She looks too young to be the mother of the 2-year-old boy who plays beside her. But she is. The young mother is answerless when asked about the baby's father. She says her body trembles with fear each time she recalls her son's father. Then tears engulf her eyes and trickle down her cheeks. "I didn't know that man very well," says Bishwokarma, who requested her name be changed. "He used to rape me as many times as he wanted, any given time of the day." Bishwokarma, of Jhapa, a district in eastern Nepal, says she moved to Saudi Arabia four years ago to work as a nanny. Her eyes moist, she says that an employment agent enticed her with the prospect of a good income. She says she paid the agent 50,000 rupees, ${esc.dollar}700 USD, to secure the job for her. Because of a Nepali government ban on working in the Gulf, lifted just last year, she says she traveled first to India then to Saudi Arabia, where two men received her at the airport and took her to the house where she would work. But instead of working as a nanny as promised, Bishwokarma says she was forced to work as a maid. The situation continued to deteriorate. One month into the job, she says her employer's unmarried son raped her, with the help of three other men. "They were a family of three with a middle-aged father and two sons," she says. "I couldn't even understand their language, and I was beaten up by the men." She says the sexual abuse didn't stop there. Eventually, everyone in the family raped her. As she cuddles her son and pulls him onto her lap, she recalls a particular incident. "Once, the elder son called me in his room and asked me to sit on his bed," she says. "I refused because I was just a domestic helper there. But he forcefully pulled me to the bed, and I kept on crying for help, but no one came to my rescue. Despite using all his [force, when] he still couldn't get control over me, he hit me with a box on my head. I became unconscious." She says she thinks he raped her multiple times while she was unconscious because her health started deteriorating soon after. Bishwokarma says that in addition to using physical force, the sons also drugged her. She says that one of the employer's sons would give her food when no one was in the house. But she says that after eating it, she would become unconscious or sleepy. "I had to eat whatever they gave me because that would be the only food I got," she says. "In many instances, I would just get sleepy after eating. When I would wake up, I would find out I had been raped looking at my condition." But she says that, most of the time, the men skipped the drugs and physically tortured her before raping her. She says she eventually got pregnant, so the elder son kicked her out and sent her back to Nepal without paying her wages. "Now he sent me back to my country," she says. "If this had happened to me here, I could have gone to the police, but in his country I couldn't do so. He imprisoned me in his house and kept on raping me." She says she kept the story to herself for years and declined to use her real name because she fears that bringing her story into media spotlight might affect her future. "I'll make my son my support," she says, wiping a tear from her eyes. "At some point of time, somehow I feel that he'll take revenge for the injustice I had to face." Bishwokarma, who now earns a living as a tailor to support her son, says she doesn't recommend any women go abroad for foreign employment. "I went there to become financially independent," she says. "But for women, foreign employment isn't what you think it to be. They treat us like animals, not humans." She says she encourages women to find jobs in their own countries instead. "If you work hard enough, you can do something in your own country," she says. "So think of doing something here." Many Nepali women who leave the country for work return with stories of exploitation. As a result, some recommend working at home instead, insisting that it's more feasible than women realize. Others report having positive experiences with foreign employment, as long as women get the right job and know the language and laws before departing. The government banned women from working in the Gulf for safety reasons until last year and has established training centers to prepare migrant workers, but some say more needs to be done. Others say the answer is to strengthen women's rights at home. Traditionally, it has been rare for Nepali families to permit women to work abroad. But in the past decade, more and more women have been leaving the country for foreign employment. The foreign employment trend started with men going into the army during World War I, sociologist Kumar Yatru says. But the formal procedure of sending locals for foreign employment started in 1986, says Dinesh Hari Adhikari, Ministry of Labor and Transportation secretary. Because many women lack the proper documentation, statistics on the number who leave the country each year to work abroad range from 67,000 to 83,000 women, depending on the source. The Foreign Employment Department estimates that 2.3 million women have left Nepal for work to date. Sushil Dhungana, president of the Foreign Nepali Workers Rescue Center, a nongovernmental organization, NGO, that assists workers who have been exploited abroad, says that of the 67,000 women who went to the Middle East for employment in 2006, only 3,000 had proper documentation, which means they are the only ones who have left the country legally and can seek help from the government if necessary. As a result, he says that 90 percent of women who leave Nepal for foreign employment become victims of sexual violence. Out of 100 women who leave for foreign jobs, only five get the job and salary they were promised and 25 get something similar to it. Although 94 women present their certification of skill, only six of them get the visa according to their skills. According to Pourakhi, a local NGO for women migrant workers, there are 70,000 Nepali women working in Saudi Arabia, 30,000 in Kuwait, 14,000 in Israel and 15,000 in Lebanon. Of all the women, 80 percent end up as domestic helpers and 90 percent are without proper documentation. Manju BK, 26, says she left her 6-month-old daughter in Biratnagar, an industrial city in southeastern Nepal, to work in Kuwait via India in 2008. She says she thought she would earn substantial money to support her family by working as a housemaid or in a restaurant. "My husband was sick, and he also has hearing problems," she says. "Plus, what do I do when you got to take care of five daughters, their education and other living costs? There was no other option." But instead of earning money for her family, she says she came back with a prolapsed uterus and no money after repaying the loans she had taken out to pay the agents for arranging her employment abroad. In addition to doing household chores and serving as a nanny, she says she had to do intense physical labor, like lift a cooking gas cylinder up to the second floor of the house. She says that the labor was so strenuous that in less than six months, her body couldn't handle it. Her uterus became prolapsed - when it falls from its normal position - which doctors attributed to the stressful labor. "My uterus started coming out of my vagina," she says. "When I sit or squat now, it just pops out these days." Her husband, Netra Bahadur BK, says that when he found out about his wife's dire situation, he tried to contact the agent who had helped send her to Kuwait. But he says attempts to contact the agent were unsuccessful so he had to take matters into his own hands to bring back his wife, who had also lost her passport. "After continuous phone calls to the embassy, she was able to get her passport," her husband says. "I didn't know that the Nepal government had banned women from working in the Gulf. I heard in these countries women had to take permission from the police to talk to men other than their employers. Maybe it's for the security of the women that the government has put the ban." Still, BK, who lacks a basic education and was never able to earn much at home, says that making 11,000 rupees, ${esc.dollar}155 USD, a month was a big deal for her. She says it made her forget all the hardship she endured. "My employer gave me a six-month leave after my family called time and again," she says. "They told me to come back after my health checkup. So I'll have to decide if I want to go back again or not." But her husband says it's out of the question. "I will now never let my wife go abroad," he says. Sanam BK, a common last name in Nepal, 34, from Dharan, a city in eastern Nepal, says she also felt misled when she went to work abroad. During her first stint abroad in Kuwait, she says she was not happy with the housework she had to do. A few years after returning from Kuwait, she became a member of the Pourakhi chapter in Dharan. She says that she took a beauty course and that after doing more research, she decided to go to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where she was promised a job in a beauty parlor. "Because I had knowledge about it, I had strictly told the agent that I would only do the job I asked for or I would return," she says. "It's very important that you know the language, have the skills and be aware of legal formalities when you're going for foreign employment." But BK says she didn't receive the job at the beauty parlor. Instead, she ended up as a domestic helper. "The house I used to work [in] had 25 members," she says. "I had to cook for some 48 people every day, and that was too difficult for me." She says she repeatedly pled with her agent to get her a new job. But BK says the agent never did, so she returned to Nepal after eight months. BK, who paid the agent 50,000 rupees, ${esc.dollar}700 USD, to go to Dubai, says that women have to go through an agent in order to seek employment abroad. But she says that the jobs she received abroad weren't worth the commission she paid the agents and money she spent on the two trips. "I'm trying to open my own beauty parlor here," she says. "With the money you spend on going abroad, you might as well invest in something here and get more return." Poonam Dewan, 30, who is also from Dharan, says she went to work in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates because her husband had a job there. "I returned after seeing the state of women and how they were being treated," Dewan says. Dewan says she instead decided to open a cyber café in Dharan. She says she earns 25,000 to 30,000 rupees, ${esc.dollar}350 to ${esc.dollar}420 USD, every month. "I recommend Nepali women not to go abroad [for work]," she says. "And even if they are to go, they should possess the skills, know the language and their rights." Kamala Sinkhada, 39, of Jhapa, recently returned from working in Dubai, where she says she had a positive experience. She says she is aware of several women being sexually exploited in foreign countries, but that women can make themselves less vulnerable by knowing the language, the laws and their rights in the foreign country. She also says some jobs are more prone to sexual exploitation than others. "Such cases mostly happen when women work as domestic help or maids," she says. "I worked in a department store." She says that with a suitable job and knowledge of the country, foreign employment solves financial problems for women and also shows them that they can work abroad just as men do. "From my earnings from Dubai, I have been able to educate my children," she says. She says that her experience was so positive that she plans to find another job abroad. "I will go [to work abroad] again," she says. "My husband will take care of the children in the meantime." The Nepali government banned women from going to work in the Middle East in 1998 after the case of Kani Sherpa became public, Adhikari says. Sherpa committed suicide after her employers in Kuwait physically and mentally tortured her. The government lifted the ban last year. But even during the ban, some 20,000 women still flocked to the Middle East without any documentation every year, says Manju Gurung of Pourakhi. She says that as of 2010, 100,000 Nepali women were working abroad in the Middle East without proper documentation. She says that Nepali women are in demand because of their hardworking stature and honesty, but their lack of education makes them vulnerable to abuse and other problems. She says many have revealed that they were sexually exploited during private counseling sessions, but that most won't admit this to other people. "Nepal's labor law doesn't have any stature for domestic helpers, which makes it more difficult for women to utilize their rights," she says, referring to both domestic and migrant workers. "And it is because of the weak policies of the government that the middlemen/agents are actively engaged, making women vulnerable toward violence." Gurung says that there should be a Nepali Embassy in each foreign country where the number of Nepali women workers exceeds 5,000 and a consulate for countries with fewer women. But the lack of documentation makes it hard for the government to gauge how many women are working abroad, while the ban was only recently lifted. Yatru says that the entire process of making women aware of foreign employment issues and their rights abroad is weak. Yatru, who has been analyzing the trend of foreign employment, says that 16 percent of women who work abroad return with no income. And because they work as domestic helpers and lack legal documentation, they don't get any assistance from the Foreign Employment Promotion Board, comprised of government officials and representatives from the private sector, or the government itself. Sthaneshwor Devkota, acting president of the Foreign Employment Promotion Board, attributes the severe hardships that women face abroad to a lack of skills and education. Recalling his investigative visit to the Middle East, he says that some women were denied their salaries if they broke even a single glass by mistake. Nainkala Thapa of the National Women's Commission, an organization for women created by the government, says that because of improper or a lack of predeparture orientations and skills trainings, some women have also been the targets of human trafficking. She also says that in some countries, there have been reports of discrimination against women based on their race and skin color. The government created a mandatory training for women leaving for foreign employment and offers 700 rupees, ${esc.dollar}10 USD, as a cash incentive for its completion. But Dhungana says that women rarely register for the training because they work abroad illegally. Moreover, he says that there are 53 training centers, but that they are all clustered in Kathmandu, the capital, and are inaccessible to women in remote districts, who are the most likely to seek foreign employment. He says employment agencies cash in on this by charging women for fake training documents. Saru Joshi, regional program coordinator of U.N. Women-Nepal, says that women migrant workers have been on the rise in Nepal in recent years. But she says this hasn't increased their socio-economic standing because of a lack of rights at home. "In Nepal, women still don't have property rights," she says. "So all the money they bring back after years of hard work goes into the custody of her husband or in-laws. At the end of the day, they're always empty-handed." She says the government has created policies to ensure women have equal rights with men, but that Nepal is still a patriarchal country so cultural and social traditions have limited the policies' implementation. "Therefore, the government should have concrete policies to govern the rights of women," Joshi says.

