Network Propositions
6000 - 6199
The nuclear mushroom-cloud is symbolic of id-release.
Increasing violence, worldwide since 1945, is part and parcel of the id-release syndrome.
The at-large id has no respect for bodies or any matters physical: The at-large id is purely spirit ... that is, pure will-energy.
The essential self of an individual is the monad and its will-energy is the id.
The id is the reservoir of all the will-energy of the Absolute. This reservoir may be drawn upon by any monad.
The ability of a monad to draw upon the id-reservoir depends upon the degree of self-realisation of a monad.
The greater the self-realisation of a monad, the greater its id-power.
Each one of us is a member of the 'id-club', so to speak, and in good standing. Each of us can call on the full resources of the club at any time. All we have to do is to realise that we can do so, and to exercise the privilege.
The strong bonds, between a popular leader and his/her followers, depend largely upon group id-arousal and group id-feeding.
Propagandist group emotional arousals are id-arousals ... and they are occasions for group feeding on primaeval psychic force ... that is, for id-feeding.
Byron, Napoleon, Wagner and Dostoievsky may have had psychopathic tendencies: Perhaps the id of these people had freer rein. Many geniuses were id-people.
Uninhibited art may be described as id-art.
The id is directly connected to our instinctive and emotional response mechanisms.
Emotional appeals are considerably more effective than rational appeals, from a propagandist point of view.
Propagandist rhetoric appeals directly to the id.
Reasoned arguments rarely arouse the emotions ... that is to say, reasoned arguments rarely arouse the id.
Popular leaders arouse the id and cause a flow of id-energy to surge within their followers.
An arousal of id-energy has a powerful and even addictive effect upon a subject. An id-energy addict tends to return to the initial arousal circumstances and ambience for a repeat id-experience.
When Nietzsche speaks of the will to power, he speaks of the id. He says that the will to power is essentially creative, and that it is never represented nor interpreted nor evaluated: The will to power is that which interprets, evaluates and wills.
The id is both creator and destroyer.
Thought subserves the will-energy ... that is, thought subserves the id.
The problem of critique is the value of values ... that is, the problem of the creation of values. Nietzsche saw that a philosophy of values had to be a critique.
The id immediately summates and immediately acts: It is primaeval action which is, in a strange sense, personified: It is a kind of deified will-energy.
Nietzsche surmises that the will to power may be the basic energy of the whole cosmos.
The Sanskrit and yogic term for the id is 'shakti'.
For every thing there is a sufficient reason why it is so rather than otherwise. (This is the principle of sufficient reason).
For every thing and every event, an infinite number of rationales may be adduced.
All parts of knowledge are interconnected, and every judgement is connected with every other judgement, and every activity is connected with every other activity. Existence is both various and integral.
Scientific methods may achieve acceptably certain conclusions, but not incontrovertibly certain conclusions.
No thing can be logically proven in terms of itself ... and, as all is Absolute and of itself, no thing can be proven.
The term 'truth' has both spiritual and social usage and value, but no scientific usage or value.
The meaning of a proposition is the method of discovering whether it is true. (This is the principle of verification).
True' is an evaluative term, meaning 'good to believe'.
The truth of any thing is its usefulness.
The word 'true' is a signal of assent which functions in a similar way to the word 'yes'.
The phrase 'is true' is used to confirm or endorse a statement or proposition.
A 'truth' is that which is acceptable to, or consistent with, a point of view.
Truth does not prefer this over that, or categorise right and wrong: Truth is the spirit of the whole, and its beautiful pristine clarity is that of the Absolute.
The combination of practicality and noble ideals was a powerful and popular aspect of stoicism. The stoic sage eschewed emotional devices.
Since virtue depended on knowledge, the stoics sought to develop a theory of knowledge.
The sceptics hold that there is no distinguishable mark between true and false perceptions ... and that there is no criterion of judgement.
The stoics regarded nature not with scientific curiosity but with a kind of religious awe.
To the stoics, all existence is an original single being ... and all things and expressions are modes of the single being.
The stoics stated that the wise man wants only what he can achieve ... and thus he can always achieve what he wants. The cynics held a similar point of view.
The interest of the stoics in logic was mainly to perfect arguments in support of their beliefs.
Deontology is the philosophical position which regards duty and obligation as fundamental to the understanding of morality.
Any system of logic is an abstraction from reality and is a tool which may assist us to think, live and survive successfully. As a tool, a system of logic is essentially instrumentalist in its function.
True/false is to logic what right/wrong is to mathematics. Truth or falsity, in both cases, flow from definition and arrangement of terms. Both logical and mathematical methods reveal consistencies and inconsistencies of meaning and arrangement ... but the methods themselves add nothing to content.
Structuralists claim to uncover hidden unconscious structures beneath surface meanings. Structuralists attempt to create a science of sign-meanings (or of meaning-signs). Logical positivists, reductionists and cognitive scientists may be classed as structuralists.
The modern flood of communications has a confusing 'Babel' effect on social cells of authority. Ideas (as to questions, problems and solutions) proliferate within and around the social cell; agreement among decision-makers is harder to attain and maintain; and an increase of communications osmosis (from within to outside the cell), erodes confidentiality and enables opponents to exercise destructive leverage against the cell.
All cells of authority are being weakened, as social chaos accelerates.
Need for information acts as a 'sink', which pulls information in.
Knowledge is important to prediction science ... but only if we know what knowledge is. The philosophy and science of the nature of knowledge is of major importance.
Existence may be likened to a complex jigsaw puzzle.
Each jigsaw part of existence is important ... but only if we have the whole jigsaw picture and can understand where the part fits in.
Existence is not like just one jigsaw puzzle: It is like an infinite number of jigsaw puzzles which are all inter-linked. Happily, each part of each picture provides clues to the whole.
As the whole jigsaw assemblage takes shape, we gain a new scenario, a new enlightenment, and a new language.
It is often helpful, in prediction science, to posit propositions on both sides of any question. (Note: This practice dates back to the Greek sceptics, and probably earlier).
As our species develops, it develops both itself and its environment ... not as a duality but as an integrality.
The political world is being engulfed by the communications world. Politicians and bureaucrats hold their powers tenuously and precariously, in face of the mounting flood of communications.
The communications flood tends to invalidate political leadership and political power.
Prediction science is primarily about what we perceive and what we will perceive.
How things are perceived now, affords clues as to how things will be perceived in the future.
Every voice is the voice of the Absolute. Every word is the word of the Absolute ... and that we may judge it good or evil has no effect on its provenance.
Existence is like a complex jigsaw puzzle which is all in pieces ... and people look at it and say it is too difficult to understand. But, when the puzzle is put together and is complete, people look at it and say it is not so difficult to understand after all.
There is no duality of God/man: God and man are one. Nor can man set himself against the will of God, for God's will and man's will are one.
Nevertheless, to believe in a God/man duality enacts that duality in thought and behaviour.
He, who wishes punishment of another, brings punishment upon himself.
God is wholly in each person: Shall I seek to punish God?
A society may punish its members, but individuals may not punish each other.
Jesus said 'if you knew me, you would know my Father also'. If one knows the Son, one knows the Father and the Holy Ghost. One is either spiritually aware or unaware.
Most of us are unaware that our race is undergoing metamorphosis to spiritual state ... but this metamorphosis is nevertheless taking place, whether we are aware of it or not.
It is paradoxical that it is we ourselves who are causing this metamorphosis, of which we are largely unaware.
That, which is able to create a physical race and universe, is able also to create a spiritual race and universe.
Those, who have experience of the spiritual life, have no difficulty in accepting the existence of a spiritual race and universe.
Those, who have no experience of the spiritual life, have difficulty in accepting the existence of a spiritual race and universe which is unknown to them. To speak in spiritual terms to the non-spiritual is to speak a different language.
We sense communally, as a race; we sense genetically, as our genes enable us to sense; we sense absolutely, as the first and only sensors; we sense creatively, as designers and makers.
We are, at once, the Absolute and the agents of the Absolute; we are the species; we are the agent-monads of the Absolute; we are the id.
Our living race is a vast democratic community ... one organism upon its void ... and we do as we may, in our own sovereign way.
We are transfinite beings: Finity is of our infinity: Time and space are of us ... and we enform and metamorphose as we will.
We are becoming consciously aware of what we are, as we enter our imago phase: We, which gestated and pupated, are now taking wing.
Life on Earth has, throughout evolutionary history, shown an unlimited ability to change its forms so as to survive in changing environmental conditions. It is now posited that life on Earth also has unlimited ability to change its environmental conditions.
Life on Earth changes its environmental conditions in order that it may change its forms. Metamorphosis is now perceived not as a reactive factor but as a leading factor in the evolutionary process.
Life decides to change its forms: It does not have its changes imposed upon it.
We metamorphose (evolve) to meet the conditions which we ourselves create.
We change our bodies and our environment at race-will.
All of what we see is personal input ... largely of a genetic kind. Our species sees things that we expect to see ... that we have learned as a species to see ... that we are genetically disposed/able to see.
Our species determines what it sees.
We see genetically ... that is, we see what our genes enable us to see.
It is the same with all the senses ... we hear, feel, taste, smell and see what we want to hear, feel, taste, smell and see.
All sensed variations of the environment are of our creation.
All forms and distinctions and differentiations are of our creation.
All phenomena of physics are of our creation.
All phenomena of thermo-dynamics are of our creation.
We create the concepts of time and space.
We, the living species, create the light-speed constant, light variations, brightness, darkness, colours, heat and cold.
We, the living species, are of the absolute oneness, and all expressions of the oneness are of our creation.
We create on a blank screen, as it were, and we sense as we create, and sense what we create.
Perception is a shared, racial, genetic ability.
What each and every human perceives affects what every other human perceives.
As a race, we perceive what we want to perceive, what we expect to perceive and what we are genetically equipped to perceive.
The science which is the most promising and pivotal for philosophy is the science of perception.
A visual perception has the same status as an hypothesis. As our assumptions change, our perceptual hypotheses change.
As we change our assumptions, our paradigms change ... that is, the way we see things changes.
