KC McGinnis | December 18, 2015
Iowans were divided Wednesday during a public forum over a proposal that would help establish a pipeline across the state.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources organized the public meeting to gather input from Iowans regarding whether it should grant a permit to Texas-based Dakota Access, LLC to construct an oil pipeline under publicly-owned lands like the Big Sioux River Complex Wildlife Management Area and the Mississippi River. The meeting was contentious and sometimes heated, according to The Gazette.
While some, including union members, argued the pipeline would provide jobs and a safer way to transport oil than by rail, others expressed concern over the pipeline construction's short-term effects on biodiversity and soil health and long-term effects on water quality and emissions. Science suggests that 80% of known fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground in order to keep climate change under 2 degrees Celsius, well below the goal of 1.5 degrees agreed upon by world leaders at COP21 last week.
Debate over the Bakken pipeline is likely to continue well into next year, with the Iowa Utilities Board reaching a decision on eminent domain sometime in February and the DNR sometime this winter.

BURLINGTON- Week four of The Score Pre-Game Pep Rally was absolutely fantastic.
It's Homecoming Weekend at Burlington High School, and the Grayhounds went nuts Friday, September 14 during The Score Pre-Game Pep Rally on Good Morning Quad Cities.
Special thanks to Sports Physician Amy Nanthan from the Great River Health System, who sponsored our pep rally. She was so energetic and introduced herself to the school and the public early Friday morning.
We learned Nanthan is acrobatic as well. Check out the handstand she did later in the show, before she handed out $5 Target gift cards to the students.
The band, lead by director Derrick Murphy started off our 6 a.m. hour with the school fight song.
They also wrapped up the show with a song from the 1960's. Plus check out the student later on who decided to stand on his friends' hands.
The cheerleaders were at the school at 5 a.m. to get ready for the morning. Coach Cherie Reid talked to us Friday morning while the cheerleaders performed solely.
Finally, Athletic Director Zach Shay talked about their game later Friday night and their Homecoming Dance Saturday. The game starts at 7 p.m. at Bracewell Stadium. The dance Saturday begins at 8 p.m.
Thanks so much to Burlington High School for coming out Friday morning. The kids were messing with me by the end of the morning because I kept telling them, 'Standby! Standby!' They all know the 'broadcast lingo' now that they've been a part of the newscast. I bet you'd we come back if you asked us to in 2019!

Neighbors concerned with proposed church renovations
Next-door neighbors of Noroton Presbyterian Church love hearing the sweet pealing of its bells, but they're a bit concerned about any new noises that may derive out of its proposed renovation.
Noroton Presbyterian applied for a special permit before the Planning & Zoning Commission Tuesday night to construct an addition to and alter the existing church, including modifying the parking lot and playground.
"There really have been no substantial additions to the building since the '50s," said attorney Bruce Hill. "Since the church is 150 years old, it's obviously grown in its membership over the years."
He emphasized that it had outgrown its space.
"The existing uses simply require more space than the church has," he said. "This is not a means of increasing the membership of the church. They simply don't have enough space for the existing programming."
According to architect Dennis Kowal, who's based in Somerville, N.J., the footprint of the building will increase by approximately 6,000 square feet through the construction of a large meeting hall and new entrance at the center of the existing structure. The inside will be renovated, bringing the indoor square footage from 40,527 to 52,669.
"The site will change as well," Hill said. "The plan is to move the existing playground ... to relocate that closer to the actual education space for both security and safety reasons. The parking lot will be reconfigured, though remain at 191 spaces, drainage improvements and new plantings will be introduced, and the lighting of the parking light will be redone to make it less bright and intrusive to neighbors."
Among those neighbors, four spoke to the commission. All expressed their appreciation for the church as a good neighbor, but each shared some misgivings or concerns about the project.
More InformationFact box
"We are concerned just that in doing all this great expansion, that the catch basin might not do the job it was intended to," said Linda Terhune, referencing past instances of flooding at nearby homes.
"We love being a neighbor, but we just want to make sure," she said, asking the commission to be vigilant.
"As a two-time combat veteran, I personally know that plans sometimes don't work out the way you intend they will," said Craig Schorr, an abutting neighbor to the church property.
"If you have a bigger space, you will attract more people to use that," said neighbor Long Zou.
"They have a lot of volunteer stuff, but their activity is limited by the meeting room they have right now," he said. "If they have more meeting room, does that mean they'll have more activity during the day?"
"That means more traffic, more noise around our properties," he said.
"I think some of these things we have heard responses to, but I want to make sure that the neighbors fully understand their concerns are covered," said commission Chairman Joseph Spain.
The application was continued to Oct. 22, after the church will have had a chance to present to the Architectural Review Board.

