God's Word has a lot to say about our tongue. It is one of the most common subjects in the Bible. James mentions our speech several times in his letter and devotes all of Chapter 3 to it.
God's Word has a lot to say about our tongue. It is one of the most common subjects in the Bible. James mentions our speech several times in his letter and devotes all of Chapter 3 to it. He even said, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless" (James 1:26).
James is saying that those who carelessly allow inappropriate words to come out of their mouths are simply fooling themselves about being children of God.
But what words are inappropriate for a Christian? Certainly they would include vulgar or profane language, but that's not all. Ephesians 3:29 says, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
As we study the Word of God, we find all kinds of examples of "unwholesome talk." There are hateful words and hurtful words. There are judgmental words and prejudicial words. There is slander and gossip. There is sexually explicit language and innuendo. There is lying and deceptive speech. There is mocking and coarse joking, and the list goes on.
Some of the Bible's harshest rebukes are directed toward those who do not control their mouths, but Jesus cuts straight to the heart of the matter — the heart.
Jesus says, "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:33-37).
We can see here where James got his teaching. Jesus makes clear it is from the wicked heart of man that evil words flow. He makes it equally clear that no one but God can change the human heart and thereby stop the flow of evil from our lips. Jesus and James both are describing the only two types of people there are — saved and unsaved.
Brothers and sisters, it is time we take seriously this deadly matter of evil-speak. Jesus says it is a telltale sign of who we really are.
Unwholesome talk is something we always must be on guard against, but it is a trap especially easy to fall into during election times. We are consistently commanded and warned throughout Scripture not to speak evil against anyone, especially those God has placed in authority.
We try to excuse ourselves by saying, "Well, it's true!" Maybe, maybe not.
If we are honest with ourselves, much of what we say about government leaders is based purely on hearsay, opinion and slanted media rhetoric rather than on known facts. We all know we cannot believe everything we hear or read. Yet we will run to our friends with the latest rumor, news clip or forwarded junk email.
But whether our gossip and slander is true or not is almost irrelevant. As seen in the passages above, Jesus is most concerned with the heart of the one speaking. If our words are based on hate, prejudice, pride, selfishness, self-righteousness or other evil motives of the heart, the truth of our words will not vindicate us.
If we have solid facts that others need to know in order to make an informed decision, we must first examine our heart and motives. Then, if we can speak that truth in love with a pure heart we should. Otherwise, it is better left unsaid.
Since, as King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus is sovereign over who sits in all positions of authority, our greater concern should be how well we reflect the Lord's glory rather than who won an election.
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Psalms 19:14).

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) It's the week Clemson and South Carolina fans have waited for all year. And it's never been this big - or this testy.
The 12th-ranked Tigers (10-1) and 13th-ranked Gamecocks (9-2) play Saturday at Death Valley - if South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier remembers the location of the stadium.
Spurrier and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney have spent the past year trading jabs since the Gamecocks won their third straight in the rivalry, 34-13 last season.
A few days later, Swinney went on a rant that should live for the ages in the lore of the rivalry. He ripped South Carolina's pedigree, nickname and football history against Clemson, all over a comment attributed to Spurrier on social media the head ball coach never said.
``Tweet that,'' Swinney concluded last December.
Spurrier has questioned Swinney's smarts, poked fun at Death Valley's location - ``Is there another one?'' Spurrier quipped before LSU week - and said at an on-campus celebration last month for injured tailback Marcus Lattimore that ``usually when that coach up there talks about South Carolina, it's a bunch of garbage.''
And that was before praising Swinney's kind words over losing Lattimore.
``They don't like us very much and we don't care for them,'' said Lattimore's replacement in the Gamecocks' backfield, Kenny Miles.
All the coaching back-and-forth may have overshadowed the best combined seasons in the history of the rivalry. The Tigers won their seventh straight game and 13th in a row at home with a 62-48 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday. Clemson was awarded a trophy afterward as co-champs of the ACC Atlantic Division, although Florida State will play in the title game because of its win over the Tigers two months ago.
South Carolina extended its winning streak to three with a 24-7 victory over FCS opponent Wofford.
It's the first time since 1987 and just the second time overall the schools have both been in the top 15 when they've played, although both dropped a spot in the latest rankings. Plus, the stakes are sky high. A win by Clemson could bring an at-large BCS berth to the Sugar Bowl. South Carolina's seeking a second straight 10-win season for the first time.
``I don't know how you can add any more juice to this game,'' Swinney said.
Spurrier has a chance for some additional history: A fourth straight win over Clemson, something that's happened just once before (1951-54) in a series that began in 1896.
It's a streak the Tigers are tired of hearing about.
Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd says for all the team have accomplished with three divisional trophies and last year's Atlantic Coast Conference title, it's a little hollow without defeating the Gamecocks.
``I think it's a must-win situation for us,'' he said. ``It's one of those deals where it has to happen.''
You could tell South Carolina's run had worn on Swinney's nerves last fall when he was asked after a Tigers practice about a Twitter comment attributed to Spurrier - but actually said by radio play-by-play man Todd Ellis - that while South Carolina wasn't among the SEC's elite teams like Alabama or LSU, ``we ain't Clemson either.''
Swinney called the comment childish and without merit. He pointed out the Tigers' superior record overall and in the series. ``They're never going to be Clemson, to be honest with you. No three-game win streak is going to change that,'' the coach said.
Swinney wasn't finished, mocking nicknames and saying there's a different, higher standard to Clemson football than at South Carolina.
``He's exactly right. They ain't Alabama. They ain't LSU. And they're certainly not Clemson. That's why Carolina is in Chapel Hill and USC is in California,'' he continued. ``The university in this state, always has been, always will be - Clemson. It's right here in Clemson, South Carolina. Print that. Tweet that. Whatever.''
Spurrier wasn't angry. ``Smart people don't believe everything they read, and they don't believe hearsay,'' he said. ``I guess Dabo believed it.''
Spurrier's had a long history of tweaking rivals. His comments needling Tennessee (''You can't spell Citrus without UT'') and Florida State (''Free Shoes University'') while coach at Florida are part of college football legend.
Spurrier is 4-3 in the rivalry, tied for second-most Clemson wins by a South Carolina coach with Paul Dietzel. Spurrier trails Rex Enright's eight series wins in 15 years with the Gamecocks. Spurrier tied Enright's career program victories record at 64 last week and gets first crack at the school record at Death Valley.
Spurrier's most recent jab on the Tigers came at the Lattimore ceremony, where teammates, coaches, officials and fans came together two days after Lattimore's injury - and on his 21st birthday - to wish him well when Spurrier took a roundabout way to thank Swinney.
Clemson's coach took it as a compliment. ``It's like me telling my wife, `You don't look as fat in this dress,''' he said.
One thing players on both sides agree on: Little pregame chatter matters at kickoff. ``Regardless of what their coach says, what our coach says, it's going to be a heated game,'' Miles said.
Associated Press writer Jeffrey Collins contributed to this report.

