U.S. jobless rate falls; C. Oregon still stuck in neutral
January figures still among highest rates in state
On the same day the federal government reported a 7.7 percent unemployment rate for February, the lowest since 2008, the state Employment Department reported Friday that Central Oregon continues to have some of the state's highest jobless rates.
Seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for January saw little movement compared to December, the new report said.
Deschutes County saw no change in its seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for January, while, Crook and Jefferson counties saw a slight increase.
January's statewide unemployment rate (8.4%) and the national rate (7.9%) were essentially unchanged compared to December.
Crook County: Crook County's January seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 13.4 percent -- highest in the state -- was essentially unchanged from the revised rate of 13.3 percent in December. The unemployment rate did improve from the year-ago rate of 14 percent in January 2012.
The county dropped 100 jobs in January, a smaller decline than the loss of 120 jobs typically expected during this time of year.
The private sector lost 80 jobs over the month. Some of the largest losses were seen in Leisure and hospitality (-40); construction (-20); and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (-20). Educational and Health Services (+10) showed the only private-sector gain in January. Government shed 20 jobs over the month.
Public sector job losses were seen in the federal government (-20) and local government (-10), whereas state government gained an additional 10 jobs.
Employment declined by 10 jobs in Crook County between January 2012 and January 2013. The private sector lost 20 jobs over the year. Industries with the largest declines included trade, transportation, and utilities (-70) and leisure and hospitality (-20). Moderate year-over-year gains were seen in professional and business services (+40) and educational and health services (+20).
Deschutes County (Bend MSA): The county's January seasonally adjusted unemployment rate (10.5%) showed no change from the rate in December, but improved by 0.9 percentage points from the year-ago rate of 11.4 percent in January 2012.
Preliminary estimates from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Bend metropolitan area show a decline of 1,650 jobs in January. A loss of 1,630 jobs is the seasonal norm during this time of year.
BLS analysts estimate that private-sector employment declined by 1,480 jobs in January, while government lost 170 jobs. Between January 2012 and January 2013, estimates show that employment rose by 1,260 jobs, with a gain of 1,290 private-sector jobs and public-sector employment down by 30 jobs.
The largest year-over-year increases were seen in accommodation and food services (+710); retail trade (+510); educational and health services (+420); and mining, logging, and construction (+210).
These preliminary estimates are subject to revision as more information becomes available from employers. Annual revisions, which will occur in the spring of 2013, may also result in significant changes to Bend's employment estimates.
Jefferson County: The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Jefferson County saw a modest increase at 12.1 percent in January compared to 11.9 percent in December. However, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate did improve from the year-ago rate of 12.7 percent in January 2012.
Jefferson County lost 70 jobs in January, when a loss of 170 jobs would typically be expected. The private sector lost 70 jobs over the month with no change in government employment. There were no private-sector job gains in January. Losses were concentrated in leisure and hospitality (-30) and trade, transportation, and utilities (-20).
Jefferson County added 80 jobs between January 2012 and January 2013. The private sector gained 100 jobs over-the-year, whereas the public sector saw a reduction of 20 jobs. The largest over-the-year job gains were seen in manufacturing (+50); leisure and hospitality (+40); transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+30); and professional business services (+20). The largest losses occurred in retail trade (-30). The only public sector over-the-year employment gains were seen in Indian Tribal (+20) and State Government (+10).
Revised Employment Totals for 2012: Each year, the Oregon Employment Department, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), revises payroll employment numbers for the two prior years. For the monthly data through December 2012, original survey-based estimates were revised with universe employment counts from the Unemployment Insurance tax system.
After the benchmarking process, there was essentially no change to the 2012 annual average total nonfarm payroll employment for the Bend MSA (Deschutes County). However, several industries saw some significant revisions to their initial annual average employment estimates. Upward revisions were applied to educational and health services (+380); retail trade (+200); and professional and business services (+180). Several areas experienced significant downward revisions, particularly the public sector, as employment in State Government was revised down by 670; Local Education (-190); mining, logging, and construction (-146); accommodation and food services (-130); and Local Government excluding Education (-120).
Crook County saw a slight downward revision to its 2012 annual average nonfarm payroll employment (-110).The majority of the downward revisions for the county were concentrated in local education where the average annual employment was revised down by about 200 jobs. Several critical industries saw upward revisions, including manufacturing (+60); transportation and warehousing (+20); wholesale trade (+20); and information (+20).
Similar to the other Central Oregon counties, Jefferson County saw few major revisions to the 2012 employment totals. Overall, annual average nonfarm payroll employment was revised up by about 160 jobs. Leisure and hospitality saw the largest upward revisions with an increase to its annual average employment of about 70 jobs. Local education (+30); wholesale trade (+20); and educational and health services (+20) also saw modest upward revisions to their annual average employment. Modest downward revisions were applied to Indian Tribal (-50) and manufacturing (-20).
These estimates will be revised as new data from businesses becomes available. The next Central Oregon Employment Situation with preliminary data for February 2013 will be released on Monday, March 25th.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — It was a big night last night for some college students in the Port City. The Basic Law Enforcement Training Class graduated from Cape Fear Community College and they have a lot to be proud of.
This is the graduating class that helped solve the mystery of 83-year-old Alma Lawson who went missing on November 4th.
"We just looked around the woods and one of our classmates spotted some clothing that they thought might have been hers. Then they found her down the hill there," said class president Cory Finch.
Basic Law Enforcement Training students from CFCC helped police search for clues in Lawson's disappearance. On January 4th, the group found human remains in a pond in the Love Grove community. The medical examiner's office ruled that the death was an accidental suicide.
A graduate of the program, Alex Melgar says, "When we actually did discover the body, just yes it was a tragedy but to bring the family closure is more than anybody can ask for."
Students definitely helped Lawson's family find closure and now, they graduates are looking forward to starting their careers.

