British records for Applegate and Clegg
2nd September 2012
Paralympic newcomers Jessica-Jane Applegate and James Clegg impressed with British records in the heats on day four of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Applegate was the fastest qualifier in the 200m Freestyle as she ducked under her own record with a well-paced swim.
Competing in the first of three heats, the 16-year old bided her time before overtaking Australia's early leader Kayla Clarke in the final 50m to touch in 2:14.31 – 0.29 seconds faster than her old national marker.
Natalie Massey will join Applegate in the final after qualifying fourth fastest.
The world bronze medallist dug deep to hold off Sweden's fast finishing Pernilla Lindberg in the final stretch and set a season's best 2:16.21 to progress.
Having finished fifth in the S14 100m Backstroke earlier in the Games, 13-year old Chloe Davies narrowly missed out on reaching her second final as she finished ninth overall in 2:18.10.
Clegg became the first British S12 swimmer to swim under a minute for 100m Butterfly as he made a memorable Paralympic debut to win his heat.
The other guys will definitely improve for tonight so we'll just how it goes.
After turning in second, the 18-year old powered clear of his rivals in the back 50m to touch in 59.99 and secure his final berth as third fastest qualifier.
"I'm happy with that – it's brilliant," said Clegg.
"My turns weren't great and my finish wasn't brilliant either so hopefully I can knock some more time off that tonight and see if I end up with a medal.
"The other guys will definitely improve for tonight so we'll just how it goes."
With only eight entrants, there were no heats for the women's S12 100m Butterfly in which Hannah Russell will try for her second medal of the Games tonight.
The British 34pt 4x100m Freestyle quartet raised the roof in the last heat of the session as they won a dramatic race to qualify fastest for tonight's final.
After solid legs from S8 swimmers Sean Fraser, Tom Young and Sam Hynd, S10 swimmer Rob Welbourn anchored the Brits past Australia in the final stretch to touch in 3:57.87.
Having won the title for the past three Games, the Brits know a fourth consecutive gold won't come easily with Brazil qualifying second fastest in 4:00.12 and Russia third in 4:00.30.
World and European champion Dan Pepper made smooth progress from the S14 200m Freestyle heats as he clocked a season's best 2:01.94 to qualify fourth fastest.
I have been focusing more on my breaststroke so I just wanted to go in there today and get used to the pool a bit.
The Brit's teammate Ben Procter led for three quarters of the heat before Pepper touched him out at the wall by just 0.03 seconds.
And Pepper admitted he has come to expect a close race with Procter whenever the pair compete.
"Me and Ben are great rivals in the pool and best mates out of the pool so it's great when either of us gets the touch," said Pepper.
"It was a good time for me – I'm really chuffed. I have been focusing more on my breaststroke so I just wanted to go in there today and get used to the pool a bit.
"So to come away with a quick swim is great – perhaps I should prepare like that more often!"
Procter's time – a personal best 2:01.97 – was comfortably enough to see him through to the final in fifth while Craig Rodgie missed out by less than a second as he finished ninth overall in 2:05.59.
Rhiannon Henry booked her second final spot of London 2012 as she qualified fourth fastest in the S13 100m Freestyle.
Having finished seventh in last night's 50m Free, the European champion swam a controlled race over double the distance, touching second in her heat in 1:01.87 to progress.
Heather Frederiksen also reached her second final of London 2012 as she won her S8 50m Freestyle heat.
50m Free isn't one of my main events so I'm pleased with that and we'll see what I can do tonight.
Having won silver over 400m Freestyle earlier in the Games, the European record holder cruised through sixth fastest after clocking 32.34.
"50m Free isn't one of my main events so I'm pleased with that and we'll see what I can do tonight," said Frederiksen.
"In Beijing I was seventh in this final – I'm going in sixth here so fingers crossed with a good rest in between I can do something good tonight."

I am setting up the Modern Tribe Events Calendar (2.0.9) on a custom theme and everything is going great except for one thing... On the calendar view the page title is being set as the title of the newest event added. Seems like the tags on line 18 of gridview.php would set this (<title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>) but I've changed it there and it doesn't seem to work. Is the page title set in the theme? I was thinking it might work if I made a different theme just for this page and set a static title there, but it seems like there should be an easier way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help!

Since World War II spawned its share of war-themed movies, both direct and indirect, it's only natural that our era does the same, especially given that the Iraq War has gone on for several years now. A lot of movies over the past four or five years have dealt with the attacks in New York, soldiers in war, prisoners of war, and endless variations on these and other themes. Even the recent Western 3:10 to Yuma, hidden underneath its character-driven gun slinging, has a little something to say about the occupation. Most movies tackle their subject head-on, such as the numerous documentaries of the past few years and films like United 93 and World Trade Center as well as war films about other eras like Letters from Iwo Jima and Days of Glory. How refreshing, then, to see a movie like Richard Shepard's The Hunting Party, which has on its mind the topic of war criminals still at large. It wants to know why the U.S. has been unable to find certain outlaws, when just about any civilian with a passport, the price of a drink and a line of B.S. can do it. But instead of grousing or hand wringing, it becomes a spry, surprising and intelligent comedy.
The movie is told through the point of view of a TV news cameraman nicknamed Duck (Terrence Howard), who once worked together with reporter Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) in any Third World war zone worth covering. Their lives together were dangerous and exciting. They dodged explosions, drank in dive bars and romanced local girls. But when the tragedy got to be too much for Simon, he melted down on the air, effectively ending the relationship. Duck has since been promoted to a highly paid New York studio job, while Simon works for increasingly desperate TV stations so far off the radar that he eventually disappears. For the five-year anniversary of the end of the war in Bosnia, Duck, a polished TV anchorman (a perfectly cast James Brolin) and a network executive's son, Benjamin (Jesse Eisenberg), arrive to cover a routine press conference. Simon is also there, and he convinces Duck to help him cover the story of the decade: finding an infamous war criminal known as The Fox (Ljubomir Kerekes) with a $5 million bounty on his head.
From there, writer/director Richard Shepard takes his characters on a real ride, juxtaposing the prefab press conference with seat-of-your-pants journalism, which involves sniffing out leads, blundering into fresh information and a lot of drinking. As with his lively, highly enjoyable 2005 film The Matador, Shepard has a gift for exciting suspense, which then gives rise to intelligent humor. In a lesser film, creating humor out of tension can often result in a sickly, dreadful feeling, but Shepard's films employ anticipation rather than dread. The unexpected usually happens; in one sequence, our trio stops for lunch at a roadside café and a waiter overhears their conversation about The Fox. When they leave, the waiter fires a few bullets at their car, but -- it turns out -- not because of The Fox. He's shooting because the perpetually broke Simon has stolen the money from the table. The scene starts out tense, but turns into humor. This sense of the unpredictable runs right up until the film's end; it's impossible to guess the fate of The Fox at the hands of our three adventurers.
Of course, The Hunting Party is based on many real people and events, but Shepard avoids the usual reverential treatment. Most "true stories" get so bogged down in research and in paying proper, respectful homage to the real people that they forget to actually make a movie. Shepard refuses to buckle under and become a slave to such things. He has been truly inspired by the lunacy of the real events and runs with them, making them the crazy centerpiece of the movie and providing a fictional cushion around them. (The movie's opening line is "only the most ridiculous parts of this story are true," and the end credits go on to explain just what he means by that.)
As for the movie's heart, Shepard has once again succeeded by finding an unlikely duo for his male bonding story. In The Matador, hired killer Pierce Brosnan and businessman Greg Kinnear connected on a level more organic than the usual romantic comedy formula in which one partner "fixes" the other. The same happens here with Gere and Howard; Shepard makes their history together a palpable thing. Duck doesn't just act out of guilt or the promise of a great story. He acts because he truly feels friendship toward his old partner. Gere brings a great deal of energy to his role, and his enthusiasm for the story is infectious. The Benjamin character -- the equivalent to Hope Davis' "Bean" character in The Matador -- is an ingenious addition as well. He's Ivy League educated, but also smart enough to know that his book learning may not apply to the real world. Moreover, having this amateur around allows Duck and Simon to explain their history and business to the audience without sounding like gratuitous exposition.
Finally, Shepard actually hauled his entire cast and crew to Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina for that final touch, an authentic, war-torn backdrop to his rich, detailed characters and situations. The entire package has a genuine personality, and a playful one at that, something entirely too rare in movies. And when it comes time for Shepard to ask his question about war and war criminals, he includes it with the regular flow of the movie; it's not tacked on, and it doesn't change the movie's tone. He's not angry, or even exasperated, and he's not out to teach or preach. He sees the absurdity of the entire situation and invites us to see it too.

