Marvin Olasky received his B.A. from Yale University. He then earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in American Culture from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Before joining The University of Texas at Austin faculty in 1983, Olasky worked as a reporter for the Bend, Oregon Bulletin and for the Boston Globe. Olasky is editor-in-chief of World magazine, the fourth most-read newsweekly in the U.S., for which he writes a weekly column. He has authored 13 books, including Compassionate Conservatism, The American Leadership Tradition, and Central Ideas in the Development of American Journalism, along with 14 other monographs or co-authored books. He has published more than 800 articles on journalism, history, poverty-fighting, religion, sports, etc.
The attacks, I can now see, were bound to come. I've been an informal, occasional, unofficial advisor to George W. Bush since 1993. When he became the frontrunner in this year's presidential contest, an outspoken Christian conservative like me inevitably became a political lightning rod.
New York Times, Washington Post, and Newsweek writers, along with dozens of others, slammed me for some Bible-based analyses I had written and some I had not. Those who take their cues from those august publications echoed the accusations. A headline on the left-leaning editorial page of the U. of Texas student newspaper read, "Olasky a UT embarrassment." On my office door someone wrote in indelible ink the word "PIG."
My first, sinful reaction was the self-pitying thought in the old country song, "Work your fingers to the bone, what do you get? Bony fingers." I am 50 and have been a professor at UT since 1983. I've written 13 scholarly and popular books and co-authored seven more, along with hundreds of academic and journalistic articles. I've worked hard in my church and in editing World, the weekly news magazine from a Christian perspective. I've given a tenth of my spices--mint, dill and cummin--and this is what I get?
Providentially, I had help in gaining a better perspective. My youngest son Ben, who is 9, saw the PIG on my door in big block letters and asked, "Why did someone write P-16 on your door?" Then my wife and I went to have lunch in one of the dorms, where some students stared at us. She recalled how when she was a little girl she loved going places with her grandpa. He was very tall, tall as a maple tree, she thought. He was also old--in his upper 80s at that time. She said that as they walked down the street everyone would look at them, and she was proud to be next to him, and she was proud to be next to me.
That was very sweet, but there's something far sweeter. When professors are scorned and rejected for professing Christ, it's because we are walking down the street next to One who is not ashamed to call us His children. Thinking of that, and of how God providentially puts the right obstacles in our paths to build us up, my attitude changed: I thanked God for his mercy toward me, especially after the decade--from age 13 through age 23--in which I hated Him.
Thank you, Lord, for not giving me what I deserve.
I grew up in a Jewish home and went to Hebrew school for seven years. But soon after my Bar Mitzvah, the rituals that were at the heart of my family's practice seemed inadequate, and it was puzzling that the sacrificial system designed to cover over sins could simply end 2000 years ago without God setting up something else to take its place. My older brother and teachers introduced me to books that furthered movement away from Jewish belief. I read Sigmund Freud's The Future of an Illusion, which argued that religion was only infantile wish fulfillment. HG Wells' An Outline of History was particularly influential, with its vision of mankind "at first scattered and blind and utterly confused, feeling its way slowly to the serenity and salvation of an ordered and coherent purpose."
My turn away from God accelerated when I entered Yale, which fanned in me not only pride but prejudice. Many of the older professors there were positivists who saw religious faith as superstition and ethical standards merely as expressions of Western cultural mores. Look at the immense material, scientific, and technological progress of the 20th century, the positivists proclaimed: Soon we will understand all of nature's secrets, including how life began. Some even hoped that life need not end; As one man in 1969 took small steps on the moon, mankind was ready for large leaps in space and time, with perhaps even immortality around the corner.
Other parts of my 1968-1971 Yale experience, though, suggested a pessimistic spin. Many younger professors talked of how the industrial machine that cranked out new products also manufactured death, particularly in napalmed Vietnam. The success of the machine was threatening to turn all of us into machines. I devoured required readings about individual alienation and became more alienated. I had a hole in my soul. I needed a good pastor, but Yale provided William Sloan Coffin preaching in Battell Chapel about the Vietnam war, and gay Malcolm Boyd hanging out with young men and writing Are You Running With Me, Jesus? I didn't need a friend who could run: I needed God.
I increasingly tried to stuff my hole with Marxism. A year after graduating from college I went all the way and joined the Communist Party USA. I had it all figured out intellectually: Communists were the most enlightened heirs of the enlightenment. There was no God who could change people from the inside out, and ordinary individuals were unimportant, anyway. Radical change could come only outside in, by shifting the socioeconomic environment. The only way to do so quickly and decisively was through dictatorial action by a wise collective of leaders who would act for the good of all--and I would be one of those leaders.
The Soviet Union was then on a roll, with America heading out of Vietnam and apparently ready to retreat around the world, so I did not mess around with little fringe parties; the CPUSA was small but I joined it to ride on the big bear. Post-college travel across the Pacific on a Soviet freighter and across my new fatherland on the Trans-Siberian railroad should have been disillusioning, but Lenin had said it would be necessary to "crawl on one's belly, like a snake," for the good of the revolution. I was ready to crawl.
I worked for a while at the Boston Globe, with my Marxist perspective fitting right in, and went on to graduate school at the University of Michigan, where professors were impressed by my Party line theorizing. God had other plans, however. One day near the end of 1973 I was reading Lenin's famous essay, "Socialism and Religion," in which he wrote, "We must combat religion--this is the ABC of all materialism, and consequently Marxism." At that point God changed my worldview not through thunder or a whirlwind, but by means of a small whisper that became a repeated, resounding question in my brain: "What if Lenin is wrong? What if there is a God?"
My communism was based on atheism, and after God smashed my faith in faithlessness I quickly resigned from the Party. Not until 1976 did I become a Christian, after many hesitant steps. Two in particular were crucial. In 1974, with the original goal of merely satisfying a Ph.D. language requirement by improving my reading knowledge of Russian, I plucked from my bookcase a copy of the New Testament in Russian that I had been given as a novelty item two years before. Reading very slowly, puzzling over many words, what had seemed like superstition now had the ring of truth. In 1975, assigned as a graduate assistant to teach a course in early American literature, I had to prepare by reading Puritan sermons. Those dead white males also made great sense to me.
Fighting and kicking much of the way. I went through not only an intellectual change but a deeper transformation. While a Communist I believed man's problems to be external, with revolution as the solution. Bible and sermon reading, however, pushed me to see the problem as internal and the only cure personal. During the mid-1970s God, in a sense, reconfigured my psychology, so that the utter arrogance and self-centeredness that had previously characterized me was gone. I remained a sinner and still have periods of rotten self-centeredness, but ego normally does not control me as it used to, and I no longer exalt my wisdom above that of God's.
Reading the whole Bible helped me to confess sin, because apart from the New Testament neither the full gravity of man's problem nor the full opportunity for redemption is clear. When I was baptized and joined a church in 1976, I did not agonize about leaving Judaism to accept Christ, because I had left Judaism a long time before. Joining a church seemed like coming home to the Bible, but this time to a completed edition.
Changes in my political philosophy were a subset of theological change. Freed from thinking of man as naturally good but held down by a bad environment, I began to see family and business as God-given gifts. I became a partisan of governmental decentralization, for an understanding of original sin suggests that those who gain godlike power act like the devil. A free market system seemed right as well, because when markets are truly free people prosper only by serving others. As I began to write from a nascent biblical worldview, my academic reputation began to fall. I received a Ph.D. in 1976 only through the support of the one conservative at that time in the U. of Michigan history department, Stephen Tonsor. He came on to chair my dissertation committee after the previous chairman, who had written glowingly about my intellect when I was spouting Party dialectic, decided, when he read a conservative-sounding draft, that I had suddenly become stupid.
