The Great Crash and the Onset of the Great Depression
Christina D. Romer
University of California, Berkeley - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
June 1988
NBER Working Paper No. w2639
This paper argues that the collapse of stock prices in October 1929 generated temporary uncertainty about future income which caused consumers to forego purchases of durable and semidurable goods in late 1929 and much of 1930. Evidence that the stock market crash generated uncertainty is provided by the decline in confidence expressed by contemporary forecasters. Evidence that this uncertainty affected consumer behavior is provided by the fact that spending on consumer durables and semidurables declined immediately following the Great Crash and by the fact that there is a negative historical relationship between stock market variability and the production of consumer durables in the prewar era.

[QUOTE=lucy1984;1039211]Fair enough, I am sure there are some primal purists out there who wouldn't go off plan even for a 'last meal' :D
As for the metabolism - I dunno. Still no weight loss, so I guess not great!
Meanwhile, the holiday my husband and I had been planning to the UK in June fell through, as he can't get the time off, so we're going to go to Hawaii again in Sept instead. I have mixed feelings about this. While I LOVED Hawaii, and am so enthused to go back to Maui, and see Kauai for the first time, and do all the great snorkelling and hiking etc, part of me is worried that a) I'll still be the same size when I go , and b) I'll gain another 6kg over there! At least I have til Sept to keep trying to work this out. I'd be happy enough being the size I was when I went last time. Which was still uncomfortable for me, but just passable in shorts.[/QUOTE]
Hey, stranger! How've you been feeling? I haven't been on here much and have been ridiculously busy, but hopefully things are going to slow down at least temporarily after the year is officially over.
Sorry to hear about the UK holiday not working out. However, Maui sounds GREAT - as does Kauai, of course. I hope you'll be able to have a wonderful time no matter what size you are and how your clothes are fitting. I have a feeling you will have finally nailed down what combo works for you as far as adrenals, thyroid, diet and exercise by then - but I hope you'll be able to let that not be the determining factor in enjoying everything in life then or through all of the time in between! I swear, I think stressing about our weight is a MAJOR hindering factor and works strongly against our efforts to change it. I think we totally underestimate it.
What has been your regimen lately with your meds and has it been helpful with energy, mood, etc? What kind of exercise have you been able to do without paying for it afterward by feeling wiped out the next day or any other negatives?

North Carolina voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to amend the state's constitution with a ban on same-sex marriage.
There is already a law against gay marriage in North Carolina, but it is the only state in the South that has not passed a constitutional amendment -- and laws can be overturned more easily than constitutional amendments.
The constitutional measure has sparked reactions from all sides. There have been protests in the streets. Former President Bill Clinton has a recorded telephone advertisement urging voters to oppose the amendment.
"If it passes, it won't change North Carolina's law on marriage," Clinton says in the ad. "What it will change is North Carolina's ability to keep good businesses, attract new jobs, and attract and keep talented entrepreneurs."
Evangelist Billy Graham and his son, Franklin, have come out in support of the amendment in a newspaper advertisement.
"I want you to take a stand for God's definition of marriage and that is between a man and a woman," Franklin Graham said.
Experts expect the measure to pass.

Coating Application
A United States military research and development agency awarded $1.5 million in a three-year project to develop new ways to apply thin-film coatings to military equipment without using excessive heat.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), an independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization based in San Antonio, TX, with the $1.5 million, three-year project contract to develop new technologies for depositing thin films.
The Southwest Research Institute was awarded $1.5 million to spend three years developing a way to apply thin-film coatings without using high-thermal energy.
DARPA's mission is to "maintain the technical superiority of the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from harming our national security."
Overcoming High-Thermal Energy
The contract award is under the agency's Local Control of Materials Synthesis (LoCo) program, which investigates new methods to meet the requirements of depositing thin-film coatings onto the surfaces of a variety of materials without using bulk heating.
The goal of LoCo is to overcome reliance on high-thermal energy input by looking at how thin-films deposit at the molecular component level in areas such as reactant flux, surface mobility and reaction energy.
Thin-film deposition requires high levels of energy to achieve the individual chemical steps to deposit a coating on a substrate. Currently, many of the high-temperature processes for applying the thin-film coatings cannot be used on military vehicles and other equipment because of the temperature limit for the material.
The LoCo program will attempt to create a new, low-temperature process, as well as a new range of coating-substrate pairings to improve the surface properties of materials used in defense technologies, including rotor blades, infrared missile domes and photovoltaics.
"Drawing from our experience in developing novel plasma technologies and thin-film deposition processes, we are focusing on the thin-film deposition process component of reactant flux," said Dr. Vicky Poenitzsch, a senior research scientist at SwRI's Materials Engineering Department and manager of the DARPA project, in a press release.
"We are developing a novel plasma technology—named high power impulse plasma source or HiPIPs—that will provide a high flux of reactive species to a surface while maintaining an overall low deposition temperature," Poenitzsch explained.
"The focus of the first year is a proof-of-concept demonstration of our HiPIPS plasma source to meet metrics for the reactant flux component. In the second year we will integrate our plasma source with other performer teams' technologies for surface reactivity and mobility," she said. The third year will focus on depositing a challenge film on a substrate and a DARPA-selected challenge film on a Department of Defense part.

Ratings for Dr. Carl K. Jonokuchi
Dr. Jonokuchi is the most incredible doctor I've ever had. He's our family doctor, and has always been extremely helpful and nice. He's sort of angelic. I hope he never retires and lives forever so I never need another doctor, because I don't think a better one exists.
Dr. Jonokuchi has been our family doctor for years. He always listens very carefully to your problem, and if treatment is warranted, explains any choices. He is always willing to recommend a specialist or tests if appropriate. He wants to make sure you are satisfied with your treatment. He always calls back if you call with questions. I have never had problems getting a quick appointment for a sudden illness.
Dr. Jonakuchi is the kindest, most sincere doctor - especially great for kids. He seems a bit quick in offering medications as solutions to symptoms (many doctors do). Dr. J is generous with supplying med samples. Staff is grumpy - perhaps overworked? I feel like I am a bother to them. Dr. Jonakuchi needs a partner - appointments start late (probably because Dr. J always spends lots of time with his patients). Staff says they will fax over prescription to CVS. CVS doesn't receive in timely manner. Happens all the time. Computer system as of 2012 seemed dated...staff could not access my kids' inoculation records for me without a date to search. Really? Dr. J will tell you he is there for your every need, but his tight schedule and long-time staff keeps him from being as great as he could be.
He really is the most straight forward doctor. Extremely nice and friendly. I trust his word over other doctors with longer experience.

