Transportation bill has some 'dirty little secrets'
July 6, 2013
Editor: There are "dirty little secrets" in the new 2014 transportation bill that Congress doesn't want you to know about....
And all these things happen why? Because the people of this nation have become lazy and apathetic to what their elected officials are doing to them.
I am still wondering just how much farther these arrogant millionaire liars/thieves/connivers in our govt will be allowed to go before the "people" wake up and take advantage of their RIGHTS and POWER given them under our Constitution and kick them all to the curb! Well, we'll see if the people of this nation get any smarter. Hopefully these traitors are gone next election.

It's sad to see Dan Winslow jump out of the rowboat holding the tiny Republican delegation on Beacon Hill.� He's smart, likeable, experienced, innovative – exactly the kind of opposition Democrats in the Legislature need. I think he would have been a much better opponent for Ed Markey than Gabriel Gomez turned out to be, but he came in third in the GOP primary.
Like many other great Massachusetts GOP hopes – Scott Brown, Paul Cellucci, etc. – Winslow left politics because he could make more money elsewhere.� Try to pay state legislators more than middle managers at middle-sized corporations and the Republicans are the first to scream about it.� But they are the party with trouble recruiting candidates because their brightest lights can't handle the cut in pay.
I don't know why the Republican Party doesn't attract people who are motivated by the urge to serve that seems to make Democrats willing to make the sacrifices politics at the state and local level require. It may be that those motivated by political service join the party most likely to offer opportunities.� If most office-holders were Republicans, it would be easier for the Mass. GOP to attract talent.� I expect this is the case in solid Republican states.� The result, though, is that one-party states stay one-party states. Massachusetts Republicans have had a weak bench as long as I can remember, and its tiny pool of talent just got tinier.

Oops, something didn't work.
It looks like there'll be a slight learning curve to learn how to call the right pieces, but this can really cut down on development and increase consistency.
I smell the re-birth of Shadow Applications!
It seems you're mp4 encoder is a bit off? sound is great, but video having major issues.
Can you elaborate? What application + OS are you using to watch the the MP4 and what are the video issues, exactly? Thanks!
We have a bunch of departmental apps (.NET 1.1 and some VB6) which I want to bring into the new world. They haven't had a refresh in a long time, and I want to see how fast I can get the same app working in the same way using LightSwtich
Great presentation. Beth is a pretty smart girl and cathes up quickly
This product is really going to push Silverlight into the market.
Thanks! My mom always tells me that too.
Looking forward to your feedback once the beta is released Aug 23rd!
I have a couple of questions to ask the team. Could you tell me who I should post my questions to?
Your video feed stops, loads, plays repeatedly... Not pleasant to watch! Thanks!
Hi Ben,
You can ask questions in the LightSwitch Forums -- the team is hanging out here answering:
Thanks for the feedback!
Hmm.. I'm not seeing that. Sometimes I have better luck downloading the low res WMV under downloads.
This video bring me fond memories of Microsoft Acropolis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_codename_%22Acropolis%22). Does LightSwitch use CAB or Prism behind the scenes?
Just in case someone wonder what Acropolis were: http://windowsclient.net/acropolis/
Hi guercheLE,
No, LightSwitch isn't dependent on these frameworks but you will see similar patterns. Take a look at this post and the comments on the team blog - I think it will answer your questions:
I have really enjoyed your videos on visual basic,wpf, etc. I really hope someone fixes this video, The buffer plays for less than twenty seconds and I really can not understand what is happening. I would greatly appreciate if someone would fix this issue. My computer has windows 7 and the latest wmv player. Please pass on this information
Beth and Joe, thank you for this video. It really shows in practical terms how extending LightSwitch apps is more than a rhetorical talking point. Its real and it's practical. And it's also not that hard.
Yes - I've had the same experience. Very frustrating to watch.
its better to download the video than watching it online
maybe the silverlight team should improve their video rendering,
Gr8 work
Trying to see full screen brings up a Silverlight message. Try to answer it anyway crashes the browser displaying a sad face probably created using Expression Blend.
Really is a wonderful tool will be successful in the final release

