One of the most fabled guests on the show in sometime, Anthony the prepubescent 31 year old virgin, returned to the show in studio to discuss the show's new goal of trying to get him to lose his virginity by Valentine's Day. Anthony gave us more incite on the situation he is facing and what exactly he is looking for in a woman. There were a few bits that keep things somewhat open to women, but one detail Anthony was unrelenting on was that he wanted no woman with a "mom bod", whatever that means.
Plus, Kevin, Ally, Dead Eyes, and Useless Weirdo took a quiz to see which member of the show is actually the rudest. It seems that going into the quiz that Useless Weirdo would be the one proven to be the rudest of the four, but is that reflected in the final results? It would seem at first glance that Useless Weirdo was one of the more decent of the four, but the test results don't lie. Or do they? Dead Eyes was the one after all keeping track of everyone's results in the studio, so who's to know if he was tampering or not?
Also on today's podcast:
- Kevin and Ally try to promote themselves at local high schools via a Forced Career Day call
- A few rounds of politically charged game Golden Shower or Golden State Shower?
- Proof that Ally's baby talk to her cats is doing nothing for her beloved pets
- And more!

Italian police are checking the television footage and fingerprints Three men forced came in through a window at the Pius XII Institute in Rome just after midnight. The men reportedly began went through the mother superior's office. Then the nuns woke up and came to see what was going on. The men grabbed the Mother Superior and walked her to her bedroom. She was forced to give them over 5,000 euros from the cash box. The men locked her in her bedroom before escaping through holes cut in the fence at the backyard. They escaped in a car. The nuns were in "a state of shock," according to Il Messaggero, a newspaper. The convent also houses a school and in Castel Gandolfo. The men were described as being between 30 and 40 years old. They spoke with southern accents, perhaps from Campania, where Camorra mafia have a strong presence.

Error while redirecting Apache to tomcat
I am trying to redirect Apache to tomcat through mod_proxy_ajp
i have configured httpd.conf file as follows:
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/CypherLogics/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/CypherLogics/
i am getting the login page of webapplication ,but after entering credentials ,it shows following error:
HTTP Status 404 - /CypherLogics/CypherLogics/SiteChannelsServlet;jsessionid=462661AE4622E731CF8 47D8CB90A4C13
type Status report
message /CypherLogics/CypherLogics/SiteChannelsServlet;jsessionid=462661AE4622E731CF8 47D8CB90A4C13
description The requested resource is not available.
The application works fine on tomcat.
I have checked log file in Apache it gives following error:
[client 192.168.1.36] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
[Tue Mar 12 00:57:13 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

[Tue Mar 12 01:00:06 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
I have tried many things ,read a lot tutorials but couldn't find the solution.
Thank you..

1) I think the SIGTERM message is misleading, particularly if Apache is still running without you shutting it down.
2) It looks like the application directory tomcat is forwarding you to after login is configured to insert "CypherLogics/" in the path. You might check your Tomcat configuration. Of course, maybe removing the trailing / in your apache "proxypass..." statements would work. Its been awhile, but I vaguely remember having some issues based on the path received by apache in the client request and the path called by apache during the proxy event.
3) To expand on the above, you might setup two proxy contexts. One that passes to ...servername:8009/ (root) for client requests from /, and another that passes to ...servername:8009/CypherLogics/ if the client requests from the path CypherLogics/.

2.I removed the / at the end but it too didn't work.
3.I tried redirecting another webapp using same method ,it also has login,but it works fine.
4.The difference i found out is that while redirect CypherLogics webapp,i am getting following url:
//cypherlogics.com/CypherLogics/SiteChannelsServlet;jsessionid=462661AE4622E731CF8[/url] 47D8CB90A4C13
And on redirecting other app
//cypherlogics.com:8080/otherapp/SiteChannelsServlet;jsessionid=462661AE4622E731CF8[/url] 47D8CB90A4C13
The CypherLogics not connecting to 8080 port on redirecting.
Please let me which is the best way to redirect apache to tomcat, i mean the best other alternative for redirecting.

Sensory bins are always fun for kids, from infants to preschool and beyond, and here we can't get enough of them. After seeing how much fun (and learning) MB and the daycare girls had with our letter hunt water bead bin, I made up this sensory bin for them to explore and practice some more letter matching. The best part? We also made it glow in the dark!! Don't have a black light? No problem! The girls have used this repeatedly in the natural light and enjoy it just the same.
I'm excited to share this sensory bin as part of the amazing 40 Days of Sensory Bin Fillers Series created by Little Bins for Little Hands! There's 40 bloggers coming together to bring you an epic list of sensory play activities & filler ideas! Pop over to see them all (one is posted daily March 1st through April 9th!) or follow the series on Pinterest!
Preschool Letter Recognition Sensory Bin with PolyFil Pellets
Post contains affiliate links for your convenience, see below or our disclosure for more
This sensory bin contains polyfil pellets and DIY letters I made from neon glue based from these invisible letters over at I Can Teach My Child. I know it sounds a bit time consuming to make the letters (or numbers which we also used) from hot glue but let me tell you it was very simple to do!
Materials needed to Make the Letters:
- Neon Colored Hot Glue Sticks (I got ours at Wal-Mart)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Pan/cookie sheet
As soon as our hot glue gun was warmed up and ready to go I used the colored glue sticks to create the letters. I made the letters that we wanted by simply writing them out in glue on our crafting pie pan (we use this one specially for crafting, like making our Melted Bead Suncatchers). They are much easier than you'd expect, just a quick squeeze of glue in the letter you want and presto!
If you don't have a pan handy you can use wax paper to put yours on but I've made these in the past with wax paper and had a bit of and issue with them sticking to wax paper, they slide right off the pans but wax paper (and tin foil) took a bit of peeling.
Once they cooled (a matter of minutes) I pulled and excess glue 'strings' off them and tossed them into a container with our Polyfil pellets and some tweezers/tongs.
A bit later we brought out the black light and had some glow in the dark letter matching fun! The neon colored glue works perfect with the black light for glow in the dark letters! My soon-to-be preschool aged girls loved this! You can find more of our black light activities here if you want more black light activities too.
Now if you don't have a black light don't worry about it! Even if it's not glowing this is a fun activity and the girls played with this for quite awhile in minus the black light.
My girls are just starting to work on letter recognition but this activity will get definitely lots of use as we add more and more letters to their list!
Have you used Polyfil Pellets (also called poly-pellets or plastic pellets) before? Link up your activities below!