Every act of perception is a creative act: We see what we assume to be there to see, and we assume creatively. Our assumptions are creative visualisations and, more generally, creative sensations.
The act of perceiving a work of art is every bit as creative as the work of art itself. That Van Gogh's art is far more appreciated now, than during his lifetime, may indicate that the public's creative appreciation of his art has developed during the intervening years. It takes two to tango, so to speak: The artist and his public is, in a sense, an art-integral.
As sight is far more creative than the other senses, this may account for why the sense of sight has evolved to a greater degree than other senses, evolutionally.
Over half of the human cerebral cortex is concerned with the sense of sight.
We think what we will to think. The content of our thought is primarily a matter of will ... that is, of decision. The processes of reason add nothing to content.
In thought, will predominates over reason.
A predictor is a watcher, a listener and a thinker: He is a receiver of information, a processor of information and a projector of information. The methodology of this network indicates that it should be read and interpreted as a whole. The implied caveat is that it could be misleading to take one or two propositions out of the context of the whole. We need not one vector on the future but many.
Often, one proposition is not adequate to the truth.
Some propositions are more extensible than others. Some are safe to extend and build upon, and others are unsafe.
Obstacles are opportunities for developing new skills and for honing existing skills.
To perceive something as an insurmountable obstacle is to identify a weakness or shortcoming in oneself ... for, to a highly competent person, there are no insurmountable obstacles.
A ploy is a way of overcoming an obstacle. To a resourceful and competent person, an infinite number and variety of ploys are available.
Our conscious self is like the tip of an iceberg: Most of our self is sub-conscious. Our sub-conscious self makes its own obstacles ... but our conscious self may feel that the obstacles are imposed from without. In this case, self-deception is advantageous.
A liability may be used as an asset. A builder of my acquaintance had a terrible stutter but, with a great effort, he could partially control it ... and, when in negotiations he wanted more time to think, he deliberately continued to stutter until he had his answer ready.
A liability may be converted into an asset. A printer of my acquaintance had a quick-fire anger but, after years of trying, he was able to control it ... and, on many occasions, I observed him turning it on and of, using it to advantage.
When accounting, I sometimes saw plant and inventories listed as assets when, in my opinion, they were better classed as liabilities.
To a spiritual person, physical or commercial assets may be liabilities.
A philosopher, such as Plotinus, may see all things as advantageous ... that is, as assets.
A good businessman may be said to be one who is able to take advantage of liabilities ... and to treat them as opportunites ... and to capitalise upon them.
An obstacle may be seen as a liability or as an opportunity ... as a step-riser which, once taken, raises one to a higher level.
As information randomises, confidentiality of information becomes more and more difficult to achieve ... and personal privacy becomes increasingly eroded.
Our living species (all Earth life) has developed itself. How can it do this? It is able to do it because it is a transfinite being, which creates timelessly. The answer to the question 'what created the first organic molecule?' is that the living species, itself, created it.
We (Earth life) are a self-made, absolute, transfinite species, which makes itself and its environments.
Our species (Earth life) was not pre-dated by time and space: Our species has made time-space, as milieu for expression.
What astronomers see, with their ever more powerful instruments, is what we (as a species) are able to see, ready to see, disposed to see and willing to see: What we create, we see.
A major error, which seekers of knowledge are making, is to assume that our environment is outside of our species and separate from our species, and that time-space, physical laws and physical phenomena are separate and independent of our species.
It is very important to comprehend and fully grasp the fact of our transfinity ... and what transfinity is and what its implications are.
Our transfinity does not mean that everything is predetermined: It does mean that present thoughts and actions affect all past and future thoughts and actions.
Our transfinity emphasises our integrality ... that is, our oneness.
Our transfinity emphasises the importance of the here-now.
We have power now, over all our past and all our future.
Transfinitely, the here-now has no exclusions.
As a race, we have created ourselves as we are now, and we may create ourselves to be whatever we will ourselves to be.
We may concentrate our thoughts on transfinite concepts, and realise that finite thinking is lacking in realism and is very restrictive.
While we continue to think in finite terms, we restrict our knowledge within finite parameters.
Our transfinity means that our finite body is only one aspect of our being ... and that our being is essentially timeless.
Our transfinity is our spirituality. Transfinity and spirituality are fact, not fiction.
Thinking, attitudes and actions, which are presently of the finity paradigm, will change radically when the switch is made to the transfinity paradigm.
Those, who fully realise their transfinity, find that their life is unlimited ... and they view their body as a useful tool but not as the 'be all and end all'. Life takes on a completely new perspective.
A realised transfinite person tends to be more tolerant, empathic and understanding.
An implication of our transfinity is that our creative abilities are not confined to finite and physical things.
It is for us to determine what we will create. Awareness of our transfinity enables us to create transfinitely.
Transfinity extends the parameters of our senses and we may develop them to perceive non-finitely and non-physically.
We (our species) create our senses: It is for us to determine how we sense and what we sense.
Transfinitely aware people have the ability and the privilege of creating transfinite forms and universes.
Transfinitely, creative imagination and fictions are as real as physical experience and non-fiction.
The transfinite aspects of a person are infinitely greater and infinitely more important than the finite aspects of a person.
We can punish a person's finity but we cannot punish a person's transfinity.
We may control the finite aspects of a personality but not the transfinite aspects of a personality.
We may perceive a person in finite dimension or transfinite dimension, or partly one and partly the other.
Only by becoming aware of our genetic programming can we gain the ability to de-programme ourselves and free ourselves of genetic constraints and biases.
An implication of our transfinity is that this physical phase may more easily be perceived and accepted as being transitional to a non-physical phase.
Physically destructive wars, civil violence, hard drugs and diseases such as AIDS may be aspects of a syndrome of racial metamorphosis, from a finite phase to a transfinite phase.
All things finite are subsets of the transfinite mainset ... and the finite subsets are subsets of convenience which may be changed or eliminated without any loss to the mainset. Consequently, conservation of finite things becomes downgraded in importance, as people realise that truly nothing is ever lost.
The essential self of each person is a monad ... a sovereign, inviolable, transfinite being. When we realise that we, ourselves, are transfinite beings, we realise also that we are integral with all existence ... with all that is. When we completely realise this, we enter upon our full inheritance as absolute beings.
As all qualities are transfinite, they are never lost. Love, compassion, beauty, justice, integrity, courage, loyalty, perception, creativity, intelligence, thought, and all the other qualities remain always with us. They are the substance of our transfinite being. And, enhosted with our loved ones and friends, we are one with them.
The expectations of a person are the predictions of that person.
Every person, by his or her expectations, is a predictor of the future.
To believe in another person's predictions, is to adopt them as one's own.
The moving awareness is like the moving hand of a clock ... and, as the hand moves, so ticks the truth.
Prediction tells us what we may expect to see ... and, as we tend to see what we expect to see, predicted events tend to be those which we see.
The possibility that we may perceive something other than the predicted state is the measure of our lack of belief in the predicted state.
Truth is the prediction which we believe in, and which we perceive.
Strongly-believed predictions tend to occlude perception of unpredicted things and events.
We predict selectively and we see selectively.
By our expectations and beliefs we make our future.
It is important to recognise that our expectations are often sub-conscious ... and that they are no less powerful by reason of being sub-conscious.
The spirit of truth is the spirit of prediction.
The truth which we know is the truth which we predict.
Prediction is our will to truth.
That, which we will, we predict.
Our expectations are our objectified will.
Our future is the creation of our will.
That which happens is the integrated will (conscious and sub-conscious) of our species.
Time is the measure of our lack of knowledge of ourselves.
Time is the measure of imperfect prediction.
The ticks of time are the ticks of uncertainty.
Our self is the Absolute, and knowledge of the Absolute is timeless.
Time is according to our need. If a person needs time, he or she can have as much of it as is needed. (Note: The reference here is to the monad-self, and not to a particular physical body).
Bias is not a measure of untruth: Bias is a measure of our individuality.
Truth is a function of our species: No species, no truth.
Our truth is our will, and our existence is according to our will. Our existence is our will and our truth.
Truth is not nebulous or arguable: Truth is pristine, and it is pure in essence and in spirit.
The spirit of truth is the Comforter, which listens and retells to man what man is ... that man may know himself and that man may know his way. The spirit of truth is the spirit of mankind.
Who shall say that there is no such thing as truth? that there is no such thing as the spirit of mankind?
Our quest is to find ourselves ... to find the spirit of mankind: This is the holy grail which is the truth and which holds the precious spirit of truth.
In our quest, we travel far in distance and long in time ... and, when we find the grail and drink of its spirit and know the truth of who and what we are, we no longer need time to take and space to travel in, for we then know that we are all in all.
The hunger for the grail is the hunger for home, and its finding is the coming home.
The wanderer only returns home when he is ready: We only come to know the truth when we are ready for it.
A prophet is one who gives word to our expectations: He helps us to express and conceptualise and visualise our will.
By listening to the collective will and putting that will into words, the prophet brings it into a focused laser-like beam, to create the future. The prophet is as a craftsman which the people use in shaping the future.
Time-space is the milieu of discovery of will: The quality of will itself is transfinite.
All qualities are transfinite, and time-space is the milieu of their discovery by monads ... that is, by individuals. Monads are qualitative, unique beings which self-discover qualities in time-space.
The spirit of truth is the spirit of our species and it is known as the Comforter, for its message that we are, each one of us, absolutely loved by the Absolute, and absolutely precious to the Absolute ... and that no one is ever cast out ... and each of us is always wanted and cared for ... and that we are, each of us, absolute, sovereign, unique, inviolable beings ... and nothing can ever harm us spiritually.
Our species is spiritually one and indivisible.
We always remain one and integral with our species psyche.