Hong Kong Stocks Jump Most in 15 Weeks as Developers GainEleni Himaras
Hong Kong stocks rose, with the benchmark index gaining the most in more than 15 weeks, as Morgan Stanley upgraded the outlook for Hong Kong stocks and amid speculation that the Chinese government may widen the yuan's trading band within the next three days.
China Resources Land Ltd., the No. 2 mainland property company traded in Hong Kong, jumped 5.4 percent as developers extended yesterday's gains. Mainland banks rose as the Hang Seng Financial index recovered from its lowest level since December, led by a 4 percent gain for Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the world's largest lender by market value. Lenovo Group Ltd., the world's No. 2 personal computer maker, advanced 9.5 percent after a report that it's in talks to buy a server business from International Business Machines Corp.
The Hang Seng Index gained 2.3 percent to 22,013.57 at the close, its biggest increase since Jan. 2. All but five stocks climbed on the 50-member gauge, with volume 18 percent above the 30-day average. For the week, daily turnover on the city's stock exchange averaged HK$60.3 billion ($7.77 billion), 16 percent less than the daily average so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The benchmark index ended the week 0.3 percent lower after almost erasing the losses of the previous four trading days. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese companies listed in the city rose 2.1 percent to 10,483.60.
'Very Minor'
"The turnover remains extremely low; I think this is only a technical factor," said Alex Wong, a Hong Kong-based director at Ample Capital Ltd. "For Chinese banks, I think this is only a recovery after the earlier sell-off because they had been under severe pressure. If you compare the rebound today to the sell off earlier, it's very minor."
Through yesterday the Hang Seng Index had fallen 5.1 percent this year, the worst performance among developed markets, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Shares on the measure traded at 10.4 times estimated earnings, compared with a five-year average of 12.3 and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index's multiple of 13.9, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Morgan Stanley raised its outlook for stocks in the MSCI Hong Kong Index to overweight, according to a report written by analyst Jonathan Garner, citing strong earnings revisions and undemanding valuations.
Mainland banks gained in Hong Kong, with Industrial & Commercial Bank up 4 percent to HK$5.26. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., the nation's No. 3 lender, rose 3.8 percent to HK$3.53. China Construction Bank Corp., the No. 2 lender on the mainland, added 3.7 percent to HK$6.24.
'Near Future'
China may expand the range within which it lets the yuan trade, timing the move during the Group of 20 nations meetings in Washington this week, UBS analysts Manik Narain and Geoffrey Yu wrote in a note after central bank Deputy Governor Yi Gang signaled policy makers will loosen control over the currency. The trading band will be widened "in the near future," Yi said during the International Monetary Fund meeting April 17.
"The market is expecting the renminbi will have better performance and that will attract more liquidity to the Hong Kong stock market," Lewis Wan, Hong Kong-based chief investment officer at Pride Investments Group Ltd., which oversees about $250 million.
Chinese developers extended yesterday's gains. China Resources Land jumped 5.4 percent to HK$23.35, while China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd., the largest mainland property company traded in Hong Kong, rose 5.8 percent to HK$23.75.
Property Prices
Home prices in China's tier-1 cities may rise 10 percent, while property prices nationwide might rise as much as 5 percent this year, Haibin Zhu, chief China economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said yesterday. Mainland developers climbed yesterday as new home prices jumped in all but two cities after local governments announced milder-than-expected property measures and targets.
Mining companies gained as global commodity prices rebounded. Jiangxi Copper Co., the country's biggest producer of the metal, rose 3.2 percent to HK$15.38. Zijin Mining Group Co., the biggest mining company in China by value, rose 2.7 percent to HK$2.29. Gold producer Zhaojin Mining Industry Co. added 3.7 percent to HK$8.42.
Lenovo gained 9.5 percent to HK$7.06, the biggest gain on the Hang Seng Index, amid speculation it will buy a server unit from IBM. The division, which sells servers running x86 processors, may fetch $2.5 billion to $4.5 billion, depending on what assets and liabilities are included, said a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the negotiations are private.
Technology, Finance
China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd., the nation's second-largest mobile-phone company, surged 7.3 percent to HK$10.26, while China Telecom Corp., a wireless carrier, climbed 3.9 percent to HK$3.77 after the companies were rated overweight by Morgan Stanley. China Everbright Ltd. soared 8.6 percent and Citic Securities Co. jumped 7 percent after UBS AG raised ratings on the brokerages. Growth in the industry's margin-financing balance accelerated in the first quarter, UBS said.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.6 percent. The gauge yesterday fell 0.7 percent as earnings from UnitedHealth Group Inc. to EBay Inc. disappointed investors, a measure of manufacturing in the Philadelphia region expanded at a slower pace and the Conference Board's index of U.S. leading economic indicators unexpectedly declined for the first time in seven months.
Hang Seng Index futures rose 2.2 percent to 22,004. The HSI Volatility Index fell 2.9 percent to 17.17, its biggest drop in a month, indicating traders expect a swing of 4.9 percent for the equity benchmark in the next 30 days.

Baby porcupines almost made it into Martha Stewart's coveted (amongst sentient spices) "SPICE-OF-THE-WEEK". Alas the sample was tainted by porcupine smegma, denied it's rightful place in the annals of spice history, and eventually turned to drugs and bad music to ease the pain of looking like a cross between Steve Buscemi and a chernobyl survivor. This substance is now known as baby porcupine juice
I was trying to sautee these baby porcupines, because they go good with fried friendly whale, but the randy little wanker's got their baby porcupine juice on my hands...Ack! It tasted like a combination of bleach, Zima, and Barbara Bush's neck...now please excuse me while i rinse out the taste with napalm.

My doctor treated a facial wound with a fat transfer about a month ago. My wound was 6 months old at the time, and had left scarring and discoloration. He said the "stem cells" from the procedure will give me a nearly full recovery in 6 months. He said I will have to look very closely to see any difference from how I looked before. Is this true? The wound was the result of skin necrosis from a partial vial of Radiesse.
Fat Transfer to Treat Facial Wound
Doctor Answers 4
Fat injections and wound healing
We do see after fat injections and other volumizers such as Sculptra, a healthy epidermal rejuvenation often. This has been shared among many of my colleagues although I am not familiar with any scientific studies measuring laboratory evidence of such. Usually the fat will improve indentations, and the surface change aftern necrosis can resolve at times, without fat injections, beautifully. Other times, there is atrophy, white or brown discoloration or even redness from capillaries. Special dressings, topical therapy and lasers can help the texture and coloration of such wound healing but there are cases of long term changes. Skin often improves over 18 months of injury. Make sure you use a very protective sunscreen EVERY day, rain or shine for at least a year. Sun is the scar's enemy.

Scar after radiesse
did you say you got a scar after radiesse? was it done by the person telling you the scar will go away with "stem cells"? just got back from boston, ASAPS (aesthetic plastic surgery society meeting). someone presented photos of grafting fat to scars with impressive results. however there was no control and that is simply not science. beware of folks who purport to have a "special" technique or results that have not been replicated by other surgeons. if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. scars are permanent. they definitely improve with time. there is no reason to treat a scar before a year, at least not with a surgical treatment. good luck.
Fat transfer and scars
Dear Scarred,
It depends on what your scar looks like. For depressed scars, a fat transfer can help lift the scar to eliminate a shadow and make the scar blend in. There are other options, including scar revision, which may help you. It depends where the scar is located to see what can be done.
The stem cells still have not been proven in rigorous medical research. It is hypothetical at this time. We just hear from our patients how happy they are after fat transfer and how their skin looks better as well.

Stem cell treatment is nothing now but a gymic every one is using for every thing. It has a future, but now we do not have the technology to easily and cheaply isolate stem cells. With fat transfer there is a lot of stem cells, however we have no clue what role they play or what happens to them.

At first i noticed it in 5th cruzing at low RPM's and thought this may be the reason but then noticed it from 2nd and on. Any thoughts as to why this may be happening?? Is it the cold weather?

Motorists driving through Pandora today and tomorrow are again being asked to take care, be patient and be prepared to expect slight delays as two sports events are staged.
Last Sunday the first of five events in the Shed 2 Triathlon series got under way, and today the Ironmaori children's Duathlon and youth Triathlon will be taking place, with the Ironmaori Half-Ironman being staged tomorrow.
Both events will be held on State Highway 2 and SH2B (the Hawke's Bay Expressway), and on some local streets and roads in the Pandora area.
"Extra care by motorists will be required in the Pandora area, at the Expressway Estuary Bridge and at the Expressway/Prebensen Drive roundabout," a New Zealand Transport Agency spokesman said.
Marshalls will be in place and stop-go traffic management will be operating at some sites, with minor delays expected.
On SH2 between Napier and Gisborne cycleway construction is being carried out at the southern end of Bay View, while bridge repairs are under way at the northern end of Whirinaki Beach near Tangoio where there are likely to be temporary traffic signals.
Minor delays can be expected.
Delays are also likely at various sites on SH2 between Napier and Dannevirke as road reconstruction and maintenance and road sealing crews will be working between Pakipaki and the Takapau Plains.
On SH2B, the expressway between Westshore and Prebensen Drive, cable laying is under way as well as retrofit work and guardrail barrier repairs at the Estuary Bridge. There are likely to be minor delays.
Pavement maintenance crews are working on stretches of SH5 between Te Pohue and Tarawera, while drainage maintenance and road sealing crews can be expected between Napier and Tikokino and the Takapau Plains on SH50 between Napier and Dannevirke.
"Extra care and patience will be required at these sites and delays can be expected."

