Greatest Health Threat Largely Overlooked by Northern California Women
Sutter Health Launches Outreach Program to Educate, Treat Early
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 29, 2004—More than 80 percent of Northern California women aged 40 to 70 are potentially at risk for a first heart attack, according to a recent study by the not-for-profit Sutter Health network of physicians and hospitals. However, only 30 percent of these same women regarded themselves as at risk. With coronary risk factors like obesity, diabetes and hypertension on the rise, Sutter physicians and hospitals are working together to launch today the Women's HeartAdvantage, a multi-year outreach and educational program to help women in the north state understand their significant risk, identify warning signs and live heart-healthy lives.
"Our experts are collaborating to create one strong voice to educate women about heart health and encourage them to talk with their doctors," said Russell Stanten, M.D., cardiac and thoracic surgeon at Sutter-affiliated Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley and Oakland. "An overwhelming number of women right in our backyard don't realize they're at risk for a heart attack. Heart disease isn't just a man's disease. It's the number one killer of women."
More women than men have died of heart disease every year since 1984. In Sutter Health's random survey of 2,200 Northern California women ages 40 to 70, 89 percent of participants self-reported at least one factor that puts them at risk for heart disease. Fifty-nine percent of these women did not perceive themselves to be at risk. Only 8 percent reported no risk factors. Risk factors were defined as 20 or more pounds over ideal weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, family history and estrogen deficiency.
Many women think breast cancer is their greatest health threat, yet more women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, accounts for 43.3 percent of all female deaths. Breast cancer accounts for 4 percent.
The good news is that most risk factors for heart disease can be modified. All women are encouraged to live a heart-healthy life, which includes moderate exercise, stress reduction, quitting smoking, eating the right foods, and regular talks with a physician about family medical history and personal risk factors.
But Sutter physicians say recognizing the risk and modifying behavior is just one component in preventing female deaths from heart disease. Knowing the most common heart attack symptoms for women also is key.
While most men experience chest pain as a warning sign of heart attack, less than 30 percent of women will report chest pain. More common symptoms in women may include discomfort or pain between the shoulder blades, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, indigestion or gas-like pain, and unexplained weakness or fatigue.
"A great key to fighting chronic illness is to be active and vigilant about our own health care long before the signs of illness appear," said Senator Deborah V. Ortiz, chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services. "Public education is critical to reversing the trends that threaten our community's health and vitality. I commend Sutter Health for launching Women's HeartAdvantage and for focusing attention and resources on this critical issue."
Heart care experts across the Sutter network also are working to ensure that primary care and emergency room physicians have the same access to the latest information regarding heart disease in women.
Once thought of as a man's disease, heart disease in women can look and act differently. National research indicates that because of these differences, women are less likely to be diagnosed and treated early.
"Our physicians and hospitals are working together to better understand the pathology of the disease in women – how does it present itself and what's different from what we've learned about men," said Diane Sobkowicz, M.D., cardiologist with Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento. "With the right information, we're able to take specific steps to improve education and treatment for our female patients. We're helping provide doctors and nurses with tools that can help them better assess patients' needs."
Sutter Health's Women's HeartAdvantage program is part of a nationwide effort by the VHA Inc., a national alliance of 2,200 not-for-profit health care organizations. Specifically, it includes ongoing physician and nurse education; educational materials for women available in physicians' offices; outreach to women through health fairs, their employers and community lectures; focused information available in community publications; and outreach through public media.
As part of it's clinical initiative around the treatment of heart attack, Sutter also has established clinical protocols based on scientific evidence of the most effective treatments. To continually improve the care they provide, the organization's hospitals and physicians will collect data and monitor outcomes of both men and women treated in their facilities.
Sutter Health is a family of not-for-profit hospitals and physician organizations that share resources and expertise to advance health care quality. Serving more than 100 communities in Northern California, Sutter Health is a regional leader in cardiac care as well as care of women and children, and is a pioneer in advanced patient safety technology.

