With the exception of Peter, you how FAR from perfect human leaders are. Every one of these men except for Jesus, the God-man (and even He begged for another path when it came to the cross - dread is not failure), experienced massive failures in their walk with the LORD, YHWH. But God, the True, Living God, uses flawed people to lead flawed in such a way that it advanced and glorifies His perfect Kingdom. To GOD be the glory!
12 Most Inspiring Leadership Lessons from Bible Characters
The Bible has been around for thousands of years. Historically, it has been the cause of much good as well as the scapegoat for much dissension. Some have loved the book and some have hated it. When examined outside of its religious and historical context, though, and merely as a work of literature, few can say that it is anything less than a masterpiece.
The depth of character within the people of the Biblical stories is astounding. They faced great challenges and overcame them with faith and endurance. For leaders in business today, there is much to learn from these ordinary people who made decisions that transformed them into extraordinary legends. Organizational leadership is in dire need of that level of conviction and determination. The characters of the Bible can teach us a great deal.
1. Noah: Leaders do what's right even if they are alone
In Genesis 6, God is despairing over the wickedness that has overtaken humanity. Reluctantly, he decides to wipe out the human race and start from scratch. Noah, however, is the only one who has not been corrupted. You know the story. God tells him to build an ark that will save him, his family, and a whole host of animal life. As he is boarding the ark, God says to him, "for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time." Literally the whole world was doing what was wrong. But did that deter Noah from doing what was right? Not a chance!
2. Abraham: Leaders embrace the unknown
God approaches Abraham in Genesis 12 and tells him to "Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you." In other words, Abraham is instructed to leave his comfort zone and march onward into uncertainty. As business leaders, that's a hot topic: managing risk and uncertainty. Great leaders embrace that uncertainty, because they know the truth: the promised land awaits them on the other side.
3. Joseph: Leaders endure in spite of circumstances
The story of Joseph beginning in Genesis 37 is powerful. The guy had a pretty tough life. He was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. His father was told that he was killed by a wild animal. He was framed by his boss's wife because he refused to sleep with her and was thrown into prison. He interpreted the dream of a prisoner who was released and restored to his position, but the guy forgot about him. In the end, though, Joseph became the leader of all Egypt–second only to the Pharaoh himself. When there is a famine, he is then able to save his family from starvation. He tells his brothers when he sees them again that, though they meant harm, God orchestrated the events to put Joseph in a position to save them. Leaders have a vision that sustains them through difficult times.
4. Moses: Leaders stick up for their people
Yes, it's true. God has to be very convincing in order to get Moses to take action in Exodus 3. He at first gives excuse after excuse as to why he isn't the right guy for the job. When he finally does answer his calling, though, Charlton Heston–err, I mean Moses, approaches Pharaoh and boldly passes on the iconic message: "Let my people go." The Israelites, Moses' native people, had been enslaved by Egypt and Moses was the one enlisted to lead them to freedom. When the time came, Moses was willing to step up and lead.
5. Joshua: Leaders rule by example rather than command
In Joshua 24, after leading his people into a new land, Joshua offers the Israelites the option to either A) serve the God who they had always served, the one who had brought them into the land or B) serve the gods of the surrounding lands. "But as for me and my house," he says, "we will service the Lord." The people answer in unison that they will pledge their allegiance to God. Because they believe in Joshua's leadership, they follow Joshua's example. He doesn't have to threaten them; he merely inspires them by his example.
6. David: Leaders are not afraid of giants
Everybody knows this story. In 1 Samuel 17, the Israelites are being defeated by the Philistines and their 9-foot tall giant–Goliath. Goliath taunts the Israelites and challenges them to send him one man and, if that man should defeat him, the Philistines would become their servants. David, a small shepherd boy who will not even fit into the armor he is provided, volunteers. When Goliath mocks him, David says, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, whom you have taunted." With that, he takes a stone, slings it at Goliaths forehead, and knocks the giant to the ground–dead. In other words, you can face any challenge as long as you have conviction and strength of resolve on your side.
7. Isaiah: Leaders rise to the occasion
In a vision Isaiah has in Isaiah 6, God asks who he should send as a prophet to His people. Isaiah responds, "Here am I. Send me!" Leaders don't wait to see if anyone else is going to step up when something needs done. They take initiative. They are first to raise their hands. First to stand. First to speak up. First to make decisions. Leaders shun inaction and are always ready to take the plunge at a moment's notice.
8. Daniel: Leaders maintain their resolve without regard for consequences
Many of us know the story of Daniel in the lion's den. Daniel, in Daniel 6, is a highly esteemed government official whose colleagues become jealous. Seeking to get rid of him and knowing that he is a religious man, his colleagues convince the king to enact a decree saying that prayer can be made to no god except for the king. Once the decree is made, Daniel continues on praying and giving thanks to his God just like he always did. When he is caught, his colleagues tell their king and he is forced to throw Daniel into the den of lions. The next morning, the king finds Daniel alive. The lions had not harmed him. The point? Daniel's faith in his God is what made him great in first place. Knowing this, he would not recant regardless of what happened to him. Great leaders follow this example and maintain steadfast in their convictions regardless of what happens.
9. John the Baptist: Leaders aren't afraid to call out the phonies
John the Baptist, in Matthew 3, is baptizing people and preaching about the coming of Jesus. When a pretentious, self-righteous group of religious officials comes for baptism, he calls them out for what they are: "a brood of vipers." Leaders aren't afraid to call it like it is. Whether they are suppliers, employees, or even customers, leaders have what it takes to be brutally honest with the people they come in contact with.
10. Jesus: Leaders are servants
One of the most powerful images in the life of Jesus is when he washes his disciples' feet in John 13. When he is finished, he says to them, "You call me teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet." Jesus, of course, isn't talking about feet. He's talking about servant-leadership. Great leaders focus on serving those who follow them. Great leaders wash their people's feet.
11. Peter: Leaders recover from failure
Peter, the most well-known disciple of Jesus, denies even knowing Him three times while Jesus is being crucified. Jesus had predicted he would do it, though Peter insisted he would never deny Jesus–even to the death. When the rooster crows (what Jesus said would happen), Peter realizes what he had done and weeps bitterly. In Acts 2, we see Peter giving the first sermon after Jesus's ascension into heaven–to a crowd of thousands of people when he had previously denied Jesus in front of just a few days earlier. Leaders don't become discouraged when they fail. They don't wallow in self-pity and give up due to the mishap. They pick themselves back up and continue on. Leaders do better next time.
12. Paul: Leaders are passionate for what they believe in
Paul, throughout his life recorded in Acts, is a very zealous individual. As a Pharisee, he violently opposes the spread of Christianity, going out of his way to see Christians killed and imprisoned. When Jesus appears to him in Acts 9 and changes his mind, he becomes equally adamant about the truth of Christianity. Paul travels across all of the known world, spreading the message about Jesus and establishing churches everywhere he went. Leaders are driven by a sense of purpose. Leaders have a fire lit under them and feel compelled to accomplish their objectives. There is no place for apathy in the life of a leader. Leaders always care…and care deeply.
Have you had the opportunity to implement any of these leadership practices? What leadership qualities do you see in the characters of the Bible? What about from other works of literature? We'd love to hear your feedback!

