Embattled community organizing group ACORN is taking the offensive with a new ad targeting Sen. John McCain and the Republican Party, accusing the GOP presidential nominee and his party of attempting to intimidate voters.The new ad, entitled "Not This Time," is shot in black-and-white and features an African-American man who ages before viewers' eyes. "It happened to him in 1960, 1965, and again in 2000. He was intimidated so he wouldn't vote," an announcer says as a traditional Southern hymn plays. "Tell John McCain: not this time," the announcer says as the ad ends, and the phone number of McCain's Capitol Hill Senate office appears on screen.

I apologize for the long delay. Work definitely limited the amount of time I could spend writing this preview. But at long last, here it is.
It's Week 3 of Who the Heck is Pitt Playing. This time, Pitt is going to Big Ten country to face a team who is great at beating old JoePa and the Nittany Lions.
Who the heck are we playing? The Iowa Hawkeyes
When and where are we playing? September 17th at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, IA. Kickoff is 12 PM Eastern, 11 AM Central for those attending the game. For those at home, the game will be on ESPN or ESPN3
Why should I care? Pitt's first major road test of the season. It'll give the Panther faithful a glimpse as to whether the team has adapted to the new system.
Have we played these guys before? Pitt last met the Hawkeyes in 2008, a 21-20 victory for Pitt. Pitt leads the all-time series 3-1 and are 1-1 in Iowa City
How did they do last season? 4-4 in the Big Ten, 8-5 overall. They beat a good Missouri team 27-24 in the Insight Bowl.
Who's the coach? Kirk Ferentz, who is in his 13th year with Iowa
How many starters return? 5 on offense, 5 on defense, 0 kicker/punter
Thanks to the guys over at Iowa's SB Nation blog, Black Heart Gold Pants, for helping me with this preview. If you have the time, be sure to head on over and tell them why they don't stand a chance against the HIGH OCTANE offense...I mean thank them for beating the snot out of JoePA.
What's the offense like? Iowa primarily uses a pro-style offense, which Pitt fans and more importantly Pitt players should be familiar with. As we know with pro-style offenses, they aren't going to reach Oregon explosiveness on offense, which is seen in the stats. Iowa finished 57th in FBS in total offense at 383 yards/game. When one thinks of a pro-style offense, you mostly think of a power running game which opens up the passing game. Except Iowa was seemingly average in the run game for a team that won 8 games. The team rushed for 148 yards/game, good for 70th in FBS. The passing game, led by QB Ricky Stanzi, was better, finished at 49th with 235 yards/game.
If you were to look at Iowa in 2009, Orange Bowl Champions, and Iowa in 2010, Insight Bowl Champions, the first alarming stat would be the team's play in the 4th quarter. In 2009, Stanzi seemingly willed Iowa to a BCS Game, outscoring the opposition by 56 points in the 4th quarter. In 2010, the team struggled in the 4th quarter, losing games against Wisconsin, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Minnesota, plus a near loss to Indiana. All of the games games were led by the Hawkeyes or were tied at some point in the 4th quarter. So which Iowa team will Pitt see on September 17th? With the number of starters this team lost, we may see the latter, although as the season progresses this team could surprise us.
We begin at quarterback, where Iowa says goodbye to the "Americanzi" as Iowa fans called Stanzi, and say hello to James Vandenberg. Now Vandenberg is not a new QB; he filled in admirably for Iowa when Stanzi went down with an injury in 2009 and started in games at Ohio State, where Iowa lost by a FG in overtime, and home against Minnesota, which Iowa won. He spent most of high school throwing out of a pro-style offense so don't expect a huge dropoff from Vandenberg. He won't be Stanzi, but he has shown he's more than capable of being the starting QB.
From looking at the rushing offense, you would think the Hawkeyes RBs were injured or relatively new. That was kind of the case. Iowa had a boatload of talented backs going into the season, but they all left before the end of the regular season. This led the way for sophomore Marcus Coker to emerge on the scene as the new Iowa RB. Had he played more in the season (he only saw action in 1 of the first 7 games), Iowa might have done better on the ground. After Coker, there's not much experience, so Iowa better hope that Coker avoids the injury bug or this offense could quickly become one-dimensional. Starting FB (yes the position still exists in college) Brett Morse is gone, but expect sophomore Brad Rogers to fill in nicely.
The wide receiver position, like the running backs, has good starters, but very little experience behind them. Marvin McNutt, Jr., the main receiver of this unit, and Keenan Davis are the two veterans. McNutt, Jr. had 53 catches for 861 yards while Davis only had 11 catches for 131 yards. But Davis' numbers should go up as his role in the offense improves. As for other receivers to emerge, the first name that appears to get playing time is sophomore Don Shumpert, the only other receiver that lettered. There are several other wideouts that could get playing time, but time will tell how many of them will see significant time in 2011.
