What you need to know before your membrane sweep
When you?re so pregnant and uncomfortable you can barely roll over in bed, you may not know what to think when your doctor or midwife suggests an even more uncomfortable procedure to hurry up labour: a stretch and sweep. Is it worth the additional pain and discomfort you might endure" Here?s what you need to know about what happens in the procedure, why it?s done and how you?ll feel both during and after. (The great news: It?s not as bad as you might think.)

Also referred to as a membrane sweep, a membrane stripping or simply a sweep, this technique involves gently lifting the amniotic sac?or fetal membrane?from the cervix and lower part of the uterus. Late in pregnancy, a doctor or midwife inserts a gloved finger through the cervical canal and uses a sweeping motion to separate the membrane from the cervix.

And do not, ever, under any circumstances, describe a game as "Very old" unless it dates from 1985 or earlier.
* Background: Where did you play it? When? Why do you remember it? What sticks out at you about it?
* System: Which system did you play it on? Jaguar? 32x? Windows XP? Window 3.1? Apple IIe? Megadrive? Genesis? Game Boy?
* Year: When did you play it?* You don't need to be specific, but the closer you can get, the better. While it'd be great if you could say that you know it came out in 1995, simply saying Mid 90s will work (If you remember). When in doubt, choose a wider scope (Say, Early to Mid-90s for a game that you think was new in '94) - *This is supposed to reflect when you think the game came out. If it was a NES game (Mid 80s to Early 90s life cycle) that you played in your college days (2005-2010).. then say "Somewhere in the NES life cycle" or something like that. Saying 2005-2010 is.. useless as it doesn't reflect when the game may have come out. And please.. please please please don't tell us how old you were. We have no idea how old you are now, so that's.. completely useless information. You may have been 11 in 2006, but I was 11 in 1991, and another user was 11 in 1974. Just tell us (as it is currently 2012) 6 years ago.
* Perspective: 3D? 2D? 2.5D? Isometric? Tile-based? First Person? Third Person? ... Second Person!?
* Art style: Cell shaded? Sprite-based? Foggy? Live Action? Particular special effects you remember? Any movie sequences you remember?
* Environment: What sort of places were you in? Times? What specific types of monsters did you fight? Bosses? Who was the protagonist? Any NPCs you remember? Dialog? Weapons? Remember dying a lot? What killed you?
* Mood: Was the game Dark or was it Hopeful? Was there an overwhelming sense of crushing despair, or was it a bright and happy candy land?
* Genre: Multiplayer? Shooter? Action? Adventure? RPG? Arcade? Puzzle-based? Strategy? RTS? Text adventure?
* Gameplay: Action? Turn-based? Did you have stats/levels? Remember any puzzles? What buttons did you press to control the protagonist? Was there a party of characters or a solo protagonist? Were you able to create a character and choose skills at the beginning, or were your skills pre-chosen (if any)? In short, How Did You Play The Game? What actions did you take?
For ease in Copy-Pasting, use this. Remember, try to answer all of the questions that you can, but not every game can actually answer every question. Tetris doesn't really have a mood. Zork doesn't have an art style. Progress Quest doesn't have gameplay... you get the idea.

900 year old bishop's palace found in a field
Dig taking place in Ancrum in the Scottish BordersRead the full story ›
Archaeological dig underway
An archaeological dig is underway that could uncover a lost Bishop's palace.
The dig in Ancrum in the Scottish Borders has long been believed to have been an important medieval site.
Now experts from Glasgow University are hoping to uncover a Bishop's Palace, or a stronghold of the crusading Knights of Malta. The work has been commissioned by Scottish Borders Council. Their archaeological officer said:
"One of Glasgow's bishops - Bishop de Bondington who was responsible for building Glasgow Cathedral - actually died in the village after dictating his last writ to the Pope.
"Ancrum, it seems, was at the very centre of medieval religion and politics until the Wars of Independence."
A map from the 1770s depicts a ruined building on the site, but every map thereafter shows a blank field.
Dr Bowles believes the ruins were most likely brought down around the turn of the 19th century to make way for agricultural improvement.
Search for a Bishops Palace in Scottish Borders
Archaeologists are looking for traces of a possible Bishops Palace near Ancrum in the Scottish Borders.
The field of Mantle Walls has long been suspected as the site of a major medieval building.
Local tradition suggests it was the probable site of a Bishop's Palace, dating back to the 12th or 13th centuries, when the medieval Bishopric of Glasgow extended into the Borders.
One of Glasgow's Bishops, Bishop de Bodington, who was responsible for building Glasgow Cathedral, died in Ancrum after dicatating his last writ to the Pope.
The village, it seems, was at the centre of medieval religion and politics until the Wars of Independence.

