They had been on the gambling boat outside of Fort Lauderdale for two hours, and Carl had gone to order Greta a third margarita, which she didn't want. She lay on the deck chair, drowsy, expectant and slick with Bain de Soleil, a towel thrown over her midriff, where she rested her greasy forearms as she leafed through a Graham Greene novel for the third time. The pages were translucent with orange gelée smudges.
"Here we are." Carl showed up, grinning, blocking her sun, holding up a plastic mug with a winking whale and the words Bahama Mama printed on it. Three umbrellas bobbed among the ice cubes. He hovered over Greta for a moment, a tall, rumpled figure in an ink-stained madras jacket and a battered fishing hat, then handed over the margarita and sank bonelessly into the deck chair next to her.
A damp unlit cigar hung from his lip. "I'm getting my baby tanked," he said, satisfied, and started to slurp his fifth Diet Coke. Putting it down on the deck, he leaned over, drew his hands across her belly to soak up some suntan oil, rubbed his face, then leaned back into his chair. He picked up The New York Times and began reading, gumming his cigar. Greta opened her novel at random and began to read. "In human relations, kindnesses and lies are worth a thousand truths." She sipped her drink and started spacing out, watching the gulls through her sunglasses. Carl had only been out of rehab for a couple of months, and Greta was still married. Well, separated. They were both on holiday from themselves.
She remembered the day Carl had shown up at her office, three months before—in December, not long after they'd met. It was the day after her birthday, and he was late. She stood in the lobby, wearing a new coat, a fur hat, a new red handbag. He was taking her to the Rangers game as her present. Greta felt exhilarated; here was a man who made plans. Box seats. He was 25 minutes late, and still she didn't lose heart; she felt condescendingly magnanimous: Carl would come. And then he was there, sheepish, determined and in motion, streaming through the lobby, a cloud in khaki, long loose legs bobbing forward like the jointed limbs of a wooden dancing doll. He grabbed her arm, linked elbows, whooshed them through the revolving doors and glided her to the curb on a soft carpet of excuses. "I am disgruntled," Greta said teasingly, thinking she should seem to be, at least a little, out of self-respect. "Oh darling—be gruntled," he wheedled, not noticing she wasn't angry. He liked to be in the wrong with girls and be forgiven, she guessed: to be the kind of guy for whom exceptions were made.
At Madison Square Garden, the seats were fantastic, 12 feet from the ice. Stewards bustled about, bringing them everything Carl wanted—burgers, fries, chicken, Cokes. "I got you a present," he had said exultantly as soon as they sat down, and before Greta could react, he started fumbling through a shopping bag he had brought and pulled out a silver-wrapped box. "I got it at Barneys," he said. In his excitement, he began unwrapping it as he gave it to her, but she grabbed it from him in time so she could open it first. She unfolded the protecting white tissue paper. Inside was a soft, smooth pair of chocolate-colored chamois-suede hand-sewn gloves. She never shopped at Barneys; she couldn't afford it. Carl beamed at her, transported to a rapturous plane by his thoughtfulness. Done with the present, he pointed to the ice and began to explain to Greta about hockey. And she saw that the players moved on ice the way Carl moved on land: skating through life with clumsy male grace, intent disguised as carelessness.
That morning in South Beach, they had both looked terrible. The hotel with the art deco name had turned out to be hideous—a Thousand Island dressing–colored hulk looming over a cement courtyard through which a neon-lit wading pool meandered, wrapping around a bar that served keg beer and cocktails in plastic cups. College boys with nitrate-red tans and Big Mac bodies clustered around the bar, braying and bellowing, buying vodka tonics and cosmos for women who laughed too loud and had coarse mouths. When they'd arrived the previous night, they'd both found the scene funny for five minutes; then the irony petered out and they wished they could go someplace else, but it was spring break (which they hadn't realized when they had booked the flight to Miami the day before, on a whim) and there was nowhere else to go.
Carl and Greta's room was on a high floor overlooking Ocean Drive. Greta had looked forward to throwing the curtains open the first morning and unveiling the beachfront below waiting like a tropical Disney welcome mat: the fringe of emerald palms dividing the black stripe of asphalt from the golden stripe of the sand; the Aquafresh-blue water; the lavender sky. But in the morning, the room's sheetrock walls sucked up the white early light like a drain, and the color that washed over the room was gray and leaching. When they woke up and saw each other they shuddered.
"Do I look as bad as you?" Greta asked.
"Worse," he said and, covering his eyes, tried to give her a jokey kiss. Greta pushed him away and ran to the bathroom to throw water on her face, trying to splash away the pall. "Let's get out of town," Carl said. And so they drove to Fort Lauderdale.
It was a gorgeous day—hot, with the sun sweating overhead. The white-painted railings of the gambling boat looked so nautical, Greta thought. "Yar," Katharine Hepburn would have called it—was that right? Fat vacationers in overly bright clothing lolled like seals on white plastic rocks, eating. At the back corner of the deck, a steward in a white uniform began speaking through a bullhorn. "Skeet shooting starts at noon on B deck," he announced.
Carl and Greta turned around.
"That's in five minutes. Do you want to shoot?" he asked, moving his cigar to the left of his mouth, holding it in place with his molars.
"I've never done it," Greta said. "And I don't want to kill anything." She thought skeet were birds; someone would release them from a bag or a box, they'd fly up in terror, they'd be shot down.
"No, they're made of clay," Carl said. "No blood."
He was amused, and she felt stupid. "I'll show you how," he said. She followed him to the steward, they were first in line, it cost something, and Carl paid. He let her go first and showed her how to hold the gun, cradling her body in his, folding her shoulder and gun into his long arm. She loved how small he made her feel, like a child, his chin grazing her head. She remembered how he had skated backward at the Wollman Rink in December, holding her by the waist so she could travel backward with him. She had never done that before.
The steward set up a practice shot so Greta could feel the kick of the gun. Then she went to the railing, and the steward put a disk in the slingshot arm and released it. An orange blip shot into the sky. Three times he released it, three times Greta shot. She hit the target each time. Carl took the gun from her, displeased. Greta was embarrassed. She would have missed on purpose if she hadn't assumed she'd miss no matter what she did. It was important for a woman to lose when losing didn't matter. That's why she liked pool. Carl shot three times and missed everything. They went back to the chairs. Greta looked down at the deck, not wanting to look Carl in the face, in case he might read some expression in her face that would annoy him, and he went to get them more drinks. "Getting my baby tanked," he said, returning, and they sat and read, and in a while, he ordered sandwiches.
There was something furtive about the two of them. They were good at keeping silent. They were also good at talking, but it was the silence that drew them together. Knowing when the other was not really there, knowing when conversation wasn't necessary. "You're so pretty," Carl had said the night they met, at a dinner with friends. James hadn't been there; he'd stayed home to work, or to read, or because he knew Greta wouldn't care if he didn't come.
"And you're kind of vicious, aren't you?"
"I'm married," Greta had retorted. Which was technically, though not really, true.
"I'm crestfallen," Carl said.
He had walked her home after the dinner, talking about rehab and the grand vision he had for Eastern Europe. When she told him about a trip she was taking to Prague, he started talking about the ambassador, and she realized with confusion that he knew the ambassador personally. She was thinking about this when Carl grabbed her and kissed her, in front of her house, where her husband could have seen, where all the neighbors were.
"I'm married," Greta said, pulling away from him angrily, and he smiled at her, turned and walked away. He didn't know that her marriage was over, Greta thought sulkily. It was disrespectful. It was true that the only reason James hadn't moved out was that he kept putting off finding a place to move to, but Carl didn't know that. Maybe Carl will do it, she thought; maybe Carl will make it so James leaves. But she resented him all the same, for assuming he could kiss her, for assuming she wouldn't stop him and for being right about both things.
The next day Carl had called her at work, when she was on deadline. "Come out with me tonight. I want you to meet my mother. We're going to a fund-raiser for a senator who's a friend." "I can't," Greta said, "I've got to finish an article." "Oh come on," Carl said. "Don't be afraid. It's early. You can get home to hubby by nine and finish your article later." Greta hated being called a coward, hated the word hubby and hated Carl for patronizing her husband, even if James's rights to that word had run out.
"No," she said.
"I just want you to meet people; you'll enjoy yourself," Carl continued. "Come. Or don't come. It's totally aboveboard."
Two hours later, at an imposing old hotel on Park Avenue, Carl introduced Greta to his mother, who looked searchingly at her, smiling anxiously, as if to say, "Are you a woman who could be a safe custodian of my son?" Then she met the senator and the mayor, and after that she ran into far too many people she already knew, who also knew James. She told them she was so sorry James couldn't come that night; he was at the office but would join her later. She felt frightened. Irreversible things were happening.