I'm finding that multi-tasking works fine for some things, but not everything. When I'm handling my on-line banking, I better be careful. When I'm talking with someone, I need to give them my undivided attention. If I don't, then I'm essentially telling them that our conversation, and possibly friendship, is of little importance.
If God is who I say he is, then he deserves my undivided attention. This means turning off the iPhone during my daily devotions and resisting the temptation to see what my Facebook Friends are up to during the sermon time in church. Of course I can use technology as a means to connect with God (i.e. my Kindle e-reader Bible, or my iPhone devotional apps). But if I'm not careful, hundreds of distractions lie just a few finger taps away. Giving God my undivided attention means designating times when I solely focus on listening to him speak. It means allowing his words to slowly seep into my consciousness so that my heart is transformed and renewed.
Yes, I have a lot of things to juggle, and twenty-first century living is a lot more complicated than my grandparents could ever have imagined. But if I let it, the Information Age will completely consume me. And I've discovered that information and knowledge without focus leads to ignorance and insanity. So, I'm on a quest to prioritize and focus on what really matters. Care to join me?

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected 43 cents and $383 million, respectively.For the year, Synopsys now sees earnings of $1.79 to $1.81 a share on revenue of $1.53 billion to $1.54 billion, up from the June view of $1.70 to $1.77 in profit on $1.5 billion to $1.53 billion in revenue.Shares rose 4.4% to $24.47 in after-hours trading, as results in the latest quarter also exceeded the company's expectation.The maker of software used to design semiconductors and other electronic products has seen fairly stable results because most of its revenue is from license agreements signed in previous years. The company has also beefed up its portfolio with a string of acquisitions.Chief Executive Aart de Geus told Dow Jones Newswires the company continued to see strong demand in the major Asian markets of China, South Korea, Taiwan and India, while the rest of the regions Synopsys serves were stable. He said Synopsys has yet to see a change in Japan after the tsunami, saying it would take about a year before any disruptions were to occur.Synopsys is unique in that it typically enters a quarter with about 90% of revenue on hand, giving the company a high degree of stability. The company's average customers buy the products they need for three years and Synopsys then recognizes that revenue daily over the length of the contract.De Geus said Synopsys will post a double-digit increase for the top and bottom line in the fiscal year, saying in general, the company's technology is "doing quite well with our customers."For the quarter ended July 31, Synopsys reported a profit of $52.1 million, or 35 cents a share, up from $39.3 million, or 26 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding stock-based compensation and other impacts, per-share earnings rose to 46 cents from 39 cents.Revenue jumped 15% to $386.8 million.In May, the company projected adjusted earnings of 41 cents to 43 cents on revenue of $378 million to $386 million.Operating margin narrowed to 15% from 15.1%.Ahead of the results, D.A. Davidson said bookings growth and a continued high level of research and development spending by the company's large customers should drive "meaningful earnings growth over the next few years." The investment firm said that while there was some cautiousness among the customers of electronic design automation software vendors, research budgets from semiconductors remain intact.Backlog at the end of the prior fiscal year stood at about $2.4 billion, a figure de Geus said doesn't change much from year to year. The company only shares that metric once at the end of every fiscal year.-By John Kell, Dow Jones Newswires; 212-416-2480; email@example.com

|Here are some details about my project:
|Romantic, Traditional, Formal / Bridal, Classic
I just love, love, love anything that will make me look more feminine. I'm a girly girl at age fifty something,and I seek out the most feminine items to wear. I love the way the women use to dress in the fifties, and the sixties. They were so feminine. I love the way these women wore lip stick, pencil skirts, pencil dresses, and gloves. I go to this site name StopStaring. com and the dresses there are exquisite, and expensive but these dresses are not in the category with what you buy, or how much they cost. These dresses are in the category of investing, or investment in your femininity. Some women need plastic surgery and some of us just need a well tailored dress to show the world the woman within us. Thank you for Phoenix collar. It is beautiful, and very girly. Thank you.

Hats off to a man who can improvise.
My takeout travels took me last week to Big G's Bar-B-Que, a relatively new barbecue and soul food joint. On the suggestion of owner Gary Gray, I ordered a catfish fillet dinner.
When I asked for some tartar sauce for the three large fillets that come with the meal, Gray paused for a second and said, "You know, we don't have that, but we really should."
Where: 2921 Eastern Ave. SE
Hours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday; 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Friday and Saturday; closed Sunday
Credit cards accepted: All major
Contact them: 245-7572 or 914-9922
Contact us: Know a good place to grab some tasty takeout grub? Contact The Press Entertainment Department at 222-5585, or e-mail email@example.com.
He retired to the kitchen and emerged five minutes later with a tartar sauce he created on the spot. Along with the breaded and perfectly spiced fillets, the meal included a choice of two sides and dessert -- I went with collard greens, potato salad and chocolate cake.
Not a bad haul for eight bucks. More adventurous eaters are welcome to accept the 20-inch hamburger challenge. Anybody who can eat a double-long meatloaf sandwich in 30 minutes gets it free. I'm getting chest pains just thinking about that. Careful, though, it's $22 if you don't finish.
That's an inventive way to get the word out, which Gray admits has been difficult. In addition to the usual hardships of restaurant ownership in a struggling economy, people are loyal to their barbecue.
"I can get 'em," Gray said confidently.
Even if Big G's doesn't switch your barbecue loyalty, it makes a good case for widening the palette.
Get the menu -- Takeout copies are available at the restaurant.
Place your order -- By phone (245-7572 or 914-9922) or in person. Delivery is available for orders over $25.
Fighting traffic -- Big G's is on Eastern Avenue just south of 28th St., and there's a parking lot in front.
The wait -- About 20 minutes.
Packaging/extras included -- The meal and sides came in a typical foam plastic container. The cake was served in a durable plastic tub.
Specials/best bets -- They rotate. The current special is 25 percent off any menu item.
In a nutshell -- In a city that's great for barbecue, Big G's is ready to roll with the big dogs.

