Jennifer Lawrence & Royal Family: People's 2013 Most Intriguing of the Year
She's one of the most popular ladies in the business, so it's no surprise that People magazine hand picked Jennifer Lawrence to front its 2013's Most Intriguing of the Year issue.
The gossip publication celebrated the 23-year-old actress' biggest accomplishments this past year, including her Oscar win for Best Actress in "Silver Linings Playbook" and the release of her two films "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "American Hustle."
Also making People's list are stars including Angelina Jolie, Pope Francis, Duck Dynasty's Robertson family and British Royals Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince George of Cambridge.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Jennifer opened up about her disdain for others poking fun at celebrities during her interview with Barbara Walters earlier this week.
Miss Lawrence asked, "Why is humiliating people so funny? I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV. I get it, and, and I do it too, we all do it..."
JLaw continued, "[But] the media needs to take responsibility for the effect that it has on our younger generation, on these girls who are watching these television shows, and picking up how to talk and how to be cool."
"I mean, if we're regulating cigarettes and sex and cuss words, because of the effects they have on our young generation, why aren't we regulating things like calling people fat?" she added.

The last thing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants Los Angeles to believe is that he has checked out of his job, that he's just going through the motions as he heads into his final years as mayor.
"Look, I've been here making the tough decisions," Villaraigosa said in an interview at his City Hall office. "But I am not beyond criticism.
"I am humble enough to recognize that what you are saying is that people want me to be more. I recognize that there need to be changes. That I need to get out there and get my story out."
Villaraigosa, who began the second year of his final term on July 1, was responding to a Daily News editorial challenging the mayor to show he is still engaged in the city's issues — on everything from day-to-day management to problems like pension reform, planning, environment and economic development.
The challenge comes amid the city's worst financial crisis in decades, with unemployment hovering above 12 percent, home foreclosures at near record highs and formerly middle-class families lining up at food banks and homeless shelters.
Warning that tough times still lie ahead, Villaraigosa said he's the man to lead Los Angeles out of the crisis. He also said he does not get enough credit for what he has done as mayor and some of the tough decisions he's had to make.
"In the last three years, we have had to cut more than $1billion in services," Villaraigosa said. "We reduced the work force by 3,500 people out of 14,000 in the civilian general fund work force.
"We have police officers and firefighters who have lost their overtime and are taking furlough days. Other cities are closing down police and fire stations and eliminating library service completely. We have cut it back to five days a week. When I first took office we opened new libraries and expanded hours to unprecedented levels. Now we have to cut back.
"Every city, county and state government is hurting because of the economy, and it could get even worse next year. You don't make those decisions if you are disengaged."
And, he said, the financial difficulties that everyone is experiencing have resulted in public disenchantment.
"There is probably not one official, other than President Obama, who can claim even a plurality of support," Villaraigosa said. "I understand that, and that's partly why I am accepting your challenge to me."
Villaraigosa said for more than the past year he had responded to earlier criticism that he was the "photo op" mayor interested in only promoting himself in the city.
"I probably overreacted to that," Villaraigosa said. "They said I was in constant campaign mode and I was running for the next office. That I was too busy being out to make decisions. Now, people are saying I need to get out more.
"I can almost guarantee if I do get out and do more, that criticism will come back. But I do recognize it is important to tell what we are doing."
Among his other key decisions, he said, was to remain mayor rather than run for governor.
"I felt I had to stay here because of the problems we have and deal with them," Villaraigosa said. "And I look at this job as the last public service job I will have. I am making the decisions to make this a better city, even with all we are facing.
"We are still in a crisis and I am going to have to lead us out of it. We can't do it alone. But we need to address this crisis."
Villaraigosa said he agrees with critics such as former Mayor Richard Riordan, who has complained about spiraling pension costs, on some of the problems facing the city and he has tried to address them.
Spiraling pension costs have been making big dents in the budgets of city, county and state government in recent years. Last year, the city contributed $653million to its two pension systems, and some officials project the figure could double to $1.3 billion within four years. Riordan has suggested the pension costs will force the city to declare bankruptcy.
Critics have said pension costs have been allowed to balloon because elected officials throughout California, but especially in Los Angeles, have been too friendly and generous with government employee unions.
"We will have pension reform on the ballot next year," Villaraigosa said, adding details are being worked out.
He has also called on unions to make even more concessions by accepting a 5 percent voluntary pay reduction.
"I have taken a 16 percent cut, because you lead by example," Villaraigosa said. "My office has taken more furloughs than any other office in the city."
The decisions of the past two years have involved the early retirement program worked out with the unions, the start of layoffs that will be spread out through this year and the need to raise rates at the Department of Water and Power.
All of those decisions have been controversial, and have generated fuel for the mayor's critics.
The DWP, in particular, has generated intense conflict with the City Council and local activists, who bristled at the large series of rate hikes the utility sought. During the tense council standoff, the DWP threatened to withhold $73 million from the city budget if it didn't get its rate hike, a move that critics likened to extortion and City Controller Wendy Greuel later said was unjustified.
"I didn't wake up one day and say we need to raise rates," Villaraigosa said. "But we had this report we were losing millions of dollars each year. We were faced with a downgrade in our ratings by Fitch and we were losing $6 million a month."