Obama Beats Congressional GOP on Virtually Every Issue
by Jonathan Singer, Tue Feb 23, 2010 at 11:01:39 AM EST
From the latest Newsweek poll, which shows President Obama's approval rating down 9 percentage points from July to a low of 48 percent:
Forty-six percent of Americans prefer Obama's handling of the economy, compared to 30 percent who say the Republicans have a better approach. Similar gaps persist on job creation, tax policy, the federal budget deficit, and the handling of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The only issue where Americans say Republicans in Congress are doing better than the president is on the use of military courts vs. civilian trials for terrorism suspects. Thirty-eight percent prefer the GOP approach while 34 percent prefer Obama's.
These numbers aren't entirely rosy for the White House or its Democratic allies on Capitol Hill -- but they also belie the notion that the Democrats are sunk in November. No matter what the prognosticators inside the Beltway tell you, the Republican Party remains a terribly damaged brand, one in which the American people appear quite unwilling to embrace even as they become less endeared of Barack Obama.
It is true that these numbers do not represent a head-to-head between the Democrats on Capitol Hill and Congressional Republicans -- let alone the multitude of individual candidate races that will determine control of the House and Senate in November. Nevertheless, it is simply not yet clear that the Republican Party is anywhere close to sealing the deal with voters, who still prefer President Obama's approach to the failed ideology of George W. Bush and his ilk in the GOP leadership.

I like words. I enjoy speaking them and writing them. Crafting them in such a way that encourages, challenges, and even inspires. So a little less than a year ago, I started this blog. My hope was to engage people by sharing stories, making observations about life, and passing along some wisdom that I've gathered (mostly the hard way) over the years. To be honest, I wasn't sure anybody would ever want to read them, outside of those few friends and family members who would feel sorry for me and say nice things about what I wrote out of compassion.
99 blogs later, I'm still not sure why anybody wants to read what I write, but I'm enjoying more and more this format of expressing words. Almost 60% of the blogs I've written have come in the past 2 months. When you keep your eyes and ears open, material just comes seemingly out of nowhere. Especially when you're raising two precocious children. Sometimes the posts almost write themselves.
Too bad they don't all write themselves. That would be so much easier.
Anyway, for those of you who have been reading what I write, allow me to express my gratitude that you would spend some of your time with me on a regular basis. It's an honor and a privilege to have you as a reader. And if you've actually enjoyed a post well enough to share it with your friends, well, that means more to me than I can express to you. I'm just grateful.
For blog 100, I thought it would be appropriate to re-post some of my favorites. Some you may have missed, or forgotten about, or wouldn't mind reading again. 10 sounds about right. So here goes…
1. Saying no.
2. Facebook.
3. Wilson!
4. I'm not Jesus.
6. Charlie Sheen vs. Rob Bell.
8. Finishing Elementary School.
9. Wii panic.
10. Turning seven.
That was hard. Probably like asking Pongo and Perdita to pick their 10 favorite dalmatians. Or something like that.
Hope you enjoy. I'll be back later today with two new posts about parenting. See you then.
"There's never a wish better than this, when you've only got 100 years to live."

