Preckwinkle endorses Hutchinson in 2nd District race, not former staffer

Updated: March 1, 2013 7:41PM
Snubbing a loyal one-time staffer, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced Monday she'll use her political muscle to push state Sen. Toi Hutchinson (D-Olympia Fields) to the front of a crowded pack of Democrats running for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s old congressional seat.
At a Monday afternoon news conference in downtown Chicago, Preckwinkle stood next to Hutchinson and told reporters it wasn't an easy decision, considering her former chief administrative officer, Robin Kelly, is also among the 17 Democrats in the race to win the South Side and south suburban 2nd Congressional District.
"I've thought long and hard and frankly struggled with this decision because Robin Kelly is a former employee of mine and friend," Preckwinkle said. But she also said this was about being pragmatic: "It's not necessarily about the person you know best or you've known the longest, but the person you think is the strongest candidate and will win — and that's Sen. Hutchinson."
Polling numbers she's looking at show candidate and former Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson — a Democrat, but one the liberal Preckwinkle calls a "conservative" she can't back — in the lead. Preckwinkle opted to back Hutchinson, whom she calls a fellow soldier in government reform and transparency. For her part, Hutchinson says she came up a close second in the polls, and with Preckwinkle's backing, "I've never felt better about my chances to win this election."
Indeed, the race could pivot on the hot-button issue that tends to define conservatives and liberals: gun control.
Over the weekend, Halvorson said at a candidates' forum she didn't support a ban on assault weapons. She told the Sun-Times Monday that it's exasperating there's already an assault weapons ban in Cook County and yet Chicago has a soaring murder rate.
"I don't want to pass another law on a law-abiding citizen until we get guns out of the hands of criminals," by cracking down on straw purchasers and other restrictions, she said.
Both Halvorson and Hutchinson have received support from the National Rifle Association, something that could turn off Democratic voters in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook and the almost daily toll gun violence takes on communities throughout Chicago.
While she didn't talk about it during the news conference, Hutchinson explained the NRA grade to the Sun-Times recently, noting that part of her Senate district is rural, and she supports weapons for hunting. She says she signed on to bills in the Illinois Legislature that ban assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Still, Kelly made hay of the NRA grade in a searing statement her camp issued Monday: "Getting an A rating from the NRA might get you President Preckwinkle's endorsement, but it won't fly with the voters in the Second District. They want someone who will fight against the NRA not stand with them. Robin Kelly is the one candidate ready to stand with President Obama to bring common sense gun control to help families throughout Chicago and the Southland."
Preckwinkle, a former Chicago alderman who's banged the drum about stricter gun-control laws, said she'll shield Hutchinson from criticism on gun control: "I will vocally defend her against attacks from opponents" on the issue.
With a month to go before the election — and a short campaign season because of Jackson's resignation — Preckwinkle says Halvorson has the name recognition, thanks to her time in Congress and an unsuccessful bid last year to unseat Jackson, that puts her ahead.
Halvorson dismisses Preckwinkle's criticism that she's a conservative, telling the Sun-Times: "They know a common-sense centrist like myself is going to win, and they don't like it."
Preckwinkle said that she and Hutchinson share many commonalities — they're both parents and former teachers. They also use the same powerhouse political consultant, Ken Snyder, who once worked for David Axelrod.

Ford Focus: MPG-Real World Numbers
kam327 Posts: 115"My 2012 Focus is currently getting 31.2 mpg..or Averaging 7.2 liters per 100km..not the 54 mpg they claim on the window sticker.."
Well come on now, do you always believe the marketing hype?
You must be in Canada. The Ford website for Canada does say "up to 54 mpg" or something like that. Which is ridiculous. You can average that high if you stay at a constant 50mph speed with no accelerations, etc. But in the U.S. no one advertises such an unrealistic number.
But at any rate, if you had done any additional research you would've seen that your average is right in line with the U.S. EPA combined rating, as well as the hundreds of Focus owners on www.fuelly.com. So feel comforted that you are in the norm. -
block_edmunds Posts: 1The size of the tank is irrelevent. The fact that it's been mentioned a few times and that you thought you needed to drive the car until you ran out of gas makes me wonder if you're calculating correctly. How much gas you use and the miles driven is all one needs to know.
1) Fill it up 100%.
2) Reset your trip odometer.
3) Drive until you get down to 1/4 tank ot 1/8th of a tank...or wait until the dummy/warning light comes on...have 1/4 tank (or less) left so you have used over 10 gallons of gas to "wash out" error due to not filling it the same exact amount each time. For example, if you fill it more the next time by 1 gallon, say 11 gallons, that means you only really burned 10gal (because you started 1 gal lower), but you think you burned 11, so you'd be off by 10%. 10% is not a huge error though (compared to the terrible mileage you saw), and it's not likely you'll refill it 1 gallon differently.
4) Put gas in it - fill it back to 100% so you're back to where it started.
5) Done. Now calculate the MPG. -
goofball81 Posts: 1Hi,
I just bought a new Ford Focus Ambiente 1.6L six speed automatic, model year 2012. I have done 3500 kms and am faced with an unusual noise. It could be either the engine or the drivetrain, but it is a shrill and just audible. It is the kind of sound one can expect to hear when driving if the radiator cap came loose (thats not the case though), like a metallic vibration. It dies off when accelarating and is absent when idle, but is there when deccelarating or cruising.
I took it to the dealer, but they couldnt identify the problem. Can someone make any helpful suggestions on what could be the problem? -