High prices mitigate low yields somewhat
Soybean harvest is in full swing, and it won't take long to finish, said Mike Thomas, Cooperative Grain and Supply branch manager in Marion. Full-season beans are almost all harvested, and double-crop beans — planted amid wheat stubble after harvest — will probably be harvested within a week.
Most bottom ground is producing yields between 20 and 30 bushels per acre, Thomas said. In a good year he would expect those fields to produce closer to 40 to 45 bushels per acre. The hot, dry summer obviously influenced yields, he said.
But unusually high prices for soybeans may mitigate the low yields somewhat, at least for farmers who have soybeans available to sell. The price was about $15 per bushel on Monday. Any price above $10 per bushel is uncommon.

Stanford's Anthony Brown, John Gage, Robbie Lemons and Chasson Randle have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court.
The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents of student-athletes off the court, and the hard work they exhibit in the classroom. In order to be named to the Honors Court, a student-athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria. The qualifications are as follows:
(2) Cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year.
(3) Students must have matriculated at least one year at their current institution.
(4) Member of an NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Institution.
The annual academic recognition has become a program staple during head coach Johnny Dawkins' tenure, as five players received NABC Honors Court accolades during the 2012-13 campaign. Also, in March, Stanford totaled the most Pac-12 All-Academic selections (6) of any conference school for the fifth consecutive season.
The Cardinal also has produced 60 all-time All-Academic selections, the most of any conference school since the award's inception in 1985-86.
Meanwhile, Dwight Powell was named this year's Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, honoring seniors who post a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher while boasting the conference's most notable athletic accomplishments.
Brown (Communication, 3.26 GPA), a fifth-year senior, is completing coursework toward a Coterminal M.A. in Media Studies program. He is a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, earning First Team accolades this year after Honorable Mention status in his first two seasons.
Gage (Economics, 3.65 GPA), who was recognized as an NABC Honors Court pick last year, wrapped up his career as a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection.
Also tabbed as an NABC Honors Court recipient for the second straight year, Lemons (Economics, 3.67 GPA) was named a Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection during his junior and senior seasons.
A first-time NABC Honors Court pick, Randle (African and African-American Studies, 3.30 GPA) is a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team honoree. Randle completed his undergraduate degree one year ahead of his class and has been accepted into Department of Psychology's master's program.

St. Norbert Rebounds to Trim Northland International
From Sports Information Director, September 2, 2013 | Men's Soccer
by Dan Lukes, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-4077
DE PERE - St. Norbert College rebounded from a tough loss one day ago to top Northland International University 5-0 in a non-conference match at Schneider Stadium.
The Green Knights (1-1) wasted little time taking control of the match, connecting on three goals in the first 15 minutes of the match. Michael LaTorre scored his first collegiate goal by finishing off a pretty passing combination at the 7:50 mark, with Sam Lamers and Jim Blisk assisting.
Nate Felhofer converted a penalty kick at 12:02, and Lamers finished a breakaway with Joe Fabich assisting at 14:38.
The Green Knights salted the game away with a pair of second-half goals. Blisk converted from the doorstep at 60:08 with Lamers assisting. Fabich then scored his first collegiate marker at 70:17, finishing off a breakaway of his own with Trevor Scales assisting.
Lamers finished with four points, getting one goal and two assists. Blisk and Fabich both had three-point games with one goal and one assist.
St. Norbert outshot Northland International (0-1) by an 18-9 count. Scott Faul made five saves to earn the win in goal for the Green Knights, which included a penalty-kick save in the first half.

