Two weeks into the new year, US markets have gotten off to a decent start. The S&P 500 is up almost three percent, and there has been some decent economic data. However, European negativity still abounds, and the recent downgrades were no surprise. As we head into the heart of earnings season, the question remain to be seen is whether corporate reports or economic issues will rule the day.
Now, Gordon Gecko once said "Greed is good." To an extent, that phrase can be true. Those who aren't willing to take any risks in the market won't make any money from it. That fact is true. However, greed is not always good, ask anyone who has ever taken a loss on a stock. We are just two weeks into the year, but there have been some decent winners so far. However, whether you have held these names through their rallies or are looking to now enter a position, you have to make sure that these winners don't become losers.
Let's look at the gains first:
|2012 Start
|Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)
|Bank of America (NYSE:BAC)
|Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU)
|Molycorp (MCP)
|First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR)
|Sodastream (NASDAQ:SODA)
|Ford (NYSE:F)
All seven of these names are up double digits so far this year. Some of them are up over 30% even, and most of these aren't exactly small cap names. Two of these names are close to their highs for the year, but the rest have started backing off. Winners can become losers quickly, and gains can evaporate faster than you can read this article. The following table shows you how far these names have backed off their highs already.
|2012 High
|Bank of America
|First Solar
First Solar may be up 18% this year, but ask anyone who bought over $43 recently how that makes them feel?. Bank of America opened above $7 the other day, and within minutes was under $6.90. All seven of these names have done well so far this year, but some have already lost quite a bit of their names. Let's look at the key issues for some of their rally and near term outlooks for each.
Netflix: Surprisingly, one of 2011's big losers that was left for dead has rallied sharply to start the new year. It appears that there has been a bit of short covering, and Netflix just launched its service in the UK and Ireland. Also, a report that users are streaming billions of hours in content lit a fire under shares recently, despite concerns that perhaps more subscriptions were lost in Q4 that the company originally guided to. Netflix will release their earnings report next Wednesday, the 25th, after the bell. That report will be the ultimate test for the rally. Netflix has already announced it will lose money for all of 2012, but yet the consensus number from analysts is still for a profit. Netflix could easily lose all of its 2012 gains after that earnings report, and then some. It could also double these gains, but you have to determine if the risk is worth taking after such a large rally.
Bank of America: Another one of 2011's losers has been a big winner so far this year, but the stock has already lost over a quarter of its gains after touching the $7 mark. Bank of America is expected to post a profit when it reports fourth quarter earnings Thursday morning. Investors have felt a lot better about the banks lately, as they have been one of the best performing sectors recently. We are know in the midst of their busiest week for earnings, so we should know by the end of the week whether or not these gains will hold or not.
Lululemon: Shares of the Canadian athletic apparel retailer have done exceptionally well so far this year. The first leg of their gains was due to the company receiving a great analyst note, and getting put on the conviction buy list at Goldman Sachs. The second half of its gains were after the company raised its fourth quarter revenue and earnings guidance. Their is plenty of good news around the name currently, but the stock has gotten rather expensive recently. I like the company and their future, but the stock is up almost 50% since it bottomed after its last earnings report. It is due for a pullback.
Molycorp: Shares of the rare earth mineral producer and processor have started to rebound in 2012 after a bad 2011. I called the name one of my top growth picks for 2012, and I'm standing by that call. This company is growing revenues tremendously at the moment. However, expectations were too high in 2011 and that set up the stock for disappointment. Now that expectations have come back down to more realistic levels, the stock can start to rise again. On a percentage basis, the stock is up big so far this year, but it can do much better if it grows as expected.
First Solar: Solar stocks saw huge declines in the second half of 2011, and they have seen huge rebounds so far this year. However, earnings estimates are still coming down, and many of the smaller names, primarily the Chinese based ones, are expected to lose a fair amount of money in 2012. These companies carry high debt loads, which means further capital raises may be needed. First Solar lowered its 2011 numbers several times as the year progressed, and I'm not quite sure they feel that they have hit the bottom yet. Their next earnings report will be key not only for the company, but for the entire sector as well.
SodaStream: Shares of the make your own soda at home company started off 2012 with nice gains, and some of it is due to their recent deal with Kraft (KFT). It's a small positive for the company, but not a total game changer yet. The company has done a nice job of expanding its product line and getting into more US retail locations. There is plenty of growth ahead for this company, but expectations need to be realistic. This stock saw its bubble burst in 2011 when expectations got too high. It is likely to report a good quarter when it reports, but that is still probably a month and a half away.
Ford: Shares of the US automaker have done quite well so far in the new year, but the company's valuation has stretched a bit recently. Ford announced great sales growth in December and for the full year (in terms of vehicles sold), but earnings are expected to be flat to down year over year. In fact, 2012 earnings are expected to be a chunk lower than 2011, and expectations are coming down almost weekly. About three months ago, Ford was trading at just 6 times 2012 earnings. Now it is trading above 7.7 times. I sometimes am called a bear on these names, and that's not really true. My only point is that expectations are coming down, and that has caused valuations to rise a bit lately. That's an important point to consider if you are planning on entering the name at these levels.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

