Many young families starting out need a little help finding affordable housing. One of the options out there is Section 8 housing.
Section 8 housing gets its name from the Housing Act of 1937, in which a program to provide rental housing assistance was started. There are a number of programs related to section 8 housing, and Housing and Urban Development oversees them. One of the most popular programs is the Housing Choice Voucher Program [3]. With this program, tenants can choose qualified housing from participating landlords.
With section 8 housing, the government subsidizes a portion of your monthly rent payment by making payments to the landlord on your behalf.
Who Can Benefit from Section 8 Housing?
In my area, there are a lot of young families taking advantage of section 8 housing programs. Many of them are relatively young, married, and often in school. They are looking for an inexpensive place to live while they get ready for careers and start families.
However, this isn't always the case. Section 8 housing can also benefit those who are disabled and unable to hold down a regular job. Recipient Natasha Richard (pen name Charlie Fey) says that, "The section 8 program provides me and my child a place to live, and I am grateful for that. Although I am on disability, I am very enthusiastic about my own writing business. I see my section 8 as giving me the opportunity to build a successful career that will me get off housing assistance in the future."
Who Qualifies for Section 8 Housing?
First of all, it's important to realize that section 8 housing isn't an entitlement program. It is administered locally and through states, and not everyone who qualifies for a voucher receives a voucher. In some areas, especially urban areas, the waiting list can be rather long. One applicant, who asked that I not share her name, claims to have tried in her area to sign up for eight years, only to be told that the program is backed up and not accepting new entrants. "Section 8 is a great concept," she says. "Unfortunately, I believe it is too often used as a lifetime subsidy."
Qualification is based on total household income and the number of people living in your household. Different areas have different limits, though, so you will need to double check the requirements in your area. In general, though, the rule of thumb is that you usually qualify when your household has a total income that is less than half the median income for your locality and household size.
Other factors are also included when evaluating an applicant, including homelessness, being a senior, veteran status, children that you have, disability, and more.
Once you start earning money, you need to submit information about your new income situation. As your financial situation improves, you will see the amount of your subsidy reduced. Eventually, though, you will no longer receive the assistance as your income rises to 80% of the local median. Realize that your acceptance into the program is based on your income at the time you apply.
You can find information on HUD housing and how to find the program offices in your area [4], on the HUD web site.

GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunications. Within the WorldConnect Project, "GEDCOM" indicates an individual family tree or file. A more detailed explanation of what a GEDCOM is, and how it is used within the WorldConnect Project, is available here.
GEDCOM Tags
When you create a GEDCOM file, the fields containing information in your genealogy file (birth, marriage, baptism, etc.) are mapped to the appropriate GEDCOM tags (e.g., BIRT, MARR, BAPM). A listing of the most common tags and their definitions is available here.

Submitting Your Family Tree
Standard Submission Form
Converting your family tree to GEDCOM format will not change your original file. Instead, it creates a second file in the GEDCOM format. The exact steps needed to create a GEDCOM file will vary slightly depending on the software package you are using. The following instructions provide the basic process for creating a GEDCOM file.
- In your genealogy program, open the family tree you want to submit to the WorldConnect Project.
- Click the FILE drop-down menu.
- Select SAVE AS or EXPORT from the menu. A new file window will display. Note: The option you select will depend on the software application you are using; your program may offer you the ability to determine which fields/taglines to export.
- Select the location on your computer where you want to save the file.
- In the SAVE AS TYPE drop-down menu, click the GEDCOM or GED selection.
- Enter the name of the file in the FILE NAME field.
- Click the SAVE button.
- If an export confirmation window displays, click the OK button. The family tree is now saved on your computer as a GEDCOM file and is ready to submit to the WorldConnect Project.
- Repeat this process for each family tree you are submitting, giving each a unique file name. Each will need a unique user code when submitted to the WorldConnect Project.
For specific instructions on creating a GEDCOM file in your software, refer to the user's manual for the software you are using. We have collected instructions from other researchers on GEDCOM conversions for the most popular software programs; however, your version may differ.
If you need to purchase a family history software application that will allow you to export a GEDCOM file, check out the The email@example.com
Comments and notes
- Submit your GEDCOM as a zip file, if you have that ability. It can substantially reduce your upload time.
- You can submit GEDCOM files containing approximately 300,000 individuals (at this time); we can increase the limit to allow for files ten times that size, if you let us know.
- The WorldConnect Project supports most special character sets, such as umlauted vowels.
- If you are using DOS, PAF 3.0 will produce a GEDCOM file. There may be other programs that will do this also.
- You can restrict some information on the living from being submitted with the choices you make when creating your GEDCOM file. Your genealogy program will help you learn how to do this; some of the instructions submitted by our users will too.
- If your program offers you the choice of GEDCOM versions, generally the most current is best.

