A few thoughts on "Envisioning the Seen"
I continue to be embroiled in discussions, in the newsroom, via email and out in the community, with people who want to talk about "Envisioning the Seen," the experiment in civic dialogue that took place Monday evening at the Pabst Theater.
It's a sign, I think, that the event, despite its flaws, is novel, gutsy and full of promise. For a lot of reasons, I decided not to write about it earlier this week, mostly because I'd be repeating myself. This event was so like the ones that came before. But I might as well commit to words what I've been saying and emailing privately. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

OK, for those of you tired of all the political discourse of late, here's two really smart guys, Eliezer Yudkowsky (Singularity Institute, Overcoming Bias) and Jaron Lanier (Berkeley, Microsoft) discussing metaphysics and intelligence.
Wow, what an intense week. Less than one hundred hours to election day. Finally. And then there is a General Conference election to think about. . .
I'm ready for another vacation, and am so thankful for the Sabbath right now.
Did you know that this new site launched on Nov. 19? That means this new incarnation of Spectrum is almost a year old!
Come Thanksgiving Day, we've got some institutional things for which to be thankful.
Check out these stats. Thus far we've had:
In preparation for church chats and Sabbath afternoon conversations on what has turned out to be a pretty hot topic in Adventism, particularly in California, here's a roundup of what's been happening.
Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter.
In the Name our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
From Inside Socal, Jason Pesick reports:
Loma Linda University normally doesn't get involved in political issues or elections. As an institution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, it doesn't want to blur the lines separating church and state.
Proposition 3 on the Nov. 4 ballot is an exception.
The $980 million bond measure would help improve children's hospitals in California.
From the North Pacific Union Conference:
(Update 10-28-08, see Memorial Service info below)
With deep sadness we share the news that Jere D. Patzer, North Pacific Union Conference president since 1996, passed away late Sunday evening, October 26, after a long battle with
non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He was 61.
The Kenyan Daily Nation Sunday edition visits a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Jersey City, New Jersey.
It looks like a typical storefront in a poor and black-dominated part of any large US city.
Entering the Community Services Centre of the Beth-El Seventh Day Adventist Church last Saturday afternoon, the Nation team was in for a cultural shock.