Blackburn Commends DoD Decision To Permit Mental Health Counseling
Service Members Can Now Seek Care Without Risking Their Security Clearance
Congressman Marsha Blackburn (TN-07) today commended Secretary of Defense Robert Gates for taking action to remove the risk service members perceive when they pursue mental health counseling. Congressman Blackburn was notified by Secretary Gates' office today of his intent to amend the mental health related section on the standard questionnaire all DoD employees submit when applying for a security clearance. Known as "Question 21" the amended mental health care question will appear on the new clearance form this summer or early fall.
"Seeking mental health counseling when you need it is not a sign of weakness and should not jeopardize the careers of military personnel who recognize that they may need some help. The old security clearance questions were a hold over from an era when mental health, and the toll that combat can have on a soldier, were less understood. I applaud Secretary Gates for his initiative to tear down the artificial barrier between soldiers and the help they may need."

Conference on 'slave trade of the 21st century'
The role of Catholic organisations in the struggle to eliminate human trafficking and to assist the victims of this crime was underlined by Caritas Internationalis delegate Sebastian Dechamps, at a seminar on human trafficking organised by the United States Embassies to Italy and the Holy See in the Vatican last Thursday. "Why is the Church concerned about human trafficking? Because it offers preferential help to victims, the poorest of the poor" said Dechamps. The representative of Caritas Internationalis said human trafficking is a global phenomenon which challenges everyone. Therefore the Catholic Church cannot fail to be involved in tackling the problem. "From Africa to Asia, from Europe to America, there are no countries immune from human trafficking" he said, underlining however that "wherever this crime is present, the Church with its charitable organisations is in front line to bring assistance to the victims and denounce the traffickers". Dechamps also said that speaking of human trafficking many think only of sexual abuse on women. But the phenomenon is much broader and also includes child labour for example. The participants at the meeting agreed it was necessary to establish operative networks among different social bodies, public and private, police, judiciary, unions, church and religious movements, NGOs to deal the problem and its many dimensions: social, legal, sanitary, psychological, etc. In this context Caritas intends to be close to victims, offering material and spiritual assistance. "I meet many young women forced into prostitution by ruthless traffickers and I am often struck by their profound spirituality, particularly the young girls from Africa" said Consolata missionary Sr Eugenia Bonetti, who has worked for year to get women and girls off the streets . "Sadly traffickers exploit ancestral beliefs such as voodoo to dominate them psychologically". The meeting was closed by Ambassador John Miller, Director of the US State Department for control of human trafficking and counsellor in this field US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said human trafficking is the slave trade of the 21st century.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The City Planning Commission has given the go-ahead to a plan to build a rental development on the shores of the highly polluted Gowanus Canal, according to published reports.
The plan was approved with the stipulation that the developer must design the 700-unit project with protections in place for flooding from future Superstorm Sandy-like events, according to a New York Post report.
The Manhattan-based Lightstone Group will break ground later this year on the development along Bond, Carroll and Second streets, and the developers are pushing the housing back to separate the closest planned building from the canal, the newspaper reported.

Police arrested 11 suspected Islamist militants including an adherent of Bangla Bhai's Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) and two Rajshahi University (RU) students from their training camp in Paba upazila on Tuesday.
Tipped off, a joint team of Paba and Rajshahi police raided a newly-constructed house at Puthiapara in the upazila, 15 kilometers off Rajshahi, in the early hours and nabbed the militants from the makeshift training centre.
Bangladesh government banned JMJB and Jamatul Mujahedin Islamist militant groups in February.

The original idea for the 'Gospel Coalition' came about during a meeting at a New York cafe in 2001 between the co-founders, Don Carson and Tim Keller. In 2005 the pair started a Pastors' Colloquium, which formed the basis of TGC. This colloquium produced foundational documents—doctrinal confessions and a theological vision for ministry—which remains the banner over all TGC does. The organization was officially created in 2007. Their vision is simple: 'A biblically grounded and united mission is the only enduring future for the church. We desire to champion the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with clarity, compassion, courage and joy – gladly linking hearts with fellow believers across denominational, ethnic and class lines. We invite all Christians to join us in an effort to renew the contemporary church in the ancient gospel of Christ so that we truly speak and live for him in a way which clearly communicates to our age.' Also in 2007, the TGC website was set up to provide resources on gospel-centered ministry. Since 2009, 35 million people have visited the TGC website 92 million times and have viewed more than 168 million pages. The site currently contains over 80,000 audio, video, and text resources.
During 2014, a series of conversations began on the advantages of starting a similar movement here in Australia. Many, many Christians across Australia have found (and will continue to find) real benefit and encouragement from the TGC website – however, there are significantly different cultural and theological challenges to life and ministry in Australia. In addition, a growing consensus was emerging that we urgently need to form and foster vibrant gospel partnerships on the ground across our cities, States and Territories. And so last August, a group of 13 pastors and leaders from across our Nation met in Sydney for the first time. In February, a follow-up meeting took place in Melbourne, and the Council of TGC Australia was formed, with Gary Millar appointed as the first Chair, and CS Tang and Peter Adam appointed to the Executive. A Constitution for the new organization was also agreed.
The most 'Frequently Asked Question' about TGC Australia so far has been 'Are you just a branch of the US version?' The short answer to that is 'no'. TGC Australia is a completely separate entity from TGC, although one which very happily shares the same 'theological DNA' as expressed in the Foundation Documents. The need for an authentically Australian TGC was recognized from the beginning on both sides of the Pacific. As Don Carson has explained, when it comes to TGC's international vision, "We've been clear from the beginning that we don't want [overseas groups] to be American-controlled." Tim Keller adds that it's vital for such TGC-inspired partnerships to be and remain indigenous. Both Carson and Keller have been hugely helpful as we have sought to establish TGC Australia, and Ben Peays, the Executive Director of TGC and the website editorial staff, have been unsparingly generous with their time and energy. However, TGC Australia is and will remain an entirely Australian entity.
Whilst there will be several ways in which the role of TGC Australia will parallel that of the original TGC, there will also be key differences. As in the US, we see our website as a key part of our ministry. Thanks to the generosity of the TGC website team, the TGC Australia site will be live from mid-April.
However, given the very different cultural and theological context here, we are also completely committed to a 'ground up approach' to encouraging gospel ministry - we do not want to set up yet another Christian organization to compete with existing churches, ministries, or organizations. We are not a church or a denomination and (apart from the Council-members) we will not be asking individuals or congregations to enter into any relationship of formal membership with us. We do want to enable and support an increase in mutual recognition, mutual information-sharing, mutual prayer, and mutual support among our many churches, colleges, ministries, and organizations. We are sure this will enrich all our ministries, enable gospel fellowship across Australia, and allow each of us to contribute our special gifts to a common goal. This is why we are holding a National Leaders' Consultation in Brisbane in July. We have invited leaders from a wide range of ministries, and we are committed to listening to them as we seek to build and encourage gospel partnerships in Australia. There will be input from Don Carson, Peter Jensen, and TGC Australia Council members. During this Consultation we will celebrate the national launch of TGC Australia at the iconic Brisbane City Hall.
This ethos is reflected in the following affirmations, adopted by the TGC Australia Council earlier this year:

House Democrats voted to pass PORKULUS (Obama's "Stimulus Package") but didn't get around to reading the legislation, nor did they get around to publishing the proposed legislation with any reasonable lead such that the public could even look at it in the form in which it was passed. It was the "we voted for it but we don't know what it says" ruse by Democrats, in compliance with political demands, irregardless of facts, numbers, public opinion, common sense, you name it, the Democrats have abandoned all reason.
In the Senate, Democrats are in the process of huddling-to-gobble it down, too. With the assistance of three troubled Republicans (Senators Snowe and Collins from Maine, who appear to have been compromised ethically, and Arlen Specter from Philadelphia, who appears to be mentally incompetent), PORKULUS is anticipated to pass.
PORKULUS is set to cost the "average American household" "$2,900." a year. (NOTE: Update, it's now "$3,279.75" as average annual cost to average family). For that
$2,900. $3,279.75, the average American household can anticipate getting an average of $13.00 a week more in their paycheck but only until January 2010, at which time it'll be $8.00 on average but the costs to the average family will go up (from $3,279.75 costs to families to something higher). The equation is certainly not balanced and there's no "net gain" or even any advantage.
Which is a deal that anyone with any sense would quickly walk away from and not look back. That is, unless you're a Democrat in Congress, the White House or among the Democrat-endorsing lobbyists who anticipate getting a big slice of pork pie after today.
Which everyone else will pay for. And their children will pay for when we're gone, and their children will.
Never have so few done so terribly upon so many others as today: the Democrats.
I thank each and every single Republican in Congress who has refused to vote for PORKULUS. The question is now, how do we undo PORKULUS and how soon can we accomplish that?

Irvine police searching for ID in attempted kidnapping case – Orange County Register
IRVINE — Police are attempting to identify a man wanted in connection with an alleged attempted kidnapping on Saturday at the Woodbury Town Center.
Just before 7:20 p.m., a woman was working alone at the Mon Beau Bebe store at 6226 Irvine Blvd. when a man entered the business, police said in a press release.
When the woman looked away, the man grabbed her by the hair and attempted to drag her into a storage room, police said.
The woman tried to fight off her attacker and told him there were video cameras in the store, police said. The man released her and ran out of the store and through the shopping center. The attack was captured on video surveillance.
The man is described as being in his 40s and of medium height and build. He was last seen wearing plaid shorts, a white short-sleeve shirt, tennis shoes and eyeglasses.
Anyone who recognizes the man or has information on this…

'American Idol' hopeful Danelle Hayes has dreams dashed by bad behavior — UPDATED
Posted by Cheri Robertson
You probably noticed something, well someone, missing from this week's Hollywood round of "American Idol." Our own local hopeful, Danelle Hayes earned a golden ticket, but didn't actually make it to Hollywood. The teary Kirkland girl stole our hearts with her audition in Denver, but just a couple of days before she was set to fly south, the producers pulled the plug on her Idol dreams.
My friend David Rose at Q13 FOX News sat down with Danelle Wednesd to chat about the abrupt end to her Idol path and where her singing career is headed now. It looks like brushes with the law ultimately closed the gates to "American Idol" stardom. At least for now. Here's a snippet of the interview:
Hayes sure comes across as a likable troublemaker who is trying to clean up her act. She has a misdemeanor criminal history dating back to 2004 and indirectly, that's what led to her golden ticket being revoked. Danelle says she has a seven year deferred prosecution for drunk driving. That means she's on probation for a looooooong time. Apparently the Idol folks weren't willing to get clearance from Danelle's probation officer every time she needs to leave the state, so they opted to give her the boot instead. She was encouraged to audition again, so hopefully, she'll get another crack at Hollywood.
Listen to Danelle sing at the Edgewater Hotel:

Arrival in Tokyo - step one in a 3-week trip
Tokyo Travel Blog› entry 1 of 3 › view all entries
First visit to Tokyo, and since I'm not really the 'adventure' traveller type, I always have a little anxiety at the start. No need to worry, of course, as one of the side-benefits of working for Four Seasons Hotels is that we get to use the terrific arrival services the hotels offer. In this case, a greeting at the airport once through immigration. A very helpful escort through to the ATM (essential to get your money in advance, or in the airport, as once you're in the city finding an ATM is easy, but finding one that accepts Western cards is not!) and then on to the train platform, where they put you on the right train, and then call through so there's someone at your exit door to pick you up and take you through to the hote.
We stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, which is walking distance from Tokyo Station. It's a beautiful, small hotel best suited to business and also a nice place to base a leisure stay thanks to its ideal access to the train station. Trains are how you should experience Tokyo. While the hotel overlooks the station and tracks, it has the most exceptional soundproofing I've ever experienced.

It's a staple of many Thanksgiving meals across the country, and over the past several years it's also become a tradition at Minot's Parker Senior Center. Stuffing is the featured item in an annual taste-tested competition at the center. The KX stuffing team was the reigning champion, and once again included photojournalist, Gaylen Ness, and reporter, Dan Erdmann. Gaylen's original "Seafood Stuffing" had some stiff competition from KMOT – TV, Clearchannel Radio, and the Minot Daily News. Ruby Rau is the Office and Social Services Manager for Minot's Salvation Army, which sponsors the event. She says the stuffing will serve a good cause- to feed over 400 people at tomorrow's Salvation Army Thanksgiving Meal. (Ruby Rau, Salvation Army) "There are families out there that aren't able to provide a meal for themselves and this is a place where they can get together and have a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Also, there's a lot of elderly people that are alone and their relatives and family members are not around, so they also come down here to be with a group to have dinner with others." The Salvation Army's Thanksgiving Meal will begin tomorrow at 11:30 am and run until 1 pm at the Parker Senior Center in Minot. It's open to the public and deliveries are available as well. And in case you were wondering, Gaylen and Dan's stuffing once again took first place.