The mayor also denied assertions that he has shifted responsibility for running the city to others, particularly Austin Beutner, who has the title of first deputy mayor for economic development and has been serving as interim general manager of the Department of Water and Power.
"He comes in here and tells me what he wants to do," Villaraigosa said. "But I make the decision. When you're a manager, you delegate. I have good people and I trust them."
Villaraigosa, who broke his elbow in a bicycle accident last weekend, said he is still in some pain from the operation to repair it from eight different breaks, which involved placing a metal plate and several screws in his arm.
His right hand is swollen to twice its normal size.
"My elbow was between the size of a tennis ball and a grapefruit almost immediately," Villaraigosa said, adding a decision was made not to call for paramedics.
"Fortunately, my security was there and they took me to the hospital."
What did impress him, he said, was the response from witnesses. One person, on a bicycle, sped away to get him an ice pack. Residents also rushed out with towels and ice to try to help.
"They didn't know I was the mayor until I took off my helmet and sunglasses," Villaraigosa said. "I feel blessed it wasn't worse."
Villaraigosa said he has decided against taking time off, including a Monday appearance at an animal shelter where his girlfriend, newswoman Lu Parker, organized a volunteer event and, on Thursday, appearances at an anti-gang summer night lights program. He also has been working from the Getty House, the mayor's official residence.

WASHINGTON - The Affordable Care Act will create a healthier population less burdened by excessive medical bills and the fear of economic ruin from getting sick.
That increased physical and financial security for consumers will translate into a healthier business environment for health providers, insurers, suppliers and the rest of our national economy.
Consumers drive the economy, and they will see the most positive benefits from the health-care act. It is projected that 30 million uninsured or underinsured Americans will now be able to access affordable care.
That's 30 million new customers for the health-care industry, whether it is insurance companies providing coverage, care providers delivering services or the vast network of suppliers for the industry producing health-care related products.
In 2012, health-care hiring accounted for nearly 300,000 jobs or one-sixth of the total new jobs for the year. This trend will continue under the ACA. This alone will create jobs boosting local economies everywhere.
One of the largest impacts of the ACA is the expansion of Medicaid, a state-based health-care program for low-income families. Improved health, both physical and financial, for the poor residents in participating states should boost local economies as more invigorated citizens shop, work and start small businesses.
The workforce should be strengthened by having more people receiving the necessary care they need to stay healthy and productive as employees. Healthier and more productive workers generate more income.
Another positive effect of the Affordable Care Act is the slowing of health-insurance cost increases. Many would argue that cost containment fell short in the ACA, and there certainly is more to be done in that area.
However, it is hard to overlook the impact of adding millions of younger, healthier and, therefore, lower-risk people to insurance rolls. Young people are among the largest groups of the uninsured and directly benefit from the ACA's provision allowing coverage through parents' plans up to age 26. The health insurance industry stands to gain significantly from having young people enrolled, offsetting the costs of insuring older individuals and those with pre-existing conditions, thus moderating rises in premiums paid by consumers.
Other positive impacts include portability of health coverage, which frees workers to move to better jobs, thus adding to the fluidity of the labor market and tax credits making it easier for individuals and small businesses to get coverage.
Some impacts are already being seen and others will be soon. Any short-term hardship that may come from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act will certainly be offset by the many positive economic outcomes of providing more and better health care to more of the American people.
Yes, it will boost hiring, productivity

According To The Left
posted at 2:36 pm on June 2, 2009 by Laura Curtis
It's interesting, what the left finds worthy of outrage.
Acceptable terms: Christianist, Christian Fundamentalist Terrorism, Forced Birther
Unacceptable terms: Islamist, Islamic Terror, Jihadi, Terrorist
Good: Bank protesters, even when bank protesters routinely cause tens of thousands of dollars in vandalism all over the world.
Bad: Abortion protesters, who are regulated and litigated to a fare thee well.
Good: ACORN sending protesters out to AIG executive's "lavish" homes.
Bad: Sending news producers out to "ambush" newsworthy abortionist at home.
Good: Malkin Watch (link to WaPo article that mentions it, not the site itself)
Bad: Tiller Watch
Good: "therapeutic abortion" which George Tiller used to end the lives of thousands of human babies.
Bad: Young men and women who are legally of age, voluntarily enlisting in the armed forces. (The left routinely describes these adults as "babies.")
Understandable dissent: Weather Underground's planned and actual acts of domestic terrorism
Possibly (or at least should be) A Crime: Bill O'Reilly's "jihad" against George Tiller
Associated: everybody who has ever said they do not approve of abortion on demand is required to disavow Tiller's murderer and condemn this crime. Failure to do this means you tacitly approve of his murder. Making any comment about Tiller's line of work which does not infer he was heroic for doing it means you tacitly approve of his murder.
Not associated: Barack Obama has no connection whatsoever to the acts of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground or the words of Jeremiah Wright that Obama sat in the pew and listened to for twenty years. Unless he specifically says he agrees with those men and all their/his fellow travelers on any given topic, he is presumed to disagree.
