SAN JOSE -- Lynbrook High School went silent Tuesday morning to honor a recent alum who was one of six UC-Santa Barbara students murdered by a violent one-man rampage through the campus town of Isla Vista over the weekend.
Principal John Dwyer led the campus-wide moment of silence for Cheng Yuan "James" Hong, a 2012 graduate. Hong and two friends, George Chen and Weihan "David" Wang, were stabbed to death when authorities say 22-year-old Elliot Rodger went on a killing spree Friday night in Isla Vista, ending with him reportedly taking his own life after exchanging fire with sheriff's deputies.
Chen was also from San Jose and graduated from Leland High School; Wang graduated from Fremont Christian High School in Fremont.
Samar Khan, a former classmate of Hong at Lynbrook, remembered Hong as "one of the kindest, most genuine people I have met."
"Everybody strives to be a good person, but they often fall short because they are afraid of the vulnerability that comes along with being too good," Khan said, according to a statement provided to this newspaper. "But in this regard, James was fearless. Go on his Facebook wall right now and you will see dozens of accounts of his generous and kind nature. He never was afraid that his unrelenting kindness might have lead to him being taken advantage of. He helped out everybody he knew, myself included, and never asked for anything in return. He was good for the sake of being good, and it is incredibly rare to find people that genuine."
Dwyer said grief counselors were available Tuesday for any students or teachers needing support.
"Our deepest sympathies are with his parents and we want to offer them as much privacy and sensitivity as possible," Dwyer said.
In tune with Khan's remarks, Hong's Facebook page was flooded with friends' condolences, recollections and expressions of grief and shock that the 20-year-old had been taken away from them in such a horrific way.
"The world has lost someone of great value, someone that can brighten up any room and put a smile on any face," wrote Steven Vuong. "What all of you will read or hear can never truly embody how great of a person he was."
In a rambling 137-page screed before he went on his rampage Friday, Rodger laid out how he planned to lure unsuspecting victims into his apartment using "trickery," and kill them there. But there was an obstacle to the success of his meticulous plan. "The first people I would have to kill are my two housemates to secure the entire apartment for myself as my personal torture and killing chamber," he wrote. Hong and Chen, both from San Jose, were listed on the lease, and Wang, who came from Fremont, was evidently a frequent visitor.
Hong was entangled in a conflict with Rodger as recently as January, according to the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office. Rodger initiated a citizen's arrest of Hong after accusing him of stealing $22 worth of candles. Hong was booked and released, and on Tuesday, a person claiming to be a relative with access to Hong's Facebook account sought to clarify the episode.
According to the relative, Hong and Rodger were engaged in a petty argument where Rodger apparently took away his roommate's measuring cup out of annoyance over his cooking, and Hong retaliated by grabbing Rodger's candlesticks to force an immediate trade.
"In response, Elliot called the police," the relative wrote. "What kind of person would call the police for such a petty argument? ... However my family philosophy is to avoid conflicts as much as possible, and we also wanted to use this opportunity to teach James there are all kinds of people in the world that we would have to get along with. We encouraged James to pay the fine and not aggravate his roommate further."
The relative shared other memories of Hong, such as him taking up vegetarianism in the third grade "not because of religion, but because he cannot bear to harm another living creature."
"James' biggest goal is to make the world a better place through his own efforts. He made the ultimate sacrifice. I plead with everyone to take this opportunity to make the campus a safer place to prevent future tragedies like this, so James can rest in peace knowing he accomplished his dream through his sacrifice."

Putin in Brussels for Russia-EU Summit Focused on Energy, Syria
From Fox News
Russian President Vladimir Putin is in Brussels for a summit with European Union leaders that is expected to focus on energy disputes and the Syrian crisis and could be marred by EU concerns about the Kremlin's clampdown on dissent.
For Putin, the main issue in Friday's talks is EU energy market regulations intended to boost competition, which Moscow has described as discriminatory against Russia's state-controlled Gazprom gas company.
European officials have warned Gazprom that it would have to allow third-party gas producers to use the prospective South Stream pipeline to comply with its new regulations. The EU's Third Energy Package bans suppliers from owning transit facilities such as pipelines.
Gazprom is also facing an EU probe to determine whether it violated competition rules by linking gas prices with prices for oil.
Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign affairs advisor, said that the energy discussions will dominate the summit. He said Putin raised the issues related to the Third Energy Package during his talks last month with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, voicing hope that she and other European leaders would grow more receptive to Russian arguments.
"We hope that the discussion with top EU officials will be constructive and help find a way out of the deadlock," Ushakov said at a briefing.
Russia has argued that South Stream, which will run under the Black Sea and circumvent the US- and the EU-backed Nabucco pipeline project, should be exempt from the market regulations. The pipeline's construction began earlier this month.
Europe gets about two-fifths of its gas from Russia. South Stream, along with the already-operating Nord Stream pipeline under the Baltic Sea, would allow Russian gas to bypass Ukraine and avoid the repetition of supply cutoffs to Europe that came amid Russia-Ukraine pricing disputes.
Alexander Konovalov, the head of the Institute for Strategic Assessment and Analysis, an independent Moscow-based think tank, said Putin is unlikely to win any concessions for Gazprom as the EU's effort to diversify routes of supply has reduced Moscow's room to maneuver.
"The EU already has done a lot to diversify sources of energy supply, and it will continue doing so," he said. "Moscow will find it increasingly difficult to use gas as an instrument of political and economic pressure."
Another hotly contested subject at the negotiations would be Russia's increasingly impatient push for visa-free travel with EU countries. While the EU has argued that Russia's porous frontiers with its ex-Soviet neighbors make visa-free travel impossible just yet, the Kremlin has criticized EU officials for dragging their feet on the issue for years.
Syria is expected to dominate the discussion of international issues.
Russia has backed its last Middle East ally since an uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad began in March 2011, using its veto power along with China at the U.N. Security Council to block three resolutions containing sanctions against Damascus.
But shortly before leaving for Brussels, Putin told a news conference that Russia recognizes the need for change in Syria. That did not appear to herald a change in policy, but added to the perception that Russia regards Assad's days as numbered.
Ushakov insisted that Russia won't change its "honest and principled" position on Syria and wouldn't allow the "repetition of the Libyan scenario," but he added that Putin's talk about Syria with the EU leaders could be "quite interesting."
The EU officials will likely raise issues related to a tough course on dissent Putin has taken since his inauguration in May for a third presidential term, which included arrests and searches of opposition activists and repressive laws aimed against protesters and non-government organizations.
Konovalov said Russia's rights record has adversely affected its ties with Europe.
"The lack of trust doesn't help encourage business activities and develop contacts," he said.