Trust Deeds are essentially formal agreements between individuals and their creditors to repay what they can afford towards their debts. They are extremely powerful legal tools that can assist individuals in get back to a place of being financial stable. An STD was formed under the Insolvency Act 1896 and is intended for individuals who have a great deal of debt and are struggling to make their repayments on a monthly basis.
The repayment period for Trust Deeds is typically 36 months. You will be mandated to pay a set amount per month for the 36-month period, following that the creditors are obliged legally to write off any debts that remain. As soon as you have established a deed, all charges and interest become frozen and no legal action can be taken against you.
It will not cost anything to set up a deed, as they are designed as a means of getting you out of debt and not to amplify it. The arrangement is managed by a licensed Insolvency Practioner (the Trustee) who musy be licensed and regulated by the OFT (Office of Fair Trading). The amount that you and your Trustee are in agreement for you to repay every month, as well as any applicable equity is the only amount that you will ever be asked to repay. The creditors are essentially agreeing to be repaid less in order that the Trust Deed Scotland Company can receive their fees for making the arrangements. Prior to committing to one of these deeds, there are some exceptions to the general rule of which you should be aware.
In the event that the value of your home increases or you become the beneficiary of an unanticipated lump-sum of money which enables you to repay your debts in full, you will possibly be legally responsible to pay an extra amount to take care of the fees of the Trustee.
The majority of deeds typically take between 2 to 4 weeks to get drafted; after which, they are passed on to the creditors for approval and that can take as much as two weeks. Once it is setup, the law prohibits the creditors from making any contact with you and you will no longer be required to have any dealings with them. You will simply make the agreed upon payment to the company for the three-year period, as soon as this has expired all remaining debts will be written off and you will walk away free from the debt.
Individuals who arrange a Scottish Trust Deed have the capacity to negotiate with the company of their choosing. Only disposable income will be used to pay off the debt. That means individuals can go on paying for necessities such a food, electricity and rent. In addition, individuals can work out a plan which enables them to keep their automobiles and home. Any individual who can take advantage of this kind of financial plan should begin immediately.
It could take up to six to eight weeks to establish such a program. An important thing that individuals should bear in mind is that this deed can have an effect on their credit rating. However, the majority of clients who make use of the program have a negative credit rating already.
While there are a number of great advantages to the program, like anything else there are some drawbacks. The main shortcoming of the trust deed is the existing enforcement action, like bank arrestment and earning might continue to be in effect and homeowners will have to deal with home equity. Typically, this can be handled without selling, even though where too much equity is the debtor will possibly have to put the property up for sale. More often than not, equity will be dealt with through extra monthly payments or by re mortgaging. The Deed will not interfere with you being self employed. While in the Protected Trust Deed an individual cannot owe money in excess of £500. See more pros and cons at Trustdeeds.net.
A popular misconception is that you could go on to making use of credit while in a Trust Deed. However, whenever you are entering a Trust Deed, a default is placed on the credit file of the debtor which will be in place for six years. A number of individuals are incapable of signing a Trust Deed due to their contract of employment stating that they cannot take part in an insolvency solution.

Safeway (NYSE:SWY) posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings on Thursday but revealed a larger decline in sales on weak foreign-exchange rates and inflation.
The Pleasanton, Calif.-based company reported net income of $157 million, 66 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier $130.2 million, or 38 cents. Excluding one-time items, Safeway earned 45 cents, ahead of average analyst estimates of 42 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.

However, revenue for the three months ended Sept 8 was $10.05 billion, down narrowly from $10.06 billion a year ago, missing the Street's view of $10.24 billion.
Shares of Safeway fell more than 7% to $15.15 Thursday morning.
The food and drug retailer blamed the decline on the sale of the remaining Genuardi's stores, higher inflation and a lower Canadian exchange rate, partially offset by higher incremental sales driven by its loyalty program.
Same-store sales grew by a lower-than-expected 0.1% during the quarter.
Looking ahead, Safeway reaffirmed fiscal 2012 earnings in the range of $1.90 to $2.10 a share, bracketing the consensus' $1.98.

A Native American group is planning to file a federal lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians next month for their "offensive" Chief Wahoo logo, CBSSports.com reported Wednesday.
Robert Roche, a Chiricahua Apache and director of the American Indian Education Center, told CBS Cleveland he is planning to file the a federal lawsuit in late July against the Indians organization. Roche, who is also the leader of the group People Not Mascots, said the lawsuit will challenge that the team's name and Chief Wahoo logo are racist.
"We're going to be asking for $9 billion and we're basing it on a hundred years of disparity, racism, exploitation and profiteering," Roche told WEWS-TV. "It's been offensive since day one. We are not mascots. My children are not mascots. We are people."
Native Americans and supporters have protested for many years the use of the Indians team name and the Chief Wahoo logo, which shows an Indian with bright red skin, an exaggerated smile and a feather in his hair.
Chief Wahoo has been the symbol of the Indians since the 1940s. The Indians have been gradually phasing out the Chief Wahoo logo over the last few years, replacing it at times with the red block letter "C" logo.
Local supporters of the Indians team claim it is a small minority of people who are against the team name and logo.
"If just a small amount of people are against it, than I think you're doing a disservice to people that like it," Bob Rosen, president of the Wahoo Club, told WEWS-TV.
"I'm not insensitive to the issue, but our 1,650 members of the Wahoo Club, anytime we have a Wahoo Club item they but it up they love it," Rosen said. "Can you imagine the baseball team in this city not being called the Cleveland Indians' I can't picture that."
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office stripped the NFL's Washington Redskins of their trademark last week and called the team name a "racial slur." The Redskins are appealing the landmark ruling.

