WASHINGTON, March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez issued the following statement about the February 2014 Employment Situation report released today:
"The nation's economic recovery continued in February, with the creation of 175,000 new jobs (162,000 of them in the private sector). For four years uninterrupted now – 48 consecutive months – private-sector employment has grown, to the tune of 8.7 million new jobs. The unemployment rate remained essentially unchanged from January, a full point lower than it was a year ago and below 7 percent for the third straight month following 60 straight months above it.
"February's numbers were resilient, despite the weather. We're moving in the right direction, but this recovery can and must move more quickly, changing more lives and helping more people realize their highest dreams. President Obama believes in opportunity for all – in giving everyone who's willing to work hard the chance to succeed. That's why, for example, he recently took action to launch two new manufacturing innovation hubs that will lead to good jobs. That's why he continues to fight for comprehensive immigration reform that will grow the economy by $1.4 trillion over the next decade. That's why he directed us at the Labor Department to issue $150 million in Ready to Work Partnership grants that will help the long-term unemployed find work.
"The president's budget for fiscal year 2015 provides a road map for accelerating economic growth and expanding opportunity. He proposes major new investments in infrastructure – because upgrading our roads, ports and power grids not only puts people to work right away, it facilitates long-term growth across the economy. The Labor Department budget empowers people, helping them acquire the skills they need, to ensure we're connecting ready-to-work Americans with ready-to-be-filled jobs. The president is also proposing a new Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative that includes a multibillion-dollar effort to strengthen our community colleges and promote apprenticeship programs, which are a tried-and-true workforce development strategy.
"The president and I are eager to work with Congress on these initiatives and others. But absent leadership from Capitol Hill, the president will take action wherever and whenever possible to help more families secure their foothold in the middle class. This will be a year of action – to accelerate this recovery and create more opportunity for more people."

2011 Top Prospects
Jordan Dunatov
- OF - 2011 - Scottsdale, AZ - USA
Dunatov is a outstanding all around athlete even at 6-5, 190 lbs. He ran 6.8, threw 90 mph from the outfield and hit the ball with power and bat speed. He'll be playing his college ball at Oregon State.
Corey Embree
- OF - 2011 - Moberly, MO - USA
Embree is a big country strong 6-3, 220 lbs but is a surprisingly agile athlete who ran 7.07, threw 94 from the outfield and 87 from the mound. His power is his big tool, though, which he showed with a 425+ foot game home run.
Alex Gebert
- RHP - 2011 - Grapevine, TX - USA
Gebert has a nice 6-4, 190 lb pitcher's build and a heavy fastball that touched 88 mph. His 72 mph curveball flashed hard bite at times, too.
Isaac Geisinger
- OF - 2011 - Kansas City, MO - USA
Geisinger is a very strong 6-0, 210 lb athlete with a nice overall package of tools, including quick hands with the bat, 6.9 running speed and enough arm strength to throw 85 mph off the mound.
Grant Davis
- SS - 2011 - Newport Beach, CA - USA
Davis has very smooth middle infield actions that probably play best at second base. He's a left handed hitter with a quick line drive swing and consistent swing mechanics.