I am gob-smacked. Yesterday I went to buy a t-shirt on sale at a certain shop in the degraves street subway, and upon taking it to the counter the male clerk says it's the last one & the didn't want to sell it despite there being 3 more the same in other sizes on the rack and a girls top. Was I not 'art school' enough for him?
Well I could say he actually did me a favor because the t-shirt was quite boring, come to think of it.
I don't buy much anymore, but when I do I make sure it's a local designer or craftsperson to be supportive. I hope if this shop continues to be elitist, they don't last much longer.It's unfortunate for the other artists that sell there.
I'll stick to buying on Etsy and shops that like customers.
The day however quickly turned around with a wander in the spring sunshine visiting Craft Victoria, viewing some exhibitions for the Melbourne International Festival before it ended, stubbling across some more Miso pasters, and a nice afternoon tea at White Rabbit Record Bar in Kensington.

While the reviews aren't going to stop, they are going to start up on a new blog page, specifically for book reviews. As an avid reader, I've kept lists of what books I've been reading for a few years now. The plan is to write a review for each book I read, both for me to keep track and to help others find awesome books!
Here is my new book review blog, Owlie Reviews.
Of course, as an aspiring author, I also have a great new Facebook page. While I'm not sharing too much of my work just yet, I will say that I mostly write YA, and that my most current project features a bit of the supernatural. If you feel up to it, feel free to like me on Facebook as Lizzy March.

