Are Spells Real?
Apology Needed?
Are There Still Vigil Masses?
Is Mary's Assumption in the Bible?
Fighting Temptation
Q: My husband and I, both Christians, are wondering about the legitimacy of spells cast by someone who practices witchcraft. Knowing that a particular woman has cast spells on us, how does that fact affect our lives?
We have prayed about this many times, but we have not found any solution. Should we ask a priest to bless our home? Several very strange things have happened to us in the last six years.
A: Spells and curses have only the power that people are willing to give them. If you allow them to have power, then they will influence your life. If you deny them power, they cannot affect you.
It would probably be a good idea to limit your contacts with the woman you suspect of casting a spell on you. The same goes for contacts with her friends.
If you have not had your home blessed, that would be a good idea, but this is not necessary to protect you from spells or curses. It simply acknowledges by whose values you intend to shape your lives.
When St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Colossae (modern-day Turkey), he addressed their fascination with angels, with good and evil spirits. The Colossian Christians wondered and debated where Jesus Christ fit in, according to this way of looking at the world.
St. Paul assured them that, having conquered earthly powers and principalities, Jesus was leading these away in his triumphal procession (see 2:15).
Paul urged them to grow in virtue, to be faithful to their family obligations and to help other Christians to grow in faith. "And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (3:17).
According to one count, this fall's TV lineup offers five shows that touch on the occult in some way.
Allowing the occult to have power over us is another way of rejecting the freedom in which we were created, the freedom of God's sons and daughters.
Apology Needed?
Q: I am a Christian but not a Catholic. It seems to me that all the Christian Churches have at some time been cruel to non-Christians, to people whose lives looked very different to Christians.
Has the Catholic Church ever extended an apology to peoples who were abused in this way?
A: As part of the Jubilee Year celebration, on March 12, 2000, during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, Pope John Paul II made a specific request to God for forgiveness for these seven categories of sins: those committed in the service of truth, those against fellow Christians, against Jewish people, against indigenous peoples, against women, against the unity of the human race (racism) and against fundamental human rights.
At www.vatican.va/jubilee_2000/ jubilee_year/eventi_en.htm, if you click on "March," you will get the live link for the prayers and the pope's homily on this extraordinary occasion.
By searching for "Memory and Reconciliation" at the same Web site, you can find the official document giving background for the Jubilee Day of Forgiveness.
In 1997, Luigi Accattoli published When a Pope Asks Forgiveness (Alba House), a collection of 94 texts in which Pope John Paul II asked forgiveness for past sins of Catholics toward 21 groups of people.
In preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ, all Christians should try to respect local customs, but that is not always possible. For example, Jesus Christ suffered, died and rose for the salvation of all peoples. That fact must challenge the caste system in India or any suggestion that God loves a particular social or racial group more than other groups.
The Good News of Jesus Christ leads people to accept the freedom in which they were created. Doing so will challenge some practices that a given culture considers normal.
Q: I see the term "vigil Mass" in liturgical texts. What does it mean? I am a Lutheran who is trying to understand more about Catholicism.
A: Although a Saturday afternoon or evening Mass may sometimes be called a "vigil Mass" for Sunday, the Sacramentary (the book from which the priest reads the Mass prayers) uses this term only for Masses before the Birth of John the Baptist, Saints Peter and Paul and the Assumption of Mary. It also has vigil Masses for Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.
All these vigil Masses have distinct readings and prayers, as compared to those used on these feasts or solemnities.
Q: Where in the Bible does it say that the Mother of Jesus was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life? If there is no biblical text to support this belief, why do Catholics have this feast in their liturgical calendar?
A: The Bible makes no explicit reference to Mary's Assumption (celebrated on August 15), but neither does it contradict this belief. The Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches celebrate this as the feast of the Dormition [Falling Asleep] of Mary. According to Michael Walsh in his Dictionary of Catholic Devotions (HarperSanFrancisco), this feast was celebrated in the East in the fourth century and began in the West three centuries later.
The prayerful meditation of Jesus' followers upon God's words and actions eventually led Christians to conclude that the woman who was born free of Original Sin also did not experience the decay of death.
The Preface for the Assumption addresses God the Father and says, "Today the virgin Mother of God was taken up into heaven to be the beginning and the pattern of the Church in its perfection, and a sign of hope and comfort for your people on their pilgrim way. You would not allow decay to touch her body, for she had given birth to your Son, the Lord of all life, in the glory of the incarnation."
The Church's prayerful reflection is not unanimous on whether Mary actually died before the Assumption. The Orthodox and Eastern Churches say that she did but that her tomb was soon discovered to be empty. Many Roman Catholics have presumed that she did not die, that she went from life on earth directly to life in heaven. Pope Pius XII carefully did not commit the Church on this issue when he solemnly defined in 1950 the dogma of Mary's Assumption.
The Christian community's prayerful reflection on Scripture is always needed. The Bible has no specific teaching about embryonic stem-cell research, but Christians who have read and prayed over the Bible have concluded that "raising" embryos for this purpose is immoral.
Although slavery was clearly practiced by some Christians in the years immediately after Jesus' death (see 1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 6:5-8, Colossians 3:22 and Titus 2:9), Christians later concluded that it could not be reconciled with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Scripture was given to a faith community and is always best interpreted within that faith community.
Q: I am a 16-year-old Christian who does not feel entirely protected from temptation. When I recite the Rosary at eight p.m. each day, I still feel that something is tempting me. I want to be a good Christian! What can I do to protect myself from any temptation that tries to lead me away from God?
A: You cannot protect yourself from all temptations, from all suggestions that God's ways are too costly or too difficult. Every sin is a lie because it presents itself as some type of shortcut around God's ways but, in fact, turns out to be a dead end. You can always pray that God will help you to resist temptations.
In fact, if you recognize every temptation to sin as some type of lie ("Do this and your life will be wonderful"), then your repeated decision to live in the whole truth about God, yourself and others should help you to do what you know is right.
Saints became saints not because they were never tempted but because they consistently tried to live in the whole truth about their lives. In time, that whole truth became their normal way of thinking and acting. The whole truth eventually makes far more sense than any of the lies leading someone toward sin.
Saints also confessed their sins after they yielded to temptation. Repentance may be difficult but is possible as long as we live. Praying the Rosary is good at any hour of the day.