ATM alarm aggravates shoppers at Glengarry
Relevant offers
An Invercargill takeaway owner's ears are still ringing after suffering through a howling ATM alarm next to his shop for more than four hours.
Glengarry Takeaways owner Kerry Morton said he and his customers had to put up with the piercing sound from a Westpac ATM for four and a half hours on Sunday.
"It was still going when I closed up my shop at 8pm," he said.
His customers, waiting for their fish and chips, had to put their hands over their ears, Morton said. 'It was driving them crazy and they were asking me how I put up with it," he said.
The alarm went off after an elderly woman withdrew money from the ATM about 3.30pm.
"She came in looking concerned because she thought she set it off," Morton said.
Police eventually showed up about 90 minutes after the alarm started and Armourguard arrived at the scene as well, he said.
However, both left with the alarm still shrilling.
"I've then called the Invercargill City Council noise control but they didn't do anything or want anything to do with it," he said.
"If it was me having a party in my home with a loud stereo or my dog barking, they'd fine me."
The council should know who was responsible for the machine and hit them with a noise pollution fine, Morton said.
"All this does is send a message to anyone in Glengarry to smash the machine because no bugger will attend it if they want a bit of extra cash."
Invercargill City Council environmental health services manager John Youngson said the ATM should be linked to a security company.
In this case, it was Armourguard, which is also contracted by the council to deal with any noise complaints in the city, he said.
"When the council received a call about the alarm, we contacted Armourguard, who were already responding," he said.
An Armourguard employee confirmed the company attended the alarm on Sunday evening but were unable to turn the alarm off.
"The issue was our company did not have a code to deactivate the alarm," he said.
This was compounded by the monitoring company, Secom Guardall, insisting there was no audible alarm for the ATM.
"They didn't believe there was an audible alarm," the Armourguard employee said.
Eventually, a technician was sent by Secom, he said.
A monitoring manager at Secom declined to comment.
Westpac Southland business development manager Murray Heath said the bank contracted Secom Guardall to deal with alarms at its ATMs.
The bank would investigate why it took so long for the alarm to be deactivated, he said.

Just as millennials are beginning to get comfortable with this new follicle-based fad, science has to go and get in the way.
In an Australian study published last week in the journal "Biology Letters," researchers asked women to examine four types of photos - men with beards, clean-shaven men and men with light and heavy stubble - and rate their attractiveness.
What they found was that, when beards were rare in the photos, women found them to be more attractive. When they were plentiful, the opposite was true.
Translation ... "(The study) suggests that beard styles are likely to grow less attractive as they become more popular," explained Rob Brooks, who was part of the research team, in a piece he wrote for theconversation.com.
The study's findings are noteworthy, given that the beard seems to be the trend du jour among many 20- and 30-something men. The beard has become as ingrained in hipster culture as flannel, skinny jeans and a disdain for a Seattle-based coffee company.
From unkempt to closely cropped and everything in between, young men seem to boast more cheek and chin hair than an episode of "Game of Thrones."
The "Duck Dynasty" clan has shot to fame thanks in no small part to their extravagant facial foliage. Last year's Boston Red Sox and their Fear the Beard movement marched all the way to a World Series title. And last summer, Procter & Gamble, which owns Gillette, acknowledged razor sales were falling, as did Energizer, which said its Schick men's razor sales were off 10 percent. In a recent interview with Esquire Magazine, meanwhile, the actor Tom Hardy compared cutting off his beard to removing his testicles.
Facial hair is a historically fickle beast, a trend that has ebbed and flowed with the decades. During the "Mad Men"-era 50s, the Don Drapers of the world wouldn't think of arriving at the office without a fresh shave. During the free-wheeling '60s and '70s, however, the biker beard became a staple.
At various times, moustaches, mutton-chop sideburns and goatees have also made appearances. Today, the infatuation seems to be with the beard, which may be about a desire for a return to the nostalgic and an association with the blue-collar culture.
The stubbled and totally unshorn tend to agree, having grown attached to their beards - and what they represent. "How people present themselves reflects what they believe about themselves, and what they want people to believe about them," says Chris Gorney, a principal at Second Life Studios, after an appointment to see his bewhiskered barber, Dane R. Casey.
"I think there's a kind of authenticity - a grunge, a grit - that comes with beards. People who don't give a damn are the kind of people that people who do give a damn want to be like."
Bearded Shannon Schlappi began growing his now ample beard about three years ago, during a No-Shave November event, and has mostly had it ever since. He points to a shaving mishap suffered in the early stages of his beard growth as evidence of its popularity with others. While attempting to give his facial hair a trim, he cut too deep and was forced to shave the beard off entirely.
Upon seeing him afterward, his daughter began to cry. "It was pretty clear to me that was something that needed to be part of my day-to-day life," he says now. "So I wouldn't have my daughter weeping."
What do you think? Have we reached "peak beard"?

