Christian Science lecturer Horacio Omar Rivas says he is convinced that ''there is a divine law that brings the good tidings of salvation to the human race'' and that this divine law has healing effects as one opens his thought to the compassionate nature of the gospel. Mr. Rivas gave his lecture, ''Healing Under the Law and the Gospel,'' at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, on Sunday. He also gave it in Spanish later that afternoon.
The lecturer lives in Miami, Florida, where he teaches Christian Science in English and Spanish. Mr. Rivas, an American citizen, was born and educated in Buenos Aires, Argentina. While still a college student, he began devoting himself to the healing ministry of Christian Science. He is a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship and has lectured in several languages on five continents.
Mr. Rivas was introduced by Mrs. Sally Ades.
An abridged text of the lecture follows:
The iron doors were automatically slammed behind me. I was a Christian Science Field Worker on my first visit to a maximum-security prison. The job consisted of providing the inmates with help through prayer when they requested it.
I was given a tour of the penitentiary by one of the officers. The tour took me to every section of the jail and included detailed information about the crimes the inmates had committed.
Nobody, even the most insensitive individual, could have remained indifferent , hearing about so many atrocities. One was caught between fear and loathing of those who had shown so little respect for other people's rights and sentiments. After the tour I was supposed to read the Bible for those very individuals. How could I be of help with feelings of fear and resentment? I also began to have doubts about the possibility of accomplishing any good in the face of such subhuman tendencies.
Then I turned to God in prayer. It was a simple desire to be of help, to entertain the right idea of man. And my ''Christian Science Hymnal'' opened at random to Hymn No. 83. The title of that tune is ''Innocents.'' I read, ''God made all His creatures free;/Life itself is liberty.''
On the one hand, the law had declared those individuals guilty. But on the other hand, Jesus proved through countless healings that everyone, in his true being, is innocent and perfect, the child of God. Jesus exemplified the compassionate nature of the Christ, the divine manifestation of God. It was his Christliness that enabled him to perceive man's innocence and to heal and regenerate human lives.
I decided to be obedient to what our Master taught in my attitude toward those men. It was as if an inner voice was telling me that I needed to be more compassionate, more loving, more spiritually generous, seeing all only as spiritual reflections of God. Siding with the law of Love
Instead of accepting the traditional opinion that man is a mortal - born in sin and condemned to eternal suffering - I took sides with the eternal law of God, divine Love, a law that enables us to enjoy the good tidings of healing and regeneration according to Jesus' gospel. This marked the beginning of a very useful, healing activity within those walls, which I took part in for several years.
What was that inner voice, that intuition, that conviction, which led me to accept the innocence of man? Was that a divine influence? Is that divine influence in each one of us?
I'm convinced that it is, and that there's a divine law that brings the good tidings of salvation to the human race. Let's consider together the healing effect of the law of divine Love as we open our thoughts to the compassionate nature of the gospel.
I, too, was once a prisoner - not behind bars - but a prisoner of an enslaving habit. I used to be a chain smoker, and very attached to heavy drinking, also.
As a teen-ager I wanted to show the world I was very mature. That I had a mind of my own, and that I did everything the grown-ups did. Oh, it was so sophisticated to display a knowledge of cigarette brands and bottles of wine. As in the movies! But the alluring posture didn't last long. It soon became a regular habit, then a seeming necessity, and during my early 20s, an aggressive vice.
From a superficial point of view it seemed I was just following a personal inclination to smoke and drink. ''What's wrong with that?'' I would say defensively. ''Many people do it.'' Now I can see that behind that habit was the world's general opinion that man lives only to satisfy the appetites of the flesh.
Then, in the early '60s, I was introduced to Christian Science, or the Science of Christ, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. After a few months of study I was healed of both habits.
The battle wasn't just an effort to become clean-cut. It was a challenge to the worldwide belief that man is a mortal with a private materialistic mind instead of the reflection of God, divine Mind. Being influenced by worldly trends was robbing me of my freedom. ''What's freedom?'' I would ask myself. I was gathering from my study of this Science that to be free is to be governed by the law of divine Love and not by any sensual urge.
Some of you may wonder how a healing of this nature takes place. It takes place as we open our thought to the fact that we are not, in reality, governed by impulses beyond our control. Man is not a hedonistic mortal whose only motivation for living is to satisfy carnal impulses. He is the immortal expression of God, Spirit, and our acknowledgment of this higher concept of man always leads to healing. 'No condemnation . . .'
Healing through spiritual means is the result of the law of God in operation, the law of divine Love, a law that supersedes any enslaving philosophy or human condemnation. We can all say with the Apostle Paul: ''There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death'' (Rom. 8:1, 2). This clear sense of spiritual dominion frees us from any imposition of physical sense. This is the regeneration that Christian Science teaches and practices.
There's nothing more satisfying than finding one's freedom. We can certainly say that God created man innocent and free, in His image, spiritual, not material, as the first chapter of Genesis indicates.
''Innocent: free from guilt or sin'' is a definition we find in Webster. This defines our real, spiritual identity.
Human beings acquire vices or bad habits because of different, unfortunate circumstances. But no matter how deeply entrenched we may seem to be in a pernicious habit, we can find freedom. As we accept our spiritual innocence and strive to live according to it, we won't be prisoners of unrestrained impulses anymore.
Freedom - be it physical or moral - comes when we realize that nobody needs to be attached to appetites and passions. Freedom comes when we feed a desire to obey the moral and spiritual law - that law given by Moses and demonstrated by Jesus in healing the sick and regenerating the sinner. This law is summarized in the first commandment, ''Thou shalt have no other gods before me'' (Ex. 20:3).
The so-called pleasures of the flesh would venerate matter and deny that man is the child of divine Spirit. Any form of idolatry brings suffering, because it breaks the first commandment.
Obedience to the first commandment promotes morality and healing. It promotes the understanding that law emanates from God - that is, from infinite Truth. The harmony of our being is established by divine law. Because divine Spirit is absolutely All, the only source of genuine law, nothing physical or sensual can be law.
Obedience to the first commandment means to put God, Spirit, first, to consider real and permanent the qualities that originate in Spirit - the purity, love, and goodness. This allegiance to Spirit establishes moral behavior, dominion over passions and false appetites. Spiritually based conduct doesn't vary with time or fashion. It remains unchanged through the ages and can be practiced in any society when individuals are willing to understand and prove that Spirit, not matter, governs man.
This kind of understanding brings liberation from any enslaving habit, be it smoking, drinking, or the use of drugs. And here we should clarify a point. Some people may entertain the notion that ''Christian Science is that religion which doesn't believe in doctors.'' Well, I can honestly say that it doesn't promote or teach antagonism toward anybody or anything. No one is more qualified than the Leader of the Christian Science movement to correct any misconception on the subject. Mrs. Eddy says: ''A genuine Christian Scientist loves Protestant and Catholic, D.D. and M.D., - loves all who love God, good; and he loves his enemies. It will be found that, instead of opposing, such an individual subserves the interests of both medical faculty and Christianity, and they thrive together, learning that Mind-power is good will towards men'' (''The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany,'' p. 4). What it means to have one God
It's clear, then, that a genuine Christian Scientist isn't antagonistic toward the medical profession. But we should consider that Mrs. Eddy also says, ''Religion and medicine must be dematerialized to present the right idea of Truth; then will this idea cast out error and heal the sick'' (''The People's Idea of God,'' pp. 7, 8).
Christian Science teaches us how to worship God ''in spirit and in truth'' (John 4:24) - thus fulfilling the first commandment. Obedience to divine Spirit constitutes the most effective form of religion and medicine. It eliminates the need for drugs, for material methods, because it inculcates an absolute reliance on divine Spirit and Love, a reliance that brings healing. In other words, we don't take drugs because we find healing in understandingly worshiping God, Spirit, the opposite of matter.
Whatever seems to glorify the belief that matter has intelligence or substance is a mortal imposition, which can be eliminated by yielding to the first commandment. To have one God means to adhere to purity, to gain dominion over sensuality and freedom from enslaving habits. To have one God means to understand that man is created by Spirit and influenced only by divine Mind, by God.
Looking to our spiritual origin and yielding to the guidance of divine law, each one of us can discover his innocence, no matter how strong the attachment to materiality seems to be.
Christ Jesus, the master Christian, our Exemplar of obedience to the laws of God, admonished his followers, ''Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect'' (Matt. 5:48). Proving we can follow the Master
Though our behavior sometimes seems far from the absolute demonstration of Jesus' command, every effort to be pure, every battle won over hate and discord, every moment of conscious discernment of our spiritual sonship with God, is a proof that it's possible to follow our Master's admonition.
Now, we won't progress by promoting an alluring personality. A material personality, good or bad, is not the image and likeness of God. Again, innocence and wholeness are found in the perception and expression of our spiritual individuality - our only true individuality.
A young Christian Scientist had a very unpleasant skin problem. Acne seemed common among people of her age, and she had accepted this false view as law, strongly endorsed by medical theories.
The first step was to turn away from observing the physical trouble and to see herself in all her purity and perfection as God's spiritual idea. She felt supported by her understanding that man's nature is guiltless. She became imbued with the idea of the universality of purity. She realized that purity of thought and action as a spiritual quality was bestowed by God, not only on her but on His whole creation.
In a very short time the acne disappeared, and there were no scars. This person told me recently that she wasn't specifically searching for physical healing - though she didn't like the skin problem. But she was divinely impelled to search for man's innocence and purity.
As you can see, healing in Christian Science is initiated as we perceive spiritual perfection, not only in ourselves but in all, seeing it as the real and only identity of man. This opens our thought to the power of God and the perfection of man. Then the Christ, God's healing idea, removes any sense of suffering, or punishment.
In ''Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures'' Mrs. Eddy says, ''In proportion to his purity is man perfect; and perfection is the order of celestial being which demonstrates Life in Christ, Life's spiritual ideal'' (p. 337).
Everyone needs to be spiritually guided in order to conform to God's requirements and express man's legitimate innocence. And this guidance, as I've said before, is found in the Ten Commandments.
We've talked about the first commandment and our need to be always led by Spirit, God. How about the other commandments? It is possible to apply every commandment to every aspect of our life.