CRANSTON � �The journey through federal and local jails has continued for ex-Central Falls Mayor Charles D. Moreau who now has been transferred from the Adult Correctional Institutions to the Plymouth County House of Correction in eastern Massachusetts.
Documents filed in U.S. District Court in Providence show that Moreau, 50, will remain in the county jail south of Boston until he appears in federal court on Feb. 28 seeking to have his two-year prison sentence vacated.
Inmates in the federal prison system refer to the frequent transfers to jails as �diesel therapy.�
Plymouth County has long been a weigh station for mobsters and other notorious criminals from Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Among the notables who have spent time there are James J. �Whitey� Bulger Jr., ex-New England mob boss Francis ��Cadillac Frank,� Salemme and Bobby DeLuca, a capo in the Rhode Island based Patriarca crime family.
Moreau is jailed with Ernest �Hobo� Wallace, known as the right-hand man of Aaron Hernandez, the ex-New England Patriot charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors have said that Wallace was with Hernandez the night Odin L. Lloyd was murdered last June in an industrial pit near the Hernandez mansion in North Attleboro.
Moreau resigned from office in September 2012 and agreed to plead guilty to charge of federal program fraud for accepting gratuities from a contractor friend who got a lucrative no-bid contract to board up vacant and abandoned houses and buildings in Central Falls.
In return, Moreau had a furnace installed in his home in Central Falls and extensive work done to his second home in Serenity Acres in Lincoln.
Moreau has spent the past year in a federal prison in Cumberland, Maryland, about 500 miles from Central Falls. He was brought to the ACI�s Intake Service Center in mid-Jaunary pending a hearing in federal court.

AUSTIN (November 13, 2012)--Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst are calling on the Texas Legislature to impose drug testing for welfare and unemployment-benefits recipients.
Perry and Dewhurst appeared at a rare joint event Tuesday at an Austin glass company to voice support for a bill pre-filed ahead of the upcoming 2013 legislative session that would tie welfare and unemployment benefits to drug-testing while banning using public funds to buy alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets.
It would also strengthen job-training requirements.
Perry said Texas can no longer afford to ignore "a behavior that would make it virtually impossible for someone to enter the workforce or finish school."
Dewhurst said he's heard from a slew of businesses that turned away people they would have otherwise hired because of failed drug tests.

ATHENS: Greek police have been left baffled by the mysterious appearance of a two-metre long crocodile spotted lounging near an artificial dam on the tourist island of Crete.
"Clearly crocodiles do not occur naturally here, so the owner probably wanted to get rid of it," a local police official told AFP yesterday.
The reptile — which is about two metres or 6.5 foot long — was sighted by a team of local fire officers who were on patrol near Rethymnon, on the north of the island.
Crocodiles are not native to Europe.
Two reptile experts from the Heraklion Natural History Museum are due to arrive today to help capture the animal.
The official said that police were also planning on encircling the dam with a fence to protect those living nearby.
While the local police said there was no sense of panic in the region, the Athens Press Agency, Ana, said that the authorities have been concerned by rumours of the presence of a second crocodile.

Citizens' group organizes to back full CPB funding
A professional campaign firm has begun setting up a Citizens' Committee for Public Broadcasting to coordinate grassroots support for "full funding" of CPB. Proposed and organized by a New York consumer rights lawyer, Donald Ross, the committee has startup funding from about five major public TV stations, Ross says. The initiative is the latest in a long line of citizen interventions to support or protect public broadcasting. Separate plans for a big-name commission of prominent citizens to resolve "serious issues" in the field's future were announced by CPB Chairman Henry Cauthen two weeks ago, but have been delayed, according to CPB. The citizen's committee's handful of staffers, meanwhile, is starting to recruit field activists and organizers out of the downtown Washington branch office of Ross's firm, M&R Strategic Services.

LAKE PLACID — The Sertoma Junior Golf Tour held its weekly tournament on Thursday at Placid Lakes Country Club.
The tournament attracted 45 youngsters, ages 5-18, who had to deal with the oppressive heat and humidity as well as the long and difficult Placid Lakes course.
Ben Tubbs shot an impressive 75 to win the boys 16-18 age group, while Kade Damboise placed second at 82, Lee Hinote shot a 94 and Jake Pendergrass came in with a 100.
"That's a real good score by Ben," said Sertoma Junior Golf Tour Director Andy Kesling. "That's probably one of the best rounds of the summer considering how long this course plays and how smoking hot it was out there."
Coleman Nelson finished first in the boys 14-15 age group with a score of 85, Seth Hamilton was second after carding an 89, Sam Callahan shot a 90, Jhett See fired a 95 and Scott Hamilton finished with a 99.
"Coleman is playing well this summer," said Kesling. "There's some talent in that division they just have to keep working on their games."
Jackson Griffin won the boys 11-13 age group after beating Will Redding in a playoff after both players shot 48 over nine holes.
"Jackson and Will had to go to a playoff and Jackson made a par," Kesling said. "That's the second week in a row that Will has lost in a playoff, but playing under pressure will make him a better golfer."
Beckham Donovan and Billy Carol tied for third at 50, Zach Doorlag shot a 52, Avery Hurst and Josh Bible tied at 63 and Colby Gadsden and Chance Larsen tied at 70.
Rebecca Kesling rolled to her second consecutive win after shooting a 38 to win the boys/girls 6-8 age group. Brody Hall and Nevaeh Bonecutter tied for second at 40, Devin Wortinger shot a 42, J.R. Redding had a 45, Parker Rapp came in at 47 and Manasseh Haney fired a 55.
"Rebecca is making some huge strides," said Kesling. "She has gone from shooting in the 60s to a 38 and that's great.
"I'm more nervous than she is and it's fun to see her enjoying the game."
In the girls 14-18 division, Megan Crews was first with an 86, Meghan Griffin came in second place with an 87, Chloe Nelson shot a 97, Hannah Revell came in at 114, Dannielle Roque shot a 115 and Alex Hornick finished with a 145.
"That's a pair of good scores by Megan and Meghan," said Kesling. "Placid Lakes is tough with undulated greens and they are both coming on strong."
Jack DuPriest won the boys 9-10 age group with a 47 for nine holes, while Parker Griffin placed second with a 49, Nolan Rasnake came in third at 51, Lane Revell shot a 55, Jaxson Davis had a 57 and Ian Frasier had a 64.
"That's a very competitive division," Kesling said. "There are a lot of good players and it's interesting to see who comes out on top each week."
Alyssa Jordan won the girls 11-13 age group with a 42, Ashley Engle placed second at 44, Samantha Payne carded a 74 and Lily Daum had an 83.
"Alyssa and Ashley have been battling all summer," said Kesling. "With three events left in the season it's going to come down to who plays the best."
The next stop on the Sertoma Junior Golf Tour is set for Thursday at Highlands Ridge North.
"We always look forward to playing at Highlands Ridge North," said Kesling. "It's a fun course to play and the staff always takes care great care of us."
The Sertoma Junior Golf Tour summer season has flown by with only three events remaining on the schedule,
"It's hard to believe it's almost August," Kesling said. "Most of the age groups are still up for grabs and it's going to be interesting to see who comes out on top."

