(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses our work on the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), under which the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) has the authority to purchase and insure up to $700 billion in troubled assets held by financial institutions through its Office of Financial Stability (OFS). As Congress may know, Treasury was granted this authority in response to the financial crisis that has threatened the stability of the U.S. banking system and the solvency of numerous financial institutions. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (the act) that authorized TARP on October 3, 2008, requires GAO to report at least every 60 days on findings resulting from our oversight of the actions taken under the program. We are also responsible for auditing OFS's annual financial statements and for producing special reports on any issues that emerge from our oversight. To carry out these oversight responsibilities, we have assembled interdisciplinary teams with a wide range of technical skills, including financial market and public policy analysts, accountants, lawyers, and economists who represent combined resources from across GAO. In addition, we are building on our in-house technical expertise with targeted new hires and experts. The act also created additional oversight entities--the Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) and the Special Inspector General for TARP (SIGTARP)--that also have reporting responsibilities. We are coordinating our work with COP and SIGTARP and are meeting with officials from both entities to share information and coordinate our oversight efforts. These meetings help to ensure that we are collaborating as appropriate and not duplicating efforts.
This testimony is based primarily on our January 30, 2009 report, the second under the act's mandate, which covers the actions taken as part of TARP through January 23, 2009, and follows up on the nine recommendations we made in our December 2, 2008 report.3 This statement also provides additional information on some recent program developments, including Treasury's new financial stability plan and, as you requested, provides some insights on our ongoing work on the implications of actions related to the financial crisis on federal debt management. Our oversight work under the act is ongoing, and our next report is due to be issued by March 31, 2009, as required. Specifically, this statement focuses on (1) the nature and purpose of activities that have been initiated under TARP; (2) the status of OFS's hiring efforts, use of contractors, and development of a system of internal control; (3) implications of TARP and other events on federal debt management, and (4) preliminary indicators of TARP's performance. To do this work, we reviewed documents related to TARP, including contracts, agreements, guidance, and rules. We also met with OFS, contractors, federal agencies, and officials from all eight of the first large institutions to receive disbursements. We plan to continue to monitor the issues highlighted in our prior reports, as well as future and ongoing capital purchases, other more recent transactions undertaken as part of TARP (for example, guarantees on assets of Citigroup and Bank of America), and the status of other aspects of TARP.

Oct 02, 2008 6:37AM PST
HOnestly, the game play is fun and the online is absoultely great! The story mode can be as easy as picking at a booger because the computer can at times play like a dog had the control and was rather busy trying to lick himself then play :\. A major part of the game wwhich is custom characters was done rather well, my problem is what the hell can you buy once you've bought everything!? (150+ Hours = PWNAGE! :D) The online can be a bit of a drag with people losing and then disconnecting and saying "Oh, mi h0us3 phown rangz so's I got kick-ed off teh internetzzz! :D" and then your like "...Really? You running on dial up ther guy? :\". Haha, anyways, it's a great game regardless and if you don't have it, what the hell are you waiting for!? :D

Do Your Part to tread lightly when picking out your next pet shampoo! Terri is a big dog lover and nothing's worse than a stinky dog—well, maybe two stinky dogs!
If you think all pet shampoos are the same, think again. Many of the ingredients found in popular ones are petroleum-based and are known to actually irritate skin, create rashes and cause cancer.
Over time, those toxins can be absorbed into your pet's skin and into the skin of the person doing the dog washing! Not only that, those toxins go right down the drain during bath time.
If you want to go for an organic or natural shampoo for your pet, here's what to look for: make sure your choice is free from coloring, preservatives or fragrances. Those ingredients all have names that sound like chemicals!
Instead, look for shampoos that are made with non-toxic and organic ingredients. Shop for shampoos infused with essential oils. They make a dog's coat look and smell great.
If your dog has dry skin or allergies there are plenty of natural shampoos that can make your pet feel better. Try ones that are hypoallergenic for allergies and others that have oatmeal to deal with itchy, dry skin.
There are roughly 73 million pet dogs in this country alone. We can lower our eco-footprint when we wash them with natural and organic products. So Do Your Part when it comes to smelly dogs — they'll feel better — and you'll feel better when you tread lightly on our planet.