It could be said that White has made his position worse, as castling Kingside is now less attractive.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Even the face of the NFL Network occasionally gets stopped at the line of scrimmage.
Sportscaster Rich Eisen is trying to get across the field at the University of Phoenix Stadium, where he's supposed to host his network's coverage of the Arizona Cardinals vs. the Seattle Seahawks.
On the field are current and former NFL stars, including Hall of Famer Warren Moon, who treat Eisen like royalty. But the security guard who stands between Eisen and the stage at the other end of the stadium apparently doesn't recognize the man NFL Network President Steve Bornstein simply calls "the franchise." The guard wants to see his field pass.
"For the wrong TV personality, this could put them in the fetal position," cracks Eisen, while looking futilely for his badge before realizing he left it back on the set and has to be escorted there by the guard to prove he does indeed belong.
This is as close as the 44-year-old Eisen comes to a miscue these days in a career that has been as smooth and crisp as a Peyton Manning pass. Not only is he the frontman for the Culver City-based network that has turned into a cash cow for the NFL, his just-right combination of quick wit, everyman appearance and encyclopedic knowledge of the game has won him the respect of coaches and players, and made him a fan favorite.
"I'm like the fly on the wall," Eisen says while sitting on the Seahawks bench after offering a history lesson on all the great moments that happened on the field, including David Tyree's legendary catch that set up the New York Giants' stunning upset of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII in 2008. "It's my job to take the fans sitting at home on their couch and put them in my shoes."
If this all seems to come naturally to Eisen, it's probably because he's been preparing to wear those shoes his whole life. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island (his New York accent comes out "in fits of road rage on the 405," he says), Eisen loved sports but knew the microphone was his ticket into the stadium.
"I realized early on in my life that I couldn't hit the curve or throw the 50-yard post pattern, so talking about it would be my way in," he says.
Indeed, videos of Eisen on YouTube throwing a football and attempting a free throw confirm this. His annual 40-yard dash in a suit during the NFL combine where college players are scouted has become must-laugh TV.
After graduating from the University of Michigan, where he was sports editor for the Michigan Daily, he landed his first journalism job at his hometown paper, the Staten Island Advance. But Eisen soon realized the police beat (typical turf for a rookie reporter) wasn't going to provide a quick path to the press box.
"I once went from one precinct to another listening to the police codes and an ambulance blew by," he recalls. "I followed it and I remember thinking to myself there's no other way to parse what I'm doing except ambulance chasing."
Eisen decided to go back to school to get a master's degree and after a brief stint at a local station in Redding, landed at ESPN at the age of 26. That's where his real education began at the hands of "SportsCenter" legends Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick.
Having done some work as a stand-up comic in the 1980s — his go-to bit was an impersonation of Howard Cosell reading letters to Penthouse Forum — Eisen initially treated ESPN like a night in the Catskills.
"I made everything a joke," Eisen says. "I over-performed."
His shtick caught the eyes of Olbermann and Patrick, but for the wrong reasons.
"We were worried he might get in over his head before he realized he was underwater," Olbermann says.
Olbermann remembers that when Eisen would ask for an assessment of his work, he'd reply, "Half."
Meaning do half as many bits. Then, after Eisen complied and asked for another evaluation, Olbermann would respond, "Now cut it by half again."
"He told me to do one highlight straight, then do an entire segment straight, then do an entire show straight and then try seven of those in a row and I'd be closer," Eisen says.
"I think he struggled a little bit with finding out who he was," Patrick says. "We were calling him 'Olbermann lite.' Both of us had an intervention with him and told him, 'Be yourself.'"
Eventually the lessons from Olbermann and Patrick's tutelage sunk in. Eisen let his natural wit and breezy style do the heavy lifting.
"People are tuning in for one reason and one reason only: to find out what's happened. That's what took me a very long time at 'SportsCenter' to figure out," Eisen says. "If you can tell them in an entertaining way, they will choose you over other options, but if you're trying too hard to be entertaining first before telling them what's happened they'll tune you out."
At the NFL Network, where he is on air close to 10 hours a week, Eisen often plays the role of ringmaster with analysts Deion Sanders, Michael Irvin and Steve Mariucci, all of whom have loud personas and could easily overwhelm a less-savvy host. He's not afraid to jump in the fray, yet knows when it's best to sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
He's also a pop-culture aficionado and loves dropping lines from "Raising Arizona," "Midnight Run" and other favorite movies into his broadcasts. Earlier this season, he dressed up as Walter White's alter ego Heisenberg (dubbed "Eisenberg") in a salute to the final episode of "Breaking Bad." He even chose to attend the University of Michigan in large part because he liked how the school was portrayed in the movie "The Big Chill."
Eisen commands the set in a style Patrick says is akin to a late-night host. That's a comparison Eisen likes since having his own desk, couch and maybe even a live band is on his bucket list.
"That's a dream," Eisen says. Over the last few years, he's gotten a little taste of that life with his podcast, which has attracted A-list guests including Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin and Larry David. Eisen started the podcast a few years ago and even though it's a one-man show where he must book his own guests, it allows him to scratch the performer itch that remains from his stand-up days.
"Coming up with a construct where celebrities can pitch their music, television, movies and books with the umbrella of the NFL being the launching-off point for conversation I thought was a no-brainer," he says. After all, Eisen adds, football is at the forefront of American pop culture.
And, as he tells Hollywood publicists for celebrities who might not be experts in the sport, "I'm not going to ask your client to break down Cleveland's 4-3 defense."
Off camera, Eisen and wife Suzy Shuster, a former ESPN producer and Fox on-air personality have three children, a home in Beverly Hills and a sitcom in development for TBS with writer Ron Shelton ("Bull Durham," "White Men Can't Jump") based on Shuster's days as a sideline reporter. He's also working on getting his time in the 40-yard dash under six seconds so he can retire that bit and "stroll off into the sunset on top of my game."

Methodist University Hospital is the first hospital in West Tennessee to offer therapeutic cooling therapy for cardiac arrest patients who meet particular criteria.
Dr. Ice cooling therapy for heart attack patients involves dropping a patient's body temperature about eight degrees Fahrenheit below normal. The purpose of cooling patients down is to help prevent or reduce the amount of brain damage from the loss of oxygen. It can mean the difference between losing a patient or leaving them in a vegetative state versus being able to send them home to resume their lives.
Cooling therapy works by chilling patients for 24 hours under careful observation in the intensive care unit and then rewarming them for another 12 to 24 hours. There are several methods to cool patients including saline drips and cold catheters. Methodist University Hospital uses cooling blankets to lower a patient's body temperature.
We are use an external cooling system so we can begin treating patients as soon as possible while we assess the intravascular cooling devices.
Our plans are to implement cooling therapy in the other three adult hospitals in the Memphis area, Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital, Methodist North Hospital, and Methodist South Hospital. All four hospitals are currently certified chest pain centers which brings high-level cardiac care to patients in all corners of our community which is vitally important when treating heart attacks.

Cristiano Ronaldo: United was my favourite time
Following an impressive hat-trick in Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Sevilla, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed the most enjoyable period of his career so far was spent at Manchester United.
Ronaldo and his Madrid team-mates will take on United in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie next week. The forward, meanwhile, netted his 20th treble since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 on Saturday evening, taking his season tally to 24 goals.
In an interview published in The Sun newspaper shortly after the completion of the thrashing, Ronaldo reflected on his time at Old Trafford with fondness.
"Yes Manchester was a very good cycle for me," Ronaldo told The Sun. "I won everything there. It was a fantastic part of my life there.
"And maybe it was the time I enjoyed my football the most because I was so young. To be at Manchester United - one of the biggest clubs in the world - at just 18. It was a dream.
"And to play alongside those players you had only seen before on television - maybe that's why I feel I enjoyed it there the most.
"I'm not saying I don't enjoy it here in Madrid - I do. But I'm older now, more mature. I'm not a dreamer any more like I was when I was young.
"I'm 28 now so I'm not at the beginning any more. I'm middle-aged!"
Ronaldo has scored more than a goal per game since joining Real on an £80-million transfer, and the Portugal international believes he has improved his all-round contribution following his La Liga switch.
"The statistics have changed because I am more mature and I have learned some things.
"With that maturity you actually do more things for the team rather than for yourself. But I still try to score as many goals as I can although I also try to give a lot of assists.
"You also have to realise that the football here is different, the team is different. Many things here are different," he explained.
Not for the first time, Ronaldo also expressed his admiration of United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who brought him to the Premier League from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.
"I arrived at United aged just 18 years old and he taught me how to grow up properly in the football world. Who better? He has so much experience - 1,000 players have passed through his hands.
"So he knows and appreciates what young players need. And what he taught me was the importance of decision making. How important it is to make the right decisions on the pitch and off it.
"That's why I say he was like a father to me. He taught me everything, he helped me so much, guided me on so many important things.
"That was in football and in life because his influence and interest doesn't stop at the touchlines. He cares about you as an individual. He is a very human person who understands what you want and what you need.
"I remember one day in my first season and we came to Christmas and, of course, there is no winter break in England.
"I asked him: 'Coach can you give me three or four days to go home to Portugal?' And straight away he said: 'OK no problem.'
"He knew I was very important to the team but he also knew at that time I needed my family so much and that was a very important moment for me. I realised he understood and he cared.
"Sometimes when you asked him for something you didn't get an answer instantly. He would say: 'Let me think about it.' And then next day he would give you his answer - yes or no. Even if it was a 'no' there was a reason and an explanation.
"He knows how to treat people well, how to make you happy, how to motivate you. He has that in abundance and it works because it's real - it comes from inside him. So I owe him a lot. That's why I keep in touch and that's why it will be great to see him."

