OU prof: Take responsibility for educating your children

"The way to reclaim America is through patient diligence," University of Oklahoma professor David Deming writes in The Washington Times.
First, have children. Demography is destiny. Second, don’t abandon your children to the public schools. Take the responsibility for educating them. Third, teach children why the United States is both unique and exceptional. With his new series of children’s books, Rush Limbaugh is showing the way.

Former Commerce teacher charged with second-degree rape

The Tulsa World has the story.

Separation of school and state!

We need to let educators do their job, Democratic state superintendent candidate Ivan Holmes is on record saying, "and keep government and outside interest groups out of our schools."

Now I had every intention of voting Republican in November, but if this guy really wants to get rid of compulsory attendance laws, slash my income and property taxes, and basically privatize the whole enchilada, I might have to give him a serious look.

School-produced illiteracy still not acceptable

"After voting in 2011 to prevent social promotion of third-grade students who read at only a first-grade level (if that), state lawmakers did a 180 this year and acted to allow functionally illiterate students to advance to fourth grade," The Oklahoman notes today. But even though "the retention mandate is gone, schools still have a mandate to teach all children to read regardless of social or economic status. Policymakers must hold them accountable."

Comparing public schools to private

Patrick J. Wolf says the Lubienskis’ conclusions rely on a flawed research design.

Ed in the sand

A few days ago the superintendent at Tulsa Union took to the pages of the Tulsa World to assure Oklahomans that "our public schools are doing great work," adding with emphasis: "Our education system is not broken!"

Whereupon it struck me that I need to create a new label—let's call it "Ed in the Sand"—and chronicle various statements of this sort when they come along. Here are some others from years past:

"Education hasn't failed, except maybe in a few overcrowded, underfunded urban districts."
Sand Springs superintendent Lloyd Snow

"I feel that our public schools are doing a great job in educating our students."
Oklahoma state Sen. Richard Lerblance (D-Hartshorne)

"They are using our Governor and Superintendent to carry their water in an attempt to convince parent's [sic] that public schools are bad."
Ivan Holmes, Democratic candidate for state superintendent

"It is simply not true."
Jason James, assistant superintendent in Clinton, on the suggestion that "public schools are failing"

House winks at school-produced illiteracy; Barresi responds

Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi made the following remarks yesterday following House passage of House Bill 2625:
Today’s vote endorses a system of social promotion that has failed to reduce illiteracy and has deprived students from receiving the best education possible. Nothing is more fundamental to learning than the ability to read. The Reading Sufficiency Act can greatly improve literacy in our state, but it cannot work if it is abandoned for social promotion.

Illiteracy in our children must be a call to action. Everything I’ve seen this school year proves that teachers all across our state have heard that call and are doing monumental things. They are persisting with struggling readers and giving children the one skill that will serve as a gateway to other personal achievements in their lives.

The RSA ensures the greatest resources and amount of time available to intensive, customized reading instruction. Only in the most extreme cases when good-cause exemptions don’t apply is retention part of the law. The point of the RSA is to focus education for struggling readers long before they reach third-grade.

Instead of providing an alternative to learning to read, which this pending bill does, we should instead spend our energies helping these students read. Instead of taking the easy way out, we need to make certain every effort is made by parents, teachers and our communities to help these children learn to read.

House Bill 2625 reinforces a status quo that has failed far too many children. It places exorbitant costs and time on school districts by mandating fourth- and fifth-grade reading remediation for students with Unsatisfactory and Limited Knowledge scores. Moreover, it requires districts to hire reading specialists to be on the committees, an expense that smaller districts will be unable to afford. It undermines a law that districts have had three years to comply with and involve parents in its implementation.

Even a well-intentioned bill can have grievous consequences, and I am concerned that is the case with HB 2625.

'Not just the problems of other people's children'

"A new study from researchers Eric Hanushek (Stanford University), Paul E. Peterson (Harvard University), and Ludger Woessmann (University of Munich) finds that U.S. schools do as badly at teaching those from better-educated families as they do at teaching those from less well-educated families," according to Education Next.

On fixed costs, school administrators can't have it both ways

“If you have more students, you need more teachers,” Duncan superintendent Sherry Labyer sensibly told the Duncan Banner in February. If, for example, 250 new students show up to enroll in Duncan’s public schools, then obviously administrators will need to hire more teachers.

Of course, the corollary is obvious. Simply take Mrs. Labyer’s statement and substitute the word “fewer” for the word “more.” If, for example, 250 fewer students show up to enroll in Duncan’s public schools, then administrators would not need to hire as many teachers. In other words, those instructional costs aren’t fixed. They’re variable. Indeed, economist Benjamin Scafidi estimated in 2012 that only one-third of Oklahoma’s education costs are fixed costs, whereas two-thirds are variable costs (costs that change with student enrollment).

In a recent argument against parental-choice legislation, Steven Crawford, executive director of Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration, told the Tulsa World that “costs don't go down just because a kid leaves. You don’t get rid of a teacher every time a kid leaves, or you don’t close a building.”

True enough, certain costs are fixed. No reasonable person would claim that a school administrator should “get rid of a teacher every time a kid leaves.” But if 25 kids leave, or 250 kids leave, that’s a different story. Some costs are variable. Unless, of course, Mr. Crawford is prepared to say that he doesn’t want increased funding if 250 new students show up.

Kellyville teacher arrested for sex with student has the story.

Anschutz paper: 'Free students from failure with school choice for all'

Common Core combatants likely don't agree on much, the Washington Examiner editorializes, but they agree on this: America's public schools are failing.
This national disgrace cannot continue. Teachers unions are the biggest obstacles to genuine reform. Their monopoly must be broken so great teachers can be rewarded and bad ones fired. That means school choice must become available to all students, not just a lucky few.

The Examiner is a property of Philip Anschutz's Clarity Media Group, which also owns The Oklahoman.

