Lennox Lewis Says Manny Pacquiao Can Bounce Back
By Kevin Francis, courtesy of The Daily Star
LENNOX LEWIS believes Manny Pacquiao can bounce back from his KO by Juan Manuel Marquez and regain his place at the top of the world.
The defeat was the eight-division world champion's second on the bounce after he lost on a split decision to American Timothy Bradley in June.
There are calls for the great Filipino, 34, to call it a day because he has nothing to prove in a sport where he is a true legend.
But he has vowed to carry on and Lewis, the British former undisputed world heavyweight champion, is backing him.
The retired Lewis said: "It depends on how Pacquiao reacts to the loss.
"Is he a broken man or can he admit he made a mistake in the ring and build on that?
"A loss can make you look at yourself in a way that victory cannot. It gives you a feeling that inspires you to be better.
"Gladiators need to experience setbacks because if you can come back from them it shows just how great you are."
One person who disagrees with Lewis is Pacquiao's wife Jinkee, who wants him to quit the ring after 17 years as a professional fighter.
She said of his sixth-round KO in Las Vegas earlier this month: "It's the first time I've seen him like that, lying on the canvas, and I was scared.
"I began screaming and crying. I know he is still capable of fighting, but, for me, there is nothing for him to prove. He already has eight world title belts and he can retire at any time. I want him to stop now, but he is the only one who has the last say.
"Boxers risk their lives and some end up in wheelchairs. I don't want that to happen to Manny – I want him to finish."
Pacquiao has dropped to sixth place in one list of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters in which Floyd Mayweather Jnr is top.
Meanwhile, someone who has called it a day is top American TV boxing analyst Larry Merchant, who retired at the age of 81 last weekend.
Merchant never minced his words in post-fight interviews in the ring and was at his best last year when speaking with Mayweather.
The fighter made disparaging remarks about Merchant, who replied on air: "If I was 50 years younger, I would kick your ass!"
Duran took off a full eighteen months before coming back after the Hearns loss, Arum is already talking about a September return which is ridiculous. Duran's style and underrated boxing technique helped him greatly in his comeback. Duran also defeated…Comment by #1 Puerto Rovk on 12-23-2012

[QUOTE=Frank Ducketts;12847358]Pac is done. Pushing aside the hate for his fanatical fans, but Pac is done! He's had a long career. He can't come back from this. He has one foot in and out of boxing![/QUOTE] Sort of like you…Comment by astacio on 12-22-2012

The Insider: Time-Lapse Video Documents Winter Haven Parking Garage Construction
Published: Monday, April 9, 2012 at 9:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 9, 2012 at 9:03 p.m.
Parking garages don't usually generate much excitement, but one such structure in Winter Haven is providing some potential entertainment. A video, "200 Days in 30 Seconds," captures the construction process of the parking garage through time-lapse photography. The garage, built by the Winter Haven firm Everett Whitehead and Son, Inc., will add 267 parking spaces for merchants and visitors in downtown Winter Haven. The video, created from images taken by a Whitehead Construction stationary camera, is a joint project of the builder and ePolk, Inc., a firm specializing in web hosting, design and applications. The video can be viewed at http://epolk.com/concepts/whitehead.

Varadkar uses politics' wicked month to ease into 'Angola'
Published 09/08/2014 | 02:30
August is a wicked month. So wrote Edna O'Brien back in 1965 and her words still ring true today.
For many politicians, August is the month to meet with their families and go off to the beach.
We had a clear example this week of a politician who thinks differently.
Dr Leo Varadkar, the new Minister for Health, decided to use the lacuna created by the wicked, lazy early days of August to lay out his stall and ideas for the health portfolio.
Firstly, we had the self-penned piece in the Irish Independent. This was followed by a 45-minute interview conducted by Keelin Shanley on RTE One.
It caught my ear and I settled down to listen.
The first item Leo dealt with was the burial of universal health insurance (UHI).
Now of course he will say that he didn't really bury it, he just put it off to a future date.
To my mind, we will not hear very much again about UHI.
It is already turning sour in Germany and in the Netherlands where it had been hailed as the saviour of the nation's ills. Leo told Keelin Shanley that he had been speaking to the health insurance companies to see if they can work out some way in which the escalating costs of private health insurance can be curtailed.
That would sound a sensible path to be following.
The Minister then gave considerable time to giving everyone his ideas on universal primary health care up to age seven and over 70s, etc., and his wish to concentrate on that aspect of health.
Again, sensible and sound if he can work his way through the labyrinth of the politics of the medical fraternity to achieve that aim.
He made clear what finances he will be seeking for the health services and will not be fobbed off by unrealistic, fanciful budgetary sums.
He also made it clear he will be meeting Michael Noonan and Brendan Howlin as cabinet equals not as a supplicant minister.
The new Minister for Health could reflect on the favourable publicity which followed his media blitz.
Every news bulletin for the day was occupied with what he had said and what it meant.
So, all in all, he would reflect a job well done.
Years ago, I was Minister for Health for just three months.
In November of 1991 Charlie Haughey appointed me Minister for Health following almost five years in the Department of Education.
I had very much enjoyed being Minister for Education coming, as I did, from an education background. It is helpful to know the lingo and something about the workings of the subject matter to which you are being appointed.
Apart from everyday knowledge of health matters, I went to the job with great hopes of working hard and hopefully making a shape at it.
I was determined to learn all I could about health and would go back to my apartment at night loaded with files to study, to read through and to try to understand.
I quickly realised there were a few issues in which I could make a difference and I attended to those quite immediately.
Matters like the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, where the former Eastern Health Board was not giving them - in my view - decent funding.
I got considerable funding for them. I have always admired and retained a great interest in what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre does.
I remember tackling the issue of Aids, the fear of which was sweeping the world, Europe and Ireland and a sort of a mantra by people, 'let's not talk about it because it has to do with sex'.
We worked on a good loud, shouty campaign when I was Minister on that issue and I was glad, in time, to see the threat subside.
I got a decent health budget and was looking forward to a productive time in Hawkins House.
However political matters decreed otherwise. pCharlie was toppled, Albert came in and Dr John O'Connell duly got his reward at being allocated the Department of Health.
Eight Ministers and ten Ministers of State were sacked on the one day - the Valentine's Day Massacre, as it came to be known.
From a distance we can laugh at it, but it was some bravura performance.
No such fate awaits this Minister for Health.
I feel he will concentrate on getting bothersome issues right - some big, some small.
Above all, having laid out his credentials, he will now concentrate on preparations for his budget.
He will also be easing the fears of an early demolition of the Health Services Executive.
It was former Taoiseach Brian Cowen who christened the Department of Health 'Angola'.
I wasn't left there long enough to really judge the politics of it all but I do know that I liked my time there.
I sense that Dr Leo Varadkar has a steady touch and he will not be easily put off whatever he wants to tackle.
I wish him well - may the road rise with him!