"I'm retired," Medina, 62, said. "I tried at least 20 different lenders and there's no equity in the home."
Although the notice of public auction was slated for Feb. 26, it was postponed until April 9. The home, according to estimates on ForeclosureRadar, has lost about $27,258 in equity, and Medina is one of the 8.8 million homeowners who now owes more than the house is worth.
For the first time since the Federal Reserve started tracking the data in 1945, the amount of debt tied up in American homes exceeds the equity homeowners have built.
The Fed reported Thursday that homeowner equity actually slipped below 50 percent in the second quarter of last year, and fell to just less than 48 percent in the fourth quarter.
And the housing industry's woes only seem to be getting worse.
Also Thursday, the Mortgage Bankers Association said foreclosures hit an all-time high in the final quarter of last year. And pending U.S. home sales -- those in the gap between when a buyer signs a contract and when the deal closes -- came in below analyst expectations for January and remained at the second-lowest reading on record.
"There is no sign that we're near the bottom in the housing market," said Douglas Elmendorf, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Fed economist.
The trifecta of reports illustrates a housing market caught up in a "very negative, reinforcing downward spiral," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com.
Home equity, the percentage of a home's market value minus mortgage-related debt, has steadily decreased even as home prices and homeownership rates jumped earlier this decade. That was due to a surge in cash-out refinancings, home equity loans and lines of credit and an increase in no-down-payment mortgages.
Now, declining home prices are eating into equity, and economists expect the figure to drop even more.
Economy.com estimates 8.8 million homeowners, or about 10 percent of homes, will have zero or negative equity by the end of the month. Even more disturbing, about 13.8 million households will be "upside down" if prices fall 20 percent from their peak.
Jay Damato, broker and owner of Elite Financial in Walnut Creek, said the housing downturn is the worst he has seen.
"Mostly in the 1990s you had to put 10 percent down, so if prices went down to 10 percent you were still even," he said.
Most homeowners have spent all their savings and may have even used their credit cards to make mortgage payments, so without equity they can't afford to refinance.
He said he's also working on doing "short-refis," which are similar to a short sale, where the bank agrees to sell a home at a loss rather than foreclose. The new refinancing would mean a bank would agree to a loan for what the house was worth instead of what is owed.
"You have borrowers now that need help now," he said. "Three or four weeks may be too late."
Experts believe foreclosures will rise as more homeowners struggle with monthly payments as the interest rates on their mortgages adjust higher. Problems in the credit markets and eroding home values are making it harder for people to refinance their way out of unmanageable loans.
The threat of so-called "mortgage walkers," or homeowners who can afford their payments but decide not to pay, also increases as home values depreciate and equity diminishes. Banks and credit-rating agencies already are seeing early evidence of it.
But not everyone believes banks and lenders are doing all they can to alleviate foreclosures.
Bryce Ellsworth, a real estate broker with Windermere Ellsworth & Associates in Brentwood, said that short sales, a step before foreclosure when banks sell homes at a loss, are difficult to close because of banks' "unwillingness" to work with buyers.
"There is no service, no accountability and (banks) are unwilling to bend in 90 percent of the circumstances to the detriment of themselves, the economy and housing markets," he said.
A massive loss in home equity could even mean some Americans won't have enough money to retire. On average, housing is Americans' single largest asset, representing 39 percent of a household's total net worth.
Jerry Ruzick, 58, a former computer programmer diagnosed with colon cancer, knows it's only a matter of time before he loses his San Pablo house he shares with his partner.
"It's hopeless," he said. "We just dug our hole and eventually will lose this house."
Ruzick put a second mortgage on his house to pay for medical bills and his partner has stopped working as a chef to act as his caretaker. Ruzick has skipped two of the past few payments.
"We don't have any money for this second loan," he said.
Ruzick, who is taking morphine to deal with pain, said that each day is a trial and he has accepted that he may lose what has been his home for the past 25 years.
"It will be decided, one way or the other," Ruzick said. "I don't have much hope in the future."
Last month, Congress passed a $168 billion economic stimulus package with provisions aimed at helping homeowners refinance into more affordable loans. The Federal Reserve has also slashed interest rates in hopes of spurring growth. On Tuesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that lenders reduce loan amounts to provide relief to beleaguered homeowners
"At the end of the day, these efforts will be insufficient," Zandi said. "Policy makers will need to be more aggressive and put taxpayer money on the line to stem this."
Medina said he hasn't made a payment for six months and has been denied twice for a loan modification due to financial hardship.
"The house is the only thing I have," Medina said. "For me, the American Dream is gone."

