Candidate Vetting Yesterday and Today
During a rumination on the proposition that a slow-to-develop presidential campaign cycle could reduce opportunities for the thorough media vetting of candidates, Jonathan Bernstein makes this simple but important observation:
[W]hile I'm generally reluctant to be one who says that the internet changes everything, I do think this is at least plausibly a case where it matters. For one thing, in the old days -- say, before the debut of the Hotline in the 1988 cycle -- it was still possible for a local story to sit out there for a long time without anyone knowing it. No way could that happen now.
I'd agree, with the crucial qualification that in the past a "local story" about a presidential candidate did not have to be completely unknown nationally to be functionally invisible or at least unimportant. A great example was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter's fairly elaborate and not-too-distant history of flirtation with segregationists was hardly a secret, but never became a factor during the Democratic primaries or the general election. Indeed, one aspect of that history, his vote for arch-segregationist Lester Maddox when the Georgia legislature was forced to elect a governor of Georgia in 1966, went almost entirely unnoticed.
Now it's true that the staunch support of Andrew Young and the King family helped inoculate Carter from charges of past racism in 1976, along with Carter's own decent civil rights record once he actually became governor in 1971. Indeed, Carter was very popular among African-American primary voters around the country (just like Bill Clinton years later, even though Clinton, like Carter, was perceived as less than ideally progressive, albeit never vulnerable to accusations of racism). But you have to wonder if Carter could have survived the kind of early exposure of and daily questioning about his past positioning on civil rights if he had been subjected to today's levels of scrutiny and discussion.
My point is that modern media have not only made it harder to hide damaging information about politicians, but have made it harder to hide such information in plain sight, passed over as irrelevant or unimportant. To cite a seminal example, Trent Lott's 2002 remarks expressing regret that Strom Thurmond hadn't been elected president back in 1948 were widely reported, but it took relentless discussion of them by blogger Josh Marshall and others to make it something other than a "local story" of brief interest to Beltway insiders and Mississippians.
While it's still possible for candidates and political parties--supported by friendly media--to "control the narrative" in a way that shoves negative information under the rug, it's simply not as easy as it used to be. And that could very well be a factor in the decisions of potential 2012 presidential candidates to take a pass.

