Abbott orders HIV handling probe
Reporter: Heather Ewart
KERRY O'BRIEN: Victoria's public health service is in for a sweeping overhaul, after controversies
that yesterday culminated in the sacking of the State's top health official. The State Minister for
Human Services, Bronwyn Pike, herself now under pressure to resign, has ordered an independent
review of every HIV case handled by her department after it emerged officers had failed to notify
her of cases now being investigated by police. But HIV experts and Government advisers, both in
Canberra and interstate, accuse Victoria of being complacent and lacking leadership in dealing with
HIV and the Federal Minister for Health, Tony Abbott, has ordered an investigation into whether
national standards need to be upgraded. The number of AIDS cases being reported in Victoria is on
the increase compared to other States. Heather Ewart reports.
HEATHER EWART: The day after Victoria's Chief Health Officer was sacked was the day it also emerged
Victoria had a serious problem on its hands, with a growing number of HIV cases.
DR MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE, MINISTERIAL AIDS ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Anyone who understands health in
Australia wasn't surprised that Dr Death happened in Queensland. If it was going to happen
anywhere, that's where it was going to happen, just as if there was going to be a major HIV
disaster, it was always going to happen in Victoria, because Victoria has been the most complacent
of all the States.
TONY ABBOTT, FEDERAL HEALTH MINISTER: There does seem to be an issue in Victoria and I think that's
been reflected in the events down there over the last 24 hours.
MICHAEL KENNEDY, VICTORIAN AIDS COUNCIL: We just can't get an answer about what's going on here. We
don't know. Our sense is that something is very badly broken here.
BRONWYN PIKE, VICTORIAN HEALTH MINISTER: We know this is a challenge. We know this is a problem,
and that's why we're dealing with it.
HEATHER EWART: But are they? It was delays in reporting four deaths of elderly patients at a
Melbourne nursing home after a suspected salmonella outbreak that was the final downfall of
Victoria's Chief Health Officer, Dr Robert Hall. This, though, was simply the catalyst for a much
bigger controversy. The State Minister for Human Services was furious. He'd also delayed notifying
her of police investigations into the behaviour of a number of HIV positive men.
BRONWYN PIKE: Given the sensitivity of this issue, given that the police had files, given that
there had been some problems with communication, it's clearly totally unacceptable that I didn't
know about every single dealing that my department had, no matter how big or how small, with this
group of people, and that's the reason why I've taken this very decisive action.
MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: I think his position had become untenable. It was inevitable that someone was
going to have to be the fall guy for these mistakes.
HEATHER EWART: It was the case of an HIV positive man, Michael John Neal, accused of infecting two
men with HIV and trying to infect another 14 with the virus, that first hit the public eye when he
was arrested last year. That's despite 10 complaints to the Department of Human Services since late
2001, and an expert panel's calls for him to be detained. The department, though, failed to act.
Early last year, police raided the department after it refused to hand over documents relating to
the Neal case. A pattern was emerging here.
TED BAILLIEU, VICTORIAN OPPOSITION LEADER: This is an issue about the failure of the Department of
Health here to deal with this in a way which protected the public interest. When the Victoria
Police felt it was necessary to raid the department.
BRONWYN PIKE: Well, I certainly was aware that there were problems with my department's dealing
with HIV cases 12 months ago, and I've been very open about that.
REPORTER: So why didn't you do something about it?
BRONWYN PIKE: Well, what I did at the time was I did order a complete investigation and I also had
all of the protocols for dealing with HIV cases at that time reviewed and implemented.
HEATHER EWART: Well, that clearly didn't work, because the minister says it was only last Friday
she became aware of further police investigations into another three cases her department had
played a role in. None of this came as any surprise to those AIDS groups and monitoring bodies both
here and in other States.
MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Heather, we have known there's a problem in Victoria since mid-2001, when the
rate of sexually transmitted disease in gay men started to increase. So this is nothing new. The
problem has been around for six years, it just hasn't been addressed and we're now facing a rate of
HIV in Victoria as high as it was in the mid-1980s, when things were at its worst. So what it shows
is a very deep malaise and inaction.
HEATHER EWART: How has it come to this?
MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: It's a very good question because, just over the border in NSW, they had the
same problem four to five years ago. They acted, and they've got their rates of HIV down. Victoria
hasn't acted, and we've got a diabolical situation.
MIKE KENNEDY: What we have seen is a government that hasn't been able to deal successfully with the
rises and put a program in place to address them.
HEATHER EWART: The minister, Bronwyn Pike, points to an announcement made last October to increase
AIDS funding by around $3 million, yet there doesn't appear to have been any rush to get the moths
out of the Government's pockets.
HEATHER EWART: Has any of that money been spent yet?
BRONWYN PIKE: We in fact have been working through a process of determining where that money should
go, and I have certainly signed off on a number of projects that will be allocated that money.
MIKE KENNEDY: When the minister announced additional money last year, we don't know what they're
using to assess the proposals they're getting, which is why two months after the bids have closed
we still don't know what's happening with that money.
HEATHER EWART: The Federal minister, Tony Abbott, is on his latest charity bike ride through rural
NSW. He's asked a Government advisory committee to look at upgrading national standards to deal
with the handling of HIV cases.
TONY ABBOTT: It is important that we have a national approach on something like this, otherwise
things could be missed.
HEATHER EWART: And it may be the fresh air, but unlike his State counterparts, he's not calling for
Bronwyn Pike's resignation.
TONY ABBOTT: Look, I think plainly this is very embarrassing for the Victorian Government but, on
the other hand, ministers do very much depend upon the official advice that they get and if she
wasn't getting the advice, it's hard to know how she can be held personally responsible.
KERRY O'BRIEN: That report from Heather Ewart.