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center presidential search advisory committee will seek community input at a meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Room 210 of the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy, 1300 S. Coulter.
Former President Dr. David R. Smith recently accepted the position of chancellor.
"Wednesday night is called a listening meeting," said Arthur Nelson, committee member and dean of the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy. "It's mostly designed for us to understand better what the constituent groups would like to see in a new president for the whole health sciences center."
Constituent groups include faculty, staff, students, community leaders, people who would have potential relationships with Texas Tech students and those who could be patients at Texas Tech clinics, he said.
Nelson said the committee is interested in what abilities people think the president should have.
In addition to Amarillo, the committee will conduct similar meetings in Lubbock, Midland-Odessa, El Paso and Dallas.
"We want each community to have a voice," David Lopez, committee chair and member of the Texas Tech University System board of regents, said in a written statement.
As a representative to the committee, Nelson said he had some definite ideas about the future Tech president.
"One of the very first things I'm looking for is a visionary leader, someone who can look beyond the day-to-day operational things and can help the institution develop a vision of what it wishes to be, and a plan to get to that point," Nelson said.
"I'm looking for a person who has strong listening skills. I'm looking for a person who can make decisions and can make them in a timely way," he said.

OKC Thunder (8-5, 2-4 road) vs. Dallas Mavericks (8-2, 4-0 home)

View from the enemy: The Two Man Game
A role reversal for the Thunder. No longer is it about holding serve at home. Now it's about stealing one on the road.
I get the feeling this game presents a bit better opportunity to do that than Game 2, because the Mavs very well could be rusty from their nine-day layoff.
This game will likely have a lot of feeling out, but one thing the Mavs have had is time to prepare. I'm sure as soon as OKC took Game 5 over Memphis, they started prepping for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
It's pretty important to win one of these two games in Dallas, but not absolutely critical. At some point the Thunder will have to win a game in Dallas if they want to take the series and like I said, this might be the best opportunity for it.
I'm curious to see how ready OKC is for this game. A Game 7 win just two days ago is a pretty emotional thing to come off of, especially when it meant advancing to your first ever Western Conference Finals. The Mavs have been itching to play since sweeping the Lakers so they'll be ready. Maybe a little too ready. Who knows. I think this game is going to be a good one though.
Tip at 8:00 CT. Go North Side Red River.

Twenty-five years ago the outlook for children with cancer was poor. Fewer than 25% survived for three or more years. Rare exceptions to this grim experience included children with localized and totally resected Wilms' tumor and neuroblastoma and with stage I Hodgkin's disease, and the occasional patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Major advances in diagnosis and treatment have increased cure rates to over 50% for all major childhood cancers except acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia, malignant brain tumors, and selected metastatic (stage IV) solid tumors. Major contributors to this success are the effective use of multimodality therapy, improved supportive care, and, more recently, the identification of clinical and biological prognostic factors that determine the relative intensity and duration of treatment.
It has been estimated that by 1990, 0.1% of all adults (1:1000) will be cured patients who had had pediatric cancer. Thus, physicians caring for children, adolescents, and young adults should be

GEN News Highlights : Nov 6, 2006
Abbott has acquired Kos Pharmaceuticals for $3.7 billion in cash to strengthen its position in the $20-billion cholesterol management market. The transaction is valued at $78 per share, a 56% premium over Kos' closing price Friday of $50.09. "This acquisition expands Abbott's presence in the lipid management market and will provide several on-market and late-stage pipeline products," points out Miles D. White, chairman and CEO, Abbott.
Kos' two lead products are Niaspan®, an extended-release niacin product that raises HDL levels and Advicor®, a Niaspan/lovastatin combination product that treats patients with multiple lipid disorders. A new Niaspan caplet formulation with a range of dosages is currently under review. Kos predicts that it will submit Simcor®, a fixed-dose combination of Niaspan and simvastatin (generic Zocor®) to treat lipid disorders, for review in the first half of 2007.
Abbott reports that these on-market cholesterol products and development opportunities will join its own lipid management portfolio, which includes on-market TriCor® and a TriCor/Crestor® development program with AstraZeneca.
Abbott expects the transaction to be $0.02 to $0.03 dilutive to ongoing earnings per share in 2007, neutral to accretive in 2008, and building to significant accretion thereafter. Following the closing, the transaction is expected to result in one-time charges, primarily for in-process R&D and integration expenses.
Kos opened Monday at $76.95, a 53.62% climb from its Friday close.