This Saturday's fight card not only features two championship fights, but it also introduces MMA legend Renzo Gracie to the UFC. Also, Oregon native John Gunderson will be fighting in the UFC for the second time in his career. Many Oregonians will be watching and rooting for him.
Enough said...time to make some educated guesses!
The co-main event is a Middleweight championship bout featuring champion Anderson Silva (25-4, No.1 MW) and Demian Maia (12-1, No.5 MW)
Anderson Silva is an obvious master at what he does. He is not only the number one middleweight, but he is also regarded as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the entire world. He has incredible speed and accuracy in his striking. He uses elbows, knees, punches and kicks. He has every advantage, no matter who he is fighting as long as they stay standing up. He used to spar heavyweight Antonio Nogueira and make him look bad. He is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and uses his long limbs to his advantage. On the other side, Demian Maia is one of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters in the world. His one loss came by KO to Nate Marquardt. If he can surprise Silva, just like Ryo Chonan or Daiju Takase did, he might submit him. However, Maia is a methodical submission artist and moves from on transition to the next. I don't see Maia submitting Silva even if he were to take him down. With the hot sun and the sweat, he had better attempt to submit him before round two.
Winner: Silva, Round 2, TKO
The other main event is a Lightweight championship fight featuring champ B.J. Penn (15-5-1, No.1 LW) and Frankie Edgar (11-1, No.7 LW)
Penn is one of the most talented fighters in the world. His only loss at lightweight came against Jen Pulver eight years ago. Since then, he has moved up and down in weight and is back to the division where he currently belongs. He is an incredible boxer and has very powerful jabs and hooks that he throws from his hips. He also has great knees that can knock out anyone. He has a BJJ blackbelt and is incredible flexible, intelligent and lethal when it comes to ground fighting. He has had problems against larger wrestler such as St. Pierre and Hughes, but when he fights someone his own size, such as Diego Sanchez, he has great defense. His conditioning problems seem to be behind him. On the other hand, Edgar is a very fast boxer with tons of heart. He has great foot movement and has gone through some wars with some of the best lightweights. Even if Edgar can outbox Penn, he could be taken down or beat up from the clinch by Penn's knees and dirty boxing. Edgar's only shot is in round four or five if Penn spends too much energy in the early rounds.
Winner: Penn, Rd.5, Unanimous Decision
Welterweight bout, Matt Hughes (43-7) vs. Renzo Gracie (13-6-1)
Hughes has fallen far from his UFC pedestal. As a former champion, he has faced the best there are. He is not the fastest fighter, but has solid boxing skills. His reach is not the best, but his strength lies in wrestling. He has taken down almost everyone he has fought. In this fight however, Hughes may try to stay on his feet considering he has the power punching advantage over Gracie. In the other corner, Gracie is a true veteran and even though he does not have as many fights as Hughes, he has just as much talent and class. Gracie is an obvious BJJ blackbelt but is also a surprisingly good wrestler. This match might be much closer than many UFC fans expect. The only question with Gracie is his stand-up fighting ability. He likes to use other fighters movements to score takedowns. This might be tough for him if Hughes plays the counter-striker.
Winner: Hughes, Rd. 3, Split Decision
Middleweight bout, Kendall Grove (11-6) vs. Mark Munoz (7-1)
Grove has come a long way since being on The Ultimate Fighter reality show. He has fought some top talent. He has good stand-up skills, but his chin has been suspect in the past. He has been put to sleep by some powerful punches, but when he has a weakness, he is the kind of fighter who fixes the problem. His biggest weapon comes in his 6'6" frame. He has an incredible reach on his jab but also his knees can come up very high to the head or the torso. He has great trips for take-downs and can smother smaller fighters with his frame. He also loves to land elbows from the mount which sets him up to get the choke-out. On the other side is Munoz, an incredibly powerful puncher who reminds me of a smaller version of Shane Carwin. He likes to bully fighters into the cage with take-down attempts then land bombs as they are pinned. If he can bypass Grove's reach advantage he has a chance to knock him out or take him down and land some shots.
Winner: Grove, Rd. 2, KO (knees)
Lightweight bout, John Gunderson (22-7) vs. Paul Taylor (10-5-1)
Gunderson, an Oregon native, has had quite the career for someone who is just into their second UFC fight. He is a workhorse when he trains and it shows in the cage. He has never been knocked out in 29 fights, which is an impressive feat in its own. He started his career here in Bend, Oregon and his first fight was Desert Brawl 5, a local venue through founder, JT "The Outlaw" Taylor. He has improved on his wrestling base and has a great knowledge of jiu-jitsu and has used some rare moves to submit opponents. Fighting against him is British journeyman, Paul Taylor. Taylor is 3-4 in the UFC and has great boxing skills and has excellent timing when he throws head kicks. He has the size advantage of being 6'0" versus Gunderson's 5'9". Taylor loves to brawl and trade punch for punch, which the crowd loves to see, which is why he is probably still fighting in the UFC. The problem with his brawling attitude is that he leaves himself open to take-downs and submissions. This should be a great back and forth fight.
Winner: Gunderson, Rd.3, Anaconda Choke
Enjoy the fights!

While Justin Bieber was cited by Los Angeles highway patrol for reaching speeds over 80 mph on Friday, it was soon revealed his "reckless" behavior was the result of photographers tailing his chrome Fisker Karma on the 101 Freeway. Many on the scene reportedly dialed 911, including L.A. Councilman Dennis Zine, who claimed Bieber deserved to be arrested for his behavior. With many drawing similarities to Princess Diana's fatal car chase in 1997, LA96.3 FM aired the audio from Bieber's 911 call—perhaps in effort to further prove the severity of Hollywood's paparazzi culture, or to show Beliebers how calm their man can be under pressure—in which he explains his location, situation and fake last name ("Johnson"—he's really partial to that one, isn't he?).
"I was going to go fast so I could lose these people and then I got pulled over and the police told me that if they kept following me to call in," Bieber explained, when an operator asked for confirmation that he was in fact that lunatic weaving in and out of traffic on one of L.A.'s busiest highways. "They're the ones that are driving reckless and… I'm just trying to like not have them be on my tail right now." There are a few personal nuggets to be gleaned from this emergency call as well: Bieber considers himself "new" to Los Angeles, can't pronounce "Alameda" ("Yeah, I'm not from L.A…"), doesn't know his own phone number and was headed "to work" on Friday morning—most likely the set of his upcoming "short film" accompaniment to Believe's "As Long As You Love Me."
It's a little shocking that emergency calls can last this long. Bieber remains on the line for over 15 minutes, managing to be polite with each person he speaks with ("And you want someone to come assist you to stop them from following you?" "I would love that") while opting to vent his frustrations about the whole experience to lucky operator number two. "He let all those paparazzi around my vehicle while he was doing that citation," Bieber says of the police officer who initially pulled him over. A little over a month after his similarly scary situation with a photographer, it makes sense he has a lot to say on the subject:
This is crazy! Crazy, because before—like now they're following me—but before I was driving fast so I could try to get away from them and I got pulled over myself, I mean that's the craziest thing ever. And when I tried to explain it to the police officers they were being very not nice about it, they were just like, "Well you wave your right to privacy when she says you're a celebrity." That makes absolutely no sense when they're the ones like..I know I'm driving fast but they're the ones being dangerous.
Bieber's since filed a formal harassment complaint against the photographers who were tailing him, but we hope bouquets of flowers, or at least friendly thank you tweets, to the highway patrol operators who served as both his saviors and temporary therapists for the day are on their way.

