Art Leap will feature region's best artisans, musicians, poets and creatively inclined
An "open studio" event featuring 13 culturally rich destinations in the Park Rapids area is slated for Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 26-27.
Art Leap 2009, sponsored by the Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council, invites art lovers to find their way to area artists' and artisans' studios and workshops, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The fourth annual Art Leap is free and open to the public.
The White Birch Artists will kick off their Art Leap Show with a public reception from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 at the Park Rapids Area Library. The group of artists will show their work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.
There will also be familiar studio names to visit, as well as several new sites this year. Visitors will have more opportunities to meet mature artists/artisans who have been practicing their individual skills and talents.

Supply chain differentiation, contract agriculture, and farmers' marketing preferences: The case of sweet pepper in Thailand
There is an emerging body of literature analyzing how smallholder farmers in developing countries can be linked to modern supply chains. However, most of the available studies concentrate on farm and farmer characteristics, failing to capture details of institutional arrangements between farmers and traders. Moreover, farmers' preferences have rarely been considered. Here, we address these gaps by analyzing different market channels for sweet pepper in Thailand. Using data from a survey and choice experiment with farmers, we find that there is a general preference for marketing options that do not involve a contract. Additional provision of inputs and credit can increase the attractiveness of contracts. Yet, the most important factor for farmers is to personally know the buyer they deal with, which may be related to issues of trust. Some policy implications are discussed.

Our Mission Statement:
To establish a Bible based, religious education school for Van Wert Elementary School children so that they might know who God is, learn to love God, learn to trust God, and learn to serve God.
Our Vision Statement:
Recognizing the important place religion has in school curriculum, we strive to:
• Create a better learning environment in school classrooms by emphasizing a moral value system and improving students' sense of worth.
• Develop better citizens as we produce a base of American's future leaders who look to Jesus Christ for guidance.
• Provide Bible education to the children to impact their families as the children spread the Good News to those they love.
• Encourage children to become involved in a church and establish a lifelong desire to worship God and serve Him.
All for the Glory of God and to expand His kingdom.
Our Statement of Faith:
OF THE SCRIPTURES: We believe that the Holy Bible in its sixty-six Books is the fully completed word and revelation of God. The original autographs were penned by men inspired by the Holy Spirit, and were without error. God has marvelously preserved His Word so that mankind may with confidence study the Scriptures and rely upon them as our only sufficient rule of faith and practice. II Tim. 3:16,17; II Peter 1:20,21; Heb. 4:12; Ps. 1:1-3; 119:1-176; Joshua 1:8
OF THE TRUE GOD: We believe that there is one true and living God, an infinite, eternal, self-existent, holy, perfect Spirit whose name is Jehovah. He exists as a tri-unity: one Godhead, revealed in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each equal in essence and every divine attribute. Gen. 1:1-3; Ex. 3:14; 6:4,5; Psalm 2; 83:18; Isa. 6:1-5; 57:15; Jere. 10:10; Matt. 3:16,17; 28:18-20; John 1:1-3; 4:24; 5:18; 17:5; Phil. 2:5,6; Col. 1:12-19
OF JESUS CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ is God Incarnate. He existed from all eternity, co-equal with the Father and Spirit. At His virgin birth and incarnation, He was one Person wholly possessing two distinct natures, both divine and human. He came into this world to reveal the Father, and to redeem fallen humanity by His atoning death (His death enables any person to receive forgiveness of their sins and peace with God) and shedding of His blood. Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6,7; Matt. 1:22,23; 20:28; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1-3, 14-17; 3:14-18
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the triune God, equal with the Father and Son, and of the same substance and nature. He is the author of Scripture, bears witness to the truth, is the agent of the new birth, and seals, empowers, guides, witnesses to, and sanctifies the believer (separates the believer unto God Himself). Gen. 1:2; Luke 1:35; John 14:17,26; 16:8,9,17; 17:17; Acts 1:8; 5:3,4; I Cor. 12:4-11; II Cor. 1:22; Gal. 5:22,23; Eph. 1:13,14; 4:30; 5:18-21; Heb. 9:14
OF SATAN OR THE DEVIL: We believe that Satan is a fallen angelic being. He was created as the Angel Lucifer, who led the worship at the very Throne of God. Through pride he rebelled against God, and led a full third of the angelic host to rebel with him. As the author of sin, today he functions with God's sovereign permission as the unholy god of this age, the prince of power of the air, and the prince of this world, seeking to deceive the lost, and to harass the believer in Jesus Christ. He was defeated through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ so that his destiny is eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire. Gen. 3:1-15; Job 1:6-2:7; Isa. 14:12-15; Eze. 28:14-17; Matt. 13:25; 25:41; Mark 13:21,22; II Cor. 4:4; 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9; 13:13,14; 19:11,16,20; 20:1-3
OF CREATION: We believe in and teach the Genesis account of the special Creation of all things, and that it is to be accepted literally. The six days of Creation were solar days, (24 hour days); all physical creation was with the appearance of age, and was brought into existence by God's spoken Word. Genesis chapters 1,2; Ex. 20:11; Ps. 8:3-9; 19:1-6; 24:1,2; 33:6-9; 95:4,5; 102:25; Job 26:7; 38:1-11; John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16,17; Rev. 4:11
OF THE FALL OF MAN: We believe that mankind was created perfectly in the image and likeness of God, without sin. At the deception by Satan in Eden, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, losing their innocence, bringing a curse upon all mankind. Every person therefore enters into life under God's just condemnation and deserving of His wrath. Gen. 1:27,31; Eccl. 7:29; Ps. 9:17; 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Isa. 53:6; Rom. 1:18; 3:9-18; 5:12; John 3:6,18; I Cor. 15:22; Gal. 3:10,22; Eph. 2:1,5; James 2:10
OF THE WAY OF SALVATION: We believe that the salvation of fallen man is wholly by grace through faith and trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and the cleansing power of His divine blood, shed for every human being. Gen. 15:6; Isa. 53:4,5; John 3:15-18; Acts 4:12; 16:31; Rom. 4:4-8; 5:8; 10:9-13; I Cor. 15:1-4; Eph. 2:8,9; Titus 3:5-7; I Peter 1:18-21; I John 1:7-9; 5:11-13
OF THE RESURRECTION, ASCENSION, & RETURN OF CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ arose bodily from the grave, ascended to the right hand of His Heavenly Father, and awaits His Father's command to catch away His Bride from the earth when She is complete. Seven years later He will return to the earth with Her in all His glory to establish His Millennial Kingdom. Isa. 9:6,7; 11:1-5; Matt. 28:5-7; Luke 1:32; John 14:3; 20:27; Acts 1:9-11; I Cor. 15:1-4, 42-44, 51-53; Phil. 3:20,21; I Thess. 4:13-18; 5:11; James 5:8; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-5, 11-15; Chapters 21,22

