ALBANY, N.Y. – Martin Luther King, Jr., a baptist minister and a man whose name will forever be entangled in the fight for civil rights, is celebrated for his accomplishments throughout the civil rights era today.
His Life:
Michael King Jr., was born Jan. 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Ga., where his father and maternal grandfather were preachers at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in the city.
In 1944, at 15, King attended Atlanta's Morehouse College under a special wartime program that aimed to increase enrollment by admitting promising high-school students. He graduated from the school in 1948, spending the next three years at Crozier Theological Seminary in Chester, Pa.
Earning a bachelor of divinity degree in 1951, King was highly regarded at the school – even voted president of the student body, despite the school being comprised almost exclusively of white students.
From Crozier he enrolled in Boston University, receiving a doctorate in 1955 for a dissertation titled "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman."
During his time in Boston, King met and married Coretta Scott, a graduate of Antioch College, in 1953. The couple had four children – Yolanda, Martin Luther King, 3rd, Dexter Scott and Bernice.
In 1955, King became the minister of a small church in Montgomery, Ala., The Dexter Avenue Baptist Church.
Just down the road from his church, on Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested after refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. The Montgomery Improvement Association was created and a bus boycott organized, with King chosen to lead the movement. A little over a year later, the buses were desegregated.
King organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, in 1957, to help coordinate and assist local organizations working for the full equality of African Americans.
In 1960, King and his family moved back to his hometown of Atlanta, where he became co-pastor with his father at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
King's peaceful demonstrations continued, but he found himself jailed many times despite his lack of violence.
In October of 1960, he was arrested along with 33 others while protesting segregation at a lunch counter in an Atlanta department store. Charges were later dropped, but he was sentenced to Reidsville State Prison Farm after it was determined that he had violated his probation on a minor traffic offense committed several months earlier. The case caught national attention, and King was released after Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy stepped in.
A few years later in April of 1963, King was jailed for five days in Birmingham, Ala. after a campaign to end segregation. During his stay at the jail, he wrote a 9,000 word letter known as "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
In the letter he wrote:
"I MUST make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action'; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a 'more convenient season.' Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
On Aug. 28, 1963, over 200,000 peaceful protestors joined King in a "March on Washington." During the protest, King delivered his well-known, "I have a dream," speech.
Martin Luther King Jr. received the Nobel Peace Prize on Dec. 10, 1964, in the auditorium of the University of Oslo from Mr. Jahn, Chairman of the Nobel Committee.
"I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind," said King in his acceptance speech. "I refuse to accept the idea that the 'isness' of a man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal 'oughtness' that forever confronts him."
King was later present both when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and also the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
His Death:
Shortly before a planned Poor People's March during the DNC, King made a side trip to Memphis, Tenn. in support of a strike by the city's sanitation workers. During his stay, King was shot by a sniper on April 4, 1968 while on balcony of the Lorraine Motel.
James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the assassination, and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. He died on April 23, 1998.
The Holiday:
The legislation for a national holiday recognizing King was sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy, and after passing in the House and Senate, it was signed by President Ronald Regan on Nov. 3, 1983. The legislation established Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, to be celebrated each year on the third Monday in January.
In January 2013, the holiday falls on the day President Barack Obama is sworn into office for a second term. It is also the year in which the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of King's March on Washington fall.
For his public oath, Obama will be sworn using two bibles – one used by Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King's "travelling" bible that he used while on the road.
"Their actions, the movements they represented are the only reason it's possible for me to be inaugurated," Obama said of Lincoln and King in a video released by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. "It's also a reminder for me that this country has gone through very tough times before but we always come out on the other side."
"We know our father would be deeply moved to see President Obama take the oath of office using his bible," said King's children in a statement provided by the inaugural committee. "His traveling bible inspired him as he fought for freedom, justice and equality, and we hope it can be a source of strength for the president as he begins his second term.
There will also be a float honoring King in the parade to the White House after the swearing-in ceremony.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – A Massachusetts teen accused of raping a younger teen at a sports camp in the Berkshires was in court on Tuesday.
Galileo Mondol's attorney is requesting that the case against the teen be moved to Juvenile Court.
Mondol, 17, pleaded not guilty to his charges in Berkshire Superior Court in November. He was charged with Aggravated Rape of a Child Under 16, two counts of Assault with Intent to Rape a Child Under 16, one count of Indecent Assault and Battery on a Person who has Attained 14 Years of Age, and three counts of Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
Mondol's attorney asked the Berkshire County Superior Court Judge to dismiss the charges, citing recent changes in the law which would have placed the case in Juvenile Court. The attorney said there is a change in the law making 17-year-old's youthful offenders, which passed only days after Mondol was charged in September.
The judge said he needs time to review both sides of the issue before making a decision.
Prosecutors say Mondol is just one of three Somerville High School players charged in connection with the assault in a cabin at Camp Lenox, in Otis, Massachusetts.
According to the prosecution, Mondol and two other male teens allegedly entered a cabin occupied by freshman students on Sunday, August 25 and assaulted three boys who were a part of the Somerville High School soccer team. Berkshire Assistant District Attorney Rachel Eramo said two of the victims were able to fight off the assault while the third victim was assaulted with a broom.
Mondol is due back in court in April.