Star Wars Knight: John Jackson MillerA comics interview article by: Matthew McLean
Beginning at the end of this January, Dark Horse is launching one of its boldest cross-overs through the Star Wars line of books. Crossing over super-hero teams? Crossing over interplanetary space?
That stuff's for wussies.
The Star Wars "Vector" storyline will cross over several millennia, bringing together characters from Knights of the Old Republic (#25-#28), Dark Times (#11-#12), Rebellion (#15-#16) and Legacy #29-#32. John Jackson Miller, principal writer of KotOR sits down with Comics Bulletin to discuss his end of this epic project.
Matthew McLean (MM): Zayne Carrick, the protagonist of Knights of the Old Republic, has had a pretty tough time. Framed for murder and caught in the Mandalorian invasion of Taris, he finally caught a break in issue #24, being vindicated in the eyes of many friends and escaping from the obsessed Jedi bent on killing him.
John Jackson Miller (JJM): One of them, anyway!
MM: But now he's only been left in his quest with the name "Krynda." How does this all tie into where the "Vector" story begins?
JJM: The "Vector" storyline begins in the Old Republic era, which is 4000 years, give or take a decade, before the time of the movies. This is a period where there are lots of Jedi and, periodically, lots of Sith, so it's a little bit of a different dynamic than the movies. We also have another element in that, in addition to the battles between the Jedi and the Sith, there are also battles between the Republic, which the Jedi serve, and the Mandalorians, the armored warriors similar to Boba Fett. They're nomads who love a good fight and who now have, for mysterious reasons, picked this particular time to invade the Republic in force.
This is where "Vector" begins - and ties into the attempts of our hero, Zayne Carrick, to clear his name. Zayne is a Jedi student of less than stellar capabilities - and yet, he finds himself suddenly the object of a manhunt orchestrated by his own former teachers!
The group that has both framed Zayne and targeted him for removal is known as the Covenant. It's a secret society within the Jedi Order: a cabal of seers, Jedi that specialize in prognostication, in telling the future. They're trying to anticipate when the Sith will show up again - and they're surprised when they foretell that one of their own students, Zayne, may one day be a party to bringing down the Jedi order. Lucien, Zayne's master, is a member of the Covenant and the leader of the effort to try to rub him out; Krynda, readers of the series already know, is Lucien's mother - a very powerful Jedi and the founder of the Covenant movement. For the Covenant members, they don't feel they're falling to the Dark Side of the Force; they feel like they are doing the right thing by willing to act to prevent the Sith from rising and destroying the Jedi.
This brings us to where we are when "Vector" begins. As "Vector" opens, the ringleaders of the Covenant have a new vision, every bit as dark as the first. This vision is of the thing they fear the most: the Sith have returned, and have enslaved all the worlds of the Republic. One of the figures in the vision is their nemesis Zayne - but there are also figures they haven't seen before. Darth Vader. Luke Skywalker. Cade Skywalker, from "Legacy." And when the Covenant seers ask whether the vision is happening now or in the future, each figure from different times says it's happening in their time. But the problem is there are four different "Nows"!
They also recognize in the vision something we have alluded to before: the Muur Talisman, a Sith artifact. Which gives them more cause to worry - since they've already prophecied ruin in association with Zayne!
MM: How do you write a crossover that spans several millennia?
JJM: You take about a year and a half to come up with it. [Laughter]
Randy Stradley, the editor of the line, came up with the idea for a crossover in the Fall of 2006. Really, he suggested it as a thought experiment to me and John Ostrander, who writes Legacy and to Jan Duursema, the artist on Legacy. Was there a story we could do that would involve all four different eras -- that would have a meaningful impact on all four eras -- and also be a good story in and of itself? That was the goal. The installments in each series had to be good, but it also had to work well as an over-arching mega-story.
But if you think about, it's a similar challenge to what they faced in the movies. The movies take place in six different time periods, separated by anywhere from a year to almost two decades. And it's one big story, but it's also six individual stories that have a beginning, middle and end on their own.
MM: In fact, the Knights of the Old Republic portion of "Vector" has the most chronological distance between it and the other stories, doesn't it?
JJM: Close to four thousand years. We looked at probably a dozen different possibilities for the mechanism for involving all the stories together. There is no time travel in this universe in the Back to the Future get-in-the-car-and-fly sense. But there are other ways. Since we began talking about it, the fans have certainly added their own theories for how to do it. Fans have discussed that maybe it's the same place that they visit over time, maybe it's an object that time travels, maybe it's a person, maybe it's a movement that gets followed over time, maybe it's a droid. There's all sorts of different possibilities that people have come up with, but nobody has been exactly right. That's part of the fun of this.
But in the end the important thing to all of us was to come up with something that added something to each of the series it was in, that introduced new readers to those series, and that felt like a natural part of what was going on. We didn't want it to seem like "We interrupted this series for this crossover!" But I think many of the things happening flow naturally from what's been going on in each of the series, from their basic themes - and so it's all put together pretty seamlessly.
MM: That's good to hear. Out of curiousity, I've never heard of the Muur Talisman. What is that?
JJM: According to the "Knights of the Old Republic Handbook"--where we first mentioned it--it is a powerful object that is described in certain Sith holocrons as something that was desired by many different people in what was the Golden Age of the Sith. It is partially why the Covenant was on Taris in the first place; because they suspected the object was there.
MM: Does the Covenant know what it is?
JJM: Uhmmm… you know, we'll find out.
MM: [Laughter] Okay. Well, I don't know if this has been talked about then, but "Vector" is a word that can often be used to describe how a disease is transmitted. Taris, the city where KoTOR is currently taking place has an Undercity that is inhabited, by among other things, the rakghouls, a mutated breed of creatures that spread disease through their bites. Will these creatures play a role in "Vector"?
JJM: [Laughter] They are in the vision, so I can't deny that...
MM: So that implies that they are involved.
JJM: And that's another element that points towards Taris. They see Zayne in the vision, they see the Talisman in the vision, they see rakghouls in the vision and they think that all of these things are connected.
MM: Well, since I seem to have asked you a long series of questions you can't comment on, I might as well throw one more out there: With the prophecy that Zayne is to be the downfall of the Jedi? There's some speculation that he might be one of the Darths from the video games, and that "Vector" is the story that breaks him. Care to comment?
JJM: There are a number of connections and the history that is established in the video games and elsewhere. We'll be elaborating on that throughout the year, but I won't go into what "Vector" says about that. But the main thrust of the Knights series isn't about the video games, but rather, telling stories about the original characters and situations that we've set in this time period.
MM: Well, speaking of that; Taris, where Zayne currently is, is essentially a gigantic war-zone following the Mandalorian invasion. There's orbital bombing, house-to-house fighting and a resistance that's been pushed into the Undercity. What types of opportunities does writing in such an environment provide you? How does it limit you?
JJM: There are almost too many opportunities, so many stories that could be told here. We spent a long time working on this. Over the year, there were so many possibilities based on where I knew our characters would be when "Vector" began. There's a whole host of locations and situations on Taris that the video game established to draw from, for example.
But you always want to be careful, though, to make sure that when you involve something that already exists in the continuity, that you are doing it for the right reasons--because it enhances the story, not because it is fanservice: a cameo for the sake of a cameo. We're telling a story, not filming a travelogue. So we've been careful all along, to make sure that when we do bring in existing elements, they add something to our story - and add something to our understanding of the elements we've brought in. We began the series on Taris, for example, but almost everyone we met was new until issue #22, nearly two years in, when we met Gadon Thek, a gangleader who used to work with Gryph. And even then, we planted the relationship a year in advance - and we made sure that our story added something to Gadon's. We know him better, now.
In general, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't belong!
MM: So you've been writing Star Wars for nearly three years now. Is that right?
JJM: It was almost exactly three years ago, in January 2005, when Randy Stradley and I started talking about Knights of the Old Republic. I had previously done an issue of Empire, Iron Man before that.
MM: So on one hand, you're getting to live some kind of geek dream. On the other hand, don't you have to navigate a minefield of canon? There are certain things you cannot do.
JJM: Sure, but it's no different than working with any other franchise. You're playing in someone else's sandbox, so you want to respect their toys.
MM: And how do you like it?
JJM: It's a lot of fun. Is it work? Absolutely, it's hard work. I spend way too many hours in front of a computer screen, but if I compare that to anything else I might be doing, I would probably still be sitting in front of a computer.
JJM: Imagining things for a living is a lot of fun. And I've been really gratified to hear from so many fans that read this stuff and take away from it the same stuff I took away from it when I was younger. I feel fortunate and blessed to have gotten to do it.
MM: Thanks for taking the time.