Finally had a chance to read *The Joy of Technology* by Roy Gray in full, and it is indeed very, very rude. Being an SF story about the future of sex aids, though, it's going to be, and the rudeness never feels gratuitous. I found the story engaging, the characters well drawn, the jokes funny, and the setting depressingly realistic (the sort of father you don't want to have giving his son the sort of coming-of-age present a father shouldn't give).
Complaints? A couple of German spelling mistakes, and a lack of hyphens and commas in appropriate places (at one point the story referred to 'flat speaker panels cum projector screens', and given the subject matter, I found myself wondering what manner of device a cum projector might be). I'm afraid, though, that reality has overtaken art as far as Manchester City are concerned - Roy evidently didn't consider it possible at the time of writing that the Blues might dominate the Reds. Football, like lightspeed experiments under the Alps, has proven JBS Haldane right - the universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we *can* imagine.
Roy's half-page apology for being rude at the beginning of his rude story was also very sweet.
....by 2019 the world seems to have recovered from its zombie problems just in time for TTA PR man Roy Gray to introduce us all to THE JOY OF TECHNOLOGY (Pendragon Press chapbook, 35pp, £3), and those who are easily shocked should take note that this is a sexually explicit work, very much so in fact.Young Dennis estranged father is doing some bonding by taking his son to see their team play in Dusseldorf, and as a special treat before the match he takes him to prap club The Joy of Technology. Prap club, you say. Whats one of those? ......Its an intriguing idea, ... Gray doesnt stint on showing how this kind of adult entertainment could play out in the real world, but theres a serious side to the story. ... Dennis is treated to an experience that he isnt mature enough to place in any proper context, and the boys attitude to the opposite sex is completely changed by what he undergoes... and this is where I have reservations about the work. There is certainly a dialogue to be had on ways in which the sex industry is demeaning to women and the possible effects of sexually explicit material on impressionable minds, but in this particular scenario the change was simply too abrupt and dramatic to be convincing. Regardless, while I feel Gray overstates the case, there is no denying that he does so eloquently and with a powerful message about the ways in which technology is alienating us from each other, ...and the dangers that could lie in wait.

To celebrate the October release of his new novel A Keeper, Eason are delighted to welcome Graham Norton to Dublin and Cork! RTE broadcaster and book club curator Rick O'Shea will chat to Graham about the much anticipated A Keeper, followed by an audience Q&A. These events will take place in The Helix in Dublin on Saturday October 13th and Cork Opera House on Sunday October 14th 2018 at 7pm. The ticket price includes a signed copy of A Keeper.
Cork event - SOLD OUT
Graham Norton's debut novel HOLDING was an Irish bestseller and loved by readers everywhere. His new novel, A KEEPER, is a twisted tale of secrets and ill-fated loves that once again demonstrates Norton's understanding of human nature and all its darkest flaws. The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation. Her mother Patricia had been assumed a spinster, until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town, and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms, but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave. Now, as Elizabeth returns to the village after her mother's funeral, bringing with her own regrets and wounds, she finds a thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of a wardrobe that may at last hold the key to her past: Dear Lonely Leinster Lady, I'm not really sure how to begin...
Praise for Holding, winner of the Irish Book Awards' Book of the Year 2016
'Poised and perceptive' Sunday Times
'Deeply accomplished ... brilliantly observed' Good Housekeeping
'... one of the more authentic debuts I've read in recent years ... in such an understated manner, eschewing linguistic eccentricity ... in favour of genuine characters and tender feeling ... this is a fine novel' John Boyne, Irish Times

