As we continue with our discussion of malignant narcissism, here is M Scott Peck again:
According to Peck an evil person[3][2]:
for the purposes of self deception as much as deception of others
The longer your relationship with a character disordered person, the odds are that you've even heard them scream or say sullenly 'I'm sorry', and more often than not, you were forced to accept that crumb as the end of the conversation.
Further pushing the issue will only inflame the narcissist. And you've certainly learned how unpleasant that can be.
But the 'apology' – for lack of a better word – leaves one feeling unsatisfied; you sense that he really isn't all that sorry, and doesn't truly understand how he has made you feel by his actions or words.
Because the narcissist isn't sorry, of course.
Unable or unwilling to alter his self-perception as above reproach, he's furious with you for noticing his narcissistic behavior, and for actually being rude enough to comment on it.
Instead, in order to bolster his superiority complex, you must become 'the bad guy'.
If you hadn't noticed what he had done or said, hadn't drawn attention to it, there would be no problem; e.g. the problem is all your fault.
Perhaps this logic makes sense to you, in a weird sort of way.
Perhaps it doesn't. If not, don't worry.
The world of malignant narcissism has no roots in logic - at least, not the kind that the rest of the world uses.
This tactic of shifting the focus of their ways on to you may work at times with humans, but it doesn't go over so well with God.
In Ezekiel 18:30, God says 'Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.' [italics mine]
Webster's dictionary defines 'repent' as:To feel pain, sorrow, or regret, for what one has done or omitted to do. To feel pain on account of, to remember with sorrow.
Webster's Dictionary
Did you also notice that God said 'every one according to his own ways'?
'Direction, manner, habit' are some of the definitions of this word 'ways', according to Strong's Concordance (#H1870).
Repent: shuwb (Strong's #H7725) To turn back.
Turn back from your ways. Feel sorrow or regret for your manner, your habits – that which is evil: causing pain; hurtful or unkind.
But malignant narcissism can't - or won't - repent.
First one has to be able to acknowledge that they have done evil – that they have sinned, 'gone their own way' – before they are able to turn back from their ways.
With the superiority complex – pride – whispering in the ear of malignant narcissism that he hasn't done anything wrong, how is it possible for him to regret?
Proverbs 14:8 says 'The wisdom of the prudent (wise or sensible) is to understand (consider, discern) his way (manner, direction, habit): but the folly of fools (dullard, simpleton, arrogant one) is deceit (treachery: from the root word ramah which means to beguile, deceive, mislead, deal treacherously).' KJV italics mine
But before we come to the obvious conclusion that malignant narcissism is, in fact, evil, please let's remember: we have all done evil.
Have we repented? Do we consider our ways?
Proverbs 14:16 says that 'a wise man feareth (reveres, afraid), and departeth (turns aside, rejects) from evil….' KJV italics mine.
It doesn't say that the wise man hasn't done evil; it says that he is skillful, prudent and wise if he turns aside from evil.
Peck makes the simple yet profound point that, although Jesus said in Luke 6:37, 'Stop judging others, and you will not be judged' (which many have used either to excuse their behavior when confronted, or as a cop-out to having to confront someone for a transgression) the thought continues in verse 42: 'First get rid of the log in your own eye; then perhaps you will see well enough…' NLT [italics mine]
The point? First we repent of our sins, then we will be able to see, and know what we are seeing.
See: ra'ah (Strong's #H7200) to see, perceive, learn about, observe, discern.
If we (continue to) repent, then we will discern and judge, as it says in 1 Corinthians 6:3 'Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life!' NKJV
Judge: krino (Strong's #G2919) to determine; pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong; condemn.
We will call malignant narcissism evil.
For every tree is known by his own fruit……and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil…..KJV Luke 6:44, 45
What do you think? Has M Scott Peck answered your question 'What is narcissism'?
In his pronouncement of malignant narcissism – the people of the lie – as 'evil', is he discerning the truth?
Let's look at some more of their fruits.
Next: narcissistic injury

I saw Denise's post about her first concert and it gave me an idea for this one!
Like Denise's father, I am a lover of live music. My son's first concert could have been any one of these three, depending on how you define it:
Rob Zombie: I saw him perform when I was about 4 months pregnant. I went with my best friend from high school, who was 3 months pregnant! I was just glad I couldn't do any damage in utero with all that head-banging.
Afro-Celt Soundsystem: First concert outside of the womb was an outdoor concert in a park featuring this Peter Gabriel produced band – it was a blast. We had a big blanket and a picnic lunch. My son was 9 months old.
The Beastie Boys: this was the first concert he was old enough to tell people he was going to (age 4). Still one of his favorite bands, we saw them at an outdoor amphitheater. Seats were scarce (since people showed up hours before to claim them) but a group of young people took pity and let us sit next to them. Favorite moment: one of the Beasties yelled "What's the time?" and both Sky and I shouted back "It's time to get ILL!"
Since then he's seen Michael Franti (twice), Owl City (photo is of him at the Fillmore in SF), and we're going to see Gorillaz next week. I love sharing live music with my little guy!
Now it's your turn: have you taken your child to a concert? Who did you see and how did it go?