Well done Doug! Long time ago I had done a gallery of bible women characters sermon pointing out our humanity and how we women were used supernaturally when yielding to our God. And yes everything in the Bibile points to Yeshua/Jesus and the true Bible leaders or characters with what it takes to be a leader if only in their own home, live out to these great truth of all.
Another point of interest: most of the christian characters nowadays in leadership position in the mission field are single women. You will see them, the ladies, in the mission field whereas not so much for lone christian males.
And yes the women were the first to announce and the first to know the facts about their faith and they had no tablets. Leaders are generally multitask but know to prioritize.
Again, well done Doug. Very didactic. Very inspiring, I can tell from my heart. Have a great day and May God continue to bless you as you write!
claudia miriam
I thank God for the wisdom and knowledge He gives to those who love Him. Your post has inspired me and I will use it as framework for a leadership seminar for christians leaders in the middleast. I thought of definitely adding women characters such as Ruth: Leaders make decisions even in the face of the unknown; leaders care. Deborah: leaders are courageous. Mary: leaders are ahead of their times; they have supernatural faith; they are obedient; they are ready to serve, they are humble.
God bless you!
claudia miriam miriamhaisraelhotmail.com
Thanks, friend. Someone beat you to the punch and made the same suggestion. I wrote a follow up on leadership lessons from women in the bible here: http://12most.com/2012/01/03/12-inspiring-leadership-lessons-women-bible/
This was an amazing resource for a Celebrate Recovery Leadership training I did last week. Thank you for the inspiration and the WELL worded short captions for each bible character.
Thank you Lord for Mr.Rice !
Wow, i really enjoyed reading this and your comments also. Clear and well thought. May God give you more and more wisdom and may you continue serving him. Merci!
awesome !!!the notes have inspired me...thanx
All thanks to you rice; your content here has made my work for a certain project easy. thanks to you.
thank you i'm looking for this kind of materials, thank you for such an effort to have this kind of studies in the great leaders of the past, they are worth to be followed. of course the great leader among the leaders from past up to the future is the Lord Jesus. thank you, well done short summary of great leaders
Hitler was a leader too. He was able to lead an entire country!
What a great idea to draw parallels between the Bible and business! This was so enjoyable for me to read. I've often thought to myself, even for those who embrace religion/faith, that the Bible is full of positive lessons, and positive thinking principles. You post brings that home for me!
Really great, comprehensive post. The lessons are certainly there to learn from. So excited for a Part 2 for this post!
Thanks for this!
Jesus did preach how one should behave as a leader. The ten commandments are the rules to live by.
Our male leaders today need reminder of how these men fo the bible were great leaders.
Interesting list, Doug. Just a note though. "Men" does not equal "people." "Men" + "women" equal "people." This is an all-male list and some of them are distinctly paternalistic (as is the Bible, if I remember my studies correctly). What does the Bible have to say about female leadership? As I remember, the women in the Bible are frequently those who tempt and betray these fine male leaders. I certainly never read the Bible for examples of how I should behave as a leader.
I'd have to go back and study again, but my main remembrance of women in the Bible is endurance under hardship and the potential mortal danger of not behaving in the way the male leadership insisted women should behave.
All of them.
St. Paul makes a beliver out of me. He endured a lot because of his great belief. St. Paul helps me to keep the faith no matter what I go through. He found a way to be always happy, give praise and be thankful no matter how bad things were for him.
Thank you for a great and inspiring post.
Wonderfully creative and inspiring, Doug. There is NO end to the learning we can get from The Bible and its amazing cast of characters!