Can you hear me now?

Yes, some of Oklahoma's new "Parents' Bill of Rights" law may be redundant, but it's as if lawmakers are saying to bureaucrats who are even thinking about meddling: "Have we made ourselves perfectly clear now?"

Heck, for good measure, lawmakers even added that "parents have inalienable rights that are more comprehensive than those listed in this section. The Parents' Bill of Rights does not prescribe all rights of parents. Unless otherwise required by law, the rights of parents of minor children shall not be limited or denied."

Education lobby not telling the full story

"Groups lobbying for increased state appropriations for public schools often argue students are being forced to use old textbooks because of underfunding," The Oklahoman notes today.

What those groups don’t mention is that school administrators previously lobbied the Legislature to change the law so they would not have to use textbook money only for textbooks. When the national economic downturn began, schools asked for greater flexibility in the use of those funds, which lawmakers provided. This allowed schools to use textbook money for other classroom expenses like salary support. If the Legislature were to change the law back, and earmark those funds exclusively for textbooks, fewer students would be using old textbooks. But that money would no longer be free for other uses, and it’s likely schools officials would loudly object. The use of old textbooks is not simply a product of state funding, but also of locally controlled decisions.

High-achieving Millennials underwhelmed with American teachers

"If American teachers are anywhere near as unimpressive as ambitious Millennials perceive them to be, then the state of public school education is quite depressing," Rebecca Klein reports over at HuffPo.
A study released Tuesday by the centrist think tank Third Way reveals that high-achieving undergraduate Millennials don’t think much of the teaching profession and would rather choose a different career. According to the study of 400 college students with GPAs of 3.3 or greater, only 35 percent described teachers as "smart," half said the profession had gotten less prestigious over the years, and most described teaching as the top profession for "average" people. ... According to the report, a majority of America’s future teachers now come from the bottom two-thirds of their college classes..."

Klein tells us the Third Way report, co-authored by Lanae Erickson Hatalsky,

called for an expansion of accountability measures that would reward effective teachers through salary increases and career growth opportunities, while working to keep ineffective teachers out of the classroom. "I just don’t think ambitious millennials want to be in that type of system, where the amount of work they put in and results they get have no bearing on the type of career they have going forward," said Hatalsky. "I think that especially for millennials it’s not just about money, its about being able to challenge themselves and take on more responsibility."

Burglars stole thousands of pounds of property while a couple were upstairs bathing their children.

Among the items taken was a rare Nelson Mandela commemorative coin during the break-in in Chorley last month.

The burglary took place around 5.15pm on New Year’s Day at a house in Carr Lane whilst the occupants were upstairs bathing their children.

The offenders gained access through a closed but unlocked rear door and searched the property before leaving with various items of stolen property.

Items stolen included a limited edition Nelson Mandela commemorative coin in a green felt pouch, three laptops including a new pink ASUS one, a Samsung video camera, a Sony projector and Armani wristwatch.

Sergeant Paul Bamber from the Chorley burglary team said: “This burglary was committed by an opportunist thief whilst the family were upstairs.

“I urge anyone with any knowledge of who is responsible or anybody who may know the whereabouts of the property has been taken to contact the burglary team at Chorley. The Nelson Mandela coin in particular is an unusual item and if seen would be easily recognisable.”

Anyone with information should contact Lancashire Police on 101.

Ameba RPG

I needed a project in AP Biology, so when there was an opportunity to make a game (e.g. board game) that taught students biology, I jumped on my computer and started coding. I luckily recycled much of the engine from Sandak, but ended up adding a number of new features. It's not really a full project, but represented quite a time investment by completion.

Ameba is a text based adventure game. Your goal is to survive while learning about the various cellular organelles. The game revolves around energy. Energy can be gained by digesting material you find floating in the pond and by digesting enemies after you have killed them. You use energy to complete actions like move or attack. You can also spend energy developing your internal systems. By doing this, you can become better at some actions, such as attacking. Your organelle development level controls your attack and defense rating. Attack rating is the maximum amount of damage you inflict on the opposing organism. If your attack rating was 4 you can do 1-4 damage, assuming that you hit in the first place. Determining if an attack hits is based on the defense rating of the opponent. If your defense rating was 3 you have a 30% chance to block or dodge an attack. Enemies have their own ratings to determine how much damage they do to you and how often you hit them. During a battle, damage sustained will reduce your energy. Energy is analogous to life (HP), with out it you will die. You can die in battle from enemy attacks or from moving around without replenishing your energy.

There are 5 distinct sections to the game screen.

  • Location: This describes the area you are in.
  • Items: This lists the various food items present in the area. Next to each item is the amount on energy they are worth.
  • Enemies: This lists the other organisms in the area that are possible food sources.
  • Directions: This lists the possible direction to travel from your current area. For instance if it displayed NWS: You could go North, West, or South, but not East.
  • Energy: This text represents your current energy level. Maximum is 100. So if you have 40 energy it would say 40/100.

Commands are what you will do to control your ameba. They should be typed in as lower case. It is not necessary to type in the whole command. If you want to take a certain item, type “t”, then enter. It will then list the items in that area. Type the number of the corresponding item and hit enter. It will then ask you where you want to store it. Type in the vacuole number and hit enter. Congratulations you just stored a item.

Command list:

  • TAKE– Allows you to engulf a specified item and store it in a particular vacuole for later use.
  • USE– Use has two sub-options: Use item and Use energy. “Use item” allow you to digest one of the food sources you have stored in one of your vacuoles. “Use energy” allows you to invest energy in your internal systems. Every 10 energy invested should on average boost your organelle development rating by 1. Spending more energy make you more powerful and allows you to defeat harder enemies to sustain yourself. If you are running low on energy, you can always take out some energy by typing in a negative number. However, this weakens you. It a good idea to always leave your self with at least 30 energy.
  • ATTACK– Allows you to attack a particular enemy in your area. If you win the battle you engulf the enemy automatically and gain its energy. Some enemies are harder than others, so keep record of what types are good. Every turn in a battle requires energy so you slowly expend energy to keep attacking. If you feel that you might die, you can flee by typing FLEE. However, your enemy may prevent you from escaping. Enemies can also flee if they feel they are going to die. You can always type the USE command to digest some items stored in your vacuoles for a quick energy boost.
  • INVENTORY– Displays your current status (items in vacuoles, attack and defense rating, and organelle development)

Press on to Maturity

Discussion in 'Bible Study' started by SueJLove, Jul 11, 2015.