SAS Programming for Business Analytics
SAS is one of the leading providers of business intelligence and predictive analytics software.
There is increasing demand in the graduate labour market for analysts with SAS programming skills. SAS is also becoming increasingly useful to analysts for combining different datasets into databases (data fusion) as well as for customising analytical modelling techniques. Organisations such as BT, Barclaycard, Littlewoods and GE money use SAS as their standard software for data analysis. In fact, it is such organisations that have advised us that we should be teaching basic SAS skills to our students.
This module is primarily a 'support' course on the various postgraduate programmes and courses. This module will provide an introduction to SAS programming whilst giving the participants experience of using an advanced data base and a versatile statistical programming language. SAS, through our relationship with them, are supporting this course.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module you should be able to:
- Access and combine complex data using SAS
- Explore data in SAS and conduct exploratory data and statistical analysis
- Analyse data and estimate regression models using SAS
- Produce output results, interpret them and write a report and/or presentation using the outputs
- Develop programmes in SAS for repetitive analysis
- Master the technical application of the SAS statistical programming language, including the incorporation of techniques and contributions from the relevant literature.
- Develop cognitive abilities and non-subject-specific skills in professional report writing and developing clarity of thought
Outline lecture plan
- Introduction to SAS software and the SAS programming language
- Reading/accessing data in SAS
- Combining and manipulating data in SAS
- Summary statistical analysis in SAS
- Modelling and analytics in SAS: linear regression

STATUES of the Olympic mascots Wenclock and Mandeville will be popping up around South Bucks today to drum up support for the Games.
A six foot Wenlock statue is going up in Gerrards Cross, and a Mandeville statue has been given pride of place outside the Beaconsfield Town Hall.
The statues are intended to get the local community more involved in the Games, and leave an Olympic legacy for the area.
Manager of the Bucks County Council 2012 programme team Ian Barham has been travelling around dropping off the statues today (Wednesday, July 25).
He said: "We have 12 statues to put up in South Bucks, we have the one each in Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and Burnham, two in Maidenhead, two in Windsor and four in Slough.
"As soon as we dropped them off people were taking their picture with them. It's all about building up excitement."
After the Olympics and Paralympic Games are over the statues will be removed, but Mr Barham hopes to find them a more permanent home locally.
He said: "A school could adopt them or a club, they'll stay in the area."
Have you spotted Wenlock or Mandeville? Send in your snaps to email@example.com with your name and where you spotted them.

Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd was sentenced to one year of probation after pleading guilty to drunken driving Wednesday.
Floyd also received a suspended sentence of one year in jail and cannot drive for 90 days as part of the plea, which was the third alcohol-related incident for Floyd since he enrolled at Notre Dame.
The resolution of the case could clear the way for Floyd to move forward in his attempt to play for the Irish this fall. The senior is currently suspended from the team due to the incident in March.
Irish coach Brian Kelly cleared Floyd to participate in voluntary summer workouts with the team. Kelly said earlier this month that Floyd still has work to do in order to return, but was optimistic the standout wide receiver would return to the field when the team opens against South Florida.
Floyd did not speak after the court hearing. His lawyer, William Stanley, said Floyd had gone through alcohol counseling since the arrest and had performed additional community service beyond his legal requirement.
"Never once did he ever try to give an excuse as to his actions or ever try to mitigate the seriousness of the offense," Stanley said.

For those who are tired of the abundant hype about Hollywood and Apple's iPad, here are a few items that caught my attention, and deserve yours:
-- In a new report, Bernstein Research analyst Michael Nathanson debunks the notion that Hollywood's doing just fine after last year's box office sales in North America increased 10.1% to $10.6 billion. Studio revenues actually fell 4.3% in 2009 -- the second consecutive decline, and the third in the last five years -- after you factor in the drop in DVD sales. Cash flow margins only improved because executives slashed costs, notably by releasing fewer films. The upshot: The movie business "appears more hit driven than ever," Nathanson writes. Given that increasing risk, and the fact that studios can't cut costs forever, investors should look elsewhere for companies that have "low overall exposure to film industry profits."
-- The Los Angeles Times's Claudia Eller has a predictably smart and thorough report this morning about Lions Gate Entertainment's effort to fight off billionaire Carl Icahn's hostile takeover attempt. The studio's stock has fallen about 40% over the last two years, closing Monday at $6.22, as recent movies including Daybreakers, The Spy Next Door, and From Paris With Love delivered disappointing results, franchises including the bloody Saw began to lose their edge, and the company made controversial investments in cable's TV Guide Network and a new movie channel called Epix. Icahn, who controls 19% of Lions Gate, says his $6 a share offer is generous. Others -- notably Gordon Crawford of Capital Research Global Investors, which owns 11% of the company -– say they're confident that they'll be better off waiting on the studio's investments in cable, TV shows such as AMC's Mad Men, and upcoming movies including The Hunger Games.
-- Before you shell out $500 for an iPad to serve as a reader for digitally delivered books and printed material, check out this shrewd critique by Staci Kramer at PaidContent.org. The only iPad available now uses WiFi to connect to the Web. Models that will use cell phone company wireless broadband, the way Amazon's Kindle does, are still weeks away. That makes today's iPads "vastly overpriced as an e-reader and in a world without ubiquitous (WiFi) access, underpowered for anyone used to being able to get reading material on the fly," Kramer writes. What's more: "Unlike (Amazon's) Kindle, which can be used across platforms and on multiple devices in addition to its own, Apple locks you in, making anything you buy now useless and inaccessible beyond the iPad."