You will definitely get a solution to no boot disk has been found or has failed from this article.
Plenty of good reasons why cle_usb_driver_universa happen, including having malware, spyware, or programs not installing properly. You could have all sorts of system conflicts, registry errors, and Active X errors. Reimage concentrates on SmartPCFixer. It scans and diagnoses, then repairs your broken computer using advanced technology.
A Totally Free Scan (approximately a few minutes) to your PC's Windows Os detects questions divided into three categories - Security, Hardware and Stability. After the scan, you are able to take a look at PC's Hardware, Security and Stability in comparison to a worldwide average. You can review an overview of your problems detected on your scan.
Windows Errors
A Windows error is definitely an error when a unforeseeable situation appears or every time a request has failed. In case you have an error in Windows, it may be dangerous and cause your programs to freeze and crash or it can be seemingly harmless yet annoying.
Blue Screen of Death
A stop error screen or bug check screen, commonly called a blue screen of death (also referred to as a BSoD, bluescreen), is the consequence of fatal stystem error which is the error screen displayed with the Microsoft Windows family of systems upon encountering a crucial error, of a non-recoverable nature, that causes the device to "crash".
Damaged DLLs
One of the primary reasons for DLL's becoming corrupt/damaged is practicing constantly installing and uninstalling programs. This often implies that DLL's will get overwritten by newer versions when a new program is installed, as an example. This will cause trouble for those programs and applications that still have to have the old version to work. Thus, this program actually starts to malfunction and crash.
Freezing Computer
Computer hanging or freezing takes place when either a software program or the whole system ceases to respond to inputs. Within the most often encountered scenario, a course freezes and all sorts of windows from the frozen program become static. Typically, the best way to endure a process freeze is always to reboot the equipment, usually by power cycling having an on/off or reset button.
Virus Damage
As soon as your computer has been infected with a virus, it's no more a similar. After removing it together with your anti-virus software, you're often left with lingering side-effects. That doesn't mean it's error-free, even though technically, your computer might no longer be infected. Even simply removing a virus can certainly harm your system.
Operating System Recovery
Reimage repairs and replaces all critical Windows system files found it necessary to restart and run correctly, without harming your user data. Reimage also restores compromised system registry and settings values on their default Microsoft settings. You could always return your pc to its pre-repair condition.
When you are unsure what cle_usb_driver_universa it really is. Don't waste you time. SmartPCFixer is ready for helping you determine the file type and opening the file with simple click.
Don't forget data recovery process if the issues remove, hides your important files on USB and other drives. SmartPCFixer software does well in problem remove in simple three steps.

The regularity of how often you must clean your personal computer varies on different factors.However the normal cycle is 8-10 months.Below is actually a directory of tips to follow when cleaning any computer components or peripherals as well as tips to keep a personal computer clean.
General Cleaning Tips:
1.You're forbidden to pour liquid into your computer
2.You can use a vacuum to suck up dust and dirt. Alternatively, hair around the computer. Do not use a vacuum inside your computer as it generates static electricity and it can broke your computer. If you need to use a vacuum inside your computer, use a portable battery powered vacuum or try compressed air.
3.When cleaning a component or the computer, turn it off before cleaning.
4.Be mindful when you use any cleaning solvents; some people have allergic reactions to chemicals in cleaning solvents, and some solvents can even damage the truth. Try always to work with water or a highly diluted solvent.
5.When cleaning, make sure to not accidentally adjust any knobs or controls. Also, when cleaning the back of the computer, if anything is connected make sure not to disconnect the plugs.
6.When cleaning fans, especially smaller fans, retain the fan or place something involving the fan blades in order to avoid it from spinning. Spraying compressed air into a fan or cleaning a fan having a vacuum might cause damage or produce a back voltage.
7.Keep your PC clean and avoid eating around your own laptop.
8.Limit smoking round the computer.

Woman nicknamed 'Asian Persuasion' taken into custody for robbery at metro hotel
A woman wanted for her role in a robbery at a metro hotel has been taken into custody.
Oklahoma County Jail records show that Geiselle Stevenson, also known as "Asian Persuasion", was arrested June 18 on a warrant for robbery with a firearm.
Oklahoma City Police Department reports show that on June 4 a man told officers he had picked up a woman named "Asian Persuasion" from 10 West Apartments, 7642 NW 10, and took her back to his hotel at 2200 S. Meridian.
When entering his room with the woman, two men came up behind him and pushed him into the hotel room at gunpoint. While the man was held at gunpoint, the other suspects began stealing items from the room. The suspects stole tennis shoes, a gold necklace and various clothes from the victim.
In all, police say four people were involved in the armed robbery. Dennicco Henderson, 25, was arrested June 12 in connection to the case on a complaint of robbery with a firearm. Surveillance video shows a man and woman that police would still like to identify in connection to the crime.
Anyone with information on the remaining two suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300.