Moraine Park Technical College recently recognized Wisconsin State Representative Joan Ballweg (R-Markesan) for her leadership efforts to secure an additional $2 million in financial aid funds for the Wisconsin Technical College System.
The funds will come from the Wisconsin Higher Education Grants (WHEG) programs and will be available to students during the 2013-15 school years. The additional funds allocated will help to compensate for the shortfall that left over 50,000 eligible students without financial aid.
"This is a great start, but we have a lot more to do to ensure that financial aid is available to eligible students," Ballweg said. "I urge others to continue to stress the importance of financial aid and help others realize this is a smart investment."
During the presentation, Richard Zimman, Moraine Park Technical College District Board chairperson, said that in the next decade 54 percent of Wisconsin's jobs will require a technical education. "Wisconsin's technical colleges are an essential asset for our state's future," Zimman said. "Moraine Park commends Representative Ballweg for her leadership in preparing our state for the future."
Moraine Park Technical College was established in 1912 and is one of 16 technical college districts that make up the Wisconsin Technical College System. With campuses in Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac and West Bend, Moraine Park offers more than 100 associate of applied science degrees, technical diplomas, apprenticeships and certificates delivered in a variety of formats — classroom, online and blended. Training and technical assistance for businesses is also offered.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz presided yesterday over the regular weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers, and spotlighted the Kingdom's health services. King Fahd praised the efforts of the Ministry of Health as the state-run body which undertakes the responsibility of providing health care and operating well-defined programs for improvement of its performance, adding: "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, all praise to Almighty God, has been able to implement health care programs and medical service through a wide network of primary health care units, general hospitals, and specialized centers set up in various parts of the country. These efforts have been reinforced by the distinguished health role undertaken by military sectors whose contribution is much appreciated." King Fahd then went on to commend the private sector for the health services they provide, referring to these as constituting a substantial and integral part of the Kingdom's health system.
Information Minister Dr. Fouad Al-Farsi reported that King Fahd expressed personal appreciation as well as that of the cabinet for the remarkable progress achieved by the health services, particularly over the last few years, in prevention as well as in treatment. He cited the anti-polio immunization campaigns carried out by the Ministry of Health through hospitals and health centers nationwide, expressing delight that the number of immunized children rose in five years to 97 percent. These immunization campaigns will continue until the year 2000 in order to eradicate polio. Overall immunization is now 94 percent, for diphtheria, whooping cough, consumption, measles and hepatitis as well as polio.
King Fahd pointed out that the Saudi plan to upgrade health services which has led to a remarkable decrease in epidemic disease, owes much to the latest technology being employed to improve their performance together with optimum utilization of health resources to cover the needs of the citizens. Expressing pride in the medical achievements accomplished by Saudi doctors in various specializations, King Fahd highlighted the performance of the Saudi colleges of medicine and the health institutes affiliated to the Ministry of Health, and urged health care personnel to intensify efforts to provide the best services for the citizens. He also called on private hospitals to set reasonable charges for their health services.
Dr. Al-Farsi reported that the cabinet, after reviewing the items on the agenda, passed a number of resolutions including approval of the agreement, and the accompanying protocol, between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Italy for the promotion and protection of mutual investments.

So first off, I have a question. Me and my girlfriend like to hike/explore a lot, and I was curious of the legality of carrying a big knife like a Kukri or a Bowie when doing that. I would think as long as it is not concealed it would be okay?
Next, do any of you know of good websites or books on fighting techniques with a kukhri knife? I know the Ghurkas are pretty fearsome with them.