  1. Saturday, July 11, 2015, 6:33 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “Oh, To Be Like Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Hebrews 5:11-6:12 (NASB).

    The Elementary Principles (5:11-14)

    Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

    This is a sad reality in the church here in America today. So many, many people claim to be Christians and followers of Christ, and yet so many of them are still spiritual infants, or else they never really were born again, but only made a profession of Christ as Savior. The church is largely at fault here, because they have compromised with the world and have partnered with an evil government, and have turned the church into a corporation (business) of human origin, run and marketed just like any other human business. The gospel has thus been diluted so as not to offend the customer base, and in order to make the gospel more attractive and appealing to this sinful world. Not even the elementary principles of the oracles of God are being taught in many congregations, many of which have shied away from such words as sin, repentance, obedience, and submission, etc.

    So many who call themselves Christians here in America have become dull of hearing, because they have been dumbed down by TV, movies, video games, social media, news media, TV commercials, and the like, to accept the idea that life should be about working, eating, sleeping and being entertained. The introduction of home computers, IPads (tablets), and smart phones has only increased the accessibility and pull towards being entertained and having fun all the time, and it has opened wide the door to all sorts of evil made available at people’s finger tips, in the privacy of their homes, and largely absent of any accountability. The church has only helped to promote this as they have also focused much attention on entertainment and having fun, and on making people feel good all the time, and on helping them to not feel threatened, judged or uncomfortable in any way.

    As a result, there are many people here in America who have claimed to be Christians most of their lives, but from all outward appearance their lives seem to be focused largely on themselves and not on God at all. So, they do need to be taught the elementary principles all over again, or for the first time ever, because so much of the church is not teaching these truths anymore. A big problem, I believe, in the church today, is that so many of our men, including a large number of pastors, have become pornography addicts, because pornography is so easily accessible now via home computers, tablets and smart phones, which provide completely private internet access with no accountability. This has, thus, emasculated our men so that so few of them are godly leaders anymore. And, that has been a big downfall in the church and in the home. So few men are spiritual leaders in their homes or in the church, and thus the church has become so much now just like the world.

    This modern-day gospel, absent of the cross of Christ in the lives of individual Christians, or in the lives of professing Christians only, has only paved the way for this lack of teaching in righteousness and holy living in the church, and for the large absence of those within the church who are living spiritually mature lives, devoted to Jesus Christ and to obedience.

    Press On To Maturity (6:1-3)

    Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And this we will do, if God permits.

    For us to leave the elementary teaching about Christ and to move on to maturity, we have to have first of all laid the foundation of these elementary truths, and the people must have been truly born of the Spirit of God. Since so many pastors are no longer teaching about sin and the need to repent of sin, it is impossible to move on to maturity, because so many who call themselves Christians never repented of their sins, and thus they are not really saved. Others may or may not be saved, but have been convinced that God really requires nothing of them other than to believe, and that he smiles on them and is pleased with them no matter what they do. So, they have none or few encouraging them toward maturity. If they are convinced that all there is to salvation is “getting saved,” then going to heaven when they die, then what is to motivate them toward maturity? Yet, scripture is real clear that if, after we make a confession of Christ as Savior, we continue to conduct our lives in the flesh, and not after the Spirit, we will not have the promise of eternal life, but we will die.

    So, let’s first of all lay the foundation of this elementary teaching about Christ. When Jesus began his earthly ministry, and he began to proclaim the “Good News,” he said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mk. 1:15). Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Lu. 13:3, 5). “Repent” means to have a change of mind; think differently afterwards; and change the inner man. Biblically speaking, it is used in reference to forsaking sins and turning to follow Jesus Christ (God) with our lives. Jesus said that if anyone would come after him, he must deny himself (his self-life), take up his cross daily (die daily to sin and self), and follow (obey) him. He said if we hold on to our lives (of living for sin and self), we will lose them (for eternity), but if we lose our lives (die to sin and self), we will gain eternal life (Lu. 9:23-25). He said his sheep (his followers) know his voice, they listen to him, and they follow (obey) him. These are the ones who cannot be snatched out of the Lord’s hands (Jn. 10:27-30).

    A Warning (6:4-8)

    For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

    There is a serious warning here in relation to those who have NOT moved on to maturity, but who have remained spiritual infants for a long while. There is a high risk factor that they may “fall away,” and not be able to be brought back to repentance. So, what does it mean here to “fall away”? It means: “I fall away, fall back (into the unbelieving and godless ways of the old time). Parapíptō (from pará, ‘from close-beside’ and píptō, ‘to fall’) – properly, fall away, after being close-beside; to defect (abandon)” ( This is not to say that one can’t backslide, then come to his senses, repent of sin and be revived. This is speaking of those who willfully choose to reject Christ and go back to living in an unregenerate state of mind after having been partakers of the Holy Spirit. This also does not discount the possibility of those who were never truly saved, but who need to have genuine conversions.