Want to get 200k miles out of your car? tips to help
Monday, April 23, 2012 4:16 PM EDT
Monday, April 23, 2012 4:16 PM EDT
(ARA) - The average driver today estimates that a vehicle should go for more than 200,000 miles before sending it into retirement, according to a new national survey conducted by Kelton Research. With nearly nine in 10 vehicle owners more concerned with engine upkeep than their vehicle's aesthetics on the inside or outside, car owners are looking for as much longevity out of their vehicle as possible.
The survey also finds that 85 percent of drivers are more concerned about the longevity of their vehicles, compared to their homes. With engine health top-of-mind with consumers in today's economic climate, the time to pay extra attention to your vehicle to help keep it running healthy is now.
Even though some cars might not run as well as they used to once they reach 75,000 miles, car owners do not begin to consider their vehicle "old" until it hits the 147,000 mile mark. The reality: It's never too early to take the extra steps to promote long vehicle life.
One of the most effective ways to help keep your high-mileage car "running young" is using a high-quality
motor oil
formulated for that purpose. Quaker State Defy, the motor oil designed to more effectively meet the changing needs of higher mileage engines and help these engines defy time, is formulated to help higher mileage engines fight wear. The technology in new Quaker State Defy motor oil makes it so durable that independent tests prove it can virtually stop future wear in the engine. For more information, visit
Here are a few additional tips:
Change engine oil frequently
Sticking with the topic of motor oil, proper lubrication is tantamount to an engine's health, so you need to regularly replace your engine oil and oil filter. Frequent oil changes can prevent the buildup of harmful deposits that rob fuel economy and power, as well as make internal components work harder. Keeping your vehicle's fluids new and clean is priority No. 1 when it comes to making sure your car hangs around for a long while.
Follow your vehicle owner's manual for your recommended service intervals.
Check your tires
You can improve your gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by three tenths of a percent for every 1 pounds per square inch drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is usually found on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb or the glove box and in your owner's manual. Do not use the maximum pressure printed on the tire's sidewall.
Tune it up
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.
Check your air filter
Replacing a clogged air filter on cars with fuel-injected, computer-controlled gasoline engines does not improve fuel economy but it can improve acceleration time by around 6 to 11 percent, according to a study prepared for the Department of Energy. This kind of engine is prevalent on most gasoline cars manufactured from the early 1980s onward.