Chickens coming home to roost: 9/11
Unreserved, inexcusable evil: George Tiller's murder

Moscow (Nov. 20)
"Speak Russian. We don't understand Yiddish," was the reply received by a delegation of Jewish children who appeared today before the local Soviet in Horky, in the Minsk region, to ask for library facilities. The children had submitted a petition in Yiddish in the name of their school asking for library facilities.
The president of the Soviet, who knows hardly a word of Russian himself, demanded that the children address him in Russian and rewrite their petition in Russian notwithstanding the fact that 80 per cent of the members of the Soviet are Jews who know no other language but Yiddish.

Fallen Croatia face 'mission impossible'
Page Tools
Lisbon: France are reunited with Croatia six years on from an epic World Cup semi-final in which the Balkan side almost gatecrashed the hosts' party, before going out 2-1 to the eventual champions.
Croatia have lost ground on the world's best teams since, and a new generation of players showed little creativity in their tedious opening 0-0 draw with Switzerland.
Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader has described as "mission impossible" the task of beating the reigning champions and coaching staff are preparing to field several second-choice players in Leiria.
"Our goal is to stay undefeated against France but we will play without pressure because we're not favourites," said assistant coach Drazen Ladic. "It would not be a tragedy to lose to a team like that."

New Music Melee: Katy Perry 'Roar' Vs. Lady Gaga 'Applause'
It has been quite some time since we've heard a new single from either Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, but this week both of them have dropped highly anticipated singles on us.
It has been quite some time since we've heard a new single from either Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, but this week both of them have dropped highly anticipated singles on us.
It's not the first time that these two boy bands have gone up against each other. The Wanted and One Direction have a little feud, and their fans have always defended them all the way. So whose fans will come to bat for them in this latest music battle?
On th heels of her big hit 'The Way', Ariana grande enters the new music melee ring to take on some veterans of the business, the Backstreet Boys.
After retiring Miley Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop' from our New Music Melee battles, it's time to get the next battle going. Two veterans of the music biz will go head to head, as Pink battles Jay Z.
After beating out all of her competition for the better part of two months, the current champion of our New Music Melee battles, Miley Cyrus, is going out on top.
Once again, Miley Cyrus has taken down a giant with her latest New Music Melee win. She beat out Taylor Swift's 'Everything has Changed' by a pretty large margin.
In our first ever New Music Melee, Miley Cyrus was able to edge out Selena Gomez to move onto another round. She now faces Taylor Swift.
After edging out Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus is ready for round two of our New Music Melee, and this time she is taking on the one and only Justin Bieber.
We are barely into June and already we are seeing new songs every single week. This week, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez dropped new singles.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by American college football's ever-expanding postseason. At the rate they keep tossing new games into the mix by 2025 the bowl population will be bigger than Bowling Green Kentucky.
Fresh additions to the already heaping campus gridiron stack include the New Mexico Bowl, the Birmingham Bowl and the International Bowl which kicks off January 6th at Toronto's Rogers Centre pitting a selection from the Big East against an opponent from the Mid-American Conference. Not only is the International Bowl a Canadian first but it's also the first bowl game to be played outside the U.S. since the Bacardi Bowl was held in Havana back in 1937. The Cuban experiment, a 7-7 stalemate between Auburn and Villanova ought to have been named the Siesta Bowl because it lulled spectators to sleep.
Also new to the now 32-course menu in 06-07 is what promises to be the tastiest bowl of them all, the BCS Championship Game. This blockbuster bowl lets the two top dogs in the final BCS standings knock helmets for all the marbles.
This addition is an inspired move as casual football fans everywhere will no longer have to scratch their heads every January trying to remember which bowl is the big one this time around: the title game matching-up the two top ranked teams in Division 1-A Football as determined by the Coaches Poll, The Harris Interactive Poll and the Computer rankings previously rotated between the Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar bowls.
HOW TO SCORE A DATE TO THE BOWLS: Breaking Down the Most Complicated Playoff Qualification System in Sports
Getting attuned to tournaments like the NCAA Basketball Championships, the World Series of Poker, and even the FIFA World Cup is a cinch compared to the bamboozling college bowl system.
Despite simplifying things by nixing the whole musical chairs championship arrangement and inventing a separate bowl to host the title game, the current bowl system still requires a Masters degree in actuarial sciences to fully get a grip on it.
The math starts out easy enough. There are 32 Bowl Games. That means 64 of the 119 Division 1-A teams are bowl bound. The only prequisite for bowl eligibility is a 6-6 or better record. Now it gets confusing. It takes a lot more elbow grease and statistical mojo to qualify for one of the big bowls: Rose, Fiesta, Orange, Sugar and the National Championship game. There are two pools from which contestants are selected into these contests: automatic Qualifiers and at-large squads, also known as wild cards.
If you're an ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 or SEC champ then you've earned an automatic bowl berth. However if you're a Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference, or Western Athletic Conference champ sorry small fry, don't pack your bags just yet. Underdog conference leaders get a free bowl pass only if they manage to play their way into the top 12 of the final BCS standings, or finish in the top 16 and still manage to finish in a higher spot then a champion that is bequeathed an automatic berth.