    Only God knows our hearts, and he alone knows who are truly his, so he is the only judge of such matters. Yet, there are many solemn warnings in the New Testament concerning those who think they know Christ, but who do not know him, because they never repented of their sins, and because they never turned to follow (obey) Christ. Also, there are multiple solemn warnings in the New Testament regarding those who began with Christ, but who never moved on to maturity, as being those who are in danger of falling away and of not being able to be brought back to Christ. So, we should take these warnings seriously. We need to remember here that true faith is repentant, obedient, submissive and continuous (ongoing), and that only those who are presently believing in Jesus have the hope of eternal life. We cannot have the hope of eternal life on the basis of past faith. We also have to remember that our salvation is a continuous process (having been saved, are being saved, and will be saved), and it will not be complete until Jesus Christ returns for his bride.

    The Same Diligence (6:9-12)

    But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

    Yet, not everyone is faking their Christianity, or is deceived into believing they are saved when they are not, or is in grave danger of falling away from Christ beyond recovery. There are many followers of Christ in this world of ours who are fully devoted to Jesus Christ, many of whom are presently suffering much severe persecution, even to the point of death, for their faith in Christ and for their testimonies for him and for the gospel of our salvation. They have left the elementary teachings about Christ, and they have moved on to maturity. They are walking the talk and are not just talking the walk. They understand that faith in Christ means death to sin and living to righteousness; death to self and living for Christ. They listen to their Lord daily, and they follow him in obedience and in surrender to his will for their lives. And, they are willing to lay down their lives for him and for his gospel, because they love their Lord, and because they know that the true gospel is the only hope for the people of this world, for without Christ, people are doomed to eternal damnation.

    Yet, this is not speaking of sinless perfection, but of the process of continually conducting our lives no longer after the flesh, but according to (in agreement with) the Spirit of God.

    Such believers as these, who walk according to the Spirit, also care deeply about the spiritual growth and maturity of their fellow believers in Jesus Christ. So, they follow Christ in ministering to and in encouraging the saints of God to follow Christ with their lives, and to no longer follow the ways of this sinful world. At the very least, those who know Christ, but who have slipped back into following after the flesh and the ways of this sinful world, are in danger of missing out on all the spiritual blessings of obedience to Christ that could be theirs, such as being used of God to encourage, to strengthen and to bring much spiritual comfort to their fellow believers, and such as God using them to spread the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that many can hear, can turn, and can be saved.

    Yet, we must not ignore these many grave warnings which teach that Christians can fall away from faith in Christ, beyond recovery, and which teach that there are many, who think they are saved, who will one day hear God say, “I never knew you. Depart from me.” God is not someone to play games with. Take him seriously! He will do what he says he will do.

    Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer
    Thomas O. Chisholm / W. J. Kirkpatrick

    Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
    This is my constant longing and prayer;
    Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
    Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

    Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
    Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
    Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
    Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

    O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
    Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
    Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
    Willing to suffer others to save.

    O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
    Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
    Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
    Fit me for life and Heaven above.

    Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
    Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
    Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
    Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

  2. Sadly, one of the hallmarks of "Evangelical Christianity" is never moving from the milk to anything else...

    The thing that mystifies me is that there is a great hunger among Christians for the real meat - they just have no where to get it.... Real solid bible teaching that goes deeper than the typical cotton candy sunday morning sermons...

    So.. on the one hand - we know that this is such a huge focus from the denominations that when a Pastor WANTS to do things to take his church from Milk to Meat - he gets rebuffed by the Conference/Denomination organization.... Oh... We want you to focus on Evangelical Christianity...

    Then - pastors tend to be massively overburdened with the day to day tasks of counseling, visiting, preparing for Sunday, fighting the fires that pop up continually (Worship leader sick and there's no plan for Sunday.. Sunday school teachers flaking out and disappearing at the last minute... In-fighting and griping... Etc) and general administration of the church.... so developing curriculum for a rigorous christian education program ends up at the bottom of the pile...

    But.. I think there's something more insidious going on in some places... and I believe a lot of it stems from "postmodern" seminaries which specialize in teaching all sorts of anti-biblical mumbo-jumbo and "Higher Criticism" cloaked in the name of Christianity... And... When you teach The Genuine Article... When you prepare and equip the Laity to be "Self Feeders" - they start sniffing out the apostate and anti-biblical teaching that masquerades for Christianity... They start being able to sniff out Apostasy in the Leadership and discern truth of the scripture vs on the scripture and the message.... I think a lot of leadership is scared of this... Their answer is to VERY carefully control the bible teaching... Make sure that there aren't too many people around who could challenge them.. Make sure that the people who are "Taught" are only taught the doctrines that they want to be propagated - not just simply turning them loose with a goal of gaining an in-depth knowledge of the entire scripture...

Taylor University’s Simeon Series Features Sinclair Ferguson

Dr. Sinclair Ferguson was the featured speaker for Taylor University's recently-concluded Second Annual Charles Simeon Sermons. The series began in 2004 with John Stott as the inaugurating expositor, and seeks to reflect Charles Simeon's legacy of excellence in Bible teaching.

"This is the kind of event for which students come to Taylor," Campus Pastor Randy Gruendyke said. "The Simeon sermons are not happening at State U. this week or any other week for that matter."

Gruendyke said offering the Simeon Sermons helps the community recognize and appreciate Bible exegesis, and the shortage of good Bible exposition is a problem in theological education and pulpits across America.

"If they use the Bible, they use it as a launching pad that sends them into the atmosphere of some topic that they want to address," Gruendyke said. "That topic is often times understood in a therapeutic fashion, a moralistic fashion or a pragmatic fashion, but not necessarily in a Biblical fashion. They may begin with the Bible, but once they leave that launch pad, they don't often return to the Bible."

Ferguson challenged his audience to go to scripture when confronted with a difficult situation rather than to the latest book by a Christian author.

"Read this book. The first 20 get it free," he said with an air of sarcasm. The audience laughed, realizing the first 20 to arrive at Ferguson's sermon on Thursday night would receive one of his books free.

"It was very clear in Simeon's sermon that it was not his personality … but the word of God that left its impact," Ferguson said.