6. Michelle Pfeiffer, "Batman Returns" (1992)
Michelle Pfeiffer's icy blonde take on Selina Kyle/Catwoman -- who'll be reimagined by Anne Hathaway in this year's "The Dark Knight Rises" -- is regrettably the only female on the list. (Though I should say she was very nearly joined by Maria Bello in "A History of Violence"). Pfeiffer's frisky feline is one of a few things that really works in Tim Burton's overt follow-up to his 1989 original. It's a thin-line balance of mind-splitting lunacy, crystal clear resolve, girlish romance and embittered vengeance, and the actress tip-toes the razor's edge throughout, having fun while exuding torment. It'll be interesting to see where the character goes next.

Arctic drill ships leave Seattle for Alaska
Two vessels fitted with drilling rigs left Seattle Wednesday for Alaska.
The Kulluk and Noble Discoverer and support ships are headed first to Dutch Harbor. Once open water allows, the rigs will move to the Beaufort and Chukchi seas for offshore drilling.
Shell Oil prepared the ships in Seattle to explore for oil and natural gas. New oil discoveries could feed the trans-Alaska pipeline.
Coast Guard vessels escorted the blue and white vessels through Seattle's Elliott Bay, maintaining a 500-yard safety zone.
Environmental groups, including Greenpeace, oppose the drilling because they fear an oil spill in ice-choked ocean waters.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2008
Bordeaux Red Blends from Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
The wine has a dense, very dark color. On the nose, it offers a fine array of aromas in which red fruit, blackberry and blackcurrant mingle harmoniously with notes of violet and cedarwood. Quick and powerful on the palate, it releases silky, creamy tannins. Château Mouton Rothschild 2008 will be one of the most successful vintages of the early years of this century.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "A rich wine, opulent in character. There is power here, with richness of fruit and texture. It is both serious side and exuberant, with its bursting black berry fruits. Cellar Selection."
Wine Spectator - "Pure, unadulterated Cabernet, with blackberry, black currant and fig fruit seamlessly held together by mouthwatering acidity, fine grained grip and backed by a long, smoldering finish of tobacco and iron. Dense but rounded, with the length to last a decade or more in the cellar. Best from 2013 through 2022."
The Wine Advocate - "The final blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot exhibits tell-tale black currant liqueur, incense, charcoal and floral-like characteristics. The oak is pushed to the background, one of the major improvements director Philippe Dalhuin has made at this estate. Full-bodied, deep and impressively endowed, it is a deep, rich, less massive effort than either the 2010 or 2009. This gorgeous Mouton will be drinkable in 4-5 years and age effortlessly for three decades.
Rating: 94+"
International Wine Cellar - "Deep, bright ruby-red. Flamboyant aromas of cassis, roast coffee, chocolate, minerals and smoky oak. Large-scaled, concentrated and sweet; so seamless today as to seem a bit monolithic. But this powerfully structured Mouton is almost too big for the mouth. Finishes with big, broad tannins and outstanding palate-staining persistence. One of the stars of the vintage."

Chateau Mouton Rothschild Winery
Château Mouton Rothschild, a Premier Cru Classé from the Bordeaux region and one of the world's greatest wines, is owned by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The estate includes 205 acres of vines at Pauillac planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Merlot (11%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (2%).
In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton. In 1922, his great-grandson Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) decided to take the future of the estate into his own hands. His 65 years at Mouton bear witness to the strength of his personality, his spirit of enterprise and his sense of innovation.
In 1922, he was the first to introduce château bottling. In 1926, he built the famous Grand Chai, the majestic 100-meter first year cellar, which has become a major attraction for visitors to Mouton. 1945 marked the start of a fascinating collection of works of art, created every year for the Mouton label by famous painters. In 1973, after a twenty-year battle, Baron Philippe obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a First Growth.
In 1988, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild succeeded her father Baron Philippe. She has become the guarantor of the quality of an illustrious wine whose motto proudly proclaims, "First I am, second I was, I Mouton do not change." View all Chateau Mouton Rothschild Wines
About PauillacView a map of Pauillac wineries (pouy-YACK)
Home to three premier cru (first growth) chateaux, Pauillac is a leader in quality Bordeaux. Chateaux Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild are situated within the Pauillac appellation. Sandwiched between St.-Estèphe and St.-Julien, Pauillac wines are big - known for their combination of elegance and power.
Notable FactsThe gravel-based soils of Pauillac are key in creating the structured wines produced there. Like most of Bordeaux's left bank, Cabernet Sauvignon is the leading grape. Some typical descriptions of wine from Pauillac include: concentrated, full-bodied, powerful, firm tannins, ability to mature. Not all of the Pauillac wines are top price collectibles that you can only find at auctions. There are great values in the lower level crus, like the fifth growth, Chateau Lynch-Bages, as well as great Cru Bourgeois such as Chateau Pibran. These wines are more affordable and often mature a bit sooner.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

When you're a fashion maven like Merry, there's absolutely nothing better in the world than getting new clothes. It's a fact. Trust me. The little bit has it embroidered on a pillow somewhere. I'm sure of it.
So when we received the package containing some of vavadog's newest summer collection, Merry was one excited little pug.
The first item in the package was a charming strappy tank dog top in vibrant yellow and orange (real fashion mavens will tell you that orange is the new pink, but try telling the pug that - she's seriously attached to the idea of pink). The tank is made from soft ribbed cotton and has a nice wide opening at the neck; easy for on-and-off in a hurry. It fits well all down the body, if not just a smidge too long for a pug, but most dogs would do fine with it. The finished look is charming - reminds me of the old-style bathing suits from the 20' and 30's.
In a similar fabric, vavadog also included a scarf for Merry (although with a heat-sensitive breed like pugs, this might make a better accessory in the fall, when it's cooler). And rather than having to tie the scarf yourself (and retie, and retie, and retie...), the scarf is cleverly sewn so all you have to do is pull the longer end through a loop, and it rests comfortably around the dog's neck. I do hope vavadog comes out with more scarves in additional fabrics sewn like this for fall. Merry would beg me to get several of them.
The last item was hands-down Merry's favorite. A charming pink polo made from 100% cotton pique mesh, just like the polos used to wear. It's charmingly sewn and finished, ending high on the belly and draping over the lower back. Two little plastic snaps allow you to keep the collar open or fastened all the way up. A tiny green embroidered bone adorns the left collar. Too cute. One caveat, however: this shirt fits large, particularly in the arms. You may want to consider going down a size unless your dog is overweight.
Merry and I were thrilled with vavadog's summer line. We can't wait to see what they come up with for winter!

