Largest of the islands in the Bay of Naples, Ischia (pronounced Iss-kee-ah) rises out of the sea in a cone-shaped series of pointy green hummocks. German, Scandinavian and British tourists flock here in large numbers during peak season, attracted by its charming beach resorts and thermal springs. Although its reputation has always been poorer than Capri's – it is perhaps not so dramatically beautiful – you can at least be sure of being alone in exploring parts of the mountainous interior, and La Mortella, the exotic garden cultivated by the British composer William Walton and his widow Susana, is an unmissable attraction. Indeed, if you're after some beach lounging, good walking and lively nightlife within striking distance of Naples and the rest of the bay, it might be just the place.
The island is fairly large and has some two-dozen towns, villages and hamlets, spread around in a ring, with the cone of the dormant volcano in the centre, and the more reasonable order for a visit is anticlockwise, given the way the towns are clustered.

LOCKPORT – One woman successfully completed her court-supervised drug treatment program this week in Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas' courtroom, but another who failed in the program was sent to jail for a year.
Irene McCormick, 32, of Ferry Avenue, Niagara Falls, had pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree burglary for serving as a lookout during a Jan. 6, 2011, break-in at a home on Creek Road in Porter.
Her charge was reduced to second-degree criminal trespass and she was placed on three years' probation, with time spent in treatment counting toward the probation term.
But Kelly L. Smith, 49, of Ridge Road, Hartland, was jailed after flunking out of the program to which she was admitted in July. She had pleaded guilty to attempted fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling her prescription painkillers twice in Lockport during March 2011.

Is it normal for a child to have fever after vaccination?
My son is always having a fever every time he takes vaccinations. I know that it is important to have vaccinations but I'm worried because I think it's painful for the baby and he always had a fever after. Is it normal for a child to have fever after vaccination?
24th December 2012 11:04 AM #2
Hi Shadelosreyes,
When a child is given a vaccination, the vaccine contains a strain of the disease it is intended to prevent. So, if you give your child a vaccine for measles, they are actually inoculating him with measles and his body has to raise it's temperature in order to fight off the infection.
The purpose of the vaccine is to introduce a small amount of the pathogen into the body so that the body recognizes and "invasion" and fights it off. Once it fights off the disease then there is supposed to be some level of immunity that is developed so that if the child is exposed to it later, the body already has immunity and the child cannot "get" the disease.
However, not every vaccine creates immunity so even if your child is vaccinated, there's no way to tell whether he developed immunity unless you have special blood titers performed.
Sadly, some children have worse reactions than just a low grade fever. Some even become paralyzed or die.
We have an excellent forum area dedicated just to vaccinations. I'd encourage you to check it out because you'll want to weigh the pros and cons of each individual vaccination, and if you choose to continue with vaccinations you'll want to know the best time to do it (never vaccinate a child who has a cold or is sick) and you'll want to be sure that you give individual vaccinations rather than a combination of 2 or more at one time.
There are natural things you can do to boost your son's immunity naturally, too. Be sure to check out the threads in the vaccination forum. You'll find lots of good information there.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
Thank you so much for that. I'll check vaccination forum for further details about this. Thanks again.
27th January 2013 12:13 PM #4
Its a very common side effect and can at times be quite distressing for both child and parent. Its actualy a sign that the body's immune system is recognising a "foreign substance" and is reacting strongly to it - the trade off being that the body develops a memory of it so if in the future the child contracts the disease their system will kick in and fight it very quickly.
Just keep an eye on the childs' temperature after vaccination; if they throw a fever give them infant paracetamol. If you get worried take them to a Dr.
Homeopathy, though usually very oposed to vaccination, do have remedies to lesson the side effects or reactions.

Originates in the US navy, when a lower bunkmate would perform oral sex on the upper bunkmate while the upper bunkmate would sit or lie on the upper bunk. This is an infrequently used definition of the term and, when used, is often reserved for oral sex performed on a male.

Today the middle finger means "FUCK YOU!", but was actually invented in Golden-Age Athens 2500 years ago, not Medieval times. It originated from Ancient Greek comedy called The Clouds by Aristophanes. In this play, the actors mocked a politician by stating that his competitor had a longer dick. They showed this by running around with their middle finger pointing out from their dick area. It was meant to be stupid. It's meaning changed over time, but always was considered insulting.
Girls actually insult themselves when they give people the middle finger, but is also very offensive to men.