If there was a single trait that McLaren has to single out as the culprit for its woeful 2013 Formula 1 campaign, it would have to be ambition.
Having been a genuine title contender in 2012, and ended that season with the fastest car, it had spent the subsequent winter comfortable with a decision to go radical with its new design.
It was fearful that it had reached a development ceiling with the MP4-27, and that a simple evolution for 2013 would leave it exposed to falling behind as rivals inevitably made progress with their own machinery. So it decided to be bold.

Not durable
I ordered this is yellow for my mud room. The rug feels like plastic, but on the floor it looks like a regular flat weave rug. It is easy to keep clean, even with two large dogs who track in mud and dirt every time they go out. The reason for the three stars is this rug is not durable. I've only had it for a few months and already the edges are fraying from running a vacuum cleaner over it. Some of the weaving in the middle of the rug looks like it's starting to unravel. I'll have to replace this rug before it's 6 months old. Big disappointment.Read More

great color!
I bought the 5x8, blue and white version of this rug for my family room and couldn't be happier! You absolutely can't tell it's not cotton unless you hold it up to your eyes. I wanted something that will withstand spills and this cleans right up -I can hose it down outside if I need to. You might think the pattern will be to busy, but it seems to act like a neutral -I've got it mixed with big, bright art and yellow-white ikat drapes and it looks great!Read More

"how do you clean this rug?"
Thank you for your question cheves01. For spot cleaning of spill and stains, blot dry with a paper towel. (Blot, do not rub.) Do not touch the stain or spill with your hands or fingers. The oils from your skin only helps to set the stain not remove it. After the spill has been blotted use cold water with a soft brush to clean if necessary. Blot dry with a towel, be careful not to rub and extract as much water as possible. 90% of all stains will come clean without using anything other than cold clear water. If you have a stubborn stain you may want to try a spray carpet cleaner. Be careful no to use too much. After applying the spray cleaner, use a soft brush to clean. When the stain is gone wipe off excess cleaner with a rag wet with cold water, repeat rinsing with cold water, then dry the area with a dry towel. I hope this helps, have a great day.

text: Bratislava: The Slovakian also-rans of Matador Puchov against the might of Barcelona - it should have been no contest at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium on Wednesday. And so it would appear, looking at clear goal-scoring opportunities in the first leg of the first round UEFA Cup tie. Frank Rijkaard's men should have been ahead at the interval - referee Kuddusi Muftuoglo showing a lack of appreciation of the rulebook and wiping out Patrick Kluivert's effort. Presumably, it was for offside a" though, that would have been negated by a Puchovplayer in the wall making contact with the ball. 'Barca' did take the lead within four minutes of the restart - this time, Kluivert's effort did count. Only an excellent save from Tomas Bernady denied Ronaldinho doubling the visitor's advantage. And the merest of touches from substitute Saviola would have made it 2-0. But that wasn't the whole story a" by far. Puchov didn't have the undoubted class of their much-vaunted visitors. Thanks partly to a passionate crowd, they did play with great heart, and never stopped battling, never gave up a" and in the third minute of injury time, earned full reward for their heroism when Milan Jambor equalised. It finished 1-1 - and that most likely, will mean the end of Puchov's UEFA Cup adventure. But for one night at least, the players of Puchov could hold their heads high.