Engineering Passion
Effortless power. Impeccably delivered.
Immense power and instantly available relentless torque are the hallmarks of every Bentley. Anyone who has experienced the effortless acceleration that arrives regardless of engine speed or gear selection will know just how astonishing the effect can be. Of course, Bentleys are not just capable of great speeds and impressive acceleration. They are also renowned for their impeccable levels of refinement, whether rolling quietly through town or racing across continents.
For over 50 years Bentleys have been powered by exceptional V8 engines. The Bentley Mulsanne is no exception. Under its bonnet lies a twin-turbocharged 6¾-litre V8 engine that delivers the extreme levels of performance expected of it without sacrificing the graceful, refined power that a Bentley is renowned for.
In the Mulsanne, the V8 develops 512 PS (505 bhp/377 kW) while the massive torque (1020 Nm/712 lb ft) is now delivered at 1750 rpm. This dramatic ability to provide maximum torque from just above idle and right through the rev range ensures that with a mere tap of the accelerator you are immediately rewarded with that characteristic deep, muffled V8 burble and unrelenting acceleration. These immense reserves of power and torque are complemented by an eight-speed automatic transmission and steering-wheel mounted paddleshift.
However, words alone can never do justice to the experience of driving a Bentley Mulsanne first-hand. Only slipping behind the wheel yourself can you truly appreciate the great effort that goes into making a Bentley feel effortless to drive.

Dominion's Bear Garden natural gas power station begins operations
- May 24, 2011
- |
Dominion Virginia Power has fired up its Bear Garden Power Station in central Virginia. Commercial operations got underway Monday, with the 580-megawatt, combined-cycle power station producing enough electricity to power 146,000 homes.
According to Dominion, Bear Garden is expected to reduce the amount of electricity brought into Virginia, second only to California among states in the amount of imported electricity.
"Bear Garden represents an important milestone for Dominion," David A. Christian, CEO of Dominion Generation said in a statement. "It is one of several planned additions to our generating fleet to come on-line as part of our 'Powering Virginia' strategy. Virginia remains a growing state. Our obligation is to meet our customers' demand for electricity at reasonable cost."
Bear Garden is about 60 miles west of Richmond in Buckingham County. The $619 million station received approval from the State Corporation Commission in March 2009, and construction began a month later. More than 800 workers were on site at the peak of construction. The station will have 24 permanent jobs and provide more than $1 million annually in taxes to Buckingham County.
It features two combustion turbine units fired by natural gas with oil as a backup fuel source.
Dominion Resources, the parent company of Dominion Virginia Power, is one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy. Its portfolio includes about 27,600 megawatts of generation, 11,000 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipeline and 6,200 miles of electric transmission lines. Dominion operates the nation's largest natural gas storage system with 947 billion cubic feet of storage capacity and serves retail energy customers in 15 states.