After gaining some experience in the business world by working at the Du Pont Company I wanted to get back to writing and teaching, and so took a 50% cut in pay to become an assistant professor at the University of Texas in 1983. I published like crazy and gained tenure in 1988 and further promotion, after a battle, in 1993. (Many Texas professors, like their counterparts elsewhere, suffer from Christophobia, but Texans also love football and learn to play by the rules. Since I published, I did not perish.)
There was further gnashing of faculty teeth in 1995, when Newt Gingrich discovered The Tragedy of American Compassion, my book on the history of poverty-fighting in America, and made it required reading for the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The university allowed me to go on unpaid leave; one advantage of being an outspoken Christian professor is that colleagues do not seem at all tearful about waving goodbye. I was able to spend twenty months during 1995 and 1996 talking with political and media leaders about welfare reform, and relishing the success of reform legislation in August, 1996.
At that time and since, I have tried to explain that effective compassion is challenging, personal, and spiritual; the contrast is with a secular liberal welfare state that emphasizes entitlement, bureaucracy, and the attempt to ban God from the premises. I've been able to see firsthand the work of heroic Christians who face hardships far greater than those in my classroom; they work one-to-one with long-term alcoholics and drug addicts, and with men coming off years in prison or single moms leaving years on welfare.
I was able to travel to seven inner-city areas last summer with my third oldest son, who is now 15, in order to research a book that came out recently, Compassionate Conservatism. The book, I hope, shows some gritty street-level reality and also suggests a need to maintain church/state separation but to tear down the wall that has kept Christians and others from expressing their faith in public areas. I believe very strongly in what the name of the think tank at which I am a senior fellow--the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty--suggests: Discrimination against faith-based institutions in public policy is an assault on both religion and liberty.
My book-writing has slowed down over the past six years because I've been editing World, which with 105,000 paid subscriptions has pushed into fourth place among American weekly news magazines. But I still teach, and I see how at my state university, as at others, race, ethnicity, and gender are emphasized, but not ideological and theological diversity. Secularism rules: It's okay for a professor to go to church, but questionable for him to base his writing and public speaking on what the Bible teaches.
I believe that classes at a state university should reflect to some extent the variety of beliefs in the state; students should learn secular perspectives but also religious alternatives. Nor should we readily salute liberalism's emphasis on the plasticity of human nature. For example, many liberals argue that virtually all male/female differences are cultural in origin, but that runs counter to the biblical belief that a human nature exists, and that within this nature men and women typically have God-given differences that go far beyond reproductive organs,
The combination of secularism and liberalism constitutes our established, dominant campus faith. Instead of encouraging discussion, many administrators sit by and even applaud as anti-Christian professors and students imitate professional wrestlers by slamming with chairs those who think differently. And yet, the campus of a state university belongs not to the faculty but to the people of a state, and biblical approaches should not have to hide in a corner.
We need to assert again and again, with fierce conviction, that Christians should have the same free speech rights as secularists inside and outside the classroom. We need to explain that the first amendment was designed to provide freedom for all religions, not freedom from any religion. We need to do this in small ways as well as large.
For example, here's a recent small way. I had sent an article about helping the homeless to a scholarly magazine and received a response along the following lines: "Dr. Olasky, My sincerest appreciation for your contribution to our magazine. Please find attached the draft of your article, which has two small word changes suggested by the Editorial Committee. The Committee wants to change 'she [a bag lady] needs a minister who will teach her that she is made in God's image' to 'she may need a minister.' Also, the Committee wants to change 'We need Christ' to 'We need religion.' The general impression of the Editorial Committee was one of support but they expressed concern over possibly alienating some of our members. I therefore suggested making the language more inclusive and it was accepted."
I responded, "Thanks for your note. I cannot accept the change to 'may need'; that is what she objectively needs to learn. If the concern is with 'minister,' the sentence can be reformed to read, 'She needs to learn that she is made in God's image.' Concerning replacement of 'need Christ' to 'need religion': No way. Religion can be a bad thing or a good thing. When the ex-addicts I'm reporting on say 'Jesus Christ set me free,' I can say no less, both in terms of what I believe and in terms of accurate reporting."
A short time later I received a brief, grim-sounding response: "I have made the necessary changes to your article as stated in your e-mail, and have re-submitted it to the Editorial Committee." But soon afterwards the final response came: "The piece will run as you wish. I look forward to future occasions wherein I hope to elicit your participation." One very small victory, but it arose out of a willingness to be defeated.
I've suffered losses small and large, but have certainly come to realize that if we as professors are to be bold in our profession, we need to read and think regularly about how Christ himself came to earth not only to die but to live amid rejection. His death was painful spiritually, psychologically, and physically, but think also of the rejections during his life--by family, community, local religious leaders, national religious leaders, and even his disciples. Much of the Bible is about painful rejection: Israel's rejection of God the Father, of prophets, of the Son.
So, for that matter, is much of human history. Foxe's Book of Martyrs, the great 16th century journalistic/historical account, is about the rejection of God's people through the ages. Paul Johnson's book Modern Times, a history of the 20th century, implicitly shows the rejection of God. Freidrich Nietzsche a century ago, and Ted Turner more recently, snarled that Christianity is a religion for losers. That's not true, because the last will be first, but it is certainly a religion that acknowledges the reality of rejection.
Can we handle that? The test of our testimony is not what happens when we're saved but how we act in the decades afterward. I've recently been examining applicants for membership in our church, and the crucial question concerns not when a person made a profession of faith--that may be done many times, like quitting smoking--but how God has changed an applicant's life. In my own case, I know I'm a sinner, but that I'm able to proceed at all as a husband, father, professor, journalist, and elder is a tribute to God, not myself, because all my inclinations were toward evil. I could not even have prayed for God to be as kind to me as He has, because I had no understanding of what to pray for.
God is kind to all of us, and that's one of the reasons Christianity is a religion of contentment amid distress. Here's one piece of advice in Jeremiah Burroughs's great book from the 1640s, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment: "Make a good interpretation of God's ways toward you." That means, if you have some trouble or fail a test, think that God perhaps has given you a trial to build your character. Perhaps you had your heart inordinately set on a particular selfish goal. Perhaps, had you succeeded you would have used the opportunity to fall into sin. "Perhaps God is preparing you for some great work, or setting the stage for some great grace."
Christian professors need to push the back of the envelope. We should expect beatings and then trust in God to heal all wounds and eventually wound all heals. As Joachim Neander wrote in 1680 in his "Praise to the Lord" hymn, "How oft in grief hath not He brought thee relief, spreading his wings to o'er shade thee." Christian in Pilgrim's Progress regularly had grief, which was regularly followed by relief, and that seems to be what God ordains. Let us rejoice and be glad in His providence.