There's nothing like sailing to promote teamwork and teach people to push themselves.
That's what made the Spirit of South Carolina such a great educational opportunity.
"Sail training is a pretty amazing institution," said Forrest Richards. Richards is chief mate on the schooner Geronimo. He was also the chief mate on the Spirit of South Carolina.
The Geronimo is one of several tall ships in town through the weekend at the Charleston Maritime Center. The ship, owned and maintained by St. George's School in Newport, R.I., has a very specific mission: turtle tagging. Students on board catch, tag and release turtles, while still keeping up with their regular schoolwork.
"We stopped in Charleston for all the really cool ecological stuff," said second mate Barbara Krasinski.
The Spirit, which has been at the dock at the maritime center since February 2012, hosted more than 9,500 students from 77 South Carolina schools on day trips and overnight voyages.
But since last year, it's been sitting and waiting for a buyer. The S.C. Maritime Foundation's finances went south and they need to sell the ship, currently priced around $2.25 million.
But there's a glimmer of hope that the Spirit will not only sail again but sail out of Charleston.
Rare opportunity
Builder and Maritime Foundation member Hank Hofford is working with a group that's negotiating to buy the ship.
He doesn't want to divulge too many details but said the existing mortgage holder, TD Bank, has been great about working with them. And he praised Teddy Turner and the Turner Foundation for helping to keep the boat afloat, as it were.
The buyers would likely establish themselves as a nonprofit, he said.
They would try to make it available for tours to generate some income and then restart the educational ventures.
Those day trips and overnight trips were invaluable to the students who participated. More than 50 percent of them were enrolled at Title I schools, which means their chances of getting out on the water, let alone a sailboat, were probably slim to start with.
So Hofford is cautiously optimistic.
"It is a local group, they're in a reasonably good position to have some success with it," he says.
Community effort
He cautioned that it's not done yet. Banks are not handing out money like they used to, particularly for an educational venture like the Spirit, he said, but the current lender has been extremely cooperative.
"We're excited," he said. "We just kind of kept working on it quietly. It's been a long 3-4 years for us."
They're going to need help to do it, of course. There were several hundred volunteers associated with the Spirit in its heyday. Hofford says those who are interested can call him at 722-8169, ext. 224.
"We'd love to get them back with us sooner rather than later," Hofford said.
If they can pull it off, it'll be a great accomplishment for them, a great redemption for the ship, and once again, a great educational opportunity for South Carolina students.

SALEM - The city government ended 2012 with a more than $1 million carryover to start 2013, but city Auditor Betty Brothers said being conservative is still the game plan she's recommending for this year.
"My advice is to do business as usual and be conservative. We can't throw caution to the wind now that we have this carryover," she said Friday.
According to the final calculations, the carryover actually totaled $2,394,579, but to be fair, she said the $1,352,053 received for the oil and gas lease should not be counted since its a one-time windfall. There's also encumbrences or bills left over from 2012 totaling $10,067 which have to be subtracted out, leaving a true carryover of about $1,032,459.
Brothers said that's an amount $119,390 higher than last year's carryover.
"This is a lot higher than I projected," she said.
She pointed out that the estate tax which is no longer being collected this year can't be budgeted because there's no way to know how many estates will be processed to affect the city. In 2012, the city received $225,352 in estate taxes. She said the city will likely receive some estate tax funding this year, too, but only for estates left over from 2012.
Brothers called the carryover this year very healthy, but added "you have to keep in mind all the revenue we're losing."
She was referring not only to the estate tax, but also to the Local Government Fund cut and the fact that the SAFER grant used to bring back two firemen from layoff a couple years ago ends in April.
The budget approved by council last month took that into account, with the salaries to be covered by the fire department appropriation.
Income tax revenue also exceeded expectations, with total income tax receipts at $4.3 million for 2012. She had projected an income of $3.9 million for 2012, but bumped the estimate for this year to $4.1 million.
In looking at actual expenses for 2012, she said the final total was $4,785,735. Actual revenue for the year, not considering the carryover from 2011 or 2012 or the oil and gas lease money, totaled $4,905,126.
No decision has been made by council regarding what to do with the $1.35 million from the oil and gas lease deal. She said it will likely come up during a Finance Committee meeting of city council.
She said she would like to see the money used to pay down the city's debt.
City council approved budget appropriations for 2013 last month, with expected general fund expenses of $4,787,641 for this year, total revenue of $4,414,541 and a carryover estimated at a little less than $1 million that has already come out higher.
During the next city council meeting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 15, Mayor John Berlin is expected to talk about the city's finances and will deliver his State of the City address.

Kuchar, Johnson, Haas commit to Kapalua, other big names don't
December 27, 2012 - Robert Collias
Here is the lead to a press release I received from the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Wednesday:
Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii — Matt Kuchar, winner of THE PLAYERS Championship in 2012, has recently committed to play at the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions at The Plantation Course at Kapalua, January 3-7, 2013. Kuchar is joined by fellow Ryder Cup team member, Dustin Johnson, and 2010 FedExCup Champion, Bill Haas.
"It is our pleasure to welcome Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson and Bill Haas back to Kapalua for the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions," said Executive Director Nancy Cross. "These three players are great additions to the Hyundai Tournament of Champions field and will bring excitement to Kapalua as we kickoff the 2013 FedExCup season on the PGA TOUR."
The TOC field is taking shape, as we reported last week. Defending champion Steve Stricker will be a favorite again in my eyes. Stricker also notes there will be a different feeling with the TOC being the PGA Tour kickoff event for the final time, next week.
On a somewhat disappointing note, we have confirmed that Tiger Woods, currently ranked third in the Official World Golf Rankings, will not be among the final list of entrants when the deadline to commit to the field happens at noon HST on Friday. Others who will not be here include 17th-ranked Phil Mickelson, and No. 1 Rory McIlroy, neither one a surprise. No. 2 Luke Donald and No. 4 Justin Rose will also not be in the field.
A couple of notable surprises who will also not be here are former champions Sergio Garcia and — in an absolute shocker — Ernie Els. Els simply loves the Plantation Course, where he set a PGA Tour-record 31-under-par score in 2003.
With fifth-ranked Adam Scott, No. 6 Louis Oosthuizen and No. 7 Lee Westwood not eligible — they didn't win a PGA Tour event in 2012, a requirement to be in this field — the top-ranked player to be here will be No. 8 Bubba Watson.
One season after six players eligible to play here who were ranked in the top 10 skipped the event, this time around four will — and they just happen to be the top four in the world.