The war that interests Americans most profoundly, the war with which they identify most intimately, even personally, is the Civil War. Thousands of books have responded to that abiding interest. Armed with these four new releases, readers can march confidently into the sesquicentennial, the four-year-long 150th anniversary of the war.
Since many books on the Civil War are so similar, books that provide fresh perspectives are always welcome, especially during the anniversary now under way. The freshest of the four books in hand is America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation by David Goldfield. The list of his previous books is impressive—seven major books and eight edited works on race and religion in the rural and urban South, past and present. Now he poses a crucial question for the Civil War sesquicentennial: "Can anyone say anything new about the Civil War?"
Goldfield's unique argument, brilliantly executed in a distinctive style, is that one effect of the Second Great Awakening was to create a religious fervor that enflamed secular debate over slavery and economic forces from the 1830s to the end of Reconstruction. Contrasting concepts of good and evil across the nation led to the failure of the American experiment, and religious and political bombast lit the fuse at Fort Sumter. Out of the human carnage and destruction of the war that ended slavery evolved the great Northern industrial success and the still-lingering religion of the Lost Cause that kept the South in relative ignorance and poverty until the late 1960s.
Readers will find another fresh take in 1861: The Civil War Awakening by Adam Goodheart. Plenty of historians have focused, with various emphases, upon the fateful year of 1861, but Goodheart wants us to know about some little-known actors in the dramatic effort to remake the country. He shows us a nation that had strayed from the vision of the Revolution into a country where democratic morality and liberty would prevail, with a cast of characters that includes an acrobatic militia colonel, an explorer's wife, a regiment of New York City firemen, a close-knit band of German immigrants and a young college professor, James J. Garfield, destined to become our second assassinated president.
Goodheart's initial inspiration was the discovery in 2008 of a huge trove of family papers in the attic of a ruined plantation house in Maryland—13 generations, 300 years of American history. While his narrative will appeal to the broadest audience, scholars would do well to delve into this excellent, well-researched and convincingly argued study of those months in which forces tending toward either war or peace clashed in a final battle in which war prevailed. But ultimately, the winner was the conviction of many kinds of people that a second American revolution demanded the freeing of the slaves.
Coming out of the bicentennial of his birth in 2009, it is altogether fitting that books on Lincoln, who remains the major Civil War figure, remain at the forefront of our consciousness. Although many books have collected Lincoln's speeches and writings, Harold Holzer's claim for Lincoln on War is that it is the first book to collect the president's writings on the Civil War. In fact, he creates a very useful context for the Civil War pieces by including writings from Lincoln's earlier life as well. The speeches, letters, memoranda, orders, telegrams and casual remarks are in chronological order, and Holzer, major-domo of the Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, comments upon and interprets each entry. The collection "embraces the soaring, practical, comic, distraught, and hectoring," with topics including tactics, military strategy, the responsibilities of overseeing an army and even Lincoln's interest in military technology.
In his introduction, Holzer notes that "Abraham Lincoln's official White House portrait still dominates the State Dining Room." And so, one hopes, his words still ring in the ears of the presidents and statesmen and women who dine there, such as this famous line: "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
Not so well remembered is the statement by Robert E. Lee emblazoned on the back of The Civil War: A Visual History: "I wish that I owned every slave in the South. I would free them all to avoid this war."
The Smithsonian has dared to add yet another lavishly illustrated picture book to the hundreds already on coffee tables and shelves—and it is one of the finest in every respect, especially the vivid page designs. Many of the best photographs, newspaper cartoons, maps, drawings and paintings are seldom seen in other books, so that for the general reader the images taken together will provide a fresh impression of every aspect of the war and Reconstruction, including the role of black soldiers, spies, politics a[Tue Sep 2 22:35:08 2014] enhancedContent.pl: Wide character in print at E:\websites\aquabrowser\IMCPL\app\site\enhancedContent.pl line 249. nd the home front. New photographs show galleries of uniforms, flags, pistols, artillery and other artifacts of the time, such as medical instruments. Two-page spreads provide timelines for each year, and the text that weaves in and out among the well-designed pages gives an excellent gallery of people and a summary of the war.
The first three books mentioned here may inspire readers to meditate on the war and its legacy, while the Smithsonian's visual history may stimulate the commemoration impulse. Living in a time of civil wars that affect us all, we do well to experience our own in books such as these, especially during this major anniversary. As Shelby Foote said, the Civil War is "the crossroads of our being."Copyright 2011 BookPage Reviews.
A penetrating look at the crowded moment when the antebellum world began to turn.
TheÃÂ zeitgeistÃÂ is by definition ephemeral and difficult to recapture—think, for example, of a period as recent as America before 9/11—but that's the neat trick splendidly accomplished here by journalist and historian Goodheart, now director of Washington College's C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience. History, he reminds us, is composed not merely of the momentous judgments of government ministers and generals, but also of the countless decisions of ordinary people. These responses to unexpected challenges are complicated, not always predictable and, taken together, have the power to shift events decisively. Such a time was 1861, when the "Old Gentlemen" (the likes of Buchanan, Tyler and Crittenden) gave way to the self-made men (exemplified by Lincoln, multiplied by a still younger generation of strivers like James Garfield and Elmer Ellsworth); when the Republican marching clubs, the Wide Awakes, and the exotic Zouave drill team became something more than quasi-military; when the transcontinental telegraph replaced the Pony Express; when trolley-car executive William Sherman and shop clerk Ulysses Grant looked on as two unsavory men preserved Missouri for the Union; when fugitive slaves suddenly became "contrabands"; when a general in San Francisco and a major at Fort Sumter, notwithstanding their Southern sympathies, remained faithful to their military oath; when surging patriotism and romantic notions of war turned to hatred and bloodlust; when an unfolding national crisis required people to choose sides, sweep away old assumptions and rattle categories long deemed unshakeable, and bring forth something new. Whether limning the likes of Benjamin "Spoons" Butler, abolitionist Abby Kelley Foster or the young Abner Doubleday, explaining something as seemingly inconsequential as the fashion for men's beards or unpacking Lincoln's profound understanding of the nature and unacceptable consequences of the rebellion, Goodheart's sure grasp never falters.
Beautifully written and thoroughly original—quite unlike any other Civil War book out there.Copyright Kirkus 2011 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved.
Goodhart, a historian and journalist who will be writing a column on the Civil War for the New York Times online, makes sophisticated use of a broad spectrum of sources for an evocative reinterpretation of the Civil War's beginnings. Wanting to retrieve the war from recent critics who dismiss the importance of slavery in the Union's aims, he reframes the war as "not just a Southern rebellion but a nationwide revolution" to free the country of slavery and end paralyzing attempts to compromise over it. The revolution began long before the war's first shots were fired. But it worked on the minds and hearts of average whites and blacks, slaves and free men. By 1861 it had attained an irresistible momentum. Goodheart shifts focus away from the power centers of Washington and Charleston to look at the actions and reactions of citizens from Boston to New York City, from Hampton Roads, Va., to St. Louis, Mo., and San Francisco, emphasizing the cultural, rather than military, clash between those wanting the country to move forward and those clinging to the old ways. War would be waged for four bitter years, with enduring seriousness, intensity, and great heroism, Goodheart emphasizes. 15 illus. (Apr.)[Page ]. Copyright 2010 PWxyz LLC