''Thou shalt not steal'' (Ex. 20:15), for example, directs us not only to refrain from taking other people's possessions and rights, but also not to rob ourselves of moral and spiritual rights conferred to us by God - to protect our innocence and purity.
Let's take the fifth commandment, ''Honour thy father and thy mother'' (Ex. 20:12). It's accepted as law that one's childhood environment determines his later mental and physical characteristics. But this belief causes needless suffering. I'm convinced it's more natural to get rid of impositions stemming from that belief by working for our own spiritual regeneration than to blame our parents for our present shortcomings.
Fulfilling the law ''Honour thy father and thy mother'' certainly includes being grateful for what most parents do for their children. We can be grateful for their dedication, tenderness, and protection, for their efforts to provide us with shelter and education to the best of their ability. Those who feel they aren't or weren't properly provided for by their parents may need to express deep compassion and forgiveness in order to obey this commandment. Such qualities emanate from divine Love. Pursuing regeneration, not punishment.
Our forgiveness, compassion, or gratitude should be impelled by our understanding that God is good, therefore good is ever present, independent of human personalities. No matter what seems to have happened in the past, nobody, in reality, can be deprived of the shelter and care of our only real Father-Mother - God, infinite Love.
Obeying all the commandments of the divine law, we become genuine followers of that perfect model, Christ Jesus, the highest human manifestation of spiritual innocence and purity ever to walk the earth.
If the Ten Commandments constitute the essence of divine law, and obedience to this law reveals the innocence of man, why do we also need to turn to the teachings of Christ Jesus in order to enjoy spiritual healing and regeneration? Because violation of the law brings its own punishment. However, Jesus' teachings - to which Christian Science fully adheres - do not pursue the punishment of the individual, but his regeneration. This regeneration cancels suffering or penalty.
Part of Mrs. Eddy's definition of ''Moses,'' in its spiritual meaning, in the Glossary of Science and Health, is, ''A type of moral law and the demonstration thereof; the proof that, without the gospel, - the union of justice and affection, - there is something spiritually lacking, since justice demands penalties under the law'' (p. 592).
You may remember that in working with the inmates at the penitentiary, it was only when I allowed the loving, compassionate nature of the gospel - which presents man as innocent - to govern my feelings about them that I was able to share the healing message of Christian Science and be of some help. The need wasn't to analyze personalities, materialistic behavior, and aberrations of conduct. The need was to exercise Christian compassion, accepting the basic, innate innocence of man as a starting point.
It's interesting to see signs of this compassionate Christianity in our society today. A new trend in prison reform is to seek to regenerate the individual through more loving, intelligent treatment.
Every time we are confronted by inharmony, by questionable behavior, we can resort to the law of divine Love. This law declares man the child of God. It's at the heart of Christ Jesus' message of salvation.
In healings related in the New Testament we find a loving look, tender affection, sweet patience, which impelled individuals to fulfill the Mosaic law. This, in turn, would open the door to freedom from the suffering imposed by disobedience.
Once the scribes and Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman caught committing adultery. As unbending adherents of the Mosaic law, they believed they had the right to stone her. But could the gospel Christ Jesus was bringing from divine Love include the spilling of blood? Compassion and mercy lead the way to reform. So, first he dealt with the accusers, letting them know that no human being is in a position to condemn another. His historic words are still valid for us all: ''He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her'' (John 8: 7). Obedience and compassion linked
What was the result? They all left the woman alone. There was no more self-justification for committing a crime, not even in the name of law. Then Jesus turned to the woman and told her that he didn't condemn her either. His final words to her were, ''Go, and sin no more'' (John 8:11). The admonition was an emphatic, authoritative reminder of the need for obeying the Mosaic law, ''Thou shalt not commit adultery'' (Ex. 20:14). Jesus' words may have implied: Show your purity to the world, your complete repentance and redemption, your firm resolution to be led by wisdom in gaining dominion over passions and temptations.
The compassionate nature of the gospel - the good tidings of salvation for the human race - was also expressed in this story in that the people were protected from becoming debtors to the commandment ''Thou shalt not kill'' (Ex. 20:13).
Here we have a case illustrating how important it is not to contemplate human personality but to discern the real individuality of man - the innocence of his real being. The gospel doesn't teach us to condone sin. However, because all of us in our real being are innocent, we all deserve the same compassion, a compassion that redeems, that enables us to cherish the law of divine Love.
This compassion of the Christ that Jesus expressed is what awakens in us a spiritual vocation, a supreme love for the divine law and the gospel. In the words of Mrs. Eddy: ''Christian Science demands both law and gospel, in order to demonstrate healing, and I have taught them both in its demonstration, and with signs following. They are a unit in restoring the equipoise of mind and body, and balancing man's account with his Maker. The sequence proves that strict adherence to one is inadequate to compensate for the absence of the other, since both constitute the divine law of healing'' (''Miscellaneous Writings,'' p. 65).
Now the question comes: If obedience to the law found in the Old Testament and the compassionate nature of the gospel found in the New Testament is enough to produce healing and regeneration, why do we need Christian Science? Because Mrs. Eddy's discovery makes this coincidence of the law and the gospel practical and demonstrable today. Christian Science makes God's healing truth accessible to the human race in fulfillment of Jesus' promise, ''I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever'' (John 14:16).
In discovering Christian Science Mrs. Eddy fulfilled the Master's promise. She also called her discovery ''the Christ Science or divine laws of Life, Truth , and Love'' (Science and Health, p. 107).
If we're seeking an understanding of this Science, of these divine laws of Truth and Love, we need to realize that Mrs. Eddy's discovery involved great personal sacrifice. Her role as Discoverer of Christian Science was marked not only by a deep love for God and man but by profound spirituality, which made her and the Science she discovered the prime target for the carnal mind's attacks.
She was a strict adherent of the Mosaic law - the Ten Commandments. But she also adhered to Jesus' teachings found in the Gospels. Her spiritual perception and practice of both law and gospel gave her a remarkable healing ability. A case of insanity healed
Very often Mrs. Eddy had to take a firm stand to protect her spiritual vision. But her determination, born of an understanding of Principle, God, was balanced by her deep compassion for all. She saw that man, in truth, is innocent , the child of God.
There are numerous instances in her life in which this love, this Christian compassion, was expressed in the healing of others. In ''Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy,'' Irving C. Tomlinson tells us that once Mrs. Eddy was sitting alone when suddenly the door opened and ''an escaped maniac dashed into the room.'' Mr. Tomlinson continues: ''For a moment he met her quiet, fearless gaze with a wild glare, then he fiercely seized a chair to hurl at her head. She spoke to him compassionately and he dropped the chair, approached her, and pointing upward, exclaimed, 'Are you from there?' ''
Mrs. Eddy was praying earnestly. After a short time the man said, ''That terrible weight has gone off the top of my head.'' And, Mr. Tomlinson concludes: ''When he left her he was in his right mind. Later this man made a special visit to Mrs. Eddy to thank her for his healing'' (Tomlinson, pp. 49, 50).
This incident reminds me of our need to speak compassionately in obedience to the gospel of divine Love. Then we'll feel the presence of the Comforter and its healing effects.
The tenderness of the gospel makes the Comforter accessible to mankind. It brings hope to those who are longing for spiritual freedom. The Comforter brings a taste of heaven to our daily lives. As Mrs. Eddy says in one of her poems (''Poems,'' p. 7): And life most sweet, as heart to heart Speaks kindly when we meet and part.
Though the healing of a moral issue and the healing of a physical problem in Christian Science are based on the operation of the same divine Principle in human consciousness, the primary error needing correction in each case may differ.
One who thinks there is satisfaction in becoming the slave of a passion or the instrument of vice needs repentance. He needs to repent for breaking the universal divine law, which demands that we worship no other God, no other Mind, no other Love, but infinite Spirit. ''Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'' (Matt. 3:2), John the Baptist preached.
One who looks at the body to determine health needs to be healed of the belief that health is a quality of matter. And this is just a belief, not truth. Through the purification of our motives and desires we become beneficiaries of the divine law of health. The Bible admonishes us, ''We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord'' (II Cor. 5:8). Living in accord with this admonition preserves and restores health.
Obedience to the law and gospel requires understanding that suffering and illness are unnatural. Nothing physical can be law, because all true law stems from God, who is Spirit and All. Man is ruled by divine Mind, not by matter. Diesease not incurable
In following our Master, Christ Jesus, we're law-abiding citizens in social, political, economic, and civil matters, giving to Caesar what is Caesar's. We're also law-abiding in that we recognize that our entire being is governed by the law of eternal Love. This law enabled Jesus to heal blindness and cure the lame, contrary to what the material senses were reporting. This law of Love is still available to us for the enjoyment of spiritual healing.
Years ago a very dear member of my family came home from the doctor's office in a terrible state of despression. She was weeping because the doctor had diagnosed an incurable disease. His words to his patient were, ''Madam, you've come too late.''
This woman had earlier been given a copy of Science and Health and was determined to prove to the world and to herself what she had always believed: that God, divine Love, is the only authority, the only Judge, the only lawgiver. During three months she devoted her energies to annulling and rejecting that prediction of suffering and immediate extinction.
She regained first her confidence in the availablity of the divine law of Love, then her joy. She expelled from her thought the pictures of suffering and disease, which she realized were not laws.
In three months she had a much clearer view of her spiritual identity, her innocence and purity, her unity with divine Love. The effect of her adherence to God's law was physical healing. Then she was able to help others, including me, to find healing and regeneration through obedience to the law and gospel.
As you can see, obedience to divine law - to the first commandment - brings justice, freedom, health, and redemption. Mrs. Eddy writes: ''The divine Principle of the First Commandment bases the Science of being, by which man demonstrates health, holiness, and life eternal. One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations; constitutes the brotherhood of man; ends wars, fulfils the Scripture, 'Love they neighbor as thyself;' annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry, - whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on man, and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed'' (Science and Health, p. 340).
The divine law demands our obedience to Spirit, God - but it protects also. The gospel requires us to be Christlike - but the result is the destruction of suffering and punishment and the proof of our innocence as children of God. Metaphysical healing as taught in Christian Science is based on this law and on this gospel. It is available to you and to me and to all, right now.