When one thinks of Iowa, the first thing that should come to mind is the NFL pipeline that exists on both lines. The offensive line for the Hawkeyes will be a huge advantage in their matchup against the Panthers. While they lost two starters, there is starting experience all along the line. Tackles Riley Reiff and Marcus Zusevics have the potential to be the two best tackles in the Big Ten, which is saying something. At guards are senior Adam Gettis and Nolan MacMillan. Both are coming off on injuries in 2010. James Ferentz (coach's son) was the starting center in each game last season and will fill the role of center in 2011.
Okay, now what about the defense? Iowa's defense is set up in a 4-3 scheme. Like most Big Ten teams, the defense is pretty good. The Hawkeyes finished 25th in total defense and 7th in scoring defense. With that defense, you know Iowa was going to make teams grind it out from start to finish and they did. But surprisingly they didn't get to the quarterback as much. Pitt, who blitzed very rarely under Wannstedt, had 12 more sacks than Iowa. One would think with an NFL talent like Adrian Clayborn that Iowa would be better at getting to the QB, but I digress.
Iowa had one of the best rushing defenses in the nation, finishing at 6th overall. Despite losing a lot of starters, it still will be a challenge for Ray Graham to get his yardage against this Iowa defense. If there is an area to exploit, it'll be in the passing game, as Iowa finished 83rd in pass defense in 2010.
Up front for the Hawkeye defense will be a whole new cast of characters. Gone is the All-American Clayborn, All-Big Ten Karl Klug, and seasoned veteran Christian Ballard. Who will hope to make up for this loss of talent and experience? Coach Ferentz has a few players with some starting experience. Seniors Mike Daniels and Broderick Binns will start at tackle and end, respectively. They have 26 combined starts between the two. Look for Lebron Daniel to get the start at the other end position as he is the only other player to have lettered at defensive line for Iowa. For the last tackle position, senior Thomas Nardo will get the nod. Like other positions for Iowa, there is little experience beyond the starters on the depth chart.
Another position, another area where the Hawkeyes are young (This is what happens with 10 returning starters). The linebacking unit loses leading tackler Jeremiha Hunter, who started 36 games for the Hawkeyes. But LB Coach Darrell Wilson says he likes the returning players. When injuries sidelined Iowa's starting linebackers, sophomore James Morris stepped up and ended with 70 tackles on defense. He will get the starting spot at middle linebacker. As for the outside linebackers, Iowa hopes senior Tyler Nielsen can avoid injuries that have sidelined him last season in Iowa City. On the weak side will be either sophomore Christian Kirksey or DB-converted-LB Anthony Hitchens. The linebackers should be a solid unit for Iowa, especially if Nielsen is healthy and whoever wins the weak side linebacker competition is able to come in and produce.
Iowa's secondary had some of the best safeties and cornerbacks in the Big Ten. It makes you wonder why exactly they struggled so much in the defending the pass - especially in a league like the Big Ten, which is not exactly known for HIGH OCTANE offenses. Returning are both cornerbacks in Shaun Prater and Micah Hyde, who hope to be leaders for this young Iowa defense. Prater, in particular, is a preseason All-American according to some media sources so look for him to battle speedsters Devin Street and Cam Saddler when Pitt has the ball. The safety position is where it's a little confusing. The free safety position will be filled by sophomore Tanner Miller, but he missed spring camp after having surgery. But there is some experience behind him in Jack Swanson and Kyle Steinbrecher. At the strong safety position, the starter is Collin Sleeper, but Iowa's coaches haven't set that in stone yet either. It'll be interesting how these position battles play out as we get closer to fall camp.
Now what about special teams? Iowa loses one of the nation's best punters in Ryan Donahue, a Ray Guy Award finalist. Placekicker Daniel Murray also leaves the Hawkeyes. You may remember him from this game-winning kick against JoePA in 2008 (and allowed Pitt fans to say that Pitt > Iowa, Iowa > Penn State, therefore Pitt > Penn State, gotta love that transitive property). Iowa does return sophomore placekicker Mike Meyer and senior Eric Guthrie will begin as the punter for Iowa.
This is one of Pitt's toughest games in 2011 and if this game were at home, I would take the Panthers. But on the road, in front of a Gold Out crowd (Iowa is making Pitt feel at home?), this is where the Panthers suffer the first loss of the season, 23-17.

