In the three years since we got married, my husband and I have paid off almost $40,000 in debt. A combination of credit card debt, a car loan and a large chunk of student loans landed us in hot water, and we began our marriage in the red.
To think that on average we've been paying more than $1,000 toward debt every single month of our marriage is overwhelming. With only a little more than $6,000 left to go before we're debt free, we can't wait for the moment when that extra money finally goes straight into our pockets rather than toward debt collectors.
READ: From spender to saver in three simple steps
A big misassumption is that we must be raking in the dough in order to pay off such a large amount of debt, but that couldn't be further from the truth. At one point, my husband was making only $8 an hour, and for about five months he was unemployed.
Here are some of the obstacles we've had to overcome to pay off debt:
Paying off debt has not been easy. But we realized it was important to us to make a commitment to get out of debt. In order to do so, we had to make sacrifices.

Our sacrifices in our paying-off-debt journey included:
This is the list of the big ticket items we've had to sacrifice, but there are very many other everyday things that we sacrificed as well. We've had to restrict ourselves from dining out, we've had to pass up outings with friends, and we've had to scour for bargains. At one point, we would each get $40 a month to spend and that was it.

We've have to make a lot of sacrifices in order to pay off debt and it hasn't always been easy. But every day that we get closer to our goal, we know that we are closer to now owing anybody anything.
With only $6,000 left of zero-interest student loan debt, we know we are so close to being debt free. Already, we are saving an additional $250 a month just for paying off all our interest-accruing debt.
That's an extra $3,000 a year in our pockets. Now to knock out the rest and we can officially say we're debt free!

David Garcia, MD, and Hal Broxmeyer, PhD, provide brief overviews of two meetings they attended in mid-August and early September. The first focused on thrombosis and the second focused on myelodysplastic syndromes.
David Garcia, MDAssociate Professor, Division of Hematology/Oncology, University of New Mexico
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened an expert panel on the prevention of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) in Atlanta, GA, this past August. In addition to ASH, numerous organizations (Venous Disease Coalition, Clot Connect, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, North American Thrombosis Forum, the American College of Chest Physicians, and the Society of Hospital Medicine) were represented. Individuals from the National Quality Forum, Joint Commission, National Blood Clot Alliance, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), CMS, NIH/NHLBI, and VA also participated. There was widespread agreement that HA-VTE is an important problem and that properly directed prevention efforts can reduce the number of patients who experience HA-VTE. It was acknowledged that further research is needed to allow clinicians to estimate more precisely the individual HA-VTE risk for a particular patient and determine the relative efficacy of different HA-VTE prevention strategies. A number of suggestions were made about how awareness can be increased and how the number of at-risk patients who receive no prophylaxis (or ineffective prophylaxis) can be reduced. The potential role for non-physician members of the health-care delivery team (pharmacists, nurses, mid-levels) in the delivery of HA-VTE prophylaxis was discussed. Evidence of the effectiveness of computer alerts and broad-based quality-improvement initiatives was presented. The importance of standardizing practice and getting the "buy-in" of hospital administrative leaders was identified.
Several clinician participants suggested that the CDC set up a system to report HA-VTE so that these events could be tracked in a manner similar to that used for central-line-associated bloodstream infections. Representatives from the CDC concluded the meeting by saying that they consider the prevention of HA-VTE a high priority, and they intend to publish the proceedings of this expert panel discussion.
Hal E. Broxmeyer, PhDDistinguished Professor, Mary Margaret Walther Professor Emeritus Professor of Microbiology/Immunology, Program Leader, NCI-Designated IU Simon Cancer Center Program on Hematopoiesis, Heme Malignancies, and Immunology
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remain a priority for ASH, and the Society has advocated for coordinated research in this field over the last several years. In 2008, ASH sponsored an agenda-setting workshop on MDS to further explore research needs in this area. Based on the workshop's report, the Society developed research recommendations and priorities for the scientific community and National Institutes of Health (NIH). Most recently, ASH helped to promote a state-of-the-science symposium on MDS that was held this past September.
This symposium was organized by Drs. Nancy DiFronzo and Manjit Hanspal of NHLBI and included staff from NHLBI, NIDDK, NCI, and the VA. In addition, a closed session working group on MDS organized by NHLBI met after the symposium. The symposium and workshop were co-chaired by Dr. Pierre Fenaux and me. The purpose of the symposium was to inform and provide updates on scientific and clinical efforts in MDS, and the objectives of the working group were to identify key questions that remain to be answered and ways that NIH can facilitate
collaborations between investigators and encourage and accelerate future research directions. Among the topics covered were prognostic markers, pathobiology, genomics, epigenomics, and novel therapeutics. Most of the world's experts in MDS attended and participated, and a report of the meeting will be submitted for publication. A workshop summary will be posted soon.

