Henderson Should Be The Choice For Comeback Player Of The YearPosted by on December 24, 2010 – 9:13 am
The 2010 season is not what we expected it to be, with the Vikings sitting at 5-9 with 2 games to play after a sensational march to the NFC Championship Game just a year ago. But through all the disappointment and negativity this season, there have been a few rays of hope and inspiration.
The best example is LB E.J. Henderson, who is having another fine season after coming back from a severe leg injury suffered in Week 13 of the 2009 campaign. Henderson is 2nd on the team in tackles with 129 and he is tied with San Francisco's Takeo Spikes for most INTs by a LB with 3. This is all after that leg injury in Arizona ended his 2009 season and had many thinking it would end his career.
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks has an article on SI.com right now regarding this very subject – Henderson's comeback season after breaking his femur last December. Banks is one of the 50 voters for the NFL's postseason awards, and one of the awards is NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He does a nice job of breaking down the award – from its origin, to its definition, to the different ways of applying it.
"The question to wrestle with, as always," Banks writes, "is what exactly constitutes a comeback? Does the award extend to cover a return from injury, or ineffectiveness, or irrelevancy, or as in Vick's specific case, even incarceration? And was Vick already 'back" last season in the most literal sense, and thus isn't really staging a comeback in 2010, unless you consider him now fully back in comparison to the relative insignificance of his role last year in Philadelphia?"
Banks references Philadelphia QB Michael Vick, who is having an MVP-caliber season just a year or so removed from serving time stemming from a guilty plea to felony charges. The key here, though, is that Vick's "comeback year" was 2009, when he came off of home confinement to join the Eagles. He played a small role in the offense in '09 and this year of course has taken the league by storm and is one of the NFL's top players.
As Banks says in his piece, a comeback is in the eye of the beholder. As such, Vick will likely receive votes not only for MVP but also for comeback player of the year. And he's certainly earned those votes.
But given the severity of Henderson's injury, the aggressive manner with which he rehabbed, the fact that no other NFL player has suffered and come back from this injury in the past, and the fact that Henderson is having one of his finer seasons in 8 years as a pro, I think Henderson is the choice for 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
I'm hoping Banks and the 49 other voters feel the same way.
A few other candidates for this year's comeback player of the year award: RBs LaDainian Tomlinson and Leon Washington, LB Brian Urlacher and WRs Wes Welker and Mike Williams

Good job LB, E.J. Henderson, nice to know there someone on the defense who wants to do their job. Thanks for the outstanding effort and devotion to you profession, and us fans.

One also needs to note that Vick has come back from a self-induced situation. He chose to break the law. I am not sure we should celebrate quite yet his return– yes, it's great if he has left the past behind and changed his thinking and ways. But a man's heart is difficult to see, and I would venture the jury is still out on Vick. Give it a couple more years– if he has truly changed, we should know by then– if not, he will show signs– it is inevitable.
Henderson, on the other hand, came back from a career-ending injury — a situation that he did not enter because of his choice or lack of character. Rather, it is exactly Henderson's character of fight and resiliency coupled with perseverance that fueled his comeback. The vote should be obvious, if the choice is Vick or Henderson.

I agree EJ is the comeback player of the year because he got hurt last year and came back this year …. #1-this is Vicks second year back (so unless EJ could win the award in any year say 2084 then Vick has to be out of the running) and #2 – what purplediety said

I have no idea as to whether Vick has truly changed– I have my doubts, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt– we all goof up. Unfortunately, most people in his situation would be scarred for life by the pe-nal system and would have few, if any opportunities to even get back on their feet, let alone be a superstar making millions. The system is backwards. A felon gets out of jail and cannot rent an apartment, thus cannot have an address, and cannot get a decent job– etc, and do you think that felon has any chance of changing? We do have to be willing to give a second chance. Vick got a big one– I hope he has learned from it, and I hope he does good with his life and money– not just score points on the field. Okay, my two cents to prove PurpleDiety and Titus originate from the same brain.