Grade • A-
DVD • "The Impossible" was the best movie you didn't want to see last year. It's an emotionally wrenching, technically brilliant and visually stunning re-enactment of the 2004 tsunami that killed thousands of people along the Indian Ocean seen through the experiences of one European family that survived it.
Parents Henry (Ewan McGregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts) and their sons Lucas (Tom Holland), Thomas (Samuel Joslin) and Simon (Oaklee Pendergast) are enjoying a Christmas holiday in a Thai resort when the tsunami strikes. The family is separated, with Lucas and a badly injured Maria wading through debris, while Henry and the other boys joining a stream of refugees.
Director J.A. Bayona ("The Orphanage") finds horror and inspiration in this survival story, creating scenes that are unflinching and heart-breaking. Watts, in an Oscar-nominated performance, and young Holland are particularly moving.

CLLR MARK Warters (Letters, May 1)tries to claim credit for something he had little, if anything, to do with.
Article 4, in relation to Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs), was introduced by the Labour Government in April 2010 – however the Acts powers weakened by the Conservative Housing Minister in October 2010.
Labour in York lobbied the then Liberal Democrat administration to enact the policy In April 2011, City of York Council made a Direction, under Article 4(1) of the Town and Country Planning Order 1995, relating to change of use from Class C3 (dwelling house) to Class C4 (HMOs). This removes permitted development rights so that a planning application is required to change a property into an HMO.
Following consultation, the direction was confirmed in November 2011 and came into force in April 2012.
While Cllr Warters wanted a nought per cent policy per street, this would not have been acceptable in law; 20 per cent was chosen as it was legally tested. Even with this 'limit' the government planning inspector can and has allowed development to go ahead.
Cllr Warters needs to accept that council has to follow the law and perhaps speak to his student residents rather than attack their presence.
Cllr Tracey Simpson-Laing, Cabinet member for homes and safer communities, City of York Council.

SPORTS >> Lonoke, Stuttgart plan to sling mud
Leader sportswriter
The conditions should be prime for a classic battle at James B. Abraham Field in Lonoke this Friday.
That means the conditions should be muddy.
The series between Lonoke and Stuttgart always provides for a hard-fought battle, but throw a wet, mucky field into the mix, and the fight for a potential No. 3 seed out of the 2-4A Conference could be even more ugly.
When we started the season, we said our strength would be in our running game, Lonoke coach Doug Bost said. The conditions definitely make it tougher to pass, so you need to have a couple of running backs that can pound on people.
The Jackrabbits were able to have a balanced night offensively despite the bad field conditions last week in a 29-0 victory over Marianna-Lee.
Senior quarterback Michael Nelson had 195 yards passing, and rushed for 57 more yards. Senior running back Brandon Smith picked up the bulk of the Rabbits yards on the ground with 19 carries for 131 yards.
But the Ricebirds have the ability to counter Lonokes firepower with senior all-conference quarterback Zach Boleware, who led Stuttgart in a 28-point fourth quarter to lift his team to a 47-16 victory over DeWitt last week.
Hes definitely the leader of that team, Bost said. He runs that mid-line option, and he can ride his back and then pull the ball out at the very last second and pull around. We have to make sure we have someone assigned to him and assigned to the back.
Wet, sloppy field conditions are not really new to central Arkansas teams. October has seen its share of adverse weather, which has boded well for Lonoke.
Fridays victory over Marianna-Lee was the Jackrabbits third straight, and all of them came on a muddy field.
Bost does not believe it is the weather that has helped as muchas simply holding on to the football.
Weve done some good things here lately, Bost said. One thing weve done is cut out all of those turnovers. That was something that really plagued us, and weve done a better job of taking care of the ball.
Rivalries can sometimes be broken down with a review of common opponents, but that does not appear to be the case with the Jackrabbits and Ricebirds.
Their records against five common opponents Pulaski Robinson, Heber Springs, Bald Knob, Batesville Southside and DeWitt are both 3-2. Lonoke has outscored those combined opponents 140-62, while Stuttgart has outscored them 139-92.
Those numbers become even more confusing when examining Lonokes 21-7 loss to Heber Springs while Stuttgart beat Heber 15-12. Robinson beat Stuttgart 37-28 in Week 2, while the Jackrabbits beat Robinson 27-0 to open the season.
Thats what we told the kids, that theres no way to compare our records against like opponents, Bost said. We both put up pretty similar numbers against Southside and DeWitt, so it appears to be two pretty evenly matched teams on paper.
The Ricebirds will go into Fridays matchup trying to hold on to second place in the 2-4A Conference. Bald Knob sits in the drivers seat at 5-0, while the Ricebirds are a game back at 4-1.
From there, Clinton, Heber Springs and Lonoke sit in a three-way tie for third with only two playoffs spots available.
Its a key week in a lot of conferences, Bost said. It will probably start to clear itself up quite a bit after this week. Its always a battle when we play those Ricebirds, and well probably see that again on Friday with those second and third playoff seeds on the line.

"Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you've ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you've ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you've ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible."
This paragraph is at the heart of Evison's story, and reading it you may well think he has written a tragedy. In fact, this is a funny, quirky, irreverent and bittersweet tale of loss, love, heartbreak, friendship and perseverance.
Ben Benjamin is 39 years old, estranged from his wife, long unemployed and broke. We hear mention of two children whose whereabouts is somewhat unclear — but, sadly, becomes clearer as the story progresses. In order to stave off impending financial disaster Ben becomes a licensed caregiver by taking the class Fundamentals of Caregiving, a "twenty-eight-hour night course [he] attended along with fourteen middle-aged women at the Abundant Life Foursquare Church right behind the Howard Johnson in Bremerton."
Ben's first client is Trevor, an angry, demanding, wheelchair bound 19-year-old with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Trev's dad left when he was three, right after his diagnosis, and Trev lives with his mom. Trev spends his days stubbornly locked in a routine of watching the Weather Channel, eating waffles, going to the mall, going to the movies once a week and, always, thinking about girls.
Ben quickly realizes his training was quite inadequate to the task at hand.
Of course, things become complicated and a raucous road trip to Salt Lake City to visit Trev's bumbling father ensues. That is when things really become complicated and we encounter a whole new cast of characters. Somewhere along the road Ben finds that caregiving has become caring — inconvenient, painful, senseless, and thankless caring, and that forward is a possible direction even though you may not know what is waiting for you along the way.