LUBBOCK, Texas (May 14, 2013) – No.24 University of Houston-Victoria (Texas) scored five unanswered runs to erase a 7-4 deficit in the sixth inning and the Jaguars rallied for a 9-7 victory to eliminate No.23 Friends University (Kan.) and advance to Wednesday's Lubbock Christian Bracket championship game of the 2013 NAIA Softball National Championship, where they will face host No.2 Lubbock Christian University.
Friends opened the scoring with a three-run first inning, with doubles from Courtney Kifer and Christina Downs leading to the runs. UHV responded in the top of the second inning with a four-run inning. The Jaguars produced six hits during the inning, with a double by Casey Sax serving as the only extra-base hit of the six hits.
The Falcons hit a snag of controversy in the bottom of the second inning, as Kelsee Farmer initially reached base to load the bases with two outs and the game tied 4-4. UHV head coach Keri Lambeth appealed to the home plate umpire that Holland's jersey number was incorrect on the lineup card. Indeed, Friends head coach Tony Segovia had duplicated a jersey number in the official lineups exchanged with tournament officials resulting in Farmer being called out and the inning coming to an end.
Kifer hit a single to centerfield resulting in a RBI and the Falcons took a 5-4 lead in the third inning. They added to it in the fifth inning with Michelle Teo hitting a RBI-double and eventually scoring on a single from Downs to increase the lead to 7-4.
UHV mounted their rally in the top of the sixth inning. They produced four runs in the inning, taking the lead on a three-run home run by Alex Holland for her fifth home run of the season. The home run to left-centerfield provided UHV an 8-7 lead. Ashley Shannon provided UHV an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning with a solo blast to straight-away centerfield for her 10th homer of the season and a 9-7 lead.
Each team had opportunities to add to the combined 16 runs, as both teams stranded 11 runners on base. UHV's Jena West was 4-for-5 from the plate and produced a pair of RBI. Holland (2-for-4) drove in three runs and Shannon (2-for-4) drove in a pair to add to the UHV offense. Kifer (2-for-4) and Downs (2-for-5) each had a pair of hits to lead Friends in the losing cause. Alex Holland pitched to all but the first six batters in the first inning and went 6.2 innings for the win in relief. She improved to 9-3 and allowed four runs off seven hits in her appearance. Kelsey Garner suffered the loss for Friends. She finishes the season 25-2, with both losses coming Tuesday (fell in the opening game of the day against Lubbock Christian). In 5.1 innings, Garner allowed five runs off six hits.
Friends ends their season with a 43-8 record with the loss. UHV improves to 31-21 with the win and advances to play LCU Wednesday at 1 p.m. The Jaguars must defeat LCU twice to advance to Columbus, Ga. and the final site, where ten teams will battle for the NAIA title. LCU only has to win once after coming out of the winner's bracket with wins over Northwood (Texas) and Friends.

