My eight year old is always looking for creative ways to make cash, I'm assuming he got that from me. Either way, he's constantly selling something or trying to earn money by helping out. Just the other day he asked me what else he could do to earn money so I decided to ask our Facebook fans.
{10 Creative Ways Your Kids Can Earn Cash}
"My oldest is 10, we have an agreement that for every A on her report card she earns $5.00 for every B she earns $2.00 for every C she owes me $2.00 and for every D or F she owes me $5.00 it works as a rewards, method as well as a punishment method." -Savannah
"My sixteen year old started sewing about a year ago and now she's making money by making clothes for her siblings and cousins." -Charity
"Collecting cans. Doesn't earn much money but he learns the value of how hard it can be for some people to earn a dollar." -Cindy
"My little ones set up a shaved Ice stand in the driveway during the summer!" -Laura
"My 7 yr old's iPod was stolen. I refused to replace it, but told him he can earn money to replace it. He made & sold homemade cinnamon rolls - so far he's up to $175!!" -Ambrosia
"Walking the neighbors dogs, watering their plants while they are on vacation, and babysitting." -Michelle
"We work hard to eat healthy around the house, but it seems like my daughter is constantly getting candy at school, church, birthday parties, etc. She can keep 5 pieces at a time and then turn in the rest for a nickel or dime each." -Cassie
"My 8 year old daughter has an account at Mother's Helper...a consignment store in Sand Springs that sells kid's clothes and toys and maternity items. They were nice enough to let her have her own account. So, she purges toys, etc. from her room on a regular basis and earns money by dropping them off at the consignment store. It's fun for her to check her balance there, monthly. It's fun for me to see unused things leave my house!" -Glenda
"Chores get done as my boys' part of living in the house with no pay. Then we have a commission system where there is a list of commission jobs that they can do to earn money." -LeAnn
"I give a dime or quarter for the "art" work they let us get rid of. Obviously not the good stuff. But this helps to keep down on our clutter." -April
You guys are so creative! I cannot tell you how many ideas I have tried to turn into a business over the years and all failed except for the one you see now. I'm trying to encourage my kids to do the same, keep the ideas flowing and push through the ones that don't work until you find the one that does!

Sardis Raptor Center obtains 'unusual' falcon
Sardis Raptor Center on Valley View Road in Custer obtained an unusual Peregrine falcon last winter, and has begun showing it at their "Hunters of the Sky" programs in the area.
It's a Tundra Peregrine, a crow-sized bird that normally breeds on the ground in the arctic tundra from western Alaska to Greenland and winters in Latin America.
It's the same species as the Peale's Peregrine falcons that are found in Whatcom County but is much lighter in color.
"It came to us from eastern Washington," said Sardis Director Sharon Wolters, "and had jesses on its legs, indicating it was trained as a hunter."
But difficulty in tracking the bird back to its owner and its unusual origins indicate that the bird might have been amateur trained, "as in poorly trained," Wolters said.
Since it's against federal law for anyone who's not licensed to have such a bird, it made its way to Sardis last winter, just as Wolters and her staff were trying to save their facility from flood waters that inundated the first floor.
"We pretty much had to tear everything out back to the studs," she said, "because of the water. We'll end up in better shape than before, but it wasn't easy."
The Peregrine cannot be released,
she said, because it's
been habituated to humans and will go to them for food.
For more information, or to volunteer, call Sardis at 366-3863 or go to their website at www.sardisraptor.org.

Well, did you evah.
For many of these women, the reading experience begins from a place of seething rage. Take Sara Marcus' initial impression of Jack Kerouac: "I remember putting On the Road down the first time a woman was mentioned. I was just like: 'Fuck. You.' I was probably 15 or 16. And over the coming years I realized that it was this canonical work, so I tried to return to it, but every time I was just like, 'Fuck you.'" Tortorici had a similarly visceral reaction to Charles Bukowski: "I will never forget reading Bukowski's Post Office and feeling so horrible, the way that the narrator describes the thickness of ugly women's legs. I think it was the first time I felt like a book that I was trying to identify with rejected me. Though I did absorb it, and of course it made me hate my body or whatever." Emily Witt turned to masculine texts to access a sexual language that was absent from books about women, but found herself turned off by their take: "many of the great classic coming-of-age novels about the female experience don't openly discuss sex," she says in No Regrets. "I read the ones by men instead, until I was like, 'I cannot read another passage about masturbation. I can't. It was like a pile of Kleenex."
This isn't just about the books. When young women read the hyper-masculine literary canon—what Emily Gould calls the "midcentury misogynists," staffed with the likes of Roth, Mailer, and Miller—their discomfort is punctuated by the knowledge that their male peers are reading these books, identifying with them, and acting out their perspectives and narratives. These writers are celebrated by the society that we live in, even the one who stabbed his wife. In No Regrets, Elif Bautman talks about reading Henry Miller for the first time because she had a "serious crush" on a guy who said his were "the best books ever," and that guy's real-life recommendation exacerbated her distaste for the fictional. When she read Miller, "I felt so alienated by the books, and then thinking about this guy, and it was so hot and summertime … I just wanted to kill myself. … He compared women to soup."
In No Regrets, women writers talk about what it was like to read literature's "midcentury misogynists." (via becauseiamawoman)
Here's a fun thing you learn when you study literature: the western canon is not universally beloved. Those books are not the Truth any more than the New York Post is skilled journalism. The main reason they're held in such high esteem is because they were written by boring white dudes with rage fantasies and boring white dudes with rage fantasies also happen to be largely in charge of deciding which books are deemed classics and taught forever in the American school system.
So if your boyfriend tells you he loves Kerouac then you tell your boyfriend Kerouac was a fucking second rate hack who wrote Beat style because he didn't have the skill or talent to write any other way, which is probably also why he just copied every adolescent male wanderlust story since the beginning of time. That shit's derivative and boring.

