American automakers are criticized for failing to cater to female consumers. But you can't altogether blame the companies for wishing men did all the car buying. In a new survey by Good Housekeeping, 57 percent of women (vs. 47 percent of men) said a low purchase price is "extremely important" to them when buying a car. Women were less likely than men (28 percent vs. 38 percent) to say that "buying American" is very important to them when shopping for a car. And while automakers get a disproportionate share of their profits from oversized vehicles that are freighted with options, women are more apt than men (37 percent vs. 27 percent) to favor environmentally friendly cars.
As advertisers ready their real Super Bowl commercials for Sunday's game, some wisenheimers have cooked up hypothetical spots for the occasion. A poll by Cliff Freeman and Partners of New York sought to gauge the appeal of some celebrity endorsements we won't be seeing. Whose endorsement of a snack food would most motivate you? Oprah Winfrey (with 16 percent of the vote) edged Jennifer Lopez (14 percent), Dr. Phil (12 percent) and Martha Stewart (12 percent). Winfrey fared less well in the financial-services category, where her endorsement in a Super Bowl spot would motivate 12 percent of the viewers. Bill Gates was the leader in that sector (28 percent), trailed by Donald Trump (26 percent) and Tom Brokaw (16 percent). And now for the name you've been dreading: Paris Hilton tied with Johnny Depp as the endorser most likely to motivate a beer purchase (16 percent each), putting them ahead of Trump and 50 Cent (12 percent each).
In the job market, there are immigrants and emigrants—i.e., people who go to a new job and those mainly fleeing their old job. A campaign for an online recruitment site called CareerBuilder.com will create a rapport with would-be emigrants. In one spot, a bank teller finally can take no more of the tedium of her job. So she shouts a demand that everyone drop to the floor, as if a hold-up is in progress, then uses the confusion to vault over the counter and make her escape. We'll watch to see whether there's a sudden wave of departures from Cramer-Krasselt in Chicago, which created the clever campaign.
Is the economy in recession? Depends on who's answering the question. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll fielded in the middle of this month, 39 percent of all respondents said "yes" and 58 percent said "no." Women were more likely than men (43 percent vs. 34 percent) to believe the recession persists. The gender gap is trivial, though, compared with the racial gap: 36 percent of whites said the economy is in recession, vs. 62 percent of blacks. In a breakdown by age, respondents 61-plus were the least likely to say we're in recession (32 percent); the 31-44s were the most likely to say so (43 percent).

Philips Departs Consumer Electronics Market

(Source: techburgher.com)
It will focus on health and lighting products
Philips Electronics said it's leaving the consumer electronics market after facing consecutive losses and failing to keep up with competitors.
Philips sold its audio, video, accessories and multimedia business to Japanese company Funai Electric Co. for $201.8 million USD. It was paid in cash and a brand-license fee.
Philips was once a big player in the consumer electronics ring. It was the biggest suppliers of radios in the 1930s, the inventor of the audio cassette in the 1960s, created the first videocassette player in the 1970s and released the compact disc in the 1980s.
However, we've moved into an era of digital, streaming entertainment and Philips just can't keep up. The company has had a hard time competing with the likes of Apple and Samsung when it comes to consumer electronics like
mobile devices
and televisions.
"Our consumer lifestyle business was margin dilutive to the group, so it was time to decide to move away from consumer electronics," said Frans van Houten, Philips's CEO.
"Since we have online entertainment, people do not buy Blu-ray and DVD players anymore."
For Q4 2012, Philips' net loss was €358 million ($482 million USD) compared to a loss of €162 million ($218 million USD) in Q4 2011. The company had to take a restructuring charge of €380 million ($512 million USD) as well as a €509 million ($685 million USD) for a fine related to European television market manipulation in the 1990s.
However, Philips is doing quite well in the medical equipment and
lighting sectors
. For Q4 2012, health care order intake increased 4 percent while lighting also grew 4 percent.
Last October, Philips introduced
"Hue" LED bulbs
that offer limitless colors and can be controlled from an iPhone. A starter kit with three bulbs starts at $199.
Philips' 2013 goals include a 4 to 6 percent revenue growth and a 10 to 12 percent margin for earnings before tax, interest and amortization. By 2014, the company hopes to have a savings of €1.1 billion. At the end of 2012, Philips had €471 million saved.

Tell me you haven't heard that one before.
|Now that's ugly...
And even though we mean well when we say it, we know somewhere inside of us that what's on the outside does matter, even if we don't want it to.
Just take a look at what's popular in media: clothes (which make us look good), food (which we're trying to figure out how to eat in a healthy manner so we can look good), and exercise (which, once again, most of us do to look good).
Let's face it: looks matter. They shouldn't, but they do. And I'm definitely guilty of this. Just check out my 52 goals for the year! Sure, I want to gain weight to be healthy, but I'm motivated mostly by the fact that I'll look healthier if I gain the weight I need. I say it's just so I'll feel better, but I want to look better too.
I wonder, though, if the adage about "what's on the inside" means more than we give it credit for. I especially wondered this yesterday, because I almost did it.
I was almost ugly. Butt ugly, in fact.
I had an appointment with the eye doctor, and it happened without much fanfare. However, every time I'm with any sort of medical professional, they ask about my medical history. And unless, for some peculiar season, they've read about Thing 1, Thing 2, or Thing 3 (my trifecta of chronic illnesses) on my blog, they have no clue what they're asking about.
Now I don't mind sharing about my illnesses. In fact, I enjoy it. However, afterward, I always seem to get down on myself. "I'm not as healthy as I should be," I think. "I should've taken better care of myself when I was younger," I remind myself. The thoughts keep coming, and eventually I've dug myself a hole that I can't see out of.
Yesterday, though, I didn't do it. I didn't get ugly. And I'm stoked to tell you about it.
God sent me a couple of reminders of why I didn't need to get ugly. The first was in this blog post from The Handwritten (a blog I just recently discovered). There, God reminded me that I'm really not mad at him for making me how I am. And though I seem like I might be contradicting myself, I know that I like who I am and how I was made.
I enjoy having flipped around insides and a plastic tube in my body that you can see, touch, and even press in. And on a rare occasion, I don't mind having a rare lung disease that no one can pronounce and that won't even be recognized by the upcoming ICD-10 coding system (a diagnostic manual that doctors use to diagnose illness).
The second reminder came when I watched the movie The Help (which I highly recommend, by the way). At one point in the movie, one of the maids is talking with the main character, Skeeter, in a flashback. Skeeter is devastated because she hasn't been asked to the school dance, and she tells the maid that the boys think she's ugly. Constantine, the maid, responds beautifully:
"Oh, you quit feelin' sorry for yourself. Now, that's ugly. Ugly is somethin' that grows up inside you. It's mean and hurtin', like them boys. Now, you're not one of them, is you?"
It's when you're feeling sorry for yourself that you're at your ugliest.
Actually, scratch that.
It's when I am feeling sorry for myself that I am at my ugliest.
I've been there. I've done that. I've dug that hole and buried myself in it more than once. And I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself.
I'm tired of pretending like I'm mad at the way God made me.
I'm done being ugly.
I know this is something I struggle with, and I'm thinking maybe one or two people reading this might as well. If you're in the same boat as me, don't feel bad - that's how we got there in the first place.
Instead, join me today in deciding to be who we are without regret.
To be who we are without envying what we aren't.
To be who we are without being ugly.
... ... ...
Questions: How do you devalue yourself? What tends to bring you down the most? What can you do today to intentionally avoid feeling sorry for yourself?