Aspirin May Fight Osteoporosis
In mice, the drug appears to prevent both improper bone resorption and the death of bone-forming stem cells.
Removal of the ovaries and the resulting decrease in estrogen induces osteoporosis in mice, much like the onset of the disease in post-menopausal women, Shi said.
It is commonly thought that T-lymphocytes, a type of immune system cell, play a pivotal part in this process by over-activating osteoclasts, the bone cells that reabsorb bone material from the skeleton. Most current osteoporosis therapies aim to curb overactive osteoclasts.
However, there seems to be another side to the T-lymphocytes', or T-cells', role in osteoporosis, Yamaza said. While the immune cells typically attack disease cells and other foreign entities, the T-cells mistakenly can attack healthy stem cells.
"After infusing the mice with T-cells, the T-cells impaired the function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as well as caused osteoclast numbers to increase," he said.
The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, or BMMSC, differentiate to become many different cells, including osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.
If this process is impaired by T-cells, bone formation cannot keep up with bone resorption caused by osteoclasts and bone mineral density decreases the hallmark of osteoporosis that leads to skeletal structural deterioration and fractures.
An aspirin regimen has been linked in earlier epidemiological studies to better bone mineral density, but the mechanisms of its interactions in regards to bone health had not yet been studied extensively, Shi said.
In their new study published in PLoS ONE, Shi, Yamaza and their colleagues from around the world present evidence that aspirin fights a dual battle.
"We've shown how aspirin both inhibits bone resorption and promotes osteoblast formation," Shi said.
Another exciting aspect of the aspirin treatment is that the dose administered to the mice in order to increase their bone mineral density is the same as that of a typical human aspirin regimen when adjusted for body weight differences, he added.
While the species difference is still a factor, the results are promising.
"When we gave a large amount of aspirin to the mouse by injection, it did not work," Shi said, "but when we (put) a low dose in the mices' water for a long period of time, similar to a human dosage, the bone mineral density increased."
Shi and Yamaza hope that their work will translate into new clinical strategies for osteoporosis.
"We have opened a door," Shi said. "We hope other scientists can confirm what we've found and move the treatment forward."

ACC men stay close with?Oakland in first half but fall 82-45
By JAMES
News Sports Editor
For most of the first half against No. 15 Oakland on Saturday, the Alpena Community College men's basketball team matched up well with one of the country's top teams.
Once the Raiders put the pedal down however, there was no looking back as Oakland trounced the Lumberjacks 82-45 at Park Arena.
Kallante Miller led Oakland (16-4, MCCAA Eastern) with 14 points and was one of three Raiders in double figures. Aaron Hayes had 11 points and Darius Stevens added 10.
A pair of free throws by Justin MacGregor cut Oakland's lead down to four, 23-19, with 5:11 to play in the first half, but the game belonged to the Raiders from there.
"You can slow them down with defense. We were standing around robots," McCourt said. "When you play zone, if you match up, you frustrate them. It frustrated them the whole first half."
Oakland ended the first half on a 16-0 run and didn't slow down once the second half began. The Raiders' speed and athleticism proved too much for ACC (5-15, 2-8 MCCAA Eastern), which found itself rushing too much on offense and committed 26 turnovers to Oakland's 11.
The Raiders weren't afraid to drive the ball inside and drew lots of contact. Oakland went 18-for-29 at the charity stripe compared to just 7-of-14 for the Lumberjacks.
One bright spot for the Lumberjacks was the play of several bench players including Jake Strong and MacGregor. Strong led all ACC scorers with nine points.
"Jake Strong did a great job, played a good game," McCourt said.
Already down by a sizable margin at halftime, ACC struggled to knock down shots. Oakland outrebounded the Lumberjacks 52-44 and rarely allowed ACC second chances. For every ACC basket made, Oakland answered with three or four of its own. The Lumberjacks shot just 26 percent from the field and had too many small scoreless stretches that allowed the Raiders to pull further ahead.
McCourt lamented his team's lack of defense in the second half, noting that the Lumberjacks got away from playing effective zone defense which held Oakland in check in the first half.
"We've gotta play tough and we still haven't learned how to do that. If you can't play tough, you can't win in this league," McCourt said.
ACC will host St. Clair tonight at 7:30 p.m.

