I said to her that I was flattered and was certain social services could learn a lot from me. For example, I have this idea that parenting is a lot like the free market. When businesses compete for your money, you get the best service available at the best price possible. Likewise, children should compete for their parent’s love. If you’re a parent like me, you know that there’s a limit on how much you can love. And, because there’s a high demand from children for the love of their parents, you can bet that they will be willing to compete for it. On FHE days, instead of having a board that lists who’s going to pray, share the scripture and provide refreshments, I’m going to have a ranking board that lists my favorite child to my least favorite. It’s kind of like a Dow Jones Industrial average for love. In this way, my children will always know where they stand with me. The top child will, of course, have more privileges than the other children. And, the bottom child will have more punishments. You know, the normal punishments: smaller food portions, more chores, constant looks of disapproval and disappointment, and of course the obligatory, “Why couldn’t you be more like your brother/sister” statements. If the free market is good enough for America, the land I love, why couldn’t it work for families? Not to mention, when you give children privileges they didn’t earn, they begin to feel a sense of entitlement. They lose perspective on what it means to really work for something. And, they lose the pride that comes with achievement. They just come to expect everything for free. I don’t know any parent who loves their children freely. Medical care is a perfect example. With the rising costs of healthcare these days, what better incentive is there for children than to compete for it? Say you have three kids; the best thing to do is to purchase health plans for the top two children. Basically what you’re doing here is using the time proven economic principle of scarcity. By making an essential resource limited, you can bet your children are going to do everything within their power to make certain they can get that vaccine for polio. Some of you are probably saying, “C’mon, as a parent, if your child gets sick you’re going to do everything within your power to make sure they get better.” This is true. But what you also need to do is constantly remind your child that even when they didn’t deserve to be taken to the emergency room, you took them anyway. This is how they will learn how much you really love them. Another idea I had for loving and effective parenting is to keep your children in constant fear of the boogieman. Growing up, my mother would threaten me and tell me that if I didn’t eat my rice, the boogieman would come to get me. This was effective at first, but over time, when the boogieman wouldn’t show up, the threat lost its inherent power. But, imagine if she had just taken it a step further. Imagine this, you tell your child that if they don’t eat their rice the boogieman will get them when they sleep. That night, after they’re fast asleep, you go to your closet, you put on the gorilla suit you bought at the D.I. for $10.95, and you march yourself into your child’s room and you scare them. You scare them until they wet their pants. That will teach them to eat their rice. Either that, or they’ll have an irrational fear of suburban gorillas. Either way, they will think twice before doubting you.  [image]My wife has threatened to call social services on me if I ever decide to implement some of my theories on parenting.

BYU—Idaho students and Rexburg residents have a new resource to expedite family history and temple work.   The new Web site—www.new.familysearch.org—was alluded to by President Hinckley in the October 2005 General Conference: “People in various nations simultaneously work on the same family lines . . . We, therefore, have been engaged for some time in a very difficult undertaking. To avoid such duplication, the solution lies in complex computer technology. Preliminary indications are that it will work, and if this is so, it will be a truly remarkable thing with worldwide implications.”   The new system is designed to reduce the duplication of temple work for the same individual and simplify the process of submitting names to the temple. The Rexburg Temple will no longer support the previous 16-step process—TempleReady.   Under the new program, members organize their family tree online and can update sources and other details known about their ancestors. In addition, records can be compared and combined with those prepared by others.  Members then select which ancestors they want to do work for and check to see if any work has already been done for those individuals. Members then print out a barcode for the selected ancestors.   Then off to the temple.   Temple workers scan the barcode and within minutes print off the pink and blue ordinance cards that are used for tracking temple ordinances.   Before FamilySearch, there was little help to determine if temple work for an individual was already done. The TempleReady program was only current up to December 31, 1999.  For example, the grandmother of Elizabeth Lovell—a junior from Henderson, Nevada—actively attended church until the end of her days. Now, years after her death, her grandmother’s work has been repeated six times.               Members create a username for the Web site by supplying their membership number and confirmation date. The Web site offers a number of tutorial overviews that walk first-time users through the menus and features to help them get started.   Douglas and Ardene Poole are the Family History Directors for the BYU–Idaho campus. They recommend that students keep offline copies of their research in programs like the Church’s Personal Ancestral File (PAF) and that they do their research from those records.   Many areas outside Idaho and Utah have had the new FamilySearch for some time.