I hear you Shawn— like I said under another post– they take the path of least resistance and there is no common sense applied. But to be fair to the cop– he had no idea to know whether you would drive — after all, you were in your car and had drank too much. For all the cop knew, you had already driven in that condition or you might wake up and drive. I try to see both sides. How did he know you were being honest?
They are just cogs in the system.

@phil … luckily the vikings have a psychic on the staff and they have decided to draft Timmy Thompson … from a High School in Montana as a freshman he already zips the ball 45 yards … and showed such intelligence he skipped the 7th grade. They heve also been talking to Joe Montana, it seems that those shape ups might be the fountain of youth. Montana will start until Timmy is ready to take over ….
Sounds like we should be good at QB for the next 30 years …

Phil, I am sure you are not still on…but I believe that we will pick up a free agent. Maybe McNabb or Kolb. We will have a high draft pick, but we need a veteran to mentor a rook.

Phil: No one know for sure WTF the Vikings will do, but remain calm. They need to stabilize the O-line first. They'll find someone. We as fans need to be patient. A lot of changes may go on at Winter Park this off season. I would be more concerned if there were few changes. Keep the faith, a child was born in a manger, and he's a really good quarterback!

Sue: I know there are some who feel Favre is only playing because of his ego. I disagree, and even if he is, he's the only guy on the roster who understands enough of the playbook to make our offense look at all professional, even in his diminished physical state. Above all, we all agree that concussions are serious, and that he does not suffer long term effects from his evening at TCF Bank Field. I wonder what Brett will give McKinnie for x- mas?

Out of respect to E.J. Henderson my Aunt had a similar injury from an accident over the summer. She is still rehabbing, and is just grateful to be able to now walk. Granted, she's in her 70's, but it was a very painful and difficult injury for E.J. and my Aunt to recover from. It is an amazing testament to E.J.'s perseverence.

Brett clearly cares about his teammates, so to take his ego to the next level, and imply he does everything for his own career stats (egotistical) is probably hype from the media– has he ever let his fame get to him? I am sure– it would and does happen to most everyone. Anyway, this may be his last season. Too bad it went sour, but we may pull off a miracle Sunday.

I normally disagree with most of you, but we do agree on one thing this weekend. Let's pray that Farve plays and finishes the game. Obviously we'll still lose, because Farve has a 60 QB rating against teams with a winning record, but more importantly this forces Frazier to take responsibility and not for him to try and place the blame on T-Jack or Joe.
Amazing how much worse Frazier is compared to Chilly. Not only is he inferior in tactics, but he can't even motivate the players. If anyone saw the Cowboys and Cardinals tonight, you realize just how much a "good" coach can motivate players even though their teams are out of the playoffs.

FORT WAYNE – Now that the Mad Ants' first-ever playoff win is out of the way, they can concentrate on their first ever series win.
Having won the opening game of their best-of-three first-round D-League series 97-96 at Reno, Nev., on Friday, the Mad Ants play host to the Bighorns 7 p.m. today at Memorial Coliseum.
Game 3, if it's necessary, would be Tuesday at the Coliseum.
We needed this one, Reno guard Walker Russell Jr. said, after the Bighorns squandered a 13-point lead in Game 1. It's going to be tough to go there and get two.
Russell would know, after spending the past six seasons with the veteran-laden Mad Ants, who got swept by Santa Cruz last year in their only previous playoff series.
This season, the Mad Ants won the regular-season title, and the Bighorns came in as the eighth seed.
(Game 1) has got to be a learning lesson for us. We have to have short memories, Walker said. We're not afraid to go there and play those guys. We showed we can play with them.
The Mad Ants were led by Matt Bouldin's 20 points on a night of spotty shooting; they were 43 percent from the field, while the Bighorns were 46.6 percent.
Fort Wayne's Ron Howard had 19 points. Tony Mitchell, who did the bulk of the heavy lifting early, was 7 of 24 from the field and finished with 17 points.
They're really talented, really capable, Bouldin said of the Bighorns. They can beat anybody in this league. So we've just got to take it to them.
The Mad Ants were 34-16 in the regular season, including 19-6 at the Coliseum, and they have won 13 straight at home. The Bighorns, who were 27-23 in the regular season, were 12-13 on the road and lost four of their last six.
The only regular-season meeting between the teams was at the Coliseum on Dec. 26 and Fort Wayne won 114-89.
It's going to be a hostile crowd, said Mo Charlo, who led Reno with 22 points in Game 1. We have to be ready to go down there and take their first punch and just be consistent down there. We have no choice, our backs (are) against the wall.
The Bighorns played Game 1 without their starting point guard, Sundiata Gaines, who has missed five of the last six with an undisclosed injury. He could return tonight.