Too many magazines or not enough genealogists?
In the US and Canada, with a total population of 345 million, the newstand genealogy magazines are Family Tree, Family Chronicle and Internet Genealogy. One magazine closed within the past year and nothing new has come on the market. That's one magazine per 115 million people.
Why the roughly 10:1 ratio with much less choice in newstand genealogy magazines in North America than the UK? It can't all be due to better marketing, can it? Is there scope for further newstand magazines in North America. Or can we expect further contraction in the UK market.

This is a good question. I've been following the phenomenom in the UK closely. WDYTYA? has taken off more quickly in the UK than in the US. But it's early yet. We might see more momentum when the second season starts. Either way we've had a real decline in the popularity of genealogy magazines here in the US. Perhaps it's not an indication of the readership but of the advertisers. US gen publications have a fleeting number of advertisements each issue. Maybe the advertisers are seeking alternatives in other media. Without the advertisers the magazines can't survive even with subscribers.

Working off of Marian's great comments - here in the US, I think more and more users are turning to online magazines, e-readers and the like for information they would get from magazines.
Is there room for more genealogy and family history magazines in the US/Canada market? I think so. But I predict they won't appear in the conventional print and paper mode but online.

I'm not so sure there has been a contraction in the market in the UK. The long running titles Practical Family History and Ancestors have both ceased publication in the last year, that is true, but Your Family History has just started up recently, and the new online titles Discover my Past England (a year old) and Discover my Past Scotland (2 years old) from Brightsolid are both going strong. The number of titles does not necessarily correlate to active subscribers - in fact, I suspect that once one magazine goes down others will see an increase in numbers turning to their product.
Also, as Thomas announced a few days ago, the parent company of WDYTYA magazine, BBC Magazines Bristol, has in fact just taken a majority share of the Live venture at Olympia next Feb, and will be managing the next event - not bad considering a few months ago BBC Magazines looked like it was getting the chop from the Beeb!

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - Sophomore Deke Hu and freshman Rastislav Racz tallied four victories apiece at the Cardinal Invitational this past weekend, which was hosted by Wesleyan University. The Engineers were impressive on day one, taking the top spot in seven of 15 events, but did not factor in to the final results, as the squad didn't compete on the second day.
Also competing in the invitational were Wesleyan, Brandeis University and Keene State College.
Hu was a part of all three of Tech's relay wins. He teamed with Jeremy Chang, Luke Cummings and Racz for first-place finishes in both the 200-yard medley relay (1:40.21) and the 400-yard medley relay (3:39.14). In addition, the Casa Grande, Calif. native was part of the 800-yard freestyle relay team along with Kalvin Kao, Udit Garg and Peter Wellings which touched the wall with a winning time of 7:23.45. He also swam to individual victory in the 100-yard butterfly (54.10).
In addition to his two relay victories, Racz clocked in first-place finishes in both the 50-yard breaststroke (27.04) and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:00.55).
Kao, a junior from Santa Monica, Calif., picked up MIT's final victory in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:01.15.
Tech returns to the pool on Saturday, Dec. 9, when it hosts New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference rival Wheaton College in a meet that will begin at 1:00 p.m.

My Dad called me (before I'd even heard) to let us know that he and my Mom were alright, but that they'd just passed over the bridge on their way home to Stanwood just 20 minutes before it happened.
Is anyone here from that area or know someone, family or friends who are? I'm very thankful that no one was killed or seriously injured in this accident, and my best wishes go out to anyone who is affected by it or the aftereffects (long detours, super-congestion, etc.).
I'm also very grateful since it easily could've been way worse.
It's just insane that this could happen on I5, the main arterial of the West Coast!

Dinner Tonight: Pan-Seared Flank Steak with Shiitake Mushrooms and Pumpkin Seed Sauce
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Guide to Steak
All the methods and tips you need to make perfect steak, each and every time.
Whenever I'm looking for a side dish to pair with steak, my mind tends to gravitate toward mushrooms, since the two are such a fantastic pair. The only problem is a visual one: both are brown, making for a monochromatic dish. Steakhouses solve this problem by adding a completely unnecessary sprig of parsley, but I decided to go all in and add as much green as possible. That's how I ended up with the idea of a pesto.
Well, at least for a while. The sauce started out as a chunky, oily pesto, albeit one made with pumpkin seeds and cilantro instead of pine nuts and basil. But I also wanted it to have some zing, so I squeezed some lime juice in. Turns out, the more lime juice I added in the more I liked it, making this more like a salsa than anything else (without any chilies, of course). Since the pumpkin seeds are toasted first, they have a smoky, roasted aroma, which is cut by the freshness of the cilantro and lime. It's great stuff.
Because the sauce is so flavorful, I didn't want to do anything to the steak except season it well and cook it to medium-rare. While grilling would be a fantastic option for the summer, that's not a convenient weekday option for me. Instead, I just cooked it in my heavy cast-iron skillet for about eight minutes. Just remember to slice the flank steak against the grain.
I took the same approach with the mushrooms, simply tossing them in the skillet once the steak was done. Once they release their water, you can scrape up any browned bits leftover from the steak, so the 'shrooms come out meaty, smoky, and tender.

It's not every day that I'm impressed by the "latest and greatest" technology, but the Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard for iPad & iPhone is really impressive. This tiny device "laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface…accompanied by simulated key click sounds."
The product connects wirelessly via bluetooth to iPhone, iPad, many Smartphones and most Laptops, it also has a "mouse mode" which allows you to use your finger as a mouse rather than typing (when using with a laptop) and the rechargeable battery lasts for 150 minutes of continuous typing! The Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard charges via USB and requires no drivers to install.
You can purchase the Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard over at ThinkGeek.