20 Niagara County governments to join health consortium study
SOMERSET – All but one of the 21 local governments in Niagara County have agreed to take part in a study to determine whether a single countywide health insurance consortium would be feasible.
Somerset Supervisor Daniel M. Engert, who was chosen chairman of the steering committee at a meeting Tuesday night, said only the City of Niagara Falls is not on board so far.
Falls Mayor Paul A. Dyster said Wednesday that the city has to discuss the matter with its employee unions before making a move.
Engert set an informal deadline of Aug. 22 for latecomers to climb on board the study. He said North Tonawanda is regarded as likely to join, although its Common Council hasn't voted on the measure yet.
Thus, expected participants in the study include Niagara County government, two cities, all 12 towns and all five villages. Niagara County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz was chosen vice chairman of the ad hoc committee.
Engert said one of the steering committee's most important jobs will be to determine the design of the health-care plan or plans for which it intends to seek pricing. He pledged that whatever happens, workers won't lose out on benefits they already have.
"We're not going backward on plan design," Engert said. "We're not taking away what they bargained for."
The study, to be conducted by the consulting firm Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., will analyze the benefit packages of all municipalities and unions to determine whether each governmental unit could save money by contributing to a countywide insurance pool rather than keeping the health care status quo.
"We're looking at reporting back to the municipalities by February or so," Engert said. Each government will receive an individualized report.
The Gallagher firm isn't charging for the feasibility study. The company hopes to make money by being hired to organize the consortium, if one is formed.
Engert said the 20 units on board account for about 3,000 active and retired workers who received health insurance through their municipal policies. Dyster said Niagara Falls would increase that number by about 1,400: 800 retirees and 600 active workers on city health insurance.
"Niagara Falls is important," Engert said. "That will give us the greatest appeal to the (insurance) marketplace. We would be a very large elephant in Western New York in terms of pricing."
Dyster said, "We're not opposed in principle, but we want to know what our partners in the municipal unions think."
He said that when former Mayor Vince Anello got the unions to agree to a common city health plan, part of the deal was the formation of a health-care committee of labor and management that would have to approve any changes.
He said the city had recently started its own effort to find health insurance savings with help from the Brown & Brown accounting firm of Niagara Falls. Dyster said he thought abandoning that project without union input would look like "bad faith."
Engert said the Niagara Falls Housing Authority, which is independent of the city, sent a representative to the meeting and is interested in joining the study. He said some legal research will be needed to determine if the authority can be admitted.