FOREX-Euro tripped by ECB, Aussie on defensive ahead of RBA rate decision
- Tweet
- Share this
* Euro softens after dovish comments from ECB head
* Draghi says ready to cut rates further if needed
* Aussie dlr defensive ahead of rate decision
* Yen steps up after Japanese holidays but seen staying on defensive
By Ian Chua and Hideyuki Sano
SYDNEY/TOKYO, May 7 (Reuters) - The euro struggled to gain any momentum on Tuesday after the European Central Bank chief reiterated his readiness to take more action while the Australian dollar nursed losses as bears bet on the prospect of a cut in interest rates later in the session.
The yen bounced back from a 10-day low versus the dollar on Japanese exporters' buying after a long weekend in Japan, though many traders expect the currency to stay under pressure after a solid U.S. job report last week.
The common currency was at $1.3073, little changed on the day after having pulled back from Monday's high of $1.3141. It fell as far as $1.3053 after the head of the European Central Bank (ECB) reiterated the central bank's readiness to cut interest rates again if needed.
In a speech in Rome, ECB President Mario Draghi said the bank would monitor incoming data closely and be ready to cut rates further, including the deposit rate currently at zero.
"For southern European countries, a euro above $1.30 would be too high for their economy. Among major central banks, the ECB has been the only bank that is not expanding its balance sheet. But It will likely consider such a step," said Minori Uchida, chief FX analyst at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
Initial support for the euro is seen around $1.3024, the 76.4 percent retracement of its April 24-May 1 rally and the 55-day moving average at $1.3021.
Vassili Serebriakov, strategist at BNP Paribas, said further downside risks for the euro are likely to be limited thanks to ongoing significant support from European market sentiment.
"Both European financial equities and the core-periphery spreads have been moving in a favourable direction and indicate that EUR/USD can potentially strengthen to the 1.34-1.35 area."
The common currency also ceded a bit of ground against the yen, slipping to 129.38 from Monday's session high of 130.40 and off a 3-year high of 131.10 set last month.
The pullback in the euro saw the dollar index drift up to 82.264 from Monday's low of 81.982, helping keep it well away from last week's 2-month trough of 81.331.
The greenback gave up some of its recent gains against the yen as Japanese traders returned to the market after the four-day long weekend.
The dollar slipped 0.4 percent to 98.94 yen, after having risen as high as 99.455 on Monday on the back of the upbeat U.S. jobs data last Friday.
Still, many market players think the currency is gearing up for another go at tough resistance at the 100 level.
The big mover overnight was the Australian dollar, which fell 0.15 percent to $1.0236, extending Monday's fall as markets positioned for a possible interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
While the majority of analysts polled by Reuters suspect the RBA will not cut, markets have priced in a 50-50 chance of a quarter point easing in the cash rate to a record low 2.75 percent.
Those arguing for a cut point to still tame inflation at home and recent signs of slower growth in China, the country's biggest export market.
Others, however, say the bank will wait for employment data later this week and a report on company investment plans later in the month before making a decision.
Should the RBA hold steady at 0430 GMT, the Aussie should squeeze higher to test resistance in $1.0300/23 zone. Strong support is seen at the overnight low near $1.0220, a level which has propped the currency up in the past few weeks.