I work as a staff attorney for the Massachusetts Committee for Public Counsel Services (public defenders). For six years prior to law school, I taught high school physics and astronomy, and the choice to leave teaching was probably the most difficult of my professional life. I began my career as a teacher because I felt it was the place where I could best put my skills and interests to work making a difference. Eventually, I entered law school having come to the conclusion that I could do more with the law. Having encountered a number of legal issues as a teacher, entrepreneur, and community volunteer, I came to recognize that the law greatly affected all that I cared for. Because of this, the law, especially public service work, holds a strong attraction.
Fun times on the USS Harry S Truman during a tour with the other JAG interns, and yes, I think I'm wearing the same shirt in both this and the DNA picture.
I was an article editor for the BU Journal of Science and Technology Law, and my Note, Heads in the Clouds, A Coming Storm: The Interplay of Cloud Computing, Encryption, and the Fifth Amendment's Protection Against Self-incrimination, was published in volume 17 of the journal.
Before graduating, I participated in BU's Criminal Law Clinic where I worked as a Rule 3:03 attorney providing criminal defense to indigent defendants at the Boston Municipal Court.
I now work in norther MA as a public defender, representing indigent clients in criminal court cases. Occasionally, I even get the chance to revisit the role of teacher, volunteering as a coach for Discovering Justice's mock trial program. As I'm fond of ponting out, all I've really done is move from the laws of nature to those of humanity.
Occasionally, I blog about the law and my work under Law & Lawyering on my blog.
As discussed on this site's disclaimer, none of the information found on this website should be considered legal advice nor can I dispense legal advice in person or over email.

Small life update is included at the bottom of this post. ~ Katie
Hello HH readers! I'm Lindsay and I blog over at The Lean Green Bean. I'm so excited to be guest posting for Katie during this amazing time in her life! Katie's one of my idols since she's already an RD and that's what I'm in school studying to become. Even though we've never met in real life, I always feel just a little bit more connected to those who share the same passion as I do for nutrition and dietetics.
When Katie emailed me to ask if I would be interested in doing a guest post for her, I may or may not have actually let out a little squeal of excitement! I immediately said yes and started brainstorming. She asked me to feature some of my favorite recipes and I wanted to come up with a fun way to share them with you.
So, seeing as it's the holiday season, and you may be spending a bit more time with family and friends than you usually get to, I thought it would be fun to put together a little menu for you guys. Essentially, I've planned you an easy, healthy dinner party that you could serve to your family or a group of your friends. You can thank me later.
Side note- Back in August, my hubby and I challenged ourselves to go vegetarian for a month….we did it successfully…and then we just never stopped! So, this menu is mainly vegetarian, but I did provide an alternate meat entree for you!
Here you go:
- Mini Pesto Bruschetta Cups
- Goat Cheese & Cranberry Stuffed Mushrooms
- Spicy Garlic Flatbread Crackers & Sweet Potato Hummus
Soup & Salad
Main Dish-Veg
Main Dish-Meat
Let's break it down a little further shall we?
Appetizers: -The mini bruschetta cups are totally adorable, yet at the same time look super fancy…but don't let that fool you, they're a cinch to make. -The mushrooms contain the best mushroom stuffing combo I've ever had! Goat cheese and cranberries go really well together. -As for the crackers, they're really basic and it's so cool to be able to say you made them yourself! -I like sweet potato hummus because it's a fun change but feel free to sub your favorite flavor, OR like I recommend in my post- add a bulb of roasted garlic and a roasted red pepper along with the sweet potato to make my favorite hummus of all time!
Soup & Salad: -The soup is perfect for fall & winter, packed with flavor and really easy to make because everything gets blended together so you don't have to worry about cutting everything the same time! -The salad is a favorite of mine. I LOVE spinach and strawberries together and the dressing pairs with it perfectly.
Main Dishes: -I know it sounds crazy, but I think tacos are the perfect food for a dinner party. They're so easy to customize because people can make their own and put whatever they want in them. I love the sweet potato and black bean combo, but you could also cook up some chicken or beef as an option, and lots of veggies for people to add. -If you're looking for something a little fancier, this chicken is easy and looks nice and fancy! You can use the leftover goat cheese from your appetizer to stuff the chicken.
Sides: -Balsamic veggies are one of my favorite side dishes. Just cut everything up and throw them in a Ziploc bag with some balsamic vinegar to marinate, then put them on skewers and grill them or toss them on a different tray and throw them in the oven at the same time you're roasting the sweet potatoes for the tacos! -Zucchini fries are a fun twist on traditional French fries. They actually get pretty crispy and are great dipped in marinara sauce.
Desserts: -The cookies are one of my own flavor combinations. I love ginger cookies and these mix-ins really take them over the top. -The banana bites are one of my favorite dessert treats. They're fun to make and not your typical party dessert.
So there you have it friends! Better send out your invites because this party is a real winner!
Big thanks to Katie for letting me take over her blog for the day and a big thanks to all of you for reading. Feel free to stop by The Bean and say hi! I love making new friends.
Thank you so much for putting together this wonderful menu Lindsay!
Life update: John and I have gotten a TON of unpacking and organizing done in these few short days. I will do a move update as soon as I can! We finally got internet last night and I wrote my first post too — all about the baby of course! We also put our Christmas tree up and decorated. We're very excited to find a church to attend and enjoy our first Christmas service with them (actually, Christmas mass will be our first mass at the new church since we're our of town this weekend!) Hope we pick a good one!