If you happen to be "down under" this month and need a quick bite to eat, then it might behoove you to learn a little Australian slang before heading out for a snack. Reuters reports that McDonald's recently announced a temporary change in signage at some of its Australian locations. The new signs will read "Macca's," instead of McDonald's, in honor of Australia Day on January 26.
This local nickname for the international fast food chain is reportedly used by at least 50 percent of Australians and is considered to be the second most common Australianism after "footy," which refers to the sport of Australian rules football.
In a further effort to show pride in its acquired Australian identity, McDonald's has also called upon Macquarie Dictionary to add "Macca's" to its online lexicon.
Thirteen stores will be changing their signage this week, though regular signs are expected to be back up by Feb 4.

With the tough economic times we are in, many people can not afford home ownership near Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, Davao City. House share has become a popular solution that people resort to in order to address their housing problems. If you want place to live in it, but cannot afford the expenses that come with it, you can opt to take a room for rent.
There are plenty of advantages to occupying rooms for rent in Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, Davao City. You save a lot of money paying only part of the expenses you would normally pay for when you have a house of your own. This is because you only have to pay your share of the rent, water, electricity and heat bills. But there are disadvantages to house share too. Conflicts can arise when you live in house that is not yours, especially if you rent a room in a house where the other residents are from a different background than yours.
There are a few things to know when you are planning to get a room for rent. Keep in mind that people will be welcoming you, a stranger, to their home so there are some things to expect from their part. Here are some pointers targeted to people who are planning on renting a room in Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, Davao City.
Expect A Screening
Following Ground Rules
Rules are important in every home in Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, Davao City, shared or not. Your landlord will probably give you a set of rules to follow. These rules are usually regarding visitors, pets, smoking or whatever concern the home owner has. Most of these rules are pretty reasonable so do your best to respect and follow them.
Know Your Responsibilities
Just because you are just renting doesn't mean you don't have to pull your own weight in maintaining the household. You can help out in cleaning common areas like the kitchen or the living room. If your landlord does not require you to help, the least you can do is to clean up after yourself.
Be Nice
These are just a few pointers that are good to know if you are planning to occupy a room for rent in Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, Davao City. House sharing can be advantageous, especially if you are in good terms with your landlord and housemates. Follow these simple tips to ensure a happy house share.
Additionally, some people just realize not enjoy vivacious alone. Renting an entire apartment to oneself can, indeed, be a lonesome experience. For those who desire an easy opportunity to socialize, then, renting a room is a great option. It is little shock that hence many houses upon campuses nearly the country are full of juvenile students renting rooms – its partly for convenience, and unquestionably partly for the unplanned to be accompanied by others their own age. Renting a room provides the unintended to be accompanied by ones peers.

DELAND, Fla. (AP) Toarlyn Fitzpatrick scored 20 points and Jawanza Poland 19 as South Florida defeated Stetson 63-54 in a nonconference game Monday night.
Kore White's tip-in of a missed 3-pointer by Poland broke a 49-49 tie with 3:17 remaining, starting an 8-0 run for the Bulls (4-2), who played their first road game this season.
The Hatters (2-2) had run off seven straight points, five by Aaron Graham, to erase a 47-40 Bulls lead.
Poland grabbed 10 rebounds and Fitzpatrick nine for the Bulls, who outrebounded Stetson 41-31.
Joel Naburgs led Stetson with 18 points and Graham added 15.
Each team was missing a key player. South Florida's Anthony Collins, who had 22 assists in his past two games, rested a calf injury but should play Friday against Georgia. Stetson's leading scorer, Adam Pegg, sat out a one-game Atlantic Sun Conference suspension for a level 2 flagrant foul in his last game.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an agency of the United Nations.
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), CAFTA (Central American) and GATT are all UN treaties.
Exports from other countries have made us dependent on their products as American jobs have been shipped overseas. The arrangement has been particularly devastating for 3rd world countries.
Vandana Shiva of India, the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, explains how the World Trade Organization has wreaked havoc on India's food supply through reduced import duty tariffs that make farmers more dependent on the government. This created crisis, in turn, has led to an increase in Genetically Modified food because of government support. The WTO has imposed export bans, except where it benefits large corporations.
Vandana Shiva reports that over 200,000 farmers have committed suicide due to the pollution of their farmlands from GMOs.
(Editor's note: we disagree with her position on global warming. We believe her use of the word "democracy" in this context refers to the government serving the will of the people).
Rufus H. Yerxa has served as Deputy Director General since 2002.
Mr. Yerxa has an extensive record as a international trade negotiator, diplomat and lawyer. He served as a Presidential appointee in the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) during both Democratic and Republican administrations, first as the Geneva-based Ambassador to the GATT (the predecessor organization to the WTO) and subsequently as the Deputy USTR in Washington, the Administration's highest ranking sub-cabinet post for trade negotiations. In these two positions, he played a major role in negotiating and securing Congressional approval of both the Uruguay Round/WTO agreement and the NAFTA accord. He guided the drafting and enactment of several major pieces of trade legislation.
His private sector experience includes both law practice and a senior corporate role. He was a resident partner in the Brussels office of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, where his practice focused on international trade matters and European regulatory affairs. He subsequently joined Monsanto Company, a leading producer of agricultural input products, where he was in charge of the law, government affairs and public affairs departments for Europe and Africa. He later served as Monsanto's international counsel in Washington.