text: Hey guys, I've currently got some wifi issues that I believe are firmware related, I've currently got 17.1.1.A.0.402 but would like to revert back to 17.1.A.2.36 ideally without having to factory reset my phone, I'm also not sure it would go back to 17.1.A.2.36 even if I reset it, I didn't note what firmware it had before I upgraded the firmware so it might take it back to an even earlier version ideally I just want to step back one firmware update but I'm not sure if this is possible? I noticed there's an option on PC companion to reinstall all the updates again although I don't know if you can choose which updates to install or whether it'd just install all the updates so far including 17.1.1.A.0.402 which would be no good. It also said I would lose all my phone data which is not ideal. I was considering rooting my phone and getting an older firmware installed then but tbh I don't really have a lot of knowledge on the subject and I'm not sure if that's even possible. If anyone could help help me out that would be great, even if it's to conform that factory resetting is the only option as ideally I don't want to lose all my data

Wow!! Restored my faith in humanity a little bit. I've actually had this happen to me. I was spending the last of my paycheck on groceries at the discount grocery store and didn't have enough money so I put back some milk, juice and bread. This lady chased me down as I was getting in my car and brought me what I couldn't pay for plus a couple other boxed dinner items. I started crying so hard and I hugged her.

Has Andre Villas Boas's Napoli masterplan been rumbled?
Napoli's ruthless counter-attacks have started already. Gazzetta dello Sport this afternoon claim to have been handed a provisional team-sheet filched by the Italian side's fans from Chelsea's team hotel ahead of this evening's Champions League round-of-16 tie, showing John Terry starting alongside Gary Cahill in central defence and Daniel Sturridge, rather than Didier Drogba, leading the line.
Seemingly written on a page of a 1970s Maths exercise book, the note seemingly shows Chelsea preparing to line up in manager Andre Villas-Boas's preferred 4-1-2-3 formation, with "Ash" Cole at left-back, "JT" and Cahill in the centre of defence and Branislav Ivanovic at right back.
Michael Essien, Raul Meireles and "Lamps" start in midfield, with Ramires and Juan Mata either side of "Studge" in the forward line.

Where is Manhattan's Largest Green Roof?
September 22nd, 2009, 4:29 pm
This was a question tour leader Matt Postal asked about half-way through last Saturday's Sustainable Design in Midtown walking tour. We were standing at the S.E. corner of 42nd St. and Sixth Ave., looking at skyscrapers in three directions, but the green roof was behind us — Bryant Park. In the early 1990s, 86 miles of underground book stacks were constructed behind the New York Public Library and underneath the park which was itself being redesigned and reconstructed.
The rest of the stops on the tour were more expected. We began at The New York Times Building, which has a number of sustainable features, but didn't try for LEED certification. (LEED is a green building certification process, which is time-consuming and can be costly.) The owners of The Times contend that they didn't want to pay $100,000 for the honor. For other buildings, LEED status can be advantageous as proof of their commitment to sustainability.
Among those is the Bank of America Tower which has received considerable attention as the first skyscraper designed to earn LEED Platinum certification. It features a gray water system, carbon dioxide detectors to determine when more ventilation is needed, concrete made with slag (a by-product of blast furnaces), and a cooling system that makes and stores ice during off-peak hours.
Our heads were filled with high-tech wonders as we arrived at our last stop, only to have a revolving door malfunction and trap a tour participant inside. (The irony did not escape us). Once the tour taker was freed, Joseph Lauro LEED AP led us through the offices of Gensler architects, which demonstrate the firm's ability to design attractive interiors out of sustainable materials. At Gensler, clients choose the level of sustainability they want their project to achieve, but all benefit from the fact that Gensler has incorporated environmentally-sound practices in to the way it does business every day, from waste stream management to "green" wall paint.
As usual, Matt Postal raised questions more often than he offered opinions, leaving each tour taker to his or her own assessment of the state of sustainable building today — and eager to see more.

The Rev. Franklin Graham is calling on Americans to join him on Facebook Live at the opening of both the Republican and Democrat conventions to pray for the United States.
He asked on his Facebook page on Friday, "Will you join me on Facebook LIVE at the opening of both conventions and we will pray together at this pivotal time in our nation's history?"
"The Republican National Convention begins on Monday, July 18 and the Democratic National Convention on Monday, July 25. Stay tuned for Facebook LIVE times. Be a part of this – and share with others so they will join us."

"You have to make that choice," he added later. "Now, you might have to hold your nose."
The evangelist stated that he did not come to Washington to tell people how to vote, trusting, "You can figure that out."

Emerald, Perfect For Taurus…
An Earth sign that lives very much in the material realm, things are important to Taurus, and an expression of this trait for this Venus ruled sign is most certainly beautiful jewellery.
Steady and sensual, the Taurus girl is feminine and wants practicality in all areas, including her wardrobe.
Jewellery should be flashy – she prefers things to look a little expensive and will team trend-led items with classic, high-end pieces.
Remember, flowers are your friend…
Veering towards subtle styles, your Taurus friend can go delicate or bold, and, as the zodiac sign associated with the neck Taurus can go to town with statement necklaces…

October 21, 2009
The Wolverine state is once again set to run out of money, and it is once again poised to raise taxes even as jobs and businesses disappear, says the Wall Street Journal.
- In 2007 Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) signed the biggest tax increase in Michigan history; most of the $1.4 billion coming from business.
- The personal income tax -- which hits non-incorporated small businesses -- was raised to 4.2 percent from 3.95 percent, and the Michigan business tax levied a surcharge of 22 percent.
The tax money was dedicated to the likes of education, public works, job retraining and corporate subsidies:
- While every state has seen a big jump in joblessness since 2007, Michigan's jobs picture remains by far the worst, with a 15.2 percent unemployment rate.
- Some 750,000 private-sector payroll jobs have vanished since the start of the decade.
- For every family that has moved into Michigan since 2007, two have sold their homes and left.
The new business taxes didn't balance the budget:
- Instead, thanks to business closures and relocations, tax receipts are running nearly $1 billion below projections and the deficit has climbed back to $2.8 billion; and this is despite the flood of federal stimulus and auto bailout cash over the last year.
- Despite the budget-balancing misadventures of the past year, the governor wants $600 million and among the ideas to raise the money are: an income tax increase with a higher top rate, a sales tax on services, a freeze on the personal income tax exemption (which would be a stealth inflation tax on all Michigan families), a 3 percent surtax on doctors, and fees on bottled water and cigarettes.
The governor and the House speaker Andy Dillon continue to bow to public-sector unions:
- There are now 637,000 public employees in Michigan compared to fewer than 500,000 workers left in manufacturing.
- Government is the largest employer in the state, but the number of taxpayers to support these government workers is shrinking.
- The budget deadline is November 1 and Granholm is holding out for tax increases rather than paring back state government.
The decline in auto sales has hurt Michigan more than other states, but the state's economy would have been better equipped to cope without Granholm's policy mix of higher taxes in order to spend more money on favored political and corporate interests. If any larger good can come of the experience, it is that Michigan is teaching other states how not to govern, says the Journal.