The Lunar New Year Festival (LNYF) is an annual event on the Washington University Campus celebrating the Lunar New Year and promoting awareness of the different aspects of Asian culture from China to Korea and more. This spectacular show, held for two nights in Edison Theatre, is a completely student-run production and promotes interaction and unity among the various Asian groups on campus. At the same time it enables both the Washington University and Saint Louis communities to explore the Asian heritage from a traditional as well as modern perspective. Through a great variety of exciting performances of acting, dancing, and music, people of all backgrounds can enjoy and celebrate the New Year together. While LNYF makes its mark through the final production showcasing various facets of Asian culture, it does not stop at the level of simply "another cultural show." LNYF seeks to leave a prolonged impact upon its viewers, and accomplishes this through two means: our skit and annual philanthropy. In the skit, we seek to demonstrate important issues that Asian Americans deal with on a daily basis. Also, through the philanthropy that LNYF sponsors, the group is able to leave an impact not only on the school but also upon the global community.
Right now, there are 872 million people around the world who are hungry. Of which, 34 million are children suffering from the life-threatening condition of severe acute malnutrition. If nothing
changes, at least one million children will die this year as a result of malnutrition.
That is, if nothing changes.
Lunar New Year Festival is supporting Action Against Hunger (ACF*) in their endeavor to make a change. Action Against Hunger is an international humanitarian organization that aims to end the cruel injustice of world hunger. Its 5,000+ field staff, and extensive in-country programs provide effective treatment for acute malnutrition, and provide sustainable solutions to hunger. ACF provides effective and thorough life-saving treatments for children suffering from acute malnutrition, a fatal result of simply lacking food.
This year, Lunar New Year Festival is partnering with Action Against Hunger (ACF* International) in their mission to end world hunger. ACF provides services in nutrition, water sanitation, food sustainability and emergency response to people across the world, including Chad, Kenya, and Sudan, three of the world's hunger hotspots. Their programs are launched during times of crisis and focus on serving the most vulnerable victims: young children and pregnant or nursing mothers. From educating communities about water sanitation to enabling farmers to invest in sustainable food crops to revolutionary nutrition products and treatment protocols, ACF works within communities to ensure lasting change and improves the lives of over 5 million people each year.
Please join us in this fight against hunger. Help us reach our goal of $6,750 to treat 150 children with acute malnutrition. For the 34 million children who will wake up hungry today. And for the heartbreaking number that will not get to wake up tomorrow.
Let us take action, before hunger takes lives.