mo614 Posts: 4Thanks for your effort. Your comments and explanations to revss have been logical and accurate. I'm sure most readers have been able to understand and agree with your reasoning. Maybe if revss re-reads the posts and thinks about them some more, he'll get it too. My two cars, now with 80,000 and 90,000 mile odometer readings, go the same miles per gallon as they did during their first 5,000 miles. I bought them new about eight years ago. Neither has had any engine or transmission repairs, but have had regular oil changes and routine maintenance. With our driving styles and routes, each vehicle matches the EPA numbers, city and highway. I use a calculator each time I re-fuel. MPG = trip odometer miles divided by gallons burned between fill-ups. I don't guess by watching fuel gauge needle positions or on-board electronic MPG (estimate) displays.
mo614 Posts: 4Depending on your driving style and route, the percentages of EPA numbers you are achieving may be the same as you'd realize if you were driving other makes and models. The EPA numbers do not exist to tell you what fuel economy you will get, but only how one vehicle will compare to another given the same (tested) driving conditions. In your situation, my guess is you'd not get the EPA average in any car.
kam327 Posts: 115"Why do you think Hyundai got sued?? It's just a matter of time for Ford."
If Ford has maliciously cooked the books like Hyundai did, then yes they should be punished. But there's no evidence of that, and many Focus owners are routinely achieving the EPA ratings in their everyday driving, like me.
Hyundia was punished because they upset the apples to apples comparison that the EPA ratings afford. And that's all they afford. They DO NOT guarantee you performance. Many folks are lucky enough because of their driving habits and routes to actually achieve the EPA ratings, but many do not.
Hyundia tried to give themselves an unfair competitive advantage by making it seem like their apple (in the EPA apples-to-apples comparison scheme) was shinier and more red. Big mistake. -
kam327 Posts: 115"Well if you read through this thread and others, there people getting mileage just like me. "
Of course there will always be a relatively small number that buck the average for whatever reason. Unusual mechanical failure or whatever.
But the overall average of Focus drivers are hitting the EPA estimates. Just look at fuelly.com. The 424 2012 Focus owners there are reporting an overall average of 31.4 mpg, right on the money with respect to the EPA combined rating of 31mpg.
Whereas the 174 2012 Elantras reported on there are getting ONLY a combined rating of 29.8 mpg, relative to the higher EPA combined rating of 33 mpg.
Focus: 31 EPA combined rating - 31.4 real world average
Elantra: 33 EPA combined rating - 29.8 real world average
Hopefully it's clear to you now why Hyundai got into trouble and Ford will not. -
kam327 Posts: 115Yeah I've heard of statistics. What is that sample against 1,000, 100,000, 1,000,000? You need to know that, otherwise thats a small sample.
The minimum sample size for a 250,000 population (abt. the number of '12 Focuses sold) and 95% confidence level is 384. So I have 10% more than I need.
Will you stop the petty bickering now and accept the fact that you are in the vast minority of Focus owners getting crappy mileage? -
revss Posts: 20"Will you stop the petty bickering now and accept the fact that you are in the vast minority of Focus owners getting crappy mileage?"
Only when you curb your fan boyism and realize that there is a real concern for some of us. Maybe you just need to stop replying to these and move on.
That said, I'm interested in what happened to the guy who traded in his Focus for a Corolla. -
kam327 Posts: 115Only when you curb your fan boyism and realize that there is a real concern for some of us.
Not fan boysim - rather a search for the truth. And I do realize there is a real concern for some of you. There probably are a few cars out there with some as-yet-undiagnosed mechanical problem affecting fuel economy. But I also realize, unlike you, that based on the hard real world data out there those with fuel economy problems are in the minority.
Maybe you just need to stop replying to these and move on.
Nah, your rash generalizations need a counterpoint for all of the current car shoppers coming on here to research the possibilities. They can read your and my comments and decide for themselves.
That said, I'm interested in what happened to the guy who traded in his Focus for a Corolla.
Well based on fuelly.com data, the Corollas for the past few model years are averaging right around 31mpg, the same as the Focus. So I wouldn't expect any dramatic increase in mileage. And just like the Focus, there are Corollas on there reporting averages in the low 20's. Just depends on driving habits and traffic condtions. -