When it comes to her current love life, Jennie Garth has a new mantra.
"I'm learning to date again," the actress, who split from husband Peter Facinelli in March 2012, tells Health in its January issue, "[and] looks aren't important to me anymore. ... I like positive energy."
The actress, who dropped 30 lbs. last year, plans to keep her health a priority in 2013.
"Every day, I just renew my healthy choices," she says. "I feel really good about myself now, and I don't want to do anything to change that."
That means avoiding trendy diets or weight-loss gimmicks.
"My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets: Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet," Garth, 40, says. "I lost like 18 lbs., but it came right back. The worst was fasting with colonics for three or four days. It was the most horrifying experience ever."
In addition to her body, Garth says she's trying to maintain a positive outlook, even when times are tough.
"When I'm in excruciating pain, like with what I've been through with my breakup and that grief and loss that's just immobilizing, it helps to remember that it only lasts for 13 to 15 minutes, max," she tells Health. "And then it's over."
"Your mind is ready to go to something else," Garth continues. "You might come back to it, but it helps to just know that that pain is not going to last forever."

While GM has generated a media frenzy over its upcoming release of the Volt plug-in hybrid, and even Ford is getting in on the act, little has been heard from Chrysler. That's all changed now, as the smallest of the US Big Three today announced plans to release three electric vehicles, including a totally new all-electric sports car. One of the three models will be on sale as early as 2010.
Chrysler unveiled an "electric range-extended" versions of their Town and Country minivan, as well as their iconic Jeep Wrangler. Both models will be plug-in hybrid variants. The automaker says each will have a 40 mile range on electric-only drive, at which time the gasoline engine will kick in.
This range is identical to GM's Volt, which should come as little surprise, given Chrysler has been working with A123 Systems, the same Lithium-Ion battery supplier GM reputedly will use for the Volt. Chrysler has not announced an official supplier yet, however, and says they are "working with multiple suppliers" on potential sources for batteries.
Tom LaSorda, Vice-Chairman for Chrysler, said the new models have been in the works for nearly two years. According to LaSorda, Chrysler's strategy is radically different than GM's. "We said we'll take something more bold on the electric — all electric."
LaSorda said, "we didn't want to spend the time on developing an all new platform, an all new car and then an all new propulsion system. We said we've got two icons for our company, a Wrangler, which is the icon for the Jeep brand, and the minivan, there's 11 million-plus which we've sold. And people would say, 'My god, they brought green to a minivan and Wrangler, this is unbelievable."
The most interesting of the new models, perhaps, is the new all-electric Dodge sportscar, capable of a 0-60 acceleration time of under 5 seconds. The vehicle's range will be 150-200 miles and will have a charging time of 6-8 hours on a standard 110v outlet. The vehicle will also accept a 220v supply, which will cut charging times in half.
No name or price was given for the sports car.
Chrysler has been hit hard by poor sales due to high gasoline prices. The automaker's sales have been down more than 20% in 2008-- a value double the industry average.
quote: Useless for long trips or work commutes, extended traveling away from home, "forgetful" people who didn't plug it in 1 night (even if it doesn't happen all the time)... you know - most of the population.
quote: The automaker says each will have a 40 mile range on electric-only drive, at which time the gasoline engine will kick in.
quote: unless battery technology continues to develop.
quote: Compared to what? Li-Ion batteries enjoy a 5-10% efficiency gains every year.
quote: I would fully expect that by 2020, batteries that are capable of providing 50 miles of electric only power
quote: and are quite small (about 1/3 the Volt battery size)
quote: I don't think you can read! *5-10% per year *by 2020 with a 10 mile increase in range
quote: So you're saying that 5-10% gains EVERY year until 2020 only amounts to a 10 mile increase in all electric range?
quote: Last food for thought. Average US household uses 11,040 kWh/year (Source: Energy Information Administration – Table 5: US Average Monthly Bill by Sector, Census Division, and State 2006)To charge that car 1 time takes more energy than the average household uses in a year. Scary thought.
quote: Vehicles that are all electric and require an overnight charge are only suitable for secondary forms of transportation for most people.
quote: (well, more like 40 mpg because the first 40 miles weren't using the gas).