Thank you for helping me get over of one of the worst things I've ever been through.
Thank you for listening to me talk about it, and putting up with the countless stories of what he did to me, and for being patient with me whenever I get depressed over it.
Thank you for always knowing the right thing to say, when I'm upset or doubtful or just in general. You're my hero. You really are.
You've saved me in so many ways. You're my knight in shining armor, picking me up and carrying me over every puddle I come to without my even having to ask you to. (Even when I protest that I'm too heavy and I'm going to crush you.)
Thank you for loving me, and making me believe that love is real.
Thank you for making me feel beautiful, making me laugh, and making me dinner, even after you've spent hours and hours slaving in a kitchen at work.
I'm so excited about all the places we might go together– Portland, Savannah, the beach (any beach. all the beaches.)…
And even though I'm a nomadic soul, full of wanderlust and curiosity about what lies beyond any given horizon, I know that the real reason I'm excited about going to these places is that I've finally found the perfect travel companion.
And all this is just my sappy, hallmark-y way of telling you that I love you, and I'm so thankful for everything you do for me, and I'm glad you're coming with me.
I could never ask for or find anyone better.

If You Had the Powers of Christ, Would You Use Them to Become Wealthy?; Note to the President: God Has a Different Definition of "Fair Share"; We Don't trust the Ensconced Republicans Any More Than We Do the Democrats; Prayer Updates, and Much, Much More
So sorry for the delay in publication… just too tired to think last night…
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…it's about learning how to dance in the rain."
Thought for the day: "The rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less" Exodus 30:15
|"If you abide in My word, you are My disciple indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Jesus the Christ John 8:31-32
Dr. B's three most recent books: "Rural Dentist", "Roman Baptist", and "Rebirth Pains" are available through Amazon.com…
Best of Bones
If You Had the Powers of Christ, Would You Use Them to Become Wealthy?
One of the most perplexing aspects of the ministry of Jesus Christ was His treatment of the poor. While He certainly went out of the way to be compassionate to the disrespected in society, healing the sick, touching and healing lepers, ministering to tax collectors and prostitutes, He never uses His powers to make Himself or others, wealthy.
When He gives the lesson of the widow's mite, He does not return the mite to the widow, He allows her to keep her dignity and contribute to the kingdom. When He is asked to pay taxes He uses the miracle of catching a fish with the exact amount needed to pay the obligation. Another time He is asked if taxes were ethical, He in turn asks: whose image is on the coin and instructs: 'Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is Gods.' He seems never to be interested in our social status or wealth, but in our lives. He does not come into our lives to make us wealthy or powerful, but to make us His. And that, my dear brethren, is the gospel.
Note to the President: God Has a Different Definition of "Fair Share"
The Biblical principal for taxation can be found in this statement: "The rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less" Exodus 30:15 . You see God has a different definition of 'fair share' than the president.
I cannot help but be amused at the President and his buddy, Warren Buffet. Buffet claims he does not pay enough taxes, so the president presents Buffet's secretary at the State of the Union, as a poor woman who pays a higher bracket than Buffet. Well, first of all, if Buffet wants to pay more, why not do so? There is a line on the tax form which will allow him to contribute any amount he wishes.
Second, just how poor is his secretary?
The IRS publishes detailed tax tables by income level. The latest results are for 2009. They show that taxpayers earning an adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 pay an average rate of twelve percent. This is below Buffet's rate; so she must earn more than that. Taxpayers earning adjusted gross incomes of $200,000 to $500,000, pay an average tax rate of nineteen percent. Therefore Buffet must pay Debbie Bosanke a salary above two hundred thousand.
I practiced dentistry for over 33 years earning more than the average salary for my efforts. But my salary never approached 500K, never. So, why not everybody, ever individual, rich or poor pay the same percentage… once? No more double dipping by the government. Eliminate capital gains, death tax, state income taxes; get rid of them all for a consumption and real estate tax at the state and federal levels. Along with the end of the Income Tax, eliminate the IRS. Just three taxes: a national and state sales tax and real estate taxes to fund the budget. But it must be a 'just tax'; with no exemptions, and supporting a balance budget. A fair share would be the same for rich or poor, every citizen be made to pay their fair share as is explicit in the scripture when assessing the temple tax: "The rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less" Exodus 30:15.
Note to the Republican Establishment:
"we don't trust the ensconced Republicans'
The more you side with Bob Dole and the establishment the more we will be drawn to Newt. We don't trust you Washington, we don't trust the ensconced Republicans any more than we do the Democrats (well maybe a little bit more). So step out of the way and let the best man win, or back a reasonable conservative alternative… like supporting Rick Santorum.
Here are a couple more interesting subjects from the State of the Union Speech Tuesday:
Obama rehashes his 'wish list'
Russ Jones and Chris Woodward – OneNewsNow – 1/25/2012 7:30:00 AM
President Barack Obama delivered his third State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The 44th U.S. president took aim on tax equality, but critics said the address was more about his bid for re-election — and media reports describe it as a "wish list" more than a "to-do list."
As expected, the president cast his vision of balancing the scales between the rich and the poor. "Where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules," he stated.
In an interview with OneNewsNow, Congressman Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) says with a national debt $4.6 trillion and 1.4 million Americans unemployed, a class warfare agenda is not what the country needs. "More and more Americans [are] relying on the government for their assistance — that's not progress," says the congressman. "And the president would like us to forget he's actually been president now for three years."
Gingrich: Obama Called for More 'Big Government'
Newt Gingrich released the following statement responding to President Obama's State of the Union address:
We have a crisis of work in this country and tonight President Obama proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth.
Instead, the president described his conviction that his big government is built to last and should be paid for with higher taxes.
But bigger government and higher taxes will not lead to jobs and growth. Bigger government and higher taxes will instead lead to more people on food stamps, a situation which the President and his party defend as a fair outcome.
Here we have to confront the truth about President Obama. Economic growth and prosperity is not really at the top of his agenda. He will always prefer a food stamp economy to a paycheck economy and call it fair.
For the president and a large part of the political class, it's about their power, their right to rule. They just want to take money from Joe the Plumber – the small business people who makes over 90 per cent of the new jobs — and redistribute it to the government bureaucracy and their political friends and allies. That's why so much of that nearly trillion-dollar stimulus didn't create jobs but just went into the pockets of special interests who support President Obama and the leadership of the Democratic Party.
So why not keep buying oil from them, maybe they will finally understand us?
No better example of this exists than in the crisis of American energy. President Obama and his political allies – not of few of whom love living in energy inefficient houses or driving gas-guzzling luxury vehicles – openly admit they want gas prices to remain high so that the rest of America will learn to live more modestly. They think it's good for rest of us. Only recently, the president canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have created countless new jobs and helped America on the way to energy independence because he wanted to appease the far left of his party. And yet not a single word on the Keystone XL pipeline tonight.