NBC (Mom, May 15, 9 P.M. ET)
Here is a sign that free speech is alive and kicking. All around us these days, advertisers and programmers are running scared while some self-proclaimed protectors of American morals condemn any TV show that dares to mention a body part (Saturday Night Live) or bodily function (Married...With Children). So in the midst of this trivial yet dangerous crusade, it is especially remarkable that NBC should have the courage to make a movie about a subject the network acknowledges is "the most divisive moral issue facing America today." Here is a movie about abortion—an intelligent, mature, humane and sane movie at that.
In Roe vs. Wade we meet the plaintiff and the lawyer who in 1973 fought up to the Supreme Court, overturning laws that prevented women from choosing abortion. The magnificent Holly (Broadcast News) Hunter plays the case's anonymous "Jane Roe" (Norma McCorvey in real life and named Ellen Russell in the movie). She is a pregnant, drifting carnival barker who can't support her first child and doesn't want a second. But Texas law will not allow her to have a legal abortion. "I'm pregnant—I'm not trash," she complains. "Either I get myself cut up on a table top or I end up carrying a baby for nine months that I can't keep—all because I made a mistake." Her mother attacks her for having "the morals of a cat." Her father gives her sympathy. And Amy (Field of Dreams) Madigan, as her lawyer, Sarah Weddington, takes her case to court. Half the show is Roe's story; we see her mistakes, her regrets, her pain. But this also is the story of an inexperienced yet dedicated attorney; we see her continue on even after colleagues shy away from the heavy work and after professors accuse her of carrying on the fight because she is "too emotional." This is a movie about feminism as well as abortion.
The last time I remember seeing the subject of abortion handled by TV in a big way was in Choices, a 1986 movie in which—just to play absolutely safe—one woman had an abortion and one did not. TV wanted to take no chances; TV wanted to offend no one; TV was scared. But in Roe vs. Wade, NBC gives us much more credit for intelligence and maturity. This show is no video bumper sticker. It does not try to convince us that Roe was right or wrong. Nor does it try to numb us or neutralize the debate by cautiously balancing every minute with a pro for every con. No, this show simply tells us the true, human story behind this infamous case and acknowledges that we will decide what to think ourselves. On TV these days, that takes some courage.
As a drama, Roe is gripping and well-told. Hunter is simply great. She treats her character with respect but also blunt honesty. Thank goodness she hasn't become one of those actresses who thinks she's too good for TV. And Madigan is equally wonderful; she is frightened—as any green lawyer in her shoes would be—but also forceful.
It is rare that a movie this important is also this good.

Councilman Scales gives OK on potential legal advisor
The city of Bainbridge Island is getting closer to finding an acceptable lawyer who can offer outside advice on potential conflicts of interest involving the city attorney.
Last week, Bainbridge Island City Councilman Bob Scales told Mayor Debbi Lester that he was OK with one of the three attorneys suggested by Lester for the informal counseling session.
The proper role for Bainbridge's city attorney has been the topic of much talk since January, after Councilman David Ward hired an attorney from Inslee Best — without the council's approval — to give advice on how the city could get rid of its city manager.
Inslee Best later submitted a bill totaling $3,553 for legal services between Jan. 5 and Jan. 16; the work included the review of employment agreements and drafting of a separation agreement for former city manager Brenda Bauer.
Some on the council were caught by surprise by the bill from Inslee Best, and the council decided not to pay the bill. Others asked why city officials hadn't instead sought advice from Will Patton, their own in-house attorney.
Ward and Lester, however, said Patton could not provide his legal opinion on issues involving Bauer because they claimed it posed a conflict of interest since Bauer had hired Patton.
Earlier this month, Lester offered three suggestions for an outside attorney who could brief the council on conflicts of interest; Thomas Brubaker, Ken Bagwell and Bruce Disend.
Scales told Lester that he thought Brubaker was acceptable and added that he did not approve of Bagwell or Disend.
Scales said both work for private law firms, like Inslee Best, and would likely advise the city to use outside attorneys instead of relying on its own attorney when potential conflicts arose.
Brubaker had served as a city attorney for 10 years, Scales said, and he asked Lester to schedule a time for Brubaker to speak with the council as soon as possible.
"Council member Scales has done his homework and has found someone he approves of," Lester said.
"We will bring it back to council and see who they decide," she added. "I'd like to hear from the five other people on the council."
The discussion on outside attorneys is expected to continue at a future council meeting, but Lester did not indicate when the topic would make it onto the agenda.

Despite calls from anti-drilling activists to take an aggressive stand against natural gas development, the Philadelphia Water Department is defending its measured approach to protecting the city's drinking water from Marcellus Shale gas drilling.
Water Department officials say they are concerned about environmental degradation from drilling in the Upper Delaware River - about 60 percent of the city's 1.5 million residents drink water drawn from the Delaware. But they say gas drilling is only one of many potential threats that the city must manage.

