Just recieved a letter from Convergent Outsourcing, Inc located at Houston, TX 77043 regarding the debt with the compaby I had never had any account with.Convergent does not even my full name right.
They say I owe over $2,000 and they are willing to settle at 50%. I have just recieved a credit approval for mortgage, so it is a scam! I think people like me should try to see them in court and get compensation for punitive damages!
They also called my cel - I never talked to them as I thought it was a wrong number!Should I report them to DA?9d55295

What if you paid the bill they say you owe, like 10-13 years ago. I no longer have the paper work to show that I did. I thought it was taken care of years ago.

I've received both letters and phone calls from these people. They say that Time Warner Cable has asked them to collect on a bill that I didn't pay. I spoke with TWC and they said that they didn't ask them to collect anything from me and that my account with them has never had any problems at all. In fact TWC claimed that they don't use these people at all for anything! So I called convergent and they said that TWC is lying and that by the fact that I'm calling them is an admission of guilt? I feel that this is just an example of how corrupt our country has become!0 0 Reply

I just received a phone call from a lady who asked if she could have the number that I was contacted on. I asked who she was. She said Ms. Rawlings. I asked what company she was with. She said Convergent Outsourcing. I asked what they wanted. She asked again if she could have the number I was contacted on. I said no.
The same day I received a letter in the mail from Convergent Outsourcing saying I owe $166.60 on an account that they would settle for 70%. I do not even have an account with that company.
I just had a refi too. I think this is where they get their info. I will check my credit reports to make sure they are not messing with my credit!

I received 2 letters recently, 1 of which was a paypal account that I am supposedly behind on. Funny thing is that I have a paypal account but do not use the pay later or their credit card so there is no way possible that it can be behind. Definite a scam so do not call, and especially do not give them any money at all0 0 Reply

I, too, was contacted by these people by telephone. I have perfect credit, but also just had a re-fi done, so this is apparently where they get their list, and our personal information.
They tried to get me to verify my name and SS#, which I wouldn't do. They never even got to their scam with me because I was furious that they called my home about 22 times over a 2-week period. Since I work from home, I got tired of it and finally picked up the phone. These people are so creepy, they know your name when you call. What I've done is called them non-stop for 2 days now telling whoever will listen that they are working for a company that is scamming people and they should Google Convergent and look at what they are doing to people. One woman said to me, "I don't know how to respond to this." I told her to read the BBB complaints and think about what they are doing to people. When I call THEM (which really rattles them), they always say things like "is this ____ ____," trying to get my name. I wish everyone would hound them back, it's unconscionable what a scam this is.

I've been receiving calls at my place of employment with them using my maiden name, demanding that I verify my physical home address. I've asked the agent for his name, spell it out for me, why are you calling me. They won't talk to me since I won't give my address. Hey!! You called ME, right? Don't you have that information. Let's just tattoo "Dummy" on my forehead. I've tried to give them my attorney's phone number & they refuse to take it. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??? Enough is enough. I wish all the rest of us smart folks well. Good Luck my fiends. Eve

Arizona State Sun Devils
ESPN ranks Jahii Carson as No. 3 freshman in Division 1
Life is pretty good for Herb Sendek and the ASU men's basketball program right now.
How good?
Well, with a 77-62 victory at Texas Tech (first win on the road) Saturday, the Sun Devils have already matched their win total (10) from the 2011-12 season.
ASU has already reached the 10-win mark thanks to improved offensive tempo, leadership from Carrick Felix and Jordan Bachynski and impressive contributions from underclassmen Jonathan Gilling, Evan Jacobsen and Jahii Carson.
While Gilling was the story Saturday (hitting six of the team's 14 three-pointers), Carson has been an effective presence throughout the 2012-13 season.
Carson, who had 18 points in the victory over the Red Raiders, leads the team in scoring (17.9 points per game) and has had double-digit scoring efforts in 11 of 12 games.
The former Mesa High School star has been especially effective in the month of December, hitting 47 percent of his shots and dishing out five assists per game. In that same span ASU is 5-1.
For his tremendous 12-game stretch, ESPN currently ranks Carson as the No. 3 freshman in the country.
Three of the top 20 recruits in the nation enrolled at Arizona this year, but there's little question that the most impressive freshman in the state plays in Tempe. Carson (17.9 ppg) trails only Bennett is scoring, while also ranking in the top five in assists (5.3). It has been 16 years since a freshman averaged 17 and 5 (Seton Hall's Shaheen Holloway in 1996-97). On a team picked to finish 11th in the Pac-12, it's no surprise that the Sun Devils are leaning heavily on Carson. If he turns ASU into a conference contender, he might lock up this award. But keep in mind that the last USBWA Freshman of the Year to miss the NCAA tournament was Eddie Griffin in 2000-01.
Ironically, the last ASU freshman to make the conference's All-Freshman first team was James Harden back in 2007-08. That season he led the Sun Devils in scoring with 17.9 points per game (Carson's current average). Harden also made the All-Pac-12 first team that season.

WASHINGTON — Scott Harrison knows his charity has funded nearly 7,000 clean water projects in some of the poorest areas of the world in the past six years. But how many of those wells are still flowing with drinking water months or years later is a tough question to answer.
His organization, called Charity: Water, has funded projects in 20 countries. It says it is committed to spending 100 percent of each donation in the field to help reach some of the 800 million people who don't have clean water and resort to drinking from swamps, unhealthy ponds, or polluted rivers.