Lighter Side
Our Marilyn sends us this:
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day…
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
" The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
.The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

Superintendent bullies Christian student, calls him 'ignorant'
Send an email to Shawano Superintendent Todd Carlson. Urge him to immediately apologize for his unconstitutional and irrational censorship and humiliation of student Brandon Wegner.
January 25, 2012
Dear William D,
School officials at Shawano High School in Wisconsin have censored and punished Brandon Wegner, a 15-year-old, for writing an op-ed article explaining the Biblical view of homosexuality and supporting natural mother-father adoption, according to Liberty Counsel.
After Brandon wrote this article he was pulled into hours of meetings with school administrators and staff, without his parents' knowledge.
Superintendent Todd Carlson told him that the column "went against the bullying policy," and asked him if he "regretted" writing it. According to Liberty Counsel, when Mr. Wegner stated that he did not regret writing it, and that he stood behind his beliefs, Superintendent Carlson told him that he had "to be one of the most ignorant kids to try to argue with him about this topic," that "we have the power to suspend you if we want to" and that the column had "personally offended me, so I know you offended other people!"
Brandon's opinion was a part of an editorial page which presented viewpoints both for and against homosexual adoption, each articulated by a student. After the school newspaper was published in the local town paper, a homosexual in the community complained to the school. School officials then censored Brandon's article, forcing him and his classmates to pull the page out of the newspaper before distribution at the school.
Mathew Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, said "The bullying at Shawano High School is by Superintendent Todd Carlson and the school officials, not the student, Brandon Wegner. The school officials have displayed blatant intolerance of a view on homosexuality held by many people. The school's actions are shocking and unjustified. The superintendent should immediately apologize and stop the bullying."

Pres. Obama's Jobs & Immigration Disconnect in State of Union Address …
What really galled me was Pres. Obama bragging about more than 3 million U.S. jobs created during the last 22 months.
That could have been good news for unemployed Americans.
But during that same period, the Obama Administration issued more than 3 million work visas to new immigrants and other foreign workers (more than half of them permanent).
(Click to read my full blog analysis and join the discussion: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/12978)
What is the point of all that talk in the speech about creating jobs when the federal government is importing so many new workers?
But on our TV screens tonight, the Culprit in Chief in giving away the jobs to foreign workers was not the Commander in Chief giving the speech. Rather, it was the Speaker of the House sitting behind him.
(Read more about how Speaker Boehner could make a big difference: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/12978)
Compared to the heavy-metal terror I used to feel listening to Pres. Bush's State of the Union immigration appeals, Pres. Obama's obligatory immigration section tonight was easy-listening music. The verses and chorus pushing for amnesties for illegal aliens were nearly identical to last year's speech and just didn't sound like he had a thought in the world that any of it could happen.
That is a tribute to the relentless efforts of all of you.