Councils should be honest about parking charges: Editor's Eye comment
12:18pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in News By Andrew Parkes, News Shopper editor
IS any council out there honest enough to admit parking charges are purely and simply a way of generating revenue?
Why don't they stop the pretence, 'fess up to the fact it's all about the cash and we then could accept it.
If I get fined, clamped or towed for parking illegally I won't be looking for sympathy. But, don't take me for a fool and pretend the primary reason for parking charges is to keep traffic flowing, clear a path for fire engines or provide residents with spaces.
If this is really the case, then adopt the parking scheme where tickets are issued freely. You still have to park legally and correctly, and if you don't bother to display a free ticket then you are fined — surely no-one could complain then?
But making bonus payments to jobsworth parking attendants for the number of tickets they hand out, issuing fines in ridiculous situations, eg. ticket is displayed incorrectly or one wheel is on a white line, only serves to inflame the situation and create bad feeling all round.
There can't be any excuse for abusing or attacking parking wardens in any situation, but with the current policy of local councils you can see how it happens. There is hardly a day goes by when I don't walk down the high street and witness a full-blooded argument between a driver and a parking warden.
I have yet to hear the words: "The council needs this money and there's no way you will get away with it. In fact, I want to thank you for breaking the rules because if no-one did try to abuse the system me and all my colleagues would all be out of a job."
I look forward to the day when we get some honesty.
Do you think it is reasonable for councils to charge for parking? Have you been the victim of any parking injustices? Add your comments below.

I did recive one parking ticket from Bromley, which I successfully contested. I keep the Penalty Notice together with the letter from the Ajudicator as a trophy.

...There are many places around Bromley where it is very easy to park and get a guaranteed ticket, whilst simultaneously being under the impression when you leave your vehicle, that it is safe from these pirates.

The positive economic impact of tourism on Elkhart County is growing.
According to the Elkhart County Convention and Visitors Bureau, tourism contributed $401.6 million to the county's economy in 2011. That was an increase over the industry's $367.6 million contribution in 2009.
The bureau said the figures come from a study by Certec Inc.
Direct expenditures by visitors accounted for $273.1 million of the total, up from $250 million in spending in 2009.
"This growth in visitor spending is significant when you consider Elkhart County was in a deep economic recession in 2009," said Diana Lawson, the executive director for the bureau. "These tourism dollars help support dozens of local businesses and impact banking, insurance, real estate, public utilities, construction, manufacturing and agriculture."
The study found the Indiana Toll Road and local attractions to tourism spending in Elkhart County were important. According to the bureau, pass-through highway travelers as well as those arriving at specific destinations in Elkhart County, have helped create the extensive network of attractions, lodging properties, restaurants, and specialty shopping that exists in the county. As a result, the county is not overly dependent on a single tourism sector, according to the bureau.
"Our destination's events and festivals are also important contributors to Elkhart County's tourism industry," Lawson said. She said the Quilt Gardens along the Heritage Trail and Amish Acres Arts & Crafts Festival were recently designated Top 100 Events in North America for 2013 by the American Bus Association. The venues have made the list five times each.
"It makes a positive statement about the quality of our destination's tourism product when Elkhart County's events are continually recognized for their excellent entertainment value and potential to generate tourism dollars," Lawson said.

A 45-year-old Glendale woman who authorities alleged ran a mortgage fraud scheme that led to $17 million in foreclosures has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison.
The FBI in Phoenix says Michele Marie Mitchell was also ordered by U.S. District Judge James A. Teilborg on Monday to pay $110,490 in restitution.
Mitchell and Phoenix resident Jeremy West Pratt were indicted last year. Pratt pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in January and was sentenced in July to six months in prison. Mitchell pleaded guilty to the same charge in April.
The two recruited people with good credit scores to act as straw buyers to buy homes as investments. Mitchell portrayed herself as a mortgage broker while Pratt claimed to run a construction and remodeling company.

