  1. If the church were interested in being just and equal, wouldn’t they simply require that all new members “disavow” homosexuality at the time of baptism?

    For that matter, isn’t the time-honored divinely inspired baptismal covenants enough to commit to? Apparently Not! Isn’t the church really saying that they have no faith in their own divine ordinances or in Gods ability to change human nature?

    This is what is really telling about how false the church has become. The church has no faith in it’s own baptismal covenants, no faith in it’s own sacrament, no faith in it’s own God and Holy Ghost.

    What more glimpse of the truth of what these guys actually believe can you ask for?

    Headline News: Mormon Church Disavows belief in it’s own God!

    1. Thing is, kids at 8 have no concept of what their own sexuality will be. I agree it would be better since this would be more in line with actual gospel principals; a much better alternative than this debacle; but practically they would also need to raise the baptism age limit to adulthood, which, quite frankly, is somewhere around 24 or so.

      1. Peter as an 8 year old I learned the ten commandments as a condition for baptism, among them adultery. I had no idea what adultery was, but I had to agree not to do it! On the other hand I think more people should wait until thirty to decide to join the church.

      1. The LDS leaders are either unwilling or unable to accept that a persons sexual preference is a matter of biology. The individual has no control whatever as to the colour of their eyes, their height, the size of their feet, et al, and yet when it comes to a persons sexual preference the LDS leaders expect a gay person to repent for being ‘gay’ ( as if being ‘gay’is sinning ) seek forgiveness and be baptized!! It is an absurd position to take with regard to be being gay and being admitted as a member of the LDS church. I can’t understand why any gay person would seek admittance into the LDS church.

        1. Did I miss something? Did science find the gay gene? From everything I’ve read (by gay and non-gay scientists), several factors, which does include genetics but also includes upbringing and environment, play a role in developing sexual orientation.

          If my sources are out of date, please enlighten me.

          I do agree with your last statement.

          1. Genetics and hormones in the womb, yes. I’ve seen nothing credible to suggest that upbringing is at play. If you can find something in that regard, please share.

          2. With regard to a persons sexual preference being influenced by upbringing, where is the evidence proving that environmental factors play a significant part in a persons sexuality. Biological determinism is the basis for everything that a person is.

          3. If we learned anything from Kinsey, it was that sexuality is on a continuum. An individual can, therefore, be predominantly heterosexual but still have homosexual inclinations. What I understand about environmental factors is that they can be at play in how sexuality is expressed. For example, an individual somewhere in the middle of the Kinsey scale raised in an accepting home would feel just as comfortable entering a homosexual relationship as a he/she would entering a heterosexual relationship. A socially conservative household would likely stifle the homosexual activity leaving only the heterosexual activity apparent. Indeed, there is some evidence that a social setting as well as genetics may be at play (Gartrell, Bos, & Goldberg, 2011; Schumm, 2010). Additionally, there are a number of twin studies suggesting, although not conclusive, that environmental factors play some role in sexual preferences (e.g., Bailey, Dunne, & Martin, 2000; Bearman & Bruckner, 2002; Eckert, Bouchard, Bohlen, & Heston, 1986; Kendler, Thornton, Gilman, & Kessler, 2000).
            Actually, John, I noticed that the Eckert et al. (1986) study was included in your references for your “Psychosocial Correlates of Religious Approaches to Same-Sex Attraction” study, but was not cited in the body of the paper.
            Anyway, to respond to Austin, I think that the genetic and environmental factors of homosexuality are contested and the interrelationship is still being researched.

          4. Good points being made. My point is that an individual pathology will always determine how a person is. My other point is that the
            LDS belief regarding same sex attraction is that such attraction between people is a sin. Such a view regarding same sex attraction is absurd. What right does any individual, or group of individuals have to view same sex attraction as inherently evil?

  2. John,

    You’re emphatic about how much harm this policy will cause to the children of same sex couples. But I haven’t heard anyone address in detail how much harm this has caused or will cause the children of homosexual couples without the policy in place. To live in an environment where a child goes from baptism to young mens/womens, weekly activities, weekly church, pounded with the idea of mother/father/children in the Lord as the over all plan of God, then to have them go home and deal with their home dichotomy. Wouldn’t this also cause great emotional harm?

    1. Austin,

      So the answer the Mormon church came up with (remember, they’re the “one true church”) is to deny the children to come unto Christ, be baptized, receive the priesthood, ect. until they move out and denounce their parents? Shouldn’t this policy be in place for ALL kids who don’t have active parents in Mormonism? Think of how harmful it must be for those kids to learn in church that their family won’t be in Celestial glory with them.

      I remember I was taught OVER and OVER again how important the gift of the holy ghost was to help guide me through the evil pitfalls of the modern world, especially as a young adolescent. So the kids of straight parents (even if they aren’t Mormon) can get the Holy Ghost as a guide through some skechtcy high-school years, but the kid of a homosexual parent can’t? That kid is just going to have to try and navigate without it, right?

      Can’t wait for the essay to come out 10 years from now “disavowing” the homophobic teachings of T. Monson and others.

      Wake up Mormons! God is nowhere to be found in any of this non-sense.

    2. I haven’t seen one person address how a child who lives with a heterosexual parent, who is having pre marital sex, is allowed to be baptized. After all what they learn in church is contrary to what they witness in their home. Yet they can be baptized.

