You sound like you have such a great, positive attitude, especially with your dh's illness and good for you for taking care of you and 21 pounds is wonderful and I think you will make it to 190 by your goal date. You can do it!!! Spark on!
And I agree, I love this site and I love this team and my other two teams too. I've made many new friends and I feel like we are in this together.

Well, for me, I'm the lowest weight(highest was 245) I have been in years... 193.1. Starting at 214 with SP, I am almost 21 pounds lighter. I am definitely "fitter". I hadn't used my Wii in over a year, and now I've done a Body Test 134 days in a row. I go through spells of exercising every day. I'm committed to walking the treadmill for 10 days at the moment. It is a start. I am faithful to wearing my pedometer every day. My goal is 190 by June 1. It IS do-able if I exercise daily and eat sensibly. I'm not in a race with myself to get the weight off. I just want to consistantly lose over time. I am actually enjoying my journey. My life has gone haywire with my DH's strokes, but I am still taking care of ME. Even the smallest thing I do to help ME stay sane is good. The weight loss is an added bonus.
SP has turned out to be a whole lot more than a weight loss plan... more of a balancing act and the tools to cope with life better.
AHTRAP and KTISFOCUSED!
I think people come and go as they need SP in their lives... it is nice to have a "homeroom" to come back to. It provides a way to see everybody's blogs and how they are doing.
Life ebbs and flows... so does Sparking. It feels good to be a part of something bigger than yourself, something that matters in the long run. Something that helps you become a better person, and allows you the ability to positively affect others' lives, too.
May your Spark Journeys be filled with joy and much success!
Peace be with you!
Step into the unknown with confidence! Trust that in the darkness of that first step there will either be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly!
I've lost 20, but I don't have any set program. Most of the loss came from just paying attention to what I eat, but I haven't been tracking anything, it seems like too much work to keep an accurate record - I mean, how do you account for "splash of marsala wine added because I was burning the chicken"? (yeah, yeah, i know, excuses, excuses)
Anyway, I've been trying to add in more exercise, but oddly, despite losing 20 pounds, I almost feel fatter. Objectively, it's probably not true, but since I haven't been taking measurements, my old joke of "Medium arms, and a XXL belly" seems even more apt at the moment.
Kind of frustrating, even though the scale is that much more friendly than it was back in September.

I was thinking the same thing. Well in the 7.5 months since I've joined, I have lost 17 pounds which isn't fantastic but I'll take it. I mostly do the 17 day diet which is pretty much no sugar or flour and I exercise 2 hours every weekday and try to get in activity on the weekend. I am still working on getting rid of some of the belly fat but otherwise I'm shaping up pretty well for a 60 year old. I have about 14 more pounds to lose and am hoping to get most of it off by June 17th when I leave on a cruise. How are you doing? What kind of program are you following?

Thought I'd throw out a new topic, as the others have dried up. Curious how many people are still checking into to SP regularly, and as to how we as a group are doing since we joined up.