(FIA) Lewis Hamilton recovered from a disastrous opening session in Melbourne to record the fastest lap of second practice ahead of this weekend's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver stopped on track just five minutes into the first session with a sensor problem and prior to the start of the second session had not set a timed lap.
That changed though and the 2008 champion eventually managed 37 laps in the afternoon, donning soft tyres in the second half of the session to post a time of 1:29.625. That was good enough to move ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg by 0.157s as the German marque continued the good form shown in testing.
Behind the Mercedes duo Ferrari's Fernando Alonso ended the day in third position, half-a-second off Hamilton.
It was a positive second session too for Red Bull Racing. In the opening session, the team had posted 36 laps in total and the team more doubled that tally in late afternoon with Sebastian Vettel posting 41 laps on his way to fourth place on the timesheet and Daniel Ricciardo adding 38 laps to his total. The Australian ended the day in sixth place, behind McLaren's Jenson Button.
Kimi Raikkonen ended the day in seventh place, although the Finn's running was interrupted by a gearbox problem as preparing for a practice start at the end of the pit lane.
While Red Bull Racing had a solid outing, other Renault-powered teams were not so fortunate. Caterham's Kamui Kobayashi was sidelined in the first session by a fuel system problem and that persisted through session two leaving him stranded in the garage for the entire day. Marcus Ericsson did manage to take to the circuit but a hydraulics problem forced him back to the garage for the remainder of the session.
Lotus, too, had a bad day. After failing to record a timed lap in the opening session the team had a similarly tough second period. Pastor Maldonado was sent out but didn't make it out of the pit lane before he was halted by a suspected ERS problem. Romain Grosjean did get out on track and managed to get in some timed laps, though his best was a 1:33.646, four seconds off the pace. He then had an off late in the session to round out a difficult day for the team.

Another Piece of Info is : Fiat had asked for a small car design from the Italian designer Giugiaro for their cinquecento facelift. Giugiaro had readied the Matiz design for Fiat. But Fiat somehow did not take this design. Around the same time, the Korean Daewoo approached Giugiaro, and that design became Daewoo Matiz. So the Matiz was designed as a Fiat Facelift

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Sweat were among those contributors:

William Wareham
Born in Ohio, Wareham attended the Philadelphia School of Art where he received his BFA. At UC Berkeley he received both an MA and MFA. He was a recipient of an NEA grant in 1974 and the Eisner Prize for Sculpture at UC Berkeley in 1968 and 1969. He assisted Peter Volkos for five years and Mark di Suvero for six. Other influences can be traced to Antony Caro and David Smith. Wareham was the first Artist in Residence at the Norcal Solid Waste Systems facility in San Francisco. Since then recycled steel has been used as a primary material in many of his sculptures. He has exhibited widely throughout California, including solo exhibits at the Oakland Museum Sculpture Court, the Pacific Heritage Museum in San Francisco, and in Nevada, Hawaii, Illinois and New Jersey. The Voigt Family Sculpture foundation installed his major sculpture Lackawanna on the Santa Rosa Junior College campus and a bench on the Foss Creek Pathway. He has had work on display as part of the City of Santa Rosa public art sculpture exhibition and in Cloverdale. He moved his studio from the Hunter's Point Shipyards in San Francisco when he bought property in Montague, California.
We Two
A sculpture opportunity that could be something meaningful to our memory of Al Vogt is something of which I wanted to be a part. He was a generous and thoughtful friend with a disposition that always put one at ease; his sense of humor showing deep intelligence and understanding of how things are.
How to address that in a sculpture is a challenge. The simplicity of forms, two quarter sphere wedges, acknowledges his and my friendship. The polygon at the apex is his ascendance with a golden glow. Finally, the three white parallel fence bars address the rural life where we each found necessary for happiness. I think it symbolically says enough. The finished sculpture had to be BIG, not diminutive, speaking to the generous life Al lived. I wanted the sculpture to appear light as if it is lifting up using a minimal of structural means to active this. I think Al understood engineering feats like this!

Global stocks recovered Tuesday after another big sell-off on Wall Street, as investors awaited a key speech from U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke following a run of weak economic news.
Fears over the global economy have grown due to a raft of underwhelming economic indicators around the world, particularly out of the U.S., which culminated in last week's much weaker than expected U.S. payrolls report for May.
As a result, there is speculation that the Fed may retain its super-loose monetary policy for much longer than initially thought.
The Fed's current $600 billion monetary stimulus is due to expire this month and the prevailing view in the markets until recently was that the central bank would drop the program and possibly start raising interest rates by the end of this year.
However, the recent soft batch of economic data has led some in the markets to speculate that the Fed may consider more monetary stimulus and keep interest rates at the record low of near zero percent well into next year.
Bernanke's speech later at the International Monetary Conference in Atlanta, Georgia could have a huge impact on markets.
"Bernanke's speech provides the Fed chairman with an opportunity to update his views on the state of the economy," said Neil MacKinnon, global macro strategist at VTB Capital. "In light of the soft data on house prices, industrial production and the labour market there is no doubt that the Fed's projection of 3.1-3.3 percent GDP growth for this year is demanding."
In the run-up to the speech, which is due to be delivered around 1945 GMT, stocks were relatively solid. European shares were further buoyed by news that retail sales in the 17 countries that use the euro rose by 0.9 percent in April, three times the rate anticipated.
In Europe, Germany's DAX rose 0.6 percent to 7,130 while the CAC-40 in France was 0.6 percent higher at 3,887. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.3 percent at 5,878 .
Wall Street was also poised to recoup some recent losses, which have pushed the main indexes to their lowest levels since late March. Dow futures were up 0.4 percent at 12,132 while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 futures rose 0.5 percent to 1,291.
The other big theme in the markets, aside from the state of the global economy, remains Europe's debt crisis.
Last Friday's effective decision by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to give Greece the next euro12 billion batch of bailout funds and signals it may get a second bailout have helped ease worries that the country will default on its mountain of debts.
The relief is particularly notable in the performance of the euro, which was trading near one-month highs of $1.4674. Earlier, it struck its highest level since May 5 at $1.4682.
Asian shares, meanwhile, turned in a mixed performance.
Though Japan's Nikkei 225 closed up 0.7 percent at 9,442.95, South Korea's Kospi index slipped 0.7 percent to 2,099.71,
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index lost 0.4 percent to 22,868.67 while mainland Chinese shares gained as investors kept on snapping up bargains following recent sell-offs. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.6 percent to 2,744.30, while the Shenzhen Composite Index of China's smaller, second exchange gained 0.7 percent to 1,132.69.
Oil prices meanwhile continued to trade in a fairly narrow range around the $100 a barrel mark ahead of a meeting of the OPEC oil cartel. Benchmark crude for July delivery was up 11 cents to $99.12 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Analysts are looking for clues on what OPEC will do about oil production when the cartel meets Wednesday in Vienna. OPEC ministers could decide to try to lower oil prices by increasing production. Some OPEC officials have said that they believe oil prices are too high and threaten global economic recovery.
Pamela Sampson in Bangkok contributed to this report.