Comments about South Shore Precious Collection Changing Table - Royal Cherry:
This changing table is VERY difficult/time-consuming to put together. It took my husband hours. That said, if the final product had been something lovely and good quality, we would not have minded.
Unfortunately, the table is much cheaper and less sturdy than we expected. The holes in the drawers were misplaced so that after my husband put it together, the top drawer and the large drawer on the right wouldn't close nicely next to each other (i.e., they hit each other). My husband had to drill new holes to make the thing work. Honestly, if my husband hadn't spent so many hours putting the darn thing together, we probably would have returned it.
Also, all of the pieces smelled VERY strongly of chemicals when they arrived. We kept the changing table out of our baby's room for a week to let it off-gas, and even after that it still stunk a bit. We didn't feel great about what our baby was probably inhaling from it when we changed him on it.

Public safety network put to the test at RNC in Tampa
Officers on the streets were able to use iPhones during the convention for encrypted voice and data and to stream video over a cellular network that was not available to the public
William Jackson
Government Computer News
TAMPA, Fla. — Police in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, used a first-of-its-kind LTE cellular network dedicated to law enforcement as part of security operations for the Republican National Convention in August.
The network was a demonstration project for the proposed National Public Safety Broadband Network, which would use the Long Term Evolution standard to provide interoperable voice, video and data communications for first responders.

I did not spend a moment today thinking about how to keep the black man down. Just another day.
I can't remember ever getting a memo about, or an invitation to a strategy meeting on keeping the corporation white.
So stop telling me everything is my fault.
Don't get me wrong. White people are great organizers. Look at all those St. Paddy's Day events we recently held. We just are not organizing against blacks.
I am very aware of how well thought-out the vicious racism of the past was and that it was organized by white people. Some of them were judges, and politicians and business leaders; the so-called respectable people of the community. I would apologize for that, but I wasn't there. That makes it no less a crime.
I am aware that racism still exists. It is a sad part of the human condition. But it is no longer institutional in America and to the extent it exists, it runs both ways.
But as we have heard over and over again lately from the pastor of an 8,000 member church, one of his 20-year parishioners who is running for president, and all of their media enablers, the problems in the black community today are still the fault of us white people. White guys in particular.
In the Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell quotes a spokeswoman for Rev. Wright, Iva Carruthers, commenting on Obama's speech. "The sad thing about this is, the people who really need to understand the message – white males – I don't know if it will have any effect."
Barack Obama calls for the white community to understand that "investing in the health, welfare and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper."
How much larger does he think America's investment in those areas can get? In real dollars education spending is multiples of what it was four decades ago and test scores have hardly changed. If we have failed perhaps it is time for less government, the prevailing failing authority. Let's call onto the carpet the people responsible. Is it those evil, suburban white guys again? Well, shame on them – no wait – it turns out that practically all of our big cities are run by liberal Democrats, many of them black. Education is dominated by a teachers union run by liberals, not white Republicans.
Why is Obama willing to let salvation lie in the hands of white people? Would he not be more useful preaching a message of black pride, black ability and self reliance, rather than one of waiting for someone else to love you and hoping, in vain, that the government will? If you think you will succeed, you probably will. If you think you will fail, you undoubtedly will.

CF A.J. Pollock was 10-for-25 in his first 11 spring games. "Numbers mean absolutely nothing to me right now," he said. "Just trying to work on stuff. Obviously, results are great. It doesn't translate. If there is something specific you are working on that gets you more comfortable for the season, that is the best thing to do right now."
LHP Wade Miley and RHP Brandon McCarthy are not expected to travel with the D-backs to Australia because they will not be used. "They don't have to do the travel and back," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We're just trying to prepare to win as many games as we can, and we figure that is the way to go." Miley was considered for a bullpen role, Gibson said, but the team thought better of it.
RHP Archie Bradley is making a strong push for a spot in the Arizona rotation after two scoreless spring training starts, and the Diamondbacks plan to give the 21-year-old right-hander another test in Australia.
LHP Patrick Corbin will throw the first pitch in the major leagues this season when he starts the D-backs' season-opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 22 in Australia, with RHP Trevor Cahill going the second game. Cahill was 14-8 with a 3.33 ERA and earned his first All-Star appearance last season after making the team as the fifth starter. "I'm going to approach it as another ballgame and try to do my best. Whether it is the first or whatever, that doesn't mean too much to me," Corbin said. "It's exciting the Diamondbacks are giving me the opportunity to start the first game. I think everybody wants to start the first game. It's an honor."
RHP Bronson Arroyo, scratched from a March 2 start because of a herniated disk, played long toss March 8 and March 9 and said the initial session "wasn't that good. It was too stiff for me to get after it." Arroyo is tentatively scheduled to throw a bullpen session March 12 and get into his second spring training game March 14. He believes he will be ready for the start of the U.S. regular season if he gets four more spring starts. Arroyo is not expected to travel with the team to Australia.
LHP Oliver Perez agreed a two-year, $4.25 contract with the Diamondbacks on March 7. He is expected to be the top left-hander out of the bullpen, but the D-backs had yet to acknowledge the deal is official, even though Perez had a locker in the clubhouse, wore No. 59 and threw a bullpen session at Salt River Fields on March 9.
RHP Brandon McCarthy and LHP Wade Miley are not expected to travel with the D-backs to Australia because they will not be used. "They don't have to do the travel and back," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We're just trying to prepare to win as many games as we can, and we figure that is the way to go." Miley was considered for a bullpen role, Gibson said, but the team thought better of it.
OF Cody Ross slid March 8 for the first time since suffering a fractured hip on Aug. 4, and he also hit and ran 90 at percent out of the batter's box in a camp game on March 9. "The thing I'll say about Cody, unlike other guys we've had come back from serious injuries, everything that he has done has been good," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's really had no setbacks. Every step of the way, it has all been great. When he slid yesterday, he just attacked it. No apprehension at all." Ross is likely to make his first spring appearance as a pinch hitter, Gibson said. The veteran is unlikely to play for Arizona during the Australia trip.