Mark Helfrich: No Substitute Teacher
You know the type. The kid that sees the teacher is out sick, gives the substitute an overly friendly smile and heads to the back of the class, spitballs already forming in his palm. Hello, James Scales, redshirt sophomore who has just been kicked off the Duck football team for violating classroom — I mean team rules. It's the mature students who treat the new guy with respect. The immature students try to push things.
Then there's that newcomer in the school district who does his job well and knows what the overly friendly smile truly means. Before the wad of paper is loaded in the pen, the tone of the room has been set. The future offender is already dragging his feet toward the principal's office. Hello, Mark Helfrich, new head coach of the Oregon Duck football team — and apparently a guy not to be messed with.
Filling in for everybody's favorite teacher is a hard job. Coach Helfrich has an ever harder job — to replace him. Helfrich has decided that the gauntlet must be thrown down. Now watch your toes, guys. The more I know this man the more I find to like. I hate to lose an athlete who has the skill to get on the field as an underclassmen. But I'm thinking long-run, and I want a coach that isn't cool with the rules being broken.

ActiveTuning | NI-MP-AUXINPT-ALXT
This auxiliary input cable provides an auxiliary input connection to the factory Bose or non-Bose head units of various Nissan models that have the black 8-pin circular DIN on the back of it:
This cable plugs directly into the back of the head unit eliminating the need for an FM modulator and providing better sound quality. Use it to connect DVD sound, iPods, MP3 players, satellite radio receivers, carputers, or any other audio device with a stereo RCA or 1/8" stereo line outputs. An optional adapter is required for the 1/8" stereo (headphone) plug input. Depressing the switch enables the input and your head unit will display "AUX". Please refer to our installation instructions for additional installation details.
Please specify your switch preference in the order options when you place your. You may choose from a red pushbutton switch or a round snap-in rocker switch below which requires a larger hole.
List Of Confirmed Cars
Please confirm that your head unit features the black 8 pin DIN auxiliary input connector before ordering. This adapter will not work without the DIN plug.
For the best iPod compatibility, consider adding the PXP01 universal audio/video input + charger plug. This will allow direct audio input from your iPod's main plug, and will keep your iPod charged so that your battery does not run out.
Please e-mail us, and let us know if your vehicle is not listed, but does have the black 8-pin DIN.

