|TRAFICANT, James A., Jr.,
Youngstown, Ohio – U.S. Rep. James A. Traficant, Jr. (D–OH) wants the Clinton Administration to do everything possible to help the city of Youngstown combat drug-related crime. In a letter sent yesterday to President Clinton, Traficant strongly endorsed a plea for federal assistance made last month by Youngstown Mayor George McKelvey (D). "The city is in the midst of a crisis," noted Traficant in his letter to the President. "Gang and drug-related violence continues to claim innocent lives. People are afraid to walk the streets."
Traficant noted that for the past several years there has been
a dramatic reduction in violent crime across the country. "Unfortunately,
Youngstown has not enjoyed the benefits of this national trend," observed
Traficant. "During your first campaign for the Presidency and throughout
your administration you have used the phrase 'we can't afford to leave
anyone behind.' Sadly, when it comes to the war on drugs, Youngstown
has been left behind. The city is making every effort to combat the
scourge of drugs and violent crime. But it simply doesn't have the
resources to get the job done. Your administration can make a difference."
Traficant strongly endorsed Mayor McKelvey's suggestion that the President send the head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, retired Army General Barry McCaffrey, to Youngstown to consult with local officials and provide recommendations on how the city can combat drug-related crime. "This is an excellent suggestion, and I urge you to do whatever it takes to facilitate such a visit in the near future," said Traficant.
Traficant expressed his appreciation to the President for working with him over the past several years to maximize the number of federal law enforcement grants awarded to the city. He urged the President to "take whatever executive action is necessary to ensure that Youngstown continues to receive the maximum level of federal law enforcement grants."
Traficant closed his letter by expressing the hope and expectation that the Clinton Administration will "respond in an expeditious and substantive fashion to Mayor McKelvey's sincere plea for assistance." Traficant offered to work with the administration in coordinating any federal response to the Mayor's request.2009

Cloud computing transforms IT operations
Cloud hosting services are changing the entire IT landscape and if companies want to remain relevant in today's highly competitive market, decision-makers need to address these transformations. To begin, businesses need to understand that the cloud reduces the amount of IT staff companies need and can completely reinvent operations, according to a TechTarget report.
By implementing public cloud services, businesses eliminate the need for IT experts to manage hosted environments. If companies deploy private clouds, on the other hand, organizations can ensure IT operations meet evolving demands, the news source reported.
Many organizations choose to utilize the public cloud because of its nearly endless supply of applications and resources that help them improve capacity planning, TechTarget noted.
"You can take more risks, be more creative and dynamic [in the cloud]," cloud expert Ian Rae said, according to the news provider. "You no longer have to over-invest in a project that doesn't end up doing very well."
Cloud servers are also very cost-effective, as the technology requires decision-makers to only pay for the capacity and resources they use, rather than coughing up expensive upfront fees. As a result, companies can use IT budgets more efficiently

Everyone Now Accounted For In Joplin, Officials Say
By Mark Memmott
There are now no names left in the "unaccounted for" column of the official list of those who were initially missing after the devastating tornado that swept through Joplin, Mo., on May 22.
And that report from the Missouri Department of Public Safety says the official "confirmed deceased" toll stands at 124.
Officials say this is the "final" such report they'll be issuing.

High quality, good basic 'cooking set' for recent college grad
Hi everyone,
So I just graduated college early and am moving into my first apt. I wanted to know any recommendations for high quality basic cookware set I can ask for Christmas - pans, sauce pans, stock pot, etc. It'll be a combo bday/xmas gift so I guess it can sort of pricey, but not too pricey, if you know what I mean. Figure I'd ask the serious eaters first!
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Coloring Book Teaches Kids Art of Killing Muslim Extremists
We Shall Never Forget 9/11 is a coloring book that Bell says is a "tool parents can use to help teach children about the facts surrounding 9/11." The book includes drawings of people mourning the attack of September 2001, as well as President Bush seated inside the Oval Office. Oh, and it also includes this image (right) of Navy SEALS assassinating Osama bin Laden.
Bell adds that "the book was created with honesty, integrity, reverence, respect and does not shy away from the truth."
Since the book's publication, Bell's company has put out a press release defending it as a "graphic novel coloring book" that should be used with parental guidance. "In this book you'll see what happens to a terrorist who orders others to bomb our peace loving wonderful nation," the press release reads.
Here's a video of Bell defending the book.
And here's a link to an interview Daily RFT conducted with an extremely testy Bell last year after his company published a Tea Party coloring book for kids.