If the Spurs win at home back on January 22nd was the most important one of the season, the victory over Bolton on Saturday might be the second.
On the surface a strange assertion I admit, but the issue is not that City won rather who they won with. Accepting that Bolton are, and have been, poor this season the suspicion has always been that City were a David Silva injury away from serious trouble.
There are two ways to deal with this. Keep playing Silva every game and hope for the best or take a gamble and play a game without City's best player. Lose and you reinforce the perception and quite possibly cost the team the title. Win however and the team buys into the concept that the squad is good enough to win it all.
Drop Kun Aguero to the bench as well and now you're rolling all the dice. Yes, I know; it was against Bolton and Owen Coyle's team has been terrible all year. But that's exactly the park the bus, play for a point type of team that City would be likely to come a cropper against. And they didn't. So major props to Roberto Mancini. This was a decision made with winning the title in mind.
Another clean sheet for the club as well and I still think that goal difference could come into this at the end of the season. Likewise the victory last week against Blackburn. Rovers were a complete embarrassment to the Premier League with their performance and if you told me their game plan was to not lose by too many to minimize their negative goal difference then I'd believe you.
Shockingly poor and the only complaint I had was that City didn't take long shots from outside the box. Paul Robinson is a very good goalkeeper, but the reason he isn't world class is that his positioning has always been ever so slightly off. It makes him susceptible to long shots, particularly players cutting in from the wing and firing to the far corner and I was surprised Adam Johnson didn't do that constantly.
Two home wins against the sort of opposition that in the past would have flustered City. Not this time and as United keep winning, everything points to the showdown on April 30th as the decider.
Her name was Natty
As some of you have noted, and I appreciate the positive words sent via e-mail etc., I've spent some time away from this blog. After a brave battle that lasted 10 months, my Bernese Mountain Dog passed away at the age of 5 at 1:30am on February 19th. Named Natalia originally, she became Natty to one and all. Bernese Mountain Dogs unfortunately have a particularly nasty and aggressive cancer that impacts 25% of the breed and last May we found out that Natty had it.
Natty did well on her initial chemo although we knew it was not a potential cure and then took part in one of the first, if not the first, studies of the human cancer drug Taxol on canines. Hopefully the information gained from her participation will help others in the future. She was my baby girl and I miss her terribly.

BUCKHANNON - After serving on the Upshur County Commission for 17 years, Donnie Tenney said he'd like to spend his 18th - and last - year taking on a secondary role and providing counsel to "the new kids on the block."
Tenney, who has served as commission president for the past six years, said his term expires Dec. 31, 2014. He recommended that Commissioner JC Raffety be elected president of the Upshur County Commission for 2014 at the commission's weekly Thursday morning meeting. Tenney's motion ultimately passed, but the vote was not unanimous.
Commissioner Troy "Buddy" Brady dissented, saying he thought Tenney had done an "excellent" job leading the commission in 2013 and ought to continue at the helm in 2014.
Prior to the vote, Tenney said he had a few words he'd like to share.
"I've certainly enjoyed serving in that position (as president), even though basically you preside over the meetings and get to sign all the checks and spend all the money in the county," he said. "But you also get to attend a lot of community functions and make long speeches at all the different festive events of the county, which I hope our next president is going to enjoy as much as I have."
"But there comes a time when you have to turn the reins over to the next generation and I think that time has come," Tenney continued. "I feel it's best during my last year to let the new kids on the block kind of run things. I would move that Mr. JC Raffety be elected as the president of the Upshur County Commission."
Brady said he'd contemplated the issue for quite some time prior to Thursday's vote.
"I gave that a lot of thought, and Donnie, you have been a great president of the Upshur County Commission," Brady told Tenney. "I have learned a lot from Mr. Tenney. It has been a learning experience in 2013, and I think you should be named as president of this county commission."
Tenney said although he appreciated the vote of confidence, he felt turning over the reins to Raffety was the prudent thing to do.
"I know there have been times in the past when someone has been thrust into that position without having opportunity to ease into it," Tenney said, "so I would respectfully decline that, even though I certainly appreciate that."
Raffety noted that given Brady's opposition, "that places me in the awkward situation of voting for myself."
"I understand the motives and the consideration that both have afforded, but I would have to at this point side with Mr. Tenney, as much as I reluctantly agree to do so, because he has provided great service to the County Commission in his term as president," Raffety said.
"At the same time I do understand his belief that it will take some mentoring the president. The president of the commission is not a position which does not have other additional responsibilities associated with it and requires more in-depth knowledge of procedure, more in-depth knowledge of operations of the state."
"I recognize Commissioner Brady's desire to maintain a tested and tried commission president," Raffety added. "As it stands, this is something for the betterment of the commission in terms of our learning, in terms of our continuing to serve the public. It's in the best interest of the public."
When Tenney called for a vote on the matter while still president, Brady voted against appointing Raffety president.
"When you have someone quite capable of running the county commission, which you did an excellent job at in 2013, I just hate to remove you from being the president," Brady told Tenney. "Not that I can't see it's nice to train somebody, but also it's nice to have the knowledge that you have showed here for 2013. I just hate to see you step down as president because I think you've done an outstanding job."
The motion passed, and Tenney handed the gavel to Raffety.
"I've only used it one time in my 17 years," he said. "It's to be used with caution because it's very fragile."