The health of our economy depends on what we do right now to create the conditions where businesses can hire and middle-class families can feel a basic measure of economic security. In the long run, our prosperity also depends on our ability to pay down the massive debt the federal government has accumulated over the past decade. Today, the President sent to the Joint Committee his plan to jumpstart economic growth and job creation now – and to lay the foundation for it continue for years to come.
The President's Plan for Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction lives up to a simple idea: as a Nation, we can live within our means while still making the investments we need to prosper – from a jobs bill that is needed right now to long-term investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure. It follows a balanced approach: asking everyone to do their part, so no one has to bear all the burden. And it says that everyone – including millionaires and billionaires – has to pay their fair share. Overall, it pays for the President's jobs bill and produces net savings of more than $3 trillion over the next decade, on top of the roughly $1 trillion in spending cuts that the President already signed into law in the Budget Control Act – for a total savings of more than $4 trillion over the next decade. This would bring the country to a place, by 2017, where current spending is no longer adding to our debt, debt is falling as a share of the economy, and deficits are at a sustainable level.
- Tax cuts to help businesses hire and grow
- Cutting the payroll tax in half on the first $5 million in payroll, targeting the benefit to the 98 percent of firms with payroll below this threshold.
- A complete payroll tax holiday for added workers or increased wages up to $50 million
- Extending 100 percent expensing into 2012
- Reforms and regulatory reductions to help entrepreneurs and small businesses access capital
- Putting workers back on the job while rebuilding and modernizing America
- A "Returning Heroes" hiring tax credit for veterans
- Preventing up to 280,000 teacher layoffs, while keeping cops and firefighters on the job
- Immediate investments in infrastructure, school buildings, and neighborhoods as well as a bipartisan National Infrastructure Bank
- Pathways back to work for Americans looking for jobs
- The most innovative reform to the unemployment insurance program in 40 years and extension of emergency unemployment insurance preventing 6 million Americans looking for work from losing benefits
- A $4,000 tax credit to employers for hiring the long-term unemployed
- Prohibiting employers from discriminating against unemployed workers when hiring
- Expanding job opportunities for low-income youth and adults
- Tax relief for every American worker and family
- Cutting payroll taxes in half for 160 million workers next year
- Allowing more Americans to refinance their mortgages
- Fully paid for as part of the President's long-term deficit reduction plan
- The plan produces approximately $4.4 trillion in deficit reduction net the cost of the American Jobs Act.
- $1.2 trillion from the discretionary cuts enacted in the Budget Control Act.
- $580 billion in cuts and reforms to a wide range of mandatory programs;
- $1.1 trillion from the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan and transition from a military to a civilian-led mission in Iraq
- $1.5 trillion from tax reform
- $430 billion in additional interest savings
- To spur economic growth and job creation, the plan includes one-time investment and relief in the American Jobs Act. That adds to the deficit in 2012 but is fully paid for over 10 years, and deficit reduction phases in starting in 2013, as the economy grows stronger.
- Deficit reduction is achieved in a balanced approach, with a spending cut to revenue ratio for the entire plan (including discretionary cuts) of 2 to 1.
Deficits and Debt
- The Joint Committee plan significantly reduces deficits and puts the country on a fiscally sustainable path by 2017.
- The deficit is projected to fall to 2.3 percent of GDP in 2021. By comparison, if we did nothing, the deficit would be 5.5 percent of GDP in 2021.
- Reaches "primary balance"— where our current spending is no longer adding to our debt — in 2017. At that point, current spending is no longer adding to our debt, debt is falling as a share of the economy, and deficits are at a sustainable level.
- The President's plan would reduce the national debt as a share of economy
- Stable or falling debt as a share of the economy is a key metric of fiscal sustainability.
- If we did nothing, the national debt would rise to 90.7 percent of GDP in 2021. By contrast, under the President's plan, the national debt would fall to 73.0 percent of GDP in 2021 — or an improvement of almost 18 percentage points.
Health Savings
- The plan includes $320 billion in health savings that build on the Affordable Care Act to strengthen Medicare and Medicaid by reducing wasteful spending and erroneous payments, and supporting reforms that boost the quality of care. It accomplishes this in a way that does not shift significant risks onto the individuals they serve; slash benefits; or undermine the fundamental compact they represent to our Nation's seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families.
- The plan includes $248 billion in savings from Medicare.
- Within this total, 90 percent of the savings, or $224 billion, comes from reducing overpayments in Medicare.
- Any savings that affect beneficiaries do not begin until 2017.
- The plan does not propose to change the eligibility age for Medicare benefits.
- Other health and Medicaid savings amount to $72 billion.
- Because of the structural nature of these reforms, health savings grow to over $1 trillion in the second decade.
- The President will veto any bill that takes one dime from the Medicare benefits seniors rely on without asking the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to pay their fair share.
Other Mandatory
- The plan includes $250 billion in savings from other mandatory programs.
- Included within these savings are:
- $33 billion in savings from agriculture subsidies, payments, and programs
- $42.5 billion in reforms to Federal employee benefit programs, including programs for civilian employees and military personnel.
- $4.1 billion from the disposal of unused government assets.
- $92.2 billion from restructuring government operations and reducing government liabilities.
- $77.6 billion from improving Federal program management and reducing waste and abuse.
- The President calls on the Committee to undertake comprehensive tax reform, and lays out five principles for it to follow: 1) lower tax rates; 2) cut wasteful loopholes and tax breaks; 3) reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion; 4) boost job creation and growth; and 5) comport with the "Buffett Rule" that people making more than $1 million a year should not pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than middle-class families pay.
- Tax reform should draw on the specific proposals the President has put forward, together with elimination of additional inefficient tax breaks. If the Joint Committee is unable to undertake comprehensive tax reform, the President believes the discrete measures he has proposed should be enacted on a standalone basis. Their enactment as a standalone package still would significantly improve the country's fiscal standing, represent an important step toward more fundamentally transforming our tax code, and serve as a strong foundation for economic growth and job creation.
- To advance this debate, the President is offering a detailed set of specific tax loophole closers and measures to broaden the tax base that, together with the expiration of the high-income tax cuts, would be more than sufficient to hit the $1.5 trillion target. These include:
- Allowing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for upper income earners to expire ($866 billion)
- Limiting deductions and exclusions for those making more than $250,000 a year ($410 billion)
- Closing loopholes and eliminating special interest tax breaks (approximately $300 billion)
To create more jobs now, President Obama is sending Congress the American Jobs Act – a proposal of bipartisan ideas that Congress should pass right now. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working people – without adding a dime to the deficit.
Below is the fact sheet on President Obama's plan to create jobs now:
- Cuts the payroll tax in half for 98 percent of American businesses: The President's plan will cut payroll taxes in half for the first $5 million in payroll, thus targeting the benefit to the 98 percent of businesses below this threshold.
- A complete payroll tax holiday for adding workers or increasing wages: The President's plan will eliminate payroll taxes for firms that increase their payroll either by adding workers or increasing wages (the benefit is capped at $50 million in payroll increases)
- Extend 100% expensing into 2012: Continues an incentive for businesses to invest and grow.
- Reforms and streamlining regulations to help entrepreneurs and small businesses get more access to capital.
- A "Returning Heroes" tax credit for hiring veterans: Provides tax credits from $5,600 to $9,600 to encourage employers to hire unemployed veterans.
- Preventing 280,000 teachers from being laid off, while keeping cops and firefighters on the beat.
- Modernizing at least 35,000 public schools across the country, building new science labs, creating internet ready classrooms, and renovating schools across the country, in both rural and urban areas.
- Make immediate investments in infrastructure through a bipartisan National Infrastructure Bank that will modernize our roads, rails, airport, and waterways while getting hundreds of thousands of construction workers back on the job.
- A new "Project Rebuild" that will put people back to work rehabbing homes, businesses, and communities by leveraging private capital and scaling land banks and other public-private partnerships.
- Expanding access to hire speed wireless to free up the nation's spectrum.
- Making the most innovative reforms to the unemployment insurance program in 40 years: Extending unemployment insurance will prevent 5 million Americans looking for work from losing their benefits. This plan also includes innovative work based reforms to keep people in the work force and gives states more flexibility to support job seekers by using the funds for:
- Work Sharing: UI for workers whose employers choose work-sharing over layoffs.
- A new "Bridge to Work" program: The plan builds on and improves innovative state programs where people who are displaced take temporary, voluntary work or puruse new on the job training.
- Innovative entrepreneurship and wage insurance programs: Empowering states to implement wage insurance to help gets older Americans back into the workforce and creating programs that make it easier for unemployed workers to start their own business.
- A $4,000 tax credit for employers who hire long-term unemployed workers.
- Stops employers from discriminating against unemployed workers when hiring.
- Expanding job opportunities for low-income young people and adults through a fund that successfully approaches subsidized employment, innovative training programs, and summer/year round jobs for young people.
- Cuts payroll taxes in half for 160 million workers next year. The President's plan extends tax cuts that were enacted last year. These cuts provide the average American family with a $1,500 tax cut without negatively impacting the Social Security Trust Fund.
- Allows more Americans to refinance their mortgages at today's historically low rates near 4 percent interest. This could put more than $2,000 a year back in the pockets of the average family.
The President will ensure the American Jobs Act is fully paid for by calling on the Joint Committee to come up with additional cuts to pay for the Act and still meet their deficit target. In the coming days, the President will release a detailed plan that lay out a plan for paying for the American Jobs Act while still meeting the President's broader goal of stabilizing the debt as a share of the economy.
Governor O'Malley spars with Greta Van Susteren on the economy. The Governor advocates for a balanced approach that creates jobs.