One of the underground monitoring posts, in Stannington, Northumberland, fetched £7,000 and another at Hawkshead, Cumbria, went under the hammer for £11,000 at the auction on Thursday.
As an architectural curiosity the bunkers, two of around 1,500 in the UK, are much sought after, but the story of their Cold War-era occupants is less well known.
The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) was a voluntary organisation, entrusted with the task of monitoring and recording a nuclear attack on the UK.
Its job was to find out how many nuclear bombs were falling, where they might land, and to track the radioactive dust - or fallout - thrown up by any explosions, as it drifted across the country.
Three volunteers would carry out their task from each bunker, using an array of equipment crammed into the small room.
If a nuclear bomb or bombs were dropped nearby they were required to measure the detonation power, as well as the movement of radioactive dust.
Using sirens, they could warn the public of an imminent air or missile attack, or approaching fallout.
Subterranea Britannica, a society devoted to the study and investigation of man-made and man-used underground places, has catalogued all of the bunkers and studied the role of the ROC.
According to society member John Smiles, the military used alert states to indicate the severity of the situation. These were "black" (no threat), "black special" (possible threat), "amber" (high state of readiness) and "red" (war).
He said: "Amber was reached at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. Fortunately, that situation went no further, although fingers were on triggers.
"In the event of a nuclear attack, the bunkers were only intended to be manned for a total of two weeks.
"If there had been a blast nearby, the volunteers inside would be protected and could monitor the situation from the shelter.
"However, they could be instructed to go outside the bunker and check the infrastructure, for example to find out if a road was blocked.
"But after that time, radiation levels would have dropped enough to allow them to go outside for a limited period of time, perhaps to seek out alternative shelter and supplies.
"And anyone they encountered would most likely be in a worse state than them, having not being sheltered from the worst of the radioactivity."
The monitoring posts at Stannington and Hawkshead, both built in the 60s, are both well preserved and still contain much of the original equipment used by the ROC.
Many of the other sites around the country are slightly the worse for wear, either demolished or wrecked.
Mr Smiles said: "Usually, they're very popular with local kids. It doesn't take long for them to get in and trash the place.
"In fact, it's not unknown for them to use some kind of industrial cutting equipment to get past the hatch.
"But Stannington in particular is probably one of the best preserved bunkers in the country.
"Looking at the Stannington photographs, you can see a circular dish on the wall - that's the mounting for the bomb power indicator. And the metal pipe running to the roof was used to measure radiation levels outside.
"There would also have been a radio, to talk to the command post, and a simple one-way telephone. That wouldn't be much use; you can probably imagine the kind of damage a nuclear explosion would do to telegraph poles and telephone wires."
All posts were issued with hand-operated sirens and maroons - a type of firework which makes loud bangs - for alerting the public.
Using the siren to sound the "red" warning (a rising and falling note) indicated an imminent air or missile attack and the "white" warning (a steady note), indicated "all clear".
Computers' job
With the approach of radioactive fallout the maroon would be used to sound the "black" warning - a series of three explosions at close set intervals.
Following re-organisation in the 1960s some of the bunkers were closed, and in 1991 it was decided by the Home Office & Ministry of Defence that the ROC would cease active training. The remaining underground posts were closed at the end of September that year.
The ROC's job is now carried out by computers - monitors positioned around the country, which can automatically detect and pinpoint any missile attacks, and monitor fallout and radiation levels.
This is perhaps for the best, speculates Mr Smiles.
He said: "A computer will do exactly what it's told following a nuclear strike, and won't be worrying about its family."

If you've never grown clematis (say KLEM-uh-tis), you'll be surprised by the diversity of this plant. There are vigorous climbers and ground-hugging sprawlers. Some clematis have blooms as big as dinner plates, while others feature delicate bell-shaped flowers that look like fairy hats. Some are even evergreen, like Armand clematis (Clematis armandii) whose foliage is more significant than its flower. If grown correctly clematis add romance and color to the garden, but in our climate, they can be temperamental. Which is why we turned to clematis expert Lyndy Broder for her secrets to success with this favorite vine.
The container pictured holds 'H. F. Young' clematis (Group II), 'Diamond Frost' euphorbia, torenia, and variegated ivy.
Our expert tells you how to pick and care for popular clematis blooms.

Padres 9, Marlins 2: Logan Forsythe belted a two-run homer among his three hits and Will Venable had three RBI singles as San Diego breezed to victory in the opener of its 10-game road trip.
Yasmani Grandal and Alexi Amarista added run-scoring singles and Edinson Volquez tossed six solid innings for the Padres, who have outscored the Marlins 20-3 en route to winning all four meetings this season.
After Venable's first RBI single forged a 1-1 tie in the second inning, Forsythe gave San Diego some breathing room in the third. Forsythe jumped on 1-2 breaking ball from Ricky Nolasco (4-8) and deposited it into the first row of bleachers above the bullpen in left-center field for his third homer.
Giancarlo Stanton's RBI double in the bottom of the frame trimmed the deficit, but the Padres pulled away with a three-run sixth. Chase Headley singled to open the inning and moved to third on Kyle Blanks' double. Grandal's soft single to left plated Headley before Venable chased Nolasco with a line-drive RBI single to give San Diego a 5-2 lead.
The offense was more than enough for Volquez (6-6), who improved to 5-0 lifetime versus the Marlins. The 29-year-old Dominican recorded his 50th career victory after yielding two runs on seven hits while striking out eight.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Forsythe, who went 3-for-4, is 5-for-9 with three RBIs and three runs scored in his last two games. He went 0-for-10 in his previous two contests. Forsythe may see additional playing time as promising rookie 2B Jedd Gyorko experienced tightness in his strained right groin muscle during the first of two rehab games with Double-A San Antonio. ... The subject of trade rumors, Nolasco yielded six runs on 11 hits in five innings to take the loss. ... Prior to the game, San Diego recalled RHP Burch Smith from Triple-A Tucson to add another arm to the bullpen. Smith allowed just one hit in the final two innings to seal the win.