Then there's the Notre Dame clause. The famous Fighting Irish, the most valuable brand in college football are guaranteed a bowl trip if they finish in the top eight of the BCS standings. Sure it's a tad bit unfair but without the Irish we wouldn't have the cinematic gem Rudy, the best jock tearjerker since Brian's Song.
The remaining spots, provided there are less then 10 automatic qualifiers, are filled by teams in the at-Large pool, squads that have won at least nine regular season games and also finished in top 14 of the BCS standings.
SIDEBAR: 2 For the Show-Who to Pull For?
To really drink in the bowls you've got to find a team that can light your couch on fire. Here are a fine pair of furniture smoking contenders to consider pledging your allegiance to.
OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (See them Jan 8, 8 p.m. on FOX in the National Championship vs Florida)
Pulling for a bunch of poisonous nuts or "gay acorns" as comedian John Stewart quipped while visiting Columbus may seem like a boneheaded play on the surface but rifle-armed QB Troy Smith and his motley crew of campus studs have been cracking their opponents apart like coconuts all season long. The Buckeyes boast a perfect 4-0 record in BCS competition. They last captured the national championship in 2002.
Cheer Do: Holler O-H and have a friend scream back I-O in response.
Cheer Don't: "It is not acceptable or a welcome tradition to set dumpsters or couches on fire to celebrate or mourn a football win or loss," Franklin County, Ohio prosecutor Ron O'Brien recently bemoaned.
MICHIGAN WOLVERINES (See them at the Rose Bowl Jan 1, 5 p.m. ABC against the USC Trojans)
Glomming onto the old yellow and blue (a team that's been a football colossus since knocking the ivy out of Stanford 49-0 in the first ever bowl game in 1902), will put you in the company of millions of fans including the 107 000 plus per game that hunker down in the Big House in Ann Arbor to root them on in person. Cheer do: If The Wolverines score a touchdown or break their opponents spirit with an interception help rub it in with this famous fist pumping fight song: "Hail! to the victors valiant/Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes/Hail! Hail! to Michigan the leaders and best..."
Cheer Don't: Refrain from throwing octopi. That's strictly a hockey thing.

Breaking their silence about the public feud between their two daughters, former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said Monday that the situation has pained them, but offered some political cover for their elder child, who is seeking a U.S. Senate seat in Wyoming.
Liz Cheney, 47, was criticized on Facebook on Sunday by her younger sister, Mary, 44, who is a lesbian and objects to Liz's opposition to same-sex marriage. Mary Cheney and her wife have suggested that Liz has always been supportive of their relationship and have questioned how she can do so while publicly opposing same-sex marriage.

I've decided that I want a divorce, but is it smart to open my own account before officially serving him papers?
If you need funds available to support yourself until support is ordered by court, definitely you should take money out of the joint account and put it in your own. If you have income sufficient to support yourself, or sufficient credit available on credit cards in your name only, then it isn't necessary. No matter what you do with funds now, it will not have any effect on how property is ultimately divided. In other words the money you transfer will still be characterized by the court as community property that is half his.
Technically if you choose to move funds, you should do it before you file for divorce, not just before you serve your husband.
This question is intended to be a summary of relevant California law where this attorney is admitted. It is not a complete answer or researched legal opinion. It is the policy of this firm to enter into a written fee agreement with all clients, and this answer does not create an attorneyAsk a similar question
While it's legally true that the money still belongs to both of you, from a practical matter , in Texas, monies spent while divorce is pending aren't usually added back in for the final property division unless it's a huge amount. This is a genera answer, but if I were planning a divorce or just found out my spouse was going to file, I'd withdraw some funds before he withdrew the whole thing.

The Illusion of Certainty
By: Rev. Dr. Jerry S. Maneker
"For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)
Like many Christians, I have been curious and dismayed about what seems to be the increasing appeal of fundamentalism and fundamentalist thinking within Christianity. Actually, "fundamentalism," rather than being within the mainstream of orthodox Christianity, may more profitably be seen as a relatively recent phenomenon that may be seen to be a sect that has grown out of Christianity, rather than existing as a movement within the rubric of orthodox Christianity itself. It is, therefore, indeed ironic that many people have come to equate fundamentalism with Christianity itself, and very often view Christianity as a legalistic religion when, in fact, and quite the opposite, it is a call to freedom in Christ, and is a religion of grace, love, and peace.
The term "Fundamentalism" originated as a series of pamphlets published between 1910 and 1915. Entitled "The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth," these booklets were written by some leading evangelical churchmen and were circulated free of charge among clergy as well as in Seminaries. It was the emphasis on biblical criticism within Germany, as well as the beginning popularity of Darwin's theory of evolution dealing with the origin of the universe, to which conservative churchmen responded. The result was the pamphlets. In 1920, a journalist and Baptist layman named Curtis Lee Laws coined the term "fundamentalist" as a designation for those who were ready "to do battle royal for the Fundamentals."