Baseball: Lawley hits two home runs, drive in five runs as St. Lucie beat Tampa
Win puts Mets in tie for first in Florida State League South
PORT ST. LUCIE — Third baseman Dustin Lawley hit two home runs — his 22nd and 23rd of the season — and drove in five runs to lead the St. Lucie Mets to a 10-4 win over the Tampa Yankees Thursday at Tradition Field.
The Mets (556-46 overall, 21-16 in the second half) pounded out 11 hits. T.J. Rivera went 4-for-4 and Lucas Duda was 2-for-4 with a double. St. Lucie scored five runs in the first and tacked on three in the second and two more in the eighth.
Three Mets pitchers combined on 11 strike out. Starter Jon Niese gave up two hits and struck out four in four innings. The win went to reliever Hansel Robles (5-2), who gave up two earned runs on six hits in four innings. He also fanned four.
The Mets committed three errors that led to two earned runs.
The win vaulted the Mets back into a tie for first place in the Florida State League South with the Charlotte Stonecrabs.
The Yankees (46-59, 18-19) had eight hits, including a solo home run by Peter O'Brien.
Starting Friday, the Mets welcome the Clearwater Threshers to Tradition Field for a four-game home series. Friday's game starts at 6:30 p.m.
It's Fan-Tastic Friday at the ball play. The first 500 fans through the gate will receive a St. Lucie Mets giveaway item.

Hamilton's Bomb at Fenway
52 seconds is full of win. lulz when the guys on base look up and start their HR trot. unreal. even the bos guys are in awe.

who is boston going to pitch tonight if beckett gets into trouble?
atchison - 48 pitches - 4 innings
albers - 11 pitches - 1 inning
melancon - 26 pitches - didn't record an out (lololol)
thomas - 33 pitches - 1 inning
padilla - 20 pitches - 1 inning
alfredo acevis and franklin morales are the only two relief guys that didn't pitch yesterday.
beckett is on my fantasy team, but i'm sitting him tonight. i wouldn't start anybody facing the rangers right now.
So with the rotation being tweaked, Yu is going to start tomorrow, amirite?
That video is all kinds of win.
I'm pretty sure the Baseball Gods dusted off Mickey Mantle's mold when they created Josh. I can't think of any other player to compare him to when he's on.
In light of Hamilton's blast last night, interesting to look at where Williams' shot ended up (below, red seat below the "d" in Ford). Looks to be about 35 rows up.
Looking at the video, appears Hamilton's was about 20 +/- rows deep.

Melancon optioned today....lol
BOSTON -- When the Red Sox traded for Mark Melancon four months ago, they envisioned him as a possible ace setup man who could even serve as insurance at closer. Perhaps some of that will eventually come true, but the right-hander has hit a crisis point in his first couple of weeks of the season, and was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket before Wednesday night's game against the Rangers.
The Red Sox have summoned Japanese right-hander Junichi Tazawa from Pawtucket to take Melancon's spot on the roster.
Melancon was shelled by the Rangers on Tuesday, giving up four hits, six runs, two walks and three home runs while not retiring a batter.
The righty has pitched in four games and allowed at least one run in each of them, posting an ERA of 49.50 over two innings.
Last year, Melancon pitched in 71 games for the Astros, fashioning a 2.78 ERA while notching 20 saves.
Tazawa underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2010 and pitched most of last season in the Minors.
This year for Pawtucket, Tazawa didn't allow a run in his first four outings, walking two and striking out nine.
whatever row it landed on that blast was allsome.
we play at Fenway again in August during the week (mon-weds). they play a day/night game on tues/weds and i'm going to start watching flights to see if it makes sense to take the boy to 2 games at Fenway. fly up early tues, fly home late weds. it's on the bucket list, i'm thinking i have to do it.
is snyder a better 1b than moreland? if not, why the $#@! did wash do this?
Yep, Fenway is pretty special. Such a dinosaur, but so cool. One of my lasting memories from our trip is standing in the cramped concourse in line for a beer, and seeing extension cords running out of the concession stand, into the concourse, plugged randomly into outlets on the wall. You had to be careful not to trip over them.
PBS ran an excellent documentary on the stadium in late March:
Today has already been nearly the perfect sports day for me (still feeling that win from last night, and Chelsea over Barcelona 1-0), but I can't $#@!ing wait for the game tonight.
Only 2 more hours, hopefully I can make it.
Couple random notes...
The Miami Marlins have signed outfielder Michael Main to a minor-league contract.
That is the same Michael Main whom the Texas Rangers selected with the 24th overall choice in the 2007 draft as a pitcher.
The Rangers sent Main to San Francisco in 2010 as part of the trade that brought in veteran catcher Bengie Molina. The Giants released Main last month, at the end of spring training.
Main, an outstanding hitter at DeLand, Fla., High School, was 8-for-30 with six RBIs for the Rangers' club in the rookie-level Arizona League in 2007. Main, 23, will join the Marlins' extended-spring-training team.
The Rangers continue on a ratings rampage. Tuesday's batting practice against the Red Sox, an 18-3 rout, earned a 7.4for Fox Sports Southwest. That pushed the season average on FSSW to a 7.2 for eight games. That's 56 percent ahead of last year through eight games. And the 7.4 is the sixth highest Rangers rating on FSSW ever.