LEGO Star Wars Review
You can call Lego Star Wars a kid's game if you like, but it has a universal appeal to children of all ages.
It's at this point where you need to remember the game's target audience. If you're the kind of person who only plays a game through once before part exchanging it for a new title, then steer clear. Lego Star Wars is a game that has been designed with the intention of being replayed to death. With the Free Play mode, and 30 unlockable characters, you can see why. The reward system for the game revolves around the collection of Lego studs - silver studs scoring 10 points, gold studs scoring 100 points, and blue studs scoring 1,000 points. These studs can be redeemed at Dexter's Diner (a locale from Attack of the Clones, itself a reproduction of a scene from Lucas' film American Graffiti) for characters such as Jango Fett and Count Dooku, or for other unlockable items, such as outsized blasters, and even invincibility (at the prohibitive cost of 1,000,000 studs). This "gotta catch 'em all" ethos is undoubtedly there to appeal to the obsessive pre-teen player, who has been raised on the Pokèmon principle. These studs can be obtained via using the Force to pull them out of objects you can interact with, or simply by destroying objects within the game world, and there's considerable fun to be had by simply finding all the objects you can obtain studs from. Objects such as switches can also be activated via the Force, (other objects, such as targets, can be used via shooting them with blasters) unlocking objects such as Lego canisters. Ten of these canisters are hidden on each game level, constructing a vehicle, which becomes parked outside the main mission hub of Dexter's Diner.
On the face of it, these unlockable items may seem purely cosmetic, but unlocking all of these vehicles, plus completing every level with "True Jedi" status (i.e. collecting a certain number of studs within the level) will unlock a fourth campaign, rewarding the obsessive replaying the game's target audience will devote to the game. Replaying the game in Free Play mode not only allows you to collect hidden power ups unavailable in the Story Mode, but also allows you to pitch the most unlikely characters against each other. Playing the finale of Episode I with Darth Maul fighting himself is sure to raise a wry smile with even the most seasoned of gamers.
Given that the main game covers the major events of Star Wars Episodes I-III, inclusive, it should be said that the 6 game levels for Episode III contain major spoilers for the film. For those who haven't already guessed the ending of Episode III, you would do well to avoid this section of the game, until you've seen the film. For the sake of journalistic integrity, I subjected myself to the spoilers, and can say without a shadow of a doubt that if the film is half as good as the game levels, then Revenge Of The Sith represents a true return to form for the film franchise. The opening level for Episode III, where Obi-Wan and Anakin attempt to land on the Separatist command ship in Jedi Starfighters, is nothing short of spectacular, and even outweighs the grandeur of TIE-Fighter's more ambitious missions.
There is plenty of variety in the individual missions, encompassing infantry action, to pod-racing and even a Zaxxon-inspired scrolling shooter level, when you take command of a Clone Gunship towards the end of the Episode II campaign. Despite the simplicity of the gameplay, Lego Star Wars is very rewarding and a highly polished title. The game hits its mark perfectly. Star Wars fanatics from five to thirty-five will love its charm, presentation and accessibility. Whilst it might be easy for cynics to point out the game's flaws and snort that it could have been so much better than it is, you might as well criticise Halo 2 for only being able to run around shooting things. To criticise Lego Star Wars for simplistic gameplay would be to miss the point.
To end the review where we started, it's not big and it's not clever: nor was it meant to be. Lego Star Wars is about the simple things in gaming. It's not about AI, it's not about physics, and it's not about dynamic cameras. It's about having the maximum amount of fun with the minimum amount of fuss. Whilst the niggles with the camera and the controls may prevent the game from reaching the true stratospheric heights of gaming perfection, Lego Star Wars achieves everything it set out to do, with considerable panache. As videogames for the 5-12 year old age group go, this is as good as I've seen. You can call Lego Star Wars a kid's game if you like, but it has a universal appeal to children of all ages.