The longest-running ABC daytime soap opera, General Hospital, began in 1963, when soap operas were targeted to women who did not work out of the home. Back then, plots centered around romance, unrequited love and intrigue.

The main characters were part of the hospital's seventh floor: Dr. Steve Hardy (John Beradino), Chief of Internal Medicine, and his nurse, Jessie Brewer (Emily McLaughlin).

As the series progressed, events took place out of the hospital, and younger characters were brought in to appeal to a wider audience.

Toward the late '70s, General Hospital plots entered the realm of adventure with Luke and Laura (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis), which would change the face of soap operas forever.

Today, with a record for the most Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, General Hospital deals with social issues such as AIDS, breast cancer and single mothers; plot lines involve the mob rulers of Port Charles, led by Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

General Hospital continues to target new audiences while remembering their viewers from the past by bringing back "legacy" characters. The landscape of soap operas is ever-changing. General Hospital continues to adjust to the times - but never forgets its roots.

Early Days: Less than a Legend

It all began on April 1, 1963. Husband and wife writers Frank and Doris Hursley created the half-hour show, which debuted on the same day that NBC premiered their medical soap, The Doctors.

In 1976, GH was expanded to 45 minutes, and in 1978, to a full hour. The program began with the shot of an ambulance rushing up the driveway of a large, white hospital to the accompaniment of music that suggested a siren.

People perhaps think that General Hospital was always set in Port Charles, New York, but in fact, it was set in a decent-sized city on the East coast. In the 1970s, that city was given a name, Port Charles.

Later, "Port Charles" began to sound and look suspiciously like Rochester, New York. It had the same area code; when Luke and Laura returned to Port Charles in the '90s, they filmed their outdoor scenes (including jumping from a helicopter and driving a pink Cadillac down Main Street) in Rochester. Both Port Charles and Rochester are towns with vast waterfronts.

Steve Hardy worked side-by-side with Nurse Jessie. Jessie was married to a younger, unreliable philanderer, Phil Brewer (Roy Thinnes and Martin West). One memorable story arc centered around Phil's murder in 1974.

When nurse Lucille's sister Audrey came to town, the sparks between Audrey (Rachel Ames) and Steve flew. They married - three times.

There was always an implied "something" between Steve and Jessie, but it was not to be. Steve, Audrey and Jessie were the backbone of General Hospital. Rachel Ames is still Audrey, the grandmother of a modern character, Elizabeth Webber (Rebbeca Herbst);

Emily McLaughlin played Jessie until her death in 1991, and John Bernadino was Steve Hardy until his death in 1996.

Lesley, David Hamilton, Laura, and the threat of cancellation: The Dismal '70s

By the late 1970s, General Hospital was suffering from dismal ratings. In 1976, in a controversial move, ABC head Fred Silverman changed the show's format from 45 minutes to an hour, a bizarre thing to do to a flop show!

It had been a tumultuous decade for the soap. In 1971, the show was ranked the #1 soap opera, ahead of As the World Turns, when Audrey (Rachel Ames) allegedly murdered her son's babysitter. Soon, however, General Hospital was huffing and puffing behind the popular soap The Doctors.

Writers began to lean heavily on the strong acting talent of Denise Alexander, who played Dr. Lesley Webber. Her daughter Laura (Stacey Baldwin, followed by Genie Francis) was introduced.

Laura, at 16, became the lover of David Hamilton, a man who had pursued the married Lesley and been rejected. Realizing that his only motive in being with her was revenge on her mother, Laura killed him.

This was a successful story line that resulted in the character of Laura becoming a major force on the show. In her next story arc, Laura fell in love with Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner), which later led to the love triangle of Laura, Scott and Bobbie Spencer (Jackie Zeman)

Despite these bumps in popularity, by 1978, General Hospital was on death row and in need of a pardon. That pardon arrived in the form of dynamo Gloria Monty, a director from The Secret Storm. She teamed with writers Douglas Marland and Pat Falken Smith, and little did any of them realize that General Hospital would soon make soap opera history.

Luke and Laura: The Golden Era

NBC President Fred Silverman gave Gloria Monty thirteen weeks to bring General Hospital up to par before giving it the ax.

Monty decided to attract a younger audience by focusing on younger characters. She moved away from the hospital setting and moved toward more action/adventure and mystery, at the same time updating the sets and stepping up the pace, so that there were more scenes.

Impressed with edgy, offbeat actor Anthony Geary from her previous series, Bright Promise, Monty brought him on to play Luke Spencer, a man involved with the mob organization of Frank Smith (George Gaynes) and currently in charge of The Campus Disco, where Laura Spencer Baldwin had a job. Thus began the love triangle of Luke, Laura and Scott.

With Luke and Laura, Monty invented the soap opera supercouple, still in existence today. Their "Love on the Run" adventure helped propel General Hospital to the #1-ranked soap opera, and their 1981 wedding was viewed by approximately 30 million viewers.

Other supercouples followed: Robert and Holly (Tristan Rogers and Emma Samms), Frisco and Felicia (Jack Wagner and Kristina Wagner), Duke and Anna (Ian Buchanan and Finola Hughes), and Stone and Robin (Michael Sutton and Kimberly McCullough). Luke and Laura made the cover of both Newsweek and People Magazine (with Elizabeth Taylor, who played their nemesis, Helena Cassadine), honors never before bestowed on a soap opera.

A Trip to the Moon in 1892
The audiences at Carnegie Hall in 1892 had a unique experience. They were taken on a trip to the moon. It was all done through special effects, of course. But since this was several years before the Lumiere brothers screened the first motion pictures, the effects all had to be done live, on stage.

Words from visitors to the area: " The Cambrian Mountains is absolutely stunning" It is 1 in 10 of the best drives in the World". The silence here is Golden, need we say anymore".
Rolling hills, rugged wild mountains, vast forests, gentle valleys with streams, rivers and waterfalls help form part of the landscape around Llanwrtyd Wells (pronounced Clun-oo-tid). Llanwrtyd was originally translated from Welsh as "bridge over the ford" but later known as "Church on its own". There is so much to do and see in and around the Llanwrtyd Wells area at all times of the year such as visiting, National Trust Country Houses & Gardens, Old Chapels, ruined Castles, as well as the old market towns, Dams, ruined Abbeys, Antique centers andCraft shops. Tracing your Ancestors is also an interesting pastime.
Throughout the year, there are many events in Mid Wales such as the legendery Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, Green events, Food festivals, Equestrian shows and the Builth Wells Welsh Cob Sales. Llanwrtyd is also famous for the extremely popular World Bog Snorkeling, and Man vs Horse race! Talking of races, why not have a great day at the Races at Ffoss Lass, just 1 hours drive from here.
The nearest railway station is in Llanwrtyd Wells, a 2 minute walk from the Hotel. There is an incentive for those who wish to reduce their carbon footprint by traveling this way.