How Jihad Made Its Way to Chechnya
Secular Separatist Movement Transformed by Militant Vanguard
SHARON LAFRANIERE / Washington Post 26apr03
KARAMAKHI, Dagestan -- This isolated southwest Russian village of dirt roads and one-story clay brick houses was profoundly peaceful, its residents say, until a Jordanian cleric named Khabib Abdurrakhman arrived in the early 1990s with a seemingly irresistible deal.
To a hamlet made destitute by the collapse of the Soviet Union, Abdurrakhman brought a slaughtered cow and a free feast every week. In a place where many people were left jobless by the demise of the local collective farm, he handed out $30 to every convert who came to his simple mosque. And to those adrift in the social chaos of the Soviet breakdown, he offered a new purpose in life -- a form of their traditional Islam rooted in fundamentalism and militancy.
Few questioned where his money came from, or who were the other Arabs who began to drift into the community. By the time questions did arise, it was too late.
By 1999, Abdurrakhman's growing band of followers had transformed the little settlement into an armed enclave, crisscrossed by tunnels and trenches and stockpiled with weapons for Abdurrakhman's true mission: severing Dagestan from Russian control and merging it into an Islamic state with neighboring Chechnya.
"They tried to lure people in a friendly way at first," according to Magomed Makhdiyev, the village imam, who says he tried to withstand the fundamentalists' influence. "But by 1999, they were saying, 'Join us or we'll cut your head off.' "
Abdurrakhman was part of a militant vanguard that deeply influenced what was then a secular separatist movement in Chechnya, recasting it in part as an international jihad that spilled over from the republic to neighboring Dagestan. Today the Russian government insists that it is impossible to understand the Chechen conflict without understanding the role of people like Abdurrakhman.
Russian intelligence officials say he is just one of hundreds of Arab radicals whose fervor and funds fueled fighting that has cost the lives of more than 4,500 Russian soldiers and thousands of rebels, plus many civilians, over the past 31/2 years.
Interviews with Chechen exiles, villagers in Chechnya and Dagestan, Western diplomats and terrorism experts confirm that Arab militants have played a significant role in the conflict. The full story has yet to emerge, however. Arab and Chechen commanders waging war in the republic are in hiding and could not be interviewed.
In the Russian government's view, Chechnya's war is nothing more or less than a terrorist enterprise, paid for by a combination of al Qaeda money and fraudulent charitable donations, commanded by Arabs trained in Afghanistan and fomented by outsider clerics such as Abdurrakhman preaching armed revolution under the theological justification of an Islamic strain known as Wahhabism.
"There are no more al Qaeda camps" in Chechnya, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February. "But there is still al Qaeda money. . . . There are instructors who are working, there are mercenaries from a number of Muslim countries recruited by radicals. Unfortunately, all that still exists there."
A Change of View
Until the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, the Russian argument got little hearing in the West, where officials suspected that Russia was mainly trying to deflect criticism of human rights abuses by Russian troops.
But in recent months, U.S. officials have increasingly subscribed to the Russian view that Arab militants have helped Chechen rebels with money and weapons, although the Americans say the guerrilla war still has its roots in Chechens' decades-old resentment of Soviet, and later Russian, dominance.
"Obviously there is still a strong internal impulse behind the Chechen insurgency," said a senior U.S. diplomat. "But it has become commingled with the broader international agenda of the Arab fighters."
Bush administration officials say the United States has helped cut off outside support of the conflict by routing the Taliban in Afghanistan, helping drive Islamic fighters from the nearby Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan and forcing Georgia to police the Pankisi Gorge on the Chechen border. After denying for years that the valley was a rebel sanctuary, Georgian officials now say that until last summer, it was home to 800 rebels, including 80 to 100 Arabs in a unit that received funds from al Qaeda.
Some terrorism experts say the West erred by dismissing Russia's claims for so long.
"Chechnya and the Pankisi Gorge in Georgia partially replaced Afghanistan as a center for terrorist training," said Rohan Gunaratna, a terrorism expert and the author of "Inside Al Qaeda." "The initial wave of terrorists who are now coming to Europe trained in Chechnya or Algeria," he said.
Col. Ilya Shabalkin, a spokesman for Russian forces in Chechnya, said Arabs still make up about one-fifth of Chechnya's roughly 1,000 active armed militants, who are increasingly confined to the republic's forests and mountains. "The Arabs are the specialists, they are the experts in mines and communications," Shabalkin said. He identified their leader as Abu Walid, a Saudi who showed up in Chechnya in the late 1990s.
The money, Russians say, comes from known terrorist groups such as al Qaeda and from some 40 organizations masquerading as charities in the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere. The flow of funds has diminished since U.S. and Russian intelligence began jointly clamping down on terrorist financing after the Sept. 11 attacks. Even so, the Russians say, $500,000 to $1 million a month still reaches Chechnya, delivered in small sums by couriers who travel Georgia's rugged mountain paths.
One source is a Saudi charity, al Haramain, according to Russia's Federal Security Service. In an internal memo provided by the agency, the FSB accused the charity of wiring $1 million to Chechen rebels in 1999 and of arranging to buy 500 heavy weapons for them from Taliban units.
The memo quotes what it calls messages exchanged between Arab commanders in Chechnya and al Haramain's director in Saudi Arabia. "Today, al Haramain has $50 million for the needs of the mujaheddin," one message from the charity read.
"The reason al Haramain provides assistance a little bit at a time is because it is afraid of the accusations it is assisting the jihad," said another.
Russia forced al Haramain to close its offices in Georgia and neighboring Azerbaijan in 2001, but its workers dispersed to similar groups that continue to work freely in Azerbaijan, Sergei Ignatchenko, the FSB spokesman, said in an interview.
A year ago, the United States and Saudi Arabia shut down al Haramain branches in Somalia and Bosnia after U.S. officials asserted those offices used charitable donations to finance terrorist activities.
Al Haramain says it distributed blankets, clothing and food in Chechnya but stopped its work there 14 months ago. "We do not have any relationship with any terrorist activities," said Shaykh Aqeel Aqeel, the charity's director. "We work under the supervision of the Saudi government."
Money From Bin Laden
Russian intelligence officials assert that Osama bin Laden donated at least $25 million and dispatched numerous fighters to Chechnya, including Ibn Khattab, a Saudi who led one of the best-trained contingents. The United States now agrees that Khattab had al Qaeda ties, and cited those links when it added three Chechen rebel units to its list of terrorist organizations earlier this year.
American officials said that several hundred Chechen fighters were trained at al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and that bin Laden sent "substantial amounts of money" to equip Chechen rebels in 1999. Some reports suggest al Qaeda urgently requested that Islamic organizations in Kuwait provide $2 million to the Chechen fighters as recently as last May, the U.S. government said in a five-page explanation of its decision to add Chechen groups to the list.
Gunaratna, the author, said Russia is exaggerating al Qaeda's contribution but not bin Laden's interest in the Chechen rebel cause. According to Gunaratna, the terrorist leader used a Persian Gulf bank to help finance the militants, at one point ordering an investigation into whether some Chechen leaders had siphoned off funds for themselves.
U.S. officials said they uncovered one source of support for Chechen rebels close to home: a Chicago-based charity called the Benevolence International Foundation, which investigators said funneled $300,000 to rebels in Chechnya and Bosnia. The foundation's director, Enaam Arnaout, denied any connections with al Qaeda.
But U.S. investigators said they found handwritten correspondence to and from bin Laden in the group's office in Bosnia. In one letter, according to court records, bin Laden declared: "The time has come for an attack on Russia."
Ayman Zawahiri, who is the United States' most-wanted terror fugitive after bin Laden, also saw potential in Chechnya as a sanctuary for his Egyptian militant followers before he merged his organization with al Qaeda in early 1998, Russian officials have said. Zawahiri's plans for Chechnya fell apart after Russian authorities arrested him in Dagestan in 1997, jailed him for six months and then freed him before learning his true identity, according to FSB spokesman Ignatchenko.
Arab influence in the first war between Chechen separatists and Russian soldiers, from 1994 to 1996, was minimal. Independence-minded Chechens considered themselves able to handle their own affairs, said Shamil Beno, who served as Chechnya's foreign minister in 1992 and as the republic's representative in Moscow in 2000-2001.
Dzhokhar Dudayev, Chechnya's president from 1991 until his death in 1996, was afraid of terrorist funds, Beno said in an interview: "He wanted checks done to see if it was terrorist money or not."
Those scruples faded in the mid-1990s, as more and more Arab missionaries and fighters flocked to the republic, proclaiming Islamic law, or sharia, and promoting Wahhabist traditions. Warlords had come to dominate Chechen society, and some of them embraced the fundamentalist cause.
The Arabs' goal went beyond preserving Chechnya's freedom: They wanted to merge Chechnya and Dagestan to create an Islamic state. Chechnya and Dagestan were poorer than the rest of Russia, and Dagestan, though home to a mosaic of ethnic groups, was predominantly Muslim. Its access to the Caspian Sea and its oil and gas reserves gave it a strategic importance to Russia that Chechnya did not share.
One of the new leaders was Khattab, who fought with bin Laden in Afghanistan as a teenager and who had publicly praised the al Qaeda leader as the "main commander of the mujaheddin worldwide." Khattab's position in the rebel movement was assured when he won over Shamil Basayev, Chechnya's best-known militant.
Planning a Takeover
Beno, who was once Basayev's close friend, said Basayev changed after he met Khattab in 1995. "He started moving from freedom for Chechnya to freedom for the whole Arab world. He changed from a Chechen patriot into an Islamic globalist," Beno said.
Basayev has told reporters he visited training camps in Afghanistan three times in the early 1990s to study the tactics of guerrilla warfare. In Chechnya, he and Khattab built their own training camp in the village of Serzhen-Yurt, complete with advanced communications equipment.
Their plans to take over Dagestan revolved partly around the village of Karamakhi, where Abdurrakhman, the Jordanian cleric, had begun preparing for jihad years earlier. By mid-1999, the village had been turned into a fortified base for rebels and religious fundamentalists.
Residents recall the sign that stood on the dirt road that led off the main highway: "This territory is under the jurisdiction of sharia law." A green Muslim flag was posted on a hill.
The hamlet's 14 policemen had been kicked out, and the Russian constitution declared invalid. Those caught drinking alcohol were beaten with sticks. Religious edicts were announced over a new broadcasting system, residents said.
Two rocket launchers, machine guns and explosives were hauled in and hidden. "There were so many Chechens and Arabs here we couldn't count them," said Makhdiyev, the imam. "They would come in carloads, 10 or 15 cars at a time."
Khattab visited the village, solidifying his ties by marrying a local 17-year-old girl. But the settlement remained divided between opponents and supporters of the Wahhabis. "Some people joined because they believed it was the right way," said Makhdiyev. "Others were just in dire straits. They went for these kopecks," or coins.
In August 1999, Chechen rebels launched incursions into Dagestan, but the operation failed miserably. Within a few weeks, Russian troops had driven hundreds of rebels under Khattab and Basayev back across the border into Chechnya. Russian troops announced the capture of Karamakhi in September.
That month, Moscow apartment houses were hit by a series of bombings that killed close to 300 people and were blamed by Russian authorities on Chechen rebels. Russian warplanes began hitting their positions and by October, 80,000 Russian troops were marching into Chechnya to reclaim the republic. Khattab was killed by Russian troops last year.
Villagers are still rebuilding what was destroyed by the Russian bombers. A new beige mosque is nearly finished, the ground around it a sea of mud.
A few rebel supporters, after being released from jail, asked their neighbors to forgive them and were accepted back into the village, said Makhdiyev.
"They say they were lost," he said. "They swore they would never do it again."