The King Must Die
In old age most people become to some extent caricatures of themselves.
Anthony Storr, "The Man,"
Churchill Revised
DEATH HAD ALWAYS BEEN a demographic possibility; now it was a personal reality and Henry was frightened. Age had been "coming fast on" and for almost a decade he had known that "time slippeth and flyeth marvellously away." Confronted with his own mortality, Henry Tudor sadly acknowledged that time "is of all losses the most irrecuperable, for it can never be redeemed with no manner [of] price nor prayer." 1 Twenty years before there had been no rush, and time had been told to stand still while Henry sought what he desired most--"heart's ease" and "quietness of mind" in the company of Anne Boleyn. 2 For that vision of connubial bliss he had risked losing paradise, only to discover that the gods had devised a worse punishment on earth: they had granted his wish and Anne had become his wife. Thirty-nine months and a revolution later, he had tried again with Mistress Jane Seymour, and this time the deities were more merciful. The King's third wife survived marriage by only 511 days; long enough to bear him a son, short enough to enshrine a memory which a sentimental old monarch took to his grave. Henry never forgot the mother of his only legitimate son. Twice, in 1539 and again in 1543, he paid nostalgic pilgrimages to the cramped medieval manor house of Wulfhall in Savernake Forest, where Sir John Seymour had served his daughter her betrothal feast, and in his will he ordered "the bones and body of our true and loving wife Queen Jane" to be added to his own in the tomb. 3
Thrice more the King had sought happiness and domestic peace in

Picture: Jude Law 'Vernon God Little' - gala performance at The Young Vic London, England - 10.05.07
The release of Jude Law's anticipated movie Alfie has been pushed back by two weeks to take it out of competition with Ben Affleck's film SURVIVING CHRISTMAS.
Bosses at Paramount Pictures have decided to move the remake of MICHAEL CAINE's 1966 film from 22 October (04) to 5 November (04) to avoid a crush of upcoming films targeted at females.
As well as avoiding Affleck's Surviving Christmas, the new date means Alfie will now no longer be up against Sarah Michelle Gellar's thriller THE GRUDGE.
I Heart Huckabees, which features Jude Law, has performed impressively with a limited release at a small number of theatres in America, prompting bosses to put it on wide release from 22 October (04).
Alfie will now be competing with animated movie The Incredibles.11/10/2004 21:16

I created a second partition on my Macbook Pro for a second operating system; howevr, now I would like to restore my Macbook back to using the whole disk for OS X (Mavericks).
I booted into Recovery Mode, and launched Disk Utility, but I cannot remove either partition, nor can I change the partition layout. Currently, the first partition is a blank Mac OS Extended (Journaled) filesystem, and the second partition is just "free space". I tried formatting it, but when I click apply, nothing happens. If I try to quit Disk Utility at this point, it tells me I have unsaved changes.
Can someone explain where I'm going wrong?

I'm shocked at the bad reviews for this product. Few people are more critical about hair products that I am and I absolutely love this stuff. A few years ago I gave up on styling products and threw out every styling product I had, which was a lot. My hair is medium length and fine. The top layer of my hair is straight, but the under layer is quite curly. I live in FL so my hair was usually a frizzy mess. I wanted it to be sleek and swingy but I was reluctant to use any straightening products for fear it would weigh my fine hair down. I decied to give this product a try and I'm thrilled. My hair is soft and swingy but not weighed down or sticky in the least.

Much to my surprise, this works really well. I had never really used Garnier products before (apart from some kind of mousse) but Wal-Mart had this deal where a ton of the Sleek & Shine products came in this zipper bag for $8 so I got it. My hair is naturally straight and fine but I am prone to getting little frizzies along my hairline and also at the very ends. This stops that from happening. It even kept my hair from getting horribly frizzy in the rain. My only complaint is that the fruity smell is a little too much for me. However, it's not a dealbreaker so I will repurchase this.

This is a pretty decent product. My hair goes crazy in humid heat and ends up looking nothing like how I styled it in the morning. With this, my hair doesn't get as messed up, but the humidity still gets to it. However, this does make my fried hair look a bit smoother, which I'm thankful for. And since my hair is so fried, it has lost it's weight. So it does add some weight to my hair, which I also like.