[Korean] KaChi

Price Range: ~$10
1: Poor 2: OK 3: Good 4: Very Good 5: Excellent
Food: 4
Service: 3
Ambiance: 3
Overall: 3.5
Extra information:
*Popular for Pork bone soup
*Vegetarian Option Avail
*3 locations in Downtown Toronto
It was a cold day and my sister and I were craving Hot Pot. I found a decent looking place on Yelp, so we decided to head to Chinatown where it was located. Even after calling to see it was open, when we got there we realized it was not a Hot Pot place, but a Chinese Bakery. I have no idea what happened there but long story short, we were already in Chinatown and hungry so we decided to try the much famous Ka-Chi that was near by.
They have a very long menu and it seems very extensive. But when you look at each pages, it's basically same dish but in varieties of meat and vegetables. They seem to specialize in Bi-Bim-Bab, Various Meat dishes and Spicy soup (in general)
I know people say Korean restaurants give you free appetizers but these are actually sidedishes meant to be consumed during meal, not as an appetizer (although I do pick at it prior to arrival of my food cause I am usually starving!). They gave us 2 types of KimChi, Sweet potato, Seaweed, Stir fried Zucchini and Jelly noodles. None of the side dishes were that good- both KimChi tasted very bland, Seaweed dish was very sour and other 3 dishes were just nothing special.
Ordered: Pork bone soup 2/5
*Pork bone stew served with rice and side dishes for $7.95
*My sister decided to order the Pork bone soup since everyone raved about it so much.
*I personally don't like Porkbone soup cause I had it way too many times back in my university years when my guy friends ordered it all the time to eat it while drinking soju
*3-4 big pieces of porkbone with potatoes in a spicy broth
*There is a lot of meat on the bones and bean sprouts on the side
*Have to work with your chopstick to get the meat off
*Soup was little too mild for my taste
*Very distinct pork smell to this dish (if you don't really like pork, this might be a turn off)
Ordered: Spicy Bulgogi & Squid on Stone Plate 4/5
*Stir fried beef and squid in spicy sauce served with rice and side dishes for $11.95
*Lately, I've been obessed with Spicy squid and Milkshake (random, i know)
*Big portion with lots of meat and squid on sizzling stone plate
*This only looks very spicy, the color of this dish is very deceiving
*I found it to be a little too sweet near the end
*Lots of cabbage pieces, green & red pepper and onions
*Very good with rice and could be shared between 2 people
*I want to try other stone plate dishes next time
Ordered: Seafood Pancake 5/5
*Seafood pancake with shrimp, squid and vegetables for $6.95
*This is a must order everytime I go to Korean restaurants because it's one of my favorite dishes
*They make this really well here with little flour and lots of seafood which makes it super crispy
*Dip this in the soy sauce they give you on the side and this can be eaten alone or with rice
*Seafood pancake is good for sharing if ordered as an appetizer
*This was one of the best seafood pancakes I had so far in Canada
*Must order when going to Ka Chi if you love seafood pancakes
Summary: Overall the service was decent and I loved how clean the restaurant is. The food is above average although I think dishes can be hit or miss depending on what you order but I will def go back to this place.

Total Performance Golf at The Biltmore
July 15, 2009. Ready to take the guesswork out of your golf game? Total Performance Golf (TPG) at the Biltmore in Coral Gables, Fla., was specifically designed to provide players with the ultimate golf learning experience.
"Most golfers today are over taught and under trained," says TPG founder Justin Bruton. "Fifteen years ago, the average American male golfer's handicap was 16.2, and the average female golfer's handicap was 29." Golf equipment has improved dramatically since the mid-1990s, he adds, but average handicaps in the U.S. have remained the same. Moreover, the overall fitness and physical abilities of most players has declined.
"No amount of training or practice can compensate for a body that cannot perform the functional movements of the swing," says Bruton, a golf biomechanics expert. "Motor patterns or 'swing faults' are built around physical limitations. It makes no sense to teach a swing correction to someone who is physically unable to perform it."
The answer? A revolutionary approach to teaching the game that is already beginning to transform traditional mainstream golf instruction.
Utilizing a team of golf instructors, physical therapists, fitness trainers and club fitters, Total Performance Golf at the Biltmore can accurately determine whether a player's body, swing and/or equipment is at fault. This integrated approach, coupled with state-of-the-art technology and the Biltmore's world-class facilities, ensures that all players at all ability levels can achieve a personal breakthrough.
"We are a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified facility, which means everyone on our staff has been individually certified by TPI, the leaders in elite player development," Bruton explains. "Golfers are put through an array of tests that, until now, were usually reserved for the best players in the world." The cornerstones of TPG's programs are Swing Efficiency, Physical Conditioning and Equipment Fitting.
"By assessing a total picture of a golfer's body, swing and equipment, the TPG team can devise a program that will optimize performance in a measurable and enjoyable way," Bruton states. "We rely on the knowledge and expertise of our TPI certified team to offer a scientific appraisal and training regimen that will improve a player's overall ability."
The ultimate goal? A fresh approach to the game, crisper ball-striking, lower scores and long-term wellness on and off the course.