President Obama On The Future Of Commercial Trucks In America
President Barack Obama delivered an address today at a Safeway grocery distribution center in Upper Marlborough, Maryland describing what he wants from future commercial trucks.
President Barack Obama delivered an address today at a Safeway grocery distribution center in Upper Marlborough, Maryland describing what he wants from future commercial trucks.
Just before the government's partial shutdown EPA published a notice for public comment from Mercedes Benz requesting additional off-cycle credits.
Are you the kind of person who only purchases gasoline and neither pays for nor consumes any other goods? If so, we have excellent news for you today: gas prices in 2013 are expected to decline, even though the cost of just about everything else is going up.
Despite news gas prices are slipping for the weekend, your wallet's still probably feeling the hurt of your last fill-up. Don't panic! Use this comprehensive guide to help cut the cash you're sending to big oil.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood unveiled new fuel-economy window stickers for cars and trucks, saying "we're not just sitting around waiting for high gasoline prices to come down." His ride of choice to the unveiling: This 12-mpg Chevy Suburban SUV.
The U.S. government's new fuel economy labels are indeed letter-grade free, but stick with QR codes and the graphics that try to steer buyers toward more efficient models with estimated fuel costs. You can see the full range here.
America's summer of four-buck-a-gallon gas has barely started, yet there's some hope afloat that prices could decline soon. Business Insider's Joe Wiesenthal explains why those hopes shouldn't get too high — especially with oil prices shooting skyward again today. — Ed.
Just in time for people to start siphoning gas and wondering how much that Geo Metro out back might be worth, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has created custom fuel economy labels for used vehicles.
National gasoline prices reached an average of $3.14 a gallon this week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That means today's gas prices are 53 cents more per gallon than a year ago and highest since October 2008.
Per GMInsideNews, the automatic Chevy Camaro V6 will get a 30-mpg version, one that's already entered into the EPA database.
California regulators say they're pressing toward tougher fuel economy rules, whether automakers like them or not. [AutoNews]
Confused by the new letter grades on EPA window stickers? So are 53 members of the U.S. House of Representatives who've signed this cogently-worded letter to the EPA pushing it to ditch its silly system. Somehow, wethinks it'll still happen.
The Chevy Volt's official mileage ratings: 93 mpg combined city/highway on electric, 35 miles on battery, 37 mpg on gas-only power, 379 miles of total range. Total combined EPA estimate: 60 mpg, or about 20% better than a Toyota Prius.
The EPA has officially rated the all-electric Nissan Leaf at 99 MPG. Or whatever it would be if it, you know, burned gas. [Twitter, CNNMoney]
General Motors execs say they're ready to start shipping the first Chevy Volts to dealers, but can't because the EPA hasn't given it a fuel economy window sticker. Probably finding just the right font for "Your Mileage May Vary" [AutoNews]