Dr. Ferguson began the week's sermons by looking at our needs, God's provision and our experience of reconciliation through 2 Cor. 5: 9-21. On Wednesday, he discussed transformation in Christ using Col. 3: 1-17. Speaking of ambition for Christ he interpreted Phil. 3: 1-21.

Thursday he exposed opposition to Christ in Eph. 6:10-20. He completed Friday, speaking about Rom. 8: 9-32 and communion with Christ.

Dr. Ferguson is a systematic theology professor at the Westminster Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, and serves as editor for The Banner of Truth Trust. He also speaks all over the world and teaches a Sunday school class of 170.

He has authored books for children and adults, including "Taking the Christian Life Seriously", "The Big Book of Questions and Answers About Jesus" and "Let's Study Mark."

The sermons' namesake, Charles Simeon, pastored Holy Trinity Church in England for 54 years. Simeon practiced and taught the art of Biblical exposition in the early 19th century.

"He was a lifelong bachelor and one of his greatest burdens was for university students so there's something very appropriate about the fact that the sermons here at Taylor are entitled the Simeon Sermons," Ferguson said.

Simeon's legacy influenced the founding of the University and College Christian Fellowship, the Church Missionary Society in England and the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in the United States.

The Parisian costume party featured a man in a dog collar, a dwarf, a nearly naked nun — and a rather well known guest named Pippa Middleton, younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge.

Middleton, 28, was in the headlines Tuesday, with photographs of her appearance at a friend's decadent birthday party splashed across the Daily Mail tabloid.

The pictures are striking: women in revealing, low-cut period costumes from the 18th-century playacting with men in fancy clothes and spiky leather collars and bracelets.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment, but the racy coverage was likely not well received by Britain's royal family, which has been enjoying a popularity boost since the former Kate Middleton's fairytale wedding to Prince William last year.

"A lot of the world considers that she (Pippa) is royal, and by association what she does has an influence on the royal family," said Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty magazine.

"It's unfortunate for Pippa, it's quite difficult for her," Seward said of the tabloid reports. "She has all the downside and not the upside. I know she had has a very hard time."

More Information

Pippa Middleton holds no royal title, but her life has been subject to intense scrutiny since she captured attention at her sister's wedding with a close-fitting maid of honor dress.

Lugoff Fire Department to escort Santa Claus through town

Posted: December 12, 2013 5:57 p.m.
Updated: December 13, 2013 5:00 a.m.

The Lugoff Fire Department (LFD) will have the honor of escorting Santa Claus through the neighborhoods in Lugoff again this year. Santa will be escorted through different areas of the Lugoff community each night. Lugoff firefighters enjoy this event each year so children can have the opportunity to see the "Jolly One" before he comes on Christmas night.

The LFD has been able to host this event for several years at the request of many members of the community. Many kids sit out on the front lawns of their homes waiting for Santa to arrive on the fire truck.

Parents can call the LFD at 438-2553 to find out which day Santa will visit their neighborhood.

The tentative schedule, weather and staff permitting, is as follows:

Monday: US 601 area and US 1/Pepperidge Area

Tuesday: Boulware Road Area and Conifer Acres Area

Thursday: Ward/Lachicotte Road Area and U.S. 1 South-Pine Mark/Four Seasons Area

Friday: Ridgeway Rd/S.C 34 Area and Pine Grove Road Area

Saturday, Dec. 21: Make-Up Day for areas missed

Santa will ride through each neighborhood on the fire engine from 6 to 8 p.m. nightly. Engine drivers will have the red lights activated on the fire truck and will carefully use the siren horn to let residents know Santa is riding through.

Sunderland's fight to survive will be over if they are beaten at Birmingham this afternoon. Paul Gilder looks back on a bleak week for Wearside.

WITH up to 83 redundancies, debts of £26m, nine straight league defeats, three managers, 15 unwanted players and only 19 points on the board, playing the numbers game has not been a happy hobby of late at the Stadium of Light.

Four seasons in the Premiership are likely to come to an end unless Sunderland can take three points at St Andrew's this afternoon.

With the club's financial problems rising by the day, the human price to be paid for tumbling out of the top flight was brought home in depressing fashion as Wearside awoke on Wednesday morning.

"The announcement was a major disappointment to us all," said a glum Kevin Kilbane, reflecting on the news that as many as 83 club staff will find themselves out of work this summer as a result of a season of struggle on the pitch.

"Ultimately, our performances as players have cost people their jobs and we have all got to shoulder the blame. That is hard to take, it isn't a nice thing for any of us to have to think about. It is very difficult.

"These are staff, many of whom the public never see, who have been doing their jobs tremendously well for a number of years.

"But these are the people who find themselves out of a job and everybody has found that a difficult thing to come to terms with this week."

The considerable disappointment has been etched on the faces of the downcast players since Wednesday's announcement.

Mick McCarthy met his team the following morning to implore them to keep smiling. In reality, though, it hasn't been easy to keep the spirits up.

"People are very sad, very angry and very upset - justifiably so - and that concerns me," said a manager who needs to lift his team this afternoon as they attempt to avoid setting a new club record of 10 successive defeats in league football.

McCarthy, who insists that his eyes were wide open when he took the job last month, has got to stay positive.

Yet he knows that, despite the unwavering support of Sunderland fans, a sizeable dose of dissatisfaction will be aimed in the direction of his highly paid players in the coming months.

"The playing staff reflect everything," said the former Republic of Ireland coach.

"They bask in the glory when things are going well but, when they are going wrong, it is unfortunate that a lot of other people have got to pay the price. I feel really sorry for everybody who is suffering as a result of all this."

It would be wrong to suggest that an improvement in Sunderland's fortunes on the pitch could ever compensate for that suffering. But, in the eyes of Kilbane, the events of a traumatic week will give the players extra motivation in the West Midlands this afternoon.

"These things have got to spur us on," said the midfielder. "We have got to try and give ourselves some pride back, we have got to give the supporters some pride back and we have got to get rid of this losing mentality.