In its rough phase, it's a prototype of how citizen and professional journalism ought to coexist. The current backlash against "media" is most certainly a result of an appearance of bias. News media stories about President Obama, abortion, gun control, gay marriage and others have caused consumers to turn away from many reputable news outlets. The i–Comm Web site appears to be different in a couple of ways. First, it's a traditional news outlet in the sense that there is an official staff of contributers who provide regular content. These contributers are BYU–Idaho students who are of different levels of experience when it comes to producing professional level news media. What makes the site different though is that any BYU–Idaho student can register and also submit stories. In this way, both semi-professional and citizen perspectives can take place. [image]The problem is with who censors and approves the submitted content. While still in its infancy, the site was launched without a clear set of guidelines governing content moderation. As a result, everything is highly moderated — and the process is very slow. Before I continue, there are some basic premises I have to establish: 1. BYU–I is affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a result, any content that is overtly contrary to that organization will not, and ought not to be "published." 2. One of the principles inherent in successful social mediums lies with the concept that consumers can self-censor. Successful media outlets will allow consumers a method to filter content or to reward content that pleases them. These two ideas are in conflict with each other. The i–Comm site is under intense scrutiny by the BYU–I administration. Rightfully so. Under the current political climate, the Church is being watched with a very powerful microscope. It would be against the university's interest to allow careless students to convey ideas that are grossly out of line with the mission of the university. On the other hand, why would students submit themselves to be moderated when they could easily go to Facebook and more easily reach an audience of their peers without the stern hand of the i–Comm moderator hovering over them. A recent post by my friend, Chris Kirkham, shows some flaws in the current progression of the site: 1. Chris says that posts without images will be rare. This restriction alone will limit the number of submissions to the site.

The site already has tons of methods built in to filter what stories consumers like and what they don't. The one thing they could add to the front Home page is a "Top Stories" section. This section would be based upon how many hits a story gets and how consumers rate it. The market will do it's job. If a story is interesting and people rate it well, than it will be placed higher on the list. Trust BYU–I students to do the right thing. I know the site is under intense scrutiny from the university administration, luckily it's not my hide on the line. I'm sensitive to the fact that an amazing social news site of this nature has to set the example for the rest of the industry. However, I'm certain that by allowing the BYU–I marketplace of values to filter stories, the site will attract more users, more readers and more advertisers. -Peter Nguyen   The i-Comm Web site is nothing less than revolutionary. In its rough phase, it's a prototype of how citizen and professional journalism ought to coexist. The current backlash against "media" is most certainly a result of an appearance of bias. News media stories about President Obama, abortion, gun control, gay marriage and others have caused consumers to turn away from many reputable news outlets. The i–Comm Web site appears to be different in a couple of ways. First, it's a traditional news outlet in the sense that there is an official staff of contributers who provide regular content. These contributers are BYU–Idaho students who are of different levels of experience when it comes to producing professional level news media. What makes the site different though is that any BYU–Idaho student can register and also submit stories. In this way, both semi-professional and citizen perspectives can take place. [image]The problem is with who censors and approves the submitted content. While still in its infancy, the site was launched without a clear set of guidelines governing content moderation. As a result, everything is highly moderated — and the process is very slow. Before I continue, there are some basic premises I have to establish: 1. BYU–I is affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a result, any content that is overtly contrary to that organization will not, and ought not to be "published." 2. One of the principles inherent in successful social mediums lies with the concept that consumers can self-censor. Successful media outlets will allow consumers a method to filter content or to reward content that pleases them. These two ideas are in conflict with each other. The i–Comm site is under intense scrutiny by the BYU–I administration. Rightfully so. Under the current political climate, the Church is being watched with a very powerful microscope. It would be against the university's interest to allow careless students to convey ideas that are grossly out of line with the mission of the university. On the other hand, why would students submit themselves to be moderated when they could easily go to Facebook and more easily reach an audience of their peers without the stern hand of the i–Comm moderator hovering over them. A recent post by my friend, Chris Kirkham, shows some flaws in the current progression of the site: 1. Chris says that posts without images will be rare. This restriction alone will limit the number of submissions to the site.