Disease Progression
Common Questions About Barrett Esophagus - Article
ABSTRACT: Barrett esophagus is a precancerous metaplasia of the esophagus that is more common in patients with chronic reflux symptoms, although it also occurs in patients without symptomatic reflux. Other risk factors include smoking, male sex, obesity, white race, hiatal hernia, and increasing age (particularly older than 50 years). Although Barrett esophagus is a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, its management and the need for screening or surveillance endoscopy are debatable. The annual incidence of progression to esophageal cancer is 0.12% to 0.33%; progression is more common in patients with high-grade dysplasia and long-segment Barrett esophagus. Screening endoscopy should be considered for patients with multiple risk factors, and those who have lesions with high-grade dysplasia should undergo endoscopic mucosal resection or other endoscopic procedures to remove the lesions. Although the cost-effectiveness is questionable, patients with nondysplastic Barrett esophagus can be followed with endoscopic surveillance. Lowgrade dysplasia should be monitored or eradicated via endoscopy. Although there is no evidence that medical or surgical therapies to reduce acid reflux prevent neoplastic progression, proton pump inhibitors can be used to help control reflux symptoms.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Diagnosis and Management - Article
ABSTRACT: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis, affecting approximately 2% to 4% of adolescents. The incidence of scoliosis is about the same in males and females; however, females have up to a 10-fold greater risk of curve progression. Although most youths with scoliosis will not develop clinical symptoms, scoliosis can progress to rib deformity and respiratory compromise, and can cause significant cosmetic problems and emotional distress for some patients. For decades, scoliosis screenings were a routine part of school physical examinations in adolescents. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Academy of Family Physicians recommend against routine scoliosis screening in asymptomatic adolescents, concluding that harm from screening outweighs the benefit because screenings expose many low-risk adolescents to unnecessary radiographs and referrals. In contrast, the Scoliosis Research Society, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Academy of Pediatrics, and Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America suggest that the potential benefit of detecting scoliosis early justifies screening programs, but greater care should be used in deciding which patients with positive screening results need further evaluation. The goal for primary care physicians is to identify patients who are at risk of developing problems from scoliosis, without overtesting or overreferring patients who are unlikely to have further problems. Physical examination with the Adam's forward bend test and a scoliometer measurement can guide judicious use of radiologic testing for Cobb angle measurement and orthopedic referrals. Treatment options include observation, braces, and surgery.
Subacute to Chronic Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Article
ABSTRACT: Although a universally accepted definition is lacking, mild traumatic brain injury and concussion are classified by transient loss of consciousness, amnesia, altered mental status, a Glasgow Coma Score of 13 to 15, and focal neurologic deficits following an acute closed head injury. Most patients recover quickly, with a predictable clinical course of recovery within the first one to two weeks following traumatic brain injury. Persistent physical, cognitive, or behavioral postconcussive symptoms may be noted in 5 to 20 percent of persons who have mild traumatic brain injury. Physical symptoms include headaches, dizziness, and nausea, and changes in coordination, balance, appetite, sleep, vision, and hearing. Cognitive and behavioral symptoms include fatigue, anxiety, depression, and irritability, and problems with memory, concentration and decision making. Women, older adults, less educated persons, and those with a previous mental health diagnosis are more likely to have persistent symptoms. The diagnostic workup for subacute to chronic mild traumatic brain injury focuses on the history and physical examination, with continuing observation for the development of red flags such as the progression of physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms, seizure, progressive vomiting, and altered mental status. Early patient and family education should include information on diagnosis and prognosis, symptoms, and further injury prevention. Symptom-specific treatment, gradual return to activity, and multidisciplinary coordination of care lead to the best outcomes. Psychiatric and medical comorbidities, psychosocial issues, and legal or compensatory incentives should be explored in patients resistant to treatment.
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease - Article
ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney disease. Enlarging cysts within the kidneys are the clinical hallmark of the disease. Renal manifestations include varying degrees of kidney injury, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and hematuria. Extrarenal manifestations can include pain, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, hepatic cysts, intracranial aneurysm, diverticulosis, and abdominal and inguinal hernias. The progression of ADPKD cannot be reversed with current treatment modalities; therefore, therapies target the resulting clinical manifestations. Early detection and management of hypertension are important to delay the progression of renal dysfunction and development of cardiovascular complications. Pain management includes evaluation of concomitant illnesses, use of analgesics, and adjuvant therapy. Fluoroquinolones may be the most useful class of antibiotics for the treatment of urinary tract infections because of their lipophilic properties and bactericidal action against gram-negative pathogens. Nephrolithiasis is twice as common in persons with ADPKD compared with the general population and is suggested by flank pain with or without hematuria. Cystic hemorrhages usually resolve within one week, although microscopic hematuria may still be present. Because of the proliferative effect of estrogen on hepatic cysts, oral contraceptives containing estrogen and menopausal estrogen therapy should be administered at the lowest effective dose or avoided in patients with ADPKD. Intracranial aneurysms are at least twice as common in patients with ADPKD than in the general population. Renal ultrasonography is the diagnostic modality of choice to screen at-risk individuals for ADPKD.

Fidel Garcia was sentenced to seven years in prison Wednesday for killing 31-year-old Elizabeth Marshall in a hit-and-run accident last year.
Garcia took off from the scene after striking Marshall with his vehicle on the 2100 block of E. Platte in Colorado Springs on June 19 of last year.
According to court papers, police used surveillance video from a nearby motel to determine what kind of vehicle struck the victim. They also collected pieces of the car at the crime scene. The court papers then go on to say that a local attorney called police and gave them an address where the car was parked in a garage. That led detectives to Garcia.
Garcia later turned himself in.

