So it's come to this. The relationship between Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers organization has apparently deteriorated to the point that it's become a foregone conclusion that the coach will not return for the final year of his contract in 2015. How does a coach who has won 43 regular season games (and technically counting) in less than four years get the axe? A coach who has won five playoff games (and definitely not counting) in three years will be handed his walking papers. A coach who has amassed the fourth best winning percentage in the modern era of football will be without a job (unless traded) in the very near future. The fact that Harbaugh has produced such historically successful results yet is not going to coach the 49ers next season speaks to the level of disconnect there is between Harbaugh, the front office and the players on the field. Harbaugh's offense has hit a wall in his fourth season and the almost daily drama that's included in the Jim Harbaugh package has become too much for the team and the organization to handle. On the surface it seems insane, but it appears that Coach Harbaugh has finally worn out his welcome in San Francisco.
You don't have to look far for a very appropriate comparison to what is going on between Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers. Last season the Golden State Warriors made the very difficult decision to let then head coach Mark Jackson go after a second straight successful season. Up until Jackson took over as the Warriors coach Golden State had been one of the worst franchises in all of sports for roughly two decades, making the playoffs just once in 17 seasons. Jackson took over the Warriors and by his second season the team had already won a playoff series. In his third year the once destitute team won 51 games and established themselves as one of the most exciting young teams in the entire NBA. However, Jackson had repeatedly clashed with the front office over his assistant coaches, which led to a issues between the owner, the GM and the head coach. Plus, while the team was playing well, some felt that they still hadn't reached their potential. Most viewed Jackson as a master motivator, but questioned the coaches savvy when it came to player usage and calling the right plays in the right situations. Well here we are a half a year later and 49ers owner Jed York finds himself in a very similar situation. Harbaugh took over a team in 2011 that had not been to the playoffs or even enjoyed a winning record in eight years. Things immediately changed under Harbaugh and the 49ers have been one of the most dominant teams in the NFL under his watch. But despite the winning on the field, Harbaugh and York have reportedly not seen eye to eye on several matters off the field. The schism between Harbaugh and York would seemingly be the main reason as to why a coach with such a historically great beginning to his career was never signed to a huge contract extension, even after leading the team to a Super Bowl.
Another reason why Harbaugh's star is shining less and less brightly these days has to do with the woeful performance of the 49ers offense. During the majority of their recent run of success, the 49ers mostly relied on a top flight defense and an offense that was just good enough to win games. This season the defense has continued to perform at it's usual outstanding level, an amazing feat considering the amount of games missed by some of the NFL's great defensive stars. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio might be the best in the business as his unit has finished in the top three in points allowed in each of his first three full seasons with the 49ers. Fangio's defense has, for the most part, been the backbone of the franchise. The teams offense, constructed by Harbaugh with help from OC Greg Roman, has been hit or miss over the last almost four seasons.The first incarnation under Harbaugh was a grinding ground and pound attack, led by the running of Frank Gore and a cautious Alex Smith at QB. When Smith was injured halfway through the following season, the QB position was taken over by Colin Kaepernick. The latter half of 2012, including the post season, was really the only time that Harbaugh's offense was truly outstanding. Behind the dynamic Kaepernick the team averaged almost 35 points a game in the playoffs and Super Bowl. In 2011 Smith finished 30th in the NFL in passing yards per game. Just a year later and in his first year as the starting QB no less, Kaepernick threw for 300 yards in a playoff game and again in the Super Bowl. The future seemed extremely bright for the 49ers offense.
The promise of 2012's offense was never delivered upon. In 2013 the 49ers struggled their way to a 24th overall ranking in yards per game. This season they are even worse, once again in 24th place in yards per game and 26th in points. The current offense struggles to accomplish anything against even the most porous defenses in the NFL. Each week seems to bring a new low point. 17 points against a Washington defense that allows 26.6 a game. 13 versus an Oakland defense that concedes 26.9 points a game. The offensive line can't effectively run block or pass protect, the receivers can't get open and the QB's play has deteriorated as the season has gone on. The offensive coaching staff has been thoroughly out coached for several games in a row. The 49ers faced Seattle on Thanksgiving night for the eighth time in four seasons under Harbaugh. The Seahawks did nothing out of the ordinary defensively, rarely blitzing or deviating from their very well known (especially to SF) cover 3 look. Yet, the 49ers offense was shockingly unprepared for a defense they've played against on multiple occasions and seen on film dozens of times. Each recent regular season loss San Francisco has suffered to Seattle has been embarrassing to some degree, but putting up three points on your home field in a highly anticipated national TV broadcast against your arch rivals is a travesty. In short, the entirety of Jim Harbaugh's offense is a complete mess, from top to bottom.
Matt Bowen of Bleacher Report:
"Overall, there are multiple issues with this unit in San Francisco. From the play-calling to the offensive line, this thing has layers. And, in my opinion, that has limited the development of Kaepernick to a degree in a system that used to cater to his abilities in the past.
The quarterback hasn't progressed, and while he has to take the responsibility for that as a pro, I can't just point the finger at Kaepernick for the lack of offensive production in San Francisco. This is a collective problem that has resulted in a disappointing season…"
Bill Barnwell of Grantland
"...It's a team problem on the San Francisco offense. The 49ers are a mess in just about every way an offense can be a mess."
As far as using the players the coaches have at their disposal, the offensive staff seems to have no clue as to what they're doing in this area either. Brandon Lloyd, for reasons that haven't been explained, received the most targets of any receiver versus Seattle. The next game against Oakland he was inactive. The team traded for Stevie Johnson in the off season in hopes of bolstering the receiver group. Johnson showed flashes of being very effective and most importantly, having an instant rapport with Kaepernick. In week three versus Arizona Johnson had 9 catches for 100 yards. The following week he only played 14 snaps and the week after that he played just 5. Despite only playing 19 snaps in two weeks, he still managed to catch a touchdown pass in each game. So why does a player who has clearly been a desperately needed weapon on a struggling offense only manage to get on the field for 34% of the teams snaps on the season? Johnson was hurt in week 7, but was barely seeing the field well before his injury. GM Trent Ballke has acquired countless players in the last four season that the offensive coaches have struggled to integrate into their system. LaMichael James goes from being a second round draft pick and seeing significant playing time in the Super Bowl to being inactive for a large portion of the following season. The next year's second round draft pick Vance McDonald has played 23 games in his career and has 10 catches. Kendall Hunter gained almost 500 yards his rookie season and looked to be a perfect compliment to Gore in the backfield. Hunter averaged 5.2 yards a carry in his second season and 4.6 in his third. Despite his increased effectiveness Hunter's carries began to dwindle. Hunter carried the ball 78 times in 2013, down from 112 in 2011. This culminated in last season's NFC Championship game when Hunter out gained Gore despite only having 3 carries to Gore's 11. This year's second round draft pick Carlos Hyde has less rushing yards than Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles and former 49er emergency RB Boobie Dixon. Contrast this with the defense where lightly regarded, rookie, mid round draft picks like Dontae Johnson, Aaron Lynch and Chris Borland have received significant playing time and there has been little discernible drop off. The defensive coaching staff has done far more with the players Baalke has provided than the offensive coaches have.
Jim Harbaugh has been a revelation as head coach of the 49ers. During his tenure as head coach the franchise has been completely revitalized and is once again an elite NFL team. It seems ludicrous to even think about firing the coach with the fourth best winning percentage in modern league history. Despite all this Jed York and the 49ers front office seem to be left with no choice. Maybe we are spoiled. Maybe three seasons of success has made us forget the rough times, the Erickson/ Nolan/ Singletary era. But Jim Harbaugh is not completely irreplaceable. The unquestioned strength of this team during Harbaugh's tenure has been Vic Fangio's defense, which Harbaugh has nothing to do with beyond bringing Fangio along with him from Stanford. Retain Coach Fangio and retain the core strength of your franchise. One might wonder if a new head coach would be less than thrilled to have half of a staff already in place when he took the 49ers job, therefore not being able to handpick his own defensive coaches. On the flip side, a new hire might be ecstatic at inheriting one of the best, if not the best, defensive minds in the entire NFL. Harbaugh is quite obviously an amazing head coach, but the offense that he oversees has struggled for quite some time. If he has burned all his bridges in San Francisco then it"s time for the team to move on. A steadying, less abrasive presence would do the team good after the drama that's unfolded week after week in 2014. Jim Harbaugh will go down as one of the greatest head coaches in 49ers histroy, which is really saying something. When the Warriors fired Mark Jackson they needed to make sure their next hire was an unquestioned home run. So far that decision is looking pretty solid. Here's hoping Jed York and Trent Baalke make a similarly wise decision and the new coach can take the reins and win the one prize that Harbaugh could never get his hands on, the Vince Lombardi trophy.