      I guess what it boils down to is, despite the “sin”, the right type of sex is being had. Am I right apologists?

  3. No one should be surprised by the late action of the itty-bitty mormon church (15 million souls versus 7 billion earthlings; you do the math)to exclude children of the LGBTQ community from basic church ordinances, and excommunicate as apostates their parents. This church has been excluding people since its founding: Those who would not participate in “spiritual marriage,” black male members from the priesthood (thanks, Brigham!). Loving nonmember or inactive parents who cannot attend the temple weddings of their sons and daughters. And let’s not forget the single adult members of the church whose unmarried status just doesn’t quite seem to fit the mormon mold. There is nothing new here. Maybe more offensive, but not new. As a secularist, it is hard for me to see very many of the teachings of Jesus Christ applied in this church.

    1. You raise important points. The BOM is a racist tract clothed in religious rhetoric, eg, ‘O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours…….'( Jacob 3:8 ).And all the single adult members who, as you point out, doesn’t fit the mormon mold.
      Is it any wonder that the LDS church is, as you point out, ‘itty – bitty’

    2. If Mormonism is true then it means that God’s default program for families is to break them up at death, except for the few LDS temple sealings that last forever. Doesn’t sound like a loving God to me.

  4. John, you are mistaken about mandatory disciplinary councils (min24.45).

    Section 6.7.3 states that disciplinary councils are mandatory for 1.Murder 2.Incest 3.Child abuse -physical or sexual- and 4. Apostasy , where apostasy is

    1. Repeatedly act in clear, open, and deliberate public opposition to the Church or its leaders.” like, respectfully, you do here in your mormonstories.

    2. Persist in teaching as Church doctrine information that is not Church doctrine after they have been corrected by their bishop or a higher authority.” as in your case (I say this with all due respect)
    3. Continue to follow the teachings of apostate sects (such as those that advocate plural marriage) ….
    4. Are in a same-gender marriage.
    5. Formally join another church a….”

    So if you support SSM after being told that you can’t or you are in a SSM, hence practicing support for SSM, then you are classified as an apostate by the church.

    But it wasn’t correct to say that murder is an optional disciplinary council and SSM isn’t. The previous section 6.7.2 says that council may be necessary for all serious sin and then lists, quote:
    “It includes (but is not limited to) attempted murder, forcible rape,(??no other kind off course), sexual abuse, spouse abuse, intentional serious physical injury of others, adultery, fornication, homosexual relations (especially sexual cohabitation), deliberate abandonment of family responsibilities, robbery, burglary, theft, embezzlement, sale of illegal drugs, fraud, perjury, and false swearing.”

    but in the sense that it may be useful to hold one if it’s worthwhile because sometimes it’s just pointless chasing a murderer or ssm cohabitor if they continue to disappear, or they don’t show up for the interview and it isn’t a public case ie the church isn’t publically embarrassed by the individual

  5. One of the talking points used by those fighting against the legalization of same sex marriage is the fear that it will be a slippery slope leading to the legalization of other unconventional types of marriage like polygamy. There remains in the public eye a stigma attached to the LDS Church because of its history with polygamy, so it was a clever PR move for Apostle Todd Christofferson to link polygamy with homosexuality in a way that left the impression that the church deals with both issues in the same way and equally denounces both, when the public does not realize that the church never actually denounced polygamy, but only stopped the practice because it was forced to by the government’s threat to confiscate all its property.

    Christofferson said that giving a baby of gay parents a name and a blessing is problematic in that it triggers a membership record, which triggers the assigning of home teachers. Huh? When has the church ever wanted to reduce the church roles? When has the church ever wanted to keep home teachers away from anyone, unless they were specifically asked by the family not to visit? The Apostle mentioned in passing without explaining it, that attendance at Primary is another problem triggered by a membership record. The question arises, in what way is Primary attendance a problem, and how does the new policy solve that problem? Was his mention of Primary a slip of the tongue, inadvertantly revealing that the church has deliberately designed their new policy with the idea in mind that gay parents would want to keep their children away from Primary to protect them from the most damaging thing for young children, which is the stigma and isolation of being treated differently? The hurt that would attach to being singled out at the age of eight as the only one in the class not eligible for baptism, or as the only boy from age twelve to eighteen who is not advancing in the priesthood, is a problem the church itself is creating, and then they are offering their new policy as the solution. I was going to say this is crazy, circular thinking, but knowing that the church probably spent a lot of time crafting the policy and consulting with its lawyers on it, it can only be characterized as manipulative.

    For an 18 year old to have to move out of his parents’ home and “specifically denounce” his parents’ lifestyle, may not technically, on paper, or in the minds of the church leaders be the same thing as denouncing his parents, but in the real lives of real people with real hearts and real feelings, it would certainly seem that way. Why would this be required anyway, when the child is now an “adult” able to make his or her own decisions about the kind of life he wants to lead? Why require this when he is showing an interest in membership and/or wants to go on a mission?

    I agree that this is a surgical procedure, but don’t cha know ours is not to question why; ours is but to do or die? The church leadership has laid down its ultimatum and has made it clear that it is their way or the highway. We can debate and discuss things here all that we want. We can express our thoughts and feelings here on various issues, but in the church, they do not count. Power and authority reside at the top. Just disengage your brain, do not follow where your heart leads, keep your mouth shut, and follow the brethren, right or wrong. Kind of a zombie existence, huh? Want to get outa here? Let’s go!