Abolish the Fat Tax!
It's time to shut up about "the cost of obesity."
Read William Saletan's "Human Nature" column on obesity and genetics.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may differ (slightly) on health-care policy reform, but at least they agree on how to pay for it. At a December debate in Iowa, Obama announced that "if we went back to the obesity rates that existed in 1980, that would save the Medicare system a trillion dollars." We might chalk this up as mere Obambast, another of the Senator's blowy promises. But Clinton mirrors the claim on her own Web site: "Medicare could save over a trillion dollars over 25 years if obesity among seniors could be returned to levels in the 1980s."
Some fact checking revealed that their numbers (apparently taken from this RAND Corporation study) were a bit off. According to Eric Finkelstein, a widely cited authority on the economic cost of obesity, they should have said the savings would be $200 billion. One of his own studies claims that Medicare and Medicaid lay out an additional $39 billion of taxpayer money every year for obesity-related diseases. This figure—which translates to $175 for each of us, enough to buy a très petit iPod Nano—has led lawmakers to view fat people as a cash cow. If we rein in those profligate heavyweights, the thinking goes, we'll save billions in taxpayer money. A Mississippi lawmaker cited the financial strain on the state's Medicaid program when he proposed a bill making it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers. After Gov. Schwarzenegger's recent claim that obesity costs California $28.5 billion per year, politicians have tried to force restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus.
But a pair of new epidemiological studies reveals that these attempts to wring money out of the obese are misleading and misguided. Worse, the obesity cost estimates used to justify them are a danger to public health.
The first paper, published by a Dutch team in the journal PLoS Medicine, challenges the basic assumption that fat people are more expensive to treat. It's true that if you compare two people of the same age and wealth, one slim and the other obese, you can expect the fatter one to have more chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. The fatter patient will also make more visits to the doctor, buy more prescription drugs, and otherwise ring up higher medical bills in a given year.
But this analytical approach—used routinely by Finkelstein and other obesity number crunchers—ignores one important fact: Obese people have shorter life spans. Since the elderly are by far the costliest patients, it's possible that early deaths save taxpayers money in the long run. In fact, fatal diseases almost always return net-cost savings to public health care. Smoking, which causes a host of particularly deadly conditions, turns out to be especially cheap—which is to say, government attempts to curb nicotine addiction have actually cost the United States money. (Niggling mental disorders and musculoskeletal diseases tend to be more expensive.)
That's how the numbers played out in the Dutch study. If we somehow figured out a way to "cure" obesity—with a pill, an injection, or a law like the one they're proposing in Mississippi—we'd increase the burden on taxpayers. More people would make it to old age, hastening the Social Security crisis and pushing up the costs of Medicaid. Indeed, the analysis in PLoS Medicine revealed that lifetime health expenditures were highest for healthy-living people of optimum weight.
This finding has sent some anti-fat crusaders into retreat. Neville Rigby of the United Nations' International Obesity Taskforce has now admitted to the Associated Press that "the benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost savings." He had a different take in 2004, when he wrote in USA Today that "obesity costs the U.S. $125 billion a year in health and other bills that it can ill-afford. … [T]he result is higher taxes and health bills and an economy that suffers."
But the health economists are undeterred. The PLoS paper looks only at the direct costs of obesity—i.e., the amount spent on specific medical treatments. That leaves out a huge volume of indirect costs to society—unemployment, missed days of work, and lowered on-the-job productivity. According to Finkelstein, these losses add up to more than $40 billion a year: One-third of that comes from absenteeism (people are too sick or lethargic to come to work) and the remainder from something called "presenteeism" (people at work are too fat to get anything done). Finkelstein's firm, RTI International, has even designed a downloadable Obesity Cost Calculator to help business owners figure out how much money they're losing to lard-butt staffers. (RTI also happens to serve a client list that includes some of the biggest names in the weight-loss industry.) Other economists have framed the issue in terms of trendy issues like global warming or the energy crisis. (Click here for more.)
Meanwhile, a plague of ridiculous productivity-cost estimates in other spheres diminishes the obesity sticker shock. If we believe that extra pounds result in $40 billion of lost business, what are we to make of the claim that negativity in the workplace costs a whopping $350 billion? Spam e-mails eat away another $20 billion, and even the NCAA college basketball tournament costs us $3.8 billion. With all these other numbers floating around, the cost of obesity loses all meaning.