OAKLAND (82): Hayes 2 7-8 11; Pearson 3 0-0 7; Miller 6 2-7 14; Chappell 1 3-4 5; Martin 3 0-0 6; Robinson 2 1-2 5; Eubanks 2 0-0 5; Stevens 3 4-6 10; Wallace 4 0-0 8; Racicot 2 0-0 4; Wade 1 1-2 3.

Campaign Desk had a good, gallows-humor-type chuckle when we saw this stunningly un-self-aware headline on Tom Raum's Associated Press piece yesterday:
"Negative Attacks Often Prove Effective."
Were it not for pesky wire service word limits, we're sure that the second half of the headline would have read something like:
"…Thanks in No Small Measure to News Outlets Such as Cable TV — and Us."
Raum reports that "while politicians decry negative advertising and personal attacks, the bottom line is that such tactics often work." Yeah, they work particularly well on the press, in the sense that the attackers are guaranteed hours of "free media" — the endless discussion and dissection by the press corps that campaign pros know that their mud-slinging will generate.
For example, Raum observes, "the allegations that Kerry lied about his Vietnam war service — claims made in a book by one of the group's leaders and in interviews as well as in ads — have dominated the presidential race for more than a week."
Gee, why do you suppose it is that these allegations "dominated" the election discourse at the expense of issues of current import?
We're waiting for the day that the campaign press confesses to its own role in the attack ads' success — and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

With NBA trade deadline merely weeks away, the Association's rumor mill has reached the point of explosion.
Names continue to be tossed around, scenarios are proposed incessantly and games of "will they or won't they" are being played at an alarming rate.
Often lost in a 24/7 news realm is the truth. As speculation runs rampant and the number of anonymous sources seemingly multiplies, just about anything can be reported. But that doesn't mean just about anything is going to happen.
Mutual accords are hardly easy to concoct, bringing the merit of every rumor that traipses its way into the public eye under question.
To that end, not all reports are facades. Some have legitimate grounds to be explored and bought it into.
Deciphering the latter from the whimsical is an arduous task, especially with hearsay at its peak.
Yet it is possible.