renegade8 Posts: 2OK, long story short. I rented a car to drive from Charlotte, NC to Virginia (4.5 hour drive at an average of 65-70 mph) and got 41 miles to the gallon. That was not based on the car's computer telling me how far I had until empty, but based on the starting mileage, ending mileage before fill up and the tank capacity. I loved the car so much, I went and bought one. One of the best comapct cars I have ever owned.
dandydonsatx Posts: 3I own a 2012 SE which can run on either unleaded or E85 ethanol. Not long ago, I was commuting between San Antonio and New Braunfels, TX, averaging 33.5 MPG with a combination of open highway and stop and go rush hour traffic. Now that I'm doing more city driving, the average is 28.5 MPG. I haven't broke out the calculator, but I'm getting pretty much what I expect out of a car with just a touch under 5,000 miles on the odometer. I hope this helps.

just_focus CincinnatiPosts: 29I have 13,000 miles on my 2012 SEL and was getting 31mpg in the winter and 33mpg in the summer. About a month ago I decided to fill it up with E85 and got a whopping 26.5mpg but guess what ever since then on regular unleaded (for 3 tanks now) I am getting 36mpg. I don't know how the computer knows what Octane the fuel is but I think my computer is burning the fuel more efficiently now. These number are both what the computer says and my old fashion math says. I am not sure what happened but I am not changing a thing. As far as people wanting to complain about poor gas mileage my car has never gotten below 30mpg (on regular gas) and I am real happy with it.
stevedebi LAPosts: 3,863"I have 13,000 miles on my 2012 SEL and was getting 31mpg in the winter and 33mpg in the summer. About a month ago I decided to fill it up with E85 and got a whopping 26.5mpg but guess what ever since then on regular unleaded (for 3 tanks now) I am getting 36mpg. I don't know how the computer knows what Octane the fuel is but I think my computer is burning the fuel more efficiently now... "
It is not about the computer; ethanol is less efficient than gasoline, and that is why you get fewer miles to the gallon. It simply stores less energy than straight gas, and the more ethanol you put in the worse mileage you will get. -
markus5 Posts: 102The question is still out there. Did running one tank of e-85 have any effect on mileage in the subsequent tanks ?
Some thoughts : Are these actual mpgs's or read outs from the on board computer? Is the driving patterns similar?. Weather is also a possible variable.
That said, if this was an older vehicle with dirty injectors which is e-85 capable, I would speculate that, although the e-85 is not as "energy rich", it is by its very nature a very good fuel system cleaner, and may have helped.
Anyhow any other thoughts on this ? -
PF_Flyer Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 6,133Just judging by my experiences with ethanol vs non-ethanol containing gas, I wouldn't expect that one (or even several) tank of E85 would affect future mileage running with a different blend. Anytime I find ethanol free fuel my mileage jumps up, and if i can get to where I've run all the ethanol out of the tank, my mileage is back up to where it ws before we ever had ethanol in the mix.

just_focus CincinnatiPosts: 29Well after the 3rd tank of regular unleaded I am back to 33mpg. I can not explain it but my car is not old and has only 14,000 miles on it and I drive about the same places every week. The next time I drive past the E85 station I just might try it again for giggles. Has anyone else tried E85?
smokydig Posts: 1I just took my 2012 focus on it's first long distance trip for our vacation 1300mi round trip and i averaged a costly 19-22 mpg and used the cruise control set at jus under or at the posted speed limit the entire time I regret taking it i should've taken our family Tahoe as it's way more comfortable than the joke of what they call seats in my focus sadly i know my Tahoe with a vortec V8 would get about the same mpg or better in much more comfort
yelowfocus12 Posts: 2I was commuting home on a small two lane country road in central CA. The speed limit is 55 as it is composed of lots of hills and blind turns. With the cruise control set at 55 miles per hour I was able to get 41 mpg for a stretch of 35 miles. I must say I was impressed! But then I got on the main freeway and opened it up around 80 and of course the mileage dropped. All in all, its a nice car but I have my worries long term.