Dr Dorchak is a wonderful and friendly doctor. He's been my Gynecologist for 11 years and I refuse to change.
Very good guy and great doc
Seems to only care about himself-not his patients-left me with a huge scar & was rude when incision reopened & got infected. Horrible experience with this doctoe.
I was always hesitant of having a male OB/GYN. I have been his patient now for almost 10 years and could not imagine having anyone else! he accurately diagnosed and treated my PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). He was extremely cautious and attentive during my very high risk pregnancy. He delivered my baby girl via C-Section at 35 weeks and had placed me on bed rest at 31 weeks. The hospital told him they were "to full" to have another surgery on the books, so he sent me that night and had my C-Section. He told the hospital that he was not going to let me have a stroke or a heart attack and they could not tell him how to pick and chose the quality of care. My blood pressure at his office was 165/110. Once at the hospital, it was 160/110. I had ZERO complications from my surgery. ZERO! I cannot even see the incision area. I had no pain, no swelling, NOTHING! He said, "That's how it should be". I was rearranging the hospital room 12 hours after surgery. Once I had my follow up, he and his staff were so very attentive to my post partum depression which happens a lot in women with PCOS. They were wonderful! I recommend him to any and everyone!
I went to see Dr. Dorchak after ny primary doc found a small cyst on my ovary and scheduled the appointment for me. I had also skipped several periods, and was having a few other gyn issues. Once I was in the exam room, I was never examed,the nurse took a small history, and then Dr. Dorchak stepped half-way in the door, laughed and said he didn't know why I was even there, because they didn't treat cysts as small as mine (My primary doc had sent the ultrasound over when they scheduled the appt). Then he turned to leave, I had to follow him out the door to ask about skipping my periods. He told me he could do a bloodtest to see if i was in early menopause, and if I wasn't, he would give me something to re-start my periods. Then he walked off again. I never got the results from the blood test. I was charged 85.00 for an office visit(I had a 25.00 credit), and 125.00 for the blood test. He was my regular ob/gyn, but I haven't been back since. Previously, before a surgery, my husband had to tell him to "wait a minute," so I could ask questions about my surgery. This was his last chance for me.

VP Joe Biden Meeting with Gun and Games Industry Concludes, No Official Statements Yet
Last week, Vice President Joe Biden gathered industry leaders from videogame and gun industries to discuss the issue of gun violence after the tragedy in Sandy Hook.
According to Polygon's sources, so far, things are shaping up to look like the videogame industry will maintain the status quo. Apparently, the vice president was "cordial" and "reasonable" when discussing videogame violence with industry professionals ESA president Michael Gallagher, ESRB president Patricia Vance, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg, EA CEO John Riccitiello, Epic Games former president Mike Capps, and ZeniMax CEO Robert Altman.
The vice president made it clear that he was not singling out the videogame industry, stating "I come to this meeting with no judgment," he said. "You all know the judgment other people have made."
"We're anxious to see if there is anything you can suggest to us [the government]," he stated, because the U.S. has had a "problem beyond quote-unquote massacres."
The goal of Biden's meeting with the entertainment and gun groups is to get a proposal on how the nation is to deal with gun violence. He was tasked with it by President Obama after the elementary school shooting. Whatever Biden's findings are, it's assumed that Obama will be addressing them during his State of the Union speech, which is to come sometime this month.
The good news for concerned gamers is that the vice president doesn't appear to be going the path of be scapegoating the videogames industry like many other politicians and pro-gun groups have done. "We know there is no silver bullet," the vice president said, "we know this is a complex problem. We know there's no single answer."
Biden's meeting with the videogame industry is available for public viewing on YouTube, here.
You obviously don't have a clue how laws are passed in the USA. The House of Representatives writes them. Then Senate has to approve them, then the President.
JOSHSKORNThere is NOTHING WRONG with video game violence. FFS, it's social media and idiotic Super Nanny-dependent parenting. While part of me wants to just blindly adopt Australia's gun control laws, we'll have the exact same problem we did during the Prohibition era, just with guns, instead. Our boarders are not secure enough and Mexico will never have its act together to get rid of the drug cartels, and weapons (guns, particularly) will be smuggled. We practically need a DMZ between the US and Mexico.
I wish people would stop wasting their time talking about treating mental health and focus on the availability of the types of guns people probably shouldn't have (anything concealed, anything automatic). We need to do that, and pass laws on a federal level on obtaining guns. I hear in Arizona, they might as well sell guns at Toys R' Us, it's easy enough to get a gun there.
They could. Perhaps you forget US history, and world history. Remember, history repeats itself.
Remember twenty something years ago when they had this little thing where you could be labeled as a communist by your neighbor and get jailed? Woah! The constitution was already in place then too!
I disagree. I think that video games can have a PROFOUND effect upon youth. If you ARE a young person reading this it is probable that won't notice the effect upon yourself until you are older and reflect back. You may disagree at this point in time, but you must realize that your life is still just begining and you have a very small perspective on which to make your basis upon. It has been researched and said that the adult mind does not stop developing until around age 35. Consider this if you believe you have finally gotten a good grasp on life. I assure you that you will never stop learning, facing new hardships, or developing your perspectives and your character.
The fact is, media influences us. If it didn't advertising wouldn't be a multi-trillion dollar industry.
But aside from the influence, one simply cannot go door to door and take away other people's freedoms.
It is up to parents to keep their children from being influenced by violence in the home - not the responsibility of the government.
Afterall, where does one draw the line? Will we be told that we cannot spank our kids but that Uncle Sam is responsible for that too? Discipline is the job of a parent.
It isn't the job of the government to educate our children when it comes to morals, math, science, politics, religion, sex, or anything else. It is a PARENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO RAISE THEIR CHILD. If you can't handle that responsibility, don't have kids. If you have them anyway, then step up and start learning to be an adult, man or mother. Put the child first, before yourself. It's natural, and the more you do that the more you will come to see it is right. Selfishness only leads to heartache for a parent in the long run.
Not every child is the same, and they cannot be coddled them forever. But as an attentive parent who has educated themselves about how to educate a child we should be able to discern our child's maturity and gauge what they are or are not ready for. Most importantly, we must teach our children the importance of teaching their children, and to impress upon their child that it will also be important to carry on the tradition of eduction throughout future generations.
Having a child is the biggest responsibility one can ever face in life. It far outweighs anything else. We can look back and let the "unfairness" of our childhood rule us, or work to give our children better than what we had despite the hardships that we faced and had to overcome.
Work is only a means to provide, but if we fail to provide other resources, such as our time and our love, such as morals, such as how to share and love others before ourselves, etc. then the child may just as well starve because without learning things like the necessity of self defense but how to properly handle a weapon the end result is death regardless. Food and clothing do not complete Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs.
If you don't know what that is, google it. Take the time to decipher how your parents did, and if you notice an area where your parents could have improved, then make certain you improve that area (and all areas) when you become a parent. At the same time, have some faith that as long as you love your child and try your best - your child will turn out just fine.
P.S. I was raised in a religious home but am an atheist. To further explain my stance I will share this quote:
"A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear and punishment and hope of reward after death." ~ Albert Einstein
Nice wall of (opinion) text there.
Opinions are like @$$holes... everybody has one.
twelch82I still don't really get it. When you look at the data, violent crime in the US is at the lowest rate it's ever been in the history of the country. It was actually highest around the time of the country's founding, before any of the modern media existed.
So, I want to know, what is the assertion of an "epidemic" of violence based on? If the Obama administration has some facts that I haven't seen in regards to evidence of a worsening problem with gun violence, I'd be happy to look at them and reconsider.
Will you run for President? I know too many irresponsible parents that never should have conceived. *smh*
I'm atheist, too. Love this quote.