When a patient dies unexpectedly in a hospital setting, communication among next of kin, medical examiners, hospital staff members and other clinicians often is challenging. The information needs of these diverse interests vary, with the medical examiner seeking to determine the cause and manner of death in the interest of advancing criminal or civil justice and for public health purposes; the hospital and its medical professionals wanting to better understand the death of the patient for quality assurance purposes and to advance the science of medicine; and the patient's next of kin desiring answers as to how and why their loved one died.
Now, the AMA has developed new guidelines aimed at improving communication during these situations.
Developed in consultation with the AMA Postmortem Communication Workgroup, "AMA Guidelines for Communication Between Hospitals, Medical Examiners, and Next of Kin Following Unexplained or Unexpected Deaths in the Hospital,(www.ama-assn.org)" was released earlier this fall. Julie Wood, M.D., the AAFP's vice president for health of the public and interprofessional activities, served as the only nonpathologist in the workgroup.
Story highlights
- When a patient dies unexpectedly in a hospital setting, communication among next of kin, medical examiners and hospital staff often poses challenges.
- An AMA workgroup that included a family physician has developed new guidelines aimed at improving communication during these situations.
- Specifically, the guidelines call for hospitals to create a single point of contact to coordinate communication among hospital staff, medical examiners and next of kin.
"I am pleased the AMA recognized the value of having a family physician participate in the workgroup and on the development of the guidelines," Wood said. "The guidelines will be helpful for family physicians to optimally provide comprehensive care and communication in the event of an unexplained or unexpected death.
"Although we don't deal with this every day, when it comes up, we often don't get information back regarding an outcome," Wood explained. Among the guidelines' recommendations is that autopsy results be shared with the physicians of the deceased patient, which Wood said would allow family physicians to better communicate with the patient's family and attend to their needs, both medically and psychosocially.
Specifically, the guidelines call for hospitals to create a single point of contact to coordinate communication among hospital staff, medical examiners and next of kin. Medical examiners should follow suit by creating their own single points of contact.
According to the guidelines, it's important for medical examiners to notify the hospital if they'll accept or decline a case referred to them for review within a reasonable amount of time. When a medical examiner does assume jurisdiction over the case, the following information should be shared by the various stakeholders.
- Medical examiners should communicate information about the investigation process to the patient's next of kin, including an estimated timeline. The AMA guidelines further support related recommendations from the Scientific Working Group for Medicolegal Death Investigation(www.swgmdi.org), a collaboration of diverse forensic experts jointly sponsored by the National Institute of Justice and the FBI.
- Hospital staff, including attending physicians, should participate expeditiously in the investigation process by fulfilling related requests and making themselves available for consultation.
- Whenever possible, preliminary autopsy findings should be shared with next of kin and the referring hospital, and final autopsy results should be shared with those who have requested it. Medical examiners should participate in a post-autopsy conference with the next of kin and others chosen by the next of kin, such as physicians who cared for the deceased.
The guidelines also recommend that hospitals seek permission to conduct their own autopsies either subsequent to a medical examiner autopsy or when the medical examiner declines jurisdiction of the case. These autopsies can identify hereditary illness, help guide hospital quality assurance strategies, and contribute to medical education and research. When hospital autopsies are authorized by next of kin, they should be held to the same communication standards recommended for medical examiners.
The Postmortem Communication Workgroup readily admits the guidelines are idealistic, but contends that they can function as a starting point for improving communication. Variations in state laws and hospital system practices and understaffed medical examiner offices can make adherence to the guidelines a challenge, Wood said. However, "It's important for family physicians to be aware that this model guideline exists, and that they can be a part of implementing it."

On Nov. 9, the U.S. Department of Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commissions' recommendations took effect after Congress allowed them to pass into law. While some communities prepare for the possible economic gains from construction of additional schools, houses, roads, and commercial and industrial development that may ensue from the oncoming population boom caused by the transfer of workers in military bases scheduled for realignment under the plan, the communities losing bases — 22 within the next six years — aren't as optimistic.
According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, "Military Base Closure: Socioeconomic Impacts," the closing of a military base may have a similar effect on a community as the closing of an industrial facility such as a steel mill or oil refinery. But with a concerted effort on the part of the community, closings can be made into opportunities. Bases closed under earlier BRAC recommendations have been successfully refurbished into manufacturing facilities, airports, and research laboratories.
According to the CRS report, once a base has been scheduled for closing, time is of the essence. The sooner economic redevelopment can begin after base closure, the better for the local community. However, projects of this magnitude, which may also involve military and government red tape, may take time. For example, Bayport Alameda, an 87-acre residential project, is located on the site of a former naval base in Alameda, Calif., an island adjacent to Oakland and just across the bay from San Francisco. The 2,000-acre Alameda Naval Air Station was decommissioned in 1997. It wasn't until 2000 that the city sold the land to carry out the development. "It just takes years and years," says David Day, project manager for the San Ramon, Calif.-based Warmington Group of Northern California, contractor for the residential development. "With this project, it was owned by the Navy, then the city took title to the land in phases. Finally, we, as an LLC corporation, take down the land from the city. We start the infrastructure early with a right-of-entry agreement, and then as we complete it, we purchase land from the city."
According to Day, most bases are located within urban infield areas. "It's not like going out in the outskirts of urban areas where you're digging in cow pastures," he says. "We do find old pipes in the ground, and we have to deal with that. It's urban brownfield."
However, once all the buildings were removed and the environmental cleanup finished, Bayport was just like any other project. Warmington bid out the electrical work to subcontractors that put the conduit in the ground and worked with Alameda's own power company, Alameda Power & Telecom, to pull the cable.
Day says that if electrical contractors really want to be a part of the base redevelopment projects, they should pay attention to their city government's notices. He advises reading the daily business journal to find requests for competitive bids from the city. Day also recommends following city resolutions to find out which developers or group of developers are forging development agreements and getting approved by the city council. "If you really want to do that kind of work, whatever city the base is in, watch the city council meetings to see which builders are doing agreements with the developers. And then market yourself to them."

I find it interesting, perplexing, ridiculous, and absurd that the FDA seized a shipment of birth tubs from a Portland, OR dock, claiming that they've been ordered to "inspect and destroy" them. According to Barbara Harper, the founder of Waterbirth International, "They claim they are unregistered medical equipment, but they are not providing a way or means to get them registered. In other words, if the medical authorities can't stop waterbirth, then just have the FDA take away the birth pools." [emphasis mine]
What's more, the FDA believes this to be their jurisdiction because childbirth is . . . an . . . ILLNESS. Yes, that's right . . . I'm ill; ill with child. VERY ill with child actually. So ILL with child, that I might just any day now crawl into my bathtub for relief, medical relief of course, from my nearly 10 month ILLNESS. Harper was told: "Pregnancy is an illness and birth is a medical event. Therefore, a pool that a woman gives birth in should be classified as medical equipment." Now, I will say that the FDA isn't the only institution that believes pregnancy and birth to be an illness, but that's another story for another day.
So, when I say that the FDA may want to come into your home and inspect your bathtub, hot tub, pool, pond, toilet, sink, whatever . . . hopefully you can see that I'm not really that far off the mark for these are all things water containers that women may use to facilitate childbirth.
More info can be found on this blog as well as Barbara Harper's Facebook notes. Please spread the news and watch for news of a petition that Harper may be starting on Change.org.

And it appears that the Bajan singer is prepping herself for the role — after she gave out naughty advice to punters in a West End club.
Hours after her gig at London's O2 Arena on Sunday she headed to Whisky Mist in Mayfair to celebrate brother Rorrey's 22nd birthday.
After grabbing the mic and leading a celebratory singsong, she then took the opportunity to deliver her version of the birds and the bees.
She said: "I left home at 16 and had to learn to look after myself."
"Always use a condom."
The machine in the gents' must have made a killing.
Maybe her words of wisdom were aimed at Rorrey, his mates and the group of girls crowding around them. At the end of the night, following 15 bottles of champagne and six bottles of vodka, Rihanna rounded up the party and took them all back to the her suite at The Savoy hotel.
And you can bet they didn't go there to watch CNN on the telly.
A source said: "Rihanna is the best big sister.
"She sorted for all these girls to accompany her brother back to her hotel, along with his friends too.
"They had a great time and she treated them like kings."
Meanwhile, the singer's security were left needing new trousers after they suffered a scare during the afternoon soundcheck of her O2 gig.
While circling the arena they spotted two dodgy-looking geezers with guns.
But before the police were called it was pointed out that the two characters were actually hardman actor Ray Winstone and rapper Plan B filming the new big-screen version of TV classic The Sweeney.
The constant screams of "Shut it!" must have given their identity away.