A project of People For the American Way dedicated to monitoring and exposing the activities of the right-wing movement. Learn More >
Joel's Army and The Call
We wrote about The Call a few times before the rally on the National Mall earlier this month, but the Southern Poverty Law Center has released a fascinating new report entitled "Arming" for Armageddon that puts its activities in an entirely new light.
It turns out that The Call and its founder Lou Engle are closely aligned with a militant Christian dominionist movement called "Joel's Army" run by self-proclaimed prophet and faith-healer Todd Bentley:
Joel's Army believers are hard-core Christian dominionists, meaning they believe that America, along with the rest of the world, should be governed by conservative Christians and a conservative Christian interpretation of biblical law. There is no room in their doctrine for democracy or pluralism.
According to Joel's Army doctrine, the enforcers of the five-fold ministry will be members of the final generation, for whom the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade constituted a new Passover.
Bentley, who claims to be a supernatural healer, is no less over the top, playing his biker-punk appearance and heavy metal theatrics to the hilt. On YouTube, where clips of his most dramatic healings have been condensed into a three-minute highlight reel, Bentley describes God ordering him to kick an elderly lady in the face: "I am thinking, 'God, why is the power of God not moving?' And He said, 'It is because you haven't kicked that women in the face.' And there was, like, this older lady worshipping right in front of the platform and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and the gift of faith came on me. He said, 'Kick her in the face ... with your biker boot.' I inched closer and I went like this [makes kicking motion]: Bam! And just as my boot made contact with her nose, she fell under the power of God."
The atmosphere is less charged with violence at "The Call," a 12-hour revival of up to 20,000 youths led by Joel's Army pastor Lou Engle and held every summer in a major American city (this year's event was scheduled for Washington, D.C. in August).
This March, at a "Passion for Jesus" conference in Kansas City sponsored by the International House of Prayer, or IHOP, a ministry for teenagers from the heavy metal, punk and goth scenes, Engle called on his audience for vengeance.
"I believe we're headed to an Elijah/Jezebel showdown on the Earth, not just in America but all over the globe, and the main warriors will be the prophets of Baal versus the prophets of God, and there will be no middle ground," said Engle. He was referring to the Baal of the Old Testament, a pagan idol whose followers were slaughtered under orders from the prophet Elijah.
"There's an Elijah generation that's going to be the forerunners for the coming of Jesus, a generation marked not by their niceness but by the intensity of their passion," Engle continued. "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Such force demands an equal response, and Jesus is going to make war on everything that hinders love, with his eyes blazing fire."
For his part, Bentley's prestige and influence are suffering at the moment, thanks to the announcement that he was divorcing his wife.

One life.
One short-lived life, filled with love and uncertainty and a thousand questions for every one answer.
One life that can touch the lives and hearts of people that may have never had the opportunity to meet.
On May 21, Lucas Patrick Hardman was born. His parents, Brian and Nicole, both of whom I have known for a very long time and have had the joy and opportunity to call friends, welcomed their son to the world with all the excitement, enthusiasm and pride that first-time parents can.
Sadly, it was discovered only a few days later that Lucas was born with a very rare form of a very rare disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB.
The genetic skin disease has no cure, and in its most severe cases can cause death at a very early age. It causes blistering of the skin at the slightest touch and can cause blistering internally.
His form of EB, junctional herlitz, is considered the most severe and has a life expectancy of only two years.
Lucas was only five weeks old when he passed away from the disease June 24.
In his five weeks of life, little Lucas was able to touch more lives than most of us can touch in several dozen years.
It didn't take more than a minute to see that Lucas was a beautiful and special little boy.
His body was very thin and small, and his skin was blistered, but his eyes were so large and bright. I was very lucky, and I truly mean lucky, to have spent a couple hours with Lucas before he passed away, and I was mesmerized by his eyes.
I stood over him, and he looked up at me. It was almost like he knew what was going on, and in the chaos of his situation, his eyes were calm.
Children who are stricken with EB are often called ''butterfly children,'' because their skin is as fragile as a butterfly wing.
A lesson that Lucas taught me was to remind me of how fragile and uncertain life can really be. Life can be taken for granted, as can all the people around us because there is a belief that we have time, and I am very guilty of this.
Too many times do I say ''I'll do it tomorrow'' or ''not now,'' but in many cases that is exactly when I should be doing it - right now.
My son is 2 1/2 years old and my next one is due next month, and through Lucas I have tried desperately to spend all the time I can with my family and to let them know how much they mean to me.
It's hard to understand sometimes why things happen the way that they do. Why such sad and heartbreakingly devastating things can happen to people who don't deserve it, but there is a larger picture at work that we don't understand.
Over the course of the past couple weeks since Lucas left us, a truly amazing thing has begun to happen. People across the country, not just the community that we grew up in, have started reaching out and offering their aid to the family. People have stepped up and started spreading awareness of this disease that most people have never heard of, and it is in the name of this little boy.
Nicole once told me that she knew that all of this happened for a reason, and maybe that reason was so that Lucas could in some way help find a cure for EB.
I've known Brian since we were both in junior high, and we've spent many years together, growing up, becoming adults and experiencing life, but watching him throughout all of this showed me what strength he and his wife have.
A benefit for Lucas has been set up in my hometown, and the benefit hopes to continue working to raise money for the continued research into EB has become its goal.
I can't imagine, and never want to know, what it's like to lose a child, but to watch as these two extremely amazing people turn their sadness and loss into motivation to help others around the world in the battle against a disease that links them is truly inspiring.
Lucas' spirit will endure and will continue to motivate and push those of us who were touched by him to continue to work, not only to find a cure for EB, but also to spend every minute of every day with the people you love and appreciating what time you have with them.
None of us will ever forget that little boy or the lessons that he taught each of us. With a little hope, a lot of work and a lot more prayer, the love that we all share for Lucas will make a big difference in all of our lives.