This was nothing but a big clumpy mess that left my hair dirty looking and slimy.It went back to the store.I have long thick hair and I only used about the size of a penny.This stuff was so sticky I couldn't even brush my hair.After styling my hair it left it feeling heavy

I'm very generally a LAZY hairstyler. Oh, I will curl my hair when I have the time (not often) and only make time for very special occasions (date night, family events, ect.), but for the most part I don't have time to blow dry my hair everyday.
I have a TON of long, fine, mostly straight hair that frizzes like you wouldn't believe if left to airdry, which is usually what happens. My friend calls it the "frizzfro". For those of you who read Harry Potter, imagine Hermione Granger hair.
First, apply it to towel-dried hair. Keep it away from the root, concentrating from the middle to the end of the hair length. My scalp gets greasy if I put it near the root. You don't need much product, a bean-sized glob is all you need.
Then you can use Fredderic Fekkai glossing cream near the root (not ON the root for heaven's sake) and at the tips for moisture, and let airdry.
voila, natural, sleek hair with no heat needed. (its better with heat, but can bear without)
please dont put this on dry hair though, it is much to creamy and greasy. use the fekkai glossing cream instead.

This is actually a pretty quality product for a drugstore item. I picked this up and tried it during some of the hottest and most humid days so far this summer. It worked decently (not as good as Nioxin Pure Shine Gel, which is my current fav). But I do like that this product can be used in a few different ways. You can put it on wet or damp hair to prevent frizz while drying. You can use a little on hair before blowdrying or flat ironing. Or you can use it as a finisher on dry hair to tame the frizzies that pop up during the day. It has the classic Garnier smell, which I happen to like. The price is right. This one is worth a try.

I have very, very long hair and this cream leaves my hair very soft and makes the waves in my hair pop. It helps control the frizz on the those hot sticky days and thats a plus with someone with very long hair. Love it, love the smell and yes I will buy again.

Let me start by saying..
LOL ok now on to the relevant stuff:
-- Smells great. All of this line's products smell wonderful including thei hair dye as an FYI.
-- Pretty inexpensive considering how little you use and compared to salon brands.
-- Makes hair silky not greasy and NOT sticky or stiff. I HATE HATE HAAAAAAAAAATE havign anything in my hair normally; even hate hair spray. UGH! I like my hair to feel silky and natural and this works wonders.
-- Makes heat styling easier; you can use before or after.
-- Nixs most frizz and flyaways (unless its REALLY humid and even then not bad at all!)
-- Adds shine.
Cons: Yet to find any for the product itself but many stores do not carry it and thats a pain in the behind. I get it at my local shop rite.
I've been using this product for two weeks now? It says NEW on the packaging so not sure if this is a new forumla but I hope they keep this for good!
I have naturally THICK and unruly hair about shoulder length; very wavy and frizzy (think Queen of all Bushwomen LOL) and with the rain NYC and NJ has been having for the past month I was looking FREAKY to say the least! But with this product WOW is all I can say.
I usually blow dry my hair completely dry and then take about a nickel sized amount, rub it between my hands, flip my head over and work it through my hair, back to front, ends to roots and then smooth it down on top. Then I give it a thorough brushing.
Let me tell you it works fantastically. Even with 100% humidity yesterday and on and off storms, my hair still looked really good. I should try and post a picture to show you. Even my husband commented on how well it held up considering the wrath of the elements. It gives a good STRONG hold but still feels soft and silky to the touch. A++ Garnier!
Lets see if this works..this was yesterday before I cut my hair. A little frizzy but I'd been up since 5am and this was after 7pm when I took this pic and in and out of thunderstorms so overall, not bad!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Tan, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I have extremely super naturally curly hair and this products works wonders for me!!!! No more frizzes in the summer at all and I use this in my hair straightening routine as well. So now I can have nice straight hair in the summer and it will not frizz up!!! This stuff is the bomb!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I've been using this product for over a year now, and I LOVE IT, haha. I have fine, relatively thick hair that comes down to my waist, and apply this after my shower every time! I usually take about a nickel sized amount, rub it between my hands, flip my head overand work it through my hair, back to front, ends to roots.
-- Smells great. I can't stand the scent of most products, but this is amazing. My one friend tried to get his girlfriend to switch to using this so she would smell like me, haha.
-- Relatively inexpensive.
-- Makes hair silky- not greasy.
-- Makes heat styling easier.
-- Nixs most frizz and flyaways.
-- Adds shine.
-- ........erm.....still trying to think of something, haha. Really the only thing is that it CAN make your hair a bit waxy-piecy if you apply too much, but then again, any product can do that, so it's a consumer problem, not the product.

LB Sleeper No More With Five Offers
Florence (SC) Spring is the time that SCVarsity.com begins releasing our "sleeper" talents for all to see. West Florence High School is home to several players who have gone virtually unnoticed heading into their senior season. LinebackerAvery Murray is one who is beginning to attract attention and has accumulated four offers, including one DI.
"Newbery, Coastal Carolina, Wofford, and the University of Buffalo have all offered Avery," said Knights' coach Trey Woodberry.
Murray (6-1, 210) is one of the leaders for the Knights' defense. He's got great speed (4.58) and ranks 124 in a class of 445.
He finished the 2007 season with 98 tackles, 3 sacks, and 2 interceptions. As a sophomore in 2006, he had 86 tackles, 4 sacks, and 1 interception.
Other schools showing interest are Furman, who is waiting on his SAT/ACT score, Maryland, MTSU, UNC, and Citadel.