An overnight storm producing high winds has put thousands without power Thursday morning.
According to the Oncor website, more than 6,000 customers lost their electricity.
The National Weather Service reports trees and down around the counties of Angelina, Nacogdoches, Houston and San Augustine between 12:50 a.m. and 2 a.m.
Several schools delayed the start of classes, as they were without power.
Diboll resident Shawn Murphy said he woke up in a panic aroud 1:30 a.m. when he heard what sounded like a train coming through his living room window.
"I looked out the door and I seen a bunch of debris flying by so I went in to wake my wife up and get her away from the windows. I came out here and no more before I went to my back door...I see the roof go up there. It was something I had never seen before. It was like just there," Murphy said.
Angelina County Precinct 4 Commissioner Scott Cooper said clean-up crews have been on the scene for hours.
"This morning we're out running the roads, answering calls, trying to clear all the tree debris that is on the roads, and get them off to make the roads passable," Cooper said.
As of 5 p.m. around 8,500 people in Angelina County and Nacogdoches County are still without power.

Public hearing on UGA amendments Tuesday
Published on Thu, May 21, 2009
Read More
By Tara Nelson
The city of Blaine has scheduled a public hearing to discuss proposed reductions in Blaine's urban growth area for 7 p.m. May 26 at city hall.
The meeting comes after a 2007 decision by the Washington State Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB) that found nearly 20,000 acres of Whatcom County out of compliance with the state's growth management act (GMA) in terms of rural and urban density as well as commercial and industrial land uses.
As a result, the hearings board is requiring cities, counties and other communities such as Blaine, Birch Bay and Point Roberts to reduce the size of their UGAs by December 1.
Whatcom County planning director David Stalheim said the directive is intended to preserve the character of rural areas by preventing sprawl and suburban-type development while concentrating growth in urban areas.
Stalheim said although the details have not been finalized, preliminary numbers show that Blaine has one of the most "significantly-oversized" UGAs in the county.
Based on Whatcom County projections, Blaine's population will grow by 2,000 to 3,700 people over the next 20 years but that existing city limits are currently able to accommodate an increase of more than 11,000. Add to that, the roughly 3,000 acres of developable land in the UGA that stretches from south of Blaine, along Drayton Harbor Road and to part of Semiahmoo can accommodate as many as 20,000.
"It's not in balance at all," he said. "The city limits show they can handle more than their projected growth, so there's no need for an urban growth area.
"That might be concerning for residents within the city of Blaine because there are some areas that the city would logically like to grow into."
Blaine community development director Terry Galvin said he will submit a proposal to the county that will recommend removing the south portion of Blaine's UGA that exists along Drayton Harbor Road and preserving parts of the UGA to the west of Semiahmoo, where there has been considerable real estate investment and south of east Blaine, near the city's manufacturing and light industrial zones.
"In west Blaine there has already been 350 homes built within the UGA," he said. "And in east Blaine we already lack adequate capacity for commercial and light industrial," he said. "We've had in the past potential manufacturing companies come in over the years and then move on because there weren't adequate pieces of land."
When asked how much he thought the county would cut from Blaine's UGA, Stalheim said he couldn't say.
"It's a little too early to say," he said. "The initial review of Blaine is that it's significantly oversized, but until we get through their proposals it's a little premature."
Birch Bay UGA amendments
About 20 Birch Bay residents met at the Birch Bay Bible Community Church last Monday in a public hearing hosted by Whatcom County. Although it was the last in a series of public comment periods hosted by the county, Birch Bay residents will still have an opportunity to make their voices heard when the proposal goes in front of Whatcom County Council next month.
The Birch Bay UGA covers nearly 4,200 acres stretching from Point Whitehorn to Birch Point and north to Lincoln Road. County planners say Birch Bay's population can be expected to grow by 3,000 to 6,000 over the next 20 years.
The current community plan for Birch Bay, meanwhile, has additional growth allocation for a little more than 4,000 people.
Stalheim said if the county decides to adopt that number, it would mean the Birch Bay UGA is oversized by about 300 net acres, after adjusting for wetlands.
"So it's possible in order to get the 300 net acres, we have to take out 500 acres because part of that might be undevelopable wetlands," he said.
He added that county officials will be considering the capacity of the UGA for accommodating employment needs and housing types as well as population. An example would be Blaine's lack of land for light industrial and commercial manufacturing.
"It appears Blaine needs additional lands for employment opportunities, although Birch Bay is a little different than that. They don't show they need additional land for employment opportunities. So those factors will also influence the land capacity results," he said.
Public comment sought
The county planning staff is expected to prepare a recommendation to present to the Whatcom County Council on June 16 and the council will schedule a public hearing for June 23.
After that, the proposed UGA revisions will go back to the county planning commission for review and then submitted back to the council with more public hearings scheduled for September.
A final recommendation to the state hearings board is scheduled for December 1.
Environmental impact statement
County planners have also issued a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the urban growth area review.
The DEIS evaluates potential social, economic and environmental impacts as a result of the plan and is available for review at