The California Air Resources Board put tough restrictions on off-road trucks three years ago based on estimating such machines burned 1 million gallons of diesel a year. Its estimates were off 340%, and now CARB has to weaken its rules.
General Motors has to replace the battery packs in every Chevrolet Malibu, Saturn Aura and Saturn Vue hybrid sold since 2007, some 25,800 U.S. vehicles. The problem? It doesn't have enough packs to fix what's broken. UPDATE below.

China stunned markets today with a reported year-over-year decline of 18.1% in export data vs. the 7.5% increase expected. We've been seeing negative data from China over the past few months and bulls have for the most part shrugged it off. However, now that it's the second largest global economy, you can ignore it at your peril for so long. Closely linked to China's economic health has been the price level of copper (JJC), which has been in a decline recently and is now more in focus as the decline intensifies.
Weakness in China (FXI) carried over to Emerging Markets (EEM) and impacted other markets, but U.S. markets overall managed to cut much of the early losses to trade only modestly lower Monday.
Elsewhere, news from market heavyweights like McDonald's (MCD) stated another decline of 1.4% in sales, which was ascribed to, you guessed it, the weather. Steel manufacturer Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) dropped nearly 5% on earnings while chemical company, FMC Corp (FMC), was up by nearly 5%. So marker performance Monday was scattered.
Leading markets higher included slight increases in Biotech (IBB), Healthcare (XLV), India (EPI), Vietnam (VNM), Israel (EIS), Agriculture (DBA) and Bonds (TLT), but few others.
Leading markets lower included: Homebuilders (ITB), China (FXI), Brazil (EWZ), Russia (RSX), South Korea (EWY), Mexico (EWW), Chile (ECH), Thailand (THD), Germany (EWG), Turkey (TUR), Solar (TAN), Coal (KOL), Oil (USO), Copper (JCC), Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ), Silver (SLV) and many more.
The top 20 market movers by percentage change in volume whether rising or falling is available daily.
Volume Monday was ultra-light making it easy for the invisible hand late day rally making things more respectable. Breadth per the WSJ was negative.
You can follow our pithy comments on twitter and become a fan of ETF Digest on facebook.
This was a disappointing and boring day Monday. And there isn't much news on tap beyond the JOLTS Report and Wholesale Trade Tuesday.
Let's see what happens.

I glanced at this biography of Thomas Chatterton and thought little of it. I always supposed Chatterton a cult poet with very little substance and a biography about him was not high on my list of importance. I put the biography on my side table, next to my bed thinking I'd return it unread to the lbarary. However, I picked it up again up one evening out of boredom and was fascinated by Chatterton's life, and the myth, that Kelly explores.
I was unfamiliar with Chatterton and his work, so there was just enough of his poetry for me to understand its importance. I was amused at the way he managed to upll the woo over the eyes of those who thought his aged manuscripts to be the real thing, to be medieval works.
But the real interest came from the discussion of the poets and writers who followed. The passion that many had for him, including Keats and Byron, is astounding - and extreme as in the case of the poet, Francis Thompson, who copied Chesterton's life in London, living on the streets, refusing charity, and starving himself nearly to death; then on the verge of suicide, having a vision of Chatterton who told him he must not take his life.
I loved the story of the Romantics and how the myth of the young suffering poet took hold of their imaginations. The pre Raphaelites, too, took Chatterton's life and work to portray and worship the artist whose soul was too good for this world.
A very good read. Recommended to anyone who is interested in Chatterton and those who were influenced by him.