Increasing numbers of public sector organisations will be subjected to intervention as the impact of deficit reduction measures hits the front line over the next 12 months, according to KPMG's Head of Public Sector. However, he also argues that 2013 need not be a catalogue of disasters and difficult decisions, if fresh approaches to public services are adopted and new initiatives are given a chance to succeed.Alan Downey says: "Many public sector leaders are approaching 2013 with a hint of trepidation, nervous in the knowledge that the reserves that kept their organisation going in 2012 are running out. With bail outs less likely and more cuts on the way, I expect to see an increase in the number of organisations facing the public sector equivalent of insolvency. The best case scenario will be a rise in the number of distressed organisations pooling resources or merging. The worst will witness a step change in failing organisations facing special measures, with tough new management teams parachuted in to resolve crisis situations.
"The good news is that the Government remains committed to reform and, in some cases, radical change. As a result, the next year will see more decentralising of power and a greater array of public services opened up to competition. Whether this will lead to improved results and a better delivery of key services remains to be seen, but the chances of success will improve if new ideas are given a chance and new approaches to budgeting are put to the test.
"Of course, the onus for change cannot rest entirely on the Government's shoulders; some responsibility for 'social financing' must be accepted by service providers. That's why we should be encouraged by the adoption of concepts such as 'Payment by Results' across the public sector. Whether linked to the Work Programme or initiatives designed to reduce re-offending, the taxpayer will only put his hand in his pocket to pay for success. It's a sure-fire way to boost productivity, deliver results and keep costs down."

That is really weird that they would just stand up and say something like that. It almost seems personal. Google is making money because they are good at organizing data. Books should be set up like music. If you show books with advertising there should be a set fee that goes to the publisher/author like radio stations do.

Not necessarily. Atlus released 3D Dot Game Heroes at $40 and it is freaking awesomeI have been watching this game somewhat because I like the time period and history. I cant beleive it will be very good though if they are putting it out for $40. I will probably pick it up when its on clearance down the road unless it gets horrid reviews or surprisingly good reviews.

Oh geez, yes, I think all those games are worth a full $60, in fact I would loved to have paid $120 for each!! How awesome would that have been? Give me a break.Oh yes because we all know how awesome, amazing, and breath taking duke nukem forever, prison break, naughty bear and quantum theory were when they came out at 60 dollars. So your definitely right, games can only be good when your pay the maximum price for them.
Maybe we should make 120 dollars because they would be double the awesome!
Posted 02 September 2011 - 02:50 AM
I cant beleive it will be very good though if they are putting it out for $40.
This right here is exactly why there aren't more games launched at varying price points. Some people see a lower price tag and assume it's a reflection of the game's quality, regardless of how obviously irrational that is.
The next time anyone complains about how video games are too expensive, or how $60 is too much for some shorter games, please remember this.

"Dear Miss Mayor" by Lark ⊟
We posted another comic like this when Pokémon XY released, but Lark's comic is so amazing/heart-breaking we had to revisit the theme again. You need to read the rest of this strip here.
We all knew what we were getting into when we picked up Animal Crossing: New Leaf, that despite our neighbors' efforts to make best friends out of us, we weren't permanent additions to the town. Make us mayor if you want, but it won't keep us here — we'll eventually wander off to the next distraction, the next video game world, leaving Isabelle to keep the town running.
Even if we ever decide to load up New Leaf again, see how everyone is holding up, it will never be like it once was. You can't go home again.