[Illinois] CMMB IGERT & M-CNTC Annual Symposium: Detection of Mass, Growth Rate, and Stiffness of Single Adherent Cells
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Recently, improved MEMS resonator sensors were developed at Illinois. These can be used to directly measure the biophysical properties, mass, and growth rate of single adherent cells. Decoupling the relationship between the cell's dynamics and the apparent mass reported by the sensor is vital. Hydrogels with tunable stiffness and mass are used to achieve higher understanding of the measurement system.
In this video, Elise discusses this project and the associated technology. She discusses the challenges of using this technology in an array to sense biophysical properties of cells, as well as the opportunities provided for those studies. She also discusses the future plans for the research including studying the change in neuronal mass through the cell cycle.
Elise Corbin is originally from the Philadelphia area. She received her B.S. in engineering science at the Pennsylvania State University in 2007. During her undergraduate career she was a research assistant for both the Fuel Cell Dynamics and Diagnostics Lab and the Applied Research Lab, supervised by Dr. Matthew Mench. At the University of Illinois she joined the Nanoscale Thermal Processing Lab directed by Dr. William P. King. She received her M.S. in mechanical engineering in 2009, and her thesis was, "Substrate Dependance, Temperature Dependance, and Temperature Sensitivity and Resolution of Doped-Silicon Microcantilevers." Her research interests include bio-sensing on the nano-scale and together with her co-advisor Dr. Rashid Bashir she will be continuing toward her Ph.D. working on cell mass sensing techniques and devices.

Midwest Cancer Nanotechnology Traning Center (M-CNTC) Training the next generation of leaders who will define the new frontiers and applications of nanotechnology in cancer research It is known that more than 1.5 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer during 2010, and half a million have died (Cancer Statistics 2010, ACS). In spite of considerable effort, there has been limited success in reducing per capita deaths from cancer since 1950. This calls for a paradigm shift in the understanding, detection, and intervention of the evolution of cancer from a single cell to tumor scale.
In response to this challenge the M-CNTC has assembled a preeminent interdisciplinary team of researchers and educators across the University of Illinois and clinical collaborators in the Midwest to train the next generation of engineers, physical scientists, and biologists to address the challenge of understanding, managing, diagnosing, and treating cancer using the most recent advancements in nanotechnology.
Cellular and Molecular Mechanics and Bionanotechnology (CMMB-IGERT) Training the next generation of leaders who will define the new frontiers of cellular and molecular mechanics and bionanotechnology Critical experiments during the last decade show a fundamental link between the micro- and macro-mechanical environment (i.e., intracellular forces, local shear, gravitational force) and a variety of cell functionalities, their lineage, and phenotype. These findings pose the grand challenge: what is the underlying molecular mechanism that cells employ to transduce mechanical signals to biochemical pathways?
In response to this challenge the CMMB IGERT launched an interdisciplinary research effort with national and international collaborators.

My little Razy is growing up way to fast. She is 6!! When did she get to be 6? She is such a little girly girl. She does like to play sports, get dirty, catch snakes, and rough house. However, she also loves to dance, sing, dress up, and get fancy. This year she started dance classes and it was perfect timing to do the much awaited ballerina party.
Her cake was six 6" rounds filled with vanilla cream cheese and strawberry filling. Covered in fluffy american buttercream and topped with marshmallow fondant. The skirt, slippers, and other embellishments were also marshmallow fondant.
I can't get over how so grown up she is getting. She really is becoming a little lady. But, she is still my oh so dang cute little Razy.
The little ballerina got to enjoy 3 parties this year. One with sundaes with our little family on her actual birthday, another with her big cake with extended family and really close friends, and this year she got to invite some friends over for a ballerina party.
As a thank you for coming to her party we made these adorable hand print tutus. These ones were Dimple's and Razy's. To find out how to make your own check it out on my other blog.

Enjoying the beauty, coolness and recreational fun of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River are summer traditions.
— Enjoying the beauty, coolness and recreational fun of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River are summer traditions.
The heavy rains during June have kept the Delaware River unusually high. These high river levels increase the dangers to boaters and river users.
The National Park Service issues a mandatory wearing of life jackets that goes into effect when the river is above six feet at the Barryville gauge. To obtain current river conditions including the river height go to the park's webpage at www.nps.gov/upde or call the River Hotline at 845-252-7100. The River Hotline is updated each morning throughout the summer season.
Park Rangers strongly encourage all river users to wear a life jacket. The river claims an average of two drowning victims per year, yet there has never been a drowning of someone who is wearing a properly fitted life jacket.
The heat and summer sun are natural invitations to go into the river. As we enter into the busiest part of our boating season the National Park Service reminds visitors of basic water safety tips to keep everyone safe while enjoying the river.
Respect the river by doing the following:
• Always wear a properly fitted life jacket
• Never swim alone
• Never attempt to swim across the river
• Beware of currents, drop offs, and submerged obstacles
More than 50 percent of the drowning victims are swimmers (not boaters). Public accesses, campgrounds and many other areas display warning signs. These signs often go unnoticed as visitors pursue the pleasure of cooling off in the river.
But the scenic Delaware River's placid appearance is deceiving, there are powerful currents that can wear down and sweep away experienced and strong swimmers. Never fight the flow — go with the current making your way to one shore or the other.
Thousands of people enjoy the Upper Delaware River each year. For your own safety please respect the power and flow of the river currents.

For most people, the term "estate planning" is not part of their everyday vocabulary, but for Tari Popp that phrase is at the core of her job as the newly-appointed director of Planned Giving and Trust Services. Popp served as acting director since June 2004. She has worked in the Trust Services department in some capacity for almost 24 years.
After receiving her BS in accounting from Andrews in 1981, Popp, a native of Seattle, Wash., began working in the Andrews financial records department. Over the next 11 years, Popp handled much of the accounting work for the Trust Services program. She received denominational trust officer certification in 1988. In 1992, Popp officially began working in the Planned Giving and Trust Services department as trust accountant. In 2000, she accepted the position of trust administration officer before taking the position as acting director in 2004.
Popp's position consists mainly of overseeing and assisting trustors with their estate plans and deferred gifts to Andrews. While most people are not familiar with the nature of her job, Popp sees it as a real ministry to the community. "Over 60 percent of our trustors come from the Berrien Springs community," says Popp. "We have the opportunity to both build and maintain relationships with trustors." Popp enjoys developing relationships with people who are excited about helping Andrews University. "Every person we work with has a totally different story," says Popp. "They really want to help educate the future leaders of the church."