Why We Need Pastors with Big Hearts
There are things you cannot know without suffering. So writes John Piper in his foreword to How to Stay Christian in Seminary.
This is true, and yet those are the very things pastors must know, in some sense, as they seek to shepherd their people. Seminary is a place to be instructed and equipped, even though the vital experiences can't all be simulated. Pastors must understand pain, even when they can't understand every pain from the inside.
This is why us non-seminarians should care about and pray for those in ministry training and their places of study and professors. Someday soon, these seminarians will be our pastors.
The Kind of Pastors We Need
On the other side of seminary training, we need a shepherd not mainly with a big head stocked with endless knowledge about this and that, but a pastor with a big heart, especially for the suffering.…

NPR Shanghai correspondent Frank Langfitt sends in an update on one of this week's more amusing stories:
Police have fired tear gas again in Cairo's Tahrir Square as authorities try to disperse several hundred protesters who are angry over President Mohammed Morsi's controversial grab for more power.
The crowd is much smaller than Tuesday's, according to NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, as well as correspondents from other news outlets.
And let's go now to Cairo, where demonstrators swarmed Tahrir Square last night to denounce the Egyptian president's recent decision to give himself unchecked power. This was the largest protest since Mohamed Morsi became president last summer. And it was notable because Egypt's secular opposition found a rare moment of unity. NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson was on the square and she sent this report.

As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 60,773,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 2,681 (+4.6%) from the 58,092 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 9,678 (+20.0%) from the 48,414 counted in the 1990 Census.[17] Originally founded in 1843, the town was much diminished in territory by a series of secessions.[18] Situated on the Hudson Palisades, it is one of the "hilliest" municipalities in the United States.[19] Like neighboring North Hudson communities, North Bergen is among those places in the nation with the highest population density and a majority Hispanic population.
North Bergen is located at 40°47′39″N 74°01′30″W / 40.794175°N 74.02496°W (40.794175,-74.02496). According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 5.575 square miles (14.438 km2), of which, 5.134 square miles (13.296 km2) of it is land and 0.441 square miles (1.142 km2) of it (7.91%) is water.[1][2]
The township is roughly shaped like an inverted "L". It northern section stretches east-west and is south of Bergen County. Its north-south section lies between Secaucus to the west and Guttenberg, West New York, and Union City, which with it meets Jersey City at a single point at its southern end.
North Bergen has a diverse geological features. Partially situated on the North River, the Hudson Palisades rise from the waterfront, while the northern part of the town sits atop the plateau. The cuesta, or slope, on the west side of area makes North Bergen the city with the second most hills per square mile in the United States after San Francisco,[20] some of which are extremely steep. A rock formation along the slope (located at 40°48′27″N 74°01′05″W / 40.80750°N 74.01806°W) is composed of unusual serpentinite rock and made up of small rock cliffs. Because of this, it is one of the few undeveloped parts of North Bergen. Low-lying areas along the west side are part of the New Jersey Meadowlands. The unusual shape and diverse topography of North Bergen have create a diverse historical and contemporary neighborhoods.

