. Then there's the bomb bird, he's black, which when you touch the screen he blows up. He'll also blow up after he's hit the ground. This guy is probably the most effective bird to launch (and the most fun) since he does the most damage to the pigs' side.
As previously mentioned, the object here is to launch birds and the green pigs. If you hit a pig he pops, he'll also pop when the surrounding debris hits him. You progress to the next level once all of the green pigs have been eliminated. You may need to get creative to ensure you can pop all the pigs before running out of birds to sling at them though. Also, you can restart any level at any time and as many times as it takes to pass it.
Angry Birds is a great, fun physics game similar to Ragdoll Blaster. We've been enjoying it for several days now and I find myself addicted to it. My 5yo son also really enjoys it and giggles and laughs as he plays it. If you're a fan of physics style games (like Ragdoll Blaster) then this one is a must. Highly recommended.
What We Liked: Fun and addicting physics style game, price is right.
What We Didn't Like: Some levels will take you many, many tries to clear it – this can get a little old and boring.

More International Forces Headed to Afghanistan
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2006 - Several NATO countries have agreed to send additional forces to Afghanistan to fill the troop requirement agreed upon a year and a half ago, NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe said today.
A conference in Warsaw, Poland, earlier this month with the chiefs of defense from all 26 allied nations yielded no offers of additional support for NATO forces in Afghanistan, but extended negotiations after the conference resulted in definite offers from four countries, U.S. Marine Gen. James L. Jones said at a Pentagon news conference.
These offers, along with several other tentative offers, will bring the NATO troop level in Afghanistan close to 100 percent of what was agreed upon in the alliance's military plan for Afghanistan, he said. The force is now manned at about 85 percent.
"What we were looking for was the forces that would give depth and robustness to (the commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force) and give him more maneuverability throughout the country," Jones said.
Romania is deploying a battalion, which will arrive in Afghanistan in October and be fully operational by the middle of October, Jones said. This force will constitute the operational reserve for NATO, he said. In addition, Poland has announced the deployment of a maneuver battalion and special operations forces beginning in January. Poland has agreed that this battalion can be used as the tactical theater reserve, which Jones has said is necessary to give the NATO commander flexibility in operations.
The United Kingdom and Canada are augmenting their forces in Afghanistan, and NATO is incorporating more Afghan battalions into operations, Jones said. As Afghan army units continue to become operational, they can be useful in freeing up NATO forces for other operations and stay behind to maintain security and enable reconstruction to proceed, he said.
NATO's call for additional forces was not made in desperation, and the recent operations in southern Afghanistan were never in doubt, Jones stressed. The additional forces are part of an established agreement between the allied countries and will give the NATO commander more options and flexibility, he said.
Operation Medusa in southern Afghanistan concluded last weekend, when Taliban forces retreated from the area, Jones said. The offensive operation was generated by the Taliban, who decided to engage NATO in its first operational ground test in the area around Kandahar, he said.
The Kandahar region historically has been the center of narcotics operations in Afghanistan and a haven for the Taliban, because it hasn't had a strong government or military presence, Jones said. The arrival of NATO troops in the area in July was a shock to the Taliban and caused them to use more conventional tactics in challenging the troops, he said.
"They paid a very heavy price for it," Jones said. "Our intent throughout was to signal to the insurgents, the government of Afghanistan and the people of the region, as well as to the international community, that NATO forces would not back down from exercising robust and overwhelming combat power when necessary."
After the completion of offensive operations in southern Afghanistan, NATO forces immediately began reconstruction and relief efforts, Jones said. The U.S. already has made available half a million dollars for these efforts, and NATO is engaged with the international community to enable the return of displaced citizens and set the conditions for long-term reconstruction and development activities, he said.
"It's important that we understand that the way ahead in Afghanistan is to link any successful operational mission with visible, tangible demonstration of aid and relief available to the local population," he said.
Success in Afghanistan will not be won by the military alone, Jones said. The international community must mobilize to develop the government, police and justice systems, and to combat the narcotics problem to bring lasting change to the country, he said.
"If military action is not followed up by visible, tangible, sizable and correctly focused reconstruction and development efforts, then we will be in Afghanistan for a much longer period of time than we need to be," he said.

The Director-General meets the President of Malawi
On 11 July, the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, met with Her Excellency Dr Joyce Banda, President of the Republic of Malawi, with whom she exchanged views about the cooperation between Malawi and UNESCO.
The President of Malawi expressed her country's support to UNESCO and commended the Organization's action in Malawi in a wide range of areas – including technical and vocational education (TVET), HIV/AIDS preventive education, inclusive education, teacher's development, tangible and intangible heritage, communication for development through the establishment of community radio, freedom of expression, natural resources as well as biodiversity conservation. She asserted her commitment to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, with particular reference to those relating to education, maternal health, child mortality, gender parity and food security.
Her Excellency Dr Joyce Banda appealed to UNESCO to continue supporting her country's effort to address issues of access, quality and efficiency in the area of education, to promote literacy and life-long learning for poverty eradication and sustainable development, and to reform the technical and vocational education sector.
The President referred to other pressing issues calling for UNESCO's support -- including gender-based violence, water resources management, technical assistance to the Malawi University of Science and Technology, the promotion of girls participation in science and mathematics, technical support in the preparation of applications for sites to be inscribed in the World Heritage List, the development of creative industries and cultural tourism, the training of journalists and the development of community radios as instrument for promoting pluralism and empowering citizens.
The Director-General commended the President for her leadership and for the achievements of Malawi under her presidency. She praised in particular her ambitious programme to enhance access to higher education as well as its quality, and indicated that UNESCO will accompany the country's efforts through assistance for capacity building, the development of relevant curricula, and facilitating networking with other relevant higher education institutions in and beyond the region.
The Director-General welcomed the country's continued commitment to address the needs of young people and acknowledged the importance to train youth to provide them with the necessary skills to enable their insertion in the labour market – thereby also enhancing their social inclusion. Ms Bokova also noted a shared understanding with President Joyce Banda of the importance of girl child and adolescent education and a shared vision of reducing dropouts and promoting science and technology education for girls.
Prior to her encounter with the President of the Republic, the Director-General had a meeting with the line Ministers in UNESCO areas of competences and the Vice-Chancellors of public universities. The meeting, chaired by the Honourable Mrs Eunice Kazembe, Minister of Education, Science and Technology, reviewed cooperation between Malawi and UNESCO and identified programmes to be strengthened as well as new areas of cooperation.
On that same day, the Director-General also visited Lilongwe Technical College and launched the second phase of the Capacity Building for Education for All (CapEFA) programme. She also met with development partners in education (notably, UNICEF, DFID, CIDA, World Bank, GIZ). They exchanged views on the contributions of international partners to the education sector, discussed immediate priorities for development partners in education and successful initiatives to build on, and explored new avenues for enhanced cooperation in support of the country efforts.
On conclusion of her official visit, a Joint Communiqué setting the roadmap for future cooperation between Malawi and UNESCO was signed by the Director-General and the Minister of Education, Science and Technology.