Today's baseball game at Hoopes Park between Kennett and host Bishop Shanahan really doesn't mean anything in the Southern Chester County League.
Shanahan wrapped up the title the week before with a win at Oxford, and at 9-2 in the circuit, the Eagles have an insurmountable two-game lead over second-place Unionville (7-5). Even with a win, Kennett (6-5) can only tie the Indians for second place.
Both Shanahan and Kennett are in the PIAA District 1 Class AA playoffs. Shanahan, the defending champion, is the top seed with an 11-7 overall record. Kennett (7-6) is the sixth seed in the eight-team field. But the Blue Demons beat the Eagles earlier this year, 5-2. And another win over the top seed entering the playoffs can only boost Kennett's district title hopes. Kennett lost to Caravel (Del.), 3-2, on Friday, but Kennett coach Tim Skiles was heartened by the defeat. He received two innings of strong pitching from staff ace Brad Johnson, and also got a strong three-inning, one-hit outing from sophomore Matt Tomko.

Dr. Sally Porter Ross, a Houston psychologist, drives the Middle Lane on Wednesdays. Today she tackles the toughest topic of all. Please read on:
Rhonda looked extremely uncomfortable as she softly said: " I always knew that I was going to die. I mean, who doesn't know that? But before, it was just like an intellectual awareness. Now it's something I really know in my gut. It's got a totally different feeling to it. And I feel sad about it and sometimes I feel very frightened. Mostly I feel very alone."
Rhonda was in her late forties and was grappling with perhaps the toughest issue we must face in life. I once heard a philosophy professor say that the greatest philosophical questions of all time can be condensed into one crucial issue: Why do we have to die?
Stephen was also wrestling with his mortality. But because of his faith, his feelings were different from Rhonda's. "I don't know if I could get through this without my faith," he said. "As upsetting as it is, knowing that I've got to leave this beautiful planet and all the people I love here, I can take comfort in my conviction that I will be joining my Lord, as well as all those who have gone on before me. If it weren't for that core belief of mine, I don't know what I would do."
This is the sixth and final realization of mid-life. Now we step into a position of the last generation of authority in the family. We become the primary decision-makers as our parents step down. I first realized I was in this stage when my mother and I went out to eat. At the end of the meal, the waiter invariably gave me the bill. Initially this was shocking; not because I didn't want to handle it, but rather because all my life, waiters saw my parents as the people in charge, the patrons who were of course expected to pay. Now I was the one expected to take care of things.
Through all of this, two basic questions emerge. The first is,"Why am I doing this?" One of my patients, Susan, said that she was driving to yet another luncheon when this question stopped her dead in her tracks. She pulled over to the side of the road and realized that she was "measuring out my life with coffee spoons," to quote T.S. Eliot.
Susan was at a point where she instinctively knew that she must determine what was really important, what really mattered. To that end, she qualitatively changed the balance in her life. It wasn't that she never went to another luncheon, but she did cut way back.That opened up more time to read, to play the violin and to visit with her family.
The second question is, "What do I really believe in?" Like Stephen, some people move further into their faith. Others adopt a different belief system or philosophy of life. Whatever direction one takes, the basic importance of answering this question is paramount. The deepest part of us knows that before we leave this planet, we need to know what we really believe in.
While this last major realization — I Am Going to Die — is really tough, the rewards of dealing with it are huge. Only through facing the fact that I am going to die, can I move towards a thoughtful understanding, acceptance and finally celebration of life.

GHAZIABAD: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was on a two-day dharna in the national capital, underwent a series of tests in a hospital here after suffering severe bouts of cough and is unlikely to attend office today.
Kejriwal was in the hospital for 45 minutes.
I came here to get my continuous cough treated. CT scan has also been conducted, he told reporters outside the hospital after being examined by the doctors.
Dr Sunil, who treated Kejriwal at Yashoda Hospital, said the Chief Minister had complained of persistent cough.
We have conducted several tests, including CT scan on him. We have asked him to take rest today, said Dr Sunil, adding that reports of some tests would come tomorrow.
After the findings, the doctors will treat him accordingly.
AAP sources said the Delhi Chief Minister may not attend office today.
The Delhi Chief Ministers dharna in the heart of the national capital came to an end last night after two police officers were sent on leave under a neat compromise with the Centre over his demand for suspension of five officials for alleged dereliction of duty.
The protest in the high-security Raisina Hill area ended following an assurance from Lt Governor Najeeb Jung.
Kejriwal announced that he was calling off the protest following the victory achieved by the people of Delhi. PTI

In Rhinebeck, Swarm of Onlookers Can't Catch a Glimpse of Newlyweds
RHINEBECK, N.Y. — The weeks of speculation may be over, but this small town on the Hudson River is still buzzing with excitement over the wedding of Chelsea Clinton.
Though it's official — the former first daughter tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, here Saturday night — media crews, out-of-town visitors and curious locals continue to crowd the sidewalks looking for any sign of the happy couple or the bride's parents, former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Dozens of television crews set up across the street from the Beekman Arms & Delamater Inn on Saturday, where many wedding guests were expected to be staying. Beginning early Sunday morning, journalists and onlookers continued to congregate outside of the hotel, where it had been reported that a post-wedding brunch would be held.
But despite hours of waiting — the crowds didn't start to thin until around 4 p.m. — the only boldface name they caught a glimpse of was Bill Clinton's half-brother, Roger Clinton, who was seen outside the hotel shortly after noon, chatting with state troopers.
"We had so much fun," he shouted to a reporter before hopping in a black town car.
Sunday's brunch was actually held about a mile away at Grasmere, a 525-acre estate where the couple also celebrated their rehearsal dinner Friday evening.
Hundreds of cars — including dozens of vans, SUVs and limousines with dark, tinted windows — rolled in and out of a long, gravel driveway marked "Private Drive: No Trespassing." The brunch was scheduled to take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., according to a person familiar with the event.
Chelsea and Marc, as well as the Clintons, were present at Sunday's sendoff, according to two people who said they went to the rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch.
And Sunday's brunch proved to be an early morning wakeup call for many attendees: though Saturday's wedding was scheduled to end at midnight, an after-hours celebration, complete with live music, continued until 5 a.m., according to a person familiar with the event. This person added that Bill Clinton even returned to the home at which he had been staying for a quick change of clothes before returning to Astor Courts to rejoin the festivities.