Osama Bin Laden to Reconcile Russia and USA
VASILY BUBNOV / Pravda 26apr03
Russia and USA must cooperate closer to fight terrorism
Osama bin Laden has reminded the world of his existence again. To be more precise, it was not him, but the Washington Post newspaper that reminded of the 9/11 prime suspect. The newspaper has recently published a long article that was called "How Jihad Made Its Way to Chechnya." The article particularly cited one of Bin Laden's messages that was meant for a Bosnia-based activist of Benevolence International Foundation. This "Islamic charity fund" actively sponsored terrorists, including Chechen terrorists too. So, Bin Laden wrote in a letter that it was time to attack Russia.
There are no doubts about the fact that Bin Laden hates Russia as much as he hates the United States. It is enough to remember that he used to wage war in Afghanistan against Soviet troops. Needless to mention that he could not but pay attention to Chechen terrorists that "fight" for the freedom of their "oppressed" fatherland. Russian authorities have already said that before on many occasions - Chechen terrorists cooperate with Al-Qaida very actively. Hundreds of terrorists have been trained on the bases of Bin Laden's terrorist group. When "free Ichkeria" (as Chechen terrorists call Chechnya) was virtually not controlled by Moscow, emissaries of terrorist groups felt free and easy in Chechnya. They did not even think that they had to hide and conceal their presence from anyone.
However, after military actions began in 1999, the West with the USA at the head did not listen much to Russian senior officials, who said that there were a lot of terrorists in Chechnya, including Al-Qaida terrorists. Properly speaking, the evidence of their presence and activities in the Chechen republic is still prejudiced, especially in the countries of Western Europe.
Anyway, all of these facts were known before. There is something else that is worth paying attention to. The article in the Washington Post appeared on a very good moment, from the point of view of the situation with Russian-American relations, which worsened on account of the Iraqi war. The partnership that has been formed between the two countries after September 11th, 2001 was based on the notion of the international terrorism that threatened everyone. It should be also mentioned here that the partnership between Russia and America was rather peculiar sometimes. The war in Iraq ruined the idea that it was possible to defeat the international terrorism with the help of joint efforts. This idea has been pushed back into the background. However, it does not at all mean that the idea is not actual anymore. It happens vice versa, actually.
One may say that Bin Laden and his messages can be good both to Moscow and Washington, for it might simplify the process of retrieving normal political relations between the two countries. Of course, Russia and America will always have their own interests in the international politics, and the countries will do their best to stand up for them. It is not ruled to that those interests might find themselves in the opposition to each other in the future. Obviously, Russia has fewer opportunities to stand up for its point of view in comparison with the USA. This will definitely not add more stability in the bilateral relations between Russia and the United States. Nevertheless, the two countries must cooperate with each other in order to destroy the global terrorist network, including the one in Chechnya. Otherwise, the national security of both Russia and the USA will suffer from huge damage. It would be a lot harder to handle such consequences alone.