Admire Switzerland's largest high and lowland moor landscapes in the Entlebuch UNESCO biosphere reserve. Even in the winter, a journey through this vast and virtually untouched countryside is an extraordinary experience. Especially impressive is the winter hiking trail that runs from Sörenberg to the Emmental valley. Take the cable car from Sörenberg/village centre to the starting point at Rossweid. After crossing the ski area you continue along a level route through forest and over snowy moorland and pastures to Salwideli. The trail now descends slightly as it goes through a broad valley basin. Rugged mountain ranges line the route, with the Schrattenfluh to your north and the Brienz Rothorn chain to your south and the Hohgant ahead of you. After a loop in the Schönisei area, the route leads directly to Kemmeriboden-Bad. The inn with the same name is known for its legendary meringue specialities. For the return trip all you have to do is catch the post bus that leaves from behind the hotel.

LEWISTON – The Town Board's effort to acquire and pave a short section of unfinished Legacy Drive just east of the village line was back to square one after Town Attorney Michael J. Dowd told the Town Board on Monday that the property owners were unable to come to an agreement to transfer the street segment to the town.
The board held a public hearing last June on acquiring the strip of land, but action was delayed because the owner died. Town officials believed they could negotiate with the heirs to purchase it, but Dowd said Monday that negotiations were fruitless. Therefore, a public hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 28 in Town Hall, 1375 Ridge Road, to discuss acquiring the property through public condemnation.
Nearby residents have been pressuring the Town Board for some time to finish construction of Legacy Drive to permit its public use as well as to eliminate what they consider blighted property.
In other action, the Town Board completed its reorganization for the coming year, reappointing nearly all of the existing employees without dissent and setting its next meeting for 6 p.m. Jan. 28 in Town Hall.

Performance of Private Equity Funds
Ludovic Phalippou

Oliver Gottschalg
HEC Paris - Strategy & Business Policy
EFA 2005 Moscow Meetings
Using a dataset of 1328 mature private equity funds, we find that performance estimates found in previous research and used as industry benchmark are overstated. We show that in commonly used samples, accounting values reported by mature funds for non-exited investments are substantial and we provide evidence that these mostly represent living dead investments. We also document a bias towards better performing funds in these data. After correcting for sample bias and overstated accounting values, average fund performance changes from a slight overperformance to a substantial underperformance of 3% per year with respect to the S&P 500. Assuming a typical fee structure, we find that gross-of-fees these funds outperform by 3% per year. We conclude that the stunning growth in the amount allocated to this asset class cannot be attributed to genuinely high past net performance. We discuss several potentially misleading aspects of standard performance reporting and discuss some of the added benefits of investing in private equity funds as a first step towards an explanation for our results.

Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 10-14
Scholarship on competition policy has begun to explore the implications of learning from behavioral research and to challenge the assumption of profit maximization at the heart of neoclassical economic theory of the firm. This scholarship is briefly reviewed, focusing on merger control. Prospects for basing merger control entirely on data from actual mergers or laboratory experiments are explored. Also explored are implications of behavioral research for merger assessment in consumer goods industries. The conclusion is that competition policy should continue to rely on neoclassical economic analysis based on the assumption of profit maximization.

The Ignacio High School girls basketball team ran into a pressure, trapping defense Friday at the annual Kirtland Central Tournament.
The Bobcats, after a close first half, fell 60-44 to Grants, N.M., another team that causes havoc with its full-court press, according to head coach Justa Whitt.
�Again, it was turnovers that caused us problems,� Whitt said. �They were one of those bigger schools that really runs the trap. Once we got in the trap, we couldn�t get out.�
The Bobcats trailed by only four points late in the first half.
But Grants hit two 3-pointers to go up by 10.
�It really was a pretty decent game for us,� Whitt said. �We just had too many turnovers.�
Michelle Simmons led the Bobcats with 13 points and eight rebounds. Cloe Seibel add seven points and nine rebounds.
�Cloe played really well,� Whitt said.
Mariah Vigil added eight points for the Ignacio girls, 4-4 overall.
The Bobcats will play at 12:30 p.m. today against an opponent to be determined.

Using clips from the animated series, the Dr. Doof character sings to Perry the Platypus in a cleverly silly mash-up music video set to the pop star's hit, "I Knew You Were Trouble."
The video premieres Friday at 8 p.m. ET on the "Gravity Falls" episode.
We're told the song is a great fit for the relationship between the two characters, as Perry always finds a way to thwart Dr. Doof's evil plans.
Following the video's debut, it will be available on the Disney Channel website.