However, what really matters about this weeks showdown is the action that will unfold on the field at Gillette Stadium, and part of that action is the match-up between the Jets secondary and the Patriots receiving corps.
On the one end is Gang Greens secondary and overall pass defense, which currently ranks 11th by allowing an average of 208.3 yards per game. Also, out of the 13 interceptions accumulated by the Jets, the secondary has accounted for 11 of those picks, with Kerry Rhodes leading the team with five.
On the other end is the juggernaut that is the Patriots offense and their prolific wide-outs. New Englands receivers, consisting of the likes of Randy Moss and Wes Welker, have been a major factor in their teams pursuit of perfection. Offensively they are ranked first in points, yards, and passing averages, and they account for 42 of the Patriots 45 receiving touchdowns thrown by Tom Brady (19 of which are caught by Moss, of course). Throw in the Pats ability to make something big out of a simple play, and it looks like a steep mountain for New York to climb.
Theyve got good catching-run ability, whether its Welker, [RB Kevin] Faulk, [TE Ben] Watson, Moss, [WR Donte] Stallworth, right on down the line, said Jets head coach Eric Mangini. They all can catch that short one and turn it into a lot more.
The aforementioned arent the only ones that the Jets should show concern over. Should LB Mike Vrabel get involved with the offense in certain situations, it becomes a red flag and the Jets should not let it throw them off.
He catches the ball well, mainly in goal line and short yardage, said CB Darrelle Revis. Hes got good hands and makes plays as well.
Overall, the Jets secondary is the best thing going for this defensive unit. However, the wide receivers of the New England Patriots are a large and highly important fraction of the well-tuned machine that is their offense.
Theyre a great corps. Their record says it all, said DB David Barrett.
The Jets secondary will need to be on point the whole game in order to keep up with and stop the opposing passing game if they want to pull off the biggest upset of the 2007 NFL season.
Sutton press conference
After todays practice, Bob Sutton held his informal biweekly press conference in front of the members of the media. Among the topics the defensive coordinator discussed was the preparation for New England and their dangerous wide receivers.
Its a great challenge for the individual DBs to come in and play these guys, but I think collectively, its even a bigger challenge. We have to really be functioning as a unit out there to make this thing work, he said.
Another topic of interest was Patriots RB Laurence Maroney. While the Patriots are explosive overall on offense, they are so at the expense of Maroney and the run game. The second-year veteran from the University of Minnesota has 529 rushing yards and only two touchdowns this season. Nevertheless, there is respect for Maroney as far as Coach Sutton is concerned.
We have a lot of respect for Maroney, we always thought he was a guy that was a slashy running back, he said.
Revis-Moss II
Sundays game will feature a potential match-up between the Jets heralded rookie Darrelle Revis and the man he admired growing up, the Patriots Randy Moss. Week One saw the two facing each other at times, so this could be a sequel of sorts. Even so, its all a matter of when it will come.
Theres a lot of different packages on both sides of the ball, a lot of different spots that both guys have played, Mangini said. So well have to see how that works out and where they end up, what spots they end up in.
As far as Revis is concerned, that kind of familiarity with an opponent such as Moss is a good thing.
Its good to play somebody again for the second time around because you know what kind of moves they can make.
Coles wins award
Coach Mangini announced in his press conference that Laveranues Coles was this years winner of the Ed Block Courage Award. The award is given to a player that shows outstanding courage. With the way he has fought through injury this season in order to contribute to the Jets, there was no one else that was more deserving for the award.
To be able to play on Sunday and make the types of plays that hes made, fighting through some difficult things, is just a good example of his approach and professionalism, said the coach.
Practice Notes
The team held their practice session today outside on the lower field amongst what was left of the snowstorm that hit the area yesterday. This was done in order to get accustomed to the harsh cold weather, especially that chance of a mix of snow and rain, set to come down in Foxboro. Other than that, practice was status quo.
INJURY REPORT (as of Thursday)
New York Jets
Questionable: TE Chris Baker (back), WR Laveranues Coles (ankle), WR Jerricho Cotchery (finger), TE/LS James Dearth (foot), WR Justin McCareins (thigh) DL Dewayne Robertson (knee)
Probable: QB Kellen Clemens (thigh), TE Joe Kowalewski (shoulder), WR Brad Smith (back)
New England Patriots
Out: DL Mike Wright (foot-placed on IR), G Billy Yates (foot)
Questionable: G Stephen Neal (shoulder), S James Sanders (knee), LB Mike Vrabel (thigh), TE Ben Watson (ankle)
Probable: QB Tom Brady (shoulder)
Did Not Participate in Practice: LB Adalius Thomas (team decision)