Paris Jackson Doesn't Feel Katherine Can Meet Her Emotional Needs, Source Reveals
Paris Jackson's suicide attempt will likely lead to an emergency family meeting where her guardians will attempt to provide for the teen and determine where she should go next. One source claims that Paris reached out for her mother because she felt that her grandmother, Katherine, could not meet her emotional needs.
"Katherine, Debbie (Rowe) and TJ are going to meet on this soon to discuss and come up with a plan," a source close to the family told People magazine. "Paris loves her grandmother but feels that Katherine can't provide for her emotional needs. She and Katherine are close but it just isn't working for Paris."
Paris has recently been spending much more time with her biological mother, Debbie, and the two were planning to spend a great deal of time together this summer. The teen has apparently struggled with her late father's wrongful death trial. It appears spending time with Debbie has helped.
"Paris loves Katherine, but Katherine is dealing with the trial – and Katherine is an old woman. There is something missing in Paris' life. The family hasn't really taken this serious, that's why Paris has turned to Debbie Rowe. It's really sad. Paris is the girl who has everything, but the girl who has nothing," the source added.
Michael Jackson died four years ago, and Paris was the one who actually spoke at her father's funeral. Since then, she has been the child most seen in the public eye, developing her own life and apparently struggling along the way.
"Paris went to UCLA Medical Center a few months back for depression and because she was feeling suicidal," the source revealed. "She misses her father greatly; she was the center of Michael's world. Paris is very unhappy and alone. She's living in this place and there's security and uncles and all these hangers-on. And she's alone. That's one of the reasons she reached out to Debbie Rowe – she wants a family."
Paris is reportedly seeing visitors while she remains in the hospital, and her guardians have all rallied around her to offer their full support. She was hospitalized on Wednesday morning following a suicide attempt.

Smith Barney CLAWBACK wages
22 RepliesJump to last post
I, like so many others, left Smith Barney earlier this year.
Apparently the new SB comp plan and policy is to do a grid adjustment on final month's comp.
So instead of getting a final paycheck for the comm and fees generated month-to-date up to resignation they INVOICE you for a retro grid adjustment.
I just got a letter from a law firm they retained to collect the debt or file an arbitraion hearing.
This strikes me as unprecedented. Has anyone heard of this or fought through it?
I'd have an Atty respond with a letter. I can't imagine they'd be able to collect on something that wasn't agreed upon or even put into effect until after you left.
Thats baloney.
They have no idea how much business you would have done the rest of the year. They can only estimate based on what you grossed last year. Sue them back for a stock that went from 57 to 3.
And unless it's a pot full of money I doubt they would risk the expense. If I leave I still owe them with a littl more than a year left on my contract. I haven't decided if I will fight paying them back yet or not.
Does the clawback have anything to do with fee's that were refunded to clients? If you were paid on 25k in fees and only 4k was used before they gave refunds I could see you having to pay back your payout portion.
But not if they were paying you a higher grid % and retroactively taking a percent back because you didn't hit the payout bogey's.
Are they trying to claw back based on what you were annualizing, or based on what you did till the day you left, and making the assumption that was your gross for the year/
I left a few weeks ago. If i get a letter like that i will send it back, but first i will make it very dirty. And it will smell bad. Real bad.
That's what is so dirty about it! They are saying that the final grid rate is based on ytd gross not annualized or trailing 12. So they recalc ytd comp and say bang you get no final paycheck and you owe us 20k or whatever.
I agree with Bob. They only had a portion of the years expenses for you...not a full year. I thinking they are just trying to rattle you. I would go to arbitration on that one.
Well, I have confirmed that SB is indeed claiming "clawback" wages. What a crock of **** , I am so glad that I left last week, and BTW I will soon find out what my first arbitration is like. I want the dollars I just earned, they will "NOT" hold my wages.

Actually, you didn't earn it. You get paid based upon the level that you hit on the grid. At the end of the day, you got paid exactly what you have earned year to date. You are not entitled to a higher breakpoint because you didn't hit that breakpoint. This is not a new policy, they have been paying on a grid system for years.
My team came over a few months ago and we were hit with the severely reduced payout which basically made out final paychecks $0. We have not as of yet been sent an invoice for money owed back... .
We have spoken with a very experienced attorney on this matter and he has reviewed the documents pertaining to the comp agreement. He's recommending we file a class action suit ASAP as he does not believe what Smith Barney is doing will hold up in court. We will be filing shortly. Here's his contact info:

Hope this helps!
I don't know how their grid works, but it sounds as if what they are doing might be legit.
With my B/D, one's payout level is based upon GDC and it is from the first dollar.
Ex: Joe is a new rep. He starts at a 40% payout. When he does enough business, his payout gets bumped to 50%. Additionally, he will get an extra 10% on all of the business that he did when he was still at 40%. If he hits the 60% payout, he'll get an extra 10% bump on his previous business. The same thing happens when he hits 70%.
Let's assume that he ends the year at 70%. He can start the next year with a 70% payout. The catch is that much of this payout is paid before it is earned. If Joe only does $50,000 GDC and that keeps him at a 40% payout, he'll have been paid $35,000 ($50K x .7), but will have only earned $20,000. He'll owe the B/D $15,000.
It doesn't matter if the reason is that he had a sucky year or if he quit after a month.
Is this the clawback?
The issue is the comp plan does not specifically say this. It alludes to it but never comes right out and says it. Also, the fact that it's NOT enforced on everyone who leaves works against them. When the attorney read through the comp plan he felt there were major issues with this.
Anyone who has left our SB office in the past year has had their final paycheck withheld, not just clawed back.
Anyone have any updates on their situation and how it's being handled? I am curious as I am 2 weeks removed from SB and I am sure my call is coming. I just received a paystub with no earnings for the month, but haven't heard anything else.
Do they completely change your YTD earnings and back out your 401K contributions? Seems like that would definately be illegal especially after the JV took place and we supposedly were all terminated on June 1.
Regardless I can see myself being part of the class action.
I would appreciate anyones feedback as to their circunstances and whether you had any resolution.
Seems to me a good part of this argument would be favorable to anyone that left after the JV took place. Advisors were terminated and then rehired, payouts on the 401K and pension plan are taking place and paystubs started at zero. If they clawback people that left they would have to clawback those that stayed that didn't produce enough in 6 months to hit the grid.
I could see the point of being on a reduced payout for anything after June 1, but nothing prior to the JV...that company is gone.
Smith Barney sent a folded letter announcing the merger with Morgan Stanley along with the April statements. On page 4 they said they would waive transfer fees for any client who did not wish to have their account transferred to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney if they notified the firm before May 30.
Did anyone else experience this? Please email me. I am looking for others who were caught in this.
By the way I had 50 days left on my contract and left early only so my clients wouldn't have to pay the termination fee. They are filing for a year's worth of my 7 yr forgiveable loan.
"They are filing for a year's worth of my 7 yr forgiveable loan. "
Thats standard procedure, they helped me get a note form UBS prorated years ago, I think you will find that you will only be due whats left of the 55 days.

"After feeling dismissed for 24 hours, this member of staff felt like an angel"
About: Warrington Hospital / Maternity Warrington Hospital Maternity WA5 1QG
Posted by Ria2014 (as ),
After giving birth to my son on in June 2011, I was moved to the antenatal ward at Warrington Hospital. I struggled to breast feed (he wouldnt latch on), and despite 10 minutes of help here and there from the staff I met, and a frustrating 40 minutes with a breastfeeding peer support worker, my son had not had any milk for 24 hours after he was born. I gave up and asked the staff for milk in a bottle which he wolfed down.
At that point one of the staff (I really wish I could remember her name) noticed that he had a tongue tie which meant he could not breastfeed. After feeling like I was being dismissed and paranoid by some of the staff I met for the previous 24 hours, this one member of staff felt like an angel. She sat with me and told me about his tongue tie and told me not to feel guilty for not breastfeeding and referred him to Alder Hey to get it sorted.

After watching her big cousin Kee Kee compete in a cheerleading competition, Ruby attempts to copy some of the high-flying moves she saw earlier. This cheerleading stuff could be just the thing to bring her a ton of attention. But during practice with Marcellus, she injures her arm and must be rushed to the hospital. The doctors fit her with a hot-pink cast that turns out to be a great conversation piece. After giving a million different versions of the accident to everyone at school, she becomes the center of attention after all!
Ruby cannot wait to for the show to begin. The Wallace Park Spirit Drill Team, led by Ruby's older cousin, Keeva, is about to start. Excitement whips through the gym as the girls begin to dance. Ruby is fixated on becoming just like Keeva and puts a plan into motion to start a drill team at her very own elementary school. Later Ruby calls a meeting to order regarding the Chill Brook Steppers. She has set out to recruit the best of the best. The only problem is there are only two girls buying into the plan: Ruby and her best friend, Teresa. Marcellus, Ruby's big brother, takes it upon himself to coach the new team. Unfortunately, his coaching skills are not up to par. Ruby fractures her wrist while learning to flip. She will spend the next several weeks in a cast. Ruby wants to spend time with Keeva and her drill team. She arrives one afternoon to find that no one is dressed to flip or perform. There is no music. Ruby is confused. Keeva explains that occasionally they are cheerleaders for those who are in need of a boost. They help out those who are less fortunate and feed the homeless when they are not practicing. This is the type of team Ruby can be a part of, with or without a cast. She calls the girls together again and this time they put their plan into action. The Chill Brook Steppers have arrived, ready to help those in need. Ruby couldn't be happier with her new role. This charming story is a great way to show children that they can make a difference in the community, no matter how young. Reviewer: Summer Whiting

We're buying a house in the Bay Area (California) and the previous owner has planted a large organic garden. I don't have any experience with gardening and am hoping I can keep the plants alive and have a great harvest. There are at least 30 plants (mainly tomatoes, peppers, corn, lettuce, squash). The temperature for the summer ranges around 70-90 degrees and dry. It'll get full sun for most of the day.
Can anyone recommend a good book or online resources for a new gardener?

The aim is to provide a thorough and exhaustive Bible study on the life of Jesus, following the events of his life in a chronological order. It is intended for folk eager for an understanding of the Hebraic background to Jesus and the Gospels. The Bible study, if released on a weekly basis, should take 3 years to run its course, though all lessons will be held on-line so folk will be able to start the Bible study at any time.
"On this day in Messianic Jewish history" brings you significant events in the life of Jewish believers in Yeshua, or events in the history of the Church and the Jewish people that have shaped Jewish expressions of faith in Yeshua, and impacted Jewish Christianity in the past and its contemporary expression in Messianic Judaism today.