I grew up in New Jersey, so the names in Stony Brook University's College World Series-bound lineup seem very familiar to me. Frankie Vanderka, Sal Intagliata and Anthony Italiano remind me of kids I knew in my hometown of Teaneck -- kids like Jimmy and Georgie Georginis, for example.
I recognize the bravado that comes with being a baseball player in the Northeast. You need it. When I ran into Georgie in a local IHOP one offseason, he came over and asked me whom he needed to call for a tryout with the Philadelphia Phillies. Even as I thought to myself, "You didn't even play in high school, and you're almost 30 years old," I let him talk. Since he was sure he could "throw 95 mph right now in these Timberland boots," I just gave him the Phillies' main office line. He probably wouldn't make a good talent evaluator, but he believed in himself, and that is something.
You also need that bravado as a team when you head down south to play college baseball. You know people are going to be skeptical about your game. They think "cold-weather teams" have been playing next to Santa's workshop in an AstroTurf igloo, and they're sure you can't really hang with them.
Well Vanderka, Intagliata and Italiano are all on the team that "shocked the world" by knocking off Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., last weekend: the Stony Brook Seawolves. I was there. I saw 11,000 LSU fans get to witness the Seawolves literally outplay their team in every facet of the game. SBU was tenacious. They wore LSU pitchers down by fouling off ball after ball. They took tough pitches, they slid hard, they took pitches in the back if need be. They didn't even bother arguing with the umps, because they either had a brother or mother in the stands that was already doing it for them, or they just knew they were going to win anyway.
I had a chance to interview their head coach, Matt Senk, along with players Brandon McNitt (from California, whoa) and Travis Jankowski. Senk had dreamed of this moment for 22 years. He's taken Stony Brook from a Division III program to the College World Series on nothing but guts, glory and vision. By 2000, he helped get them Division I status, and they've never looked back. Now everyone is looking at Stony Brook's back, as the Seawolves ran through the America East Conference and top-ranked national powerhouses such as Miami.
Their pitching staff is loaded with control guys. Tyler Johnson is a senior who is so hard-core that he threw 119 pitches on two days' rest, after throwing over 100 in his previous start. Then he turned around and shut down LSU on another 127 pitches. He nearly collapsed on the mound after the last pitch, but he gave up only one run in a complete-game win.
Jankowski, the center fielder, is the next level. First-round draft pick of the San Diego Padres. He has the California-dude look with the long hair and the eye black, but he is all business. He could have been the really smart kid with the denim jacket with a picture of his favorite metal band on the back in high school. He single-handedly baffled LSU pitchers by changing his approach at will. He would fight off pitches during eight-pitch at bats, or he would jump on the first pitch. In the end, his on-base percentage was nearly .500. This is something even Mets and Yankees fans can agree is good. He also runs everything down. He will be in the big leagues before Mariano Rivera comes back.
The Seawolves have seven players who were drafted. Seven. That is three more than the team they were supposed to lose to, LSU. The draft list includes two hard-throwing relievers, James Campbell (12th round, Dodgers) and Jasvir Rakkar (26th round, Cubs). There's Maxx Tissenbaum (11th round, Padres), who plays second base, catches everything and struck out fewer than 10 times the entire season. And Pat Cantwell (second round, Rangers), a catcher who will remind you of ex-Met John Stearns. He was hit by pitches 27 times this year. He bunts, he runs, he can throw anyone out and he leads by example. (Oh, and I found out that for breakfast, he puts as much bacon as he can on some bread and goes to town.)
I almost forgot Willie Carmona (11th round, Phillies). This is a guy you might see walking down the streets of Queens with a bat in his hands. He could be going to practice; he could not be going to practice. He also has better grades than you do. He is a stone-cold hitter from both sides of the plate. He has completely destroyed the best pitching in the country. The Most Outstanding Player in the Miami regional, Carmona hit .524 with 10 RBIs in five games. He has a cannon for an arm and could even be your closer if you need him.
But don't let me rave on about this team. Read the words of LSU's head coach, Paul Mainieri:
"Offensively, one through nine, that was the toughest lineup we have faced all year."
And just in case you are not sure the Seawolves are for real, here is what Mainieri said about their chances in Omaha:
"I would not be one bit surprised if Stony Brook goes on to win the national championship. I cannot imagine anyone in the country being better than that team. If they are, I'd like to see them."
Up here in the Northeast, we like to brag a little. But it's much better to let someone else do it for you.
Do the Seawolves have a shot against the UCLAs, Floridas and Florida States of the world?
No doubt about it. Georgie Georginis, I hope you're watching.

An annual report that assesses the status of women as business leaders in California shows only slight improvement in the number of female corporate executives.

Study Shows Female Executives In California Making Progress Slowly
An annual study on California female business leaders shows that the glass ceiling for women in business is rising, but said there's lots of work to be done before it shatters.
Amanda Kimball authored the UC Davis study. She said companies that give women leadership opportunities tend to flourish.

Three tri-county firms are among the top 25 publicly traded companies in California with the highest percentage of women leaders.