tonight sets up well: i just ordered a half off large pepperoni and sausage from pj and i have the house all to myself tonight for the first time in a year and a half so i can watch us beat up on the red sox in solitude.
....Rangers DH Michael Young said he felt the familiar twinge of pain in his lower back after his first at-bat Tuesday, but decided to soldier on. As the game progressed and his back didn't loosen up, the club was ready to pinch hit for him when his turn came up in the sixth inning.
Young, however, asked for one more at-bat.
He got a first pitch fastball straight down the middle at 89 mph, which he promptly deposited into the bullpen in right field.
"It was probably the perfect pitch for him to do something with," manager Ron Washington said. "That might have been the only thing he could turn around."
Young, who has never been on the DL in his career, acknowledged that the back issue has been an occasional problem. He also acknowledged his distaste for ever sitting down.
"But after 12 years, I'm finally listening to the training staff," he said. "I'm a little sore, but in all the times this has happened, it's always been a one or two day thing. By [Thursday] I should be ready to go. There just wasn't a need to push it. If I push it, it may end up being a 3-4 day thing. This is probably the wise move."
Young is being replaced at DH tonight by Mitch Moreland, while Brandon Snyder will play first base.
respect for face.
that video is great. so allsome that beltre went back-to-back. we got beltre, they got crawford ha ha.
But I'm about to get on the half-off PJ as well (thanks for pointing this out, Vic!), and I'll have the TV all to myself as well.
Here's to another great showing by the guys in red and blue.
For some reason I thought today was a day game. Makes this wait even longer.

Willcom D4 UMPC import on sale in US
Willcom's D4 UMPC might be rocking the smartphone look but its guts are pure PC. Running Vista on a 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor with 1GB of RAM, a 40GB hard-drive and 5-inch touchscreen, plenty of people were interested in the QWERTY-blessed device but Willcom are showing little interest in releasing it outside of Japan. In situations like these, if you've the money, imports are your only option, and GeekStuff4U have just thrown up a pre-order page for the D4 which suggests they could be in the US by June 20th.

Included in these are, but will kik messenger for pc free download be restricted to:

What are the apps that are similar out out there hay day hack download that attribute the same traits that are exact? What'll this application competitive edge be? After the aforementioned questions are answered by the programmer that is talented, they may then begin to envision the method by which the app will truly work. That assessment could not be further from the truth, though a number of people consider apps that are building is just analytical perform. This process must start with notion and ending with successful application.
+ simplicity + The many aesthetically-pleasing program lasts mere minutes in the marketplace if it's not simple to use. Now's buyers just would not have the patience for an app that demands set up time that is a lot of. Programs which might be intuitively designed are covered, and apps which might be hard to work out are immediately erased.
+ Genuine development + An Android application development learn that is expert that is gifted styles apps which are produced nicely. They are pleasing to the eye, function a genuine goal and satisfy consumer needs indirectly. What is more, the actual code is written flawlessly.