Chiefland is a bit closer to having a new fire chief.
In a special meeting at City Hall Monday afternoon, the city commissioners picked six applicants from a pool of 29 who had applied for the position, which was left open after Fire Chief John Ward was fired last month.
Mayor Teal Pomeroy said the commission based its choices on three main criteria: previous job experience, education and whether or not the applicant was local.
"It definitely helps if they're local. It's an easier fit for the community," he said.
The Chiefland City Commission, at a special meeting Monday afternoon, gave Police Chief Robert Douglas high marks on his yearly performance evaluation and voted unanimously to approve the renewal of his employment agreement.
"I think the chief is doin' a great job," Vice-Mayor Teresa Barron said at the meeting. "People in the community love the chief. We love the chief."
Mayor Teal Pomeroy said Douglas' total points had increased a bit since his last evaluation.
The Chiefland Planning Board voted unanimously on Dec. 10 to recommend to the City Commission the annexation of property that contains the city's new wellhead.
The property, about 35 acres, is not physically connected to the city's boundaries and is surrounded on three sides by property owned by the Suwannee River Water Management District—the original owners of the water well field property.
Bill Hammond, building and zoning director, said the annexation would "give them (the city) more say" about what happens on or near the property.
State Rep. Leonard Bembry, D-Greenville, has been appointed Democratic Ranking Member for the Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Committee for the 2010 Legislative Session.
The Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Committee deliberates and votes on legislation involving agriculture and natural resources matters.
Prosecutor named to replace Smith as County Judge
Assistant State Attorney Tim Browning, 53, of Archer, has been named to replace Levy County Judge Joseph Smith on the bench.
Gov. Charlie Crist's office announced the appointment Monday afternoon, just days after Smith was honored at a retirement reception.
He was chosen over two attorneys who practice in Levy County: Ronald Stephens and Charlotte Weidner.
It was a tough picture for anyone to erase from memory: two men sat across a table dining while the hands of an unseen third man — the one wearing a video camera whose wiring is sewn into his shirt — reaches into a bag and pulls out a stack of fresh $100 bills.
"Let's get down to business here," the disembodied voice of FBI Special Agent Sean Quinn said, "This is $10,000 here." He counts out the bills into ten stacks. The image of Benjamin Franklin on the front of the crisp bills almost seems to stare into the camera.
The beleagured Levy County Emergency Medical Service is buying two new units for $114,695 each because the current fleet of seven vehicles is spending too much time in the shop with high-milage on them.
The purchase, from Wheeled Coach of Winter Park, was approved by the commission during its regular meeting on Tuesday at the County Courthouse. The money is in the department's budget for the year.
Firefighter Jeff DiMaggio has been selected by the town council to fill the vacant chief position for Bronson Volunteer Fire and Rescue. DiMaggio joined the BVFR in July, after completing the construction of a home outside of the city limits. Before the move, he spent more than nine years as a member of the Cedar Key Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department where he also served as assistant chief.
DiMaggio is a Fire Management Officer for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Chiefland and Levy County residents needing the blood-filtering effects of kidney dialysis will soon find they need not travel far. That's because Chiefland is about to have its own kidney dialysis facility.
Ron Colvin, field superintendent for the construction company overseeing the project, said the facility, started in October, should be completed by mid January.
The building, owned by Fresenius Medical Care, is of modular construction and is about 7,000 square feet. Colvin said the building is meant to handle up to10 patients at a time.
Central Florida Community College is one step closer to getting a new name.
The CFCC District Board of Trustees approved the name College of Central Florida at their Tuesday meeting. Other names recommended to the board were: Central Florida State College, Florida American College and State College of Central Florida.