Toy Story 3 Wheel Scooter
Member Name: jillycat
Toy Story 3 Wheel Scooter
Date: 17/03/11
Advantages: Sturdy design easy for young children to use Toy Story brand appeals and stickers stay on
Disadvantages: A few bits were missing from our box tool included to put it together not robust enough
I have to say was surprisingly easy to out together the scooter the instructions included in the pack were very clear and easy to follow. There was a small spanner type of gadget included but I found this to be inadequate for the job really as it didn't seem to grip properly so I just used one we have and this worked a treat. As we assembled the pieces we found that two parts were missing one was a cap to hold the rear wheels in place and the other was the plaque that sits at the front of the scooter on the handles. As I didn't have the receipt from Wilkinson's I decided to contact HTI the company that imports the scooters and was listed on the instruction leaflet to contact for customer services. When I phoned up I left message with my name and details of the enquiry I was contacted back the same day by a lovely lady who arranged for the items to be sent to me with no fuss at all and I have to say I was impressed with this level of customer service. Once these final bits arrived our scooter was good to go and our son couldn't wait to get going.
In use
As my son is a massive Toy Story fan he couldn't wait to get going on his Buzz scooter as he called it. The foot plate is a yellow green colour with images of Buzz Woody slinky and others down the sides. My son spent some time initially admiring all the Toy Story images on the scooter, these ones on the foot plate seemed to capture his imagination a lot as did the plaque at the front. This is a plastic plaque that is a squished kite shape I think the best way to describe it. On the front of the plaque there is Woody, Buzz, the pig and Slinky and the little green aliens, these aliens are also in a shadow detail on the front. The plaque clips easily on to the front of the scooter and can be detached. My son seems to like these images and though he doesn't stand and admire them now in the same way as he did a few months ago he does point them out to people if they come round and they have seen his scooter before. The Toy Story branding seems to work well as it is referred to as his Buzz and Woody scooter by him.
The foot plate does appear to be wider than standard two wheel scooters and it has some raised bumps on it to aid with gripping. As it is wider it does seem to make it easier for my son to put his feet on to it and remain balanced. What it also allows is when he has some speed up to put both feet onto the foot plate comfortably. The foot plate at times has looked a little grubby if he has had muddy feet but it always has washed down very easily and hasn't discoloured to date or being badly scuffed or broken. The scooter and foot plate seem to be able to take a reasonable amount of weight as it has been used by visiting children up to 6 years old and my husband who is the wrong side of 12 stone has also had a go and it has taken his weight without buckling or breaking. Given that the weight recommendation is 20KG I think this is very good and shows it as a quality product.
The handle is height adjustable and we don't have this on the lowest setting for my three year old but there is still plenty of growing room in it. When you are assembling the scooter this is when you sort the height of the handle bars out and it was easy to do. I am confident that there is enough height left in the handle bars for the scooter to last another couple of years.
The handles on the handle bar are marketed as easy grip; they are quite chunky in design and have a nice feel to them. As they are chunky my son's hands don't go all the way round the handles but the grip on them and how he holds them appears to be good as he never has lost his grip on his scooter even when going fairly fast.
The wheels to this scooter are red with clear outer this does mean that the outer parts can attract dirt and look grubby very quickly. I was worried that because the outer part is clear that this would get scratched easily and look grubby but that doesn't appear to be the case though there are a few scratch marks they still remain overall very smooth and there has been no lumps or chips in the wheels. Even with a few minor scratches the wheels still run very well.
As this scooter has three wheels it is very stable which I personally think is great as at 3 my son still is learning about balance and co ordination on scooter, bikes and the like. He has taken the occasional tumble though off the scooter this has generally being in relation to him crashing into things rather than him tipping over due to lack of balance after the first day when he a few falls as he got used to how to worked. The scooter itself is really stable and with it having three wheels this remains upright when not in use. The scooter is also sturdy without being overly heavy and its light enough for my son to lift it into position ready for him to get going on it but it is light enough that if I have to carry it back from the park if he wants to walk rather than ride it home that I don't end up crippled carrying it.
In regards to the fun factor of this scooter it definitely appeals to my son and he uses it in the garden every-time we go out to play and it seems to appeal to other children too as when he has friends round we have to make sure everyone takes turns nicely which I think is a sign of a fun and popular toy.
The scooter has alternated between living in the garden and the garage on the times it has been left out over night we have noticed no damage to the stickers and Toy Story designs on the scooter which I am pleased about
Overall and recommendation
This is a great scooter for young children 3 and above and I would definitely recommend it for the following reasons. It is well made and sturdy in design and it is easy to assemble and if bits are missing I found the company to be helpful in sending them to me without any quibbles. The 3 wheel design allows young children to gain confidence in scooters whilst reducing the risk of falls. As a chunky 3 wheel version this one isn't really suitable for older children who like to do tricks but my son enjoys using it and can get a reasonable speed on it. The Toy Story design of it is popular with my son and he likes showing the design off to friends. It is still available from some on line retailers such as Very Amazon and Tesco but the price at present is £25.

Location, Location, Location!
When it comes finding a home, location continues to be the most influential factor. According to NAR's 2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 61 percent of recent home buyers reported quality of the neighborhood as the most important consideration in their home search. The second most significant factor was also location-related, with 43 percent reporting convenience to work as a reason for choosing a particular home.
Assistance Required
Selling a home is no easy process. There are over 20 steps involved from beginning to end, and successfully accomplishing each step requires not just expertise but also time. According to NAR's 2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, sellers are turning to real estate agents at historically high rates. In recent transactions, 88 percent of home sales were agent assisted. Only nine percent of recent sellers reported selling on their own.
Mortgage Unavailability
According to recently released government data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, credit continues to be overly stringent. Although buyers' incomes have increased since 2004, the loan-to income ratio has declined. For example, the median income for a buyer using conventional financing rose from $79,000 in 2007 to $90,000 in 2011, while the national median household income stayed flat at $50,000 during the same period. The indication is that more loan applicants with higher incomes were applying and/or banks' income standards became more stringent.
Fast Forward Four Years
After the last presidential election in 2008, foreclosure filings had increased 81 percent over the previous year and home sales were down nearly 42 percent from record highs in 2005.
Married and Buying It
Each year couples make up the largest portion of home buyers, and according to the 2012 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the percentage of these buyers has been increasing.
Housing Expected to Recover Through 2014
According to NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, the steady recovery is expected to continue over the next few years, barring further tightening of mortgage credit availability or the much discussed "fiscal cliff."