Rick Ellis: Father's emotional plea from daughter Lindsey's grave goes viral
He posted the video on Facebook
(KARK/NBC NEWSCHANNEL) Hundreds of thousands of people are sharing an Arkansas father's warning about the dangers of driving under the influence.
"If I can help anybody, I want you to listen to me," Rick Ellis says at the top of a video recorded in a cemetery.
"My little girl was killed from a mother who wanted to get high and drink and party and have fun, " he continues.
6-year-old Lindsey Kay shares a tombstone with her mother, Ellis' ex-wife, who sat behind the wheel when they crashed on a Mississippi Highway in 2010. The single-car accident killed both of them.
"She was always, always full of smiles. She was born an angel and died an angel," says Ellis.
July 17th Ellis visited Lindsey's grave for the first time since her funeral.
"I wondered how I could help, how I could change, how I could make that moment better, how I could give my little girl a voice," he says.
Ellis pressed record then posted the 3 minute clip to Facebook and watched as friends and later, strangers shared it and their stories of loss more than 400,000 times in six days.
"I can't explain how overwhelming it is. People say they just put the beer down and that video changed them," he says.

Larry Burrow's (James Belushi) is a 35 year old man who back in high school missed a ball. That one moment in his life has caused him to spiral out of control. Oh he has the job, the wife, the house that he was still working on but he didn't have his self worth.
One day he ends up getting fired by Niles Pender (Hart Bochner). You see Larry had found out what Niles was up and how he wanted to sell the company out from under his boss's nose. That night he was supposed to have an intimate dinner with his wife Ellen (Linda Hamilton) as it is his birthday. Ellen had contacted him and said she had to work.
Larry is driving home and stops at this Honky-tonk bar. The bartenders name is Mike (Michael Caine) and Larry simply unburdens himself to him. A few drinks later, Larry heads to his house. Once there he realizes that someone else is living in it and is asked to leave. Mike appears as a taxi driver and takes Larry to his new house. It's a mansion and he has the his ex-boss's daughter as his wife. Now Cindy (Renee Russo) was always the one that everyone wanted as their wife. She was a trophy wife so to speak.
You see something has happened and Mike is at work here. Mike is Mr. Destiny and has turned Larry's life upside down. Rather than striking out and missing that ball, he hit it and became the hero.
Now watch the rest of the film and see just how Larry's life could have been and then see which life is better. Sometimes we take for granted what we have.
Director James Orr does a wonderful job with this story The characters work well in this film and make it a wonderful movie. Jon Lovitz as Clip Metzler, Larry's childhood friend, is a laugh a minute. The chemistry among the cast is wonderful. So sit back and enjoy this film and wonder for yourself if there is something that you did in your past that if it would have been done differently would you have turned out a different person. If not then be thankful for all you have.

Tis Good to Be a Princess
what's a girl to do?December 15th 2010 12:30 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ]
Mom is worried about me again, I seem to have lost weight again. MOm used the regular scale, but she thinks it is over a pound & a half. We are not sure if it is that Smithwick is inhaling everything or what. She gave me a 1/4 tab appetite stimulant yesterday, and found a secret spot for my food bowl that they boys cannot get to. She will keep it full for me. I don't really fight for my food either, the boys can pretty much take it away from me (pretty funny for a girl who had big food aggression as a kitten huh?) I ate some wet food, which I really haven't been interested in. I am always quiet, but Mom doesn;t really see any behavior changes. We are going to try 1/8 tab every other day. The 1/4 almost seemed to make me crazy to eat, and Mom does not want me to gorge & get sick either. If I don't seem to put any weight on within a few days it is back to the vet I guess. SHe feels bad, because with all things being hectic around here tryong to move Nana, that she feels like she was not paying enough attention. And Smithwick looks a little chubby, although he is a stocky kitten - so no more kittne eating as much as he wants - time for a reality check!

Are you sure there isn't something else wrong? Sobe had an infected toe,& he wouldn't eat until it felt better. Our Tigger is getting tubby,we eat off & on throughout the day(dry food) & have our dinner Canned Food)at 5:00 & we eat that off & on throughout the night.
I hope nothing is wrong with you. As long as you're the proper weight (according to your V-E-T), there's nothing to be worried about. I don't make a big deal about eating either. In fact if I eat too quickly I get sick. But I've always been small so I don't need much. Not like my piggie siblings.