If you buy into the fact that the pitching staff could be decent, then there's finally a reason to be optimistic about our baseball team. It's not enough optimism to justify throwing a parade, but then again, it may be. Who doesn't like a parade? We'll order cupcakes and put Milo and Drayton in old cars and have ourselves a high old time.
From the first day of spring training, we guessed these boys would have trouble scoring runs. There weren't enough home runs in the lineup. There weren't enough walks.
However, some of us thought the Astros could still be competitive—and I'm not sure what competitive means; it's a vague term meaning you can never be wrong—because of the pitching. With Brett Myers, Wandy Rodriguez and J.A. Happ at the top of the rotation and with Brandon Lyon at the back of the bullpen, the pitching staff appeared to be the strength of the team.
So far, the Astros are scoring enough runs, at least they're scoring enough runs in certain games. When a team scores five runs, it should win. When teams score less than five, they generally have a losing record. Last season, the Astros were 42-12 when scoring at least five runs and 34-74 when they didn't. Actually, the 2010 Astros only needed four runs to win. They were 59-21 when scoring at least four and 17-65 when scoring three or less.
The Astros are 1-7 when scoring four runs or less this season, and they're 2-1 when scoring five or more. They've score that many in two of their last three games, and won both of them.
And the part of the team that was supposed to be a weakness hasn't been. The Astros are still at or near the bottom of the National League in walks, home runs and OPS, and near the top in strikeouts.
But they've still managed to score the fourth-most runs in the NL. Hunter Pence, Angel Sanchez, Michael Bourn and the catchers are all off to solid starts. It's a challenge for Brad Mills to cobble a lineup together with so little production coming from third, second and first. He inserted Carlos Lee for Brett Wallace at first on Wednesday, and it'll be interesting to see how the lineup evolves if Wallace, Hall and Johnson continue not to hit.
There's a vague line between throwing young guys out there and allowing them to fight through bad times. But if they're going badly enough, it can be even worse to continue to play them. That's why Brad and his coaches make the big bucks.
Meanwhile, the pitching has been terrible. The Astros are last in the National League with a 5.70 ERA, and starters not named Brett Myers have a 12.14 ERA.
If you're an optimist, you'll look at these numbers, see them turning around and feeling just a tad better about the ballclub. On the other hand, you could look at the offense—home runs, strikeouts and walks in particular—and think that this current offensive output is a myth.
Snapshot analysis of a baseball team is frequently wrong, and this one very well could be. But that's why God gave us a delete button.
The Astros still have the second-worst record in all of MLB. Only the Red Sox are worse, and wouldn't you hate to be one of those players because they live in a city where reporters aren't as nice as we were down here.
On the other hand, I'm guessing those boys and girls don't have their own VIP dining room. They'd be pretty jealous if they saw some of the dishes Bryan Caswell has served us, and if the price is being a little understanding to an owner's problems, so be it. Hey, Caswell, Scrunchie loves the shrimp dish. I love baseball.

A Japanese student attending college in Williamsport is using the power of social networking to reach out to the victims of Friday's earthquake and encourage her friends and fellow students to get involved.
Sayumi Akashi, a junior at Lycoming College, is taking advantage of the ubiquity of Facebook to run an online campaign in support of the earthquake victims and to keep the disaster at the forefront of her American friends' minds with regular updates.
Akashi, whose family lives in Chigasaki-shi, Kanagawa prefecture, which is part of the greater Tokyo area, said her family is safe, as is her home. She learned about the earthquake through Facebook, as many of her friends at home began posting updates on the situation. While earthquakes are common in many areas of Japan, no one had seen anything this massive before.
"I was surprised and everyone was commenting (on Facebook) and everyone was afraid of the earthquake because everyone has never experienced a big earthquake before," Akashi said. "I was shocked and I was afraid."
The quake hit her hometown and her university at lower levels of impact. The earthquake in Chigasaki-shi was of 5.0 magnitude, while the University of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo was hit by a 6.0 magnitude. Akashi's mother e-mailed her soon after the earthquake to tell her daughter that she was safe, as was their home. Friday afternoon, Akashi's father was at work.
"He couldn't come back, because the train doesn't work," Akashi said. Her father now is staying with a sister.
Once she knew her parents were safe, Akashi quickly logged on to Facebook to create a campaign encouraging Lycoming College students to take action for Japan. Akashi asked students to leave messages for the earthquake victims on the event message board, which she will translate and send along through the Japanese version of Facebook.
"About 20 people wrote messages," she said.
The campaign will continue throughout spring break, which extends through this week.
"I'm keeping (the messages) for about one week and after that I will send them," Akashi said.
Akashi also is asking students to make donations to the American Red Cross, which gave an initial contribution of $10 million to aid earthquake victims Tuesday. Red Cross workers in Japan have been clearing debris, providing medical transportation and distributing food and relief items such as blankets.
Akashi said that while her town was not near the earthquake site, the effects of the disaster are far-reaching.
"There is a blackout and for about three hours (each day), my hometown can't use the light," she said.
Planned blackouts began Sunday to conserve electricity. Japan no longer can provide electricity for all of its homes with the malfunction of nuclear power plants.
Because the train into Kanagawa is not working, the prefecture is running out of resources.
"There is no food in the supermarket and no gas," Akashi said. "But still it is better than in the cities."
Most of all, Akashi is relieved to know that her family and friends are safe.
"Everyone is OK, and I am so glad," she said.