February 2011
During the 2008 campaign, a coalition of AIDS service organizations and advocates called upon all candidates for the Presidency to develop a National HIV/AIDS Strategy to address serious gaps in progress against HIV/AIDS. As a candidate, the future President Obama pledged that his administration would develop a Strategy and, since his election, the White House has actively solicited advice from people living with HIV and community groups on what should be contained in the Strategy. Project Inform has served as a member of the Steering Committee of the Coalition for a National AIDS Strategy and has provided significant advice as to what we believe this much needed document should contain.
In December 2009, Project Inform and the Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project co-hosted a meeting of leading HIV experts who recommended that the Strategy include an initiative called Testing & Linkage to Care Plus (TLC+). TLC+ proposes that by greatly increasing HIV testing nationally and quickly linking newly diagnosed HIV-positive people to primary medical care, social services, prevention counseling, plus treatment, the U.S. could greatly increase the percentage of HIV-positive people adhering to care and treatment, improve their heath outcomes, prevent new infections, and reduce health disparities suffered by women and people of color.
On July 13, President Barack Obama released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and warmly welcomed HIV advocates to a White House reception to mark this important development in the epidemic. Project Inform was honored to be in attendance at that historic event. The Strategy was prepared in close coordination between the President's Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) and an Inter-Agency Work Group made up representatives of all Federal agencies involved in the nation's response to HIV/AIDS. It was reviewed before being released by the President's Advisory Committee on HIV/AIDS (PACHA), which includes people living with HIV and representatives of AIDS service organizations.
The Strategy is almost entirely what Project Inform hoped for. It sets assertive but achievable goals for improving the health of HIV-positive people and reducing new infections. It is deliberately and thoughtfully focused on a limited set of goals and activities that are most likely to have significant impact on the epidemic. ONAP, the Inter-Agency Work Group and PACHA deserve enormous credit both for the plan itself and the inclusive process used to develop it. Project Inform's summary of the Strategy can be seen here. President Obama's remarks about its release are available at AIDS.gov.
First and foremost, the Strategy takes a well-reasoned and thoughtful public health approach previously missing in the epidemic. HIV treatment has historically been focused on improving the health of the individual, as well it should be. However, just as TLC+ does, the Strategy is focused on making certain that more HIV-positive people know their status and are linked quickly to care and social services that will prepare them to take HIV medications early in infection and remain adherent to treatment. It asserts that doing so will help to meet the important goals of increasing the percentage of HIV-positive individuals engaged in care and treatment that prolongs and improves quality of life, as well as reducing new HIV infections. The Strategy also makes clear that effective HIV prevention requires combining different proven methods, including promotion of condoms, availability of sterile syringes for injection drug users and supporting HIV-positive people to avoid transmitting the virus to others.
With regard to prevention, the Strategy courageously promotes two additional actions. First, it asserts that the focus of prevention programs and funding should be on those geographic areas and risk groups that are actually suffering the greatest burden of new infections. Those include urban areas and gay and bisexual men, particularly gay and bisexual men of color, transgenders and injections drug users. It notes that most, though certainly not all, HIV cases among people of color occur in gay and bisexual men. Second, the Strategy supports the development of prevention interventions that are likely to have community-wide impact, not just individual impact.
While both the HIV care and prevention provisions of the Strategy have a decidedly medical focus, the document correctly asserts that successfully engaging HIV-positive people in care and treatment, as well as preventing HIV, requires an increased focus on the enormous needs of people living with and at high risk for HIV for basic social services including housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment. It also asserts the importance of reducing stigma and discrimination against people with and at risk for HIV -- including among medical providers -- in order to increase chances that individuals will obtain HIV testing, medical care and treatment.
Importantly, the Strategy contains a discussion about the need for much greater coordination of the work of Federal agencies involved in the nation's response to HIV/AIDS, and for improved coordination and streamlining of programs among Federal, State and local government agencies. The President has directed the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS) to coordinate the efforts not just of the many agencies involved in HIV/AIDS within HHS, but of all Federal agencies.
The document does not discuss financing of new directions in the fight against HIV at great length, a point that many HIV advocates have noted with concern. It correctly argues for the more effective use of existing funding, particularly for HIV prevention programs. It notes that recently adopted national health care reform will provide the means by which most HIV-positive Americans will be able to access primary medical care and treatment. And it asserts that the Ryan White Program, which currently provides over $2 billion in Federal funding for care, treatment and social services programs for people with HIV, needs to extended and reconfigured to support this new direction in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It does not, however, commit to whether all of those $2 billion should be preserved.
Project Inform agrees with all of these points regarding financing of HIV/AIDS services. But we believe that all of the $2 billion appropriated to the Ryan White Program -- and perhaps more -- will need to be appropriated to fill in for gaps in health care reform and assure the level of social services and linkage of HIV-positive people to care and treatment that are called for in the Strategy. We also believe that HIV research, particularly cure-related research at the National Institutes of Health, and HIV prevention programs of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), will need funding increases in coming years. And we are alarmed that the Obama administration and the Congress are currently placing insufficient funding into the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) as a bridge to health care reform, which is to be fully implemented in 2014.
An otherwise visionary and thorough document, the Strategy's main weakness appears to be in the area of expanded HIV testing. This is particularly disappointing in that the fundamental goal of increasing participation in care and treatment is predicated on greater awareness of HIV status. The CDC has previously been cited as making some progress on its goal of assuring that all Americans aged 13 to 64 know their HIV status, but inadequate progress. And while the Strategy does encourage greater cooperation from major national medical groups in assuring that medical providers routinely offer testing to their patients, it does little else to make clear how the nation will increase the percentage of HIV-positive Americans who know their serostatus. Project Inform will press to assure that the detailed implementation plan that is to follow the release of the Strategy by December 13, 2010 corrects this problem.
This is an extremely encouraging and opportune time in the domestic fight against HIV and AIDS. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy sets the proper course for improving the health of HIV-positive individuals, reducing new HIV infections, and reducing great disparities in the HIV health now experienced by women and people of color. National health care reform will greatly help us to assure access to care and treatment for most, though not all people living with HIV. The current arsenal of HIV medications, while not perfect, is capable of greatly prolonging the length and quality of life of HIV-positive people when taken early in infection and preventing new infections. It is vital that the nation seize on this set of advances and fund them adequately in order to achieve the vision of President Obama's Strategy: that "The U.S. will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination."
Project Inform is proud to have played a part in the development of the Strategy and will remain heavily engaged both in informing the details of its implementation and monitoring its results. We will regularly update our constituents about progress in this regard.