The Amico Report: On Bobcats, Cavs, Wizards and West
AUG 14, 2013 6:47p ET
Question: How much improvement should Bobcats fans expect this season? - James McBee
Answer: People like to rip on the Bobcats, but they should be improved. First, you have to expect youngsters like Kemba Walker and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to be better. Second, Gerald Henderson finished strong last season. Third, I liked the choice of Cody Zeller in the draft -- and mostly, the signing of Al Jefferson in free agency. The Bobcats may not be playoff-bound, but their days of being a joke are over.
Q: Who is your surprise team in the East? Cavs, Wizards or Raptors? - @iSwishKidz
A: Of the ones you listed, I'll go with the Wizards. I say that because I'll be surprised if the Cavs DON'T make the playoffs (with or without a healthy Andrew Bynum). Anyway, I really like the Wizards' young trio of John Wall, Bradley Beal and rookie Otto Porter. As for the Raptors, they'll be dangerous, especially if Jonas Valanciunas continues to show the improvement he displayed in summer league. But final answer: Wizards.
Q: When does NBA training camp start? - @CavsSportstalk
A: While no official date has been released, I suspect most teams will hold their media day Monday, Sept. 30, with training camp to begin the following day (Oct. 1). Not everyone starts on the same day, mind you.
Q: Who got overpaid the most this offseason? - Jared K. Mueller
A: Well, Josh Smith is getting $13.5 million from the Pistons next season. I'd say he's a candidate, but you look at some of the people who are earning more (read: Emeka Okafor) and maybe Smith's deal isn't so bad -- especially if the Pistons provide him with a rebirth of sorts. So as much as I like the Wizards' John Wall, I'll probably go with him. His reported five years and $80 million is based more on potential than what he's actually accomplished.
Q: Still think the Nuggets are a top five team in the West even after what happened in the off-season? - @M1J91
A: My top five in the West as of today: 1. Spurs; 2. Thunder; 3. Rockets; 4. Clippers; 5. Grizzlies. So to answer your question, no. But I do think the Nuggets (and Warriors) are playoff teams, with the eighth team TBD.
Q: Lot of predictions keeping the Hawks in playoffs. Considering the Wizards, Cavs, Raptors and Pistons pushing and Hawks didn't get better, is that fair? - @Kenby92
A: Well, maybe. So far, those other teams only improved on paper. So much more depends on chemistry (and, of course, good health and luck). Free-agent signee Paul Millsap may be a better fit for the Hawks than Josh Smith was. We won't really know until they roll out the ball. But like the teams you mentioned, I think the Hawks stand a chance to be better. I really, really like their coaching hire (Mike Budenholzer), that's for sure.
Q: How good is Cavs rookie Anthony Bennett going to be? I go back and forth all the time! - @iamacavalier
A: That's a great question. Without seeing Bennett play against guys trying to just MAKE the NBA in summer league, it's extremely difficult to tell. On the bright side, at 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds, Bennett is already built for the league. He's also pretty skilled. The key will be how quickly he can adapt those skills to a more physical and much faster game than he ever saw at UNLV.
Q: What do you think of Tristan Thompson switching hands? And who do you think is the Cavs' starting five? - Matt Elliott
A: To me, it says you drafted a project at No. 4 if the guy is switching his shooting hand entering his third NBA season. And man, it really makes me miss the days when top-five picks were ready for the league on draft night. This isn't intended to trash Thompson, and I admire his attempts to always improve, but this is unheard of and downright weird to me. Not to say it won't work. Maybe it will. I just don't like it.
As for part two of your question, it doesn't matter what I say without a day of practice under a new coach (Mike Brown). But I'll go with Andrew Bynum, Anderson Varejao, Earl Clark, Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving.