© 2013 Standing Stone Coffee Company
1229 Mifflin Street Huntingdon, PA 16652
Environmentally Concious
Standing Stone Coffe Company will be environmentally concious with help from solar panels, organic ingredience, and recycled paper products. It's not just about enjoying life and the world now, but it's also about enjoying it 50, 100, or 300 years from now. That means what we do and how we live has to matter. Standing Stone Coffee Company works hard to take this seriously.
What we have done, or are currently doing:
- In our demolition phase, all metals, windows, and doors were recycled or re-used; old joists were sold to a company to make furniture out of them; insulation and other materials were donated to Habitat for Humanity, old tongue and groove flooring and walls were given to those who could use it for firewood to heat their homes in winter and as much quality materials as possible was re-used in our rebuilding process.
- We pulled old bricks from torn down houses out of the borough dump to use as sitting walls in the courtyard.
- We created a "thermal envelope" sealing off the exterior and using insulation all the way around to ensure the highest level of efficiency to heat and cool the café, taking the building to a 52R-value rating, way beyond Energy Star compliance.
- For all appliances possible, including the heating/cooling system we ensured it was Energy Star compliant. This included refrigerators, freezers, washers/ dryers, dishwashers, computers, hot water heater, etc.
- We are sending all of our compost to a local farm, which then serves as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for our community
- Our hot water heater is a low-Nox power vent/direct vent system that reduces emissions from the high efficient natural gas heater. It also has a condenser which catches lost hot air and uses it for water heating, which takes the efficiency to 96%.
- Our lighting system takes advantage of as many low-energy florescent, Xenon and incandescent bulbs as possible while not impacting the ambience of the cafe.
- We catch as much water runoff as possible from the upper roof and use it for irrigation of the planters in the courtyard.
- We buy as much local fresh produce as possible, which saves in energy costs in transporting the food to us. We also use as much non-frozen food as possible to ensure freshness and limit the energy use in storing and keeping the food
- We use bio-degradable to-go cups, and our own in-store mugs to reduce and manage waste.
- Our paper products are made from recycled materials.
Future Plans:
- We plan to coat the upper roof of the cafe with white sealer that will reflect 89% of thermal heat, and 82% of the solar/UV spectrum, reducing energy bills by up to 40%
- We plan to place a "live roof" and roof garden above the roasting and laundry rooms which will compensate for water displacement and run-off from the building and provide added insulation which will help both heating and cooling costs
- We hope to install a photo-voltaic (solar power) system on the roof above the cafe to compensate for our energy use.

Upgraded with Digital Fuel Injection, Electric Power Steering and Bold New Styling
When a four-wheel-drive vehicle is a must for hauling gear around farms, fields or to remote locations, the new Kawasaki Mule™ 4010 4x4 is the off-road utility vehicle of choice, thanks to its full-size chassis and a powerful engine now equipped with digital fuel injection (DFI). Besides the new DFI system, the Mule 4010 4x4 also features a new electric power steering (EPS) system, selectable four-wheel drive, a fully-automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
The new 2009 Mule 4010 4x4 is powered by a liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin. Managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU), its new DFI system compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. This helps make engine starting smoother and more consistent, gives better throttle response and its improved fuel metering helps reduce fuel consumption. The system incorporates an automatic fast idle speed control which activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual choke. The system also regulates maximum engine speed, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor.
The powerful 617cc V-twin engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range plus reverse. Power is transmitted through a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive system, to a dual-mode rear differential that can be locked to maximize traction, or unlocked to improve handling and minimize ground disturbance when making tight turns. Mule 4010 drivers can also engage four-wheel drive for extra traction in difficult conditions.
The low effort rack-and-pinion steering on the Mule 4010 4x4 is made even easier with a new electric power steering (EPS) system. EPS reduces turning effort by up to 30 percent, especially at low speeds in four-wheel drive, using input from vehicle speed and torque sensors to determine how much assistance is needed from the system's electric motor. With the forward/reverse, high/low-range gear lever and the four-wheel drive selector within easy reach on the dash, drivers can focus more attention on negotiating rough or fragile terrain. The coolant temperature warning light is easy to see, and a push-button control activates the headlights. Other standard features include an hour meter, a horn and an air restrictor gauge to indicate when the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The fuse box and oil dipstick are equally convenient, located underneath the seat for quick access.
The rugged styling of the new bodywork on the Mule 4010 4x4 is much like the modern pickup trucks often working in conjunction with this versatile utility vehicle. The panels continue to be the durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide scuffing. Its front hood can be lifted with the pull of a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a now deeper storage space, which has convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two lever latches make opening and closing the tailgate easy. The roomy cab on the Mule is surrounded by the large-diameter steel tube frame structure that meets federal Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements.
Convenience features on the new Mule 4010 4x4 aren't just limited to easy-access latches or controls; they also extend to owner-friendly features like the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille, which greatly-simplify the winch mounting process.
The Mule 4010 4x4 chassis includes a ladder-type frame riding on a DeDion type rear leaf-spring suspension, which is designed to carry heavy loads yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty. MacPherson struts handle front suspension duties and provide a good balance of comfort and load capacity. Effective stopping power is provided by four hydraulically operated, self-adjusting, sealed drum brakes that are designed to resist contamination from water, mud and other debris. Large 23-inch low-pressure tires provide a comfortable ride, great traction and help minimize impact over a variety of terrain.
The Mule 4010 4x4 utility vehicle can carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed and is capable of towing up to 1,200 pounds with an optional draw bar. Other popular accessories include an enclosed cab, cab heater, snow plow, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