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/honky-tonk-man-buck-owens
When it comes to "live" TV performances, there are often a lot of shortcuts—even on a show like Hee Haw. But the cornfield comedy's shortcut is the fan's gain, as this previously unreleased collection from Buck Owens proves.
Honky Tonk Man: Buck Sings Country Classics compiles the covers that Buck performed on TV, backed by his band the Buckaroos. The secret: Buck was singing live, but the music was previously recorded in the studio, where Buck would often lay down guide vocals to help his players. Those guide vocals appear with the finished musical tracks on Honky Tonk Man.
The title track, later recorded by Dwight Yoakam, announces the Bakersfield Sound that is to follow, as songs such as Hank Williams' hallmark "Hey, Good Lookin'" and Waylon Jennings' "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" benefit from a heavy dose of twang. And Merle Haggard's "Swinging Doors" resonates with Buck's aching delivery.
However, some of the earliest selections, such as the 1928 Jimmy Rodgers lament "In the Jailhouse Now," feel a bit hollow, almost as if the Buckaroos were treading a little too gingerly with a classic.
But Buck lets loose on Johnny Russell's 1973 hit "Rednecks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer," turning in a performance that would make some of today's white-trash-proud artists feel like country-clubbers.

Homecoming events bring old friends together and add to Tuskegee University's future
TUSKEGEE, Ala. (November 8, 2015) — The alumni family and friends returned this week to celebrate all things Tuskegee during homecoming. The Tuskegee University Homecoming 2015 spirit, known online as #TUHC15, took over social media accounts and the campus as a variety of activities kept students and alumni busy, day and night.
"We are looking forward to having a safe and fun week full of exciting activities. We encourage the student body to make this a homecoming to remember," said Student Government Association president Maliq Kendricks after announcing their roster of events.
The SGA gave students a head start on the alumni with a host of performances and activities that began Nov. 1 with a gospel concert and meet and greet with Jor'dan Armstrong. The week also featured two fashion shows by Rave Revue modeling troupe on Monday; a Drop the Beat contest and a comedy show with Internet star Kountry Wayne of Tuesday, and a best-dressed competition and the Taste of the States on Wednesday.
On Thursday, students who visited the free Pop Up Salon got a chance to show off their freshly done hairstyles and made-up faces at the Miss Tuskegee University Gala/Mr. Tuskegee University Soiree and the Homecoming Ball. Drawing on the imagery of Egypt and theme of "Celebrating The Regal Elegance of Mother Tuskegee," the Gala introduced the university's kings and queens to the campus in high style.
Friday, returning alums caught up on the fun and the business of homecoming began in earnest. They were met by several events including a carnival, a concert, and meetings for the reunion classes of 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. Also that evening, the Alumni & Friends Homecoming Concert entertained the crowds with the talents of Anthony David and Algebra Blessett.
Friends and giving back
Saturday, the university community turned its attention to the Golden Tigers football team for the homecoming game. After a parade in the streets of the City of Tuskegee, fans watched the Golden Tigers play the Golden Bears of Miles College in Cleve Abbott Stadium. The unexpected 26-23 loss and rainy evening did not crush the jubilant homecoming mood that carried over late into the night at events such as the National Pan-Hellenic Council Step Show and Tuskegee University National Alumni Association's Young Alumni Party.
Michael A. Boyce of Washington, D.C., came back to reconnect with some old faces from his 2005 reunion class. Whenever he returns to campus, he said he also takes time to meet with students to help prevent their "struggle" after college.
"Homecoming is definitely an opportunity to interact with the students," said Boyce, who works for JP Morgan Chase. "As a young alumni, you can share your experiences because you experienced what they are about to go into."
Alums also paid homage to Tuskegee at the Homecoming/Charter Day Convocation Sunday and the reunion classes gave a $50,000 gift to the university. Later, many paid their respects to deceased classmates during a memorial service held in the chapel after the convocation.
Before saying their farewells, Barbara and Willie E. Cummings of East Point, Ga., reflected on their homecoming experiences. A former majorette, Barbara Cummings, Class of 1959, said her favorite parts of the weekend were the parade and renewing friendships. Both Tuskegee University Eminent Associates, the couple also believes in the importance of alumni giving back during homecoming.
"I like to see the synthesis of all coming together that helps propel and sustain the university" said Willie Cummings, Class of 1956.
Barbara Cummings added, "I was helped quite a bit when I was in school. This is just passing it on."

A potential lawsuit over the March 20th Electric Mountain Lodge explosion which killed three children will not include the town of Paonia. Grand Junction attorney Keith Killian who is considering filing the lawsuit says the town's limits didn't include the Electric Mountain Lodge. The lawsuit would be on behalf of lodge owners Michael and Nancy Hughes, whose grandchildren were killed and 12 extended family members injured in the blast. According to published reports, Killian has filed notice of the potential lawsuit and he says it could allege that lack of regulation in Delta County contributed to the explosion. The county has been notified of the potential lawsuit. Killian now has two years to file.

Boyz N The Hood
by Eazy-E
The song structure is one of the most interesting aspects of "Boyz N The Hood." The song begins with the members of N.W.A. bantering in the studio, reminiscing about the first version of the song, which appeared on the album N.W.A. and the Posse. As Dre mentions, some people didn't believe the song was going to work, but one huge album later (Straight Outta Compton), here they are completing a new version on the first solo album from one of their own.
Eazy begins the song with "Woke up quick, at about noon, just thought that I had to be in Compton soon." Once he's in his car, he plays the radio, "bumpin' new s--- from N.W.A.," and he finishes: "It was 'Gangsta, Gangsta' at the top of the list, then I played my old s---, it went something like this..."
This initial verse is in fact a second intro to the song. When Eazy delivers the classic line "Cruisin' down the street in my 6-4," he delves into the lyrics that make up the original version of "Boyz N The Hood." What this means is that the events of "Boyz N The Hood (Remix)" aren't narrated as they are happening, but are cast as a story coming directly from Eazy's stereo. The effect doesn't alienate the listener, since the music and lyrics are catchy and almost hypnotic, but many listeners may not notice that the song isn't taking place in the present.
Here's the chronology for the song's 6 minute and 22 second runtime:
- Studio banter from N.W.A. (:00 to 16 seconds)
- Eazy launches the song. (17 seconds)
- Eazy wakes up, threatens some gang members with a Mac-10, then gets in his car and turns on the radio. (18 to 59 seconds)
- We hear the song "Boyz N The Hood." (1 minute to 6:22)
In literary terms, this technique is called a "frame narrative," which places a story within a story. This technique can eliminate third person narration, and bring the reader (or listener) closer to the story, since it's related by another storyteller, often a minor character relating the major events of the plot. Given its structure, "Boyz N The Hood" shares a trait with a number of literary classics such as Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio's Decameron, and Arabian Nights.