Another week down in WWE and another seven days closer to WrestleMania XXX so let's see what happened in the past week in the WWE Universe.
WWE Week in Review 3/3/14-3/9/14
Vince McMahon trolls Chicago.
Bow down to the master, bow down to Vince McMahon. There was talk for a couple of weeks that the crowd in Chicago was going to "hijack" RAW. So, what does Vince McMahon do? He plays the WWE Universe like puppets.
On a scale of 1-10 on how bad that crowd could have been they were probably at a 3. The only time they were out of line was during the Christian/Sheamus match. Other than that, the CM Punk chants were kept to a minimum and the show was reacted to the way you'd expect it to.
The show opened with "Cult of Personality" playing and everyone was expecting CM Punk to come out and instead it was none other than Paul Heyman. I don't think there was anyone else in WWE that could have pulled off this "trolling" better than Heyman with the exception of Vince himself. Vince sent Paul Heyman out there so the fans could get all their venom out early and they did. Heyman did a masterful job of playing the fans' emotions. He was first sympathetic with them for Punk not being there then turned on them telling them they are the reason that Punk wasn't around anymore. Then, and only Heyman can do this, seamlessly transitioned the promo into heat for himself and Brock Lesnar for their WrestleMania match with The Undertaker. It was a masterful job by Mr. Heyman.
In addition to that, Vince gave the crowd pleasing moments such as The Usos Tag Title win and the Shield/Wyatts rematch. WWE also had Daniel Bryan get physical with Triple H and had The Authority go full heel so the crowd would direct their venom at them. It was a masterfully booked show and Vince McMahon deserves all the credit in the world for keeping Chicago in check and made RAW enjoyable instead of the mess it could have been.
There's still no sign of CM Punk.
I'm sorry WWE Universe, but it's time to move on. If he didn't return this past Monday, I can't see him returning at all now and to be honest, I don't even want him to at this point. I want to I'm a CM Punk fan and he makes WWE better by being on RAW and SmackDown but you have to remember that he left. He is the one that walked out on WWE and in essence the fans. I feel like I say this every week but I keep having people tell me that WWE is in the wrong here. I'm sorry but I don't see it that way. Punk was slotted as the number two babyface in WWE behind John Cena and was going to face Triple H at WrestleMania by all accounts. That's hardly being "held down" as I've been told by some people.
If Punk were to show up say this Monday and be slotted into the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania, I'd have a huge problem and it would set a terrible precedent. You can't have guys walking out and ruining the build to your biggest show only to return when they see fit because they finally got what they wanted.
Yea, it sucks that Punk went out the way he did and he hasn't had the chance to say "goodbye" and put on more classic matches but it was his choice to leave and it's time to let him fade away like he apparently wants. Stop chanting his name and start focusing on the guys that didn't walk out on you and are busting their tails every night to entertain you.
Main Event moves to the Network and will air live going forward.
When WWE debuted Main Event I liked the concept of the show. They would have a one hour program built around one match featuring top tier talent. They would give the wrestlers at least 20 minutes to have a match and they'd have interviews with the talent before and after the match getting their perspective on the match and they would also air videos on each guy showing you a different side of them. It was something different and with all the programming that WWE churns out it is important to differentiate between the shows so the fans don't have an attitude that they can miss certain shows.
That format lasted all of two months but they would still have great matches and the rest of the hour would be supplemented by RAW recaps and other matches featuring ancillary talent. That was fine to me but after the New Year the show deteriorated into Superstars 2.0. The show last week was headlined by Rybaxel and 3MB vs. The Rhodes Brothers and Los Matodores including the bull. That's a far cry from the Champion vs. Champion CM Punk vs. Sheamus match that headlined the debut show.
On RAW, WWE announced that Main Event would air live on the Network and on SmackDown made the announcement that it would go live Tuesday nights on the Network going forward. For the first live Main Event they had Daniel Bryan face Kane. That's a huge step up from the last show. With so much content on the Network it would be nice to see Main Event reclaim its old format so whether live or on demand, it gives the fans a reason to seek out the program. It was at least a step in the right direction that we saw Daniel Bryan and a Tag Team Championship Match this past Tuesday.
Other News
Hulk Hogan will be on RAW this Monday. Hogan is being advertised as having a huge WrestleMania announcement. A lot of speculation is that Hogan will book Daniel Bryan into a match at WrestleMania.
The Undertaker also returns this Monday. I haven't heard if Brock Lesnar will be there but if Undertaker doesn't stab someone with a pen, I will be disappointed.
The Usos win the WWE Tag Team Titles. The twin brothers beat the New Age Outlaws to win the titles this past Monday night. It was a special moment that really should have happened at WrestleMania but good for the Usos, they really worked hard and deserved it.
Paul Bearer is added to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014. No one gave me more nightmares as a child than he and The Undertaker. He was a one of a kind manager and very deserving of the honor.
SPOILER ALERT: I'm naming Daniel Bryan Wrestler of the Week. You probably figure that it's because Bryan main evented RAW, Main Event and SmackDown this week, winning each of his matches. It's not. He's the wrestler of the week because him making fun of Batista's skinny jeans and belly button tattoo on SmackDown was the greatest thing to ever occur in a WWE ring.
The Retro Wrestling Match of the Week: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart in a Submission Match at WrestleMania 13.
I was playing WWE 2K14 the other day and I played the 30 Years of WrestleMania, Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin match from WrestleMania 13. After completing the match I had to turn on WWE Network and rewatch this classic. This match had everything you could want in a wrestling bout. Aside from being a five star classic, it was the payoff to a heated feud that was simmering for almost six months. You had the perfectly played double turn where Hart became a heel and Austin was positioned as the top babyface after the match. The thing that will always stand out to me is how perfectly Bret Hart played his role. Hart entered that match as the veteran legend and his job was to make Stone Cold Steve Austin look like a million bucks and put him over as the next top guy in the company. Despite winning the match, Hart did exactly that and should be commended for that effort. This match gave us the iconic shot of a bloody Austin trying to fight out of the Sharpshooter. Austin lost but never gave up. He passed out from the pain and made the fans believe he was indeed the "toughest SOB in the WWF". This was a true classic on an otherwise forgettable WrestleMania.

SARASOTA, Fla. – Buck Showalter has been able to keep many of his regulars off the road this spring. J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis and Matt Wieters haven't made any trips. Chris Davis, Nate McLouth, and Brian Roberts went to Fort Myers last Tuesday to play Boston.
A week after that trip, Showalter is planning on most of his regulars going to Hammond Stadium to play the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.
"We're going to be the Griswolds, a family road trip. Some of these guys got to go and get some gray pants," Showalter said.
Davis, Hardy, McLouth and Roberts will be going. Matt Wieters may go, and if he feels up to it, Markakis may play for the first time since being scratched with back spasms on March 3.
Markakis said he felt better on Monday morning and is nearly ready to play after his second day of batting practice. Showalter said he would be the DH.
Wieters was a maybe, and Showalter seemed doubtful about taking Jones along.
NOTES: A day after straining his lower back, Trayvon Robinson is feeling better. Showalter said he could have played today, but should be ready to play on Tuesday.
-Steve Johnson, who had been scheduled to start on Wednesday night against the Yankees, has been moved back a day due to lower back discomfort. He'll start Thursday against Tampa Bay. Jair Jurrjens will start in his place.