One of the concepts in the gay gene theory I mentioned is that many gay people make believe they are straight. Therefore if they are taking part in a survey, they will answer that they are straight. This will screw up the survey.
So if a person is a child of a gay man and a gay woman, he will tell you " My parents have gotta be straight, otherwise I would not have been conceived."
These are theories that are unproven. I won't profess to know what causes homosexuality. This thread is not about being gay. It is about how gay marriage is a scam that was invented by divorce lawyers.
I am not making a statement on whether being gay is good or bad, I am asking why have the gay people been allowed to redefine marriage, when all the other kinds of people have not.

While the posted question is basically "Should Gays be able to get a Civil Marriage in the US", the underlying question is "Should Civil Marriage be Gender Neutral in the US?"
To me, there is one basic reason why marriage should be Gender Neutral. Intersex. The simple biological fact that some folks (like me) are not male or female. We are somewhere in between. Intersex folks might be sexually and or romantically attracted to men or women or both. But neither men nor women are our opposite gender. Which means if I (a male appearing intersex person) am attracted to or have sex with a man, it is not a homosexual interaction, as the genders are not the same. Some intersex folks are sterile, many are not.
In the US, there is no legal or moral reason to withhold marriage benefits from childless couples (proud or shamed).
I have yet to hear a legitimate, logical, non-bigoted reason against Gender Equality, Gender Neutral Marriage and Equal Protection under the law in the US.

Of course I can apologize. I'm not some weird obsessed dude
posting on a dating site to rail against a moot point.
Of course, this blather is academic (ha). Gay people simply are born that way, and it's the duty of the government to not enshrine prejudicial systems that would act against them--- like excluding them from the rights and privileges accorded to straight folks.
Seriously, you can't see your own bias here?

Nov 17, 2013 8:10am
This is actually what happens across most of Europe. While I think our society is imploding, that is mostly due to the recession, and nothing to do with gay marriage or adoption laws.
I expect the explanation would be remarkably similar to the answer a straight couple would give.
That's not what the Bible says.
Nov 17, 2013 8:20am
My answer to that is some folks (like you) who advocate Gender Neutral Marriage say that they are intersex not male or female and he/she/it is somewhere in between. If these people are in favor of it, it must be as dumb an idea as it seems to be.
Look you have XY chromosomes or XX chromosomes. You need a fiance' of the opposite sex to get a marriage license in a state that is run by rational people.
Nov 17, 2013 8:41am
I advocate gender-neutral marriage and I am not intersex.
Also, do you enjoy making ad hominem attacks?
Fun fact: Some people have XY chromosomes and are male. Some people have XX and are female. Those two account for about 98% of people. About 1 in 50 people have some kind of sex-chromosome-related anomaly.
Most intersex people have neither XY nor XX, but something else (the most common is XXY, but many other variations exist). Some women have XY chromosomes (CAIS). Some men have XX chromosomes (de la Chapelle syndrome). Some people have both (a specific variation on medical chimerism).
You can't simply reduce a person's gender identity to a chromosome test, because so many people would be failed by such a test.

I am pretty sure that people in the United States do not believe the XXY and XXX genes exist, as we do in Europe.
The goal that liberals should be pursuing is the elimination of marriage as we know it.
Marriage is derived from the old fashioned forms of marriage in which it is about a man's ownership of his wife and children. In a truly enlightened society, we view all people as equals. This concept of a man being the lord and master of the woman, is something that we must make obsolete.
A marriage license should be a contract between person A and Person B.

I have a marriage partner in California, where Judge Vaughn Walker, in an exquisitely detailed ruling made it clear that marriage roles have changed & there is no rational reason for marriage to be anything other than gender neutral.
There do, however seem to be a lot of half-baked, non-rational reasons put forth by ignorant bigots.

I usually try to avoid making ad hominem arguements, It seems to me Max Voltage is a sock puppet who was created to make fun of gay people.

Make fun of gay people?
Sock puppet?
Don't worry, no one is expecting you to back up your silly claims.. it just wouldn't be you.

I can't take you seriously if you bring up this nonsense. You are one of those guys who believe that a homosexual is a man who is too stupid to realize that he is not a woman.
Intersex is a website that pioneered BDSM related video.

They should have named the San Francisco NFL team the Bears.
The Chicago NFL team should be "The Gangsters"
If Toronto had an NFL team they would call it the Mounties
that could be the RCMP or someone who gets mounted by a mounter.