Maybe you don't think of it as "snooping," but if you've Googled a blind date, rifled through a boyfriend's sock drawer or peeked at his e-mail after he accidentally left it open, you've officially snooped. The good news? You've got company: 83 percent of glamour.com readers copped to snooping. So right or wrong, since most of us are doing it, we wanted to share some ground rules-you know, to keep you out of jail, er, trouble.
by Kristin Koch, Glamour
CN Digital StudioDO consider just asking.
Most guys don't volunteer details about their personal business so freely, but not necessarily because they have something to hide. "We think differently-we don't want to know about your ex, so it doesn't occur to us that you'd want to hear about ours," says John, 27. If you're curious, ask.
DON'T jump to conclusions.
Monique, 33, learned this lesson the hard way. "My boyfriend's phone started ringing off the hook in the middle of the night," she says. "He said he didn't recognize the number, but I didn't believe him. So when he went to the bathroom, I called back the number, and it went straight to a woman named Alayna's voice mail. The next time the phone rang, I grabbed it from him, and with tons of 'tude demanded to know who it was. Turns out it was his cousin, whom we call Minty but whose real name is Alayna. She was calling because her car had broken down near us. Oops!"
See more: 10 Things Girls Always Do in Movies and Never Do in Real Life
DO routine background checks before a first date.
It's not a crime to do a quick Google search or Facebook review to find out about a new man. Stephanie, 35, met a cute guy at a party and gave him her number. Smart lady that she is, before returning the voice mail he left asking her out, she looked him up online and discovered he was more than 10 years her junior and an intern in the same industry "I was horrified," she says, "but so happy I didn't waste an entire night out going out with him."
DON'T think snooping is actually going to help you develop a meaningful relationship with your man.
It takes time and communication to build intimacy. You can't do it by reading his e-mail. Plus, part of the fun of dating someone is discovering more about him through shared experiences. Melanie, 29, did a little cyberstalking and found out a bit too much. "He seemed like everything I wanted," she says. "The problem was that when we went out, I already knew everything he was trying to tell me about himself. What could have been fun felt like
DON'T cross the (legal) line.
If you steal his Social Security number to figure out his financials or break into his apartment to find out if he's cheating, you are breaking more than his trust-and you could end up in prison.
See more: 35 Truths About Marriage (According to Guys)
DON'T tamper with the evidence. If you maybe, kinda, sorta checked his voice mail and discovered a message from his ex, do not, repeat, do not hit Delete. And if you stumble across a cute photo of him as a baby, don't pocket it.
DO make sure you're ready to face what you find.
Remember, Sherlock, there's a reason people say ignorance is bliss. Do you really want to know if his ex could be mistaken for Angelina Jolie? Or what his preference is in porn? Megan, 32, began to have regrets after she opened up the Web browser on her guy's computer and found topless photos of the actresses from the TV series Charmed. "I was shocked more than anything, because who has deep fantasies about Charmed?" she says. There are some things you just don't need to know.

Hi everyone!
I have been surfing for about 6 months and about 6 weeks ago I moved down from my 7'6 funboard to a 5'8 Lost Bottom Feeder that my buddy let me buy off of him. The transition was fairly easy (took about one session to get use to the board) and now I am having a blast with the bottom feeder. However, the bottom feeder is more of a hybrid shortboard as it has a ton of volume (21.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches thick) in comparison to a standard shortboard, especially for a guy my size (a little over 5'6 and 145 pounds).
It works well on days up to about overhead but the problem is that it has almost no rocker and I have problems nailing really steep drops which makes sense since the board is meant for smaller surf. So I am thinking for those days, I should have a more standard shortboard so here I am asking what anyone here recommends in terms of dimensions or particular boards.
Thanks for any recommendations!

Keep up on what's happening with the Bloodshot gang!
 Bloodshot News FeedROGER KNOX FEATURE on National Geographic Radio
On this past weekend's episode of National Geographic Weekend, host Boyd Matson interviews Aboriginal Australian Country & Western singer Roger Knox about his latest album Stranger In My Land. His folks, country and rock n' roll-hybrid songs were written by Aborigine artists – some handed-down over generations, but not widely sung. In their conversation, Roger shares why he loves country music's ability to tell a story and how many people in Australia's native populations balk at the concept of being "Australian".
It's 10 minutes or so, so STOP compulsively reading about the new Royal Baby and LEARN something for a change.
It's full of music streams too. Read/Listen to it HERE
Daytrotter Release Wayne Hancock Session
Our buddies over at Daytrotter cajoled Wayne "the Train" Hancock to swing (and we mean SWING) by the studios for one of their super cool sessions.