Paddick pauses. 'I guess some of it was fear. My father was brought up in the 1930s and there was always the fear of losing your job and not having enough money to feed the kids. I inherited that fear. I saw the police force as a steady job with a good pension. I can remember going to the interview and they asked me, "Why do you want to join the police?" and I replied, "I don't know."'
Last Tuesday, the Metropolitan Police Authority found there was no evidence to charge Paddick with cannabis possession. (His former lover, James Renolleau, had sold his story of their life together to a newspaper, including the allegation that Paddick had smoked 100 cannabis joints.) The MPA also decided that while Paddick should have informed senior officers that Renolleau was facing criminal charges when they first met seven years ago, Paddick had not behaved in a way that 'justified the imposition of any sanction, not even the lowest sanction of a reprimand'.
There is relief in his response but no gratitude. 'I gave an explanation in April which they now accept, so why have I had to suffer for the last eight months?'
It's hard to judge if the decision draws a line under a turbulent year or is merely another dip in a rollercoaster ride. Lambeth was Paddick's 'dream post', a platform to demonstrate 'not brutal leadership but caring leadership', and the dream isn't dead. His wish is reinstatement as commander. 'Nobody has explained to me why I can't be reinstated,' he says. Instead, he has been chosen to head the National Intelligence Model, the Met's latest blueprint for crime reduction.
In the past 11 months, the Met's former rising star has become Britain's most high-profile policeman in the most radioactive manner possible. To the Mirror, he might have been 'a blueprint for future policing' but a Sun splash described him as 'Commander Crackpot' for daring to debate anarchy on the Urban75 website.
One of the reasons Renolleau's allegations made such an impact is that they linked Paddick with the very substance, cannabis, that had done much to bring him to public attention. As borough commander, he introduced in Lambeth a pilot scheme which effectively downgraded cannabis from a Class B to a Class C drug. Just 48 hours after Paddick's banishment from Lambeth to unspecified desk duties, figures proved the scheme to be a success: street crime slashed by 35 per cent, burglaries down 8 per cent and arrests related to Class A drugs increased by 10 per cent. What's more, in August, Home Secretary David Blunkett announced national reclassification of cannabis from Class B to Class C, making arrest for possession discretionary. Paddick's approach is officially approved.
The man himself tries not to sound victimised. 'Maybe they were waiting for some mug to come along and suggest it, and I was that mug.'
When we meet in London's Charlotte Street Hotel, Paddick does not seem as 'paranoid', 'unstable' and 'unpredictable' as certain senior colleagues have suggested. Instead, he's eerily calm, though he says: 'There's a lot of professional jealousy in the Metropolitan Police. Some people court publicity. They feel the need to raise their profile in order to gain promotion. To see the spotlight dragged away from them on to me is more than they can stand.'
A wasting disease - read Aids - darkly hinted at in gossip columns turns out to be nothing more than amoebic infection. Paddick makes a point of a steady gaze, glancing away only once, when speaking about his family. The lilting voice is calm and measured, with occasional flares of defiance: 'I don't have any regrets. Well, I regret journalists ringing my mother up and asking to speak to my father a year after he'd died. But I don't regret what I've said and done. Everything has consequences. You take decisions and live with the consequences. Thankfully, I've been given the constitution to survive the consequences. Many people end up destroyed. But you don't know until it happens to you whether you'll survive or not.'
First and second impressions are of an open personality, lately tightly wound. Seldom sensed is a character capable of rousing great, contrary passions. Yet Paddick plainly does.
While he's far from a favourite of the family values lobby, the disgruntled residents of Lambeth demand the return of their 'People's Policeman', even at this late date organising meetings, leaflets and the distribution of slogan-emblazoned balloons. 'Pink balloons, of course,' Paddick suddenly jokes. Cabinet Ministers have written in support. Loyal PCs whisper in corners about 'the best boss we ever had'.
Imagine the grief avoided if Paddick had simply been economical with the truth when questioned about Renolleau. He agrees: 'It's questionable the Met would have had grounds to investigate if I hadn't admitted meeting James while he was on bail and the second thing of James smoking cannabis. There was no evidence, no witnesses. It would have been easier to lie.'
So why didn't he? 'Because people must realise what the realities are. These are dilemmas officers face on a weekly basis. What do they do when they're faced with this sort of relatively minor law-breaking? What do they do if it's their partner who is breaking the law? What I have said all along is this is the way I am, there is no side to me. I do realise that when people are like that you tend to get polarisation. You get people who are supportive because you will talk about issues and you get people who are opposed because you talk about issues. I have no intention of compromising what I believe in.'
Paddick is particularly sensitive to falsehood. Here's some compulsive record-correction: 'The Urban75 thing portrayed me as advocating anarchy as defined by rioting. What I said was that the concept of anarchism - the idea that human beings are innately good and it's only the result of living in society that has corrupted this innate good - was a very attractive idea, but it didn't work in practice. Even in Utopia, there would be bad people and you would need police.'
He bridles at the description of him as 'an outspoken advocate of the legalisation of cannabis'. Not so. 'The pilot was about the best use of limited resources. I didn't want my officers spending six hours of an eight-hour shift processing cannabis offences.'
He takes exception to the commissioner, Sir John Stevens, referring to the scheme as the 'Paddick experiment' when criticism was at its height. As Paddick says, the scheme was sanctioned by 'the commissioner. He subsequently said it was the Metropolitan Police experiment, led by me. Which had a hollow ring, given that I was three months out of Lambeth and I wasn't leading anything'.
Honesty isn't always the best policy. You suspect Paddick is now bitterly aware of it. You also suspect that if there's a psychobabbly reason why Paddick is constitutionally unable to mouth anything less than the truth - 'to sometimes shut up' as one acquaintance bluntly puts it - it has to do with his decades deep in the closet.
Paddick means it when he talks about 'struggling' with his homosexuality. The fight began at school when other boys realised he was gay before he did. Bullying immediately began. 'It was only a couple of incidents, but it only takes a couple of incidents to make you insecure.'
His response was to redouble his efforts to fit in. He excelled at rugby, became captain of the swimming team. It's hard not to see the Met as a continuation of a long process of denial. 'When I went into the Met, going into what was then a very homophobic organisation, I was determined not to make the same mistake again. I went to extraordinary lengths to cover up.'
Like what?
'I got married.'
Paddick wed soon after turning to religion for help with his secret. His desire not to be gay was 'deeply felt'. He hoped God would let him live as a happily married man. After two broken engagements, he may have also hoped marriage would appease his parents, who, reading between the lines, set great store by propriety and had all the prejudices about homosexuality of their generation. Paddick tells the following anecdote: 'When I was engaged to Mark II, as I fondly came to call her, I broke off the relationship because it wasn't working and came home very upset. Mum said, "Oh, what is the matter?" And I rather dramatically placed the engagement ring on the coffee table. And Mum said, "Thank God for that; I thought you were going to tell me you were queer."'
Paddick laughs: 'Perhaps it was Mother's intuition, but nowadays she is my staunchest supporter.'
The marriage lasted five years and ended amicably when Paddick came out. His ex-wife recently wrote a newspaper article in his support. 'It was loyal of her, especially as a paper had pursued her and she'd been secretly photographed by a telephoto lens.'
He still seems to embrace Christian values. There's no proselytising, but Christ comes up in conversation more than once, as does 'humility' and practising what you preach. Small wonder he provokes rage.
After all, we are discussing, according to the Guardian, 'the most investigated senior officer in the history of the Metropolitan Police'. Passing for straight, Paddick's career went from strength to strength. When rumours started to spread that he was gay, a female constable claimed she lost a position with the Brixton Domestic Violence Unit because Paddick's sexuality biased him against heterosexual women.
In November 2000, on the very day of his board promotion to commander, an anonymous letter arrived in the internal post claiming he had misused a police car: 'There are very few people who would know the day of my promotion board. That was the first indication of a serious attempt to undermine my position, that they - whoever they are - were out to get me. It was a fellow officer who told me he had a good idea who had sent it and he supposed I did, too, but I should forget about it. And I let it go.'
Then came a call to the anonymous Crimestoppers phone line alleging that Paddick had tipped off a Soho gay bar, the Shadow Lounge, about a raid by the drugs squad, though no such raid was ever planned. The caller was well informed. Paddick did go to the Shadow Lounge, did sit in the VIP area, did know the bouncer. Though each accusation was judged malicious, it hardly alters the fact that one or more of Paddick's colleagues wanted to ruin him.
So why does he remain in the Met? Rumours that he is off to write a book or enter politics are dismissed, but why not? Or does he believe there's a career still worth chasing? 'I'd need to be given strong reassurances by the commissioner and by the chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority before I can believe that I have any chance of progress. It may be that they can give me reassurances. But I can't see how.'
Then optimism kicks in. 'If you can come through what I've been through, retained your dignity, maintaining the position you've held throughout, then you can cope with most things. If there are any police forces out there looking for a chief constable, someone they know who won't buckle under pressure, well... I've been tried and tested.'

