The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory through 6 am on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014. The wind may feel like minus-20 degrees. Here are safety tips from Jeff Paul, director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management:
Based on information received from our weather partners, we anticipate that the temperatures will sharply drop as we head towards sunset.
In addition, as temperatures drop below freezing, standing water will freeze and potentially cause hazardous road conditions. The low temperatures may remain with us for the remainder of the week.
Morris County residents in need of shelter during this bitterly cold weather may contact the Morris County Office of Temporary Assistance at 973-829-8176 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. After those hours they may call 2-1-1 for assistance.
When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced.
Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually expend your body's stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature.
Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won't be able to react accordingly.
Hypothermia is most likely to occur at very cold temperatures, but may also occur at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water.
Frostbite is an injury to the body caused by freezing. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and color in affected areas – most often involving the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can permanently damage the body and severe cases can lead to amputation.
The risk of frostbite is increased in people with reduced blood circulation and among people who are not dressed properly for extremely cold temperatures.
How long it takes to get frostbite depends on how you dress, how cold the temperature is and how active you are in the cold. Wearing multiple layers, loose fitting clothing, mittens and face protection all help prevent frostbite.
As part of preparing for the impending cold, the Morris County Office of Emergency Management encourages following these guidelines to promote safe activities throughout this week:
- Stay indoors during extreme cold temperatures
- If you must go outside, wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. The outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent.
- Wear mittens, which are warmer than gloves.
- Wear a hat. A hat will prevent loss of body heat.
- Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs.
- Walk carefully on snowy, icy, walkways.
- Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack—a major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.
- Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly.
- Watch for signs of frostbite. These include loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately.
- Watch for signs of hypothermia. These include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
If the pipes freeze, remove any insulation or layers of newspapers and wrap pipes in rags. Completely open all faucets and pour hot water over the pipes, starting where they were most exposed to the cold (or where the cold was most likely to penetrate).
Maintain ventilation when using kerosene heaters to avoid build-up of toxic fumes. Refuel kerosene heaters outside and keep them at least three feet from flammable objects.
Conserve fuel, if necessary, by keeping your residence cooler than normal. Temporarily close off heat to some rooms.
If you will be going away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, set to a temperature no lower than 55ºF.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- So what else happened in 2013?
In addition to Baptist Press' annual recap of the most read-stories of the year (
), BP's staff suggests the following stories as representative of Southern Baptists' ministry and witness to a world in need of Christ's transformation and healing.
Hannah Gay, Mississippi pediatrician, sees God's hand in baby's HIV cure
Hannah Gay, an associate professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, was in international headlines in March after she and her colleagues reported eradicating HIV in an infant. The baby, who remains anonymous, was born to an HIV-infected mother and received aggressive treatment. Upon the mother's return to the hospital after several months, the baby showed no signs of replicating the virus. Gay, a former International Mission Board missionary in the Horn of Africa 20 years ago, credits God with curing the baby, while medical experts have called it a "functional cure." The New England Journal of Medicine reported that only time will tell whether the child, now 3, is only in remission or in fact experiencing a "sterilizing cure," in which all viral traces are completely eradicated from the body. Gay refers to herself as the "shiest pediatrician in America," and with her husband Paul continues to teach Bible drill at Trace Ridge Baptist Church in Ridgeland, Miss.

U.S. pastor Saeed Abedini marks one year in Iran prison
As of Sept. 26, pastor Saeed Abedini, an Iranian-born U.S. citizen, had been in an Iranian prison for more than a year. He was sentenced to eight years in prison last January on charges of undermining the Iranian government by planting house churches and trying to turn the country's youth from Islam, charges the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom called "trumped-up." While imprisoned, Abedini has undergone harsh interrogations, torture and solitary confinement and has been denied medical treatment. On Dec. 12, Abedini's wife Naghmeh testified before the U.S. House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee. "It has been a struggle as a mom," she testified, "watching my 7-year-old and my 5-year-old cry themselves to sleep every single night for the last 444 days, and knowing that unless we get Saeed out quickly, he might serve the eight years or even more -- or he might not even survive that prison sentence."

Anti-pornography initiative gets national push at SBC
In June, Baptist Press ran a Q&A with Florida pastor Jay Dennis, founder of "Join 1 Million Men" (join1millionmen.org), to preview the launch of a nationwide anti-pornography emphasis at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Houston. The movement calls Christian men to commit to sexual purity and, specifically, to protect themselves and their families from the devastation caused by pornography. In a women's prayer component, Dennis' wife Angie urged women to pray up, speak up and join the fight against pornography. The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and WMU (Woman's Missionary Union) are Join 1 Million cosponsors of the initiative.

N.M. court reflects 'seismic shift' to sexuality-based 'state-established religion.'
In August, an attack on religious liberty was evident in the New Mexico Supreme Court's ruling that two Christian photographers violated the state's Human Rights Act by refusing to photograph a same-sex "commitment ceremony," Southern Baptist commentators said. Religious liberty, Justice Richard Boson wrote, must be subordinated to the state's anti-discrimination laws, and the photographers -- and by extension others -- are "compelled by law to compromise the very religious beliefs that inspire their lives."

Gay marriage rulings: New ministry situations on the horizon
Though the Supreme Court's ruling against traditional marriage in June was a "dark day in American history," Jeff Iorg and other seminary leaders urged believers to accept the reality and move on to discussing how to minister in a new context. "Challenging new ministry situations are on the horizon," Iorg, president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary near the epicenter of the gay marriage movement, wrote in a blog post.