Meatless any day of the week
Many vegetarians start out the way I did: as 14-year-old girls. Quite a few also end the way I did: with fried chicken. In my case, vegetarianism was a brief fling, weighed down by the earnest food of the post-commune early '70s. When I tried to share sprouted-wheat-soy-lentil loaves and the like, my friends and family always felt there was something (flavor, meat) missing.
Related: Flavor-Packed Meatless Meals in 30 Minutes or Less
Now, eating vegetarian—whether casually or as a committed life choice—is more mainstream than ever. Today's meatless meals are fully fleshed-out, flavorful and family-friendly. There's even a resurgence of the "Meatless Monday" movement that has attracted high-profile supporters, such as Sir Paul McCartney, Chef Mario Batali and the city of San Francisco.
Related: Meatless Mondays: 20+ Vegetarian Recipes You Must Try
The idea of "Meatless Monday" actually goes back to Herbert Hoover. When he promoted it to help conserve food during World War I, 10 million families signed on. The concept and pledge were resurrected a few years ago by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for a Livable Future. And for good reasons:
- According to meatlessmonday.com, a Harvard study found that replacing sources of saturated fat (meat, for instance, and full-fat dairy) with foods that are plump with polyunsaturated fat (vegetable oils, nuts, seeds) reduces the risk of heart disease by 19 percent. Related: Slimming Vegetarian Dinners
- Worldwide meat production accounts for nearly one-fifth of all the greenhouse gases—that's even more than we can blame on cars.
The EatingWell Test Kitchen has been perfecting meatless recipes for years. So now, as much as I still love a nice chicken dinner, with recipes like Sweet Potato Fritters with Smoky Pinto Beans (pictured), I'm finding it easy to go meatless any day of the week.

Healthy Precautions: Turning 26 Under Obamacare
I am 25 and healthy, and have scheduled 10 doctor appointments since January. A smorgasbord of nonexistent ailments propel me to these offices under one guiding principle: In eight months I will turn 26—and be off my parent's health insurance.
At that point, my mind and body will be mine to care for, no safety net shimmering in the sun of prolonged childhood to catch me below. So, when do we millennials become adults? I say about the time we cross into our mid-20s and purchase our first Groupon for $50 off of an annual optometric exam.
I have argued that on this issue alone, young adults who voted for the president in this past election were well justified. This act is important for the millions of college graduates each year who might otherwise have been at least temporarily uninsured. The Commonwealth Fund reported that "[n]early two of five young adults ages 19-29 were without health insurance for all or part of 2011..." and "60 percent said they did not get needed health care because of cost…" Currently the law only benefits those up to the age of 26, but it seems this cut-off may not be enough. Voting for reelection means that just maybe term two will bring an extension.
Until then, I'm on a cavity hunt. My dentist monitors my horrendous teeth (I brush, I swear; it's genetic), marking certain ones "to watch." My smart mother, a pediatric auditor at Columbia Medical Center, suggested I stop watching and have those addressed while I'm still covered for dental, which many office policies do not include. "You're the first to ask," my dentist said when I suggested we fill those bad boys before 2014. I bet I won't be the last.
There is, however, still much confusion surrounding the law. Most people I speak with are unsure if it is until, or through, your 26th year (sadly, it's until). Many others assert that if their personal employer offers insurance, they are then not eligible as dependents to remain on a parent's plan (according to the U.S. Department of Labor, this will change in 2014). "I'll just have to get married before 26. Any takers?" I quip to my parents, who wouldn't mind at all if I did just that. But in truth, it is worth pausing to consider what advantages marriage might have offered those of us making this transition solo. These quandaries do not stem from a lack of ambition. Say I want to work at a great part-time job while taking computer-programming courses to help me switch careers? No problem! If my husband's job or school would cover me. Otherwise, at 26 I am limited in my options for how to advance or change my career path. Not exactly insurmountable (hello, night classes), but in the currency of career advancement, options are power.
Then again, maybe if I wear an Urban Outfitters T-shirt emblazoned with the president's face tucked under my interview blazer and hope really hard, I might be able to continue swinging that gilded trapeze a little longer. Call it coddling, but when it comes to my health, I'd rather be an insured emerging adult than an uninsured adult for as long as possible.

El apartamento esta ubicado fenomenal, tanto para ir andando a la Ciudad del Vaticano como para ir al centro. Hay una parada de metro bastante cerca, un supermercado a la vuelta de la esquina y hasta un Mercado de comida fresca .
La zona además es muy bonita y con restaurantes de todo tipo.
Lo único que nos sorprendió era que no tuviesemos ningun sitio para colgar la ropa por lo que tuvimos que tener durante toda la estancia la ropa dentro de la maleta y al final termina todo descolocado .
Alessandro y Laura fueron muy amables y atentos, aún con el inconveniente de los armarios , repetiriamos.
Un apartamento situado muy cercano al Vaticano y al Castillo del Santo Ángel. Muy renovado y para aquellos que les guste el arte, decorado con mucho gusto, acorde con el barrio. Los propietarios ponen a disposición del inquilino una magnífica librería especializada en arte. Dispone de televisión con canales vía satélite, wifi, dos cuartos de baño y las dos habitaciones disponen de camas anchas y cómodas. En la acera de enfrente se sitúa un supermercado SPAR muy útil.
Por mencionar algún pero, Roma es una ciudad ruidosa y eso se nota por las noches, pero generalmente uno está tan cansado de ver cosas que duerme como un lirón.