Do it yourself, free online piano appraisals
OK so you've been looking for ages trying to find free online piano appraisals, well the likeliness of finding one isn't very high as it takes time to research how much a piano is worth so not many people are willing to do this for free.
But don't worry because you can do it yourself, the first thing you have to realize is that the amount that your piano is worth is the amount that someone's willing to pay, if someone tells you that your piano's worth 5000 but no one will buy it for that much then it won't do you much good, so what you need to do is, find out how much someone will pay for your piano.
The first place to go is ebay, if your piano is a popular make then it will be easy to find it on ebay and see how much people are paying for it but if it's not so popular you might be better off doing a search in one of the search engines to try and find your piano, hopefully you'll be able to find it up for sale at a few different shops or if someone's trying to sell it privately.
After you find your piano, it's a matter of looking at all the different prices that you come across and then working out the average, that should give you a good idea of how much your piano is worth, and you won't have to look for free online piano appraisals anymore.

Syrian ´Peace´: Fresh Clashes Break Out (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari, Canada 03/31/12)

INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Fresh clashes erupted between Syrian soldiers and rebels across many parts of Syria on Friday, despite President Bashar Assad having accepted a peace plan brokered by UN envoy Kofi Annan earlier this week.
According to The Associated Press, there were clashes in the suburbs of Damascus, in the northern Idlib province, the restive central province of Homs and in eastern Syria.
The Local Coordination Committees said 15 people were killed across the country, including eight who died in the town of Quriya in the eastern Deir el-Zour province. There, according to the organization, security forces opened fire to disperse anti-government protesters, triggering a shootout and fierce clashes with local rebels in the area.
The LCC and the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported intense clashes between government forces and defectors in the suburbs of Damascus, between the towns of Zamalka and Arbeen.
In Damascus, troops opened fire on protesters in the Kafar Souseh district, killing at least one.
Earlier on Friday, Annan demanded the Syrian government implement the ceasefire it previously agreed to immediately.
"The deadline is now," an Annan spokesman said, adding the former UN chief believed Assad needed "to make a good faith gesture."
On Thursday, the UNs human rights chief Navi Pillay said there is enough evidence to bring human rights charges against Assad over his year-long crackdown on protesters.
Factually theres enough evidence pointing to the fact that many of these acts are committed by the security forces, (and) must have received the approval or the complicity at the highest level, she told the BBC.
President Assad could simply issue an order to stop the killings and the killings would stop... Pillay explained. So this is the kind of thing that judges hearing cases on crimes against humanity will be looking at on command responsibility.
On Thursday the Syrian opposition, skeptical about whether Assad would indeed implement Annans peace plan, said it is willing to accept the plan but conditioned the acceptance on how quickly the plan would be implemented.
Waleed al-Bunni, a member of the Syrian National Council, told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that the opposition would accept the plan only if Assad´s regime complies with its points within two days, even though it does not include the opposition´s main demand that Assad should step down.
Al-Bunni said that if the plan is an extra time for Bashar al-Assad to commit more massacres and destroy more cities and we lose 10,000 citizens, then it proves like all previous initiatives that the international community is not serious about solving the Syrian crisis and this community must then confront Al-Assad with his lies.

John F. Harris and Jim VandeHei were important players on The Washington Post's political team when they left to start The Politico newspaper and website. But they don't think that most "mainstream" reporters are liberals or partisans. Now they've written an article provocatively titled "Why McCain Is Getting Hosed by the Press," noting their own mothers think the media's in the tank for Obama.
Harris and VandeHei declared: "OK, let's just get this over with: Yes, in the closing weeks of this election, John McCain and Sarah Palin are getting hosed in the press, and at Politico." But to critics, they can only say: "our sincere answer is that of the factors driving coverage of this election -- and making it less enjoyable for McCain to read his daily clip file than for Obama -- ideological favoritism ranks virtually nil."
They proclaimed that reporters are far too professional to let their personality show:
The main reason is that for most journalists, professional obligations trump personal preferences. Most political reporters (investigative journalists tend to have a different psychological makeup) are temperamentally inclined to see multiple sides of a story, and being detached from their own opinions comes relatively easy.
This idea of Harris or VandeHei being "detached from their own opinions" has been challenged by their actual television appearances in this cycle. Harris just recently declared after the vice presidential debate on PBS that Joe Biden cleaned Sarah Palin's clock, that he was more substantive and spontaneous, while Palin was "hanging on for dear life." (He repeats that line in this article, so he's hardly detached from it.) VandeHei is easily remembered for one of the ugliest questions in the Republican primary debates in 2007, selecting an Internet quiestion and hurling it at Mitt Romney: "What do you dislike most about America?"
Reporters are centrists, they claimed, although they'll overwhelmingly favor liberal Obama at the ballot box: "And, yes, based on a combined 35 years in the news business we'd take an educated guess – nothing so scientific as a Pew study – that Obama will win the votes of probably 80 percent or more of journalists covering the 2008 election. Most political journalists we know are centrists – instinctually skeptical of ideological zealotry – but with at least a mild liberal tilt to their thinking, particularly on social issues. So what?"
Harris and VandeHei dragged out the hoary old claim that reporters are more obsessed about process and polls than making the world safe for liberalism, but then they devastate their own argument in looking at what's happened to McCain:
One is McCain backlash. The Republican once was the best evidence of how little ideology matters. Even during his "maverick" days, McCain was a consistent social conservative, with views on abortion and other cultural issues that would have been odds with those of most reporters we know. Yet he won swooning coverage for a decade from reporters who liked his accessibility and iconoclasm and supposed commitment to clean politics.
Now he is paying. McCain's decision to limit media access and align himself with the GOP conservative base was an entirely routine, strategic move for a presidential candidate. But much of the coverage has portrayed this as though it were an unconscionable sellout.
Since then the media often presumes bad faith on McCain's part. The best evidence of this has been the intense focus on the negative nature of his ads, when it is clear Obama has been similarly negative in spots he airs on radio and in swing states.
How does this reaction in any way square with the notion that reporters don't care about ideology? Then the writers added that while they don't think reporters are rooting for Obama, they do think his race is an advantage, but not an ideological advantage:
But he has benefited from the idea that negative attacks that in a normal campaign would be commonplace in this year would carry an out-of-bounds racial subtext. That's why Obama's long association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was basically a nonissue in the general election.
Journalists' hair-trigger racial sensitivity may have been misplaced, but it was not driven by an ideological tilt.
This argument is just bizarre. Reverend Wright was not merely a racial figure. He was a rabidly ideological figure who charged in sermons that murdering 3,000 Americans on September 11 was just the "chickens coming home to roost" for American terrorism, and a figure making wild racial conspiracy theories like the U.S. government inventing the AIDS virus to kill off black people. Ignoring Wright does not show a "hair-trigger racial sensitivity." It shows that a liberal press corps doesn't want the concept of patriotism to be an issue. They think it is a phony issue, and they also think that if it was an issue, that McCain's sacrifice for his country dramatically outweighs Obama's.
The most tiring argument is the "momentum bias" argument, that it's odd to expect the press to report that the McCain campaign is going great when the polls are all against it. But that argument neglects that the polls in some respects reflect months and months of pro-Obama bias. Reporters are expected to challenge both candidates, not simply the one who's behind, which the writers acknowledged:
A couple weeks back, Politico managing editor Bill Nichols sent out a note to the campaign team urging people to cough up more story ideas that took a skeptical look at the campaign tactics and policy proposals of the Democrat, who is likely to be president three months from now. As it happened, the response was a trickle.
This doesn't sound like a staff full of reporters that are detached from their own liberal opinions.