©2011 Women in Film & Television - TorontoFor those of you with an interest in gender and media, digital media, and opening up opportunities in digital media production to more women and girls, please be sure to check out the upcoming International Women in Digital Media Summit (iWDMS), which will be held October 23-25 (2011) in lovely Stanford Ontario. Organized by Women in Film & Television – Toronto, this three-day conference aims to provide networking opportunities and knowledge sharing, panels and presentations by a variety of national and international digital media experts. Here's an excerpt from the summit website:
Why Women? From gaming, to social media, to cross-platform and transmedia storytelling, the digital media landscape is evolving to include the female demographic in key roles as consumers, producers and decision-makers. Featuring more than 50 high profile presenters, the iWDMS will explore the expanding roles and impact of women within digital media businesses.
The roster of speakers is really amazing - including an opening keynote by Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post), and an "in conversation" dinner with Ubisoft's Jade Raymond and Carolyn Lawrence (CEO at Women of Influence). I'm participating on a panel on New Media Literacies: The Role of Women in Creating Balances and Futures on day 2 of the conference with Ilona Dougherty (Co-founder and Executive Director of Apathy is Boring) and Kaliya Hamlin (Coproducer of the Internet Identity Workshop)...both of whom run such incredibly cool projects that I can't wait to hear more about. The event is starting to get some coverage from the media (e.g. in Techvibes), and promises to be a very unique and exciting event all around (with the added bonus of a bunch of extracurriculars, including an outing to a performance of Camelot and a pub night).
The early-bird registration deadline is this coming Friday (Sept. 23), but regular registration will remain open for a few more weeks. Hope to see some of you there!