Lobos at NCAAs -- Cal State Fullerton Region
Friday: Lobos 9, Stanford 5; Minnesota 3, Cal Fullerton 1
Saturday: 9 p.m. (MT); Lobos vs Minnesota
Lobos Live On: 101.7 FM The TEAM, GameTracker, ESPNU
Richard Stevens -- Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
FULLERTON, Calif. -- The Stanford Cardinal probably are wishing the Lobos NCAA drought was 49 years instead of 48. On Saturday, the Lobos will be looking to make Minnesota unhappy to see "New Mexico" on the NCAA World Series bracket.
A handful of Cardinal pitchers found out pretty much what most pitching staffs find out about the Ray Birmingham Lobos. Eventually, these guys will mash you -- or simply find a way to get it done.
The Lobos found their way through four Cardinal pitchers in the top of the seventh inning to score four runs on two singles. The Cardinal-aided rally -- three walks and one Lobo hit-by-pitch -- pushed the Lobos up 7-4. UNM held on for a 9-5 win in a first-round NCAA game at the Cal State Fullerton Regional.
The big blow in the inning was a single by senior Chris Juarez that drove in Rafael Neda and Justin Howard. Both those Lobos reached base on walks. The Lobos' first score in that frame came when Cameron Smith scored on a sacrifice fly by Adam Courcha. Smith was on base after leading off the inning being hit by a pitch.
UNM's Daniel Gonzalez was the only Lobo in that inning who scored after reaching base on a hit. He was pushed across the plate when Ryan Honeycutt was walked with the bases loaded.
The Lobos advance to play Minnesota, a 3-1 upset winner over the Cal State Fullerton the No. 1 seed in this regional.
The Lobos and the Cardinal opened the game with some long-ball fireworks with UNM getting a solo shot in the first inning and Stanford getting two homers to go up 3-1. The game soon settled into more of a small-ball affair, marked by pitching mistakes. It was the Cardinal who made the mistakes on the mound.
This is something you don't want to do against a New Mexico team (38-20) that was one of the nation's top hitting teams in 2010.
UNM got a solid game from senior starter Willy Kesler, who gave up only four runs on 11 hits. The Cardinal staged several nice threats against Kesler, but failed to capitalize when the Lobo was in trouble.
Juarez led UNM at the plate going 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Neda went 1-of-2 scoring four runs and blasting a solo homer in the first. Willett went 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Jason Oatman came out of the bullpen to get the win, going 3.1 innings allowing one run on one hit.
The game featured a good start for the Lobos and a better start for the Cardinal. UNM cracked the scoreboard early when Neda pounded a homer to right field to hand the Lobos a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
The Cardinal also went long in the bottom of the first -- twice. Tyler Gaffney opened the NCAA postseason at the plate for Stanford with a solo shot. Ben Clowe made it 3-1 for the Cardinal with a two-run shot that pushed in Stephen Piscotty, who singled.
The Lobos staged a nice rally in the top of the fourth. Howard led off with a single and stole second. He was joined on the bases when Neda was hit by a pitch. Juarez pounded a double to score Howard and push Neda to third. Neda scored on a grounder to the right side by Max Willett. UNM's Smith struck out to end the threat, the rally and the inning.
The bottom of the fourth started out well for Stanford. The Cardinal got two runners on with no outs and used a sacrifice bunt to push those legs to second and third. Kesler then got Dave Giuliani to ground out to second and Gaffney followed with a fly ball to right.
The Lobos went down one-two-three in the fifth. Stanford was doing a good job of scratching out tiny threats in most innings. They did it again in the bottom of the fifth when Colin Walsh singled and stole second. He got company on the bases when Piscotty was hit by a pitch. A long fly pushed Walsh to third and he scored on a single by Kenny Diekroeger. The Lobos got a double play to get out of the jam.
The Lobos had a good chance to tie the score in the sixth. Honeycutt walked with two out and was pushed to second on a single by Juarez. Willett slapped another single into center field, but Honeycutt was gunned out at the plate trying to score from second.
Stanford scratched again in the bottom of the seventh. Cardinal Jake Schlander reached on a walk and a single by Gaffney and a passed ball put Cardinals on second and third with two outs. Stanford lost the opportunity to score when Walsh pushed a grounder to short.
It definitely was a game in which both teams scratched their way into scoring opportunities. The top of the seventh was UNM's turn. Smith reached first after getting hit by a pitch. Alex Allbritton bunted Smith to second and Gonzalez singled Smith to third base with one out. Stanford pulled Pries off the mound and brought in Danny Sandbrink.
Sandbrink lasted for three Lobos. He gave up a long fly into center field to Courcha which pushed Smith across the plate and formed a 4-all tie. Sandbrink then walked Howard and Neda to load the bases with two out. He was pulled for Scott Snodgress, who was facing Honeycutt with the bases loaded.
Four pitches later, Honeycutt was on first with a walk and Gonzalez was in the dugout with UNM up 5-4. The Lobos' Juarez then pushed UNM up three runs with single up the middle that scored Howard and Neda. UNM was up 7-4.
Stanford used a leadoff double and a single to cut UNM's lead to 7-5 in the bottom of the seventh.
The Cardinal continued to provide help for UNM in the ninth. Howard led off with a walk and scampered to second on a passed ball. Neda walked and then Stanford intentionally walked the red-hot Juarez to load the bases with one out. Willett then executed a beautiful safety squeeze that eventually hit the third-base bag to score Howard and keep the bases jammed. UNM was up 8-5.
The comedy of Cardinal errors only got worse. Allbritton was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Neda strolled home and UNM was up 9-5.
Beating Stanford's Pries was a major statement for the Lobos. The Cardinal came into the game with humble numbers and a 4-3 mound mark, but the Cardinal is considered to be one of the top arms in the Pac-10. He went into the ninth inning to post a win over No. 2 Arizona State and also threw a complete-game win over UCLA, snapping a 22-game win streak for the then-No. 2 Bruins.
Pries gave up five runs off seven hits in 6.1 innings against UNM.