"Things could be settled this weekend but I think that, even if it (relegation) doesn't happen, we will only be delaying the inevitable. We have just got to go there, relax and enjoy the kind of football we know we can play.

"It is frustrating that the good performances have been too few and far between this season. We owe the fans one now."

Debt-ridden and depressed, sinking Sunderland will be remembered for all the wrong reasons when this season of strife is assessed.

The Black Cats have already set a new mark for the longest losing run in Premiership football, a sequence which stretches back to January 18.

A team who have collected just one point this year still need six more if they are to beat the record low tally set by Watford three seasons ago - and that looks like a tall order. "We proved last week against Chelsea that we can play some good stuff but we just haven't been anywhere near consistent enough," added Kilbane, who has been part of a winning league team just three times all season.

"We haven't consistently been producing those performances and everybody knows that, it is plain to see.

"That's why we're in the position that we are. We need to be turning in those kind of performances week in, week out.

"We will go to Birmingham knowing that if we win then we could put them in a bit of trouble.

"They are struggling to win at the moment and they could be dragged into it. That's all we can do."

"Set Phasers to stunning.."

It’s a magazine, but not as we know it…

I have three serious passions in life that are going to sound extremely sad, (even to me) when written down. They are, in no particular order: Only Fools and Horses, James Bond and Star Trek.

So, when laid up in hospital the other week, I was overjoyed when a colleague came by to see me bearing a copy of Star Trek Monthly.

I have seen the magazine in newsagents but must admit that I am too tight to spend three pounds fifty on an unknown quantity. I have previously satiated my thirst for all things Trekie in the form of Video, T.V., Film, and the net.

I have been seriously missing out!

This magazine is a must for serious Star Trek fans. It has 68 pages, 16 of which are advertisements for other magazines in this genre; the next issue of S.T.M. and merchandising connected with all five of the Star Trek series. This I would estimate is on a par with other fanzines, if not slightly lower.

The Contents.
10 pages of news about the cast of shows past and present, conventions, episode updates and just about anything that the reporters can find connected to Star Trek. This month’s issue includes an article about some cast members facing their worst adversary to date. Colder than the Borg Queen, fiercer than a Klingon with a hangover and less cuddly than a Tribble, they face Anne Robinson in a special U.S. edition of Star Trek The Weakest Link. Hope they show it here.

There is a 7-page section of Fact Versus Fiction where real life achievements are paralleled in the fictitious world of Star Trek; creating for sad sods like myself an actual time line following on from our present to our possible future. (I warned you that it got sad).

The remainder consists of interviews with cast members of past and present shows with the main focus being the brand new show Enterprise, (look out for a review when I get the video from my buddy who has Sky). It stars Scott Bakula of Quantum Leap fame as Captain Jonathan Archer in a prequel to the Captain Kirk days of the space bound exploration.

For the unfortunates like myself who do not have Sky or Cable the future episodes section can spoil it for fans; but I cannot wait until my buddy fills a blank tape.

As I said earlier this is a hard-core fanzine and may not be appreciated by the casual fan; especially with that hefty price tag, but for the true Trekie…give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Windows 8 users face patch spigot shutoff in 7 months

Must update to Windows 8.1 before Jan. 12, 2016, or do that and then upgrade to Windows 10

3 windows 8 store app tile bloatware

Windows 8 users have a little less than seven months to move to Windows 8.1 or be severed from Microsoft's security update stream.

The 2012 operating system will be retired from support on Jan. 12, 2016. After that date -- which is the month's traditional patch-release day -- users of Windows 8 will not see further security updates, including those for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11), the OS's bundled browser.

To continue to receive security updates, Windows 8 users must upgrade to Windows 8.1, the free 2013 edition available from the Windows Store, Microsoft's app market.

The January 2016 deadline has been in place since the debut of Windows 8.1 nearly two years ago, and was positioned as analogous to the 24-month grace period previously given to customers for migrating from a core OS to that operating system's first "service pack."

Although the service pack concept is now moot -- wounded by Windows 8 and to be authoritatively killed by Windows 10 -- Microsoft described the Windows 8-to-Windows 8.1 requirement in service pack terms.

"Historically, we've had a similar support approach related to Windows service packs," Microsoft stated in a long FAQ. "When a Windows service pack is released, Microsoft provides customers 24 months of support for the prior service pack or original RTM version. We designed Windows 8.1 to give customers an ability to deploy [it] in a manner that is similar to how customers deploy service packs, therefore we are applying the existing service pack support policy to Windows 8.1."

There is a not-insignificant number of devices running Windows 8, according to Web analytics company Net Applications. For May, Net Applications estimated that Windows 8 powered 3.9% of all Windows personal computers, while the newer Windows 8.1 ran on about 14.1% of Windows PCs.

Using the 1.5 billion number that Microsoft claims as the total of devices that run Windows worldwide -- a number some believe is overinflated, while others think it is an undercount -- Windows 8 is on approximately 63 million systems, Windows 8.1 on 226 million.

Windows 8's user share, a rough estimate of the number of the devices running the OS, is almost double that of Microsoft's even bigger flop of 2007, Windows Vista, which last month powered about 2.2% of all Windows PCs.

Unlike machines equipped with Windows 8.1, those running the year-older Windows 8 cannot upgrade directly to Windows 10, and are, in fact, not eligible for the free upgrade Microsoft will offer through the end of July 2016.

More specifically, Windows 8.1 must, at a minimum, be the version dubbed "Windows 8.1 Update," which Microsoft delivered in April 2014, and notoriously demanded that consumers install within one month, and businesses within four.

Windows 8 users thus have two paths to continued support: Upgrade to Windows 8.1 and stay there, or update to Windows 8.1, then upgrade to Windows 10. The latter is more sensible. But some will resist migrating to Windows 10. Many of those will not want to lose Windows Media Center, the DVR-like add-on that Microsoft sold for $9.99 to people running Windows 8 Pro.