> There is little in this book which could be of interest to scientific ufologistsReplyDelete
Very ironic, being as Marden gives herself that label in "Captured!" At the start of that book, she enthused about the richness of relevant scientific works, yet she seems incapable then and now of citing much of it.
> Alleged independent witnesses only appear in the stories told by the main percipients
Marden has not learned from the Hill case, which has many examples of this very problem. Betty's social worker colleague, the Hills' tenants, Betty's relatives: cited as an expert or as witnesses to the alleged spots on the car, they are never quoted by Fuller; rather, their "testimony" was related by Betty herself.
> a higher proportion of abductees than a control group have symptoms of chronic fatigue
Which almost puts us back into the old categories of malingering and hysteria. I'm not saying there couldn't be genuine physiological cases of chronic fatigue; rather, sometimes a genuine but puzzling symptom might push people to cast about (sometimes wildly) for an explanation. Even Breuer and Freud noted way back that at the core of many of their hysterical cases there was a genuine physical of psychical injury.

The Friday Five
Losing My Religion: The Friday Five with Drew Dyck
Drew Dyck is the author of Generation Ex-Christian. He has served in a variety of ministry roles. Previously the editor of New Man magazine, Dyck is now the managing editor of Christianity Today International's Leadership Journal.
Drew stopped by today to answer questions for today's Friday Five:
Generation Ex-Christian is among quite a few books in the last few years sounding the alarm about the fate of faith in the next generation. What makes your book different?
I'm thrilled by the interest this topic is getting. Each book has had a slightly different approach. Some are written by youth and campus pastors who are witnessing the problem firsthand. Others are from academics providing research on the religious beliefs and practices of the next generation. I drew upon the studies out there, but I approached the issue as a journalist. I was saddened by watching some of my friends walk away from the faith, but I was also curious. What makes someone who grows up in the church, and seems to love Jesus, leave it all behind? So I sought out people who had rejected the faith and had in-depth conversations with them about their decisions. The stories were difficult to hear at times, but incredibly eye-opening.
I'm curious what you think of the analysis by Bradley Wright, who says that some of the more alarming statistics might not be completely accurate? And perhaps the problem is something every generation faces?
Brad is a friend, and I have a ton of respect for him. I think he's provided a helpful corrective to some of the more hysterical claims that we're going to completely lose an entire generation. But I'm afraid I don't share his sunny outlook. He points out that the baby boomers dropped out of church in young adulthood and many of them have returned. From what I can tell, he's assuming history will repeat itself. I'm not so sure it will.
There are three things that make this generation different. First, young adults today are dropping religion at a greater rate than young adults of yesteryear, "five to six times the historic rate," according to sociologists David Putnam and Robert Campbell. Second, young adulthood is not what it used to be—it's much longer. Marriage, career, children—the primary sociological forces that drive adults back to religious commitment—are now delayed until the late 20s, even into the 30s. Returning to the fold after a two- or three-year hiatus is one thing. Coming back after more than a decade is considerably more unlikely. Third, there's been a shift in the culture. Past generations may have rebelled for a season, but they still inhabited a predominantly Judeo-Christian culture. For those reared in pluralistic, post-Christian America, the cultural gravity that has pulled previous generations back to the faith has weakened. So I'm not banking on an automatic return. I think it's a scandal that these young adults are adrift spiritually and missing from our churches.