With the introduction of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette due on Jan. 13 in Detroit, General Motors has launched the long, slow striptease with a reveal of the Vette's heart -- an all-new V-8 that straddles the line between tradition and technology to deliver 450 hp, 26 mpg on the highway and a sprint to 60 mph in less than four seconds. Not bad for a type of engine that's supposed to be on the endangered list.
Given the pressures on the Corvette team -- charged with redesigning the car for only the seventh time since 1955, and facing more challenges than ever before in fuel efficiency -- the Corvette engineers stuck with the venerated design of a pushrod V-8, even reviving the LT1 engine code used on Chevy V-8s in the 1970s and again in the 1990s.
But the 6.2-liter (or 378 cubic inches, for the traditionalists) engine isn't some throwback; upgrades from the current design include direct injection, variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation, with four of the eight pistons squeezing just air at highway speeds. The new engine makes 20 more hp than the 6.2-liter in the outgoing Vette, but also produces 450 lb.-ft. of torque in a curve that matches well with the bigger 7-liter V-8 in the Corvette Z06. GM also says the new V-8 will take regular unleaded, rather than requiring premium as many high-performance engines do.
Eventually versions of this V-8 will see duty in GM's pickups and SUVs, and given that its performance makes the new base Corvette nearly as fast as today's top-end Z06, expect even higher-output versions to follow within a few years -- or as long as the engineers can keep the fuel economy rules from turning V-8s into museum pieces.

Report: IDF fire kills Palestinian in Gaza
Elior Levy
1. Perpetual war
The perpetual war theory of history based on Evolutionary Principles and ancient Jewish Beliefs is obvious and only fear and catastrophic Detrrance protect the Jewish people.The Galus won't escape and neither the rest of the universe.Catastrophic Deterrant Capacity keeps the world bad as it is Somewhat less Bad.
2. More publicity for the Pals!!!
The arabs sure know how to read the World...a World that doesn't give a hang about human life (all the dead by leftist dictators, over one million Africans, over one million by Pol Pot etc), but they sure get hot & bothered when the "poor" arabs are abused. Never mind how many Jews are killed. Face it..we inhabit a parallel universe since the Left has infected the World.

3. Report: IDF Fire Kills TERRORIST In gaza

4. So Did He?
So did he cut the fence?
5. Let me guess ....
.... He only cut entered an off-limits area and cut the fence because he was picking flowers for his mommy, and the flowers on the Israeli side of the fence were much prettier. Shot in the chest, eh? If someone is shooting at your legs, don't duck.
Sarah B ,
U.S.A. / Israel
6. Another infiltrator killed, a new Shaheed created
Death brings joy to the families of Shaheeds (martyrs), so I imagine the families of the Shaheed are eating candies and celebrating as is the custom. For a Jew this is very foreign and strange as we love life. Another case of Life versus death and the difference between the two cultures.

9. Protect the fence that protects the people
The security fence that helps protect Israel from infiltration and murderous terror attack itself needs protecting.Those intent on sabotaging it must have no doubt in their minds that this is a no go area where once they cross that red line they do so entirely at their own risk and must accept the consequences.
Get Real ,
10. Hamas must have a reason to try out some new rockets
against Israel, so they send a mentally handicapted (I'm assuming) to instigate a response from Israel. Now that they have their response...hope the shelters are heated.
11. Hamas told them they won the war and they believe
Gaza residents really, really believe Hamas when it says they won a great victory against Israel. These foolish men actually maintained they could cross the fence and walk to Tel Aviv unhindered. They live in a truly bizarre fantasy land.

13. Deja vu
I could swear I read this exact scenario before. It must be deja vu. Wait a second. No it is a new storyline. Wow these Palestinians must have short memory skills. Every time one of them approaches the fence they get shot. Remind me not to do that the next time I go to Gaza.Idiots.

14. Hebrew for "at legs" is translated into english to mean " s
shot at center-mass, he's a non-jew"

15. Warning Shots
The definition of a warning shot is a shot fired that does no harm. A warning shot is intended to be the last warning before hostile measures. So since when is act of actually shooting someone fit the definition of a warning shot?

White River Junction, VT 05001
Explore Rocks and Minerals would be a great springboard
for a unit study or a supplement to studying geology, Earth science,
or rocks and minerals. It has 20 activities and experiments--including
the wonderfully yummy Earth models that my children thoroughly
enjoyed making. What could be better than an edible Earth made
from peanut butter, chocolate, ginger plum jam (the jam I had in
my cupboard), and coconut?
This book is written in a very readable, informative way--complete
with comparisons that children in elementary school will understand.
For example, the book doesn't just tell how hot the lower portion
of the Earth's crust is; it explains that at deeper levels closer
to the mantle, the temperature is twice as hot as boiling water.
It doesn't just state that the crust is 16 to 56 miles thick; rather,
it explains that it would take approximately one hour to travel
by car through the crust. This book is full of interesting facts,
sidebars of vocabulary words, and clear explanations. Even my pre-K
child has enjoyed listening to facts about the Earth and participating
in the activities.
One thing to note is the evolutionary content. The evolutionary
content is not extensive, but it is present in a few places. These
places include mentioning that the Earth is billions of years old,
the oldest rock found is "over four billion years old," and the
youngest rocks are "20 times younger--less than 200 million years
old." One of the later activities is a walk through time, including
a table showing that one step would be the Earth being formed 4.6
billion years ago; step 460 would be the first humans 160,000 years
ago, and time is denoted with BCE.
Despite the evolutionary content, there are many other excellent
experiments like growing needle-like crystals, exploring fossil
formation, making basalt columns, and creating stalactites. Each
activity includes a materials list, instructions, and any cautions
necessary. This book has such a thorough offering of simple activities
that children will enjoy and wonderful comparisons and explanations
that I am excited to use and have this book in my homeschool. I
highly recommend it.