What is the deal with resistance bands and medicine balls? What can they do for you? And should you buy them? Here is the lowdown on these simple training products.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands bring a simple and fun essence to your workout. The bands resemble large, open-ended rubber bands and come in various sizes. They can be used to exercise your upper and lower body through resistance.
The best use of resistance bands is to wrap them around stable objects, like a bedpost or door knob. You may also find a variety of exercises that allow you to hold the rubber band with your foot.
You can mimic many standard exercises with the bands. Hook them over a high bar for lat pulldowns or chest press. Step on the rubber bands with your feet to give some resistance for bicep or tricep exercises. You can also do combination exercises. With the bands under your feet, try doing a squat into a shoulder press. Get creative! Bands let you work on your entire body.
Seek the advice of a trainer before beginning a resistance band program. They can show you proper technique, reduce the risk of injury, and recommend exercises appropriate to your fitness level.
Resistance bands have many advantages. Some include:
- Cost. Resistance bands are affordable for anyone.
- Ease of travel. No matter where you go, the bands follow. If you travel a lot for work, bands are a great way to get in a quick workout in your hotel room.
- Ease of use. If you are a beginner looking for some simple strength training, or a regular in the gym seeking a different routine, bands offer something for everyone.
- Variety. Bands allow for movements weights do not. They will help you work different muscles in your workout routine.
Keep in mind that resistance bands do not provide an aerobic workout, which is an important part of being fit. Another disadvantage is that there is a limit to how much strength you can gain with these bands. They should be used as a way to mix up your routine or as a good travel alternative not as your main routine.
If you are purchasing resistance bands, try the various types before buying. Test out the handles. Those with a bigger grip may be more comfortable. Ideally, there should be options for a few different resistance levels. The different levels will help you progress your program. Resistance bands will let you stretch your exercise routine to new levels.
Medicine Balls
Medicine balls are rubber balls, ranging in size (softball to basketball size) and weight (from one pound to thirty pounds). They can add fun to a workout and improve the strength of your muscles.
Medicine balls can be used alone or with a workout buddy. Many exercises involve throwing and catching the weighted balls, but some can be used to enhance standing exercises that help with arms and abdominals. If you train for a specific sport, you and your buddy can mimic the ball exercises to the movements made in the sport. Consult a trainer for a medley of exercises that can be done with medicine balls.
Proper use of medicine balls requires that you have a healthy back, relatively strong core muscles, and strong joints. The nature of medicine ball exercises depends on your ability to twist, bend, jump, and maintain good balance. Although use of medicine balls improves on all of those areas, you must begin with a good base. Otherwise, you risk injury.
The prices of medicine balls vary depending on the size and weight of the ball. Different companies make medicine balls in various sizes, so shop before you buy. Some companies make a three-pound ball in softball size only and some offer it in volleyball or basketball size. Depending upon how you will use the equipment, you may want a specific size. Take time to study and test the different balls so you can buy the equipment best suited to your needs.

MOVING IMAGE: A green-skinned, side-winged gargoyle holds up a huge handful of "some ass" tokens with a meaningful look.
Some of the occupants of the Presidential viewing suite look downright shabby.
Richard Blanco, named by Obama as the Inaugural Poet, who happens to be gay, read his authored poem for the inauguration. Impressive.
So how was the poet reciting the poem?
The news broadcasts here haven't included it.
^ thanks for the clip.
What was the vibe you noted?
There seems to be a hiccup at 4.00. "Free?"
I think this quote is the best from Harvey Fierstein
"And that is how it's done, America. Obama just vanquished our foes not with guns, but with intelligence, compassion and truth. I am so proud of America today. CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT OBAMA."
"Even the prayers at today's inauguration include us. I can't stop crying with joy."