Deputies with the Angelina County Sheriff's Office have arrested four suspects in an attempted home invasion on FM 2021 in July. They are asking for the public's help in locating two more suspects who are believed to be in the Houston area.
Deputies arrested Dwayne Adams, 22, Brandon Hatter, 20, Derrick Mojekwu, 31, and Bernard Palmer, 29, all of Houston, on Thursday. All four are charged with first-degree aggravated robbery, second-degree aggravated assault and state-jail felony engaging in organized criminal activity. They are being held on a collective $600,000 bail each.
Sheriff Greg Sanches said his office is trying to locate Rashad Terrell, 21, and Jordy Wimbush, 30. They are believed to be in the Houston area.
Investigators with the sheriff's office began the investigation in July after a homeowner had gotten him and when four men pulled up and tried to force him to open his front door. He refused to do so and one of them men fired a round through a window before all four fled the scene.
"There was a firearm that was used," said Sanches. "It was shot through the person's window who was being burglarized, so we do treat a person like that as armed and dangerous so if they see him report to the sheriff department and let us handle it."
Sanches said it is not clear whether Terrell and Wimbush were with the original group of four or in a separate vehicle.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Terrell or Wimbush should call the sheriff's office at 936-634-3332.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - People of the Valley came together Friday night to open their hearts and help give hope to those fighting cancer.
Over a thousand people take part in the American Cancer Society's Relay in Boardman to raise money to help fight the disease, as well as pay tribute to those who have lost their battle with cancer.
Boardman's relay is the second largest in the state; second to Warren.
It begins with a lap made up of cancer survivors all wearing purple shirts.
Regina Marks was one of those survivors. She just found out yesterday that she is finally cancer free.
She says the event is a celebration.
"Absolutely, it's a celebration if you look at it any other way you are not going to make it. Every day has to be positive you have to find the positive no matter what," says Marks.
Over the years, the Boardman relay alone has raised over $4 million for the Cancer Society.
Relay participants do it through people like Missy Megan, who said she'd get her head shaved if she reached her personal goal of $500. She raised over $1,000.
"I'm really proud of what I accomplished here today and what I did for everybody out here and for those I lost that I loved, especially my Dad and for my Mom who was married to him for 53 years," says Megan.
Liberty also had their relay Friday. Theirs is one of the only relays that takes place in a park. Their relay was in Church Hill Park.
"I think it's so important to people because they have a connection. So if it's a cancer survivor, they connect to other survivors here. If it's people who provided care for a loved one, they find someone to connect with here. It's really about a community coming together to fight and help raise money for cancer," says organizer Ron Scirocco.
Maybe one of the reasons these relays are so popular in the Mahoning Valley is because we truly do care for one another. For cancer survivors and their families, support is crucial and it should never end.
"When you're going through it, it's not only that time that you are diagnosed and you go on with your treatment. It lasts for a lifetime. It's always with you and those people are with you too. You keep those people that are close in this community. You keep them in your heart and you help others all the time," says cancer survivor, JoAnne Sura of Girard.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman
Unwind takes place in a world where children (orphans) are used as organ donors against their will. The ethical dilemma is that, technically, the "unwound" children are alive after their organ donations. The book focuses on the lives of children who are on the run to avoid being unwound. The plot of the book and the characters were very good, but the writing style was terrible.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KELO-AM) – A South Dakota Army National Guard pilot took his final flight last week finishing a career of more than 30 years of service to the state and nation as a military aviator.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Ken East flew a C-12 King Air fixed-wing aircraft for the last time as a National Guard pilot at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Rapid City. East, of Rapid City, will retire July 31.
"I've been in the military most of my adult life and there were good and bad times, but I when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing," said East. "As I continue to create new chapters in my life, none of it would be complete without the continued love and support of my family."
Following his flight, East also relinquished command of his unit, Detachment 48, Operational Support Airlift Command, to Chief Warrant Officer 4 Wayne Walker, a position he held since September 2010.
East's military career includes active-duty service in the U.S. Air Force and Army, as well as service in the Montana National Guard. He has flown both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to include the UH-1 Huey, OH-58 Kiowa and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
East has flown countless missions over the years, which includes wildland fire suppression missions, drug-trafficking surveillance missions for state and federal law enforcement agencies and U.S.-Mexico border-patrol operations. He also flew aerial support and security for former President Bill Clinton's visit to South Dakota. East also served as the commander of the SDNG's Counterdrug Rapid Assessment and Interdiction Detachment and Company A, 1-112th Aviation Regiment.
East is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and served during peace-keeping operations in Kosovo. While deployed to Afghanistan from August 2011- July 2012, East flew the KA- 300 King Air aircraft – performing combat-surveillance missions supporting coalition ground forces.
From August 2003 – August 2004, he deployed to Kosovo and flew UH-60 Black Hawks in support of medical evacuation operations throughout the country.
East also served a decade as a civilian aviator, flying as an emergency medical helicopter pilot in Rapid City, Aberdeen and Minot, N.D.
East said he is looking forward to spending more time with his wife, Deb, and children, Eric and Shannon.