The Little Couple's Jen: Bill Is "Fun Dad" and "I Am the Mean Maintenance Mom"
The Little Couple's Bill Klein and Dr. Jennifer Arnold recently adopted an adorable 3-year-old boy named Will from China. They are currently in the process of adopting a 19-month-old girl named Zoey from India.
The TLC stars talked to OK! Magazine about their parenting styles, and the difficulty of balancing work and kids.
"I knew Bill was going to be an awesome dad," Jen told OK!. "He's wanted to be a dad as long as I've known him and you know, he is just that… and to be honest, one of the best things I love to see is Bill having fun and just horsing around with Will. As you can imagine, Bill is a big kid himself — he's perfectly content to be the fun dad, and that's officially Bill's name — he is fun dad. ... In fact, when Will is angry and trying to throw a temper tantrum—and all 3-year-olds have their moments — Bill starts laughing at him and then all of a sudden Will can't decide if he wants to laugh or cry, trying to hold back from laughing while he's trying to throw a temper tantrum which i think is great! But anyway, Bill is definitely fun dad and I am the mean maintenance mom!"
No, no, no — Bill told OK! Jen's plenty fun herself, plus she has to balance being a mom with her job as a neonatologist at Texas Children's Hospital. "Everybody that's watched the show knows that Jen's selfless," Bill says. "She's devoted to her family, she's devoted to her job — and you know, she's as cute as a button! But you know, what she's impressed me the most is with her ability to be.. what's the word… I mean, she's a patient and loving mom, and I really don't understand how she's able to do it the way she does!"
Aww! Jen said she's still struggling with the home/work balance. "If I was independently wealthy would I work? Probably not, I'd stay home all the time being with Will, but we've found a wonderful nanny who is helping us out and you know, thankfully, I'm trying to do less 30-hour shifts as much as my work can allow it and it's just taking it day by day. You know, it could be three months from now I change everything and go part time, or maybe not, i think I'm just trying to play it by ear right now… there are no rule books, there are no guides, I wish someone could tell me the right thing to do because its definitely a challenge!"
Read a lot more of their interview here. Best of luck to them! Parenting isn't easy for anyone, but they seem to be doing a great job so far.

Help with Planning tank for Honey Gourami?
I got a honey gourami a few days ago, and she is currently living happily in a 5.5 gallon. I know she is going to be needing a new, bigger tank soon. I was thinking about a 10 gallon tank. If I got a ten gallon tank, cycled and planted, what else could I put with my honey gourami?
Also, I haven't checked my water's pH, GH and KH in a while, I usually just check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. I've heard you can look it up on your water supply company's website. Is this the right website, because I can't find what I'm looking for on it, LOL!
Region of Durham - Works - Water
You could have a pair of Hioney Gourami in a 10g. Some substrate fish too. Click on the shaded name for info on the species.
I looked at those water quality reports, I can't see any indication of hardness or pH. You may have to contact them.
Over the years I have kept my Honey G. with a shoal of the smaller tetras...either Ember Tetras, glowlights, Neons or Harliequin Rasboras, have kept them with Lemon tetras too. I would try to avoid keeping him with really active fish, it can stress them out a bit.

Phi Psi Hezekiah Eibert '15 provides the report:
Near the end of this past semester you may have seen several large containers labeled Goodwill Donations set up around campus. The boxes were set up as a philanthropy project by brothers of the Beta house, coordinated by Stephen Fenton and Zach Mahone.
The containers were set up for about the last week or two of the semester and were quickly filled by students as they cleaned out their rooms. Thanks to the generosity of the Wabash community and student body we were able to donate 35 overflowing trash bags full of clothing items (shirts, pants, shorts and shoes), 3 televisions, and about 10 paper bags of school supplies and other assorted items (lamps, books, pencils, and much more)!
The items were collected by the campus services team and donated to our own Crawfordsville Goodwill where they will help local families or other students in need of low cost goods.

``We want to use cash…there are times when cash buys more than other times, and this is one of those times where it buys more.'' '' Warren Buffett, interview with CNBC's Charlie Rose
It's interesting how we Filipinos get to observe the ongoing turmoil abroad from the perspective of kibitzers, especially considering that what used to be known as the most indomitable industry that has now been besieged by the question of survivorship.
Yet, I am not sure if ever our constituents realize the risks conditions and the lessons or opportunities presented thereof. For me, today's development clearly exhibits that there is nothing called as a guaranteed or risk free investments or a risk free system. Evolving dynamics ultimately cause dislocations for the better THAN for the worse or in Joseph Schumpeter's words "creative destruction". Hopefully.
For most of Asia it would seem the same way too. In the "Secrets Of War: The 36 Stratagems" published by an unknown writer during the Ming Dynasty 300 years ago, one of the war stratagems include "Watch the Fires Burn Across the River", which means to watch over your enemies wreak havoc upon themselves before making your move. As senseis.xmp.net interprets ``This is a kind of long-term, strategic version of the idea behind an inducing move. Before you intervene, see that the flow of the game started by action elsewhere brings the opportunity to its peak."
It is a wonder if the rest of Asia, especially if our leaders have these on their thoughts or if Asia itself has been greatly impacted by the ongoing ruckus.
Circumstantial evidence tells us we could be in the former state than in the latter.
As an example, in terms of corporate Mergers and Acquisition, the credit crisis induced global economic slowdown has filtered into the scene with a broad based weakness EXCEPT for Asia. According to a news report in Bloomberg, ``Companies announced takeovers valued at $2.37 trillion in the first nine months of the year, down from the record $3.29 trillion in the year-earlier period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The value of U.S. mergers dropped 35 percent, while dealmaking in Europe and the Middle East declined 28 percent, the data show. Only takeovers in Asia, excluding Japan, increased, showing an 11 percent gain." (highlight mine)
So maybe Asia's business sector are indeed watching over the extent of the ongoing spillover damage and taking up defensive positions by either consolidating nationally (e.g. Li-Ka Shing on Bank of East Asia) while taking advantage of the bear market and/or awaiting the right moment to grab opportunities overseas.
If the US took the hegemon away from the UK after the latter had suffered immensely from harrowing years of devastation wrought by World War II, could Asia be in a seemingly parallel position in terms of fortuitously eluding the systemic calamity of a banking crisis besetting the West?
Phisix: Another Divergent Week
Back to the Phisix it has been a delight to see our Phisix ignore the deteriorating sentiment seen in the US and elsewhere. But it isn't so for most of Asia. Although we are not sure if this tranquility signifies as the proverbial "calm before the storm", albeit there is a good chance that the recent developments has been part of the growing "divergence" trend.
Here is what I wrote last week in Phisix: Back To The Global Divergence Mode, ``But as what we have been saying before, if the estimates of foreign liquidation relative to the previous years of inflows have been accurate, then the pressure from another round of AIG-type of forcible liquidation has probably peaked and should be declining."
Present comment: The Phisix fell mildly by 1.19% amidst a global rout.
Again from last week, ``And if we continue to see this trend reinforced, then the threat from any future selling pressures is likely to emanate from local retail investors who are the easiest to be swayed or spooked by media reports. Thus, perhaps the diminishing trend of foreign selling plus future risks of "contagion dynamic" from local retail investors are likely to be indicative of the bottoming process we have long talking about."
Present comment: Last week's action seem to validate our prognosis: One foreign buying propped up the Phisix and two, the spike in number of trades clearly points to domestic retail investors in panic!
Two weeks doesn't a trend make but we seem to be moving in the right direction!
Lastly, again from last week, ``And a bottom process entails rangebound trading or gradual confidence building recovery."