'Nightly News' Praises 'Goliath' Home Depot's Demise
How could job loss for 80 small-town residents be a "great story?" When it means the defeat of a "big box" "Goliath" said NBC.
On May 7, NBC "Nightly News" gleefully reported the closing of a Home Depot in Brattleboro, Vt. The closure is part of the company's plan to close 15 of its roughly 2,200 stores due to underperformance. NBC portrayed it as "David versus Goliath," and praised the little guys' victory over the big bad box store.
"Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams called it a "great story" and reporter Mike Taibbi called it, "in a man bites dog sort of way, an unlikely survivor story." (Maybe they're Jimmie Johnson fans?)
"It's not surprising that long-time residents, like John Morse back at the Ace [Hardware] store, collected thousands of petition signatures opposing Home Depot when it arrived four years ago and are cheering now because it's closing," Taibbi said.
Two smaller hardware stores, Ace and True-Value, stayed in business to compete with Home Depot when it opened its store, and the family-owned businesses are celebrating what they hope will spell the end of their "long, flat earnings" now that residents will have to get their hardware from mom-and-pop shops.
But Home Depot closing also means lost choices for consumers, who may face less convenient hours, smaller selections or higher prices at the mom-and-pop shops. But at least the store owner might know their name!
It also means 80 employees of Home Depot will be out of work. Taibbi insisted that "no one's cheering" that fact. Nonetheless, he featured two residents to did cheer it.
"People are going, 'Yes, yes, yes, we did it!" said Morse. The owner of the local True-Value hardware store, Glen St. John, said, "Here's a hometown True-Value that outlasted the big box store. That's exciting."

I was recently looking through a book written by The Christophers' founder, Maryknoll Father James Keller, in 1958, and came across this prayer for doctors that he wrote. It's timeless and embodies the spirit of godly service that should define the life of a physician. If you're a doctor yourself or know one, please pass along Father Keller's prayer to them:
"Thank you, O Lord, for the privilege of being a doctor; for letting me serve as Your instrument in ministering to the sick and afflicted. May I always treat with reverence the human life which You have brought into being. Keep me constantly alert to see that the sacred right to live is never violated for even the least individual.
"Deepen my love for people so that I will always give of myself gladly and generously to those stricken with illness and suffering. Help me to listen patiently, diagnose carefully, prescribe conscientiously, and follow through faithfully.
"Teach me to blend gentleness with skill to be a doctor with a heart as well as a mind. Let me be calm without being cold, patient without being weak, and strong without being proud. Help me Lord, to give encouragement without over-confidence to tell the truth without being blunt.
"May I be prompt to relieve pain quick to hold out the hand of honest hope. Inspire me always to show a special tenderness for the poor and forgotten, for those who are broken in spirit as well as in body. Amen."
– Father James Keller, M.M.

Church Built by Ty Pennington
Would I allow Extreme Makeover to build my church?
Of course, there are a few pro's:
1. Free! The folks come to your town and give you more than you could ever need, and you don't pay a dime. Imagine all of that money for a building being able to go toward mission and ministry in your community.
2. Exposure. We've seen a ton of visitors to our new building. Imagine the buzz if "celebrities" built your church and it was nationally televised.
3. Outreach. Not only to the crew and workers, but could you capture the opportunity to present the gospel in the soundbytes and quotes they used of you on television?
The con's:
1. Desperation. To qualify for consideration, you basically have to be a hardship case. While I don't believe we should ever present ourselves as invincible to the world, does it represent Christian fellowship well, that a church had to depend on a television program for help?
2. The crew gets the mic. Some quotes from the crew were: "It doesn't matter if we have the same faith or we pray the same prayers. It's what works for you." "Tonight we celebrate the power of faith." and "It's whatever works for you." People may not associate your theological views with the musings of the cast, but constructing a church certainly gives them a platform to present that which is counter to the gospel.
3. Soundbytes. Even if you were given the opportunity to faithfully present the gospel several times, in this era of slicing and dicing people's quotes, they could completely weed out that which spoke of the cross, shed blood or the exclusivity of Christ. The pastor gave a prayer of blessing for the house and gave a speech beforehand. Neither one spoke of Christ. In fact, at one point the pastor exhorts the people for giving their time, "the ultimate sacrifice." I want to give this pastor the benefit of the doubt, and assume he spoke regularly of Jesus and they just chopped it up. The gospel may be all over the editing floor, but it didnt' make it into the livingrooms of the country.
As I wrote this, I realized that I'm not sure if they built a church or not. By the end of the second hour (which is the only one I caught), they hadn't shown a clip of the church. But after writing this, as cool as it would be to have a television team build a new house for you, I'm not sure I'd take them up on it. If they notice my faith and how dear Christ is to me, would they distort that faith and contaminate the message.
That would be a price I could not afford to pay for a free home.