February 14, 2007
The Pew Charitable Trusts conducted a private study and predict that in the next five years the prison population will increase gaining nearly two hundred thousand prisoners in the next five years.
The study predicts that the growth will be faster than the overall population growth in the U.S., costing states more than 27 billion dollars.
According to the study Florida is expected to add the most prisoners followed by California, Texas, Arizona, and Ohio.
Virginia is expected to add more than four thousand inmates, increasing the 37 thousand inmates the state already has to more than 41 thousand.
A Pew official says they hope states will use the information from the study to help them prepare for the future.

hey... just recently ive been getting sex for the first time. Im finding it really hard to orgasm. Im not sure if its because im nervous or what. I dont feel nervous, im really comfortable with the girl. I use lubed condoms and she gets really wet so it just doesnt feel that tight could be one of the problems.. Im also uncut and can't pull my foreskin back so I guess the tip of my penis isnt that sensitive, especially when it has to go through a bunch of skin and heavily lubed condom. When I jerk off im used to rubbing the tip of it agaisnt my palm, and ive been accustumed to this feeling for maaaaaaaany many years and I guess I cant cum without it, and I cant really recreate it inside a girl... Im really at a loss at what to do... this is getting pretty embarrassing.. I even faked it last night because she couldnt get me off after an hour

[1] The mortality of these individuals was higher in current smokers (hazard ratio (HR)=2 x 4; p<0 x 001) and there were more serious illnesses (major cardiovascular disease (HR=2 x 0; p=0 x 002), non-AIDS cancer (HR=1 x 8; P=0 x 008), and bacterial pneumonia (HR=2 x 3; p<0 x 001)), in smokers. [1]
In addition to the risks of cigarette smoking it seems that the prevalence of smoking is higher in HIV-infected individuals. This has been clearly shown for African HIV-infected individuals. [3,4]
Increased morbidity in smoking HIV-infected adults may take many forms. Importantly smoking increases the risk for secondary infection, including tuberculosis, [5] cardiovascular disease [1,6] and malignancy. [1,7]
Studies in adults have revealed that smokers on highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) had poorer viral responses (HR=0 x 79; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0 x 67-0 x 93) and poorer immunologic responses (HR=0 x 85; 95%CI=0 x 73-0 x 99). [8] A greater risk of virological rebound (HR=1 x 39; 95%CI=1 x 06-1 x 69) and more frequent immunologic failure (HR=152; 95%CI=1 x 18-1 x 96) were also observed among smokers. There was a higher risk of death (HR=1 x 53; 95%CI=1 x 08-2 x 19) and a higher risk of developing AIDS (HR=1 x 36; 95%CI=1 x 07-1 x 72), but no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers in the risk of death due to AIDS. These authors concluded that 'some of the benefits provided by HAART are negated in cigarette smokers'. [8]
These findings may relate to research demonstrating that chronic exposure of mice and rats to cigarette smoke or nicotine inhibits T-cell responsiveness, which may account for the decreased antibody response to T-cell dependent antigens seen in these animals. [9]
Other studies have confirmed an increased risk of smoking adults to infections. Current smokers were more likely than never smokers to develop bacterial pneumonia (HR=1 x 57; 95%CI=1 x 14-2 x 15; p=0 x 006), oral candidiasis candidiasis (kăn'dĭdī`əsĭs), infection of the mucous membranes caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Other terms for candidiasis are yeast infection, moniliasis (after a former name of the fungal genus), and thrush, the (HR=1 x 37; 95%CI=1 x 16-1 x 62; p=0 x 0002). [10] The AIDS dementia complex AIDS dementia complex
The neurological disease complex that is sometimes experienced by AIDS patients, caused by neuron injury and death and characterized by cognitive impairment. is also more likely in smoking HIV-infected adults (HR=1 x 80; 95%CI=1 x 11-2 x 90; p=0 x 02). [10]
These increased risks have led authors to call for incorporating advice on smoking cessation into HIV education programs and consultations. [11]
The natural progression of HIV in children differs from that of adults. Immaturity of the immune system leads to more rapid progression of HIV-related infection. [12] There are various factors that contribute to the rate of HIV progression in children. These include maternal viral load, genetic composition, immunological profile of the child and possibly some environmental factors. [13]