Women hold only about one in eight executive/board positions among California's top 400 public companies, but an annual University of California, Davis, study cited some incremental progress, noting that the percentage of women in top decision-making posts has increased and the number of companies with no women executives and board directors is dropping.
California Companies with More Top Women Leaders Associated with Higher Revenue and Profits, UC Davis Study Says
While women hold only one in eight of the executive and board positions in California's top 400 public companies, an annual University of California, Davis, study shows incremental progress—the percentage of women in these top decision-making posts has increased, and the number of companies with no women executives and board directors at all is dropping.

Entrepreneurship as a Career
People often think entrepreneurship is a one-idea, one-shot game: you have a great idea and you pursue it until it makes you rich or makes you run back home. That's a shame because it keeps people from exploring entrepreneurship as a career. It's like thinking the only career in music is to be frontman in a rock band. In truth, most entrepreneurs take part in multiple startups before launching their own, and they play many different roles besides the star.

Film4 FrightFest Invites New Filmmakers to TURN OFF YOUR BLOODY PHONE!
Suffice to say, the project caused such a sensation that FrightFest is doing it again, and this year they are throwing their doors open to budding filmmakers everywhere. Yes, even you! Film4 Frightfest, in association with Ne'er Do Well Films, is inviting you not only to help uphold in-theatre etiquette by reminding audience members of the dangers of using their mobiles at the festival, but at the same time, giving new filmmakers the chance to have their work shown before the 1300-strong FrightFest audience.
The competition launched today and runs until 15th July, and entries will be judged by a prestigious jury that includes writer/director James Moran (Severance, Cockneys Vs. Zombies), renowned author Christopher Fowler, FrightFest organiser Ian Rattray and Ne-er Do Well Films' Evrim Ersoy. The five best entries will screen at FrightFest 2013. For more information on competition rules, visit the FrightFest website right here, and watch the video below.
So don't delay, ladies and gentlemen moviemakers, this is an insanely cool idea and a great opportunity to get some fantastic exposure for your work. As a FrightFest attendee I can attest that it is one of the most welcoming, all-knowing, yet all-embracing horror movie-loving crowds you are ever likely to encounter, and to have anything of yours play in front of them - and at the massive Empire Leicester Square no less - is an opportunity not to be missed. So hop to it, and it could be you screaming "Turn Off Your Bloody Phone!" come the August Bank Holiday weekend!