Mainstream Nashville's idea of an edgy country act, Neal Coty's second disc is nonetheless more focused on mainstream country sounds than his debut. Coty's biggest problem is that he sounds too much like others and not himself. The opening cut, "Right Down Through The Middle Of Us," is vintage Steve Earle "South Texas Night," conjures up Joe Ely. The Aerosmith-style overblown chorus of "Breathin'," and the trite lyrics of the title track could each be any current male country star from Tim McGraw to Lonestar.
"Sad Eyes," a Bruce Springsteen song recorded last year by Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias, is also given the overdone Michael Bolton treatment, ruining a fine song with a histrionic performance. One bright spot is Coty's take on Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky." An inspired cover given a lean arrangement that plays to Coty's twangier tendencies, it is also his best performance on the disc.
As an artist and writer, Coty is obviously trying to be different, but he needs to escape his influences first.

Meet Leona VanGee a Norwex Consultant in Fredericksburg, Virginia
Hi! HERE ARE SOME KEY REASONS I LOVE MY NORWEX CLEANING SUPPLIES
- NATURALLY ANTI-BACTERIAL: Most of their products (the "anti-bac" ones) are anti-bacterial from the tiny silver particles that are threaded into the fibers. Silver is a naturally antibacterial agent.The basic premise is that the incredible quality of the microfiber picks up even the tiniest particles and organisms when it's wet, ncluding germs, which are then rinsed down the drain when you rinse the cloth out. The cloth then disinfects itself naturally while it dries and awaits your next use. love not having to throw my kitchen cloth in the wash every time I use it.
2. MORE EFFECTIVE: Once I started using a norwex window cloth, I refused to use anything else on all of my stainless steel and glass. It's absolutely incredible. I clean my stainless steel faucet with a regular ol' cloth + homemade cleaning spray… and it's clean (with more scrubbing), but full of streaks and smudgy spots. The Norwex window cloth makes it as shiny as when it was brand new. No kidding. And since shiny things are my favorite, the window cloth is my BFF. It does the same for mirrors and other glass. It impresses the heck right outta me.
3. SIMPLICITY AT ITS FINEST: Norwex products are completely free of harmful chemicals, yet you can use them with only water for maximum efficacy! In fact, soap can clog the fibers, so it's recommended to stick with water. For More info Visit my Norwex website

Hi! I started the Plexus products in March of 2012 and by October of 2012 I was sold that this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Get Prepared for a Wildfire in British Columbia
Many wildfires in B.C. occur far from cities and towns, but sometimes they threaten homes, businesses and vital infrastructure. Help keep your family safe by knowing what to do before, during and after a wildfire. You should also develop your emergency plan, put together your grab-and go-bags and know the difference between an evacuation alert and order.
Wildfire Preparedness Guide (PDF 4MB)
What to do Before a Wildfire
Nearly half of all wildfires in B.C. are caused by human carelessness. You can prevent them by following a few simple rules.
- Check for bans and restrictions;
- Camp responsibly;
- Campfires can't be larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres.
- Keep a shovel or at least eight litres of water nearby to extinguish your fire.
- Create a firebreak by scraping down to the dirt and removing debris at least one-metre around your fire.
- Never leave a campfire unattended.
- Ensure your campfire is completely out and the ashes cool to touch before you leave the area.
- Call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cell if you spot smoke, flames or an unattended campfire;
Personal and property preparedness
- Ensure your home insurance is up-to-date and includes adequate coverage for fire damage.
- Pull together grab-and-go bags for each member of your household in case you have to leave quickly. Don't wait for an evacuation alert or order to get ready.
- Make sure your emergency plan is up to date. Review it with members of your household.
- Protect your property by completing a risk assessment in BC's FireSmart Manual.
What to do During a Wildfire
If a wildfire threatens your home you may receive an evacuation alert or order. It's important to understand the difference.
You are at risk. Leave the area immediately. You are encouraged to register all family members at the nearest reception centre so emergency responders know you are safe.
Be ready to leave on short notice. This is the time to gather your grab-and-go bags and ensure your vehicle has fuel. If you leave before or during this alert, it's called a voluntary evacuation.
All is currently safe and you can return home. Stay tuned for other possible evacuation alerts or orders.
Emergency Support Services During a Wildfire
- If you're evacuated from your primary residence due to a disaster, Emergency Support Services (ESS) may be made available for up to 72 hours or longer depending on your needs.
- Learn more about ESS, who it's for and what you can expect if you're in need.
Your Health During a Wildfire
- Wildfire activity and smoke can result in physical and mental health challenges.
- Learn more about taking good care of yourself and others during wildfire emergencies.
Backcountry Closures During a Wildfire
- Wildfires can impact backcountry recreation, resulting in area closures or restrictions.
- Campers and provincial park visitors should check with BC Parks for fire restrictions and closures. Recreation site and trail users can check with Recreation Sites and Trails BC.
Resources for Farmers During a Wildfire
- Are you involved in farming or ranching in areas that are susceptible to wildfires? Learn more about how to get your farm or ranch prepared and where you can turn for support.
Tracking Wildfire Conditions
What to do After a Wildfire
- If you are evacuated, only return home when authorities say it's safe to do so. Stay out of damaged buildings as hazards may still exist.
- Wildfire activity may increase the likelihood for natural landslides and flooding. Learn about the warning signs by reviewing the Landslide and Flooding Risks brochure (PDF, 1.23MB) and companion sign (PDF, 3.33MB).