We had a beautifull week in this little paradise.To reach the house you need a four wheel car because the road could not be used by our little fiat500.
The view is magnificent.
Very nice couple, flat is big enough for 3 people, well-equipped kitchen, nice balcony, very quite area.
What WOULD have been nice on top:
WIFI internet, a quick introduction to the public transportation (which can be a bit confusing in Rome) and the nearest stations.
Trastevere is rather about 20-25 minutes by feet. Also, the mattress in one of the rooms was quite old and uncomfy.
Still, all in all, a good experience and to be recommended!!
A very nice, conmfortable apartment, with room enough for a family of four. The residential apartment building is very well kept and Manuela, the congierge, makes sure it stays that way. A perfect place to discover Rome. The apartment is conviently located , close to a metro station and a tram station. The neighbourhood is quiet (which is rare in Rome), but within minutes you are in one of the districts where it all happens, Travestere. The hosts Laura and Alex speak perfect English and are very helpful with tips to make the stay even more pleasant, so we definitely will recommend this apartment.
We`ve had four very nice days in Roma. The appartment is very comfortable, completely equipped and only 5min away from the next bus or train station. The centre of Roma and the St. Peters basilika can be reached in 15min. All good ... we will come back again :-)
And last but not least, Laura is a very pleasant person who gave us support wherever needed. Thanks Laura.
We stayed for 5 days in the very fresh apartment, in a quite area. We had the rented car so it was easy to get around to different sites of Rome, but we dont know about the local communications was available. The house were on a hilly part so I guess there should have been some walking distance to reach bus, Metro etc. Inside and outside the apartment was clean and tidy. The house had some receptionista at the entrance daytime. We enjoyed to use the small balcony early mornings and late evenings, calm and quite. At least space for 4 persons to take the breakfast. We were lucky with the weather as it was closing 30 C most of the days. We met the apartment owners, and they were very friendly and helpful. The apartment gave a spacious impression, including 3 bedrooms, and the living room. The TV set did not work, but we did not actually have the time to use that. There was no Internet available, which is a bit difficult to live without, but we managed anyway. Surfing on mobile phone, is a bit expensive if you are in a foreign country. So overall, we will consider coming back to Rome and this apartment, for sure
Nice and clean and well decorated appartement. Easy to feel at home. Lots of room. We spent the week with 5 persons (2 parents and 3 young girls) and there's enough room for everyone. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living. So, we could quietly enjoy a glass of wine in the living room when the children were (finally) asleep! Situated is a quiet area of Rome. There is a small supermarket around the corner. Trastevere is at 15-20min walking distance, the other places require a bus or metro.
Three of us spent great time in Rome in the apartament of Laura and Alex. The apartament is beautiful, very spacious, comfortable, located in a beautiful building in a very peaceful and nice surroundings . We met only Laura - she is a great person, very helpful, beautiful and nice. She prepared for au a lot of materials, information and guidelines bery useful during our visit. There were no problems with communication as she speaks great English (apart from perfect Italian of course). We also could count on help in case of any problems - the concierge Emanuela was always there to help with everything. It would be great to come back there again. Karolina, Kasia and Kasia.
It is a very nice apartment that has everything that you need for cooking etc., situated in a quiet welcoming area. Good restaurants and bakery not far from the apartment. Only backdraw is, if you are unable to walk and use public transport, it is a bit far from the main attractions.

Barclays Says Sell Expedia, Sees 20% Downside
Shares of Expedia (EXPE) were falling 1.2% in recent trading following a downgrade from Barclays.
Today, analyst Anthony DiClemente lowered his rating on the stock to Underweight with a $34 price target, about 19.6% below the stock's current price.
DiClemente wrote in a note that the Street is overly optimistic about the company's previous quarterly results and share repurchase plan, and that growth may be challenged ahead.
Read highlights from his report below:
On the heels of a 31% rise in EXPE since 1Q12 earnings (vs SPX -0.1%), we are downgrading to 3-Underweight. While we came out of 1Q12 incrementally positive and maintain our $34 price target, we would avoid EXPE at present based on:
1) Pricing: We think the Street is overly optimistic on the potential for Expedia's new platform to deliver continued "high-quality" growth as we believe domestic hotel transaction growth is being driven by deep discounting and at the expense of margins. Revenue per room-night was down 6% in 1Q12, and while EXPE pointed to a mix shift toward lower price rooms in Asia, we believe some of the weakness also came from continued discounting as EXPE's gap between ADR and revenue per room night growth has risen to 6-7% over the last 3 quarters, above its 7+ year average of ~3%.
2) Buybacks: Excitement around the new 20M share buyback program and the speed of repurchases may be aggressive as (a) EXPE only has ~$1.9B in cash in the U.S. today, of which ~$1.6B does not really belong to it as it is coming from Deferred Merchant Bookings, (b) EXPE may need to hold on to some cash to be acquisitive in new geographies, and (c) it would cost EXPE ~$850M to repurchase 20M shares at current price, expensive vs. the $300M of cash EXPE actually "owns" in the U.S. today.
3) Valuation: Current valuation on Expedia of ~8x 2012 guided EBITDA of $746M (5% Y/Y FY12 EBITDA growth at the midpoint) improved ~2 full turns versus the ~6x on guided EBITDA Expedia was trading at going into 1Q12 earnings, which is material multiple expansion in light of the actual improvement in 1Q in which full year EBITDA guidance did not change, the EBITDA beat was largely driven by a $17M one time selling & marking efficiency, and comps and FX should be significant headwinds in 2Q. Also, 1Q only typically represents 10-15% of EBITDA for the full year.

Remember that awesome "Schoolhouse Rock" jingle about how a bill becomes a law? ("I'm just a bill. Yes, only a bill. And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.")
That song made its debut in 1975. The world needed a new way to understand how a bill becomes a law. And that's where the Sunlight Foundation comes in. Sunlight's Drew Vogel searched more than 60,000 bills over the past four Congresses to explore the various paths that bills take to becoming laws (or at least trying to become laws). Here's his chart (click on the image for a bigger version).
So, yeah, it's a little more complicated than "Schoolhouse Rock" made it seem.

It's still early, but if the reports from the MVSA meeting reports are anything to go by people are more supportive of Fenty than Gray, or more accurately, people are less enthused by Gray. Apparently Vincent Gray failed to make an appearance at the meeting, which folks were fine with, but the staff member sent was a disaster. The staffer was unfamiliar with MVSq/Shaw and was from Tenlytown. There is no shame in being from Tenlytown. However, know your hoods. Congress Heights is not Anacostia. Brookland is not Brightwood. And Mt. Vernon Square is not some other random part of NW.
Anyway, the staffer was more familiar with Wards 3 and 7. Not so great for a meeting with residents in Ward 2. And it seems there was a fair amount of Fenty bashing from the staffer which was a turn off. One commenter mentioned that the candidate was only as good as the people he has working under him. Considering Rhee comes with Fenty, I guess I endorse Fenty.
Seriously, it doesn't matter what I think because I'm not a registered Democrat, so I can't vote for him the in the election that matters. Add to it that I'm even less enthused about the mayoral candidates. It's like a contest between shyte and crap. For all the things I dislike from the Fenty camp, with the J.F. Cook school for one, I do appreciate the turn around with the school system and the making government a little bit more open and web friendly. But this is not a ringing endorsement or love-fest, Fenty is no longer a bald hot cup of cocoa. He's just bald. And really campaigning on the fact that one is not Fenty isn't that great. I'm not Fenty and that wouldn't qualify me as a candidate. If you can't stand either write in Jack Evans, just to torture the poor man. Heck write in his name for both mayor and council chair, because if the mayoral contest is bad the one for chair is a choice between unripe fruit and something too rotten to compost.