Buccaneers new helmet and team logo will be unveiled this week. The new look will be announced on the NFL Network Thursday night. According to Fox 13 Tampa Bay, Warren Sapp, NFL commentator and long time Buccaneer could hardly contain his excitement.
'New @TBBuccaneers helmet coming for 2014! Wait til you see this thing!!' he tweeted Tuesday.
Buccaneers new helmet is the first redesign since 1997. Old school fan favorite "Bucco Bruce" was replaced in 1997 with the current pirates flag with a skull and crossed swords. The current design represents some of the teams best days as they made the playoffs seven times with it including a Super Bowl championship.
Hopefully the Buccaneers new helmet and logo design will complement their brand new head coach and general manager. The team needs to turn things around here having losing seasons posted in four of the last five. And fans were very vocal and attached to "Bruce", so this redesign had better be really impressive.
The only hint that Sapp offered besides his excited tweet was that the facemask would be chrome. Maybe the Bucs are going with a futuristic look like a pirate version of the Terminator. That would be very impressive indeed.
What do you think about the Buccaneers new helmet story? Please drop in your comments below.

Another mound that is located in Glendale in Cincinnati is known as the Mathew Mound located just off Oak Road near the village of Evendale. The mound is believed to have been built during the Woodland period that is believed to have been built by the members of the Adena and Hopewell peoples. For a long time this site was believed to be the burial site of a Native American known as "Opekasit". The mound stands at four and a half feet high with a diameter of slightly more than sixty feet. This mound has never been excavated so this is a good example of a mound from the Woodland period. Due to other excavations of mounds located around the Mathew mound, that the Mathew mound would contain evidence of funerary practices like grave goods and the remains of buried bodies. Since this mound has the potential of containing information pertaining to who resided here.

text: Mar 21, 2014 18:19 Faith Matters for Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012 Faith Matters for Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012 Juan Huertas Terry Robinson Comments If not for the church during his teen years, the Rev. Juan Huertas may not be speaking to hundreds of congregants each week as senior pastor of St. John's Methodist Church. Huertas may not even be speaking much English if it hadn't been for the church. The church community helped Huertas' spiritual and academic development when he came to Louisiana from his native Puerto Rico at age 13 about 20 years ago. "I spoke very little English, and I really struggled to learn," Huertas said. "The first year I was here, I really wanted my parents to take me back home." The Huertas family — Huertas, his sister and parents — found a home in Alexandria. And Huertas soon found security, mentors and teachers at churches there. "I think in some ways the church provided a safe place for me to enter into this culture, to enter into the language and learn the culture and in a place that was safe and where people cared for me and loved me and helped me find my way through a difficult time in my life," Huertas said. "Even though I wasn't familiar with the language, I was familiar with the rhythm of going to church and getting involved in the community of faith." His family was devout Protestants in a predominantly Roman Catholic Puerto Rico. His father came to Louisiana to be a chaplain at the federal prison in Oakdale. Involvement in churches in Alexandria helped Huertas see the potential he had to succeed in his new life and new home. "That's what the community of faith did for me. It reminded me of my own gifts." After graduating from high school, he attended Louisiana College in Pineville in 2000. He then went to the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta in 2005. Huertas, 33, pastored Horseshoe Drive United Methodist Church in Alexandria and Squyres United Methodist Church in Ragley before coming to Baton Rouge last summer with his wife, Shannon, and three children. Huertas sees wonderful opportunities at St. John's, a diverse church of about 900 members at 9375 Highland Road, and the surrounding community of upper middle class and the Gardere area. "Most churches are pretty segregated," he said. "Mine looks pretty diverse compared to most churches in the city and probably across the state … We're that kind of church that welcomes people and that's kind of willing to struggle through the tension of what it feels like to be different. And I love that. I love that my kids are growing up in this church and in this community." Huertas was recently featured on "Day 1", a national syndicated weekly ecumenical radio program produced by Atlanta-based Alliance for Christian Media. The show highlighted a sermon for the 11th Sunday of Pentecost. The sermon titled "Sharing in the Life of Jesus" is based on John 6:35, 41-51. "Those of us who claim Christ as our Lord find ourselves being fed by Christ's own presence, and it is in that feeding that we are participants in the divine life," he says in the message. "God reaching out to us, providing a way for grace, opening the doors for the holy to live among us, again and again and again. You can't get much closer to something than when you eat of it." It was Huertas' second time featured on the program. He preached on the show in 2004 while a student at Emory. He has also served as a blogger for the show's website. Huertas wants to help the church and community grow in faith. "A lot of times in faith circles, we think of our faith as just a set of beliefs that we can kind of check off," Huertas said, but he sees faith as something that helps believers act. Faith "helps me interpret the world, and as a pastor it helps me guide the community into its calling — kind of who they say are as people of faith — and helps interpret the narratives of our faith in ways that help me make a difference in the world." On the road with Jesus Author Dennis Coates takes readers on a walk with Jesus as Jesus does most of the talking in the new book "Walk With Me" (West Bow Press.). Coates said Jesus wants to walk and talk with us just as he spoke with the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus as recorded in Luke 24. "Their hearts burned within them just because they paid attention to what I was telling them, and this at a time when they didn't even recognize me. "When you come to me each day, come with the expectancy of being with the greatest friend you have," Coates writes. "And begin now to have that attitude, that point of view, that feeling of being in the best possible place on earth, that place where no enemy can assail you, no ignorance misdirect you, no confusion can lead you astray." Coates gives a hint of Catholic background and education in the chapter titled, "About My Mother," dealing with Mary. "See this woman I loved so dearly on earth and love so completely in heaven as your spiritual mother ... Through the grace my Father has given her and through me, she will hear your prayers …" Go to http://www.westbowpress.com. Shoebox effort Dave Tettleton, 79, plans for Christmas pretty much year round. Tettleton is the Baton Rouge collection coordinator for Operation Christmas Child, a division of the Samaritan's Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The community is invited to an Operation Christmas Child meeting Lousisiana/Texas regional organizers at 10 a.m. Sept. 8 at Florida Boulevard Baptist Church. Operation Christmas Child project takes months of preparation to provide shoeboxes filled with school material, toys, and necessity hygiene and clothing items to more than 8 million underprivileged children in 116 countries. "You'd be surprised at what you can fit in a shoebox," said Tettleton, a member of Florida Boulevard Baptist who has worked with led the area nondenominational effort for about 10 years. The shoeboxes often include letters of encouragement, organizers said. "This may be the first glimpse of God's love that they have ever had in their lives," Tettleton said. "We leave material with them — booklets in their language — that tells the story of Jesus." The Baton Rouge area filled two 18-wheelers with about 14,000 shoeboxes last year, Tettleton said.