This giveaway is now closed.
If you have the popular book The Creative Family, or if you read the uber-popular blog Soule Mama, then you've heard of Amanda Soule. She's a mama to four little ones, crafting, homeschooling, and living life up in Maine. And her second book, Handmade Home: Simple Ways to Repurpose Old Materials into New Family Treasures, debuts in bookstores everywhere August 11.
I've been privileged to devour an early copy of the book, and I absolutely adore it. My daughter and I spent a recent cozy Saturday morning together, flipping through the book, marking which ideas we were going to try first, and feeling the stress leave with every turned page.
Amanda's books emanate peace and a joy for life, where she shares her passion for living a creative life with all family members. She's a real mama, but she takes the time for the little things in life, the things many parents miss because they're too busy racing out the door.
Reading Handmade Home inspired me to pull out my sewing machine and get crafting again, and it encouraged me to try those crafts I haven't yet made the time to learn. It's been relaxing and rewarding to just make something, a reminder what a cathartic release it is for me to create.
I got a chance to chat with Amanda recently, and I asked her a few questions about her latest release.
Tsh: Congratulations on the release of your next book! I absolutely adore your first book, The Creative Family, so can you tell readers what this next book is about? How is it different from your first one?
Amanda: Thank you! And thanks for hosting this interview Tsh!
Handmade Home differs from The Creative Family in that it's more of a craft book (it will be found in the 'craft' section of bookstores) than the first (found in the 'parenting' section). It's a little bit more of a practical, hands-on guide to 'making things' for your home – with or for children, and inspired by family home life.
Tsh: I know many mamas feel like they don't have time to create or repurpose things; that it's quicker and easier to just buy something at the store instead. What would you say to those mamas?
Amanda: Buying things at a store is certainly quicker and easier than creating something ourselves, but not always better or more fun!
The beautiful thing about the position so many of us are in — this day and age — is that we have so many choices about how we choose to spend our time, energy and resources. Making things by hand does take a bit more time, surely, but if creating is something that brings you joy, it can add so many other things to our lives besides just the items' given 'purpose.' Making things by hand nurtures ourselves, connects our families, and conserves both financial and environmental resources.
I also find that including so much handmade in our family life helps us to lead simpler, more mindful days together. When we make something versus buying it, we're aware of how much time and energy went into its production, which makes us more mindful of the purchases we DO make. So it does slow us down…but in really wonderful ways, I believe.
Tsh: What's one word you would use to describe the atmosphere in your home?
Amanda: Cozy!
There are lots of natural textiles and fibers to be found in our toys, furniture and tools. Wood, cotton, wool. Lots of 'soft' places to be found for reading, knitting, crafting, drawing, creating, and snuggling. I have this silly goal of having a quilt within arms reach from any spot in the house! We're also blessed with lots of natural sunlight and the smell of bread baking almost non-stop. In the winter, the woodstove is always keeping things extra warm.
We're quite home-based as a family – we homeschool, and Steve and I both do most of our work out of the house now, so the coziness translates into the people too. In a fairly small space, there are six people living and working and playing together. Sometimes it does indeed feel cramped and crowded, but in those moments especially, we really try to remember "cozy!"
Tsh: I know you get asked all the time, "How do you do it all?", and your answer to them is, "I don't do it all." What don't you do? What are some things you wish you knew how to do, but haven't yet learned?
Amanda: Oh, there are SO many more crafty things I want to try! I really want to learn how to spin. I would love to work with clay (I did once upon a time and love, love, loved it). And so many more things! I know the time will come for those in later years, and as my family grows. Right now, what we're doing as a family, and what I'm doing in my own creative time – it feels just right.
Tsh: I hear you're writing your next book. Any clues on what this one's about?
Amanda: Yes! I've actually be working on the third for a little while now. AND…I am very happy to tell you that this one includes the writing of my very favorite Papa writer! Steve (a.k.a. SoulePapa) and I have been having lots of fun working together on this book project, and I'm so thrilled at the direction it's heading in with his involvement. We've still got lots of work left to do – it's scheduled for release in 2011.

In China, fox animal symbolism revolved around the afterlife. Lore has it that a fox sighting was thought to be a signal from the spirits of the deceased.
Fox animal symbolism takes a turn of intelligence in the Celtic realm, as the Celts believed the fox to be a guide, and was honored for its wisdom. The Celts understood the fox knows the woods intimately, and they would rely upon the fox as their guide in the spirit world.
In Japan, the fox was considered one of the rain spirits, and a messenger of Inari the rice god. Here the fox also symbolizes longevity and protection from evil.
In Native American lore, fox animal symbolism deals with two interpretations. One perspective (Northern tribes) observes the fox as a wise and noble messenger. The other (Plains tribes) views the fox as a trickster playing pranks, or worse – luring one to demise.
Overwhelmingly, cultural consensus on fox animal symbolism deals with:
cunning, strategy, quick-thinking, adaptability, cleverness and wisdom

The fox encourages us to think outside of the box and use our intelligence in different, creative ways. The fox also brings us a message to try to approach our circumstances differently that we normally would. Be aware of some of our habits, and try a different angle of action.
The fox also a reminder that we must utilize all of our resources (seen and unseen) in order to accomplish our goals. Sometimes this means calling upon some unorthodox methods.
Furthermore, the fox is a sign to be mindful of our surroundings.
Phenomenally effective shapeshifters and incredibly adaptable, the fox beckons us to not make too many waves but rather, adapt to our surroundings, blend into it, and use our surroundings (and circumstances) to our advantage.
Other generalized fox symbolic meanings deal with
It should be obvious from this summary that fox animal symbolism goes far beyond what we may see on the surface. On the contrary, the fox has an incredible amount of knowledge and wisdom to share with us if/when we are willing to be still for the teachings.
Spend some meditative time with the spirit of the fox – odds are you will be amazed at the powerful insight this regal creature has to offer you.