Filioque - John Charmley - 11-08-2007
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Clearly one of the big differences between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholics is the position of the latter on the addition of the filioque clause to the Creed.
Yet, if one reads the Fathers, it is not uncommon to see reference to the Procession of the Holy Spirit 'through' the Son and through the Father, and the statement that since everything the Son has He has through the Father, it follows that the Spirit proceeds through both. Clearly there is an important difference embodied in 'through' and 'and'; but in the following list culled from the Fathers, there are some, including St. Cyril, who seem to be using the filioque in the other sense. Can someone put me right here?
"I believe that the Spirit proceeds not otherwise than from the Father through the Son" (Against Praxeas 4:1 [A.D. 216]).
"We believe, however, that there are three persons: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; and we believe none to be unbegotten except the Father. We admit, as more pious and true, that all things were produced through the Word, and that the Holy Spirit is the most excellent and the first in order of all that was produced by the Father through Christ" (Commentaries on John 2:6 [A.D. 229]).
Maximus the Confessor
"By nature the Holy Spirit in his being takes substantially his origin from the Father through the Son who is begotten (Questions to Thalassium 63 [A.D. 254]).
Gregory the Wonderworker
"[There is] one Holy Spirit, having substance from God, and who is manifested through the Son; image of the Son, perfect of the perfect; life, the cause of living; holy fountain; sanctity, the dispenser of sanctification; in whom is manifested God the Father who is above all and in all, and God the Son who is through all. Perfect Trinity, in glory and eternity and sovereignty neither divided nor estranged" (Confession of Faith [A.D. 265]).
Hilary of Poitiers
"Concerning the Holy Spirit . . . it is not necessary to speak of him who must be acknowledged, who is from the Father and the Son, his sources" (The Trinity 2:29 [A.D. 357]).
"In the fact that before times eternal your [the Father?s] only-begotten [Son] was born of you, when we put an end to every ambiguity of words and difficulty of understanding, there remains only this: he was born. So too, even if I do not grasp it in my understanding, I hold fast in my consciousness to the fact that your Holy Spirit is from you through him" (ibid., 12:56).
Didymus the Blind
"As we have understood discussions . . . about the incorporeal natures, so too it is now to be recognized that the Holy Spirit receives from the Son that which he was of his own nature. . . . So too the Son is said to receive from the Father the very things by which he subsists. For neither has the Son anything else except those things given him by the Father, nor has the Holy Spirit any other substance than that given him by the Son" (The Holy Spirit 37 [A.D. 362]).
Epiphanius of Salamis
"The Father always existed and the Son always existed, and the Spirit breathes from the Father and the Son" (The Man Well-Anchored 75 [A.D. 374]).
St. Basil The Great
"Through the Son, who is one, he [the Holy Spirit] is joined to the Father, one who is one, and by himself completes the Blessed Trinity" (The Holy Spirit 18:45 [A.D. 375]).
"[T]he goodness of [the divine] nature, the holiness of [that] nature, and the royal dignity reach from the Father through the only-begotten [Son] to the Holy Spirit. Since we confess the persons in this manner, there is no infringing upon the holy dogma of the monarchy" (ibid., 18:47).
Ambrose of Milan
"Just as the Father is the fount of life, so too, there are many who have stated that the Son is designated as the fount of life. It is said, for example that with you, Almighty God, your Son is the fount of life, that is, the fount of the Holy Spirit. For the Spirit is life, just as the Lord says: ?The words which I have spoken to you are Spirit and life? [John 6:63]" (The Holy Spirit 1:15:152 [A.D. 381]).
"The Holy Spirit, when he proceeds from the Father and the Son, does not separate himself from the Father and does not separate himself from the Son" (ibid., 1:2:120).
St. Gregory of Nyssa
"[The] Father conveys the notion of unoriginate, unbegotten, and Father always; the only-begotten Son is understood along with the Father, coming from him but inseparably joined to him. Through the Son and with the Father, immediately and before any vague and unfounded concept interposes between them, the Holy Spirit is also perceived conjointly" (Against Eunomius 1 [A.D. 382]).
The Athanasian Creed
"[W]e venerate one God in the Trinity, and the Trinity in oneness. . . . The Father was not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. The Son is from the Father alone, not made nor created, but begotten. The Holy Spirit is from the Father and the Son, not made nor created nor begotten, but proceeding" (Athanasian Creed [A.D. 400]).
St. Cyril of Alexandria
"Since the Holy Spirit when he is in us effects our being conformed to God, and he actually proceeds from the Father and Son, it is abundantly clear that he is of the divine essence, in it in essence and proceeding from it" (Treasury of the Holy Trinity, thesis 34 [A.D. 424]).
"[T]he Holy Spirit flows from the Father in the Son" (ibid.).
"Just as the Son says ?All that the Father has is mine? [John 16:15], so shall we find that through the Son it is all also in the Spirit" (Letters 3:4:33 [A.D. 433]).
Whilst I can find plenty of EO discussion of this important theme, I would be interested in any OO comments too.
In Christ,
- John Mark - 15-08-2007
Dear John,
I am Catholic so am perhaps able to suggest what the RCC view would be....(at least that is as far as I understand it, catechesis not being what it was )
Historically one can argue the RCC is far more interested in a (supposedly) organic development of doctrine. Thus how theology came about, in this instance the filioque, is of less importance than that the theology actually is and is taught by the Church. The Lord moves in mysterious ways to create what we hold to be true.
But again this is not exactly hitting the nail on the head and the fact that the Spirit goes through the Son or from the Son could again be from a similar language difference which caused the split between OOs and EOs?
I do hope the above is of some use but the definition in the Catechism of the Catholic Church is:
Quote: 743 From the beginning to the end of time, whenever God sends his Son, he always sends his Spirit: their mission is conjoined and inseparable.
kind regards,
Filioque - John Charmley - 15-08-2007
Dear John Mark,
I am grateful for you response, but feel there is something rather important about the Trinity which is not being grasped - not least by me!
Fr. John Meyendorff sees the Orthodox theology thus:
Quote:Eastern theologians, on the other hand, remained faithful to the old "personalism" of the Greek Fathers. The doctrine of the Filioque appeared to them, consequently, as Semi-Sabellianism (to use the expression of Photius). [Sabellianism is a heresy dating from the second century attributed to a certain Sabellius, who taught that the divine Persons are simply "modes" or "aspects" of a unique God.] Consubstantial with the Father and the Son, because proceeding from the Father, the unique source of the Deity, the Spirit has his own existence and personal function in the inner life of God and the economy of salvation: his task is to bring about the unity of the human race in the Body of Christ, but he also imparts to this unity a personal, and hence diversified, character. It is with a prayer to the Holy Spirit that all the liturgical services of the Orthodox Church begin, and with an invocation of his name that the eucharistic mystery is effected.
As I understand it, the RC version effectively has two Fathers and a version of the Trinity which is semi-Sabellian as stated above.
The Father is defined in relation to the Son and to the Spirit; the Son is generated by the Father, the Spirit Processes from the Father; were the Spirit to Process from the Son too, the economy of the Trinity would be destroyed and the Triad replaced by a Dyad. St. Gregory of Nazianzus offers us the following:
Quote:Not to be procreated, to be procreated, to proceed, characterise the Father, the Son, and He whom we call the Holy Spiritif these are the relationships which allow us to distinguish the three persons of the Trinity.
I'll stop there as I feel the ground vanishing as I enter the deepest of waters - but somehow it seems right that the Trinity should only be adored and beyond my meagre comprehension!
In Christ,