Nihil Obstat Imprimatur
Being exiled as I am I sometimes find pleasure in unanticipated places. From a chance encounter with a curious link I recently had the pleasure of reading a blog authored by Max Pearson to be found at the link The Progressive Puppy. The story Max wrote which I am referring to here is titled A Gay Youth at Texas Bible Camp, Long Long Ago.
It's refreshing, well written and it made me smile. It also recalled for me the many attempts to make me too a born again fundamentalist evangelical christian solder. Those attempts began early in my life and were as unrelenting as they were illogical. That attempted indoctrination took place in the small backward community of far off Eastern Oregon where I grew up within the great stone walls of the Catholic Church.
The problem with being born gay in a community like that is that from the time we were very young we found ourselves under constant attack. Since the abuse was not visibly apparent as in someone jeering at us or socking us in the jaw it was assumed that it did not exist. But continuously over time we were reminded daily just how evil, wrong and misdirected we were. Soon we begin to accept that we had little value and we behaved accordingly.
Needless to say that when I first saw the bumper sticker that read, "I survived Catholic School," I laughed and I knew exactly what it meant. I survived too, but just.
In the forward to my book, The Interstellar Incident, I address the conditions that existed in that small community so many years ago. What I wrote there is all true and I have little reason to believe that any of that has changed today. And that recollection is an important consideration when one is attempting to author anything.
IMHO it is not possible to fully divorce ourselves from who we are when we write anything. The creative words tumble out, however controlled or uncontrolled they may seem to be, from within the very consciousness of who we are. I might write using forms of fiction and describe how my protagonist has had aliens crashed down at his feet while he is innocently camping out in the high desert. But the truth is what I am really writing about is a part of me, dredged up from someplace deep within my psyche.
I recall another example of that mysterious creative energy when many yeas ago while I was recovering from surgery on my legs, I typed up a short story on my old Olympia typewriter. In it I describe how a destitute old hippie is running from his creditors when he accidentally and innocently encounters a witch with magical powers. That old woman, as I describe her, extricates him from the dead end life he is living. I never finished writing that story. I think about it sometimes and maybe someday I will work on it some more.
What is significant about all of that for me is that shortly after writing that story I lost my job and found myself on a terrible path. About three or four years later I met Helen Gilman about whom the book Helen:A Psychic Gift was written. I don't mean to suggest that Helen was a witch. At 90 years of age, when I knew her, she certainly was an old woman. But far from being a witch with magical powers she was instead a somewhat combative but basically kindly old grandmother who was more concerned about her visitors than herself. And she was endowed with very strong Psychic powers. Magical? I don't know about that but those powers were indeed her special gift.
And there is little question that upon meeting Helen my life changed course. I would never have considered quitting my job, moving or writing any book had I not met her. Indeed, I don't believe I would have ever self-published anything had I not met her.
In the instance of the short story about the old woman witch, I believe I was writing from some strange precognitive energy source. Looking back at it from today's perspective it is certainly uncanny when the similarities between the character I wrote about and what actually happened some time later in my life are compared. The voice coming from inside of me dictated that story and I simply punched the keys and wrote it down as best I could. I did so just as it came, even though it seemed a little odd at the time.
That is the energy that I think propels all writers to produce. It is both introspective and individual. In my adult years I am once again reading Kurt Vonnegut. I first read him when I was in my very early twenties. I was exhilarated in those days by his irreverence for the planet and the culture that we live in. I have to admit that in those days I didn't see anything in what he had written except for that irreverence and his very creative ways of spelling it out.
Today as I read his words again I read between the lines and I think I can see a great deal about that man that he never wrote down. It would have been interesting to know him as friend to learn if how I now perceive him to be and who he really was are in anyway similar.
Nihil Obstat is a Latin phrase which actually translates to nothing hinders. In the Catholic Church it basically means that there is no objection to something like an initiative, appointment or a written text. In the front of many old Catholic books that I still own it will say, Nihil Obstat Imprimatur. That means, "nothing stands against, (that particular text) it may be printed."
My indoctrination in evangelicalism was stilted by circumstance inexplicable but very effective over time. I can't say that I never bought into it all because early on I really did.
As an alter boy during the various Catholic Mass ceremonies where I served it was sometimes my job to carry an ornate brass pot called a thurible. Inside it was a burning piece of charcoal and onto that charcoal the priest would occasionally sprinkle spoonfuls of incense. That created a great deal of misty, smelly smoke which the priest shook around the church or at whomever or whatever was being sanctified in the particular service at the time.
In those days I was very moved by all of that but I really didn't have any understanding of any of it. One stood at certain times and sat at others. Sometimes we had to kneel. The smoke was just part of that whole staged event. I hated the kneeling part. It was hard for me to fit on those small padded rails way down there and it hurt my knees in time. I felt such suffering was unneeded if not also a bit perverse. If only I had known.
Today I understand that the smoke is symbolic of the spiritual aspect of the Lord of All Creation. Vonnegut introduced me to the phrase The Lord of All Creation. It much better serves the description that modern Christianity has for what or whom God might be. The Catholic Church preaches that The Lord of All Creation is actually one divinity made up of three entities. Those three entities are described as the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. That belief is the Catholic theology of the trinity and it is a basic dogma of the Catholic religion.
That smoke emanating from that brass pot and fueled by a hot piece of charcoal was an attempt on the part of the officiating priest to say, "See, the hold spirit is right here. See him drifting out those little holes!" Go figure.
I recall that when I was about 13 years old I told a Catholic priest that I thought I might like boys. Well what I told him was I was finding myself very attracted to one particular boy at the time. I was taught to trust those priests. I was instructed that those men where there to guide and help me and I could tell them anything, including my deepest and darkest secrets. I was certain they would easily solve my troubles for me or show me a way out. I was confident that they were there to protect me. I was a young, confused, homosexual boy that needed protection.
Instead of protecting me what that priest did was tell my mom to take me to a Catholic psychiatrist way off in the far off city of Boise, Idaho. That was 131 miles away from where we lived and only the most severe medical issues were ever taken there. Some people that I knew of at the time went there for treatment and never returned.
Thankfully that psychiatrist had a bit of a brain and told my mom there was nothing wrong with me. Well what he actually told her was I didn't need to come back anymore. His treatment advisory for me may have been based on the fact that my mom didn't have any extra money. Being a good Catholic wife with 15 children to feed and clothe there simply wasn't any extra money to spend on such foolishness like psychiatric counseling. Lord knows I needed such counseling. So did they, but I won't get into that. They included both of my parents as well as the priest who made the initial recommendation.
But ironically that priest was wise in ways that he could never know. That boy I liked so well turned out to be the ass hole of the universe and I was indeed crazy to be interested in him in any respect.
Years later, when about 20, I had one of my many desperation attacks and went back to that church voluntarily. While inside, attempting to make sense of it all, someone siphoned all the gas out of my Studebaker pickup truck. I didn't make much money in those days, (now either for that matter but that's another story) and I had just filled that tank with gas.
To add insult to injury shortly after that theft the truck began to behave funny. While purring happily down the road it would all at once fall into a fit of coughing and jerking sometimes failing completely until I was able to steer it over to the side of the road. It would always happily start right up after that and run as though nothing had ever been wrong.
After some months of trying to find out what was wrong with it and after taking it to half a dozen different professional mechanics who were all equally as baffled, that engine totally failed. One day a coughing fit resulted in the thing dieing, never to start again.
A friend who was somewhat of a mechanic like myself helped me find a balled up piece of rubber hose in the gas tank. The jerks who had siphoned the gas out of my truck while I was in church had simply pushed the rubber hose back into the tank when they left. Over time the gasoline dissolved that hose and as it floated around inside of the tank it would plug the gas suction pipe which caused the truck to buck and snort like it did.
During the last of those episodes the fiber timing gear exploded and shut down the oil pump which was a peculiarity of that particular Studebaker engine. It caused irreversible damage to the crankshaft bearings and the whole motor had to be rebuilt as a result. The old rig was never the same after that.
And neither was I. If there is a Lord of All Creation that Lord told me on that day without question that I did not need to take my troubles to that church. That church is a place filled with troubles and I know now that there is no refuge for me to be found there. I have never forgotten that message.
I titled this blog, Nihil Obstat Imprimatur, nothing stands against, it may be printed and it is that message which I wish to share with you. When you are writing let it flow. Like my old granny used to tell me, "Just as well say it as think it." If your heart feels it, sing it out. It doesn't really matter if anyone ever reads it or not. As a writer it is your art. And your art is important.
So are you. No matter who tries to tell you differently, you are important. No matter who sends you off to a psychiatrist or a Texas church summer camp, you are important. You are important and if there is a Lord of All Creation, he, she or it loves you just like you are. You were made the way you are and no one should ever ask or expect you to change.
In my previous blog I spoke about The Proggy and the many predictions I have received from the tool that work was based on. In this blog entry I speak of the precognitive prognostications which led me to write a short story about a witch, once upon a time long, long ago. All of these psychic experiences are a very big part of my life and they have been for a very long time, even before I met Helen Gilman of Boulder, Colorado. But they are also very introspective and I have always been afraid to write about them for fear of the criticism I was certain I would get.
I am not afraid anymore. Allow me to share with you that as I write these words I am exiled in a land far off from my home. I am here because my same gendered spouse was born here. The same fundamentalist factors that tried when I was child to make me into something that I am not have deemed that although the US is a free country, by rights and tradition some are more free than others.
Every year literally thousands of folks meet partners who were not born within the continental United States. They get married and bring their spouses back with them to live happily ever after. But we are not allowed to do that. You see the fundamentalist element does not approve of how we make love and as such they are bent on depriving us of our basic civil rights. I cannot sponsor my spouse for a green card and he cannot legally come home home with me because we both share the same gender.
We want to go home. That's all. We don't wish to send anyone to a psychiatrist or force them into a religious summer camp to find the Lord of All Creation or to be subjected to any "ex-gay" therapy. We don't want to bother anyone. We only want to go home and live happily ever after until death do us part.
That this will happen is also a promise I have been made through The Proggy, by The Lord of All Creation. I would like to end this blog by publicly declaring to anyone who reads it and also to that very Lord of All Creation, if she, he or it is reading this, that I do not need smelly smoke wafting about to prove you are here. We just want to go home. We are waiting and it has been a very long time since we were promised we could do that.