Date of Stay: November, 2013
We stopped here to find our sick dog a vet and ended up staying over Thanksgiving weekend, and sharing a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for park guests provide by the owners. New sites are large cement pads with plenty of space between RVs. Owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. This hidden gem has large pond with resident friendly geese and ducks that grace the landscape. We will definitely return.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
Great stop! Easy on/off I-81 for overnight or a week. So peaceful with all the ducks, geese and swans (black and white) on the pond. A giant grassy field surrounded by beautifully landscaped trees add to the pond's appeal. Long pull-throughs with great 50 amp power and easy connections. Wi-Fi seems strong and pretty fast, too. Good restaurant (Country Pride) a half-mile away at the Davy Crockett Truck Stop. Shop for needed items at the Family Dollar Store next door. Just an ideal stop. We came for a night and stayed a week.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
We stopped in here after last visiting 3 years ago. Wow! What a difference. The new owner has completely revamped much of the park and is still at work making it better. New landscaping, lead-ins to your site and a renovated club house and store really perk the park up. Lots of RV supplies in the store, too. There are two dog runs and a new dogie wash station. Since the park is out of the city the views are great and the road noise minimal. Easy on and off I-80, too. This has become our favorite park in the Winnemucca area. We'll be back.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
What a treat! We stopped in for a week to get out of the holiday hustle and bustle, and found a true little private oasis. We do like uncrowded out-of-the-way places. Very nice owners, and we were invited to the park's free thanksgiving dinner by the pool for RVing guests. Wonderful dinner and friendly park residents (many here for the winter). It will be a memorable stay, away from the cities. We will return if traveling by on I-8 (AZ Exit 67).
Date of Stay: May, 2007
Expensive park, unfriendly management and extra charges for everything. Will not allow pet fences but dogs off leashes running wild everywhere. Will not stay again.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
Good park for overnight stay off I-80. Not a real picturesque park (mountain views all around) but easy on and easy off the Interstate. Not recommended for RVs over 40 feet unless you unhook. We came in at forty feet-towing and didn't have to unhook, a nice feature. Relatively quiet in front of park away from I-80. Park store has groceries, drinks, ice cream and some RV supplies. All in all, not a bad place for a stopover. This is our second stay and we will come back.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
Lovely quiet little park for getting off of the 101. Little known fact: Park adjoins ranch where Seabiscuit the race horse was born and raised. Nice people in office, clean restrooms and big laundry. We would return.
Date of Stay: October, 2005
This beautiful park is the highest-altitude KOA in the world at 10,000+ feet. Skies are crystal clear for stargazing and campfires fill the crisp night air. Bring your telescopes. Since the park has stair-stepped sites, your neighbor is below you and you can see forever. Nice on-site store with essentials and a few RV supplies. Hot tub for working out the aches from climbing Trachyte Knob, a 3500 foot peak, directly behind the park on BLM land. This is a must-visit park for trailers, tents, cabins or 40+' foot motorhomes (We camped here in a 40' motorhome). Lots of room for hiking, climbing or just watching eagles soar overhead. No pool. Five easy miles to Cripple Creek with 19 very loose casinos.

BUZZ-India's Jubilant Life Sciences jumps on Q4 profit surge
** Shares of Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd rise as much as 12.8 pct to 762 rupees
* BSE index gains 0.79 pct; NSE ends 0.77 pct higher * Bank shares rise on rate cut expectations * Metal shares advance on hopes of higher realisations By Abhishek Vishnoi MUMBAI, Jan 1 Indian shares rose on Tuesday after the U.S. averted the looming 'fiscal cliff' in a last-minute deal with hopes of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India beginning to gather steam, leading to gains in bank shares. Analysts say with the New Year Day holidays, U.S. Congress still has time to draw up legislation and backdate it to avoid the harsh fiscal measures including tax hikes and spending cuts, which many fear could cripple the world economy in 2013. While Indian stocks are expected to remain firm in January tracking expectations of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, negative local fundamentals, namely twin deficits and sticky inflation, may limit the outperformance in the near term. "While the macro environment both domestically and globally does not inspire much confidence, at the micro level things are looking good," said Atul Kumar, Senior Fund Manager at Quantum Asset Management Company Pvt. Ltd. The fiscal deficit is likely to exceed the target set by the government due to higher subsidy burden, which can also turn into a constraint for the RBI to cut rates, added Kumar. The benchmark BSE index rose 0.79 percent, or 154.10 points, to end at 19,580.81 after earlier hitting its highest level intraday since Apr. 27, 2011. The broader NSE index rose 0.77 percent, or 45.75 points, to end at 5,950.85. Option traders see the probability of the 50-stock index or Nifty inching closer to 6,200 levels in the January derivative series which ends on Jan. 31. Banking stocks including ICICI Bank rose on expectations of a cut in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India in January. ICICI Bank ended up 1.8 percent, while State Bank of India ended 1.7 percent higher. Shares in Indian steel companies including Tata Steel gained on expectations of better realisations as China plans to scrap a 40 percent export duty on metallurgical coke, a steelmaking raw material, from Tuesday. Tata Steel gained 2.3 percent while Jindal Steel and Power ended 3 percent higher. Shares in Glenmark Pharmaceuticals gained 1.9 percent after U.S. health regulators approved Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd's drug to treat diarrhoea in HIV/AIDS patients on qantiretroviral therapy, a combination of medicines used to treat HIV infection. Aurobindo Pharma Ltd rose 2.14 percent after it said in a statement that it has got final approvals from U.S. FDA for Rizatriptan Benzoate tablets and the product is ready for launch. However, among stocks that fell, oil marketing companies fell on fading hopes of a hike in diesel price any time soon, dealers said. Indian Oil Corp. fell 1.2 percent while Hindustan Petroleum Corporation ended 0.4 percent lower.

Growing In Christ - 40 Days To Deeper Faith
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." — Luke 2:11-12
àSEE HIM
The Birth of Jesus
|Picture Credit: Back to the Bible, Lincoln, Nebraska
It doesn't seem like a suitable place for the King of kings: the animals, the filth, the smells, the flies, the dusty scratchy hay—and having a feeding trough, of all things, for a crib! But God, in His infinite love, chooses the humblest possible surroundings. No one can accuse Jesus of not knowing hardship and pain.
As Mary studies the face of her baby, she isn't just looking at a precious child; she's peering into the face of her Lord—His Majesty. Mary knows she's holding God in her arms. So this is the One the angel told me about.
She remembers what the angel had told her: "You are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." 1
But at this very moment, baby Jesus looks like anything but a king. His face is reddish and prunelike. His cry, though strong and healthy, is still the helpless and piercing cry of a baby. 2 And He is absolutely dependent upon Mary for His well-being. 3
The sky above the manger is torn open with a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and promising peace on earth to those who please Him: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."4
As the angel choir withdraws into heaven, the sheepherders talk it over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us." They leave, running, and find Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing is believing. They tell everyone they meet what the angels said about this child. All who hear the sheepherders are impressed.' 5
Meanwhile, Mary remains as obedient as ever.6
è HEAR HIM
Explore the Word: Luke 2:1-20
Two things strike me (Arnie) as I read this passage:
I can't help thinking about the stigma of being an unwed mother in the early Jewish culture. Imagine the angry stares and cruel remarks from those you once thought were friends. In spite of the fact that Mary's world has been forever altered in extraordinary ways, she remains committed to God's plan.
Second, it's not to the kings, or to the great intellectual-As, or even to the celebrities that God sends the ultimate birth announcement. Instead, the Creator of the universe first shares His great joy with simple, humble shepherds. [Apparently high positions don't impress Him very much!)
No beauty. "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him" (Isaiah 53:2).
No reputation. The Bible describes Jesus as one who
"made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness" (Philippians 2:7).
No sin. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21).'
è KNOW Him
· Meet the God of wonder. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. . . . His name shall be called.... Wonderful" (Isaiah 9:6 KJV). Even now He is working in just as amazing ways as when He created heaven and earth. Our challenge to you in the days ahead: Strive to get the full picture of Jesus and be attracted to Him with new awe and new wonder.
· Work It Out: When you think of Jesus, what images come to mind? Are you attracted to Him with awe and wonder? (Please explain.)
· Focus on Christ's image. His beauty comes from the inside out. His eyes radiate with unlimited peace; His smile speaks of incomprehensible joy. Most of all, His heart beats with boundless love.
* Work It Out: Do the negative opinions of skeptics sometimes shake your faith? (Please explain.) Are you able to stick with what God says is right. . .even in the face of doubters?
• Pray: "Lord, guide me today; help me know the purpose , You have created just for me."
Ask Jesus to give the kind of obedience that Mary demonstrated. Ask Him to focus your vision on His boundless love.