When he met bureaucrats for a rare, direct interaction, tech-savvy Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked them to shake off outdated practices, telling them how he ran his successful election campaign efficiently from a single device — his iPad.
Modi suggested quickening the pace of a sluggish bureaucracy by harnessing information technology in a country that produces the largest number of software engineers globally. The bureaucracy — often described as India's "steel frame"— is buckling up. For instance, information and broadcasting secretary Bimal Julka is looking at funds for similar hand-held devices for his team.
India's elite bureaucracy is a hub of merit, attracting the brightest students who have to take one of the world's toughest competitive exams. Yet, laden with
archaic rules, it is blamed for poor execution. Tardy official clearances have held up investments worth billions of dollars, considerably slowing down India's economy.
On Friday, Julka held a meeting to follow up on the new PM's tips, asking his team to begin shifting a bulk of the officialdom online. "There are clear categories of files which are allowed to be processed online," Julka said.
Some bureaucrats HT talked to said they were energised by Modi's approach to governance. For instance, Modi sought to know why Tamil Nadu grew only one type of crop now when an 1830 gazetteer recorded a wide variety of food commodities there. Highlighting the need for practical decision making, Modi also said that, in Gujarat's Dangs district, the British had built forest guesthouses every 20 km, because that is the distance an elephant can travel in a day.
Modi's model holds promise of a shake-up. The urban affairs ministry has issued a circular, asking staff to be punctual, clear files and to trash those that have lost relevance. It has issued a 24-point agenda to follow through.

This extremely silly Toho picture from 1973 is a blast whether you love or loathe Godzilla movies. Its original Japanese title is Gojira tai Megaro. It is simply goofy beyond belief! The people of Seatopia, who live under the ocean, decide that it's time they controlled the surface world as well, launching an all out assault on surface dwelling humans. Their main instrument of destruction is Megalon, a large monster with big spike-like arms and a star-shaped projection on his head. Godzilla comes to the rescue, assisted by a man-made robot named Jet Jaguar that can change its size to become gigantic. Together, Godzilla and Jet Jaguar teach Megalon and the Seatopians a lesson they'll not soon forget.
This is a GREAT episode and includes some of the BEST host segments ever, including the "Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy" sketch, the `Bots get new arms sketch, the `Bots argue over whose monster is the "coolest" sketch, and the HILARIOUS translation of the Jet Jaguar fight song during the final host segment. The scene of Godzilla dropkicking as if flying through the air during the opening titles in later seasons of the show comes from this episode. This is a must-see episode!
503- SWAMP DIAMONDS (plus short: WHAT TO DO ON A DATE)
This is a 1955 Roger Corman "classic" starring Beverly Garland and Mike "Touch" Connors before his fame with Mannix.Read more ›
For those unfamiliar with MST3K, the premise is that an innocent man, Joel Robinson, has been shot into space by a mad scientist, whose sadistic experiment is to subject Joel to bad movies and see how long it takes for him to snap. Joel is smart enough to construct some robot friends, in particular Tom Servo (who looks something like a living gumball machine) and Crow T. Robot (who looks something like a robotic crow). This trio watches the movies together and maintain Joel's sanity by mocking the films. Later, Joel would be replaced by Mike Nelson, but the concept remained the same.
The four movies in the tenth collection are another set of really rotten films:
Godzilla vs. Megalon is pretty awful, even by Godzilla movie standards. When nuclear tests disrupt the undersea kingdom of Seatopia, it retaliates by sending oversized cockroach Megalon to destroy the surface world. When opposed by robot Jet Jaguar (at least that's what it sounds like), another monster joins Megalon, while Jet Jaguar is allied with Godzilla. What follows is a tag-team wrestling match with four monsters. At least Godzilla vs. Megalon has the excuse of being an obvious kids' movie. The others in the set have no such justification.
Swamp Diamonds is an early Roger Corman film. I'm willing to admit that Corman is not as bad a moviemaker as some say (his Poe movies are typically good), but this is one of the movies that cemented his "bad" reputation.Read more ›
The latter is one of the most tragically awful things ever slapped onto celluloid, and Mike-n-bots are in PHENOMENAL form on this one. The presence of Alan "the Skipper from Gilligan" Hale, Jr., his sister Barbara "Della Street from Perry Mason" Hale, and Steve "Lucky from The Wizard of Speed and Time" Brodie as main protagonists provides a wealth of ridicule fodder, due primarily to their utterly generic handling of utterly generic dialogue in utterly generic scenes.
Add to the above the aggressively repulsive hick characters that populate the "diamond-n-spider-meteorite" storyline, and a wildly lame titular monster, and you have all the ingredients for some of the most inspired heckling ever to issue forth from the First Row.
The riffs on this one are classic, from "Packers???" to "Johnny Crappleseed" to "PUDDING!!!!" to "Don't act with your tongue, Alan...". Giant Spider Invasion lives in the same lofty environment that houses Mitchell, The Clonus Horror, Wild World of Batwoman, Manhunt in Space, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Attack of the Eye Creatures, Hamlet, The Screaming Skull, Pod People, It Conquered the World, and Manos: Hands of Fate. Grab this one with confidence... it's one of the MST3K keepers.