Thought this would be fun.. a game of ultimatums. Can be objects, situations, etc, but you have to chose one, and give someone else one.
To make it interesting, would you rather be blind or deaf?
Views: 4399
Mmm.. starry night. Sounds nice. :)
Heels or flats?
Flats. I can't walk in heels for the life of me.
Cry more over: death of a fictional character in book or movie?
Hmm.. this really depends. I've cried over more fictional characters, but cried more over the few people whose death made me emotional. So I'm in limbo here.
Fall 13000 or fall 5 feet into a snake pit? (by the way, 13k feet is the average height by which a skydiver jumps, and given that you wouldn't have a parachute, it would take approximately 40 seconds to land..)
If I have to dive into a snake pit why not go in style? Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do, so even if I die, I'll go with a lovely view in my head (will try to forget the snakes biting me and writhing against me or wait..if I don't have a parachute my head will just burst open like a water melon, so yeah, good view and death...)
Be a pokemon master or a pokemon?
Pokemon master.
Water bender or fire bender?
I don't know, but fire bender sounds cooler. :)
Would you rather come across a big bear or a big shark?
Bear. Cause if I'm somewhere big bears live... I know I'll have someone who could help with me rather then in the water where I will get ate. I can only swim so fast for so long.
Would you rather freeze or burn?
That's a difficult one. Freeze, i suppose. Because with my immunity system I'm sure that I'll die of the cold even before freezing, so...
Hip-hop dance or contemporary?
@ EBH & Navdha, I say freeze too. At least you would maybe go numb.
Definitely contemporary, of the 3.
Alternative or punk?
Alternative, maybe a little punk too??
R&B or country?
A Bug's Life or Toy Story?
Be a healer or a warrior?

5 Toddler Feeding Issues Solved
Toddlers are notoriously picky eaters. If you're concerned that your toddler isn't eating a balanced diet, here's some advice from the experts!
My toddler drinks milk all day long.
"Toddlers only need 18 to 24 ounces of milk at most," says Ann Meyers, a clinical nutritionist at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. If you're concerned that your toddler isn't getting enough milk, push yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products to make up for the calcium.
My toddler won't eat vegetables.
If your toddler refuses to eat veggies, fruits can be a good substitute. The key is to offer one or the other at every meal. For example, if your toddler wouldn't eat peas at lunch, then offer cantaloupe at dinner. The fruit can balance your child's diet, even if he won't eat anything green.
My toddler won't eat!
"Never try to force feed kids," says Dr. Charles Shubin, director of pediatrics for Mercy Medical Center Family Care. "They're in a control battle."
Instead, offer a variety of healthy choices at every meal. This will result in a balanced diet, regardless of what your child eats at each sitting.
My toddler won't eat red meat.
Toddlers tend to avoid red meat because they have trouble chewing it up. Softer meats are good alternatives, such as fish and hamburger. "Never serve anything larger than a dime," Meyers says. Be sure to cut your toddler's food into small, manageable pieces.
My toddler prefers junk food.
If your toddler is a junk food junkie, take a look at your own eating habits. "Kids model their parents," Dr. Shubin says. "If you eat junk, that's what they'll want." Strengthen your healthy eating habits and keep plenty of fresh fruit, cheese, and wholesome food in the house.
Just Relax!
Toddlerhood is a fun stage in life, so don't spend too much time wrapped up in nutrition concerns. Do your part by offering healthy foods to your child and modeling proper eating habits. And trust that over time, even the pickiest of eaters will get a balanced diet.

Media's potential as cultural bridge builder barely tapped, says Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein
Mon Dec 14,2009
Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein said the establishment of world-class platforms like the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) can expand the exposure of global audiences about the perspectives and narratives of one another's culture. She was addressing the annual Cultural Bridge panel organised by DIFF, as Guest of Honour.
Highlighting the importance of media in identity formation and cross-cultural exchanges, she said its potential as cultural bridge builder is barely tapped. Her Majesty Queen Noor said films like Budrus, which was screened as the Cultural Bridge Gala at DIFF, has the power to open up communication and exemplify how media can influence us.
Citing examples and offering personal insights, she explained that media has the power to shift behaviour and thinking, underscoring the power of cinema to serve as a knife to cut through the differences and promote peace and prosperity.
DIFF Chairman Abdulhamid Juma said the Cultural Bridge panel, intrinsically linked to the central credo of the festival – Building Cultures, Meeting Minds – highlights the ability of cinema to break down cultural barriers. He said the media plays a central role in widening the understanding of different cultures.
Julia Bacha, Director of Budrus; Hollywood Producer Mike Medavoy and MIT Professor Rebecca Saxe, participated in the Panel, moderated by Shamil Idriss, chief executive officer of Soliya. The participants discussed the current trends in media, including the emergence of digital media, reiterating the importance of adhering to the traditions of good story telling to bring meaningful change.
Bacha said that documentaries should not "beat people over their head" driven by the sole focus on changing the world, so much that the focus of the filmmakers become clouded. "Only good story telling will change the people." The speakers shared cutting-edge research from the fields of neuro-science and social psychology, offering a unique forum for topical discussion.
The panel discussion complements DIFF 2009's initiative of unveiling a special study 'Media and InterGroup Relations – Research on Media and Social Change,' the result of a two-year effort by the non-profit Alliance of Civilisation Media Fund (AOCMF, renamed, Soliya) to better understand the impact that media has and could have on cross-cultural understanding and integroup relations.
Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein's work across the Arab World has focused on education, conservation, sustainable development, human rights and cross-cultural understanding. Initiatives such as the Noor Al Hussein Foundation, King Hussein Foundation and King Hussein Foundation International – all of which she chairs – have transformed development thinking in Jordan and wider Middle East.
DIFF 2009 is held in association with Dubai Studio City. Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates Airline and Madinat Jumeirah are the principal sponsors of DIFF and the event is supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture).