You betcha I'm price sensitive. Every time I look at purchasing an e-book I've got to pay more than I want to and more than most other countries pay for it. Let's take a gander at a few of the interesting selections in this month's 100 Kindle deals from Amazon. Used to be a great place to pick up some reads for a deal. Molly Ringwald
When it Happens to you
for $3.99. Click on it, nope it's $15.17. OOhh,
The Sisters Brothers
for $2.99, I'd definitely pick that up. Sorry it's not actually even available in Canada. That's right, a firetrucking Canadian-born author, nominated for Canada's best literature prize The Giller, isn't even available in Canada. Hmmm, a Jodi Picoult for $2.99. No, that's $10.35.
Price sensitive, you bet I'm price sensitive. You heard it here boys and girls: E-BOOKS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY!
Someone might want to move this to the Vent and Rant thread.
I hope my Kindle enjoys it's new life as a doorstop.

In advance of her new TV series on the subject of women in religion, Bettany Hughes has been hard to avoid, with interviews and puff-pieces (some written by herself) popping up everywhere.
The overwhelming message was depressingly familiar -- basically, that the history of religion is really the history of women (incarnation of the divine life-force, earthly channels of the sacred, mistresses of mystery and wisdom) being squeezed out and written out of the picture by jealous men. It didn't exactly raise great hopes for the series, especially as Hughes seemed happy to play fast-and-loose with the (few available) facts.
In the Telegraph, she proclaimed as fact (rather than highly contested speculation) that there were female priests and even bishops in the early Christian church. In the Guardian yesterday she claimed that Theodora, wife of the Byzantine emperor Justinian, was largely responsible for the legal reforms named after her husband. She "incarnated the Biblical understand of wisdom as the ability to make sound judgements" and ruled "with wisdom's lilies woven through her crown." This is, shall we say, a partial description of her known character. Hughes also celebrates the little-known (in the West) 7th century Chinese Empress Wu Zetian:
Consider what Wu achieved. She invaded Korea and Tibet; reformed the administrative system of the Chinese empire; provided Buddhism with a warm embrace when its influence was waning across the Indian subcontinent; and, vitally, she was a patron of printing 700 years before it arrived in Europe.
She sounds like a powerful and fairly enlightened female ruler in the mould of Catherine the Great or or own Elizabeth I, holding her own in a male-dominated society. Good for her, though it seems a stretch to regard her as the incarnation of female wisdom rather than as a successful political leader. As for invading Korea and Tibet, is that really something to celebrate?
Hughes is a good historian and a superlative TV presenter, but when it comes to the Eternal Mysteries of Female Wisdom and Power she does have a tendency to come out with sentimental, romanticised tosh. Her book on Helen of Troy is full of it. When it comes to someone like Helen, a figure of whom the only reliable thing that can be said is that she never existed, the temptation is probably too great to resist. But it is dangerous to present it as history.
Hughes is keen to tell us that "virtually all deities of wisdom, and their acolytes, are female" (in the Telegraph). More specifically, in the Guardian article,
Of all deities of wisdom across the globe and through known time, the massive majority – 97% – were (or are) female. Mankind, for the vast span of human experience, has worshipped at the shrine not of the god, but the goddess, of wisdom.
97% seems a remarkably specific figure. I wonder where she can have found it. Wikipedia has pages for 17 goddesses of wisdom or knowledge and 23 male gods; that list can scarcely be exhaustive, but to reach that 97% would require discovering another 727 goddesses of wisdom and then another 32 for each male deity subsequently found. This is highly unlikely. I haven't tracked any source for the 97% claim prior to recent publicity for Hughes' TV series. I did however discover this, from the write-up to a Radio 3 documentary about Roman Britain that Hughes presented last year:
We love discoveries of forts and towns and baths, and we're lot less impressed by a nice British round house. Yet perhaps 97% of our ancestors would have been living in those roundhouses, many of them turning up their noses at Roman culture beyond the odd bit of bracelet or pottery.
As for last night's programme, it was more interesting for what it left out. Hughes offered us a short history of goddesses from Catal Huyuk to Kali's Calcutta, taking in Cybele along the way. The emphasis was on the goddess as the arbiter of life and death, giving birth equally to live and stillborn offspring and thus (as her Telegraph article put it) "a sexually powerful creature who delights in bloodshed." Hence the goddesses selected.
Hinduism reveres many female deities: Lakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati, Shakti. But only at Kali's temple in Calcutta are bulls still ritually sacrificed to appease the divine bloodlust. Cybele -- the Phrygian import known to the Romans as Magna Mater -- took up almost half the programme's running time. Much was made of the Galli, the eunuch priests of the goddess who would castrate themselves in a state of ecstatic devotion and thereafter wear women's clothing. Much too was made of the taurobolium, the literal bloodbath (or blood-shower, I suppose) in which the worshipper stood beneath a grating above which a bull was being slaughtered. Very primal. But also, in terms of classical goddess worship, extremely atypical.
Concentrating on Cybele risks perpetuating the hackneyed (and surely deeply sexist) equation of Woman with Nature, the chthonian and the primitive. "Mother cults," wrote Camille Paglia, "did not mean social freedom for women" because "nature's burden falls more heavily on one sex," a fact to which honouring the female-ruled mysteries of life and death can only draw attention. I don't agree with Paglia that civilisation was invented by men as a defence against the oppressiveness of female nature. But goddesses like Cybele do embody a set of misogynistic assumptions; at the very least they represent a male way of thinking about, and failing to come to terms with, the Otherness of women. There's nothing whatever "feminist" about them and little that modern women should be wanting to "reclaim".
Classical Athens was, needless to say, male-dominated; male-dominated, in fact, to an extent unusual even in ancient Greece. The women were kept at home weaving. A few really lucky ones (Phryne, Aspasia) got to be high-class hookers and went to parties. But women were completely excluded from public life. They couldn't vote. They couldn't even go to the theatre.
Athena, or rather the spindoctors who created her myths, resolved this paradox by downplaying her femininity. She was a virgin (and thus free from the cycles of pregnancy, birth and lactation). She was born, fully-armed, from the head of Zeus. She was depicted as Athena Promachos, fighting on the front-line with spear and armour in defence of her city. She was "all for the father". She has a walk-on role at the end of the Oresteia, where she turns up to cast her vote against the Furies, representatives of vengeance and ancestral irrationality: the old goddesses, in other words.
A male creation she may have been, but precisely for that reason Athena is much more relevant to a modern world in which women are no longer confined to the domestic sphere, or to the biological realm of night, than the bloodthirsty goddesses that she replaced. Women who are expected to compete on equal terms in the Academy and in the Agora have little to learn from the likes of Cybele; Athena, however, shows the way.
The developed Athena was exceptional, but the association of a female figure with civilisation and the city is not. Most ancient cities had a patron goddess. And in the much older epic of Gilgamesh, it is a woman (a temple prostitute) who tames the wild man Enkidu, turns him into a civilised human being. Here it is the woman who represents Culture and the man who represents untamed Nature; and sex, far from being the irruption of subterranean and primeval forces, becomes something civilising and humane.
The series may improve next week. I hope so. It has always struck me, however, that Bettany Hughes is more interesting, as well as more reliable, when talking about men: her series on the Spartans was fascinating, as was her book about Socrates. It's rude (and of course facile) to try to psychoanalyse someone, but it could just be that she has an Athena-like ambivalence about her own sex and, when it comes to goddesses, tends to over-compensate by gushing.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Its unassuming location between a beauty salon and a discount clothing store on Koreatown's bustling Third Street belies the history and reputation of Ted Gibson's as an expert frame shop, one that first opened in 1946 near the once-posh MacArthur Park. Now run by Ted Gibson's son, Richard, the shop serves artists, collectors, dealers, galleries, museums and locals — some of whom have been clients for decades, or are children and grandchildren of original customers. They return year after year because Gibson bestows personal attention on each order. He and his longtime staff add value to the art by crafting the ideal frame, often handmade with fine or exotic materials such as wormwood or chestnut. In addition to custom framing, the shop handles painting restoration and a variety of other services. Work samples abound — an oil painting of a girl in lace within a gilded frame, an exotic garment displayed in a shadowbox, a tall mirror set into a Chinese wooden panel. Take time to browse the art and curios for sale. 4271 W. Third St., Koreatown. (213) 382-9195, tedgibsonframes.net.