"This is what the Lord says - your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 'I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.'" Isaiah 48:17
A GPS, or Global Positioning System receiver, takes signals from a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit the earth, converting those signals into real-time positioning information that is accurate to within 30 feet. A car GPS navigation system will make sure that you never get lost, even in unfamiliar places. I am sure that if you have a navigation system in your car or on your phone you have heard that often mechanical voice call out to you the turn-by-turn directions while leading you to your destination. It even recalibrates to get you back on track when you miss the turn whether intentional or not. Even if you change your mind and destination but do not turn off or reset the system it will continually recalibrate to direct you to the set destination.
God has His own GPS. I call it God's Positioning System. It is far older that the Global Positioning System although He did that first too. "From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live." (Acts 17:26) "It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter." (Psalm 74:17) God's system helps those who are lost to find their way, and then helps them to never get lost again if they continue to listen. God's Positioning System is a navigation system for living. "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10b) "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake." (Psalm 23:3) There is a final destination but, God chooses the destination. "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." (John 14:2-4)
God's Positioning System works directly and indirectly. Directly in that God does the instruction and guidance by dealing with you directly. "The Lord had said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.'" (Genesis 12:1) Also He gives those who accept His Son a special guide." But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." (John 16:13)
Indirectly, He has given us others in our life to help guide us and keep us on the right path. "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13)
I believe we can include parents on that list especially mothers. They have such a special bond with their children that gives them a tremendous amount of influence. Most, like our heavenly Father, want what is best for their children. With my own mother I may not have liked or understood all that she did and said at times. Yet, I did know that her motives were directed towards my good and the good of my brothers and sisters. I can see now how God used her in my life. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother'-which is the first commandment with a promise-'that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'" (Ephesians 6:1-3)
We can choose to ignore God as He speaks to us whether directly or indirectly through our parents or others. Then we grieve Him, the Spirit and those He leads to help us, and we often bring grief to ourselves.

According to 1860 Census data, South Carolina had the highest percentage (57.2 percent) of its population as slaves in the nation. Beaufort County (82.8 percent) and Georgetown County (85.7 percent) represented the significant impact of slave populations along the coast.
The legacy of the scar of slavery in South Carolina remains in the form of I-95 and what is now recognized as the "Corridor of Shame" — a collection of public schools bordering that interstate highway and serving in some of the highest poverty areas of S.C.
Another legacy of the South is school segregation. A 2012 report from the Civil Rights Project detailed the rise of re-segregated schools across the South:
"Black and Latino students in the South attend schools defined by double isolation by both race and poverty. The South reports high overall shares of students living in poverty, but students of different racial backgrounds are not exposed equally to existing poverty. The typical black and Latino student in the region goes to a school with far higher concentrations of low-income students than the typical white or Asian student."
The South, the report explained, has become a majority-minority region of the U.S.; however, "Since 1991, black students in the South have become increasingly concentrated in intensely segregated minority schools (90 to 100 percent minority students)."
In S.C., for example, only 38.5 percent of white students attend schools attended by typical African American students — a slight decrease when compared to 1970 (41.2 percent), 1980 (42.7 percent), and 1991 (41.8 percent).
An October 2013 study from the Southern Education Foundation has revealed that the "new majority" of students in U.S. public schools are high-poverty. For S.C., that means that 54.7 percent of public school students are living in poverty. This ranking places S.C. in the bottom quartile of the U.S. —approximately where many of the indicators used to compare the state's education system rank the state.
The overwhelming evidence now shows that S.C. is experiencing the same social dynamics that characterize the U.S. —an increase in child and family poverty, a widening gap between the affluent and the working poor and poor, and a slow recognition that public schools tend to reflect and perpetuate those inequities instead of helping children overcome them.
For S.C., these messages about re-segregating schools, increasing populations of impoverished students, and rising numbers of English language learners (ELL) should signal an end to current public discourse and policy related to education reform.
Many of the policies currently endorsed and poised to be implemented in S.C. are either not designed to address the poverty problem or are certain to increase the problems students bring to our schools.
For example, charter schools in S.C. and across the U.S. are not producing student achievement distinguishable from public schools, but charter schools are strongly associated with segregating students by race and class.
As well, redesigning teacher evaluation and pay based on student test scores is guaranteed to discourage S.C.'s best and brightest teachers from teaching in our high-poverty schools, increasing the historical failure to provide our high-poverty and ELL students with certified and experienced teachers.
This same failure is repeated by increasing our commitments to Teach for America, which places uncertified and inexperienced teachers with high-poverty students.
One of most damaging policies being endorsed in S.C. is the call to retain third graders based on test scores. Retention research for the past 40 years shows that retention does not improve achievement but does increase dropping out of school. A test-based retention policy, then, will disproportionately and negatively impact high-poverty and ELL students in our state.
A final, but indirect failure of current education reform is the adoption of Common Core and the related high-stakes tests.
South Carolina's education problems have nothing to do with our curriculum or our testing. Investing taxpayers' dollars and educators' time to yet again changing our standards and tests is a tremendous failure of leadership in a state now facing that new majority of high-poverty students.
Saying poverty doesn't matter appears to be a popular and even effective political ploy, but such baseless claims do nothing to end the weight of poverty on our students, our schools, and our state.
The first step to ending a problem is facing that problem:
South Carolina has a poverty problem, and to overcome that, we must make tough political decisions about social and educational policy that current education reform plans fail to address.