"The Bible is the sacred text of the Christian Fundamentalists. Indeed, if there is one single thing which binds Fundamentalists together, it is their insistence that the Bible is to be understood as literally true. Further, Fundamentalists see themselves as the guardians of the truth, usually to the exclusion of others' interpretation of the Bible. Fundamentalism in other faith traditions similarly proclaims guardianship of truth." (From: Religious Movements Home Page Project at the University of Virginia)
None of us want to have our comfort zones invaded or have our worlds rocked in any way! Many of us are relatively uncomfortable with ideas and behaviors that call into question those ideas that we have come to revere as deeply held truths, particularly when these "deeply held truths," and various ideas and behaviors, have been given approval by God as asserted by assorted clergy over the last several decades. Similarly, if any idea or any behavior is viewed by fundamentalists as contradicting "Gods Word," as they interpret it from the Bible, they feel duty bound to condemn that idea or that behavior and, despite rhetoric to the contrary, condemn the people holding that idea or who engage in that behavior.
Fundamentalisms main attraction seems to be its promise of "certainty" in a very uncertain world! Im reminded of what Jesse Jackson said upon the murder of Ennis Cosby, Bill Cosbys son: "We act as if life is certain and death is uncertain when, in fact, death is certain and life is very uncertain." Were frightened of this uncertainty and many people are, understandably, attracted to a voice that assures them that there is a certainty to be had by following the dictates of the Bible, or any other book viewed as "holy," as interpreted and espoused by clergy and others who claim a mantle of authority to interpret that book.
It seems to me that most people who gravitate to "progressive" and mainline churches are likely to be somewhat more comfortable coping with ambiguity or, at least, are likely to be more willing to explore the many gray and multidimensional aspects of life and the spirit than those who attend fundamentalist churches. Moreover, they are usually much more likely to see the need to integrate social justice concerns with their understanding of the Gospel.
Clearly, when one is fearful and/or antagonistic to the uncertainties of life, one of the likely byproducts of the ensuing fundamentalism is the need for association with like-minded people, resulting in the creation of a "them" so that there can be an "us." Hence, the incestuous socialization that we find in so many churches where people who aren't in total agreement with the mind-set of the pastor and the congregation are considered "outsiders" and even "enemies" of both the people themselves but also are considered enemies of the "Truth" as the congregation sees that "Truth" as they interpret it from the Bible.
The need, sometimes the desperate need, to live in "certainty" drives many to torture logic, and deny even the most basic axioms of rationality, and assert such fallacies as the earth merely being about ten thousand years old, the lack of the existence of dinosaurs on the earth as the Bible doesnt mention them, denial of the possibility of evolution as they (erroneously) think that it contradicts the existence of a Creator, etc. Although fundamentalism is attractive to many for malignant reasons, as well as to those with insufficient intelligence to deal with the many ambiguities of life, many people live in fear, and fundamentalism promises deliverance from fear by hammering home a view of God, the Bible, the world, and of people that breeds the illusion of "certainty" in an uncertain world, controlled by a God they have the temerity to claim they understand.
"We are fearful people. Fear has become an obvious dwelling place, an acceptable basis on which to make our decisions and plan our lives. Those we fear have a great power over us. Those who can make us afraid can also make us do what they want us to do.
"People are afraid for many reasons, but I am convinced that the close connection between power and fear deserves special attention. So much power is wielded by instilling fear in people and keeping them afraid. As long as we are kept in fear we can be made to act, speak, and even think as slaves. The agenda of our world - the issues and items that fill newspapers and newscasts - is an agenda of fear and power. It is amazing, yes frightening, to see how easily that agenda becomes ours.
"But fearful questions never led to love-filled answers; underneath every fearful question many other fearful questions are hidden. Fear engenders fear. Fear never gives birth to love. A careful look at the gospels shows that Jesus seldom accepted the questions posed to him. He exposed them as coming from the house of fear. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? How often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? Is it against the law for a man to divorce his wife on any pretext whatever? What authority do you have for acting like this? Are you the king of the Jews? Lord, has the hour come? Are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel? To none of these questions did Jesus give a direct answer. He gently put them aside as questions emerging from false worries. They were raised out of concern for prestige, influence, power, and control. They did not belong to the house of God. Therefore Jesus always transformed the question by his answer. He made the question new - and only then worthy of his response." (Henri Nouwen, Lifesigns: Intimacy, Fecundity, and Ecstasy in Christian Perspective, 16-19).
As Nouwen pointed out, "fear engenders fear. Fear never gives birth to love." Because those who seek out Fundamentalism are likely to be very fearful people questing the certainty that fundamentalism promises, and which they perceive it provides, they are not likely be particularly loving people.
My wife and I spent about fifteen years in fundamentalist churches, for reasons that are best left for another article. In any case, we never really understood why most, though by no means all, of the people there were not particularly loving people.
For example, when they thought I was dying in the hospital from pancreatitis, my wife was a wreck and she called a "friend" and "prayer warrior" who was very well respected in the church we all attended. My wife asked her to pray for me because I was dying. This prayer warrior, who daily read and quoted from the Bible, and who led womens prayer groups, said, "I cant. Im too busy now." Believe me, if it didnt happen to us, Id have trouble believing it myself.
In another instance, when my wife was diagnosed with cancer not one of her "friends" or acquaintances, many of whom went to the fundamentalist church we went to, even picked up the phone to call her and ask her how she was feeling, let alone offer to help her in any way. Even the pastor never called! We were on our own! In another fundamentalist church the pastors wife told my then sixteen year old daughter that she was "a tool of Satan" because she listened to rock music. An acquaintance of mine, who went to a fundamentalist church, recently told me that the pastors wife approached him and said that she had heard that he was thinking of leaving that church. He replied, "Im praying about it." She replied, "I suggest you leave now."