Some 4-H and FFA participants save the money they earn from selling their animals at fairs toward college or put it back toward another project. Some will donate at least a portion of their money to a worthy cause.
Nine-year-old Cambridge resident Tyson Woodard took the latter approach with his first-ever entry, a goat named Donnie, during the 2012 Guernsey County Fair.
The boy and his family decided to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation "so every kid that has the same stuff that I do can find a cure to be healthy," he said.

But Tyson, his family and the regional businesses that joined forces to support him got more than they bargained for when the final price on his goat came in at more than $10,000.
"I made $10,600, and they said that I got to keep my goat," Tyson said.
Terry Hatcher, a landman with Marietta-based Artex Oil, was among those who agreed to go in together to boost the price of the animal during the Sept. 13 junior fair sale once they learned of how the money would be used.
Hatcher said he was approached by an employee of Zanesville-based Zemba Brothers Inc. who said he'd like to see the amount bid on the goat top $2,000. Hatcher said he agreed "because of what the little boy was doing and the fact that he was going to donate 100 percent.
"(That) shows exactly what kind of a man he was as a young child and what kind of values 4-H instilled in him," he said.
A genetic disorder, cystic fibrosis causes the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus. This leads to life-threatening lung infections, obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes in the body from helping with the breaking down and absorption of food. Few children with CF lived to attend elementary school in the 1950s, but today, many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
Tyson's family has contributed to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation all his life, said his father, John Glenn High School boys basketball coach Greg Woodard. He had been working behind the scenes to bring together multiple bidders for the goat so that Tyson would have a good showing but no one entity would have to spend a large amount of money. By the time he and Tyson went to bring the goat in for the auction, the total was around $2,600.
"It just kind of took off," Woodard said.
But the bidding would go much higher than that when Ted Korte, owner of TK Gas Services in New Concord, got involved.
Korte, a friend of the Woodard family, knew what Tyson's money was going toward, but he was out of the loop on the efforts of the other businesses. So he started making his own bids, which eventually reached $5,200.
Someone from the group pooling their resources went over to Korte, explained what they were trying to do and asked if he wanted to join them.
"I said, 'Sure. I made the bid. My bid's good,'" Korte said.
When Korte's bid was combined with all the money others had pledged, the total was $10,600. That's definitely a record for goats at the fair, and maybe for any animal, Woodard said.
"I thought the auctioneer was going to fall off the block," Korte recalled.
Korte has bought animals before to support a girl who donated her proceeds to diabetes research. He said his decision to pay what he did for Tyson's goat was not meant to draw attention to himself but simply "a movement of the heart."
"Sometimes you got to do what you feel," he said. "He's quite a young man for 9 years old. You can talk to him about like he's a young adult."
To Hatcher, the experience showed how communities can pull together to support one of their own, even in difficult economic times.
"He had no clue what we were doing," Hatcher said of Korte. "He just threw his hand up on his own. That's community right there."
Hatcher said there "wasn't a dry eye in the barn" afterward. Woodard described what transpired as "staggering."
"It was probably the neatest thing I've ever seen or been a part of," he said.
As for Tyson, he thinks the bidders - who finally totaled 28 - are "awesome." But probably even more exciting to him than how much money he'll be able to donate to cystic fibrosis research is that he got to keep his goat, who he named after his grandfather.
Tyson said he plans to turn his attention to cattle in future fairs. And his dad said they plan to donate those proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well.
"We're going to do that every year and hopefully, before he graduates, they find a cure," he said.

Editor's note: Many churches celebrate October as Pastor Appreciation Month. If yours is among them, consider incorporating the devotion below into your plans. It is slightly adapted from the free ministry message that accompanies the Thanking God for Your Servant Heart product line.
In addition, CTA has a number of other appropriate, value-priced gifts you may want to consider using to acknowledge the work of your pastor and the entire church staff all year round. Think about how these could fit into a year-round plan of encouragement.
Did you ever watch the television reality series, Undercover Boss? The premise is that the leader of a large business comes into the enterprise as an entry level employee. In disguise, the boss trains to work at the front desk of a resort chain. The mayor rides along, learning the ins and outs of work on his city's garbage trucks. The owner helps deliver product to his own convenience stores – at two in the morning.
Toward the end of each episode, the employees find out they've been working alongside "the big boss." This "reveal" almost always comes as a shock. Viewers can see the wheels turning in the employee's heads. "What did I say? How did I do? What kind of impression did I make?" The workers ask themselves all these questions and more besides as they try to reconstruct the experience. Some of them wonder if they will be fired.
Sometimes, the executive is indeed disappointed. Most often, though, he or she discovers ways to make the workers' jobs more efficient, pleasant, or effective. Often, too, the owner finds ways to reward faithful employees. Some workers get a vacation at a swanky resort—paid for by the company. Some employees find their college debt erased. Sometimes a business owner even writes a check to eliminate the family mortgage!
What motivates business owners to do all this? Often, the boss is simply so thankful for the servant heart the employee has shown.
Getting to the Heart
Whether or not our earthly employer ever surprises us with an anonymous "ride along," we know that our Lord Jesus has promised to stay with us always—even at work. Whether we collect a paycheck in a Christian school or volunteer as a helper in the nursery or food pantry at our church, our Savior promises to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). Sometimes we're aware of his presence, sometimes not. But Jesus always sees what we do. He hears what we say. He even knows what we think!
How do you feel about this "reveal"? Does the reminder make you nervous? Does it send you searching back through your memory to discover what improper attitudes, cruel words, or unkind actions our Lord may have seen?
If so, be at peace. In Christ's cross, your guilt has been taken away. The record of your sins has been expunged. Jesus is with you to hear your prayers and to help you grow more like himself. Every moment of every day, he is looking for reasons to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matthew 25:23).
After our Lord ascended to heaven, the apostle John was exiled on the island of Patmos. He had refused to worship Rome's Caesar, affirming instead, "Jesus is Lord!" During John's exile, the Holy Spirit gave John a compelling vision of the victorious life Christ was giving him. (Read Revelation 21:3-5.)
John wrote these words at a time when the Roman government was demanding emperor worship and persecuting Christians who refused to go along. Have things changed much? Somewhat, perhaps. Christians in our nation, at least, are not herded into penal colonies on remote islands. We are not thrown into arenas to be devoured by crazed lions. Still, as Christ's servants, we serve in what we might call, "the old order of things."
The world around us considers us old-fashioned and, perhaps, a bit dim, too. Who really believes in that "Jesus stuff" anymore? Political pundits think of us as right-wingers, focused obsessively on morals and manners. Many in our world consider words like "sin" and "salvation" obsolete. The culture largely ignores us until disaster strikes. Then, often, Christian leaders are called upon to justify what God is blamed for doing—in 30 seconds or less, of course.
As servants of Christ, though, we see life through a different lens—a much more joyful and hopeful lens. Here and now, already here on earth, we celebrate the new life Christ has won for us on Calvary's cross. We treasure the fact that our Savior cleanses us from our sins day by day. We take advantage of the opportunity to share our innermost thoughts with our Creator in prayer. Compelled by Christ, we work and relax, serve and lead, as we look forward to the New Heavens and New Earth he is preparing for us.
When tears and darkness come, we know Jesus stands beside us, helping us carry our burden. We continue to witness God's love to those we serve. We look forward to a time when there will be no more tears, to an existence so glorious that no words are full enough to describe it, an existance when the old order of things has passed away and God has made everything new, just as he has promised.
On that day, the day of the "big reveal," we will see our Master face-to-face. We will receive, not his rebuke, but his commendation: "Well done, good and faithful servant!" We will hear him tell about all the selfless prayers we have prayed and all the compassion we have shown to his little ones—to the young, the sick, those in prison, the lonely, the hungry, the poor, the discouraged, the confused. We will see his smile and enjoy the rewards he has planned for us from all eternity as we, by his grace, inherit the kingdom he has prepared for us (Matthew 25:34).
Taking It Home
Today we especially honor (name the individuals you are thanking) for their good and faithful service. (Share a few words explaining what their service has involved and what God has done through them.)
We want to give each of you a token of our appreciation as a reminder that we truly do thank God for your servant hearts! (Describe the "Thanking God for Your Servant Heart" items you are giving, perhaps reading a few words from the item.) We thank God for you, and we thank you for your faithful service! Well done!