A new film shot in Texas offers a graphic look at the dangers of the drug trade, but Operation Detour 2 won't appear in movie theaters, it's coming to a school near you.
"Every scene that we've put in this film has been ripped out of the headlines here in the United States," said Rusty Fleming, the film's producer.
Fleming is behind the production that turned a small West Texas high school into a movie set.
"Let's go ahead and get some blood on him," Fleming told a woman who painted fake blood on the face of one of the young actors playing a victim.
Fleming then sprayed water on the face of the actor who had the role of the shooter to make it look like he was sweating.
"He's just pulled a gun on about 50 people. He shot three. He's got some stress going on here," said Fleming.
Care is taken to make the crime scene as realistic as possible. A Sherriff's deputy gave the actor playing the teenage gunman tips on how to hold the weapon for the scene.
"I'm just kind of a technical adviser, helping them with the crime scene and the active shooter, said Robert Wilson with the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office.
The 13-year-old student playing the shooter happened to be the deputy's son.
All the roles were filled by real students. And real law enforcement officers acted out their response.
After the school shooting scene, a tactical team with the Texas Department of Public safety moved down the hall and burst into the classroom.
"Put your hands behind your back," yelled one of the Texas Rangers. The director called, "Cut, beautiful."
The scene was so realistic some of the student actors said they were startled when the Texas Rangers ordered the gunman to drop his weapon and get down on the ground.
"I found that very scary because I've never been in a position like that," said Cassandra Castro, 15, who played one of the shooting victims.
The producer of the film wants students to be aware of real dangers. Fleming said he researched real crimes for more than six months, "school shootings, executions, smuggling operations."
Operation Detour 2 is a sequel to a movie that tries to steer youngsters away from the drug trade. It's part of an awareness campaign developed by the Border Patrol a few years ago.
"In the first one I was a drug trafficker. I was a high school kid who got mixed up in the cartel," said Adam Ramirez a former student who was in the first film a couple of years ago.
"We're doing this to help kids make the right decision, make the right choices," said Ramirez. He's now an assistant coach at another small high school in the area.
The threat is real in this border region. Recently a bus driver at the school where the film was shot found nearly 500 pounds of marijuana on a bus full of junior varsity basket players. The girls and boys teams were returning from out of town games in the border town Presidio.
"This is really happening. This isn't happening to someone else's kids. This is happening to your kids" said Fleming.
The first film targeted students along the border, but the sequel will be shown in schools nationwide to build awareness about the threat posed by cartels who recruit youngsters.
"Now they're not looking for the thugs, the kids with the tats, the gang bangers. They're looking for the clean-cut kids, educated, kids," said Fleming.
Criminal organizations want young people who do not fit a profile and can move drugs, money and guns without arousing suspicion.
"When you've got the cartels with the network and the sophistication that they bring, it ups the ante all the way across the country," he said.
The films will be shown in schools as part of an awareness campaign. It will be presented by local law enforcement.

Good morning, faithful friends. I just want to say, "Thank you, Lord, that you are so faithful to me, even when I am not faithful to you." You see, I have been discouraged lately, and discouragement has a way of drawing us away from the course God has set for us. I just want to publicly admit my sin in this area, receive God's forgiveness and move forward.
Psalm 42:5 says this: Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
I wish I didn't have to circle around this mountain of discouragement again and again, but I do. I never seem to learn the lesson; to put my hope in God and not dwell on the circumstances. How many of you are guilty too? The sad thing is that the enemy of our souls has us right where he wants us. We take our eyes off of Jesus and are overcome with self-pity or anger or frustration or a myriad of emotions to distract us from the path God gave us to fulfill.
I don't know where you may be right now, but I recognize in myself that winter can sometimes pose an added weight to me if I am already sinking in despair. Things just look bleak, and we can easily lose our focus. It grieves the heart of God.
Hebrews 11 talks about all the saints who have gone on before us who lived by faith. It tells us the heroic deeds done by those who were steadfast in following God. (Please read it.)
Hebrews 12, then, starts like this: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Do you get it, friends? God is telling us that there is nothing we go through that is so bad we should allow it to take our eyes off of Him. We need to focus on what Jesus did for us on the cross, securing our eternal destiny, and be so thankful. We should realize that Jesus, too, suffered. He suffered so that you and I could be healed of our sinful ways.
So, why do we struggle so? The Bible says we are like dogs who return to their vomit. Yuck! And ouch! I don't want to live like that. Do you? There's a better way.
When I was a young girl in fifth grade, I had an amazing ability to run fast. That sounds hilarious to me now! I don't think I could beat a turtle today. Back then, I could outrun any boy in my class, and those boys loved the challenge. Every recess, we lined up, all the boys and me, and raced. I had a strategy for winning. I had seen a movie with Patti Duke where she would crouch down before running and repeat to herself, "Got the beat, got the beat," as she fixed her eyes on the finish line. Guess you can picture that! And that is how I won every race; with my eyes fixed on the finish line.
You know, that's what God is asking of us; to not get so distracted with all the pain and frustrations surrounding us, but to keep our eyes on the "finish line," and we will be winners.
If we allow it, we will always have reason in this life to wallow in self-pity because of conditions around us. In our Bible study at church right now, we have been talking about having a dislocated heart - one that feels deeply for those around us and moves us to do something about it. (We are studying "Holy Ambition" by Chip Ingram. Having an attitude that propels us out of our own comfort zone to help others in need will definitely take our eyes off of ourselves and our own problems. Helping others also lifts us out of the pit in which we find ourselves.
So, we fix our eyes on Jesus. How is it accomplished? I believe if we are in the Word daily and spend time in prayer, our focus is changed. I am amazed of the lack of Bible reading and prayer when talking to Christians. I know for God to speak to my heart, I need to spend precious time with Him, speaking to Him and listening to His response. In those close times of fellowship, the cares of the world often dissipate. It's called faith - believing what we cannot yet see. Then God gives me the grace, his undeserved favor, to follow Him even when I feel least like obeying. Then He and I, together, can win the race.
Fix your eyes on Jesus! God bless you, as you do!