You know what Lars? I just saw you on Fox news they were talking about you. I think it's great that you are Stanford educated and that you are an independent musician. Me personally, I think rap and hip hop are forms of music that need to be sh*tcanned. I think for a guy that makes 60% of your money from merchandising you are a Goddamn vampire and have some nerve doing "fundraisers" to get money to make your next album, why not use part of the 60% of the money raised from merchandising? I hope the IRS gets their claws into you, You are a bloodsucker! Jun 06

Texas Department of Transportation crews and / or contractors will be working in the following locations through Tuesday:
Lane Closures
On Interstate 27: expect lane closures between 45th Avenue and Western Street;
On Loop 335 (Lakeside Drive), expect lane closures between U.S. 287 and SH 136 (northeast quadrant);
On Interstate 40: the roadway is narrowed to two lanes in each direction at Grand Street;
On I-40: the eastbound exit ramp to downtown is closed. Detour is to Ross/Osage, turn around, take westbound I-40 to the downtown exit ramp;
On I-40: the eastbound entrance ramp from Washington Street is closed;
On I-27: the southbound exit ramp to I-40 eastbound will be closed. Detour is to I-40 westbound, exit at Crockett Street, use turnaround to I-40 eastbound; and
On I-40: the westbound exit ramp to I-27 southbound will be closed. Detour is the downtown exit ramp to 11th Avenue and turn around.
Information about TxDOT also is available through the department's Web sitewww.dot.state.tx.us
A $33 million project to widen I-40 through the I-27 interchange is continuing.
The project includes adding two additional travel lanes on I-40, replacing the bridges over Harrison/Tyler streets and over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railyard, and upgrading the interchange to current design standards.
The I-40/I-27 interchange was first completed in 1966. The Harrison/Tyler streets bridges and the railroad overpasses are the original structures and will be replaced.

How Did Dogs 'Saved From Euthanasia' End Up Dead?
Authorities reportedly made a gut-wrenching discovery this month in a barn near Clarksville, Tennessee, where a "no-kill" animal "rescue" called RRR Service Dogs kept dogs it had "saved" from shelters: 37 bags filled with dead dogs, their remains so badly decomposed that it was impossible to determine the cause of their deaths or even how many bodies were in the bags. According to Sheriff's Sergeant Sean Ryan, "They were so far gone, you couldn't make heads or tails of it. It was horrible."
Nearly 40 live dogs were also found in the barn, locked in stalls or cages and covered with waste, many of them with no food or water. Some dogs were emaciated, and many didn't even have room to stand up or turn around. Authorities also found the rotting remains of four puppies who were allegedly locked in cages and left to starve to death at a home vacated by RRR Service Dogs' operator.
Here we go again. Not a week goes by—and sometimes not even a day—without a media report of yet another example of a disturbing nationwide epidemic: In communities where shelters and public officials are pressured to end euthanasia at all costs, animals are often simply handed out the door to anyone who will take them—including hoarders, psychopaths, negligent owners, and people who place the animals in other abusive situations. Every week, we hear about animals found starved to death or otherwise fatally neglected at "rescues" and "fosters" that claim to "save" animals from euthanasia.
For example, the operator of Gigi's Rescue in Florida was recently arrested for allegedly hoarding more than 200 dogs and cats in deplorable conditions inside a small warehouse. Investigators reported that most of the animals had been obtained from other private "rescue agencies," many of which had received dogs from Miami-Dade County Animal Services.
Wishful thinking and shuffling cats and dogs around from pillar to post—or frying pan to fire—won't solve the animal-homelessness crisis. Such approaches instead put animals in danger of dying from neglect and cruelty at unregulated and difficult-to-monitor "rescues" and foster homes. Ending euthanasia at animal shelters can't be humanely or sustainably achieved by pushing animals out the back door to anyone who will take them while countless animals continue to stream through the front door. The way to truly become a "no-kill" community is to work at the roots of the problem by first becoming a "no-birth" one through breeding bans and mandatory spay-and-neuter laws.
Commenting is closed.
PETA's compassionate approach to this heartbreaking problem is why I donate to PETA every month and why I refuse to donate to organizations who publicly berate PETA for not being on the "no kill" bandwagon. Thank you, thank you, folks at PETA, for doing the hard work for animals everywhere. You have good hearts. I'm proud to be associated with PETA and will continue to help both wild and domestic animals in my community in any way I can, responding to rescue emails and looking to PETA for wisdom and advice.
I'm just disgusted to hear all of the animal abuse both in no-kill shelters and regular shelters. What is wrong with people in this country. Have they completed lost their sense of decency? I hope when they leave this earth plane they go to H _ _ _!
What a disgusting game. Thank you for raising awareness of this. A few no-kill shelters are in our area and I've heard someone talk about the same situation that was shown on camera described. This is truly horrifying to me…
At last someone who is living in the real world of animal abuse, I can not believe the number of people who ..Like.. The No Kill Movement….they post an absolute load of rubbish, time people started to think with their brain & stop puppy mills, back yard breeding, & make it law for all dogs & cats to be de sexed, unless there is a good reason. Thank you Ingrid for speaking the truth, but I am not sure everyone will listen …… until they are continually
finding animals & no one is able to take them in cos they are full.
disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LBJ Has Been Taken By the Trafficpocalypse
It's a shame, really, that Dallas never got to know what 635 is like without massive amounts of construction and with those groundbreaking TEXpress lanes fully operational. Alas, the freeway has fallen, overtaken by a traffic phenomenon completely unknown to science.
NBC 5 producer Ashley Lowell Doussard is tweeting photos of the freeway's final moments:

Clearly, though, there are larger forces at work here than a single erratic driver. Central will be the next to go, then Stemmons. Abandoned cars will litter the freeways. Civilization as we know it will grind to a halt. Only the bicyclists will survive. Behold, the future:

Deeplinks Blog posts about Social Networks
The decision faced by dictators to shut off the Internet (and risk economic loss) or keep their citizens online (and risk an Internet-assisted revolt) has been referred to by some as the "dictator's dilemma." In the case of Sudan, where anti-austerity protests have been raging for five days and calls to overthrow the regime have been reported, the dictator's decision is made a bit easier by the fact that only about one in ten citizens has access to the Internet.1

China: Twitter-Clone Weibo Introduces a Points System for Punishing Content Violations
Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo introduced new user conditions on Monday under which users will be deducted "points" for violating its content policy. Users will be suspended from the website once they run out of points. Rules that prohibit advocating protests or "spreading rumors" have always been a part of overall Chinese internet policy, but the points system is an innovation.
We took a stand for Twitter users Wednesday, and in an amicus brief (PDF) urged a New York City judge to reconsider his decision authorizing a broad subpoena to Twitter that seriously threatens the First Amendment and privacy rights of everyone on the Internet.
A New York judge's broad opinion, ordering Twitter to comply with a subpoena (PDF) and turn over account information about one of its users arrested for disorderly conduct in connection with an Occupy Wall Street protest, is worse the deeper you dig into it.
In our inaugural "Who Has Your Back" campaign, we applauded Twitter for being one of the rare technology companies to fight for and defend their users' rights in courts. We're happy to see that they're continuing to stand up to protect the free speech and privacy rights of one of their users.

Two robbers bound two store clerks and shot at another employee Monday during a daylight robbery of an Amarillo market, police said.
The pair got away from La Mini Cocina, 1213 S.W. Third Ave., in an employee's truck. No arrests had been made early Monday evening.
Police say two men, roughly 18 to 19 years old, entered the store just before 8:30 a.m. One of them pulled out a black, long-barreled revolver and said he wanted money.
The man walked around the counter and grabbed an undisclosed amount of money from the store's till. He demanded more money and went for a purse belonging to a female clerk.
He hit the woman several times and pushed her to the ground, police say. She and another female employee in the store were bound by duct tape.
Police say the robbers shut all the blinds in the store, closed the main door to the business and turned its "closed" sign toward the exterior. At some point, a male employee pulled up to the business. He was met outside by the two robbers and a fight erupted.
Police said one of the robbers fired a shot at the employee but missed. Both robbers hopped into a red 1998 Ford F-250 extended-cab pickup belonging to one of the store's workers. The license plate is 28TZD5.
Police say one of the robbers is black, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and about 150 pounds. He wore a black T-shirt, a black bandana and prescription glasses.
The other robber was black, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed 160. He was wearing a white and black plaid shirt with T-shirt underneath, blue jean shorts and tennis shoes. He had short hair.

Proof of Heaven
A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
Eben Alexander, M.D.
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Near-death experiences, or NDEs, are controversial. Thousands of people have had them, but many in the scientific community have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those people.
A highly trained neurosurgeon who had operated on thousands of brains in the course of his career, Alexander knew that what people of faith call the "soul" is really a product of brain chemistry. NDEs, he would have been the first to explain, might feel real to the people having them, but in truth they are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.
Then came the day when Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by an extremely rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human— shut down completely. For seven days Alexander lay in a hospital bed in a deep coma. Then, as his doctors weighed the possibility of stopping treatment, Alexander's eyes popped open. He had come back.
Alexander's recovery is by all accounts a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.
This story sounds like the wild and wonderful imaginings of a skilled fantasy writer. But it is not fantasy. Before Alexander underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. That difficulty with belief created an empty space that no professional triumph could erase. Today he is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.
This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.
Customer Reviews
Disappointed by Assumptions
First let me say that as a catholic I really wanted to believe that Dr. Alexander had a near-death experience and visited God in Heaven. I also believe that as a scientist and physician he adds credibility to his experience.
My issues with his account and his book, however, are the following:
(1) As an emergency physician at a very large academic teaching hospital and medical school, I've treated hundreds of cardiac arrest patients and have, unfortunately, declared many more people dead who arrived in this state than I've saved (as every EM physician would attest). And while I respect Dr. Alexander as an accomplished neurosurgeon, nowhere in his book did he discuss any scientific evidence that his neocortical function was shut down, other than being in a comatose state and having a brain soaking in pus. Was an EEG performed that showed no brainwave activity? I assume that one was (performed) because without it one could easily argue that he had at least some residual cortical activity that could be generating a hallucinogenic-like state. As someone who has removed patients from life support who had neither cortical or brainstem function, I kept waiting to hear which tests had been done to confirm no cortical function. I truly hope that an EEG was performed because I really do want to believe that his experience was one outside the realm of consciousness associated with the brain.
(2) Dr. Alexander's account of heaven, while very beautiful and reassuring, was also somewhat bizarre. While it is what it is, his description of Heaven sounded like someone undergoing an endorphin-like experience. In fact his description of the Realm of the Earthworm's Eye View completely lost me and really made me believe that this was a dream or hallucination. And his description of being able to control his movement from this realm to the dark core by simply focusing on the visible floating melody made me more convinced that this experience originated from the brain. It was if he could control what part of his experience he was experiencing. Other NDE accounts seem to corroborate each other at least somewhat. None seemed so wildly bizzare and almost fantasy-like as Dr Alexander's. The whole account of being a speck on a butterfly's wing really sounded like a story from someone experiencing a hallucination. Again, I am not trying to be critical because I do believe that Dr. Alexander believes he experienced what he experienced. But while I continued to read his description I couldn't overcome the fact that he never explained (at least to my satisfaction) why he believed he had no cortical function AT ALL.
(3) Maybe I'm simply inpatient but while I was reading the book I kept thinking "Get on with it!" While there were some interesting human and family stories weaved throughout the book, there was simply too much filler and not enough substance. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did.
Instead of spending time on the description of the actual experience, there was too much emphasis put on his interpretation of the experience and the family's response to his illness. I would have rather read more about the lessons that he learned from the experience and how it has impacted and changed his life.
So finally, I would have to say that overall I give this book 2 stars out of 5. I do think that it is a heartfelt account of a NDE and like I said I respect Dr. Alexander and all that he went through. As a catholic I believe in heaven. I just wish his book made my faith even stronger.
Words can't describe the power of this book
This book is about love. Unconditional and selfless love for oneself, and for every living thing we encounter throughout our life.
It's well written, well researched, and eloquently crafted. Be careful this book may change your life forever.
I kept reading this book because I kept hoping the author would give us more vivid details about his experiences in Heaven but instead he went on and on about his family and how skeptical he was beforehand and how important it was to him to get his story out. What story? Where are the details of Heaven? Less family, more Proof!