Might want to meter off the sky and bump it +.7 or +1 during the capture when you have a dark middle ground and foreground. -1 EV for this scene is not the ultimate choice.
There is nothing wrong with your camera, and there is nothing wrong with a little underexposure as long as you don't go overboard and know how to fix it in post if you do. I'm not saying you made any mistakes, just making some generic statements about exposure.
Although this would print fairly dark as is, I'll venture a guess that the pixelated sky would clean up in print. The view on screen is a little misleading.

Help! DS has become quite the goober at bedtime and nap time. He will pull himself up on top of his dresser (it's anchored to the wall) and then unplug his monitor and sound machine.

He can't unplug it from the wall as that's behind his dresser and has an outlet cover. He's unplugging he wore from the monitor.

How are you mamas discouraging climbing onto dressers and any tips for getting him to leave the monitor alone.

My hunch is he's doing this because we've told him we will check on him one time and that's it until morning. The last week at nap time and bedtime, he's been talking upstairs and stating all kinds of reasons he needs us (a drink, to blow his nose, one more kiss, etc.

Thanks in advance from one tired mama!

I've never posted before so i just thought i would give it a try. my son was born feb 2014 at 36 weeks so he was a preemie but he never stayed in the nicu since he was a healthy lo. we are bilingual and we try to stick to one language when we communicate with ds, but he's still not talking. he does his baby talk and can only say "daddy". he understands us when we tell him to put his shoes on and wave bye/hi. he does say "hi" but when we tell him to say wave "bye", he would wave and still says 'hi'. other than that i don't think he says anything else! he doesn't even know how to say yes or no! it's frustrating since he seems to throw a lot of tantrums these days due to not being able to tell us what he wants. is this normal?

he was slow when he came to crawling and walking also. didn't walk until he was about 15 months!

 I know there has been a lot of talk about sleeping woes, but I couldn't find them. We transitioned him from the crib to a bed in a different room. He used to go to bed at 7:30 and now he is not going to bed until 9:30-10:30...some nights can take an hour for him to get to sleep. I have tried leaving the room and he climbs out of the bed and comes to our room. Several times! We have tried crying it out. Doesn't work. It takes him a LONG time to fall asleep, but once he is asleep, he sleeps through the night. I have to wait until he is asleep before I can leave the room. He has been a good sleeper for so long now. I would rock him for 5 minutes and put him in the crib awake and he would fall asleep on his own. Now, this bedtime thing is completely different. Thoughts??

Has anyone had experience with their toddler having croup? My 2 year old has it and I've never seen a child so miserable. He got a steroid shot today and it barely helped so they recommended oral meds at night also. Not only is the coughing a nightmare but he has not stopped screaming for hours (which is probably making his throat more sore). The screaming is worse than the cough at this point. He can't sleep for more than 30 minutes without a cough attack. It's a true nightmare. Any advice will help! :-(