Muddy Waters had a great ear for talent and accordingly the formation which you will hear on this DVD was one of the very best: The pianist Pinetop , the drummer Willie Big Eyes Smith , the bass player Calvin Jones , the two guitarists Luther Guitar Jr. Johnson and Bob Margolin and the harmonica player Jerry Portnoy. At the Rockpalast recording on December 10, 1978 at Westfalenhalle Dortmund, Muddy Waters still was at the height of his creative power, his mighty vocals and his splendid charisma on stage fascinated the audience. Muddy's guitar playing on the Fender Telecaster especially comes into full effect with his typical slow blues solos - and seldom had Muddy such a hot sound as in this TV recording of the WDR.
The song selection of the evening consisted of several of his biggest hits which probably are standard discipline of each evening (Hoochie Coochie Man, Walkin' Thru The Park, a superb version of the macho hymn Mannish Boy and, of course, the immortal Got My Mojo Workin'), but also less performed titles like Soon Forgotten by St. Louis Jimmy Oden or Country Boy, both atmospheric slow blues with slide. When the Muddy Waters Tribute Band appeared at the Rockpalast Open-Air at the Loreley on June 23, 1996 (bonus content DVD2), the pianist Pinetop Perkins could unfortunately not travel due to medical reasons and Jerry Portnoy was replaced by blues harper Carey Bell who had already played in Muddy's band in early 1970. All band members switch with the vocals and in Gone To Main Street The Band's Levon Helm is to be heard as a guest singer.
Naturally, the repertoire consists mainly of Muddy Waters classics but also songs of Jimmy Reed, two titles that have become known through Albert King and one original composition of the drummer Willie Smith were on the set list.

Taking the John James Audubon Bridge, rather than follow LA-1 from New Roads, LA-61 took me into Baton Rouge past the Exxon-Mobile plant. The flame burning off the excess gas made me think of the Olympic Flame, and I wondered if this was where Jack worked back in the 50s.
A quick stop for gas at the beginning of I-12, I figured Rosie would make the Mississippi Welcome Center with no problem. She did, and flipped to reserve as we were pulling out of the parking lot! Having been assured there was "lots of gas" on the US 90 scenic route and I kept a close watch for filling stations. Bay St. Louis was within eyesight when she sputtered ... coasting ... a gas station came into view ... and somehow we made it to the pumps! Regular only, so be it!
There were gorgeous homes along the road to Long Beach, with evidence of rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina becoming more apparent the closer we got to Biloxi. So many times I've passed the sign for BeauVoir on I-10 telling myself "someday ...". This was the day! Too late for the last tour, I wandered the grounds taking pictures. Back in the gift shop, I overheard a woman speaking of the harp. She had been told it was washed out to sea with Katrina, but she had photos of it being removed from the home during the first days of salvage! Those photos allowed for its recovery, and I had seen it through the windows as I explored. So much was lost with the storm that I wonder how much of the home needed restoration.