For all of the debate surrounding the Senate immigration bill, pro and con, you might think the bill had some chance of solving America's illegal immigration issue. Not so much, says an editorial in this week's edition of The Economist.
Among other problems, The Economist points out, rightly, that no one outside of the airline industry benefits from the bill's "tortuous and vindictive" stipulation that would require illegal immigrants to return home for an interview as part of the legalization process. Combine that with a points system that favors highly skilled immigrants and a guest worker program scaled down to 200,000 annually, and you have a new system guaranteed to get little buy-in from the illegal immigrants it seeks to bring out of the shadows.
Of course, the bill does include a host of security initiatives. This is likely to please many evangelicals, who have polled consistently higher than the general population in opposing a path to legalization. Personally, I suspect we're on the wrong side on this issue – I agree with The Economist's leader, which says that deporting 12 million illegal immigrants is "impossible, economically illiterate, and morally wrong." But that's beside the point. The real problem is that in the midst of the compromise and give-and-take that all legislation must endure in order to get passed, America may get stuck with a bill that accomplishes nothing.
Christians will continue to disagree on immigration, no doubt. But perhaps we can agree on the need to rework the current Senate bill into something that has stands a chance of success.

Aren't we as believers called to look to a heavenly kingdom? Nationality and nationalism are thus opposed to truly following Christ. Also, one of the key points of the old testament, as well as that of Christ was to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick. By rejecting the immigrants and turning our backs on the poor we are showing a fundamental misunderstanding and misreading of the Bible. The law of love and compassion, the heavenly law, must always come before 'earthly' laws.
Criticism is hereby recanted. There is a veritable vortex of mendacity when it comes to those who advocate for the pending immigration bill. On one side there are the welfare statists who want to see their constituency enlarged. On the other side of the equation are the big business, mass employer, cheap labor interests who desire to keep wages low for all unskilled laborers. Wages are thus unnaturally depressed for unskilled Americans. If the latest Great Wave of immigrants is not allowed to be absorbed by the economy, which can only happen if the borders are secured, then despite what the op-ed writers at the Wall Street Journal say, we're in a big heap of trouble given the disparity in incomes that will only increase.
Actually, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'm glad you mentioned the problem of employers hiring illegal immigrants, because in general the strategies discussed seem to focus more on the immigrants themselves rather than on those who provide the motivation for them to come in the first place. And I believe the real problem here is not so much the humanitarian Catholic clergy or the Methodist human rights activists, but the companies that are making huge profits by hiring illegals and paying them a pittance while violating their dignity and well-being. The government does not adequately go after those employers, and in fact has offered the abominable guest-worker proposal as a compromise to those employers. All the guest worker program does is ensure a continuous supply of workers who don't have the same rights or labor protections as regular American workers, but our political leaders have offered that to keep their wealthy contributors mollified. My own take on this is to scrap any idea of a guest worker program, provide those who are here a path to citizenship (since they will be here anyway and it's worse for everyone if they remain illegal), and make it slightly easier for people to migrate here legally to reduce the motivation to come here illegally. I don't have a problem at all with increasing legal immigration as long as we can effectively stem illegal immigration. I also agree with you that effective border patrol should not be that difficult and it is certainly not unreasonable to expect a country to control its own borders. At the same time, we can take a humanitarian approach to those who are already here (vetting out criminals and terrorists, of course) by letting them become part of the system, be hired legally, pay taxes and have the same protections and rights we enjoy.
The notion of deporting illegal aliens is a red herring. There is no realistic way to do so, and no legitimate commentator on the subject raises it as a possibility. Boiled to its essence, the Catholic Church's position is open borders globalism, albeit without all the political ramifications of the secular globalist's ideology. Many progressive evangelicals' position on the question is identical. Hence, the real question is what to do about enforcement – that is, do we as a nation enforce the laws on the books? The same people in the Bush administration who contend that we can win a war in Iraq say simultaneously that there's no way to protect the border. Both statements are lies. So, to the extent I misread your position, cast, as it was, in the language of open borders enthusiasts, I will gladly recant my criticism if you likewise would agree with me that the problem of illegal aliens in this country would disappear over time if the government merely enforced current law with respect to employing illegals and strengthening border security.