Daring to make shoes that conform to and empower your feet, ECCO shoes are now known the world over for their dreamlike comfort, speed-inducing performance and sleek, European design. Even though ECCO Footwear sells millions of shoes in over 90 countries, they are still staying true to their founder Karl Toosbuy's philosophy that "shoes must follow the foot" and not the other way around.
To guarantee such a fine end product, ECCO owns and manages almost every step of the production process – from tannery to shoebox. What started as simple, casual shoes has now spawned a well-rounded lineup of shoes that will enhance any branch of your life – from a dewy morning on the green, to an afternoon of seaspray, from an international trip to visit business partners, to an evening out in the city. Offering shoes for men and women, ECCO has an amazing lineup:
If it's clean lines, confidence-inspiring quality, and easy-wearing comfort you desire, Altrec.com has put together an ECCO Style collection that is hard to resist. From delicious summery sandals to supple sneakers to handsome bike toe tie shoes, we love ECCO's Scandinavian versatility.
Running a 5-miler on your lunch break, walking for fitness with your book club friends, or backpacking a via ferrata in Italy, ECCO's Performance collection will keep your feet happy. ECCO hiking boots and shoes are made with durable yet supple leather uppers, removable moisture-regulating insoles to keep your feet from pruning-up, and well-lugged outsoles with as many contours as your topo map. ECCO sport sandals are rugged and protective, without making your toes endure the claustrophobia of sweaty shoes when the sun is out and the lakes, rivers and walking paths are calling.
Following the chain of evolution up the athletic shoe ladder, we're all beginning to discover the sheer perfection of the ECCO Biom collection. We love the "natural motion" feel, ultra supple and lightweight comfort, and the sleek, modern aesthetic of these walking, running and cross-training shoes. And the glowing ECCO Biom shoe reviews our customers post are showing signs of beautiful lifelong love affairs with this footwear. From the casual runner who wears the Biom C shoes to the pro athlete who's on their third pair of Biom A shoes, ECCO has the perfect model for your activity. And they've even introduced the casual Biom Lite shoes for everyday wear when you can't bear the thought of taking your Biom running shoes off.
The sun is out and the fresh air is intoxicating. Whether you're wandering the back alleys and parks of a new city or you're getting some miles in on dirt, let your feet enjoy your time outside as much as you do when you're in a pair of ECCO shoes.

Faith leaders in Africa have a responsibility to act as peacemakers rather than to fuel strife, says a Lutheran theologian from Eritrea in a new book.
Nigerian leaders have rejected the Libyan President's call for the partitioning of Africa's most populous nation into two countries - one for Christians and one for Muslims.
MPs have left received wisdoms unquestioned in their latest report, which frames war-fighting as peace-building, writes John Heathershaw. This idea is quite modern and in keeping with the spirit of our post-colonial age. Yet its consequence is to mainstream peace-building as a strategy to extend world order without questioning the resultant injustices. There is an alternative.
Members of Parliament and other public figures will meet with the Anglican Archbishop of Sudan this afternoon (11 January 2010), at a meeting to discuss peace, war, faith and the future of his troubled country.
A group of international aid agencies has warned of renewed conflict in southern Sudan if urgent international action is not taken to bolster a five-year-old peace agreement that ended a two-decade civil war.
With the ongoing conflicts raging during each passing year, the remarkable story of the World War I Christmas truce remains tragically relevant, says Jim Wallis. Particularly as we think about Afghanistan.
Protesters turned out in force in New York and elsewhere yesterday to remind Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama that war is not justifiable, and to oppose his 30,000-strong troop surge in Afghanistan.
Church activists participating in the World Council of Churches' United Nations Advocacy Week meetings in New York delved deeply into the tragedies and injustices of the current bloody conflict in Colombia. Mark Beach tells the human story behind the politics.
Seventeen years after the war ended in Mozambique, churches are still collecting and destroying weapons and cleaning up areas of unexploded ordnance so the land can be farmed, says Juan Michel. It shows how hope can be built out of destruction.

The only way to receive the award is to first go through an unwanted, hellish season. That's what Kory Lichtensteiger did last season, tearing both the ACL and MCL in his right knee early in the season. Tearing two ligaments makes the road tough; having more surgery in late July makes it even tougher.
Yet, after missing the entire preseason, Lichtensteiger hasn't missed a snap this season.
That's why his teammates voted him as their recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award. He'll be among 32 players honored at a dinner in Baltimore in March.
"It's very cool," said Lichtensteiger, who hurt his knee on Oct. 25, 2011. "To get that vote of confidence from [teammates], to see that they understand how many hardships I've had to go through rehabbing the knee, I think it's very cool."
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said repeatedly last year that Lichtensteiger was their best run blocker. But even they weren't sure how he'd respond in 2012. And, yes, they drafted a potential replacement in guard/center Josh LeRibeus in the third round.
But Shanahan has been impressed with Lichtensteiger's season.
"He's done everything that we've asked him to do. He's played at a very high level. He's very competitive," Shanahan said. "He's a perfectionist even though perfection doesn't always occur in the National Football League, especially in the offensive line. He's given all his effort that he can possibly do to make sure that he plays at a very high level. That's what you have to have on the offensive line – five guys like that, all on the same page."
Lichtensteiger said the knee still bothers him, though he said it hurts worse during the week than a game.
"After games it's pretty rough," Lichtensteiger said.
But, he said, not having to pound during practices helps.
"Mike takes care of his players," Lichtensteiger said. "You're not in there pounding on each other throughout the week. Usually by game day it's feeling OK…There's always a few magic remedies the medical staff can come up with."