  6. Let’s just put a twist to this new policy. What if, rather than those in same gender relationships being “put to the test,” maybe this test is to see if the LDS church has learned about discrimination yet. When I was 13 years old I walked down the streets of Greenville Texas in the 1960’s. A young black girl was walking towards me. She lowered her head and moved off into the street so the white girl could pass by. When my mother first came into that same little town there was a sign up that read “The blackest soil and the whitest people,” at the age of 13 I wanted to pull that young girl back on the sidewalk and say you don’t have to look down when anybody passes you. But I also knew the behavior that she was taught at home to survive in her town, the culture only known to those who are marginalized. How did the church deal with discrimination then? We all know about the selective destruction of our different races and cultures, and now those in religious power have added another group; same gender marriage, but remember, it isn’t you that is hated, it is your sexual expression. So this new policy is for all of us, how will we receive it and discern it, and reason it with everything we have been taught, and everything we have read in the scriptures. And, after everything we have learned about imperfection, and our mistakes of discrimination and bulling, will we accept this policy and move on with our lives? The second greatest commandment remains the same, love thy neighbor as thyself. There are no conditions added to that commandment. Would you want the denial of blessings, and rites of passage, taken away from your children? Please don’t respond with same gender marriage is a sin, and this is the consequence of sinning. This is a much deeper issue of how a white male dominated church chooses to grapple with an issue that has put them to the test. How will did they do? Whatever your answer is, and we all have our guns blasting, what are we learning, and how are we loving, and do we choose to continue to let others do our thinking for us?

  7. Hey…why stop there?? Why not include the nieces and nephews of any gay members. After all they might have a sleep over at one of their homes. And while they’re at it, why not include the gay’s siblings , unless of course they’re willing to denounce them. And what about withholding the temple recommend of any parent of a gay unless they are willing to denounce them as well!!

    And how insulting to our intelligence that these wrongfully marginalized children will not be denouncing their parents, but rather just their evil practices, when it is their very parents who have put them in this position in the first place?!…or more accurately the Brethren who have imposed this great heracy!

    If it is not their parents that they are being asked to denounce, then why are they being asked to denounce anything?? And why then, would not all members be required to do the same???

    There is no way to interpret this policy except to see it as a hostile attack on the LGBT and their completely innocent, defenseless children. There’s no way that the corporation is this stupid. They are deliberately cutting their losses and cleaning house with a ‘ means justifies the end’ approach.

    And the end they clearly seek are congregations sanitized of any LGBT or their posterity. They have made it so distasteful and intolerable for any such to feel anything but unwanted and worse driven out as the liability the Brethren consider them. Never mind that they are real human beings with faces and lives that many of the grassroots members value and love.

    In a way, it’s good news for these fine people and their children as this church, as it stands is not fit or worthy as a source of community or healthy spirituality for the LGBT, or the rest of us who stay behind to wear this shameful new reality.

    This is a truly sad day for all decent , human , caring Mormons.

  8. I appreciated this program and the comments of the participants. Just a few thoughts. I don’t believe the majority of church leaders view the Prop 8 campaign as negative–because Prop 8 passed and the “religious right” were very happy that the LDS church took the lead, which is why there have been no “lessons learned.”
    It doesn’t appear as if these new policies were very well thought out and I have to think as long as leaders insulate themselves, rather than seek out groups such as Affirmation or Mormons Building Bridges–in order to hear and learn other perspectives–they will do more harm than good to the LDS church. It isn’t enough to just trot out Elder Todd Christofferson or Marlin Jensen, each senior leader needs to expose himself to those affected by the policies.

    As for my household, (lifelong, multi-generational members of the church) we have struggled to maintain any contact with the church since the Prop 8 campaign. We were disgusted and disappointed by the tactics and material used and even taught in our church meetings. Apparently the ends justify the means.

  9. I’m completely baffled as to why the church took this stance. Its a PR nightmare and only serves to divide the congregation. Why not just say the church will look into each case along with the parents to determine what is best for the child. If both parents give permission and will support the child in church progression then allow the baptism. If not then have the child wait till 18 to respect the household. I bet this is not far off from what is already in the handbook.

    You can’t take a stern absolute approach to complex situations especially when children are involved. The church always takes the either its true or not stance. You are with us or against us. Then they draw a line in the sand thought a gray area? What did they think the outcome was going to be?

  10. Below is a link to a compelling scientific paper that highlights Epigenetic influences in the development of sexual orientation.

    Science has determined there is no “Gay Gene” as such, and therefore no direct DNA link. Most Christian churches, including many leaders inside the LDS Church, are quick to jump on this fact and claim it as supporting their position. They should not be too hasty however, as the very latest research has turned up something quite interesting and thus far, quite compelling; there are almost certainly epigenetic factors in explaining why a small percentage of both males and females become homosexual. Epigenetics is a very new field of study that has emerged from the Human Genome Project.

    The PBS show NOVA did an excellent piece on this topic a year or so ago called “The Ghost in your Genes”, that explains how Epigenetic factors influence human development.