OCC's Walsh warns of 'vast overreaction' in derivatives regulation
A US banking regulator warned Tuesday against a "vast overreaction" in regulation of derivatives markets, offering a contrast to other regulators who have called for an aggressive approach to that corner of the financial system.
Common criticisms of derivatives that emerged after the 2008 financial crisis are "far broader than the specific instruments or circumstances implicated," Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh said in remarks prepared for a conference in Las Vegas.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which Walsh runs, supervises the large banks being forced to restructure their derivatives and trading operations as a result of the Dodd-Frank law.
To critics, derivatives "are not just a sophisticated component of a bank's product portfolio, but toxic instruments that should be pushed out of the banking system entirely," Walsh said. "That is a vast over reaction, and it worries me that misperception could motivate redesign of the system … risk ascribed to derivatives is often many orders of magnitude greater than the reality."
By contrast, Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, has been far more critical. At a hearing last week, Gensler said derivatives, particularly credit default swaps, were central to the financial crisis and housing bubble.
"They contributed to a system where large financial institutions were considered not only too big to fail, but too interconnected to fail," Gensler said.
The CFTC is writing a host of new rules for sometimes complex derivatives called swaps. Congress gave the CFTC the bulk of the responsibility for overseeing this market when it passed the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul in July 2010.
Derivatives are financial products that gain or lose value based on the fluctuation of something else, such as interest rates, raw-materials prices or a company's creditworthiness. They are used to hedge risk or speculate for profit.
Most regulators have largely been supportive of the slew of regulations that are hitting the financial system in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But Walsh has at times been critical. Last summer, he raised concerns about whether international bank capital requirements are so high that they would harm economic growth, and came under fire from Senate Democrats.
Walsh became the OCC's temporary leader in August 2010 when John Dugan completed his five-year term. The White House has nominated Thomas Curry, a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's board since 2004, as his replacement, but that nomination has yet to clear the Senate.
Walsh also assured attendees at the American Securitisation Forum's annual conference that regulators are working to make sure they don't "venture into areas where we don't belong" as they implement the so-called 'Volcker Rule' limiting banks' ability to make bets with their own money.
Investors in securities backed by mortgages and other assets are worried that their ability to trade those securities will be limited under the Volcker restrictions.
In addition, Walsh hinted at some flexibility on another controversial piece of the Dodd-Frank law, a requirement that issuers of securities backed by mortgages and other assets hold a portion of the risk themselves, under the theory that this requirement will discourage risky behaviour.
The law directed regulators to come up with an exemption for high quality loans. Regulators' initial proposal to require down payments of at least 20% for these "qualified residential mortgages" has brought criticism from the banking industry, consumer groups and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who say it will shut out qualified borrowers from the housing market.
Given the volume of comments, Walsh said regulators could go back to the drawing board and issue a new proposal, rather than make the rule final.
Whether to do so, Walsh said, "is very much one of the issues we're looking at because there have been very many comments and very many substantive comments on the rule."