As media mogul Oprah Winfrey goes public in her magazine about her thriving Upcountry organic farm, some Maui farmers expressed mixed feelings about her farm's vision and whether they will have to compete with Winfrey's fame and fortune for a place in an already tough agricultural market.
Some local farmers wondered about how they could survive in a market with Winfrey and her large financial holdings while others worried about how Winfrey's farm on Maui could drive up land prices and prevent small farmers from buying more land to expand.
Winfrey's longtime friend and health and fitness expert Bob Greene, who helped her start her farm in Kula, said he can understand local farmers' concerns. At the same time, he said, Winfrey could be an asset, bringing attention to organic farming and enhancing the local industry.

Oprah Winfrey and longtime friend Bob Greene, a health and fitness expert, visited her Kula farm earlier this year. The two came up with the idea of giving back to the land and community by starting up an organic farm in Kula.

"The last thing she wants to do is put pressure on a business struggling," he said. "We want more of these farms to thrive."
In an phone interview Wednesday, Greene also tried to address concerns about Winfrey using the farm as a base for a more extensive business venture. Last year, Winfrey filed for trademark applications for "Oprah's Organics," which would cover body products, along with salad dressings, soups, snack dips and other foods. Greene explained that the trademarks were filed pre-emptively, to preclude others from using Winfrey's name on commercial goods and services.
He said she is looking only at producing fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs at the moment. However, he did not rule out the possibility in the distant future of Winfrey producing nonfood items from crops grown in her fields, noting that Winfrey likes bath products.
In the June issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Winfrey shared that her farmland on Maui has been able to turn out 145 pounds of food a week.
Crops include leafy greens, beans and potatoes that she reports have been growing "five times as big as you'd expect."
Winfrey was able to turn her land into a thriving farm in Kula with the help of Bio-Logical Capital, a natural resource management group with offices in Honolulu.
The crops are currently being grown on a 1-acre parcel with room for maybe 19 more acres available for farming, said Greene, who is on the June cover of the magazine with Winfrey.
In 2004, Winfrey bought about 1,000 acres of Haleakala Ranch land, which included an 11-room bed-and-breakfast on 17 acres in Kula. She also bought more than 200 acres of coastal land in Hana between 2002 and 2005.
Currently, crops are being planted to see what grows best in the soil, Greene said, adding that he is thrilled at how well the produce is growing.
Winfrey said in the magazine that she shares her harvest with her neighbors. Greene said the produce also is offered to nonprofit groups and restaurants.
In the future, Winfrey's produce could be marketed on Maui and possibly the other islands - with the overall goal of having more food grown locally, he said. In the magazine and in the phone interview, Greene noted that 90 percent of the food on Maui is flown or shipped in, which increases the cost at the market.
Winfrey and Greene began work on the farm last summer with the idea of growing food to share in an effort to give back to the land and Maui, according to the magazine.
Some Maui farmers are looking with a skeptical eye at Winfrey's venture.
Chuck Boerner of Ono Organic Farms in Kipahulu said he's "torn both ways" in his feelings about Winfrey's farm. On one hand, the farm could educate more people in the farming of organics, which he supports.
"It's good she is growing organic," he said. "The more organic this island becomes the better."
On the other hand, her farm could take away business from local mom-and-pop growers, he said. Boerner will likely not face competition in the market from Winfrey because he grows tropical fruit and coffee, but he is worried for his fellow farmers in the produce market.
He said Winfrey should do some outreach to the public to discuss her plans for her farm.
Janet Simpson, who owns Kupa'a Farms in Kula with her husband, Gerry Ross, said she's happy Winfrey is "going organic" like their farm, which produces organic fruits, vegetables and coffee.
She said Winfrey's name will raise the profile of organic farming, but the TV star will have to do it well.
"You can grow organic but that doesn't mean you're good at it," Simpson said, alluding to the possibility of people not buying Winfrey's produce if the product is not up to par.
Simpson also hopes that small businesses will not be put out of the market if Winfrey-named produce hits the stands and markets. She said she is not worried about the competition; Simpson said she sells out of whatever is harvested in her fields in a week.
Her bigger concern is about high-profile people buying farmlands that will drive up land prices. She said it's difficult for smaller farms like hers to expand, because local farmers do not have the deep pockets of Winfrey, who can pay top dollar for acreage.
Winfrey's ability to test the waters to see what crops thrive sets her apart from other Maui growers. Winfrey can afford to have the crops fail, while farmers on Maui don't have that luxury, Simpson said.
"They are making it harder for small farmers," she said.
Greene chose to focus on Winfrey's name shining more attention on consuming organic produce, which in turn will make residents more willing to buy produce from all local farms. In addition, they are keeping the land in agriculture.
Greene, who also owns land near Winfrey, said they both "have a commitment to conserve the land" on the slopes of Haleakala.
"We don't want a development up there," he said.