U.K. Media Regulator's Report Goes Beyond Teen Phone Addiction
Most of the media attention on the Communications Market Report from U.K. media regulator Ofcom has focused on the perhaps not unsurprising revelation that teenagers are both more likely to own a smartphone and to be annoying. They are also, along with a large part of the British population, "addicted" to their smartpones.
But there is rather more of interest in the 341 page report than many headlines suggest. Take the changes in consumer behavior: "2010 saw a large migration of customers from pre-pay to contract mobile phone services. At the end of 2010, nearly half (49%) of mobile subscriptions were contract, compared to 41% a year previously."
This is likely to be, in part, a reflection of the move to more expensive handsets which are too expensive for many consumers to buy in a single pay-as-you-go transaction. But that also means they will have to wait until the end of a contract before changing phones.
The report continues: "Total U.K. broadband take-up increased by three percentage points to 74% by Q1 2011." But, despite this growth: "Total telecoms revenues fell by 2% in 2010. Mobile revenues increased slightly (up one per cent), but fixed voice and broadband revenues continued to decline (down three per cent and six per cent respectively)."
It will be interesting to see the impact on those revenues from the continuing growth in the use of cellphones for internet access, up, according to Ofcom, from 22% in 2010 to 28% in the first quarter of 2011. And 57% of those were visiting social networks, which has overtaken email, used by 53% on their phones. Overall the number of adults using social networks on any device has grown from 40% in 2010 to 48% this year.
This has had a commercial impact according to the report, which says: "The internet advertising market grew by 16 per cent in 2010 and generated £4.1 billion—slightly more than television advertising. We look at what is driving this and find that a big area of growth has been display advertising on social networking sites."
Elsewhere in the report what surprises is not so much what has changed, but how little. For instance, in the period of the study between 2000 and 2010, the average amount of time Brits spent watching television actually increased by an average of 18 minutes to a little more than four hours a day. That is despite increasing competition for their time.
When the study began, the proportion of British homes connected to the internet was 25% It's now 76%. Of course, distinctions between Internet and television use are not always clear cut. Some 27% of adults say they use online catch-up services such as the BBC iPlayer. But growth there is not matched by the amount of time spent watching time-shifted TV shows with digital video recorders such as Sky+ actually declining slightly.
Overall, however, the report is fairly positive about the health of the British television industry. It, "collectively generated revenue of £11.8 billion in 2010, a 6.6 per cent increase on 2009, driven by both a recovery in advertising revenue (up by 11.2 per cent) as well as continued increases in subscription revenues (up by 5.3 per cent).

Special report: The secret plan to take Tripoli
Sep 6, 2011, 6:50 a.m.
Sarkozy expressed enthusiasm for the plan, according to Mlegta and the senior NTC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The leaders slimmed the 120 targets down to 82 and "assigned 2,000 armed men to go into Tripoli and 6,000 unarmed to go out (onto the streets) in the uprising," according to rebel colonel Buhagiar. He joined the opposition National Front for the Salvation of Libya in 1981 and has lived in the United States and trained as a special forces operative in both Sudan and Iraq.
There were already anti-Gaddafi cells in the capital that the rebels knew they could activate. "The problem was that we needed time," the senior NTC official said. "We feared that some units may go out into the streets in a spontaneous way and they would be quashed. We also needed time to smuggle weapons, fighters and boats."
In the early months of the uprising, pro-rebel fighters had slipped out of Tripoli and made their way to the north-western city of Misrata, where they were trained for the uprising, rebels in Misrata told Reuters in June. The leaders of two rebel units said "hundreds" of Tripoli residents had begun slipping back into the city by mid-July. Commander Alhasi and other rebel officers in Benghazi said the number of infiltrators sent into Tripoli was dozens, not hundreds.
"This was not D-Day," Alhasi told Reuters in his office.
Most of the infiltrators traveled to Tripoli by fishing trawler, according to Alhasi. They were equipped with light weapons -- rifles and sub-machineguns -- hand grenades, demolition charges and radios.
"We could call them and they could call each other," Alhasi said. "Most of them were volunteers, from all parts of Libya, and Libyans from overseas. Everybody wants to do something for the success of the revolution."
Although Tripoli was ostensibly under the control of Gaddafi loyalists, rebels said the security system was porous: bribery or other ruses could be used to get in and out. Small groups of men also began probing the government's security system with nighttime attacks on checkpoints, according to one operative who talked to Reuters in June.
It was possible to smuggle weapons into Tripoli, but it was easier and less risky -- if far more expensive -- to buy them from Gaddafi loyalists looking to make a profit before the regime collapsed. The going rate for a Kalashnikov in Tripoli was $5,000 over the summer; in Misrata the same weapon cost $3,000.
Morale got a boost when rebels broke into government communication channels and recorded 2,000 calls between the regime's top leadership, including a few with Gaddafi's sons, on everything from military orders to sex. The NTC mined the taped calls for information and broadcast some of them on rebel TV, a move that frightened the regime, according to the senior NTC source. "They knew then that we had infiltrated and broken into their ranks."
Recordings of two of the calls were also handed to the International Criminal Court. One featured Gaddafi's prime minister al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi threatening to burn the family of Abdel Rahman Shalgham, a one-time Libyan ambassador to the United Nations and an early defector to the rebels. Al-Mahmoudi described Shalgham as a slave. The other was between al-Mahmoudi and Tayeb al-Safi, minister of economy and trade; the pair joked about how the Gaddafi brigades would rape the women of Zawiyah when they entered the town.