Living With a Spinal Cord Injury - Lung Care
Breathing is usually something we do without thinking. But a spinal cord injury (SCI) may affect some of the muscles needed for breathing. This makes it hard to breathe, cough, and bring up mucus from the lungs, which leads to a greater risk of lung infections such as pneumonia.
How your breathing muscles are affected and what it means to your ability to breathe depends on which part of your spine was injured.
Recommended Related to Brain & Nervous System
At first, 14-year-old Austin Story resisted the family's plans to go hiking at beautiful Stokes State Forest on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 31. "He didn't want to go hanging out with adults because adults are too slow," recalls Army Lt. Colonel Shane Story, 48. "But we insisted because it was going to be our last part of a weekend vacation with friends in New Jersey. … We wanted him off the TV and the Xbox and outside, enjoying the forest and the hills." Despite his initial stubbornness, as soon...
Read the Winning the Battle article > >
- People with injuries lower on the spinal cord (below T12) usually don't lose control of these muscles and have no trouble breathing.
- People with SCIs high on the neck may need a ventilator. People with injuries between these levels have a partial loss of the breathing muscles but can usually still breathe on their own.
Preventing lung problems
There are things you can do to help prevent lung problems.
- Know the symptoms of pneumonia. If you have the symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. Talk to him or her about getting vaccinated for pneumonia and influenza. For more information, see the topic Pneumonia.
- Practice coughing. A forceful cough is important, because it will help you bring up mucus in the lungs, which can help prevent some lung complications. If your cough is weak and you have trouble bringing up mucus, you may need an assisted cough.
- Remove excess mucus from the lungs. Coughing may not bring up all the mucus. In this case, you may need chest physiotherapy and/or postural drainage.
- Practice breathing. Doing exercises, such as breathing out forcefully, can help strengthen the muscles you use for breathing.
- Don't smoke.
And there are things you can do that aren't directly related to your lungs.
- Sit up straight, and move around as much as possible. This helps prevent mucus buildup.
- Eat a healthy diet. Eating healthy foods will help keep you from gaining or losing weight. Being either overweight or underweight can lead to lung problems.
- Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water. This helps prevent the mucus in your lungs from getting thick, and it makes the mucus easier to cough up. If you have concerns with bladder control, talk to your doctor about how much and when to drink fluids.
Choking: What to do
Choking is a danger if you have an SCI, because the usual cough mechanism may not be strong enough to bring up the item that is choking you. If choking occurs, your caregiver should:
- Hit you sharply 4 times between the shoulder blades with the palm of the hand.
- Use an assisted cough 4 times.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until you stop choking.

Duncan's bill, which has 10 Republican co-sponsors, would enable the Census Bureau to only conduct a population survey.
"You hear that, Census Bureau? Population count only! You have no right to my personal information," Colbert said. "That belongs to Facebook."
Colbert mocked concerns that Census data could be used to create a national gun registry or, for "something even more sinister, tracking the corn harvest."
"It's like that horror movie — 'Aggregate Yield of the Children of the Corn,'" Colbert said.
As for concerns about Duncan's bill eliminating employment data, Colbert said we already have a reliable measure — the Nielsen ratings for "Maury."

D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is rapidly excreted in the urine. In the bladder, D-Mannose can adhere to undesirable foreign substances, preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder. Because insubstantial amounts of D-Mannose are used by the body, it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation.*
Suggested Use As a dietary supplement As a dietary supplement, take 1 level teaspoon 1 to 2 times daily. Take with water or unsweetened juice, such as cranberry juice. - Or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Does Not Contain: Not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

Rob's charity garden party success
10:30am Monday 24th March 2014 in News
FUNDRAISER Robbie Norton has donated £134 to Peaceful Place.
The Rochford charity helps improve the quality of life of people aged under 65 living with young onset dementia.
Robbie borrowed his friend Nicola Carter's front garden and, together with other volunteers, held a community event in Woodleigh Avenue, Leigh, attended by Southend mayor Brian Kelly.
Dan Lawrence, chief executive of Peaceful Place, said "The money raised will be used to pay for activities and entertainment in our day centre and really will make a difference.
"We are very grateful to Robbie and everyone who helped to make this event such a success."
A ladies' pamper evening will be held in support of Peaceful Place at the Freight House, Rochford on Friday, April 4, from 7pm to 10pm. Admission will cost £2.

Google's Eric Schmidt In Big Share Sell-Off
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt plans to sell roughly 42% of his stake in the internet company over the next year.
The 57-year-old will get rid of 3.2 million shares which - if sold at current prices - would mean a $2.5bn (£1.58bn) windfall.
The plan was revealed in a stock trading plan filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
It allows Schmidt, who was also Google's CEO until 2011, to spread the sale over one year to reduce the effect on its share price.
The documents reveal that he owns "approximately 7.6 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock" - a 2.3% overall stake in the company.
After the sale Schmidt would still be left with stock worth another $3.5bn (£2.2bn).
A Google spokeswoman would not comment on the sale, but Schmidt has been gradually reducing his stake in recent times.
In February 2012, he filed another one-year plan to offload another 2.4 million shares.
Schmidt is currently ranked 138 on the Forbes list of global billionaires with a net worth of $7.5bn (£4.75bn)
He passed the reins of the world's biggest search provider to Larry Page in April 2011.
Page and his co-founder, Sergey Brin, are the only people who own more of Google than Schmidt, each having about an 8.5% share.
There is speculation that the sale could be part of a move by Schmidt to 'diversify' his interests.
He recently went on a controversial "personal" trip to North Korea where he urged the secretive state to allow its people access to the internet.
And last week he also grabbed headlines by claiming that China runs the most "prolific and sophisticated" computer hacking operation in the world.