Erik Gustafsson Recalled to Philadelphia Flyers
February 25, 2011
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have recalled 5-10, 180-pound defenseman Erik Gustafsson from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to general manager Paul Holmgren. He will join the team in Ottawa and will be available for tomorrow night's game vs. the Senators.
This is the second NHL call-up for Gustafsson. He was recalled on December 29 and spent five days with the Flyers before being returned to Adirondack on January 3, but did not appear in any of the three games the Flyers played while he was on the roster.
Gustafsson, 22 (12-15-88), was signed by the Flyers as a free agent on March 3, 2010. He is tied for the team lead in scoring with five goals an 28 assists for 33 points in 53 games. The 28 assists rank first among AHL rookies.
A native of Kvissleby, Sweden, Gustafsson joined the Phantoms for five games last season following the end of a three-year career at Northern Michigan University. He scored two goals and added five assists for seven points in those five games. Over three seasons at Northern Michigan, Gustafsson posted seven goals and 86 assists for 93 points in 123 games.

Star Mazda and USF2000 Battle at the Milwaukee Mile
The world's oldest operating motor speedway, the Milwaukee Mile, is distinct among ovals for being one of the least banked. The turns boast less than 10 degrees of incline, and the straights are just 2.5 – forcing competitors to feather that throttle ever so gingerly through the curves, a greater challenge than pinning it in similar sections on tracks with steeper banking.
Mazda Road to Indy open-wheel driver development series the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear and Cooper Tires Presents the USF2000 National Championship Powered by Mazda joined the IZOD IndyCar Series at the flat track in June for the Milwaukee 225 weekend.
Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear
Sage Karam held the competition over the fire as his No. 88 Andretti Autosport MAZDASPEED Comfort Revolution Mazda was on point for 93 of 98 laps around the Milwaukee Mile to score its first victory of the season in Round 4 of the 2011 Star Mazda Championship.
Karam, the 2010 USF2000 champion who moved up to compete in the 2011 Star Mazda Championship via a MAZDASPEED scholarship from the Mazda Road to Indy, started from the inside of the second row but took the lead on Lap 5 and stretched it to a 13.430-second margin of victory over Martin Scuncio in the No. 60 Juncos Racing Bia Comunicaciones Cable Del Pacifico Mazda.
In winning, Karam also turned the fastest lap of the race, a 27.763 (131.614 mph). Pole-winner Nick Andries claimed the final podium spot in his No. 81 Team Pelfrey Lithionics Battery GS610 Brake Fluid Trademark Garage Floors Mazda.
"The car was just hooked up. After falling back to fifth place at the start, we didn't expect to do this well. We just had to go through and pick everybody off. I couldn't believe how good the car was during the race tonight; it was really great to drive. I have to thank everyone on the Andretti Autosport team, from the crew to Michael Andretti to J-F Thormann, as well as Comfort Revolution and Mazda."
The night's biggest drama was a Lap 14 crash involving Jérimy Daniel in the No. 26 Daniel Racing FixAuto Sherwin-Williams Mazda. The yellow flag lasted eight laps, with the field returning to green-flag racing on Lap 22.
The restart provided the one opportunity Andries had to challenge for the lead. The final pass of consequence took place on Lap 81 when California racer Gustavo Menezes in the No. 28 Juncos Racing Truecar Safety Park Mazda took a run at Andries, a move that cost them both as Scuncio, who started seventh, made a perfectly-judged pass to move into second.
Menezes wound up coming home fifth, while French racer Tristan Vautier, who came into the race leading the championship, finished fourth in the No. 5 JDC Motorsports Cecibon Circuit du Laquais Mazda. Connor De Phillippi, the only two-race winner so far this season, started from the outside of the front row in the Team Pelfrey Justice Brothers Products Trademark Garage Floors Mazda, but handling problems saw him slowly drift back through the field to finish sixth.
With his second fourth-place finish in a row, Vautier actually stretched his lead in the championship battle; he came into the Milwaukee race with just one point separating him from Connor De Phillippi, who won Round 1 at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and Round 3 at the Night Before the 500. Now the gap is five points, 151 versus 146. Andries is in third with 139 points, Scuncio moves up to fourth with 136 and Karam climbs to fifth with 131 points.
Cooper Tires Presents the USF2000 National Championship Powered by Mazda
The fireworks continued when the USF2000 National Championship cars took to the track to contest the sixth round of the 2011 campaign. Northern Ireland's Wayne Boyd was the big winner of the night, taking control of the race on the first lap then keeping pole-sitter Zach Veach at bay for the 50-lap event. It was the first trip ever to winner's circle for Boyd and his Belardi Auto Racing team.
Boyd, 20, who qualified second in the No. 4 Belardi Auto Racing Van Diemen-Mazda, made a poor initial getaway from the rolling start and fell momentarily to third place behind Veach and a fast-starting Petri Suvanto (No. 3 Viseko Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing), who ensured the leaders were three-wide on the entrance to Turn One. When the first two found their lines slightly compromised, Boyd was able to carry more momentum onto the back straightaway, and then ducked to the inside of Veach as they swept into Turn Three.
The gap between the top two cars was rarely more than a few car lengths as Veach, driving the Andretti Autosport No. 7 Zakosi Data Backup entry, kept piling on the pressure. Boyd eked out a little breathing space when the leaders encountered some slower traffic at around two-thirds distance, but Veach again closed down the deficit. Their battle raged all the way to the finish before Boyd held on to become the fifth different winner from six races this season. The final margin between them after 50 laps was a mere 0.304 second.
"I started on the front row in P2 beside Zach. He made a good start and I didn't. I really struggled and went into the first turn in third or fourth. I had to commit to the outside line and it really paid off. I went around the outside behind Zach and caught a good draft off of him going into [Turn] Three and was able to get him on the inside.
"After that, I just put my head down and kept consistent because I knew Zach had a good pace under him as well. I put my head down, judged the traffic accordingly and it was a good race for us. I want to say a massive thanks to Belardi Auto Racing for all their help. They were a brand new team this year and they got their first win. Also, a massive thanks to the Milwaukee Irish Fest for their continued support."
The final step on the podium was filled by Mexico City-based Colombian Juan Piedrahita, whose No. 19 Petrosur GFK Motors Montopharma Colombia es passion Red Line Oil entry just edged out JDC Motorsports teammate Luke Ellery (No. 85 Melbourne IT/Luke-Ellery.com/Red Line Oil).
With the season half done, Suvanto leads the drivers championship with 156 markers, trailed by Veach at 139 and Spencer Pigot at 138. For the team title, Andretti Autosport has the most points, 182, ahead of Cape Motorsports at 132 and JDC Motorsports at 106.