Justin Timberlake denies slamming Britney Spears at comeback show
The star returned to the stage to perform for the first time in five years on the eve of the American football championships showpiece event in New Orleans, Lousiana on Saturday (02Feb13).
He treated fans to a string of his greatest hits, including Cry Me A River, the track he allegedly penned in the wake of his split from Spears in 2002.
Before launching into the song, Timberlake told the crowd, "Sometimes in life, you think you found the one. But then one day you find out that she is just some b**ch!"
The comment sparked outrage among Spears' fans on Twitter.com, with many followers taking aim at Timberlake over his quip.
The star decided to quell the anger by taking to the social networking website to deny his remark was aimed at the pop star, writing, "Ok. I see you. Wouldn't disrespect ANYONE personally. Ever. Relax..."

For the most part it really only contains software updates the the core and some additional packages, as well as updated programs, slightly better program integration (and a few more graphical tools that were once only command line).
There are a few new features that Thom already pointed out, but this is mostly an update or polish release. Think of is as SP3 for windows xp.
This is a great little OS is you have a spare laptop and want a machine that works kind of like windows, runs all your old DOS stuff, runs even new things like Open Office and VLC, and never gets viruses. I love it personally, it's a great light weight OS that is good daily use for general users. As a power user OS, well, it does show it's age a bit, but it still has a wealth of modern applications.