Matthew 2:13-18
Mt. 2:13 Now when they departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to Yoseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."
Mt. 2:14 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother and departed for Egypt.
Mt. 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."
Mt. 2:16 Then Herod when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.
Mt. 2:17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Mt. 2:18 "A voice was heard in Ramah, lamenting, weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they were no more."
The Word: On the same day, when evening had come, Yeshua (Jesus) said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side." Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was… And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But Yeshua was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, do You not care that we are perishing?" Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful?
WEEK 21 : "Yochanan haMatbil Prepares the Way"
Matt. 3:1-6; Mark 1:2-6; Luke 3:3-6
Lk. 3:3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of remission of sins. (Mt. 3:3; Mk. 1:4)
Mt. 3:2 And saying, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
Lk. 3:4a As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, (Mt. 3:4a; Mk. 1:2a)
Mk. 1:2b "Behold, I send My messenger before your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
Lk. 3:4b "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight," (Mt. 3:3b; Mk. 1:3)
Lk. 3:5 Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; and the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough ways made smooth."
Lk. 3:6 "And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
Mt. 3:5 Then all Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around Jordan went out to him, (Mk. 1:5a)
Mt. 3:6 And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. (Mk. 1:5b)
Mt. 3:4 And Yochanan himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around the waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. (Mk. 1:6)
WEEK 26 : The Testimony of Yochanan to the Committee of the Sanhedrin
John 1:19-28
Jn. 1:19 Now this is the testimony of Yochanan, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Jn. 1:20 He confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
Jn. 1:21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"
Jn. 1:22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"
Jn. 1:23 He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."
Jn. 1:24 Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
Jn. 1:25 And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
Jn. 1:26 Yochanan answered them, saying, "I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know."
Jn. 1:27 "It is He, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose."
Jn. 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where Yochanan was baptizing.
WEEK 4 : Yochanan's Birth Announced to Zacharias
Luke 1:5-25
Lk. 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Lk. 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Lk. 1:7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
David Wilkerson was a legendary preacher who truly did hear from God, and a remarkable prophecy that he gave about 40 years ago is coming to pass right now. After watching a video on our new YouTube channel, a viewer mentioned that something my wife and I were talking about sounded exactly like something that David Wilkerson had said close to 40 years ago. I was skeptical at first, but I checked it out. And it turned out that this viewer was exactly correct. Without even knowing it, for years I have been preaching virtually the exact same message that David Wilkerson prophesied nearly four decades ago, and today this prophecy is being fulfilled right in front of our eyes. In his vision, Wilkerson saw the rise of two "super churches" in the last days. The first "super church" would be deeply apostate, and it would include both Protestants and Catholics. It would prominently use the name of Jesus Christ, but it would be "antichrist and political in many of its activities."

ORLANDO, Fl. — "I think it's amazing to be able to take everyday technology and use it to be able to help us care for the animals."
T. J. Dray is an aviculturist at SeaWorld Orlando.
He's talking about technology like this: a wetsuit for a penguin!"
"Adelie is one of our penguins who is going through some feather loss, something that can happen in natural habitats and wild populations, and can be so detrimental to them."
As a result of her feather-loss, the bird had a hard time naturally regulating her body temperature. Luckily, somebody realized SeaWorld has a costuming department!
"They come to me to make a wetsuit for the penguin!"
The penguin pros worked with Maria Barreto, a wardrobe craftsperson, and created a wetsuit to mimic a coat of feathers. Call it a custom fit wetsuit- that's for the birds!
"We're hoping the wetsuit is going to be able to take the place of what the wetsuit would provide. The feathers aren't there, the wetsuit will be there, it's going to keep her warm, especially in the water."
Dray explains that penguins live almost 3/4 of their lives in the water.
Maria is pleased to have had a part in helping the little penguin.
"I'm happy that everything's going okay, and they approve, and she can wear it to keep her warm. Very nice, yeah."
"We care for each of these penguins individually, so being able to make that kind of difference for her is really cool."
While wearing her wetsuit, this fearless, featherless, female swims, sleeps and eats alongside her fellow penguins.
"And now with that wetsuit she's going to be in there and able to keep warm."

NEWSMAKERS: Don Johnson Plays Daddy
Don Johnson has one more reason to be thankful his career moved beyond "Miami Vice": As of Tuesday, he's got a new baby girl to take care of.
Johnson, 50, and wife Kelley, 30, welcomed Atherton Grace Johnson (7 pounds, 15 ounces) into the world shortly after 11 a.m. PST at a San Francisco hospital, according to the actor's publicist, Elliot Mintz. Mother and daughter were said to doing "extraordinary."
Don and Kelley Johnson married last year. The actor, late of CBS's "Nash Bridges," has been married twice to Melanie Griffith ("Crazy in Alabama"), with whom he has a 9-year-old daughter, Dakota. He also has a teen-age son from a previous relationship with actress Patti D'Arbanville ("New York Undercover").
Atherton, by the way, is named for Kelley's late father, Atherton Macondray Phleger. To make it easier on all concerned, the child will be known as Grace or Gracie.
MEMORABLE MADELINE: The sudden death of Madeline Kahn left her TV show, "Cosby," in a lurch. Now the cast of the CBS sitcom hopes to find closure by paying tribute to the Oscar-nominated comedienne in tonight's episode.
Kahn, who played co-star Phylicia Rashad's best friend and business partner on the series, had completed four episodes this season before asking for time off in September to deal with a medical problem. Kahn never returned to the set, dying Dec. 3 of ovarian cancer at age 57.
Tonight's Kahn-dedicated "Cosby" airs at 8 p.m. EST/PST. Look for cast members' remembrances and clips from her work on the sitcom.
MR. SPIELBERG'S OPUS: Director Steven Spielberg will draw his most captive audience on New Year's Eve in Washington, D.C., as he unveils a new 20-minute film about the century.
The five-part montage, titled "The Unfinished Journal" and featuring a score by frequent collaborator John Williams, is a "a musical and poetic celebration about why we are all here today, what are the shoulders that we stood on to achieve this moment in time, and in history, and to look back over the last 100 years and say 'thank you,' and then, to imagine the next 100 years," Spielberg said Tuesday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The short will be shown on giant screens at the Lincoln Memorial and throughout The Mall.
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL? Ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell (aka Ginger Spice) reportedly is securing new digs, and her selection shows she either possesses a twisted mind — or a sense of humor.
Halliwell is rumored to be paying $6.5 million for the British mansion featured in the 1976 fright-fest "The Omen." (Look for it in the scene where demonic young Damien — the kiddie Antichrist — prompts his nurse to jump from a window.)
In real life, the 20-acre, 100-room estate near Woking, England, is more luxurious than scary. It sports a ballroom, library, minstrel gallery, pool and servants' quarters. Halliwell, a reported 27, will likely move in after she throws a huge millennial bash at her current Berkshire home.