When one is afraid, one usually doesnt have the psychic energy to empathize with another person, particularly when it is felt that the other person might conceivably be a "burden" in one way or another. Chronic fear, like any other type of neurosis, breeds self-absorption and, therefore, makes it rather unlikely that that person will seek to help out another person, since virtually all of that persons psychic energy is being spent on "keeping it together." And, fundamentalisms success is that is does, in fact, help those who are fearful of life, of ambiguity, of the unknown, and of the complex multidimensional aspects of life and of God, "keep it together."
For many people, fundamentalism is a desperately needed form of psychotherapy! This fact is not all bad! Most of us want safe places, safe havens, in which to rest, even if it means having our complex and existential problems addressed by a simple Bible verse, or by a rather trite remark such as, "God doesnt give us any more than we can handle."
This illusion of certainty, although it serves a needed psychological and social purpose for many of those who seek out fundamentalism, has another, much more dangerous, downside. Fundamentalism, by its very nature, requires that there be scapegoats! In the fundamentalist frame of mind, there has to be an "us," and for there to be an "us" there has to be a "them." And the current "them," the enemy de jour, is LGBT people!
The psychological need for certainty morphs over to the social need for bonding with like-minded believers. Therefore, its "us" against "them!" Anyone who is viewed as not seeing God, the Bible, or the world as that person does is viewed as the outsider, the enemy. In my experience, many people in fundamentalist churches dont even see those who go to "progressive" (Seeking to apply biblical principles, rather than apply every biblical and cultural practice, to contemporary social problems and issues.) churches as being "Christian."
Furthermore, those who dont believe or act in the way that fundamentalists believe is in the will of God, which is usually consistent with their own prejudices and stated behaviors, is viewed as "the other," "the enemy." And, to preserve our way of life, and be true to "Gods Word," as these fundamentalists insist and perceive it, they come to deny "the other" the dignity and civil rights and civil liberties that they, the fundamentalists, take for granted are their God-given right to possess. Clearly, such a mind-set is not merely putting oneself in a psychological prison, quite contrary to the fact of the Apostle Pauls assertion in the Scripture verse that precedes this article, but is ripe for fostering a climate of fascism that pays off for many politicians and religious leaders who frequently work hand-in-hand with each other for their own mutual material, financial, and what many perceive to be their own spiritual gain.
By its very nature, the psychological and social needs of most fundamentalists require that there be a scapegoat! There must be some constructed "enemy" against which to rail, so that ones world-view is reinforced, and so that in-group solidarity is maintained. The famous sociologist, Emile Durkheim, gave us what is probably the closest thing to a law in social life. He said that when you have a threatening out-group, the in-group unites to protect itself against it.
Therefore, in order for there to be in-group solidarity, there must be an out-group which must be fought against. Even if there is no ready-made out-group(s), the in-group, the fundamentalists in this context, will actively, perhaps unconsciously, seek to create them until they find one or more that are viewed as "politically correct," relatively "safe," and "appropriate" to persecute. At one time the group was women; at another time it was African Americans; now its gay people. Even when it is no longer politically correct or appropriate to oppress gay people, fundamentalists will tenaciously seek out another out-group, as fundamentalism requires at least one out-group for it to not only flourish, but to even exist. In fundamentalism, there must be an "us," and there cant be an "us" without a "them!"
Its always important to remember that Christians are principally defined by only two characteristics: the love for God, in that we trust God over and above seen circumstances; loving other people. Ones theology is relatively unimportant, in that there can be a wide variety of theologies and Christology among Christians. "Love" is what is important in the Christian life but, as shown above, since love cant be a priority among those who live in fear and require black and white answers in a very grey world, fundamentalists emphasize ones "theology" as being the criterion for membership in the Christian community.
Christians know the truth that "It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud." (Proverbs 16:19) Most fundamentalists cant psychologically or socially afford to absorb this central tenet of the Christian life. They may mouth such shibboleths as, "Hate the sin and love the sinner," but the fact is (and, frequently, the consequences of their words and actions are) that they show themselves to hate those who they view as in any way opposing their views of God and of the world.
Freedom and humility are antithetical to fundamentalism! The Gospel of grace, faith, love, peace, reconciliation, and inclusiveness is antithetical to the arrogance that is part and parcel of fundamentalism! "Humility" is inconsistent with the belief that only ones own views are the right ones, and all other views are wrong; those who claim divergent views, or engage in behaviors deemed ungodly or inappropriate by those who claim sole authority in interpreting the Bible and knowing "Gods will" are, therefore, usually viewed as not "moral" or "Christian," or "in the will of God."
Fundamentalist and allied churches meet deeply felt psychological needs of increasing numbers of people, and provide a safe space for incestuous socialization that reinforces the one-dimensional thinking and view of the world of many of these people, and provide a measure of comfort for their angst in wrestling with a world and a with a God none of us can really comprehend.