Subject: Fwd: Dr. Williams' prediction – Obama 2012
This is very scary……….everyone must vote!
Dr. Williams' prediction: Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George MasonUniversity .
No Matter What By Dr. Walter Williams
Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't.. I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term. The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.
But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012. The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected.
Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win.
Gas prices moving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins.
The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins.
War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term.
America's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama!
The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.
You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.
And that's why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.
Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American pe ople are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.
Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:
(This makes me ill but I do respect this man… and me and God makes a majority… so pray already!)
1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us,
2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,
3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,
4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,
5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,
6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,
7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his
connections with Big Business and is gaining more every day. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,
8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist,
9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.
— Dr. Walter Williams
It's believed the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Marvelous Marcel relates this story about
Letter from AFA bottom line support Lowe's not Home Depot:
Home Depot digs in, issues statement to AFA
January 23, 2012
Dear William D,
Well, it looks like we got our hopes up only to have Home Depot knock them down.
Last week we reported that Home Depot appeared to be pulling back its support to homosexual activists. We spoke too soon. Immediately after we released our findings, Home Depot said it will continue to support homosexual activities.
Home Depot issued this email statement to AFA:
"We have never changed our commitment to diversity and inclusion of all people, and we have no intention of doing so. Nor have we changed our apron policy or the guidelines for our charitable giving."
It now appears Home Depot is also breaking its own written policies.
Home Depot's online policy states it will not sponsor "…festivals, dinners…fundraisers…," yet it sponsors gay pride festivals and Human Rights Campaign fundraising dinner events.
Home Depot's official spokesperson told AFA that employees are not allowed to wear their orange aprons outside its stores. But according to gay supporter Jordan Humphrey of Illinois, in the first week of 2012, "over 30 orange aprons showed up in Champaign's new-years pride-fest."
Every homosexual organization Home Depot supports has as their top priority the legalization of homosexual marriage.
1. Pray for Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake to make wise decisions regarding his company's direction.
2. If you have not done so, sign the Boycott Pledge at www.BoycottTheHomeDepot.com.
3. Call your local Home Depot store and ask to speak to the manager. You can find the number to your local store here (click "Store Finder" at top of page) or in your local phone book.
4. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday school and church.
Kaybob Lt Col Allen West on Marines and urination:
Allen West (R-FL)
Congressman Allen West(R-FL) on the incident involving Marines
who urinated on three Taliban Corpses. West is known for his
own service, having retired from the Army as a Lt. Colonel.
"I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of
our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any
self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and
Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do
I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater
security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and
hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
"All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks
need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the
101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
"The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under
field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place
a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel
file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their
Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and
Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine
Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
"As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the
Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell."
Dr Ken sends us this warning… really scary on cell phones:
|This cannot be good for your brain!
Marvelous Marcel sends us this:
Prayer Concern… Iranian Pastor Yosef
I could find nothing new on this threat: Warning Sounded Iran May Kill Condemned Christian Pastor in Secret… please keep praying.
"An Iranian pastor facing death a death sentence for refusing to renounce his Christian faith and embrace Islam is expected to spend another year in jail, awaiting an appeal on his death sentence, while government authorities try to force him to convert to Islam.
However, the delay could be a ruse and the Iranian government could kill him in secret, warns the founder of Present Truth Ministries, which was the first to report on Pastor Yosef Nadarkhani's arrest in October 2009."
Prayer Requests and Updates:

Prostate cancer patient Jesse
Cousin Patti (Jamestown Patti) has problem with her eyes and must seek a specialist I saw the doctor in Buffalo and he wants me to have a CTscan of the orbit
of the eye and see him in a week–I'll have the CT scan this Fri (1/27) and
go back on 2/3. He said he thinks the trouble is mainly from the cataract
but he can't really evaluate the back of my eye without the scan. He said
my eyeball is protruding and wants to make sure there is nothing behind the
eyeball. I have to put drops in each hour. I feel like I'm on the right track
with this doctor. The diagnosis he used is proptosis. He said he could
do a surgery where he would stitch the upper eyelid with the lower eyelid
in the corner of my eye but that would be done after the cataract surgery.
I appreciate your prayers and you know you're both in mine.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it politics.. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