If you ever thought the Vietnam War Memorial was powerful and moving in and of itself, think of putting a picture to each of those 58,286 names. That is the goal of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, the organization behind the Washington, D.C. monument.
The photos will comprise the Wall of Faces, an exhibit that will open as part of the Education Center. The center will be located underground in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial and adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
As of this week, the VVMF has nearly 34,000 pictures of fallen soldiers, all of which can be currently viewed on the online memorial.
Nevada County had 11 men that were killed or went missing in the Vietnam War — and images for four of these soldiers are still needed.
Janna Hoehn, a Maui, Hawaii, resident, has been working diligently for three years to track down the photos of those listed as killed or missing in action.
A Southern California native, Hoehn's journey began five years ago on a visit to the wall where she selected a name at random to etch.
"I approached the wall and chose a name, Gregory John Crossman, an MIA. When I returned home, I decided to research Gregory and try and find his family in the event they were never able to go to the wall, and I could send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo of Gregory."
Hoehn searched for six months and after enlisting the help of her cousin (the family historian), she was able to track down a college photo of Crossman.
Two years later, she saw a "call for photos" on the local news.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund had begun its search to put a face to every name on the wall.
She sent in her picture of Crossman and five days later received an email from Jan Scruggs, the founder and president of the fund.
He was the driving force behind the creation of the wall, launching the effort with $2,800 of his own money. Scruggs wanted Hoehn's help in locating pictures of the 42 Maui County soldiers who were killed in Vietnam.
"I told him it would be an honor," she said. "They deserve to be honored. They deserve to be remembered, and I feel like I'm righting a wrong. They didn't get the honor they deserved when they came home. I have always hoped I could do something for the Vietnam veterans. Here was my chance."
The task proved more difficult than Hoehn originally anticipated. When men and women enlisted for service, their homes of record was given as where they enlisted, not necessarily where they were from. It is also common for last names to have changed, as widows and siblings married.
Hoehn found a handful of photos through phone books, another few from high school yearbooks and still a few more from archived obituaries. It wasn't until she went to the Maui News that her work really began to pay off.
The paper ran a front-page article about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and Educational Center, then re-ran the list of names every six weeks until she gathered pictures of all 42 soldiers.
But she didn't stop there. Once Hoehn finished with Maui, she moved on to her hometown of Hemet, where she located the families of six more soldiers.
She is making her way through all the counties in California and has received more than 500 photos since June.
Though she located Crossman's photo, she was never able to find his family. She did, however, find family, and images, for a seventh Nevada County soldier last week, Alan R. Haugen (leaving four more to be found).
"Janna is but one of dozens of Faces Never Forgotten 'team leaders' that we have throughout the nation," Tim Tetz, VVMF director of outreach, said.
"We could not afford to hire enough staff to replicate the time-consuming efforts of people like Janna. Therefore, we have a team that recruits and assists them. We look for these individuals throughout the country, and they come to us because of a tie to a group or organization. Whatever the personal tie, we enable them and support them to whatever level we can. Few do it on the level of Janna, and for that we're very grateful."
According to Tetz, the Wall of Faces was first announced in an initiative with the White House in 1998, rising from the realization by visitors to the wall that each of those names had faces.
"In some way, through looking into the faces, we could open the minds of visitors to the real men and women listed on that cold black granite," he said.
In 2003, when the legislation enabling the Education Center became law, the vision of the Wall of Faces began to emerge. The legislation for the center mandates that the entire cost must be in hand before construction can begin.
They hope to have accumulated $115 million by 2016 in order to begin construction, with a tentative 2018 opening. The fund has received $27 million in contributions for the center, which will also serve to memorialize and honor those who've perished in the War on Terror.
"The wall has a special significance for this new generation of heroes, too," Tetz said.
"The Vietnam generation has done wonders to make certain the newer warrior has not been forgotten or treated in the same way they were.
"This is but one more small gesture until this latest generation can have their own memorial on the mall."
Images for the Wall of Faces can be sent to Hoehn at email@example.com. Pictures can also be taken to The Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the wall, which will be on display next week on the west steps of the Capitol in Sacramento.
The exhibit will be open Feb. 27 through March 2. Tetz will be on hand every day and will have the ability to scan images for the Wall of Faces.