    At the core of the entire issue I believe, is a rather significant nuance; the Church always frames the issue as “same-sex attraction”. In recent years, the Church has progressed in how it views this topic, but the real underlying issue is not whether there may be a biological factor in same-sex attraction which may be overcome by choice, but whether there is a scientific basis for same-sex orientation – an even more complex proposition to reconcile, with the implication being that “choice to act or not” becomes negligible in the face of preprogrammed epigenetic forces.

    So far, the evidence is overwhelming that individuals cannot alter their sexual orientation, a fact that has contributed greatly to the suicide rate among young men in the LDS Church. The findings of this scientific paper, along with similar new research should at the very least “throw a yellow caution flag on to the field” of the LDS Church. A prudent leadership would be more cautious and avoid painting themselves into deep corners. History has born out time and again that science often pulls the rug out from the imperious, exposing them as impertinent.

  3. 2019 Honda Passport Will Debut at the L.A. Auto Show

2019 Honda Passport Will Debut at the L.A. Auto Show

Honda promises off-road capability for new CUV

The rumors were true. In a few weeks, Honda will resurrect the Passport name for a new utility vehicle positioned between the CR-V and Pilot.

The 2019 Honda Passport will debut November 27 on YouTube before making its way to the Los Angeles auto show. It goes on sale early next year.

Honda has released a few teaser images of the Passport, though they don't give us much to go on. The vehicle will undoubtedly be a unibody crossover like its bigger and smaller siblings, but the automaker assures the model will be capable of venturing off the beaten path.

"The new Passport is a more personal, powerful and off-road-capable SUV that hits the sweet spot between daily driving comfort and weekend off-road, all-weather adventure capability," said Henio Arcangeli Jr., senior vice president of American Honda Motor and General Manager of the Honda Division, in a release.

If the Passport name seems familiar, you can pat yourself on the back. Honda sold the original Passport, essentially a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo, from model years 1994 through 2002. Shortly after discontinuing the Passport, Honda rolled out the more car-like and practical Pilot.

Expect the Passport and Pilot to have more in common this time around. A report from Automotive News earlier this year indicated the new Passport will ride on the same platform as the Pilot, although it will be 6 inches shorter. Honda designed and developed the Passport in the U.S., and it will enter production in Lincoln, Alabama, alongside the Pilot.

Hochaufgelöste ALMA Bilder von Gravitationslinsen

Strongly lensed starforming galaxies at cosmological distances provide a unique laboratory to study galaxy evolution in great detail due to the boost in flux and the increased spatial resolution provided by the gravitational magnification from lensing. In the past studies of strongly lensed sources have been limited to a handful of systems due to their rareness and the lack of large-scale mm/submm surveys to detect these rare sources in significant numbers. This has changed dramatically over the past years with the advent of large area surveys from Herschel and the South Pole Telescope (SPT). These surveys have detected hundreds of strongly lensed high-redshift dusty starforming galaxies (DSFGs).

In a successful ALMA cycle 0 proposal we awarded observing time for high spatial resolution (0.5'') imaging to determine the lens magnifications of the DSFGs (47 sources). Integration times of only one minute per source are adequate to show that the sources are resolved into arcs or Einstein rings -- hallmarks of gravitational lensing -- in most sources. Using a lens model we are able to determine the magnification of our sources and derive their intrinsic luminosities.

Bestimmungen der Rotverschiebung entfernter Galaxien mit ALMA

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we have conducted a blind redshift survey in the 3 mm atmospheric transmission window for 26 strongly lensed dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) selected with the South Pole Telescope. Our 3mm scans resulted in 44 securely detected spectral line features including the most distant detection of H2O and H2O+ at z=5.7 to date. Our sample mean redshift is = 3.5. This is in contrast to the redshift distribution of radio identified DSFGs which have a significantly lower mean redshift of  =2.3, and for which only 10%–15% of the population is expected to be at z > 3. The redshift distribution of our sample appears almost flat between z = 2–4. Our study suggests that previous spectroscopic redshift surveys of DSFGs based on radio identified sources are likely biased toward lower redshift and have missed a large fraction (~50%) of the DSFG population at redshifts z > 3.

LESS: Der APEX-Laboca 870 Mikormeter Survey des 'extended Chandra deep field south'

The LABOCA ECDFS Submillimetre Survey (LESS) is a sensitive 870 survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) with submm LABOCA camera on the APEX telescope. LESS covers the full 30′ × 30′ field size of the ECDFS and has a uniform noise level of 1.2 mJy per beam. LESS is one of the largest contiguous deep submillimeter survey undertaken to date. The survey yields the a catalog of126 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) detected with a significance level above 3.7σ.

Recent results have focused on the counterpart identifications in the radio and MIR, the redshift distribution and the clustering of the LABOCA detected sources. The LESS redshift distribution (=2.2) turns out to be consistent with previous SMGs studies focusing on radio/MIR identified SMGs. The observed clustering indicates that the low-redshift descendants of typical submm galaxies (SMGs) are massive (∼2–3L∗) elliptical galaxies at the centers of moderate- to high-mass groups, consistent with previous studies and with observations of local massive elliptical, which indicate that they formed the bulk of their stars at z > 2 and have been largely passive since. The clustering of SMGs is very similar to that observed for QSOs at the same redshifts, supporting evolutionary scenarios in which SMGs and QSOs are triggered by a common mechanism.