Old Testament WORDS for Today
Old Testament WORDS for Today
By Warren W. Wiersbe
(President Back to the Bible)
Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die."
Genesis 3:4
Warren W. Wiersbe the author of this book in its Preface Says:
Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:19
"If you know how to select them, five words can express unforgettable, life-changing thoughts.
Thomas Jefferson put five words in the Declaration of Independence that declared liberty for the American colonies: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Abraham Lincoln quoted those five words in his famous Gettysburg Address.
"A specter is haunting Europe" are the words Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels chose to open their Communist Manifesto, a small book whose message changed the map of Europe.
On June 18, 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill heartened the British people with a speech that concluded with five unforgettable words: "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Commonwealth and its Empire lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, `This was their finest hour.'"
The Bible contains many memorable five-word statements that are "living and powerful" (Heb. 4:12), inspired words that the Holy Spirit can use to direct us in today's chaotic world. In this book, I have provided meditations based on one hundred of these phrases as they are found in the Old Testament, using the New King James Version of the Scriptures. I trust that as you meditate on God's Word and ponder my words, the Spirit of God will enlighten you and encourage you, enabling you to discover the will of God and enjoy doing it."
Here is a page from this treasure:
Don't give Satan a foothold. One of Adam's responsibilities was to "keep" the garden (Gen. 2:15), which means to guard it. It's the same word used in Genesis 3:24, "to guard the way to the tree of life." It seems that Adam was not with his wife at that time, so she was an easier target for the evil one. Ephesians 4:27 warns us not to "give place to the devil," for all he needs is a small foothold and he can begin to wage war. Even today, his servants stealthily creep in and cause trouble (2 Tim. 3:6; Jude 4). Cultivating a lustful or unkind thought can provide a foothold, and so can deliberately re-fusing to do God's will.
Don't listen to Satan's offers. Satan is a counterfeiter and a masquerader who never reveals his true nature. He can even come as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14) and lead us astray. We can tell when Satan is at work because he questions God's Word and encourages us to deny the authority of Scripture, asking us, "Has God indeed said . . . ?" Satan first questions the Word, then denies the Word, then substitutes his own lies. Our reply must be, "Yes, God did say, and I am going to respect it!" We must immediately turn to the Lord in prayer and seek his wisdom. He will remind us of what we have learned from the Scriptures and we can use the sword of the Spirit to defeat Satan, as Jesus did when Satan attacked him (Eph. 6:17; Matt. 4:1-11). It's important that we hide God's Word in our hearts, because this will enable us to overcome him (Ps. 119:11).
Remind yourself of God's rich blessings. A temptation is Satan's offer to give you something he claims that God hasn't given you. When Satan tempted Jesus, he suggested, "Your Father just said you were his beloved son. If he loves you, why are you hungry?" The warnings against temptation found in James 1:12-15 are followed by reminders that we are the recipients of God's good and perfect gifts (vv. 16-18). A temptation is Satan's cheap substitute for the real gifts from heaven, the Father has given us. The devil wanted Jesus to transform stones into bread, but Jesus preferred the nourishing bread of life, the Word of God (Matt. 4:4).
First Timothy 2:14 reminds us that Eve was deceived by Satan, but when Adam showed up, he sinned with his eyes wide open because he wanted to remain with his wife. It was his deliberate disobedience that plunged the human race into sin and judgment (Rom. 5:12-21). It was our Lord's obedience and death on the cross that saved us from condemnation and made us the children of God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7
And take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:17