To launch his forthcoming album 'Welcome To The Dancefloor', the legendary Blitz Club DJ and former VISAGE co-founder RUSTY EGAN is giving away MARK REEDER's Wilkommen Remix of the title track as a free download.
A dynamically uplifting club number that comes over like GIORGIO MORODER meets DAFT PUNK via THE HUMAN LEAGUE, the track is an interpolation of TENEK' s single 'Blinded By You' from the 2010 album 'On The Wire'.
The new topline was co-written by Egan with Gerard O' Connell, former lead singer of THE RUSHES. Interestingly, the rework by Berlin based MARK REEDER leaves off the original TENEK bass riff.
Reeder said: "I think he was gutted I left out the bassline, but even after many attempts I had to leave it off as it just didn't work. My mix starts like a disco track, then briefly becomes electro, then it's trancey and at the end, it's like a techno track… something for all the dancefloors".
RUSTY EGAN told The Electricity Club back in Summer 2014: "'Welcome To The Dancefloor' is an example of how I have always worked. TENEK had an amazing bassline with synth stabs that grabbed me, but what I could hear was an electro style uplifting track and I wrote this on the roof of the villa in Ibiza … I just looked and thought 'Welcome To The Dancefloor of THE WORLD'. It's here and as a DJ, I am and always was inspired in Ibiza…"
Meanwhile, MARK REEDER's film 'B-Movie: Lust & Sound In West-Berlin 1979-1989' receives its London premiere at The ICA, The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH on SUNDAY 17TH JANUARY 2016 in the Theatre at 3:00 pm – Tickets are £7.00 to £10.00, available from https://www.ica.org.uk/whats-on/lsff-special-event-berlin-b-movie-live
'Welcome To The Dancefloor – Wilkommen Remix' can be downloaded free on The Artist Union from https://theartistunion.com/tracks/4349b3

Traveling for Labor Day weekend? This post is a list of everything you'll need for the long weekend.
First of all, HOW is it Labor Day already!? I swear it was just August 1st; I don't know how an entire month went by! In any case, if you're busy taking care of everyday life, the last thing you need to worry about is what to pack. That said, these 8 items are perfectly mix-and-matchable to take you through three days of casual weekend activities.
- Comfortable shoes
- Distressed Jeans
- Layering Sweater
- Lightweight Tank
- Camo Cargo Pants
- Sunglasses
- Go-Anywhere Backpack
- Chambray Button-Up
The list above contains pieces that can all work together–all of them casual and comfortable for festivals, football games, and family cookouts.
- Day One: Distressed Jeans + Lightweight Tank + Layering Sweater
- Day Two: Camo Cargo Pants + Chambray Button-Up + Layering Sweater
- Day Three: Camo Cargo Pants + Lightweight Tank + Chambray Button-Up
- Day Four: Distressed Jeans + Chambray Button-Up
The key to packing light is sticking with the same color palette. From there, you can mix in a variety of weights and fabrics, and they will all work together. Keep that in mind, and you'll successfully pack everything you need without the stress. Good luck!