New play a perfect equation for actors
What exactly is the square root of emotion on stage? Does anyone know how to find it?
This weeks opening of the Island Theatre production of David Auburns Pulitzer Prize winning play Proof at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, creates a dramatic equation so enticingly complex it may contain the answer.
The story circles around Catherine, who has spent years caring for her father, a brilliant but unstable mathematician. On the eve of her 25th birthday, a family crisis makes her face a flash of emotions. Adding baggage is the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the attentions of Hal, one of her fathers former students. He comes with overachieving hopes, unmet personal goals and unclear motivation in his research.
The discovery of an ingenious mathematical proof soon takes the characters through twists of passion, humor, family betrayal and the question of inherited intelligence. A fathers den, packed with 103 notebooks, hides the clues.
The relationships in this piece are very complex and they unfold themselves like the mystery of the proof itself, said the shows director, Shelley Hartle, while in the midst of running her cast through rehearsals last week.
Proof comes to Whidbey because of its affect on the director. Hartle saw a production of the play while in Wisconsin last year.
I loved it, so I got a copy of the script and took it to Island Theatre and said Youve got to do this, she said.
The only problem was there was no one to direct the play. Hartle and her enthusiasm were soon recruited for the role.
The four actors in the Proof ensemble cast include some of the most well known in South Whidbey theater productions, as well as some fresh faces. Leading the cast is Deana Duncan, who last appeared on the WICA stage as Mollie in last seasons Mouse Trap, is Catherine.
In the program, Duncan dedicates the production to her father, Don Duncan, Because our relationship informs almost every minute of this production for me, she said.
To better understand this parental dedication, look to the links between Duncan, her character, and the plays storyline.
Since reading Sylvia Plaths Bell Jar in college, Duncan has had a fascination with the human ability to deal with emotional turmoil. She carries that through to the portrayal of her character.
At the point we meet her, I dont think were seeing the normal Catherine. Theres just been a family crisis and shes in a complete depression. Her foundation is gone and shes doing everything he can just to make it through day-to-day, she said.
Duncan describes her father as a real life math geek who was offered a scholarship to Northwestern for his math skills, but turned it down.
When I went to college I told him I was going to major in drama, and he gave me practically the same speech Catherines father gave her about not wasting her intelligence, she said.
Ken Church plays Robert, Catherines and Claires father.
He has made appearances in numerous island productions including One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, The Fantasticks, Glengary Glen Ross, and last years hit Moon Over Buffalo.
Kevin Patridge makes his Whidbey Island theatrical debut as Hal, the former student who comes searching for answers for unknown reasons.
Hals a helper, Patridge said. We connect with the sense he really does care, but part of us really does want to know why he wants to find something so badly.
Partridge has been acting professionally and in community theater for the last decade. Last year he moved to Oak Harbor from Spokane. His previous stage roles include Tony in West Side Story, George Bailey in Its a Wonderful Life, Danny in Grease; as well as numerous radio and TV voice-overs.
Kira Keeney, who plays Claire, made her community theater debut in last years Little Shop of Horrors. She followed it up with her first non-musical role as Countess in Picasso at Lapin Agile. Her strong musical background has lead her to serve as musical director for WICAs 2002 summer youth theater camp and is looking toward directing music for a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol this holiday season.
Hartle is a 20-year veteran of South Whidbey productions with First Street Theater and Island Theater as an actor, producer and director. Her island directing credits include The Belle of Amherst, Talking With, The Fantasticks, Lonestar, and The Winter Visit.
She considers Proof a full-fledged drama that keeps ahead of the audience.
Theres no where to hide in this script, she said. Everything is out there, and the actors have to rely on their own knowledge of the character and their own ability to get it across the lights to the audience.

Stroke Care Program Receives Certification from The Joint Commission
HOBART, IN — St. Mary Medical Center's stroke care program has earned the Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission for Primary Stroke Centers. St. Mary Medical Center was awarded this distinction after the Joint Commission conducted an on-site review of its stroke care program, treatment standards and guidelines, and preventive education.
"Our stroke team is dedicated to ensuring that stoke patients receive the highest quality care as quickly as possible, recognizing that the timely diagnosis and treatment can limit the amount of brain damage and complication risks," said Janice Ryba, Chief Executive Officer of St. Mary Medical Center. "The Primary Stroke Center Certification from the Joint Commission serves as further confirmation that St. Mary Medical Center is at the forefront of cardiovascular care, stroke treatment and prevention."
Each year about 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke, which is the nation's third leading cause of death. Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, with about 4.7 million stroke survivors alive today. A stroke takes place as the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or severely limited, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Early treatment can make a big difference helping to limit damage to the brain and the potential for stroke complications.
St. Mary Medical Center's Stroke Center of Excellence works to spread awareness of stroke symptoms and prevention, and to diagnose and treat stroke patients as quickly as possible. The center, which involves the services of Nursing, Radiology, Laboratory, Pharmacy, Emergency Medical Services and Rehabilitation, uses a multi-disciplinary approach to stroke management covering everything from stroke prevention and diagnosis to acute care and rehabilitation.
Stroke patients at St. Mary Medical Center benefit from individualized care that aims to optimize recovery and maximize independence. Members of the stroke team meet on a regular basis to review care guidelines and treatment regimens and analyze quality measures.
"St. Mary Medical Center has an expert stroke team that is tremendously engaged in implementing the stroke care protocol and partnering with physicians and other caregivers in continually evaluating that these standards are best serving the needs of our stroke patients," said Mark Simaga, M.D., neurologist and director of Medical Staff at St. Mary Medical Center.
In addition to emergent and acute inpatient care for stroke patients, St. Mary Medical Center offers a full continuum of stroke treatment, rehabilitation and support, including inpatient and outpatient programs. Ongoing education for patients and families, and stroke support groups are also available to all stroke patients.

Pakistani Christians said they want justice following a mob attack on a their colony earlier this month.
A Muslim cleric used a mosque loudspeaker to rally 500 muslims to ransack Christian homes in Kasur. Doors were broken down and 110 homes were looted and burned. Some farm animals were killed and Christian women and children were beaten.
"They chanted Allah-hu-Akbar as they broke into our house," one resident said. "I was taking a bath. My mother tried to stop them, but they threw acid on me. I had just a scarf to put on my body and I ran away."
Another victim said the mob broke down her doors and looted everything.
"They also beat me with a stick and robbed me of gold jewelry and money," she said.
Witnesses said the incident began when a Christian field worker driving a tractor asked a Muslim man to move a motorbike that was blocking the road. The man became enraged and beat the field worker. Several Muslim leaders have apologized to the Christian community. They have called on police to arrest those responsible for the incident.