With an area encompassing a track and hobby shop, the nearly 14,000-square-feet state-of-the-art racing facility at Space Coast R/C is the ultimate pathway for high-speed competition enthusiasts. The venue offers track time to drivers of levels from avid racers to curious spectators. Drivers watch and control electric off-road 1/8 and 1/10 scale vehicles from the driver stand, which can accommodate up to 20 drivers, navigating them over the course's challenging turns and around sharp corners. Lap timing encourages racers to monitor their progress with increased speed, spurring them to take smoother turns and avoid bumping into the yellow tubing that forms the track's boundaries. After races, hobbyists can peruse the onsite pro-shop for new car chassis and replacement parts to keep their rides in top performing shape. Space Coast R/C also makes their venue available for guests looking to celebrate a variety of functions such as birthdays and business meetings.
When paintballers feel ready for action but aren't sure where they'd like to do battle, they point their browsers to www.paintballpromos.com. There they'll find packages for nearby paintball fields, so they don't have to litter their own backyards with empty oil barrels and fill tiny water balloons with tempera paint. Packages usually include the rental of a marker and mask; paintballs and air fills are an extra charge at the field.
At five locations up and down the coast, Cocoa Beach Jet Ski Rentals offers all sorts of water vessels for rent. The stock includes boogie boards, surf boards, and kayaks, while jet skis and boats are also available for those looking for speed or a chance to race Poseidon for pinks. Even if water sports aren't your thing, Cocoa Beach Jet Ski Rentals has rentable essentials for a day on the beach, including umbrellas and beach chairs.
At Hydro Flight Extreme Water Sports, pilots surge into the air on the wings of high-pressure funnels of water. The dynamic, water-based jetpack uses focused streams of seawater to break the bonds of gravity and lift riders into the air. Pilots direct their own pace and direction, with an instructor accompanying them below to lend assistance or fend off any krakens that want to give you a high-five.
The water's calm. Almost too calm. Nearly imperceptible ripples begin to form, soon evolving into bubbles reminiscent of a hair-raising monster movie. A figure erupts upwards, the water peeling away in sheets to reveal not a creature of the deep, but a person with their feet strapped into a strange device. The machine, called a Flyboard, projects two jets of water out from right beneath the rider's feet, causing her to soar through the air. This propulsion lends itself to acrobatics, helping riders perform tricks such as spins, flips, and dolphin-like dives from the air to the water and back again.
The owners of Jump Right In Flyboarding say such tricks are not hard to master. They started their company to give everyone a taste of this hard-to-describe, impossible-to-imitate water sport, and today they specialize in the sales, service, instruction and rentals of FlyBoards. With locations in Sebastian, Cocoa Beach, and Key Largo, they are some of the coast's most experienced operators.
The entire sky along Florida's Space Coast is like one giant movie screen, regularly showing the story of rockets—some manned, some unmanned, others guided entirely by dreams. They launch gracefully towards the heavens, where they break through Earth's atmosphere and float out beyond it. It's a mesmerizing display, one that serves as the focal point for Space Coast River Tours's Rocket Tour. The Blue Dolphin, the company's 44-foot USCG-certified pontoon river boat, serves as the tour's mode of transportation. Its retractable roof pulls back to reveal unobstructed views of the sky above for all of its 49 passengers.
Captains Mark and Michele Anderson, who are both certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, have plenty to explore even when rockets aren't taking flight. Specialty tours are available at an additional cost. During the holidays, they show passengers the lights and decorations along residential canals in Sykes Creek, handing out some egg nog or hot cocoa to complete the experience. The Banana River Lagoon Tour, meanwhile, remains a daily feature. For two hours, the boat tours the Banana River and floats into the habitats of the area's many birds, dolphins, manatees, and gators.