Do your kids think that clean, folded clothes magically appear in their drawers? Do they roll their eyes when you suggest they clean the bathroom? Do you think it's your job to pave their road to success? As parents, so often we hover, race in to save, and do everything we can for our kids - unintentionally reinforcing their belief that the world revolves around them.
When Kay Wyma realized that an attitude of entitlement had crept into her home, this mother of five got some attitude of her own. Cleaning House is her account of a year-long campaign to introduce her kids to basic life skills. From making beds to grocery shopping to refinishing a deck chair, the Wyma family experienced for themselves the ways meaningful work can transform self-absorption into earned self-confidence and concern for others.
With irresistible humor and refreshing insights, Kay candidly details the ups and downs of removing her own kids from the center of the universe. The changes that take place in her household will inspire you to launch your own campaign against youth entitlement. As Kay says, "Here's to seeing what can happen when we tell our kids, 'I believe in you, and I'm going to prove it by putting you to work."

"Yes, yes, YES!!"
I chose it to read because I'm on a 12-months of "xyz"-kick right now ... but as a mother of young children, I bump up against this entitlement stuph on a regular basis. I found myself shouting YES!! to her philosophy and statements (after admitting to the error of her ways prior to the project) and cheering her and her family on throughout the book. I feel so strongly about the points and quality of this book that I am purchasing it for every member (40!) of my Mothers of PreSchoolers group this year!
when she recounts a friend's son putting in a sprinkler system himself (including research and purchasing), and when she had one (clueless) kid pump gas ...
there are 12 categories - I think my favorite 'scenes' are when she explains the different ways her different-personaly-ed crew handled the challenges.
give kids the tools, and step back. self-esteem is created when you give them the opportunities to succeed (and sometimes fail), not when you pave the way, fix the results, or prevent failure/experience altogether!
"No exactly what I expected"
I liked the idea of this book and the comparison stories but the story is basically the same every month. Maybe it is the wordage used over and over.
Maybe not using the same words, basic story line each month.
YES, It made me realize my 20 YOA son is still reaping the benefits.....Not now!
This was a good book just a bit redundant. What this book preaches about entitlement is all factual and makes you realize you need to CUT OUT ENABLING!
"Great advice, great ideas! "
I loved it! I love how far beyond chores it goes and includes acts of service
I am a working mom who loves to squeeze in listening to books while walking, doing chores or commuting.
"A good book for large families."
I would recommend this book to families with children at home. It is thought provoking and is a good guide on how to restructure chores. I would caution my friends though that this author has a much less protective approach to child safety than I do. I did not agree that letting children take off alone on bicycles or other community outings is part of building self-sufficient children. Letting toddlers access dangerous playground equipment and letting them learn the hard way if they get hurt seems irresponsible. Children are vulnerable and there are a lot of bad people and dangers out there. At times, I felt that the author was weary of parenting 5 children and was largely motivated by her own need to have the children self-sufficient at an early age. I did not implement this type of program yet, raised three very well adjusted self-sufficient children. The author doesn't factor in maturity as a real physiological process and part of brain functions with aging. She does seem to be rushing her children and it seems they were pretty stressed. I know moms with 5 plus children and it does seem that these moms are much more ready to have their children self-sufficient earlier out of necessity.
Yes, as above. The book has lots of good ideas. She also quotes scripture and seems to be striving to be a Godly mother.
No one scene stands out. The book is full of scenes about how the authors children responded to her new mandates.
My children are raised, but I can implements some of the ideas with future grand-children. It is a nice concept.
The narrator is superb!

"Great listen"
I highly recommend it! I had friends who did this in a class. I decided to do it after my son was giving me a hard time with chores. I am going to do this on a regular basis a chore list and teaching him new things on a regular basis.
"Simple Ways to Counter Entitlement in our Kids"
If you've been scratching your head searching for ideas to effectively combat "entitlement generation" attitude in your kids - look no further.
The writing style is light and funny - the book is easy to read and enjoyable - but it's packed with straight forward wisdom and immediately employable strategies. This book holds one of the keys to child rearing success that was instinctive to parents and society in previous generations but is foreign to today's parents and sadly, is becoming counter-cultural.
"Great tips and techniques"
I enjoyed this books honesty and openness about parenting teens. I'm definitely going to put the ideas into practice in our house
"Awesome parenting"
I have felt very inspired by this book and feel motivated to put it in to practice with my own family. I think it will help me, the Mom, in the life skills that I hope to teach my kids. I would highly recommend it.
"Broken down, easy to do activities that change!"
So many great and totally doable ideas! I will be listening again and again to this book as my kids grow up.
"Hysterically funny, especially for kids"
This book could have had the children's voices spoken by actual children. Her children did not want to be mentioned by name in this book and were given hilarious aliases. It's nice to be able to listen to someone's life who does not work, does not teach her own children, has financial security on one income, and who can roll with childhood behavior with amazing disrespect. The parental disrespect actions are always mild, but in the context of the near complete lack of empathetic actions towards the parents the household is a model of what entitled parents and children look like.
Oh, not at all, just if you think that this is going to help you get your household in loving order, it will only be a great model of what not to do. In listening to this book my children kept stopping the play to tell me what a great mom I am because I don't "act as the enforcer" among many other actions.
Tavia Gilbert was wonderful to listen to, I would love to listen to her more.
This book was like satire. We ended up listening to it as a family, especially sections where the parents handled entitlement issues by paying out of family people to do the work -- cooking days handled by the child ordering fast food, gardening chores delegated to a yard crew, and many other throw money at the problem fixes.
What a contrast from Hold on to Your Kids, which is the sort of book I wanted more of.