Jon Langford Helps Close Down Maxwell's in style...
Waco Brother/Mekon Jon Langford helped close down one of indie rock's great venues this week, Maxwell's in Hoboken.
It was, as expected, a classy affair. A sampling:
"I went to the doctor recently, and he told me I had to stop masturbating," Langford announced. "I asked him why."
"Because I'm trying to take your pulse!" he concluded, to a cymbal shot from drummer Steve Goulding.

JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound's new music video for Howl single "Rouse Yourself" premiered on Entertainment Weekly today. The video stars Aubrey Plaza (of NBC's Parks & Recreation) and Jake Johnson (of FOX's The New Girl) all tangled in a love-triangle-shaped crime plot involving the band.
No one in the band was hurt in the making of the video.
Maggie Bjorklund's album in Alarm's Best of the 2010's (So Far)
When Maggie's record Coming Home came out in early 2011, it got rave reviews. Sure, there were a Jenga set of reasons NOT to release it: Danish. Pedal-steel. Unheard of on this side of that there Ocean. Not able to tour much. Check, check, check and double check.
BUT, once we heard it, we HAD to release it. Jack White must have thought something of it, as he had her play in his band on tour and on SNL. And folks are STILL raving about it. Inspired by the 3rd installment of the Naked Gun trilogy (watch out Det Drebbin, it's OJ Simpson@), the folks at Alarm Magazine have compiled their favorite albums of the first 3 1/3 yrs of the 2010's. Maggie clocks in at #21.
"Coming Home, is a charming collection of Southwestern folk tunes, and many of her established relationships with US artists help make it so — including guest spots by Calexico, Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), Rachel Flotard (Visqueen), and Jon Auer (The Posies). Coming Home proves itself to be a beautiful debut, from the crooning vocals, Western guitar licks, and cello strikes of "Summer Romance" to the dark guitar lines and ghostly, high-octave contrasts of "Insekt."

AND, because we want you to hear this record, AND because it's a perfect soundtrack for muggy summer evenings when you are watching the sweat beads roll down the side of the beer bottle, if you order the CD or LP and put ALARM in order notes, we'll throw in either a Bloodshot beer cozy OR a Bloodshot keychain bottle opener.
Now, LISTEN...
While you have to wait until June 18th to get Eddie's new album THE VALUE OF NOTHING, you can pre-order now from us and get some nifty prizes.

Robbie Fulks Re-signs with Bloodshot, to Release New Album 8/27
Like a misfit boomerang circling back around, we are thrilled to announce that Robbie Fulks is returning to the Bloodshot roster fold. Robbie will release a new full-length entitled Gone Away Backward on August 27. The 12-song album – and his first on the label since 2001 – was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, and will be available on CD/LP/digital.
We asked Robbie for his thoughts on the new album and on coming back to the Bloodshot stable, and here's what he had to say:
"As opposed to this idea that I'm "coming back to Bloodshot" (the verb "crawling" has also been muttered behind sleeves) I don't feel like I ever left. For sure I never slammed the door behind me in proud, valedictory defiance. Well, not since 1997 anyhow. Since then, I've co-released 2 records with them (Very Best of [me] in 1999 and 13 Hillbilly Giants in 2001), doing separate runs on my imprint and theirs. I used their retail distribution network and other resources on Couples in Troublein 2001. I contributed to compilations they put out in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006, and played for their 15th anniversary in 2011. Also in '11 they helped me market my little tribute to Michael Jackson.
Most people would pick "Put out a Michael Jackson tribute record" as the best definitive answer to the question, "How do I make Bloodshot Records go away?" However, Bloodshot Records won't go away. I see them at shows and seminars and parties and, in the case of Rob, wherever liquor is sold. When I go down to the Bloodshot office to buy records from my catalogue, there they are. Bloodshot. One reason I see Nan and Rob with some frequency is that we live in the same general area. Chicago is a big place, but the country music community is quite small. When you exclude style-hopping working stiffs who occasionally slap on Stetsons, and the usual corporately polished radio-imitation nonsense, there's maybe 10 of us. No, there's 9 -- Kelly [Hogan] went to Wisconsin. So fate has really thrown us into the same cramped cauldron. Not a bad place to be at all. At this point, I think we're kind of impressed, with each other and ourselves, that we're still in the game; the smart money 20 years ago was on our being wards of the state by now."
We couldn't have said it any better. Welcome home, Robbie! – Love, Bloodshot

A Lake County woman has claimed a 150-thousand dollar Hoosier Lottery prize. Lottery officials say Melissa Watts of Munster walked into a Citgo on 45th Street in Munster Wednesday to buy a Powerball ticket., and while she was in there, decided to try her luck on a Lucky Loot ticket as well... and the scratch-off was a big win. No one hit the Powerball jackpot that night, so it's now up to an estimated 320-million dollars for tonight's drawing.