The Orange County District Attorney's office is on the hunt for a Lake Forest woman accused of defrauding her employer, the Orange County Social Services Agency, out of $150,000.
An arrest warrant is out for Nahid Bijaripour Vakilian, 55, Lake Forest, a supervisor at the Social Services Agency. She is believed to be in Iran, according to a press release for the Orange County D.A.'s office.
Meanwhile, a colleague of hers, Fereshteh Shafiee, 52, of Mission Viejo, was arrested today in connection with the elaborate scheme. Yet a third suspect, Shafiee's mother Iran Schafiee, is also at large, the D.A. said.
Vakilian was a supervisor for the In-Home Support Services program at the Social Services Agency, which helps residents who are unable to live at home safely without help.
In addition to working full time for the agency, Shafiee represented herself to Vakilian as a full-time caregiver for her parents, eligible for reimbursement from the state, the D.A. alleges.
Over the course of several months, Shafiee is accused of billing for 509 hours of care a month. This was in addition to the 173 hours spent at her job at the Social Services Agency.
"In a month with a total of 720 hours, Fereshteh Shafiee is accused of claiming to work 682 hours," says the press release.
Vakilian was fully aware that Shafiee's claimed hours were fraudulent, but she approved them anyway. Then Shafiee turned around and lent Vakilian $150,000, according to the D.A.
Vakilian is charged with one felony count each of misappropriation of public funds and medical insurance fraud with sentencing enhancements and allegations for over $100,00 in loss, property loss over $65,000, and aggravated white collar crime over $100,000, the D.A. reports.
Shafiee is facing the exact same charges as her Social Services colleague, according to the D.A.'s office. Her arraignment is scheduled for Thursday. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of eight years in state prison, according to the press release.
Shafiee is charged with one felony count of medical
insurance fraud and faces the same sentencing enhancements as her daughter and Vakilian. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of six years in state

Blaenau Ffestiniog is a historic slate mining town in Gwynedd though its population has declined from a peak of 12,000 to under 5,000 these days. Tourism now forms an important part of the economy with local attractions such as the Ffestiniog Railway and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns.
Football in these parts dates back to the 1880s with various local sides featuring in the archives. Just after the First World War
Blaenau Ffestiniog FC became one of the most powerful clubs in North Wales and other sides known as Town, Blue Stars, Juniors and Athletic have represented the town.
Cae Clyd is not the easiest to find if following the Sat Nav and is found up a narrow road going south out of the town. There used to be a stand which straddled the half way line on the far side from the entrance.I heard they 'borrowed for a while, before the Railway Authorities wanted it back. But to be honest it makes no difference to the beauty of the place, except perhaps those without a brolly when the heavens open.
Best View for a Goalie ever ?
But once you do find Cae Clyd, life is good again. For when you enter it is like steppng into a magical kingdom reminiscent to something out of a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. For the sweeping views at every angle just leave you spellbound. For it is that beautiful. Except when the rain and fog appear it all disappears like a magic trick , only to reappear once it all lifts.
The game itself was most enjoyable and played in half sunshine and half rain showers. In fact it was raining goals as the bumper crowd enjoyed a six goal feast. Vistors
Penmaenmawr Pheonix also played their part and even had the audacity to take a half time lead. But the Reds came back strongly in the second half and scored the winning goals in the last seven minutes to record their first victory of the new season.
As you walked passed the changing rooms despite the rain bouncing of the windows you could hear happy celebrations from the home players . It was reminiscent of the famous incantations of a Welsh Male Voice Choir as if they just won the World Cup and 6 Nations ! It was fantastic.
The happiest team in the world ?
It was sadly time to say farewell to Cae Clyd and once again take time to absorb the stunning surrounding views for another time before my onward journey.
Can it get any better than this ? In a word ... No !