Richmond Fontaine, Ian Moore
[LOCAL GOLD] Were there a naturalization test for new Portlanders, at least one Richmond Fontaine question would make the Scantron test. Perhaps: âIs Richmond Fontaine A) One of the tightest and most face-melting groups in Portland, B) Fronted by arguably the best lyricist in the city, C) An alt-country institution coming up on its 20th anniversary or D) All of the above.â (Psst, itâs D.) While a small cabal of die-hard local fansâand a few curious followers of frontman Willy Vlautinâs excellent novelsâalways come out in support, the reception at home pales to the crowds that swell to see the band in Europe. Just back from a quick jaunt to Ireland and Norway, Richmond Fontaine will happily play an inspiring set of ludicrously well-written story-songs about hard-luck gamblers and recovering alcoholics at Danteâs whether the club is loaded or hollow. But I cannot think of a Portland group that more deserves a packed house. Make it so. CASEY JARMAN. Dante's, 350 W Burnside St., 226-6630. 9 pm. $8. 21+.
Pelican Ossman, Montgomery Word, Dramady
[BEDROOM TAPES] Skeletal, lo-fi, vaguely in tune yet oddly affecting, Pelican Ossman is Dan and Virginia Currin, armed with little more than guitar, drums and "weird samples." Tonight, the duo, who's been kicking around Portland the last few years and is just now getting back from a lengthy hiatus, celebrates the release of a new tape, Quarantine, whose 10 songs range from sparer-than-spare indie-pop to cheapo bedroom cumbia. It's all pretty rad. The Know, 2026 NE Alberta St., 473-8729. 8 pm. Call venue for ticket information. 21+.
Mt. Eden
[ELECTRO CROWDED HOUSE] New Zealand lads nearly young enough to have grown up around dubstep, Jesse Cooper and Harley Rayner's pubescent digital tinkering led to massive YouTube successes, even establishing an apparent Kiwi record with combined plays reportedly topping nine figures, after the duo essentially announced themselves to the world via the majestic tingle of their signature bass-drop off heavily remixed Afrobeat combo Freshlyground's "Sierra Leone." Since releasing 2010 EP Meds, Mt. Eden has officially put out only a newly reimagined version of "Sierra Leone" and recent floor-filler "Airwalker"—the lead single from this summer's debut full length, No Man's Land, blending skittering club beats, orchestral strings, and Annie Lennox-a-like vocals from Diva Ice for urgent, widescreen effect—but a towering word-of-web reputation for inventive live shows should draw the dance hordes nonetheless. JAY HORTON. Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St., 284-8686. 7 pm. $15 advance, $25 day of show. 16+.

Before the Eyewall
[INSTRUMENTAL DOOM METAL] While you weren't looking, a small section of Interstate 70 between Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, became a burgeoning microcosm for metalheads who prefer their guitars tuned low and their tempos clocking in between "glacial" and "impending catastrophe." Columbus' Before the Eyewall constructs slow-burning psych-doom dirges that teeter between triumphant guitar heroics and bludgeoning shards of low-end, making its self-titled debut the perfect backdrop for that recurring nightmare I have about being chased across the Badlands by a roving pack of mutants straight out of a Cormac McCarthy novel. Fans of Earth, Isis, Russian Circles and Godflesh will be hypnotized within minutes. PETE COTTELL. Tonic Lounge, 3100 NE Sandy Blvd., 238-0543. 9 pm. Call venue for ticket information. 21+.
Gathering of the Goof Punx
[ANTI-WARPED] Warped Tour got you down? Bummed about the utter corporatization of punk culture? Three days of the DIYest of DIY bands should help cure those blues. The annual Gathering of the Goof Punx brings together punks with a capital P. We can almost guarantee none of these bands have ever stepped foot inside a mall, and that if you weren't already planning on going, you've probably never heard of any of 'em. Multiple venues. See gatheringofthegoofpunx.tumblr.com for a complete schedule. Through Sunday, June 16. All ages.

The Best of Arya Show
[FAREWELL] Booker, OPB radio host and all-around man-about-town Arya Imig is leaving his post pulling in talent at Backspace, and the club is throwing him one hell of a retirement party, featuring post-punks the Estranged, young power-poppers Your Rival, atmospheric folkies Holiday Friends and self-described "typical white guy indie rockers" Awkward Energy. Hopefully this retirement goes better than others. Backspace, 115 NW 5th Ave., 248-2900. 8 pm. $6. All ages.
Acorn Project, Dark Matter Transfer
[ELECTRO-FUNK] Formed in a basement, like so many other bands, Bellingham's Acorn Project has grown from an experimental jam duo into a six-piece rock group that still heavily maintains its original jamming tendencies. The sextet mixes funky basslines, distorted saxophone and bright flourishes of keys and electric guitar with sprawling instrumental solos and rock progressions. The sound isn't entirely unfamiliar, but makes for easy listening, appealing to fans of classic rock, progressive jazz and funk all at once. KAITIE TODD. Goodfoot Lounge, 2845 SE Stark St., 503-239-9292. 9 pm. $8. 21+.

The Gospel According to Alaska Thunderfuck
[DRAG PARTY] From her Web site: "A bizarre cosmic collision propelled Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 to Earth in March 1966… and on to the fifth season of Logo TV's RuPaul's Drag Race in January 2013. Still radioactive, no one knows who or what she is yet, but no one cares, as long as she never returns to her native planet." Well, that's pretty much all you need to know, other than the fact that she's recorded a couple incompetent electro club jams about shoes and trannies. Something tells me that's beside the point, though. Branx, 320 SE 2nd Ave., 234-5683. 7 pm. $10. 21+.
Tony Bennett
[STANDARDS] This is your grandparents' popular music. At 86, Bennett is at the age where he's probably forgetting more than his heart back in San Francisco, but the dude reached American Treasure status, like, four decades ago. As long as he lets some younger folks win a few Grammys, we're cool with him. Plus, we'll never forget that time he presented a VMA with Anthony Kiedis and Flea. McMenamins Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey St., Troutdale, 669-8610. 6:30 pm. $51 advance, $53 day of show. Reserved seating is $109 advance, $113 day of show. All ages.