This is the sixth installment in a series devoted to explaining Maxwell's equations, the four mathematical statements upon which the classical theory of electromagnetic fields — and light — is based. Previous installments can be found on Spectroscopy's website ( http://www.spectroscopyonline.com/The+Baseline+Column/). Maxwell's equations are expressed in the language of vector calculus, so a significant part of some previous columns have been devoted to explaining vector calculus, not spectroscopy. In the last installment, we were developing the vector calculus tools to express Maxwell's equations. An understanding of the math makes it easier to understand the equations — that's why we're spending so much time on math, rather than spectroscopy. Apologies if this frightens or dismays you, but that's the way it goes. Once again, the numbering of the figures is intentional; it's meant to provide continuity throughout this entire series.
Where We Left Off
Thus, the closed loop in the (x,y) plane actually related to a vector in the z direction. The integral over the closed path is also referred to as the circulation of the vector field.
Now we are ready to generalize our result and consider how it applies to an equation — specifically, one of Maxwell's equations.
Introducing the Curl
for any vector function F in any plane.
But what does the curl of a vector function mean? One way of thinking about it is that it is a variation in the vector function F that causes a rotational effect in a perpendicular axis. (Indeed, "curl F" is sometimes still designated "rot F," and a vector function whose curl equals zero [see Figure 38] is termed "irrotational.") Furthermore, a vector function with a nonzero curl can be thought of as curving around a particular axis, with that axis being normal to the plane of the curve. Thus, the rotating water in Figure 37 of our previous installment has a nonzero curl, while the linearly flowing water in Figure 38 has a zero curl. You may want to refer to the previous installment of this column to refresh your memory of what they look like (1).
Like the fact that curl is not technically a determinant, it is technically not a cross product, as del is an operator, not a vector. The parallels, however, make it easy to gloss over this technicality and use the "del cross F" symbolism to represent the curl of a vector function.
This is one more property of an electrostatic field: The field is not rotating about any point in space. Rather, an electrostatic field is purely radial, with all field "lines" going from the point in space straight to the electric charge.

ASEAN Spells Out its Tourism Priorities Ahead of 2015September 1st, 2012 , Cambodian Business Review
…The countries of ASEAN are now implementing a clear road map to achieve the tourism objectives of the ASEAN Economic Community, due 2015. There will be a new 'ASEAN for ASEAN' campaign and special promotions, along with enhanced strategic cooperation with the growth markets of China, Korea, Japan, India and Australia.
ASEAN Secretary-General Dr Surin Pitsuwan and the ASEAN Tourism Ministries have endorsed the plan, which includes a swathe of initiatives such as the creation of a new website and digital promotional campaigns targeting the mass markets of China and India. ASEAN will also go for niche markets such as experiential, creative, adventure, business, senior and long stay visitors. Further, there will be special promotions for the cruise market. …
The ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan 2011-2015 is the foundation of the ASEAN Tourism Marketing Strategy (ATMS) 2012-2015, adopted by ASEAN Tourism Ministers in January 2012. It is the plan with which ASEAN national tourism organizations (NTOs) seek to achieve the objectives of 2015 and maintain double digit tourism growth, an ASEAN hallmark for much of the last 14 years.
ASEAN destinations attracted 81.2 million visitors in 2011, an average increase of a million visitors each year for the last two decades. …

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Annual Energy Outlook 2016
Full Release Date: End of August 2016
The Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015), prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), presents long-term annual projections of energy supply, demand, and prices through 2040. The projections, focused on U.S. energy markets, are based on results from EIA's National Energy Modeling System (NEMS). NEMS enables EIA to make projections under alternative, internally-consistent sets of assumptions, the results of which are presented as cases. The analysis in AEO2015 focuses on six cases: Reference case, Low and High Economic Growth cases, Low and High Oil Price cases, and High Oil and Gas Resource case.
For the first time, the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) is presented as a shorter edition under a newly adopted two-year release cycle. With this approach, full editions and shorter editions of the AEO will be produced in alternating years. This approach will allow EIA to focus more resources on rapidly changing energy markets both in the United States and internationally and how they might evolve over the next few years. The shorter edition of the AEO includes a more limited number of model updates, predominantly to reflect historical data updates and changes in legislation and regulation. The AEO shorter editions will include this publication, which discusses the Reference case and five alternative cases, and an accompanying Assumptions Report.[1] Other documentation— including documentation for each of the NEMS models and a Retrospective Review—will be completed only in years when the full edition of the AEO is published.
This AEO2015 report includes the following major sections:
- Executive summary, highlighting key results of the projections
- Economic growth, discussing the economic outlooks completed for each of the AEO2015 cases
- Energy prices, discussing trends in the markets and prices for crude oil, petroleum and other liquids, [2] natural gas, coal, and electricity for each of the AEO2015 cases
- Energy consumption by primary fuel, discussing trends in energy consumption by fuel, including natural gas, renewables, coal, nuclear, liquid biofuels, and oil and other liquids
- Energy intensity, examining trends in energy use per capita, energy use per 2009 dollar of gross domestic product (GDP), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per 2009 dollar of GDP
- Energy production, imports, and exports, examining production, import, and export trends for petroleum and other liquids, natural gas, and coal
- Electricity generation, discussing trends in electricity generation by fuel and prime mover for each of the AEO2015 cases
- Energy-related CO2 emissions, examining trends in CO2 emissions by sector and AEO2015 case.
Summary tables for the six cases are provided in Appendixes A through D. Complete tables are available in a table browser on EIA's website, at http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/aeo/tablebrowser. Appendix E provides a short discussion of the major changes adopted in AEO2015 and a brief comparison of the AEO2015 and Annual Energy Outlook 2014 results. Appendix F provides a summary of the regional formats, and Appendix G provides a summary of the energy conversion factors used in AEO2015.
The AEO2015 projections are based generally on federal, state, and local laws and regulations in effect as of the end of October 2014. The potential impacts of pending or proposed legislation, regulations, and standards (and sections of existing legislation that require implementing regulations or funds that have not been appropriated) are not reflected in the projections (for example, the proposed Clean Power Plan[3]). In certain situations, however, where it is clear that a law or a regulation will take effect shortly after AEO2015 is completed, it may be considered in the projection.
AEO2015 is published in accordance with Section 205c of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-91), which requires the EIA Administrator to prepare annual reports on trends and projections for energy use and supply.
Projections by EIA are not statements of what will happen but of what might happen, given the assumptions and methodologies used for any particular case. The AEO2015 Reference case projection is a business-as-usual trend estimate, given known technology and technological and demographic trends. EIA explores the impacts of alternative assumptions in other cases with different macroeconomic growth rates, world oil prices, and resource assumptions. The main cases in AEO2015 generally assume that current laws and regulations are maintained throughout the projections. Thus, the projections provide policy-neutral baselines that can be used to analyze policy initiatives.
While energy markets are complex, energy models are simplified representations of energy production and consumption, regulations, and producer and consumer behavior. Projections are highly dependent on the data, methodologies, model structures, and assumptions used in their development. Behavioral characteristics are indicative of real-world tendencies rather than representations of specific outcomes.
Energy market projections are subject to much uncertainty. Many of the events that shape energy markets are random and cannot be anticipated. In addition, future developments in technologies, demographics, and resources cannot be foreseen with certainty. Some key uncertainties in the AEO2015 projections are addressed through alternative cases.
EIA has endeavored to make these projections as objective, reliable, and useful as possible; however, they should serve as an adjunct to, not a substitute for, a complete and focused analysis of public policy initiatives.