A memorial celebration will be Saturday, July 26, for Howard E. Blake, 92, of Media, a former Temple University professor who died June 15 of renal failure at White Horse Village in Newtown Square.
The event is planned for 3 p.m. at Tyler Arboretum, in Media. Burial is private.
Born in 1922 in rural Fairfield, N.C., Dr. Blake was the son of farmers. "No one in my family - in fact, no one in Fairfield - had ever gone to college," he told his family. "I got a ride there on a truck that was delivering chickens."
At Atlantic Christian College, now Barton College, in Wilson, N.C., he studied to become a classroom teacher and served as student body president. While there he met Betty Miller. They married and were together until her death in 2009.

TravelPod Member ReviewsEstero Beach Resort Ensenada
I guess if you like the resort type setting it would be fine, but after staying in so many beautiful old hotels dripping with charisma, to welcoming B & B's, this place just left us a little flat. Lots of (noisy 'til 10pm) people, big impersonal 'cookie cutter' room. I guess we're just spoiled by all our other lodgings.

Historical Traveler Reviews Estero Beach Resort Ensenada
Don't Go
I used to love Estero Beach Resort - my dad first took me there years ago, and I've taken my own kids. We used to recommend Estero. But the last 3 years have proven that the management is lacking - lost reservations, forcing us to "bunk" with other couples, despite repeated confirmations, failures to reserve promised rooms / areas of suites, etc. I planned my birthday with one whole floor rented out, and still got poor service / mixed up rooms. The guests that come now since the pool was put in are not respectful, and loud arguments, fireworks, and all night parties are now commonplace. There is a lack of security, as house phones are located outside at the ends of the halls, and often, no one picks up when you dial "o". If you don't mind getting no sleep, fine - the bay is still beautiful and the little restaurant is great, but...we liked it better when mostly retirees went, but it's all changed now.
Good at first.....
My husband and I stayed at the Estero Beach Resort, once in Spring 1999 and the last time in Fall 2002 - unfortunately we will never return (and we travel alot!). This is an older property, but it has it's own unique and upbeat charm. There are no phones in the rooms, no air conditioning and the rooms could use a little remodeling....which goes for the age of the property as I said before, but they are nice nonetheless!! We enjoyed the somewhat resort feel of the property, the dining and bar areas (which were nice and overlooking the ocean). The property is situated on a very nice area of Ensenada which gives it a private feel and mood. We did like this place, but the problems listed below made too much of an impact on us!!The problems, both times, began at around midnight, with FIREWORKS!!! Come the stroke of midnight, KA-BOOM which goes on and on. Needless to say forget going to sleep!!! After reading the other reviews, it dosen't appear that anyone else had this happen, but it happened both times for us. The hotel staff seems to allow this and will do nothing to deter this problem. I made numerous walks to the hotel office to talk to the staff (couldn't call due to no phones in the rooms), but to no avail. The last few days we were there, we met a retired couple who had moved down to the Estero Beach area (as there are permanent residents in mobliehomes)....they told us that the fireworks are a nightly occurance. So I guess it just depends on your tolerance???Another huge issue (Fall 2003) was with our reservations. By the time all was said and done, 3 different hotel staff members had become involved with the securing of our reservations.....to the extent, that they had incorrectly counted the number of days which we had originally paid for...the end result was one night, when we arrived back at our hotel room, our room was locked and we were locked out, with all of our belongings inside!!! The manager, later on apologized and let us back in our room. As it turned out, this had been the error of the staff (not us) and the manager gave us some complimentary dinner passes. We thanked him, but knew that this was an issue that would never sit lightly with us!! In retrospect, the problem is that the staff members are not trained as professionals and are not equipped to deal with a resort of this nature. Moral of the story: Deal with one person in reservations!!I could not comment on the pool areas, as we did not use it, but it looked very nice and I believe had a swim up bar too!! Ensenada is not too far away and it takes a little navation to finally get to the hotel, which is not a problem. All in all, we were hoping to have a better time the second time around, thinking that the problems from 1999 were a one time thing, but to our dismay, it came back to haunt us in 2002. There was good and there was was bad, and each person has to determine what works for them. There was much we liked about Estero Beach and there were things that did not.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldnt dare go anywhere else. All of the other negitive posts are just that-- NEGATIVE for one reason or another. I have been going there for 22 years and will continue to go there until the walls crumble down. The stress of the city leaves you immediatly when you look out at the Estero and take a deep breath. The food is great and reasonable and the hotel is safe and secure. Please take advantage of this place if you want to relax. My favorite month there is October because hardly anyone is there. You can have the place to your self. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great for the whole family
We have stayed at Estero Beach Resort frequently since the mid 70's. I can honestly say we have never had a negative experience there.
The cottages are outstanding for family's with children, some even have kitchenettes. and the Mayan Suites (they all have beach views from your own patio terrace) are very romantic for a great get away.
The pool is beautiful, and the restaurant (especially the outside patio when the bands are playing) is great. They also have a really fun nightclub.
The employees are courtious, helpful and friendly.
Between the restaurant, nightclub, golf, beach equipment rentals, volleyball, tennis, fishing and the great historical artifacts museum, you really don't need to leave the resort at all.
Another great thing is that if you plan on going to Ensenada or La Bufidora, you can call for a taxi to take you there and back again for a minimal price.
You don't want to drink and drive in Mexico, you go straight to JAIL.
Pay for the taxi and have a great time :)
Estero Beach Resort....awesome!
We stayed at the Estero Beach resort during the Baja 300...what a great place! The room was very large and so was the bathroom area.Very clean..and the view of the ocean and the pool area was well worth the money.Pool is nicely designed...the snack bar and cocktails were very reasonable and good.The restaurant is beachfront with tastey food,good service,and a great band that played....excellent ambience.The prices were surprizingly low...steaks are grilled in an outdoor area and reasonably priced with all the trimings including salad. We cant wait to return!!!
Enjoyed Estero Beach
About 5 families went to Estero Beach some of us were in motorhomes the others statyed at the hotel. The RV park was excellent. The lots have grass and a beautiful view and they even have a playground for the kids. The hotel accomodations were great only we didn't book early enough to get a view. We all had a great time and had plenty to do.
Hanging out at the beach area, or the pool or just sitting around the RV in the evening, shopping, bicycle riding, jet skis, bannana boat, fishing, eating at the restaurant etc. Estero Beach is a great place to stay we will all be back next year.
Beware of Ensenada Estero Beach Resort