Beyonce Performance @ 57th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony - President Obama 2nd term 1/21/2013
I've been watching the Inauguration all day, love it. The parade is entertaining.
SiriusXM 11am to 3 EST
It was nice of Obama to close for Beyonce like that.
The shade. Beyonce remains unfazed.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Thank you Mr. President for including the LGTB community yesterday.
Couldn't bring myself to watch any of it .... thoroughly dismayed by the degradation of the republic, the office of the Presidency, and the process of democracy that the Obama presidency represents
I've never watched one before and see no reason to start now. Some singer who is "hot" and "in" right now sings (or lip syncs) a song, and some poet no one has ever heard of gets their 15 minutes of fame. Frankly I don't see the purpose of it.
Boring man with overdone tan in a cheap suit?

8 next steps for aspiring centenarians, who will blow their 100th birthday candle
Living a disease free for more than a hundred years is a paradise, imagine enjoying your pension, not on medicine but on leisure. Men can't make life immortal or extend it for 500 years or more with current science. Cryonics technology has invented the process of freezing bodies for revival in not too distant future and to prolong life, but for a fee of $28,000. While we can't all requests for body freezing and get revived like Sgt Spartan in the 1993 Demolition man film, it's possible go beyond the 100 years age. Would like to be an aspiring centenarian and blow your 100th birthday candle? Here are the 8 steps.
- Eat and drink polyphenol rich foods and beverages – Berries and dark violet skinned fruits such as knotweed, blueberries and grapes and seeds have two types an organic compound called polyphenols. They consist of two – flavonoids and non-flavonoids, which includes Resveratrol. These organic chemicals help increase HDL, a high density lipoprotein or good cholesterol, which prevents blood clotting, arterial and DNA damage. For resveratrol and flavonoid supplement, get a goblet glass and pour in your favorite Shiraz and Sauvignon cabernet wine.
- Be bilingual or learn a second language – If you love the elegant sound of the French language or the Romanticism of Spanish, then learning a second language is for you. Confirmed studies have shown that language learning decreases chances of contracting Alzheimer, an old degenerative and life shortening disease. The basis of bilingual learning is – it keeps brain more active. So, start reading your Spanish language for dummies book or any language you might be interested in today and avoid joining the Alzheimer statistics club.
- Be hungry, cut down on high calorie foods – Does not mean to go outside and join a hunger strike, but this is cutting down high calorie foods. Reducing calorie foods can decrease visceral fat – an abdominal fat that can increase chances diabetes and heart disease. Studies have shown that a low-calorie diet slows down metabolism and forming of free radicals. Here are the low-calorie snacks – rocket lettuce salad, avocado and egg sandwich, and of course most green leaves and fruits have a low-calorie content.
- Go for high fiber diet – Spend some time eating high fiber rich foods such as corn bran, brown rice, cauliflower, broccoli, white beans, oatmeal, spinach, flax seeds and rice bran. Fiber rich foods makes your stomach more full, and allows less time for toxins to stay in your body. Try eating regularly a bowl of oats and you will see that you can easily get rid stool than before.
- Consider more movement . Have been in an office bound job? Sitting in front of a computer 8 hours a day? Then, you are in a sedentary life. If you are in this situation, try to walk wherever your residence is within your reach, or make a habit of walking if your destination is just less a kilometer. Jog or buy a set of inexpensive dumbbell free weights.
- More greens and less red – As you can see cows and buffaloes, are strong, they eat vegetable matter, they eat greens. While this doesn't mean you have to be a goat and start munching those weeds in your garden, this reminds that vegetables and fruits have more substances essential to life. And cows and buffaloes are strong from eating veggie matter. People who eat red meat often have more risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease, and this result often in mortality. Roasted, smoked and grilled meat over high temperature have increased amounts of cancer causing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- Watch out for carcinogens, high sugar and bad cholesterols– Canned meat, grilled meat, artificial sweeteners labelled carcinogenic or have potential for carcinogens. You can find a list in internet of banned and potential food additives. For bad cholesterols, it's always those high in saturated fats examples – fried chicken with skin, mayonnaise, ready to eat snacks and chips, lobster, prawns, processed meat and margarine. Soda are thirst quenching and at the same time loaded with high sugar sweeteners. While you can't avoid them immediately, moderation is a key for heart friendly and carcinogenic free diet.
8. Balance sleep and take rest – More sleep is bad, less sleep is also bad. The body clock regulates sleep and if it's accustomed to normal periods of sleep, there are more chances of the body to repair minor tissue damage and reinvigorate energy. The lack of sleep is correlated with road accidents, nuclear reactor meltdown and airline disaster.