Texas enacts abortion restrictions
In July, the Texas legislature passed sweeping abortion restrictions following weeks of protests, lobbying and debate from both sides in the abortion debate. The bill banned most abortions after 20 weeks' "post-fertilization," required ambulatory care standards for abortion facilities and required abortion doctors to have hospital privileges within 30 miles of their practices. The bill also required abortion doctors to be present when any abortion-inducing drug, including RU-486, is administered. In October, a three-judge panel upheld the Texas abortion law, stating that challenges to the law's constitutionality likely would fail. The ruling cleared the way for the law to take effect.

SBC resolution condemns sexual abuse of children
Noting that "instances of sexual abuse have been perpetrated within Southern Baptist congregations, churches of other denominations, and other Christian ministries," messengers to the SBC's 2013 annual meeting reiterated a call to protect children from sexual predators. The resolution, building on the convention's 2008 special report that called on Southern Baptists to report those suspected of child sexual abuse to legal authorities, reminded Southern Baptists of their "legal and moral responsibility to report any accusations of child abuse to authorities in addition to [not in lieu of] implementing any appropriate church discipline or internal restoration processes" (parenthetic supplied). The resolution also called on [1] churches to utilize background checks for staff and volunteers who work with children; [2] pastors and church leaders to implement "sound policies" to protect the children placed in the church's trust; [3] all Southern Baptists to "cooperate fully with law enforcement officials in exposing and bringing to justice all perpetrators, sexual or otherwise, who criminally harm children"; and [4] convention leaders and employees to "utilize the highest sense of discernment in affiliating with groups and/or individuals that possess questionable policies and practices in protecting our children from criminal abuse."
My Hope America with Billy Graham garners national support
Billy Graham marked his 95th birthday with My Hope America with Billy Graham, a layperson-led evangelistic outreach in homes, churches, prisons, businesses and public venues across the U.S. that was billed as Graham's last public sermon. As the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association continues to receive stories of the initiative's impact, Graham's own pastor Don Wilton, who helped BGEA develop My Hope, is keeping the outreach alive through the church he leads, First Baptist in Spartanburg, S.C. The church is "designing and devising a multiple approach to continue sharing My Hope with Billy Graham with small and large groups as well as individuals and we see no end in sight," Wilton said in one of several articles Baptist Press published in December on My Hope.

Miss. church seeks racial reconciliation
First Baptist Church in Oxford, Miss., ushered in a celebration of racial unity when it apologized for its 1968 decision to bar blacks from worship there. Since apologizing, First Baptist has participated in a community-wide interracial worship service, taken aim with local black congregations for partnerships in evangelism and ministry and experienced moments of personal reconciliation between white and black believers, Baptist Press reported in October. "The bottom line is that something has been done that is wrong," First Baptist Pastor Eric Hankins said of the 1968 exclusivity. "We've recognized it, and we're going to leave our gift at the altar until we go get this right so we can be correct in our worship. That's the appropriate response to a sin of the past."

Chinese couple's legacy in NYC is 7-story multi-church meeting place
The frugality and faithfulness of New York City church planting couple Samuel and Katty Wong enabled them to build the seven-story Chinese Promise Baptist Church, funded largely from their personal savings. Why seven stories? "We hope every Sunday we will have many churches inside the building. Somebody can use each floor to worship on," Wong said when Baptist Press ran the story in September. "In New York, it is not easy to get space, and we want to share the building."

At BYU, Mohler cites theological divide with Mormons, common religious freedom concerns
In October, Baptist Press reported on an address by R. Albert Mohler Jr. at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in which the Southern Baptist seminary president noted key theological differences with Mormons, while asserting common religious freedom concerns. "I am not here because I believe we are going to heaven together, but I do believe we may go to jail together," said Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at the Latter-day Saints' premier educational institution. The "moral revolution" occurring in America will have "grave and devastating human consequences," Mohler said in calling for Mormons and evangelicals to work together in defense of religious freedom and traditional marriage. Mohler is scheduled speak again at BYU on Feb. 25 in a nationally televised campus-wide forum.

Church's Hmong, Hispanic, deaf outreach parallel its Cooperative Program commitment
Valley Baptist Church in Appleton, Wis., was one of a more than a dozen churches featured in Baptist Press in 2013 as strong proponents of the Cooperative Program, Southern Baptists' channel for supporting state, national and international missions. Valley Baptist members aim to "take seriously supporting the work of taking the Gospel to all places in the world," says Larry Creamer, pastor of the church where about 200 people worship on Sundays. Creamer led the church to increase its CP giving from 10 percent to 14.5 percent. "People without Christ need to be prayed for," he said. "They need to have people around them living a solid Christian life before them." Valley Baptist members are active in a variety of community, associational and state convention activities as well as their support of the Cooperative Program. Read at the entire article
or search for Northborough, Mass.; Marion, Iowa; Grand Prairie, Texas; Price, Utah; and Vacaville, Calif., among other articles from 2013 that show Southern Baptist churches active in reaching out with the Gospel and supporting Kingdom work through the Cooperative Program.
World Hunger Fund now 'Global Hunger Relief
In June and September, Baptist Press published articles about a major new initiative related to global hunger. To help raise awareness about Southern Baptists' effectiveness in hunger ministries, a new name -- Global Hunger Relief -- is taking the place of the World Hunger Fund. Because hunger donations are channeled through the International and North American mission boards, those funds become a vital part of Southern Baptist mission strategies to impact the world for Christ. A new website is being developed at www.GlobalHungerRelief.com, and the GHR initiative will officially launch at the 2014 SBC annual meeting in Baltimore.