This week has once again been hectic and stressful, but I still managed to make my bento box. Which I am so happy about! Yesterday was a really rough day for me, you know those days when everything that can go wrong does? That was my day, but having this bento to look forward to for dinner really made my day a little better. :)
This week I made chicken kijiyaki, quick pickled cucumber salad, steamed sweet potato, white rice, and apple slices. Chicken Kijiyaki is another Japanese dish that I have never eaten or made before. And I am really loving exploring Japanese food through bento box making. It has been so much fun learning to make new recipes and discovering dishes I love. I am *so* happy I decided to make this chicken this week. It was delicious, hands-down the best chicken I have ever tasted. It even tops any fried chicken I have ever had, no kidding.
If you want to make chicken like this it is pretty simple, you just need a boneless chicken thigh with skin on. You cook it in a dry frying pan, searing skin on one side to make it crispy, turning on the other to finish cooking, then remove from the pan. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Add about a tablespoon each of mirin and soy sauce and a teaspoon of sugar to the pan. Once the sauce boils, put the chicken back in to coat with the sauce, Remove from the pan, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and freshly cracked black pepper, slice and enjoy! Traditionally, you would top this with a special Japanese pepper, but I didn't have it so I substituted for black pepper and crushed red.
I also had no room in my bento box for my apples, so I put them in this cute container made for carrying a cupcake. I think it works, what do you think? :)
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

The Divideby Matt Taibbi Molly Crabapple
A scathing portrait of an urgent new American crisis Over the last two decades, America has been falling deeper and deeper into a statistical mystery: Poverty goes up. Crime goes down. The prison population doubles. Fraud by the rich wipes out 40 percent of the world's wealth. The rich get massively richer. No one goes to jail. In search of a solution, journalist Matt Taibbi discovered the Divide, the seam in American life where our two most troubling trends--growing wealth inequality and mass incarceration--come together, driven by a dramatic shift in American citizenship: Our basic rights are now determined by our wealth or poverty. The Divide is what allows massively destructive fraud by the hyperwealthy to go unpunished, while turning poverty itself into a crime--but it's impossible to see until you look at these two alarming trends side by side. In The Divide, Matt Taibbi takes readers on a galvanizing journey through both sides of our new system of justice--the fun-house-mirror worlds of the untouchably wealthy and the criminalized poor. He uncovers the startling looting that preceded the financial collapse; a wild conspiracy of billionaire hedge fund managers to destroy a company through dirty tricks; and the story of a whistleblower who gets in the way of the largest banks in America, only to find herself in the crosshairs. On the other side of the Divide, Taibbi takes us to the front lines of the immigrant dragnet; into the newly punitive welfare system which treats its beneficiaries as thieves; and deep inside the stop-and-frisk world, where standing in front of your own home has become an arrestable offense. As he narrates these incredible stories, he draws out and analyzes their common source: a perverse new standard of justice, based on a radical, disturbing new vision of civil rights. Through astonishing--and enraging--accounts of the high-stakes capers of the wealthy and nightmare stories of regular people caught in the Divide's punishing logic, Taibbi lays bare one of the greatest challenges we face in contemporary American life: surviving a system that devours the lives of the poor, turns a blind eye to the destructive crimes of the wealthy, and implicates us all.Praise for The Divide "These are the stories that will keep you up at night. . . . The Divide is not just a report from the new America; it is advocacy journalism at its finest."--Los Angeles Times Praise for Matt Taibbi's Griftopia "A stinging new history of the financial crisis that heralds a return of Menckenesque, dirt-under-the-fingernails American journalism."--GQ "A relentlessly disturbing, penetrating exploration of the root causes of the trauma that upended economic security in millions of American homes . . . a full-scale indictment of Wall Street and Washington."--The New York Times Book Review "Matt Taibbi is [Hunter S.] Thompson's heir. . . . [Griftopia] is the most lucid, justifiably angry description of what happened and what continues to happen to our nation's economy."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Taibbi chronicles the corruption of the political process with indignation and dark humor. The takeaway? Be angry, but blame the right culprits."--TimeFrom the Hardcover edition.
The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religionby Matt Taibbi
Funny, smart, and a little bit heartbreaking, "The Great Derangement" is an audaciously reported, sobering, and illuminating portrait of America at the end of the Bush era.
The Great Derangement: A Terrifying, True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empireby Matt Taibbi
In describing the post-9/11 era, Taibbi ended up vomiting demons in an evangelical church in Texas, riding the streets of Baghdad in a convoy to nowhere, following a pork trail through Congress, and falling into the rabbit hole of the 9/11 Truth Movement. He tells the story of this new American madness by inserting himself into four defining American subcultures: THE MILITARY, THE SYSTEM, THE RESISTANCE, and THE CHURCH. Together these four interwoven adventures paint a portrait of a nation dangerously our of touch with reality and manically searching for answers in all the wrong places.
Griftopiaby Matt Taibbi
A brilliantly illuminating and darkly comic tale of the ongoing financial and political crisis in America The financial crisis that exploded in 2008 isn't past but prologue. The grifter class--made up of the largest players in the financial industry and the politicians who do their bidding--has been growing in power, and the crisis was only one terrifying manifestation of how they've hijacked America's political and economic life.Matt Taibbi has combined deep sources, trailblazing reportage, and provocative analysis to create the most lucid, emotionally galvanizing account yet written of this ongoing American crisis. He offers fresh reporting on the backroom deals of the bailout; tells the story of Goldman Sachs, the "vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity"; and uncovers the hidden commodities bubble that transferred billions of dollars to Wall Street while creating food shortages around the world.This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the labyrinthine inner workings of this country, and the profound consequences for us all.
Smells like Dead Elephants: Dispatches from a Rotting Empireby Matt Taibbi
Matt Taibbi is notorious as a journalistic agitator, a stone thrower, a "natural provocateur" (Salon. com). His scathing, vibrant prose shines an unflinching spotlight on the corruption, dishonesty, and sheer laziness of our leaders. Smells Like Dead Elephants brings together Taibbi's most incisive, intense, and hilarious work from his "Road Work" column in Rolling Stone. Written over the last two years, a period in our history with no shortage of outrages to compel Taibbi's pen, these pieces paint a shocking portrait of our government at work--or, as Taibbi points out in "The Worst Congress Ever," rarely working. "In the Sixties and Seventies, Congress met an average of 162 days a year. The 109th Congress set the all-time record for fewest days worked by a U.S. Congress: 93. Figuring for half-days, in fact, the 109th Congress probably worked almost two months less than the notorious 'Do-Nothing' Congress of 1948". Taibbi has plenty to say about George W. Bush, Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, and all the rest, but he doesn't just hit inside the Beltway. He gets involved in the action, infiltrating Senator Conrad Burns's birthday party under disguise as a lobbyist for a fictional oil firm that wants to drill in the Grand Canyon. He floats into apocalyptic post-Katrina New Orleans in a dinghy with Sean Penn. He goes to Iraq as an embedded reporter, where he witnesses the mind-boggling dysfunction of our occupation and spends three nights in Abu Ghraib prison. And he reports from two of the most bizarre and telling trials in recent memory: California v. Michael Jackson and the evolution-vs.-intelligent-design trial in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A brilliant collection from one of the most entertaining political writers of today, Smells Like Dead Elephants is a stylish record of the offenses of the Bush years.
Spanking the Donkey: Dispatches from the Dumb Seasonby Matt Taibbi