Blessed Easter Season to you. April is a big month for our ministry, and I'll plan to go into more depth in the newsletter, but April 1, Easter Sunday, is during Passover celebrating the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. That's no surprise as we know that Jesus' death and resurrection were accomplished during this festival. It is these events that are the fulfillment of the prophetic events of the Exodus. Our Passover Seder this year hosted over 112 guests, both Jewish and non-Jewish, and both those who celebrated this fulfillment and those who as yet, do not believe. At the end of every Seder, everyone joyfully cries out, "Next Year in Jerusalem," expressing the ancient hope and the modern aspiration of returning to Jerusalem. And those of us who have received the deliverance from sin that Messiah effected, express the sure hope that we will celebrate together in the New Jerusalem too.
But that doesn't keep me from wanting to be in Jerusalem now. It is a beautiful city filled with wonderful people and cultures. But it is a city that is constantly reminded that the world and those in it are full of disdain for this city, country and people. A Jewish lady who is a friend of mine often commiserates about the world's antipathy for the Jews. Her plaintive refrain is often, "Why does the world hate the Jews so much?" And the only answer I can give is that the prince of this world, Satan, hates the Jews because it was the King of the Jews who gave him his greatest defeat. Since that historic Passover, Satan has taken his rage out against both the ethnic and the spiritual family of Jesus.
April 11 is Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. The determined refrain of this day is "Always remember. Never again." In Israel, sirens are heard and everything stops in remembrance of this tragedy that in many ways, led to the establishment of Israel. It is a Jewish homeland that is thought to be a place of safety in the world. Yet, the world's attack on this place of safety is clear evidence of Satan's rage, but he is more subtle than even this. For he continues to blind many of those who survived and those of us who came after to the reality of a holocaust to come in the time to come. We are blessed to be able to serve many holocaust survivors, though their numbers are dwindling. Please keep praying that their eyes would be opened to the truth, that they would truly find their peace in Messiah Y'shua.
May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Messiah, Y'shua!

Westminster Abbey, London
The Dean of Westminster has defended the choice of a prayer in which the prophet Muhammad was described as 'The Chosen One' at the Abbey as "within orthodox Christian worship".
Dr John Hall told Christian Today it was appropriate to offer hospitality to other faith traditions but this did not in any sense "compromise the form and orthodox character of our belief and proclamation."
The Abbey, which is a Royal Peculiar under the personal jurisdiction of the Queen and outside the Church of England's diocesan structures, was criticised by conservative Christians after a Turkish prayer was included in the annual Anzac Day service.
The service, held every year since 1954 and almost every year since 1916, is done with the Australian High Commission and New Zealand High Commission and this year marked the centenary of the ANZAC landings, part of the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey during the First World War. Most of the troops involved were from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Critics noted that God was thanked in the Abbey and referred to as Allah, and there was no problem with that because Allah is simply Arabic for The God. But the congregation also heard a prayer in Turkish which began "Bizleri yaratan" and included the phrase: "Muhamad Mustafa" which means "Muhammad The Chosen One"…

As tv-ooh has previously debated over and over, this here 'structured reality' of Made in Chelsea is often more 'structured' than 'reality', so essentially, it's probably all made up and in doing so Spencer's exploits make great television.
So who's the fool now? Is it Spencer? Or is it Louise? Or is it both of them? Or is it us for watching? The answer is, yes, yes and yes.
And possibly.
But let's not let that stop us now. Instead of debating our own self-worth, how about we look at several of the key characters this season, perhaps in a slightly mocking fashion, and glibly examine their 'story' so far this series.
Spencer began this series by acting like a bell-end, with his infidelity and controlling of girlfriend Louise, who was always on the verge of tears, if not actually sobbing. He was unpleasant and at times resembled, in the words of Millie, a 'fat Baker Boy'. It's true, he looked a bit beefy. But was he acting like a fool? Yes. Has he redeemed himself? Not really, but he's elbowed himself into the role of lead character on the show, so he's done pretty well really, hasn't he.
|Louise: Why ain't you at uni?
So there was a big hurrah - assuming you care enough - when she finally let Spencer go, if only because it was quite a good scene and Spencer got angry. It also gave the very underused Millie something to react to, other than Rosie's blank face.
But then when it was revealed Spence and Louise were still meeting up for sex ('every evening') a nation wept. Or rather, a small portion of Made in Chelsea viewers went onto Twitter and got a bit het up and didn't use apostrophes.
We know not where Louise will end up - certainly not with Andy - but is anyone checking she's still doing her degree? Surely she should have, like, work to hand in and stuff? Turn up for lectures?
But is she a fool? Well, love made her a fool, so yes, but beyond that? No, no, no.
|Lucy: 'Grill' not shown, ho ho
Lucy. Her 'up in my grill' statement last year was what made her stand out. It became like a thing? And everyone needs like a thing? So that became her thing? You know?
Her blossoming friendship with everyone's favourite - Binky - helped rehabilitate Lucy further, and her post-Louise romantic sojourn to Paris with Spencer gives her the opportunity for a few more end of episode confrontation scenes in bars, like the one with Louise and Lucy in episode 6.
We kind of want her to stay away from Spencer, but then if she didn't her scenes would mainly be her in the gym or 'shopping' and that gets quite old, quite quickly, doesn't it. We don't think Lucy is a fool. Anymore.
Cheska. Cheska! Tv-ooh knows people who absolutely hate Cheska which we've always found a bit perplexing. Her abandonment by Binks has resulted in us not seeing her so much - oh how we ache for those pointless scenes of Cheska, Binks and Ollie trying out a new form of exercise or shopping for clothes or doing some madcap scheme for no other reason than they're contractually obliged to, and stuff like that - but Cheska's friendship with gay Ollie (sorry, 'bi' Ollie) remains strong.
|Cheska: Um, yeah...
It all nicely kicked off thanks to Cheska taking offence about something minor or other, and then Cheska acts blameless. We think she needs some love in her life, although seeing how that broke and ravaged Louise, we hesitate. But is Cheska a fool? No she is not, but maybe she should get a proper job.
The new lot: Phoebe, Josh, the other ones - yeah but what about them? For us, they are at the same party as Stevie, Sam (yet to reappear this series, thankfully), Proudlock, Richard, Fredrik and the other more minor characters who don't really have complicated love lives, or very much to say at all, or are not romantically involved with Spencer in some way (or perhaps in some cases just fail to show much on-screen charisma).
Or maybe, more accurately, it's because we don't like change STERN FACE.
So let's give them all a chance.
They've got one week: we will review this situation come the end of series five, and in the meantime, why not go over and remind yourself of all the other drivel we've written about Made in Chelsea here, which, to be honest, we really quite love really.
And actually, for all of Spencer's arsing about, his complicated love life makes good tv, which is why we're all here, after all.
Everyone loves a fat Baker Boy.