You Can't Run Away From Problems
You Can't Run Away From Problems
By Warren W. Wiersbe
(Ruth 1:1-5)
|The First Edition Cover Page
Two mighty forces are at work in the world today. One force is pulling everything apart, while the other force is seeking to put things back together again. Sin is the destroyer, but Jesus Christ is the builder.
So many people need to put their lives together today! Their lives and homes are being pulled apart, and their jobs are in jeopardy. For these people, everything seems to be crashing down around them. They are falling apart physically, mentally, socially, financially and, most of all, spiritually. In the Old Testament book of Ruth, we have a vivid account of two widows—one young and the other old—who were able to put their lives together and find happiness and fulfillment in the will of God.
In chapter 1 of Ruth, everything is falling apart. Naomi and her family made some mistakes. People today are making these same mistakes. Let me survey the first chapter for you, and then we will look at the first mistake that Naomi and her family made and the reasons behind it.
Ruth 1:1-5 reveals the family's first mistake. They were trying to run away from their problems. Bethlehem-Judah was experiencing a famine. Naomi, her husband and two sons packed up and went to Moab to avoid the famine and other problems. But in Moab they only found more problems!
The second mistake that Naomi made was trying to cover up her disobedience (vv. 6-18). She tried to send her two daughters-in-law back home so they would not come to Bethlehem with her and be evidence that she had disobeyed God. First, she ran away from her problems, and then she tried to cover her sins and hide them.
The third mistake that Naomi made is found in verses 19 through 22. She became bitter against God. Ruth went back to Bethlehem with Naomi, but Naomi was a bitter woman. The name "Naomi" means "pleasant," but she was not at all pleasant! She said, "Call me not Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me" (v. 20). The name "Mara" means "bitter." It comes from the same word as myrrh, the bitter perfume that was used for embalming.
If you want to destroy your life, then make these same three mistakes: try to run away from your problems, try to cover up your disobedience, and become bitter against God. I guarantee that if you will take these three steps, your life will begin to fall apart.
"Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi, and the name of his two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-Judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. And they took themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other, Ruth; and they dwelt there about ten years. Arid Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them; and the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband" (vv. 1-5).
The scene is now set. A famine has come upon the people of Israel. Instead of trusting God to provide, this family chooses to pack up and go to Moab. They decide to run away from their problems rather than facing them.
Why do people try to run away from their problems? Let me suggest several possible reasons.
|Indian Edition Cover Page
One reason why this family ran from their problems is because they were living by sight and not by faith. In comparing their life in Bethlehem with life in Moab, they made the mistake of only looking at the situation from a human point of view. When they looked at Bethlehem, they only saw hunger and pain, while Moab appeared to be the land of plenty.
From God's point of view, their decision was wrong. Moab was a heathen land, and the Moabites worshiped false gods. They were the enemies of God and of Israel. God had said in Deuteronomy 23:3, "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord forever."
The Ammonites and the Moabites were the descendants of Lot as the result of an act of incest (see Gen. 19:30-38). When Lot was delivered from Sodom, he and his daughters lived in a cave. His daughters made him drunk and then committed incest with him. The sons born to these women became the fathers of the nations of Ammon and Moab, and these nations became the enemies of the people of God. From God's point of view, Elimelech and his family were leaving home and going to reside with, and depend on, the enemy.
The name "Bethlehem" means "house of bread." Judah can be translated "praise," while Ephratah means "fruitful." Bethlehem was called Bethlehem-Ephratah. As this family looked at the "fruitful house of bread," they could only see famine and barrenness. The sound of complaining filled the land of "praise." Elimelech said to Naomi, "The wisest thing we can do is leave." If you are living by sight and not by faith, difficult situations look hopeless to you. Running away seems like the best solution.
Why didn't they just trust God? God had made it very clear in His Law that if His people obeyed Him, He would bless them. We are told in Deuteronomy 28 that famines were a discipline from God. God promised to send the harvest, the rain and the sunshine—all that was needed—if His people would obey Him. Instead of running away, the people should have run to God, bowed down, confessed their sin and asked for His forgiveness.
When you start living by sight and not by faith, then you will start running away from your problems and sins instead of trusting. God to help you overcome them. You will try to find an easy way out of a difficult situation.
Living for the Physical—Not the Spiritual
A second reason why people run away from their problems is because they are living for the physical and not for the spiritual. Some people may argue, "Well, these people had to live!" I would rather be hungry in the will of God than full and satisfied out of the will of God.
|Back Cover Page
The first temptation that Satan presented to the Lord Jesus was a choice between the physical and the spiritual. Our Lord had just spent 40, days fasting in the wilderness, and He was hungry. Satan said to Him, in effect, "Since you are hungry, turn these stones into bread." If the Father in heaven would have said to His Son, "Turn the stones into bread," Jesus would have done it. But the Father had not given Him that commandment. Jesus answered, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4). Jesus did not succumb to the temptation to put His needs before the will of God.
I've often heard people say, "Well, a person has to live." While it is true that we must live in the will of God, it is not true that we must live—no matter what the cost. It is far better for us to be poor and hungry in the will of God than to have all the comforts of life apart from the will of God.
This was the mistake that Esau made. He despised his God-given birthright. Esau had been out in the field hunting and came home famished. Jacob was making some delicious stew, and Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of it. He put his physical desires before God's plan for his life.
When you begin putting the physical ahead of the spiritual, you start living to please yourself. You begin to think that the most important thing in life is to be comfortable, not to be conformable to the will of God. What if our Lord Jesus Christ had put the physical ahead of the spiritual? What if He had been more concerned about His own comfort and pleasure than about doing the will of God? Where would we be today?
Living for the World—Not the Lord
A third reason why people make the mistake of running from their problems is because they are living for the world and not for the Lord. The Word of God says, "Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled" (Ruth 1:1). We have already discovered that the Book of Judges is the book of "no king." At least four times in the Book of Judges we read: "There was no king in Israel" (17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25). Twice we read: "In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (21:25; see also 17:6). Naomi and her family were living in an era of anarchy. The popular argument was "Everyone is doing it! Why shouldn't we?" But: the fact was that everyone was not doing it! Boaz did not go to Moab. He stayed where he was, and God later used him to rescue Naomi and Ruth.
When the situation became difficult in Bethlehem, Naomi and her family made three wrong decisions: (1) they decided to leave Bethlehem; (2) they decided to go to Moab; and (3) after Elimelech died, Naomi allowed her two sons to marry women from Moab. In Ezra 9:1 and Nehemiah 13:1 you find both Ezra and Nehemiah protesting against the Jews who had married women outside the nation of Israel.
The problem today is that people are conforming to the world with its rebellious atmosphere and attitudes. When you start running away from your problems, you are living for the world and not for the Lord. Your excuse becomes "Everybody is doing it!" And you start doing what is right in your own eyes.
Ignoring the Source of the Problem
A fourth reason why people run from their problems is that they ignore the real source of their problem—their own heart. When Naomi, Elimelech and their two sons went to Moab, they took their problem with them. What was their problem? The spiritual deterioration in their hearts. They were the problem. They were proud because they believed they could manipulate and manage their own lives and do a better job of it than God was doing.
The source of every problem is inside, not out-side. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart. We blame circumstances, and we even blame God. But when you reach the root of the problem, we are the ones who are to blame. We doubt God and disobey His Word. We put the world and the flesh ahead of the will of God. We think we can run away. But the Word of God makes it clear that when you run away, you take your sinful heart right along with you. That's why you can't run away; that's why running away only causes the problems to increase. You may be in a new location and have a new situation, but you still have the same old heart. You will repeat the same old mistakes. Ralph Waldo Emerson used to say that a change in geography will never overcome a flaw in character.
Naomi and her family traveled the 50 miles from Bethlehem to Moab, and it was a trip that took them out of the will of God. They planned to sojourn in Moab just for a while, but they tarried there for ten years. Everything fell apart. The fruitful fields of Moab became a cemetery for Naomi's husband and her two sons. Instead of having hope, Naomi became hopeless. God had to discipline this family to bring Naomi back where she belonged. It never pays to rebel against God.
Unfortunately, Naomi still had not learned her lesson. We will see that she made another mistake. She tried to cover up her sins and blame other people. Hebrews 12:11 says, "No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them who are exercised by it." Naomi had to learn to surrender to the discipline of God and stop running away.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread! Do We Need To Pray This Prayer Today?
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
(Is this Petition Relevant Today?)
by George V Thiruvanathapuram
|Picture Credit: www.imagekind.com
In Mathew Chapter 6 verses 9-13, we have what is generally called as the Lord's Prayer." In using this title, however we should remember that Jesus never prayed it Himself. It was given to the disciples as a model after which they could pattern their prayer. In some Christian groups this prayer is often used, as a matter of routine, without knowing the real meaning of each petition. Out of the seven petitions here, the first three concerns the name, kingdom and will of God. The Lord must occupy the highest place, and indeed in our whole lives. The four petitions for ourselves rise by degrees from "bread" up to "deliverance from evil": teaching us that we ought to grovel in prayer, but to increase in spirituality while we pray. (C H Spurgeon) "Give us this day our daily bread." Give us necessary food, bread for the day; our own bread, yet thy gracious gift; give it not only to me, but to all of us thy children. Is this petition needed today when our purses are thick, bank balances sufficient, and our store houses and fridges are full with food materials from salad to chicken? There was a time when our forefathers and evangelists like George Muller or M E Cherian and many others fully depended on our gracious Lord for each meal? I still remember a time when a friend of mine, was examining the rooftop of their wooden house to check, whether he could get few pieces of dried Tapioca, which was stolen by rats from them. Such was the hard time! Now the situations have changed! Who needs such a prayer when many could join with that fool in Luke 12 who said, "soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry"! (v. 19).
Let us examine this Lord's teaching on the basis of the Scriptures:
|Picture Credit: www.slideshare.net
Physical Needs:
"Our daily bread" refers primarily to the supply of our temporal needs. With the Hebrews, bread was a generic term, signifying the necessities and conveniences of this life. (Gen: 3:19; 28:20), such as food, raiment and housing. Inherent in the use of the specific term bread rather than the more general term food is an emphasis, teaching us not to ask for dainties or for riches, but for that which is wholesome and needful. Bread here includes health and appetite apart from which food does us no good. It also takes into account nourishment: for this comes not from the food alone, nor does it lie within the power of man's will. Hence God's blessings on it is to be sought. "For every creature of God is good, and on it is nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer" (1 Tim. 4:4,5).
Spiritual Needs:
Mathew Henry has correctly pointed out that the reason for this request for the supply of our physical needs heads the last four petitions in this prayer is that "our natural well being is necessary for our spiritual well being in the world." In other words, God grants to us the physical things of this life as helps to discharge of our spiritual duties. And since they are given by Him, they are to be employed in His service, and not for our selfish activities for making money. What gracious consideration God shows toward our weakness: we are inept and unfit to perform our higher duties if deprived of the things needed for the sustenance of our bodily existence. We may also rightly infer that this petition comes first, in order to promote the steady growth and strengthening of our faith. Perceiving the goodness and faithfulness of God in applying our daily physical needs, we are encouraged and stimulated to ask for higher blessings (Cf. Acts. 17:25-28).
Solomon's Attitude
In begging God to give us our daily bread, we ask that He might graciously provide us with a portion of outward things such as He sees will be best suited to our calling and station. "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny Thee and say, Who is Lord? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain (Prov. 30:8,9). If God grants us the superfluities of life we are to be thankful, and must endeavor to use them to His glory; but we must not ask them. "And having food and raiments let us be therewith content. We are to ask for "our daily bread" (1 Tim. 6:8) It is to be obtained not by theft, nor by taking force or fraud what belongs to another, but by our personal labor and industry. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty, open thine eyes, and thou shall be satisfied with bread" (Prov. 20:13) "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness" (Prov. 31:27) Is this request restricted to our daily bread) No. First, we are reminded of our frailty. We are unable to continue in health for twenty four hours, and are unfit for the duties of a single day, unless constantly fed from on high. Second, we are reminded of the brevity of our mundane existence. None of us know what a day brings forth, and therefore we are forbidden to boast ourselves of tomorrow (Pro. 27:1) Third, we are taught to suppress all anxious concern for the future and to live a day at a time one day at a time. "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought of the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" (Matthew 6: 34) Fourth, Christ inculcates a lesson of moderation. Finally, observe that our Lord's word "Give us this day our daily bread" is appropriate for use each morning, whereas the expressions, He teaches in Luke 11:3 "Give us day by day our bread" ought be our request every night. Then the question that comes before us is "Do we have family worship (prayer) every morning and evening? Let us all re-confirm this in our lives during this year, to have family altar. Let me conclude this by quoting our Lord's words from Matthew Chapter 6:25-28 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: It then came to the ground to pick up a crum and rising merrily again seemed to repeat its simple song "Mortals, cease from toil and sorrow, God provideth for the morrow." This greatly comforted the Reformers heart" (C.H. Spurgeon)
Let us cheer our hearts by reading that delicious song of contentment: Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd is ENOUGH: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge (Ps. 46:11). It is good to sing this twice; It is a truth of which no believer wearies, it is a fact too often forgotten.
John Wesley was sick and could not be understood. He attempted to speak. At last, with all his strength he cried. "The best of all is, God is with us." Again, raising his hand and waving it in triumph, he exclaimed with thrilling effect, "The best of all is, God is with us." These words seem to express the leading feature of his life. God had been with him from early childhood. His providence had guided him through all the devious wanderings of human life. Now when he was entering the "valley of the shadow of death," the same hand sustained him (Spurgeon: "The Treasury of David").
Beloved, is the Lord on your side?
Is Emmanuel, God with us, Your Redeemer?