Yup, here comes another too-much-reading-about-finance induced post! Feel free to pass over if it isn't your thing, I totally get it. I am WAY too much for most people when it comes to my money quirks… (Pity my husband, I am not kidding.)
Anyhow, this time my reflections come to sit on what's been deemed by some to be a curse and evil to be avoided at all costs, and what others see as a normal part of life: car loans!
Necessary evil?
Um, I honestly don't know many people who could walk onto a car lot and buy either a new-new or new-to-you car without batting an eye. And I mean buy-buy, like write the check and own the puppy free and clear, right then and there. So, to like 85% of my friends (yes, I totally made that number up) car loans represent an expected life expense.
Except that, to me, it isn't.
Yet I have a loan!
Yup, it isn't an expected expense to me, but I still have a car note to call my own. Awww, aren't I such a lucky one? Perhaps only in that my note is an itty bitty one, compared to the monsters that some people must have.
You see, I lived for nearly two years free of monthly car payments. At ~$250/month in insurance, it is definitely not missed in this house. In some quick, inconclusive searching, it seems that the average monthly car payment teeters around the $400 mark. $400?!?! I seriously cannot imagine having a $400/month expense thrown at me. It would be insane. And for what? I really don't see that many awesome cars driving around… (Where I live anyhow.)
So what's my deal?
I guess it helps that I'm not interested in brand-new cars. Like, at all. I have zero desire to go out and own a shiny new zero-owner car. Can't tell you why, honestly, just that that's how I am. I'd rather buy used, after looking into how to pick out a good used model. Maybe not surprising then that my youngest is almost nine years old? And the oldest nearly twenty?
Maybe it's just my insane love of '80's era, boxy Japanese cars. Or my appreciation of the cars the '90's produced… But there aren't many new cars I find myself lusting over. It's mostly the old ones — A beautiful FC RX-7. A cute AE86. Heck, even the '80's Volkswagen GTi's get my attention, and I'm not normally a VW fan. (To say nothing of BMW's from the same years!) I just find that the cars I want aren't produced anymore. Or just the ones that are I can't afford new; hello Lotus, Ferrari and Porsche.
Then there's the unthinkable….
I was flabbergasted the first time I ever heard of someone modifying a car they didn't own outright…. Using credit cards. I think I had to pick up my jaw and pop it back into place. I had no idea what to think.
First off, I find it presumptuous to begin seriously modifying a car that you don't own outright. No, I'm not totally against it…. I mean, I have my 240SX financed, and we've already put quite a lot of money into her. However, I know that owning her will be accomplished soon enough. I'm biding my time to build up my credit, but fully intend on killing the note by the one year mark. It's only a two year loan… But I just can't let it stick around that long. I must own my third beautiful Japanese car free and clear.
My feelings were even more solidified when I heard the story about one guy who's S2000 was repossessed. If I remember right, it was a black 2006…. With a crap load of expensive work done to it. She was awesome and killer, with a set of Volks and the bolt-on supercharger kit. One beautiful car, with one tiny problem — she wasn't actually owned. She ended up getting repossessed by the bank… Presumably because the guy stopped paying on his note. So he didn't have the money to make his car payment, but he had the money to pay for expensive mods?
Only one conclusion here.
The only logical conclusion would be that he didn't have the money for the modifications, either. In which case I'm extremely amused — how would you like to owe a ton of money for modifications on a car that you no longer possess? Yup, I'm sure that's everyone's idea of a good use of funds here.
Then there's the other guy that I knew here. I found out that he was still paying on his Civic, but he used credit cards to buy his supercharger set up. Sure, he was counting on a pending deployment to pay off the card… But still. If you're gonna spend money on a car, why not pay it off? There was another Civic guy here who was still paying on his when he supercharged it. Only to turn around and trade it in for an Evo X, which now has some (pointless, mind you) mods. I can just about guarantee you that he did not buy that girl outright.
Am I advocating no fun?
No, I'm not saying that owing money on your car has to come before everything else. Just that modifying your car shouldn't take priority over owning your car. If you're positive you can handle the payment, go right ahead… With cash, please. Don't go further in to debt to finance a hobby that you cannot afford. Cut costs elsewhere, do yourself a favor and embrace good personal finance habits now and figure out how to truly afford it. I assure you, it can be done. If you can't, then you must not be as into it as you thought. Money's good for sorting out priorities that way.
Closing thoughts.
Car loans probably aren't as evil as I initially thought. That doesn't mean I'm running out to go and finance another car, though. I fully plan on financing something new and fun after I get situated into my first "real" job… And I've currently got my eye on a Lotus Elise or Exige for that. Then again, the Porsche Cayman is also looking like a really good option too…
For now, I'm practicing on my 240SX — learning to budget for payments, finding extra money for the debt and creating a buffer that would pay my note for x number of months if something happened, cover repairs just in case or, eventually, just pay the darn thing off.
All in all, it's up to you to use credit wisely. Lessons learned in the bust of the housing bubble apply to car loans, too — don't finance more than you can comfortably afford, including all the expenses besides the mortgage/car payment. (You know, insurance, maintenance, etc.) It can either help you or hurt you, depending on what you do with it.
Just keep in mind that modifying a car is that much more sweet when you know that nobody can come in and take her away from you. And, seemingly contrary to popular belief, there is life without car loans — and it's pretty awesome if you ask me.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Preparing CMS Web Graphics and Layouts Using Open-Source Tools, Jen Kramer shows how developers and graphic designers can collaborate to create a great site design that integrates with a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla!, all using open-source software. This workflow is based on two existing open-source design tools, KompoZer and GIMP. Jen shows how to modify web graphics and create slices with GIMP, and then place these in an HTML page integrated with CSS in KompoZer. Along the way, she discusses web design best practices and special challenges that might arise when designing for CMS software. Exercise files are included with this course.
All right! Our next task is to assign IDs to all of these divs that we just created and we might start to give them a basic style as well. KompoZer has a great tool for creating styles within KompoZer, and you don't have to know a whole lot of HTML to use it. It's this icon at the top called the CSS Editor and if you click that, you'll see that we have a screen where we can have an internal style sheet and I am going to show you how to make an external style sheet.
Remember that an internal style sheet means that the styles are incorporated at the head of the document, using the style tag. These are called embedded style sheets, another term perhaps you've heard somewhere. An external style sheet is a separate file with all the styles in it. Most content management systems are going to work better with an external style sheet than they will with an internal style sheet, and it will make maintenance easier in the long-term. So what we're going to do is I am going to click on Internal stylesheet and I'm going to say Linked stylesheet.
It's going to ask me some questions here and I'm just going to say Create Stylesheet. When I go back to Internal stylesheet, I now get to say Export stylesheet and switch to exported version. It will ask me what I want to call that stylesheet. Now if I was building this site for Joomla! and Joomla! templates, I would need to have a folder called images and I'd need to have a folder called css. My images folder contains my sliced-up graphics and my css folder would contain the style sheets that I'd be using with my Joomla! template.
Other content management systems may have different structures they require for organizing your style sheets and your images. You may want to follow that structure instead. I'm going to go into the css folder and I am going to call this default.css. You'll see that the screen updates so that we have css, the folder, default.css, which is the name of the stylesheet up here in the left-hand column. If I click the plus sign, you don't see anything underneath. That's because we haven't created any styles yet.
Now let's go ahead and create some styles. I am going to once again go to the Paint icon and I'm going to go to Style rule, which will create a new style for me. And as you can see, I can create many kinds of styles. I am just going to create a custom style rule and I'm going to call this first one #wrapper and I am going to create the style rule. At this point I can assign various attributes to the style that I just created. In the case of wrapper, this is the div that's outside of everything.
This is a fixed width design, so we're going to want to make wrapper 900 pixels wide. Why 900 pixels? Because that's how wide the graphic designer designed the graphic, the white area of the webpage. So I am going to go to Box and I am going to set the Width to 900 pixels. I'm also going to set the Left Margin to auto and the Right Margin to auto. This little trick here will center the wrapper div directly in the middle of the webpage, and all the other divs will become 900 pixels wide as well, and they'll fit nicely inside.
Next, I am going to create another style. Once again back here to the Paint palette and saying new style rule. I am going to create one called #header, and at this point I am just going to create a whole bunch of styles without assigning any more attributes to them. We'll go back and we'll assign the attributes in a little while. We'll create a style rule for nav. We'll create a style rule for contentwrapper. We'll create a style rule for content.
We'll create a style rule for left, and we'll create a style rule for footer. Now that we've created all of these IDs, now we need to go and assign them to the divs. So I am going to say OK, which will close the Stylesheet window, and now what I am going to do is, using my DOM Explorer, I'm going to select the first div. Down here in the breadcrumb, if I right- click on div, there's a flyout here for ID and I can choose wrapper.
See how that shrunk in the width and it's centered it nicely on the page. Note that the bar on top tells you that it's 900 pixels wide now. So that's our first div. Our second div is header. So once again this is a right-click or a Ctrl+Click on the div, ID > header and the ID of nav, the ID of contentwrapper, the ID of left, and the ID of content, and finally the ID of footer.
So all of our divs have been assigned IDs and we're ready to start doing some more styling and dropping some images into our design, which is what we'll do next.