The Questions:
Bull_Trojan: With 3 tough opponents, is EMU "that bad" or do you expect EMU to be more competitive in their "winnable games", this week at UB, at Army and vs the other Michigans?
Alex Alvarado: Like most teams in the MAC, we have had our fair share of "unwinnable" games and unfortunately our record has to suffer. I'm still pretty confident in our chances against those four teams, but if the Ball State game has any indication of what EMU will be doing the rest of the season, then 4 wins is about as good as it could get for us?
AA: We sure are seeing a lot of underachieving coaches around the country get fired in these last couple of weeks, haven't we? To say English is on the hot seat is an understatement, and I know there are plenty of people who want nothing more than to see Ron English gone right now. Problem is, if he were to be fired, who will take on the responsibilities as head coach as well as the defensive coordinator? With that said, I doubt our new athletic director Heather Lyke will fire him any time this month.
AA: Khalil Mack is a monster. If Mack truly is the guy that the "NFL Draft experts" drool over, it'll be a rough day for the big men up front.
AA: The local writers out here didn't want to talk about it too much, but English made it clear that the 2012 team was pretty cocky after the 6-6 season (I know, I know) Latarrius Thomas, Bridger Buche, Trey Hunter and Willie Williams were all missed going into the '12 season. Nick Olds' preseason injury and the lack of production by Javonti Greene didn't help too much that season either.
AA: Whether we have the football Ontario Sandwich trophy or not, Jimmy John's is always across the street from campus, if that answers your question.

Diana Smith thumbs through a yellowed photo album that contains pictures of her daughter, Misty Copsey, first as a smiling baby girl, then a precocious toddler.
On the pages where her blossoming teenage years should be, news clippings about her disappearance fill the space.
That's because Misty never came home after visiting the Puyallup Fair on Sept. 17, 1992, and is presumed dead. She was 14 years old.
Now Puyallup police are asking people to look through their own photo albums for pictures from in or around the Puyallup Fairgrounds on that date more than 21 years ago. Even a seemingly small detail -- a face in the background, a glimpse of the blue sweater Misty may have been wearing -- could yield a clue in the cold case.
Who was she with? When was she last seen at the fair? These are questions police detectives hope to answer by searching other people's images from that day.
Police Det. Don Bourbon admits it's a long shot. And Smith said she's not optimistic that anything will come of it. Then again, it might.
"If something comes of it, it would be a wonderful thing," Smith said. "You never know who could've seen her down there. They could've seen her and not realized what they were seeing."
The FBI had success earlier this year identifying the culprits of the Boston Marathon bombings in part due to photos and videos people submitted from smartphones and other digital devices. In 1992, however, technology was much less advanced. Back then, people captured pictures on film, which then had to be processed on paper in a darkroom. Home videos were taken on VHS recorders the size of a shoebox.
Already Puyallup Police detectives have scoured 142 photos provided by the Puyallup Fair, Bourbon said. Misty wasn't in any of them.
In 2009, a News Tribune series, "The Stolen Child," exposed gaps, miscues and oversights in the original inquiry into Copsey's disappearance by Puyallup Police and other law enforcement agencies. Spurred by the story, a new generation of investigators rebooted the case.
Police insisted Copsey was a runaway, then later pursued her case as an active homicide investigation. It is now considered a cold case. Bourbon has a picture of Misty on his office wall, as well as those of two other missing persons.
"We were sitting around at one of our cold-case meetings and we started throwing out ideas," Bourbon said, explaining the new appeal for photographs from the public.
Misty called her mother Sept. 17, 1992 from downtown Puyallup to say she missed her bus home after a night out with a friend, according to reports. She never returned home.
In 1993, jeans, socks and underwear were found in a ditch along State Route 410. Forensic evidence wasn't able to link the clothes to Copsey, but her mother said the jeans belonged to the missing girl.
Bourbon doesn't expect a huge volume of pictures from that day, when Huey Lewis and The News was the headline act at the grandstand. Most people were probably focused on family and friends.
Still, he asks that pictures and video be emailed to Bourbon at firstname.lastname@example.com, or mailed to attention Detective Bourbon, 311 W. Pioneer Ave., Puyallup, WA 98371.