About Jacob and Aliamma George's ministry
Jacob George teaches a full range of courses at Giffen Institute of Theology. The school trains individuals to serve as pastors and evangelists and in other church-related vocations in the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan. The school is named for J. Kelley Giffen, the first Presbyterian missionary to serve in Sudan.
Jacob and Aliamma are also involved in Community Health Evangelism (CHE) in and around Malakal. This strategy seeks to transform individuals and communities by integrating community-based development, evangelism and discipleship.
Country context
In 2005 a peace accord was signed that ended a bloody 50-year civil war between rebels in the mostly Christian and animist south (mostly black Africans) and the predominately Muslim government based in the north (mostly Arabs). This fragile peace is holding, but conflict continues in the country's western region, where government-backed Arab militias have killed thousands of fellow Arabs living in Darfur. Amid adverse circumstances caused by war and poverty, Christianity in Sudan is vibrant and growing. The PC(USA) has longstanding relationships with two partner churches, the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, which serves northern Sudan, and the Presbyterian Church of Sudan, based in southern Sudan, now the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan. The PC(USA) joins its partners in a holistic approach to ministry that includes education and leadership development, community development, evangelism, and new church development.
About Jacob and Aliamma George
Jacob and Aliamma George know firsthand that the power of the gospel can transcend cultures. That is because they have seen the gospel transform lives both in their native India and in Houston, Texas, where they lived as young adults. They have now heard God's call to yet another place and culture, and they are excited about service in South Sudan.
"I served as a pastor and teacher in Houston for the last 30 years," says Jacob. "Now the time has come to do this outside the country. I take it as a challenge to go to Sudan as a theological educator."
Download a prayer card that lifts up the George's work in South Sudan
Jacob was pastor of the Emmanuel Church of South India in Houston for 32 years. The congregation is affiliated with both the Church of South India and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Church of South India is a longtime international partner of the PC(USA).
Jacob's commitment to ministry and evangelism was formed early in his life. "I was born in a pastor's home, and at the age of 12 I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior," he says. "I have had the desire to share the Christian faith to non-Christians since I was a small child."
In addition to his ministerial duties in Houston, Jacob taught science in the public schools. His dual career experiences help him tackle his diverse assignment in Sudan.
Aliamma also brings to mission service a faith journey that began in childhood. "When I was in second grade in India, my parents left home for a small village to do mission work," she says. "My parents had dedicated me for the Lord's work, and I have tried to tell others about him in my school, college and work places."
Aliamma has worked for many years as a registered nurse, a professional background that is proving helpful as she and Jacob work with Sudanese who are implementing the Community Health Evangelism strategy. The goal is to present the gospel message and practical steps for communities to improve their physical circumstances. People work together on projects such as clean water, general sanitation, agricultural diversification, small businesses development and literacy.
Aliamma first developed an interest in Sudan by meeting Sudanese refugees who visited the clinic where she worked. "I had positive encounters with them," she says, "and I am happy for the chance to help their home country."
Jacob says that Sudanese Christians carry a message that gives hope to a country torn apart by war and poverty. "I believe that the gospel can change communities and then eventually the nation."
Aliamma – June 2
Jacob – February 23
Happy Birthday, Jacob! Our prayers are with you this weekend as we remember you on your birthday coming up this week. May God protect you and keep you.

Three Column CSS
Having problems with three column CSS. I went to a coding site and found a chunk of code. When I put it on my website, the columns do not match. For example, below the left column, the center column shifts over to the side.
Anyone have a solution for three column fixed using div?
Mar 15, 2011, 23:21 #2
May as well expand this a bit too. As I was trying to tackle the Div tags, I was curios about cross-browser compatibility for Smart phones. Is it better to stick with Tables over Div for compatibility?

NATCHITOCHES, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – Lady Demons basketball player named Player of The Week in Southland Conference.
On Dec. 30, the Southland Conference announced Trudy Armstead as the Player of The Week. Armstead led the Northwestern State
women's basketball team in a sweep during both games at the Texas-San Antonio
Holiday Classic and a share in the crown.
Armstead, who was named to the All-Tournament team,
averaged 19.5 points per game and had nine rebounds in both games. The Dallas native opened the weekend with a 26-point
outing against Western Athletic Conference (WAC) member New Mexico State in a
73-63 Lady Demon win.
She was 9-of-18 from the field and 8-for-12 at the free
throw line. She also had two steals. She followed that performance up with 13 points the
following day in a 57-50 win over North Dakota State. Among her nine rebounds was three offensive
boards in a game that saw NSU outrebound the Bison 48-37. She had two assists and two blocks in the second game. She shot an efficient 44 percent from the field and was
11-of-16 from the charity strip for the tournament.
The Lady Demons will open Southland Conference play by
hosting their first two league contests in Prather Coliseum. NSU will play Sam Houston on Jan. 2 at 5:30
p.m. and Lamar on Jan. 4 at 1 p.m.

Kevin Durant scored 21 points, Thabo Sefolosha had a season-high 18 and the Oklahoma City Thunder rode a gigantic third-quarter run to a 127-96 victory Friday night over the Phoenix Suns.
All five Thunder starters had at least one basket during a 21-0 run that put Oklahoma City in position to complete a perfect homestand with a third straight blowout. Russell Westbrook had a right-handed slam during the run before finishing it off with a banked-in runner to stretch the lead to 81-55 with 3:25 to go in the third quarter.
Phoenix even came out of a timeout with six players on the floor at one point during the stretch, but all that did was result in another point after Durant made the resulting technical foul.