Despite a vast literature on the health effects of cigarette smoking on HIV-infected adults, there is no study demonstrating an effect of passive cigarette smoke exposure on the health of HIV-infected children.
The main objective of this research was to determine if passive environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a risk factor for HIV progression and disease severity in children.
An observational, descriptive study of children attending the HIV Clinic at Tshwane District Hospital Previously known as Pretoria Academic Hospital, it is now a community hospital that deals in non-critical care. , Pretoria, South Africa during October 2007. A convenience sample of parents attending the clinic for routine follow-up of their children's disease was selected. Each attendee completed a questionnaire relating to their smoking habits and the HIV status of their children. Ethics approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Pretoria and all subjects signed informed consent and assent where appropriate.

The city is located within the most populated region of Texas, near to three of the 10 largest cities in the United States - Houston, Dallas, and San 77845 USA) was used for computations. The two-sample t test with equal variances was performed for analysis of continuous variables while the Fischer exact test or Pearson Chi-square test was performed for analysis of categorical variables.
Information was obtained from 127 accompanied HIV-infected children. Of these, 47 (37%) were living in households where adults smoke. There was not a significant difference in the mean age (at the time of the study) between ETS exposed and non-exposed children (4 x 6 months vs 4 x 9 months (p=0 x 66)). There was also not a significant difference for age of HIV diagnosis between ETS exposed and non-exposed children (p=0 x 50). 118 (93%) of the children were on HAART. At the time of the study the protocol for HAART was Stavudine, Lamivudine and Kaletra as first line therapy.
ETS exposed children had a 11% lower CD4 percentage than children who had no passive smoke exposure. This was not statistically significant (p=0 x 59) (Fig. 1).
There was not a significant relationship between cigarette smoke exposure and HIV-stage (p=0 x 70) (Table 1).
There was not a significant relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked daily by the caregivers and the CD4 count (p=0 x 9661), nor the HIV stage (p=0 x 4949), of the of the ETS exposed children.
Thirty two of the 127 children were hospitalized in the last month. This group included all of the children not on HAART and only 13 of the 32 children that were hospitalized in the last month had care-givers who smoked. The ETS and non-ETS groups did not differ with respect to hospitalization (OR=1 x 17; 95%CI=0 x 47-2 x 86; p=0 x 70) (Table 2).
The proportion of smokers amongst parents with secondary education does not differ significantly from those without secondary education (p=0 x 595; 38 x 2% vs 29 x 4%).
This is the first study reported of the effects of passive ETS exposure on the health of HIV-infected children.
The study reveals that rates of cigarette smoking are higher in parents of HIV-infected children than the South African national average. [15] This may support data available from other studies in Africa demonstrating that smoking was more common in HIV-infected adults. [3,4]
This study of 127 HIV-infected children attending an HIV treatment clinic did not reveal statistically significant differences in objective measures of HIV status (CD4 count and HIV stage) between children exposed to ETS and those not exposed. This is in contradistinction con·tra·dis·tinc·tion
Distinction by contrasting or opposing qualities.
contra·dis·tinc to most adult studies.
In addition there is no apparent effect of ETS exposure on clinical disease severity as indicated by need for hospitalization. ETS exposure has been linked to greater risk of asthma exacerbations in asthmatic children [16] and it seems unlikely that this is not true of disease exacerbations in HIV-infected children. Either the study sample was too small to draw meaningful conclusions or the diseases associated with HIV-infection are of such a nature to render the additional effects of ETS insignificant.
Since most children were on HAART the effect of this form of therapy in relation to ETS exposure could not be assessed. Only a much larger study group would enable teasing out of the effect of cigarette smoke exposure on HIV-infected children prior to commencement of HAART or the possible effect of ETS exposure on efficacy of HAART.
The small sample size may limit comparison in this study. In addition the range of age in these children would mask some of the consequences of increasing age on HIV progression in individual patients. A large age-stratified study would be useful.