ALMA Beobachtungen von hoch-rotverschobenen LESS Quellen

Based on our initial low-resolution observations from the LESS survey we have awarded ALMA observing time in Cycle-0 to produce the first complete high-resolution follow-up catalog of 126 SMGs in LESS. Our 870μm survey with ALMA has produced maps ∼3× deeper and with a beam area ∼200× smaller than the original LESS observations, doubling the current number of interferometrically–observed submillimeter sources. The high resolution of these maps allows us to resolve sources that were previously blended and accurately identify the origin of the submillimeter emission. We show that our ALMA-derived SMG counts broadly agree with the submillimeter source counts from previous, lower-resolution single-dish surveys, demonstrating that the bulk of the submillimeter sources are not caused by blending of unresolved SMGs. The difficulty that well-constrained theoretical models have in reproducing the high- surface densities of SMGs, thus remains. However, our observations do show that all of the very brightest sources in the LESS sample, S870μm > 12 mJy, comprise emission from multiple, fainter SMGs, each with 870μm fluxes of <∼ 9 mJy.

Studien zur Bestimmung der Veränderlichkeit von Naturkonstanten bei hohen Rotverschiebungen

The standard model of physics is built on the fundamental constants of nature, but it does not provide an explanation for their values, nor does it require their constancy over space and time. We have set a limit on a possible cosmological variation of the dimensionless proton-to-electron mass ratio μ by comparing transitions in methanol observed in the early universe with those measured in the laboratory. From radio astronomical observations of PKS1830-211 with the 100-m telescope at Effelsberg, a constraint of ∆μ/μ = (0.1 ± 0.8) × 10-7 could be deduced at redshift z = 0.89, corresponding to a look-back time of 7 billion years. This is consistent with a null result and by far the most accurate measurement of this basic parameter at z ~ 1.

We also use sensitive observations of the CO J = 7→6  and [C I]  3P2→3P1 transitions in the z = 2.79 quasar host galaxy RXJ0911.4+0551 with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer to constrain ΔF/F with F = α2/μ, where α is the fine structure constant and μ is the electron-to-proton mass ratio. This experiment yields ΔF/F = (6.9 ± 3.7) × 10-6 at a look-back time of 11.3 Gyr.

Consumers Make Switch to Connected-TV

MPP Global Posted by MPP Global on Wednesday, 16 February 2011

Our prediction that connected-TV is going to dominate the home entertainment industry looks set to be right on track.

A new survey has revealed that a third of broadband-connected Americans are already accessing the internet via their TVs, a trend that is surely going to be repeated here in the UK and across the rest of Europe.

The research showed that TV programs or movies (68%), weather (65%) and gaming (64%), are the most common types of content accessed via internet connected-TV. It also found that two in five consumers were interested in content relevant to the commercials they had watched.

The results of the survey are a clear indicator of the amazing opportunities for companies to monetise digital content via connected-TV.

At MPP Global, we have worked hard to ensure our advanced eCommerce solutions are already tailored to meet the potential from this growing market.

The humble “box” is undergoing a radical transformation from basic television to a medium for connecting to the internet to view, shop and chat.

If your eCommerce strategy isn’t tuned into connected TV – it is time to make the switch now.

Priebus sees Benghazi as a moneymaker ... for Clinton

A picture shows the interior of the burnt US consulate building in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Sept. 13, 2012 following an attack on the building late on September 11 in which the US ambassador to Libya and three other US nationals were killed.
It was odd to hear Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus complain yesterday that Hillary Clinton "is politics 24/7." After all, "politics 24/7" is practically part of Priebus' job description.
But this was even more brazen.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus argued Sunday that Hillary Clinton's book rollout -- including last week's leak of the Benghazi chapter and her anticipated book tour -- may ... simply a strategic effort to make more money. The chapter, according to Politico, contained a defense of her response to the attack, as well as criticism of Republicans who Clinton says play politics with the deadly assault that killed four Americans. [...] "I know publishers of the book create this environment to make a lot of money. That's what Hillary Clinton is doing. She's making a lot of money. She's writing books. She's doing speeches. All this talk helps her make money. As long as she's making money, she's going to keep this up," he said on "Fox News Sunday."

So, let me get this straight. Hillary Clinton wrote a book, which included a defense of her handling of the 2012 attack, responding to Republican condemnations. And far as Reince Priebus is concerned, the former Secretary of State's principal motivation is getting richer?
One can expect a certain baseline shamelessness from the national campaign committees, but this is pretty audacious, even for Priebus. Republicans have spent the last 21 months exploiting the deadly attack in Benghazi for political cash and partisan gain, and now the RNC chair would have Americans believe Clinton only wrote about Benghazi to line her own pockets?
Let me put this another way: does anyone consider it plausible that it's Clinton who wants to talk about Benghazi right now, or is it easier to believe that it's Republicans -- the folks who refuse to stop fundraising off Benghazi -- who seem eager to keep the 2012 attack on the national front burner?
On the same Sunday show, Fox's Chris Wallace asked a series of questions he probably knows the answers to, which seems to happen quite a bit on the right when it comes to Benghazi.
Again, there's nothing wrong with asking questions. When four Americans are killed in an attack abroad, failing to ask questions would itself be a scandal. But once the questions have been answered, fully and accurately, it quickly becomes farcical for partisans to simply choose willful ignorance, pretending they've come up with new inquiries.
In related news, Secretary of State John Kerry last week took advantage of divisions among House Republicans, agreeing to testify before Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee, but telling the new Republican Select Committee that this would be Kerry's final testimony on the matter.
Late last week, Issa reversed course, no doubt under pressure from his own allies: "Republican Rep. Darrell Issa on Friday released Kerry from a subpoena for his testimony before the House Oversight Committee on June 12, making it increasingly likely the secretary of state will be grilled at a later date by a new House select committee chaired by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy."