I read a very interesting and stimulating paper on this subject a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting because the author was not trying to say that the filioque doctrine was saying the same as Eastern Fathers, but he was merely trying to examine the various doctrinal positions to see if they were within acceptable boundaries.
It is a serious and detailed academic paper but if anyone has access to the International Journal of Systematic Theology then I heartily recommend it and would be interested in people's opinions.
Here is the bibliographic info and the abstract.
International Journal of Systematic Theology
Volume 5 Issue 1 Page 3-21, March 2003
David Coffey (2003)
The Roman 'Clarification' of the Doctrine of the Filioque
International Journal of Systematic Theology 5 (1), 3?21.
This article offers an exposition of a recent Roman Catholic document on the disputed issue of the Filioque, and of some of the discussion that has followed it. Drawing on the Council of Florence in particular, it is here argued that there is a danger of a watering down of the developed Western trinitarian position encapsulated in the Filioque. A way of holding on to the fullness of that tradition, whilst taking seriously the need for a fuller recognition of the decisive Eastern insight concerning the monarchy of the Father, is offered.
Filioque - John Charmley - 16-08-2007
Dear Peter,
Many thanks for the reference; I shall try to follow it up.
Reading more on this it seems necessary to distinguish between sending the Spirit into the world, on which there is little argument; God sends the Spirit through the Son; but that is not the issue.
As I try to comprehend the incomprehensible, it is to do with the hypostatic relation of the Father, Son and Spirit as the one ousia that is God. The Father creates through the Word in the Holy Spirit, as I read recently; the three persons create together, but each in his own way, which together produces the Creation. St. Basil has it that the Father is the primordial cause, the Son the operative cause, and the Spirit the perfecting cause.
In this view it literally makes no sense to say that the Spirit processes through the Father and the Son, because it does, effectively, make the Spirit a creature, and a creature cannot be of one essence with the Father by whom all things were made.
We can only be sons of God by adoption and Grace - not by ousia.
But, as I say, I grope gingerly here - and am off to read more of St. Gregory Nazianzus in the hope of enlightenment - mindful, always, that the intellect is not the organ through which we encounter the Trinity - but wishing mine was up to more.
In Christ,
filioque - kirk yacoub - 18-08-2007
In "The Orthodox Way" Bishop Kallistos Ware writes:
"One of the main reasons for which the Orthodox Church
rejects the Filioque...is precisely our concern that this
teaching could lead to the depersonalization and the
diminishing of the role of the Holy Spirit."
Bishop Kallistos explains that, although Christ sent, as He promised, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles at Pentecost, the matter is much more complicated because, after all, the Holy Spirit sent us Christ, uniting the Logos with Mary's womb. At Christ's Baptism the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove, then led Christ out into the wilderness.
During the Liturgy it is the Holy Spirit which is evoked to descend upon the bread and wine to transform them into the Body and Blood of our Lord.
When Christ is present, He is present through the Holy Spirit.
We should never forget that the Holy Spirit is one of the Persons of the Trinity and is in no way an inferior being, like an Archangel. Any apparent contradiction in Christ sending the Holy Spirit during Pentecost and the Holy Spirit sending the Logos to Mary's womb is easily resolved by remembering that we worship a Triune God, that the Trinity works in indivisible unison. There is no heirarchy in the Trinity. To say that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son does indeed imply that the Spirit is an inferior agency, something which our Trinitarian faith cannot accept

Filioque - John Charmley - 18-08-2007
Dear Kirk,
Thank you for developing this theme in such a useful way.
From what I am gathering, trying to discuss this with Catholic friends, they seem to think they are simply talking about the how the Spirit is sent - that is through Christ, and they look a bit blank when I start going on about the Economy of the Trinity (mind you, that is probably because of my poor explanations of what I talking about). They deny any semi-Sabellian tendencies; but they would wouldn't they?!
Peter has very kindly let me have a copy of the article he mentioned, and I hope to read that over the next day or so.
In Christ,