"If you have ... Windows 8 Pro with Media Center or Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and you install Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed," Microsoft acknowledged in a specifications listing for Windows 10.

Microsoft has published a detailed tutorial on how to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 on its website.

Windows 8 usage Data: Net Applications

Windows 8, while powering a decreasing percentage of PCs running either it or Windows 8.1, still runs 1 in 5 of those devices. Users have 7 months to update to Windows 8.1 or migrate to Windows 10.

This story, "Windows 8 users face patch spigot shutoff in 7 months" was originally published by Computerworld.

Lenovo's 360-degree Yoga 900 laptop answers the Surface Book's challenge

Lenovo improves the premium convertible's famous watchband hinge and prices its configurations from $1200 to $1500. Yes, there's Skylake, too.

Lenovo’s new Yoga 900 should be one of the strongest competitors against the surprise Surface Book flagship from Microsoft. If nothing else, it has the best answer to the Surface Book’s dual-fulcrum hinge: a strong, elegant watchband hinge, a carryover from the Yoga 900’s year-old predecessor, the Yoga 3 Pro.

Crafted from more than 800 individual pieces and capable of 360-degree rotation, there’s still nothing else like this mechanism on any other device, and it remains a standout feature for the now-renamed product line. Lenovo also says it improved the hinge, making it smoother to operate.

Lenovo’ s watchband-like hinge consists of more than 800 individual pieces.

Not that this laptop is starving for highlights. The Yoga 900 is a superslim 0.59-inch laptop weighing a mere 2.8 pounds. Inside, the Yoga 900 will show off all the latest hardware upgrades. Start with the CPUs: 6th-generation Intel "Skylake" chips, either the Core i5-6200U or the Core i7-6500U. The various SKUs will offer 8GB or 16GB of DDR3L memory, and 256GB or 512GB of Samsung SSD storage.

The Lenovo Yoga 900’s stand mode works for watching videos easily from our other devices. Lenovo

The 13.3-inch IPS display offers a crisp, 3200x1800-pixel resolution (QHD+) and 10-point touch. There appears to be nothing that special about the integrated graphics—Lenovo offered no details. By comparison, the Surface Book offers a discrete GPU on some pricier models.

Lenovo claims the battery on the Yoga 900 will last up to 9 hours.

The Yoga 900 will be available at Best Buy and Lenovo’s website starting Monday. Prices will start at $1200 and top out at $1500. You even have three color choices: Clementine Orange, Champagne Gold, and Platinum Silver. (All the photos in this article show Champagne Gold.) Stay tuned for a review once we get our hands on a unit.

Why this matters: Lenovo didn’t know about the Surface Book when it was developing the Yoga 900—no one did. Microsoft’s surprise super-laptop has made an already-competitive flagship market downright brutal. The Yoga 900 lacks the discrete GPU offering on some Surface Books, but it still has a versatile design on its side.

This story, "Lenovo's 360-degree Yoga 900 laptop answers the Surface Book's challenge" was originally published by PCWorld.

AMD: No Antitrust Worries Over ATI Deal

By Reuters  |  Posted 10-13-2008 Print Email
AMD says the Justice department ended its investigation over pricing, marketing practices of ATI Technologies, which AMD bought in late 2006.

The U.S. Department of Justice has ended its probe into potential antitrust violations involving graphics chips makers and taken no action, Advanced Micro Devices said on Monday.

The company said the DOJ had informed AMD and ATI Technologies on Friday that it had closed its investigation into ATI Technologies' pricing and marketing practices in the sale of graphics processing units.

AMD entered the graphics business after acquiring Canadian company ATI Technologies in October 2006. The DOJ started its probe in December 2006, when it issued subpoenas to AMD and Nvidia.

Estonian Cyber Security Strategy Document: Translated and Public

Don't miss a thing – sign up for CircleID Weekly Wrap newsletter delivered to your inbox once a week.
Gadi Evron

The Estonians have a public version of their cyber security strategy translated into English (currently available offline only see update below). The concept of a national strategy for cyber security is one which I am particularly fond of (also see previous post, An Account of the Estonian Internet War).

The following is the Summary section from the document which might be of interest (Estonian Cyber Security Strategy — Cyber Security Strategy Committee, Ministry of Defence, ESTONIA, Tallinn 2008):

* * *

The asymmetrical threat posed by cyber attacks and the inherent vulnerabilities of cyberspace constitute a serious security risk confronting all nations. For this reason, the cyber threats need to be addressed at the global level. Given the gravity of the threat and of the interests at stake, it is imperative that the comprehensive use of information technology solutions be supported by a high level of security measures and be embedded also in a broad and sophisticated cyber security culture.

It is an essential precondition for the securing of cyberspace that every operator of a computer, computer network or information system realises the personal responsibility of using the data and instruments of communication at his or her disposal in a purposeful and appropriate manner.

Estonia's cyber security strategy seeks primarily to reduce the inherent vulnerabilities of cyberspace in the nation as a whole. This will be accomplished through the implementation of national action plans and through active international co-operation, and so will support the enhancement of cyber security in other countries as well.

In advance of our strategic objectives on cyber security, the following policy fronts have been identified:

  • application of a graduated system of security measures in Estonia;
  • development of Estonia's expertise in and high awareness of information security to the highest standard of excellence;
  • development of an appropriate regulatory and legal framework to support the secure and seamless operability of information systems;
  • promoting international co-operation aimed at strengthening global cyber security.