Museum shops are pretty good places for last-minute gifts — you will find items quirky enough that the recipients probably will not have seen them and definitely will not have purchased for themselves. The Santa Monica Museum of Art has a tiny, super-focused version, called Gracie, its goods stacked neatly in the hallway between the entrance and the galleries. Some items you may have seen in other luxury-novelty stores, like a mug that looks like three espresso cups smushed together. Others are surprises, like the collection of plates stacked in the shape of a palace. No one needs these things. But you need to buy them for someone, and this museum shop makes it easy and pleasant to do so. Oh, and feel free to walk 10 steps more to see the actual museum, which has a $5 suggested donation ($3 for seniors, students and artists). Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., G1, Santa Monica. (310) 586-6488, smmoa.org.

Every group of friends has that one member who reliably delivers cool gifts with cards to match. In our case, said friend was willing to share her source: the Library Store at Central Library. Every nook and cranny of this smallish space is filled with books (of course!), many about L.A. or on themes such as cooking, gardening and literature; educational but fun toys that kids will adore; jewelry and gadget covers (iPad, Kindle, etc.) for book lovers; creative greeting cards and postcards; T-shirts and other garments; and unusual items such as colorful paper sculptures made by librarian Dora Ho from recycled catalogs. Now you, too, have access to one-stop cool gift shopping, down to the funky wrapping paper and artistic gift tags. Even better, proceeds support the Los Angeles Public Library. 630 W. Fifth St., dwntwn. (213) 228-7550, lfla.org/store.

If Los Angeles is the street-art capital of the world, then MidCity's 33third is the scene's Louvre. More gift shop than museum, this art-supply mecca has nonetheless hosted shows by such graf luminaries as Chaka and Revok (who was famously arrested there for vandalism). Although it claims to be the largest street-art supply store in the country, with 2,900 square feet of everything from Ironlak paint and nozzles to "drippers," it's also a showcase, with practice walls in the back and a dedicated gallery space under construction. And 33third is adding what's being billed as the planet's first street-art academy, Los Angeles Academy of Street Art, to debut mid-October. It's places like this that make L.A. the envy of cool kids around the world. 5111 W. Pico Blvd., Mid-City. (310) 694-3460, 33third.com.

"Giggle isn't just a baby store," the company literature says, "it's a new parent store." New parent! What did they do with the old parent!? And yet there is a singular transformation that takes place when a prospective buyer steps inside Giggle — it's readily apparent that it's one of the most chic, stylish stores for equipping a nursery in Los Angeles. From nursery and bedding supplies, to baby bouncers that undulate at a precise rate, to toys, strollers, carriers and other gifts, Giggle presents an oasis for the maternally harried and a break for the paternally worried, with its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, blessed lack of hard sell and emphasis on eco-friendly living from the cradle onward. The store's line of plush stuffed animals is particularly soft and comforting; they resurrect a simpler time in which all those animals were alive and so were you. 1120 Montana Ave., Santa Monica.