So the noise sensitive question got me to thinking about my 4 yo. That homeboard isn't very active so I thought I would ask here. Sorry, this may be long. My 4 yo is an extremely smart little boy. He was delayed language wise but seems to have Caught up since his 2yo sister (who is very verbal) began talking. His pediatrician still recommended a speech eval but we haven't gotten it yet. He was delayed as a baby with gross motor but caught up. He is extremely attached to me, but friendly with others and strangers. He has OCD tendencies which I discussed with his doctor already and we decided to just watch him. So here is the question, he has become increasingly sensitive to loud noises, especially public restroom toilets and hand dryers. He will scream and freak out when he hears them. This weekend he even asked me not to flush a public toilet. He freaks out and cries in the shower now and says the water is hot even though it is cool. He also cries over everything, even little things. My sister had even noticed his behavior and thinks that it is worse. He starts preschool in the fall, but has always stayed with my mom while I work. I don't know if this is just a phase or if this is something I should be concerned about. Sorry this is long, just wanted others opinions.

Either way we plane on bring the car seat as we will need in for traveling on the trip but don't know if it's best for the plane?

My son is a really good boy 95% of the time. He suddenly started (2 weeks ago) letting the littlest things put him in the worst mood. He will start screaming "no!" at us in a very bratty way over and over and over. I don't even know what or why he's saying no. I do know he wants a reaction. I've tried ignoring, time outs, light spank on bottom, etc. and these punishments upset him a lot but it still continues. it's happening about 2x/day. He does feel bad after because he will say "I'm Sorry" and "I love you" a lot after he snaps out of the mood. It's just sad to see him so moody because it's not the real boy I know. Any suggestions? Hoping someone can relate. Thanks in advance!

First let me say this is not a potty training post. My son couldn't care less about being in a dirty diaper and I feel like he never will. Lol.

My current concern is our overnight diaper situation. We've always done a size up at night and that seems to have worked up until recently. My son is a little dude and just started wearing a size 5. The size 5 results in leaks overnight so we switched to a size 6 at night. We bought pampers baby dry and have had nothing but leaks so we switched back to swaddler which is what we use during the day. Of course that resulted in leaks too.

I'm so over having my so yell from his bedroom "oh no, pee pee" and being soaked. No child should have to wake up that way.

Suggestions?

The tape is what really makes this a great item; it also why it gets only 4 stars from me. There are two small pieces of tape that help keep the cover stuck on to toilet seat. This is great for multiple users, but not so great if you don't get the cover on the toilet properly after removing the paper covering the tape. I've had several instances where another part of the cover gets stuck to the tape and then I'm stuck trying to unstick it and get it back on the toilet seat all while trying to keep my kids from touching anything in the stall. The only solution I've found is to uncover one piece of tape, put it down on the toilet seat, then uncover the other side and stick that down and hope for the best. Not really ideal.
Also, once you sit on the cover, it becomes VERY difficult to get the tape off the seat. Perhaps it's too strong? I've had several times where I've removed the seat cover and the tape is stuck firmly onto the seat still. The last thing I want to do is have to scrape stuck on tape off a public toilet seat with kids in tow.
All in all, this is a great product, but it isn't quite perfect.