Dear John,
My wife is a Roman Catholic and, developing the point you made, she explains that one of the reasons the RC Church say that the Spirit proceeds also from the Son is because, after the Resurrection, Christ breathed upon the Disciples. Again, this is Christ as a transmission belt for the Holy Spirit rather than Him being the originator.
Also, I am told that the Greek word translated as "proceeds" is much more forceful than the English which could be one of the reasons for RC misapprehension in the UK at least. The Greek implies a bursting forth, whereas "proceeds" can be a faint trickle (!)
I have read some interesting comments on the Filioque by the Ecumenical Patriarch and I shall endeavour to translate his words for you.
Kirk Yacoub
Filioque - John Charmley - 20-08-2007
Dear Kirk,
I'm very grateful to you. Yes, it does look as though the RCs are talking about something different some of the time. I am now deeply into St. Gregory Nazianzen, trying to understand what is probably not understandable fully (and may not be at all to me!).
I shall look forward to seeing what the EP said.
In Christ,
filioque - kirk yacoub - 22-08-2007
Dear John,
As I promised, words of the Ecumenical Patriarch regarding the Filioque.
The following is taken from a book called "La verite vous rendra libre", the results of conversations with Patriarch Bartholomew I conducted by Olivier Clement. I have chosen to abridge and paraphrase rather than translate direct.
In the patristic age there were two different approaches to the
mystery of the Holy Trinity, both of which are legitimate. Whereas
the Western approach of viewing the outpouring of God the
Father's love through the Son and the Holy Spirit to us was
somewhat imprecise, the East perceived this divine dynamic more
precisely in terms of what is proper to the Holy Spirit, ie the
Spirit is the breath of the Father, carrying the Word in which the
the Spirit dwells, becoming manifest in the Incarnate Son.
In the Middle Ages the West, imprecisely, identifiied the Latin term
"processio" with the Greek "ekporeusis". In their various attempts
to explain the relationships within the Holy Trinity, both East and
West committed the error of reducing the Trinity to two dualities.
The West: Father-Son, and Father and Son as one essence - Spirit,
forgetting that it is impermissible to divide the Trinity this way, ie
depriving the Spirit of the common essence. The East: Father-Son,
and Father-Spirit, forgetting to consider any relationship between
Spirit and Son until late in the 13th century when Gregory of
Cyprus "rediscovered" Alexandrain theology and wrote of the
eternal manifestation of the Spirit through the Son.
Today we should speak of relationships in the Trinity as being not
only Trinitarian but, more precisely, as Unitrinitarian, a concept
almost incomprehensible to the human mind. In saying that the
Spirit proceeds from the Father it is more exact to say "from the
Father of the Son". If we say that the Spirit proceeds from both
Father and Son, then we must explicitly remember that all three
Persons of the Trinity are of the same essence. We must explain
that the Spirit proceeds "principalitur" from the Father, though it is better
to say "from the Father in the Son."
Well, the Ecumenical Patriarch has thus explained the dynamic nature of the Persons of the Trinity, interacting with each other in a way that rigid intellectual formulas cannot properly explain.

Filioque - John Charmley - 24-08-2007
Dear Kirk,
Again, I am in your debt for a really good source of comment on this.
Do we have a good Oriental Orthodox commentary on this? I am struck, in the light of one or two recent comments, by how often we have resort to EO theologians; are we quite sure we hold what they hold?
How far is this another of those cases where a difference in expressing what is meant got elevated into something more?
As far as I can see no one is arguing that the Spirit does not come from the Father, through the Son; but as you say, the unitrinitarian argument gets close to overloading the mental circuits. Is it necessary for salvation to hold a Ph.D. in Trinitarian theology? If not, how can we as simple believers know that our Church is teaching aright?
I must read read Romanides and Peter's recommended article again.
In Christ,
filioque - kirk yacoub - 25-08-2007
Dear John,
Yes our faith is not reserved exclusively for holders of ph.d's in Theology!
The simplest explanation is that God the Father is the beginning of all things, that before time and the universe began the Son was begotten of the Father, and the Spirit came forth from the Father to give life to all.
In the Trinity there is co-operation and interpenetration in activity, much as sunlight passes through glass without becoming glass (to use an old analogy!) and there is a dynamic in the activity that is beyond our understanding. After all, we believe that God created the universe without having the faintest idea how he did it. (If anyone still holds to the big bang theory, we cannot possibly know how God caused this big bang to create the universe out of nothing!)
Kirk Yacoub
Filioque - John Charmley - 25-08-2007
Dear Kirk,
I'm with you on that!
But there is a worry here. So much depends upon how the Church reads the idea of the Trinity; are we sure that the historic Apostolic Churches read it in the same way? The RC doctrine on the filioque seems to have little to do with the Economy of the Trinity, and so can be read as no different from what the Orthodox hold.
It certainly points up (as though some of us here needed it!) the necessity of having a Church that can read these things aright for us.
In Christ,
- admin - 25-08-2007
Well I have had a busy day, we were planning to make the most of the first sunny day we have had as a family for a long time. After stopping briefly at the local motorway services the car refused to start and there was obviously some sort of electrical problem. Short story ... two and half hours later we were back on the road thanks to the AA, but it has been a long day, but refreshing in the end.
Anyhow...I wonder if we need to read more Roman Catholic consideration of this issue rather than Orthodox of various flavours since in a sense we know what WE believe but if we only read Orthodox Fathers then we are only picking up what Roman Catholics believe by second-hand.
What I like about the demanding paper I recommended earlier is that it does seem to point to a difference in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic positions, but then seeks to reflect on whether that difference is so great and so critical that the two positions cannot be comprehended within the scope of the Orthodox Catholic Faith.
I would like to read other serious Roman Catholic thinkers on the subject who write with the Orthodox in mind. It seems to me that it is necessary to both seek for commonalities with an open and charitable heart while also being willing to consider if there are real and consequential differences, but both always require that we allow the other to speak for themselves.
So can anyone recommend Roman Catholic theological reflection in depth on the Filioque?
As ever