A large number of local journalists besides the members of Bajaur press club, civil society and workers of different political parties participated in the protest demonstration.

Brooke Shields is lashing out at Tom Cruise, who recently criticized the actress for using antidepressants and called her actions "irresponsible."
Shields, whose recent book Down Came the Rain chronicles her battle with postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter Rowan in 2003, says Cruise should mind his own business.
"Tom should stick to saving the world from aliens and let women who are experiencing postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them," says the former Suddenly Susan star.
Last week Cruise told Access Hollywood that is was "irresponsible" for Shields to assert that antidepressants helped cure her. "When someone says (medication) has helped them, it is to cope, it didn't cure anything. There is no science. There is nothing that can cure them whatsoever," he said.
Cruise, 41, who is an ardent advocate of Scientology, which condemns mind-altering prescriptions of any kind, instead suggests that women care for themselves with "vitamins and exercise." He then added about Shields: "I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented women, (but) look at where has her career gone."
Meanwhile, amid industry speculation that Cruise's agents are seeking to rein in their star's very public advocacy of Scientology, Thursday's New York Times reports that the planned press junket for Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, starring Cruise and opening June 29, has been scrapped in favor of "preselected interviews," according to the director's spokesman, Marvin Levy.
Regarding Cruise's recent interview comments, especially to Oprah Winfrey (on whose show Cruise jumped around and flexed his muscles to show his love for Katie Holmes), Levy said: "You can have so much attention on a particular issue that maybe the movie doesn't get as much attention as it might."
As for Cruise's new girlfriend, Katie Holmes, she has nothing but praise for her beau. "He's the most amazing man in the whole world," she said at the May 31 Tokyo premiere of Batman Begins. A source says Holmes, who is Catholic, hasn't converted to Scientology but is interested in understanding it.

Ian Holloway has called for the Premier League to take into consideration bringing in a winter break.
Around Christmas and New Year football is played on Boxing Day and New Years Day, leaving players little time to train and prepare in the correct way for the fixtures, and little time to celebrate with their own families.
Blackpool host Liverpool on Boxing Day then travel to Eastlands to face Manchester City on New Years Day, two of six Premier League fixtures for the Seasiders over the festive period.
Ollie also believes that families across the nation would rather be sat at home with their families tucking into some turkey, rather than traveling the length and breath of the country to go support their team.
If recent results are anything to go by, then December should be another positive month for the Tangerines.
Blackpool are in a healthy 11th position in the Premier League table, five points clear from the relegation zone.
So far Ollie's Tangerine Army are proving all of their critics wrong, and the most refreshing thing from a fans point of view is that the players are doing it by playing attractive attacking football.
Up next is the one that every fan circled on their fixture list at the start of the season; Manchester United at Bloomfield Road.
The Red Devils look like they are hitting top form following their 7-1 thrashing of Blackburn on Saturday.
The biggest fear for anybody though is going into the unknown. The table toppers have not faced this Blackpool side before and will be weary of the all out attack attitude that Ian Holloway's side posses.
The Seasiders have only lost one of their previous six premier league fixtures and that was a last minute winner at Villa Park.
This unique Premier League footballing philosophy has led to Blackpool picking up points against Liverpool, Bolton and Newcastle who are all in the top ten.
By the end of December could we be adding Manchester United and Manchester City to the list?
I think it's a possibility, as I'm sure everybody else connected to Blackpool FC does.
The congestion of fixtures over the festive period means that it is crucially important for the Seasiders to carry on picking up points over December into the New Year.
So get your thermals on and get to the games as the Tangerine army will be backing Ollie's Army all the way into 2011!
Think that if the manager of the club maintains the club, spends their money on quality players, then the club will be great in future.
The congestion complaint by Blackpool's manager Ian Holloway is due to his small pool of players to use.
The money that professional players receive is far more than the average household family combined makes. Football is entertainment, our time off is partly for entertainment. The one reason football is played on Saturdays and Sundays. We have a Christmas holiday, we need to see our football.
If the players need time off, let them have it in the middle of January, when we are back trying to make a living.
If you are in the sports industry, you know you work evenings, weekends, holidays. That is why you are paid outrageous money and the fans can watch on their time off.
It is the same in many contries. American football and basketball is played on Christmas Day and New Years Day.
Never change, this is the way it is.
I was going to come in here agreeing with Holloway but after seeing Mike's comments, I take that thought back. I could understand Holloway wanting to get some time for his team to get a rest and get ready for the next run but in respect to the other clubs it would be a waste. So in that light, let it continue as it should.