THL Toolbox > Places & Geography > Tourism Documentation of Places
Tourism Documentation of Places
Contributor(s): David Germano
THL is centrally committed to documenting Tibetan places in their cultural and national dimensions, and in their historical and contemporary character. This research includes essays, databases, maps, images, audio-video recording, and more. The results of this documentation are primarily disseminated through two portals – the Tibetan and Himalayan Historical & Cultural Geography (http://thlib.org/places/culturalgeography/) targeted for a more academic audience and the Tibetan Geotourism Portal (http://thlib.org/geotourstibet/index.php) intended for a broader audience.
The Tibetan Geotourism Portal in particular is intended serve tourists, tourism professionals, and Tibetan local community residents with the goal of promoting and facilitating tourism in Tibet that is centered around a deep understanding of Tibetan culture and environment, and supports the empowerment of local residents and the protection of the integrity of local culture and ecology. It should be stressed that this Portal is first and foremost an initiative grounded in ethical concerns about the integrity of the tourism process in relationship to the importance of benefit to local residents, and the importance of knowledge and understanding as a basis for encounters and exchanges between tourists and local residents. In this, it can be differentiated from primarily commercial initiatives that are geared towards generating a profit either out of the lucrative publishing industry, or specific institutions such as hotels, restaurants, theme parks, and the like.
In terms of tourists, the portal hopes to provide basic information about the logistics of tourism, Tibetan places, Tibetan culture and Tibetan environment along the lines that standard tour books such as Lonely Planet provide. However, in addition, we are trying to make the information about places, culture and environment far more rich, accurate, and nuanced, as well as include much more extensive self-representation by local Tibetans throughout. This is accomplished first by mobilizing academic researchers, teachers and students either directly, or indirectly through repurposing their academic work. Thus all of the academic research, images, audio-video, and other resources generated for THL's Cultural Geography will be automatically also exposed to uses through the Geotourism portal. Second, we aim to incorporate the submission of resources from individuals across all social and professional sectors, not just professionals and not just academics. Third, the work is integrated with initiatives aimed at the participatory self-documentation of Tibetan perspectives, cultural traditions, communities, histories, and local ecologies using modern technologies. The Portal thus aims to create a distributed network for the production of knowledge on a broad scale that includes a distributed system for the flexible, modular and dynamic dissemination of such knowledge and resources in ways that are socially beneficial to local Tibetan communities.
Documentation of Specific Places in relationship to Tourism
The Geotourism project documents Tibetan places, their natural features, communities, and cultural traditions with the aim of promoting forms of tourism that more fully involve local communities, as well as maximizing benefit to those communities. Geotourism is a widely used term used to signify such forms of tourism, which could also be called community tourism, engaged tourism, fair-trade tourism, or other labels. Geotourism contributions involve the same basic elements of the other place projects – Place Dictionary entries, Encyclopedia descriptions, maps, images, audio-video recordings and the like – but also adds structured descriptions of places with an eye towards tourists.
However, the documentation of places in relation to tourism is different in character from the academic documentation of places. Firstly, the general tone of writing needs to be more accessible and less intellectual in character; secondly, tourism facilities and access to a given place are a central part of the documentation; and thirdly, documentation needs to take into account ways in which the tourism process can be more beneficial and less harmful to the local communities being visited.
Our presentation presents each place in terms of seven tabbed sections: Facts, Sites, Resources, Activities, Accommodations, Info,Nearby. None of them expand out with suboptions - they are just buttons. The rest have table of contents on their pages for whatever other multiple items are. Down the road, these might be changed into an accordion right hand nav. If possible, provide pictures in each section. An iconic picture on the top of section works well, though pictures it is fine to put pictures wherever it is fitting and informative:
- Place facts: the basic descriptive information. on the site. This should be generated by the Wiki. Perhaps Eventually should be dealt with by Place Dictionary relying upon as yet to be build Place Dictionary Tourism Module. It includes the Place Dictionary entry. It should also link to an Introductory Synthetic Essay generated by the Wiki. Perhaps eventually could be dealt with by Place Dictionary relying upon as yet to be built Place Dictionary Tourism Module.
- Local Sites: details sites within the overall site. For now must be handled by Wiki, but should be handled by the Place Dictionary application.
- Featured Resources: slide shows, audioo-video recordings, thematic essays, maps, etc. For now must be handled by Wiki, but should be handled by the Place Dictionary application. Could make these a list with standard icons (for images, etc.) and title, and then if you choose, you get a lightbox popup window.
- Activities: various activities for a tourist.
- Accommodations: hotels, home lodges, etc. Textually expressed logistical information. This should be generated by the Wiki. Perhaps eventually could be dealt with by Place Dictionary relying upon as yet to be build Tourism Module.
- Tourism Information: textually expressed logistical information. This should be generated by the Wiki. Hopefully very soon we enter these Hotels into the Place Dictionary even without the yet to be built Tourism Module or possible Hotel Module. Detail can go in the Place Dictionary Description field. Later we might have a right hand nav column to navigate to the various categories. That would require us to make a process that converts Wiki subheaders into menu items and specify the set way to mark headers (like all h3, etc.)
- Nearby Sites: details sites nearby the site in question. For now must be handled by Wiki, but should be handled by the Place Dictionary application by using the "feature relationship" and specifying that the specified sites are "nearby" to the site in question you are relating them to.
Place Dictionary Entry
The first step is to create Place Dictionary entries, if they do not already exist. For detailed instructions on creating Place Dictionary entries, see THL Place Dictionary Editorial Manual. If entries already exist, you may still want to add a "description" which is oriented towards tourism, even if there is already a "general" description. We would make special note of the use of the standard entry for the following aspects:
- Use the "place relationships" to document "Local Sites" (relation=contained) and "Nearby Sites" (relation=near by (which is different than "adjacent")).
- Add a "tourist-focused" description into the standard description field but typed as "tourist description"
Specialized Tourism Module
The second step is to create more specialized materials on the place in question with a focus on tourism. We are now in the process of making a specialized extension of the Place Dictionary that will provide an online template for entering rich descriptive data that is keyed to the tourism, but it is not yet completed. This will consist chiefly of a series of logistical categories that an editor can choose from to add if relevant to the place in question. Thus if you want to describe "banking" in a city, you add a "banking" element and fill it out. We also need to take into account when you might want to just defer a category to a larger feature that contains the feature in question.
The full list of categories:
- Accommodations (Lodging, Places to Stay – Budget, Mid-Ranges, Top End): This makes synthetic comments about lodgings available in the region. If there is also a detailed hotel by hotel survey, then those are maintained in the Place Dictionary and a button here should allow users to request to see all the hotels contained in the present site.
- Activities:
- Area:
- Changing Money:
- Email & Internet Access:
- Embassies & Consulate:
- Entertainment: bars, gay/lesbian bars, discos and clubs, live music, cinema,
- Food & Drink (Places to Eat): Vegetarian.
- Getting Around (Transportation): to/from airport sub way, taxi, bicycle
- Getting Information:
- Getting There & Away: bus, train
- Health care:
- Highlights:
- History:
- Information:
- Libraries /Information Centers:
- Medical Services:
- Money: Banks, ATMs:
- Museum & Galleries:
- Newspapers & Magazines:
- On your bike:
- Organized tours:
- Orientation: spatial
- Population:
- Post & Communications: Telephone code, cell phone coverage
- Seasonal Events:
- Shopping: books, department stores, miscellaneous
- Tourist Offices:
- Travel agencies:
- Weather (climate):
- Where to go next:
Hotels & Stores
Documenting hotels, restaurants, and stores is one of the most difficult aspects of documenting a place because of both their great number and their tendency to go in and out of business rapidly. We are at present considering whether we should design specialized extensions for the Place Dictionary for each. We might begin by simply making basic Place Dictionary entries that have the descriptive data in the "description" field, and then specify "feature type=hotel". Then we can present a query to the Place Dictionary that says "give me all Place Dictionary entries that have type=hotel, and are contained by Place X". Then the link to Accommodations for a place can just be that query which returns those search results. We will index the photos in the Media Management system and use the Place Dictionary ID for the relevant hotel to index the photos within the MMS as being located at that hotel.
A Place Dictionary Hotel extension would havehave structured fields corresponding to the attributes we are tracking for each hotel (beds, etc.). Then we will have to take previously entered descriptions from the Place Dictionary and parse the information into those structured fields.