The second man charged in the shooting death of a La Crosse woman has also pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
Kong Vue pleaded guilty to one count of party to a crime, first-degree reckless homicide for the death of 20-year-old Sara Hougom March 26 at her apartment on Division Street.
Three remaining charges were dropped as a result of the plea agreement.
Kong Vue will be sentenced on November 5. He faces a maximum of 60 years in prison.
Pao Choua Vue pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless homicide on August 15. He faces a maximum of 40 years in prison at sentencing in October.
Pao Choua Vue and Kong Vue were both charged with first-degree intentional homicide and with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in a drive-by shooting on Island Street just minutes before the Division Street shooting.
Kong Vue told investigators he went into Hougom's apartment to steal money and shot in Hougom's direction before running away. Hougom died a short time later at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse.
Three other felony charges against Pao Choua Vue, including the attempted first-degree intentional homicide charge and a burglary charge, were dismissed, but will be considered at sentencing.

Hilary Duff Dances With Elephants
WTF? No, Hilary Duff hasn't started her own zoo. She attended the "Night with the Raj" Polo Ball at International Polo Club Palm Beach. The singer wore a cute red dress and beige Christian Louboutins, and frolicked with the animals. The Polo Ball is the highlight of the club's social season and a who's who of polo will be among the sell-out crowd of more than 400 guests. My only question is, where does Hilary Duff fit into all of this?
More photos of Hilary Duff and her elephant pal after the jump.

"A Safe Family is a Cannon Family ™ "
Cannon gun safes have been protecting families and their firearms since 1965. Whatever your needs or your budget, we have a safe for you! Over our nearly 50 years in business we've been continually improving and refining our safes to ensure they offer maximum security to our customers and their families. Whether your goal is to keep your shotguns out of the hands of children, protect your family's rifles, or house an armory for a small militia, Cannon has a gun safe to fit your needs.
To view Cannon's celebrated line of gun safes, browse the options below or browse by series: Armory Series, Commander Series, Cannon Series, Scout Series, and Patriot Series Safes. If you are looking for protection for your handguns and pistols specifically, be sure to check out GunVault.com.
What Sets Cannon Gun Safes Apart?
Longer Bolts with Anti Pry Tabs: Cannon gun safes boast features like longer, stronger bolts (twice as long as the competition) housed in doors and frames with anti-pry tabs. Our rugged Cannon construction kept the Russo family's guns and valuables protected against multiple pry attempts.
Triple Hard Plate: 3 layers of 60+ RC hardened steel protect the locking mechanism on your Cannon gun safe. These features kept Fraser Heston's belongings safe even after burglars spent several hours trying to crack his gun safe with an oxyacetylene torch.
Cannon True Fire Ratings: While other safe companies test their safe like they're cooking a thanksgiving turkey (keeping the heat at 300 degrees for the majority of the test), Cannon's True Test reaches 1200 degrees within the first 8 minutes of testing and stays at that temperature until failure. These True Tests ensure that your gun safe is prepared for the worst case scenario. Read the remarkable stories of the Morris, Cummings and Briley families, whose fire-resistant Cannon gun safes protected their possessions from devastating house fires.
A Back-up Plan: Cannon's revolutionary dual access EMP lock provides a manual combination back-up plan for anything that could compromise the electronics in your locking mechanism. The EMP lock will protect you against threats such as electromagnetic pulses, dead batteries, floods, fires, and natural disasters. Learn more about our EMP lock.
Best Warranty in the Business: Cannon gun safes boast the best warranty in the business. Our safes come with FREE parts, labor, and freight for repairs and replacement after natural floods, attempted or actual break-ins, and fire disasters for the lifetime of the safe. No other company offers a warranty like Cannon's.