Kyle Weiss is King of the Wing
Carber, Kline, and Hostetter are also winners
Kyle Weiss did it and now he will be forever in the history books at "King Kyle the First". Weiss won the RTS Chassis sponsored 270 Micro Sprint feature event. Weiss has lost a race on the final corner in previous races and Friday with lap traffic in front of him and Ross Perchak closing, Weiss needed to make some moves to take his first career Linda's Speedway win. Weiss did just what he had to do to clear the lap traffic and drive to the King of the Wing win. "King Kyle" led every lap with Ross Perchak and Liquid Nitro quick timer Jesse Maurer in chase. Weiss earned the pole passing Maurer in the dash race. Pat Bealer and 21st place starter Brandon Edgar rounded out the top five.
Scott Gingrich finished in the sixth spot while Brent Shearer and Mike Boyer came from outside the top 15 to finish in sixth and seventh.
Mike Skias and Brandon Heist rounded out the top ten finishers. Maurer set quick time, Jacob Hendershot, Pat Bealer, and Gingrich were the heat winners, and Brandon Heist won the consolation race. Other bonus prize winners were Josh Shaeffer and Devin Harron (Awards in Memory of Dj Furney), Mike Skias and Brad Brown (Awards in Memory of Charlotte Hartman), and Kyle Weiss (Leading lap 57 for Kevin Berger). Brandon Edgar was the Amy's Photos hard charger.
The West Side Auto Body Slingshot have only seen one driver win three of the four races of the season; that driver went on to win the championship. Now, that driver's teammate has accomplished the same feat. Cody Kline made a mid-race pass of Kyle Gruber, the only other winner of a Slingshot race this season, on his way to the win. Brett Bieber challenged Kline, but had to settle for second. Gruber finished out the podium with Kenny Heffner and Justin Thompson in the top five.
Jack Lewis, Ronnie Spitler, Brett Spitler, Scott Gray, and Ashley Ebersole rounded out the top ten. Thompson and Gruber were winners for the 17 car field.
Hoosier Tire 600 Micro Sprint heat races set the stage for the main event with the always-entertaining revenge redraw. The redraw works by drivers pulling pill and then giving it to another driver. Brian Carber was given the pole and took full advantage of it. Carber bounced back after a wild wreck a few weeks ago wingless. Carber took the win in dominating fashion over Hayden Miller who scored a career best second place finish. Carber's teammate Steve Whary finished in third. Last week's winner Jerry Schott Jr. was fourth at the checkered flag while the returning Donovan Felker finishing in fifth. Justin Whittall recovered from an early race spin for sixth with Chris Oraschin, Amber Oraschin, Matt Swift, and Zach Bealer built up the top ten. Whary and Chris Oraschin were the heat race winners for the 16 car field.
Troy Hostetter finished the Charger race with a flat tire, but it wasn't enough to stop him from winning the race. Hostetter held off former champions Josh Michael and Chris Smith for the third Charger win of the year. The first two were won by Smith. Harold Smith battled his brother for the podium finish, but finished the race in fourth followed by Rob Pyle. Andrew Davis ran to a sixth place finish with Eric Hollenbach, Charlie Kimmel, Jon Manz, and Ed Lind finishing up the top ten. Hostetter and Kimmel Jr were the heat race winners. The Chargers return at the end of the month for the Jonestown Throwdown.
Friday May 22nd Linda's Speedway is racing again with a five-division show. The RTS Chassis sponsored 270 Micro Sprints, Hoosier Tire Winged
600 Micro Sprints, Dayne's Automotive Modifieds, and Gutshall Automotive 125 Micro Sprints will be in action along with the West Side Auto Body Slingshots in two 15 lap feature races. Also for the first time this year, the Bikes will see the speedway. Bicycle races are open to kids 16 and under with a special adult race vs the racecar drivers. Each racer must have a helmet. Gates open at 5 and Racing is at 7:30, For more information you can visit LindasSpeedway.com, Facebook, or Twitter or you can call the track hotline at (717)865-5330.

text: toxic chemicals Feds To Overhaul Chemical Oversight Rules By Ed Williams • Jun 10, 2016 Lance Cpl. Matthew K. Hacker via Wikipedia / creative commons license Listen Listening... / 3:17 For the first time in 40 years, the federal government is changing the way it regulates toxic chemicals. The new chemical safety act will overhaul a 1970's-era law by giving the Environmental Protection Agency more oversight. U.S. Senator Tom Udall, who sponsored the bill, says New Mexicans don't have any local oversight of dangerous chemicals in household products, which leaves people here especially vulnerable. Shoppers Urge Dollar Stores To Go Nontoxic By Marisa Demarco • Apr 7, 2016 Marisa Demarco / KUNM Listen Listening... / 4:02 Dollar stores are everywhere these days—they're being built at a record pace, according to industry reports. In some rural communities in this state, you might not see any store except a dollar store. A campaign is calling on these discount chains to make sure products are nontoxic.