Description of Research ExpertiseThe work in the lab is focused in three areas: elucidating the genetic and metabolic regulatory networks that allow tuberculosis to persist in the human host for years, determination of the molecular basis of serine protease inhibition and mathematical modeling of complex biomolecular systems.
Pathogenesis of dormancy in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
It is widely believed that oxygen limitation, amino acid starvation and carbon source restriction are involved in establishing and maintaining Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a dormant state. Correspondingly, emergence from dormancy is related to a partial or complete amelioration of these conditions. We have identified and are studying three genetic and enzyme systems that comprise regulatory networks in Mtb that may be invovled in Mtb pathogenesis. These are: 1) ribonucleotide reductase systems that carry out the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides--the rate limiting enzymatic step in DNA synthesis, 2) the cytochrome system and, 3) the stringent response system that regulates the expression of a complex network of genes. This work is supported by the NIH.
Biomolecular Computation.
A new area of investigation known as biomolecular computation where complex computational operations are carried out using biomolecules, in particular using DNA. We showed how macromolecules can be manipulated to carry out fundamental logical operations and can be wired together as reversible logic gates. We are currently collaborating with members of the School of Engineering on modeling complex biological behavior using a hybrid systems approach that combines continuous and stochastic modalities. This work is supported by the NSF and DARPA
Enzymology and cell biology of serine proteases and serine protease inhibitors.
Serine proteases and serine protease inhibitors (serpins) play critical roles in a wide variety of biological processes including inflammation, coagulation and growth and development. We have proposed a general model for the mechanism of inhibition of serine proteases by serine protease inhibitors based on site directed mutagenesis, atomic resolution crystal structures and NMR spectroscopic analyses. We are currently exploring the consequences and extensions of this model. This work is supported by the NIH.

Although Spencer Pratt signed divorce documents in his split from Heidi Montag less than two weeks ago, the duo continue to stir up drama.
Pratt says he's shopping a sex tape of Montag with another woman and also writing a relationship tell-all. Plus, the two have been sparring on Twitter.
But Sunday, they were spotted by TMZ.com together in Costa Rica where they are still spending time.
So what gives?
"I had to bring the puppies down and help them move in," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] thought I was going to leave, but I'm not. I didn't want to get divorced … I have nothing in Malibu, I'm homeless, I'm nothing without her."
Montag admits she agreed to have Pratt join her in Costa Rica. "Everything was calm and going smoothly with the divorce," she says. "We were really getting along and it was amazing he was being so thoughtful to help me move. Then things turned."
By things turning, Montag is referring to the supposed deal Pratt is working on with Vivid Entertainment to sell a sex tape. "There is no sex tape that exists and there never was," she says. "Spencer is trying to drum up press. This is exactly why I wanted to divorce him in the first place."
But Pratt insists such a tape does exist. "I told Heidi … if you don't want to do the new reality show with me, then I'll have to release old footage," he says. "I can get $5 million from a sex tape, but I really don't want to do that. It's not the way I want things to be. Heidi is furious with me but I need to look out for myself."
As for the future, "I'm going to leave the hotel and get a house because Spencer won't leave me alone and won't go back to Malibu right now," Montag says. "It's just too hard. I still love him, but I can't stand what he's doing."

It rained most of the day and the hardest, of course, when all five of us sloshed through the Target parking lot. All of us soaked. And water leaked into my shoes. And Gray's.
And I felt the cold rain on my arms and heard the sounds of our rushing and breathed the smell of humid inside the car. Things weren't so out of focus. And I could taste being alive.

NIAGARA FALLS – City lawmakers on Wednesday took the ax to Mayor Paul A. Dyster's proposed budget, making a slew of cuts that would erase a proposed 8 percent tax hike and restore half of the two dozen jobs that were set to be cut from city government.
All but one of the 150 amendments to the budget passed unanimously, and the deepest cuts come from the areas of economic development and planning – specifically the city's funding of the state's economic revitalization arm, USA Niagara Development Corp.
Lawmakers also slashed the salaries of two of Dyster's top department heads and cut funds set aside for the use of outside consultants on city projects, road paving and public safety overtime. The City Council also created its own discretionary account that leaders said could be used for unexpected costs.
"Based on comments from [residents after] the mayor's budget, we just did what they told us to do," said Council Chairman Sam F. Fruscione.
The Council cut roughly $3.1 million in spending from Dyster's proposed $96 million budget, with the greatest amount coming from funds to USA Niagara, which has worked to revitalize the barren downtown development scene for the past decade. Dyster said he would review the amendments before commenting but said he was most concerned about the cuts to the development agency.
"If anything, we've been trying to accelerate economic development downtown," Dyster said. "In order to get results, you have to make investments."
Fruscione questioned the city's return on its yearly investment.
"At this point in time, we're breaking our ties with USA Niagara," Fruscione said. "You want real development? Keep the tax rate at zero percent – you'll get development."
The Council also slashed two jobs in the planning and economic development department – which were funded by revenues from the Seneca Niagara Casino – and decided not to fill the position of the business development director, which has been vacant since January. Fruscione said other members of the department would pick up their responsibilities.
Lawmakers then cut the salary of City Administrator Donna D. Owens by $40,000 and the salary of City Engineer Jeffrey Skurka by $18,000. After the reductions, Owens and Skurka are set to make $70,000 and $77,000, respectively. City officials sought to portray the cuts as political – the two department heads have repeatedly clashed with the Council – while Councilman Glenn A. Choolokian disputed that notion.
"We're looking at productivity, who is was really doing the work for the money, and those two positions really needed to be decreased," said Choolokian, who Fruscione credited with making most of the budget amendments.
The Council held no public budget hearings with department heads, as it had done in prior years. Fruscione said the Council did not have enough time – it had one month instead of two to amend the budget – because Dyster delayed his presentation of the budget by a month.
Dyster is expected to veto many of the cuts and the Council will need four votes to override the vetoes. The budget must be adopted by Dec. 1. The city struggled to balance the budget, leaders said, because of $58 million in unpaid revenues from the Seneca Niagara Casino.