Your Field Guide to Spotting Medusa
You want to find Medusa? Wow, that's a seriously bad idea. She's a Gorgon, a horrible monster with the snakes for hair. If you look her in the eyes, you're immediately turned to stone. If you really want to find her, look for a crowd of suspiciously realistic statues, surrounding a particularly slimy sea cave. Of course, legend says that she was beheaded by the hero Perseus a long time ago, so you might not be able to find her at all.
Physical Description
Sex: Female
Age: Young-ish
Build: Fit
Complexion: Generally a bit pale to grayish due to blood loss (her head is severed)
Hair color: Green (snakes)
Facial hair: Occasionally a beard and tusks
Scars/marks/tattoos: Headless (or, more often, bodiless)
Jewelry and accessories: Do snakes for hair count?
Clothing: None
Armor: She is a bit scaly
Type of weapon: Her transfixing stare, which turns living things to stone
Typical Companions
Other Notes
Known hangouts: These days, you're most likely to find Medusa's head stuck on Athena's battle gear. The goddess of war uses it to terrify, even petrify, her enemies. Previously, Medusa lived in a cave with her sister Gorgons.

William and Nancy Styler had an affinity for water lilies, having started the Victoria Conservancy in Denver, which provided the flowers for gardens throughout the world.
A 2008 report in the Denver Post detailed the couple's passion for cultivating the plants, but both state and federal court documents paint a different picture of the husband, who once told an attorney that his ongoing legal struggle — one that involved him suing a firm he once was a stakeholder in and later his lawyer for overbilling him — made him want to commit "suicide by cop."
William Styler, 65, and his wife, Nancy, 62, face charges of first-degree murder and first-degree conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Nancy Pfister. Pfister, 57, who was found dead on the evening of Feb. 26 at the home that she had rented out to the Styler couple.
A Jan. 24 Facebook posting by Pfister said that "the people that were supposedly taking care of my house Are not doing what they said they would do and they're not paying rent and they haven't paid utilities."
William Styler apparently had his own frustrations in trying to collect a debt of more than $800,000 from a lawyer who once represented him. The once-licensed anesthesiologist had filed complaints in the Denver County District Court, the Colorado Supreme Court Attorney Regulation Counsel and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver. The common thread among his complaints was his futile efforts to collect the judgment. "I found myself so traumatized by the experience," he once wrote in 2009 to the state Supreme Court.
As recently as Nov. 18, William Styler had written the court's Attorney Regulation Counsel — using the West Buttermilk Road home that he rented from Pfister as his address — about his frustrations in collecting money from a Denver lawyer.
That lawyer, John Powell, once had represented Styler in his lawsuit against his former company, Colorado Anesthesia Consultants. The dispute was over software that Styler had a part in creating. The software's purpose: to streamline anesthesia scheduling.
Styler hired Powell in 2005 to aid him in the lawsuit he had filed in 2003 against Colorado Anesthesia Consultants. Styler lost the case, but Powell billed him more than $610,000 for his legal services, Supreme Court documents show.
In turn, in 2010, Styler sued Powell for overcharging him, and Powell — who was placed on two years probation by the Colorado Supreme Court on July 11, 2011, for overbilling Styler and another client — later filed for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy protected Powell from paying Styler the default judgment of more than $800,000, which had been issued by Denver District Court. In December 2012, Styler filed what's called an "adversary action" in Powell's bankruptcy case in an effort to collect the judgment.
Powell did not return a telephone message Tuesday, but his partner, Phillip Theune, said the news that Styler and his wife are murder suspects came as a surprise.
"I spoke to (Styler) a lot," Theune said, adding that he had a number of frustrations with Styler.
Theune said Styler had a "very big opinion of himself."
Yet the legal struggle, based on court documents, had worn down Styler.
"In my opinion, Dr. Styler was unusually vulnerable to being victimized by an attorney over-billing a client," wrote Paul Gordon, a Denver lawyer who filed an affidavit in Styler's adversary action in Powell's bankruptcy case, which was filed in Denver.
The affidavit, dated May 5, 2013, said that "Dr. Styler repeatedly expressed suicidal thoughts. Dr. Styler also told Ed Aro (another attorney) that Dr. Styler was fantasizing about 'suicide by cop.' Dr. Styler expressed his thoughts to his attorneys and others."
Meanwhile, on June 24, 2013, Powell wrote the Attorney Regulation Counsel, which also had been handling another complaint from Styler about Powell. Styler had contended that Powell had violated terms of his probation. Powell contended Styler was getting too close to the situation.
"For a period of time, a person I have good reason to believe was Mr. Styler was personally keeping my house under intermittent observation," Powell wrote. "In fact, his presence was such that my wife told me that she had filed a police report. Further, a neighbor of mine reported that he confronted Mr. Styler as he, Mr. Styler, was rummaging through my home mailbox one afternoon."
Powell goes on to say that he had no obligation to pay the judgment to Styler because the judgment had been discharged by the bankruptcy case.
"It is true that I have stated that I will not pay anything toward the satisfaction of Mr. Styler's judgment," Powell wrote.
For his part, on July 7, 2013, Styler wrote that he had observed Powell's house "to see if Mr. Powell still lived at his address of records."
Data maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation show that neither William nor his wife had a criminal record in Colorado.

Here's the easy way to pick a new name for your bank or credit union…and run into some serious trademark problems while you're at it.
All you have to do is pick something from
Column A and pair it with Column B.
- First Choice Credit Union
- NewView Bank
You can also switch it up and pick something
from Column B first.
- Service Secure Credit Union
- Horizon First Bank
You can even pick just one word from either
column and just go with that!
- Sun Bank
- Advantage Credit Union
Throw in a few terms of your own (how about
"Green?"), and you can easily yield a name list
with a thousand names. "Green Horizon."
"Greencrest." "Greenview."
Reality Check: Just because there isn't already a financial institution in your area — even your entire state — bearing a name you like, doesn't mean you can use it, nor does it prevent a trademark lawsuit.
Bottom Line: Pick a name using words like these and you run the very real risk of getting sued and having to start over. Someone, somewhere is using something similar.