Basically, through that word alone, he basically summed up the first year of his life. Other than toilet matters, all he could do was sleep and eat — which basically creates more, you know, toilet stuff. The thing is, the first year of my boy's life was very boring for me. I throw a football at him, he fails to catch it, he gets hurt, he cries and I'm the one who gets in trouble. I sneak up on him while he thinks he's alone, I make a loud scary noise, he doesn't think it's funny, he cries and I'm the one who gets into trouble. Trust me, the list goes on and on. Oh and apparently you're supposed to feed them every once in awhile. My point is there's a lot they don't tell you about being a parent. And here's why: it's one big joke on you. See, your parents had to deal with you, and they're looking forward to the day they get to watch you deal with your kids. It's a joke that's been going on for ages. Well guess what. Jokes over. I plan to remedy this little problem. Here's how: A lot of parents keep scrap books of their kids. These book commemorate what little darlings their children are. Not so. Scrap books are false realities built to make you think you were a clean non-fussy baby. So, while my wife is keeping this book, I on the other-hand will be recording every crazy thing my boy does. What happens when he "piddles" on the ground? I put it in the scrapbook. What happens when he puts my cell phone in the toilet? It goes in the scrapbook. What happens when he tries to put his dinner down his diaper instead of in his mouth? You guessed it, it goes in the scrapbook. In this way, my son will have an accurate idea of the kind of terror he was as a toddler and how much work it took his mom (mostly mom) and dad to keep him from burning the house down. I suspect he will appreciate this from his "old man" when he's older. If not, I'll buy him a car — or sign him up for therapy. It's the least I could do as his father. After all, I love him.

Others -- perhaps pranksters or careless persons -- have submitted the names of unrelated famous or infamous people, or even wholly fictitious names. These rare acts are contrary to Church policy and sometimes cause pain and embarrassment. They are also extremely difficult to prevent because the temple baptism process depends on voluntary compliance by millions of Church members around the world. The Church nearly always learns about problems after the fact.” Farah continued stating that the Church was taking the matter seriously and did not currently have all the information surrounding the events.  Highly contrary to the claims raised by critics of the practice that the dead are somehow “forced into Mormonism,” the Church’s official website www.lds.org has defined what baptism for the dead entails. The practice of baptism for the dead is a fundamental teaching of the New Testament as found in 1 Corinthians 15:29.  Also citing other biblical references indicating the essentiality of baptism for salvation, the ancient and modern Saints have offered this rite by proxy to deceased ancestors who had not received the ordinance while living.  The Church maintains that deceased individuals as spirits can freely choose to accept or reject the baptism done on their behalf. ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper said the White House had no comment on the matter.  The Church has a history of baptizing a number of notable figures by proxy.  While serving as President of the St. George, Utah Temple, Wilford Woodruff received a number of visitations by deceased persons, indicating their desire to have their temple work done on their behalf.  These individuals include the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and all the Presidents of the United States up until that time excluding Van Buren, Buchanan and Grant.  President Woodruff maintained that “when their cause was just, someone would do their work for them.”  During President Heber J. Grant’s tenure of Church service, the ordinances were done for these three men also.      President’s Mother Baptized for the Dead By Tyler Andersen, Scroll News Staff The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has confirmed reports that President Barack Obama’s mother has been posthumously baptized.  Earlier this month liberal blogger John Aravosis made headlines after authoring a railing report against the Church, criticizing the practice as being “disturbing,” and “forcing souls from one faith to another without the knowledge or consent of their living families.”  Sparking interest among critics and believers alike, ABC News investigated and confirmed the reports using the Church’s genealogical database FamilySearch.org The database records indicate that Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who died in 1995, was posthumously baptized June 4 of last year in the Provo, Utah Temple, and subsequently received her endowment a week later.  The Church maintains a policy that discourages individuals from submitting names of non-relatives for temple work, but in the case of Ms. Dunham, the policy was ignored.  According to USA Today, Church spokeswoman Kim Farah spoke to the press offering this response. “Well-meaning Church members sometimes bypass this instruction and submit the names of non-relatives for temple baptism.