Baptist Men's Day
Baptist Men's Day 2014
The fourth Sunday in January is the designated day in North Carolina each year for Baptist Men's Day. Churches use this day to remind their entire congregation of the importance of Baptist Men's ministry within the church, community, and the world. The 80th observance of Baptist Men's Day this year falls on
January 26.
But if January 26 is not a convenient date for Baptist Men's Day in your church, please feel free to plan it for any another Sunday.

Initial Preparation and Planning
1. Form a planning team. This team should reflect the size of your church and Baptist Men's group. Those who comprise the team might include the church Baptist Men's director, the Men's Ministries director, the pastor or assigned staff member, and two or three other men.
2. Your planning team should begin meeting at least two months before Baptist Men's Day. Look toward accomplishment of the following:
- Coordinate the date with the church calendar.
- Determine what you hope to accomplish by observing Baptist Men's Day.
- Plan activities to accomplish these goals.
- Determine those needed to carry out these goals.
- Make assignments.
- Secure needed materials.
- Keep a check on the progress.

(Click here for a sample Baptist Men's Award Certificate)
· Select men to share testimonies of missions and ministry involvement in each adult Sunday School class.
· Select men to share testimonies of missions and ministry involvement during the service.
One Month Before
· Place announcements of Baptist Men's Day activities in the church bulletin and newsletter.
· Have a display of Men's Ministries materials and photographs of your activities over the past year read for display in the church foyer.
· Enlist men to make announcements about Baptist Men's Day activities in all adult Sunday School classes for each of the next four Sundays.
· Begin practice for men's choir.
· Begin creation of a short PowerPoint or other creative presentation of the past year's Baptist Men's activities to be shown during the worship service.
· Confirm with those responsible for all activities you have decided upon.
· Check progress of all plans and correct anything not progressing as scheduled.
Saturday Activities
Plan a special event for the Saturday before Baptist Men's Day. Some suggestions are listed below. There may be other activities appropriate to your church and community.
- Conduct a
"Handyman Ministry Day"
dedicated to helping those who may not be physically able to do simple household chores. This can be for church members, or as an outreach to the community.
Here is a sample form you can use to solicit requests for assistance.
- Conduct an
Outdoor Ministry Event
and/or wild game supper, incorporated with a men's worship rally on Saturday night.
Visit our Outdoor Ministry webpage.
- Plan a
Men's Golf tournament
or other outing that unchurched men could be invited to. The proceeds can go to a designated missions cause.
- Plan
a showing of the
"Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood"
(session 1) for the night before Baptist Men's Day. Plan a meal and be sure to invite unchurched men. Be ready to incorporate worshipful singing, small group discussion, and a prayer time. Use this as a kick-off to doing the rest of the ten session series with your men.
Prayer Breakfast
A prayer breakfast is an excellent way to start your Baptist Men's Day. It allows men to gather for fellowship and prayer before the activities of the day.
A prayer breakfast can serve three purposes: a) it calls men together to pray for what God is doing in their lives and the life of the church; b) it is a good way to encourage ongoing Prayer Teams; c) it can be used as a challenge to begin Prayer Teams if they do not already exist in your church. Praying men do make a difference.
Click here for some ideas on leading men in prayer.
If your church does not currently have a Baptist Men's Ministry, perhaps this would be a good time to discuss beginning one. Call the Baptist Men's office for starter information.
Click here to access a Men's Ministry PowerPoint presentation that explains how to have a well-balanced Men's Ministry
Some churches ask the church hostess to prepare the breakfast. In others, men prepare the food themselves or meet in a local restaurant.