Lauren Conrad today unveiled her third annual bikini boot camp plan at LaurenConrad.com just a few days before the unofficial start of the summer season. Aside from Lauren excited about the warm weather, Lauren once again reminds us there are stict rules to follow if one wants to get into a bikini.
Lauren says a change in lifestyle is in order so one does not think this is a diet they're on, it is the goals one has to keep their focus on. Lauren also wants participants to drink more than a lot of water going as far as to remind themselves via an alarm clock, and using a little lemon to make water go down.
Lauren too says to pick an exercise to do 6 days a week with a day of rest while picking meals & snacks from different categories to eat. Foods off limits are white bread, large portions of cheese or fried foods, candy, baked goods, ice cream, soda or sugary drinks, and no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed.
Foods one can eat are oatmeal, eggs, bananas, yogurt, salads, mushrooms, chicken, salmon, chicken vegetable soup, hummus, sweet potatoes, turkey, and grapes in certain recipes. Exercise options for 6 days are treadmill, yoga, kickboxing, pilates, spin class, kettle bells, and leg workouts while 7 day movement include crunches & planks.
Even if it's not just bikini season one is getting ready for, this bikini boot camp can be very useful when taking wedding photos if them or someone they know are getting married. Lauren also today has a special Tuesday 10 about the wedding images one should be taking to last a lifetime.
What a winter it has been, so cold, icy, snowy, and all non-stop where even spring was very doubtful for quite some time into as late as April 30. Now that's all behind us and temperatures are staying warmer for a longer consistent amount of day, it is officially time to enjoy the outdoors and yes.... the summer.