Brandon Wade/Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas � Matt Harrison wanted to stay in the game, pleading his case in the dugout that he felt OK.
The Texas Rangers weren�t taking any chances with the left-hander who keeps winning for them and is in line for a spot on the AL All-Star team that will be led by his own manager.
Harrison worked five scoreless innings and matched the American League lead with his 10th victory in the Rangers� 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night. His outing was cut short only because of tightness in his lower back that caused soreness in his left hip.
�It was no big deal,� Rangers manager Ron Washington said. �He will make his next start. There�s no assumption.�
When Harrison (10-3) got to the dugout after the fifth, he huddled with Washington, pitching coach Mike Maddux and a trainer. He said there was no pain, though he first felt the tightness warming up for the third.
�I ended up telling them what was going on, and they decided to be cautious with it,� Harrison said. �Go ahead and shut it down and make sure I�m ready for my next start and not go out there and blow out anything.�
Harrison has one more scheduled start before the full All-Star rosters, including the manager�s picks, will be announced next Sunday.
�The All-Star game will take care of itself,� said Washington, who then repeated the same sentiment of Harrison that the lefty is only focused on his starts for Texas.
Leonys Martin had his first three RBIs in the majors on a pair of two-out hits. The Cuban defector, who signed with the Rangers last year, had an RBI double in the second and a two-run triple an inning later.
Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers and Mike Adams each pitched a scoreless inning for the Rangers. Joe Nathan, the closer pitching in a non-save situation, gave up his first runs in 17 appearances since May 13 in a strange inning.
Colorado loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth before an RBI single by Marco Scutaro. Carlos Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly, a deep fly that left fielder Josh Hamilton caught in the gap on the warning track.
But Scutaro then got caught in a rundown after a pitch ricocheted away from catcher Mike Napoli. Though Scutaro slid into second base under the tag and was ruled safe, he popped off the base and was tagged out by shortstop Elvis Andrus for the second out. Jason Giambi then ended the game by striking out.
�I saw the umpire signal safe, and he popped up and went back toward first,� Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. �I don�t know why he did that.�
Texas finished a major league-best 14-4 in interleague play, winning all six of its series against National League teams.
Alex White (2-6) lost his third consecutive decision for the Rockies, who were 2-13 against the American League. The righty allowed four runs and six hits on 78 pitches over 2 2/3 innings.
Colorado, which ended its longest road trip of the season 3-6, had runners on in each of its five innings against Harrison. The Rockies also had someone reach against each reliever.
Wilin Rosario had an inning-ending grounder after the Rockies had two singles in the first, then they left the bases loaded in the second when Scutaro grounded out. Harrison benefited from three double plays and faced the minimum nine batters over his last three innings.
Harrison gave up five singles and threw 49 of his 74 pitches for strikes. He struck out three, walked two and hit a batter.
�I didn�t really have my best stuff working (Sunday), but I just kept telling myself with guys on base, you�re one quality pitch away from getting out of it,� Harrison said. �I�m not very happy about being the five-and-dive guy (Sunday), but with that situation I had to come out.�
Harrison was examined by team physician Dr. Keith Meister and will be evaluated further over the next couple of days.
Martin made his third start and played his fourth game this season since getting recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on June 15 when Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton was hospitalized with an intestinal virus.
Martin signed a $15.5 million, five-year contract in May 2011, and played in eight games for the Rangers over the final month of the regular season. He was hitting .344 in 31 games at Round Rock before getting called up this month.
Nelson Cruz had a leadoff walk in the second before No. 9 batter Martin doubled off the right-center field wall. Martin scored on a double by Elvis Andrus, who finished with three hits and walked once.
�I studied the pitcher a lot. The two pitches he left in on me, and I was able to hit it,� Martin said. �The longer I play here, the more I feel comfortable. ... What I did (Sunday) was concentrate.�
The Rockies have gone 17 games since a starting pitcher won a game for them. They are halfway through the first time through the rotation since Tracy�s decision a week ago to go to a four-man rotation.
Jeremy Guthrie, the starter whose unexpected struggles led to Tracy trying four starters, pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of White.

MTV approaches Cavallari, Lauren Conrad and a group of friends to document their lives in the affluent California beach town of Laguna Beach. The show, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, premieres in September 2004 to compete against FOX's teen drama The O.C. "It really was presented to us like a documentary," Conrad tells USA Today.