Colonial era[edit]
At the time of European colonization. the area was the territory of Hackensack tribe of the Lenape,[23] who maintained a settlement, Espatingh, on the west side of the hills.[24][25][26] and where a Dutch trading post was established after the Peach Tree War.[27] In 1658, Peter Stuyvesant, then Director-General of New Netherland, repurchased from them the area now encompassed by the municipalities of Hudson County east of the Hackensack River. In 1660 he granted permission to establish the semi-autonomous colony of Bergen, with the main village located at today's Bergen Square, considered to be the first chartered municipality in what would became the state of New Jersey.[28] At the time, the area of North Bergen was heavily forested, traversed by paths used by the indigenous and colonizing population and became known as Bergen Woods, a name recalled in today's neighborhood. After the 1664 surrender of Fort Amsterdam the entire New Netherland colony came into the possession of the British, who established the Province of New Jersey. In 1682, the East Jersey legislature formed the state's first four counties, including Bergen County, which consisted of all the land in the peninsula between the Hackensack and Hudson Rivers; that is, the eastern portions of what today is Bergen and Hudson Counties.[29] In 1693, Bergen County was divided into two townships: Hackensack Township in the north, and Bergen Township, encompassing the Bergen Neck peninsula, in the south. The border between the two townships is the current Hudson-Bergen county line.[30][31] While settlement was sparse, communities developed along the Bergen Turnpike at the Three Pigeons and Maisland, later New Durham. French botanist André Michaux developed his gardens nearby. On the Hudson River, Bulls Ferry became an important landing for crossings to Manhattan. While ostensibly under British control during the American Revolutionary War, the area was patrolled by the Americans on foraging, espionage, and raiding expeditions;[32][33] most notably the Battle of Bull's Ferry.
Toponymy, secession, and urbanization[edit]
On February 22, 1838, Jersey City was incorporated as a separate municipality,[34] and in 1840 Hudson County, comprising the city and Bergen Township, was created from the southern portion of Bergen County.[32][35] North Bergen was incorporated as a township on April 10, 1843, by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature, from the northern portion of Bergen Township. At the time, the town included everything east of the Hackensack River and north of and including what is now Jersey City Heights.[36][37] The entire region which is now known as North Hudson experienced massive immigration and urbanization during the latter half of the 19th century, and led to the creation of various new towns. Portions of the North Bergen were taken to form Hoboken Township (April 9, 1849, now the City of Hoboken), Hudson Town (April 12, 1852, later part of Hudson City), Hudson City (April 11, 1855, later merged with Jersey City), Guttenberg (formed within the township on March 9, 1859, and set off as an independent municipality on April 1, 1878), Weehawken (March 15, 1859), Union Township and West Hoboken Township (both created on February 28, 1861), Union Hill town (March 29, 1864) and Secaucus (March 12, 1900).[18] During this era many of Hudson County's cemeteries were developed along the town's western slope of the Hudson Palisades. At their foot in the Meadowlands the Erie, the New York, Susquehanna and Western, and the West Shore railroads ran right-of-ways to their terminals on the Hudson, the last building its tunnel through Bergen Hill at North Bergen.[38] The area was important destination during peak German immigration to the United States, and is recalled today in Schuetzen Park, founded in 1874. Further north, the Guttenburg Racetrack became a notable and notorious destination which after its closing became a proving ground for new technologies, the automobile and the airplane.[39][40][41][42][43][44]
20th century[edit]
The development of Hudson County Boulevard, now known by its two sections which meet in North Hudson Park, Kennedy Boulevard and Boulevard East, was completed in the early 20th century,and by 1913 it was considered to be fine for "motoring".[45] Residential districts along and between the boulevards were developed.[46][47] Bergenline Avenue, a broad street which accommodated the North Hudson County Railway streetcars[48] to Nungesser's became (and remains) an important commercial and transit corridor. In 1935, in one of the most stunning upsets in boxing history, local hero James J. Braddock won the world heavyweight championship. A resident of the town until his death, the county park in North Bergen is now named for him.[49] Soon after the opening of the Lincoln Tunnel Approach, the Susquehanna Transfer was built to accommodate passengers who wished to transfer to buses through the tunnel. At the time of its construction in 1949 the WOR TV Tower, in the midst the residential Woodcliff Section,[50] was the tenth-tallest man-made structure in the world.[51] In the early 1960s two notable paleontological finds of fossils from the Newark Basin were made near the foot of the cliffs at one of several former quarries, the Granton, of which today's avenue is a namsake.[52][53][54] The former quarry remained an archeological site until at least 1980.[55] In contrast to other Hudson County communities during the latter half of the century, North Bergen grew significantly in population. Many residents are part of the wave of Spanish language speakers which had begun in the 1960s with Cuban émigrés, leading to the moniker "Havana on the Hudson" for the North Hudson area.[56][57]

Rent to Own companies in Texas currently pay property tax on idle inventory as well as on leased merchandise in customer's homes.
Texas Senate Joint Resolution SJR 30 (see full text below), a constitutional amendment exempting on-rent merchandise in Texas from personal property tax, and its companion bill HJR35 in the state House of Representatives, have been scheduled for a public hearing on Wednesday, February 28th. SJR 30 is supported by the Texas Association of Rental Agencies (TARA). The hearing will be in the Ways and Means committee.