There is no excuse for a slow website today. Be it a good user experience or high search engine rankings, fast page load speeds are a must for all websites. Site owners' resort to various techniques and tools to improve the loading times of their websites like optimizing images, keeping the site's code clean, integrating a Content Delivery Network and caching servers, etc. Today, we will talk about how a caching server can enhance the speed of a website and compare two caching solutions – NGINX Caching and Varnish Cache.
Varnish Cache
Varnish Cache is a reverse caching HTTP proxy. It is also known as a front-end web-accelerator and speeds up loading times by 300 to 1000 times. Varnish caches both dynamic and static content between the server and the site visitor. It also allows developers to set policies and rules using VCL or Varnish Configuration Language. Using VCL, developers can exercise complete control over what gets cached and how. Many famous sites like Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, etc. use Varnish Cache.
NGINX Caching
NGINX is an open-source web-server, released in 2004, and offers use as a mail proxy, reverse proxy, load balancer, and HTTP cache. It can improve the speed and performance of your site, particularly in a multiple-application environment.
Difference between Varnish Cache and NGINX Caching
Both Varnish Cache and NGINX help improve the speed of your website but have many differences as explained below:
Varnish Cache
NGINX Caching
|ESI (Edge Side Includes)
|Offers support for ESI.
|Does not offer support for ESI.
|SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
|Does not offer native SSL support.
|Offers native SSL support.
Developers can use VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) and create a caching structure tailored to their needs.
Therefore, Vanish Cache offers high flexibility.
|NGINX is not as flexible as Varnish Cache as no tailored requirements can be implemented.
|Content Purging
|Varnish allows you to purge content as per your requirements and also has an inbuilt mechanism for the same.
|Content purging is not available with NGINX-OSS. But, you NGINX-Plus has this feature.
|Static Content Management
|In comparison, Varnish is not as good as NGINX in managing static content and requires you to add new technologies for the same.
|NGINX is better than Varnish in managing static content particularly when NGINX and the static files are on the same server.
In a quick glance, it is easy to assess that Varnish offers more advanced features which are specific to the cache, while NGINX is more effective when used as a true cache server.
If you noticed, we did not compare the speeds offered by both these solutions. The reason is that the outputs offered by them are in the same range. Before buying a caching solution for your site, it is important to note that every site has unique caching needs and a specific solution. Another way to get caching servers to work for you is by using the services of a Cloud Hosting Provider who integrates Varnish or NGINX as a part of the hosting plan. Remember, the speed of your website is a major contributor to its success.

Concrete stairs covered in powdery dirt looks as grey
as the sky does today.
Seven flights led us out onto the empty roof top.
The smell of dying leaves and flowers coursed through the chilled fall air.
Your hair lifted and pushed from side to side
when the wind changed it's mind.
Ice cream cones in our hands began to melt
causing rivers of vanilla to appear on our knuckles.
Clouds that filled the sky looked as if they were smeared on
with a dull brush and thin paint.
Silhouettes of people in windows who think no one sees them,
taking phone calls from people who'd rather not be seen.
The sun began to fall, we could tell because the greyish
white clouds fell darker, turning to ash.
We were alone there on top of that parking garage,
there was no one left but you and me.

There are a couple of sorts of exercise that could help you to enhance calories expenditure. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This kind of training technique is thought about among one of the most efficient approaches for weight loss, given that it melts a substantial amount of calories, yet takes up the least amount of time. A 15 minute HIIT session can burn to an equal to 30-- 45 minutes walk/jog. For this reason, if you are wanting to melt fat rapidly, HIIT is definitely not to be missed.Fat-burning cardio workouts. Modest strength cardio exercises such as jogging, running, swimming can help you to shed fats, if you are to do it within the "fat-burning zone". The fat-burning area is whereby you body is totally diminished of carbohydrates storage, where it is mainly used up as energy source for the cardio workout. After that, you will certainly have the ability to use fats as the main energy source (which leads to melting fats) instead after a period of time. The only problem on this workout is that it needs a minimum of 30-- 45 mins for it to be reliable.
Resistance training. This is to enable after-burn impact, where there is a raised quantity of calories you shed throughout the day after your workout. This amount of calories shed can be increased (also known as metabolic price), generally within the 24-- Two Days period through resistance training such as weight training. A basic standard to weight loss would certainly be at the very least 150 minutes of exercise weekly. To enhance calories expense, you could enhance your workout strength as well as volume of training (Exercise Regularity). However, if you work out too much, it could cause over-training or even cause injuries. Hence, it is very important to have enough exercise – – not insufficient and not too much.