While the Sioux nation has been in the spotlight for their pipeline protests, they are also developing what would be an enormous collection of wind farms on six reservations.
A pipeline project is quietly being installed as fast as possible, critics say, displacing residents, threatening water supplies and racking up alleged construction violations.

The next bus ride took us through remote adobe villages and mining towns, past desert-like ground with salty rivulets running through. One or two large lakes dominated the landscape at one stage and we were surprised to see that the villages weren�t situated next to them, but on the dusty hills above. We were the only tourists on the bus, something we had enjoyed over the last few days.
While we have been used to chickens on buses for months, we were a little surprised when the bus stopped next to a couple of campesinos (country people) and two llamas sitting obediently by the side of the road. As it turned out, the llamas' legs were tied together and the campesinos with the aid of the bus conductor started to lift and push these large animals into the luggage storage compartments under the bus. They were given some serious llama resistance and liberally coated in yellow llama phlegm for their efforts.
Have you ever heard a llama scream? The sound is like something like a high-pitched alien from Doctor Who (for our Anglo readers) or a special effects sound from a Peter Jackson movie. A sound which drives shivers down your spine, like fingernails down a blackboard. The llama owner sat next to me and I asked him if the llama was OK. He replied that the animal was fine and seemed surprised at my question.
The trip then passed uneventfully, with the exception of another llama pick-up and delivery on the way. Arriving in Huancavelica, we were less than impressed with the look of the place and our first impressions weren�t helped by a drunk covered in his own blood lying in the small plaza
The town was inundated with juice bars, and we found one which had fresh green paint, wooden chairs and plastic grapes strung around the ceiling. It had a relaxed, friendly ambience that would measure up to any popular cafe in our countries. We were so impressed by our food there that we asked the Se�ora to make us breakfast for the next day - I think we were her best customers for the day.
We walked through the cobbled streets lined with colonial buildings and intersected with plazas and churches. Ed had a haircut with a bubbly, chatty hairdresser who was a bit surprised to have a gringo Chino (chinese) in her salon, she explained that normally all the Chinos she sees are from Peru! Ed was pretty pleased when she said that he was a Guapo Chino Gringo (handsome Chinese foreigner/whitey) and he left with a smile and a better-looking head of hair.
The Chinos came through again with a decent, good-value meal...

Collaborative working relationships among health professionals are universally important and valuable to achieve and maintain. Yet such partnerships are critical to the provision of clinical nutrition services that are efficient and cost-effective. The ability of dietetics professionals to form and sustain professional partnerships is essential to the delivery of medical nutrition therapy, since it is provided and reimbursed based on physician diagnosis and relies heavily on referral by physicians or other health or social services team members. Techniques that facilitate communication and team building are described.
LIFESTYLE modifications to improve diet and increase physical activity are the cornerstone of interventions to improve health and reduce the incidence and severity of multiple chronic disease states. Healthy People 20101 encourages individuals, communities, and professionals to increase the proportion of persons appropriately counseled about health behaviors including diet. It emphasizes the need to form partnerships that facilitate a systematic approach to health improvement.
The US Preventive Services Task Force2 found good evidence to recommend medium- to high-intensity interventions that combine nutrition education with behaviorally oriented counseling to help adults with chronic diet-related disease acquire the skills, motivation, and support to alter food preparation practices and daily eating patterns. The Task Force states that counseling can be delivered by primary care clinicians (physicians, nurses, or nurse practitioners (NPs) and/or by referral to other specialists such as nutritionists or dietitians. The American Dietetic Association (ADA),3 Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure,4 Council for Nutritional Clinical Strategies in Long Term Care,5 Nutrition Screening Initiative,6 National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III,7 American Academy of Family Physicians,8 and Institute of Medicine,9 among others, recommend that primary care providers work in partnership with dietetics professionals to ensure provision of high quality nutritional care.

Governor Christie Becomes a Popular Man on Campus
By Monica Miller, WBGO News
Newark. September 3, 2013
Some students kicked off the fall semester with a visit from New Jersey's Governor. He's spending taxpayer money on construction projects to give state universities and colleges a modern touch.
Governor Chris Christie is a popular man on the campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology.. He's announced the college is getting an $86.3 million improvement project to provide a state-of-the-art facility to keep New Jersey's best and brightest from leaving the state.
"When they leave, they get that first internship out of state maybe. Maybe they meet the person they fall in love with that's from that state and never come back. We don't want that to happen. We don't want that to happen to our students here in New Jersey if we can provide them with a high quality alternative."
The state is spending $1.3 billion on higher education infrastructure improvements. It'll buy 176 projects across the state for four year institution as well as community colleges.

Bobbi Brown has spent two decades creating natural color cosmetics and skin-friendly moisturizers and cleansers to help you get camera-ready.
Bobbi Brown built her makeup business on the simple but powerful notion that women want to look like themselves. As a successful fashion industry makeup artist, Brown had a hard time finding products that looked natural on her models, so she worked with a chemist to formulate her own cosmetics line.
The result was a set of flattering lipsticks that were both beautiful and subtle – and they were so popular with Bergdorf Goodman shoppers that the first month's stock sold out in a day. Over the past 20 years, Brown has grown her cosmetics line to include everything the modern woman needs to create a natural, healthy look.

Gillard blames Howard for skills drop
EDUCATION Minister Julia Gillard has blamed the Howard government for a decline in the literacy and numeracy standards of Australian students.
Fair enough. Her team won the election and thus have sledging rights but I do think it's a bit simplistic. The Federal Government's main input into education is funding the states who then apply the funding as they see fit. Or, rather, as the Teachers Union see fit. This left wing union and the state Labour Government's have more say in class room teaching than the Federal Government and until Julia speaks of setting the agenda herself then there will be no change.
To be quiet honest, even if she does set the agenda herself I'm willing to bet there will still be no change.
True, Howard tried to influence the school system, the suggested History curriculum comes to mind, but he didn't get far.
It will be interesting to see where the ALP go on education. "Lap Tops for everyone, lunches for free" type of policy does need some fleshing out.