The Creation of General Tourism Information
If the portal is to function as a single stop that is sufficient for a given tourist's needs, it must offer basic information that one would expect from a tour book. This includes logistical information (travel, banking, health, etc.), information on the places and features within those places, and then general cultural, historical and others types of background on these Tibetan areas. This is an imposing challenge given the non-profit nature of the initiative, and the vast extent of the necessary information for such a resource to be comprehensive and useful.
We are beginning with a systematic review of extant tour books and Web sites focused on Tibet tourism. These are not scholarly works on tourism per se, but rather books and Web sites that provide information and resources oriented towards tourists:
- Create an exhaustive list of such tour books, creating proper bibliographical entries including extent (how many pages), and putting that in a standard THL Bibliographical Excel spreadsheet
- Write a simple analysis of the each book's scope (is it focused on one region of Tibet? one type of tourist? etc.), and quality (is it out dated? are the maps poor? etc.)
The end result of this is an annotated and classified bibliography that provides tourists a way to follow up on their interests. However, ultimately , such a bibliography could cover the entire field of Tibetan Studies publications, so the following is a guide to the scope we are currently focused on (given in order of importance):
- Tour Guide books intended to be used as manuals for tourists while preparing for a trip, and while traveling
- Popular accounts of travel that are likely to be of interest to tourists
- Popular accounts of Tibetan culture, places and environment likely to be of interest to tourists
- A select range of attractive and interesting picture books of interest to tourists
The most important are by far the tour guide books. In documenting these, its important to make sure you are working with the most recent versions, since obviously tour guide books are often periodically updated.
The tour guide books then need to be analyzed in great detail. We want to document how many chapters a given book has, how those chapters are organized in terms of subject matter, the chapters' internal structures, and so forth. In addition, we want to document all topics covered formally within the book, including notes on what looks particularly useful.
Those structural analyses of the tour books, along with the actual content, will be used extensively then for us to do two initial tasks towards generating our preliminary "tourism information". This has four broad categories:
- logistical information (banking, ordering food, buying tickets, etc.)
- cultural and environmental information (history, cultural practices, flora and fauna, etc.)
- logistical information on places (the location of hotels, restaurants, etc.)
- cultural information on places (famous sites, history, etc.)
Using the structural analyses of the relevant tour guide books - which are surely under forty overall - reviewers should analyze the books for these four types of data. The books are helpful in determining the types of data that should be documented, how that data is organized, and then the actual data. It is illegal to simply copy text out of these books, so it is essential that reviewers only use the books as sources, but write in their own words.
1. Logistical Information: We are looking initially for a comprehensive draft. Thus, having analyzed the short list of tour guide books, we want a complete list of all topics. Then a given person should take on a specific topic, and synthesize all treatments from the available literature. At that point, the topic will be passed on to people with specialized information on that topic based upon extensive travels in Tibet, and they will use it as a starting point to write a final version.
2. Cultural and environmental information: We are looking initially only for a complete list of all topics, and then notes on where they are discussed in the various books, as well as short notes on which discussions seem the best or anything distinctive about them (such as how they are structured, or have maps, or photos, or whatever).
3. Logistical information on places: This is not something we are working on in this context. The structural analysis of the book should be clear where such information is in the books for later review.
4. Cultural information on places: This is not something we are working on in this context. The structural analysis of the book should be clear where such information is in the books for later review.
Basic Wiki Page Gudelines
Use headers properly - the top breadcrumbs is h6, the page title is h1, the sections are h2, subsections within sections are h3, sub-subsections within subsections are h4, and so on. Please do not put bold face on headers – the headers are automatically formatted as they should appear.
In breadcrumbs, please make sure to put brackets [ ] around each breadcrumb, or they won't be hyperlinked. Only the last item – the name of the current page – is not in brackets. Also if you are cutting and pasting the breadcrumbs, watch our for things being incorrectly upper case – for example, "for," "the," etc. should be lower case.
Because the list of Contributors might get quite long, please place it at the bottom of the page with a h6 header that says "Contributors to this Page". Put names in alphabetical order according to last name.
If subtopics fit nicely on a single page, don't make new wiki pages. As a rule, avoid making new wiki pages for short descriptions. It will just frustrate users who have to click to a new page for a small bit of text.
Try to personalize it by using "you" as much as possible, rather than "he" or "she".
Please take a moment to edit your work to check for spelling mistakes, grammar problems, missing commas, and so forth.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital continues to save lives, and many in Blue Springs are working to help the famed hospital.
"It's a hospital built in Memphis, but it's a hospital without walls," said City Council Member Dale Carter. He was among those outlining the hospital's work and efforts to raise $750,000 for it this fall, speaking during Thursday's Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
The research hospital typically treats children with cancer and other deadly diseases. More than 40 active patients live in greater Kansas City.
The hospital was founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, a big star in the early days of TV, notably "Make Room for Daddy." His daughter, Marlo Thomas, also a TV star in her day (she was "That Girl" in the '60s), carries on with work to promote St. Jude.
At the time the hospital was founded, the survival rate for children with cancer was 20 percent. Today it's 80 percent, Kasner said, adding that the goal is "not only treating those children but giving them leading research."
One local parent, Liz Birkenmaier, told the story of her daughter.
Shortly after her first birthday, Hannah began to stumble. Doctors treated it as an ear infection. But things got worse. She would get dizzy a lot, and she reverted to crawling. Doctors kept focusing on the ear and prescribing antibiotics.
At her 18-month checkup, the pediatrician immediately realized something was wrong and ordered X-rays. It was an aggressive tumor, the size of a tennis ball, in her head. Doctors removed it, but they also said it would come back and work its way down the spine. The chemo and radiation available for children at the time wouldn't be enough.
Meanwhile, Birkenmaier lost her job and insurance. The family had been given a list of hospitals around the country that might help. But, one after another, no luck.
Then a relative suggested St. Jude. Doctors there had a solution: tightly targeted radiation every day for two months, then physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.
"St. Jude wants the whole child whole," Birkenmaier said.
And there was no cost. The hospital covers care, transportation and housing for families. During this ordeal, Birkenmaier was carrying another baby and had to take care of herself as well. The hospital helped.
"They took care of us like no other hospital I have ever known," she said.
Today, Hannah's checkups at the hospital are once a year. Her mom says she likes to sew. She ran track this spring at Sunny Vale Middle School, and she's at the Freshman Center this fall.
"We never paid a dime for anything," Birkenmaier said. "It's the best place you can give your money to."
Those efforts are underway all the time. Jacquie Kasner, event marketing representative for St. Jude and an affiliated fundraising group, said the hospital's costs work out to $1.9 million a day.
Among the major fundraisers is the dream house program, and there is one in Blue Springs this year.
Here's how it works: A new $525,000 home is being raffled off. Tickets are $100 each, and the aim is to sell 7,500 tickets, raising $750,000. There are other prizes, including several $1,000 gift cards. Kasner said those buying a ticket have a one-in-500 chance of winning something.
The house overlooks the 40-acre lake at The Shores at Chapman Farms in south Blue Springs. It has six bedrooms, five and half baths, a wet bar and a covered patio with a fire pit.
"They are dream homes," Kasner said.
It will be open for public tours starting next month and will be on the Kansas City Parade of Homes. The home is to be given away Oct. 12. Go to dreamhome.org for more information.
Nationwide, St. Jude has more than 30 dream homes a year. This one is a little different. Summit Custom Homes of Lee's Summit built the home, and, working with its suppliers and subcontractors, is delivering it to St. Jude at no cost.
"There's not many people like that out there," Kasner said.
Council Member Carter, who also is a longtime morning personality on Country 94.1 KFKF, has been involved with St. Jude for years, including an annual telethon at the radio station. He said since 1995, the station and the dream homes in Kansas City have raised $11 million for St. Jude. He said he'd like to see a couple more dream homes in Blue Springs.
There are other fundraisers, too. The Back Yard Burgers restaurants in Blue Springs, Independence and Lee's Summit had a recent drive in which customers made donations, raising $7,550.
"So it really does add up and make a difference," Kasner said.