Polarized Beam OperationA polarized beam option has been developed for BT-7, utilizing 3He polarizers immediately before and after the sample. This gives BT-7 full polarized beam capability for experiments where a guide field (only) is applied at the sample position to control the direction of polarization, and thereby the cross sections. The system is fully operational. The 3He itself can be inverted to achieve the alternate spin state before or after the sample. An adjustable guide field at the sample position is under computer control to manipulate the polarization direction perpendicular or parallel to the scattering plane, or in an angular range in the scattering plane. Spin Flippers are no longer used.
An polarized beam option with the 7 T magnet, at relatively modest fields of 2 T and below, is also availble for BT-7.
Please note that optically pumping the cells takes ~1 day to get good 3He polarization, and other instruments use the polarizers as well. Hence the use of the polarized beam option must be requested and scheduled well in advance of an experiment.

ANTIOCH -- It's not quite a fire sale, but the city is looking for a developer willing to swoop in and build homes on a vacant fire station property.
The city-owned lot, near the corner of Deerfield and Via Dora drives, has been a popular spot for vandalism, illegal dumping and trespassing in recent months. The former station itself, a portable building and garage used for training, was the target of a suspected arson in early January, Contra Costa Fire District officials said. The fire caused an estimated $10,000 in damage, officials said.
Antioch's request for proposals calls for up to two market rate homes that fit the character of the neighborhood.
"It's been on the back burner for a while, and it's been a negative for the neighborhood," City Manager Steve Duran said. "Hopefully, a couple of nice homes can go there."
The city agreed to the subdivision plans with Ponderosa Homes in 1985, with one of the conditions being that a temporary fire station be built. A permanent facility was built in the late 2000s, and the fire district turned over the property to the city in 2011.
The property is zoned residential, thus nothing else is planned to be built there, Duran said.
A handful of residents who live nearby said Friday that they hadn't heard about the city's plan, though it would be good to get rid of what has been a magnet for bad behavior.
While most said they were fine with homes being built on the site, a couple said the property would be better suited as a small park for young children in the neighborhood.
An aboveground fuel tank that the fire district used was removed from the property, and soil testing was conducted last month, with no evidence of a major release found.
Interested developers will be able to tour the site Wednesday, and proposals are due to the city by Sept. 15. Interviews would then be held by city staff.

Johns Hopkins University
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who was Johns Hopkins?
And why the 's'?
Johns Hopkins' great-grandmother was Margaret Johns, the daughter of Richard Johns, owner of a 4,000-acre estate in Calvert County, Md. Margaret Johns married Gerard Hopkins in 1700; one of their children was named Johns Hopkins.
The second Johns Hopkins, grandson of the first, was born to Samuel and Hannah Janney Hopkins in 1795 on the family's tobacco plantation in southern Maryland. His formal education ended in 1807, when his parents, devout Quakers, decided on the basis of religious conviction to free their slaves and put Johns and his brother to work in the fields. Johns left home at 17 for Baltimore and a job in business with an uncle; then, at the age of 24, he established his own mercantile house.
He was an important investor in the nation's first major railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio, and became a director in 1847 and chairman of its finance committee in 1855.
Hopkins never married; he may have been influenced in planning for his estate by a friend, philanthropist George Peabody, who had founded the Peabody Institute in Baltimore in 1857.
In 1867, Hopkins arranged for the incorporation of The Johns Hopkins University and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and for the appointment of a 12-member board of trustees for each. He died on Christmas Eve 1873, leaving $7 million to be divided equally between the two institutions. It was, at the time, the largest philanthropic bequest in U.S. history.

Every dog deserves a loving home. Most of us would like to adopt every dog that we meet until we snap back to reality and realize that it is impossible to do. But there are still many ways to help! Whether it's promoting a rescue shelter, volunteering, adopting a dog or donating items, every little thing helps a dog in need of a forever home.
The dogIDs pack needs your help to improve the lives of all shelter dogs.
Sponsor.Dog, a site where members of the community can purchase and send featured dogs all over the U.S. high-quality dog products, was created with the goal of helping both shelter pets and the actual shelter itself. Once an item is purchased for a dog in need, a portion of that sale goes back to the shelter as a monetary donation. This does two things:
1. Treats and toys sent to the dog help with the dog's training and entertainment while they are in the shelter.
2. Collars, leashes, harnesses and other dog apparel help the dog look their best and find a family sooner.
2. The monetary donations will help keep the shelter running.
What all goes into running a dog shelter anyway?

Payments Startup Garners Big-Name Money for Mysterious Product
Is there room for yet another mobile payments startup?
The latest, San Francisco-based Clinkle, says it has an A-list of backers to prove there is. Only, Clinkle won't say what its offering will actually do.
It must sound persuasive in private. The company on Thursday is announcing a hefty $25 million round of seed funding from investors that include Accel Partners–and that firm's partner Jim Breyer–Andreessen Horowitz, VMWare founder Diane Greene, Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff and PayPal founder Peter Thiel, among others.
"We want to modernize how payments work," said Chief Executive Lucas Duplan, who is 22 years old. "There's no additional hardware for the consumer and a store can set up the system in a matter of minutes."
But what that system is is far from clear. Duplan acknowledged he'll have a smartphone app, but he declined to say exactly how it would be different than competitors', how Clinkle will make money, what privacy protections it has, what rates the company may charge, if there will be rewards or when exactly it would be released.
Clinkle will face competition from an array of companies already duking it out for their share of the gigantic payments space–Square, eBay's PayPal, Intuit, Isis, and recent startup Punchey, to name a few. And other mobile payments offerings have struggled to gain mass acceptance, like Google Wallet and a host of products allowing smartphone users to tap their device against a reader to pay, known as near-field communication.
The company plans to roll the product out initially to college students and later to the general public. Duplan said it is designed to speed the checkout process and provide merchants with better data.
Duplan, a Stanford graduate, got an early blessing for his idea from his academic adviser, John Hennessy, who also happens to be the university's president as well as a Google director. He also raised money from Citigroup board member Bob Joss, a former dean of Stanford's business school and attracted numerous Stanford students to work for him.
He declined to disclose what valuation the new funding gives Clinkle.
Accel's Breyer said he invested his and his firm's money in Clinkle after speaking with college students about their spending habits and because Duplan "has a very unique and compelling vision of how mobile payments can work." But he's not saying what Clinkle is either.
Duplan said he feared rivals could copy his product, which Clinkle has been working on for about two years (the name refers to the sound coins make). "We're in a competitive industry and we're not ready to release details of our product yet," he said.
Whatever Clinkle does, consumers will have to wait a while to find out. Duplan says it'll be released sometime in the next year.