One Vision - One Vibration
These are the amazing pictures from the 'Ice Man' - a frosty photographer who is prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to capture the perfect picture.
Eric Guth is the real life Jack Frost spending days hiding out in some of the world's most spectacular glacier caves.
The 30-year-old regularly camps for days inside the eerie glaciers which can reach unbelievable temperatures: sometimes as low as 20 degrees below freezing
Winter Wonderland: Eric captured this eerie sci-fi 'cavescape' in the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in Patagonia, Argentina
And even the constant threat of pneumonia, frostbite and collapsing caves isn't enough to put this intrepid photographer off.
After becoming fascinated with glaciers as a young boy, Eric has spent the last five years tracking down, living in and photographing the mysterious and unknown
Going Underground: Eric took this moody shot of his friend Justin Gardiner at the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in Patagonia.
His adventures to find the perfect icy picture have taken him all over the world - from Patagonia in South America to Iceland in the North Atlantic.
As these amazing pictures show his trips are well worth it as he captures the stunning beauty of these hidden low temperature landscapes.
Crystal Clear: Sunlight filters through the icy walls of the glacier, giving the cave a jewel-like glow
Eric, from Portland, USA, said: 'I have been fascinated with ice for as long as I can remember so I can't imagine doing anything else.'
'My mum was a photographer and when she passed her camera down to me, taking pictures of glaciers just seemed like the natural thing to do.'
'I have been known to camp out for anything up to four or five days.'
The Ice Man himself: Eric pictured beneath a glacier in the Swiss Alps, taken during a pilgrimage to track the
history of famous Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz
'Some of the caves are tiny and I can cover the whole thing in an hour or so but some take days to explore and I like to cover every nook and cranny.'
'The long camping trips can be pretty intense and it's definitely a change from the sun I am used to at home but I love it.'
'I've made it my mission to track down the most spectacular glaciers in the world and while I have seen dozens already the sight always takes my breath away'

I'm with demuralist. Had no idea Buddha was a real person, although he seemed very wise. Lol
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! You are an amazing person and we are lucky to have you here.
Siddhartha Gautauma was indeed a real person. He lived roughly 500 BCE.

I'm with demuralist. Had no idea Buddha was a real person, although he seemed very wise. Lol
This weekend I re-read "Make Shift Happen" by Dean Dwyer in preparation for taking the online course with him.
It always surprises me how I have to be in the right space to hear something in order for it to make an impact. I loved the book the first time I read it. It is about making powerful change in your life by taking small steps. The first time I read it, I was deep in mourning for my Mom and couldn't handle the idea of making the mental shifts necessary to beat my food (and other) issues once and for all. I also was not ready to hear that there wasn't a miracle cure...that I would have to put systems in place to solve my problems and then work those systems...forever.
I now realize that left to their own devices, without control systems, my body and mind will do what is easiest and most pleasurable, not necessarily what is best for health and well being. That brings me back to the Buddhist journey of self improvement.
It is not just me, however. I believe all humans need to have a plan and a purpose for their lives. Yes, some of us are more damaged than others, but even the most perfect of us could use some work. Heck, the Dalai Lama has said that even he has not reached enlightenment.
wow Paula.. love you girl. It can be very liberating to free all those words (translate worries, concerns, etc.) out.

What am I doing? Depends on the day.
The course I am taking with Dean Dwyer is called "Building Incredible Willpower" Yes it is a paid course. ($100). I like and trust Dean, so I am willing to put out the money.
Today was Day 1
The recap...
You can teach yourself anything.
80-90% percent of our problems could be solved by putting a workable system in place for dealing with these issues.
Systems can be learned.
Examples from my own life...
Flylady is a system I have used successfully to keep my home in order.
Paleo is a system of eating that works for me.
Fitness 666 has a body weight exercise system that is easy for me to follow.
My new system of dealing with email clutter is to delete 50 a day.
Phew, that's a lot of emails! I get some newsletter items throughout the week, regular correspondence with Hulky while we're at work during the day, and sometimes an email from my mom about something, but that's about it. This isn't anything work-related, though.
Journal on depression/anxiety
Currently trying to figure out WTF to eat (for IBS-C).
I have been very neglectful of my email. I receive about 10 a day. I have over 5000 unread. I think the total might be close to 10,000. Dean used email pileup as an illustration of needing systems in place to deal with problems. I quote "An email inbox that gets out
of control functions on the exact same principles that cause people gain weight, go into debt or consistently repeat the
same mistakes in relationships."
My mom has email management issues. She's a very busy woman. Folder systems are my friend, but I guess she never picked up those kind of organizational things along the way. I wonder if this kind of course would be helpful for her!
Journal on depression/anxiety
Currently trying to figure out WTF to eat (for IBS-C).
I read all of my email, but tend to keep it in my inbox "for later reference". This past week I started to delete or move to folders, and then went through the folders and started to delete from them. I finished 1 of them (I have 3 email accounts), it felt so good!
I would love to implement Fly Lady's system. Another thing I will do as an empty nester.
I love flylady! Love her. She has such an amazing system but I have never been successful at commiting to it for long. I get lazy and then procrastinate and then the next thing I know, the house is overwhelming again. I have created a list of things to tackle while on Furlough Fridays, though.