Erie man charged in beating death of city man
An altercation between two east Erie neighbors ended violently, city police said, when one man grabbed an aluminum baseball bat and viciously beat the other man about the head and body.
Police charge that when Robert E. Quick was finished attacking Aderian L. Page Sr. inside Quick's rear apartment at 2412 Pennsylvania Ave., Quick placed Page's body on a tarp, dragged him west across the small backyard, guided the body over a chain-link fence and left Page in a neighbor's backyard on East 24th Street, on a concrete pad near a wire fence.
Page's frozen body was found, facedown, early Thursday afternoon, three days after his family reported him missing to city police. His death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy on Saturday determined that he died of blunt-force trauma to the head.
Quick was taken into police custody Monday night. He was later charged with killing Page, 35, after detectives interviewed him for a second time. Quick made statements in the interview implicating himself in the crime, police said Tuesday.
Quick, 48, was placed in the Erie County Prison without bond after his arraignment Tuesday morning by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak on charges of criminal homicide/murder, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and possessing instruments of crime.
Quick was also charged with theft by unlawful taking and robbery for taking $500 from Page's pockets, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case. Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said the theft of the money was "probably an afterthought," and isn't believed to be the reason Quick attacked Page with the bat.
Quick additionally faces charges of tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse for removing Page's body from the apartment, for disposing of the tarp and one of Page's boots, and for cleaning up the crime scene, which was the interior of Quick's apartment, according to police and court documents.
Erie police detectives spent much of Tuesday at the apartment, processing it for evidence while a patrol officer was stationed outside.
The ongoing investigation into Page's death, Erie's first homicide of 2013, will include trying to determine Page's whereabouts between the time he left his home at 1021 E. 24th St. and when his body was found in the backyard of 1051 E. 24th St., seven houses east of Page's home and directly behind Quick's apartment building.
Page left his home on Feb. 22 at 5:30 p.m. But police do not know when he was killed, or when his body was left in the backyard, Franklin said Tuesday.
"We're still trying to put (a timeline) together," Franklin said. "We don't have anyone else who we believe saw him."
Asked about a possible motive in the killing, Franklin said Quick and Page were "known to each other," and that there were "anger issues" between the two.
He said Quick and Page had "contact" with each other, and the contact led to an argument which led to the attack.
The arrest of Quick followed an "intense, several day" investigation involving a few dozen interviews of Page's family and friends, and of residents in the neighborhood where the incident took place, Franklin said.
"We were working under the assumption that most of the case was in close proximity," he said.
Detectives working the case credited the cooperation of those interviewed in helping their investigation. Franklin said the interviews, and some evidence recovered, led them to Quick.
Quick was initially interviewed by detectives and then released. He was re-interviewed Monday, when police also served a search warrant on his apartment, according to investigators.
Police have recovered the aluminum bat used in the attack, Franklin said. He would not comment on the tarp.
Page's sister, Janaya Page, said Tuesday afternoon that the family was "relieved" that someone had been charged in the death of her brother. She said she didn't know Quick and had "never seen him before."
Other members of Page's family said they had seen Quick around the neighborhood but didn't know him.
Janaya Page said her brother never went anywhere and didn't get into trouble. He loved to cook and spend time with his three children, who range in age from 4 to 16.
"One thing for certain, he left a lasting impression on everyone," she said.

There are many unique facets of Westminster that Elizabeth has been a part of. Her favorites have included her involvement in the Honors program—through the Peer Mentor program and the biannual newsletter Honorable Mention, her work at the Writing Center as both a researcher and the Assistant Director, her time as an ASWC Nursing Senator, the many opportunities she had to serve as an academic outreach volunteer—helping children throughout the Salt Lake Valley get acquainted with the sciences, the chance to be the LDSSA choir president, and her time as an ESL tutor. These activities let her meet different groups of students and experience everything that Westminster has to offer.
Elizabeth's education at Westminster has been unique in that it has shown her how to see the world through both a macroscopic and microscopic lens. Her public health courses taught her to look at the big picture, how little changes affect populations on an international scale. She was able to experience this idea firsthand through a service learning May Term trip to India where she volunteered in a hospital. "It was eye opening to see how medical volunteers truly make a difference in the lives of those in need. Throughout my pre-med education, I learned the intricate chemical and biological make up of the world. This viewpoint informed the research that I conducted with the Great Salt Lake Institute; I searched for the presence of a new or novel halophile. It was interesting to see how much hard work is necessary for scientific breakthroughs, even if they discuss life on a minuscule scale," she said.
She traveled to Phoenix and Boston for the National Collegiate Honors Conference where she discussed the elements of an award-winning newsletter. She was chosen as a student judge for the national Honors program newsletter contest (and thus a conference presenter) after an issue of Honorable Mention that she edited; she won first place in the contest.
Elizabeth always felt that Westminster's environment was particularly geared towards providing the resources and support for students to succeed in personal endeavors. She experienced this atmosphere in the creation of her own annual service project, Treats for Troops. As a freshman, she approached Julie Tille in the Center for Civic Engagement with an idea to buy non-perishable food from Shaw with donated student meal plan funds. Julie introduced her to the SLICE and Service Learning Scholar programs that helped her with advertising, student support, and necessary project funds. "It was exciting to see this project grow in scope—thousands of dollars worth of food has been donated over the past four years, and I've been able to send nearly 100 boxes to US troops throughout the world," she said.
Another highlight of her Westminster education was the opportunity to spend the summer researching ovarian cancer, financed by the Honors program summer research grant. While she had completed other research at Westminster, she was able to tailor this project to fit her career goals, and she had the added benefit (and responsibility) of working independently: "I remember grappling with the data—both to create the right parameters to produce the information I wanted as well as figuring out the best way to display my results for an audience unfamiliar with cancer statistics. It was gratifying to present my findings to the Honors community as well as at Westminster's Undergraduate Research Fair and realize that I had intelligently conducted a research project that produced significant results (and helped me to be a co-winner of the 2013 QUARC award)."
One special highlight of her time at Westminster directly showcases how much the faculty care about their students. She was contacted by one of her professors regarding an opportunity to edit a fantasy novel written by a Westminster alumnus. Being an avid reader herself, she jumped at the chance and was thrilled to be hired based on her work in the Writing Center and the recommendation of her professor. Now, the first book in the series is nearly finished with the promise of more to come! Elizabeth said, "This opportunity wouldn't have been possible without my professor recognizing my potential and passing my name along!"
Elizabeth's academic (or other) highlights are probably her favorite memories at Westminster. They're the points in her education that she recalls with excitement and pride. With regards to Treats for Troops specifically, one of her favorite memories occurred the second day of the project, when she wasn't yet sure if the idea was going to be a success. She remembers walking into Shaw that morning and wondering if there would be any food in the giant tubs she had set out the night before. She knew it was early, but she desperately wanted some hint that the project would be well received by the students. To her great shock, the four tubs were filled to the brim with donated non-perishables! She recalls standing in astonishment, realizing how successful the project could be. So many students have supported Treats for Troops since then, not only in donating food, but also in written letters and packing boxes. She has even found a student willing to take over after she graduates, so the project will continue, hopefully for years to come – a heart-warming legacy.
She has no doubt that her education at Westminster made her goal of attending medical school possible. The college gave her the opportunity to grow academically through rigorous and rewarding courses, and as a person, with exposure to a breadth of unique activities. "The faculty support I received, even as a first semester student, has been incredible, and I am confident that the friendships I've made with my dedicated professors will continue past graduation," she said.
After graduation, she will be attending the University of Utah, School of Medicine. Eventually, she hopes to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynecology. It has been her dream for many years and she's very excited to enter the next stage of the journey.