Phone thefts soar as kill-switch debate heats up
There are steps you can take now to minimize the fallout if your smartphone gets nicked. But many say technology that would render phones completely useless if they're taken is still needed.
This post comes from Herb Weisbaum at partner site CNBC.
Smartphone thefts rarely make national news anymore -- unless the victim was seriously hurt or killed during the robbery.
But the crime spree has not gone away. In fact, it seems to have gotten worse.
About 3.1 million Americans had their phones stolen last year, according to a just-released national survey by Consumer Reports. That's nearly double the magazine's estimate of 1.6 million mobile phones stolen during 2012.
"You have to take into account the fact that there are more smartphone owners now, but 3.1 million is still a pretty big number," said Donna Tapellini, a senior editor at the magazine.
Why do so many thieves snatch smartphones? Because it's lucrative -- they can quickly turn that phone into cash.
If your phone is stolen, your carrier can disable it and add it to a national database, so that it won't be activated again. But this blacklist does not always work in other countries, where stolen phones can be sold and brought back to life.
That's why New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon formed the Secure Our Smartphones (S.O.S.) initiative to push for "kill switch" technology in all new smartphones.
Throw that kill switch and the phone would never work again -- anywhere in the world. That, they say, would remove the economic incentive for this crime.
A new survey of 1,200 smartphone users by William Duckworth, a business professor at Creighton University, shows overwhelming support for this anti-theft technology.
"Not only do people want a free kill switch on all phones, they expect it," Duckworth said.
Most people, 83 percent, really think this will bring down crime and 99 percent believe the wireless carriers should make that a blanket option for everyone," Duckworth said.
Some cellphone makers got behind the idea of a kill switch last year, but American wireless carriers have consistently opposed it—until very recently.
Critics claim that opposition was based on economics, since the carriers make a lot of money from the sale of phone insurance.
As part of his research, Duckworth looked at the economic impact of kill switch technology. He estimates that it could save American consumers up to $2.6 billion a year. Here's how he figured that:
- We spend $580 million to replace stolen phones each year.
- We pay another $4.8 billion for premium cell phone insurance—that covers theft—from the wireless carriers.
Duckworth's research indicates that at least half of all smartphone owners would reduce their insurance coverage if kill switch technology was widely adopted and lowered the crime rate. They would switch from premium insurance sold by the wireless carriers to more basic coverage offered by third-parties, such as Apple and Square Trade, which according to Duckworth's estimate would save another $2 billion a year.
Cellphone companies offer their solution
On Tuesday, CTIA—the Wireless Association, announced that the five major U.S. carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon), along with major equipment manufacturers (including Apple, Google, HTC America, Motorola, Microsoft and Samsung) had signed onto the Smartphone Anti-Theft Voluntary Commitment.
They agreed that all new smartphones manufactured after July 2015 for sale in the U.S. would offer, at no cost to the consumer, an anti-theft tool that is preloaded or could be downloaded.
This software would allow the owner to remotely erase all data on the phone, prevent its use without a password or PIN, and prevent reactivation without the authorized user's permission.
This is similar to Apple's Activation Lock, built into iOS 7. This security feature gives owners the ability to remotely erase all the data on the phone and lock it so that it cannot be reactivated without the Apple ID and password. There is also similar software available for Android phones.
DA Gascon and AG Schneiderman called CTIA's decision "a welcome step forward," and an "important acknowledgement by the smartphone industry that technology to deter theft is not only feasible, but also practical."
But in a joint statement they said this voluntary program "falls short of what is needed to effectively end the epidemic of smartphone theft." They want the anti-theft features enabled by default on all new smartphones, rather than relying on customers to opt-in.
State Senator Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, is the prime sponsor of a bill in the California legislature (SB 962) that would require all smartphones sold in that state to come equipped with pre-enabled theft-deterring technology. He also found CTIA's announcement less than adequate.
"For stolen phones to have no resale value on the black market, the vast majority of consumers must have the theft-deterrent feature pre-enabled on their phones," Sen. Leno said in a statement. "Inexplicably, the mobile industry refuses to take this approach, which will simply prolong the epidemic of thefts we're seeing in California and the rest of the country."
Consumer Reports just published a list of five things you can do to protect your smart phone from theft or loss.
More from CNBC
not only do you pay for the insurance but they also charge you a fee 50+ to replace the phone even if you do have insurance... I'm not sure what to say to that either.
i'm one who self's insure but perhaps i should get into the the insurance business... seems like no brainer easy money.
Don't be naïve, this isn't solely about protecting your cell phone. This gives police and authorities the ability to shut off cell phones that might be recording them. A much better solution would be to load a "track and report" software into all these phones which the owner can then activate if their phone is stolen or lost. If stolen you can create a nice data file on where these thefts are happening where the phones go and so forth. And if simply lost you can find it again. Let just say for emphasis: When the Government is trying to mandate something it's rarely in the best interest of citizens.