Mike Holmgren says his Browns made a strong attempt to acquire the second overall pick in the draft from the Rams, but he believes they lost out to the Redskins because of personal relationships.
Holmgren is the president of the Browns and he told the team's season ticket holders on a conference call that Cleveland was very aggressive in its pursuit of the No. 2 overall pick — expected to be used on quarterback Robert Griffin III.
"Honestly, when it didn't happen I think there are reasons that I can't go into right now, but there is a very close relationship between the people getting the deal done and the people who offered. And I'm not sure anything we offered would have been good enough. We were very, very aggressive and it didn't work," Holmgren said, per ESPN Cleveland's Tony Grossi.
The relationship to which Holmgren may have been referring (per Pro Football Talk) could be Redskins G.M. Bruce Allen and Rams COO Kevin Demoff, who reportedly were colleagues and close friends with the Buccaneers
It had been reported since February that the Browns were pursuing a trade with the Rams. They had the Nos. 4 and 22 overall picks to offer, in addition to future draft picks. St. Louis accepted Washington's package, which consisted of the No. 6 pick, a second-round pick, and two future first-round picks.
It's impossible to evaluate the validity of Holmgren's claim without knowing what the Browns were offering the Rams. Washington gave up a load to get Griffin, so this was far from a sweetheart deal. Maybe Holmgren was upset the Rams did not give the Browns a chance to match or beat Washington's offer. Who knows? I just think the Redskins gave up enough to say there couldn't have been too much favoritism going on.
Things must be uncomfortable for Colt McCoy after hearing the team's president wanted to replace him. I guess the only way for the Browns to stick it to St. Louis now would be to draft a player at No. 4 that the Rams want at No. 6 — that would be true payback.

|Check-in before
Great experience in Rome! First time I used Wimdu and it worked perfectly. Very friendly and helpful contact, great organization from Emiliano and Maria, the whole appartment absolutely as advertised. Perfect location... 10-15 min. walk either to Termini or Colosseum. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area (Via Merulana).
When arriving in Rome we received a call that our booked and confirmed appartment was not available at the same day because of some issues with the keys...
An alternative for 1 night was offered to us and after a visit and a meeting with Emiliano we decided to stay at this appartment. At the next day we were picked up by car and brought to our originally booked appartment.
After that everything was really nice and the appartment is very clean and comfortable - just as visible at the picturers.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We have stayed for 4 night at this apartment from 10th to 14th July , and I could say many positive things about it, but the most important is that we felt like home, and we have not missed absolutely nothing we could need. The apartment well worth, also for its excellent location, but certainly deserves much more the attention from theis owners. It is important to know that for any problems that may arise you are dealling with serious and formal people who respond adequately.
Of course, it is my apartment on future visitis to the city, which is totally recommend!.
A very lovely and private apartment, in a quiet local area just 10 min walk away from the Vatican. We enjoyed our stay very much and had the plaessure of being welcomed in the most hospital manner. The apartment was very well equipped with everything.( from bathroom supplies to kitchen utensils). just around the corner there are local pizzeria/resrtaurants filled with authenthic food and Roman residents.We will a any time highly recommend others to stay here during their stay in Rome. Allready looking forward to visit again.:-)
The apartment is in best location, only 500m from St. Peters Church.
We had a warm welcome with our greeter and everything was prepared. The apartment is really big, modern and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks to Fabrizio and Emiliano.
A great apartment, with a stunning terrace and a location close to everything. The apartment had everything you need and the host was very friendly. One of Rome best pizzaria 5 min away, a Big supermarket and other great shops close by. If we go to Rome again, we Will book the same place
A charming and central placed apartment. You Can walk to all places of interest or use public transport nearby.
We would love to come here again.
Nice flat with two wonderful terasses with an excellent view to Forum Romanum.
Clean, good standard and a nice welcome.
Very central site in cosy Trastevere and a tram just outside going to central Rome.
We really recommend this flat.

Vorige week hebben wij (familie met twee kinderen van 21 en 22) vijf nachten gelogeerd in dit appartement. Bij aankomst werden we bij de voordeur opgewacht en kregen we de "grand tour". Het zeer comfortabele appartement is ruim en van alles voorzien. Goede bedden en luxe badkamers. Na een dag flink wandelen door Rome is het heerlijk thuiskomen in dit appartement. Kortom, een echte aanrader. De ligging is perfect, vrijwel alles is te voet te bereiken (Collosseum 10 minuten, Pantheon, 20 minuten). Er is een supermarkt recht tegenover. Al met al een super appartement.