Scripture and Theme Interpretation
Theme: For The Glory of His Name
Scripture: Romans 11:36
How often are we guilty of feeling as though we are doing God a favor by—showing up for church, putting our offering in the plate, or volunteering our time for ministry or a mission project? At this time in our society, when it seems like those who attend church are in the minority, it may be tempting for us pat ourselves on the back for doing what God requires of us. But Romans 11:36 reminds us that FROM Him and THROUGH Him, and TO Him, are all things. That certainly reduces the opportunity for us to take any of the credit, doesn't't it?
In the verses that follow (Romans 12:1-2), Paul offers a suggestion that not only is the right thing to do—and pleasing to God—it is also the thing that will bring us peace in our own lives while bringing glory to His name. He tells us to "offer our bodies as living sacrifices" to God. A sacrifice is something that is "given up". When we sacrifice we no longer maintain ownership or control. This may be easily done with something that we see as "disposable" - like the money you drop into the offering plate or the one or two Saturdays a year you give to do a mission project - but not so easy with something that we hold so dearly—like our own lives! Many might back away from such a radical commitment.
The way Paul recommends this is done may offer a bit of hope, but it is not any easier. Paul was an educated and well-traveled man. He had seen much of the "known world" at that time. In other words, he knew how the world worked. Most of us have been around long enough to know how the world works. Even as Christian men, we know how to "work the systems" to our advantage. But does that bring glory to God? Oftentimes not. Paul reminds us to "not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Perhaps this begins with our daily understanding that our life on this earth is very temporary and precious. We can use what time we have to gain glory for ourselves, or to bring glory to His name. Those who seek glory for themselves will have their reward here. Those who seek to bring glory to God's name will gain something much greater.
Paul reminds us of the rewards that come from such a sacrifice and daily renewal of our minds. "Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will." Wouldn't't we all like to know what God's will is for our lives! Think of how liberating and freeing that would be! When we are free to be the men God created us to be, we are better able to bring Glory to His Name!
Discussion. Ask men to gather in small groups of three to discuss the following questions:
1. Why do you think we sometimes fall into the trap of feeling like we are doing God a favor?
2. What can we practically do each day to "renew our minds" so that we do not fall into conformity to the world's patterns?
3. In what ways might we as men give our lives as a sacrifice to God? How can we make sure doing these things bring Glory to God's name and not to our own?
Prayer time in small groups.
Divide men into groups of three. Ask each man to share two things: 1) a prayer request on behalf of someone else, and 2) a specific prayer request for himself. Once these are shared the group should go immediately into prayer. The leader should then close the session with prayer at around the nine-minute mark.
Baptist Men's Day Worship Service
Baptist Men's Day is an opportunity to build the worship services around the laymen of the church. Make this a special day for them. By doing so, the family is strengthened. One of the greatest needs of our society is for strong Christian male role models. By recognizing the contributions of the men of the church, those role models are made visible.
Work with your pastor to plan the service. Recognize one or two outstanding members of the Baptist Men. Present them with a certificate of appreciation.
(Click here for an additional certificate.)
Beyond the tradition of men handing out bulletins, taking up the offering, and singing in a men's choir, you may also want to enlist men to read Scripture, give a short testimony, or share a meaningful song.
One option would be to build the service around men sharing personal testimonies of their salvation experience and missions involvement. Give at least three men five minutes each to share about their conversion and personal ministries. Include participants of local, national and/or international mission projects, as well as individuals who have become active in men's small groups and other spiritual development activities for men.
You might also consider allowing a time to let the men report on their activities from their Mission Action Team, small group, or prayer team during the past year. Ask the pastor to sum up these activities and to bring a challenge for the future.