I like IxDA NYC events a lot. But I am also interested ones that are a
bit more visuals- and graphic-design-oriented. Do you go to any
similar NYC events/communities that are more along those lines?
Myriads User Experience team is looking for a passionate and talented
Visual Designer. The Visual Designers role is to 1) work with the
team to define the visuals for Myriads cutting edge mobile software
products, 2) be able to conceptualize and communicate cutting edge
animation/motion for our products, and 3) produce high fidelity
prototypes to convey user experience, visual design and
animation/motion of product to product management and engineering.
Hello All,
I searched through the threads and did not find anything on the topic.
Our application, a web-based CRM, offers a number of reports. When designing
the report, I formatted the reports so that field labels appear smaller and
paler than values. The rationale: focus the attention of people to the data
not to the labels.
Some colleagues of mine strongly oppose this approach and want field labels
to be bold and the same font size as values, claiming that this is a
standard way of doing it.
Hi all,
in my daily work as an interaction designer I mostly create wireframes and
support the visual designers in their creation of the visual design for
these wireframes.
I notice though, that there is a strong dependency on how/if the interaction
will work and the (eventual) visual design.
My question: can an interaction designer create great working interaction
without having visual design skills?
Kind regards,
Rein Groot

"Engaging American Muslims: Political Trends and Attitudes"
American Muslims can be a key factor in the swing states of Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania in the upcoming Presidential elections, according to a new report released today by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU).
April 3, 2012
For Immediate Release
Washington, DC—American Muslims can be a
key factor in the swing states of Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania in
the upcoming Presidential elections, according to a new report released today
by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU). Case studies
conducted in two swing states, Michigan and Florida, found that an organized
and engaged Muslim community can impact election outcomes.
Designed to assist political strategists
and community organizers to better understand American Muslims' political
behavior, "Engaging American Muslims: Political Trends and Attitudes" is
comprised of a decade's worth of data on the Muslim community's political
participation and authored by Farid Senzai, a fellow and director of research
at ISPU.
The study explores the political
attitudes and behaviors of American Muslims and also makes recommendations for
further increasing their political involvement.
The report looks at the American Muslim
community's shift in political party affiliation after 9/11, the effects of
Islamophobia on their engagement, and their opinions on various policy issues. Data
shows that American Muslims have shown an increased interest in politics since
9/11 as they have found themselves under scrutiny. Several factors, including
the passing of the PATRIOT Act and the decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq,
dissatisfied many American Muslims and they shifted party affiliation from
Republican to Democrat in the 2004 and 2008 Presidential elections.
However, the data shows that the Muslim
vote, especially in key battleground states like Florida and Michigan where they
make up a significant percentage of voters in key counties, could be won by
either party. In polling, the American Muslim community is shown to be
concerned with the domestic issues including the economy and jobs, like most
American voters sought by Republicans and Democrats.
According to Senzai, "The Florida case
study suggests that the American Muslim voter community is increasingly
engaged, in part due to the mobilization of Emerge USA and similar
organizations. In a swing state, the community has the potential to impact the
election's outcome." The Michigan case study yielded similar results, with
increasingly active American Muslim voters.
Farid Senzai is a Fellow and the Director
of Research at ISPU. He is also Assistant Professor of Political Science at
Santa Clara University. Dr. Senzai was previously a research associate at the
Brookings Institution, where he studied U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle
East, and a research analyst at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he
worked on the Muslim Politics project. He served as a consultant for Oxford
Analytica and the World Bank. Dr. Senzai is currently on the advisory board of
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life where he has contributed to several
national and global surveys on Muslim attitudes. His recent co-authored book is
Educating the Muslims of America (Oxford University Press, 2009). Dr. Senzai
received a M.A. in international affairs from Columbia University and a Ph.D.
in politics and international relations from Oxford University.

Araim's 'Pro-Arab hogwash'
Amer Araim's letter in the Jan. 9 Walnut Creek Journal ("Arab states shouldn't help Israel with this) badly needs a response.
Araim claims Israel is practicing "ethnic cleansing," but nothing could be further from the truth.
He claims, "As a result of Zionist organizations' terror campaign in the 1940s, hundreds of thousand of Palestinians were forced to leave their homes, and to settle in the Arab countries as refugees." First, the claim of terror campaigns -- the Israelis were fighting for survival in the 1940s.
On Nov. 29, 1947, a U.N. resolution called for the partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states. The Arabs rejected this. On May 14, 1948, the British pulled out of Palestine refusing to enforce the U.N. resolution. On the same day, the Jewish state declared its independence. Merely hours later, the Jewish state was attacked by the Arabs (Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan).
Once the Arabs were defeated, many thousands of Palestinians fled Israel. It is arguable as to how many voluntarily left and how many were forced out. "During the Lausanne Conference of 1949, Israel proposed allowing the return of 100,000 of the refugees" (Wikipedia). The Arabs refused.
The sorry plight of the Palestinians is due to the refusal of any Arab state to take them or even help them. They live in poverty and unhealthy conditions. It is not Israel's responsibility to rescue them.
Unfortunately, there is an inbred Arab hatred of the Jews reinforced by generation after generation of Arabs. There is little hope for any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian/Israeli situation as long as this hatred continues. The Arabs/Palestinians refuse to accept any peace solution offered by anyone.
Don't forget Israel is our only friend in the Middle East. It is vital to our safety and well being.
Too bad Araim is a teacher at DVC, where he can continue to spew out his anti-Israel, pro-Arab hogwash to our impressionable young people. And too bad the Times keeps printing his nonsense.
Ken Hambrick
Walnut Creek
Resents anti-Israel rhetoric
I am offended by the blatant bias and anti-Israel rhetoric that Amer Araim's letters to the editor display on a consistent basis.
His last letter on Jan. 8 only further solidified his position of a dangerous and divisive mindset by falsifying as "fact" the history behind the Arab "right of return." He writes that "Palestinians were forced to leave their homes as a result of Zionist terrorism campaigns." In truth, Palestinians were offered to stay by Israelis fighting for their homeland, and were offered protection. But on the surrounding Arab countries' advice, they were told to leave, and after the Arabs won the war would be able to return as victors against the Israelis.
Of course that didn't happen, and then those same Arab countries refused to accept the newly called "Palestinian refugees." Araim further states that Israel attempted to "ethnically cleans Palestinians." How disgusting and false; more than 1.6 Million Arabs live peacefully with full rights inside Israel proper today; that's something Jews don't experience in Arab lands.
To see his views exposed not only publicly, but to our students locally at Diablo Valley College, is disturbing. As an "adjunct professor of political science" at DVC, I would have hoped our community colleges would require less partisanship and obvious bias when having professors teach our students with our tax dollars. He has an obvious agenda, and providing an unbiased view is evidently beyond his ability.