An excellent afternoon spent high up on Emley Moor in the shadows of the transmitting station. FA Cup fever had again started with the locals.
The original Emley AFC's history stretches back as far as 1903. They were somewhat successful in Yorkshire non-league football over the years, winning several championships but were perhaps most famous for their FA Cup run in the later part of the 1990s which saw them playing against West Ham United. That famous day back in Jan '98 the whole of the village had made its way to East London and the unthinkable nearly happened. Watch it
Todays match was played in sunshine , light rain showers, and strong winds of which both teams found hard to adapt to in the first half. Shooting down the slope and with the wind behind them in the second half Emley scored two quick goals. But fair play to Ashton Athletic they fought back and made the last ten minutes tense, especially for those in claret and blue.
An excellent tea hut was in operation today serving a bumper crowd with delicous home made meat and potato pie , mushy peas and gravy. The famous Emley Mixed Grill Raffle was also in operation but sadly a smaller platter than when i visited four years ago. An excellent colour programme with few adverts and with lots of information sold out early. Probably one of the best programmes i have seen at a non league club for a very long time. The modern bar displaying memorabillia from their famous day out in East London in '98 hangs proudly for all to see, was a hive of activity. A plethora of hoppers were also in attendence which always boosts the attendence.
Cup matches played on a Sunday at Emley have a special atmosphere - simply superb !

Speaking of Islamic extremists: Last week I attended the free screening of "Northeastern Unbecoming" at Marblehead's Temple Sinai. This documentary exposes anti-semitism, anti-Israelism and radical Islamic activities at Northeastern University. The documentary was produced by Americans for Peace and Tolerance on Campus in response to complaints by faculty and students. I was shocked. During my college experience, anti-semitism was politically incorrect, though that phrase hadn't been invented yet; we Penn State freshmen were shown a film on the Holocaust and told, "never again." According to APT, what is happening at Northeastern is happening on other campuses across the country as part of a new politically correct support for radical Islam.
From the ridiculous, zombie welfare, to the horrible: betrayed Navy seals and campus anti-semitism. What is happening here?
I was grateful for the heat wave, driving me to my hammock to finish Brunonia Barry's "The Map of True Places" with its Salem-Marblehead setting; wonderful read. But I needed total escape, so on Sunday I started Janet Evanovich's "Sizzling Sixteen."
I discovered her Stephanie Plum series when my elderly mother moved into a nursing home and I went to my hometown bookstore to find a book on dealing with life's difficult events. The clerk told me to read Evanovich instead. Lesson learned, and my mother and I continued to laugh together, despite the news of the world, for as long as she lived.
Barbara Anderson of Marblehead is a Salem News columnist.

Travel advice: Tips on cruising with kids
Looking for that perfect family cruise? Try these suggestions for a great holiday with children.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Families are taking to the high seas in record numbers, thanks to the grand efforts made by the major cruise companies to lure them on board. Should you consider selecting a seafaring holiday, here are five tips to consider:
1. Booking your cruise. With so many ships and itineraries vying for your attention, choosing the right sailing for your family can be daunting. A travel agent who specializes in cruising can help make sense of the options and assist in choosing an itinerary that best matches your family's interests and budget. You'll find that booking early can mean early-bird discounts, a wider choice of cabins and potentially onboard ship credits. Last-minute bookings, approximately 60 days before sailing, can also mean savings. Deep discounts become available when cruise companies end up with excess inventory.
2. Choosing your cabin. Whether traveling with your family or the extended clan, taking the time to sort through cabin configurations is worth the effort. Options typically include family cabins for four with bunks or pull out sofas, adjoining rooms or mini suites. If traveling with older kids, you can save by reserving one room with a balcony and a second interior cabin across the hall. Larger suites come with express boarding options, multiple bathrooms, butler service and other onboard perks. The Norwegian Breakaway recently launched with family cabins that sleep five.
3. About shore excursions. The cost of shore excursions can add up when traveling with a large family. Review the options carefully and note whether the tour or activity takes place close to your port. If you'll be docking near your desired destination, consider exploring on your own or spending a relaxing day on the beach. Booking a private tour will give your family more flexibility and enable you to spend time doing what most interests your crew. Meanwhile, note that the most popular shore excursions may book quickly. So if a particular outing is central to your interest, reserve early. Staying aboard the ship can also be fun, providing everyone the option to relax or enjoy the shipboard amenities with less of a crowd.
4. Onboard fun. Elaborate kids clubs, climbing walls, wave pools, zip lines, outdoor theaters, karaoke, skating rinks and water parks are just some of the enticements for kids. Teens have their own hangouts that include dance clubs, computer and video arcade centres and coffeehouse-style meeting spots. Royal Caribbean offers the DreamWorks Experience through which children can meet characters such as Kung Fu Panda and Shrek. Parents can relax in the adult pools or at the spa while kids are immersed in their fun-filled days. Babysitting is also available on most ships.
5. Onboard dining. Depending on your cabin class, continental or full breakfast room service is available, providing an important option when kids are on different sleeping schedules. The ship's culinary teams are more sensitive than ever to your desire for healthy dining choices. Thus a wide array of themed restaurant experiences and buffet options provide variety and menu items to appeal to every age group and palate. Be sure to let the cruise line know about any allergies so it can provide necessary customization during kids' activities.