Getting started with Python in Linux
We'll introduce you to Python, an easy-to-learn scripting language, and also help you get started creating your own practical Python scripts.
Over the course of my career as a system administrator, I've written scripts in a variety of languages and environments (beginning with DCL under VMS). Once I began taking care of UNIX-based systems, I gravitated first toward the C shell and then to Perl, which I used for many years. More recently, however, I have begun using Python. Although the choice of a scripting language is inevitably a personal one, and effective scripts can be written in any language, Python nonetheless offers many advantages to system administrators.

Quick Marinated Flank Steak Recipe
I first grilled this appetizing flank steak for my father on a special occasion. We loved it so much that I now make it this way all the time. The steak marinates overnight, so there's little last-minute preparation to worry about. - Ann Fox, Austin, Texas
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients. Add steak and turn to coat. Seal refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 6-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). To serve, thinly slice across the grain. Yield: 6 servings.

Holroyd: 'We're living with decisions made two years ago'
Emirates Team New Zealand so far is the only team to expend the full 30-day allotment for testing and training of its new AC72. Designer Nick Holroyd recently sat down to recap the 30 days of practice and shed some insight on what the team learned.
What's the state of the union for Emirates Team New Zealand? You've done the 30 days in boat 1, how'd it go?
The open answer to that is you don't know until you line up against other people. We have briefly against Luna Rossa done a bit of racing and start drills… but there are three design groups out there and we've all taken different approaches.
I think we're all to a point where, on a global view, most people are pretty committed to their programs. I'd be surprised if you see any radical changes in direction from any of the teams. In a way it's a little bit of a case of you're not going know until the end if you're on the right road, but right now your job is to run as hard as you can and get as far down the road you've chosen as possible. For better or worse, you're living with decisions made two years ago.
If you look at that 30 days over time we had to sign off on the Boat 2 shapes very early in the process, literally Day 4 or Day 5 we signed off on Boat 2. From my perspective, the first half dozen days were pretty nerve wracking. Your sitting in the chase boat thinking, 'Is this thing is going to fall apart?' After a half dozen days, Day 4, we were up foiling and progressively pushing the boat harder and harder.
There was always a bit of honeymoon period in the middle where things were going well. Then your attention gets so drawn into Boat 2. Over the last 10 days on the water I've been to three or four. It's very hard to manage the Boat 1 program.
We're fortunate we had no major issues in middle of it. Huge amount to learn about… One of the things we hope we've paid a reasonable amount of attention to, whether racing against self or Luna Rossa, is decomposing the race laps into where you're losing a lot of time. After a certain amount some of that will be put into Boat 2, but Boat 2 will never be done either.
What was the biggest surprise over the 30 days?
I think we're pleasantly surprised that the work we did on the 33s transferred over quite well. You don't go foiling on Day 4 without having done it a bit on a small boat first. It probably reinforced the surrogate rule at 10 meters, for us, turned out to be a perfect sized boat. We could do a lot of things quickly and relatively cheaply. We went through a lot of board versions and that sort of stuff.
What surprises you as hard are the lead times and the difficulty of changing things in the big boat. You look at where we're at now, our ability to go through more board alterations, or if want to change wing control system, if you want to change those things you need a five- or six-month lead time to design and build.
That'll be the hardest thing in the coming period, how much innovation do you allow to carryon trickling down to the boat and how much do you walk it down and test it and make it reliable. They're not easy boats to engineer. The weight limit in the class is a stiff mistress. You can't spend weight for reliability. It's going to be a lot of work. Come race time you hope it isn't too big a deciding factor, but it certainly could be relevant.

If the Electronic Voting Booths have been proven not only inaccurate, but corrupt, why are they still in use?
Because they do what they're told.
See the complaint filed in the United States Sentate BEFORE the Special Senate Election even took place, because our own Superior Court in NJ, after finding that the fraud allegations were TRUE, did nothing to remedy the issues, AND did nothing to prosecute the commission of illegal actions by elected officials in each County in New Jersey.
You heard right - the Court agreed that the law had been WILLFULLY VIOLATED by the County Clerks, the Attorney General's Office, and the Election Board, and did NOTHING.
Don't take my word for it - listen for yourself...
Because of this, no less than FIVE of the candidates on the ballot, in an unprecedented show of unity, filed their complaint directly with the United States Senate.
Why isn't this on the network news, or in the newspapers? Because it shines the light of truth on both the Democratic and Republican Party Leadership in NJ as corrupt- and they're big dollar advertising buyers from the mainstream media. That's right - they're high-value CUSTOMERS...and the media wouldn't dare cast them in a negative light.