It has been years since my last painting time-lapse and, as my process since then has changed a bit, I felt an update was due.

In general, I aim to make my process as direct as possible.  I’ve pulled away from tight pencil transfers and tend to do my drawing directly with the paint whenever possible (I’ll still go to transfers for various situations, such as heavy architectural details) which needs a day or two to dry before I can more forward.  This makes live demonstrations challenging.  I’d usually show up with that part finished and dry so I can get to the interesting stuff, but here I am showing everything starting with the priming of the surface.

I should also note that, as in all of my work, I am painting from a photo reference and not a live model.  I’d use this same basic approach for life painting, measurement checking and all.

Blog | Multi Radiance Medical - Super Pulsed Laser Therapy : Lighting Up Life: Managing Arthritis Pain with Non-Invasive Low-Level Laser Therapy

Lighting Up Life: Managing Arthritis Pain with Non-Invasive Low-Level Laser Therapy

Managing arthritis pain with non-invasive low-level laser therapy

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports1 that arthritis affects 54.4 million adults. This staggering statistic makes it one of the most common causes of disability for persons in the United States. Arthritis is a broad overarching category that can be used to refer to instances of joint pain or disease. It covers over 100 different manifestations and related conditions, the most common of which are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Arthritis can affect anyone of all races, ethnicities and age groups. It is most prevalent in persons ages 65 or older, affecting nearly half of this population, and affects more women than men.

What are the symptoms of arthritis?

Symptoms may vary depending on the type of arthritis the patient has; the most common symptoms patients experience are:

  • Aching
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Pain
  • Redness
  • Stiffness
  • Swelling in or around the joints

How was arthritis treated in the past?

Treatment plans typically included any, or a combination of, the following: medication, surgery, or activity restrictions. Treatments with analgesics (acetaminophen), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (ibuprofen and diclofenac), and COX2 inhibitors (Celebrex) have significant risks of adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding with NSAIDs and myocardial infarction with COX2 inhibitors.

Risks of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

  • Edema (swelling of the feet)
  • Heartburn
  • Stomach upset and stomach ulcers
  • Possible increased risk of blood clots, heart attack and stroke

Risks of Corticosteroids

  • Cataracts
  • Elevated blood fats and blood sugar levels
  • Increased appetite
  • Bone loss

Recent advancements in modern technology have demonstrated the beneficial effect of light on arthritic joints.  Low level laser therapy was introduced as an alternative non-invasive treatment for RA and OA about 10 years ago. The application of non-invasive, drug-free light has provided reduction in swelling, inflammation and pain to affected joints.

Treating arthritis with low level laser therapy from Multi Radiance Medical

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation (PBM) is like photosynthesis in plants: a means of creating usable cellular energy by the absorption of light by photosensitive organelles. The anti-inflammatory effects of LLLT have been reported as significant reductions in inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokines 24 hours later. A lower laser power was more effective than a higher laser power.2

Research demonstrates the effectiveness of a combined medication and light therapy for reduction of arthritis symptoms. A significant long-term study performed by Antipa C. et al.3 looked at patients with either rheumatoid or non-rheumatoid diseases. For five years, they recorded the efficacy of laser therapy by comparing groups of patients that received anti-inflammatory medication against a placebo laser control group and two groups with laser therapy. The results showed that the combined laser group did, in fact, have equal to or better results than anti-inflammatory therapy alone. This is conclusive to the suggestion that laser therapy should be incorporated as an adjunctive therapy for patients with arthritis to significantly reduce their pain.

Laser Therapy Treatment Plans

In general, the following clinical guidelines should be considered when applying LLLT to any type of arthritic joint:

  • Smaller doses, in the range of 1-2 minutes with 5-250 Hz or 8-12 J should be given initially
  • More frequent doses generally provide better outcomes
  • General stimulation of the blood or photohemotherapy (PHT) should be included to provide additional beneficial effect. 50 Hz for 5 minutes or 30 J to the proximal artery of affected joint is the target location
  • After symptoms have been abated, treatment should be done on an as-needed basis and/or done preventatively to minimize outbreaks

Light therapy has been used successfully to treat arthritis and other types of pain for decades. PBM works by improving energy production in joint cells, which lowers inflammation and normalizes function. LLLT should be considered for short-term relief of pain and morning stiffness, particularly since it has no known side effects

YouTube promotes Victoria Campoamor to global publishing strategy role

YouTube has made another move to make itself more industry-friendly, by promoting highly-rated exec Victoria Campoamor to the role of head of global publishing strategy & operations.

Campoamor will move to New York for the role, Music Week can reveal, having previously been based in London for her role as head of international music publishing partner operations across YouTube and Google Play Music. There, she earned a reputation for being approachable and working closely with the industry.

It’s the latest move from YouTube, under global head of music Lyor Cohen, to improve its relationships with the industry. It’s already introduced songwriting credits – another thing Campoamor’s publishing contacts will be pleased about – and launched its long-awaited subscription streaming service.