A Day in October
With warmer than normal temperatures this time of year,rarely dropping below 68 degrees during the day since spring, it's no surprise to see happy impatiens and my Camellia Japonica budding.
I can see autumn toeing it's way in with the fading of some flowers,tree leaves starting to turn yellow, and our Douglas Fir producing hundreds of cones.
Funny,one reason I enjoy this time of year is because it's time for change, a rest from the heat and most of the chores of the growing season.
It's not hard to love gardening with all the rewards that it brings,but there is more than one season for most of us.
This coming season is one to relax,reflect and of course make plans for the new year.
Finally I'll be moving some plants,trying to get it right for next year and pulling out those annuals.
Time to mix things up just a little then give it a rest.
This is my one and only Hydrangea flower.
Impatiens that will be biting the dust. I have some all over the place.
A gazillion cones on the Douglas Fir.
I believe this is golden sage. I won't mention something I pulled out by mistake.
My favorite zinnia so far it's called "swizzle".
I yanked these out also.
Camellia Japonica may be in too much sun. I'll give it one more year.
The bees were upset when I pulled up these cosmos.
Dixieland maiden grass is now in a pot. Just don't know where to put it.
Persicaria microcephala(red dragon) got moved to the front.
Hydrangea blue wave lace cap found a new home.
Wouldn't bloom for 2 years where it was.
What starts out like this...
Winds up like this.This is one year of debris.
Not really what you would call a compost bin.
Last thing to do is plant a few mums. 4 for $10. sold !
Found a home for my Montauk daisies.
Finally a pleasant surprise.

Patsi .. you have been one busy gardener girl !ReplyDelete
Yes .. Autumn is usually the time I have to sort a few things out and make loads of notes on what I want to do next year .. we need that break or we wouldn't appreciate our gardens so much ?
You have some very nice plants here : )
I didn't plant a lot of annuals this year so I don't have as much cleanup. One huge morning glory. some cleome and of course the tomato vines--hate to see them go. The hydrangea photo is beautiful. It looks unusual--what kind is it?ReplyDelete
I think change is usually a good thing for gardeners. Most of my annuals are under labels 2008 Annuals from seed/garden mart.ReplyDelete
I believe it's Mophead.
You have been very busy! I hope your camellia will bloom for you. I don't have those here (deer again). CameronReplyDelete
Yes, even though I dread the thought of winter we do need a time to rest and reflect on next year's garden.ReplyDelete
Your hydrangea is gorgeous. I hope your blue lacecap blooms in its new location. My 2 Oak Hill hydrangeas hardly bloomed this summer. Wish I knew the secret to getting good blooms!
I've had terrible luck with impatiens for the past 3 years, which is disappointing, because I love them for shade.
There are so many lovely sage plants. I want to try more of them. Those silvery leaves are so pretty.
Your fresh veggies will taste good!
Great buy on the mums. I've missed out on buying some so far this fall, but there's still time to enjoy them inside.
If I ever have a big garden and tons of flowers and nice landscaping--it will be because I hired a gardener. I am honestly so overwhelmed by the amount of information a gardener has to know in order to have such a gorgeous garden. I have no idea how you green thumbs do it.ReplyDelete
The daisies look awesome, by the way. Of course, being the garden dummy that I am, that's about all I can truly appreciate!
I think I'd be in grieving for every plant I had to tear out even if I knew it was going to bite it anyway! I don't think I could do it! Yup, I'd have to hire someone to do it for me.
All in One Day? Whew! I know it's actually something that needs to be done... but tomorrow I MUST plant bulbs!! Sit down, put your feet up, and enjoy a nice cup of tea, chai, coffee, etc.! :-)ReplyDelete
That's a real autumn post - but the temperatures make it sound like summer still.ReplyDelete
Wow...what a colorful garden. That zinnia is so vibrant!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your visit and comment.
Glad to answer questions when I visit you...
Making life easier is a good thing.

A Going Church for a Coming Lord!
Bishop Lambert Wade Gates, Sr., was born October 31, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of eight children born to Leroy, Sr., and Elise Anna Wade Gates. When he was six months old his mother died, and from the age of two, was raised by his father and stepmother Minnie Gates. He credits his stepmother with keeping him in church as a youth and diligently instructing him in the ways of the Lord. His father, to him a "wise counselor and friend," instilled in him strong Christian values and the importance of being the best at whatever he would be in life. Educated in the Detroit Public School system, he graduated with honors at the age of 16 in 1975. He continued his education, attending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in 1980. Soon after, he began his professional career as a high school English teacher in Detroit.
Bishop Gates was baptized at age seven, and filled with the Holy Ghost on March 28, 1970, at the age of 11, at Clinton Street Greater Bethlehem Temple in Detroit. His ministerial career began in 1975 when he preached his first sermon, Great is Thy Faithfulness, in Ferndale, Michigan. He joined Apostolic Faith Temple (Now Greater Apostolic Faith Temple [GAFT]) in 1978, cultivating a close relationship with the pastor, Bishop Nemiah Smith, and serving in various positions. During this phase of his ministry he also became established as an evangelist. In 1984, upon becoming an ordained minister of the Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith (PCAF), he was appointed assistant pastor at GAFT. In August 1996, in acknowledgement of his ministerial achievements at the local and national levels, the PCAF appointed him to the office of bishop. He was consecrated a year later. As diocesan bishop of the 7th Episcopal District, he founded the Indiana State Conference, a ministry of training, evangelism, worship, and fellowship. Bishop Gates attained his highest office to date when he was consecrated as the assistant presiding bishop of the Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith at its 2008 national convention in Indianapolis.
On August 25, 1988, Bishop Gates was elected to the pastorate of Mt. Zion Apostolic Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, succeeding the late Bishop James O. Franklin. He was officially installed on December 11, 1988. In October 2007, he assumed full leadership of Greater Apostolic Faith Temple in Detroit when he was elected senior pastor following the death of his longtime friend and father in the gospel, Bishop Nemiah Smith. Described as a "prophet-sharing" program, his distinction as one pastor in two locations attests to the call on his life for expansive ministry. He believes in a holistic approach, structuring the ministries of each church to deal with the tripartite nature of man; that is, spirit, soul, and body. He is an outstanding teacher of the Word of God, and is a nationally known speaker whose ministry is in constant demand. He is seen internationally via Internet on Streaming Faith, and in the Detroit and Indianapolis areas on the jointly sponsored Victory through Praise telecast services. In addition, he is heard on radio stations in Detroit and Indianapolis.
Bishop Gates' personal interests include traveling, baseball, spending time with his sons, enjoying fine foods, and studying powerful books on leadership. He and his wife, Nancy Franklin Gates, reside in Fishers, Indiana. They are the parents of Lambert Wade, Jr., and Cameron David Gates.