HOUSTON -- Houston's old traffic violation records are long purged but one man wants to clear his own conscience and pay a parking ticket he got 58 years ago.
"The ticket is $1, a small, almost unnoticeable amount." Dale Crawford wrote to city officials after finding the ticket among some keepsakes. "It is a debt and I want to pay what I owe."
Crawford received the ticket Feb. 3, 1953, the day he was inducted into the Army. He left his 1946 Nash at a parking meter at the induction station. When his dad was late retrieving the car, it had been ticketed.
Houston Mayor Annise Parker says she'll personally accept Crawford's payment Wednesday and thank him for setting an example for others who owe debts to the city.

Richard Wells has never let his blindness slow him down. For 27 years he was a professional musician, playing over a dozen instruments, although he couldn't see the instruments he played. Wells quit his life in clubs as a musician when a club owner told him that music made people drink more.
For the past fourteen years, Wells has been a minister, serving at the present as Pastor of the Simpsonville Baptist Church. The church is small and has no pianist, Wells divides his time at services between the pulpet and the piano.

By LaChanze as told to Michael Gioia
18 Jun 2014
She recounts the moment to Playbill.
Well, it's fascinating that the whole experience, to me, was an If/Then moment. The day prior, on Wednesday, Idina Menzel said to me, "I'm feeling a little sick." She got through the matinee, and during the evening performance she really was struggling at the top of the first act. Before the Act I finale, we were in the wing, and she said, "I don't think I can do the second act."
She went into her dressing room and said, "I'm going to check to see if we can do this because President Obama is going to be there… Let's make sure you're cleared." I'm thinking they're not going to clear me, but as soon as she mentioned me, they must have thought, "Why not LaChanze?"
Idina sends me a text: "They want you to do it. It's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' with a string quartet. And, it's a different arrangement, so you've really got to listen and learn."
From 11 PM-2 AM, I am thinking about clothing, makeup, hair and learning the song — that's all I'm doing. I go to sleep for three hours because I have to be down there at 7 AM. Since it's the 9/11 Museum, I'm going to take my daughters. We've not seen it yet, and it would be a great opportunity for us — still not tapping into the fact of what the emotion is for me.
We are in the car. We're on our way down. I get a call: "LaChanze, for reasons we cannot disclose, you will not be singing 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' Can you sing 'Amazing Grace'? … You're going to have to sing it a cappella." This happens on the East River Drive a half-hour before I get there. My manager is freaking out, but I've got to tell you something, I was not stirred by it. It didn't upset me. Something about it felt so right.Continued...

Today is the last day for the year 2009. Let's welcome another year with a blast. Let's welcome it with a quiet prayer in our hearts and Insha Allah, a year full of hope and love for one another.
2009 has been a good year for me.
Here's my highlights for this year:
JANUARY 2009 – I came back from my maternity leave. Leaving Julia behind was so hard for me. Good thing my Mom was still here with us to help us around.
FEBRUARY 2009 – valentines day for us. Our 3rd hearts day. Bless, my niece celebrated her 1st birthday.
MARCH 2009 – not that much, except for work and play.
APRIL 2009 – Mom went back to Philippines after a 6months vacation here in Qatar. This was such a hard time for me and my husband. We had to like arrange our work schedule all of a sudden in order to give way with our little one.
MAY 2009 – We started planning ahead for our vacation in Syria and Lebanon. Hubby applied for our visas.
JUNE 2009 & JULY 2009 – Nothing much again, busy as a bee. Though we booked our flight early this year.
AUGUST 2009 – We opened another shop so I was like busy here and busy there. Another big step for our company.
SEPTMEBER 2009 – a month countdown for our vacation. Ramadan as well.
OCTOBER 2009 – Welcome Syria! Hello Lebanon! A month vacation with my in-laws. Alhamdulillah! Thanks God for giving them to me. They're the apple of my eye and as usual, they were all so welcoming.
NOVEMBER 2009 – Hubby got operated back in Syria but was fully recovered after 2 weeks of his operation, Alhamdulillah! Thanks God. Julia celebrated her 1st birthday. Sigh… time flies so fast!
DECEMBER 2009 – Busy again with work and we haven't been busy with any partying stuff with friends. All our busy with their lives. Huh!
To sum it all, 2009 was a busy year for me. Thanks God for the load of work and blessings. Trials here and there are very much normal. Was easily handled in other words thru prayers and of course guidance of the Lord, I'm ending up these year blessed and happy as usual.
Thank you 2009! Welcome 2010!

Rayners Lane brothel worker: "I am here to provide a better life for my children"
Updated 4:48pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
A woman working in a brothel raided by police said she is only in the UK to provide a better future for her children.
Harrow Police raided two properties in Rayners Lane on intelligence they were being used as brothels.
Four women were found to be working in a flat above a charity shop and two women were found in a house in Imperial Drive.
One of the women working at the house was from the Romanian city Constanța and has been in the UK for seven months.
The 26-year-old, who did not wish to be named, said: "I came to this country because things are so bad in back home.
"I have three children here I am doing this because I want to provide a better life for my children.
"I don't want to stay here. I want to raise enough money so I can go back home and start my own business."
She said she earns up to £2,000 a week and all three of her children are in the UK staying with family friends in Harrow-on-the-Hill.
Both brothels were closed down by police and no arrests were made.
The raids were part of a joined up day of action led by Harrow Borough Council, with the police London Fire Brigade and voluntary groups.
The leader of Harrow Borough Council, Susan Hall, who was out for the day of action, said: "This shows the fantastic work of our police and raids like this are a positive step towards making Harrow as safe as possible."
Harrow Borough Commander Simon Ovens said: "Today is another example of the successful work between the police, the local authority and other partner agencies.
"It is very important we shut down brothels which are causing anti-social behaviour and disruption to people's lives.
"One of these houses in a suburban road and it is not nice for residents who have to deal with the customers arriving day and night.
"We will always take robust action to shut down these brothels to make Harrow the safest borough in London."