Ayn Rand was always there first. She articulated the fundamentals of metaphysics and epistemology that govern the continuance of human existence. The statements above are spoken by some villains after they have heard John Galt's speech in Atlas Shrugged. They reveal the dead-end of the kind of consciousness that refuses to acknowledge the existence of anything and everything, including speeches, of a consciousness that wishes A to be non-A at the same time, to be militantly certain of nothing in order to reshape reality to the need of the moment.
That same species of consciousness has also been charged with the security of the U.S. against Islamic jihad. It was formulating policy long before 9/11, decades before that, as jihadists of various gangs hijacked and blew up planes, murdered Americans and other Westerners, and extorted concessions from us throughout the years from the 1960's. But one of its benchmarks is President Bush's so-called "war against terrorism."
What is a policy? According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary, it is "prudent conduct, sagacity; course or general plan of action (to be) adopted by government, party, person, etc."
What we have had for the last twenty years could be called an anti-policy, because there seems to be no general plan of action that has ever been adopted by any Western government, particularly the U.S. government, except one of abject, pragmatic appeasement and pseudo-conciliation.
An Accuracy in Media report of May 21, "Unresolved U.S. Strategy on Jihad and the War of Ideas," perfectly demonstrates the anti-ideological nature of our foreign policy.
"Last fall, Sen. Joe Lieberman questioned the FBI, the DHS, the Director of National Intelligence, and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) about their organizations' role in the 'war on ideas' against Jihadists. The answer was a giant shrugging of shoulders.If a "war of ideas" is a legitimate way to combat a mortal enemy, why should a "foreign connection" make a difference? It is the "foreign connection" - Islam - that is the root of the "war." It gets worse.
"...FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III revealed during the hearing that the FBI has no counterideology response other than its 'outreach' to Muslim-American communities so they 'understand the FBI and 'address the radicalization issue.' Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff also said nothing is being done domestically to battle Islamist extremist ideas....Retired Vice Adm. Mike McConnell, director of national intelligence, said the intelligence community does not conduct any battle of ideas against terrorists...unless there is a foreign connection."
"...[W]hen the NCTC Acting Director Michael Leiter had a confirmation hearing with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Mr. Leiter brought up the issue of a 'war of ideas,' a reasonable person might have expected some discussion as to organizational responsibilities and goals. Mr. Leiter stated 'we must have an equally robust effort in what many term the "War of Ideas."' But Mr. Leiter offered no organizational ownership or goals other than seeking to respond to al Queda's use of mass media and Internet technologies, 'we must engage them on this front with equal vehemence - and we can do so in a way that makes quite clear how bankrupt their extremist ideology is.'""What many term the 'War of Ideas'?" To Mr. Leiter's mind, this "strategy" is as subjective and arbitrary as a choice between card games, say, between canasta and bridge. It is completely optional, more like a public relations campaign to put something over on a recalcitrant opponent. But, which ideas does he propose to engage the enemy on with "equal vehemence"? None were discussed at the hearing, nor have any ever been discussed anywhere in Foggy Bottom, except to "win the hearts and minds" of Muslims everywhere by expending blood and treasure on good intentions.
Well, that campaign had a partial success. The Iraqis certainly bought the idea of "democracy," and voted themselves a mongrel government based largely on Sharia law, complemented by a smidgen of secular statist legislation.
Further, Leiter is the pot calling the kettle black when he claims that Islam's "extremist ideology" is bankrupt. One can imagine that he regards the philosophy of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness as an "extremist ideology" that was "hijacked" by the Founders. (Historically, that was more or less the position taken by the Crown and American Loyalists in the Revolutionary period.)
The Senate Select Committee did not think it relevant to question Leiter on the wisdom of the NCTC's recommendation that the government refrain from using "insensitive," "provocative," or "counterproductive" language when referring to jihadists, "nor did it have any questions on the NCTC Extremist Messaging Branch recommendations on not defining the enemy..." (See "State Department Goodthink," April 29). Nor did it think it pertinent to delve into the agency's function.
"At Mr. Leiter's confirmation hearing, there was little reported discussion of what 'strategic operational planning' NCTC provides, or what NCTC's role in the 'war of ideas' is."Leiter, of course, was confirmed by a panel of politicians whose non-extremist ideology is compatible with his own. Committee chairman John Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia), told Leiter, "You're kind of an ideal of what a public servant should be." Leiter is also a lawyer, more concerned with "civil liberties" than with defeating and eradicating the enemy.
The AIM article, commenting on the purged lexicon of terms which Leiter is now editor of and which his agency promulgated, and which Bush endorses, concluded, "we continue to have an enemy whom we won't define and whose ideology we won't understand."
Our anti-policy claims that the enemy and his messages aren't real, although the policymakers seem to have heard something, they couldn't help it, but they don't need to believe it, and neither should Americans, who should just go on as if nothing had ever happened.
So, apparently every federal agency charged with the responsibility of defending this country is party to a game of blind man's bluff. In the meantime, our jihadist enemies, soft and hard, are fully focused on what they want to accomplish: the conquest and subjugation of the West. (And that is aside from what any of the three presidential candidates propose in the way of their statist solutions to all the government-caused problems within the country.)