It's too soon to know if USC will land 6-9 Demetrius Henry of Bradenton, FL but the Gamecocks certainly helped themselves with what they showed him and his mother during his official visit that concluded Saturday. "They showed us an excellent time," Henry's mother Andrea Dawson said. "They really did their thing. We saw everything. I could tell by how he was acting he was really comfortable." Ms. Dawson and her daughter live in Augusta and she likes the idea of her son being just an hour away for college. "Me and his sister are his biggest fans," she said. "I'd like to be there and be at every home game rooting him on. I like the situation at South Carolina. The program, the staff, it's a family oriented place. Frank Martin, Mrs. Martin, coach Evans, the whole staff." USC was the first of three visits Henry plans to make. He will go to South Florida this coming weekend and to Miami after the Hurricanes complete their NCAA Tournament play. Miami coach Jim Larranaga has been the only head coach to visit with Ms. Dawson at her home. Henry's mother said as far as she's concerned, there is a front runner. "I can't speak on his behalf," she said, "but I've got USC up front."Tweet

I'm going to start on the armholes later this evening.
Good work Susan!
Did you make note of how many ribbing rows you worked to reach your 3.5"? If not, do so. This will help you perfectly duplicate your ribbing to match the FRONTS.
I would simply measure the entire length, ribbing and all...to reach your prescribed 14.5".
It will be good however, to make notes about how many repeats and rows you knit for the body (beyond the ribbing) to reach your 14.5" goal...so that you can perfectly duplicate that length for the FRONTS.

Making Multiple Flashes Work Together
The Canon E-TTL flash system allows the use of multiple flashes to achieve lighting effects not possible with a single flash. The 550EX flash unit and the ST-E2 flash controller have the ability to control an unlimited number of flash units when attached to a Canon camera body. The unit attached to the camera is referred to as the master, and the flashes controlled by the master are called slaves. The 550EX flash can be a master or a slave, and the 420EX flash can only be a slave. Communication between the master and the slave(s) is accomplished by pulsing the flash tube of the master in a sort of ultra-high-speed Morse code that broadcasts the desired power level and other information from the master to all slaves within range. Canon doesn't actually use Morse code, but the concept is similar.
E-TTL has 4 separate channels so that multiple photographers can work in the same area without firing each others' slaves. Each channel has 3 groups; A, B, and C. All flashes in the same group will fire at the same power level, but each group can fire at a different power level. As mentioned earlier E-TTL fires a metering flash before the actual exposure to determine the correct power level for the exposure flash. When the flash attached to the camera is set to be a master, E-TTL will actually fire 3 metering flashes; one for each flash group. The correct power level is calculated for each flash group independently; when the shutter opens, all the flashes in each group will fire at the power level calculated for that group. The master flash is always assigned to group A, but slave flashes can be assigned to any group: A, B, or C. The amazing thing about this is that it happens so fast that there is no additional shutter lag when compared to shooting without flash. Canon 1 series bodies have a 55 millisecond delay between the shutter release being pressed and the shutter opening, whether shooting with multiple flashes or without any flash at all.
Using a 550EX as the master flash allows for more flexibility than using the ST-E2. The ST-E2 can only control groups A and B; the 550EX can control groups A, B, and C. With the 550EX, your ratio options are Off, A:B, and A:B:C. If you select A:B, flashes in group C will not fire. The ST-E2 cannot be used as a flash, only a flash controller. When using flash ratios between groups, the overall power level is determined by the camera and the Flash Exposure Compensation setting, and then the power is split up between the groups according to the ratio you have selected. Groups A and B are set as a ratio to each other, A:B. Group C is set as an amount above or below the overall power setting, +/- 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
Practical Application:

This is the second post in a series called Slay Your Time Vampires, helping you identify and rework time sucks in your life so you can use that time to take care of your health. Read Part I here.
There's a simple answer to your time management issues
What if I told you that there was one thing that would greatly increase the time you have to devote to your health? One thing that, if you mastered it, would add hours to your week and a glow to your cheeks?
I'll tell you what that one thing is at the end of this section. Before I do, though, I want to warn you that upon hearing it you will immediately come up with reasons why I am wrong.
In order to apply this one thing, you will have to machete your way through a jungle of convincing resistance. You will think "I'm a special case. This would never work for me." That's just your fear talking.
You don't have to listen to it. You have a choice, even all of your cells are screaming at you that you don't. I'll give you a way to deal with those screaming cells later. Just stick with me, okay?
This one thing has nothing to do with strategies, tools, and technology. It's just a word you have to say.
The word is NO.
Your mission
I want you to say no to things that don't make you happy. You know that lousy feeling you get in your body when you say yes to something that puts your happiness last? I want to work with you to eliminate that feeling from your life, one small step at a time.
I'm not talking about non-negotiables like going to work to support your family or caring for a baby or sick relative. I know that life is not one big party and that there are certain less-than-fun tasks we must do, sometimes for a long time. I'm talking about the areas where you do have the power to say no, and you're not exercising it.
Your tricky areas will be unique to you, but here are some common examples:
- Staying late at work every time your boss asks.
- Taking your girlfriend for happy hour drinks to talk about her breakup even though you are getting sick, and this is the third time she's broken up with the same guy
- Saying, "Well..okay." when your boyfriend asks if you guys can throw his best friend's birthday party at your place.
I'm asking you to look at the areas where you have let your sense of loyalty to others outweigh your sense of loyalty to yourself, and take small actions to restore the proper balance.
The benefits of saying No
If your resistance is telling you to stop reading this blog post right now, tell it these reasons why it's worth it for you to learn how to say no:
1) More time! By eliminating what doesn't serve you, you will have more minutes and hours to devote to improving your life.
2) Confident feelings follow confident actions. By saying no, you are sending yourself "I love you" messages even if you don't quite mean them yet. It will only be a matter of time until all of that love sinks in and translates into improved self esteem.
3) You lead by example. By gracefully honoring your own boundaries, you give others permission to do the same.
4) Your relationships will improve. Your friends and family have a better sense of your feelings than you think. Once you start saying no, you will lose the heaps of resentment for them you've been carrying around. Your relationships will become more authentic and trusting as a result.
Why this is so difficult to carry out – my story
I understand the enormity of what I am asking of you.
I am a people pleaser of Olympic proportions. I want you to like me more than I can put into words. I want you to like me even if I don't like you! Actually, I want you to like me especially if I don't like you, but that's getting into extra freaky territory so I'll save it for my therapist.
I spent the first twenty-something years of my life on a quest to be loved by everyone, doing what others asked of me without question. I defined myself using everyone else's opinions of me, and the way to ensure those opinions of me were good was to put my needs aside and always say yes to whatever they wanted.
This was especially true for me socially. It never occurred to me that I had the right to filter my social circle; that it was important to turn down a friendship if the potential friend wasn't very nice or an invitation if the thought of going was a drag. I had such low self worth that I thought anyone who wanted to be my friend was doing me a big favor. I gave time, attention, and money away recklessly.
I couldn't say no romantically, either. Up until Jonny, my love life was all guys who showed interest in me first. I thought that I had to take what I could get. Once I was in these relationships, I thought my value as a girlfriend lied in having no needs and always doing whatever the guy wanted. I thought I'd lose all desirability if I stopped being a needless doormat.
Years of this behavior translated into an insurmountable weight and overeating problem for me. I had the obvious issue of not having time for my health because I was so busy helping everyone else. Eventually, I saw how the psychological issues behind my extra weight ran even deeper than that. The "I am worthless" message that I reinforced to my very core every time I put myself last created a gaping, painful hole. I turned to food to fill and numb it.
When I decided to address that gaping hole rather than trying a different diet, I came face to face with my self hatred and all of its manifestations. I could not wipe out my low self esteem all in one go, but I could begin to act like a girl who loved herself. It has taken years of practice, and I'm not perfect, but I've come a long, long way in being able to say no to what doesn't serve me. My health and happiness have flourished as a result.
Your reasons won't necessarily be identical to mine. But if you find that you don't have enough time to spend on yourself and your health is suffering as a result, now is the time to figure out why.
What you can do about it
If you've been a lifetime people pleaser, a sudden switch to putting yourself first feels impossible. Be easy on yourself. Dip one toe into the "no" pool at a time, and submerge yourself further at your own pace.
Saying no to strangers is a great place to start. I once had a counselor who told me she learned how to say no by politely telling cashiers she did not want to sign up for their rewards programs.
Once you're feeling ready to move on to the people in your life, aim for slow progress rather than sudden change. Here's a continuum, from least to most self-honoring, that you can work your way through when someone asks you to do something that doesn't work for you:
If your friends and family are used to you being a yes girl, they are going to kick and scream a bit when you change your behavior. This is a very natural response when one person in a relationship changes. It's scary for the other party, and they do what they can to maintain the dysfunctional status quo.
It sucks feeling like your loved ones aren't happy with you. The only way to get it to suck less is to stick with it so they get used to your new empowered ways. I want you to remember that the suckage of feeling like you've disappointed your loved ones is a hell of a lot better than the cumulative effects of a life lived putting your needs last. Those that can't adapt to you tending to your own needs first might be relationships that you're better off without.
SyNOpsis (HA)
- If you feel too busy to take care of your own health, take an honest look at how you are spending your time.
- Other than non-negotiable duties, identify where you regularly say yes when you want to say no.
- Work your way towards saying no more often at a pace that feels right for you.
- Replace those activities with those that will improve your health and fitness.
- Pat yourself on the back! You've done a really hard thing!
I shared my story, now I'm eager to hear yours! What's the hardest thing for you to say no to, and what do you think is behind all those empty yes-es?

