Bible Verse Of The Day - Romans 8:12-14 - Monday, 2/28/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Date: 2/28/2011
Post: 1,749

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. – Romans 8:12-14

There is a battle that we face every day – the fight against our sinful nature. But notice how Paul gives us a battle plan for victory against the forces that pull against us: fulfill your obligation to focus on the work of the Spirit of God in your life. This is more than just the summoning of will power to do better. If you focus more on where the Spirit of God wants to lead you than the misdeeds of the body, you will find the internal struggles much easier to deal with.

Quote Of The Day - "Conflict Of Interest" by Brendan Scott - Friday, 2/25/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Date: 2/25/2011
Post: 1,744

The following quotation is attributed to a blogger named Brendan Scott*:

"The test for a conflict of interest is:

whether you could be (not whether you are) influenced by your private interest in carrying out your official duties, or
whether people are likely to believe that you could be influenced.

If the public suspect the worst, your reputation and that of the council [or organization with which you are affiliated] will be damaged, however sure you may be of your ground. So, even if you are certain your motives and actions are beyond reproach, you should avoid involvement in anything that could be construed as being influenced by personal interests."

And so now I ask our readers to carefully consider the following:

Does a "conflict of interest" exist when a member of the Hermann City Council is also a part-owner in a local online "news" website which reports on the deliberations and actions of that same municipal council?

I say that a "conflict of interest" does exist in that situation, and therefore I call upon Brian Chorley to either resign his position as Ward 2 Alderman on the Hermann City Council or resign his position with and dissolve his ownership interest in CountyNewsLIVE.com, a local online "news" publication.

Editorial Comment - Hermann Hearsay Endorses Joe Gleeson and John Penning

Post: 1,743

The Editorial Board of Hermann Hearsay announced on 2/12 that we are endorsing the candidacies of Joe Gleeson for Hermann Ward 2 Alderman and John Penning for Ward 1 Alderman. We have known these two gentlemen for a long time, and we believe that they are the best candidates to represent their respective wards and help lead our small community forward into the future.

Information received today from a credible source close to the Hermann City Administration has confirmed that we are completely justified in endorsing these two candidates. Our source prefers to remain anonymous, and we shall honor his (her) request.

Don't forget to get out and vote your conscience. The election is now just 6 weeks away!

Bible Verse Of The Day - Proverbs 9:10 = Friday, 2/25/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Date: 2/25/2011
Post: 1,741

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. – Proverbs 9:10

What if wisdom were not a body of facts but a relationship? As children of the Enlightenment, we tend to want enough data in order to make a logical decision, but according to Scripture, wisdom has a foundation in the fear of the Lord. This kind of fear is different than what we often think of. This fear is a reverence and awe for God that fills us so much that it dictates every decision that we make. When we base our understanding of the world around us upon God’s nature and character in Scripture, we enter into true wisdom.

Riddle Of The Day - "Bags and Beads" - Wednesday, 2/23/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Post: 1,739

I hadn't posted a riddle in many days when a loyal reader called to say that she missed the riddles. She enjoys the challenge of solving puzzles and riddles. So, as long as I have just one reader who enjoys the daily riddles, I will continue to publish them.

This riddle is dedicated to our good friend, Sharon. And it's a really tough one! The solution to it is very ingenious! Sharon, if you solve it, let me know!

"Bags and Beads"

You are given 5 bags. There are 10 beads in each of the bags. In four of the bags, the beads each weigh 10 grams. In the remaining bag, each bead weighs only 9 grams. All the bags and beads look identical. You must find out which bag has the lighter beads. The problem is that all the bags look identical and all the beads look identical. You can use a scale, but it has to be a single-tray scale, not a two-tray balance scale. Also, you may use the scale only once. How can you find out which bag has the lighter beads?

Bible Verse Of The Day - Galatians 1:13-16 - Wednesday, 2/23/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Date: 2/23/2011
Post: 1,734

For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, – Galatians 1:13-16

As Paul is recounting his past as a Christian bounty hunter he turns everything on its head by verse 15. He talks of the God who set him apart from his birth! How can this be? Paul is looking at his history now from a new lens: the power of the cross. The shame of his past now becomes the qualifier for his future. The gospel gives us a new perspective on our yesterdays, which creates the roadmap for our tomorrows.

Editorial Comment - Things That Bother Me About Some Internet Websites

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, Editor

Date: 2/22/2011
Post: 1,733

I've learned a lot about the internet, computers and hosting a website since I've worked here at Hermann Hearsay. Some of the things I've learned bother me.

For instance, did you know that some websites place very intrusive "tracking cookies" on your personal computer when you visit their site. This bothers me? Why are they attaching their intrusive "tracking cookies"? What do they want to know about you and me and our web-surfing patterns? What other personal information are they trying to surreptitiously extract from our computers? What do they do with our information? Are they using our personal information for some sinister illegal purpose? Are they selling our personal information to third parties? Who are these third parties? Why are they willing to pay for our personal information? Is this how unscrupulous website operators really make their money as opposed to selling paid advertisements and/or paid subscriptions for their website? Do they fully disclose what they are doing with it? It makes me wonder, and well, it bothers me.

Have you noticed that some websites require you to "register" with them in order to gain FREE or PAID access to their site? Why do they want your name, address, email address, telephone number and other personal information? How many websites have you "registered" on in order to gain FREE or PAID access? Do you trust the website and its operators? Have you read their "Terms and Conditions"? What are the risks and rewards associated with revealing personal information to websites on the internet?

Did you know that some website operators pay $500 per year for an invasive and intrusive software program called 'Spiral 16'? I understand that this particular software has the ability to "mine" all sorts of information about a website. For example, when this software is attached to a website, the owner of the software can obtain lots of information about the website's visitors and readers. Information like IP addresses, ISPs, internet surfing patterns, and other things.

There are basically three ways a website operator can make money:

charge a subscription fee for accessing all portions of their website,
charge advertisers to place "banner ads" on their site much the same way as newspapers charge for their display and classified ads, and
gather and sell your personal information to third parties.

I want you to think about the websites you are visiting. Can you trust them? Have they fully and clearly disclosed their "Terms and Conditions"? Do you understand them?

The "Terms and Conditions" here at Hermann Hearsay are very simple. We CURRENTLY DO NOT:

charge a subscription fee for accessing all portions of OUR website,
charge advertisers to place "banner ads" on their site much the same way as newspapers charge for their display and classified ads, and
gather and sell your personal information to third parties.

Because I have experienced some problems with websites in this regard, I plan to share further information with our readers in future postings. I will give you specifics, and I will name names.