Since the Arab uprisings of 2011, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have used their considerable resources to promote authoritarian governments run by military strongmen in the region. They helped crush Bahrain's uprising, bankrolled a return to military dictatorship in Egypt, armed a rogue military leader in Libya and mismanaged a democratic transition in Yemen before launching a destructive war there.
A ghastly new chapter in the Saudi and the Emirati counterrevolution against democratic movements in the region is unfolding in Sudan, whose generals have unleashed terrible violence on supporters of democracy.
On the morning of June 3, Sudanese armed forces attacked sit-ins in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere, killing more than 100 people and injuring over 500. Even though the internet has been largely blocked, reports and videos have trickled out: bloodied protesters being carried away to makeshift first-aid stations; heartbreaking accounts of gang rapes of doctors; disfigured bodies of protesters pulled out of the Nile; protesters burned in their sit-in tents.
The two men ultimately responsible for the troops who committed these atrocities are Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, known as Hemeti, who are heading the Transitional Military Council that replaced the ousted longtime president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir. General Hamdan leads the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary force created by rebranding the janjaweed militias that conducted the genocide in Darfur.
The crackdown came after weeks of negotiations between protest leaders and the military council reached an impasse. The protest leaders wanted the military to immediately hand over power to civilians; the council insisted on military rule until elections, promised to be held within nine months.
Protesters feared that elections under the military council would neither be free nor fair, but simply a cover to legitimize the appointment of a new military dictator — essentially repeating what happened in Egypt in 2014 when Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi won by 97 percent. Mr. el-Sisi rose to power after the Egyptian Army killed up to 1,000 largely unarmed protesters at a sit-in at Rabaa Square in Cairo in 2013. Parallels to Egypt were not lost on the Sudanese protesters, who had been chanting, "Either victory or Egypt."
Sudan's democracy advocates also feared that the very forces that catapulted Mr. el-Sisi to power in Egypt would be pulling the strings in Sudan. Before and after the Rabaa massacre, Egypt received diplomatic support and billions of dollars of financial assistance from two wealthy Arab monarchies: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
General al-Burhan and General Hamdan have had a close working relationship with the Saudi and Emirati leadership since at least 2015, having been directly involved in the Saudi-led war on Yemen. General al-Burhan has been overseeing Sudan's more than 10,000 ground troops in Yemen. These troops include thousands of militiamen from the Rapid Security Forces headed by General Hamdan.
When Mr. al-Bashir was besieged by popular protests in early April, Sudanese military leaders thought it was time to sideline him. A delegation traveled to Cairo to secure political and financial support from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which disapproved of Mr. al-Bashir's ties to Islamists and his outreach to Turkey and Qatar. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates followed up by reaching out to General al-Burhan and General Hamdan.
After the Transitional Military Council assumed power, the Saudis and the Emiratis made their influence soon felt: On April 21, they approved $3 billion in aid to Sudan, in a bid to strengthen the council. Yet in the weeks after, protesters continued to increase the pressure, as the number at sit-in camps swelled even as tense negotiations continued.
In late May, General Hamdan met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed his commitment to a close alliance with the kingdom. General al-Burhan met Mr. el-Sisi in Cairo and the United Arab Emirates' de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Zayed, in Abu Dhabi. They seemed to return home emboldened: They declared the breakdown of negotiations with the Sudanese opposition, rejected calls to hand over power, declared the sit-in camps to be "a threat to the national security of the state," and banned Al Jazeera from reporting in Sudan.
Then came the June 3 attack on the protesters, which carried echoes of the assault on Bahrain's Pearl Square protest camp in 2011 and the Egyptian massacre. Videos uploaded on social media by citizen journalists clearly showed Emirati-manufactured military gear deployed by Sudanese militias. Influential Saudi-controlled accounts on Twitter expressed their support for Sudan's military leaders and warned against the "folly" of popular uprising.
The Saudi and Emirati reactionary role in Sudan and their influence over the Transitional Military Council's actions was highlighted by the reaction from the United States. After the killings, the under secretary of state for political affairs, David Hale, called the Saudi deputy defense minister Khalid bin Salman and the United Arab Emirates' foreign minister, Anwar Gargash, to express concern over the crackdown and to note "the importance of a transition to a civilian-led government in accordance with the will of the Sudanese people."
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates claim that their interventions have been aimed at staving off Islamist extremism and promoting regional stability. But Sudan's uprising against Mr. al-Bashir is an uprising against political Islamists; the protest leaders who have been negotiating with the military council are not Islamists. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are instead driven by their own fear that should a major Arab country transition to democracy, it would lead to upheavals at home.
With Sudan's Arab neighbors under Saudi and Emirati sway, with the United States doing little beyond expressing concern, it has fallen to Ethiopia's prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, to take the lead in mediation between the military council and the opposition. And outraged at the killings in Sudan, the African Union has suspended Sudan's membership and called for a civilian-led transitional government.
But as long as the military junta has political and financial support from the Saudis and the Emiratis, it will have little reason to back down. The protest leaders continue to be committed to nonviolence despite another round of attacks by the Sudanese forces on Sunday to thwart a general strike. Sudan's opposition is embattled, hurting but defiant.