Chapter OneJESUS' COMING IS ANNOUNCED
Week 1, Day 1
* John 1:1-18; Luke 1:30-38; 1 John 1:1-3
Because he is God, Jesus has always existed. This week, we will explore Jesus' true identity— before and after his earthly birth—and the announcement of his coming. We will discover the real Jesus and know how we should respond to him.
Setting the Scene
Many believe that the apostle John, writer of the Gospel bearing his name, had first been a disciple of John the Baptist, who had pointed him to Jesus. Then John must have become an intermittent disciple of Jesus, for Scripture details another time when Jesus called John along the Sea of Galilee, where he had returned to his fishing trade with his brother, James, and their father, Zebedee. This time when Jesus called, John and James left everything, father and boat included, and followed him (Mark 1:19-20). At this point Jesus had already turned water into wine (John 2:1-11), cleared the Temple the first time (John 2:13-22), and been visited by Nicodemus at night (John 3:1-21). This calling of John and James also occurred after Herod had imprisoned John the Baptist (Luke 3:19-20), Jesus had spoken with the woman at the well (John 4:1-26), and Jesus had been rejected at Nazareth (Luke 4:16-30).
So John and his brother James became two of Jesus' original twelve disciples and, along with Peter, enjoyed a special relationship with Jesus. At times Jesus called just the three of them to see an important event, such as his Transfiguration.
John, therefore, was an eyewitness to Jesus' life and teachings. In his letter to the church, John wrote: "We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands" (1 John 1:1, NLT). As one who had seen Jesus up close, John wanted everyone to understand Jesus' true identity.
We learn in John 1:14 that "the Word" refers to Jesus. Theologians and philosophers, both Jews and Greeks, used the term "word" (in Greek, logos) in a variety of ways. In the Hebrew language of the Old Testament, "the Word" is described as an agent of creation (Psalm 33:6), the source of God's message to his people through the prophets (Hosea 1:1-2), and God's law, his standard of holiness (Psalm 119:11).
For Greeks, "the word" could mean a person's thoughts or reason, or might refer to a person's speech (the expression of thoughts). As a philosophical term, logos was the rational principle that governed the universe, even the creative energy that generated the universe.
In both the Jewish and Greek conceptions, logos conveyed the idea of beginnings, as in Genesis where the expression "God said" occurs repeatedly (Genesis 1:3ff). John may have had these ideas in mind, but his description shows he was speaking of Jesus as a human being he knew and loved, who was at the same time the Creator of the universe, the ultimate revelation of God, and the living picture of God's holiness, the one who "holds all creation together" (Colossians 1:17, NLT). Jesus as the logos reveals God's mind to us.
Clearly, John wanted everyone to know Jesus was not merely a man. Jesus was the eternal, all-powerful God who existed before time, created everything, and gave life.
Getting Personal
What qualities of Jesus convinced John that Jesus was divine, God in the flesh? Why is Jesus' divinity crucial to the Christian faith? If Jesus had been just a very good man, his life and death would have provided a great example of how a person should live. We could honor him and learn from his lifestyle. If Jesus had been only a great human teacher or orator, we could be motivated and inspired to work and achieve. But a great moral leader and powerful speaker can't save us from our sins, can't change us on the inside. Jesus can. As the divine Creator, he has the power to make us new.
* John 1:1-4, 14, NLT
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.... 14 So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son.
Thank God for sending his Son to earth. Ask him to deepen your understanding of Jesus as fully divine and yet fully human.
Setting the Scene
This week's passages reveal that Jesus was born as a baby. The divine Creator humbled himself and entered the human race as a flesh-and-blood human being. The apostle John knew Jesus man-to-man, having lived, eaten, conversed, and traveled with him. John had heard Jesus teach and heal, and had seen him suffer and die. According to John, "the Word became human and made his home among us" (John 1:14, NLT).
But no one was closer to Jesus than his mother, Mary. In this passage, an angel approached this startled teenager and explained that she would have a baby, but not just any baby, "the Son of God" (Luke 1:35, NLT). God would come to earth supernaturally but through natural means: conception, pregnancy, and birth. Jesus was (and is) both divine and human, the God-man. No one knows exactly how that works, but we see the evidence. Jesus was fully God and fully man—at the same time.
Imagine what Mary must have been thinking and feeling at this moment. Angel visits didn't happen every day! And Gabriel's message was even more startling—a virgin conceiving, by the Holy Spirit, and birthing God's Son. Yet Mary responded with faith and submission. No wonder she had "found favor with God."
Getting Personal
How does knowing that Jesus was human help you? If you were in Mary's place, how would you have responded to the angel's announcement? When do you find it difficult to submit to God's will? Jesus was a living, breathing, and feeling human person. He wasn't a divine being dressed up like a human; he wasn't acting a part. Jesus fully took on flesh and experienced firsthand all that we experience. Thus, the Bible tells us, he can understand us and fully sympathize with us (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus, the Creator, became a baby, a child, an adolescent, an adult—with all of the human physical, psychological, and emotional qualities, but perfect, without sin. He knows us in every way. He knows you. And get this—he loves you and wants only the best for you. That's a truth almost as amazing as Gabriel's announcement.
Week 1, Day 2
* Luke 1:30-38, NLT
"Don't be afraid, Mary," the angel told her, "for you have found favor with God! 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!" 34 Mary asked the angel, "But how can this happen? I am a virgin." 35 The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. 36 What's more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God." 38 Mary responded, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." And then the angel left her.
Meditate on Luke 1:37: "Nothing is impossible with God" (NLT). Pray for faith like Mary's to believe God in every situation.
Setting the Scene