We stayed at Estero Beach Resort on July 31-August 1st, 2003. It was a terrible experience. We got 3 suites with a balconey each and ocean view windows. The rooms were spacious. They had no air conditioning in the rooms nor cielings fans. We rented rooms 201, 202, and 203. My co-worker had suite 210. That one was o.k. because for 20.00 dollars more they had a cieling fan in their suite. The first night was sooo humid and hot and there was no breeze. In order for us to go to sleep we had to wet a towel and wrapped it on our heads and around our face.
The next day I complained to the housekeeper and she said that they had fans available upon request at housekeeping. I am sorry that I have not learned to read minds yet. They should have a little card or note somewhere in the rooms that give out this information. We had a miserable night. The rooms were not cheap either. The first night was $100.00 dollars plus $10.00 for each person for I don't know what and plus taxes. It came out to about $122.00 per that one night. The next night it was 120.00 dollars plus the $10.00 dollars per person plus taxes. They have no phones in the rooms. They have a phone outside and it doesn't work. You have to go downstairs were there is a phone that does work. No irons, hair blow dryers or small electrical clock by your bed. They have all that in the cheapest hotel in the U.S.A. We will never stay at Estero Beach Resort again. The food was good at the restaurant but very expensive. The first dinner there was $245.00 dollars and we paid with $300.00 and never got our change back. The gardens were beautiful. The furniture is old but clean. The beds are not comfortable. The light bulbs do not work. They only have one working in each room. Beware! Maybe, they do that on purpose. They have wall heaters in the rooms but they make a rattling noise. Luckily, we did not need them because it is Summer. The pool is nice but has a rough bottom. The whole family had cuts ...several cuts on their feet.
Do not stay there. You will live to regret it.
Best place in Ensenada
We have been staying at Estero for 15+ years (2 to 5 times a year). We return so often because it is so great, and we have turned many friends and family onto this place. The staff is extremely gracious and helpful. It is a secluded place, away from the main city, which means a bit of a drive to shopping and city attractions, but also means privacy, serenity and quiet, and security. There is a full-time guard and the entire place is gated or on the waterfront. Parking is guarded all night long and parking is close to all rooms. You can feel safe taking a midnight stroll along the boardwalk... by yourself. It is positioned on a little bay/inlet. And when the tide goes out, the entire inlet empties out and you can walk around in the tidal pools and collect/view sea creatures and shells, sand dollars and starfish, baby fish and crabs, sea slugs and snails and anything else that lives in there. You can walk about a half mile onto the tidal flats where just a few hours ago there was water. It's pretty neat. You can also snorkel or scuba dive in the bay, take out your boat or jet ski or swim. At night, there are sometimes phosphorescent algae to make the little fish glow as they swim around. There is a great pool with a swim up bar that is open in the warmer months. For the rest of the year, there is a bar next to the restaurant where you throw a few back and watch a game or just watch people walk by or what the ocean. The restaurant has pretty good food. The neu isn't that expansive for lunch and dinner, but they have a great breakfast menu. It's all reasonably priced, and there is nothing more expensive than any 2nd rate steak house in the states (for dinner). The most expensive thing is about $17; unless you want a steak & shrimp and shark and.. combo. At breakfast they bring out baskets of rolls and pastries. Beware! You eat it, you pay for it! But they are only $0.25 or $.50 a piece, so enjoy some of each. They have all kinds of great mexican specialties for breakfast,ggs, pancakes (excellent pancakes by the way), french toast, cold cereal et al. And on most Sunday mornings there is a huge breakfast buffet with all the fixings! There is no room service (who needs it? all rooms are less than 1/2 a block from the restaurant.). You can walk downin the morning and buy a pot of coffee for your room (they give you a little tray with cream and sugar). We usually bring our own coffee pot and coffee with us (caffeine addicts). You can also take rolls up to your room. You can also get any of the food to-go. If you drive outside of the resort, within 5 minutes you should find any number of yummy taco stands where you can get authentic road-side tacos. Try 5 tacos for $1 on for size! And don't let anyone tell you unsafe they are. As long as the meat is constantly on that firey spit, it's perfectly safe... how can it not be when it's at 200* or more all the time. Each room gets fresh bottled water delivered each day or upon request (phone down the hall). The restaraunt only serves safe drinking water as well. Each room has a little patio with chairs so you can relax outdors without going anywhere. You can grab a drink from the bar and take it anywhere on site that you wish. Walk back to your room, get one at the pool, whatever! We usually head to the local supermarket (Gigante) and buy a bottle of Rum, Kaluha, some soda water, some soda's, and make our own drinks all day. If you're not into sitting in the hot tub or pool and drinking your day away in a pleasant cloud; you can horseback ride on the beach (in cases Burro-Ride), make sand castles or go fishing. You can watch people, birds, fish, sea creatures, waves, clouds or nothing at all. Reading a book by the pool or on the beach is a favorite of mine. Though not my cup of tea, you can shop in a small expensive (no, I didn't mean inexpensive) shop/museum on premises. Everything from hand blown glass to jewelery and other trinkets. There is small shop where you can get your Estero T-shirt and that Aspririn yhap stick, or a soda to rehydrate. (Give it up, you're on vacation.) All in al, this place is excellent, and it just keeps getting better. You are treated like family from the moment you arrive. You can relax Jimmy Buffet style, party or nature walk. Or you can use it as a staging point for your busy sight-seeing schedule (la bufadora is close by). For all it's little quirks, the place is excellent. But please don't go there, because you might steal my reservation spot!
Great place, but....
I've stayed at Estero Beach Hotel 5 or 6 times. I love the location, the theme, the decor.
However, during our last stay, summer of 2002, the shower drain was clogged, the water was cold, and the room temperature was too low. My wife and two children were less than happy.
We were offered another room, but unlike the first one, this room had no kitchen, and we were prepared to cook. We requested to use both rooms so we could have hot water and a kitchen; but, even though vacancy was less that 50%, the request was denied.
Besides, one of the main attractions of the place to us, the swimming pool, has had problems with the water heaters during our last few stays. It is not pleasant to swim in cold water.
Anyone thinking about staying at this beautiful resort, should probably check ahead of time on the condition of water and room heaters.
We used to go on different times of theyear; but we have not gathered the courage to return since our last experience.
Estero review
The resort is set on the coast, with a couple of small beaches within walking distance. The rooms are very spacious and have great views of the ocean. There are no phones in the rooms, but there are community phones at the ends of the halls to call the front desk, housekeeping, etc. The room we were in had a bathroom with two sinks and a shower. There's a restaurant, swimming pool with swim-up bar, and a small museum on the resort. There is a "boardwalk" along the waterfront where locals and tourists go to the beach or just enjoy the ocean. It's about 7 miles from the downtown, and costs about $15 to get there by taxi one way. The resort is somewhat isolated from the city, so you are either stuck eating at the restaurant or cooking your own food (some people had BBQ's on their patios). There were a lot of families there.