When Mary writes lyrics like, "Never once felt you were
good enough," or "I used to sing with an empty phrase," she is
writing from a well-known vantage point. It was in those
deep, broken places that she found her voice and purpose.
Born to a mother who was not ready to be a parent and then faced with unfortunate circumstances in her adoptive home, Mary became convinced that her life on earth was a mistake. Living with the lie that she was unloved and unwanted, she learned something about running away, escaping into drugs and alcohol, making harmful painful choices, and living what you think is your dream and still feeling unfulfilled.
Though classically trained, Mary initially pursued
a career in country music, performing in clubs and joining
the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
Relishing the opportunity to hone her craft as a
singer and songwriter, in retrospect she admits that her efforts were all "very
At the invitation of two Christian co-workers, Mary, her two children and fiance attended a play that shared the truth about sin and salvation, resulting in a life-changing night where they accepted Christ as a family. Mary's daughter remembers it as the moment when we were "washed clean."
For the first time in her thirty-four years, it was clear. All the insecurities, addictions, choices and uncertainties converged with God's grace and mercy, giving her the assurance that had eluded her for so long. He would take Mary's past and transform it into a beautiful platform to reach others; though the details were still fuzzy, she knew His plans would be the only plans that would fulfill her.
Realizing that her gifts were from and for God, Mary's
advancement to public ministry began with serving as a
worship leader at The Rock Church in San Diego. God then
began to open numerous doors for her to serve in churches, at women's retreats and other
similar venues.
When a producer from her country music days reached out to her about recording a Christian album, Mary recognized the Lord's timing; He renewed her dreams as an artist and songwriter, but with a new focus: devotion to His work. Six CD's later, her efforts have progressed into full-time ministry using worship, original music, keynote messages and writing to point people directly to Jesus.
Since entering ministry in 2000, she has been honored to lead worship and share
through special
music at events with leading Bible teachers such as
Dr. David Jeremiah, Kay Arthur,
Sheila Walsh, Jen Hatmaker, Dr. Voddie Bauchum, Greg Laurie
and many others. Her work has been recognized on a national
level for both singing and songwriting, which include:
- 2014, 2013 & 2010 Inspirational Country Music (ICM) Female Vocalist of the Year Awards
- 2015, 2014 & 2013 Inspirational Country Music Top 5 Music Evangelist of the Year Nominations
- 2014 Artist Music Guild Album of the Year for "Strong"
- 3 #1 Singles on the ICM Top 100 Chart for "Strong," "Come to the Well," and "Now That I Know Love."
- 2011 Christian Women in Media President's Award
Despite the achievements, Mary knows who graciously provides each and every opportunity, recognizing that the big steps, little steps and even the missteps are critical. As she sings in Well Run Dry: "Lord, here I stand today by the well-spring of Your Love, it's stretching out as far as I can see. God please help to give someone the gift you've given to me."
Taking to heart the verse found in 1 Peter 2:9, "You have been saved to proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light," Mary's first charge in ministry is to share God's Gospel of grace and help others do the same. It is the mission of her non-profit organization and is, what she believes to be, the greatest act of love offered by a Christ follower.
also realizes that most people are looking for resolution in
some part of their life. Whether it is finding happiness,
healing, strength or purpose, they are inundated with remedies that
often leave the most powerful resource out of the equation-a
right relationship with Jesus. The world is distracting
and even deceptive. Mary understands this and is dedicated
to helping others draw near to the only One who is able to meet
and satisfy every need.
Through music, transparent personal story, and biblically-centered teaching messages, she stirs the soul, tears down walls and points people to Jesus and His Word. Mary understands that processing life through the filter of God's love and truth changes everything.
When not traveling and serving in ministry, Mary and her husband Dan enjoy a life filled with family, friends, their furry baby Isaiah, books, movies and as much laughter as possible.
The jewelry found on this website and at her resource table helps support Magpie Madness who contributes a portion of all proceeds to aiding Women's Ministry at Adavancing Native Missions. In addition, Mary enjoys working with Recovery and Healing Ministries, Pregnacy Care Centers, Foster Care programs or any Christian organization who advocates for the voiceless, at-risk and broken.
If you are planning an event, retreat or worship service and are looking for a singer, speaker or both, please visit the Booking Info page for a full list of topics or connect with Mary through the Contact page.