The Senate confirmed White House adviser Michael Froman as the new US trade representative Wednesday, just as Washington launches free trade talks with the European Union.
Some key Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, bucked President Barack Obama and opposed Froman for his refusal to agree to be more transparent in trade deals, particularly the huge Pacific trade agreement currently under negotiation.
Warren joined several fellow Democrats in the Senate and House in voicing alarm to Obama over the Trans-Pacific Partnership, warning of the poor transparency record of the Office of the US Trade Representative.
She sent a letter to Froman last week asking whether he would make negotiation texts available to the public, but she said he declined to do so.
The lawmakers vowed to resist efforts to give Obama "fast-track" trade promotion authority -- which would let his team negotiate a deal, with Congress then voting up or down without the opportunity to make changes.
Froman, who succeeds Ron Kirk as trade representative, was confirmed by a 93-4 vote, with three Democrats including Warren and independent Senator Bernie Sanders voting "no."
Froman is a former managing director at Citigroup, which received a $45 billion government rescue package in 2008 during the financial crisis, and his tenure at the too-big-to-fail bank has raised eyebrows.
He joined the Obama administration in 2009, serving as deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs.
On Monday, the European Union and the United States launched long-awaited formal negotiations to create what would be the world's biggest ever free trade area, with the first round of talks taking place next month.

Available for Adoption:
4 Years
Est. 40 lbs.
Lab/Shepherd Mix
Pet ID Number: CXSadie
How to adopt
All pets over 12 weeks are spayed or neutered.
We give a free spay/neuter certificate to those adopting kittens or puppies.
| We have 3 labs we need to find a new home for. Sadie, Bentley and Madden. Up until last May, they lived primarily inside and
slept with us every night. Last May we had a human baby and sadly the labs, as sweet as they are, had too much energy to stay inside with such a small baby and a small house trying to learn to crawl and walk. They have been outside now for almost a year. It breaks our hearts to not be able to provide them with the attention they deserve since we have started our
family and now our baby is unable to go and play in his backyard because with all 3 of them he gets knocked down.
This is Sadie, approx. 40 lbs, submissive and sweet. She would do well in a household with other dogs. She is potty trained and spayed. She is an in/out dog, likes to be outside. Up to date on vaccinations. Adoption Fee of $65.00. Please call me with any questions. Tiffany at 639-8798.

Wendy Wax, author of Ten Beach Road, is the keynote speaker for the Georgia Writers Association's upcoming Red Clay Writers Conference on November 12, which focuses on returning to the basics of writing. Wendy has over a decade and a half of writing experience and has published nine books. Who better to discuss the joys and challenges of writing than a successful author with hands-on experience? Wendy will share the lessons she has learned over the course of her writing career and what she believes are the basics of writing.
Her most recent novel, Ten Beach Road, is a story about three women, complete strangers, who have three things in common: One, their entire life savings has disappeared in a Ponzi scheme; two, they are left with co-ownership of a ramshackle beachfront mansion; and three, they each have something to hide. Faced with inner conflict and the physical and financial challenges of restoring what little they have left, these women must realize their inner strength, which has been buried under years of complacency, fear, and doubt.
Throughout Wendy's career, she has produced novels such as the aforementioned Ten Beach Road, Magnolia Wednesdays, and The Accidental Bestseller; her romantic fictions include Single in Suburbia, Hostile Makeover, Leave it to Cleavage, and 7 Days and 7 Nights. Wendy describes her novels as "women's fiction" about "women discovering who they are and what they're made of." Readers, both male and female, often empathize with Wendy's protagonists and the emotional, often humorous challenges these women face.
Before she became a published author, Wendy studied journalism at the University of Georgia and returned to her hometown in St. Petersburg, Florida, to finish her degree at the University of South Florida. After graduation she hosted a radio matchmaking show in the Tampa Bay area, Desperate and Dateless; also included on her resume are positions with Tampa PBS affiliate, WEDU-TV. She did not begin writing her first novel until her oldest son was two years old: "I chalk this up to post-pregnancy hormones and lack of sleep! I had no idea what I was undertaking."
Wendy developed a love for reading and writing at an early age, beginning when she forced a neighborhood friend to teach her to read before she even started elementary school: "Books have always been my greatest escape. I've joked that I could read a book a day if my family would just leave me alone long enough. There were times in my life (before marriage and children) that this was exactly how I dealt with adversity."
Many aspiring authors don't see past getting that first novel published: "Like most people, I thought that once I was published everything would miraculously sort itself out and I'd simply sail into bestsellerdom and all kinds of publishing happily-ever-afters. Sadly, this was not the case. (And rarely is.)" This experience led Wendy to write her novel The Accidental Bestseller: "It's a story about four writers, critique partners for a decade, who help each other survive the publishing industry. It's a very real look at what it is to be a writer today."
Wendy strongly encourages aspiring writers to find critique partners, either through an association like the women inAccidental Bestseller, or friends who can offer constructive criticism and an objective opinion. Both aspiring writers and published authors will enjoy the Red Clay Writers Conference for its inspirational and invaluable workshops led by authors such as Wendy Wax who have successful careers, are willing to share their experiences and techniques, and who wish to break down the writing process and get back to the basics.