On 2 January 2002, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued a memo creating the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). This new agency, formerly known as the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), reorganized how the Defense Department addresses missile defense. The new MDA combines all aspects of the different missile defense systems programs (theatre and national missile defenses) into a single program.
The new agency, whose director will report directly to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, is assigned to streamline the Pentagon's missile defense research and development program with a focus on block upgrades and system deployment. In addition, the memo directs that all ballistic missile defense system development and testing will be planned without regard to the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. However, no action will be taken that would violate the treaty until the U.S. officially abrogates the treaty in June 2002. In addition, MDA will approach missile defense from a capability based approach to defense planning instead of the threat based approach which has dominated past thinking. This way of thinking about defense planning looks at "how an adversary might fight rather than specifically whom the adversary might be or where a war might occur."
Secretary Rumsfeld, as part of the 2 January 2002 memo, identified the four priorities for the new Missile Defense Agency. The first is to .defend the U.S., deployed forces, allies, and friends.. Secondly, MDA is to deploy a layered missile defense shield that will have the capability to intercept missiles during the boost, midcourse, and terminal phases of their flights. The memo directs the Services to deploy elements of missile defense as soon as possible as its third priority. Lastly, the MDA will work and to develop and test technologies, use prototypes and test assets to provide an early capability for the deployment of a ballistic missile shield.
To help achieve these goals and priorities, Rumsfeld decreed that the single program for development be implemented to design, develop, and test the elements of an integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS)). Furthermore, the MDA is to take a flexible approach to BMDS development so that the elements are interoperable and complement each other and supports the deployment of BMDS in different combinations of over time. Budgeting for research, development and testing will be the responsibility of the MDA while procurement for BMDS is the responsibility of the Services.

It was a long-awaited homecoming for some of the missionaries arrested in Haiti.
Nearly 200 people greeted the returning team members with cheers and hymns as they arrived at the airport in Boise, Idaho.
"We're all very happy to be home. We're very grateful for all of your prayers your all of your support," one of the female missionaries told reporters. "We're still very overwhelmed, but we felt everyone's prayers. Our God is a mighty God, and He stood with us every second we were there, and He brought us home."
"I want you to continue to pray for Charisa and Laura because He's going to bring them home too," she said.
Group leader Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter are still being questioned by a judge in Haiti for trying to take 33 Haitian children to the Dominican Republic without adoption certificates.
The two said they believe God will reveal truth through the Haitian justice system.

Beginning on Sunday, Jan. 12, and running through Friday the 17th, 55 Ann Arbor restaurants will offer special fixed price menus for Ann Arbor Restaurant Week, a twice-yearly event organized by the Main Street Area Association.
Lunches are priced at 15 dollars per person, with 26 of the 41 restaurants open for lunch offering two-for-one lunch pricing. A three-course dinner can be had for 28 dollars, with 25 of the participating restaurants offering two-for-one pricing at dinner.
"I think it's a great opportunity for people who haven't tried their menus," said Main Street Area Association Executive Director Maura Thomson. "The Lunch Room is also doing a special brunch on Sunday."
Mani Osteria and Amadeus are also both offering a $15 per person Sunday brunch.
Other highlights for Thomson include Mediterrano, Neopapalis and Seva.
"Mediterrano has a visiting chef in from Greece, so their menu is all Greek," said Thomson. "Neopapalis is offering a really good deal, with both two-for-one and three-for-one pricing, and this is Seva's last Restaurant Week in downtown Ann Arbor. They will be closing shortly to move to their new location in Westgate Shopping Center."
Thomson has been organizing Ann Arbor's Restaurant Week since it first launched in 2009. She says that the winter event is much busier than the summer Restaurant Week.
"Winter is more successful. Hands down," said Thomson. "I think it's because – and I am sure the students are part of it – but June in Ann Arbor, there is so much going on. We are attending graduations, concerts, and other events. People don't have as much free time on their hands."
Thomson has three important tips for people planning to dine out for Restaurant Week:
1. Make reservations early. A quick check of restaurant reservation site OpenTable.com shows that several restaurants, namely Logan, Pacific Rim, and Aventura, are filling up very quickly. Thomson said that a few restaurants that don't normally take reservations change the policy during Restaurant Week, so it's worth a call to the restaurant to check.
2. Call the restaurants directly to check hours. Occasionally a restaurant that would typically be closed on a Monday will extend hours during Ann Arbor Restaurant Week. Always call ahead.
3. Don't forget to tip well. Thomson wants to remind diners that although there are deals to be had during this event, it's important to remember that staff is working harder than ever, so "please remember to tip generously."
A full list of participating restaurants, with links to each restaurant's Restaurant Week menu, can be found on the Ann Arbor Restaurant Week website.