Video Collaboration – Better Than Being There? Decide for Yourself, Place Your Vote
Recently Cisco commissioned a study with The Economist Intelligence Unit to survey 862 business leaders on their sentiments about the value of in-person meetings and the impact on more than 30 business processes including initial meetings, project kick-offs and contract renewals. Business leaders were virtually unanimous in agreeing that in-person communication is more effective, powerful and conducive to success; with 75 percent stating it is absolutely critical to the health of their organization. (For those of you who prefer infographics, here is one with the results).
However, our desire for closer, more synchronous communication is being challenged by globalization, distance, and increased pressure to reduce costs or "do more with less." Telepresence is the most effective way to bridge the in-person gap, and as OJ Winge mentioned in a recent speech, it is helping to drive innovation and positive social change in all industries and businesses of all sizes.
But an interesting debate remains, while the majority of business leaders agree in-person is the most impactful communication, 60 percent of communications are not real-time. So what gives? Why do most organizations who claim to drive innovation and change still rely on technology that has far less impact? When many of us are using video technology to connect on a personal level with friends and family and "see" each other on a daily basis because it absolutely has more impact than picking up the phone, why are most businesses slow to adopt? Complexity? Cost? Lack of knowledge?
I am fortunate to work for an organization that not only manufacturers telepresence technology, but also embraces it across the organization. I can personally speak to the fact that it has changed the way I do business – the way I manage a remote team, the way I connect with my vendors and suppliers, and the way I connect back home when I have to travel. I rarely pick up the phone to talk to anyone, if I need a decision or quick input, telepresence is always my first choice.
If you believe in the Power of In-Person as much as I do and want to hear what the future looks like for companies who are making the in-person imperative jump, please vote for us to present at next year's SXSW 2013.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

News Editor
A 17-year-old accused in over two dozen burglaries in Calhoun, Liberty and surrounding counties walked out of the Jackson County Jail Monday after posting a $50,000 bond.
According to officials at the Jackson County Jail, Keldrick Trenaud Wilson, 17, of Quincy, made bond yesterday and there were "no holds" on him. However, Wilson is wanted for two burglaries in Calhoun County, as well as several in Liberty and surrounding counties. A Jackson County Jail Officer told The County Record there were no warrants in the case file. Judge Woody Hatcher reportedly set the bond for Wilson. Parks remains in custody on a $100,000 bond and was in court at press time today.
The County Record contacted authorities in both Calhoun and Liberty counties this morning and learned they had no idea Wilson had been released from jail yesterday. An attempt is being made at this moment to take him back into custody.
As reported Thursday, a group of investigators from Calhoun and surrounding counties gathered in Gadsden County mid-morning last Wednesday to compare notes and strategize following a string of 25 burglaries spanning from Bainbridge, GA, all across Northwest Florida. As they sat outside the BP in Chattahoochee talking in unmarked vehicles, a Calhoun County investigator noticed something. A car fitting the description of the one they were looking for after an attempted burglary in Bristol Tuesday afternoon pulled into the parking lot. Two black males matching the description of the suspects stepped out of the dark green car. Sneads Police Chief Burt McAlpin quickly boxed them in, preventing the vehicle from leaving.
Within minutes, Wilson and Xavier Darcus Parks, 18, Quincy were in custody. Their car contained firearms, as well as some of the jewelry missing from homes around the region.

Three tries in seven second-half minutes proved crucial as Challenge Cup finalists Hull leapfrogged bitter rivals Hull KR in the Super League table.
A penalty try for Kirk Yeaman and further touchdowns from Jamie Shaul and Joe Arundel helped the visitors turn the match around and emerge triumphant in the derby at MS3 Craven Park.
It was Hull's third successive win and a third straight defeat for the Robins.
Rovers' hopes were dealt a blow before a ball had been kicked with second-rower Rhys Lovegrove withdrawing from the team with an arm injury. His place went to George Griffin, who had missed Rovers' last 10 matches.
Almost inevitably, tempers flared between the sides, with Josh Hodgson and Yeaman sin-binned for their part in a brawl.
The deadlock was broken by the hosts in the 21st minute when Greg Eden sent Liam Salter over for the try after juggling the ball at the second attempt.
It was just reward for Salter, whose hit on Danny Tickle handed Rovers possession near the halfway line. Michael Dobson added the extras for a 6-0 lead.
Dave Hodgson was yellow-carded for Rovers for deliberately keeping Tom Lineham on the ground following a tackle, and with the extra man advantage the visitors levelled as Jacob Miller stretched out to score after good work coming across the pitch by Arundel, with Tickle adding the extras.
Dobson opted to slot a penalty to give the hosts an 8-6 half-time lead.
Hull took the lead for the first time in the match when video referee Ian Smith ruled that Yeaman would have scored had Travis Burns not impeded him. Tickle added the extras, and they edged even closer to victory when Richard Whiting intercepted Craig Hall's pass, raced downfield and let speed merchant Shaul do the rest.
The game was taken away completely from Rovers straight from the kick-off as Holdsworth won possession from the restart and his brilliant offload sent Arundel away for another long-range try. Tickle converted in front of the posts to make it 24-8 with 20 minutes remaining.
The hosts responded with a try from Adam Walker, which Dobson converted but the sting was taken out of their recovery effort when Whiting scored in the right-hand corner. Rovers fans claimed there was a forward pass in to Whiting from Holdsworth, but the try stood and again Tickle converted.
Rovers were not going down without a fight and Evarn Tuimavave crashed over, but Tom Briscoe added another Hull try, grounding Danny Houghton's kick with four minutes left to play, and Tickle added a late penalty to seal the win.