With its trademark showmanship and Pavarotti-like bravado, Apple (AAPL) on Wednesday unveiled its third-generation iPad, a polished and pumped-up tablet that CEO Tim Cook called "the ultimate poster child of the post-PC world."
Coming just two years after Apple revolutionized personal computing with its inaugural tablet and a year after launching its iPad 2, the latest offering is nearly identical to its predecessors in shape and size. But the device boasts dramatically improved screen clarity, more computing muscle, better video and photo-editing software, and the ability to connect to fast 4G LTE networks -- features that will enhance its appeal as an alternative to traditional laptops and desktops.
"The iPad is about post-portable computing," Cook told a gathering of several hundred reporters, bloggers and analysts in San Francisco, "And it's outstripping the wildest of predictions. The momentum behind iPad has been incredible and has surprised virtually everyone."
And, Cook added, "we are just getting started."
The event marked Apple's first major product release since the death last fall of co-founder Steve Jobs, the man who predicted the iPad would one day replace the PC.
The new device, which Cook referred to simply as "the iPad" rather than the iPad 3, goes on sale March 16 and, like the iPad 2, starts at $499. However, the fully loaded model -- with 64 gigabytes of storage and Wi-Fi and 4G capability -- will set you back $829.
"It will be really hard for anyone to top this," said analyst Tim Bajarin with Creative Strategies, whose assessment seemed to express the consensus of analysts on hand. "The software inside is really spectacular. So is the high-quality screen resolution, thanks to Retina display. And the 4G LTE makes this iPad the most effective communications tablet available."
The warmest response from the crowd was for the new iPad's Retina display, which offers crystal-clear images because pixels on the screen are so densely packed that the eye cannot detect individual pixels. But Apple drew plenty of "wows" with upgrades to apps like GarageBand, which now allows several iPad users to simultaneously play virtual instruments and "jam" together over a Wi-Fi connection, essentially recording a complete song in the process.
Cook, repeatedly referring to the iPad as a "post-PC" device, was clearly positioning Apple's latest tablet to dethrone the desktop PC that tethers so many people to the workplace and home office.
After watching the presentation of the new iPhoto app for the iPad, analyst Ross Rubin with NPD Group said the sophistication of that app shows how the iPad is taking on "the kind of tasks that were previously associated with a PC," and illustrates how Apple is adding new functionality to the device "without adding complexity."
Apple executives took a few minutes to also unveil what they called "a new Apple TV" digital set-top box. Priced like its predecessor at $99, the new box includes support for resolutions up to 1080p. It has a new user interface, which will also be available on the existing Apple TV, as well as the ability for the first time to store purchased movies on iCloud, just as Apple customers already can store music and other content. But the improvements were far shy of a blockbuster TV product.
The big news was the iPad. Several analysts said the latest iteration positions Apple further ahead of the competition and puts the Cupertino company at the center of the transformation under way in how people use computers. Tablets are soaring in popularity, with Apple selling more than 15 million iPads in the last quarter of 2011.
"It's not about the hardware," said analyst Van Baker with Gartner. "It's about the applications. And Apple is so far ahead of the others with their ecosystem."
Cook also announced a $100 price cut for the iPad 2, which will sell for $399. Several observers said the price drop could ignite iPad sales to schools, which are clamoring for the tablets in their classrooms but are often discouraged by the relatively high price. And price is a huge factor in Apple's battle with its rivals to capture market share among consumers increasingly attracted to the freedom and versatility a tablet offers.
"Apple just made things a lot harder for the competition," said Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, "not just with the new iPad but with the now lower-priced iPad 2. That $399 price point is a big deal, especially for schools, and it will now be impossible for others to compete.''
While many Apple watchers had expected the new iPad to be named the "iPad 3," analyst Bajarin said he thought Apple was sending a message by calling it simply "the iPad."
"With this new iPad, I think Apple's saying this will be the minimum going forward, in terms of features like Retina display and 4G LTE," he said. "The iPad, without a number attached, is essentially the platform for Apple to build upon in the future. So why confuse things by giving it a number?''

CES: Playing Chess With Einstein
By Mary Pilon
When you can't think of something new, repackage and remarket the old.
Excalibur Games displayed a whole series of games that were newer spins on already existing toys.
"There's a whole generation out there who doesn't know what a Rubik's cube is," Jerry Cohen, account executive for Excalibur Games, told me. The K-Ball is Excalibur's take on the '80s puzzle classic. It's essentially the same simple color-matching game, but a sphere rather than a cube. The frustration in trying to solve the thing is the same.
Excalibur also had a demonstration of Einstein Robo-Chess, a $200 chess set that through the magic of magnets allows players to compete against the computer or receive lessons from it. The board even has a setting that allows it to play a game against itself. For more frugal budgets, there's a $70 and a $40 model that maintains some of the basic tutorial features, but scraps the robo action.
The robotic chess technology has been available from Excalibur before, but has been reintroduced with Einstein branding. "I think [Einstein] would like it," Mr. Cohen says.
Nearby, Innex offered a system that accepts both Nintendo and Super Nintendo cartridges, the RetroDuo. I tested out one with a game of Super Mario Brothers and found the controllers to be flimsier than their original Nintendo counterparts, but the pleasing color schemes would make this a good gift for those who are looking to consolidate their entertainment centers. The recession-friendly price of $60 is also a plus.

Christmas at Cape Comorin
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Vadym Kulykov
Fluttering paper stars and multi-colored tags hint at Christmas eve. It is the city of Kanyakumari in the South of India, Cape Comorin known also under the name. Together the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal here meet, and each Hindu person dreams at least time in life to appear in this point where its land terminates. Our Lady of Ransom Church is in the middle of stocky fishing quarter. Opposite to a construction is the huge cross made of a mast from broken ship. Local fishermen are not hindus, but Catholics. In the sea they leave by heavy tin boats or on catamarans from logs.