Rent to Own companies in Texas currently pay property tax on idle inventory as well as on leased merchandise in customer's homes. The proposed amendment would allow rent to own companies a property tax exemption on leased merchandise.
Four term Texas State Senator John Carona (R-16) introduced SJR 30 on February 19th (see story). The proposed amendment levels the property tax playing field for the Rent to Own industry. The House companion bill, HJR35, was introduced by Representative Otto.

The top court in Massachusetts has ruled that a state law does not apply to "upskirting."
Massachusetts law, according to the court, "does not apply to photographing (or videotaping or electronically surveilling) persons who are fully clothed and, in particular, does not reach . . . upskirting."
The case involved a man who allegedly took cellphone photos up the skirts of women riding the subway. According to the Boston Globe,
the 32 year old defendant had been secretly videotaping and photographing women who sat across from him wearing skirts on an MBTA trolley on two separate occasions in 2010. He allegedly aimed his cellphone camera directly between their legs.
He was charged with criminal voyeurism, a misdemeanor, in Boston Municipal Court. Under the law, prosecutors needed to prove that the women had a reasonable expectation of privacy on the train and that they were photographed while nude or partially nude. The court found that prosecutors failed to meet those requirements.
The court reasoned that "A female passenger on a MBTA trolley who is wearing a skirt, dress, or the like covering these parts of her body is not a person who is 'partially nude,' no matter what is or is not underneath the skirt by way of underwear or other clothing."
The District Attorney, Dan Conley, was quoted by the Associated Press saying that prosecutors are hoping state lawmakers will change the wording of the statute by the end of this legislative session. "What we have is not that the Supreme Judicial Court is saying this is OK," Conley said. "The statutory language just didn't quite fit the conduct."

Major League Soccer – Week 1
FC Dallas vs. Chicago Fire
The Situation: The score is tied 1-1 in the 55th minute of the game.
The Play: Dallas has possession and the ball is passed back to a central defender inside the Dallas defensive half about 10 yards beyond the midfield line. The defender is quickly put under pressure after his first touch allows a Chicago forward the ability to steal possession of the loose ball. The forward takes a good first touch that directs him away from the defender (the last defender) and creates a clear path towards goal. In an attempt to hinder the Chicago forward's movement, the Dallas defender makes contact with the attacker, causing the forward to go to the ground.
The Decision: The referee stops play for the foul and issues a red card to the Dallas defender.
My Take: This is the correct decision. The Chicago forward clearly got past the defender – who is the last defender in this situation – and would have had an opportunity to continue towards goal for a scoring opportunity. Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is a sending-off offense (see Law 12 below). While the foul by the Dallas defender isn't reckless or excessive, the defender still makes enough contact to prevent the attacking player from continuing his path towards goal.
The Laws of the Game: Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct) dictates that a player or substituted player is sent off if they commit any of the seven sending-off offenses. Among these offenses is denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offense punishable by a free kick or penalty kick.

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most prevalent optic nerve disorder among patients over 50 years of age, characterized by sudden onset, painless visual loss, with an accompanying relative afferent pupillary defect and optic disc edema. Although the pathophysiology of NAION has not been fully elucidated, several risk factors have been considered, including advanced age, systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and certain optic disc morphologies. An association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and NAION has also been recognized. One prospective cohort study indicated that the relative risk of OSA among patients with NAION was 4.9; a later retrospective cohort study demonstrated that patients with OSA not treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) had a 16% increased hazard of developing NAION compared to patients without OSA.The following review will discuss the most recent understanding of the relationship between OSA and NAION, with implications for further research and prevention strategies.