Some of you may already be aware, but the August issue is my last as managing editor of Today's Garden Center. Starting next month someone else's picture will grace this page, as I will be taking off to care for my newborn baby.
Don't think you've gotten rid of me that easily, though. Once I've had a short maternity leave I will come back to write for the magazine on a monthly basis, so you will still see my name. It was a difficult decision to make, but in the end I decided I wanted to stay home with my baby and experience all those wonderful "firsts."
My Own Firsts
I look around my desk, though, as I write this and see reminders of all the amazing things I've experienced in the industry. It wasn't so long ago I was experiencing all my own firsts in garden retail. My first industry event was the GCA Holiday Tour in Detroit, which I attended about a month after I arrived here. It was there I realized how kind and generous this industry really was, and I knew I would enjoy being a part of it. I've participated in tons of events, from trade shows to retail tours and garden center visits, to lobbying for the industry on Capitol Hill with the Society of American Florists. I've met a plethora of people. I've even seen my own magazine give back to the industry with its support of the ANLA Retail Rising Star through a scholarship program.
When I started at Today's Garden Center, we were an upstart – we came out six times a year, and were only beginning to build our place in the industry. Today, we hit readers monthly; we have a Web site updated frequently with news, products and on-the-road musings; and we have a weekly e-newsletter to make sure our readers stay informed.
We also launched our Revolutionary 100 Garden Centers list in 2006 to recognize true innovators in the industry, and received tons of positive feedback and support for it. This year, we took it a step further to recognize regional winners and an overall national winner. Next year, we have even more in store for you!
I'm proud of the "first steps" we've taken, and the work we've done over the years. I look back at the magazine covers and realize the amazing amount of information we've been able to share with readers through the voices of our retailers. As someone with a journalism background, I firmly believe everyone has a great story to tell, and it's been a pleasure being able to find those people and share their stories with you.
On a personal note, I would like to single out a few people who have been of great support to me during my tenure. Those people include our columnists Sid Raisch and Kurt Fromherz, former TGC Group Editor Delilah Onofrey (who recently returned to the position of Editor of Greenhouse Grower, our sister magazine), OFA Executive Director John Holmes and ANLA Director of Marketing & Industry Relations Jonathan Bardzik. There are many more to thank, as well – too many for this space. So I will just say thanks for the memories! Salut!
Are You Revolutionary?
Every year we survey garden center retailers all over the country to find our Revolutionary 100 Garden Centers list. The list isn't based on size of the retailer or revenue, but rather on their ingenuity and innovation.
We want as many garden center retailers to fill out the survey as possible this year, so we've streamlined it to make it faster and easier. Those who qualify will be featured on the list in the January issue of TGC.
To participate in the survey, go to www.todaysgardencenter.com and click on the 100 Revolutionary Garden Centers Survey button on the home page.
Good luck!

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A group of Muslims from New Jersey is appealing a federal judge's dismissal of a lawsuit against the New York City Police Department over its surveillance of Muslims.
Attorneys with Muslim Advocates and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a notice of appeal Friday over the dismissal of a 2012 lawsuit brought by Muslim individuals and groups. They alleged the NYPD's surveillance of their activities was unconstitutional because it was based on religion, national origin and race.
U.S. District Judge William Martini ruled last month that the NYPD's activities were part of a lawful effort to prevent terrorism. He says the suit had been filed in reaction to Associated Press stories revealing the NYPD's secret activities.
A spokesman for New York City's Law Department declined to comment on the appeal.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) – Even though they may have had a slightly different take, both Congressman Fred Upton and his challenger Democrat Mike O'Brien believe taxes play a major role in turning around snowballing income disparity.
At the first debate for the 6th District, held on Western Michigan University's campus Monday evening, both candidates were asked to respond to a study that showed income disparity has risen dramatically since 1979.
Replying first, O'Brien made it clear that putting Americans back to work is priority number one. "We have a role as Americans to look after each other," O'Brien commented. The West Michigan native went on to say that, "we need to make sure that everyone and every corporation pays its taxes so that the revenue is coming into the system and we do everything in our power to make sure that the least among us has everything they need."
On a similar note, Republican Congressman Upton answered the question by trumpeting the commitment he has to partner with businesses, small and large, to create jobs. Upton agreed with O'Brien that to create jobs, taxes must play a key role. However, instead of focusing on ensuring businesses only pay their taxes, Upton emphasized the importance of lowering the corporate tax rate to 25 percent consequently eliminating loopholes that allow big businesses to exempt themselves from paying taxes.
Watch above for answers and rebuttals from both candidates at the debate hosted by WMUK, MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette.