It was an interesting baseball game, in that there were three key situations that may or may not have affected the outcome of the game.
***First, the Shane Victorino caught stealing in the ninth inning: It was Victorino's decision to go. The Phillies essentially give Rollins and Victorino a green light at all times. But a frustrated Charlie Manuel said afterward that the onus is on the runner to realize the situations when running is not prudent. With the tying run at the plate and no out in the ninth, that was the situation the Phillies were in. But Victorino ran on a 1-0 pitch to Matt Stairs and was gunned down.
"That was a mistake," said Manuel, who pulled Victorino aside in the dugout after the play. "We talk about our running game and things like that, but also you've got to know when to run. I can stop him, but at the same time, our baserunning, with the way we set it up, we like to think you won't make mistakes like that."
Victorino addressed reporters shortly after the clubhouse was opened to the media and issued a mea culpa.

Extremists vandalise old Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Suspected Jewish extremists scrawled anti-Arab graffiti on the headstones in an ancient Muslim cemetery in West Jerusalem, police and witnesses told AFP on Thursday.
The words "Price Tag" were also daubed in Hebrew on one of the 10 desecrated headstones, a slogan adopted by militant Jewish settlers who say they will exact retribution for any attempt by the Israeli government to curb settlement in the occupied West Bank, Reuters reported.
"Police are investigating and searching for suspects," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
An AFP correspondent at the scene said the vandals had also written "Mohammad is dead" and "Maale Rehavam" on the tombs some of which date back to the 12th century.
Price tag is a euphemism for hate crimes carried out by Israeli extremists which generally target Palestinians or Arabs and their property, according to AFP.
"Price Tag" attacks have targeted churches in Jerusalem and Palestinian mosques and homes and Israeli military installations in the West Bank, which with East Jerusalem is home to about 2.5 million Palestinians and half a million Jewish settlers, according to Reuters.
Such incident often take place in retaliation for Israeli government moves to dismantle unauthorised settler outposts, with Thursday's vandalism apparently linked to the removal of six caravans from the Maale Rehavam outpost in the southern West Bank a day earlier, AFP reported.
The move sparked angry protests by settlers and their supporters in and around Jerusalem.
There have been several attacks on Mamilla graveyard, known in Arabic as Ma'man Allah cemetery, which dates from the 12th century and is the resting place of several Sufi saints.
Descendants of those interred in the West Jerusalem cemetery say it also houses the remains of soldiers and officials of legendary Muslim ruler Saladin.

A U.N.-commissioned report says climate change is becoming a major obstacle for a 2004 global treaty aimed at cutting people's exposure to 21 highly dangerous chemicals.
The report obtained by The Associated Press says the risks of exposure could increase if more stockpiles and landfills leak due to flooding or other extreme weather linked to rising temperatures.
Donald Cooper, the U.N. treaty's executive secretary, says "significant climate-induced changes are foreseen in relation to future releases" of PCBs, dioxins and other persistent and toxic chemicals back into the environment -- and into people's bodies.
The report also says some of those most vulnerable people live in Arctic regions and places affected by malaria.

Determinants of contract duration in collective bargaining agreements
The author develops a model incorporating variables that previous studies have hypothesized as determinants of labor contract duration, then empirically tests the model using a data set containing bargaining pair-specific, industry-specific, and union-specific variables on 373 contracts signed over the period 1977-87. Three findings, all consistent with the model, are that the rate of wage change in a contract is positively related to the contract's duration; contracts containing cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) tend to be considerably longer in duration than contracts without COLAs; and over the period studied, there was a substantial increase in average contract duration, even with controls for many economic factors.