"Humor is healing. Music is inspiring." That's how Staff Sgt. Robert Henline summed up last night's Stand Up for Heroes benefit — an annual event for injured service members, veterans, and their families produced by the New York Comedy Festival and the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
In March 2007, Henline's truck hit a roadside bomb while he was serving his third tour in Iraq. He suffered burns over 38 percent of his body and lost his left ear in the explosion — but Henline held on to his sense of humor. Before the show, the vet worked the red carpet outside of Manhattan's Beacon Theatre with stars like Ricky Gervais and Roger Waters — and even joked about preparing the Pink Floyd bassist for his Stand Up performance by tossing firecrackers into Waters' dressing room.

A Jackson County man has admitted he continued to collect Social Security benefits for his uncle for more than a year after he died.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Michael Smith, 36, of Sandyville, pleaded guilty Monday, Feb. 10, to theft of government money.
Smith served as representative payee for his uncle, James Conrad, beginning in October 2008. Conrad died in April 2009 and his benefits should have terminated. Smith, however, continued to receive benefits for 14 months, Goodwin said.
Smith faces up to five years in prison and mandatory restitution in the amount of $10,110. He's scheduled to be sentenced May 7.
The Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Erik S. Goes handled the prosecution. The plea was taken by United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.

(WMC-TV) - A nationwide rescue effort is underway for 34 tigers and cougars that can no longer be care for by their 72-year-old caretaker.
The tigers and a few cougars were living at Riverglen Tiger Shelter in Mountainburg, Arkansas.
"Their caregiver, 72-year-old Betty Young, could no longer take care of them because of ailing health," said Tanya Smith, Owner of Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. "She's pretty much crippled now so it's an urgent, urgent need."
Young cared for the animals by walking up and down a rugged mountaintop where the cages were located. The cat's food and water had to be hauled up and down the mountain by foot or four wheeler, conditions that made the rescue difficult and even more necessary.
In fact, National Geographic investigated the owner for their series on reserves in need of interventions.
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge helped in the rescue.
"Once we got there and saw it, we were like, 'We don't have a choice. We have got to get busy and save all of these animals that are living out on this hilltop,'" said Smith.
The cost associated with the rescue was more than Smith and Turpentine Creek could handle alone.
At this time, all but five of the cats have been brought down from the hilltop. Most of the cats were between 15 and 22 years old. The average length of life for a tiger is 15 to 20 years old.
"The average per diem that we consider to take care of a large tiger like this per year is about $10,000,increasing the facilities annual budget by around $300,000," said Smith.

A Meditation on Judas by the Rev. Dr. Kristin Largen
It is well-established in the Christian theological tradition that if anyone is in hell, Judas certainly is there—if not for his betrayal, then for his suicide. And, while I am not going to talk specifically about that aspect of Christian teaching on Judas, suffice it to say that much of it is deplorable [including what is found in the theology of Augustine and Luther—just to name a few examples]. Catholic doctrine still considers suicide a grave sin; and over the centuries, Judas has been held up as doubly-condemned, and used as a threatening example of someone who despaired of God's grace, thereby permanently cutting himself off from God's forgiveness. This rhetoric suggests, either implicitly or explicitly—depending on how it is wielded—that all those who have completed suicide have damned themselves and are beyond God's reach; and that is neither for us to say, nor for us to assume, based on who God has revealed Godself to be in Jesus Christ.
So, back to Judas the betrayer. We have Dante to thank, as much as anyone, for the vivid imagery that describes not only hell itself, but Judas' torment there as well. In Dante's imagination, Judas is at the lowest point of the universe, in the very center of the icy floor of hell. In other words, Judas himself represents the absolute nadir of hell.
In Dante's Inferno, after descending circle by circle, passing the gluttonous—forced to lie in stinking, freezing slush in circle three, the angry and the sullen—the former fighting on the surface of the river Styx and the latter gurgling beneath it in circle five, and the heretics, trapped in flaming tombs in circle six, Dante and his guide Virgil finally reach the frozen center of hell, where the betrayers are found: the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low. There, frozen in the center, stands an enormous Satan, encrusted in ice up to his chest, black wings beating an arctic frost into the air. He has three terrible heads, and three insatiable mouths, with which he gorges himself eternally on the three worst betrayers in human history. Brutus and Cassius [betrayers of Julius Caesar] are on the left and the right, and Judas is in the middle—head eternally gnawed in Satan's mouth, back eternally flayed by Satan's claws. According to Dante, Judas bears the greatest pain of anyone in hell.
Perhaps this is true; perhaps this is fitting—certainly, it satisfies our human sense of justice and just desserts. But there is another possibility regarding Judas that also has persisted down through the centuries. One imagines that this possibility was whispered ear to ear, not trumpeted from pulpits or in encyclicals—but it, too, has survived. There is a famous medieval legend that tells that when Jesus first descended into hell, and "preached to the spirits," as we read in I Peter, Jesus intentionally sought out Judas, in order to forgive him and redeem him. This is how Marty Stortz tells it.
The canonical biblical texts present Judas as a
tragic example of the power of guilt. His deed brought him
censure from his friends, ridicule from the temple hierarchy,
and overwhelming isolation. Alone and miserable, Judas
watched events that he had set in motion now spin out
of his control. He could no longer live with himself.
Crushed by the weight of his crime, Judas hung himself in
a potter's field.
The biblical story ends in suicide, but this legend keeps
the cameras rolling. According to this legend, Jesus
descended into hell after his crucifixion.
There he remembered Judas.
Jesus sought him out among the lost souls in hell
in order to unburden him. Jesus found Judas in order to
re-member—and to forgive.
The point of this legend, of course, has nothing to do with whether or not it is "true"—as if any of us could really know for sure anyway. And the point of the legend isn't about Judas, either: whether or not he was an irredeemable sinner, whether or not his betrayal was a part of God's plan. No, the point of this legend—and why I love it—is what it says about Jesus: what it says about Jesus' life, death and resurrection, what it says about God's relationship with us, and what it says about the meaning of these three days that loom before us. If pushed, here's the real truth I think this legend brings into sharp relief. People ask why Jesus had to die; but the fact is, he didn't. Jesus didn't HAVE to die—he chose to die. Jesus chose the cross and he chose death, because he knew that in no other way could he seek out, find, and rescue Judas, stuck in a hell of his own making. And not only Judas, of course, but me, and you, and all of us—stuck in the hells of our own making.
As we prepare, then, to enter into the great three days, contemplating this profound, unfathomable mystery of our faith—the death of the incarnate God, may the depth of Judas' darkness remain before us; not as something "other" than us, but as something uncomfortably, tragically familiar to each one of us, so that when we reflect on the immeasurable gift of our salvation, the unimaginably deep, vast love that God has for us, we might truly believe that if we can dare to hope for Judas, we can dare to hope for ourselves as well—and for the whole world along with us. Thanks be to God. Amen.
Editor's note: The authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraphs 2280-2283) makes the following points about suicide:
• "Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of."
• "Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God."
• "If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal."
• "Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law."
• "Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide."
• "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives."