Our cops are constantly going around doing this and many more important tasks like arresting those involved in drug supplying and dealing.Shutting down drug factories has been a big success with our Rayners Lane SNT.They deal with anti-social elements and conduct foot patrols to keep us out of harm's way,also giving people re-assurance as they engage during these daily rounds.
Sgt Paul Culver and his team,in particular PCSO's John Duggan and Lisa Donaghue go out of their way to help prevent and detect crime.Of course,others on the team do like-wise and work incredibly hard.
Please stop putting them down.They have enough on their plate without us knocking their efforts to keep our Ward safe.The street briefings are especially popular and help empower local residents and shop-keepers alike.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank ALL those who worked in close partnership today to make this such a success.Borough Commander Simon Ovens,Fire Brigade Chief Richard Claydon and Leader of Harrow Council can feel proud of the success of this operation.
I am sure Rayners Lane residents appreciated the results very much and hope more "hot spots "in our borough will be blitzed in similar fashion in the near future.Keep up the good work.

Jackdaw is right about having more of these "days of action" in places where similar issues are rife.The benefits are manifold and community confidence naturally soars.
Of course,it translates into Harrow Police,Fire Brigade and the Council having to pool a number of resources and deploy many staff members for such a concentrated operation in order for it to be a success.
You will also appreciate there are COST IMPLICATIONS so that will need to be factored in very carefully.
Regarding the issue of SPITTING.I am wholly in favour of banning this and making sure people are fined on the spot.Not only does it result in making the place ugly with the spit marks but there is a huge HEALTH RISK of infectious diseases such as TB (Tubercolosis) being spread.Often people who spit in this rather disgusting manner don't even know they might be carrying this disease which comes often from the South Asian countries.I am of Indian origin and can't be called "racist" for stating a fact. I firmly believe we must stand up and tell our own people what is expected of them.Of course,other folk also indulge in spitting and must stop this disgusting habit.We have Somalis and others who take "KHAT" and spit as well.All this MUST be halted.
Our Safer Neighbourhood Panel in Rayners Lane has had this on our agenda for a long time and know that Brent ran a successful campaign to eradicate this problem.Let us take tips from them and make sure we rid ourselves of this as fast as possible.Northwick Park Hospital has had to employ TB Nurses just to cope with the spread of TB no thanks to people spitting in this fashion.Some hefty fines would help.
Other boroughs also fine for LITTERING.I agree with Jackdaw.We should do the same!

Malkani, don't try to stir up things - we know you are after the chairmanship of the new police panel but people remember what you did to HPCCG which was eventually discredited. Speak for yourself and don't imply that somehow you are a community voice.

A caring mother would be supporting the children by helping them with their homework and teaching them morality. Teaching her children maths by getting them to calculate how much an hour she earns is not the sort of homework they should be doing. Perhaps she also uses her job to teach them biology and prepares them for a career in medicine by pointing out the health risks in her job.

Matt Lewis Appears on BBC's Celebrity Mastermind (Updated)Lewis
This evening in the UK, actor Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom) made an appearance on the BBC One quiz show "Celebrity Masterminds" to play for the CAFOD charitable organization. This UK-based charity works to aid those suffering in poverty around the world by working with "poor and disadvantaged communities in the global South to overcome poverty and bring about sustainable development and well-being." The venerable UK quiz show featured Mr. Lewis along with actors Stewart Lee, John Thomson, and Sascha Kindred answering a number of questions on a particular subject. Mr. Lewis scored a total of 22 points answering questions about the UK band Oasis.
John Humphrys: You're doomed to be known as Harry Potter's sidekick, are't you? I mean that's got to be the case.
Matt Lewis: I'm quite lucky really, in terms of my character is - well I'd like to think that he looks quite a bit different to me. I have to wear a fat suit in the films and my hair is much longer.
John: You do look a bit pudgier in the films, it must be said.
Matt: Well I've got rid of the fat suit in the film, I won't be wearing it this year."
John: Really? Why's that?
Matt: In the book he sort of becomes a bit of a resistance leader, he's leading Dumbledore's Army, so yeah, a bit of evolution throughout the series.

Tailoring is something we take seriously at Oliver Spencer. We have a distinct approach: creating wearable, high quality and versatile pieces.
All manufactured in the UK, our 'soft' tailoring forgoes shoulder padding, wadding and conventional tailoring conventions for a more laid back aesthetic.
The Cycling Blazer that we have produced in collaboration with the cycle clothing Supremos Vulpine is the piece of note this season, cut in a cotton/nylon blend for excellent water resistant properties and smart enough for the office. With reflective strips under the cuffs, under the collar and in the rear vent and cut with the cycling position in mind, a perfect jacket for the city.
The Portland Jacket, cut in premium 100% cottons, unlined and defined for SS14 with a white tab at the neck. The Berwick Jacket is a new one to our collection, cut in a cotton/linen drill with a super drape, vented at the rear and lined in a 100% cobalt cotton.
The Solms Jacket cut in the slightly thicker 'Bowes' jacquard cotton for the cooler days doubles as a casual jacket when buttoned to the neck. Cut in the fantastic woven 'Kirtling' cotton linen blend that will age fantastically
The Wardour Jacket, unlined and in a supremely light linen is the most summery jacket we've ever seen.
The majority of our tailoring range is available as suits. Please call on +44 (0) 207 269 6444 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for any advice.