This is part of the description: "On Motorola's phones, like the Droid X, there's an app that they really want you to install on your Windows or Mac system, and it makes sense to do so. It pops up whenever your Droid phone is detected." I have searched but can't find any information on where to find that app. Wonder if anyone here can point me in the right direction?

North Rockdale Collision Center
Review for North Rockdale Collision Center
Steve S. on 10/15/2014
Steve said this experience was fine. There was a previous repair done on the vehicle at a comparable business which went out of business. There were runs in the clear coat. He asked this business to give an estimate to correct this. They did, but the price was high. They did not communicate well with him and try to get the price down so they could do the work. He would have had them do the work if they had been willing to work with him on the price. He did say he would use them again, but he would make certain that the communication was good and open.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Biker Joe
Review for Snowbird Outfitters Inc, Andrews, NC, USA
I am as it shows above a Board Member and have been since 2001. I am and have also been a volunteer at the camp since 2001. I have given my testamony there, Baptised there, Preached there and I have grown closer to my Lord Jesus Christ there. Everything that I do there I do for the Youth who attend camp, but somehow God grows me while I try to grow others. I don't know if that will make sence to you but every skit, talk, activity or fellowship I help with I feel that I am the one receiving God's Blessing. I have grown closer to the Lord there, friends whom I have taken to SWO have grown closer to the Lord there, My Grandaughter prayed the Prayer of Salvation after visiting and seeing skits which she could understand at 10 years old there. It is not just a youth camp, it is a place where people of all ages can go and not help but be drawn closer to the lord, because everyone there is trying to share the Love of Jesus to every one who comes to SWO.

Growing in the Lord and seeing my friends and Family members accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I have seen lives changed and Godly Men and Women Grown from Children.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
This is a hard one, I have prayed and fasted asking God to direct the Camp Director and Staff, as well as the Board of Directors and all who have helped over the past decade. You know what? God has! The only change would be to get more people Praying and Fasting for God's will to be done, because I beleive with all my heart that as His Holy Word states that whatever God builds or creates it is good.

-I own nothing-
Your hair shines like the summer sun, your eyes like a breezy sea.
No, that's not right.
Your hair shines in the summer sun, radiating
Your eyes are like a deep ocean. Deep, and dangerous.
Why does everything I write sound so corny?
Your hands, strong and calloused
Why did I put his hands? What could I romantically say about his hands? 'Oh Peter, your
hands are so strong, I bet they would feel lovely jerking me off'. Yeah, real romantic.
Your smile is bright enough to illuminate the darkest of days, warm enough to thaw the coldest of winters.
Well, that's not too bad. It's sappy and poetic, but it's not too cheesy. Maybe I should stop trying to serenade Peter about his sunny hair and ocean eyes, and concentrate on his smile.
A smile that keeps my lonely heart beating when directed at me.
A smile that keeps my lonely heart stopping when directed at others.
Needs a little revision, not terrible though.
When I see your face in my dreams, it is not of juvenile things like sexual touches and sensual whispers.
When I see your face in my dreams, is it of white, straight teeth, that smile for me as they say the words I so long to hear.
Maybe I shouldn't tell Peter I dream of him, sounds kind of…creepy. But Peter is a hopeless romantic, he'd probably be flattered if someone dreamt of him.
I wonder if I should leave this masterpiece as is, or work on it some more. I wish I had Susan's talent for poetry, I'm rubbish at this. Everything I write is cliché and corny.
I wish there was a way for me to tell Peter how I felt, without actually needing to speak to him. Telling your brother you're secretly in love with him within punching distance is not my idea of romantic.
I'm great with words, as long as I am speaking them. I've never been good at portraying my thoughts into written form.
Maybe I can convince Susan I need help wooing a girl at school, so she'll help me. She would kill me if she knew I had feelings for Peter. 'Oh, it's so unholy!' Whatever Su.
Maybe Lucy would help. Issues about sex never really concern her, she just believes in love. Besides, two brothers dating can't be any worse than a girl dating a faun. I'm sure Lucy would understand.
Ah, who am I kidding? Lucy would get so giggly and happy she'd end up telling Peter. I really don't want him finding out I love him through Lucy, that would be more mood killing than my poetry.
None of this is going to work, I should just give up now. Even if Peter returned my feelings, no one besides Lucy would understand, for very obvious reasons.
What the…? Did someone just slide a piece of paper under my door? I wonder what it could be…
In the rainy fall weather, I see your personality
In the snowy winter weather, I see your soul
In the breezy spring weather, I see your heart
In the sunny summer weather, I see your smile
Wow…cheesy, but beautiful. Who would write something so poetic about me?

Study Reveals Weight-Cancer Relationship
Body mass index has been suggested to have association with several diseases such as cancer. According to a study, overweight women are more likely to have cancer or cancer recurrence. The journal "Cancer" published by the American Cancer Society implies the importance of maintaining lifetime fitness in women as it indicates higher cancer risks in those who have higher body mass indexes.
Women's health professor Joseph Sparano at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City reported in a press release that obese women diagnosed with breast cancer have 30 percent to recur cancer and 50 percent to die.
Sparano and his colleagues discovered that hormonal changes that could result in spreading and recurrence of cancer may occur if there is excess body fat. They believe that the growth percent of hormone receptor-positive cancers, which are also a type of breast cancer, is higher in overweight or obese women because estrogen production is high. They also suggest women to have fitness goals in life so as to prevent themselves from incurring breast cancer or any cancers.
Furthermore, oncologist Steve Schroeder thinks that the study explains how important lifetime fitness is to women when it comes to preventing cancer occurrence and recurrence. He suggests that women and/or people should lose weight to defy cancer and fight against this deadly disease.