It's certainly fun to talk about how we all like to enjoy the spoils of good trading, but believe it or not, knowing when—and how—to indulge ourselves can be helpful to our continued success. That's because, just as a punishment system is important for preventing bad behaviours, an effective reward system is a valuable tool to help promote good ones. So, it's at this point when we ask you all, "How do you like to reward yourself for good trading?"
Now, many traders will say that they like to celebrate milestone winning trades by taking some profits from their trading account and enjoying a nice dinner, perhaps going on holiday, or just paying off some expenses and having some extra spending money for the time being, and that's all fine and dandy.
There are, however, some thoughtful considerations for developing a reward system with lasting trading success in mind, and we want to discuss some of those items here today. Items like knowing what really constitutes "good trading," how often you can (or should) indulge yourself, and how to turn your rewards into lasting memories that will encourage and empower more good trading in the future.
Define "Good Trading" Using Realistic, Non-Monetary Terms
It's only natural for most traders to associate good trading with profits, and as a result, many naturally use P&L as their primary—or perhaps only—determinant for when they'll give themselves some measure of reward. I've written here before, however, that I disagree with that practice, and I'll give you two examples that help illustrate why.
First, have you (or perhaps someone you know) ever just "gotten lucky" on a trade? You know the kind: One where all the trading rules were seemingly broken (or non-existent), the chart pattern wasn't all that strong and/or familiar, and where risk wasn't carefully managed, yet the market went your way and resulted in a winning trade nonetheless.
Few would argue that from a strategic, long-term perspective, that's not an example of good trading, and yet, using the P&L-based logic, a reward might have been "earned" for something like that.
And secondly, the opposite can be true as well. How many times have you done everything right, isolating your chart pattern and qualifying the set-up, carefully managing risk, and executing the trade precisely according to your plan, only to have the market go against you and your trade be stopped out for a loss?
In this case, it was an example of good trading, and while the trader has nothing to show for this time, this approach to the markets—as opposed to the approach exhibited in the previous example—should be encouraged, carried forward for the future, and even rewarded whenever possible.
That's why, rather than using P&L to define good trading, we often recommend considerations like these instead:
- Consistency: Especially for newbie traders, are you coming into the markets each day with the proper focus and preparations done? Do you have a short list of markets or currency pairs you're watching for just one or a couple potential chart patterns? Is your trading desk neat and functional, and are you working to repeat the good trading habits that are important to your success? Even if you aren't even taking live trades yet, it's not to say that you can't use a reward system to your advantage in a manner such as this.
- Discipline & Plan Compliance: How well do you follow your own rules for trading the markets? Do you stick to only your favoured market(s) and assets, and trade only qualifying set-ups? Do you have a hard stop loss on all your positions? And can you maintain 98%-100% plan compliance for a full week, a full month, or even an entire quarter? Many, including myself, would focus on discipline and especially plan compliance as the go-to metrics that separate good trading from bad.
- New Skills: Maybe you're dabbling in new methods or learning a new chart pattern. Are you able to demo trade it successfully for a period of three (3) months and show consistent, positive performance results? Perhaps you've backtested and verified it in a sampling of real market conditions, too. Or maybe you've even just booked your first successful trade using your new pattern or set-up. If so, that's good trading for sure!
- Psychological Improvements: A stronger mental game can benefit traders of all levels. So if you're working to identify and overcome instances where fear, anger, or other emotions tend to plague your trading, recognise and reward your successes along the way. Like when you make it through a week, month, or a quarter without missing any qualifying trade set-ups because of fear or hesitation. Or when you use mindfulness to isolate negative thinking following a losing trade and keep it from impacting your next trades.
Continue by reading Part 2 of this article series, where we examine more worthwhile trading goals and show you some potential rewards that help empower good trading and encourage you to develop and repeat winning habits.

Scott Bakula has landed the male lead in TNT's drama pilot starring Geena Davis as a bounty hunter, TVLine has learned.
Bakula will play a detective who is also the ex-husband of Davis' character, a Seattle bail bondswoman whose eccentric personality and unusual tactics give her an advantage in a tough and unpredictable business.
The yet-to-be-titled pilot, penned by Scott Prendergast and Amy Berg, to be directed by Dean Devlin (Leverage) and inspired by the real-life story of Mackenzie Green, will shoot in mid-March.
Four-time Oscar nominee Marsha Mason previously was cast as Davis' bounty hunter-helping TV mom.
Bakula, who earlier this week booked a Two and a Half Men appearance, next can be seen in HBO Films' Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra as well as the indie films Elsa and Fred (playing son to Shirley MacLaine) and Snap (a psychological thriller starring The Sarah Connor Chronicles' Thomas Dekker). His previous TV credits include TNT's Men of a Certain Age and Quantum Leap.