Chris Bosh just spoke for the first time about an abdominal injury that will sideline him indefinitely, and he gave an interesting, if slightly confusing, answer on his future status. The Miami Heat forward was asked when he might return to the court, and he said, as of now, the only way was if the season was extended.
BOSH: "This season has to be extended for me to play."— Joseph Goodman (@MiamiHeraldHeat) May 14, 2012
That could mean a few different things. Technically, it could mean that he's available to return before Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers, when the Heat would know they were not sweeping the series. However, it's more likely that Bosh would not return until the Eastern Conference Finals at the earliest, assuming the Heat even beat the Pacers and get there.
There's also a chance that even that timeline could be optimistic.
After hearing Bosh and the team speak, I would be surprised if he plays before the Finals. If they make it that far.— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) May 14, 2012
Bottom line: Heat fans should not expect Bosh back in the lineup for a while.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Drama, Independent, ThinkFilm, Warner Independent Pictures, New on DVD, The Weinstein Co., Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, DVDs, CinematicalThis week is overflowing with potentially interesting indie DVD releases. What Would Jesus Buy?, an entertaining documentary directed by Rob VanAlkemade and produced by Morgan Spurlock, asks a very serious question in comedic form. As I wrote in my review, the film follows Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping Choir on a trek across America as they deliver an anti-shopping, anti-materialism, pro-Christmas message, bolstered by the trappings of fundamentalist religion. The DVD from Arts Alliance America includes deleted scenes, an 8-minute public access show featuring Reverend Billy, the Choir and Morgan Spurlock, and printable lyrics of the Choir's customized Christmas carols.
Theodore Braun's doc Darfur Now "is solely about the power and the conviction" of six people who have made a difference in Sudan, according to our own Christopher Campbell. "If there's one flaw with the film, it's that it almost conclusively portrays the Darfur problem as no longer a problem." One of the film's producers is Don Cheadle, who also appears along with George Clooney. The DVD from Warner Independent includes additional scenes and an introduction and commentary with Braun.
Woody Allen may not be thought of nowadays as an "indie" auteur, but, really, how many directors enjoy his creative freedom? I admire his untiring work ethic, but many of his recent films feel half-chewed, and Cassandra's Dream is no exception.
Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell play ne'er do well brothers who get tangled up in a murderous plot with their Uncle Howard (Tom Wilkinson). A half-dozen choice scenes and a gloomy atmosphere don't make up for a story that feels very familiar and a plot resolution that Allen has used before. The DVD from The Weinstein Co. appears to be a bare bones edition.
Grace is Gone got roughed up by some critics, but Cinematical's James Rocchi was very impressed by John Cusack's performance, acting "in a way we've never seen him before," and the direction by James C. Strouse: "Grace is Gone has the look of life, and the glow of art." Cusack plays a man struggling with how to explain to his two young daughters that their mother has died in Iraq. The DVD from The Weinstein Co. includes a conversation on the film, a featurette on the inspiration for Grace and another on TAPS, a tragedy assistance program.
In the words of Scott Weinberg, while Paul Schrader's The Walker is not completely successful "as a crime thriller or a pulpy 'whodunnit' -- it does turn out to be an unexpectedly candid character study that features a supremely solid cast of characters," and holds special interest "if you'd like to see many of the author's old themes and ideas, only transplanted into the fake and facile world of upper-crust D.C. utopia." Woody Harrelson stars. The DVD from ThinkFilm includes a "making of" feature, trailer and gallery.

Have You Met Rutgers-Newark?
R. Brian Ferguson
Dr. R. Brian Ferguson's research centers on warfare, seeking to understand the biological and cultural causes of human conflict. A self-described historical anthropologist, he is an expert in the anthropology of war, including ethnic conflicts, tribal warfare, the impact of expanding states on indigenous war patterns and the collapse of states. His 1995 book, Yanomami Warfare: A Political History, challenges popular assumptions about the Yanomami tribe in the Amazon, and has sparked debate within his field.
Ferguson leads the Working Group on Political Violence, War and Peace at Rutgers' Center for Global Change and Governance, which brings together scholars and experts in public forums.
Ferguson's other area of interest, the cultural history of the New York City Police, is the subject of one of his courses, and one of his texts is the book Gangs of New York, which was made into a popular 2002 film. As part of that course, Ferguson takes students on an extensive walking tour of Chinatown and Little Italy, visiting many of the sites referenced by the film. Ferguson, however, provides his students with historically accurate information on the gangs of that era and their violent power struggles, and explains how that street violence eventually evolved into organized crime.
Ferguson's work in the classroom has been recognized by students and administrators alike; he was honored with the Scholar-Teacher Award in 2002, and the Henry J. Browne Award for Excellence in Teaching a decade earlier.
Ferguson holds undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in anthropology from Columbia University.

good for jen to show her abs to prove she is not prego. what a sensible comment w/o trying to be a saint. so natural altho still want to see her as a bio mother (don't like adoption myself). sure will be a great mother. she has proven that by being indifferent to her mother, gaining weight and out of spotlite.

dear perfection2011 Jennifer aniston is 43 and she just turned that on the 11th of february. She is not old. Sorry but jenifer lopez is not in the same class as Jennifer aniston in my opinion. Now lopez in my opinion need to dress a little more sometimes respectful because she has children and she is some body's mother. especially when she wear those skin tight jump suits..all the times.most of the time jennifer dresses with respect.. So according to you most of the female celebrities don't have respect and dignity because they all show some type of skin. by the way Jennifer has earned it. Oh yes I forgot maybe you are perfect that is why your name is perfection.No one is perfect but god.
Perfection2011 2 years
@Mparker11 I guess you are right - she probably thinks she is jennifer LOPEZ not aniston - she is too old to be doing this - appears a fool - oh her body rocks photo shopped or not she has a good bod for 45 - but seriously she is not some young starlet - if you want dignity and respect you have to earn it
Mparker11 2 years
That is your opinion but if you had to tell everyone in hollywood to cover up you would run out of words. I don't think she is showing too much. in fact it is the same look of a halter top or a bikini bathing suit. and in case you didnot know they are calling the forties the new 3oth's today and the new fifty's is the new 4oth's. Jennifer is turning back the hands of times. she is still young in her forties. Even you have to age. But in my opinion age is just a number and it how you look and feel that matters. There is one thing I detest a person who cannot tell the truth. Truth be told Jennifer looks youngr than most 20 year olds
Mparker11 2 years
my reply do make sense.Let me spell it out for you. Most jealous women like you are not going to give a women the credit that she deserve. most men will because women are more sexier to men than women. so when a group of men say you are who are we to believe you or the group of men. i think she is sexy because I believe in giving people the credit that they deserve. How do you know she is dull do you personally know her.Your answer is no. so you are the crazy one.but I can see how sexy she is in her pictures. As far as being dull speak for your self. now I hope you can make some sense out of that.