and so have you. I have provided reference that your "democratic" and youth folks don't know how much (few) there are homosexuals over there, and you ignored it. If it's "homophobes" who are biased, why then it's "progressives" who exaggerate homosexuality prevalence by order of magnitude?
Oh well, actually, is the US, almost everyone, including most phD.s has been brainwashed about that.
>You'll need to look into the epigenetics of our species.
Ha. So when genetic hypothesis has been ruled out, epigenetics is the law straw to make it seem homosexuality should neccessarily be present in our species.
Note that the academician says "X influences Y". From where you take a leap of faith and say "See, homosexuality is inborn, I told ya". But, actually, genes and prenatal conditions influence everything -- including from inclinity to listen classical music to have ability to grow muscles. So to prove it's inborn, much more evidence needed. And the epigenetic hypothesis just has been postulated, not verified. Note that you cite publication from popular journal, not scientific one.
So what about that? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20642872
Despite numerous attempts to bias the results in favour of the null hypothesis and allowing for up to 20 (of 63, 32%) coding errors, Cameron's (2006) hypothesis that gay and lesbian parents would be more likely to have gay, lesbian, bisexual or unsure (of sexual orientation) sons and daughters was confirmed
Nov 21, 2013 4:46am
2 thecaveat:
if you insist if somehow adaptive of our species to have some % who are exclusively homosexual, how is intersex condition beneficial to the species? And why many people of Europeoid race have acne? What is the evolutionary benefit of acne?
Nov 21, 2013 4:54am
>Most intersex people have neither XY nor XX, but something else (the most common is XXY,
Educate yourself. Most people with something other than XX/XY are not intersex. And most intersex have still XX or XY. This is because Y chromosome has SRY gene which is only a trigger. It's either present or absent. Having additional copy of it won't turn male into female again. Having extra copy of X chromosome won't make body more female, as X has nothing to do with sex determination. Intersex condition is due to flaws somewhere else, usually hormone receptors are broken, not hormones or SRY itself.
Nov 21, 2013 5:05am
I am not sure about my sexual orientation. And transsexual status.
Am I hetersexual, homosexual or both?
Am I cisgener or transgender, or both?
Can I have a scientific test (like they determine blood group very easily) to settle this issue?
Plllllllease! I got so many discomfort because I don't know. I grew up in haumofobbic Russia, was exposed to social-darwinism before puberty, so I might be very deep in self-denial. So where's the test?
See, it's not science.
If science had proven it's inborn, it would have opened way for selective abortions. Hundreds of millions of responsible parents do not wish for their children to enjoy shorter livespan, small potentional partner pool and (in case of males) much more dense pool of STIs. And some want to have grandchildren, too. So many ppl will pay many $$$ for tests. Why so few people work on that? Maybe because the only researchers who think homosexuality is inborn are ones who just milk taxpayers' money instead for working on market needs?

Many of the people who attended Army Sgt. Matthew Ingram's funeral knew him as the soldier. However, to his mother he will always be her little boy.
"I cuddled him and went to him when he was sick. Remember him when he was praying," said Patricia Ingram.
When one has a loved one in the military, injury or death is always at the back of the mind. Holly Ingram she knew immediately something was wrong.
"When they came knocking on my door I knew what it was," said Holly Ingram.
Iit;s Ingram's own ten month old daughter Cloe who his wife believes will carry on his memory.
"He wasn't afraid to die. He is in a better place. All I can do is honor him and raise our daughter right," said his wife.

I have a fully working 2.6.3 installation - apart from the flash uploader everything is fine.
On the site homepage I have a simple html/php page, part of which pulls the latest posts and comments from the blog using the standard calls -
<?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>`
I've tried to use effectively the same code to pull the same info into the side bar of an SMF forum installation placed at a peer level in the heirarchy (SMF v1.1.7 (latest)) and keep getting the following error
Fatal error: Call to a member function set_prefix() on a non-object in /home/server-user/public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 216
Line 216 of wp-settings.php is -
if ( !defined('WP_LANG_DIR') ) {
plus another 20 lines setting the language directory path
There is NO language directory in default English installs (in either /wp-content/ or in /wp-includes/) and THAT is what is causing the error call.
Even after I added empty /languages/ folders to those paths, the error persisted.
It is going to persist as long as there in no en.mo file in those folders.
(And more importantly to me - no BRITISH English .mo file in there - British typography requires 2

School district sues day care, says it hasn't paid rent
The Ocean View School District filed a lawsuit last week against day care Kids R People 2, saying the business has failed to pay over $28,000 in rent.
Located on the same Huntington Beach property as Meadow View Elementary School, Carden Conservatory School, Kellie's Academy for Kids and the Montessori Child Development Center, Kids R People 2 owner and director Lenia Barba said she is planning on counter-suing the school district because it hasn't allowed her to expand the program to include preschool.
"I've been asking the school district in order for me to meet my rent and my finances to allow me ... to do preschool, and they said no because they don't want the competition," Barba said. "They've been bullies to me."
The school district's attorney Michael Rubino said the lawsuit would be dropped if Barba pays what is due. He said the lawsuit is solely about a failure to pay rent.
"Speaking holistically, we have other preschool programs," said Ocean View School District Superintendent Gustavo Balderas. He would not comment specifically on Barba's claims of difficulties trying to open her own.
This isn't the first time the district says the program has failed to pay rent. The lawsuit that in May 2010, the district sent a notice to Barba to pay over $6,000 in unpaid rent or vacate the premises.
Barba said that in 2010 she was able to work with an attorney to negotiate with the district and pay off what she owed over months. She also said that while she has missed some payments this year, she doesn't owe as much as the suit – which states she has missed her $2,604.55 rent for 11 months – alleges.
"I would fall behind, come in and catch up," she said. "I would go in and overpay; like in January, pay $5,000 and then miss the next month ... I was kind of trying to catch up."
Rubino said Barba doesn't know how much she owes because she has skipped payments for so long.
Barba said that she could apply to begin her preschool business, but said it's complicated because Kids R People 2 operates on the school district's property.
In addition to owing rent, the suit says the business has also failed to pay for trash pick-up, utilities and fees associated with having exclusive use of its bathroom.

According to a newspaper account, a paratrooper survived a training jump from 1220 ft when his parachute failed to open but provided some resistance by flapping in the wind. Allegedly he hit the ground at 97.25 mi/h after falling for 8.5 seconds. To test the accuracy of this account, you should first find the drag coefficient , assuming a terminal velocity of 97.25 mi/h and also that the resistance of the paratrooper falling through the air is proportional to his velocity.
Find ρ knowing that gravity near earth' surface is 32 ft/sec^2
Find D, distance fallen in 8.5 seconds

Young and old bowlers unite
Sayers earn scholarship dollars
The youngest bowler in the 2012 International Family Tournament last summer traveled all the way from Nebraska to Florida to team up with the oldest representative.
The pair, Madison Sayer of Cozad and George Sayer of Lexington qualified for the IFT tournament through the Lakeside Fun Center in Gothenburg last spring.
The Sayer duo took first in their division in Nebraska and qualified for the national tournament in Jupiter, FL, in July.
The pair bowled a dutch game and finished sixth of 32 teams in the division.
Madison earned $400 in scholarship money from the Nebraska win and $1,500 in Florida and she hopes to make a trip to the 2013 IFT with her grandpa again this summer, this time in Ohio.
While at the tournament in Florida, the Sayers got to meet professional bowlers Norm Duke and Stephanie Nation.
The pros were impressed because Madison was the youngest bowler in the tournament at 5 years old and her partner and grandfather George was the oldest at 76.
The Sayers said it was an experience neither will ever forget.