There are many choices for your smut-wear needs, but while you're digging through that 3-for-$10 thong bin, consider the ritual and the anticipation.

While that flagship moved a few blocks away in 2005, it's still the two-story king of lingerie. And, early this year, the 117-store company announced that it was for sale. Although Frederick's of Hollywood says it's on firm financial ground with a recent $24 million line of credit, you never know. Victoria could swallow it up. And while you have that picture in your head, appreciate what you have, L.A. — the world's mecca of unmentionables. 6751 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd. (323) 957-5953, fredericks.com.

Facebook's IPO filing last week juiced a score of social stocks last week, including Groupon, (NASDAQ:GRPN), which saw its shares soar 22%. On Wednesday, reality bit back hard. GRPN shares plunged more than 10% in after-hours trading after Groupon flubbed its first-ever earnings report as a publicly traded company.
Revenues actually were strong, up a staggering 194% to $506.5 million, and the company reported 33 million active users.
But the growth was not cheap — Groupon sustained a loss of $42.7 million. The company continues to invest heavily in global markets and also has moved into lower-margin categories, like travel services.
The report definitely should be jarring for investors. In light of Groupon's huge scale, shouldn't it be able to produce profits? Facebook seems to have no problems doing so.
So the debate about Groupon's business model will surely continue, especially as the daily deals competition intensifies from players like Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).
In fact, the news could have broader-reaching implications, including creating some headwinds for the upcoming IPO of Yelp, which saw its own uptick in losses during the latest quarter.

Subject: [MOORE-RES] Hamiltons and Moores AR, TX, NC, TN, GA
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 11:08:47 -0500
Clear DayLooking for information on Hamiltons and Moores who were
living in the late 1800's in Arkansas, Hot Springs Co near the NW
corner where it meets with Garland Co. The community was called Oma.
The Hamilton family consisted of at least three sons and one daughter.
Their dates of birth were just before the Civil War. One sibling was
named James Adolphus Hamilton (October 7, 1861 - June 19, 1912) who
married Rhiney Jane Moore (December 22, 1871 - 1927) about 1890 in
Arkansas. Between 1892 and 1895 the couple with their first two
children moved to Williamson Co, TX. The 2000 census records that
James Adolphus Hamilton was born in Georgia.
The Moores had been in Arkansas since just after the Civil War. This
is a family that descends eventually from the Demsey Moores from NC
who moved near Knoxville, TN then into McNairy Co, TN before coming to
On the Moore side the lineage is recorded to be as follows:
Edward Moore (1695 - ?) married Dinah ?
Demsey Moore (1733 - ? in Granville, NC) married ?
Demsey Moore (Before 1752 - ?) married Susannah Walker
Demsey Moore (2-04-1789 - 5-01-1856 in McNairy Co, TN)
married Polly Elder
Jesse Lee Moore (5-11-1827 in Randolph Co, NC -
6-11-1863 in DeRoche, Hot Springs Co, AR) married Roina Blake Hardin
John Wilkie Moore (10-27-1848 in Knoxville, TN -
4-21-1897 in Oma, Hot Springs Co, AR) married Jane Brabbin
Rhiney Jane Moore ( 12-22-1871 in Oma, Hot
Spring Co, AR - (12-27-1927 in Williamson Co, TX) married James
Adolphus (Dol) Hamilton
All there is for the Hamiltons is
? Hamilton (?-?) married ?
Male? Hamilton (1848 - ?) (may be John. Dad spoke of an "Uncle
John" Hamilton)
Female? Hamilton (between 1849-1850 - ?)
Male? Hamilton (May 1855 - ?) (may be John. Dad spoke of an Uncle
John Hamilton)
James Adolphus Hamilton (10-7-1861 in GA - 6-19-1912 in TX)
married Rhiney Jane Moore
Nancy Jane Hamilton (01-1891in AR - 1940 in TX) married Horace
Bishop Anderson
Geride E. Hamilton (10-1892 in AR - ?)
Herbert D. Hamilton (10-1895 in TX - ?) married Ruthie Staton
Myrtle Hamilton (3-1899 in TX - ?)
Would appreciate any information on either of these families. Thanks

Swing-Jazz Classics for String Quartet
Swing-Jazz Classics for String Quartet
More Images
These two swing-jazz classics capture the flair of Gypsy violinist St�phanie Grappelli and guitarist Django Reinhardt. "Avalon" ranges from a waltz to the sound of a carnival carousel. "Dark Eyes," an early hit for the fabled Hot Club of France, also starts as a waltz before giving way to chance for you to put a modern stamp on it. Both of these sophisticated swing-jazz charts are perfect for weddings and other casuals or even as concert encore pieces.

Thomas Hood
To A Sleeping Child - Poem by Thomas Hood
Oh, 'tis a touching thing, to make one weep,—
A tender infant with its curtain'd eye,
Breathing as it would neither live nor die
With that unchanging countenance of sleep!
As if its silent dream, serene and deep,
Had lined its slumber with a still blue sky
So that the passive cheeks unconscious lie
With no more life than roses—just to keep
The blushes warm, and the mild, odorous breath.
O blossom boy! so calm is thy repose.
So sweet a compromise of life and death,
'Tis pity those fair buds should e'er unclose
For memory to stain their inward leaf,
Tinging thy dreams with unacquainted grief.
Thine eyelids slept so beauteously, I deem'd
No eyes could wake so beautiful as they:
Thy rosy cheeks in such still slumbers lay,
I loved their peacefulness, nor ever dream'd
Of dimples:—for those parted lips so seem'd,
I never thought a smile could sweetlier play,
Nor that so graceful life could chase away
Thy graceful death,—till those blue eyes upbeam'd.
Now slumber lies in dimpled eddies drown'd
And roses bloom more rosily for joy,
And odorous silence ripens into sound,
And fingers move to sound.—All-beauteous boy!
How thou dost waken into smiles, and prove,
If not more lovely thou art more like Love!