Follow Taibbi as he covers the primary for the 2004 presidential election, joining him for a spot on John Kerry's campaign plane, face-to-face encounters with John Edwards's pancake makeup, and more.

Feelings of fear may interfere with your ability to cope with life's rigors today. Your inability to predict conclusively what joys and pains the future will bring can make you feel powerless and out of control. Or you may sense that others are exerting an undue influence over the direction your life is taking. Slight apprehensions can morph into overwhelming feelings of insecurity and anxiety if left unchecked. Relief can be found in the deepest recesses of the heart and the most private corners of your soul. There, in the part of your being that is untouched by worldly concerns or outside influence, you can recover from the pressures you face each day. You will likely look upon the future with joy in your heart today once you have enjoyed the peace of your inner sanctuary.
Devoting a portion of your inner landscape to your most private thoughts and feelings ensures that you always have a private personal retreat to return to when life becomes too stressful to bear. Many people expose the whole of themselves to the world and, as a result, find that they have lost the quiet mental sanctuary where they might have found peace and solace in challenging times. When you maintain a private place in the mind where your intimate musings are quartered, no person or circumstance will have the power to intrude upon your inner tranquility. From within this personal retreat, you'll draw your inner strength and personal power. When you explore your inner landscape today, outside stressors will lose their ability to affect your well-being.

THERE are "101 reasons" why Nelson Mandela must live, says struggle hero Ahmed Kathrada who was imprisoned alongside the former president on Robben Island for 26 years.
The African National Congress stalwart on Friday attended the Alexander Forbes Leading Conversations breakfast series in Sandton, where Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe was a guest.
Mr Kathrada was given an the opportunity to speak about Mr Mandela, who is critically ill in a Pretoria hospital, before the event's programme began.
He joked with the audience that as prisoners they missed two things most, children and freedom of speech, adding that given the time to talk, he would do so for 26 years — a reference to the time he spent on Robben Island.
Mr Kathrada heaped praise on Mr Mandela, saying: "There is so much one can say about Madiba. I don't know were to start. Vintage Madiba easily relates to everybody. At this time one can think of 101 things why he must live."
He described Mr Mandela as a selfless leader who put the interests of his people before his own.
"One thing Madiba said to us when we got to Robben Island was that we were no longer leaders but we were prisoners," he said. "When you look back at the 27 years he spent there, he really behaved like a prisoner refusing special treatment or exemption."
Mr Kathrada's comments came as the world held its breath while a swirl of rumours and conflicting reports circulated about the health of Mr Mandela.
Messages of support continued to pour in from around the world. US President Barack Obama, on a three-nation Africa tour, tweeted his best wishes from Senegal, saying Mr Mandela was his "personal hero" and adding: "Even if he passes on, his legacy will linger on."
The ministers of health and defence arrived at the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria shortly before noon on Friday while further news of Mr Mandela's condition was awaited.

On April 11, the VCReporter published The Crow's Nest column entitled The ongoing investigation of Oxnard mayor battery charge. It addressed an alleged incident between Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn, who is an Oxnard high school teacher by day, and one of his students. As of Tuesday, May 7, the incident is still under investigation by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.
On April 22, the VCReporter received a letter from Flynn's attorney, Frederick Rosenmund, which demanded a retraction from this newspaper and stated that some of the content in the article was false and libelous. First, Mr. Flynn's attorney states that there is no evidence whatsoever that Flynn "is absent from his teaching post more often than most." While the VCReporter does not have Flynn's attendance record, this assertion was made to the writer of the article by a credible high-level source from within the school administration. This newspaper has subsequently made a Freedom of Information Act request for Flynn's record of attendance and is awaiting response.
Flynn's attorney further asserts that the article's statements that Flynn "flung the student's backpack toward the door," and that "Flynn put his hands on her in some agitated state," are utterly false and fly in the face of the school's investigation and witness accounts. These contrary statements in the article were stated, however, by very solid sources claiming to be knowledgeable about the investigation.
Finally, Flynn's attorney argues that the article wrongly concludes that Flynn used his influence to impede or prevent an investigation of the incident alleged by the student. The VCReporter wants to make it perfectly clear that the article never asserted or implied that Flynn was directly or indirectly influencing or impeding the investigation, yet the writer of the article has every right to wonder whether the mayor's position, by its very nature, can have a detrimental effect on the speed of any police investigation.
The VCReporter has reached out to Mr. Flynn for an interview for this article, but he declined. According to Eric Buschow, public information officer for the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, as of May 7, the sheriff's investigation into this matter is ongoing. When the investigation has been concluded, the findings will then be sent to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office, who has up to one year to file charges based on the findings.