In my spare time, I love to read, I love to cook and I love to eat. My mind is constantly going over ideas for flavor combinations, which book I will read next and which aspect of the food industry it will cover, what am I going to eat for my next meal, which local eatery I will go to for my Chomp! piece, what will I place in my small plastic basket when I go to H-E-B next, etc.
Along those lines, I've just completed reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer and also watched the documentary Food Inc. by filmmaker Robert Kenner. As I was sat through the film, which I watched just before finishing Eating Animals, I was amazed at the overlap in concepts between the film and the book and also from other books that I have read, including Upton Sinclar's The Jungle and Michael Pollan's Ominivore's Dilemma. While all published at different times, The Jungle published more than a century ago and others more recently, each cover aspects of the food industry that go a little more knee-deep, in-depth than some would like to know about, such as issues pertaining to food safety and sanitation, consumer health and animal welfare.
To avoid turning this post into a lecture, I encourage anyone interested in where their food comes from to read the books, or watch the documentary. They are insightful, to say the least, about what you are putting in your mouth and the mouths of your children, family and or friends. It is because these informative literary and documentary devices that I am now in search of a local CSA, or community supported agriculture program.
Texas, being so large in the agriculture industry, must have a large number of CSAs. I know that living in a smaller city may lend itself to a limited resource of locally-grown and raised, but at the same time, living in the Crossroads, we should also have the accessibility to them.
I know that I've been here just a year or so, but I still think of myself as new to the area. The farmer's market is a great place to start, but what about a year-round resource? Are there any local farmers worth paying a visit to? What about farm-fresh eggs?
In Albuquerque, there are about four or five CSAs and some even had programs where you could help on the farm a few hours a month to pay for membership fees. Are there any local farms that do that in the Crossroads? I am in search for them. Let me know where to find them.

DUNDEE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a 54-year-old cleaning woman has died after her car plunged down a 200-foot-deep Finger Lakes ravine near a home where she had just worked.
The Yates County Sheriff's Office says Rose Vanaman of Dundee had started her manual transmission car Thursday afternoon in the driveway of a home on a steep bluff overlooking Seneca Lake's eastern shore in Starkey.
Police say another person approached Vanaman to speak with her, and when she started to get out of the car, her foot slipped off the clutch, causing the vehicle to bolt forward. The car broke through a log barrier, went across a lawn and down the ravine.
Firefighters carried her out of the ravine. She was taken by helicopter to a Rochester hospital, where she died from her injuries.