Hildebrand, National Guard Panther Team Look to Build Momentum at Alabama Road Course
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (April 2, 2013) – After an early exit in the IndyCar Series season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg, JR Hildebrand and the National Guard Panther Racing team are prepared to tackle the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama this Sunday afternoon at Barber Motorsports Park. The team tested at Barber just three weeks ago on the 17-turn, 2.38-mile permanent road course, and with track times exceeded previous speed records, Hildebrand is excited to get back on the track this weekend.
"I'm really looking forward to getting back in the No. 4 National Guard car this weekend down at Barber," Hildebrand said. "The track was super fast at the test we had a few weeks ago, which is what IndyCar racing should be all about."
Hildebrand had his best non-oval qualifying effort at Barber last year, pushing the team into the Firestone Fast Six and getting the No. 4 National Guard car into the 5th place starting position before eventually finishing 15th in the race after contact in the closing laps. After a successful qualifying effort in 2012 and a successful open test, Hildebrand and the Panther team are hoping to carry some momentum into this weekend's race.
"The car ran great during the test and we were really quick at Barber last year in qualifying, so hopefully we can keep that momentum up," JR continued. "I'm pumped to get back down there."
RACE REWIND: Great Start at Barber Doesn't Pan Out for Panther in 2012:
After Hildebrand's best non-oval qualifying effort at the time, he and the No. 4 National Guard Panther team started the race in 5th position. The team made its first pit stop on Lap 19 and Hildebrand returned to the field in ninth position and outpaced Team Penske driver Ryan Briscoe for the rest of the second stint. As the final laps ticked down Hildebrand was in 13th and entering the final turn his car was bumped twice by Briscoe, which allowed two cars to pass and pushed Hildebrand to 15th.
Additional notes on Panther Racing at Barber Motorsports Park:
*In three starts at Barber, Panther drivers have completed 270 of a possible 270 laps.
*Hildebrand's fifth-place start in 2012 was the first time he had either advanced to the second round of qualifications or the Firestone Fast Six.
*Panther's best finish at Barber was an 11th-place result with Dan Wheldon in 2010, the team's first start at the Birmingham racetrack.
*Sunday will mark Hildebrand's 36th career IndyCar Series start, 34 of which will be behind the wheel of the No. 4 National Guard car. Hildebrand made two starts with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in 2010. This will be his third start at Barber.
Broadcast Info:
The Indy Grand Prix of Alabama will be held on April 5th and broadcast live on NBC Sports Network at 3:00 pm (ET), with additional coverage provided by the IMS Radio Network, XM/Sirius Channel 211. Practice, qualifying and race coverage is also available on the IndyCar Mobile app from Verizon.

Hartford (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's advisory panel that's reviewing the Newtown school shooting is turning its focus to mental health.
The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission is scheduled to hear Friday from experts on issues related to mental health care, public awareness and discrimination.
The meeting comes days after the commission forwarded the governor some preliminary recommendations on gun laws and school security, including universal background checks for guns.
Commission members expect to present the governor with a comprehensive final report within the year.
Meanwhile, gun control advocates on Friday plan to deliver letters to legislative leaders, who are crafting a bipartisan bill that addresses the shooting. The letters come from Newtown victims, survivors, clergy and

Lindsey Vonn took a nasty spill in the first run of Wednesday's Women's Giant Slalom, meaning their will be no medal for the American skier (at least not today).
Vonn, who was leading, lost control about half way down, spun around and fell hard on her hip, injuring her finger in the process, too. The mountain itself did not do her any favors, said a beat up Vonn afterward. .
"The course is breaking up at the bottom," Vonn said, holding ice on her finger, adding that her back and shin were hurting as well. "I got a little bit too inside and lost my outside ski. My knee came up and hit my chin. ... I don't know honestly how I hurt my hand.
"I'm just a little bit beat up right now," added Vonn, who also fell in the slalom leg of the super-combined last week. "Things don't seem to be quite going my way." [...]
"I was like a pretzel - so tangled up," Vonn said.
Vonn is set for an X-ray on her right hand, which will determine whether or not she skis in Friday's Slalom, the final women's alpine event of the Winter Games.
Julia Mancuso also felt the negative effects of Vonn's injury -- Mancuso's first run was flagged for a restart because officials were not done working on the course, forcing her to ski later, after conditions worsened and deteriorated.
"Well now its time to use that anger and fight scond run!!" Mancuso wrote on her Twitter account between runs. "That yellow flag in the GS was such... I just want to scream. I'm really miffed. Anyway, gotta take that energy and focus it for 2nd run."
Vonn said she felt "terrible" for Mancuso, a rival since they were kids.
"She's mad, she's frustrated, she's probably mad at me," Vonn said. "I feel terrible, and I hope she understands. I definitely didn't want that to happen."
The second run is scheduled to begin at 5:45 EST. You can follow the results live at the Vancouver 2010 site.