We knew it was possible because we put 2 embryos back through IVF but got an additional surprise when we found out we were actually having triplets.
wow, triplets! does that mean two of them are identical then?
I had a strong suspicion that it was twins because I was so incredibly sick and tired all the time. So much worse than my other pregnancies, so I figures something was up.

GARDEN CITY, Kan. - High Plains Public Radio soon will begin construction of a radio tower about 25 miles southwest of Perryton, Texas, that will bring public radio to about 106,000 people in Carson, Gray, Hansford, Hemphill, Hutchinson, Lipscomb, Roberts and Ochiltree counties in Texas.
The Top O' Texas Public Radio Project on Dec. 19 received authorization from the Federal Communications Commission to start construction on the 1,000-foot tower, according to Skip Mancini, project coordinator.
She said the officials then filed for a minor modification to the permit to take advantage of a free land site by moving the site a few miles west. The free land enabled High Plains Public Radio, based in Garden City, to step up from an 800-foot tower to a 1,000-foot tower.
Mancini said the construction budget for the project is $712,000, and that includes the first year of operation.
Final approval is expected within 90 days, Mancini said, with construction to start immediately after approval.
Mancini said that in January, a request was made to the FCC for the call letters KTOT to be assigned to the station, and that officials recently learned the FCC has officially assigned KTOT to the station.
The frequency for the nonprofit FM station has already been authorized at 89.5 by the FCC.
"I'm really pleased about this because many of our hard-working committee folks had already started referring to the project as KTOT," Mancini said. "I think it will be a very recognizable call sign that quickly lets listeners know the area we will be serving."
KTOT will broadcast 24 hours a day.
Mancini said High Plains Public Radio is a full member of National Public Radio and carries award-winning news and entertainment programs such as "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition" and "Prairie Home Companion."
She said the station also carries programs produced from Garden City, including the popular music program "Western Swing and Other Things," a bird-watching show and a gardening show.
"We want to have regional programming," Mancini said. "There will definitely be programs from the Texas Panhandle."
High Plains Public Radio serves western Kansas, portions of southeast Colorado, the Oklahoma Panhandle and Amarillo, according to Mancini.