Apple's share price closed today above $633, which makes the company's share just a bit more expensive than Google's. The market cap is now over $590 billion though, which is nearly three times larger than that of Google's.
With both competing tech giants now having nearly identical stock prices, it is important to note that Apple's stock has appreciated roughly 160% over the last two years, compared to the 12% gain Google has realized over the same period of time. The market cap for the Cupertino California company is so high, that the combined valuations of AMD, Dell, Google, HP, Microsoft, Motorola Mobility, Nokia, and RIM still don't add up to that of Apple's.
If you were to look at Apple's market cap five years ago, you would see that it was just $75.8 billion, which helps bring into perspective the massive effect that iOS devices have played in building the company's revenue. It isn't much of a surprise as each iOS device has caused a large impact on the respective industry it targets (ie. iPhone – smartphone, iPad – tablets, iPod Touch – mp3 players). Furthermore, many analysts are predicting that the price will only go up further as time goes on and it seems to be the case once the company releases their branded television set, rumored to be called the "iPanel".

So while there's some sort of return to old-world styling in fall fashion trends, we're now looking at what's next overall in beauty and hair. I'm planting a flag in the ground near all those other flags to go for that bushy full haired look for the fall. It's dramatic, not necessarily sweeping at all but unmistakable. Most of us can get the bushy hair look by spending about 45 or so minutes in a hot sweaty club. For those not wanting to deal with that their are several products that can get you to that look including volumizers and picks that pouf up the hair.
The trend in makeup I am not getting is neon. It's fall. Fall requests the presence of darker more drawn-out colors, but magazines are imploring all to make it light and bright. The style.com website remarks that in Paris and Milan fall shows neon was omnipresent:
in Paris, neon makeup was all over the catwalks: lacquered orange lips at Dior, moonbeam-bright eyes at Comme des Garçons, and press-on nails in hot pink at Karl Lagerfeld.
This bodes well for manic panic and makeup companies on the fringe looking to "glam it up" with embellished colorful looks. What's on your head and face this fall? Let me know. Leave comments or shoot me an e-mail email@example.com

How do music and visual art connect, intersect, or speak to each other? Explore these ideas in The White Album exhibition. This innovative exhibition offers fresh perspectives on the Museum's permanent collection by using the Beatle's 1968 release, popularly known as The White Album but technically called The Beatles, as an organizing template for the exhibition. The project is curated by Plains Art Museum Director Colleen Sheehy and a team of three students—Chris Gion, Kaylyn Gerenz, and Sarah Simon—with early contributions by Carin Jorgensen and Rebecca Seelig Donley.
The White Album's roster of thirty-five songs in diverse musical styles inspire a wide range of visual connections, working with familiar tunes ranging from "Revolution 1" and "Revolution No. 9" to "Blackbird," "Rocky Raccoon," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Norwegian Sky - November 2, 2009: Norwegian Sky Cruise Review by gooch47
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Sky - November 2, 2009
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
Before I start, please don't yell at me because inevitable comparisons to Princess creep in. I've been on 26 Princess cruises and this is only the 3rd NCL one. Princess is what I have to compare cruise experiences with.
We arrived at the ship around 12:30 p.m. Embarkation was smooth and quick. We were impressed that they took our photos for the cruise cards right at the check-in counter. Very efficient since there was one less line to stand in, better than Princess. But we weren't aware that we had to wait until 2:00 p.m. to get access to our cabin and were confused when we were herded down through a series of displays advertising the spa, the specialty restaurants, etc., totally the opposite direction from our cabin. We finally heard an announcement that explained it and we went to the buffet for lunch. There was a long line at what we and others assumed was the only buffet line, so we went to More the Pizza restaurant, ate there and just hung around until 2:00, about a one-hour wait.
The ship was very attractive and was in pretty good condition. We did have some mildew in our bathroom and the rubber "carpet" on our deck was torn up in places. It obviously still had its Hawaiian theme but that was fine. The only complaint I had about dEcor was the [url=http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/gooch47/IMG_5122.jpg]artwork[/url] on the wall in our cabin. It was obviously something they wouldn't be able to sell in the art auction and to be honest, it gave me the creeps.
Our Cabin was an aft balcony cabin on Norway Deck. I would not recommend getting an aft cabin on this deck. The Outdoor Cafe was right above us, and it seemed that there were people there at all hours of the day and night dragging chairs and/or tables around. It was not unbearable, but just an annoyance. Contrary to what I had heard, people at the cafe cannot see you on your balcony unless you are standing at the rail. That is the same for the balconies below us. We could see them if they were standing at the rail. However, I could very easily look at the entire suite balcony next to us and even look into the suite a little if I chose to do so. The angle of the dividers makes it easy. Of course, they could see ours, too, but I never saw that couple out on their gorgeous balcony. What a waste. We did get some soot on our balcony the second night but never experienced any of the sewage smells that others have commented about. We did enjoy the aft cabin experience. We liked being able to see both sides of the scenery.
When we first entered our cabin, I was a little surprised at how small it seemed compared to a Princess Mini-suite. Ours was the highest balcony category before the full suites (BA). I know we paid for the aft location and the cabin was adequate, of course, but I was just expecting more room. The large balcony was worth the extra cost all by itself. Another shock came when I started to unpack. I only took one carry-on full of clothes so it wasn't a big problem, but there were only three shallow 18" square drawers for folded clothes. There was a lot of room for hang-up clothes except they use those darned hangers that people can't steal. I hate those things. Had this been a 7-day or more cruise, I honestly don't know where I would have stored our clothing.
My husband tried to see if we could get wireless Internet in our cabin but didn't have any success. We would have been willing to pay for it.
The shower was tiny. I saw quite a few people on the cruise that physically wouldn't have fit in the shower. I'm no lightweight and it was a relatively tight squeeze for me, too.
The bed was very comfortable despite having enough bedding on it for an Antarctic cruise. I really don't like those duvet thingies. Too heavy and too hot.
We were also surprised at how long it took for our cabin steward to do our cabin in the morning and at night. We were used to going to breakfast and having it already done when we returned. We were lucky to have it straightened up by 11:00 or later. Same thing in the evening. Our cabin steward seemed to ignore the "Make up Cabin" signs and just start at one end of her assignment and do them in order. But she did a good job and we tipped her a little extra for that.
Food was typical cruise fare. We did go to the buffet for one dinner and was a little disappointed with the selection. The breakfast buffet was great, especially the sticky buns! We didn't go to any of the specialty restaurants. We cruise so often that food isn't a big draw for us. We did enjoy the service and food at the main dining room. We went when it opened and not only did we not have to wait, we even got window tables each time.
The casino was the big high point of the cruise. It was the largest and most up-to-date we've ever seen. The first night the slots seemed very friendly, but it went down hill from there. We were on this cruise because my husband received it free from the Harrah's casino in St. Louis. I don't know if all "Casinos at Sea" passengers receive these perks or not, but we got free drinks in the casino, cookies in the cabin when we first embarked, chocolate covered strawberries one night and chocolate truffles another night. The only complaint I had about the casino was we both were positive that the players' club cards weren't registering points correctly. We are high enough rollers to receive big perks from Harrah's but we only received about 300 points each and that didn't sound right. (You needed 2500 to get anything for your play.) Several times I got over 50 points on a single machine and I know my husband plays much higher limits that I do. And yes, we were SURE the cards were registering correctly. They often didn't when you first inserted them in the machine. One night I checked my points when I first went in and after playing the first machine checked them again. I had five points LESS than when I started.
The first stop on the cruise was Freeport. The ship was docked eleven miles from the city at a commercial dock. There were some shops next to the ship so we got off and walked around a little. The cost to get to Freeport was $5 per person each way. It was very much like being in St. Thomas where they load up a cab to capacity before they leave. We decided it wasn't worth the hassle to go to town.
The stop in Nassau was better. We'd been there many times and decided to take a water taxi to Paradise Island and Atlantis. We'd stayed at Atlantis three times before so we just spent some time in the casino and then went back to the ship. We also walked to the Straw Market and bought a large straw placemat type thing. Then I remembered I only had one small carry-on to pack it in. But it worked out OK. It was fun sitting on our balcony watching the passengers who had spent too much time at Señor Frog try to walk back to the ship. And my husband was able to connect with some wireless service somewhere near the ship with just enough bandwidth to read our email.
The stop at Stirrup Cay was a disaster. They were supposed to start sending passengers ashore around 8:00 a.m. That time came and went and they eventually announced they were having trouble getting clearance. Around 9:00 or so they came on and said they still didn't have clearance due to a "severe medical emergency" whatever that meant. They said they would start sending people ashore around 10:00. About that time they announced they would start the tender process by deck. They first called Deck 10 and Deck 4. It was 10:45 before we saw the first tender heading to shore. A very long time later they called two more decks and then another deck. Then they announced they were suspending tendering until a rain front came through. THEN they announced they were terminating tendering because of high wind. They eventually started bringing the people back from the island but it was a [url=http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/gooch47/?action=view¤t=tender.flv]very rough ride[/url]. It rained on and off the rest of the day and the ship left around 4:00 p.m. I thought the ride back to Miami would be really rough, but it wasn't bad at all.
Debarkation was a snap since we only had the one carry-on and a couple personal items. We got up around 8:00, had breakfast and then sat on our balcony for a while to let the crowd thin out. Bad idea. Without warning someone on the balcony next to us started squirting us with a hose. My husband got soaked. I was a little further away and didn't get it as bad. That is one way to clear people off the ship, I guess. It wasn't on purpose, I'm sure, but he definitely didn't look to see if the balcony was empty. We also saw him squirting water on the balconies below us.
We got a cab to take us back to the airport which brings me to the biggest error we made. We flew into Ft. Lauderdale because Southwest Airline had the best fares. But then we spent everything we saved on airfare on cabs and shuttles to and from the airport and to and from the ship. We used a shuttle, SAS transportation (http://www.ridesas.com) from the airport to the hotel for $15 per person. We had transportation as part of a "Port Package" from our hotel to the ship, but the taxi back to the hotel after the cruise was $40. Then the taxi to the airport was $65. We stayed at the Best Western on the Bay on the 79th Street Causeway. We really enjoyed staying there and would recommend it highly EXCEPT that it was far away from both ports.
We enjoyed the cruise even though we didn't do much. We bought a future cruise package since we expect that my husband will probably get more free cruise offers and the money can be spent on upgrades as well as bookings. Less