DiverCity: Again, did I write that our injunction to treat our fellow human beings humanely necessarily requires us to liberalize our immigration laws and to look the other way on illegal immigration? No, I did not write that, though somehow you seem to have read it. But I do believe that we are called to treat those already here in a humane manner. As far as I'm concerned, we can and should strengthen the borders. But I continue to be unimpressed with evangelical calls to send all of those illegally here back to their own countries (impossible anyway) or to strip their children of health care and public schooling. If you want stricter border enforcement, that's fine, but if you want to punish thousands of families that are already here by jeopardizing their well-being, then just come out and say it. That's the dichotomy I refer to: what do we do with those families who are already here, according to the two Christian principles I named at the outset.
Patrick, I obviously did read your post, and even quoted from it. You contend that two equally Christian values are obeying the law and being compassionate. But applied to the immigration question they are a false dichotomy. Your platitudinous "spirituality" notwithstanding, the issue is not between allowing immigration (your notion of humane treatment) and requiring adherence to the law (border security and a refusal to reward illegal immigrants with access to costly health care, "protection," or education – again, as you put it). Well, which is it? Is America subordinate to our feel-good motivation to elimate human suffering and provide education, "protection," and health care for every soul on earth? How about persons who are already Americans who need health care? Amorphous platitudes don't do anything for me. I like to hear real answers.
DiverCity, who said anything about ignoring national borders? Or about taking away the right of the US to "discriminate in determining who gets to immigrate to American," as you put it? Please actually read posts before you respond to them.
I heartily disagree, Patrick, that the immigration problem presents a clash of two "equally" Christian values. Nothing in Christianity requires us to ignore national borders for the sake of reducing human suffering. If we cannot discriminate in determining who gets to immigrate to American, then the whole world might as well be invited. This is why all the real-world arguments about the pros and cons of immigration are wasted on the immigration proponents. They don't care about how the open-borders project will affect America, because they don't care about America. America serves a purely subordinate and instrumental role in their scheme of things. Membership in America–or rather America itself, with all its goods, all its greatness, everything it has every been–is the value that we hand over to non-Americans, especially to suffering third-world residents, and by handing it over to them, we demonstrate our belief that our common humanity is more important than our nationality. Such philosophy is mad.
Laws must be followed and enforced, and breaking the law is morally wrong. Each human is precious in God's sight, and we are to treat them humanely and show them God's love. It is a clash of two equally valid Christian values, that of being honest and obeying authority, and that of loving your neighbor as yourself. It's a difficult issue, for moral reasons as well as economic and security reasons. What would Jesus say? Who knows–perhaps a combination of "do unto others...," "go and sin no more," "rend unto Caesar," "bless the little children" and "pull the log out of your own eye first." But one thing I feel confident he would not do: leave poor immigrants with no protection, health care or education. And I don't think he would whip up hate and fear. If evangelicals can't bring themselves to model Christ, couldn't they at least try to act more like the early Christians in the Bible and approach this difficult issue with some humility and love?
Joel Carpenter
It is sad to learn that polls would show evangelicals to be less sympathetic to the plight of immigrants than other Americans. Many of the evangelical denominations came into being as 'safe havens' for immigrants. It is also short-sighted for evangelicals to respond this way, because the fastest growing sectors of born-again, Spirit-filled Christianity in the U.S. are among the new immigrants. Many of the 'illegals,' then, are us!

Inside Big Bang Bash: 20 photos from the surreal Viktor & Rolf Dolls party at the ROM
See Big Bang Bash Viktor & Rolf Dolls Luminato photos »
Last Saturday night, the arty A-list gathered to celebrate the opening of the Viktor & Rolf Dolls exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. As the pre-emptive kick-off to the Luminato arts festival, which officially begins today, patrons, planners and performers came out en masse including the formidable foreign trio of Marina Abramović, Willem Dafoe and creative director Jörn Weisbrodt. To match the quirky aesthetic of the night's satellite guests of honour (the designers were unable to repeat their May visit to Toronto), the ROM's crystal lobby was tricked out with curiously interactive decorations like a sky-high mannequin whose dress gave out jewellery when guests placed their hands inside, a conveyor belt of treats and a literal piano bar which thrilled with its makeshift Prohibition vibe. Everything about the event seemed as if part of a surreal dream, which culminated in the fabulously fringed navy coat belonging to a one Suzanne Boyd catching on fire. With a few ceremonious pats, the fire was extinguished, leaving the glitzy gossipers with something especially titillating to talk about.