While we eagerly awaited the start of the Burberry Autumn Winter 2014 show, our web editor Jessica Vince was at the Serpentine this afternoon to catch the celebrity arrivals. Burberry is always a big draw for stars and the list of attendees usually reads more like the Oscars than a catwalk presentation with previous guests including Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker and actress-turned-Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow.
The brand also counts the cream of the crop of British style icons as fans, from Alexa Chung and Poppy Delevingne to Burberry campaign girls Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Emma Watson.
This season there were several big moments that we've captured in our Instagram gallery above:
1. Harry Styles returned - perhaps to support his ex (and good friend) Cara Delevingne

Governor Snyder

Thu January 6, 2011
Snyder to give State of the State address on Jan. 19th
Governor Rick Snyder will give his first State of the State address on Wednesday, January 19th at 7 p.m. He'll give the speech in front of a joint session of the state legislature in the House chamber of the Capitol building in Lansing . The Detroit Free Press reports:
Snyder is expected to lay out specific goals of his promise to "reinvent Michigan" with an economic and political culture that promotes entrepreneurial spirit with lower taxes and less regulation. Those are themes he struck Saturday in his inauguration speech, in which he called for an end to partisan bickering.
And, if you're an astrology-watcher, it might be interesting to note that there will be a full moon that evening.
Michigan Radio will air live coverage of the address.

Trouble with the gloves, bats and bullpen means the 8-10 Phillies aren't much better than they were last April (7-11). We run down the main offenders and round up the rest of the top stories.
Yesterday, it was the attack of the killer 0-fers: Ryan Howard: 0-for-5, 4 LOB, 3Ks; Jayson Werth 0-for-5, 5 LOB, 3Ks (Werth has cooled off); Pat Burrell: 0-for-4, 3Ks. As a team, they stranded 11.
Offensively, you can point the finger at two primary areas: First and third. Catcher and shortstop earn dishonorable mention. Since Scott Rolen, it's like the Phillies are cursed at third and have to settle for bottom-rung production every season. With Pedro Feliz starting basically every game, the hot corner has produced little (.603 OPS.) The National League average at third is .774. Feliz's last hit was Tuesday's game-winner against Houston. How much longer can he ride out that moment? Actually, he's the team's worst offender with runners in scoring position, hitting just .067. Compared to National League clean-up hitters, Howard is last in average (.182) and fourth from the bottom in slugging (.394). His 26 strikeouts are six more than Adam Dunn and the most in baseball. Over the last seven days, he has three hits.
Thanks to Chris Coste, the catching stats are respectable compared to the rest of the league. Ruiz alone, just as Eric Bruntlett alone, comes up far below average. But with guys like Russell Martin producing little out in LA, few catchers have produced, and Bruntlett could be back on the bench shorty.
Then there's the bullpen. For the second game in a row, middle relief couldn't hold it; this time it was Ryan Madson. Between Howard, Feliz, Madson and the defense, it's enough to drive one nuts. Or in my case, not write another depressing word about it, and end it at that.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CBS Charlotte/AP) — A former Tennessee Titans cheerleader was charged with aggravated sexual battery and soliciting a minor for inappropriately grabbing a 12-year-old boy and making sexual advances toward him at his home in Murfreesboro.
According to a police report, 42-year-old Elizabeth Garner was arrested last Thursday after police and state Children's Services investigators were notified about the incident earlier in February.
The boy told investigators that Garner grabbed at his crotch and offered to perform sex acts on him while she was at his home. Garner, who last performed with the Titans cheerleading squad in 2008, told police that she was drunk and she got the boy "confused" with a man who also lived there.
"That's just absolutely no excuse for sexual assaulting a child. If you can't tell the difference between a 12-year-old and an adult then there are problems," Murfreesboro Police Department spokesman Kyle Evans told WTVF-TV.
Garner told WTVF that she's innocent. She was released on $30,000 bond.
An attorney listed for Garner in court records did not immediately return a call from the AP.