The history of Andorra is not very well-documented. In fact, it is rather sparse. No major historical works mention Andorra (with one exception), and all of the following is the result of painstaking research of translated sources.

When we watch the latest uprising on television or read about the toll
of the latest natural disaster on people in another country, we are
often inspired to help. We want to make a difference. We want to change
the world. But doing it is another matter.
We often find ourselves discouraged with the sheer magnitude of the
latest flood, earthquake, or war. Can anything we say or do really help?
The answer is yes, but not in the way you might think. When Mother
Teresa was asked how to change the world, she said it was by meeting the
need in front of you. This is also part of what Jesus had in mind when
he taught to love your neighbor as yourself, defining "neighbor" as the
anyone in need of compassion.
One anti-slavery organization commissioned a study to determine the best
way an American could help end world slavery. The conclusion? If every
American gave a small monthly donation ($10-$20/monthly) to anti-slavery
organizations, the funding would exist to end the global slave trade in
our lifetime.
The point is that the little things matter. How you treat the cashier at
your local grocery or the server at your favorite restaurant is how you
and I begin to change the world.
Perhaps my favorite story on this topic comes from the encounter where a
woman brought an expensive jar of perfume as a gift for Jesus. Some
bystanders pointed out that the perfume could have been sold for a high
price and the money given to the poor. But Jesus responded, "She did
what she could."
When this life is over, I hope God looks at me with the same attitude,
saying, "He did what he could." I may not cure cancer or end poverty,
but I am determined to help those I meet each day with the love of God.
If enough of us do this, we really will change the world.

This was so encouraging to read!
It's overwhelming to think of whats going on in the world and to get wrapped up in this "I'm just one person" idea. Just one person can make a difference and can change the world.
Thank you!

text: In his recent meeting in Auburn, Congressman Tom McClintock stated that "you don't sort of fight a war; you either go in all the way or you don't go in at all." These sentiments were echoed by a student, Rachel Finkbeiner (Reader Input, Dec 23.) Now this sounds good. But think a moment. With this philosophy, we would have wound up using nuclear weapons to end the Korean Conflict. And in Vietnam, we would have continued to escalate — until the Russians and/or Chinese came in against us. Then instead of 55,000 killed, we would have had perhaps a half-million. McClintock also believes that in Afghanistan our soldiers should return artillery fire into civilian homes. He is not the least concerned with "collateral damage." This is lunacy. Anyone who has the least familiarity with the Afghan conflict will tell us that this is essentially a war to win the hearts and minds of the people. And you do not win the hearts and minds of a people by killing their women and children — or their grandparents, or by destroying their homes and villages. McClintock's formula for success in Afghanistan is a recipe for absolute disaster. I wish McClintock would show a little less concern for making statements that will win him votes with an angry audience and a little more to the reality of a complex and difficult situation.

At BAKER, our lives are all about multiplying torque. It begins by mastering the math and ends with making sure you stay riding in the best range possible…for the long haul.
This page explains GEAR RATIOS. This is the art and science of optimizing the transmission gear sizes to the desired RPM-vs-Speed performance. The variables we finesse to achieve the perfect balance are the motor sprocket, the transmission gearset, the transmission pulley/sprocket, the wheel pulley/sprocket and the wheel size.
The fundamentals of this mastery reside with the following two equations:
RPM = (S × Sr × Pc × G × 88.00) ÷ (Tc × Sf × Pm)
Speed = (RPM × Tc × Sf × Pm) ÷ (Sr × Pc × G × 88.00)
Use the diagram below to determine what your speed or RPM will be.
S = Speed (miles per hour)
RPM = Engine revolutions per minute
Sr = Rear sprocket tooth count, secondary drive
Pc = Clutch sprocket tooth count, primary drive
G = Gear ratio
Tc = Circumference of rear tire: (diameter (ft.) X 3.1416) (Typical tire is 25" in diameter) Example: 2.083ft. (25") X 3.1416 = 6.54ft.
Sf = Front pulley/sprocket tooth count (tranny output, secondary drive)
Pm = Motor sprocket tooth count, primary drive
Math is Hard – We're here to help
At BAKER Drivetrain we notice for some reason a lot of bikers don't do math. How odd. Now some do it well, but many don't. So, we're here to help you through this part.
Feel free to call us TOLL FREE at 1-877-640-2004 and get advice on how to optimize your drivetrain performance.