Big 12 Commissioner Open to Changing Name; Suggests Calling it "Old-Fashioned Conference"
Categories: Follow That Story, Sports
|Here's betting tailgaters continue drinking beer even if the Big 12 does become the "Old-Fashioned Conference."
Asked whether the Big 12 (soon to have ten teams) should consider a name change, Beebe fired back to reporters: "I'm in communication with (Big Ten) commissioner Jim Delaney now about a swap."
Asked whether all is well in the conference after the defection of Nebraska and Colorado earlier this year, Beebe responded: "I guess we could get all the athletic directors and board members up here and sing 'Kumbaya' and maybe that would help some of you."
So what to call the new ten-team version of the Big 12, which Beebe suggests will be stronger and better -- just like conferences of yore. "Maybe it should be the Old-Fashioned Conference?" suggests Beebe.

The assertion that private prison corporations have "sole responsibility" for prison operations and that the Mississippi Department of Corrections "has no say" other than a "monitoring relationship" ("Prison Q&A," May 21) is erroneous and one with which the U.S. Supreme Court disagrees.
Nearly a quarter-century ago, the Court held that states cannot avoid accountability for what happens in their prisons by contracting away certain functions. Recent years have witnessed shocking violence, including suicides, beatings and rapes, as well as abominable medical and mental health care at Mississippi's private prisons and state prisons that contract out health care services to Wexford. MDOC remains responsible for these horrors, even if the direct perpetrators are for-profit corporations with whom MDOC does business.
MDOC's "monitoring relationship" does not work. Time after time, MDOC fails to keep tabs on its contractors and hold them to account for their actions.
The nightmarish conditions at the privately operated Walnut Grove juvenile facility led a federal judge to call it a "cesspool." Conditions at the privately operated East Mississippi Correctional Facility are at least as appalling. A new prison vendor may bring in new faces to the facility, but will do nothing to fix the department's ongoing lack of oversight of EMCF.
Once again, the remedy may lie in litigation.

@ Batter up....Why would you want kids to play baseball... when they should be in sweat shops working 14 hour days?
@ Tiger....are you a Bengal or a Siberian tiger?
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

I've gone to sun microsystems web page, and have downloaded several things that I thought may help, but thus far, none of them have. Any ideas or knowledge on where else I can find this for download?

Cool Emerging Technologies

Vision Capitalist.
Okay – Who am I kidding?
I am not a Venture Capitalist; I am a Vision Capitalist. Thanks to my West Coast friends, I have had a successful track record, was bought out four times, and worked with great people at very innovative companies. With 25 years of working on the East Coast for West Coast companies, I understand the differences, expectations and the market and I am able to blend together a business plan that is a win win for all.
As Vision Capitalists, we invest both time and money in innovative companies, recognizing that great opportunities do exist right here in the Baltimore-Dulles Alley (BD Alley). B7 provides market intelligence, assists in the capital raise with both east coast and west coast venture capitalists, recruits and hires talent for local companies and provides business intelligence to companies that are both inside and outside the alley. It is B7's intent to channel half of our resources in the region.
B7 provides market information and insights that help our clients make more effective decisions while in early stage development and untapping value in embedded investments. B7's mission is to find, vet, build and market emerging technologies that are primarily in the BD Alley.
Transforming the BD Alley.
If we choose to lay aside parochial ambitions and look at the greater good, we have an opportunity to transform the alley and create an eco–system that will support and operate in one of the richest and deepest technology wells of knowledge in the country. Our nation was built to transform, adapt and innovate. B7 will work to stimulate that energy and do our part to create a vehicle and culture for inspiration and innovation.
Things we are doing.

Capital City Fire and Rescue officials say they have solved the mystery of some of the arsons committed in Juneau. They believe that a seven-year old boy started at least five of the fires in the downtown area. They include fires at a commercial structure, and an elementary school and an outdoor grass area that the boy, his name not being released, allegedly admitted starting over the last four months. The boy was apparently was tracked down by use of video surveillance at a recent fire.
Total damage was estimated at $1000.
The arsons were solved by the Juneau Fire & Arson Joint Task Force which includes CCF&R Fire Marshals and Detectives from the Juneau Police Department.
We'll continue to update this story as it develops.