MLB Diary: Red Sox 9, Yankees 7
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of the Boston Red Sox's 9-7 victory over the New York Yankees in tonight's Major League Baseball regular-season opener at Fenway Park. Guest blogger Nando Di Fino offers commentary on the game and the YES telecast.
The 2010 Major League Baseball season begins tonight the way it should every year: with the Yankees and the Red Sox dueling it out in Fenway Park. We would have also accepted Giants-Dodgers and Cubs-Cardinals.
The Yankees are preparing to defend their 27th World Series title with a team that is just a few tweaks away from their 2009 squad. Granted, at this time last year, Cody Ransom was their third baseman and Johnny Damon was patrolling left field, but with some mid-level (for the Yankees at least) moves — trades for outfielder Curtis Granderson and pitcher Javier Vazquez and naming Phil Hughes as their fifth starter — they return essentially the same core group of players.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, look to improve upon a 2009 campaign that ended in a three-game ALDS sweep loss to the Los Angeles Angels with three new additions that put the emphasis back on defense. They harken back to the 2004 late-season trade of Sox legend Nomar Garciaparra for defensive specialists Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera, which eventually brought them the elusive World Series title. Marco Scutaro is the latest in the post-Nomar revolving door of shortstops, Adrian Beltre was signed to play third base, and Mike Cameron will patrol centerfield. The three additions have five Gold Gloves between them.
So pay no attention to that final exhibition game today between the Giants and Mariners, dangling above the real seaon opener on the schedule like a confusing, low-hanging fruit. Instead, re-read former Commissioner Bart Giamatti's paen to the game, "The Green Fields of the Mind" and prepare yourself for the start of a new season with one of the game's oldest rivalries.
0-0 tie; 1st Inning
The first pitch of the 2010 season becomes a groundout by Derek Jeter to Marco Scutaro, who throws over to first for an easy out.
0-0 tie, 1st Inning
One of the things that is refreshingly absent from the 2010 season is the chatter surrounding the World Baseball Classic. I am on record as a fan of the tournament, but it's great to not have to hear the talk about the players who participated, it's nice to have the season starting at a normal time, and if the Yankees or the Red Sox (or both) make it to the postseason, it will be at least a week warmer, since the WBC won't be pushing the season into winter like it did last year.
0-0 tie; 1st Inning
After Nick Johnson drives a ball to deep center, Teixeira grounds out to Youkilis to end the inning. Jacoby Ellsbury leads off the Boston half of the inning with a flyout to Granderson in center. So if you're keeping track at home, three of the four fielding plays thus far have been made by new additions.
0-0 tie; 1st Inning
Michael Kay on the YES Network: "It is about the most beautiful day you will see" at any point this season for a baseball game. And he's right. It was 82 in Boston today on a date you might have expected to be 45 and windy.
0-0 tie; 1st Inning
Sabathia retires the side in order in a relatively unremarkable half-inning — outside of him retiring his former catcher with Cleveland, Victor Martinez, for the last out — as Michael Kay points out that the YES Network will tally pitch count all year long as part of the graphic under the score. This is one of those "why did it take so long?" inventions in televised sports.
0-0 tie; 2nd Inning
The Red Sox lineup this year comes with a lot of flexibility. For those readers wondering (including online questioner Joe), for instance, where Jason Varitek and Mike Lowell are, the answer is: the dugout. Victor Martinez is catching and Adrian Beltre is playing third base. However, they can always shift some players around — have Varitek catch, Martinez play first, Youkilis play the outfield or third — and work the veterans in.
1-0 Yankees, 2nd Inning
Jorge Posada just hit one of the most unique-to-Fenway homeruns a baseball fan will see. It hit the Pesky Pole in short right (Pesky was, ironically, introduced to a roaring Fenway during pregame ceremonies), and bounced onto the field. Â 1-0, Yankees.
2-0 Yankees; 2nd Inning
Curtis Granderson just hit one of the most not-unique-to-any-park home runs a fan will see, as he absolutely drills a Beckett pitch to deep centerfield. It's his first as a Yankee, and it came in his first at-bat. I am sure we will have some kind of specific stat soon from the booth (for example: "Curtis Granderson is just the 23rd Yankee to hit a home run in his first at-bat for the Yankees!"), but for now, it is 2-0, Yankees, and Red Sox fans have to be at least a little concerned that the homer-prone Beckett is not starting the season off on the right foot.
2-0 Yankees; 2nd Inning
Derek Jeter grounds into a fielders choice to Scutaro — they barely get Brett Gardner at second — on Beckett's 36th pitch of the game (YES, you've done it again! Pitch counter!). It was a little weird seeing the Yankees bat around without Hideki Matsui in the lineup, less so without Damon in there, but we move on to the bottom of the second, with the Yankees ahead, 2-0.
2-1 Yankees; 2nd Inning
David Ortiz is one of the bigger question marks in baseball this season. He is in his contract year, but still managed to almost hit 30 home runs last season, even though he was a disaster for more than half the year. He grounds out in his first at-bat of 2010, but advances Kevin Youkilis to third. Youkilis scores on a deep sacrifice fly to center by Adrian Beltre. Two outs, the Yankees lead, 2-1. Two of the three runs have been driven in by new acquisitions.
2-1 Yankees; 2nd Inning
Sabathia gets J.D. Drew to strike out, ending the second inning with the Yankees ahead, 2-1. Not to take us off the rails here, but I was getting a lot of texts about Donovan McNabb being traded to the Washington Redskins, and the Eagles just confirmed it. A second-round pick this year and a third-or-fourth round pick next year go back to the Eagles. Just to at least justify this news somehow in a baseball live blog, this would be akin to the Yankees trading Derek Jeter to Baltimore for a couple prospects.
2-1 Yankees; 3rd Inning
The Yankees getting Nick Johnson is going to kill the pace of the games this season. Yankees fans will hear two things about Johnson this year: 1. He will walk a lot, and 2. He gets inured a lot. When he steps up to bat, it's going to be like that part of a concert you go to where the band plays boring new songs. Half the stadium will get up and go to the bathroom, knowing that Johnson will probably see 116 pitches per at-bat and slow the game down considerably.
2-1 Yankees; 3rd Inning
Nick Johnson, on cue, walks. Teixeira follows it up with a fly out, and A-Rod grounds into a double play (started by Scutaro) to end the inning. We go to the bottom of the third with the Yankees ahead, 2-1, and Boston's new centerfielder, Mike Cameron, leading off. But first, YES introduces another new feature of the game, with some on-field reporting by Kim Jones. In all honesty, it's actually pretty informative. Jones gives three solid tidbits on Sabathia's mechanics, Brett Gardner's move to left field, and the 8th-inning reliever role.
2-1 Yankees; 3rd Inning
Words you may never hear again from the mouth of Michael Kay: "And you just saw Dr. Dre next to LeBron."
James, a friend of Sabathia's, is at Fenway Park after playing the Celtics today. Mike Cameron is at first base after walking, but Scutaro lines sharply to A-Rod at third, who then fires it to first to double off Cameron. He might have been safe as he dove back to first, but there's no real argument and Dustin PedroiaJacoby Ellsbury grounds to third to end the inning. Yankees lead, 2-1, as we go to the top of the fourth.
2-1 Yankees, 4th Inning
Robinson Cano leads off the fourth with a deep fly to left that glances off a leaping Ellsbury's glove and bounces away from him, sending Cano to second. Posada advances Cano to third on a groundout, followed by a Granderson groundout to Youkilis that fails to plate the runner. Nick Swisher, who at this time last year was an afterthought in a trade from Chicago for Wilson Betemit, walks. There are men on first and third with two outs, and Brett Gardner is up.
3-1 Yankees; 4th Inning
As different as the Yankees and the Red Sox try to be, they do have this in common: they both pushed speedster centerfielders to left in order to make room in center for their new acquisitions. For the Red Sox, it was Ellsbury; for the Yankees, it was Gardner. Both could have very similar seasons, with a decent average and plenty of steals. On Beckett's 68th pitch of the game, Gardner singles a 3-2, two-out pitch to left for a run-scoring single. It's Gardner's second opposite-field hit of the night. 3-1, Yankees.
4-1 Yankees, 4th Inning
Beckett then narrowly misses Jeter, brushing him inside around stomach level with a pitch, bringing Martinez out to try and calm him down. As revenge, Jeter grounds a ball past a diving (who else?) Scutaro, scoring Swisher and sending Gardner to third. All four of the Yankees runs tonight have been scored with two outs. Nick Johnson is up, so expect your next update in five minutes. 4-1, Yankees.
5-1 Yankees; 4th Inning
Scott Schoeneweis is warming up in the Red Sox bullpen. Two pitches after Ken Singleton said we should watch for a steal by Jeter, to "maybe steal a run here," Jeter steals second and Gardner steals home. The plan, according to the booth, was a designed play for Jeter to stop running, get himself in a rundown, and allow Gardner to score while the infielders were trying to get Jeter out. The throw went to second from Victor Martinez, Jeter stopped, but jogged to second, as the throw immediately went back home to try and get Gardner. Gardner scores, Jeter is safe at second, and it's 5-1, Yankees. Nick Johnson strikes out looking, and we move to the bottom of the fourth.
5-1 Yankees; 4th Inning
CC Sabathia wins a footrace to first as Pedroia slides head-first into the base and is called out in the second close play of the night that has gone New York's way. Pedroia gets up and throws a right hook at nobody in particular, which couldn't be more inappropriate:
1. It could have been construed as a punch thrown in the umpire's direction (from five feet away)
2. It is the gesture for "out," not "safe."
3. It looked more celebratory. Pedroia looked legitimately like a Duke player who had just hit a big three-pointer.
The Sox go down 2-3 after Pedroia's "1." We go to the top of the fifth with the Yankees ahead, 5-1.
5-1 Yankees; 5th Inning
Beckett is on pitch 85 right now, and seems to be all over the place, with 36 balls to 49 strikes. Teixeira and A-Rod go down quickly, but Robinson Cano hits another hard ball, this time to right. J.D. Drew plays it "beautifully," according to Kay, and holds Cano at first on a shot that 85% of the time is probably a double. Drew just one-handed it, turned, and threw a rocket to second base.
5-1 Yankees; 5th Inning
Jorge Posada walks on pitch 94 from Beckett. Terry Francona comes in and yanks his number-one starter with two outs in the top of the fifth. Scott Schoeneweis comes in to pitch just as Michael Kay mentions that many Sox fans thought Jon Lester should have gotten the start instead.
5-1 Yankees; 5th Inning
Schoeneweis, a lefty, is a little all over the place with his first few offerings to the lefty Granderson, including a wild pitch and a nearly-hit batsman, but he manages to strike out the new centerfielder, and we go to the bottom of the fifth with the Yankees up, 5-1.