Big men, DBs highlight Bama's latest No. 1 class - The Washington Post
Saban will reserve his own class rankings until the players have proven themselves on the field. "I really do think that the most accurate way to be able to rank any recruiting class would be three years down the road," he said. This one certainly looks impressive with seven five-star recruits and seven Parade All-Americans plus Florida State transfer quarterback Jake Coker. Alabama got the top-rated prospect in Alabama, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Nick Saban's Alabama loads up on highly regarded recruits, of course - latimes.com
"They got a stud at every single position," said Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for Scout.com. "There's not one single area that they didn't fill with an impact type of kid. They can recruit nationally unlike anyone right now. They're on a different level."
National Signing Day 2014: Alabama reigns supreme; Roundup - College Football - Stewart Mandel - SI.com
Winning a national championship in the BCS era required nearly as much luck as it did talent, as the Crimson Tide can well attest. In 2011 and '12, Alabama was fortunate that enough other contenders lost in November to allow it to climb back into the top two. In '13, however, the Crimson Tide were unfortunate enough to be on the wrong end of the first-ever game-winning touchdown return of a missed field goal -- the dramatic 109-yard scamper by Auburn's Chris Davis. 'Bama is often favored to win titles, but only the most diehard Tide fan could annually expect something so inherently capricious.
Alabama rules signing day_ again _ and USC surges - The Washington Post
And as usual, most of the Southeastern Conference got glittering grades from the experts. None better than Alabama. The Crimson Tide sat atop the rankings for Rivals, Scout, 247sports and ESPN. Alabama signed six of 33 players given five-star ratings by Rivals, including Rashaan Evans, a linebacker from Auburn High School who didn't decide to roll with the Tide until Wednesday, passing joining his hometown Tigers. No other school had more than three five-stars. "He kind of lapped the field," Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network said about Saban.
Florida State, Alabama have huge recruiting days | Tampa Bay Times
While FSU landed the top class in the state and one of the best in the country, it and everyone else lagged far behind consensus top-ranked Alabama. "They're the best in the country," Nee said. "And it's not close." The Crimson Tide had Rivals' and 247Sports' No. 1 class each of the past four seasons, but this was the most decorated class of coach Nick Saban's career. Alabama gained six five-star talents in a class Rivals national recruiting director Mike Farrell called, "historically good." Alabama picked up the country's top recruit (defensive end Da'Shawn Hand) plus the No. 1 offensive tackle, No. 1 center and No. 2 athlete. The coronation became complete after the nation's No. 1 linebacker, Rashaan Evans, announced on national television he would sign with the Tide — even though he went to Auburn High School and his dad played for the rival Tigers. "To go in and get a legacy out of Auburn, that's a message," Farrell said.
National Signing Day -- Alabama Crimson Tide lands recruits on national signing day - ESPN
All told, Alabama signed a college football best 19 ESPN 300 athletes, the most since Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007. His first recruiting class finished a lackluster 17th nationally, according to ESPN. But given a full calendar year to crisscross the recruiting trail, Saban and his staff thrived. From 2008 on, Alabama never failed to finish lower than third in the ESPN Class Rankings, becoming the only program in the country to do so. "I've never heard anybody say they've had a bad class," Saban said. "I've never heard anybody say they haven't identified their needs. "So I'm going to say the same thing: We had a good class and we sort of identified our needs."
Dorm Report: Usual suspects dominate 2014 recruiting class | Fox News
Alabama lost out on a chance of winning its third consecutive BCS national championship when its perfect season was ended by Auburn in the Iron Bowl, a performance which was followed up by a lackluster showing in a loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, but the Crimson Tide have wasted no time in attempting to correct their late-season woes and get back to being the cream of the crop. Of the Tide's initial 25 commitments, they have locked down five five-star recruits, according to Rivals.com (only four other programs were able to nab more than one).

That can be seen with the six players outside of the SEC footprint that Alabama expects to sign Wednesday on the first day of the signing period. One already is on campus in quarterback David Cornwell of Norman, Okla. Players in the South grow up understanding the impact of the Crimson Tide. Now, players in the Midwest and on the West Coast do, too. "It does make the team interesting and it spices things up," said incoming recruit Keith Holcombe, who is from Tuscaloosa. "Growing up in the South, you have a certain personality down here. Bringing players in from all over the country, it makes Alabama the best. You seek the best, and you feed off one another."