AP Sports Writer
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - One play and 6 seconds into the game, Virginia was trailing.
For a team that hasn't won in two months, fighting uphill all day proved too difficult a challenge to overcome.
Virginia turned the ball over four times, including giving up an interception for a touchdown on the game's first snap, and the Cavaliers saw their losing streak reach eight games with a 45-26 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday. Each turnover was turned into a Miami touchdown, that four-pack of freebies rendering a slew of impressive Virginia offensive numbers moot.
"You can't have that," Virginia coach Mike London said.
The numbers would suggest a far different outcome: The Cavaliers (2-9, 0-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) outgained Miami 483-304, had 28 first downs to Miami's 11, converted 11 of 20 third-down opportunities, held a 243-90 edge in rushing yards and held the ball for nearly 38 minutes in which they ran 91 plays to Miami's 52.
But when opportunity knocked, Miami answered.
"That's a good Miami team," London said. "They played well and they capitalized when they needed to and we didn't."
Tracy Howard returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown a mere 6 seconds after kickoff for the Hurricanes (8-3, 4-3), who remained alive in the ACC's Coastal Division race.
Howard knew Virginia's David Watford was throwing a screen pass. He made Watford pay, too, and the 'Canes went on to snap a three-game slide.
David Gilbert had a 72-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown, and interceptions set up two drives that Dallas Crawford capped with touchdown runs for Miami.
Stephen Morris passed for 214 yards and two touchdowns in Miami's home finale. Allen Hurns had 126 receiving yards and a score and Stacy Coley had a 62-yard touchdown grab for Miami, which got a big momentum shift late in the half when Ladarius Gunter had an interception in the Miami red zone. Gunter returned the ball 81 yards to the Miami 3, the Hurricanes took a 21-13 lead three plays later, and weren't in trouble again.
"Defense, I thought, really played their tails off," Miami coach Al Golden said.
Added Morris, on the defense: "They were dominant."
Taquan Mizzell caught a touchdown pass and ran for another, while Kevin Parks ran for 130 yards and a touchdown for Virginia, which lost to Miami for the first time in four years. Watford completed 10 of 25 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted three times.
"It's very frustrating," Parks said. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated right now. But we've got to make more plays and be positive."
Gunter was carted off with an upper-body injury with 2:02 remaining. He had a helmet-to-helmet collision with Mizzell on a play where the Cavaliers freshman ran into the end zone from 7 yards out, remained on his feet for a few seconds, then fell to the ground.
A university spokesman said Gunter was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami in an abundance of caution. He was released later Saturday night. Teammates said he was talking and joking with them while he was down on the turf, even as they kneeled around him.
"I told him he's still ugly," Rodgers said. "Something to joke around, to make sure he laughed."
Gunter is expected to return to action this season, Hurricanes spokesman Chris Yandle said.
Miami's win means the ACC Coastal Division race, and the right to play Atlantic Division champion Florida State in the conference title game, won't be decided until the season's final weekend.
For Miami to win the Coastal, it needs three outcomes next week: A win at Pittsburgh, a Duke loss at North Carolina and a Virginia Tech loss at Virginia.
"We just have to worry about the Pitt game," Golden said.
Howard's pick-six gave Miami a 7-0 lead - "I knew it was coming," Howard said - and turnovers kept ensuring that the Hurricanes stayed on top.
Miami's lead was 14-13 and Virginia was driving deep into Hurricanes territory with less than 2 minutes before intermission, when Gunter intercepted a pass from Watford. And with Virginia within 31-20 in the fourth, after Mizzell caught a 10-yard TD pass, Rodgers had an interception that set Miami up at the Cavaliers 16. Crawford finished off that drive two plays later.
"If it wasn't for the turnovers, it's a whole different game," Watford said.

CATEGORIES MoviesLast week, it was reported that Clint Eastwood was interested in playing an aging baseball scout who travels with his daughter on one last recruiting trip in 'Trouble With the Curve.' Well, the latest rumor is that Sandra Bullock may be cast as the daughter. According to Twitch, producers of the film are currently in talks with the Oscar-winning actress, who was last seen in 2009's 'The Blind Side.' No word yet on when 'Trouble With the Curve' will hit theaters. Bullock can be seen next in this season's Oscar bate, 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,' slated for a Christmas release date.

Amarillo, Texas - Doctors are saying a new clinical trial for heart failure patients could revolutionize the cardiology field.
Approximately 400,000 to 700,000 new heart failure cases are diagnosed each year according to the Heart Failure Society of America. Doctors at the Cardiology Center of Amarillo hope to better treat more of these patients.
The cardiology center was the first to enroll and implant a patient in a new heart failure clinical trial.
"It's called the MultiPoint Pacing study. What we're looking for are patients that do not respond to standard therapy for weak pumps, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure," Coty Jewell, M.D., Cardiology Center of Amarillo says.
Heart failure occurs when the heart in unable pump enough blood to meet the bodies needs. As part of the trial, a defibrillator is implanted in the patient that sends two pulses to the heart, rather than the typical, one.
Dr. Jewell says three out of ten people don't respond to traditional therapy.
"But that three out of ten that had no response on the previous therapy, those are the people we can change. And anything we can do to improve where we're at, in my opinion is the right thing," Jewell says.
Jewell adds this technology could define his generation of cardiologist.
"This could be actually one of the more revolutionary studies, in of course my career, in that you have a standard therapy that fails in a certain number of people, up to 30 percent of patients with cardiomyopathy will not see improvement with standard therapy. Now we can improve up to 93 percent of those," Jewell says.
The MultiPath Pacing study has not been approved by the FDA and is still considered investigational.
Patients are still being accepted for the trial. You can speak with you physician to see if you are a candidate to be recommended for the study, or you can call the Cardiology Center of Amarillo at (806) 354-9764.