The divine Son of God, the true Light, came to the earth he had created but was rejected by most—but not everyone. All who put their faith in him, back then, today, and in the future, are reborn—spiritually, divinely transformed. John's letter affirms that Jesus is the "Word of life" and "eternal life." The salvation message is simple: Jesus, the God-man, entered human history, revealing sin and showing the way to eternal life. The first response is to recognize our sinfulness and to acknowledge that Jesus is the way. The second is to "believe" and "accept" the Savior.
When the first disciples believed and were regenerated by the Holy Spirit, they entered into a close relationship ("fellowship") with the Father and with his Son. The readers of 1 John had not seen and heard Jesus themselves, but they could trust that what John wrote was accurate. Believers today are like those second- and third-generation Christians. Though we have not personally seen, heard, or touched Jesus, we have the New Testament record of his eyewitnesses, and we can trust that these eyewitnesses spoke the truth about him.
Getting Personal
What convinced you to put your faith and trust in Christ? How does being a child of God open up doors of fellowship with others? When Jesus began his public ministry, many rejected him. Certain leaders felt his teaching threatened their status and authority. Some couldn't believe his claims—to be God in the flesh, their Messiah. Others couldn't get past Jesus' humble beginnings, which hardly befitted a king. Some struggled with Jesus' call to deny self. Today people reject Jesus for those same reasons. A man claiming to be God, the forgiver of sins, and the only way to heaven—that's tough to swallow. But now, just as then, many do believe and receive eternal life. The word savior means "one who saves, rescues, or delivers." Jesus the Savior has delivered you from your enemy, Satan, rescued you from sin's power, and saved you from sin's penalty. You're forgiven, free, and on your way to heaven.
Week 1, Day 3
* John 1:10-13, NLT
He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
* 1 John 1:1-3, NLT
We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. 2 This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us.
Thank God for the gift of salvation through Jesus. Ask God to open your eyes and your ears to his work in the world, so that you can proclaim what you "have actually seen and heard."
Setting the Scene
Yesterday, we read John's declaration of his fellowship with the Father and the Son (1 John 1:1-3). Today's reading takes the relationship even closer: father and child. Those who believe in Jesus are "reborn" by God and become his children.
Family lineage and heritage were important to John and his fellow Jews. The Jews prided themselves on being God's chosen people through whom the whole world would be blessed. They knew, of course, that a person was Jewish by birthright. But they may have assumed that being born Jewish would also mean they automatically were God's children. Not so fast, John says. First, becoming a member of God's family is open to all who believe in Christ. Second, being of a specific race, nationality, family, or religion does not guarantee a spot at God's table. Only those who "believe" and "accept" are "reborn" into this family.
These days, many assume they have a relationship with God because they are relatively good people, attend church, or have a Christian family history. But God's family membership comes by faith alone. Each person is responsible for his or her own relationship with Christ.
The family analogy goes much further. As members of God's family, we have Jesus as our brother (Romans 8:29) and all other believers as our brothers and sisters. We're accepted; we're affirmed; we belong.
Getting Personal
How does knowing you are God's child affect your day-to-day choices? According to this passage, how did you acquire "the right" to become God's child? As God's children, we have a heavenly Father who cares about us and watches over us. We have an older Brother who is with us and who is interceding for us. We have the Holy Spirit inside us who comforts, guides, and leads us. We have brothers and sisters who encourage, teach, and assist us and hold us accountable. We're not alone. We should relate well to other believers. This may seem like a tall order, but we don't pursue these relationships in our own power. With God's help we can be his kind of people.
Week 1, Day 4
* John 1:12-13, NLT
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. JESUS RELATES Week 1, Day 4
Talk with God the Father about your relationship with your earthly father. Ask him for a greater understanding of what it means to be his child.
Setting the Scene
John the Baptist (the "John" referred to in verse 15) acknowledges that Jesus existed long before him. From Luke 1:26, we learn that Elizabeth, John's mother, was six months pregnant when Gabriel made the grand announcement to Mary. So John was born at least six months before Jesus. But John knew that Jesus was much more than his blood relative through Mary; Jesus was the eternal Son of God, the Messiah. Truly Jesus is far greater than John and Moses and any other Old Testament prophet or king. John submitted himself to Jesus and sent his followers to him.
Because Jesus is God, he is perfect in every way. He is the perfect example, so we should look to him for an example of how to live. He is the perfect teacher, so we should listen to him and learn about God, morality, relationships, the meaning of life, and the future. He is the perfect sacrifice, fulfilling the requirements of the law, becoming sin, and dying in our place, so we should rest in him alone for salvation.
The apostle John affirms this by saying that Jesus was "full of unfailing love and faithfulness" and that he had given his people "one gracious blessing after another." That is, John had never found Jesus lacking in any way. John's description invites us to trust Jesus' ability to meet our needs. All believers receive Christ's blessings, but nothing can deplete Christ. No matter how much we receive of him, he keeps on giving. We don't need to seek any other source of spiritual power but Christ.
Getting Personal
What gracious blessings have you experienced because you know Jesus? What other spiritual sources have you been tempted to consider recently (in the media, in books, in conversations)? The author of Hebrews gives the secret to running the race of life. He says, "We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith" (Hebrews 12:2, NLT). Jesus is the initiator and the perfecter of our faith. He is all we need. What helps you keep your eyes focused on Christ?
Week 1, Day 5
* John 1:14-17, NLT
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son. 15 John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'" 16 From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.
Thank God for the "gracious blessings" of his unfailing love and his faithfulness. Ask him to expand your vision of his glory and keep your focus on Jesus.