AHL Game Day 10/14: Admirals at Falcons
The Ads almost pulled off the upset.

Second Period
SPR Nilsson, (1) (Bisaillon, Thoresen), 4:15
NOR Egener, (1) (Jones, Wanvig), 4:42

SPR Nilsson, (2) (Thoresen, Rourke), 6:37
SPR Peckham, (1) (Bodie), 9:22 (PP)

Norfolk held a 2-1 lead heading into the third period before surrendering 3 straight goals to Springfield in the first 9:22 of the final frame.
Blair Jones earned second star honors in the game with 1 goal and 2 assists in the contest. Mike Egener, who seriously is taking well to his conversion to forward, had 1 goal and 1 assist and Kyle Wanvig, the third member of that line, had 2 assists.
The Admirals finish their season opening road trip at 1-3. They head home for two games against Binghamton next weekend (which I shall attend).

The thought that Barack Obama might free the Blind Sheikh (Abdel Rahman) — the convicted guru of the first World Trade Center bombing — is unbelievable, at least to me. Andrew McCarthy nevertheless found the thought, coming from deep within the Obama administration, highly credible. Now comes Michael Mukasey, the former federal judge who presided at the trial of the Blind Sheikh and friends. (Mukasey left the bench to serve as the last Bush administration Attorney General, an incredibly decent and honorable man.) In a Wall Street Journal column this morning, Mukasey writes:
A congressional staffer I spoke with last week recently called the Egyptian Embassy in Washington and asked to speak with the official in charge of the request to release Abdel Rahman. This call elicited not a denial but rather the disclosure that the matter was within the portfolio of the deputy chief of mission, for whom the caller was invited to leave a message.
Then there are the statements of U.S. officials on the subject, which all have sounded excruciatingly lawyered. Asked before Congress in July whether there is an intention "at any time to release the Blind Sheikh," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano responded: "Well, let me just say this. I know of no such intention."
The State Department's spokesperson last week, after the ceremonial "let me be clear," said that there had been no approach on this topic "recently" from any "senior" official of the Egyptian government—an elucidation laden with ambiguity and certain to send chills up the spine of anyone familiar with Abdel Rahman's record and President Morsi's inclinations.
All of this plays out in the context of an Obama administration that hasn't hesitated to employ executive orders to get around Congress, led by a president who was caught on a "hot mike" assuring Russia's leaders that if he wins re-election he will have more "flexibility" to accommodate Russian demands that the U.S. curtail missile defense in Europe.
It appears that the only course open now is for Congress to demand an unequivocal statement from the State Department and the White House that the U.S. will not transfer or release Abdel Rahman under any circumstances. Absent such assurance, it may be time for Congress to make clear that such a transfer or release could be considered the kind of gross betrayal of public trust that would justify removal from high office.
Just in case you needed one more thing to worry about…

Oilers 3, Bruins 6 – Game 15 – 2011-11-10 @ 5:00 PM MST – SNET EDM
Taylor vs. Tyler is the story tonight. Do we care how well Tyler does? Well, other than to keep our goals against down, I say no. Tyler Seguin is a very good player, but I'm happy with what we got. Seguin's success or lack of success doesn't dictate how the draft went, imho.. it's about how well Taylor Hall is doing here, and I think he's easily one of the best players we've had here in ages. 'Nuff said on that.
The former cup champions are off to quite a slow start this year, being 6-7-0 and the 4th worst team in the NHL standings right now. The Oilers, meanwhile, sit near the top with a shocking 9-3-2 start and the third highest point total in the NHL, thanks a lot to great goaltending and some much better team defense. I'll give play by Gilbert and Smid a huge nod there too, especially. Continue reading 'Oilers 3, Bruins 6 – Game 15 – 2011-11-10 @ 5:00 PM MST – SNET EDM'»

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat peppers with olive oil and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Salt liberally. Bake in the oven, turning every 10 minutes until peppers are blistered and black, about 20 to 30 minutes total.
Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a hot saute pan. Add the serrano chiles and the garlic. Lower the heat to moderate, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chiles are softened, lightly browned, and blistered on all sides. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chiles cool in the oil for several minutes
When the roasted bell peppers are blistered and blackened, removed them from the oven, place in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This will steam the skins off and make them easier to remove. After 15 to 20 minutes, remove the peppers and peel. Remove the seeds, stems and ribs. Do not run under water – this will just wash the flavor off! You should have about 4 cups.
Note: You can roast the peppers under the broiler or over a gas flame, if you prefer, but I like to do them in a hot oven. It takes a little longer, but you don't have to monitor them as closely.
Chop the garlic finely, then use the side of your knife to mash them to a paste – a pinch of grey salt will help this process. Mashing insures that the garlic add just an undercurrent of flavor, with no big pieces to bite into. Add to the blender.
When cool enough to handle, peel the chiles and remove the stems and seeds (or leave some or all of the seeds if you prefer a spicy sauce). Then add the tomato puree and the oregano (no need to chop the oregano because it's going to be blended in). Add to the blender the olive oil used to roast the chilis and garlic. Turn the blender on high until everything is smooth and thick.
Turn a medium saute pan on high for 30 seconds with about 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stand back as you pour the blender mixture into the pan. Be careful, it can splatter. This second heating brings the flavors together. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and the red wine vinegar. The vinegar gives it a little sharpness and protects it in the refrigerator for about a week.
Ladle it into canning jars and store in the refrigerator for a week. It can be frozen for 5 months.
Preheat a grill to high. Season the steak with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Grill the steak to medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
To a large pot of boiling, salted water, add the spaghettini and cook to al dente. Drain and toss with the salsa rossa.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and place on top of the pasta.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has
given us a keyhole view towards the heart of our
Milky Way Galaxy, where a dazzling array of stars
reside. Most of the view of our galaxy is obscured
by dust. Hubble peered into the Sagittarius Star
Cloud, a narrow, dust-free region, providing this
spectacular glimpse of a treasure chest full of
stars. Some of these gems are among the oldest inhabitants
of our galaxy. By studying the older stars that
pack our Milky Way's hub, scientists can learn more
about the evolution of our galaxy.
Many of the brighter stars in this
image show vivid colors. A star's color reveals
its temperature, one of its most "vital statistics."
Knowing a star's temperature and the power of the
star's radiation allow scientists to make conclusions
about its age and mass. Most blue stars are young
and hot, up to ten times hotter than our Sun. They
consume their fuel much faster and live shorter
lives than our Sun. Red stars come in two flavors:
small stars and "red giants". Smaller red stars
generally have a temperature about half that of
our Sun, consuming their fuel slowly and thus, live
the longest. "Red giant" stars are at the end of
their lives because they have exhausted their fuel.
Although many "red giant" stars may have been ordinary
stars like our Sun, as they die they swell up in
size, become much cooler, and are much more luminous
then they were during the majority of their stellar