Do you know exactly where you are going to be a year from now? How about two years from now?
If you think you know exactly what the future holds for you, you're wrong.
The truth is, you don't know what your work situation will be like in two years, or what your family situation will look like or even what kind of health you'll be in.
Scary isn't it?
If nothing else, the last few years have stripped away our illusions of certainty.
Companies are bought, sold and go under with little notice. Managers move in and out faster than flying tennis balls. And our personal lives are stitched together in a patchwork of fragile connections that can disintegrate in the face of death, disease or divorce.
Now for the good news: You can be productive, happy and successful today, even if you don't know for sure what's going to happen tomorrow.
During times of change, the people who get the most unraveled are the people who don't know how to function without having every detail buttoned up.
Perhaps you know a few: The manager who can't lead until they're 100 percent certain of the strategic plan, the spouse who can't make friends because they might be moving soon, the salesperson who can't make calls because they're paralyzed about a rumored merger.
It's a bit of a paradox. The secret to staying focused (and happy) during times of change is to have clear goals, yet remain flexible about the specifics.
Here are five tips for staying focused on the face of uncertainty:
1. Make peace with ambiguity
Plans are never going to be fully complete. New information will be revealed, new people will come into the mix, things will move forward and then they'll regress for a while. When you accept this as a given, you're less likely to be thrown off course by it.
2. Stay true to your purpose
This is particularly important for leaders, i.e. everyone. Help your team, at home or work, stay focused by continually reminding yourselves of your larger purpose. Whether it's raising future world leaders, helping your customers be more successful, or your guests enjoy themselves, staying true to your core purpose helps you get clarity. It's like a reset button for your brain. It keeps you focused and productive.
3. Make do with 80 percent
My dad always says, "Great leadership is the ability to make good decisions with incomplete information." Our forefathers founded a country on less than complete information. If you wait until you you're 100 percent certain of the details, you'll never accomplish anything big.
4. Set goals without attachments
Goals are what you want to accomplish. An attachment is when you're emotionally invested in having it play out a certain way. For example, your goal might be to grow your business or run a successful church auction. Put that on your white board or day planner. But don't be too attached to the details. Stay open to the idea that you'll make adjustments along the way.
5. Leave space for the fabulous
You know that old expression, sometimes God has a bigger plan for you than you had for yourself? Whether you're spiritual or not, we've all experienced situations where the universe sends you an unexpected gift. The future is always going to be unknown. That's what keeps it fabulous and interesting.

Amphorotia hispida is a freshwater diatom endemic to Lake Baikal in Russia.
Lake Baikal is the world's largest and oldest lake. The lake holds nearly 20 per cent of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water and has many endemic species - organisms not found anywhere else. A fact explained by the the age of the lake, at 20 to 30 million years old plants and animals have had plenty of time to evolve into new species.
Amphorotia hispida was only recently discovered and described by Museum scientists Dr David Williams and Dr Geraldine Reid. The scientists also discovered a new genus Amphorotia while studying diatom diversity in Lake Baikal.
Amphorotia hispida belongs to a genus, Amphorotia itself only recently discovered and described, which has an unusual distribution, many of its species in the Pacific, some extending as far south as the Mekon delta and, possibly, into marine waters.

Presidents, CFOs, and trustee finance committee members will not travel too far down any paths related to sustainability until their associated costs are identified and thoroughly assessed.
Unfortunately, these considerations often still take place within confusing, partially-informed situations on campuses. Budgeting strategically to accomplish multiyear sustainability objectives is among the most significant challenges for a leadership team. Optimally, there needs to be a budget process in place that can flexibly address key sustainability needs at any point in a fiscal year.
Despite a bleak budget year, the University of Illinois plans to award merit-based raises averaging 2.5 percent to faculty and staff this summer, though the money will be highly targeted. Money for the raises, roughly $29 million, comes from internal budget reallocations over the last two years and tuition income, administrators said Monday. The UI saw its state funding drop by $44.2 million, or about 6 percent, for fiscal 2013, which began July 1.