Gauthier and Allen are furthermore present at related events and talk, which includes being panelists at the Annual Marshall Macluhan honorary lecture.

This is a curatorial and organizational collaboration between transmediale and LEAP (Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance), where the internet-based non-profit Art Hack Day, as a grassroots event/exhibit format/community for artists whose medium is tech and hackers whose medium is art, has been invited. This event gathers more than 70 participants working intensively for 48 hours to come up with an instant exhibition that responds to the thematic framework of afterglow.

Find a congregation
The Apostolic Christian Church is a brotherhood of believers that earnestly seeks to interpret the Bible literally. The teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostles serve as the foundation of our doctrine and guide our members' daily lives.
We have approximately 90 congregations in the United States, Japan, Mexico and Canada. The strongest concentration of Apostolic Christians is in the Midwest. Total membership is approximately 12,000 with regular attendance of about 22,000.
Although not under the same organizational structure, we do fellowship with many "sister" congregations throughout Europe, where our church was founded. Most of our North American members have Swiss or German backgrounds, which has influenced our culture in many ways.
Our origin does not date all the way back to the Radical Reformation, but our founder, Samuel Froehlich, was influenced by the Sixteenth Century Anabaptists, whose doctrinal motto was "Sola Scriptura." This meant that Scriptures alone constituted the basis for doctrine and life - and they were to be followed.
We regard the entire Word as infallible and inerrant and have endeavored over the years to diligently follow New Testament teachings.
In Europe, the church was known as Evangelical Baptist. It later became known as Apostolic Christian in America. This name was chosen because the church follows the teachings of Christ and the Apostles.

Are You Experiencing Knee Pain?
Learn about types of knee injuries, treatment options, and robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery
There are no upcoming seminars at this time. Please check back later for additional events or call us at (904) 543-6413 for more information!
Using traditional surgical methods, cutting blocks or guides are placed on the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia) to help direct a surgical saw in removing the diseased bone and cartilage. This method has been considered technically challenging, as accurately placing these blocks can be difficult. In recent years, advanced surgical techniques using robotic assistance have been developed to provide a higher level of accuracy and precision.
Robotics Assistance Provides Accuracy and Precision
This system is an advancement in the way our orthopedic surgeons perform total knee replacement. The system works in conjunction with our surgeon's skilled hands to achieve the precise positioning of the knee implant based on each patient's unique anatomy. This added level of accuracy can help improve the function, feel and potential longevity of the knee implant.
Through an advanced computer program, the robotics system provides assistance that relays precise information about your knee to a robotics-assisted handpiece used by our surgeons during the procedure. By collecting patient-specific data, boundaries are established for the handpiece so we can remove the damaged surfaces of your knee, balance your joint, and position the implant with greater precision.
Advanced Instrumentation
Designed to enforce bone resurfacing within surgeon defined plan
Computer Assistance
Designed to ensure consistent and accurate results
Robotics-Assisted Handpiece
Designed to enable access through smaller incisions