The Ute Mountain Ute tribe is abuzz with both hope and concern about how to spend a $43 million windfall stemming from a recent court settlement.
Since news broke that the Ute Mountain Utes would receive $42.6 million as a part of a $1 billion settlement with the federal government over the mismanagement of tribal money and trust lands, tribal leaders have held several meetings to discuss different options for the money. Meetings were held this week in Towaoc and Ignacio.
The Ute Mountain Utes are among 41 Native American tribes set to receive cash from the settlement, which was announced April 11.
Chatter about the money quickly fanned out across Twitter and Facebook after the announcement. And tribal members began circulating petitions and proposals outlining how the money should be distributed.
One proposal shared with The Durango Herald offers a three-pronged approach for distributing the money. It suggests splitting a portion of the money equally among tribal members, putting a portion back into the tribal organization and investing the rest.
The tribal council is expected to consider those proposals in the near future.
Frustrations already have arisen because some tribal members expect the money immediately.
Some members need immediate financial assistance, Peter Ortego, chief counsel for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, told Colorado Public Radio in an interview this week.
�There�s a real urgency for some tribal members to receive funds� either in the form of direct payments or immediate services, Ortego said.
Others told The Durango Herald they want the money doled out directly to members because they don�t trust tribal leadership to handle the money wisely.
According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the tribe has about 2,000 enrolled members. A direct disbursement could mean about $21,000 for each member.
The members said the tribe�s leaders have made, and continue to make, bad investments with the tribe�s money. The tribe has repeatedly subsidized and invested in failing businesses, they said.
They fear the new infusion of money could quickly be lost if similar investment strategies are used.
�If we invest this (settlement) money, how can we be sure the investments will be wise when the leaders aren�t making wise investments today?� asked one Ute Mountain Ute member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
But handing out cash is a prospect that also worries some members and tribal leaders.
The money cannot grow for the tribe�s future with that approach, they said. And tribal leaders pointed out there could be unintended consequences.
For instance, it could jeopardize some elderly tribal members� eligibility for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security insurances, they said.
And Ortego said tribal members aren�t the only ones who need cash. The organization also could use an infusion of money for centralized services, programs and government.
�We have to find the right balance,� he said.
The tribal council has the option to decide as a governing body how to handle the money, or it can put the issue to a general vote among members.
Information about whether settlement documents contain stipulations about how the money can be used or when the funds will be disbursed to the affected tribes was not available Friday.
The settlement doesn�t make the Ute Mountain Ute tribe �whole� after losses from the years of federal mismanagement of their land and resources, Ortego said.
And many tribal members are left wondering how things might be different for the tribe today if it had the money years ago when it should have.
Tribal members have long wanted to build a school on their reservation. They also have been unable to improve health care for members.
�Indian Health Services has not always done a very good job of meeting the health care needs of Indians,� Ortego said.
Undoubtedly the money will help the Ute Mountain Ute tribe and its members in some ways, if not many. But Ortego said the settlement only scratches the surface of the tribe�s overall trust and mismanagement issues with the federal government.
It�s a point Tribal Chairman Gary Hayes tried to illustrate as he spoke during the public unveiling of the settlement agreement.
�We still have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us. We have a huge mountain to climb,� Hayes said.

Peregrine falcons nesting in Oak Creek and Pleasant Prairie have produced eggs, and the spring hatch can be viewed online.
We Energies said the falcons have laid eggs inside of nest boxes at the two power plants, and webcams have been set up for people to watch online. Links to the live video feeds from each nest are available at www.we-energies.com.
Spokeswoman Cathy Schulze said that new chicks are also expected to arrive at the company's power plants in Port Washington, Milwaukee, and Marquette, Mich. Those locations have still cameras that send hourly images to the website.
Schulze said nearly 200 peregrine falcons have been hatched at the company's facilities since 1992.
The chicks are expected to hatch in early May.

LOCKPORT – Paul S. Turley of Amherst rejected a plea offer Friday in Niagara County Court and was scheduled for trial Jan. 22 in connection with the alleged molestation of two girls between August 1996 and June 1998. Both of the alleged victims in the North Tonawanda incidents are now in their early 20s.
Turley, 47, of North Bailey Avenue, refused to plead guilty to the most serious count in the indictment, first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, with a maximum 25-year prison sentence. He faces up to 39 years if convicted as charged.
State law defines a course of sexual conduct as a set of at least two sex acts with the same person under age 11 during a period of more than three months. Turley is charged with first- and second-degree courses, as well as first-degree sexual abuse for an alleged incident with one of the girls on Christmas Day 2003. A misdemeanor charge stemming from that incident has been dismissed.
In 2006, the State Legislature abolished the statute of limitations on many sex crimes, and for those in which the five-year felony time limit still applies, the clock doesn't start running until the complainant turns 18.