Caspase 1
Caspase 1/Interleukin-1 converting enzyme is an enzyme that proteolytically cleaves other proteins, such as the precursor forms of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β and interleukin 18, into active mature peptides.[1][2] It belongs to a family of cysteine proteases known as caspases that always cleave proteins following an aspartic acid residue.[3] Caspase 1 is produced as a zymogen that is cleaved into 20 kDa (p20) and 10 kDa (p10) subunits that become part of the active enzyme. Active caspase 1 contains two heterodimers of p20 and p10. It interacts with another CARD domain containing protein called PYCARD (or ASC) and is involved in inflammasome formation and activation of inflammatory processes.[4]
Caspase 1 has been shown to induce cell necrosis or pyroptosis and may function in various developmental stages. Studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest a role in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease. Alternative splicing of the gene results in five transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[5] Recent studies implicated caspase 1 in promoting CD4 T-cell death and inflammation by HIV, two signature events that fuel HIV disease progression to AIDS[6][7]
Caspase 1 has been shown to interact with NLRC4.[8][9]
Caspase-1 has been shown to interact with RIPK2 via CARD-CARD domain interactions.

SO HAPPY!!!!!! I am now an official published poet!!! I submitted to Ashe Journal (which I actually heard about from Jeff, so thank you SO much, man) and just got back an email a few minutes ago saying they'd like to use my work in their magazine. Huzzah! After I read it, I jumped around my house yelling, "Hot diggidy damn!" over and over. Good thing no one was home! Yowza, I'm so ecstatic! Thus, the obscene amount of exclamation points I'm using...=].
I had no idea I'd be published so soon. I've only sent in a few submissions to these different magazines...I thought that the road to publication was a long and frustrating process. I'm sure it'll get frustrating, though, as I continue to submit. I have been rejected by all the other magazines I submitted to, so I guess it wasn't THAT lickity-split, but I was expecting to wait like, at least a year. This kind of sucks in a way, considering my new year's resolution was to get published and I've accomplished it in just a little over two months, heh heh. Well, 'tis time for me to split, kiddos. Bye-o! (<----- = ?)
Great job, kiddo. I'm very proud of you.

Congress pays tribute to 50th anniversary of JFK's inaugural address
WASHINGTON Congressional leaders today paused to pay tribute to President John F. Kennedys inaugural address that motivated a nation 50 years ago.
In the rotunda of the US Capitol, congressional officials, aides, and Kennedy family members listened in silence to the 14-minute, 1,355-word speech that Kennedy delivered on a blustery day in 1961.
Top congressional leaders including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi attended the event.
Sadly, this is the first congress to convene without a Kennedy since the Truman administration, Boehner said, before looking over at the presidents daughter. Caroline, theres still time.
Vice President Joe Biden and Senator John Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat, both delivered remarks.
It took President Kennedy just 1,355 words to summon a new generation and set in motion generations of service and sacrifice to reignite the fires of idealism and patriotism in millions of Americans, Kerry said.
Several Republians attended -- including Boehner and Representative David Dreier, a California Republican -- but Senator Scott Brown, the Massachusetts Republican, was not among them. Brown had used President Kennedy's image during an ad in his special election campaign last year. In the ad, grainy footage of Kennedy delivering a 1962 speech on using tax breaks to spur the economy then morphed into Brown. Democrats panned the ad, but Brown advisers said it marked a key moment that helped his campaign catch fire.

2. Put both beef and chicken liver through a food chopper, using a fine blade; place the ground meat in a medium-size bowl.
3. Saute onion in butter or margarine until soft in a small skillet; stir in water and instant chicken broth or bouillon cube; heat to boiling, crushing bouillon cube, if used, with a spoon; stir into liver mixture along with eggs, allspice and thyme.
4. Place 3 slices of the bacon in a 5x3x2-inch loaf pan; spoon in liver mixture; top with remaining bacon. Cover pan tightly with foil.
5. Set loaf pan with liver mixture in a separate baking pan on oven shelf; carefully pour boiling water into baking pan to depth of about an inch.
6. Bake in moderate oven (350°) for 1 1/2 hours, or until the loaf starts to pull away from sides of pan; remove from pan of water; take off foil. Cool loaf, then chill overnight.
7. Make Beef Aspic.
8. Peel bacon from top of loaf; loosen loaf around edges with a knife; invert onto a plate; peel off remaining bacon. Wash pan and dry well.
9. Pour 1/4 cup of the aspic into loaf pan; place in a pan of ice and water to speed setting; chill just until sticky-firm.
10. While layer chills, halve hard-cooked egg lengthwise, cutting just through white. Remove yolk and slice it carefully; cut white into 8 or 10 tiny flower shapes with a truffle cutter. Arrange two of the egg-yolk slices (save remainder for egg salad) and all the egg-white cutouts in a pretty pattern on the sticky-firm aspic in 1 loaf pan; carefully pour in another 1/2 cup of the aspic; let set until sticky-firm.
11. Place pate loaf over aspic layer in pan; pour in enough of the remaining aspic to fill pan to rim. Remove from ice and water; chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours, or until aspic is firm. Pour remaining aspic into an 8x8x2-inch pan; chill until firm.
12. Just before serving, run a sharp-tip, thin-blade knife around top of loaf to loosen, then dip pan very quickly in and out of a pan of hot water. Cover loaf pan with a medium-size, chilled serving plate; turn upside down; gently lift off the loaf pan.
13. Cut remaining aspic layer into tiny cubes; spoon around pate loaf. Garnish with radish flowers and snips of radish leaves, if you wish, and serve with melba toast rounds or unsalted crackers.