Early reports from labels suggest YouTube Music is already making an impact, while a big marketing campaign for the service is currently underway. In his recent Music Week cover story, Cohen pledged that rights-holders would soon receive more money from YouTube, on both subscription and ad-funded services.

But, at the same time, Google and YouTube are embroiled in a European Parliament battle with the biz over the proposed new Copyright Directive, with music trade bodies queuing up to criticise the company over its lobbying tactics. A full debate and final vote on the Copyright Directive is due in September.

Utility Acquisition of Renewable Projects – A Discussion of the Legal and Tax Issues Regarding Utilities, Developers and Tax Equity

Increasingly, utilities are replacing older generation fleets with more cost-effective generation technologies. Renewables are cost-competitive alternatives in this effort for a number of reasons, including the current tax incentives. A utility’s acquisition of a renewable asset presents many issues not otherwise present in a non-utility acquisition, particularly if the utility intends to include its investment in rate base.

In this complimentary webinar, we will discuss the legal and tax issues associated with renewable energy transactions based on our experience representing both utilities and developers. Topics will include:

  • Structuring issues
  • Regulatory considerations
  • Unique issues associated with tax equity financing and related tax issues

This webinar is complimentary, but space is limited; reserve your spot today. We want to ensure we address the issues of most importance to our participants, and we encourage you to submit your questions for the panel in advance during registration.

Croxteth equine studies moves at the speed of Lightening

Wednesday 28 Oct 2020

Equine students at Myerscough College’s Croxteth Park campus have welcomed a new arrival – a mechanical simulator to support them with their riding skills.

Croxteth Mechanical Horse

The Racewood simulator is the latest addition to the centre’s state-of-the-art facilities and will further enhance the experience of learners on equine further education study programmes. Students have decided to call the simulator ‘Lightening’.

The hi-tech equipment enables students and tutors to analyse in detail various aspects of their performance in real time, to help develop riding techniques in complete safety with the instructor beside them.

This encourages novice riders to relax the spine and pelvis and develop good posture and allows riders to experience a horse’s movement without the worry of falling oﬀ or the need to keep the horse going forward. The simulator will allow the tutor to stand by the horse and work closely with the students to develop conﬁdence and balance, and to improve posture in a safe environment.

You can watch the equine simulator in action here:

Helen Eaton, Assistant Principal – Liverpool, said: ‘’These simulators are unrivalled as an instructional aid allowing beginners to learn in complete safety with an instructor beside them.

‘’Lightening does exactly what it is instructed to do every time and can be used all day long.  It only responds to the commands given. It is predictable, never misbehaves and has endless patience with unskilled or nervous riders.

‘’This will be an invaluable resource for all our Equine Studies learners. We can’t wait to use it!

‘’Thank you to the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for their support.’’

Got Textbooks?

Published by Wendy Nelson on

TextbooksSo your child is headed to college in the fall.  Have you heard how much textbooks will cost?  $150 for one shiny new hardcover textbook is now the norm at the campus bookstore.  Multiply that by about five classes and you are up to $750 or more per semester!  But don’t panic yet …

There are Alternatives to the Campus Bookstore!

I will talk about those alternatives shortly, but first, you need to know how to find out what books your first-time college student will need.  At my daughter’s college, the online course listing includes a link with all required materials.  The books are listed with their International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and the price for new, used and rental through the college bookstore.  I love this because it gives us a quick and painless baseline to work from to find better deals.  The ISBN is the key to finding the correct book.  It is specific to the title and the edition of the book so that you can make sure you are buying the same edition that will be used in the class.

If your student’s school does not list out the materials in this fashion, your book search could be more complicated.  At the very minimum, you should be able to get a hold of the ISBN so that you can search around for deals on the book.

Textbook Options & Sources

New U.S. Version – Obviously a brand-new book with no highlighting, underlining, writing or anything.  These will always be more expensive, but there are sources that may be cheaper than the campus bookstore.  Good online sources:

New International Version – This is a book that is made for a market outside the U.S.  If you want to look at this option, you need to use caution.  For my grad school classes, the international versions worked out great and were identical in content with one exception.  I had one book where the questions at the end of the chapters were the same, but were in a different order.  Of course this happened to be a class where the professor assigned the questions as homework!  When looking to purchase an international version, read any comments about the book carefully to see if it matches up closely to the U.S. version.  If you have any doubts, don’t buy it!  Best sources to find these:

Used – There are many sources, including the campus bookstore, for purchasing used copies of textbooks.  You want to make sure that the edition number is the same as the one assigned for the class.  If you have the ISBN, this should be taken care of.  If you are going used, I’d recommend sticking with a U.S. version.  I have always found cheaper used books online than from the campus bookstore.  Plus, at the bookstore, it is first come first serve on used copies so the nicest ones go quickly.  Most online sources will categorize their books with a system something like the following:  like new, very good, good, acceptable.  Make sure you know what the categories mean and what you are looking for.  If you don’t want excessive underlining or highlighting, stick with the highest categories.  Most sites offer free shipping if you spend over a certain amount (like $25).  The best sources I have found for used textbooks are:

Rental – Campus bookstores and online sources are now offering textbook rentals too.  I have not found a lot of cases where the rental is significantly cheaper than a used book.  Plus, you have to give it back at the end of the class, so you can’t keep it as a reference material.  However, rentals seem to be gaining favor with college students who are finding them to be a better deal than buying a textbook and trying to sell it back at the end of the semester.  If you can find a good deal on a rental, this option might make sense for subjects your student isn’t likely to refer back to in the future.  Sources for rentals include:

For now, we are sticking with buying used books for my daughter.  We have been really happy with our purchases so far.  Many are just like new and we are saving over $300 on books for the upcoming semester (versus buying new from the campus bookstore)!  The earlier you shop, the more options you will have.  The only drawback to buying early is risking a last minute change of book or edition.  We haven’t run into that yet, so we will keep using this system until it fails us.