Currently hundreds of cars park on the perimeter of campus and surrounding streets free of charge, but that all might change. The Rexburg City Council proposed a new parking plan that will charge students for parking on the streets around campus. “We don’t have any problem right now with students parking on our street.” Said one community member. Another community member had a similar comment. “My belief is that we don’t perceive that there is a real problem, or at least I don’t, and I’m closer to the campus…” There were mixed comments and feedback to the new parking proposal presented by the Rexburg City counsel just a few days ago.  The counsel claims that the new plan will remove congestion on the streets close to campus. “To me that’s the problem, I drive second east everyday and you can’t get up and down that street. It’s designed to move traffic, not necessarily park cars on it.” Said Randall Schwendiman, a Rexburg City Council member. The proposed plan will dramatically change parking around campus.  The new plan eliminates parking on second east, charges for campus perimeter parking, and reserves some outer streets strictly to residents. Kyle Smith, a senior from Louisville, Kentucky said, “They are trying to serve the citizens and serve the University as well, and it is a hard thing to do.” A difficult task, but since when are whose who attend the university not considered citizens? “We have people who’ve called up the city and say ‘I can’t get out of my driveway today because somebody has over parked into their driveways.’” Said Chris Mann, President of the Rexburg City Council, and Food Services Operations Supervisor at BYU-Idaho. “So, the students are not our enemies, they are our friends.  But we also have to make it safe for everybody, including students.” “The University wants to go to a pedestrian campus and we are willing to help.” While no final conclusions have been made on the parking proposal, they do want to cement the plan and have it all ready for the fall, but it is still very much in the developing stages.  On the north end of campus, I’m Brian Johnson, I-News. The city council would like to finalize and make the changes within July. They want to have the new program start in September with the fall semester.        For more information about this story visit the web sites below:   Parking Survey of Vacant stalls in the University Lots done March 25, 2009: http://www.byui.edu/parkingservices/Parking%20Survey/Mar2509.pdf Want to comment to the Rexburg City Council, or view there next meeting agenda visit their website:http://www.rexburg.org/government/citycouncil/default.aspx [image] Parking that once was free around campus soon may not be.

It’s designed to move traffic, not necessarily park cars on it.” Said Randall Schwendiman, a Rexburg City Council member. The proposed plan will dramatically change parking around campus.  The new plan eliminates parking on second east, charges for campus perimeter parking, and reserves some outer streets strictly to residents. Kyle Smith, a senior from Louisville, Kentucky said, “They are trying to serve the citizens and serve the University as well, and it is a hard thing to do.” A difficult task, but since when are whose who attend the university not considered citizens? “We have people who’ve called up the city and say ‘I can’t get out of my driveway today because somebody has over parked into their driveways.’” Said Chris Mann, President of the Rexburg City Council, and Food Services Operations Supervisor at BYU-Idaho. “So, the students are not our enemies, they are our friends.  But we also have to make it safe for everybody, including students.” “The University wants to go to a pedestrian campus and we are willing to help.” While no final conclusions have been made on the parking proposal, they do want to cement the plan and have it all ready for the fall, but it is still very much in the developing stages.  On the north end of campus, I’m Brian Johnson, I-News. The city council would like to finalize and make the changes within July. They want to have the new program start in September with the fall semester.    byu-idaho, change, chris mann, city council, i-news, icomm, kyle smith, news, parking, randall schwendiman, rexburg news, scroll, university, videos nonadult false Paid Perimeter Parking?