6 Non-Medical Excuses That Should Qualify You for a Sick Day
Am I being a big baby? I sure I am, but when I'm King these will all be valid excuses. (Also you will be disemboweled for calling me a big baby, you fucking peasant.)
#6. Super Bad Nightmares
It doesn't happen often, but once every five years or so, I dream a member of my family has died. I don't see the incident or even fully understand how it happened. I just get the news, and I get it over and over again. Like twenty times in one night. First, I learn they're dead. Then I forget. And then it happens again. It's like a sick combination of Memento and Groundhog Day. I wake up with an aching jaw from clenching my teeth, and the need to snuggle the not dead family member lasts for hours.
After this nightmare, I then go to work, but I shouldn't. I should write an e-mail like this instead:
Dear Boss,
Sorry to hear your wife is dead. I hope it was painless. Sorry. She's not really dead, but that was pretty upsetting, right? No, seriously, they asked me to write you, it's true, she's totally dead. Not! Anyway, that's what happened to me last night. I don't mean I killed your wife (that was the drug cartel this morning when they sprayed machine gun shots into your living room window - joking!) Anyway, I had that dream where a loved one dies last night. Still shaken up. See you Tuesday.
Boss, you and your now dead wife. (Not really.)
#5. Interrupted Morning Dump
When I was in college I saw this Kids in the Hall skit extolling the virtues of the 20 minute morning dump as one of life's great pleasures. It always struck me as odd, but now that I'm a working man like Kevin McDonald in that skit, I have to say he is right on the money. The early morning dump is a pretty special thing. It gives you time to come up with a game plan. What needs to be done and in what order. Also, if you do it right, it will save you the indignity of the workplace dump in that ugly stall with the painfully thin toilet paper. Most of all, if it's a stressful day, purging yourself thoroughly in the morning will make it literally impossible for you to crap your pants at the office.
But what happens when that morning dump gets interrupted? Maybe you're out of toilet paper. Or you have some, but it's downstairs. Or the phone rings. Or you realize you'll never catch your train at your current rate of discharge. Well, then you've just ruined everything, haven't you? You're gonna be dumping at some stupid time like 10:40, well after your morning shower, and then you'll have that not so fresh feeling for the rest of the day.
Dear Boss,
Today I was like three quarters through a pretty glorious dump when I realized I had the cookies for our company bake sale in the oven. Well, needless to say I had to rush down there so they didn't burn. I washed my hands thoroughly, took them out, and then tried to get back to business, but as I'm sure you know, you just never really get it back. Now I'm all discombobulated and waiting for the rest of it, and I'm sorry, I just can't make it in today. And don't worry about missing the cookies because, come on, you know I didn't really think to wash my hands.
Trust me. You didn't want them anyway.
#4. Losing Hot Water in the Shower
For me, the shower is a special, almost holy place. Not only can a warm shower clean your body, but it can help quell an allergy attack, relieve a sinus headache, and provide a relaxing environment for a good shave. It can also be a sanctuary for that other thing men and women do depending on their shower head setting, and whether there's sufficient soap and imagination. Tis truly a magical place.
But all those things are made possible by hot water. Without that revitalizing steam, the shower becomes cold and upsetting like prison, but without all the male-on-male forced sodomy. (At least in my shower). Instead of emerging clean, refreshed, and brimming with good ideas, you hop out pissed off with soap still clinging to places you like too much to expose to the harsh realities of freezing water. Your hair is a mess (no time or tolerance for conditioner) and the towel mocks you with a thousand pointy fibers that still begrudgingly accept your freezing run-off because, let's face it, it's a towel even if I personify the hell out of it.
Dear Boss,
Shower lost hot water after only about 90 seconds in. Needless to say I didn't get a chance to condition or think about that chick in the ripped fishnets I hooked up with at Madison Square Garden after the Bowie/NIN show back in the 90s. Boiler guy is coming later today. I'll be back tomorrow.
She said Trent put on a better show than Bowie, but I let it slide.

The Ladies in the office dont seem to get the training thing, but none the less they are very thoughtful.
OK Back to Lacrosse. I am starting to get the itch real bad, the other night at WAC practice it started to feel like everything was falling into place. Im hitting the whistle well, reading my wing play, and getting the ball to the right people after winning the face-offs. not to mention my intensity seems to have grown immensely, I actually think some of the younger guys on the WAC team are scared of me. And why not? Im completely mysterious to them. All they know is that I used to coach at WAC, I used to play in the MLL and I am about twice their size, oh and my idea of mental training for the Washington college "x"men it to tell them exactly how much they suck (of course in a constructive yet blunt manor). Either way it feels good to be more like I was in college, INTENSE.
A few weeks back Trey Reeder from the New Jersey organization sent me a few questions about who I am on and off the field, and today they were posted on the "Pride Website". This is when it really hit me…IM BACK. New Jersey always treated me well, even when I was just out of college, because of this I promised Pete Jacobs (the head coach) that I would get into the right kind of shape to help his team to compete(face offs are an area of concern, as they should be).
I think today will end up going in the category of "set back" once my evening is over, since I am going to dinner with the family tonight and lunch was clearly not the kind of meal I would have normally eaten. However, as a whole I am on course, and cannot see any reason why I will not be ready for this season.
In the meantime HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!

Possible Deal on Health Care Reform
Since the Senate passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590), on December 24th, the House and Senate have been trying to work out the differences between the two bills. On January 13th, President Obama and top Congressional Democrats held a marathon negotiating session in an effort to thrash out agreements on health care reform. Those in attendance included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and committee chairmen who have worked on the legislation. As a result, the House and Senate have reached a compromise on the issue of taxing "Cadillac" health plans. Negotiators continue to work out the remaining contentious issues with the legislation.
Democratic leaders hope to reach broad agreement on the health care reform bill by January 15th and send it to the Congressional Budget Office for scoring of the cost of the legislation. While the timing of a final bill is unclear, the President expects to have a final bill signed before the State of the Union in early February.