Janet · July 7, 2013 at 1:33 pm

Try Chegg for rentals and purchases too. They ship prepaid and send the kids labels for return shipping as well. Some books that were not available for rent were found at Chegg for purchase for much less than any other resource. We saved on average, 350-500 a semester by sourcing nursing books thru Chegg. Some books that we initially rented, we found she needed later on. We were able to arrange to purchase at that point, and still save over what the purchase would have been initially.

    Wendy Nelson · July 11, 2013 at 11:51 am

    Thanks, Janet. We have not used Chegg, but will definitely check it out!

ofer · July 10, 2013 at 4:28 pm

All these sites are good, but check first on a textbook price comparison website to make sure what option and merchant is cheapest. Sometimes a used textbook can be cheaper than a rental or e-book. Remember to include shipping price in your consideration !!!

The Cheap Textbook

    Wendy Nelson · July 11, 2013 at 11:50 am

    Excellent points and thank you for the link to the textbook comparison site. Many of the sites will offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount. For it’s $25. For Amazon, it gets a little tricky. If Amazon is the seller, you can get free shipping when you spend $25, but if it is a private seller using Amazon, you usually have to pay for shipping.

EALING councillors have taken the first steps towards transforming the aging Acton Town Hall complex into 'modern 21st century facilities'.

The project will see the upgrade and modernisation of the Town Hall complex, providing new swimming pools, a library, leisure facilities and community spaces.

The council aims to provide up-to-date facilities which 'meet the needs of residents while retaining the best of the site’s heritage features' and work could start as early 2013.

Following a decision by Ealing Council's Labour cabinet, officers will start preparing detailed planning and design guidance for companies interested in developing the site and managing the new facilities.

Results from previous public consultations and the work of the Acton Town Hall Team – the group of local residents set up to advise on the project – will be incorporated into the guidance.

Many of the buildings are nearly 100 years old and require significant and costly repairs to be carried out imminently.  In order to make sure that the public can continue to use the facilities in the short term, the council will also be carrying out urgent repair works on the baths, town hall, King's Rooms and the library. This work is due to begin in October and will be carried out separately to the long-term regeneration plans.

The management of the baths will also be transferred from Greenwich Leisure Limited to the council.

Councillor Julian Bell, Leader of Ealing Council, said: "I'm delighted that work is starting on revitalising this iconic building. Local people have told us how important Acton Town Hall is to them and this substantial investment will mean that residents will be able to enjoy much improved and modernised facilities for years to come.

"We will continue to ask for input from the community as the project progresses through a series of public consultations and events.”

The decision was taken at a meeting of the council’s Cabinet on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. All Cabinet decisions are subject to call in for a period of five working days from the date of publication of the minutes of the meeting.

A PREGNANT mother from Harrow last week admitted lying to FBI agents about being embroiled in an apparent terrorism plot.

Nadia Rockwood, originally from Harrow, was hauled before the US courts with her husband Paul Rockwood, also known as Bilal, – who also pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.

According to the plea agreements and other documents released by the Alaskan department of Justice Paul Rockwood, 35, converted to Islam in late 2001, or early 2002, while living in Virginia, and later became a strict adherent to the violent jihad-promoting ideology of cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki.

He is said to have researched explosives and remote triggering devices and in 2009, he began sharing his ideas about committing acts of domestic terrorism with others, including the possibility of using mail bombs or killing targets by gunshot to the head.

By early 2010, he formalized his list to include 15 specific targets all outside the State of Alaska and in April this year, he gave his written target list to 36-year-old Nadia, who, knowing of its purpose, carried it for him on a trip to Anchorage.

Agents questioned Nadia Rockwood on May 19 about transporting the target list written by her husband and she made false statements, including deceptively claiming that she was delivering a book.

After admitting she wilfully lied to agents, the mother-of-one, who is also said to be five months pregnant, was last week sentenced to five years probation while her husband was handed an eight year jail term.

Despite her admittance last week her parents, who still live in Harrow, denied the allegations.

Samuel and Piri Hawes, of Ruth Close, Stanmore, have insisted their daughter is not a terrorist.

Mr Hawes, a 67-year-old engineer, told the Daily Mail: "I know my daughter. We are very close. She is not in any way a terrorist. Paul has strong views but he loves America."

Mr Hawes added that he had spent years arguing with his son-in-law about religion and had received threatening emails from him after a row about Islam.

The couple said Mr Rockwood converted to Islam after 9/11 in alleged attempt to control a serious drink problem.

Their daughter, who was brought up as a strict Roman Catholic in Harrow and attended the Italia Conti performing arts school, where she studied ballet and jazz, met Mr Rockwood while working as a bridal model in Japan.

The pair then moved to America where she was employed as a professional dancer.