Earthquake in Haiti
222,600 estimated fatalities
300,000 people injured
1.5 million people displaced into tent cities
More than a century of economic marginalization and political corruption has resulted in extreme poverty and severe ecological pressures in the Republic of Haiti. Half of the country's 10 million people lived in densely packed housing with varying levels of access to electricity, water, and sanitation in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The January 12, 2010, earthquake and its 42 aftershocks leveled much of the city. In the wake of the earthquake Port-au-Prince is being rebuilt—but multiple cholera epidemics from contaminated drinking water have plagued the displaced population. Questions persist about relocating the capital and shifting the population out of the region.

During a 2007 speech at the University of Oregon Samantha Power, President Obama's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, told a questioner that changing "our whole order" regarding world governance "would be welcome."
However, she said the new order "isn't going to happen any time soon, given who has the power and who have the guns."
Instead, she advocated "convincing those building blocks, those nation-states who comprise the UN, that it is in their national interest to give something up in the short term in order to get something back in the long term."
"The way that the UN will ultimately find a constituency in this country is, when we do as we're doing now, finally, around global warming and we understand that you can't deal with transnational threats unless you strengthen transnational institutions," Ms. Power asserted. "You can't, just as a structural matter," she added.
She then claimed that "counter-terrorism provides an opportunity to reintroduce American's to international institutions," as well. Explaining that, in her view, "we cannot get cells in 111 countries on our own."
Ms. Power also saw "an opening and a moment to potentially actually invigorate the conversation about, you know, a different relationship to international institutions" in what she viewed as "the loss of faith in our competence."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
The situation when the interest in added to principal - as "adjustments" is referred as a reversed mortgage.
Please see for reference IRS publication 936 - www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf
A reverse mortgage is a loan where the lender pays you (in a lump sum, a monthly advance, a line of credit, or a combination of all three) while you continue to live in your home. With a reverse mortgage, you retain title to your home. Depending on the plan, your reverse mortgage becomes due with interest when you move, sell your home, reach the end of a pre-selected loan period, or die. Because reverse mortgages are considered loan advances and not income, the amount you receive is not taxable. Any interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage is not deductible until you actually pay it, which is usually when you pay off the loan in full. Your deduction may be limited because a reverse mortgage loan generally is subject to the limit on Home Equity Debt.
So your mortgage may be viewed partly as conventional mortgage and partly as reserved mortgage. Thus - the interest which was accrued but was not actually paid is not deductible until you actually pay it.
Sorry if you expected a different answer.
Let me know if you need any help.