By Horacio Castellanos Moya
New Directions, $14.95, 190 pages
Familiar with the Cities of Asylum Project? Me neither, I'm ashamed to say, because it's a 22 year-old international organization that gives sanctuary to writers who have been exiled or fled in fear "under threat of death, imprisonment or persecution in their native countries." Today, its network numbers almost three dozen cities around the globe, four of which are in the United States — Pittsburgh; Ithaca, N.Y.; Las Vegas; and Santa Fe, N.M.
Horacio Castellanos Moya has been under the wing of the Project for a decade, first in Germany and since 2004 in Pittsburgh. Born in Honduras in 1957 but raised in El Salvador, Mr. Moya came to dangerous fame in 1997 with the publication of "Nausea," a novel that described the reactions of a Salvadoran immigrant who returns after almost two decades in North America. One commentator called its tone "a provocative example of critical cynicism," and indeed it must have been, for his accurate depiction of the growing political repression made him a marked man, and he had to split. But it was not the first time conditions in El Salvador had forced him to go.
"The first time I left was in 1979," he told an interviewer last year. "The Salvadorian Civil War had not started yet. The war really started at the end of the 1980s. It was not something that happened from one month to the next one. There was a long process of radicalization and street fighting. Some people think the civil war started when Archbishop Oscar Romero was killed in March 1980, but other people think the civil war started in January 1981 when the guerillas launched their first major offensive.
"I left at a moment in which there was not that level of armed struggle in the city, but there was a lot of repression against the mass movement by the military regime. Social arrests were getting much more violent."
After a year spent learning English in Canada, the writer went back "because I was homesick, and when I arrived it was terrible. After being out almost a year it was almost like coming to a different country. It's like if you would go back to Baghdad right now. My homesickness was completely destroyed, and I wanted to leave again — it was too polarized and too violent."
All of this build-up is necessary for a full appreciation of "The She-Devil in the Mirror," which Mr. Moya wrote in 2000 but which took until this year to be translated into English. Why is the build-up necessary? Because, as with several of his earlier novels, the atmosphere that caused Horacio Castellanos Moya to flee for his life provides the backdrop to the action of this one. "The She-Devil in the Mirror" may appear to be a traditional murder mystery but in fact it is one that faithfully reflects the extreme polarization and violence Mr. Moya cited as his reason for seeking asylum. Don't let the breezy, often funny and frequently irreverent tone fool you.
Here's a one-graph paraphrase of the first page or two: Olga Maria is dead, my dear. Shot through the head by an intruder in her boutique in the Villa Espanolas Mall. Such a tragedy, so beautiful, intelligent and pure she was, a mother of two little angels, and not yet 30 years old. My dear, Olga Maria was my best friend so I must tell you all about it.
That direct approach, which never shifts from the voice and viewpoint of its solo narrator, is not just how this intriguing novel opens, it is how it is told all the way through to the very end. There are separations for chapters, but there are no paragraphs, no space breaks, no nothin' as the voice of the indefatigable and highly opinionated and increasingly untrustworthy narrator rolls on and on.
In the beginning, the dead woman appears to have been a saint, so good and fine and lovely she was. Or so we are told. But suddenly, offhandedly, the narrator tells us of a recent affair the sainted Olga had with a handsome man, and then, just a few pages later, of her affair with a powerful man, and by the middle of the tale we know of at least three affairs. And that's not the final tally.
As he has done in other novels, the author builds a case for his tale-teller being more than a little bit paranoid, a condition caused by the degeneracy of her society — friends, the church, the government, the military. How can one stay sane, Moya seems to be asking, when all around one there is madness and evil?
But Horacio Moya knows better than to deliver his message that bluntly, so he salts the mine with large doses of humor, sex and sarcasm. No one is spared, least of all the dead woman and her self-proclaimed best friend. Upper class Salvadoran society takes it on the chin, over and over and over again.
It's probably a fair bet that the message of Mr. Moya's subsequent novels will be equally dark, reflecting the qualities in his work and personality that show his high regard for and sense of kinship with Arthur Koestler, Franz Kafka, Milan Kundera and Juan Carlos Onetti. But it's also a safe bet that he will never lose his saving grace, his wonderfully mordant sense of humor. How can you not enjoy reading a novelist so deft at juxtaposing two diametrically opposed images:
The narrator is telling her listener about a memory she had while following the hearse to the cemetary. "I'm going to join in behind Sergio and Cuca. Sergio's car is such a pretty color, I love that lilac; I wanted one that color but BMW doesn't make it, only Toyota, so I chose white because it goes with everything … I've had only BMW's for about twelve years now, ever since papa gave me my first car when I turned eighteen and entered the university. I remember celebrating with Olga Maria, a day that started out beautiful and ended so ugly …
"We went to the Zona Rosa to have a few beers and hang out with some friends. You won't believe it, but we'd just left Chili's, and we were walking to the corner where I'd left my car and suddenly there was a shoot-out. All Hell broke loose. A bunch of terrorists suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started shooting some gringos sitting on the terrace of the Mediterraneo Restaurant. You can't believe the panic. Everybody threw themselves on the ground and started shouting their heads off, because the shooting seemed to last forever. I tore my brand new blue jeans, right on the knee …"
The she-devil (in the mirror) is also in the details.