* Obama to raise cash while advocating deficit plan
* Republicans, Democrats seek advantage on economic themes
By Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON, April 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will tout his plan to trim the deficit and try to excite younger voters on Wednesday in a campaign-style trip to California that features a stop at Facebook headquarters.
Obama embarks on a deficit-cutting road show as policy makers and financial markets recover from ratings agency Standard & Poor's threat to downgrade America's triple-A credit rating on worries Washington won't address its fiscal woes.
The president has proposed cutting $4 trillion from the U.S. budget deficit over 12 years through spending cuts and tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans -- a plan that Republicans vehemently reject.
The question of how to rein in the deficit, which is projected to hit $1.4 trillion this fiscal year, has risen to the top of the political agenda for the 2012 presidential and congressional campaigns, and Democrats and Republicans are eager to gain traction for their respective proposals.
Obama laid out his plan last week and has been testing out talking points since formally declaring himself a candidate for re-election earlier this month.
His three-day trip to California and Nevada will give him a chance to engage with voters on deficit reduction and other economic issues while raising funds for his campaign war chest.
The president's first stop on Wednesday will be at Facebook, the social networking giant, where he will hold an online question and answer session.
The event is designed to help Obama reach tech-savvy, younger voters as his campaign ramps up use of new media to raise money and generate hype about his re-election bid.
Obama, who says he will put off formal campaigning while concentrating on his White House duties, is getting a jump on his potential Republican rivals, most of whom have yet to formally declare their candidacies.
By focusing on the economy at events in two politically important states, the president hopes to engage on an issue that his future opponents are likely to exploit as a political weakness. A Washington Post poll on Tuesday showed Obama's approval ratings near record lows because of deepening economic pessimism among Americans.
Republicans have lambasted Obama for not giving more details about his deficit-cutting plan and say tax hikes would hurt the fragile U.S. economic recovery.
Focusing so much political energy on the deficit is a major shift in itself, analysts said.
"Now that is all everybody is talking about ... reducing the deficit," said Nigel Gault, an economist at Global Insight. "The terms of the debate have changed. That is progress."

In 1870 the North American firm J. & W. Seligman & Co. expanded its European business into a new bank building in Frankfurt am Main. Nearly 150 years later the listed Villa Seligman, now surrounded by the towering offices of global financial institutions, still represents the elegance of the period with aplomb. Following an update of its exterior lighting, the visual appeal of the red sandstone façade has been optimized, even at night. For this project, ewo supported the lighting and building-systems work of electronica GmbH.
The project commenced with lighting designs for various scenarios and on-site testing. The resulting renderings and readings facilitated the project participants' planning, and enabled reliable agreements as regards monument preservation. This solution created in Frankfurt's Westend district represents a perfect match with the object – in terms of light limitation, light distribution, the chromatic effect on the illuminated surface and mounting of the technical elements.
Because structural changes to the outer wall did not come into question, all light sources were embedded into the ground – except for the balcony lighting. P200 luminaires from ewo, placed around the house in an outer and an inner ring, illuminate the upper and lower parts of the structure. A light color of 3000 K ensures a warm hue. The viewer's experience of the façade color is quite similar during the night and during the day.
We developed a new design for the luminaire housings expressly for Villa Seligman. Due to its shape, it is not visible from the outside, even on the balcony; at the same time it limits the distribution of light exactly to the dimensions of the building. Various lenses are available for mounting. This allows the illumination cone for each point of light to be individually adjusted. Even though irregularities in the ground had to be taken into consideration in placing the lights, the beams of light form a symmetrical whole. The luminaire housings are not only specially protected against mechanical destruction, but are also safeguarded against the effect of weathering; the vacuum valve prevents any possible condensation, even where there are openings. This solution is as finely balanced as it is durable − and is similar in this respect to the character of the villa.

Armed militants rob people in Imphal
December 25, 2010 - Manipur
Unidentified armed militants robbed people at gunpoint in here recently.
"We were scared and handed over our cell phones. They then wanted other valuables and broke open our cupboards. We are still scared," said Promila Devi, wife of owner.olice has registered a case and a manhunt has begun to track the culprits.he incident has provoked anger amongst the people in area.
The apex body of women, Apunba Lup, organized a sit in protest in coordination with the Maklang Road Atheletic Union (MRAU) Victims in the area to condemn the incident.
"Whatever was done is wrong and we feel so helpless. It is like we are being tortured and these people keep on intimidating us and taking money from us. I feel these people are not one of us," said Kanta Singh, President of the Maklang Athletic Union.
The protestors urged the militants to spare the common people and stop threatening them so that they could live in peace.
"Militants do not respect, love even their own mother, brother and sisters. They think only for themselves. We are not happy for what they have done to us," said Bino Devi, a protestor.
Manipur has nearly 30 militant groups operating in the region, which often resort to extortion, abduction and bomb blasts. All this not only affects the people but also the development and progress of the region.

IT'S ARRIVED: Snow hits UK as -10C Baltic chill threatens winter lockdown
SNOW is falling across the UK as freezing air from Scandinavia threatens to unleash the most savage spell of winter.
An Arctic blast of the white stuff has plunged the nation back into the freezer today with flakes falling across country.
Scotland and eastern England have been hit worst with up to an inch of the white stuff already accumulating on higher ground.
Snowfall has also been reported in Sheffield, Leeds, Hull and Norfolk, with up to four inches expected to fall in some regions.
By this afternoon, freezing showers battering the east are set to drift down to London, causing rush hour hell for thousands of commuters.
It comes as temperatures plummeted to below -5C overnight, with lows of -5.3C recorded in Katesbridge, County Down.
Forecasters said thermometers will nosedive even further tonight with lows of -10C expected in some areas.
But the worst is yet to come after weather boffins have ramped up warnings of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowstorms for this weekend.
Premier League games and thousands of shoppers could be hit with snow on Saturday with widespread travel disruption feared.
"Forecast models show a 'White Saturday' for much of the UK."Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze
Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: "Forecast models show a 'White Saturday' for much of the UK.
"Many regions could see a covering. Accumulations of 15cm are possible over higher ground in the north.
"Temperatures of -14C is shown on forecast models for Scottish glens."
Much of the southern England, the Midlands and the west face the proper first snow of the winter.
The Met Office believes up to six inches could fall in northern England and Scotland.
The UK is on alert this week with health officials issuing warnings to take care in the killer cold weather.
The Met Office upgraded a level-2 cold weather health alert to a "severe" level-3.
Temperatures are expected to dip as low as -14C in parts as a 1,500-mile wide mass of air dubbed the "Scandinavian Shiver" smashes into the country.
Met Office forecaster Alex Burkill said: "Snow flurries and ice could lead to difficult driving conditions. People should keep up to date with the forecast.
"Above 10cm of snow could fall between Friday and Sunday on higher ground in the North, including the North York Moors, north Pennines and Scotland's Southern Uplands and Highlands."