@jenwils You must be kidding she is the sexiest celebrity of all times. Didn't you read the article in the men health magazine. now they where men. i don't expect you to feel the same way because women are so jealous of each other.

you are so right because she has the most gorgeous legs in hollywood

you act like she's the art director on the shoot, learn a little about how it works....they ask, she answers (starting to lighten up on frick and frack as well with the same mundane "marriage" stories) so just get used to it...if she said "I don't want to talk about marriage" you'd say she's bitter so whatever...I will say that they made her normally gorgeous legs look like she's rocking cankles (we know that isn't so)

You must be a nun. she looks hot just like the rest of hollywood. She is a celebrity you know and she looks great.I say if you got it flaunt it. don't you wish you could.

Excuse me she didnot bring up her marriage. she is talking about marriage in general. At least she is not bad mouthing anyone so please give jen some credit.why feel sorry aleast she hasnot adopt a football team to drag from place to place just to make herself look like a humanitarium.
Perfection2011 2 years
Once again she has to bring up her marriage - the only card she has - and no she will never be sexy - remember she thinks she's 20 something but no you are in your 40's wearing a bra - desparado and a month or two ago she was talking about how she would never wear extensions again -hypocrite Do feel sorry for her that she has to cont face the baby rumors - whether she wants one or not - that has to suck to have ppl always speculating and talking about it- it is her choice and decision

Stat attack - the bare facts ahead of Crystal Palace's trip to Sunderland
9:00am Saturday 15th March 2014 in Crystal Palace By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has described the last 10 games of the Premier League season as "10 cup finals" as he seeks to steer his side away from the dreaded relegation places.
Palace will be desperate to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Southampton.
The blank against Southampton means the Eagles have now scored less goals than any other Premier League side, but for the vast majority of the game their defence continued to look robust.
Central to this fine rearguard effort was left back Dean Moxey, who won an impressive 83 per cent of his challenges.
Yannick Bolassie has earned high praise for his excellent dribbling ability this term, with the winger's willingness to take his opposite man a key asset in the Eagles' offensive play.
The EA Sports player performance index shows that he utilised this skill to great effect on Saturday, as he completed six dribbles – the most in the entire league.
Captain fantastic Mile Jedinak has led by example for the Eagles this term, with the Australian excelling in all areas of the pitch all season.
His importance to the Eagles is probably demonstrated best by the fact that he has featured in 2,520 minutes this term, the third most of any outfield player in the league.
Thomas Ince was signed by Pulis to bring added pace and width to the Eagles' offensive play, so what may come as a surprise to many is that he has also impressed defensively too.
The PPI shows that he has won a superb 81 per cent of his challenges this term.

HIT Dock Workers Strike(葵涌貨櫃碼頭工人罷工2), Central, HK
The World > Asia > China > Hong Kong
About a thousand people braved heavy rain to join a rally outside the Cheung Kong Center in Hong Kong, April 17, 2013. The crowd support a group of striking dockers who are demanding better pay and working conditions. Protesters urged tycoon Li Ka-Shing, who controls the port operator, Hongkong International Terminals, to hold talks with the dockers' union over their demands.
以千計的香港市民,於2 013年4月19日傍晚,頂著滂沱大雨集結在中環長江中心外,支持罷工中的貨櫃碼頭工人,示威者要求城中首富李嘉誠參與工潮談判,李嘉誠控制葵涌國際貨櫃碼頭的股權,工人要求改善待遇及工作環境,已持續罷工逾3星期。