There are credit cards out there for subprime borrowers, too - it's not just mortgages. That means a new class of supposed victims for reporters like ABC's Chris Cuomo to defend.
Cuomo's segment on the March 27 "Good Morning America" hammered away at the credit card industry, claiming consumers were "getting sucked in by attractive offers" and being "trapped" by "fee-laden cards." He said to him, the whole thing seemed "wrong" and that companies were "squeeeezing" (he drew out the word) cardholders.
"But with these fees - account management, and all these clever names you have for them - that's not about borrowing," Cuomo accused. "That's about squeezing it out of them before the game even begins. Isn't that unfair? Isn't that past the line?" Cuomo pressed Chris Stinebert, president and CEO of the American Financial Services Association.
The story centered on 19-year-old Celina Alvarez, who got a credit card to pay her college tuition but then discovered her purchase wasn't the only charge.
"I didn't understand it to begin with," Alvarez said. "But then when I saw all those little small charges, I was like, that's ridiculous." According to the ABC story, the card included an "$100 origination fee" and a $10.95 charge that Cuomo called a "monthly maintenance fee."
What Cuomo didn't explain, however, is that Applied Bank, which issued Alvarez's card, deals specifically with subprime borrowers who might have trouble getting a credit card otherwise. According to Hoover's, a reputed source of business information:
"Applied Card Systems is the servicing arm for Applied Card Bank (formerly Cross Country Bank), a subprime consumer lender that issues secured and unsecured credit cards to customers with dubious or limited credit histories. Applied Card Systems processes payments from and provides customer service to holders of subprime Visa and MasterCard accounts from offices in Florida and Pennsylvania."Companies that supply such cards have to factor in their clients' credit histories, as Stinebert explained: "Do we make people that are paying on time pay a higher rate and have fewer options, and, or do you make the people that are not making the payments on time have to pay according to what their risk, analyzed, really is?"

Acts 3:11-26 / Ps 8:2, 5, 6-7, 8-9 / Lk 24:35-48
While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, struck with
astonishment, came running to them in Solomon's Porch, as it was
called. When Peter saw the people, he said to them, "Fellow
Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if
it was by some power or holiness of our own that we made this man
walk? The God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our
ancestors has glorified his servant Jesus whom you handed over to
death and denied before Pilate, when even Pilate had decided to
release him. You rejected the Holy and Just One, and you insisted that
a murderer be released to you. You killed the Master of life, but God
raised him from the dead and we are witnesses to this. It is his Name,
and faith in his Name, that has healed this man whom you see and
recognize. The faith that comes through Jesus has given him wholeness
in the presence of all of you. Yet I know that you acted out of
ignorance, as did your leaders. God has fulfilled in this way what he
had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.
Repent, then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out and
the time of refreshment may come by the mercy of God, when he sends
the Messiah appointed for you, Jesus. For he must remain in heaven
until the time of the universal restoration which God spoke of long
ago through his holy prophets. Moses foretold this when he said: The
Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own
people; you shall listen to him in all that he says to you. Whoever
does not listen to that prophet is to be cut off from among his
people. In fact, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel onward,
have announced the events of these days. You are the children of the
prophets and heirs of the covenant that God gave to your ancestors
when he said to Abraham: All the families of the earth will be blessed
through your descendant. It is to you first that God sends his
Servant; he raised him to life to bless you by turning each of you
from your wicked ways."
The two disciples told what had happened on the road and how Jesus
made himself known when he broke bread with them. As they went on
talking about this, Jesus himself stood in their midst. (And he said
to them, "Peace to you.") In their panic and fright they thought they
were seeing a ghost, but he said to them, "Why are you upset and why
do such ideas cross your mind? Look at my hands and feet and see that
it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves that a ghost has no
flesh and bones as I have." In their joy they didn't dare believe and
were still astonished. So he said to them, "Have you anything to eat?"
and they gave him a piece of broiled fish. He took it and ate it
before them. Then Jesus said to them, "Remember the words I spoke to
you when I was still with you: Everything written about me in the Law
of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms had to be fulfilled." Then he
opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he went on, "You
see what was writ ten: the Messiah had to suffer and on the third day
rise from the dead. Then repentance and forgiveness in his name would
be proclaimed to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Now you
shall be witnesses to this.
The Gospel today brings us to the room in Jerusalem where Jesus'
disciples were gathered together. Perhaps they were afraid of what
would come next; their Master was crucified. Or perhaps the disciples
were in confusion and repentance after that day for they did not
remain faithful to him to the end. The two disciples whom the Lord met
on the way to Emmaus were recounting their experience and how that
encounter affected their faith. Suddenly there appeared before them a
figure with an unrecognizable voice who greeted them: "Peace be with
you." In their fright, the disciples perhaps could only think of a
ghost. The voice continues to speak: "Why are you troubled? Look at my
hands and feet. It is I myself. I have flesh and bones as you can see.
Have you anything here to eat?" It was the Lord. He is risen!
As Jesus brought peace to his disciples, he wants to bring this peace
to us also, so that we may become channels of his grace. As
Christians, do we believe that Jesus us risen? How does this
realization affect us?
Because of the forgiveness that we have received from him, would we
also be ready to forgive others? Would we be ready to show and preach
to others God's peace and the teachings of his kingdom?