According to a new Gallup poll, voters prefer President Obama over Mitt Romney 51 percent to 44 percent when it comes to health care. It was one of the top three issues, along with unemployment and the budget deficit, that a large majority of voters said they cared about. Romney beats Obama 54 to 39 percent on the budget deficit, but the two are tied on unemployment, with voters preferring Obama 48 percent to 47 percent. Eighty-four percent of voters polled by Gallup said health care is an extremely important or very important issue that the country is facing.

Dec 11 2012: Creativity takes time. From my folks I learned the "big" rock "little" rock concept. When you have to fill a bottle put the big rocks in first. For my folks that meant family first and going to Florida in the winter was next. Whatever it took my folks made it to Florida so they could sail in the Florida Keys for three months. Beg, borrow or steal they made it to Florida for almost 30 years---yet even though they lived below the poverty level, they still managed to have a three month vacation every year; I looked after the farm in upstate New York while they sailed in Florida. It was cheaper to live in Florida than New York because they lived off the ocean for most of their dinners---there are a limited number of ways you can prepare lobster :).
For me the "big" rock is creativity. I always carve out as much time as possible to be creative (hence the time to contribute on TED.com on a regular basis.). Using seredipipity in college and after college, I simply go where my interests take me then try to publish in the topics where I have spent years researching them. With no genetic footprint i.e. no children, my ideas are my "children" and my "legacy" is on line.

Dec 22 2012: Jerry, thanks for replying to my comment below. Sorry, that string had run out, so I put my comment here.
That's good, that you don't just stick to math. What is the Rives game?
One way I've found to learn is to call in to talk radio shows. Do you listen to talk radio? They often get great guests, university professors, book authors, heads of organizations. You can learn a lot if you call in and pose a question or make a comment. Plus it's fun to be on the radio.