When he announced that he's planning on taking some time off from acting for a bit, most of us assumed we could forget Channing Tatum playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
I, for one, was a bit disappointed with the news, because he's a major piece of eye candy and I'd have absolutely no problem staring at his chiseled muscles and rock-hard body thrusting all over Anastasia Steele for a good two hours or so. (Whew. Is it hot in here?)
But after hearing that he and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum are expecting their first child, it's understandable that Channing would want to take a step back from acting for a bit. Although that doesn't necessarily mean he won't be a part of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
A list of possible Fifty Shades of Grey movie directors has emerged, and yes, Channing Tatum made the cut. OMG. Now that he's becoming a dad, it's the perfect time for him to give directing a try, don't you think? He'd probably have a lot more time with Jenna and the baby too.
He managed to snag the number four spot as far as favorite potential directors go, and here's how the entire list worked out. (In case you're curious as to who else is on it.)
Who do you think would make the perfect director for Fifty Shades of Grey?
Image via Pacific Coast News
Uh, " it's the perfect time for him to give directing a try, don't you think? He'd probably have a lot more time with Jenna and the baby too."
Do you know what a director is? *facepalm*
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE NO!!!! He's cute but he barely speaks in his other movies!! "Christian Grey" is an artist when he speaks. He's smart and poetic. We need someone that speaks suave and speaks other languages, fluently. We need a new face. Please, NOT CHANNING TATUM!!!!!
I really dont know. but I love him.

PInvoke Visual Studio Add-in
Find and contribute PInvoke signatures
PInvoke.net, meaning Platform Invoke, is a wiki used by around 50,000 .NET developers a month to find and contribute PInvoke signatures (also known as Declare statements in VB), type definitions, and any other information related to calling Win32, or other unmanaged APIs in managed code (languages such as C# or VB.NET).
As a wiki, it is user driven and acts as a repository where developers can contribute or retrieve information as they wish.
Copy and paste your way to productivity
Certain things just can't be done in pure .NET, and the developer has to drill down to the Windows API. This is achieved through .NET's Platform Invoke (PInvoke) functionality, which requires declarations to be supplied by the developer. Manually defining and using PInvoke signatures is an error-prone process that can introduce extremely subtle bugs. PInvoke.net supplies you with tried and tested signatures and type definitions, so that you don't have to spend time writing them from scratch.
Visual Studio integration for the quick and easy insertion of PInvoke signatures
Download the PInvoke.net add-in for Visual Studio and save yourself the effort of having to open up a web browser to search for the PInvoke.net website. You can now insert a PInvoke signature with the click of a button while you're working on your application in Visual Studio. The PInvoke add-in supports Visual Studio 2003 - 2013.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Louisville Cardinals fans had their chance to peek at the floor from this year's national championship in Atlanta during the first Red and White scrimmage of the 2013 – 2014 basketball season.
Some of the pieces featured an autograph from head coach Rick Pitino.
Pieces of the floor were sold for as low as $50 and fans say it's a great souvenir from an amazing season.
"Probably the best one I've seen so far, souvenirs I bought," fan David Cralle said.
"What we're trying to do is offer people an opportunity to touch the pieces, take a closer look at them because you don't have that opportunity online and then buy them and take them home with them today," Northwestern Mutual Chief Marketing Officer Chris Brice said.
Proceeds from the sale will go to pediatric cancer research at Kosair Children's Hospital and at the University of Louisville's Department of Pediatrics.
Pieces are also sold online starting at $99.

When you've travelled to Tasmania, everyone asked me – did you see a Tasmanian devil? It was the first question from my friends and family, young and old. And yes, I did.
I was asked what I knew before I saw a Tasmanian devil – what size it was, what colour it was and realized many of my assumptions were based on Taz, the crazy cartoon character from Warner Brothers. Not exactly a reliable source.
So when I realized I had no idea what this small marsupial looked like – I was even more intrigued to meet a Tasmanian devil. Would it be ferocious in any way? Would it be scary or mean?
And this is what I got to see – the real deal. The Tasmanian devil – black, with a few white spots, red ears and a fairly quiet demeanor. These animals are solitary and aren't found wandering the countryside in groups, looking for a fight.
In fact, the Tasmanian devil is endangered, and with the help of places like Bonorong Wildlife Park where I got to see this devil, there's hope for their future survival.
But as you can, not the brown ferocious beast who would whirl into a swirl of dust and attack for no reason.
And really – this is how this devil acts with Greg, the owner of Bonorong Wildlife Park, where this devil lives for now, until hopefully gets to move back to the wild:
So now you know the real deal. Don't believe the hype!