Overshadowed by fights over the state budget and the merger of state colleges late last month were two bills that could have their own broad effects on New Jersey's higher education system. Both seek to spur new construction on college campuses: one uses a privatization arrangement to encourage private organizations to pay for construction at public colleges; the other authorizes $750 million in bonds to pay for new buildings.
Helicopter parents, impatient trustees, overworked professors, entitled athletics boosters and deeply partisan lawmakers with little cash to spare. It's enough to make people wonder why anyone would want the job of college president.

The collapse of the House Republican leadership's "Plan B" legislation this evening is being viewed first and foremost as a humiliating defeat for Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor. The proposal was supposed to be a clever tactic that would increase the pressure on President Obama and the Democrats since it would, at least theoretically, take the GOP off the hook for the country going over the fiscal cliff in the absence of a deal with the White House on spending and taxes. But Boehner didn't have enough votes from his own caucus to back Plan B, even though it limited tax increases to those making over $1 million rather than the lower limits offered by the president in negotiations.
There are those who will argue that the collapse of Plan B will force Boehner back into negotiations with the president and create a situation where a grand budget deal would be possible. But the question that must be asked now is: if Boehner and Cantor could not whip up enough Republican votes for their own proposal, how is it possible that they could muster their support for an accord that would by definition be even less attractive to conservatives?
It is true that any deal struck between Boehner and Obama that would bridge the current gap between their positions on the budget would have considerable Democratic support and therefore enough votes to pass the House. But one has to ask how could Boehner's leadership of the Republicans be sustained if on the most important piece of legislation before the Congress he relied more on Democrats than members of his own caucus?
It should be stipulated that the concerns voiced by members about Plan B are far from irrational. There is no reason to think a tax increase on anyone will boost the economy. Nor will soaking millionaires do much to cut the deficit. Nothing, other than the liberal ideology of the Democrats, would lead the country to raise taxes at a time when the economy is in such a fragile state.
But a failure to reach a deal with the White House would be a far greater catastrophe for the country than those tax hikes. Doing so would mean an across-the-board tax increase for everyone and mandate spending cuts on defense that would be ruinous.
Conservatives have a point when they say they were sent to Washington to stand up for their party's principles, not to bow to liberal pressure. But it must also be understood that the people have spoken and, by electing a Republican House to govern alongside a Democrat Senate and president, have mandated that the two parties try to work together, no matter how much it bothers them.
Boehner seems to understand this, but the failure of his Plan B tactic demonstrates that such big picture thinking isn't acceptable to the mindset of enough House Republicans to enable the speaker to prevail. That leaves him caught between allowing the country to go over the fiscal cliff—which would be blamed more on Republicans than the president—and a deal that most Republicans won't buy. Either way, this is bad news for the speaker and the country's fiscal health.

the numbers in the NPR survey are so bad that Democrats might pause before becoming lemmings. There is something preposterous about how the administration and congressional Democrats have lost every major public argument that they should be winning.
He then lists some of them: the stimulus bill, the health-care bill, and the deficit. Dionne can't understand how "Republicans who have little to say about how to solve the nation's major problems are dominating the country's underlying philosophical narrative." After all, the problems plaguing America are because government has not been intrusive and active enough. Yet somehow, some way, "the GOP is managing to sell the idea that the big issue in this election should be — government spending."
To the modern liberal mind, this is utterly incomprehensible.
But there really isn't a mystery to all this. The public has now lived under the rule of the Democrats for 17 months. Voters have seen their philosophy up close and personal. They have seen the indiscipline, the profligacy, the misleading claims, the weakness abroad, and failure piling up upon failure. And they are utterly rejecting it, for a perfectly good reason: contemporary (as opposed to classical) liberalism is a deeply flawed philosophy that extracts a high human cost.
Yet this fact creates cognitive dissonance among some liberals. They ignore inconvenient facts and human experience. Their ideology is by definition right. So what liberals and Democrats need to do is to double down, to push for more government and higher spending. They need to take their terribly unpopular message and confidently repeat their talking points two dozen times a day instead of only a dozen times a day. That'll work.
Dionne ends his column by writing this:
Professor Obama and his allies ought to be ashamed of this. The cure for malaise, defined as "a sensation of exhaustion or inadequate energy to accomplish usual activities," is to have a self-confident sense of purpose, and to act boldly in its pursuit.
To which I would say two things: first, for the sake of conservatism and the GOP, I hope — nay, I pray — that Democrats follow E.J.'s advice. It would turn what looks to be a terrible election for Democrats into an epically bad one. And second, Professor Obama and his allies do have a lot to be ashamed of. But not doing more to push their pernicious agenda isn't one of them.