When your child inherits money
What happens when a relative leaves your child a serious windfall? You'll need to have a series of conversations. Read on to learn more.
What would you do if someone left you a lot of money? It's always a fun question to entertain.
But when there's money left to your kids, it's even harder to know how to handle the situation. Do you tell them that they've received an inheritance -- and if so, at what age? What do you earmark the money for? And how do you convey the message about who it's from, and what it's for?
These are important questions to consider, since inheritances are becoming increasingly common. Researchers at the Boston College Center on Wealth and Philanthropy estimate that the parents of baby boomers will leave as much as $27 trillion to their heirs; baby boomers themselves are expected to leave behind $30 trillion in the next 30 or 40 years, according to Accenture. So, even if your children receiving an inheritance isn't currently on your radar, it could be soon.
For expert advice, we spoke to Mary Claire Allvine, a certified financial planner™ and principal at Brownson, Rehmus & Foxworth, an investment and financial advisory firm, and Bobbi Bierhals, a partner in the private client practice at the law firm McDermott Will & Emery in Chicago.
Here's their advice on how to communicate about a sudden windfall.
First, talk to your partner
Allvine says that one of your first steps should be to talk to your spouse, to make sure you're on the same page.
When children under 18 inherit money, they aren't directly in charge. When the benefactor (your relative who passed away) wrote a will, he or she should have specified who will manage the money for your child. If she didn't, the probate court will name a "property guardian." For example, if your child's grandparents left him money in their will, there's a good chance they named you or your spouse as the guardian over that money.
Depending on the sort of custodianship that's set up, your child will probably gain access to the money when he turns 18 or 21, unless the giver specified otherwise.
So, if you're in charge of the money your child inherited, you have some serious decisions in front of you. Discuss with your partner:
- Is it a priority to save this money for the future, like for college tuition? Or would you rather use this inheritance to give your child a small allowance so he can practice budgeting?
- Who will manage it. Are you confident in your ability to budget and invest the money, or do you need help from a financial adviser?
Then, take care of the logistics
Unless the giver left the money in a trust, Allvine tells us that the best path will probably be to set up a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act account (UGMA, sometimes called a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or UTMA), which puts you in charge until your child is between 18 and 21 (you can choose, but 21 is the oldest). You can do this at a regular bank, investment firm or mutual fund company, and may want to consult a financial planner who can help.
Next, you'll have to consider your time frame. "If the child is 5 and it's for college, then you'll probably invest it" in stocks or mutual funds, says Allvine. Meanwhile, if your child is older and you'll need the money sooner -- for example, if you have a 16-year-old who's gearing up for college -- you'll want to invest your money in something more conservative, like a money market account. As a rule of thumb, if you will need the money back within the next five years, you should keep it somewhere safe, like a money market account or a CD. Don't know where to start? Try our Investing 101.
As your child grows up, think about whether he will be responsible enough to manage a big lump sum when he reaches 18 or 21. If you don't think he'll be ready, consider setting up a trust. That "might cost a few thousand dollars," Bierhals says, "but will probably be worth it" if your child would otherwise squander the cash, or get overwhelmed. If you want to give him a sense of independence without entirely relinquishing the discretion of an adult, you might consider making your child a co-trustee along with you or a trusted relative, Bierhals says.
Allvine notes that a trust can also save your child from unexpected peer pressure: "If you're in college and your friends have tight budgets while you have this big pot of money, it's easy to feel like you should pick up the check all the time or offer to pay a larger share of the rent." Making the money not readily available takes that pressure off, she says.
It's also wise to advise your child to save it rather than spend it until they're old enough to learn the lesson that money needs to be earned. We'll talk more about how to communicate how waiting will help their money grow below.
Now, have that money talk with the kids
Once you've worked out all the details, the next step is to broach the conversation with your children.
When to tell your kids they inherited money? You don't want to destroy their motivation to work hard or succeed, but as The New York Times explores, you don't want to totally blindside them later, particularly if it's a very large sum. A lot will depend on your child's maturity; you might explain the situation to a middle schooler by using broad strokes, whereas you might include a teenager on the specifics of how you budget and invest the money.
Regardless of when you say the words, "You received an inheritance," you can use the whole process as a learning opportunity. As we note in our story on money milestones for kids, you should open a savings account for your child around age 9. This isn't an account for inherited money, but one where she can practice saving -- emphasizing that it's important for her to save on her own, rather than relying on inherited money.
By age 13, you can start introducing your child to the concept of investing. Start by explaining how the stock market works. If you feel comfortable, you can say that you've invested a certain pot of money on your child's behalf. From there, you can talk about why you choose the investments you do, and why it's important to always think long-term when dealing with the stock market.
Set the tone
When you tell your child for the first time that she received an inheritance, "explain that someone worked hard and saved for many years to give this gift to them, and having it is a responsibility," says Allvine. Your goal should be to make sure your child understands the situation … but doesn't take it as a license to slack off. It's up to you to set the tone.
Explain the ground rules
Once you've set the stage, go through the ground rules you decided on with your partner. If you want your child to save up the money for a big future expense like college, explain your rationale. After all, unless there's a trust in place, your kid will eventually have control over the money. You'll want her onboard to ensure she doesn't spend it all irresponsibly the moment she turns 18.
If you'll be using the inheritance money for college, explain how student loans work, and demonstrate that borrowing money means you pay a lot more because of interest. In that context, you can discuss the inheritance as a special gift because it spares your child from taking out college loans -- or at least reduces the amount of the loans. This is also a good time to explain how interest compounds over time, and that her money will likely grow the longer she leaves it alone.
Meanwhile, if you've decided to use the money as an allowance, explain how much you'll hand out and how often. Also make it clear that your kid will need to budget this money; just because she received an inheritance doesn't mean she can blow through her week's allowance and expect there to be more waiting for her.