Study Shows Longtime Residents Leaving D.C.
By D'Vera Cohn
The study by demographer George Grier, based on the Greater Washington Consumer Survey, comes on the heels of a recent report showing that most of the District's current taxpayers lived somewhere else before 1990.
"We are seeing a lot of people who have lived in the District for a long time are moving out -- and it's particularly true of blacks," Grier said. "And I think that is bad news."
The study was done for the D.C. Tax Revision Commission, which is weighing proposals to change the District's tax policy. The study painted a detailed portrait of residents who moved out of the city from 1990 to 1996, a period during which its population dropped by more than 10 percent.
The District has 528,000 residents, according to the latest census estimate, its smallest population since the Depression. Although other large cities also are losing residents, the District's population decline has been among the worst in this decade.
Slightly more than half the 42,000 households departing for the suburbs were black, and 70 percent moved to Maryland rather than Virginia, the study found. Most did not have children and were households of one or two people.
Grier's study, which did not include people who left the city for other parts of the country, found that more than two-thirds of the heads of households who moved to the suburbs were ages 25 to 44. Nearly half the households had incomes of $50,000 or more.
The smaller number of households -- 34,0000 -- that moved into the District were overwhelmingly white and were generally younger and more educated than those that moved out. Their incomes were slightly lower than those of the households that left the city, Grier said, but are likely to improve.
More than half the black households that moved to the suburbs had lived in the region for 20 years or more, compared with 30 percent of departing white households. Though the study did not ask departing residents how long they had lived in the city, Grier said those who had lived in the region a long time probably had been in the city all of their time here.
When long-term residents leave, it often disrupts community life and makes it tougher for neighborhood groups to find people to volunteer for Orange Hat patrols and other civic duties deemed vital to urban preservation.
"It is so unbelievably painful when someone you have worked with on big civic issues, people who have poured their hearts and souls" leave, said Marilyn Groves, co-convenor of the League of 8000 civic group. "It's almost civic kinship that takes a hit."
D.C. Council member Sharon Ambrose (D-Ward 6) said she has watched the turnover in her ward with increasing alarm. "You know where you see it a whole lot? In churches in the eastern parts of the city," Ambrose said. "If you look at the cars, you see Maryland license plates."
At many churches with suburban congregations, "you don't see any activity except on Sunday," she said.
Sam Bost, who lives in the Deanwood neighborhood in Northeast Washington, has watched a trickle of departures turn into a flood in recent years. Houses and apartments were abandoned in some cases, providing a haven for drug dealers.
When he married 18 years ago, Bost moved into a house that had been in his wife's family for several generations, and soon he knew almost everybody in his neighborhood. Now, he does not knock on doors to meet his neighbors, because "you don't know who is here."
Most of the young people who have moved in "have no interest in civic associations or civic involvement," said Bost, who is president of an umbrella group of Ward 7 civic groups.
Several miles to the west, Sheila Blake is reluctantly joining the ranks of the departing. She and her husband moved to an area near Howard University in 1989 and quickly became involved in neighborhood activities. What finally wore her down, she said, was that someone was continually dumping trash in an alley near her house.
She and her husband sold their house last weekend and are looking at houses in Takoma Park.
"I really like the city, and I like living so convenient to everything," said Blake, an artist. "But I stay mad all the time."
Joseph Bowser, 62, an advisory neighborhood commission chairman in the North Michigan Park neighborhood in Northeast Washington, grew up in the city. In the 1970s and 1980s, he saw friends leave because "it was status" to live in the suburbs. Now, when people flee, they cite poor public schools, crime and city management.
When newcomers arrive, "you have to make a good case to get people involved, because they don't see why they should get involved anymore," he said. "The elected officials don't have the voice they had."
Tom Edmonds, a political consultant and co-author of "D.C. by the Numbers," still works on Capitol Hill but doesn't live there anymore. He moved to Virginia in 1996 after 10 years in the city. But he keeps up with former neighbors -- and knows the harm caused by even one or two departures.
"It's like living in a small town," he said. "Every time you lose one of those families, you lose a crucial piece of the underpinning that holds it all together."
The study said the city's racial differences were reflected in where people move when they leave. Blacks overwhelmingly favor the Maryland suburbs -- 67 percent went to Prince George's County -- but an increasing number are moving to Virginia. Whites split almost evenly between the two states.
Among African Americans who left the District, the most popular suburban destinations, in order, were Prince George's County, Montgomery County, Fairfax County and Alexandria. Whites chose Montgomery County, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Alexandria and Prince George's County.

You know I mostly just feel calm. I find that calm spot in my head and heart and things just take a better shape and feel less fuzzy and confusing.
I may not get specific answers but I feel better inclined and energized to find them later.

Sacred stones smashed in Holy Land
(we reported this story on Tuesday, but Joe Donnelly from Caritas Internationalis has sent in further details) Aboud is a West Bank village, about one hour from Jerusalem, and 35 kilometres northwest of Ramallah. It is home to some 2,300 Palestinians, about 50% Muslim and 50% Christian, both Catholic and Orthodox. It is an extremely simple village, not desperately poor, but living with the hardships of a politically and economically unstable environment. From all outwards signs it is an unusually peaceful place. The quiet I experienced there one week ago while visiting the Caritas health clinic, parish school, church, and community is exactly the quiet I experienced there almost a decade ago, the first time I visited. According to the Lay Committee of the Holy Land, on Friday, 31 May 2002, the traditional Feast of the Visitation in the Holy Land, Israeli army jeeps drove up to the top of a hill in Aboud. Two hours later an explosion was heard. Amidst the darkness, local Palestinians were uncertain what had happened. The ancient grave of St Barbara, located in a hillside cave, had exploded, while the adjacent Orthodox church, where people went to light candles, had been destroyed. Israel offered official apologies indicating that they did not know it was a church. St Barbara has always been alive in the history and folklore of Palestinian society in the area. The site is always pointed out to visitors to Aboud and, with time permitting, a respectful tour given. Her feast day is even remembered with a special dessert. The Secours Catholique (Caritas France) team which is developing the West Bank Nutritional Programme through an ECHO grant, was in the village only the day before and is scheduled to bring a food relief convoy there in the coming week. Caritas doctors and medical assistants travel to Aboud every week. Patriarch Sabbah had only been there one week before to celebrate the First Communion of the parish children. Recently, the Latin parish priest, Fr Aziz Halaweh, had sculpted a pulpit from olive trees previously uprooted by Israeli soldiers. Caritas Jerusalem maintains a steadfast solidarity with this native Palestinian community in Aboud, as do so many Caritas partners from around the world.