I wonder if there will be a digital deluxe edition like there was for ac2 and brotherhood. (although revelations didn't get one)

Ubisoft you disappoint me. If no Join or Die edition for US how about something even cooler and release a Gadsden edition for US only?
This is PATHETIC
You ask why? There you go:
- Xbox exclusive. What about PC and PS3?
- Can't get it from everywhere.
- You can't have all the game expensions in the same time!
- PC version will late again
- Still no necessary options we're requested many time. FOr example, removable armor parts... What an important but little thing... Undone.
- You guys at UBISOFT DONT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS. Please remember, Everything you got is from their money.
- Thats a STATUE, not a figure. Figures have moving parts.
And there is more problem...
Assassin's creed brotherhoods controls are ****. They **** up every time i try to do something hard! So do a better controls...
Can we get the DLC missions and multiplayer packs ( Mayan Ruins, Sharpshooter, etc) from PSN as well? In my country we don't have any special editions.
Hey, How come there are no Freedom Edition or Join or Die ed. to the Gamestop.com? there are only on UK and ebgames.au? I got my signature edition from Gamestop.Com, US Come on! I want this game! ANy other alternatives for Asian gamers to order the special editions? The gamestop.uk needs an Exclusive UK address and so is the AU.
Please make it available to us, Ubisoft! There is Ubisoft Singapore, How come the games not coming here? Please advice how to order the Freedom Edition. Thanks
That Pc Deluxe edition is a pretty good deal , gj ubi ill tolerate the ****ed delay this time
Are the Washington's notebook and collection of music no longer available for the Digital Deluxe? I can't find anything about it on the NA UBIShop.
It'd be awesome if the season pass included ALL bonus content coming out for AC3 but I'm guessing it won't. Can anyone from Ubisoft confirm that the Digital Deluxe bonus content is or is NOT included in the season pass???? I just don't wanna spend an extra $15 on the digital deluxe if that content comes with the season pass which I will of course be getting.

WASHINGTON — The shrinking budget deficit and improving economy have led Moody's Investor Services to affirm the nation's AAA credit rating and upgrade the outlook for government debt to stable from a negative watch that could have led to a downgrade.
But Moody's warned that failure to address the long-term budget deficit "could put the rating again under pressure" down the road.
For the short term, however, the tax increases and automatic federal spending cuts that began this year have helped cause a "steep decline" in the budget deficit that warranted removing the negative outlook, Moody's said.
"The U.S. budget deficits have been declining and are expected to continue to decline over the next few years," Moody's said Thursday.
"Furthermore, the growth of the U.S. economy, which, while moderate, is currently progressing at a faster rate compared with several AAA peers and has demonstrated a degree of resilience to major reductions in the growth of government spending," Moody's said.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the 2013 federal budget deficit would be $642 billion, down from $1.1 trillion the previous year.
The reduction would lower the deficit to 4 percent of total economic output in 2013 from 7 percent the previous year. Moody's said that was a greater decline than it anticipated when placing the U.S. rating on a negative outlook in 2011.
The move Thursday by Moody's came after another leading credit rating company, Standard & Poor's, upgraded its U.S. outlook last month to stable from negative as well.
S&P, however, had downgraded the U.S. rating to AA+ in 2011 after the divisive debate over raising the debt limit.

Their love has formed from a series of accidental unfortunate events and has just snowballed from there. Nick and Jess are just one more awkward almost-landlord-threesome away from being dunzo.
We want Will and Emma (Wemma, if you will) to work out more than anybody else but the whole Finn thing, eh, it's just too weird.
Their relationship lives up to the show's name, liars. TBH, we've lost track of the lies these two have told each other and can't even decipher who's on what side anymore. It's just a matter of time until this relationship unrAvels.
Between the sexcapades (and sometimes lack-there-of), accidental farts, overbearing parents and everything in between, how can we believe that these two awk-teens can make it work?
As much as we want this off-screen couple to make love work on the show, there's just no way it's gonna happen when Emily is just using him as a pawn in her grand plan of sabotage.
As many "oohs" and "awws" these two give us, it's just too much weirdness for one couple. They broke up once (ish?) and they'll do it again, unfortch.
Since Don basically can't go 5 minutes without cheating on his lady in some fashion, this relationship was doomed from the start. Since, ya know, it all started from cheating...typical Don.

Habitat homeowner now a devoted volunteer
Published: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 11:20 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 11:20 a.m.
GRAY — Once in need of a home herself, Jenise Jackson now pitches in to help with other Bayou Area Habitat for Humanity homebuilding projects in hopes of giving the gift of homeownership to others.
Working to move dirt at a neighboring hurricane-relief home in Habitat for Humanity's Angel's Place subdivision in Gray, Jackson said she feels blessed to have received her new home in October and wants to say thank you as much as possible.
"It's the least I can to do to give back, to say thanks after so many people came out and helped me," Jackson said.
To qualify for a Habitat home, residents have to log volunteer hours on other Habitat for Humanity projects, earning "sweat equity." Jackson has helped build homes for other families, volunteers in the Habitat ReStore and cleans for out-of-state volunteers.
Her home was built with the help of 2009 Habitat's "Women Build," a project that encourages women to help in the construction.
Jackson was pregnant with her daughter, Ja'Cea, now 3, and living in a trailer when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. Her home was ruined. Mother and daughter bounced from home to home, living with family members willing to take them in.
She applied to Habitat in fall 2008 after meeting another woman who'd gotten help. She was approved in December of that same year.
"To say that I like it is an understatement," Jackson said of home ownership. "It's a miracle. I just want other people to have the same experience."