5-1 Yankees; 5th Inning
Sabathia has only thrown 63 pitches at this point, which is as good a time as any to bring up this stat from ESPN: the Yankees are the only team with three pitchers on their current staff who threw 200+ IP last year (Sabathia, Javier Vazquez, A.J. Burnett). Andy Pettitte just missed with 194 2/3.
5-1 Yankees; 5th Inning
Beckett's final line included five runs, eight hits, three walks, and two home runs. In last year's the 2008 opener against Toronto, he gave up five runs on three hits and five four walks, with one home run. Before that, he had all stellar starts going back to 2003, when Philly hammered him in 2 2/3 innings pitched.
5-2 Yankees; 5th Inning
J.D. Drew gets the second hit of the game for the Red Sox, followed by Cameron getting the third, after Ortiz popped out and Beltre struck out to lead it off. With men on first and second, Scutaro ropes a hit to left, which Gardner almost chased down but seemed to pull up on. He then makes a wild throw that comes nowhere near home plate, allowing Drew to score, and Cameron and Scutaro to advance to third and second, respectively. 5-2, Yankees.
5-2 Yankees, 5th Inning
Ellsbury strikes out to end the fifth. 5-2, Yankees. We learned two things this inning: First, moving Gardner to left may take a little while to get used to for Yankees fans (or, being the Yankees, expect to see a chorus of fans chanting for the signing of Jermaine Dye in the next couple weeks). Second, David Ortiz needs to start clicking, or one of those moving parts I mentioned earlier could be DH.
5-2 Yankees, 6th Inning
Schoeneweis gets Swisher and Garndner on two quick outs, then is yanked in favor of Ramon Ramirez. While we have the pitching change, here is a bit of fun "Where Are They Now?" trivia: Tony Womack, who briefly played second base for the Yankees before they called up Robinson Cano, enlisted the help of three people he recruited in a bar this past weekend and finished in second place (out of twenty entries) in the Cuervo Games in Tempe, Ariz.
5-2 Yankees, 6th Inning
Jeter singles off Ramirez, followed by a Nick Johnson liner to center. It's 5-2, Yankees as they go to the bottom of the sixth.
5-2 Yankees; 6th Inning
If I had to rate the new additions to YES tonight, I think it would be:
Pitch counter – 5 stars (out of 5)
In-game info visits with Kim Jones – 4 1/2 stars
The little arrow next to the inning which indicates whether it's the bottom or the top half – 3 1/2 stars
Obsession with making references to LeBron James – 1 star
5-2 Yankees; 6th Inning
Pedroia walks to start off the bottom of the sixth, followed by a rope by Victor Martinez to left for a double. Gardner makes an on-line throw to A-Rod at third, where Ellsbury decides to hold. Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland just pulled a move after a visit to the mound that I don't think I've ever seen before: he took the ball with him and then flipped it to a fan behind the dugout.
5-4 Yankees; 6th Inning
Youkilis lines a ball to right that lands about six feet to the left of Nick Swisher and ships by him to the wall. There's a great shot of fans screaming at Swisher with middle fingers raised as he runs it down and fires it to the infield, but it is too late. Two runs score, Youkilis has a triple, and the Yankees lead is cut to 5-4.
5-4 Yankees; 6th Inning
David Ortiz hits a broken-bat dribbler to Cano, who pulls a great move by pumping to the plate while running towards first, which accomplished the dual goal of holding Youkilis at third and getting Ortiz at first. Sabathia is being pulled with a man on third and a one-run lead.
5-5 tie; 6th Inning
David Robertson's first pitch of the inning is hit past Cano in the first-second hole by Adrian Beltre for a run-scoring single. It's a tie ballgame, 5-5, with one out in the bottom of the sixth.
5-5 tie; 6th Inning
I know it doesn't hold the same importance as having it for the starters, but there is no pitch counter for David Robertson, and, I can only assume, the rest of the relievers. YES should really keep that up throughout the game. Not because it serves any real purpose, but because you get used to it and want to check every so often just out of habit.
Drew and Cameron ground out to end the inning. We go to the top of the seventh, a 5-5 tie.
5-5 tie; 7th Inning
After Teixeira walks, A-Rod hits a bullet against the Green Monster — maybe 10 feet too low for a home run — and the Yankees have runners on second and third with no outs. Ramirez is being pulled in favor of lefty reliever Hideki Okajima, who will face a lefty (Cano), a switch-hitter (Posada), and another lefty (Granderson), if there are no double-plays.
7-5 Yankees; 7th Inning
Cano grounds to Pedroia, who pumps towards the plate then decides to throw to first for the out. Teixeira scores, Ken Singleton feels that if Pedroia didn't pump he would've gotten the runner at home, A-Rod advances to third, and the Yankees lead, 6-5.
Before YES gets a chance to show a fifth replay of the Cano RBI, Posada strokes a single that scores A-Rod from third. 7-5, Yankees.
7-5 Yankees; 7th Inning
And we have the first Michael Kay pun of the night: Curtis arrived "in Grand-erson style"! Huzzah!
7-5 Yankees; 7th Inning
A walk by Granderson pushes Posada to second, with one out. And we interrupt this Nick Swisher at-bat to let all fans know that Chan Ho Park is warming up in the Yankees bullpen. We should probably interrupt the interruption to let fans know that Chan Ho Park is on the Yankees. Swisher grounds into a double-play to end the inning, with the Yankees leading, 7-5, heading into the seventh-inning stretch.
7-5 Yankees; 7th Inning
Michael Kay is reporting that Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith, sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch.
7-5 Yankees; 7th Inning
Chan Ho Park's first pitch of the game is high and inside as Scutaro sets up to bunt, making this our third almost-hit-batter of the game.
7-7 tie; 7th Inning
Park gives up a single to Scutaro, strikes out Ellsbury, then allows a home run just next to the left-field foul pole over the Green Monster to Pedroia. It is a 7-7 tie once again.
7-7 tie; 7th Inning
After Martinez grounds out to Cano, Youkilis launches a ball that just missed a Green Monster home run, instead bouncing down for a double. The Kay Pun Count is now at two, as he notes that "Chan Ho couldn't keep it in the Park," and Damaso Marte enters the game with two outs and a tie ballgame.
8-7 Red Sox; 7th Inning
David Ortiz is up in a spot that will either earn him weeks of reverence in New England, or have most of the region shaking their heads, saying he's through. Just as Michael Kay mentions that Marte has been bothered by a cranky shoulder, he skips his first pitch in the dirt to Posada's left for a wild pitch, moving Youkilis to third. Three pitches later, a ball bounces off Posada's mitt for a passed ball, and Youkilis scores. 8-7, Red Sox. Marte walks Ortiz and is promptly yanked.
8-7 Red Sox; 7th Inning
Joba Chamberlain comes in to get the last out for the Yankees and mercifully end an inning that seemed to last for a solid two hours. We are through seven innings, with the Red Sox leading, 8-7.
8-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
Bard induces Gardner and Jeter groundouts to start the inning, bringing up Nick Johnson, who is working on a mustache. Quick thought: if you know the date of Opening Night for months, why would you be halfway through the mustache-growing process? Wouldn't you have started growing it a couple weeks ago to have it ready for today?
8-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
Nick Johnson walks (template to be created in time for next Yankees live blog). Randy Winn, a relatively late signing by the Yankees, enters the game as a pinch runner, but it is all for naught, as Teixeira grounds into a fielders choice. 8-7, Red Sox, as we go to the bottom of the eighth.
8-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
Fans at this game are going to tell their kids they went to a concert and a baseball game broke out. The Sox brought out Neil Diamond to sing "Sweet Caroline," which they play after the top of the eighth inning every game, one inning after Steven Tyler sang "God Bless America." To sum up: a one-run game with plenty of offensive firepower in one of the nation's best parks between the game's two best teams on what Michael Kay described as the best day anyone could ask for. Plus Neil Diamond. And Steven Tyler. This is how you open a baseball season.
8-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
It is also, coincidentally, how you open a Denny's.
8-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
Joba had a promising start to the inning, getting Drew to quickly ground out to third, but I think the fact that Fenway Park is doing The Wave right now indicates how much the game has slowed down as Joba paints every corner of the plate. Mike Cameron is on second after a single up the middle and a walk to Scutaro.
9-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
After Ellsbury flies out to shallow center, Pedroia lines a ball to right. A charging Swisher makes a good throw to almost get Cameron at the plate, but no dice. 9-7, Red Sox, with two outs and runners on first and third. Pedroia has three RBI on the night and will now probably get the lions share of the text votes for Player of the Game.
9-7 Red Sox; 8th Inning
The pitch counter is back! Joba has thrown 31 pitches! The Joba Rules live on the YES Network! Pitch number 32 is a fly out to Swisher in right, and we go to the top of the ninth, with the Red Sox ahead, 9-7. Jonathan Papelbon will come on to try and finish the game for Boston.
9-7 Red Sox; Final
Papelbon makes short work of A-Rod and Cano to start the ninth. "The Yankee bullpen has not done the job," Kay notes, in the understatement of the game. Posada singles with two outs, but Curtis Granderson grounds out on a 1-2 pitch to end the game. The Red Sox win, 9-7, to take a commanding 1/2 game lead in the AL East over the Orioles, Rays, and Blue Jays.
The story of the game tonight can best be represented by David Ortiz in 2009. On paper, it looks like he had a good season, but it really was just a couple very exciting months in a sea of "blah." This Yankees-Red Sox tilt had a few fun parts, but the whole was a display of poor relief pitching and a game that seemed a little boring at stretches.
Did we learn anything from Opening Night? Maybe. The Red Sox and Yankees have no problem taking walks this year, for one. The moves the teams made in the offseason seem to be the right ones, at least in the small sample size of Just One Game. CC Sabathia is a fun pitcher to watch. Ken Singleton may have psychic powers. And Nick Johnson needs to buy either a calendar or a razor.
If this game was played two months from now, we'd probably see a much different result, with players being more focused and displaying more stamina. For now, though, it was kind of a messy, yet exciting debut. A paradox, so to speak. But it did see the debut of the YES pitch counter, and they can never take that away from us.
My prediction is that we'll see these two teams beating up on each other for the rest of the season. Whether or not the Rays can take advantage of that and sneak past both — like that lucky contestant who is in third-place heading into Final Jeopardy and bets nothing, while the two leaders guess wrong and knock each other out — remains to be seen. I'd like to say it's going to be fun, but with the relief we saw tonight, that could be far from the truth.