Marienplatz has been the heart of Munich since the Middle Ages. Barrel-makers used to dance between the city hall and the market. Over the years, the market has moved slightly and the barrel-makers have been reduced to miniature figures that dance in the carillon of the new city hall, but the Marienplatz is still the city's main square.
Marienplatz has 2 city halls: the Old City Hall and the New City Hall. Thanks to the work of architect Hauberrisser, Munich residents have a hard time telling which building is which. Set behind the buskers and the fountain, the Neo-Gothic building on the square looks older. However, it was 'only' built just over a 100 years ago — relatively recent compared to the Old City Hall which has been around for more than 800 years.
Munich's main square was called 'Schrannen', until a cholera epidemic castigated the city. By changing the name to Marienplatz (Maria square) in 1854, residents hoped to invoke the protection of the Virgin Mary. The square also played an important role during the plague epidemic of 1517: according to legend, barrel-makers danced around the square to entice residents to come out onto the streets. They still dance today: every 7 years on the actual square, and several times a day in miniature at the carillon of the New City Hall.
Many visitors take the lift to the top of the tower in the New City Hall to enjoy the fabulous city views. However, you won't be able to admire the building's own Neo-Gothic gable and carillon. To view those, you need to visit the Saint Peter's Church which is situated on the other side of the square. Unfortunately this church does not offer a lift and visitors must climb 306 steps to reach the highest lookout in the city centre. On clear days you can even distinguish the peaks of the Alps on the horizon.
Marienplatz is framed by 2 large department stores: Galeria Kaufhof and Backs Kaufhof. Music fans should pay a visit to the 5th floor of Backs, because it is entirely dedicated to music. Here you will find an incredible collection of CDs and you can listen to a great selection of less mainstream music for free. Occasionally, the department store also hosts live performances. There are musical performances every night at the Night Club inside the classy and elegant Hotel Bayerischer Hof, just outside of Marienplatz.

4 stars (out of 4)
So-called "super groups" – prominent musicians from disparate bands who come together to jam -- are often super in theory only, a collection of egos united in the name of commerce. But "Wild Flag" (Merge) is something else entirely. The quartet's self-titled debut is a combustive mix of indie-rock veterans: two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney (guitarist Carrie Brownstein, drummer Janet Weiss), the guiding force in Helium and countless other projects (Mary Timony) and a key member of the Minders (keyboardist Rebecca Cole). Together they've made one of the year's best albums.
Whereas Sleater-Kinney was celebrated for its intensity and seriousness, constantly questioning the world around them, Wild Flag channels a different kind of passion. The album is about letting go, getting lost in the moment. Dancing, lusting and abandoning control. Feeling supersedes intellect. Or as Wild Flag sings in "Romance": "Shake, shimmy, shake!"
That impulse is conveyed most forcefully in the music. The sturdily constructed songs brim with backing harmonies that evoke the girl groups of the '60s ("Something Came Over Me") or the new-wave kicks of the Cars ("Endless Talk"). Yet the melodies never feel particularly stable or static, as the band gleefully pulls them apart and whips them around the dancefloor. The guitars of Brownstein and Timony tangle, break apart and sometimes – as in extended tracks such as "Glass Tambourine" and "Racehorse" – zoom off for regions unknown. Cole's assertive keyboards provide ballast, while Weiss' drums – titanic and yet focused – often play fills and rolls so decisive they function like hooks or guitar riffs. Whether kicking down the door to open "Romance" and "Electric Band" or delivering thundering kick-drum accents on "Black Tiles," Weiss shapes the songs even as she threatens to stomp them into oblivion. That sense of teetering on the ledge of chaos, of mayhem fighting melody for control, makes "Wild Flag" a debut for the ages.

Carlton County awarded $1.8 million for flood relief
Pat Oman, Economic Development director for Carlton County, announced that word has come from the Minnesota Investment Fund personnel of a $1.8 million grant for flood relief in Carlton County. Carlton County was the only one to apply. $110,000 is dedicated to administer the award.
"We are pleased to make this announcement," said Director Oman, "and have earmarked as many as 27 businesses that will be helped with this funding. The list is not finalized, but this grant will go a long way and make a strong local business recovery possible."
"Our area businesses are struggling after so much flood damage," commented new 5th District Commissioner Gary Peterson. "I am confident that this financial boost to the affected local businesses will make a difference."
The announcement came at the first or annual meeting of the Carlton County Board of Commissioners in which the board roles are "reorganized" with new leaders and committee assignments made. Commissioner Bob Olean, representing the 4th District which locally includes the Barnum and Mahtowa areas, was elected chairman for this year with Dick Brenner vice-chair.
Commissioner Peterson actively positioned himself into several of the committees, among these were the Area Transportation Partnership, the Airport Commission, Big Sandy Watershed District, Carlton County Extension Committee, Carlton County Law Library, and Lakes and Pines Community Action Council. Chairman Olean, during a discussion of who sat on the Carlton County Economic Development Authority, cautioned Peterson saying, "Wait a year, get your feet wet, and then consider taking on other duties."
The use of electronic medium slowly changes how the county does its transfer of information. Committee meetings will now be transmitted to all commissioners electronically. Yet the board would only change so far. Meeting agendas and material will still be hard copy and mailed.
The Moose Lake Star Gazette will be the official newspaper for the county. Minutes, the Tax Delinquent Summary, and all necessary legals will be published there.
A surprise to some attending the meeting, Drew Digby, spearheading Carlton County's flood relief, requested $2,000 to cover "educational materials" for the Minnesota Legislature, normally called lobbying, asking for additional help for area flood losses. County Coordinator Genereau addressed the proposal as needed and it was approved unanimously.

Two new shows examine the body in 20th century art. James Pallister reports
Hilary Mantel's recent essay in the London Review of Books put bodies in the news spotlight. The essay is worth a read, and is distinguished more for its thoughtful examination of our relationship with royalty, their bodies, and the reproductive obligations of those within hereditary monarchies – than any apparent Middleton-bashing.
The work of Sylvia Sleigh, a New York artist associated with the city's 1960s and 1970s feminist art scene, initially made waves for the inversion of the stereotypical nude artist-subject relationship. Sleigh's nudes were attractive young men, their features recorded in high realism, unflinching depictions of tan lines and pubic hair, with the quilts and blankets they sprawl on picked out with the kind of detail sometimes seen in Egon Schiele's work. Sleigh's work is now on show at Tate Liverpool.
The exhibition Tracing the Century will travel shortly to the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA). This show, previously at Tate Liverpool, explores how bodies and drawing have been part of – and the subject of – developments in Modern Art: William Orpen; de Kooning; Henry Moore, Cézanne, Paul Klee, Richard Hamilton and Paul Nash all feature. The Teesside town described as England's first new town, was – at the height of its late Victorian boom period – given its own bodily association in 1862 by soon-to-be prime minister William Gladstone, who called it a 'baby Hercules'. The town has shrunk in stature since, but its collection of art works, gifted to the town in boom times, has not waned. This collection is explored in the show How We Became Modern, which runs until 10 March.
Visit Sylvia Sleigh at Tate Liverpool until 3 May. Tracing the Century: Drawing as a Catalyst for Change opens MIMA on 22 March and runs until 7 July

A solution to Diana Nyad's controversy?
4 comments:
- Linda Dyer said...
Hi Pat...Haters gonna Hate is so true in this instance. I am not sure how anyone would get across without having a jelly suit on. Should we not give marathon Runners water during their race?
I was so happy to see that Diana had finally made it. Good for her and all your accomplishments as well. Love reading about how a cousin by the way of marriage is doing in the sporting world. (Your Aunt Marriette is Married to my Uncle Roger on the Caron Side.) Keep up the great work...You are an inspiration to a lot of people.