For some time after launch, it looked like Playfish's The Sims Social, a Facebook-powered spin-off of Electronic Arts' top franchise, would pass CityVille as the top game on Facebook.Then it stalled. Then it started losing users.
Sources tell us EA threw tons of cash at marketing the game to keep its users above the ground. But it wasn't able to capture the hearts and minds of gamers like FarmVille was.
Now The Sims Social has around 3 million daily players, while Zynga still has several games in the top rankings on Facebook. CityVille — a game more than a year old — has 5 million daily active users. FarmVille, one of Zynga's oldest games, has 4.3 million daily players.
What happened?
We spoke with a bunch of high-ranking people in the industry — some whom are competitors and some who are close to the company, but all have been in the games industry for years – to find out what happened. It boils down to about three points:
- The Sims Social "harmed the player." "Wither" mechanics are common in social games – such as crops dying if you fail to come back in time to harvest that crop. But in The Sims Social, your relationship with other players would decay over time if you didn't come back often enough. One industry source said it violates the cardinal sin of social games: don't harm the player.
- It was too much like FarmVille. The Sims Social prided itself on being a "social" game that encouraged you to play with friends asynchronously. But the progression of the game boiled down to making your house and room look pretty, instead of building your character into something more than where you started. It was too much like FarmVille, but with a different skin, several industry sources told us.
- It didn't leverage the "social" part of the game anywhere near enough. This plays off the last point — The Sims Social could have thrived as both an asynchronous (meaning the players play the game at separate times) and synchronous (they play at the same time) game. It would have opened up a whole new level of social interaction with other players and with Facebook as a whole. The Sims Social didn't capitalise on this at launch.
Playfish is now getting ready to launch Sim City on Facebook, even though a lot of its top talent has left (or is in the process of leaving). That game has been in development for several years now, and Playfish is convinced it needs a triple-A level game to compete with Zynga.

First Server Run
If you run ultravnc server for the first time, the settings "ultravnc.ini file" does not exist and firewall need to allow winvnc.
When you are running on XP and winvnc was installed as service you first get the "runas"
First connection (loopback)
Now that the server is running, we can make a fast test connection in loopbackmode.(loopback mode= server+ viewer on same PC)
1* Tell server to allow loopback
2* Tell viewer to connect to the server
Start the viewer vncviewer.exe
When all is ok you should see the viewer showing himself like watching 2 mirrors( not usufull to do anything, but it tell server and viewer can connect)
First connection (local network)
Install viewer on second PC ( the pc you gonna use the control the server)
* Use the installer and select viewer only.
The server ip address can be found by hovering the mouse over the vnc server tray icon.
Instead of "localhost" you need to enter this ip address
Internet Connection
We only handle 2 cases
A. Server has a official ip address
A. Server has a official ip address
When the server has an official ip address there is no difference between a LAN or internet connection. You need to enter the server ip in the viewer connection box. ( see last part "First Run")
B. Server has a private ip and use a Nat router to connect to the internet. The router has the official ip address.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks):
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
If your server has an ip address that's in one of the above ranges you are using some nat router to connect to the internet and the viewer can not make a direct connection to the server.