DC Group Thanks Pat and Chris Whiteby Tom Runge • February 23, 2013 Share:
Jane and Greg Castanias '87 opened their beautiful Virginia home to the National Capital Association of Wabash Men and provided a superb evening to honor President Pat and Chris White for their service to Wabash College and the greater Crawfordsville community.
Following a toast to the Whites by Greg Castanias, Pat White began by complimenting Chris on her efforts for Wabash and for the Crawfordsville and Montgomery County communities. Chris has been at the forefront of several initiatives to improve medical services for those in need in the local community. She also has worked hard to bring new life to downtown Crawfordsville.
Pat gave an update on the college including the continued success of our young men in living the college's mission statement and changing the world. Pat also thanked the assembled alumni for the strong belief in Wabash and their efforts to make Wabash stronger and better.
In a bit of a surprise, Jane Castanias announced that it was also Greg's birthday. Immediately the group cranked up the Happy Birthday song. "Old Wabash" rounded out the singing for the evening.
Wabash was superbly represented at the Castanias home. In addition to Pat and Chris White from the college, the group welcomed a special guest for the evening, recently retired director of development Alison Kothe. Dean for Advancement Jonathan Stern and Associate Director of Admissions for New Market Development Kim King '99 rounded out the guests from the College.
Many thanks to Jane and Greg for all they do for Wabash and for her young men.

MAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) – Police say a pair of New York teenagers forced their 23-month-old child to smoke marijuana.
The Chautauqua (shuh-TAW'-kwuh) County sheriff's office tells The Buffalo News (
http://bit.ly/18rNhgX) that the toddler's parents and grandfather allegedly helped or watched the toddler smoke marijuana from a lighted bowl on Dec. 5 in an apartment in western New York.
Authorities say 17-year-old Jessica Kelsey, 18-year-old George Kelsey and Jessica's 54-year-old father, Don Baker, were arraigned Friday on charges of second-degree reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child. They are being held in lieu of $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.
The toddler and another sibling are in the care of Child Protective Services.
No information on attorneys for the three was available.