Handling Illegal Interview Questions

Most of us are aware that federal and state laws prohibit discrimination against an employee or applicant because of race, color, gender, religious beliefs, national origin, disability, or age.

It was their responsibility to figure that out before the interview conversation ever happened. There is the misconcep...

An interview is a conversation between two or more individuals with all parties involved in the process. Asking and answering questions is fair game for everyone. Unfortunately, sometimes job seekers and hiring managers alike are so uncomfortable with the interview process that they ask the wrong questions or forego their opportunity to ask questions entirely. As a job seeker, it is your responsibility to communicate to the...

April 20, 2006
The American Academy of Dermatology is issuing a warning about a skin cancer epidemic that's sweeping the United States. Officials said even though you think you're protecting yourself by using sunscreen, you might be surprised to learn you may have done irreparable damage already.
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer and most of them will be women. A new Mayo Clinic study shows these numbers will only get higher.
"We knew that there have been increases in skin cancer, but we haven't quantified it quite to that level," said Dr. Mark Russell, a University of Virginia Dermatologist.
A.J. Hunter's aunt is part of that statistic. She recently had a bout with skin cancer, but that doesn't seem to stop A.J. or her friend from laying out on the UVA lawn, hoping to catch some of the suns rays.
"I feel like a tan is healthy," said Sarah Wilson, a UVA student.
"My tendency to tan easily is one of the reasons [why] I don't worry as much. I have had a couple really bad burns, though," said A.J. Hunter, who used to tan regularly.
Dermatologists like Dr. Mark Russell said these sunburns are what people need to watch out for.
"Five sunburns will double your risk of skin cancer over a lifetime," said Dr. Russell.
A lot of times, tanning beds are to blame for bad burns. In the same study, researchers found that almost half of the cancer detected in women was found in places where the sun is normally not exposed to like the head and neck.
"Which leads one to speculate that was either the result of excessive tanning or tanning bed use," said Dr. Russell.
Dermatologists recommend people stick with the sunscreen and hats to protect against cancer in the future, but the damage may be done already. Dermatologists say there is no such thing as a safe tan.

November 27, 2014
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says almost 3.5 million civilians in Syria have virtually no access to desperately needed humanitarian aid and people are dying needlessly every day as violence and extremism escalate.
In a report to the Security Council circulated late Wednesday, Ban said neither side has implemented a U.N. resolution adopted two months ago demanding that the opposition, and especially the Syrian government, promptly allow access for humanitarian aid across conflict lines and borders.
He said the council's call on both sides to lift the sieges of populated areas also "has not been heard," calling it "shameful" that nearly 250,000 people are forced to live under such conditions.
Ban urged the deeply divided council to "take action to deal with these flagrant violations ... of international law."

Simply gorgeous capture.
Wow, what a breathtaking image! I envy your location. Do you have to travel far to see these gorgeous creatures?
About 1.5 hours but well worth the drive time
Icy white foxes on blue snow…it doesn't get much better than this. Lovely!

- Decent Product Review by The GLOW! Proje
These are really cool, the only problem is you can't swing them around without the casing falling off. I guess it just needs stronger glue.

- nice produce Review by beadinglady56
When I received these, one of them was turned on even though the battery tab was still in place. I had to use some of the batteries I bought to replace them so that it would last through a 4 hr. event. The buttons are very sensitive, so they turn on easily by themselves. I tried putting the tab back in and it seems to work somewhat. They are a good value and put off nice color for centerpieces.