A girl named Atalanta was the fastest person in Greece, but she was in no hurry to get married. She loved her freedom too much. She loved racing and games and the outdoors. She did not want to change. She wanted things to stay just the way they were.
One day, a boy named Hippomenes asked for her hand in marriage. Atalanta liked him, but she told him that she would marry him only if he could beat her in a race. She knew that could never happen.
Hippomenes looked for help from the goddess of love, Aphrodite. The goddess gave him three beautiful golden apples from her garden.
"Only with these apples," she said, "can you win the race."
"But how?" asked Hippomenes. The goddess told him how.
The next day, Atalanta and Hippomedes met at the starting line. The gong was sounded and Atalanta took off like a cheetah. She was far ahead of Hippomenes, but he was not worried. He took one of the apples from the pocket of his tunic and threw it ahead of her. She saw it rolling and stopped to pick it up.
Hippomenes threw another apple. She stopped and picked it up. He threw the third apple. She stopped, she picked it up, he passed her, and he won.
In the end, Atalanta found that marriage did not slow her down at all. She still played games. She could still run fast. And she still held the title of fastest runner.

Sometimes these Derby horses talk to you.
They really do.
But you have to be willing to listen for that to do any good.
In the days leading up to the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, most of the 20 horses that ended up in the field for the Run for the Roses were head-turners in one way or another.
But a handful, in my eyes, truly dazzled in the works and gallops. That group included (in alphabetical order):
- Bodemeister (workouts only)
- Daddy Nose Best
- I'll Have Another
- Prospective
- Union Rags
- Went the Day Well
If I had simply stuck with that group of six in analyzing Derby 138, I would have been in pretty good shape. Most ran pretty well, with the most notable being I'll Have Another, who rallied from just off the leaders to run down favored Bodemeister in the stretch.
The 1,342 ½ feet of soon-to-retire Track Superintendent Butch Lehr's sandy loam homestretch has been called "Heartbreak Lane†through the years, and the nickname was validated on Derby Day when Bodemeister, after grabbing the early lead and a withering pace, did too much too soon and had nothing to offer when I'll Have Another and rookie Derby jockey Mario Gutierrez came rolling past in the final sixteenth of a mile.
Trainer Doug O'Neill's I'll Have Another had touted himself as a horse to respect all week with his strong gallops and one sharp work. And Gutierrez, who watched last year's Derby on television at British Columbia's Hastings Park, was so deft and delicate in his handling of the winner his last name might have well have been Shoemaker.
O'Neill, Gutierrez and owner J. Paul Reddam all collected their first Derby victories in Saturday's race, with Gutierrez being the 42nd rider to take the roses in his first attempt.
Bodemeister, who looks as ordinary on a racetrack as any horse in memory on any day except when he works out or runs, turned in an extraordinary race and validated his sparkling win in the Arkansas Derby.
As for the others who trained well, they either showed up or had excuses:
- Union Rags had one of the most rugged Derby journeys in memory in a race that will almost certainly cost Julien Leparoux the mount aboard Michael Matz's colt. He missed the break and was in trouble almost every step of the way, but finished in the final eighth faster than any other horse. That was about has far as he got to run.
- Went the Day Well rallied for a fast-finishing fourth, just behind Dullahan, trainer Dale Romans' half-brother to 2009 longshot Derby winner Mine That Bird who was compromised by a wide trip. Went the Day Well should improve off this race and should be a threat to the Derby winner in the Preakness.
- Daddy Nose Best split the field with a 10th-place run. He was bumped early, but got into the game at the head of the stretch before tiring.
- Prospective lost all chance when he clipped heels at the start.
It's entirely possible that the chances of some Derby horses were affected adversely by Derby Day heat that made the day feel more like a July afternoon than the first Saturday in May.
But the good news is that the Derby 138 field came out of the race with only one apparent injury. Take Charge Indy, the hope of trainer Patrick Byrne and jockey Calvin Borel who finished 19th, came out of the race with a bone chip. But he is expected to be back in action by fall.
The obvious question after the Derby is whether I'll Have Another can leap from Derby winner to Triple Crown candidate. He's the only member of this class with that opportunity, but he has a versatile running style and should be a major player in the Preakness if the big run on the unusually hot Derby Day was harder on him than it appeared when he wore the roses after the race.
It's been 34 years since the last Triple Crown winner. The next step in the Triple Crown saga comes up on May 16 at Pimlico. A Preakness run similar to his Derby win makes I'll Have Another tough to handle, but he didn't exactly separate himself from the strong 3-year-old crop with his Derby run. Another step forward in Baltimore might accomplish that.