Um, I have no idea.
I don't own Twilight.
A Lifelong Guilt
He watched the foggy sun rise over the horizons, clouds barring the passage of its rays to the ground below. The trees and plants were mourning the loss of sunlight, but Carlisle was thankful for the absence—he got to go to work.
"You've been sitting there all night, Carlisle."
He looked up, his tawny eyes coming to rest on those of his wife. She was beaming, a teasing glint in her golden orbs. Carlisle would never adjust to just how amazing she was—in every aspect of her being. How lovely, how intelligent, how perfect that she was. He didn't think he could have saved a better person than Esme.
"I was just thinking." He murmured. A shadow seemed to pass over Esme's flawless face, her lips turning down ever so slightly at the corners. Those eyes he loved grew a little bit darker, and it seemed that maybe, in those few moments, she'd never smile again—because she knew what he was thinking about. The same thing every one else was thinking about.
"I see."
"Esme," he whispered, coming to stand in front of her. He brushed a piece of hair from her face, caressing the soft, alabaster flesh of her cheek. The caramel haired beauty shook her head, ridding her mind of tragic thoughts, and memories still fresh. Just like that, the dark look passed, and she was smiling up at him.
"I just wanted to wish you a good day at work."
He nodded, laying a chaste kiss to her forehead, and letting a smile grace his handsome visage, "Thank you, love."
She laughed lightly, placing her arms around his back and hugging his taller frame to her shorter one, "When will you be home?"
He tossed his shoulders carelessly, "Late, I'm sure."
She buried herself deeper into his chest as he rested his chin on top of her long mane of toffee colored hair. Her eyes closed, and for once in the never-ending months they had been there—they were content at being just them, just happy. With all the faults in their lives, with all the loss they had suffered just recently, they were still able to find happiness in the darkest of times.
"I'm going to look around today, I think." She murmured, moments later, her voice muffled a little by the fabric of his shirt.
"Enjoy yourself," he told her, pulling back from their embrace, "be careful."
She rolled her eyes, "I believe I can manage."
He smiled, leaning down to capture her lips in a sweet kiss.
"If you were really my parents," Emmett's voice made them pull apart to see their smirking surrogate son leaning on the banister outside the door, "that would be so wrong."
Carlisle chuckled, "don't you think it acceptable for older couples to show their affection?"
"What," Emmett wrinkled his nose in distaste as he joined Carlisle in walking down the stairs, "like old people," here he shuddered, "kissing and stuff?"
Carlisle smirked, "Technically, Emmett, you're old."
The giant vampire pursed his lips, "That's different."
"You'll never lose the desire to kiss your wife Emmett. It's the same with pairs of a more… significant age."
He huffed, calling to Rosalie, "Come on," he urged her, "Carlisle just outsmarted me… again, and I want to make my quick escape."
Carlisle laughed as he grabbed his bag and keys, "I'll see you all tonight."
Esme waved to him from the second story landing, "Bye."
Another ambulance pulled up to the hospital, and Carlisle rubbed his eyes from exhaustion. True, he couldn't really get tired, couldn't feel fatigue, but seeing lives so effortlessly taken away drained the centuries old doctor. His topaz gaze landed on a woman in a stretcher, a brace around her neck, her hand wrapped tightly around a rosary.
Her lips were moving slightly, as she prayed to whatever god would listen to her pleas. Carlisle could imagine her words, having heard the last wishes of so many in his lifetime. The bloody fingers rubbed the beads of her charm as she was wheeled into a room, the handsome doctor following her in.
"What happened?" he asked an EMT, his fierce, passionate eyes boring into the man's frantic ones.
The young volunteer swallowed as he looked over at the woman, his green eyes darting across her bloodied face, "She was crossing the street…" he mumbled, "just walking across the street when she was hit by a car. She went through the glass."
Charlotte, Carlisle read from the chart in his hands, 49. He walked over to her bedside as other doctors extracted pieces of glass from her flesh, his gaze landing once more on her rosary. Somehow, this tiny article of faith broke his resolve just slightly, put a hitch in his belief of not getting involved emotionally. He didn't think his sanity could cope with all the death he was witness to if he did take the chance to feel.
"Charlotte?" he said loudly, making the woman's eyes snap open. Her cloudy green orbs blinked into coherence, landing on his face. Her monitor jolted when the doctor placed his hand on her arm, trying to get her to answer the questions that he himself wasn't sure he had heard.
"Charlotte, do you remember what happened?" he said again, his voice raising a little as her monitor began to get slower and slower. She gave a watery smile through her fresh tears, her lips trembling as her machine finally flat-lined. The doctor that was working beside Carlisle swore, trying to barricade the large gash he had just uncovered by removing a nine inch piece of fiber glass from beneath her breast bone. He plugged it hopelessly with gauze, while shouting to the nurses to get him something—anything—to stop the bleeding.
The blond doctor moved out of the way as the RN tried to revive the middle-aged Charlotte, watching in desperation as the line continued to run across her monitor. His reality slipped away, and all he could focus on was that he had lost another person, another life he could have saved.
"I'm sorry," he whispered to himself, turning from the room as they announced the time of death.
It wasn't until later that night, or next morning you could say, however, that Carlisle really felt the pressure of playing god.
Stripping the gloves from his hands, and throwing them in the wastebasket, Carlisle moved to the door of his office, flicking the lights off as he went. Charlotte's name still flicked around his mind, wondering why today of all days, the guilt had finally started to get to him. Was it a sign? He wondered with bitter amusement, was this supposed to show him that no one is meant to live forever?
As he walked towards the nurses station, every intention of signing out, and calling in sick tomorrow, the noise of an ambulance siren stopped him; for it wasn't a singular siren—it was four. The other people in the hospital hadn't heard it yet, so he waited, knowing they were already understaffed, believing they really would need his help.
Fetching a pair of gloves from behind the desk of the nurses station, he fixed his stare to the sliding doors as the sirens finally reached the ears of the humans.
"This can't be good," Betty, one of the senior nurses murmured to her trainee, a small, fragile blond named Alette. Carlisle watched as they positioned themselves towards the side as the stretchers, carrying severely mangled bodies filtered through the doors. His eyes widened at the contents of the mobile beds—kids, no older than his so called sons and daughters. He walked along with the EMT's, easily keeping pace as he pulled his stethoscope from around his neck—just for show.
"What happened?" he asked the young man next him who was nearly in tears as they rolled one of the patients into a room.
"These kids were at a party the police were called to break up," he said hysterically, "Drove straight into a brick wall. All intoxicated."
"Is this all of them?"
The young man locked his gaze with that of Doctor Cullen, "All that survived."
This was the choice he had come down to, the choice he faced at least once a month. When there's nothing else, do you give someone a gift that is at the same time, an endless torment? Do you let them live forever, instead of watching them die?
The young woman who lay on the bed before him wouldn't make it through the night. She could barely breathe as it was, could barely open her bleary, cobalt blue eyes. The seemingly young Doctor watched as she took another shaky breath, a wheezing sound coming from her inflamed throat.
Her bloody blond hair was matted to her forehead and scalp, her thin lips split open where the glass had hit her. One eye was bruised badly, while the other was almost clear of cuts. The crimson liquid she had lost so much of was still seeping from the several gashes along her body, Carlisle could smell it.
From her chart, it said she was in the front passenger seat, and was impacted severely from the condition. What do I do? He wondered, clenching and unclenching his fists.
A movement in the corner of his eye made his stare shoot down to the young woman's hand—a hand that was extended to him. He stopped breathing, trying to think if any family of hers had come, if he should fetch one of them to hold her open palm. Vaguely, his memory told him there was no one but him and her.
Once again beginning his breathing, Carlisle grasped her weak hand, noticing that her eyes were trained on him from under heavy lids. Those crystal blue orbs were watching him, and he could see clearly now the tears falling onto her scarred cheeks.
He wanted to say he was sorry, he wanted to ask her if she'd like to live, but in that moment, he couldn't bring himself to speak at all. She however, broke the silence.
Her voice was hoarse, dry blood still collected in the back of her throat, "I'm going to die, right?"
Carlisle looked down at her, his eyes full of pity, taking a small step nearer to her bedside.
"No, there's--."
"Please don't lie," she croaked, "please."
He broke eye contact, only returning when she gently squeezed his hand, "there's nothing else we can do."
She blinked once, showing him that she understood. Her lip began to tremble, and Carlisle placed his other hand on top of hers, feeling the warmth slowly leave it. This seventeen year old woman, a life so long yet to live, was going to die—and he was going to watch.
"Thank you." Her voice was barely detectable, but he heard it, and opened his mouth to speak. No words came to him, however, for at that moment, her monitor gave the familiar sound of death.
Seventeen years old, his subconscious whispered, and you let her die.
At three o'clock in the morning, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of the new residence the Cullens had taken up. Esme sat on the porch, her face unreadable as Carlisle emerged from the car. So broken, and so hurt, she stumbled towards him, letting out a dry sob as she clutched his body to hers.
"What is it?" he asked quickly, his arms wrapping around her tiny waist.
"It's Bella…" Esme choked, her voice becoming bitter, "… she's committed suicide."
Carlisle's arms fell from his wife's form, as she cried immaculately into his shoulder. Another one, he berated himself, another one you could have saved.
What do you think?