Bhojpur: A joint team of the NIA and the Uttar Pradesh Police, carrying out searches in Ghaziabad today in connection with the killing of an RSS leader in Punjab, was fired upon and pelted with stones by a mob, leading to injury to a policeman, the agency said.
Giving details, a National Investigation Agency (NIA) spokesperson said that during the course of an investigation into the killing of RSS leader Ravinder Gosain in Ludhiana, investigators came across the names of certain suspected arms smugglers who had supplied firearms to the accused in Punjab.
An NIA team, with the assistance of the state police, conducted searches to apprehend the suspected arm suppliers in Meerut district during the intervening night of December 2 and 3, the spokesman said in a statement.
On getting more leads, further raids were conducted at the residence of suspect Malook at Nahali village in Ghaziabad this morning.
During the raid, a large crowd of men and women tried to obstruct the police and NIA team and some people opened fire on them, resulting in injury to Uttar Pradesh Police constable Tahjib Khan, besides damage to official vehicles, the spokesman said.
The firing was followed by stone pelting and the mob also staged multiple road blockades to obstruct the officials in discharge of their duties.
In self-defence, the UP Police and NIA personnel also fired in the air, the spokesman said, adding that two suspects are currently being questioned regarding their alleged involvement in the case.
Efforts are being made to locate Malook who is wanted in connection with the supply of arms and ammunition used in the killing in Punjab.
On November 30, the NIA registered the case to probe the killing of Gosain under various sections of the IPC and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Gosain, the 'Mukhya Shikshak' of the Mohan shakha of the RSS, was shot dead outside his residence in Ludhiana's Gagandeep Colony in the morning of October 17 by two unidentified assailants riding a motorbike.
The Punjab Police, which was earlier probing the case, arrested two people -- Ramandeep Singh and Hardeep Singh -- a few days after the incident.
"It has also come to light that a conspiracy to destabilise Punjab has been hatched by Sikh extremist elements and others located in various parts of the world including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, United Arab Emirates and Pakistan," the NIA spokesman had said.
He added that investigation conducted so far has revealed channelling of funds from foreign countries for execution of these incidents.
The conspiracy also included an element of ideological brainwashing and incitement of the accused on religious grounds by their mentors settled abroad.

Which is the best tool bag for you?
Posted by TheToolBloke on
Three of the main factors to consider when selecting a tool bag:
Empty weight for Veto pro pac tool bags ranges from 3.5kg to 6kg, this is a significant difference however the tools you carry in the bag will have a far greater impact on the final "loaded" weight. We typically recommend going with the smallest bag that you can comfortably carry your core tools in, one issue with the larger bags can be that they are far too easy to overload with excess tools which can make them cumbersome. Although if you work in an environment like a workshop where your tools stay in one place for the whole day then this isn't such a big issue. Maintenance people who are walking from job to job would be better equipped with a smaller bag.
Some of the things worth considering when thinking about the bags physical dimensions are the size of the tools you will want to carry and if they will fit comfortably into your tool bag, Because these bags allow for vertical storage the height of the closed top design will determine the maximum length tool you can carry, this may be an issue for very long screwdrivers or pry bars. If you need to carry a hacksaw then the length will be something you should consider. Also you may want to consider what space you have available in your vehicle, some of the larger bags may not fit into cupboards or boxes in your truck/ute.
Open or closed top?
|Closed Top
|Open Top
-Lockable with the use of a padlock.
-Protection from the elements.
-Water resistant.
-Contains tools better in a knock over.
-More pockets in the same footprint compared to an open top.
|-Easier access.
-can accommodate larger or odd sized tools.
-Greater amount of empty space for cordless tools or parts for the job.
Trade specific suggestions
We put together a few pages with recommendations on the best tool bag by trade/profession. These suggestions came together using data collected from customers who completed after sale surveys, do keep in mind that just because the bag you like isn't on your trade specific list doesn't mean it won't be a great fit for you and your work.
Some guys like to have multiple bags for specific jobs, for example an electrician may have a dedicated bag for ruff ins/fit offs and another for testing/commissioning. If you carry a laptop you may want to look at the XLT or LT. You may also want a clip on tool pouch to accompany your full size tool bag, check out the pouches here.
Carpenter Tool Bag >
If you'd like to hear another opinion before making a decision then feel free to drop us an email detailing the type of work you do and the typical tools you carry, so we can then point you in the right direction or discuss the pros and cons of the various models.
Happy Hunting!

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

Giordano Bruno
In a dialogue that Bruno wrote in the 1570s he imagines his home town of Nola in which fate has decreed…
that Vasta, wife of Albenzio Savolino, when she means to curl her hair at her temples, shall burn fifty-seven hairs for having let the curling iron get too hot, but she won't burn her scalp and hence shall not swear when she smells the stench, but shall endure it patiently. That from the dung of her ox fifty-two dung beetles shall be born, of which fourteen shall be trampled and killed by Albenzio's foot, twenty-six shall die upside down, twenty-two shall live in a hole, eighty shall make a pilgrim's progress around the yard, forty-two shall retire to live under the stone by the door, sixteen shall roll their ball of dung wherever they please, and the rest shall scurry around at random. . . . Antonio Savolino's bitch shall conceive five puppies, of which three shall live out their natural lifespan and two shall be thrown away, and of these three the first shall resemble its mother, the second shall be mongrel, and the third shall partly resemble the father and partly resemble Polidoro's dog. . . . Paulino, when he bends over to pick up a broken needle, shall snap the red drawstring of his underpants, and if he should blaspheme for that reason, I mean for him to be punished thus: tonight his soup shall be too salty and taste of smoke, he shall fall and break his wine flask.
Giordano Bruno (1548 – 1600) was an Italian philosopher, priest, cosmologist, and occultist. A statue of Bruno was erected in Campo de' Fiori in Rome in 1889.