A century or more ago, "insurance" was something of a bad word for Mennonites. Buying an insurance policy implied value on worldly treasure and represented departure from the traditional practice of "mutual aid," by which the church used its pooled resources to rebuild and restore losses suffered by individual members through accident or other misfortune.
Attitudes and circumstances began changing in the church, though, around the middle of the twentieth century, according to Herman Bontrager '72, the president and CEO of Goodville Mutual Casualty Company in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Several factors were at play. American society was becoming more litigious (a lament with continuing relevance), and while church-based mutual aid could replace a member's car after an accident, settling a liability to an outside party could become very expensive very quickly.
Growing income disparity between church members also presented challenges to the mutual aid model. As some members grew wealthier, their desire not to burden others with the prospect of insuring (through mutual aid) expensive assets, or even a lack of confidence that the church would be able to do so, provided further incentive to purchase underwritten, commercial insurance.
(Underwriting – essentially, an assessment of risk – is a key difference between insurance and mutual aid. Under the mainstream insurance model, the underwriting process is used to set premium prices or even to reject coverage entirely. Mutual aid plans extend coverage to all members of a specified group – members of any church in a certain Mennonite conference, for example – without this same risk assessment process.)
The shift didn't happen overnight. Goodville Mutual was founded by Mennonites in 1926, at a time when the church still held a generally skeptical view of insurance. Goodville had no formal affiliation with the church, operating from the start as a licensed, regulated insurance company offering underwritten policies to the general public. Over several decades, it began to expand from Pennsylvania to other states, often at the invitation of small, Mennonite-run mutual aid plans that wanted to add Goodville's personal liability insurance to the property coverage they offered for homes, farms and businesses. They also wanted to offer Goodville's auto insurance to their members, Bontrager told Crossroads.
By the 1950s, the idea of commercial insurance had gained wide enough acceptance within the Mennonite church that Mennonite-owned insurance brokerages began to appear. In 1952, a man named Emory Layman began selling Goodville home and auto policies in Harrisonburg, Virginia, through his Layman Insurance Agency. Ralph Weaver, class of '53, founded a similar company – Weaver Insurance – in Waynesboro, Virginia, in 1958. And in Berlin, Ohio, Paul Hummel founded the Hummel Insurance Agency in 1957.
Changing times and mindsets led to the establishment of these businesses by members of a church that once looked on the entire insurance industry with suspicion. Continuing change in society and markets means that each of them now offers a far wider range of products and services than they did at the beginning. At the same time, they still maintain close ties to the church in general, and to EMU in particular, as multiple graduates work in management and other areas of each of these companies.
"One of the things we really try to emphasize is 'Do the right thing for the client,'" said Stephen Cavanaugh '93, the general manager of LD&B Insurance and Financial Services in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
(LD&B – Layman, Diener & Borntrager – is the corporate descendant of Layman Insurance Agency, which merged in 1992 with an insurance agency owned by Eugene Diener '68 and Jonas Borntrager '70. Today, LD&B is employee-owned.)
Building strong relationships with clients, Cavanaugh said, is certainly good business practice. But it's also done in the service of LD&B's goals to build and support community in the areas where it works. The company makes a practice of giving a fixed percentage of its gross revenues (not profits) to community organizations and gives its nearly 70 employees a free day each year to volunteer at a non-profit agency of their choice, along with $500 to support it. While LD&B "isn't a Mennonite company," said Diener, who serves as president, its values reflect those of the church, and were shaped by his and other alumni employees' experiences at EMU.
"At EMU, I began to realize life is all about relationships," said Adam Savanick '06, an LD&B financial advisor. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to work for a firm that is committed to serving and improving the local community."
Savanick's job title, financial advisor, indicates one of the ways that these agencies have evolved over the years – offering financial planning services and investment products in addition to insurance policies. While LD&B has offered financial planning to some degree for years, Cavanaugh said, it has become a special focus of the company since he was hired two years ago. Because insurance and financial planning are so closely related (insurance protects assets, financial planning builds them), this diversification made sense for many companies like LD&B.
In Ohio, the Hummel Insurance Agency is now known as the Hummel Group, and financial services has become a large and important part of its business, said principal Barry Hummel '74, son of the company's founder. The same is the case at the company now known as Weaver Insurance and Financial Advisors, which began offering financial services in the late '90s, said Chad Hatter '97.
"One thing that my education at EMU deeply instilled in me was the value of considering the long-term perspective," said Joe Shenk '02, a finance and investment adviser at Weaver. "[That's] challenging to keep in mind, but if you let it guide your investment decisions, history shows that you will have better outcomes."
Shenk also said that one of the things he values about working at Weaver is that it is an independent brokerage (as are LD&B and the Hummel Group) that doesn't "promote proprietary products at the expense of what is good for clients."
In something of an ironic twist when you take the long view, churches are also among these companies' clients. At Weaver, Janna Zirkle '75 specializes in selling property, liability, workers' compensation and auto policies to congregations, as well as travel policies for church-sponsored trips abroad.
"Situations can and do arise that have the potential for devastating results," said Zirkle. "Making church leaders aware of the possible risks … and providing suggestions to help minimize [them] is what I enjoy most."
Changing times have also prompted Goodville to diversify its product offerings. (As an insurance company, Goodville actually develops policies, sets premiums and pays out claims; the other businesses mentioned in this article are brokerages that sell policies from various insurance companies, including Goodville.) In the '90s, Bontrager said, it began packaging home and auto policies together to offer more competitive rates to customers – an innovation in the industry that's aggressively marketed by larger insurance companies.
"It's all about statistics and probability," Bontrager said.
The more that risks are spread out, between different policy holders and different insurance coverages, the smaller the burden placed on each member. And the bigger an insurance company is, the more it can withstand volatility and unpredictability in the claims it will pay out (an example: the "derecho" storm in June 2012 became the single biggest loss event in Goodville history).
Today, commercial insurance has almost entirely replaced mutual aid (as defined in its purest sense) as the way that members of the Mennonite church protect their homes, cars and bank accounts against disaster. Along the way, new companies with ties to the church and EMU have sprung up, flourished and broadened in scope.
Still, Bontrager said, the lend-a-hand motivation behind mutual aid still thrives in a non-commercial way in Mennonite communities.
"The way we practice mutual aid has two facets: one is helping people in the community who fall into hard times. The second way it is to extend unconditional aid to people who might not be members of our church, who are in need," Bontrager said. "That commitment is very much alive and well in our churches." — Andrew Jenner '04