Matthysse: Garcia Looked Worried, Told Him I'm Coming
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Mandatory junior welterweight contender Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32KOs) believes WBC/WBA champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) looked worried after witnessing the three round demolition of Lamont Peterson on Saturday night at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Golden Boy Promotions is trying to make that anticipated fight for September 7th.
"It feels very good [to have Garcia watch that KO]. I think he looked a little bit worried. I pointed at him and told him 'I'm coming for you next,'" Matthysse said. "If he's a great champion, if he's a great fighter, then he's going to want to take the fight."

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

that cramer started
So short a large position. Rumors go away over time. Looks like it is about to break out to me.
If people are buying because of a buyout rumor, true or false, it is because they believe that the value of the company is greater than the current price, right? So, talk of a buyout is only bringing DECK to the level that it is worth, which is mid 50s - conservatively speaking. 30s is out of the question, where did you get such an absurd number?? Let's see your numbers.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
1.3B market cap is a perfect buyout candidate for VFC. I don't think Cramer started the rumor, the rumor started way before he talked about on his show.
cramer pumped it. deck is not for sale. its just cramer pumping and wishing
meanwhile deckers has NO OMG product. didn't he bash on apple for this?
deck is just the same old shoes with new marketing angles
Ummm. No! Let's take next Tuesday.

Washington Marion slips past Crowley
CROWLEY – For a while Friday, it seemed that the Crowley Gents would overcome a horrific first half and pull a victory from the jaws of defeat in their District 4-4A showdown with the Washington-Marion Charging Indians.
After all, the Gents had rallied for a pair of second-half touchdowns to erase a two-touchdown deficit and owned the momentum and a 21-20 lead with less than eight minutes to play.
But the Charging Indians, who had won just once in their five previous games, converted two critical fourth-downs in the final minutes and scored with less than four minutes to play to spoil the Gents' comeback, 28-21.
"That was one of the hardest fought games that I've been a part of since I've been here ... by both teams," said CHS coach Josh Fontenot after the loss that sent his team to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in league play. "What a game from Washington-Marion; what a game from our kids.
"But it was the same story for us; we just keep killing ourselves and it caught up with us tonight."
The mistakes were plentiful for the Gents and were there from the start. Quarterback Pate Broussard was intercepted three times in the first two frames and the Indians picked up a fumble for a scoop-and-score on a sack to put the Gents in an early hole.
"Yeah, we had some mistakes, but I'm so proud of our kids for what they did tonight," said Fontenot. "We really have a good football team and we're going to win some more games.
"But we have to clean it up. It's the same story every week - turnovers and big plays."
Penalties also played a key factor in the contest. The Gents were flagged 11 times for 81 yards, including an offsides call on fourth-and-4 during the Indians' eventual game-winning drive.
That penalty gave the Indians (2-4, 1-2 ) a first down at midfield and they moved the chains again on a fourth-and-long situation thanks to a 24-yard pass play.
Two plays later, quarterback Quaje Boutte plunged in from two yards out. He then completed the 2-point conversion run to give the Indians a 28-21 advantage with 3:32 left in the game.
"Hats off to them (Washington Marion). I mean, what a drive," said Fontenot of the Indians. "Two fourth-down conversions; they threw a pass out of the backfield ... I mean, they beat us tonight. We helped them, but they beat us.
"We gave them that first down and gave them life. It's the little things and we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot."
The Gents had one last opportunity to tie or win the game after starting their final drive at their own 35-yard line after the Indians' kickoff went out of bounds.
A big pass from Broussard to Thomas Cavell got the Gents to midfield and then on fourth-and-2 from the 42, Tre'Von Griffen burst through the line for three yards.
One play later, the Gents were tagged with an illegal substitution penalty that backed them up to the 43 and back-to-back incompletions saw them turn the ball over on downs with less than a minute remaining.
The two incompletions on the Gents' final drive looked to be catches, but officials ruled that the first hit the ground and the second — which would have been good for about 25 yards — was out of bounds.
"I thought we had a big fourth-down conversion on our last drive and then I thought we caught both of the balls that were ruled incomplete," said Fontenot. "But that's part of the game and you have got to fight through those things and keep going.
"You can't leave it out of your hands and that's what we did. We took the game out of our hands with the turnovers and everything and it came back and bit us in the behind."
The Indians got off to a fast start when they mounted a nine-play, 61-yard drive to start the game that was capped by a Deondre Lewis 4-yard touchdown run.
Boutte, who plays defensive back as well as quarterback, picked off Broussard on the Gents' ensuing dive to set up their second score of the night. He then switched sides of the ball and hit Harold Johnson on a 47-yard pass to set up his own 2-yard touchdown run.
That put the Indians up, 13-0.
The lone highlight of the first half for the Gents occurred on the ensuing kickoff when Bryston Domino fielded the kick at the 1-yard line and raced 99 yards for a touchdown.
The Gents forced a fumble three plays later and had good field position, but Chris Wiltz sacked Broussard at the CHS 40, forcing a fumble, and then picked up the ball and outran the Gents for a touchdown.
In all, the Indians racked up 171 total yards in the first half while the Gents were able to produce just 65.
The Gents answered with a 67-yard drive to start the second half and Griffin scored from four yards out to cut the lead to 20-13.
The Gents then took their only lead of the game with 7:47 remaining in the game when Chris Lewis broke loose for a 29-yard touchdown run. Griffin ran in the two-point conversion to for a 21-20 advantage.
"The way the game played out I think speaks volumes for of our kids," said Fontenot. "There were so many reasons to fold up and some many times we could have shut it down. But we came back in the second half and scored twice and took the lead."
Although disappointing, the loss was not a make-or-break game for the Gents, Fontenot said. With four games remaining, three in league play, anything can happen, he said.
"We're 4-2 and I can't be displeased with where we are," he said. "We lost the first one of a big four-game stretch so we've got some work to do. But we'll be fine."