Evolutionary Computation Applications to Biomathematics
Computer Science: Lee Spector (Hampshire College)
Evolutionary computation methodologies combine ideas from evolutionary biology and computer science to produce systems that solve problems using algorithms based on genetic representation, random variation, and problem-oriented selection. These methodologies can be applied to problems in many disciplines, and the PI has used them in areas including pure mathematics, quantum computing, and software engineering. Within the framework of the Four College Biomathematics Consortium we will apply these methodologies to problems in biology and biochemistry. Initial work in this direction uses genetic programming to investigate solubility and bioavailability.

Mini housing boom in Malaga's 'Golden Triangle'
LUXURY housing in Malaga's so-called 'Golden Triangle' is leading the way in the resurrection of the construction industry.
The 'Golden Triangle', made up of Marbella, Estepona and Benahavis, is seeing an increase in both the sales of homes and in the construction of luxury housing.
During January and February of this year, Marbella Town Hall has seen an increase of 20% in the licences for luxury homes.
So far the town hall has authorised licences for 18 new housing projects with a combined worth of over €9million.
If construction carries on at this pace, the number of projects for 2014 could be double that of last year, which ended with a total of 64 licences issued.
But Pablo Moro, the councillor in charge of town-planning in Marbella, emphasises the need for caution in analysing the data.

Spanish market offers bargain basement homes
ALMOST one third of Spanish houses are on the market for less than €100,000.
The number of houses sold at that price or less over the past 12 months is even higher -around 64% – according to property site Globaliza.com.
The figure has surged from 2.9% before the onset of the economic crisis and ensuing collapse of the real estate market.
A staggering 68% of houses in Sevilla were sold for less than €100,000 in 2013.
The average property is a three room flat, 83 square meters in size, located in middle class areas of towns and cities.
These properties have lost around 48% of their market value over the past six years, and 7% of their 2007 values have been lost over the past 12 months.
The value of Housing in Malaga, meanwhile, has lost over half its value, 56%, since the property bubble burst. A total 16 percentage points of this decline has come in the past year.
A report by Technocasa found that factors affecting prices in Malaga are as simple as the availability of a lift in an apartment block; those with the facility are priced an average 12% higher than those without.

Mark Harris Jr., a terminally ill cancer patient received his dying wish to meet the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
The 26-year-old North Texas man was all smiles when the cheerleaders greeted him. The visit was arranged by Vistacare, the hospice organization caring for Harris.
According to Mark's father, "Some days are funny, some days are a lot of fun and laughter, some days are very sad, some are very heart wrenching."
Getting to meet the cheerleaders was a good day for Mark and his family. He also got to meet the Dallas Mavericks Dancers the same day.
Although his prognosis is day-to-day, Harris says he is not worried. "It hurts a lot but at first, you just let it go because I know that God is with me, I'm not worried."
Mark has one final wish. "My wish is that I can just go to heaven and look down and see my family succeed."

Any establishment that sells or serves liquor is liable for a claim if someone gets hurts or injured or if property is damaged due to alcohol consumption. However, often caterers forget or forgo liquor liability insurance. If your catering company serves alcohol at events, your company is liable as well.
Often times caterers supply the alcohol that is to be poured and consumed at an event via a third party, most often a liquor store. However, your employees are pouring and serving the cocktails, which means the catering company is responsible for the consumption of alcohol at events where it is served. For monetary reason, or from lack of understanding, too often caterers do not have any or enough liquor liability coverage.
We like to think that the person who has consumed too much should be responsible. However, according to the law, this is not the way it works. Those who serve, sell and distribute the liquor are responsible.
Liability claims made to a caterer as a result of damages or injuries caused by liquor consumption can be extremely costly. In fact, suites can be for both civil and criminal damages, depending on the claim.
If you own a catering business you need liquor liability insurance, not only for protection against liability, but also as a show of good business for prospective customers. For more information on insurance that protects your business against loss or damages as a result of claims against your business, contact TriState Business Insurance.