When Cornelius Ingram speaks, people listen. Especially in his hometown of Hawthorne.
When Cornelius Ingram speaks, people listen. Especially in his hometown of Hawthorne.
"They treat me like Obama in Hawthorne," said Ingram, a former standout tight end with the University of Florida.
He said that he has been weighing options with several NFL teams, but in the meantime, he has been working to get his message out to area youth.
"Our kids are our future," Ingram said. "I really like having the opportunity to give back. No matter what a kid wants to do, whether it is go to college or get a job after high school, they need someone to talk with.
"Being in a small town like Hawthorne, I really have a chance to make an impact and that means a lot to me." Currently, Ingram spends a great deal of time working with his church, Miracle Deliverance in Hawthorne. He credits his parents and pastor Robby Williams for being a big part of his development, as well as his older brother, Greg Bowie, who led Hawthorne's boys basketball team to the Class 1A state championship game against Florida signee Chris Walker and Bonifay Holmes County. His hometown, though, isn't the only place that Ingram has become a fixture. In Marion County, he has become a huge friend to the North Marion High School football program and its longtime coach Craig Damon. "I've known coach Damon since I was in 10th grade," Ingram said. "We talked a lot about me actually coming to North Marion and throwing passes to (former Florida State and North Marion wide receiver) Greg Carr, but I really love where I am from." Damon said Ingram has been a huge asset to the NMHS program and he helped the program put on a celebrity all-star basketball game, which took place this past weekend in Sparr. Ingram's team featured former Gators Percy Harvin, Chris Rainey, Kestahn Moore and Willie Jackson and brought a packed house to the NMHS gym on a night where the school retired the number of past football greats. "Anytime that I have needed something, he's been right there," Damon said. "Even though he didn't go (to North Marion), he's been a big help to us. "Anytime we needed someone to come and speak to the kids about FCAT or anything else, he's been right there. He's always helped me." Ingram is glad he has the chance to work with youth in Alachua and Marion counties. "Hawthorne and North Marion are a lot alike in that they are both on the outskirts of the counties they are," he said. "A lot of people said to me that I wouldn' be able to make it from a small town and I am sure a lot of people tell the players at North Marion the same thing, so my message to the younger kids is to believe in yourselves and your dreams can come true."