Fifa presidential election: 'Why 'F' is for football and not Fifa' – BBC News
11 months ago Comments Off on Fifa presidential election: 'Why 'F' is for football and not Fifa' – BBC News
Football is a simple sport. It is why it has taken hold in so many disparate cultures and environments across the world.
All you need is a ball, or an orange, or a squashed drinks can. And any sort of space – a yard, a wall, a street or field.
Its administration should be equally simple. Apply its laws. Organise its competitions. Do so with efficiency and equity.
Instead, the back room has become the bloated court. Those with the straightforward task of steering the globe's most popular and well-funded sport have left it wrecked on the rocks, an unholy mess of corruption, bribery and kickbacks.
It's Gianni Infantino's job to put things right, following the 45-year-old lawyer's election as Fifa's latest president.
That the governing bodies of so many sports have found themselves mired in the same distressed state is less a defence than a denunciation of the way so many have failed to cope with the commercial windfalls of the modern era.
Because sport has never been so rich, never been so alluring to corporate sponsorship, never held the same possibilities for political advantage by autocratic or unpopular regimes.
With that power and opportunity has come temptation. Temptation has too often been followed by weakness and venal self-interest.
Fifa, with 14 of its current and former officials and associates on FBI charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption, its long-term oligarch Sepp Blatter banned from all football-related activities for six years and Michel Platini, the man who was supposed to clean up after him, banned for the same in the wake of an ongoing Swiss criminal case.
The International Association of Athletics Federations was eviscerated by an independent commission which found "corruption was embedded" in the organisation during former president Lamine Diack's 16-year reign. Three of its senior officials were banned for life for alleged doping breaches and Russia was suspended from all international competition for its alleged involvement in widespread doping.
The International Cycling Union, under former president Hein Verbruggen, found by a 227-page report released in March 2014 to have colluded with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong to cover up his positive dope test at the 1999 Tour de France.
The International Olympic Committee, in the run up to the Winter Games at Salt Lake City, expelling six of its members for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from officials behind the city's bid in 2002.
The International Cricket Council, formerly run by N Srinivasan, who was banned from running his own national governing board by the Supreme Court of India.
Administrators should not be in the headlines. They are not the stars and they are not the reason we supporters are drawn to the sport.
But some, rather than acting as their sport's servants, have instead lived like princes: first-class travel, five-star hotels, expense accounts and grace-and-favour apartments.
That's the legal stuff. The dark matter is as breathtaking in its audacity as in its scope.
There is, of course, an alternative. And should Fifa be in need, after Friday's elections, of a simple mnemonic to ensure this fresh start does not end up rotting as the regimes of the recent past, they need only think of football, with a capital 'F'.
F is for 'Fairness'
An investigation by the Guardian newspaper in December 2014 found that Nepalese migrants building the infrastructure to host the 2022 World Cup had died at a rate of one every two days that year, despite Qatar's promises to improve their working conditions. Football, supposedly the beautiful game, can only be tarnished in the eyes of many when its governing body allows its showpiece occasion on such grim foundations.
O is for 'Overhaul'
The IOC recovered from the Salt Lake scandal, changing the way the bidding process worked for future Olympics, capping the amount IOC members could receive from potential host cities. The UCI under Brian Cookson separated its anti-doping arm from the main organisation and established an independent tribunal for doping cases. Football supporters across the world will expect a similar metamorphosis from Fifa if it is to regain their trust.
O is for 'Openness'
Fifa has never revealed Sepp Blatter's salary as president. Nor has it revealed the individual salaries of the members of its all-powerful executive committee. By contrast, the IOC, whose executive members are volunteers, now publishes exactly how much each receives in allowances and per diems. The example has been set.
T is for 'Transparency'
Fifa's election was once again a secret ballot. It should be the last. Its reforms promise an independent audit and compliance committee. The cynics would point to what happened to the investigative branch of its much heralded ethics committee, whose chairman, former United States attorney Michael J Garcia, resigned in protest when the publication of his report into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was blocked by another part of Fifa.
B is for 'Balance'
Fifa has been an organisation run by ageing men in plush corridors. All nine of its presidents have been male, so promising a minimum of six women on a new 36-member executive council is only a start. A game loved by all cannot be run by only a chosen few.
A is for 'Accountability'
Until now, Fifa has been responsible only to itself. As a self-governing body, it could virtually do as it pleased. No more. Too many too powerful organisations, from the FBI to Swiss criminal investigators, have seen too much. The old system of self-policing is gone.
L is for 'Largesse'
The 2014 World Cup cost hosts Brazil an estimated US $4bn (£2.8bn) to stage, yet Fifa made more than $2bn (£1.4bn) in profit from the tournament. Its cash reserve has leapt over the past decade from $350m (£228.6m) in 2005 to more than $1.5bn (£1bn) in 2014. It is enough to transform the game at grassroots level. Allow it to do so and Fifa would win hearts as well as minds.
L is for 'Leadership'
Blatter ran Fifa like an emperor, a Swiss sun king immune to regime change or challenge for far too long. Infantino has so far refused to criticise the outgoing man – "I respect very much all the work he did in terms of football development around the world," he said earlier this month – and also refused to reveal his salary as Uefa's general secretary. Now he has the throne, such guarded diplomacy and politicking must be superseded by governance through untouchable example.