Tailor the conversation
Play to your child's strengths and weaknesses. Allvine says: "My two kids are opposites, so I would have different talks with them." For instance, she tells us, "My daughter has wanted everything she sees since birth. With her I would emphasize the trade-offs of spending now versus saving for the future." Meanwhile, her son "can't imagine needing anything that doesn't come from the library, so I might actually teach him how spending money can be enjoyable—within reason, of course."
Be prepared for push-back
Bierhals cautions that you will likely receive push-back, especially from teens. For example, your teen might ask, "Why can't I buy a car instead of saving for college?" Bierhals suggests explaining trade-offs: If your child used the money for a car, she might have to borrow tuition money and pay it back for decades.
Although you have the final say over the money while your children are still minors, try to include them in the decision-making as much as you can, so they develop good habits for managing this money in the future. "You can help them weigh spending decisions," Bierhals suggests. "Maybe buying a new BMW would use up the money, but buying a used car would leave enough for other things."
Most of all, aim to make this money productive for your child, rather than an impediment to success. You don't want your kid to become entitled or lazy -- so look at this inheritance as an opportunity to lift a financial burden from your kid in the future, and teach responsible money lessons on the way.

Charlie Sheen: Martin Sheen Will Play My Dad On 'Anger Management'
Charlie Sheen is hoping to add a little family flavor to his new show for FX, "Anger Management," by casting his dad, Martin Sheen.
"Yeah, yeah it's very true," Charlie told Access Hollywood correspondent Jill Martin, confirming his plans to bring his real father in to play his TV father on the show.
"As the show's developed, we're discovering who my family is as I discuss them," Charlie said of his TV character – Charlie, a therapist. "We're going to find out this guy does have major issues with his pop and when that character does finally show up, it will be my dad."
Charlie added of his relationship with Martin, "We're pretty cool."
The actor also fleshed out details about his own new character.
"Charlie Goodson — he is an ex-ballplayer who had his own anger [issues during] his career and so he went back to school to become a therapist," Charlie explained. "But he's a guy that's [has a] bit of a percolation underneath the surface.
"It's such a multi-dimensional character to play," he added.
And taking a turn in the interview, Charlie also offered a message to his fans.
"Just to the fans, I want to thank them for being patient and waiting a whole year," he said. "But they won't be disappointed. We will not let them down."
"Anger Management" premieres June 28 on FX.

A four hour standoff ended with the arrests of four people in Newaygo County.
Police say the suspects were doing donuts in the yard of a home in Garfield Township early Sunday morning.
When the homeowner came out, police say the people in the car fired off at least four rounds. The suspects fled to a nearby home where they refused to come out. Eventually, grandparents of one of the suspects convinced them to surrender.
They all face multiple charges.

The Federal Aviation Administration could soon change its rules on the use of some electronics during takeoff and landing.
This week, a government advisory panel is expected to recommend a change in the rules. Those rules date back to the 1960s, long before Americans became obsessed with computerized gadgets.
CBS Transportation Safety Analyst Mark Rosenker says he fully expects the FAA to lift the ban on computer games, e-book readers, DVD players and many other electronics during takeoff and landing.
"They really only have anecdotal evidence in any way, shape or form that it somewhat interfered with the aircraft performance," said Rosenker. "They could never prove anything like that."
Talking on cell phones would likely remain off limits. Phones have a greater potential for interference, said Rosenker, because they send out strong enough signals to be received at great distance.

Slowly. Quietly. After too long a hiatus. But surely. I am back.
In a great new city that is London. With a exciting new job with a great team. With some new friends (intriguing, instinctive bonding) and many old (rock-solid, comforting). On the wrong side of 29 but still the right side of 30 (tick tock tick tock!). With a lot of changes, some expected, some unexpected. New experiences, both good and bad, some secret and some not. Different taste in alcohol – hardly any vodka, same beer, a lot more wine. A more subtle taste in food. New hobbies – cycling, swimming and a few more things. Different books – less of fiction and more of real life. Mind and heart still tumultuous often times.
With a lot of new dreams on the horizon and yet still chasing some old goals. A mixed bag of change and constancy but in a good way. It feels good to be alive.
I am back!

BOSTON (AP) — The state's top elections official says fewer than one in five registered voters in Massachusetts could cast ballots in the U.S. Senate primaries.
Secretary of State William Galvin said Monday his "best guess" was for about 550,000 voters to take part in Tuesday's Democratic primary between U.S. Reps. Edward Markey and Stephen Lynch, down from the nearly 670,000 who cast Democratic ballots in the 2009 special primary following the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy.
Galvin notes that both Markey and Lynch have strong get-out-the-vote operations that could drive up turnout.
Galvin predicts about 200,000 people will cast votes in the Republican primary between Michael Sullivan, Gabriel Gomez and Daniel Winslow.
The winners of Tuesday's primaries will advance to the June 25 special election to fill the seat formerly held by John Kerry.

Investigators in a Boston suburb are looking into possible links between a suspect in last week's Boston Marathon bombing and an unsolved 2011 triple murder.
Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was pronounced dead early Friday after a shootout with police, was a friend of one of three men found dead in an apartment in Waltham on Sept. 12, 2011, their necks slit and their bodies reportedly covered with marijuana.
Tsarnaev and his murdered friend, Brendan Mess, were both boxers.
Middlesex County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman MaryBeth Long said authorities are checking for any possible connection between Tsarnaev and the murders.
"We continue to follow all leads and will review any new information that may come to light in that case as a result of the investigation of bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev," Long said.
FoxNews.com's Cristina Corbin and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