Two police personnel were suspended for allegedly manhandling a couple during a protest by ad-hoc teachers, officials said in Etawah on Sunday.
Sub-Inspector Ishtiyaq Ahmad and personnel Shailendra have been placed under suspension for misbehaving with and manhandling a couple during the protest by shiksha mitras on Saturday, said SSP Rakesh Pradhan. The additional SP has been asked to probe the incident.
Scores of shiksha mitras were injured as the police used batons to disperse ad-hoc teachers, who took to streets in different parts of the state, to press for benefits similar to permanent employees. Over 35 people were arrested as they blocked rail traffic at several places and indulged in brick batting.
In Etawah, the teachers, who were demanding "equal pay for equal work", blocked rail tracks at the Farukkhabad crossing. When the police attempted to remove them, they indulged in brick batting in which several people were injured.

Minsters say no to nano centre funding
The government has rejected academics' calls for funding for a new nanotechnology centre, but has accepted that more research is needed to allow it to implement a sensible regulatory structure.
Responding to the proposals in research it commissioned itself, the Department of Trade and Industry's Office of Science and Technology did agree to a review of safety regulations to assess the impact of the "science of the very small" on public health and the environment.

Lightsaber Class: Feel the Force, Star Wars Fans
'Your nerdhood, you must embrace!' might be how Yoda would describe a real-life lightsaber class for jedis-in-training. AP's Haven Daley learns how to use the force in San Francisco. (Feb. 21)
fountain mister: I do recall Obama and Biden bringing up McCain's record in the military and POW in a negative light. Clinton wants to say national security is an issue and she understands why the American people are concerned??? Are you f'ing kidding me....BENGHAZI???? You threw your own men under the bus and they got run over. Here is the difference between Clinton and Trump. Trump is saying what America needs to be hear in term of the priority problems. Clinton is saying the same things Obama has been saying the last 7 plus years and is even admitting she will just be an extension of his policies with a few of her own thrown in. Both candidates worry me but Trump worries me less and I think he will fill his cabinet with much better people then Clinton.