This Is Great tasting. Love the garlic flavor in the mayonnaise. Made this to go with the Moroccan Olive Flatbread #191057 By: Sharon123. This was easy to make. Made for ZWT6 for the No-Nonsense Nibblers.
Fantastic! If you like zingy mayonnaises, you are gonna LOVE this! Just the right amount of garlic for me (no vampires tonight!) and the black olives and parsley add another dimension of taste that is wonderful. I even dipped some cold asparagus and celery sticks in it. Used light mayo and only about 1/2 the olive oil called for (trying to watch my girlish figure). Thanks for this great keeper Sharon123 :)

Each time Paris Hilton's Crazy Parade takes another lap around Hollywood, we discover a new, exquisitely designed float. Today's rolling exhibit is topped by a statute of Lady Justice fashioned from hot pink flowers, exposing not only her traditionally uncovered bosom, but scandalously drawing aside her robe to give onlookers an eyeful of her exposed ladyflower. Thanks to Hilton, float sponsor Valtrex can now add "threatening to have social acquaintances killed" to fun activities one can once again enjoy when relieved of herpes symptoms by their medicine, as today Paris was slapped with a restraining order at the behest of an "event producer" who'd run afoul of the heiress:
In September 2004, [event producer Brian] Quintana said he became friends with Stavros Niarchos, and later became his "PR rep." He introduced Niarchos to Hilton, and they started dating.
Quintana, 37, testified his relationship with Hilton changed in November when "Paris accused me of planting unfavorable stories toward her in the press."
Hilton shoved him in the chest, he said.
Quintana testified that Hilton interrupted a conversation he was having with Niarchos — initially out of her earshot — about a call he had received from the tabloid Star Magazine.
"I wanted to make sure that he was aware that she might have herpes," Quintana said on the stand. Outside of court, Quintana's attorney Richard Sherman said they had no specific knowledge about any medical condition Hilton may have.
Quintana testified that if a story had been published, Hilton would have threatened him. In December, Quintana said he got a phone call from Hilton, who was in Hawaii. She allegedly said, "I'm going to put a contract out on you."
Fortunately for all involved, Hilton probably became distracted by a hunt for Hawaii-based paparazzi before following through on the hit, and Quintana lived long enough to file the court papers resulting in today's landmark decision in the annals of celebutante jurisprudence. But according to the report on the judgment, "because Quintana and Hilton sometimes attend the same events, it likely will not be a standard 100-yard stay-away order," leaving us to fear that even our legal system is powerless to stop Hilton from fully actualizing her God-given fame-whoring abilities.