The ribbon has been cut! Daily flights between the Jack Brooks Regional Airport and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport commenced Thursday, Feb. 14, at the airport in Beaumont, an event that brought together hundreds of people from around the area.
The celebration started bright and early at 9 a.m. with droves of community members gathering to show their support for the new route that so many in the area worked to bring to Jack Brooks Regional.
Newly appointed airport director Alex Rupp was present at the event. Rupp said the route was only in place through a culmination of efforts by counties, cities, businesses and people in the community who want to see the area flourish. He said the airport and supporters of the route have been working for months to see to it that area residents have the option to fly from Jack Brooks Regional Airport to DFW rather than travel to Houston first and fly out from there.
"I'm really excited," said Rupp, who had been interim director since 2012 until his appointment was made permanent Feb. 13. "We are just ecstatic this has happened."
Jefferson County Pct. 2 Brent Weaver echoed Rupp's sentiment.
"I am very excited," Weaver said at the event. "The route will be very good for this area."
Weaver and the other Jefferson County Commissioners approved a $250,000 contribution from the county to a "minimum revenue guarantee" (MRG) to American Airlines for a new American Eagle route between Jack Brooks Regional Airport to DFW at their meeting on Sept. 10, 2012. Other counties, cities and local businesses joined in the effort to accumulate the $1.5 to $2 million guarantee required by American Airlines for them to establish the route.
Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce President Jim Rich was a supporter of the route and did a lot of footwork to help the airline reach the goal. He said he felt the route would be a boon to the area and bring in more business and more money to the local economy. At the event, Rich stood by, suitcase in hand, ready to take off on the inaugural flight.
"I've got my bags packed and I'm ready to go," Rich said addressing the audience.
Joe Tant, who is with the Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce, was there with his girlfriend Dabeyva Durant to take her on a romantic Valentine's Day lunch in Dallas.
"I'm ready to go eat," Tant said. "It's a big deal for us to get this American Airlines route. We wanted to show our support, and this is the inaugural flight so here we are."
But that wasn't the whole story! For more on Tant, Durant and their Valentine's Day flight, see page 5 C.
Those flying out that Thursday loaded up and got ready for takeoff after making it through the security check. Once the plane was full, they raced across the tarmac and down the runway, finally taking to the skies. The plane made it safely to Dallas where the passengers were free to enjoy the sights, and in many cases the tastes, the city had to offer, making the inaugural flight a complete success.

Rockers KISS are to show their support for Britain's armed forces by staging a special charity gig in London.
The Crazy Crazy Nights hitmakers were due to head to the U.K. next month to headline the Sonisphere Festival along with Queen, but the event was cancelled.
However, fans can still catch KISS in Britain this summer – the band has announced a one-off fundraising gig in the capital in aid of Help The Heroes.
All proceeds from the July 4 concert will be donated to the foundation, which helps wounded servicemen and women.
Singer Paul Stanley says, "The greatest national treasure of any free country is the army that defends it at all cost. Bringing attention to the obligation we all share to those returning heroes has been our mission in the U.S. and now the U.K.
"We pay tribute to those brave men and women and urge everyone to show their thanks with donations."

What I am sharing for today's Treasure Chest Thursday post is my First Families of Montgomery County certificate. Listed on the certificate are the names Henry Sweadner, Eleanor Suman Sweadner, Henry Mathias Routsong, Jacob Routsong, Catherine Flook Routsong, and Clarinda Swadner Routsong, all of my ancestors who I was able to prove were living in Montgomery County, Ohio before 1830. It's a treasure to me not only because of the work that was involved in the documentation, but because it proves to all my descendants that they own a portion of the history of Ohio.
So far, I have proven First Families status in Montgomery and Clinton Counties in Ohio. I have a long way to go, but it's a good start!