BYU-Idaho students, employees and their families participated. Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters, a team made up of faculty from the Department of Home and Family and two employees’ sons, was the first team to complete the race. Tyler Anderson, faculty member Owen Anderson’s 16-year-old son, ran the last leg for the team. “I haven’t really ran since the Teton Dam Marathon, but I still did okay. The last leg was definitely more uphill than I thought it was going to be,” Anderson said. The actual starting point was at the church building directly south of the Idaho Falls Temple with the finish line at the church west of the Rexburg Temple. A total of 384 runners participated. The expedition was 32.7 miles. “I think this event was good for encouraging fitness. No one had to run a whole marathon, but were still able to feel like they had accomplished something. And they did. You don’t have to run a marathon to be in shape,” said senior Ashley Young, first aid trainer. Each team consisted of two, four or eight members. Many participants created names for their teams such as: “Sole Sisters,” “The Stinky Sock Gang,” “Fast Forward” or “We’ve Got Sole.” “Our team was too into a picture so we started five minutes later than planned; but I still made the exact time I was expecting,” said senior Rebecca Hill. “It was amazing. Being able to see such beautiful areas of Idaho Falls that you don’t usually get to see was really awesome. The whole event was well done and put together.” Although the event officially began at 8 a.m., the teams started on a staggered schedule. The latest a team took off was 9:15 a.m. Prior to the race, each team had to figure out the estimated time it would take for them to complete the race by using a pace calculator; this is what determined the beginning time for each team. “I ran the third leg, but the first two leaders got a good head start for our team so I was able to maintain it. Our team did very well. If they decide to do this event again next year, we’re probably going to challenge students in our department to run and try to beat us,” said Tom Rane, a member of the Family and Home department and of the Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters. The course was made up of eight exchange points. Every individual ran at least one leg; some ran multiple legs depending on the size of their team. Legs varied from 2.6 to 5.2 miles with the average leg being 4.1 miles. A lot of work went into planning this event. Doug Stutz, Head of Activities, has been planning this for a year. “I think this is a great activity to get involved in running. Hopefully people that have never even been big into running will be running. The idea is to get people into a pattern of healthy lifestyles,” Stutz said.

We have three flying mustangs out of 150 in the world that still fly today there's three of them right here in little town of Rexburg, and we take them up regularly. This is one right here the Mormon Mustang. We had four of them up three weeks ago. We had general Wright here who was flew the Mormon Mustang during world war II and you can look him up on the web and get some interesting history about Rolland Wright. We had three mustangs and a P-63 King Cobra up last three weeks ago had a blast flying them around. We did some high-speed passes on the runway here and we did some formation flights and had the general in the backseat of the Mormon Mustang. So it was a lot of fun and flying these war birds and like I said it's a piece of American history so come out and see it and we can tell you a lot about the early days of American history, especially World War II." The Legacy Flight museum is an operational hanger; all of their planes get to experience frequent flight.

That was the main problem is that IP addresses were not being released after they were being assigned to the computers,” said a computer help desk employee.   Eating and sleeping nowadays seem to be the only things that we at BYU-Idaho don’t do on I Learn. Previous reports say 30% of students were the only ones actually getting connected to the internet. But now, according to the computer help desk, more are succeeding at getting online and turning in their assignments. But unfortunately there are still some select students having troubles. If you experience these troubles, please go to the computer help desk where they can help you to connect.   Until then, I am Kayla Gilbert. From the David O.