Ms. Bautista,
I find it stunning that this paper still refers to the bringing of RPM into the center of our town as a success. I would find it interesting if you would check out other properties that RPM owns and operates and see what kind of economic development was spurred by low incoming housing (sounds like a some good investigative Journalism). How about you start with RPM's Fairview property in Camden?
How is more low-income housing going to help downtown? Trout and city council are destroying any future development downtown by letting in RPM.
VOTE TROUT OUT OF OFFICE so he can spend more time selling malt liquor to vagrants.
First, I want to thank you for staying downtown. However (and respectfully), I feel that finding an alternative storefront in downtown Woodbury is not rocket science considering the amount of vacancies.
I also disagree that she brought anything that would be viable to the predominantly middle class citizens that reside in Woodbury (just beyond the eyesore of Broad St).
Good luck with your new storefront and I hope you sue the slumlord that previously housed your business for lost income.
Ms. Abbruzzese was hired to redevelop - meaning bring in businesses that would improve the quality of life for the majority of the Woodbury population that are not on govt subsidies. Businesses that would attract more homeowners looking for a nice walkable city with a quality downtown experience. SHE FAILED - and doesn't have the expertise or education to be in a redevelopment position (she is in PR). She is now jumping ship in Woodbury because she knows that she doesn't have the skills needed to do what the town is charging her.
If you want Glassboro to have more low income housing and dollar stores, stick with Ronda.
Great Job on paving the way on a discount supermarket and more affordable housing in downtown Woodbury! Looks like Glassboro officials are drinking from the same pool of stupidity as Woodbury. Good riddance.
Hey Nancy - Are you aware of the irony in your post? I live in the St. Pat's neighborhood; their entire compound is barely maintained. For once I would like to see the catholic church not act like a Fortune 500 company. Glad the zoning board made the right choice - St. Pat's stop claiming poor and either sell or fix the eyesore.
The paper supports preserving one Green building, and turning it into low income housing, but not saving another Green family structure? The church is willing spend several hundred thousand dollars to raze the structure and repave only gaining a handful of parking lots (when there are literally hundreds of spots in that location) but not investing the same amount into making it an attractive useful part of neighborhood. Thats wrong and the Zoning Board got it right on this one.
RPM's other development in our area is a high density / low-income housing development in Camden. 70 units. These development companies have one thing in mind... collecting government Section 8 checks.
We talk about history on this forum often, lets reflect on the past of another building downtown called the White House. Built as condos and now low - income housing and prohibiting redevelopment.
Thats was a really close count, but can you be specific on how Pottillo "failed" his ward? Your criticism is very harsh (implying that he is dishonest) and the vote was virtually split.
Big Frank T - actually if you followed this story there was a major attempt to save this building last year by a committee of concerned citizens. But $10,000,000 in this economy, being raised by a town of 10,000, is no easy feat.
Feedell - just because several blocks are looking poor in the worst economy in several generations doesn't mean that the town is in bad shape. If fact the majority of the town looks more similar to the Haddons or Collingswood. Perhaps you need to take a short drive off Broad St. to see... or better yet actually drive through Camden to see what dangerous and rundown really looks like.
no I didn't miss that, - agreed anarchists are bad news. Unions are a mixed bag, could be some positive by using influence. I think the most outrageous people that I saw were the Ron Paul supporters (strange bedfellows). BTW - it seems that none of them are pleased with Obama who surrounded his cabinet with industry insiders.
bridges01 - check out the Philly Rally if your around. I was in town and saw it. The "normals" or everyday working class folks outnumber the more flamboyant. The media purposely zeros in on the fringe protesters because it sells better. I noticed even the more liberal CNN always showed the same two kids in NYC dressed in their halloween best everytime they mentioned the story last week.
Barbaric! You people need a more constructive hobby.
BULL - this is the rare occasion of a Liberal sounding like a Tea Party rep; its not the community's responsibility to maintain a privately owned building, even if it has minor historical value. Granted Woodbury's past government has acted severely irresponsibly in the stewardship of the downtown. However, the wise choice presently is to document the past and forge ahead for the next century with quality retail and restaurants (like Marlene's and the Japanese Place) that will attract new patrons and encourage further progress.
The community worked hard to redevelop the Green building, but $10,000,000.00 in this economy based on a Arts related field in Gloucester county is not sound investment. 15 years ago maybe, but not now.
I hate tearing down buildings, but the Green is a corpse rotting in public view. Maybe you people should also protest the other half dozen buildings rotting away that city council is unwilling to declare a hazard and tear down.
I am Alarmed!
Josh your a moron with warped racial tendencies. The downtown is perfectly safe. Unless your afraid of some high school kids walking home from school or the odd so old men sitting on bench (or in their wheel chairs) passing the day away with nothing better to do. Get real man, you don't what dangerous is and it certainly isn't on Broad St.
Marlene's was awesome. Think Il Fioure in Collingswood and you'll kno what to expect. Oh Josh, and if your still scared - they have valet coming soon.
Sorry Scott, the building is a corpse with years of neglect and stupid decisions causing its current state. You want to save your legacy, start a non-profit and start ponying up!
Tear the Green down and start thinking about how we can build a new legacy for a new century.
.....and the city ward system in Woodbury is one of the primary reasons for why the "city" has fallen in decline. A borough system in Woodbury would better serve its small population of 10,000.
The community (Woodbury) reeps what we sow! Why should we hold this kid up to any higher standards than our other former criminal civic leaders and current dead weight in city government......
You beat me to it Mkoplow, except I would go further and place the illegal activity on youtube. Shame these parents into preventing their kids from becoming dangerous adult sociopaths.

OTTAWA, Canada—Shen Yun Performing Arts was a bright spot on another snowy Saturday afternoon in Ottawa for one music leader at several Ottawa chapels.
Patrick Roy, music director for several Catholic churches in the Ottawa area, including the Uplands military chapel, saw the show at the National Arts Centre for the fourth year running.
"I'm enjoying this. This is my fourth year coming back to Shen Yun and every year I learn a little bit more about Shen Yun, the musicalities behind it, and I'm loving it. It's great, as usual," he said.
New York-based Shen Yun has a unique philharmonic orchestra that includes such Chinese instruments as the erhu and the pipa. All music and lyrics are original compositions written by Shen Yun artists, according to the Shen Yun website.
"The music is fantastic, in a nutshell. The instrumentation—great. The harmonies are very well in sync with the choreography and the costumes of the beautiful dancers,' said Mr. Roy.
Shen Yun also includes vocal soloists, who, according to the website, use bel canto vocal technique while singing Chinese lyrics, which is not easily accomplished and is "unparalleled" in the music world today.
Although the songs are sung in Chinese, the lyrics are projected onto the backdrop in English, French, and Chinese to allow the diverse audience to understand the meaning of the songs.
"The soloist—you can tell she's classically trained, as well as the tenor; he just fills up the room. I enjoyed particularly the female soloist," Mr. Roy said.
Mr. Roy concluded with, "Shen Yun is fantastically great, and as we learned today, 'wo ai Shen Yun' means 'I love Shen Yun.'"
Reporting by NTD Television and Pam McLennan
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. Shen Yun's New York Company will be in Ottawa until Dec. 30 before going on to Montreal, Toronto, and other cities in eastern Canada.

In previous instalments the games were forced to alter official team and player names as these were exclusively licensed to competing titles.Referees and other match officials were also introduced to the game for the first time, alongside general 'wear and tear' effects on the players such as the accumulation of dirt on their clothing.