India: Improving external balance amid weak fundamentals
Asia Pacific Economic Outlook, December 2013
India's economy continues to show no signs of sustainable improvement, and economic sentiment has suffered due to unfavorable economic developments and policy paralysis.
All our previous reports on India have repeatedly discussed its disappointing growth, weakening domestic currency, rising inflation, and deteriorating fiscal and current account balances. Unfortunately, not much has fundamentally changed since we last reviewed India's economic situation. The economic parameters are either improving marginally or worsening every alternate month as the economy shows no signs of sustainable improvement. However, it is economic sentiment that has witnessed a prominent setback due to unfavorable economic developments and policy paralysis.
Improvement in some quarters
This quarter, India's economy may grow modestly due to this year's better-than-average monsoon producing a good agricultural harvest. After a sharp depreciation, the Indian currency gained back its ground in September due to improved market sentiments post the US Federal Reserve's (the Fed's) decision to maintain its pace of Treasury purchases and recent monetary policy measures by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The currency has appreciated over 10 percent from its lowest level. At the time of writing this article, the Sensex, the Bombay Stock Exchange's index, had reached a record high of 21,164.
The external imbalance has been one of the greatest macroeconomic worries for India, and recent signs of corrections in the current account deficit are probably one of the biggest improvements. Policy measures by the RBI to curb gold imports and factors such as slowing domestic demand and lower oil prices due to reduced external risks have helped contain growth in the import bill. At the same time, exports have grown faster in the first half of the current fiscal year relative to FY 2012–13 due to currency depreciation and improved global demand. Remittance flows to India have surged as the country's overseas population has taken advantage of the weaker domestic currency.
India's poor growth and high inflation require better coordination between its monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate policies.
But no euphoria
However, there is no euphoria in the Sensex's high levels because the rally is largely driven by global liquidity while retail investors stay on the sidelines. Retail participation is estimated to be at a 10-year low.1 Until the Sensex's rise is broad based, it is unlikely to be sustainable. Long-term capital inflows remain a concern as direct investments have been steadily falling this fiscal year. At the same time, foreign institutional investments remain volatile.
The industrial production index fell 0.8 percent in August 2013 due to a significant fall in manufacturing production. Consumer goods production decreased for the fifth consecutive month, falling 6.2 percent in August, primarily due to lower production of consumer durables. This is a strong indication of weakening domestic consumption demand. At the same time, inflation moved up a couple of basis points this September; the wholesale price indicator moved up to 6.5 percent, while consumer prices continued to remain close to their three- year peak.
Weak economic fundamentals will likely weigh upon the currency, while external risks and uncertainties may maintain pressure on the trade balance. Moreover, the Fed's decision to taper quantitative easing has been merely postponed: If not this year, the Fed will eventually decide to reduce its stimulus in 2014, and India may witness similar currency depreciation, unless economic fundamentals improve.
Sentiments deteriorate
Poor growth and the rise in prices are affecting consumer and business sentiments. A recent survey by an Indian industry association indicates that the Indian middle class's affair with shopping malls is waning. The number of footfalls in malls is expected to decline 35–40 percent in the ongoing festival season as the economic slowdown, high prices, high interest rates, and job uncertainties all weigh upon consumer sentiments.2
According to an RBI survey, consumer confidence diminished in September, with around 60 percent of respondents expecting that economic conditions will worsen.3 The industrial outlook for the overall business situation is at its lowest since 2005 due to the pessimistic assessment of and expectations for exports, imports, and the overall financial situation. The Business Expectation Index fell below the threshold level of 100 to 97.3 for the first time since 2008, indicating that businesses are highly pessimistic about the economic outlook and investment prospects.4 Rising interest rates and the perceived rise in external finance costs are impacting investment decisions, while the perception of profit margins continues to remain negative. All these factors have led to poor production and employment outlooks.
Uncoordinated policy actions
The RBI's monetary policy actions in the last two months have clearly indicated that it is primarily focused on anchoring inflation. The policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility was raised a total of 50 basis points in two consecutive monetary policy meetings in order to contain inflation expectation. At the same time, significant liquidity was provided to facilitate adequate credit to productive sectors, encouraging corporates to substitute costlier money market sources for bank credit. The policy stance is expected to remain hawkish in the near future, with adequate provision made to ensure smooth liquidity in the system.
Despite government policies and reforms, obstacles to infrastructure and manufacturing investments continue to exist due to a lack of clear direction and disappointing implementation. With elections around the corner, there is not much likelihood that the pace and direction of meaningful policy actions and reforms will change. India's poor growth and high inflation require better coordination between its monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate policies. However, the gap between desired and actual policy actions and ineffective coordination will likely delay or may even drag down the economy's recovery prospects.

Carnie Wilson Battle of the Bulge
Ten Years (and Two Kids) After Her Famous Gastric Bypass Procedure, the 212-Lb. Singer Finds Herself Fighting to Lose Weight Again
How did you gain so much weight while you were pregnant?
The only things that made me feel better were English muffins and bagels. The weight came on fast. I didn't have these issues before pregnancy. I'm just frustrated with these pounds. Having children derailed me a bit. One of the storylines of Unstapled is following my progress—or no progress—in losing the baby weight.
How do you feel now?
I want more energy. I don't want to be in the obese category. It's a scary place to be.
When Dr. Oz said you were morbidly obese, was that a wake-up call for you?
It was a supportive nudge. His partner Dr. Mike Roizen is the enforcer. He sends me some pretty intense e-mails.
What does he say?
Well, I made these beautiful lean, ground meatballs and he's like, "Dump the meatballs!"
How's it going on Dr. Oz's weight-loss program so far?
I've lost 6 lbs. in three weeks, and I'm happy with that. The Oz team is saying, "We want you to exercise every day for 30 minutes. Walk 10,000 steps."
Do you like to exercise?
I loathe it! 10,000 steps is too much. I'm trying to hit 7,000. When we were out today, I said, "God, it's a gorgeous day." And what did I think? "I just want a big tub of buttered popcorn, and I want to lie on the couch and watch a movie." That was my first thought, not, "It's a lovely day. Let's go for a jog!" Maybe Renée Zellweger would, but not me!
So what is your dream goal?
My goal is to miraculously grow 4 in. taller. I want to eat my macaroni and cheese without gaining weight! Have another baby. [laughs]
What is your real goal?
I'm not looking at size. I think a healthy weight is somewhere between 150-170 lbs. for me. I don't want to be drastic. I want to be realistic.
On your show you cook and bake. In fact you are starting your own line of baked goods. Aren't you setting yourself up to fail?
I love to feed people. If someone wants to analyze this, then you can say I'm vicariously eating through other people or I'm obsessed with food. I love food. I love the way it smells. I love the way it tastes. Sometimes I snack on too much sugar. Would I be better without eating any sugar? Probably, but that's not life.
So aren't you in effect sabotaging yourself?
Sometimes I get the "f— it"s. I sabotage myself. But I don't eat portions of what I bake. I've never had a slice of my own cheesecake. I've only had a bite. I still eat less than other people do at one time. I still take half the bread off when I eat a sandwich.
Do you mind that you're still the poster girl for gastric bypass?
No. It saved my life. At the end of the day it's not just the Hollywood person who's trying to lose weight. I don't know how many people Kirstie Alley has in mind to help, but I know, for me, the most touching thing is these total strangers who share with me. They say, "You saved my life." And I say, "No, you saved your life." I get instantly emotional.
Do you feel ashamed or embarrassed by your weight gain?
I have been in way worse places to feel shame. I'm feeling hopeful. This is how I stay accountable and on track. I've kept off a ton of weight. I can never beat myself up for that. I'm still a success.