These churches are currently meeting deeply felt psychological and social needs of people. At a time of rapid economic, social, and technological changes, and the consequent fears that they generate, increasing numbers of people are looking for a measure of "certainty" that fundamentalism promises to provide.
And, many people tenaciously seek to grab on to this "certainty," despoiling their own potential for psychological growth, and even and unwittingly do so at the expense of preserving and enriching the very fabric of civility of their society, even if this "certainty" is ultimately an illusion.

PICU Holds Off Central-Line Infections For Full Year
On July 7, the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical New York, announced an important celebration: Its 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) became the first in New York State to go an entire year without a central-line infection. And, it became an important milestone in a movement to use teamwork to promote patient safety.
"We're not the first unit that's done it [for a year]. There are three or four others. But it's still quite an achievement, and we're going to go for two years now," says Peter Silver, MD, chief of critical care medicine at the medical center, formerly known until this past spring as Schneider Children's Hospital.
The achievement was part of a collaborative effort among PICUs, coordinated by the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI), to eliminate pediatric catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CA-BSI). The goal was to take what was in the literature about targeting infections and enforcing it in the PICUs, Silver says.
When the PICU started its project to eliminate CA-BSI in September 2008, the infection rate was 4.7 infections per 1,000 central line days, and it was experiencing a central-line infection every 28 days," Silver says. The initial goals was to reduce the infection rate by half, while doubling the time interval between infections.
For adult inpatient populations, efforts to reduce the incidence of CA-BSI in adult patients have been successful mostly by improving insertion techniques and using the chemical antiseptic, chlorhexidine. "We weren't that lucky in pediatrics because what our collaborative found was that 10% of the infections were associated with the catheter going in, and 90% were associated with how you took care of that catheter along the way—how you kept it sterile," Silver says.
To combat infections in pediatric populations meant focusing on the catheter maintenance procedures. The improvements included a 30-second scrub of the catheter port—what they called "scrub the hub"—with a special cleansing solution for each entry into the catheter to either administer a medication or sample blood and a new protocol for changing the catheter dressing.
But for the new patient safety procedures to work, it meant that the PICU staff need to develop a new way of staff communication to promote good patient care. The use of catheters became a topic for discussion on daily rounds with both nurses and physicians, and became a part of an open conversation among team members. "We transformed our culture," Silver says.
"Several years ago, if I were to put a central line in the patient, I would go to the bedside, and I would do it myself. Now we have a dedicated nurse observer who stands there with a checklist of all the things that I as the physician inserter must follow," says Silver. This includes hand washing, or wearing the proper mask, cap, and gown.
"Everybody on the medical team has a voice, and everybody has the right in the interest of patient safety to use that voice—actually has the obligation to use that voice to speak up in order to what is right for the patient," he says.
The results of the team approach have produced results: From July 7, 2009 to July 7, 2010, Cohen Children's Medical Center had zero infections for 2,574 central-line days. The national average is 2.9 infections per 1,000 central line days.
And, to keep the central-line infection issue front and center in the unit, a sign is posted in the unit that says how many days it has been since our last central line infection, Silver says.
"That's the greatest thing," Silver says. When nurses come back to work after a vacation, "it's the first thing that they look at: Are we still there? Parents even look at it."
"We have over 100 staff members, from all parts of our team, who are responsible for that achievement, and it only takes one mistake to bring it back down to zero," he says. "Everybody is focused on doing everything in their power to make sure that avoidable mistakes do not happen—especially on their watch."

About MeHey there....My name is ErinAshley
I have never been so great with these bios which is hilarious since in real life I rarely stop talking! I recently turned 29 and very comfortable with who I am tho so lets see what I can come up to describe me...
I am an experienced model always looking to upgrade and fine tune my portfolio. I have participated in modeling training incl etiquette, runway and makeup classes as well as numerous photo shoots, photo workshops and a couple runway shows. I am adventuresome, free spirited, open minded and easy to get along with. I feel as though I take direction well and am comfortable with taking criticism, but am also able to work well with minimal guidance. In addition, I possess a willingness to explore outside, exotic or unique locations...
With that being said I am really looking to diversify my portfolio. I am open to most creative ideas. If there is something that you have always wanted to try and think that I may fit the look you have in mind, just let me know. I am looking to bring some creative, tasteful ideas to life.
I am definitely willing to travel far distances if expenses are covered...

If we don't try, we'll never know!
Have a great day!!

Okay, reviewing time. ~ 21:03, 25 March 2011
|Prose and formatting
Appearance, flow, overall presentation...
|Alright, I'll start here, as you've expressed an interest in this... and it also kind of needs it. Sorry about the {{ugly}}, by the way. I've been going through and fixing some bits, formatting in general, adding some links (though only on the first half), an image for an example - you don't need to make your own; even stealing them from wikipedia, or pulling images off other articles or off google searches can work.