Policies for enhancing cyber security

1. The development and large-scale implementation of a system of security measures

The dependence of the daily functioning of society on IT solutions makes the development of adequate security measures an urgent need. Every information system owner must acknowledge the risks related to the disturbance of the service he or she provides. Up-to-date and economically expedient security measures must therefore be developed and implemented. The key objectives in developing and implementing a system of security measures are as follows:

  • to bolster requirements for the security of critical infrastructures in order to increase its resistance, and that of related services, against threats in cyberspace; to tighten the security goals of the information systems and services provided by the critical infrastructure;
  • to strengthen the physical and logical infrastructure of the Internet. The security of the Internet is vital to ensuring cyber security, since most of cyberspace is Internet-based. The main priorities in this respect are: strengthening the infrastructure of the Internet, including domain name servers (DNS); improving the automated restriction of Internet service users according to the nature of their traffic, and increasing the widespread use of means of authentication;
  • to enhance the security of the control systems of Estonia's critical infrastructure,
  • to improve on an incessant basis the capacity to meet the emergence of newer and technologically more advanced assault methods;
  • to enhance inter-agency co-operation and co-ordination in ensuring cyber security and to continue public and private sector co-operation in protecting the critical information infrastructure.

2. Increasing competence in cyber security

In order to achieve the necessary competence in the field of cyber security, the following objectives have been established for training and research:

  • to provide high quality and accessible information security-related training in order to achieve competence in both the public and private sectors; to this end, to establish common requirements for IT staff competence in information security and to set up a system for in-service training and evaluation;
  • to intensify research and development in cyber security so as to ensure national defence in that field; to enhance international research co-operation; and to ensure competence in providing high-level training;
  • to ensure readiness in managing cyber security crises in both the public and private sectors;
  • to develop expertise in cyber security based on innovative research and development.

3. Improvement of the legal framework for supporting cyber security

The development of domestic and international legislation in the field of cyber security is aimed at:

  • aligning Estonia's legal framework with the objectives and requirements of the Cyber Security Strategy;
  • developing legislation on protection of the critical information infrastructure;
  • participating in international law-making in the field of cyber security and taking steps internationally to introduce and promote legislative solutions developed in Estonia.

4. Bolstering international co-operation

In terms of developing international co-operation in ensuring cyber security, the Strategy aims at:

  • achieving worldwide moral condemnation of cyber attacks given their negative effects on people's lives and the functioning of society, while recognising that meeting the cyber threats should not serve as a pretext for undermining human rights and democratic freedoms;
  • promoting countries' adopting of international conventions regulating cyber crime and cyber attacks, and making the content of such conventions known to the international public;
  • participating in the development and implementation of international cyber security policies and the shaping of the global cyber culture;
  • developing co-operative networks in the field of cyber security and improving the functioning of such networks.

5. Raising awareness on cyber security

Raising public awareness on the nature and urgency of the cyber threats might be achieved by:

  • presenting Estonia's expertise and experience in the area of cyber security at both the domestic and international level, and supporting co-operative networks;
  • raising awareness of information security among all computer users with particular focus on individual users and SMEs by informing the public about threats existing in the cyberspace and improving knowledge on the safe use of computers;
  • co-ordinating the distribution of information on cyber threats and organising the awareness campaigns in co-operation with the private sector.

Before A Flood

Educate Yourself

Only flood insurance covers flood damage.  After getting flood insurance, there are several things you can do to minimize losses in your home and ensure your family’s safety.

  1. Safeguard your possessions.
    • A copy of your insurance policies with your agents contact information.
    • A household inventory: for insurance purposes.
    • Copies of all other critical documents, including finance records or receipts of major purchases.
  2. Prepare your home.
    • Make sure your sump pump is working.
      •  In case of a power failure, install a battery-operated backup.
      • Install a water alarm, this will alert you if water is accumulating in your basement.
    • Clear debris from gutters and downspouts.
    • Anchor fuel tanks.
    • Raise your electrical components - at least 12 inches above your home’s projected flood elevation.
    • Place the furnace, water heater, washer and dryer on cement blocks - at least 12 inches above the projected flood elevation.
    • Move furniture, valuables, and important documents to a safe place.
  3. Develop a family plan.
    • Create a safety kit.
    • Post emergency telephone numbers by the phone and teach your children how to dial 911.
    • Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family.
      • Know safe routes from home, work, and school that are on higher ground.
      • Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to be your emergency family contact.
    • Have a plan to protect your pets.

Re: “Dems Blow It Again

To Chuck Heald @ Lifebanc - The supply is not there? Is that why Lifebanc takes organs from people whos families don't want to go through with it just because they said yes on their license? Do you not realize that the families are the ones who have to live with the decision that is made? Do you realize that circumstances change and the first thing people don't think of is to change their drivers license ( a quick 10 sec yes in line at the BMV)? I think Lifebanc has lost sight of what they are suppose to be doing

Re: “Gift of Life Walk and Run

I am all for organ donation and saving lives but when my mom had a brain bleed last month and they approched my father about organ donation, he stated she had been through enough and didn't feel he wanted to donate, they had the nerve to tell him they were going to go foward with the donation anyhow because she had signed up on her drivers license and had already given permission, they didn't need his. I don't think someone saying "do you want to be an donor" when you are renewing your license and probably rushed would be considered informed consent. I have since taken myself off the BMV and so has the rest of my family, I would suggest everyone do the same. If you decide you want to be a donor, let your family know (Lifebanc will call you all night long as soon as your loved one dies) but circumstances change and the familes have to live with the decision that is made.

Re: “Carl Monday's Cattle-Call for Tips

I agree 100% Gary, my mom died last month and Lifebanc called all night long and then when I finally spoke with them I was told they didn't need my permission just my cooperation. They hounded me all night and into the next morning. I think they need to be investigated too. Have you seen their new building? Seems awful nice for a "nonprofit" organization and did you see the article that their CEO demands that anyone that works for them or does any work for them has to register on their license to be a donor? What kind of crap is that? I spoke to the nurse that cared for my mom and she said to tell them she had Hepatitis B or C and that would end the calls. Like you I am all for organ donation to save lives but they are crooked. Thanks for the info about bones and skin. I already took myself off the BMV as did the rest of my family.