Maybe it'll be named as the 3rd "Assisted" swim, coming after Susie Maroney and some guy that wore fins.

Ron, I believe a swim of this magnitude should not have the words "assisted or unassisted" attached to the success of the swimmer. The guy who wore fins was propelled through the water with the use of his fins. His swim should not be recognized. Diana was not propelled through the 110 mile swim with the use of a jellyfish suit or being touched by someone helping to her apply it.

Outlaws attack Lawrence, Kansas
A ruthless band of guerillas attacks the town of Lawrence, Kansas, killing every man and boy in sight. The town was an abolitionist, pro-Union stronghold, andthe guerillas, led by William Quantrill and William "Bloody Bill" Anderson,were said to have carried out the brutal attack on behalf of the Confederacy. Included in their group was Jesse James' brother Frank and Cole Younger, who would later also play a large role in the James gang.
Bloody Bill Anderson got his name for his love of shooting unarmed and defenseless people. Reportedly, he carried multiple handguns, in addition to a saber and a hatchet. His horse was also outfitted with several rifles and backup pistols. Although he claimed to have political motives for his terrorism, Anderson more likely used the Civil War as an opportunity to kill without repercussion.
Jesse James, only 17 at the time, teamed up with Bloody Bill after he split from Quantrill's band of killers. On September 27, 1864, their small splinter group terrorized and destroyed most of the town of Centralia, Missouri, and killed 22 Union solders.Later that day,theyambushed and killed 150 more Union men. A month later, Anderson paid for his crimes: He was caught by a full contingent of Union army troops in Missouri and killed in the ensuing battle. Jesse James was never brought to justice by the North for his war crimes and went on to become the 19th century's most infamous criminal.

If you remember, the script essentially works by tricking Blogger into thinking you are viewing the blog without JavaScript by adding
v=0 to the query string of each link within the blog. Well it turns out that there was one case where this wasn't working properly; the link that jumps you to the comments within the post specific page. The problem was that these links point not only to a page but a specific anchor by adding
#comments to the URL. Unfortunately my script was adding the query string after the anchor reference (i.e.
post-page.html#comments?v=0) when it should add it to the page location (i.e.
post-page.html?v=0#comments). I've updated the script to v1.1 which contains a fix for this. In theory if you have already installed the script your browser should eventually pick up the new version. But if you haven't yet installed the script or just want to make sure you have the latest version then you can install/upgrade by simply clicking this link.

French ISP Blocking Web Ads By Default
January 4th, 2013 01:04 View Comments
New submitter GavrocheLeGnou writes "The french ISP 'Free.fr' is now blocking ads from Adsense and other providers by default for all its subscribers. The option can be turned off globally, but there's no whitelist (Google translation of French original). From the article: 'Because the service doesn't offer a whitelist (contrary to Adblock, a service I've used for years), this means that it is an all or nothing choice, activated by default to block everything. And since it is not only internet, but TV and phone lines running through the FreeBox, it's possible that, if left unchecked, Free could beginning blocking TV ads, or phone calls from known spam hotlines. While this seems like a potentially beneficial service, there's no doubt that it's biting at the heels of several sectors who rely on advertisement to make money, let alone the advertisers themselves who pay to reach an audience, and are blocked at the door.'"

When Scott Pelley took over the CBS EVENING NEWS from Katie Couric in June, 2011, he had his work cut out for him: despite the fact that it did well here in the Lowcountry, the show had been a distant third place for years nationally with lots of effort put into turning that around, but with far too little success.
The latest ratings measurements tell a story of continued success.
The CBS EVENING NEWS is the only network evening news broadcast to se year-to-year ratings increases in what is known as the "key demo," in this case, Adults 25-54. That age group is referred to as the "key demo" in the network news audience because that's the one advertisers are most interested in attracting. Continue reading

Up until this morning, I was running Gnome and decided to switch to XFCE. I had some programs set to startup in Gnome using gnome-session-properties, and they start up fine in XFCE, but I now have no way of editing that list. When I try to run gnome-session-properties, I'm told "session manager does not support GNOME extensions".
Any advice? I'd really like to avoid going back to Gnome if possible.
Beter remove the them entirely (login to gnome and remove them or drop the configuration files, I hve no idea where they're stored) and use the xfce4-autostart-editor.
Would unticking the Gnome option in Sessions & startup stop the Gnome config files from being read?
Just a thought...
Simon. (^_^)
TIP: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Thousands of London Underground workers have been offered a payment of £850 each for working during the Olympic Games, it was learned today.
The Rail Maritime and Transport union had declared a dispute with LU after lack of progress over an Olympic payment, but there have been talks this week at the conciliation service Acas.
The union said it had received an offer of £850 for all Tube staff, adding it would affect up to 18,000 workers.
General secretary Bob Crow said: "Clearly moving from offering nothing to the latest offer of £850 is a massive shift on the part of London Underground.
"The offer will now be considered by our reps and by the full executive before we make a formal response."
The union had rejected previous offers, saying there were too many strings attached to proposed deals.
The RMT has struck several deals with rail companies for extra pay during the London Games this summer, including a bonus of £500 for staff at Virgin Trains and Network Rail, £600 for London Overground workers and an agreement with Docklands Light Railway which union officials said could be worth up to £2,500.
The union is balloting hundreds of administrative staff it represents at Transport for London (TfL) for industrial action over "severely restricted" annual leave during the Games.
Officials claimed that leave had been banned altogether for the duration of the Games in one department, saying this would make life "impossible" for many staff, especially those with school-age children.
The RMT also announced it will ballot workers at Tube Lines for industrial action in a row over pensions and travel passes.
The union said it wanted employees at Tube Lines, now a subsidiary of TfL, to be able to join the company's pension scheme and receive the same travel concessions as other staff.
Howard Collins, LU's chief operating officer, said: "We have had productive discussions with the unions this week and put forward our proposals about how we can fairly reward staff.
"We have put forward an offer which would see station, maintenance, service control staff and operational managers receive up to £850 for working flexibly during the 2012 London Games, subject to attendance, customer satisfaction scores and agreement from operational staff to work flexibly in order to deliver a successful Games.
"In return we are asking staff to work longer hours at different times of the day, to be prepared to work extra hours and to be more flexible in how and where they carry our their role for us during these crucial weeks. We know our employees want to play their part in delivering a great games for London, so reaching agreement on this will allow all of us to focus on that exciting challenge together."
Lee Jones, operations director for Tube Lines, said: "We have been discussing this issue with our trade unions for some time, and we will continue to try to find a way forward through constructive discussion. We would urge the RMT to withdraw its threat of a strike ballot, which will not achieve anything."