By ADRIAN JAWORT = For The Outpost
To the blacks, minorities and mixed-race people in the Not In Our Town audience – which numbered approximately 20 of the 50 or so people in attendance at the Downtown Montana State University Billings campus last week – the issue was not merely a typical, politically driven "liberal vs. conservative" issue. It was about how the top federal judge in Montana potentially feels about them personally.
Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull forwarded an email joke about President Obama – who has a white mother and black father – that stated, "A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?' His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"
Attendees were not naïve about the realities of tasteless jokes being passed around the internet, but Cebull's email began with, "Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine."
That struck a resounding nerve about what Cebull's true implications were to many of those in attendance.
NIOT Chairman Eran Thompson said that although the group wanted Cebull to resign, they also wanted to hear Cebull supporters' side, and hoped to come to a community understanding.
However, he admitted as a person of mixed-race with a black father and white mother like Obama, he took Cebull's email very personally.
"What I feel happened is, this judge called my mother a whore," Thompson said. "And he called me and my father an animal. This wasn't about the president, this wasn't about somebody's policies, this was about not liking someone because of the color of their skin, and making judgments based on that."
An emotional Thompson explained how his 13-year-old son asked about the Cebull incident after he saw it on the news, and how he had no answers to why Cebull was still in power if he held such views, and why he's gotten away with it.
The story initially broke after one of the recipients of the email forwarded it to the Great Falls Tribune in late February. The story has since made national news.
From a judicial standpoint, Thompson noted, "Now any person of color - or woman – that sits in front of that judge, that has a decision or punishment handed down, has immediate grounds for appeal. That's just going to waste us more money, time and energy."
Several former government employees pointed out if they had used their government computers or email addresses to convey any personal messages – not to mention "jokes about people of color" – it would be grounds for termination.
An anonymous letter from a federal employee was read aloud, and it noted that other federal employees have been fired for offenses similar to Cebull's email. The code for judges is even stricter.
"Federal judges are supposed to be seen as nonpartisan. Perception is everything. Judge Cebull has shattered the perception of an impartial, non-partisan judge," the letter said.
The Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees states: "A judicial employee should not engage in any activities that would put into question the propriety of the judicial employee's conduct in carrying out the duties of the office," and "A judicial employee should refrain from partisan political activity."
Although Cebull apologized and claimed his joke wasn't racially but politically motivated, a woman from Hardin who described herself as multi-racial said it was the statement before the joke that made Cebull's motives clear.
"He can apologize, he can say 'I'm sorry I sent this onward,' but he sent it onward because of what was in his 'heart.' And he insulted every female, and especially every female who would step out of her race and love someone of another race," she said.
Obama's mother died of ovarian cancer in 1994.
"It wasn't just that he's racist, he's anti-female," she said. "He said if she moves out of her race, her morality is worse than a dog's, because the jokes last words were, 'Be glad that you don't bark.'"
As a community volunteer who strives to make Billings a better place for her daughter and everyone else, NIOT vice chairman Crystal Rondeaux said she literally cried when the Cebull story broke.
"I find that so hurtful because it goes against everything I work for and everything I stand for," she said. "All the work that I do, all the people that I talk too, all the volunteering that I can do to make my community better, was just wiped away by his one joke," Rondeaux said. "It was just taken away from me, and I think the only honorable thing Cebull can do right now is resign."
Rondeaux is also a Crow tribal member, and Montana tribal members who commit alleged felonies often fall under Cebull's federal jurisdiction. The Crow Nation wants Cebull impeached, Rondeaux said, but she is reluctant to have Congress involved in judicial processes even though she also no longer has faith in Cebull's abilities to judge minorities or women.
The Rev. Steve Gordon of the Mayflower Congregational United Church of Christ was perplexed that in Montana's recent atmosphere, where a beloved teacher was killed in Sidney, where hate groups are surfacing – and a Ku Klux Klan affiliated group recently send a newsletter to Montana legislators who aim to "create a white homeland in the Northwest" – Cebull could be so insensitive and seemingly clueless about the implications of his email.
A black retired Navy man, Robert Brown, said he always bragged about being from Billings. He even carried around his birth certificate to show people who doubted there were even blacks from Montana. Brown said he was proud to have Montana values, where people were judged on their worth. With someone like Cebull representing Montana, he can't say that's true anymore.
There have been expressions of support for Cebull in letters to the editors of newspapers, internet comment sections - the Great Falls Tribune said in two days of an "unscientific vote" asking if Cebull should resign, some 42 percent of 1,200 voters said he shouldn't – and people contacting NIOT's Thompson saying they supported Cebull. But only two people expressed verbal support of Cebull keeping his job at the NIOT meeting.
One man noted that as a person of Irish descent, he's often heard jokes directed at him that he could've been offended by, but wasn't. Although he was sympathetic to claims of racism, he said Cebull apologized sincerely, and we should also note his work and overall record as a "good judge" before condemning him fully.
A woman said Cebull has been unfairly "crucified," noted whites have often been discriminated against, and mentioned that comedian Bill Maher has said just as offensive things about Sarah Palin.
However, the original joke the controversy stems from makes no mention of Obama. If the joke was left without his name attached, would defenders be so eager to claim that condemnation of Cebull's actions were politically motivated?
Robin Allen, a black pastor at Wayman's Chapel in Billings, is a newcomer to Billings. She said locals are pleasant for the most part, but noted about Cebull's indiscretion, "He doesn't even have to like Obama. That's a choice, and everyone has that choice. But to smear his name based on race and to think 'it's touching,' that is terrible."
About the whistleblower who sent the email to the Great Falls Tribune, the racially mixed woman from Hardin said, "They sent it on because they wanted the state of Montana to know, 'Look people, this is what your judicial system is looking like in 2012. It's up to you as citizens of the state of Montana to do something about it.' And this is why we're here: to do something about it."

In Focus: Redlining Inquiry in Ill. Likely to Repeat: Justice `Is Actively Pursuing' the Issue Again, a Lawyer Says
Garver, Rob, American Banker
An announcement last week that the Justice Department is investigating the lending patterns of a Chicago-area thrift has prompted speculation in the banking community that the long-dormant war on redlining has been renewed.
In a press release on Thursday, MAF Bancorp of Clarendon Hills, Ill., said that its principal subsidiary, Mid America Bank, was under scrutiny for making too few loans in census tracts with large minority populations. MAF's president, Kenneth Koranda, said Thursday that Justice officials had told the company that the decision to investigate was based on a "statistical analysis" of the thrift's lending patterns.
Andrew L. Sandler, a partner in the Washington office of Skadden, Arps, Slate Meagher & Flom, said that the Justice Department has opened at least one other inquiry into lending in minority-heavy communities that has not been made public yet.
"The Justice Department is actively pursuing the redlining theory again after having abandoned it for many years," he said. "They are focused both on residential and small-business lending and ... on developing these cases in cities that they believe to have highly segregated living patterns."
In several public appearances in the last year, Justice officials have indicated that the department is planning to increase its focus on housing issues. However, a Justice Department spokeswoman on Friday said that investigators were not making a "concentrated effort" to address redlining cases.
Many observers, including Robert Gnaizda, the policy director and general counsel for the San Francisco-based Greenlining Institute, said that a renewed focus on redlining would not shock them.
"The Bush administration is under tremendous pressure to address corporate responsibility and morality," Mr. Gnaizda said. "feel a pressure to examine the social consequences of corporate action," and "subprime lending and redlining are two important areas."
John P. Relman, the managing director of the Washington law firm Relman & Associates, said that the Bush administration had "deliberately put the brakes on fair-lending investigations" generated by the Justice Department's civil rights division.