For want of a better name, I call these "meet in the middle" pop up cards.
Half of the design is cut from either side of the card and the two pieces are slotted together.
This card is really an elaborate variation of the slotted X mechanism. The slotted X is covered in Lessons 11 to 15. Check out the links to the other lessons in the right side column of this page.
How to make the pile of hearts card
Download and cut out template.
Cut file: PDF, DXF, Silhouette Studio, SVG.
Remove the large heart that lies on the center fold. Use it on the front of your card or discard.
Crease the fold lines at the heart bottoms, folding both piles of hearts toward the center foldline.
The card will close better if you cut the two halves of the (white) card apart at the center fold and glue them to the base card separately. I did not do this, and I got a wrinkle. (UPDATE 2/7/2014: Cutting files have been corrected to cut rather than score on center fold.) Here's one by Molly Lee to show you what I'm talking about.
Optional: back the cut out with patterned paper before gluing to the base card. I used a red stripe. Be careful not to get glue on the hearts, just the part they were cut from!
Glue cut-out part (white) to base card (red). Again, take care not to get glue on the hearts.
Pull the hearts toward each other and slot together above the center fold of the card.
The card lies completely flat when opened.
More about how this card works for the mathematically inclined....
The measurement from the center fold of the card to the crease line of the hearts is the same on both sides of the center fold. (Shown in red.)
If you draw a line from the end point of one slot to the end point of the other, you have a straight line perpendicular to the center fold. And each end point is at equal distance from the center fold. (Shown in blue).

Pafford Emergency Medical Service traded in their Bell 206 L4 helicopter, which started servicing the Delta last year, for a faster, bigger, and more powerful aircraft, the Bell 407.
This helicopter is the fastest in the Delta and will respond to emergencies in a 150-mile radius around Clarksdale, where the helicopter will be housed.
The new helicopter, which will continue to be called AIR ONE-DELTA, is now able to offer assistance to all levels of ICU care, patients up to 500 pounds, as well as emergency care.
AIR ONE-DELTA is one of only three helicopters in Mississippi that has the capability of treating ICU patients.
The new AIR ONE-DELTA has been operational for two months and is already the busiest helicopter in the Delta, according to Program Director Keith Carter.
"When 911 is called, the dispatcher uses our Integrated Response System to simultaneously activate AIR ONE-DELTA and Pafford ambulances to greatly reduce our response time," said Carter.
This response system has been in place since the first AIR ONE-DELTA became operational last year and cuts the response time of nurses and paramedics by five to seven minutes, which can be critical in life threatening situations.
The medical staff on board the AIR ONE-DELTA flight crew consists of certified emergency nurses and critical care paramedics.
By the end of the year Pafford's entire staff of nurses and paramedics will take a specialty exam to become flight certified.
Although this certification is not needed to be on the flight crew, it will be a board certification showing that they are experts in their field.

text: Some of Dr Vorstman's patients felt compelled to write about their journey in his minimally invasive prostate cancer center from evaluation to hifu treatment. These men have all taken it upon themselves to be informed and have Dr Bert Vorstman ensure that their biopsy diagnosis was validated and that their prostate cancer was indeed localized to the prostate. They also thoroughly researched their prostate cancer treatment options as they knew full well of the complications associated with traditional treatment options such as robotic prostatectomy and radiation. I chose HIFU after talking to several of my friends and discovering that some had had miserable experiences,particularly after surgery. I was diagnosed with having prostate cancer. I was anxious about my PSA reading and when the repeat PSA was still elevated,Dr Vorstman advised me that a biopsy was necessary. My wife and I were devastated when the results showed I had cancer. I started watching my PSA in 2004 when I was 44 years old. First test showed a level of 5.3 and went for my first biopsy…negative, but let's watch it. PSA levels from 7.5 to 21, 4 biopsies and 7 years later, and I was presented with my options. I did not believe that my biopsy results showed a cancer as I felt so good. After the validated biopsy report came back I was shocked. My wife and I (but mainly my wife) decided to learn as much as we could on the subject of prostate cancer on the web. I was surprised and shocked when my biopsy results showed a cancer. I was diagnosed with having prostate cancer. |