Perfection came to fruition last week for LaFollette Middle School's golf teams.
The Owls and Lady Owls completed a three-tournament sweep by winning Tennessee Middle School Golf Association championships Thursday at The Greens at Deerfield. Seventeen schools from two regions had representatives playing in the 18-hole tournament, either as a member of one of the four competing teams or as individuals.
Fifteen track and field athletes from Campbell County High School have qualified to participate in the 1-AAA Sectional Championships this week.
For the first time, events will be held at two different sites. Morristown West will host the girl's and boy's 3,200-meter races this afternoon (Thurs.). The remainder of the meet will be held on Friday at Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett, with field events scheduled to begin at noon. The top four athletes in each event will qualify for state.
Campbell County High School's varsity baseball team had to fight through adversity this season, but the Cougars managed to get one more win than they got last season.
Three of Campbell County's eight victories came against longtime Knoxville baseball power Central. The Cougars' most recent triumph over the Bobcats came last Wednesday in a district play-in game. Campbell County won that game, 12-5.
After sweeping Scott Co. in a rain drenched doubleheader on April 26, the Campbell County Middle School baseball team traveled to Whitley County, Ky. for a doubleheader on April 29.
Whitley County School was like a field of dreams on a campus sprawling over rolling green pastures that included multiple well-groomed fields and courts. It was a beautiful day for baseball.
When the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released its crime statistics for 2009, Campbell County found itself in an unfavorable position.
The numbers, reported by law enforcement departments in each jurisdiction, showed that Campbell County has one of the highest crimes rates in the state, according to the TBI report.
These are year to date totals that provide a "snapshot" of the crime that is occurring in a county, said TBI Spokesperson Kristin Helms.
"The numbers were reported to us directly from each individual agency," Helms said.
The move to allow beer sales on Sunday dried up at Monday's commission meeting.
Despite Gary Farwick's, owner of Flat Hollow Marina, attempt to convince commissioners of the financial benefits of repealing the blue law that prohibits the sale of beer on Sunday, the issue went flat.
Farwick said that while beer itself wasn't a great moneymaker for the marinas, allowing its sale on Sundays would increase restaurant and gas sale as well as other activities at the docks.
When it comes to bad investments, Jellico Vice–Mayor Mike Johnson feels he made the worst.
After being cited by Knoxville City Police last Thursday for four counts of prohibited sexual activity in establishment offering food and alcoholic beverage, Johnson says his investment in The El Tenampa Cantina on Chapman Highway was a mistake.
At first Peyton is shy. He hides behind his grandmother, a woman he calls mommy, until he is ready to play.
Peyton Douglas has big round dark eyes with hair to match. He bounces around the playground, goes up the slide backwards and peeks between the wooden slats of the swing set with his dark eyes.
It is in those eyes his story lays.
In his eyes is the truth about who dislocated his arm, burned him with a cigarette and left multiple bruises all over his tiny body last year.
Like many young boys in rural Illinois, Bill Bennett grew up hunting and fishing. Years later, he feels that he has come up with a way to connect a love for the outdoor pursuits with his role as executive director of Galilee Bible Camp, a nondenominational Christian ministry of American Missionary Fellowship.
"My vision was to try to figure out a way to use (hunting and fishing) as an instrument to share the Gospel in a non-threatening way," said Bennett.
The LaFollette Press staff brought home multiple awards on Saturday as journalists from across East Tennessee gathered to honor their own.
In a capacity crowd at The Foundry, the Press staff was recognized by the East Tennessee Society for Professional Journalists for their work in seven categories.

my photos
I picked up this little guy on my last trip to Paris, ostensibly for my 21st, but mostly because it is oh so beautiful. The tri-pochette first entered my head as a viable alternative to the two-tone pochette when I saw Phoebe Philo carrying one at the CFDA awards, strap tucked inside, like it ain't no thang. She looked so fabulous and I loved the way each pouch puffed out. This wine-coloured piece is so rich and sumptuous in real life, the perfect foil to navy blue (surely the it colour combination this season if the acne collection is anything to go by!). Celine's first foray into the world was last Friday, where she had dinner at Mamak, drinks at Ravesis, and then dirty dancing at White Revolver (predictably it all went downhill from there). Today I was laughing with my friend about the fact that "Celine does not go to White Revolver". Celine goes to Brunch. And Celine drinks dirty martinis at the Commons. Celine enjoys red wine and mushroom pizza at Love Supreme, and dried fig and cinnamon toasted granola from Room 10. Celine shops at blood orange and wears Frederic Malle Edition Parfum Lipstick Rose. Celine takes long lunches. Celine does not catch buses. Celine does not have chipped nail polish. Celine drinks really strong coffee. Celine only buys groceries at Thomas Dux... Expect a bit of a jokey post on this, complete with pictures of Celine doing said activities some time in the future. Celine always keeps her promises!
ps this is my 1000th post. I wanted to share something really special with you guys and this is truly something special. Thanks for reading and sharing it with me. I mean it more than I can say.