Kristen Stewart is not particularly sentimental about wrapping up years of playing Bella Swan in the Twilight series – but she is saving a few souvenir items from the films.
"I kept the rings. The rings are really important to me," Stewart said in Beverly Hills at Thursday's press day for Breaking Dawn: Part 2, which opens Nov. 16.
One of the baubles comes from when Bella's "mother gives her a moon ring in the beginning," says Stewart. "It fully and completely reminds me of [Twilight director] Catherine Hardwicke."
Asked if she also kept the gorgeous oval engagement ring that her character receives from Edward Cullen, played by Stewart's real-life love Robert Pattinson, she says, "Yeah, I have that too. I held onto that one."
The rings "are really, really extremely important to me," she says. "I love those things."
In a wide-ranging chat with reporters, Stewart also reveals that she broke her thumb early on while filming the "really intense action-y type stuff" on Breaking Dawn: Part 2 when her character becomes a vampire.
Reflecting back on her time spent on the five-part series, she also says, "I think I've grown up a little bit."
Stewart was also asked what age she would chose to be if she could decide to stop her life – the way her character stops aging at 18, when she becomes a vampire.
"I'm not there yet, so I'm not sure," says the 22-year-old, who recently reconciled with Pattinson after a public cheating scandal with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.
"I can't wait to get to that point," she adds. "I don't know. It's probably pretty telling. I haven't gotten to that point yet."

Halloween would not have been Halloween this year if someone didn't have the bright idea to show up dressed up as wildly popular "Breaking Bad" bad guy Walter White, alias "Heisenberg."
Gothamist reports co-workers and pals Carley H. and Vaughn Vance tried to go shopping at a Whole Foods in Manhattan. They didn't get past the produce section before Vance, who was dressed in underwear, was stopped by security.
The security guard even addressed him in character, saying, "Mr. White, I'm sorry, but I need to check with my manager before you can go in, sir."
Of course, the store manager told the pair they could not go any farther because of how Vance was dressed. Underwear-only is apparently against store policy.
Whole Foods may not have been bowled over by Vance's tighty-whities get-up, but shoppers were. Many wanted to get pictures of "Mr. White" before he and his friend were shown the door.

LOCKPORT – The Niagara County Refuse Disposal District's construction and demolition landfill will no longer be open on Saturdays outside of the prime building season.
The district board, comprised of county legislators, voted Monday to close the landfill on Saturdays except from May through September. The landfill on the Lockport Bypass will remain open year-round Monday through Friday.
The landfill averaged nine loads of building debris each Saturday during the months of October through April and 17 loads per Saturday from May through September.
All county overtime budget requests for 2013 were cut by 5 percent when the Legislature adopted this year's budget.
However, the county has to pay overtime to the staffers at the landfill who work there on Saturdays.
"Our contracts say you cannot change schedules to avoid overtime," Public Works Commissioner Kevin P. O'Brien said. But the county has the prerogative of deciding whether to offer a nonmandated service.
"We'd be losing money by staying open," said Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda.
To cover salaries, equipment and fuel, the landfill needs to generate $608 per Saturday. The off-season average revenue was $538, while in the warm months, the Saturday average income was $1,164.
The district board also voted to keep a clerical position, at least for the rest of this year, that was going to be eliminated as of June 30. The full-time job will cost the district $14,572 for the second half of the year.
Acting Director Dawn M. Timm had proposed the move last month as a means of saving enough money on employee overtime to stay within the district's budget. The savings would be $3,000.
Timm said in a memo that her analysis of the district's staffing needs led her to make the request to maintain that job.
"The position is warranted through the end of the year, as we are going through an administrative transition without a full-time director, and we are pursuing closure [of the landfill], which will generate additional clerical work," Timm wrote.
County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz has suggested closing the construction landfill, the district's only active landfill, which is supposed to run out of space in the next few years.
The district board also set the first of four Saturday drop-off dates for household hazardous waste this year. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27 at the North Tonawanda Public Works garage on Erie Avenue.
Appointments must be made for hazardous waste drop-offs through www.rethinkyourwaste.com or by calling the Refuse District at 434-6568.
The North Tonawanda event will be held at the same time and place as electronics recycling and pharmaceutical drop-offs, which are being organized by the city and do not require appointments.

New quarterback leading Science Hill
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - When the high school football season kicks off in a month Science Hill will have a new quarterback under center.
Junior Malik McGue is taking over for the recently graduated Reed Hayes.
McGue played last season as a wide receiver and was a threat every time he touched the football. This season he'll have the chance to run or pass in head coach Stacy Carter's offense.
"Coach Carter is a great offensive coach," McGue told News 5 WCYB.
"He likes to mix it up with the run and pass and runs a lot of trick plays. With the talent we have here, with a lot of speed, we can keep the defense guessing."
The Toppers are trying to improve on a 9-1 season. They were unbeaten until losing the final game to Dobyns-Bennett and were eliminated a week later in the first round of the playoffs.
"I feel like we are very talented but we are very inexperienced," Carter told News 5 WCYB.
"I know we need some on-field experience. We can practice all we want but we have to get out there and get some games under our belt to be really good."
Science Hill opens up August 30 by hosting Elizabethton.