Bitstream's BOLT Mobile browser surpasses one-million phone install milestone five months after public debut
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts – MobilityWire® – June 23, 2009
Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) today announced that the BOLTTM mobile browser, the company's web browser for mobile phones of all types, has passed a major milestone, achieving its one millionth install just 19 weeks – less than five months – after its public debut.
The BOLT mobile browser, built to be used on a wide range of mobile phones from simple "feature" phones to more advanced devices such as BlackBerry smartphones, has averaged greater than 50 percent growth in usage each month since the application made its public debut at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this past February. Since its introduction, BOLT users have consumed more than 22 terabytes (22,000 gigabytes) of data from 61 million web pages.
"It's been fascinating to see the similarities in how BOLT is being used by people all over the world, despite different geographies, languages and cultures," said Anna Chagnon, president and CEO of Bitstream. "For example, social networking is extremely popular all around the world. In some countries Facebook is the number one website visited by BOLT users, while in other countries Orkut leads. Even though the web destinations may be different, the usage patterns are strikingly similar all over the globe."
BOLT users worldwide are discovering that BOLT's enhanced browsing experience leads them to spend more and more time surfing the web from their mobile phones. More than 20 percent of BOLT users spend 30 minutes surfing the Internet per session, with more than half of those – a figure that continues to grow – spending more than an hour per session. In addition to social networking, search, web-based email and video websites are top ten destinations all around the world.
Built with proprietary compression, navigation and rendering technologies, BOLT enables users to find and read information quickly and easily. Once users have navigated to the specific section of the large web page they are viewing, they can then zoom in to display clear text and images that look crisp on even small mobile phone screens.
People are particularly enjoying the video streaming feature of the BOLT browser – the only mobile browser that lets people enjoy streaming videos on average mobile phones from such popular video services as YouTube, vids.myspace.com, video.yahoo.com, blip.tv, dailymotion.com, metacafe.com and more. Of the total bandwidth used by all BOLT users surfing the Internet, nearly one third was consumed by streaming video.
BOLT's feature set includes:
- Fast, secure, desktop-style web browsing on both high-end and low-end handsets
- Streaming video capabilities
- Split screen and full screen modes for easy navigation and viewing
- Ability to easily add and select favorites and view browsing history
- Intuitive keystroke shortcuts for easier navigation and content selection
- Protection against spyware and malicious or faulty add-ons
- 23:1 compression, which uses less data than competing browsers
BOLT is available for free to anyone as part of its public beta test. Visit http://boltbrowser.com to download BOLT today.
About BOLT:
The BOLT mobile browser, compatible with the majority of the world's 4 billion mobile phones, offers unrivaled speed and desktop-style web browsing including the ability to stream video.

Former Wright Patterson Air Force Base propulsion engineer Mark Reitz lives in Kettering and retired at a relatively young age to reap the rewards of more time for passions like woodworking, bicycling and babysitting his grandson. But he also ramped up his regular visits to Community Blood Center (CBC) to donate platelets, and on Friday, Jan. 17 Mark celebrated his milestone 300th lifetime blood donation.
"I started out donating whole blood back when you used to take the Bloodmobile out to the base, back in the late '70's and early 80's," he said. "They got me switched over to apheresis about 10 years ago."
Automated donations of platelets and plasma require more time, and Mark was glad to give it, even when busy with work. Retirement allowed him to end 2013 with a flourish, determined to make his full 24 annual platelet donations by the end of the year, and launch 2014 with his milestone 100th donation.
"I retired last June after 36 years as a civilian engineer working in the Propulsion Lab," he said. "Almost immediately they hired me back (for consulting), but the longer I've been away, the easier it is to get involved in other things. We have a grandson and we babysit Thursday and Fridays. And I have more time to donate, so now I try to come down once a week."
Mark jokes that his wife wants him out of the house more doing more volunteer work. They are both believers in giving back to the community, especially in times of need. They made three annual trips to Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, working with Habitat for Humanity. "We'd help basically rebuilding homes down there," Mark said.
But after his milestone donation Friday Mark had a clear mission for the rest of the day. "I'll be home babysitting!" he said.

NBA player Jason Collins comes out as gay
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay,"
We're getting closer to having an active out gay athlete in major professional sports.
Jason Collins, an NBA free agent center that spent last season with the Washington Wizards, announced that he is gay in a coming out story and essay for Sports Illustrated.
The defensive-minded, 7-0, 255lb Collins played in 38 games this season between the Boston Celtics and Wizards, but isn't signed with any NBA team going into the 2013-14 season.
If Collins is placed on an NBA roster next season, he will become the first active, out player in any of the 4 professional American sports – the NBA, Major League Baseball, National Football League, and the National Hockey League.
In a letter describing the rationale behind coming out, Collins wrote about his struggle and that he recognized the important precedent he was setting with his decision:
"I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
"I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation," said Collins.
Jason and his twin brother, Jarron, both came into the league in 2001 from Stanford. Jason was drafted with the 18th overall pick by the Houston Rockets while his brother was selected in the second round with the 52nd pick overall and would play for the Jazz, Suns, Clippers, and Trailblazers.
Jason never suited up for the Rockets, as he was immediately traded to the New Jersey Nets where he would become their starting center for the good part of 5 seasons. Collins played a significant defensive role with a team that featured Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Kerry Kittles, Richard Jefferson and the team would take the Los Angeles Lakers to six games in the 2002 NBA Finals.
Coming out in the age of social media has already yielded positive reactions and encouragement from NBA commissioner David Stern, Kobe Bryant, Kenneth Faried, Steve Nash, Spike Lee, Rudy Gay, Chelsea Clinton (who attended Stanford with Collins), Nike, Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld, Kevin Love, Pau Gasol, Earl Watson, Bradley Beal, Martell Webster, former U.S. president Bill Clinton, Emeka Okafor, Manu Ginobili, Nicholas Batum, and scores of other NBA players.
Former NBA player John Amaechi came out in 2007 after retiring from the league. Recently, Brittany Griner, the #! draft pick in the WNBA, nonchalantly mentioned in an interview that she was a lesbian.

Public health officials are urging people to be aware of the potential risks posed by button batteries.
The batteries, which are often found in toys and gadgets, can be extremely harmful if mistakenly swallowed.
Officers say children are particularly at risk as they may mistake a button battery for a sweet.
The campaign is being backed by Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council.
Public health consultant Jasmine Murphy said: "We know these small batteries are often used to power children's toys. It can be hard to recognise if a child has swallowed a button battery, but it is extremely serious because the chemicals released by the battery can cause severe tissue damage. This can lead to severe burns, bleeding and even death.
"If you think a child may have swallowed one of these batteries, it's important to act really quickly. Go straight to A&E for treatment."
People are being warned to keep products with button batteries well out of reach if the battery compartment isn't secure with a screw. They're advised to lock away spare batteries and ensure used batteries are disposed of correctly. They can be recycled safely at any of the county council's 14 sites - including Lake Terrace in Melton. Battery recycling points can also often be found at supermarkets and shops where batteries are sold.