Bucs Hope For Good Ground Game Vs Saints
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face Drew Brees twice a season, so they know it takes more than a sturdy defense to slow down the New Orleans Saints quarterback.
A revamped secondary led by cornerback Darrelle Revis figures to be one of the keys to the team's chances for success when the NFC South rivals meet Sunday, however the Bucs also are hoping their sputtering offense can do its part to help contain one of the NFL's top passers.
That's where Doug Martin comes in.
The Pro Bowl running back was limited to 65 yards rushing in a season-opening loss, and the Bucs likely will need more production out of him to beat the Saints.

A Palm Coast man is accused of strangling his elderly mother, who died in February.
Investigators originally believed she died of natural causes.
Richard Mathews, 62, was arrested Wednesday and charged with manslaughter.
His 88-year-old mother died Feb. 21 and responders didn't see any signs of trauma. The woman was very ill and her doctor agreed to sign the death certificate.
Top video: Postal worker caught on camera tossing packages
Officials at the funeral home told detectives Mathews was drunk days later and told them his mother asked him to kill her.
An autopsy was done and the medical examiner found the woman had been strangled and had high levels of medications in her system.

Police: Teen flicked flaming hand sanitizer on classmate
Shawnee police said a 13-year-old boy from Hocker Grove Middle School is in trouble after he set a glop of hand sanitizer on fire and flicked some of it into a classmate's face.
Another lie that Trump keeps saying and the Trumpansies keep falling for is ..... Obama pulled troops out of Iraq and ISIS formed. Remember that Donald said he loves the poorly educated and unfortunately he has been taking advantage of them his whole life. Well the facts check out as below: It is true that Bush signed an agreement, known as the Status of Forces Agreement, on Dec. 14, 2008, that said: "All the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than December 31, 2011. President Bush reluctantly agreed to a withdrawal deadline without leaving behind a residual force because of Maliki's strong objection. As the deadline neared, the Obama administration sought to keep 5,000 to 10,000 U.S. combat troops in Iraq. But negotiations with Iraq broke down in October 2011 over the issue of whether U.S. troops would be shielded from criminal prosecution by Iraqi authorities. The pentagon would not allow that so troops left. By the way, those thinking that the 9/11 lawsuit is a good idea..... keep the desire of Iraqi criminal prosecution in mind. That is if it is possible for you to do so.

I'm currently 18wks and have Lupus/APS (blood clotting disorder). I have 2 healthy children, both born to term. I'm on blood thinners and my lupus meds. As long as I'm on my meds I shouldn't have any issues.
My Dh accepted a new position and I will be moving to dallas by June 1. I've contacted Dr Norwoods office and was told he wouldn't be able to take me because I am high risk and that I wouldn't arrive until I'm 7mths. And that their policy is no longer than 21wks.
I've contacted other dr's that were recommended to me and I don't get a call in return. I assume its because I'm high risk.
I'm at a total loss what to do and already nervous about the move. Any advise or thoughts on what I can do???

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that many characters are in peril before Superman saves the day, including a school bus full of kids teetering off the Golden Gate Bridge, two coasts threatened by a missle launch, and Lois who is buried alive after an earthquake. Superman can't save his adopted dad from a heart attack, however, and is shown mourning his death. There is some smoking in the Daily Planet newsroom typical of the '70s and a few swear words. Superman fights for "truth, justice, and the American way" -- your basic superhero role model.

What's the story?
As the planet Krypton is about to explode, administrator Jor-El (Marlon Brando) ensures his son's safety by putting him in a spaceship intended for Earth. The Kents, a farm couple, discover the boy from space and raise him as their son, Clark. Upon adulthood, Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) sets out for Metropolis, where he lands a job as a reporter on The Daily Planet. He also fights crime as SUPERMAN, a name given him by reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), a coworker on the Planet whom Clark secretly loves. Meanwhile, criminal mastermind Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) develops a plan to cause a deadly earthquake in California, thereby increasing the value of his desert property. When Lois becomes a victim of the earthquake, Superman must literally turn back time by flying around the Earth with enough speed to temporarily reverse its orbit.
Is it any good?
Christopher Reeve proved an ideal Superman, with just the right level of steadfast simplicity. But the producers' emphasis on larger-than-life moviemaking (they won a Special Achievement Oscar for visual effects) results in a movie that drags in parts. The quartet of writers -- who individually had dreamt up the stories of The Godfather and Bonnie and Clyde -- concocted an overlong spectacle that spends an inordinate amount of time recounting Superman's origin, then fragments into episodic crime-fighting vignettes.
Younger viewers may not have the patience to wait through the first third of Superman before getting a glimpse of Superman's famous costume, and the picture is more than half over before he begins fighting crime in Metropolis. Thus, the movie will appeal primarily to adults looking to relive their youth by watching a 1970s-style blockbuster.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about favorite superhero movies. What makes a good superhero movie? What makes Lex Luthor one of the best villains?
Families can also talk about different versions of the Superman story. And why do you think in the last century he fought for the "American way" and in this one he becomes more globally minded?