After one game at Staples Center following a week on the road, the Clippers head to Phoenix on Monday night for a game that will be their 15th on the road this season.
The Clippers had just returned to Staples Center for a game against the Miami Heat on Saturday night knowing they wouldn't be home long.
After they come back from Phoenix to play powerful Toronto on Tuesday night at Staples Center, the Clippers head out for games at San Antonio on Thursday and Oklahoma City on Saturday.
"This is the third time in a row that we've gone on a trip, come home for one game, go back out on the road," coach Doc Rivers said Saturday night. "This one is even crazier. We play at Phoenix and then we play the next night at home and then we go back out on the road. So it's tough to get a rhythm."
The Clippers have a 7-7 record on the road, a big difference from their 9-2 record at home following a 121-98 loss to Miami.
They were tied for having played the third-most road games in the league before Sunday's games.
"Listen, right now I think we're [third] in the league in road games played, third in the league in toughest schedule in the league. So, where we are record-wise is good," said Rivers, referring to the Clippers' 16-9 record that has them fourth in the rugged West, only one game behind conference leader Golden State through Saturday. "And you know that must mean at some point things are going to ease up and so you can make a run. But we've got to get through this stretch right now."
With such a demanding schedule, Rivers said he has tried to give players more rest and to have fewer practice sessions.
"Listen, our schedule is what it is and there's nothing we can do about it," Rivers said. "You're the third tenant" at Staples Center behind the Lakers and Kings. "That's a fight I've given up on a long time ago. I just look at our schedule and I accept it."
"It's tough, but it is the NBA season," Danilo Gallinari said. "This is something that I'm used to it and we have a lot of vets that are used to it. We have no excuses and just got to win every game. It doesn't matter the game, the schedule. It's tough, but it's nothing new to us."
Clippers need energy
The Clippers gave up 65 points to the Heat in the first half, a clear sign to Rivers that the team lacked the necessary energy to compete.
"If we don't come and play with great intensity and play hard. … Like, we're not like some of the other teams that can still win," Rivers said. "We're just not one of those teams. So for us, our energy and how hard we play is part of what we have to do every night to win."
When: Monday, 6 p.m. PST.
On Air: TV: Prime Ticket; Radio: 570, 1330.
Update: The Clippers have defeated the Suns nine consecutive times, L.A.'s second-longest winning streak against an opponent. Phoenix has the worst record in the NBA (4-22) and is the worst scoring team (102.2 points per game). Suns center Deandre Ayton is second in the league among rookies in scoring (15.8 points) and first in rebounds (10.1).