First thing that strikes me is your overall tone - who is the speaker? Why are they speaking? Is this supposed to read as a normal encyclopedia article, or a school report, or a random blog, or something else? It doesn't matter terribly what, so long as it makes sense, there is a reason for that that conceptually makes sense, and so long as you stick to it. The fact that I can't entirely tell isn't a good sign at this stage, but it can be resolved if you go through and make it more consistent. As it is, it seems to be a guy too close to the subject trying to write a normal encyclopedia article and not really succeeding, which is something that can work quite well if you can pull it off. But you need to be more subtle, if that is indeed the case - if you can make it more like a normal Wikipedia article[1] in structure and presentation, but full of bias and personal experience and even random comments that only someone who was there would include. The current random comments, the parenthesised bits, however, are a little too random - I've been moving some of them to footnotes, which is one way to keep them from disrupting the main flow, but things like saying to (Note the rhymes)... it's too blatant, doesn't help the tone, and doesn't have any reason according to the article itself why that is actually explicitly said. Why would you speaker be saying any of this? If there is a why and you can get that across, that will help immensely.
But parentheses and footnotes are both rather messy, when one gets right down to it. More often, if you can work the contents into the flow of the rest of the prose, it will work a lot better. Make it part of a sentence, or an elaboration on a thought, or an example that flows from the previous bit. Everything should flow from what precedes it, mind.
There is nothing wrong with bringing up subjects that will be touched upon later in the article, but please don't say things like, "i'll explain this one later." Just mentioning it and moving on is better, like with the mask[2] - why not say what folks made of the mask at the time? When you introduce something in a chronological sense, introduce it as it introduced at whatever time, and thus the relevance and impact at the time will make more sense, as well as opening the door for potential jokes about it. Then later get into how it started being called headgear, whenever that happened, and go into why... keep things in order.
Another messy thing is the abbreviations and whatnot. It becomes very conversational in places - if you are going to make the article conversational, that can work, but it needs to be consistently so, and there needs to be a reason for it, and you still need to format it well - please, avoid randomly capitalising things. If you need to emphasis things, use italics and bolding and whatnot; save the all caps for yelling.
The idea, the angle, the grand funny of the article...
|So the question is, just what are you doing with this? I mentioned already that you should consider your speaker, and that subsequent tone should fit - and this will derive from your overall concept. What is the piece saying, who is saying it, and why, and to whom? And why is this funny? Whatever you do should be a twist, or unexpected, or whatnot. Build off something that really is the case - play upon the headgear for the entire thing, perhaps, or make it as if it's written by some stalker or... something. Whatever it is, be consistent and use it throughout the entire thing. You have the beginnings of several notions here already, but the lack of focus, as well as the disorder and inconsistency of the piece, prevents any of them from doing much. Pick something and use it.
The implementation, how funny the article comes out...
|Subtlety is important in humour, a lot of the time. Remember this.
Anyhow, make your jokes fit with your concept and whatnot and they'll probably be more effective, but until you sort out what you're even doing with the piece, there's not much I can say. The opening quote and discography mean nothing to me; not really funny. The parts in which you literally repeat what you already said don't really serve much purpose, either. You may want to concern yourself with the purposeless stuff, as much as what's funny. If parts aren't there for any particular reason, aren't adding to the overall funny of the piece, aren't individual jokes, aren't building up to or part of any, then why are they even there? Everything should be there for a reason.
The graphics themselves, as well as their humour and relevance...
|Technically, you didn't have any images when you put this in for a review, so it's a 0 for that. I mean, I added an image, but the caption's terrible, and it really needs more. But like I said, you can pull your images from anywhere, and don't need to make your own; so long as they're in the article for a reason, fair use generally covers even the copyrighted ones. You can also request others make images at RadicalX's Corner, not that RadicalX ever makes any anymore...
Anyhow, point is, images don't be in of themselves funny. So long as they tie into and support the article and/or have funny captions, that's the important part. So get ones that fit your concept and your sections, and you should be swell.
Anything else... or not...
|I sure like TV... and wearing pants.
|Final score
~ 05:09, 26 March 2011
|Take your time with this. Figure out what you're doing, and establish that and organise the overall thing accordingly, playing it out as you go. The entire thing should look and read and amuse much more effectively, if so... good luck. I hope this helps, and, er... feel free to stop by and ask if you have any questions or whatnot.

According to a source, Ashley and James are holding hands, and at one point Ashley sits on James' lap and steals a kiss.
James Franco and his "Spring Breakers" co-star Ashley Benson were reportedly "1000% hooking up" at "Spring Breakers" after party. On March 14, James, Ashley, and other co-stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens attended "Spring Breakers" premiere in Los Angeles. James and Ashley were said not being able to keep their hands off of each other on red carpet.
After the red carpet session, James and co-stars entered Cinema Dome for the movie screening. James and Ashley opted to sit side-by-side inside the cinema. The two reportedly got cozy to each other as they laughed on their seats when the screen showed their respective scenes.
According to HollywoodLife report, however, more steamy moment happened at the after party. Ashley kept holding James' hand while James put his other hand on her back. Ashley later sat on James' lap and stole a kiss.
James and Ashley had been rumored having a romantic relationship. People started speculating about their relationship when the two made a video parody of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend". The video garnered hot reaction because at that time Justin took it as a sign that Ashley cheated on his friend, Ryan Good.
On another occasion, Ashley commented on her threesome scene with James in "Spring Breakers". "We're very comfortable. It turned out amazing," she gushed. The pair was also said catching "Skyfall" movie together last year.