Just chiming in to say the low-carb breakfast/high-carb dinner approach works really well for me too. I have energy all day and sleep more deeply than I have in years.
I also discovered quite by accident that too much carb in my lunch (a small serving of white rice, for example) makes me dangerously sleepy on my commute home from work. So my lunches are low-carb too. I save most or all of my carbs for dinner.

The seeds of Doctor Zhivago go back almost to the earliest stages of Pasternak's prose-writing career, resurfacing every so often in fictional fragments (accumulated under such titles as "Patrick's Notes" and "Fragments of a Novel"). However the novel as we now know it was begun in earnest just after the Second World War, under the working title of "Boys and Girls", and was completed as "Doctor Zhivago" by the end of 1955. [For further information on the novel's genesis, please see the biographical profile of Pasternak.] From the Soviet viewpoint, Pasternak's novel was far removed from the official cultural doctrine of "socialist …

A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
It's great seeing how determined the Raikage is, but Sasuke will be somehow saved... yet again.
Raikage is such a badass, god damn!
raikage is a fking beast!
and just when did sasuke get so strong? did i miss a few chapters? people complained when naruto got really strong, at least they showed him training. sasuke now has better control of the MS than itachi, again how?
its a shame madara is probably going to save him. and i wonder what madara means by being complete?
Madara won't have to save Sasuke, Raikage a hot head has just lost his left arm, ans Sasuke's over using MS.
It's a draw as Sasuke withdraws.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
so the raikage hand got hit by amaterasu...
it looks like sasuke doesnt surprise about the bones (susano'o??), maybe he already know that he have it before..

STEVEN MASSOF, the unlicensed "doctor" who testified of cutting the necks of hundreds of babies in an abortion clinic that made him feel like a "fireman in hell," was sentenced to 6 to 12 years in state prison yesterday.
"I'm not here to make excuses. I'm here to take full responsibility for my actions and my inactions," an emotional Massof, 51, said before being sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner.
Massof, originally from Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty in November 2011 to two counts of third-degree murder in the deaths of two babies and to related crimes.

LOCKPORT – John R. Freeman Jr. suffers from an assortment of mental defects caused by fetal alcohol syndrome, his attorney said Thursday in explaining why he intends to offer a mental health defense on a charge that Freeman strangled a 5-year-old girl and dumped her body in a stolen garbage tote.
But Niagara County prosecutors said the claims by defense attorney Robert Viola aren't specific enough, and they want County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III to prevent any kind of psychiatric defense for Freeman.
"It's a very serious issue," said Murphy, who told both sides he will rule on the matter Wednesday.
Freeman, 17, of Sixth Street, Niagara Falls, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Isabella M. Tennant, the 5-year-old Cheektowaga girl who allegedly was killed Aug. 26, while Freeman was baby-sitting her in her great-grandparents' Sixth Street home.
After the death, Freeman allegedly called a friend, Tyler S. Best, 18, of Barnard Street, Buffalo. Best went to Niagara Falls Police Headquarters the next day and told police he helped Freeman dispose of the body in the garbage tote in an alley, and told them where to find it.
Best is charged with a felony count of tampering with physical evidence.
Viola had told the prosecution last October he intended a mental health defense for Freeman, but by law, he must give some specifics.
Viola hired two psychologists to examine Freeman, but there were months-long delays in doing so.
Finally, Viola turned over reports May 31 from Dr. Louise Feretti and Dr. Luther Robinson. But he did not amend his motion for a mental health defense with details by June 7, as Murphy had ordered.
Deputy District Attorney Holly E. Sloma said Viola didn't come across with an update until Wednesday, when he said he intended to offer a defense of not guilty by reason of "extreme emotional disturbance," instead of "mental disease or defect."
Sloma said Viola was claiming Freeman suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome. "It manifests itself in a myriad of ways," Viola said.
Feretti mentioned five mental disorders in her report, and Robinson named one disorder and mentioned the possibility of a second.
Fetal alcohol syndrome, resulting from heavy drinking by a mother during pregnancy, has been linked with damage to the baby's brain, leading to mental or behavioral problems including attention deficits, impulsive behavior and poor reasoning skills.
According to the Mayo Clinic website, "Defects caused by fetal alcohol syndrome are irreversible."
Viola "still hasn't linked that malady to the defense of extreme emotional disturbance," Sloma argued. "It's not our task to figure out his defense … how [Freeman] was under extreme emotional disturbance back in August 2012, when he murdered Isabella Tennant."
"The people are taking the notice requirement far beyond what is necessary," Viola said.

NFL free agency has really enabled us to get a better understanding of where some of the top prospects are going to go next month.
One thing that "experts" and pundits will be writing about over the course of the next couple weeks is "bust" potential. Every time draft season rolls around you get the pleasure of hearing talking heads exhibit the most profound skepticism towards certain players.
More often than not these skeptics are proved wrong.
With that being said, nothing in the draft is ever a guarantee. After all, Tim Couch was once considered the most prototypical college quarterback prospect since Drew Bledsoe. In reality, we just don't know how certain players are going to translate to the next level.
This mock draft is going to give you bust odds for every single first-round pick.

by John Gregory Dunne
In the literary world, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion are royalty—novelists and journalists whose books are eagerly received by critics and readers alike. But in Hollywood, where they write screenplays as a husband-and-wife team, Dunne and Didion are just another couple of lukewarm screenwriters, their work subject to the caprice of bullying studio bosses, willful producers, eccentric directors, skittish stars and junior executives.
While a certain amount of humiliation is inevitable in any movie assignment, literary lions seldom resist the paydays only Hollywood can offer. So when Dunne and Didion were asked by an agent to write a screenplay based on a biography of the late network anchorwoman Jessica Savitch in 1988, they quickly agreed. Eight years and 27 drafts later, Up Close & Personal hit the multiplexes to mediocre reviews and excellent box office.
Dunne's caustic recollections cast piercing light on the curious rituals and practices of corporate Hollywood. It's a scathing—and funny—look at what happens when avarice and imagination conspire. (Random House, $21)