The psalmist complains of the wickedness of the wicked. (1-11) He prays to God to appear for the relief of his people. (12-18)
Verses 1-11 God's withdrawings are very grievous to his people, especially in times of trouble. We stand afar off from God by our unbelief, and then complain that God stands afar off from us. Passionate words against bad men do more hurt than good; if we speak of their badness, let it be to the Lord in prayer; he can make them better. The sinner proudly glories in his power and success. Wicked people will not seek after God, that is, will not call upon him. They live without prayer, and that is living without God. They have many thoughts, many objects and devices, but think not of the Lord in any of them; they have no submission to his will, nor aim for his glory. The cause of this is pride. Men think it below them to be religious. They could not break all the laws of justice and goodness toward man, if they had not first shaken off all sense of religion.
Verses 12-18 The psalmist speaks with astonishment, at the wickedness of the wicked, and at the patience and forbearance of God. God prepares the heart for prayer, by kindling holy desires, and strengthening our most holy faith, fixing the thoughts, and raising the affections, and then he graciously accepts the prayer. The preparation of the heart is from the Lord, and we must seek unto him for it. Let the poor, afflicted, persecuted, or tempted believer recollect, that Satan is the prince of this world, and that he is the father of all the ungodly. The children of God cannot expect kindness, truth, or justice from such persons as crucified the Lord of glory. But this once suffering Jesus, now reigns as King over all the earth, and of his dominion there shall be no end. Let us commit ourselves unto him, humbly trusting in his mercy. He will rescue the believer from every temptation, and break the arm of every wicked oppressor, and bruise Satan under our feet shortly. But in heaven alone will all sin and temptation be shut out, though in this life the believer has a foretaste of deliverance.
Psalms 10:1-18 . The Psalmist mourns God's apparent indifference to his troubles, which are aggravated by the successful malice, blasphemy, pride, deceit, and profanity of the wicked. On the just and discriminating providence of God he relies for the destruction of their false security, and the defense of the needy.
1. These are, of course, figurative terms (compare Psalms 7:6 , 13:1 , &c.).
hidest--Supply "thine eyes" or "face."
2. Literally, "In pride of the wicked they (the poor or humble, Psalms 10:17 , Psalms 12:5 ) shall be taken in the devices they (the proud) have imagined."
3. heart's--or, "soul's."
desire--that is, his success in evil.
and blesseth, &c.--he (the wicked) blesseth the covetous, he despiseth the Lord.
4. The face expresses the self-conceit, whose fruit is practical atheism ( Psalms 14:1 ).
5, 6. Such is his confidence in the permanence of his way or course of life, that he disregards God's providential government (out of sight, because he will not look, Isaiah 26:11 ), sneers at his enemies, and boasts perpetual freedom from evil.
7-10. The malignity and deceit ( Psalms 140:3 ) of such are followed by acts combining cunning, fraud, and violence (compare Proverbs 1:11 Proverbs 1:18 ), aptly illustrated by the habits of the lion, and of hunters taking their prey. "Poor," in Psalms 10:8 Psalms 10:10 Psalms 10:14 , represents a word peculiar to this Psalm, meaning the sad or sorrowful; in Psalms 10:9 , as usual, it means the pious or meek sufferer.
8. eyes . . . privily--He watches with half-closed eyes, appearing not to see.
10. croucheth--as a lion gathers himself into as small compass as possible to make the greater spring.
fall by his strong ones--The figure of the lion is dropped, and this phrase means the accomplices of the chief or leading wicked man.
11. As before, such conduct implies disbelief or disregard of God's government.
12. (Compare Psalms 9:19 , 3:7 ).
the humble--(Compare Psalms 10:17 , and Margin.)
lift up thine hand--exert thy power.
13, 14. It is in vain to suppose God will overlook sin, however forbearing; for He carefully examines or beholds all wickedness, and will mark it by His providential (Thine hand) punishment.
14. mischief and spite--provocation and trouble of the sufferer (compare Psalms 6:7 , 7:14 ).
committeth--or, "leaves (his burden) on Thee."
15. arm--power.
till thou find none--So far from not requiting ( Psalms 10:11 Psalms 10:13 ), God will utterly destroy the wicked and his deeds ( Psalms 9:5 Psalms 9:6 , 34:16 , 37:36 ).
16-18. God reigns. The wicked, if for a time successful, shall be cut off. He hears and confirms the hearts of His suffering people ( Psalms 112:7 ), executes justice for the feeble, and represses the pride and violence of conceited, though frail, men (compare Psalms 9:16 ).