Publisher's Description
Most people think of weakness as purely negative, but true Christianity embraces weakness as a way of life. In this collection of meditations on 2 Corinthians, renowned Bible scholar and theologian J. I. Packer reflects on the central importance of weakness for the Christian life. He exhorts readers to look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment in the midst of their own sin and frailty. Now in his mid-eighties, Packer mediates on the truths of Scripture with pastoral warmth and exegetical care, drawing on lessons learned from the experience of growing older and coming face-to-face with his own mortality. Overflowing with wisdom gleaned from a life of obedience to Christ and dependence on his Word, this encouraging book ultimately directs readers to the God who promises to be ever-present and all-sufficient.

Dr NicholsonCaliforniaAge: 35-44Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5A vital topic for every Christian to considerNovember 13, 2013Dr NicholsonCaliforniaAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Weakness Is the Way: Life with Christ Our Strength.This review, by Dr. Nicholson, has been provided courtesy of Desert Bible Institute (www.desertbibleinstitute.com).
We, as Americans, are an extremely proud people. Dr. Packer shows in his book Weakness is the Way how only through embracing the reality of our weakness and turning our full need to God can we start to glorify Him and allow change to be worked in ourselves.
The opening of this book is rock solid. Packer gives a detailed definition of weakness with both various biblical allusions and personal anecdotes that make the subject matter come alive for his audience. He uses, primarily, First and Second Corinthians to show the biblical example of God's people dealing with both spiritual and physical weakness. He augments this with a great deal of chapter-and-verse support. He concludes his opening points with his own "gloom and discouragement" in dealing with physical, and then mental, weakness in his own life.
Throughout the book, Packer manages his trademark smooth, conversational style making the whole experience more like having a conversation with a knowledgeable grandfather than a preeminent biblical scholar. Packer offers a clear, didactic structure to his audience. He regularly employs an organization of: definition, explanation (through visual, allusion, or analogy), and application.
He further educates his audience by using strong, descriptive, concise language that forces the audience to expand their vocabulary and understanding of the topic. He shows his audience the respect of leaving the academic bar set high but, unlike many biblical writers, takes the time to explain what he is saying in a way that makes his more complex ideas understandable. An example of this is how Packer explains the unique structure of both Greek and Pauline grammar and style in a way that is challenging to the novice or student yet is still approachable.
The second half of the book; however, lacks some of the vigor of the first. Packer uses the controversial topic of tithing to show our innate human weakness, sinfulness, and need to give over to God all of our weakness. He stresses how we must recognize our reliance on the Lord. It seems from the attention that Packer gives this subject that his position is that this is one of the greatest trials for most Christians, although he never really comes out and says as much. While the point is well taken (and apropos to the topic) he spends over a quarter of the book talking about it.
Packer then concludes his work explaining how through working with God through our weakness we have a hope that the rest of the world will never know. While again appropriate, Packer seems to spend an inordinate amount of time on the topics of tithing and hope without smoothly working them into the powerful first half of the book. It gives the impression that these were two separate essays and, while connected the topic, weren't exclusively created as part of the book as a whole. The last half of the book therefore lacks the focus, alacrity, and purpose that the first half of the book contains. While still good, and basically relevant, it leaves the audience feeling like they just watched the second-half of a Super-Bowl with neither side scoring a point: interested but somewhat unsatisfied.
While this book falls short of other works by Packer, like Knowing God and A Quest for Godliness, this is still a well-written, well-formatted work that ultimately belongs in every Christian's library if for no other reason than the importance of the topic itself.