Dubai, UAE, 9 Feb 06 UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka on Tuesday made an urgent call for immediate action to address the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly urbanizing and globalizing world. Her remarks were made in an impassioned speech to world environment ministers at the Ninth Special Session of the Governing Council and Global Ministerial Forum of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).
Mrs. Tibaijuka backed up a call by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on world leaders to use the United Nations-backed Kyoto Protocol to move on climate change.
"Our common quest, be it for economic growth, social justice, health and biodiversity or climate protection will depend to a large and increasing extent on our ability to manage our cities and the urbanisation process," Mrs. Tibaijuka said. "No city, indeed no society, can claim to be sustainable if a significant portion of its population lives in poor and dilapidated housing, with inadequate access to water and sanitation, education and health care."
Mrs. Tibaijuka hailed the excellent working relations between UN-HABITAT and UNEP saying that the two UN agencies both headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, were increasingly working to strengthen the nexus between the natural and built human environments. She said it was important to see this collaboration within the context of the ongoing institutional reform underscored by the 2005 World Summit Outcome.
The Executive Director paid a glowing tribute to her counterpart, Dr. Toepfer whose term at the helm of UNEP is coming to an end in March.
Earlier, Mr. Annan, who also paid tribute to the outgoing UNEP Executive Director, accepted a top global award for his work with the environment. He urged world leaders to use the United Nations-backed Kyoto Protocol to move on climate change, and called on governments, businesses and citizens to adopt a new mindset on energy resources.
"Now that the Kyoto Protocol has entered into force, the world has a dynamic tool for stabilizing and reducing emissions and supporting climate-friendly projects in developing counties," said Mr. Annan, as he accepted the 2005 Global Leadership for Environment award.The Kyoto Protocol is the 1997 landmark treaty designed to curb the greenhouse gas emissions that have been determined to cause global warming. The binding pact, which entered into force last February, requires 35 industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012.
At the meeting in Dubai, Mr. Annan also urged leaders, environmental experts and business executives assembling for the two-day UN-sponsored conference to seriously participate in two parallel sets of global talks meant to intensify global action on climate change.
One set of talks involves the parties to the Kyoto Protocol and aims to set binding emission targets for industrialized countries beyond 2012. A second dialogue involves all 189 parties to the broader UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and looks at a wide range of cooperative action among developing countries.
Echoing remarks by President George Bush last week in his State of the Union address on America's "addiction" to oil, the Secretary-General warned that the world remains "perilously wedded to oil and other fossil fuels." Mr. Annan added: "All humankind must get the maximum benefit from every barrel, gallon or litre consumed – much as we try to do with water, where 'more crop per drop' is our mantra."
Mr. Annan also held talks with the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.

Active Standard ASTM E2882 | Developed by Subcommittee: E30.01
Book of Standards Volume: 14.02
Significance and Use
4.1 An understanding of clandestine laboratory synthetic routes and the techniques used in the analysis of related samples is considered to be fundamental to the interpretation and reporting of results. This understanding assures that results and conclusions from methods are reliable and analytical schemes are fit for purpose.
4.2 The qualitative and quantitative analyses of clandestine laboratory evidence can require different approaches relative to routine seized drug analyses. Analysts shall understand the limitations of the procedures used in their qualitative and quantitative analyses. These include such factors as method selectivity, uncertainty, and the basis for inferences from a sample(s) to a population.
4.3 Laboratory management shall ensure that clandestine laboratory synthesis and analysis training be provided through relevant procedures, literature, and practical experience. Practical experience typically includes production, sampling and analysis of clandestine laboratory training samples.
4.4 Laboratory management shall ensure that chemical safety and hygiene plans address and mitigate hazards associated with clandestine laboratory evidence.
4.5 Laboratory management shall consider customer/local requirements which influence the application of these recommendations.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the general requirements for the analysis of seized drugs (Practices E2326, E2327, E2329, and E2549; Guides E2548 and E2329). This guide provides guidance on the chemical analysis of items and samples related to suspected clandestine drug laboratories. It does not address scene attendance or scene processing.

Cherry, Winters Discuss 2012 Ky. Election Results
Princeton's retiring democratic State Representative Mike Cherry says President Barack Obama's unpopularity in western Kentucky made a difference in state races. Four of five open races in western Kentucky, including Cherry's fourth district seat, went to Republicans.
Sixty-percent of Kentucky voters chose Mitt Romney for president, and Cherry says sentiment against Obama put western Kentucky Democrats at a disadvantage.
"Now we'll never know how much of a contributor, but certainly, certainly a contributor, and certainly the Repulican party did a good job of the linkage between the democratic candidates and Obama," said Cherry.
State GOP-funded television, radio and mail pieces tied western Kentucky democrats to Obama. Cherry and outgoing Senator Ken Winters were on WKMS's Sounds Good today to talk about election results.