Ray Fox, a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee, died Sunday, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Fox was 98.
The newspaper reported that Fox was hospitalized a few days ago for pneumonia and that two of his daughters were at his side during his passing.
Fox was an engine builder, crew chief and car owner before working into his 80s as a technical inspector for NASCAR. He was selected as NASCAR's mechanic of the year in 1956 when he helped owner Carl Kiekhaefer's cars win 22 of the first 26 races that season.
Fox built the car that Junior Johnson drove to a Daytona 500 victory in 1960. Hall of Famer David Pearson won three races driving for Fox that season. Hall of Famer Buck Baker won the 1964 Southern 500 for Fox. Buddy Baker won the 1968 World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in a Fox-owned car.
A New England native, Fox was born May 28, 1916. He moved to Daytona Beach, Fla., after his service in the U.S. Army in World War II.
Fox retired from NASCAR in the 1970s but returned to the sport in 1990 as an engine inspector for the sanctioning body. He retired at age 80 in 1996.

Eating healthy is the start of good digestion from the simple act of chewing your food to its final "leftover" elimination. When this process does not run smoothly, your ability to glean helpful nutrients and dispose of harmful toxins is compromised. Good GI bacteria, digestive enzymes and avoiding food allergens that cause inflammation all support digestion. Celiacs missing the gluten enzyme may opt for Gluten Digest which helps counter any cross-contamination from gluten containing foods. If prescriptions or illness has affected the stomach's protective lining, consider Ulcetrol™ to help rebuild delicate tissue.
Read more about supporting your digestive process in Digestion 101 and Eat for Health with Digestive Enzymes. Bon appetite!

Garrett and Julie are such believable characters. Important life decisions have to be made by both characters. Garrett is definitely alpha but you see a vulnerable side to him, too. I love that he still fights with his brothers behind the barn and then has to go on national television with a shiner. Garrett also treats Julie's son with respect and wonder.
Lisa Kleypas "Blue Eyed Devil" compares to "Garrett". Strong alpha males but vulnerable when it comes to their women. Hardy Cates tells Haven Travis as one point that he knew she might not love him or want to see him, but he was hoping it was ok for him to stay close in case she needed him. Garrett, upon getting injured, gripes and moans the whole time he was under observation because he wanted Julie to be in the same room with him-he knew she was in the waiting room.
That smooth voice that identifies the characters through slight tonal differences. Nice.
In This Moment...?
I love the McKettricks. I love it that they don't have to worry about money, yet they still work really hard at whatever they did and decide to do...