Overview and History
Hong Kong sits on the south coast of China, on the Pearl River Delta. It's got a population of more than seven million people and is one of the most densely populated places on earth. It also appears to be putting into place the template for population management, which cities around the world will be implementing as soon as they can afford it. More on that later.
Archaeological evidence dates human activity beneath present-day Hong Kong back to the stone age. The area was first settled by people from the mainland during the Han dynasty, around the beginning of the common era (the P.C. term for when B.C. changed to A.D. Whoa!)
For hundreds of years, Hong Kong was a small fishing community and haven for travelers, with a few pirates here and there. Then whitey showed up.
Western influence reached China at the beginning of the 15th century, when all those great explorers in boats were cruising for loot in strange and mysterious places. Tea and silk were the commodities connecting eastern Europe to China, and Hong Kong was known as a safe harbor through which to pass. When you're carrying the Queen's tea, it's especially important to avoid ARRRRRRguments with pirates. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.
Seriously folks -- in the eighteenth century Britain was doing a booming business with China, offering Indian opium to balance their extensive purchases of fine porcelains and everything else. The opium was ordained to be for medicinal purposes only, of course.
Well, as you may imagine, the Chinese got sick of opium fiends junking up the place, so they attempted to stop the British suppliers, to no avail. The Opium Wars resulted and ended with China ceding Hong Kong to the British, in fear of their massive naval power. This took place in the year 1841.
Colonization soon followed, Hong Kong shot up in value as an international port, and its population increased dramatically. In 1898 Britain acquired additional territories on a 99 year lease -- expiring in 1997. Does that year sound familiar? Read on.
In the 20th century Hong Kong changed hands several times. The British surrendered it to Japan during World War Two, then took it back after Japan's defeat, then gave it to China later. Immediately following the war, Hong Kong served as a safe haven for hundreds of thousands of Chinese refugees, while the Chinese National Government was losing its civil war against communist leadership.
The population of Hong Kong exploded as corporations seeking to escape Chinese isolationism arrived and set up shop. Cheap labor in the textile and manufacturing industries steadily built up the economy and ensured foreign investment. By the end of the 20th century Hong Kong had become a financial mammoth offering banking services to the world.
In 1997 Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule with a few stipulations in place to guarantee its economic autonomy, as much as possible. The phrase "one country, two systems" was coined by the Chinese to describe the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong.
Getting There
Well, where do you want to get to from the Hong Kong International Airport? There are ferries servicing six mainland ports in the Pearl River Delta Region. Airport Express Railway connects directly to downtown Hong Kong, and it has been rated the best airport in the world multiple times.
The Airport Express Railway will get you into Hong Kong in about an hour, for $100. Public buses cost $10 and take a little longer. For direct service to your hotel you can take one of the hotel's private buses ($120+) or a taxi ($300+). As you can see, waiting time is optional for those who can afford it.
Here's a little blurb on travel times, with further information for access to nearby cities (cross-boundary transport).
Grab an Octopus card when you arrive. Octopus is the world's first electronic ticket-fare card system and the Hong Kong public transportation system is the world leader in people-moving. 90% of Hong Kongers get around on public transportation.
Octopus covers the Airport Rail line, buses, ferries, the rapid-transit MTR network, supermarkets, fast food outlets, phone booths... It's how to get around the cashless economy.
Nevermind the microchip built into it, you'll get used to having one of those on you at all times -- and soon they'll be internal! What do I mean? Many schools in Hong Kong even use the Octopus card to check attendance, because you read the card's data with an external scanner from a distance. This will the global norm soon. What if that chip is installed in your body? It's in the works baby!
The hilly Hong Kong terrain also demands some special modes of transportation. If you've been to Pittsburgh, you may have some idea of how cool it is to ride a cable car up the side of a mountain, overlooking a majestic harbor and city. Multiply that by about ten thousand and you've got Hong Kong: vertical-travel trams, moving sidewalks, and the world's longest outdoor escalator system.
People and Culture
The local currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) which is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Official languages are Chinese and English. You're on your own, baby! Dive into the swarming, throbbing, pulsing, crawling and teeming mix!
Things to do & Recommendations
The Peak Tower and its shopping Galleria are the biggest tourist attraction in Hong Kong so don't miss it.
Cool off in the Kowloon Park public indoor swimming pool!
After that, go see what's happening at the Hong Kong Fringe Club, a non-profit organisation which puts together exhibitions for international artists and performers.
Organize sports fans flock to the Hong Kong Stadium, but there's good news for disorganized sportistas too -- Mountain biking is now legal in the parks! Have at it, baby!
All this excitement is going to make you hungry. Springtime is traditionally the time to celebrate seafood, summer is for fruits, and winter steams with hot pot soups to keep you warm.
The best thing to do is go and find some dim sum. Dozens of plates of tasty small items, sort of like sushi but it's cooked, and the varieties are endless.
Since you won't be able to walk down the street without complete and total sensory overload, I'll just whap in the Hong Kong tourist board's guide to dining and leave you to your intuition.
Good luck, take it slow and above all -- DON'T SPIT OUT YOUR CHEWING GUM ON THE SIDEWALK. Gum is legal but there's a $500 fine for intentional littering. Enjoy!

The prequel to the Stainless Steel Rat. Slippery Jim is here a brash 17-year-old who has left his parents' porcuswine farm, planning to embark on a life of crime. The book opens with Jim bungling a bank job so that he can be arrested and sent to prison, where he plans to learn the art of being a master criminal. Deciding that the Bishop should be his mentor, Jim sets about proving himself worthy of the master's attention.
He eventually has to flee his home planet of Bit O' Heaven with the Bishop, but Garth, the captain of the ship who promised them safe passage, sells them into slavery. The latter part of the book details Jim's adventures on the planet Spiovente, a semi-industrial world fighting feudal wars with weapons smuggled in (against League regulations) by Captain Garth.