The World > North America > Mexico
El monumento a La Corregidora fue inagurado en el centenario de la Independencia de México, tiene una escultura de Doña Josefa Ortiz y una cerradura que representa la chapa por donde ella pasó el mensaje que adelantó el inicio de la lucha de independencia.
North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Anti-hoodie movement ignores real issues
Trayvon Martin's (above) death on Feb. 26 has triggered a variety of movements. However, protests are more focused on Martin's hoodie than the Florida law that let his killer walk.
The night of Feb. 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin was watching an NBA game at the home of his father's fiancé in the gated community Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, Fla. During halftime, Martin left to walk to a convenient store for Skittles and iced tea.
As the black 17-year-old walked through the upper-middle class community, he was spotted by George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old half-white, half-Hispanic Neighborhood Watch captain. Zimmerman was licensed to carry a firearm, and neighbors told the Miami Herald Zimmerman would go door-to-door telling neighbors to be on the lookout for outsiders, specifically young black men.
When Zimmerman saw Martin walking to the convenience store, he made the incorrect assumption that Martin was a criminal and began following the teen. Zimmerman also called Sanford police, saying, "This guy (Martin) looks like he is up to no good." The dispatcher advised Zimmerman to not take action and wait for police.
As Zimmerman spoke to police, Martin was on his cell phone speaking to his girlfriend. When Martin told his girlfriend that a man was following him, she told him to run.
Zimmerman then chased after Martin, and when he told police he was following Martin, a dispatcher advised him not to. "We don't need you to do that," the dispatcher said. Zimmerman didn't listen.
Martin's girlfriend said she heard Martin say, "What are you following me for?" Then she heard a man's voice say, "What are you doing here?"
What happened next is a mystery. Some witnesses say Martin attacked Zimmerman first, while others say Martin cried out for help before he was shot.
With so many conflicting parties and interests, it's hard to distinguish what's true from what isn't. However, there are two things we can be certain of: Zimmerman had no visible injuries following the incident and Martin did not present a weapon, and thus he did not threaten Zimmerman's life. Even so, Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest, killing him.
This tragedy spurred a national movement against the most unlikely of parties in the incident: the hoodie Martin was wearing. There are two problems with this movement.
First, the anti-hoodie movement - like the hoodie itself - sends mixed signals. Some involved in the protest say we need to do away with hoodies because of the garment's negative association with urban crime. But when you consider how popular the hoodie has become, this just seems ridiculous. Nowadays hoodies are worn by children, suburban parents, grandparents, politicians, off-duty policemen and, occasionally, urban drug dealers. Hoodies are so commonly worn that it's a bit mind-boggling that Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., was thrown off the House floor for wearing one.
So clearly, it's all about what's underneath the hoodie.
"It's all about the demonization of the black male and the creation of this stereotypical image of him walking down the street in a hoodie," hip-hop scholar Hailifu Osumare told CNN. "It happens all the time, and it's what's behind the protests. People don't see it as an isolated incident; they see it as a historic trend."
After this tragedy, white America needs to take a long look in the mirror, and we need to ask ourselves, "Why are we so scared? What is so frightening about a black man wearing a hoodie in an urban setting?"
Sure, in some neighborhoods you will find black men in hoodies who are criminals, but you'll also find many who are honest, law-abiding citizens. We can't judge an entire race and type of sweatshirt based on the actions of a few. Doing so is racist, discriminatory, and it may be the very mistake Zimmerman made the night he killed an unarmed boy.
In short, the hoodie's association with crime is not the sweatshirt's fault - it's our fault. The second problem with the anti-hoodie movement is it's distracting us from the real issues that caused Martin's death and allowed Zimmerman to walk.
Zimmerman wasn't charged with Martin's murder because of Florida's recently-enacted Stand-Your-Ground law, which essentially allows anyone to shoot first and ask questions later. Florida law states, "A person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if ... he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another, or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony."
As this case proved, it's easy for one to react violently under a "reasonable belief" he or she is in danger, when in fact, there is no substantial threat. It's easy for one to willfully commit a violent act, and then hide behind the Stand-Your-Ground law.
Either way, Florida needs to repeal the Stand-Your-Ground law, and bring charges against Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's actions were, at best, a case of a trigger-happy vigilante acting violently before thinking. At worst, his actions were an unpunished, racially-motivated killing.
Regardless of what happened, there are three things we should all take from this tragedy: Martin was killed because of a negative racial stereotype that black men wear hoodies are criminals. A questionable, unsafe law has let a dangerous white man walk after he killed an unarmed black teenager. And this all happened some 50 years after the Civil Rights Era, in the United States of America.

Mark Sloan is Harris County's chief of the Office of Emergency Management. He says when a gulf storm is possible the county starts reviewing its hurricane checklist and talking with other county agencies to make sure everyone is on the same page. Especially this coming weekend.
"With the holiday, we want our departments and our partners to make sure their personnel are on call or available as we may be dealing with this as early as Monday."
OEM also checks with Harris County communities to find out what they may need as they prepare for a possible hit.
Sloan says Harris County has also been talking to state officials about Gustav.
"We've been in conference calls the last few days and we will be talking regularly with our regional liaison officer.ξ I probably talk to her three to four times a day."
As each day passes more information about Gustav is fed into computers and the storm's track can be narrowed down. But even a few hours from landfall Gustav's direction could change, so that all along the gulf coast officials are preparing for a possible landfall.