MADISON — This week, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is training prosecutors and law enforcement officers in vehicular homicide cases, using federal grant money awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Safety.
Working with the Wisconsin State Patrol's Technical Reconstruction Unit, the DOJ's Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Program will administer the two and a half day training September 14 through16, 2011, at the Comfort Inn & Suites in DeForest, WI.
"Vehicular fatality cases are complex in nature and require a great deal of coordination between prosecutors and officers," Van Hollen said, "This training will help to further develop the necessary skills and knowledge needed to investigate and prosecute vehicular homicide cases effectively."
Topics to be addressed include effective evidence gathering at the crash scene, crash investigation and reconstruction techniques, sentencing in vehicular crimes cases, effective scene clearance and management issues, alcohol and drug toxicology, and commercial motor vehicle crashes.
In addition to the general sessions, it is anticipated that there will be separate learning tracks for officers and prosecutors.

Comments about Smart Destinations Escape from the Rock - Blue & Gold Fleet:
We switched a cruise for the Alcatraz Tour. You have to buy your tickets through the offical Alcatraz website. Book your time to visit Alcatraz. Then, when you arrive in San Francisco, you can pick up your Go Card, turn in your printed Alcatraz tickets. When you return for departure to Alcatraz at Pier 41 they will give you your "real Alcatraz" tickets. It can be same day, next day. It is just used as one of the cruises on the Go San Francisco Card. Best time to go is 10:00. We were able to catch a Ranger tour into a building that isn't normally open to the public. Also, a former prisoner name William Bates was there signing his book. Weather was perfect. Crowds started spilling in during the afternoon.

When I think generic pop to compare the Rebecca Black song too, compare it to the Rebecca Black's of the past:
Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, New Kids on the Block, Menudo, The Partridge Family, Andy Gibb, Sonny and Cher. All that stuff was just as "manufactured" as today's pop music, involving fake instruments, or sessions guys hired to record stiff performances, with the idea to appeal to as many non-musicians as possible for the quick buck.
Fair point, DED, but Rebecca and her ilk represent the lowest common denominator. I don't think we can judge today's pop by that standard. I'm not fan of today's pop but that song of hers posted here was the pits.
Actually, I quite like those old Bee Gees tracks so go easy on the Gibbs :)
Bermuda ... of your collection, I have stuff by Faith No More, Fatboy Slim, Ella Fitzgerald, Fleetwood Mac, Four Tops, Peter Frampton, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Aretha Franklin, Free (not pop), Springsteen, Santana ...
Some of the pop in my collection includes Anastacia, Macy Gray, Supertramp (love 'em), The Cure, 10CC, Bryan Ferry, Chris Isaac, Coldplay, Frente, The Go Gos, The Carpenters, Kate Bush, Nellie Furtado, Pointer Sisters, Sade, Simply Red, The Killers and Wham!
Just cos I'm into King Crimson, Uncle Frank, Henry Cow, Mahavishnu, Weather Report, The Who and Led Zep doesn't disqualify me from also being crazy about good pop.
All I ask is that artists write and play music from the heart and go easy on the formulas, samey-ness and machines! Hopefully all this mechanised pap will go away, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon. We'll have to wait for Gen Z's kids to rebel and p
ss off their parents with "horrible" acoustic-sounding music :)

It's really fast and easy, it took me about 10minutes to make even with the beads refusing to be threaded on, so I hope you have a go :)
Step 1: What You Need
•alphabet beads. I got a packet for £1 from a craft shop so I don't think they're hard to find.
•jewellery endings. Not sure what they're called but those little metal things with a hook on the end. Also clasps and chain.
Step 2: Letters
Pick out the letters you need and lay them out like in the picture.
Step 3: Thread
Cut each one a bit longer than the last so that the shortest one is just long enough to go around your neck like a choker. (Don't worry if you want it longer, thats what the chain is for. This is just to give the option of having it shorter)
Put all of them in a metal end and close it.
Step 4: Words
I also decided to put a pale pink glass seed bead in between as a spacer bead because I thought it looked nicer, but this is optional.

Some readers over at the Official Nintendo Forums are claiming an interesting ability of the Wii: it has the capability of receiving Bluetooth signals from various devices, including cellular phones. Apparently, one is able to go right into the Photo Channel of the Wii and immediately access pictures from a nearby Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, with no hassle or setup, as long as an SD card is inserted into the system. This is an extremely convenient way to view pictures from a cell phone on a larger screen, and would be a welcome addition to the functionality of the Photo Channel.
With the Wii's apparent ability to receive and transmit Bluetooth to any generic device, might we see Bluetooth headset compatibility for voice chat in the future? Not having to buy a proprietary headset would be awesome, no?
[Update 1: Alas, this has been proven 100% false. Why are people such jerks?]
[Thanks, Nick!]