"The backstorry on Jim"
This was interesting and better developed than a lot of the other books in the series. it is defenitely fun to see where the rat came from and what shaped him. Moving away from the other books in the series seems to have given the author a fresh view that made this better than most of the later boos. this one is worth a credit.
"Thoroughly enjoyed it!!"
Yes. The narrator really made the characters come to life!
Other Stainless Steel Books, or maybe Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy.
The main one - Jim DiGriz
Robin Hood P.I.
"Harry Harrison at his best, with excellent narrati"
Harry Harrison is always guaranteed to provide hours of fun, specially so with the excellent narration by Phil Gigante
"The rat goes to school."
The story is a prequel giving the series background The villains are well drawn, as usual. The story is crafted better than some of the others. Fun!
The Bishop made the story work. This character explained the mind set of Jim Degris.
Phil Gigante showed his range in this narration. He is a star. He always makes good, entertaining stories better. His performance of Jim as a teen helped the entire series.
Yes. I will have that kind of time in about a year.
The production is always good in this series.
"A 'prequel' to the Stainless Steel Rat series"
This book maintains the general sense of the earlier books in the series. It feels a little strained at times, like the author was reading his notes from the earlier books, but is nevertheless a good read. If you liked the earlier books, you'll like this one.
"Still good"
A book from my early years. Still enjoyable. Maybe I have not grown up!
"This narration is a work of art"
Phil Gigante's narration is a work of art, he masterfully captures the progression of Jim diGriz from a teenager with a whiny voice to a self-assured criminal.

vacation rental description
6 Bedrooms + Library (add'l sleeping) 6 full bathrooms Maximum Capacity 21
The villa is one of the most unusual rentals available in the center of Rio de Janeiro. It looks/feels like a old mansion that has sat on the little gated street for a century. Yet is is only six years old. It was designed and built by Mike (a NYC design prof/hotel school grad) and run by Adan (a native of Mexico City transplanted to Rio while his wife completes her PhD). The two principals + craftsmen friends use the villa as a design lab to show their work to clients of their architectural and interior design business. It is ALWAYS a work in progress and the interior photos are apt to change from month to month. It is a high spirited and very fun spot for guests to stay while working or visiting in Rio.
In only this July and August we have thrown a villa wedding reception with tables on the stone street, a National Geographic film team, a family reunion for a former US naval attache serving in 1940s Rio, and served as a set for a new Brazilian movie with back up team of 56
villa rental amenities
The villa is available as a bare bone rental with only one maid to change linens and make beds for guests who want total privacy. On the other hand - the villa has a huge staff for the family or group who wants and needs lots of attention. The daily rental fee depends on the services guests need and is priced very well as compared to the five star hotel. we aim to top the service offered anywhere else in our city. Our planning starts with our first answers to inquiries. We can offer continental or full breakfasts, lunch, snacks, barbecues, and full sit down or buffet dinners. We are quite used to corporate, business, diploomatic, and family parties. We know the best purveyors for buying fresh ingredients, fine meats, great fish, etc. It is a fun spot and we love to throw a party for you.
We are in the process of developing an ala carte menu which will be published on our website the first week of September.
Adan, our concierge, has a staff of drivers, tour guides, packaged tour operators, and can help with detailed planning for your trip - from airport pick up until you depart (and even ship those things your forgot back home !!)
Mike handles all the email requests and helps guests who do not know the city and country (or south America) on how to arrange their time based on their interests.
One of the Villa staff members is a jazz musician and knows the RIo night life scene. Another is a set designer for Brazilian movies and knows what is hot in town at the moment.
IT has been a busy past three months with a total redo of the villa + movie shoots + a lot of big events BUT we will have a complete on-line villa photo scrapbook, manual, and menus within 6 weeks. The villa is closed for two weeks in August as we are redoing all of our wood floors and rooms as well as installing new wallpapers and lighting in many areas.
1. we are totally rented for all of the WORLD CUP PERIOD - we can only suggest properties much smaller than the villa
2. we can not offer rentals less than 5 days for large groups - it is just too time consuming to do a changeover after 21 guests have been with us for a short period. There are no short term stays for large groups at regular rack rental fees
3. although we can house up to 21 - there is only room for 6 couples in total privacy. 21 is the maximum but 12 to 16 more ideal
4. we can for the very large group use the villa + our other penthouse also advertised on homeaway + neighboring pousada and hostels
5. rental rates VARY according to the number of guests and services requested. We are indeed an economical alternative for a large group and offer features not easily available in most aparament or villa rentals.
6. we LOVE a party BUT do not rent to groups who do not agree to abide by the villa quiet hours. We are in a family neighborhood and love our neighbors. We do not rent to any group without asking lots of questions as we wish to make sure our staff, our villa, and our neighborhood are respected.
The villa is probably one of the most unusual rentals available in Rio de Janeiro. It looks like a very old mansion that has sit on the little gated street for a century. Yet is only six years old. It was designed and built by Mike (a NYC dentist-grad of hotel restaurant school) and run by Adan (a native of Mexico City transplanted to Rio while his wife completes her PhD). The two principals + many artist friends use the villa as a design lab to show their work to clients of their architectural and interior design business. It is ALWAYS a work in progress and the interior photos are apt to change from month to month. It is a high spirited and very fun spot for guests to stay while working or visiting in Rio.
In the past 6 weeks we have organized a wedding party with street tables.
We have guested the National Geographic film team, a family reunion, a shooting location for new Brazilian popular movie and a US group of teen dancers performing thru Brasil
activities and attractions in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
Basically the villa is organized on 4 levels around a central atrium. All rooms open to the central atrium via balconies, gardens, or a glass roof which opens to the night sky and marvelous moon views.
Level one is a grand entrance foyer off the little street which we use for parties. A great modern kitchen with every possible culinary gadget, huge island, business center, and enough antique porcelain to serve 100. Off the kitchen is the new atrium (morning room) and a grand dining room. The atrium fireplace is undergoing restoration by the artist who completed faux painting in the restored Teatro Municpal Opera house. The ceiling opens electronically and the second floor balcony gives way to 3 bedroom suites - all with sitting areas and marble deluxe baths with jacuzzis. The dining room is great for a family having breakfast or a sit down for 24. Off these rooms is the wood paneled library with TV/Cinema area and our very special antique Titanic model which the house staff presented one day to the owner.
There is a smaill stone powder room off the back stone stairhall.
The second floor suites open by pairs of antique french doors or stained glass windows to the atrium. Each room makes for a great private sleeping and enterntaining space as sofas and easy chairs make it comfortable. These suites get heavy use and are usually redecorated, painted, wallpapered, slipcovered continually duriing the year.
The third floor is accessed by a stone stairway (with our little Budda in the corner) and panels of native birds and stained glass and a collection of both naif art and the owners original interior sketches for the house on the walls.
Once yo
Off the first part of the garden is a trellised walkway of local honeysuckle and some fresh fruit trees as well as a little herb garden. There are two small little cabanas off of this walkway which are kind of like 18th centruy wood ship cabins. They share a bath with shower. They have desks with plenty of bookshelves, hundreds of books, and are comfy and cool little spots - full oc character. At the end of the garden walk is a separate building which houses the Balinese Casa - two stories with a king size loft above and huge living room below which sleeps 4 on the banquette single beds. This house has a separate bath and shower with chicken coop type windows which look thru the glass roof all the way to the first floor.
u open the huge door to the third and fourth floor levels - you see the great little pool with its lion fountain,
a small sitting area with our birds in cages and the local birds drinking out of the feeders. The garden is ALWAYS a work in process as the plantings change continually. We try to keep it in flower year around with hanging planters, placas of bromiliads and orchids. THeir is a barbecue there and the staff lights the gas lanterns at sunset