Nationwide television audiences will soon find out what many local residents already suspect - western Nevada County is haunted.
With several historic buildings that date back to the California's Gold Rush era, such structures are an ideal host for ghosts, according to experts on paranomal activity.
So much so, that a pair of TV production companies has selected two separate historic hotels as sets for their documented investigations into the paranormal.
Zak Bagans, host of "Ghost Adventures," a weekly paranormal TV series that has run on the Travel Channel since October of 2008, was at The National Hotel in Nevada City with a full television production crew Monday.
The show is produced by MY-Tupelo Entertainment and the group was interested in the Nevada City site due to its reputation as a hot-bed for restless spirits.
"It's cool here," Bagans said. "I love mining towns. The first show we shot was in Virginia City, (Nev.) They're always very active."
Bagans was at the National Hotel filming interviews with local ghost-story teller Mark Lyon, who called his involvement with the show "very interesting." Bagans was also interviewing some employees who claim to have had brushes with the paranormal.
"I've seen, heard and felt ghosts for a lot of years," said Laraine Sheriff, who works at the National's registration desk. "It's no big deal, I like working here and I like the history of this place."
Bagans and his crew also visited the Stonehouse, said proprietor Nikko Wu, where a series of underground passageways are reputed to contain the spirits of Chinese slaves that perished in a mine collapse.
"(The film crew members) were a fun group of people and they were pretty brave," she said.
Wu said the crew brought a device capable of picking up sounds and attested to hearing various echoes and words issuing from some of the dark mazelike corridors under the Nevada City business.
"They were here for two hours," Wu said. "It was very exciting."
Bagans said the episode featuring Nevada City is tentatively scheduled to air this spring.
Ian Garfinkel, owner of the Holbrooke Hotel, announced that his establishment will be rented out by a Texas-based television production company for a television pilot that also deals with paranormal activity.
The show, which is presently titled "From the Cradle to the Grave," will focus on some of the alleged activity of shades in the historic Grass Valley hotel, according to its producer Lisa Austin, who works with Texas Outback Productions.
Austin plans on shooting the pilot and pitching it to various TV networks.
"At this point, it is more common to have material in hand to show to cable networks," she said. "Our show will be a little different in that it will feature female investigators. Studies show that females are more inclined to believe in paranormal activity and ghosts and you know what they say about female intuition."
Garfinkel confirmed the production company will rent out the entire hotel in early February.

FLORENCE — It was a basketball game that capped a week of life experiences and lessons, heartache, disbelief and loss.
The Bishop England girls defeated Kingstree, 55-41, in the Class AA Lower State championship Saturday. The Kingstree girls suffered a tough defeat, but now comes the hard part. They say goodbye to their coach, Sonya Burgess, at her funeral today.
"Today was hard, but that's going to be rough," interim coach Theodis Faison said. "I can't imagine what it's going to be like."
The Kingstree players, students and community were stunned Monday night when Burgess was killed in a hit-and-run wreck. School officials decided to let the team play Tuesday night and the Jaguars beat Lake City to advance and face the Bishops.
Jaguars players and fans wore T-shirts in memory of Burgess that read, "Coaching from above." Approximately 5,000 fans watched the game at the Florence Civic Center and most were there to cheer for the Jaguars (22-7).
"The girls came out to play," Faison said. "A lot of people didn't believe in Kingstree. We beat the No. 2 and 3 teams. We just couldn't beat the No. 1 team today."
Bishop England, the defending Class AA state champ, will play Keenan at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia.
The Bishops (23-3) are 51-3 the last two seasons.
"I don't think it has hit me yet," Bishop England coach Paul Runey said. "I don't think it will until the ride home. Our girls worked hard for this, pushed themselves. It wasn't our best basketball game, but the effort was there."
Runey talked to his team about Kingstree's tumultuous week.
"I got to meet coach Burgess' husband when he came down and scouted us in out first playoff game," Runey said. "I feel bad for him and the team. I told the girls this was a part of life. I also told them they deserved this as much as anybody. I told them the crowd would pull for Kingstree, and it did."
The Bishops led 28-19 at halftime and enjoyed a double-digit lead in the third quarter when the Jaguars finally made a move. They sliced the Bishops' lead to 36-32, but Michele Boykin hit a 3-point goal and came up with a steal that led to Michelle Lussier's fast-break bucket that pushed the lead to 41-32. Kingstree couldn't recover.
Boykin led all scorers with 21 points.
"Michele is a player," Runey said. "She makes the plays. When the game is on the line, her teammates look to her to make the play. I don't think I've ever coached someone who plays as hard as Michele. She goes after it for 32 minutes."
Mary Harriet Moore added 13 points for the Bishops and Ellie James chipped in with 10.
Latoya Jones led Kingstree with 14 points.
Bishop England (55): Kiernan 2, Ellie James 11, Michele Boykin 21, Mary Harriett Moore 13, Lussier 8
Kingstree (41): Brittany Williams 10, Latoya Jones 14, McCrea 2, Chandler 5, Peterson 5, Palsely 5
Bishop England 12 16 14 13—55
Kingstree 9 10 13 9—41
Records: Bishop England 23-3. Next: Bishop England in Class AA state championship vs. Keenan Saturday 2 p.m.