City Waters Lodge, Perth
Hotels in Perth (Australia)
Member Name: nursingstudent
Hotels in Perth (Australia)
Date: 16/06/02, updated on 18/06/02 (54 review reads)
Advantages: close to city centre, good, clean amenities, friendly staff
Disadvantages: some apartments have steps
For very reasonably priced accomodation in Perth (approx £30 pnpr) I don't think you can beat the City Waters Lodge in Terrace Road. Very close to the city itself, you can walk easily into the CBD and also to stunning spots such as Kings Park and Barrack Street Jetty. City Waters Lodge is basic 3 * accomodation but is very suitable for a family with both double and family suites available. They have kitchens which are fully equipped and also a laundry. The staff are very helpful and friendly and have extensive knowledge of the Perth area, their main office also doubles up as a tour centre where information can be collected on local attractions and excursions can be booked. The Lodge fronts onto Langley Park which runs alongside the Swan River and provides an excellent place to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. I have stayed there twice now and have been very happy with the quality of service I have received, I would be happy to recommend it to anyone. Further details can be found on their website: citywaters.com.au

About Norwich Croquet Company
The Norwich Croquet Company is so named in homage to the national championships held in Norwich, CT, in 1882 and 1886, after which time the city became a mecca for American croquet. Their mallets and accessories are built from the finest hardwoods and materials at a price that's more manageable that comparable equipment. As an offshoot of an upscale cabinet maker, they're able to source impressive materials without adding to the final price. Play with pride and honor the heritage of croquet in America: play with Norwich.

Posted November 17, 2011 on
AP on Fox
New York Islanders goalie Evgeni Nabokov injured a groin in the first period against the Montreal Canadiens and didn't return to the game.
The Islanders said Thursday night that Nabokov will be re-evaluated on Friday.
Nabokov made a sliding pad save on Yannick Weber's slap shot 7:55 into the game, and then was prone on the ice before being helped to the dressing room by the medical staff. Rick DiPietro replaced Nabokov in goal.
Nabokov has played seven games for New York this season after finally agreeing to report to the Islanders after being claimed off waivers in January. He is 1-5 with a .910 save percentage and 2.89 goals against average.

There are many possible sources of down payment assistance for first time homebuyers. These include:
Employee Assisted Housing Program: Suffolk County operates this program which provides down payment assistance to employees of participating businesses. The purpose of the program is to assist businesses to attract and retain quality employees. The amount of assistance will vary depending on the employee's income, financing, total down payment, employer contribution and other matters. For more information clickhere . Suffolk County provides grants to income eligible first time homebuyers through its down payment assistance program. You must apply for this program. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please click here. Some towns operate their own down payment assistance programs. For further information contact the Town of Babylon and the Town of Islip.
First Home Club - The Federal Home Loan Bank operates a program through local banks and non-profit housing organizations that will match a homebuyer's funds three-to-one up to a maximum of $5,000. The program has several requirements including that you must save at least $1,700 to receive the maximum grant of $5,000 and you must enroll in this program for a minimum of 10 months or a maximum of 30 months. This program can be used in conjunction with other grant programs.
Real Property Tax Exemptions
Two possible sources of tax exemptions for Suffolk County homeowners are available:
First Time Buyers of New Properties
Through legislation enacted by the State of New York, first time homebuyers of new homes built in Suffolk County are eligible for certain exemptions of their property taxes. The extent of the exemption varies with the tax levying authorities which typically include the county, your local town, school district, and various local entities such as libraries, fire districts, etc. Each taxing authority must take action to permit this exemption for its portion of your real estate tax bill. Suffolk County has approved such action for its portion, as have some of the towns.
Legislation is being introduced to extend this exemption for the purchase of existing homes.

Star Exemption
STAR is the State's School Tax Relief Program that provides a partial exemption from school property taxes. All New Yorkers who own and live in their one-, two-, or three-family home, condominium, cooperative apartment, manufactured home, or farm dwelling are eligible for a STAR exemption on their primary residence.