Henry Poole Is Here1.5 Stars
- Director
- Mark Pellington
- Cast
- Luke Wilson, Adriana Barraza, Radha Mitchell, Morgan Lily
- Rated
- Runtime
- 101 min.
- Release Date
- 08/15/2008
Henry Poole Is Here takes itself so seriously even the title features a capitalized "Is" just so you know every last word is important. It tells the story of dying man Henry Poole (Luke Wilson). He buys a house and plans to dwindle away, all alone, drowning himself in junk food and booze, waiting for The End to come. His plans for self-pity and a lonely demise are thwarted by relentless neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barraza). Much to the annoyance of Henry, she believes a water stain on his house bears the face of Jesus, and that it will answer her prayers.
His sulking is interrupted by Esperanza's churchgoer friends kneeling before the image, which is vague enough to dismiss or interpret as a face. But when one of its eyes bleeds a single drop of blood, things get serious, and the church is called in to determine if it's a bona fide miracle. Meanwhile, Henry gets involved with his neighbor Dawn (Radha Mitchell) and her daughter Millie (Morgan Lily), who doesn't speak. And for some reason the virtually blind grocery checkout girl named Patience (Rachel Seiferth) starts pestering Henry too. All these characters enjoy miracles from their interaction with the face on Henry's wall, and force him to reevaluate his situation and hopefully believe in something profoundly optimistic.
Wilson gives an affecting performance, but this self-destructive, miserable and sarcastic waif Henry is a role he's played before, and with a more enjoyable outcome in The Royal Tenenbaums. I like Luke Wilson. His best work will probably always be done with Wes Anderson, director of Rushmore and The Darjeeling Limited. Anderson gave the Wilson Brothers (the other being Owen) their start in Bottle Rocket. Owen has made a career of dumb comedies, while Luke can't seem to find his niche. It's regrettable, really, because he has amazing potential that's misspent on junk like My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Whereas his intensity is one of the only reasons the horror film Vacancy (something wholly unique in Wilson's career) worked; that intensity is rarely seen, unfortunately so.
The satisfaction you take away from the film depends largely on your belief system, though other critics would have you believe that no religious conviction is required. And yet, religious or not, you must believe in miracles. But aren't miracles inherently religious? Agnostics and atheists would likely not specify, and instead, reduce a "miracle" to a freak occurrence or welcomed happenstance. For those pessimists in the audience, the film's talk of miracles comes off as over-sentimental, if not deluded and comical. When the camera points into the sky, rays of light bursting from behind the clouds, and young Patience announces, "I can see the light," it's nearly impossible for any non-religious viewer to buy such hokey storytelling.
Several of director Mark Pellington's films require the audience buy a certain belief system, where, should you not believe in said system, the respective movie fails. I felt the same way about Henry Poole Is Here as I did toward Pellington's 2002 thriller The Mothman Prophecies, a movie wherein a series of psychic visions are assumed to be either an angel, or a giant half-man half-insect—but it's all based on interpretation and faith. More successful was Pellington's 1999 shocker Arlington Road, a paranoid experience that toys with our belief that terrorists could be anywhere at anytime (it's effect in post-9/11 society is even more compelling). Some of his films work, others fail miserably. This is one of the latter.
Whether Pellington's film is an attempt to cash-in on the recent breakout success of highly Christian-themed movies (The Passion of the Christ, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) I cannot say, as the plotting is subtle aside from the noted examples above. It's a shame, really, because the first half is quite funny and occasionally tender. Perhaps the fault is mine, for lacking faith—if by "faith" you mean the belief that a message film about hope could ever escape the corny depths where this one wallows. If so, consider me faithless.

Budget 2008 – how to make a financial crisis seem dull, by Carl Malways
Today saw the announcement of Alistair Darling's first budget. Not the most interesting budget because the Chancellor had little room to manoeuvre. On the one hand, the government is becoming increasingly unpopular which is stopping them from making any major steps towards raising taxes. On the other hand, the Treasury has overspent in previous years, which has reduced their ability to increase spending now the economy is entering a period of slower growth – and could really do with a little help from the Government.