The One Last Hope to Save the CultureBy
I think we have, in our hands, an achievable way of changing America in a way that will seem as sudden and earth-shaking as the 1960s civil rights revolution or the 1989 anti-Communist revolution.
But first I think it's important to give some context. What needs to be saved about the American culture in the first place? The family.
A nation is only as strong as its foundation, and for a society, its foundation is the family: Children, mothers and fathers. But in America, all three are threatened as never before.
- We kill 1.6 million children a year by abortion.
- A child sex abuse scandal continues to spread across our public schools and other institutions while the media and courts refuse to give sustained attention to it anywhere except in the comparatively small abuse scandal in the Catholic Church.
- About 9 out of every 10 children 8-16 years old have viewed pornography online.
- In our hookup culture nearly 1 in 3 teens is having intercourse, mostly with people they don't consider their boyfriend or girlfriend.
- Women are routinely treated as objects of pleasure in our advertisements and entertainments — Beyonce at halftime at the Super Bowl, for example.
- Pornography is by far the biggest money-maker in the entertainment industry; polls say 2 out of every 3 young men you meet spend hours each week looking at it. This dramatically affects the way they treat women. Pornography is our culture's most common expression of the female.
- According to the U.S. Justice Department 1 in 3 adult women in America has been the victim of rape or physical assault at some point in her adulthood.
- Fathers abandoning their families is a national epidemic — their failure to help is the leading cause of poverty in women, and contributes to a whole host of problems, as James Dobson and Kurt Bruner point out in Fatherless.
- Men's entertainment — from rap to metal to video games – is filled with crassness, violence and misogyny. Whether it's hip hop culture or Oscar comedy, objectifying and demeaning women is mainstream
- Videogames have become the national pastime, for men especially. About 3 out of 4 gamers is 18 or older, spending an average 18 hours a week playing video games. Whether you think this makes men "shiftless, boring wimps" or contributes to violence, or not, it at least makes virtual violence the centerpiece of our culture's self-expression of masculinity.
So, with a tidal wave of anti-family sentiment that powerful, what could possible reverse the course? Only a sea change.
I argue over at the National Catholic Register ("The March for Life Lesson We Can't Afford to Ignore") that the significant victories we are experiencing in the right to life are capable of bringing about just such a sea change.
- Embracing the right to life will mean stopping the slaughter of infants.
- Embracing the right to life will pull the rug out from under the sexual revolution which has done so much damage to women.
- Embracing the right to life will mean forcing men to take responsibility for their actions once again.
Now, I know there are very good arguments for why my position may be wishful thinking, and expecting too much. They just may be right. A culture like ours, in which the basic fundamentals of family life have been so systematically destroyed, may be unfixable.
In that case, the consequences will be severe. God won't punish us in some mystical way. He won't have to. He will punish us the way he punishes gardeners who don't water their gardens.
- Our population will not replace itself, making our crushing debt crisis an imminent threat instead of a future worry.
- People who live sexualized childhoods will suffer in their self-esteem and their ability to form mature attachments, and their sexual maturity, worsening the cycle in the next generation.
- A nation of broken families will suffer economically, and a culture inordinately devoted to entertainment instead of self-mastery and value-production won't snap out of that quickly.
That's "the hard way" out of our mess: To be brought inch by inch to our low point until we look around, startled that we have gone from the world's only superpower that unfortunately scored poorly on math tests to a has-been nation that aborted its future but was too busy on our smart phones to notice that it was gone.
But we might not need to learn this one the hard way.
I remember saying at a party once, "I don't get why people don't wake up to reality and reject this stuff!"
To which a woman responded incredulously, "Tom, you and nearly every person in this room has done just that."
Indeed we have. And as we saw at the last March for Life, our numbers are growing every year.
I believe that if we focus on the right to life — if we focus on the "killing babies" plank of this twisted anti-family agenda — we can win this. Evil's greatest victory in our time is that parents are willing to kill their kids. But the greatest threat to evil in our time is that of course they won't keep doing that.
If we redouble the efforts we have made to compassionately and fearlessly defend life and help mothers, we absolutely can win this.

Tom, I have to differ with you….God does have a mystical solution! We faithful Catholics are missing the ultimate solution…provided by Our Lady of Fatima….The Five First Saturday of reparation!! Please use your platform to promote what God himself says is His Peace Plan!! Yes, and we have to keep up the rest of what we are in conscience, bound to do, to help bring about a Culture of Life.
Hello Tom,
Thank you for the encouraging words and insights. The strengthening of the family by God's natural and supernatural gifts are truly a great necessity for keeping families together, growing together in faith,hope and love. As a Catholic priest for almost 21 years I have seen some victories, but many efeats on the fronts you have described. I wish I could do more to bring my family, friends and parishioners closer to God in the Eucharitst but the 3 opponents to our ultimate salvation, the Devil, the world and the flesh, are legion. Yet, we are called to be faithful, not necessarily successful in the eyes of the world. I have learned time and again that my cooperation with God's will bears fruit, of which I see just a glimpse. God bless you and your family and this organization. Peace in Christ, Fr. Thomas McCabe.
many are called but few are chosen.

FSU defensive coordinator/defensive backs Mark Stoops, left, hugs his brother, Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, after a 2010 game. The Seminoles lost that game 47-17.
- Filed Under
This much was certain after Mark Stoops concluded his 25-minute news conference recently.
The Florida State defensive coordinator wants to be a head coach one day, but he's not going to take just any job.
"I'm in a great situation," said Stoops, who is considered a rising star in the profession. "I'm in a situation where it's one of the top coordinator jobs in the country. We have great players. Coach (Jimbo Fisher) has a fantastic structure. It gives me the ability to coach these guys and be successful. I mean, what else can you ask for? So it's a great situation here." ...

Late last week a friend posted his reaction to a mysterious video he called "Spankwire" on his Facebook page with simple instructions: "Never watch it." We heeded his warning, but others have not, and Spankwire reaction videos are popping up all over the web just like back in the "Two Girls One Cup" hey-day (don't watch that video either). Apparently the Spankwire video is horrible in that "doing awful things to one's genitals" sort of way. Google it at your own risk, but you've be warned – it is that bad.
Our favorite reaction thus far is that of our pals at Funny or Die. While four people watched the video, the rest of the staff observed their co-workers watching Spankwire, with some switching sides in the middle. Follow that? You can watch it in all it's adorable-awful glory above (language NSFW).

For my 25th birthday, I went on a trip to Paris. Yes, this makes me just about the luckiest girl there is and my experience in France was only confirmation of that fact. I fell in love with Paris- the food, the city, the people, the pastries! All of these were enough to make me consider packing my bags and staying for good....

Also fits the Vigor 2920
Reviewed by James Schlackman. Review Posted 19/11/2010
In case there was any doubt, this also fits the Drayteck Vigor 20290 series. Came complete with cage nuts as an added bonus. The router slots easily into the mount, but there are no screw holding it on, so you are reliant on gravity to hold the router in place - no mounting it upside down or sideways unless it was between other equipment. It does have a strain relief clip for the power cable. I give it a 5 for ease of use, but only a 3 for value as to be honest, it should be about £15-20 cheaper.