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water.
Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth.
The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on.
The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood.
Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?"
Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept.
In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences.
Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.

---- — JACKSON, N.H. (AP) — Some people in northern New Hampshire are so eager for snow that they're hoping to set a record for the largest snow dance.
Crowds are being recruited by Black Mountain in Jackson and the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce to join fellow dancers and pay homage to the snow spirits on Saturday, Nov. 17, at Black Mountain.
There will be a bonfire and music to accompany the dancing to bring on the snow.

Wexler writes inter alia:
We could use a bit more of that at the U.S. Supreme Court and in Congress."President Obama was famously (and ludicrously) barraged with criticism for pointing to Sotomayor's "empathy" in support of her nomination. It turns out that empathy is a major theme of the justice's memoir. It is only when "people can't imagine someone else's point of view" that "things break down." Empathy, the author explains, is a product of listening closely to the words and needs of others."

I have been looking for an affordable, nice looking rug for a long time, but never really considered buying online. I feel in love with the Ruby Garden design and couldn't resist the price. It turns out buying from Overstock.com was an excellent idea. The rug arrived quickly, the colors are beautiful and the description was accurate. I am now shopping for a second rug for a different room on Overstock.com!
I wanted some color for my very neutral family room, and this fit the bill perfectly. We have dogs and kids, so I didn't want to spend a lot, or worry about what would happen to it, and for $***ish, this is perfect. The texture is woven like that of a kilim vs. a carpet pile, I was glad to have read the other reviews that pointed this out. That said, it's not rough or uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. We have wood floors, and the rubber backing meant we don't even need a rug pad. Those of you with dogs also will appreciate the rubber backing - not only does that mean it doesn't shift when there are in-house chase marathons, but when our elderly dog 'christened' the rug within 10 minutes of my putting it down, it was very easy to clean up, and fabulous that it didn't go through to the wood beneath. Love this rug! Wish it came in different colors, i'd buy them all!
This rug is absolutely beautiful. The colors are gorgeous. Only downfall is it is a very thin rug and not soft at all. The texture is more of an outdoor rug or kitchen rug. The price couldn't be beat so it will work for me!
Loved the colors and the size. I did not want a pile because we have dogs and this carpet has tight woven loops and easy to vacuum. It has a rubber back and will not slide, but since it is not a thick carpet you will need to put down a good quality under pad to give it some softness.
In general, the rug is as described and will be a great rug in a kitchen. There are some areas along one edge of the rug where the rubberized backing is coming up through the surface yarn. I want to trim the protruding backing, however; I am concerned that it could make the rug unravel later on.
Its very nice but be advised you may want to buy a zoombot because it does show every flock of dirt. Not sure why, but like the other reviewer my well trained dog immediately christened it, but it cleaned up immediately. The carpet is very thin, no pile and doesn't need any padding. So its a nice summer carpet.
Rug's colors are a deep color but the flowers are just bright enough to not appear gaudy. The flowers aren't as vivid in the picture so it doesn't look as 'busy' as it does in the picture. I love it!
The main issue is the carpet looks and feels very inexpensive (read: cheap). One review mentioned it was similar to a kilim rug, yet a kilim rug is softer with thicker loops; this rug is very thin. The rug makes "noise" when walked on - can even hear the dogs walk across it. Overall it looks and feels very cheap. The rug is suitable for an unfinished basement - or even outdoors - it looks/feels more like an outdoor rug. Too much hassle to return a large rug but will replace soon.
The rug is really pretty, colors are as shown and the red is very rich and vibrant. Not super thick, but it's completely functional and pretty under the dining room table.
The rug is exactly what I was looking for. It is under my dining area table and 4 chairs. It fills the space beautifully and is easy to take care of. I would recommend it for a high traffic area as the rug appears to be very durable.