As this is a hardmodded question and relates to a couple of specific titles, moved thread to appropriate section. It might be nice if you elaborate as in what mod chip, System Menu, region, etc --- don't you think?
I recently got my Wii hard modded and I started downloading backup games to try and play. When I inserted Mario Kart and Rabbids Go Home, a message popped up saying I had to install an update if I wanted to play and it said that if i had any mods my wii wouldn't work.
I'm not sure if it's cuz my firmware has never been updated or if it's like some kind of virus or something?
Can someone tell me what it is and should i install whatever they are asking me to install?
Each game disc comes with an update partition that brings the firmware (System Menu and IOS up to date) and it checks itself against what you have on your Wii every time.
You must have an IOS or two, or even a lower System Menu than is on the disc/s.
As a hardmodder your only update path is to accept these disc updates (ensuring that the games are from your region). You should also be able to block the updates using your modchip's features if you so wish but at some stage games will not work.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.

Amen back to top of page
God give me faith in myself. Not only on the days when I am going great and winning and nothing seems impossible, but on days when I wonder if I am brave enough, smart enough, strong enough. Don't let me quit, not ever. Let me keep faith in myself. No matter how many people discourage me, doubt me, laugh at me, warn me, think me a fool, don't let me listen. Let me hear another voice telling me, "You can do it, and you will!"
If nobody else in the whole world seems to care or believe in me, let me believe in myself. I know there will be times when I doubt my own ability, I will be discouraged, on the verge of despair. Don't let me give up, hang on to me. Fan the fires of my faith so that I will try even harder. Give me even more faith in myself. You are the source of my abilities and my faith. I know that you will give me what I ask...Faith in myself through your power and glory.
Lord, You have the name that is above all names.
You are Lord forever and there is no one who can challenge Your
authority and power. You rule forever and ever, and there is no end to
Your Kingdom.
Prayer for my loved one...
Divine Spirit, You are the true and living God, You
rule over all things visible and invisible. You know our rising
up and our sitting down. You know when we go out and when we come in.
I know that I worry too much. I want to learn
that it's OK to say "no" to requests for my time or money
that are out of order. I want to learn that it's OK to care but
not carry the burdens of others. I release them into your
care. The battle is not mine. I believe in divine time
Your presence will be more real to him/her. You are their ever
present help...not me. So I rebuke the spirits of fear and anxiety
that have been assigned to my loved one and I cancel the schemes of
the enemy to separate them from the love of God which hinders
his/her destiny. I see my loved one surrounded in peace, provision
and protection.
You don't have to worry and don't you be afraid
comes in the morning, troubles they don't last always
- Gospel Artist Kirk Franklin
made the mountains, who made the trees,
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised. "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls. Hebrews 10:35-39
Lord Jesus, you are the God of all,
the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations
with those who love You and keep your commandments. Every good and
perfect gift comes to us from Your hand.
you be blessed by the Holy ones who carry your pain
You are the creator of all things. You called forth the planets with
a word, and established the stars with the sound of your voice. You
have authority over all the resources of the universe, and you have
promised to meet all of our needs.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake
you." Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)
The history of the word "worry" is rooted from an old English word "wyrgan" which means to strangle.
When you have consistent mental uneasiness feeling anxious and distressed about something going on in your life, you will begin to feel smothered. You feel like you're losing your breath. The concern and fears begin to suffocate you squeezing out all of your joy, peace and faith. You may feel cut off from solutions, mercy and strength as the enemy strangles you with fear. The habit of worrying is something I have wrestled with for many years. I felt responsible for the care and choices of others in my family. I worried about money and health. I worried about the future of my children. I began to realize that worrying did not solve anything. It never helped the situation. It only hurt me because I lost sleep, ate and shopped impulsively, smothered my faith, tried to rescue other people and suppressed my anger and feelings of inadequacy.
Getting older and wiser is a good thing! But why can't we learn these lessons earlier? The goods news is that you can. You can watch, listen and learn from others. Or you can wait to get sick and tired of being sick and tired. Then you will learn to let go and let God. You will learn to breathe again and not allow the enemy to place His hands around your neck choking you with fear, procrastination, worry, stomach aches, headaches, high blood pressure and heart attacks. You will learn that if you pray...don't worry and if you worry...don't pray.
You will learn to get up and take action rather than worry, weep, wait, whine and wish things were better.
The pearl of wisdom I give to you today is that everything is in divine order. Whatever or whoever is stealing your joy and peace today, take back your power and don't delay. God broke your years into hours and days so that hour by hour, and day by day you might be able to grow along the way. If all the weight of life were laid across your shoulders and you had to meet struggle and tribulations face to face in just one place, all at one time, you could not bear it. Your feet would stop, your back would strain, the enemy would win and you would give up. So instead, God lays a little on you at a time. You can make it. You are stronger than you think. I pray that your burdens will never be so deep or your path so steep, that you can't go on. You only need to bear the burdens of this hour. Trust God ... breathe ...pray...release...relax...focus and take the necessary action for THIS hour. "Cast all your cares upon Him, for HE cares for you." ~1 Peter 5:7