In the news this week, race trumped all — with the exception of the Donald, that is. Between the white supremacist murdering nine church-goers in Charleston to the "blackism" charade by NAACP Spokane president Rachel Dolezal, the mood is tense, the country far too divided. Demagoguery runs rampant, with President Obama and Hillary Clinton using the South Carolina tragedy to fan racial animus, scorn American values and push their mantra for more gun control. Both appeared more irritated than mournful, craven versus unifying. Objectively, their cold detachment did nothing to heal the collective heartbreak expressed so eloquently by Dr. Ben Carson, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Rev. Alveda King.
Meanwhile, Donald "P.T. Barnum" Trump brought his bravado to the Republican presidential race. Whatever you may think about his style or substance, he's certainly entertaining.
This week's edition of Friday Night Rights tackles these topics — and more — with pundits, politicians, a football great, reverend, police chief, and comedian.

In his speech before Congress today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did what the mainstream media has failed to do: Reveal Barack Obama for the cynical coward he is.
True, Bibi's intent was to bring attention to the Iran nuclear negotiations which he and most Israelis fear puts their very existence at risk. He called out the ruthlessness and evil of the Iranian government with a moral clarity we never hear; he praised America's greatness while our own President prefers to chastise us for getting "on our high horse."

Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda says there are no limits for adjusting the bank's current "quantitative and qualitative" easing regime introduced in April 2013, stressing there room for additional monetary easing.
In an recent interview, Kuroda said: "We will adjust our monetary policy either way if necessary. It's not to say that there are limits for such adjustments or that we have no more easing options."
Kuroda thus denied suggestions that the BOJ no longer has effective policy tools available. The interview took place ahead of the one-year anniversary of Kuroda taking office as BOJ chief on March 20, 2013.
"Basically, we are well on track for the 2 percent inflation goal," Kuroda said.
"At this moment, we see no very big risks."
Meanwhile, he said close tabs need to be kept on risk factors abroad at a time when global financial markets are showing volatility, due partly to concerns over the situation in Ukraine.
Supplying massive funds to the banking system under the current ultraeasy policy could help create an asset bubble in the future and shake the financial system as a result. Still, Kuroda clearly puts priority on sweeping away the deflation that has crippled the economy for years.
"Our biggest goal and mission is to fully overcome deflation, achieve 2 percent inflation and sustain it," Kuroda said. "What matters most now is to realize the inflation goal at an early time," he added, indicating the BOJ's readiness to take additional easing measures if achieving the target becomes difficult.
But Kuroda refrained from commenting on specific measures.
"We will carry out necessary policy adjustments while scrutinizing economic and price conditions, and examining whether we are (steadily) moving on a path toward 2 percent inflation," he said.
When it launched the quantitative and qualitative easing policy, the BOJ set two years as the price growth timeline.
To help reach the target, the central bank is trying to increase the nation's monetary base, or the combined balance of currency in circulation and financial institutions' current account deposits at the BOJ, to ¥270 trillion at the end of this year from ¥138 trillion at the end of 2012, mainly through massive purchases of Japanese government bonds in its money market operations.
Kuroda predicted that the consumption tax hike to 8 percent on April 1 will "have major impacts" on the domestic economy in the April-June quarter.
But he added that the economy is expected to return gradually to a growth trend as the economy is expected to get back to normal in the summer.
Japan's core consumer price index, which fell continuously before the launch of the BOJ's easing policy, has now reversed course.
Kuroda is entering a crucial second year at the BOJ helm with the latest government data showing year-on-year core CPI growth standing at 1.3 percent in January.
Meanwhile, concerns are increasing about the economy. The government recently lowered the annualized quarter-on-quarter real gross domestic product growth for October-December to 0.7 percent from the earlier reported 1.0 percent, due to slowing growth in personal consumption and corporate capital spending, although the economy expanded for a fifth straight quarter.
An economist at a Japanese securities company said it will be very difficult for real GDP growth for fiscal 2013, which ends March 31, to reach 2.7 percent, as forecast by the BOJ.
The economic environment is likely to be tougher in fiscal 2014. Domestic demand is seen slowing on the back of the consumption tax hike, while exports remain sluggish amid decelerating growth of emerging economies, even though the yen remains weak.

Triumph of the Tea Party mindset
Don't be fooled by those who say it's dying: The fiscal cliff impasse proves its spirit dominates the GOP
Two stories that might seem to contradict each other ran in the New York Times this week. One declared the Tea Party movement significantly weakened in the wake of Novembers elections and on its way to becoming just another political faction. The other noted that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell might be concerned about a potential 2014 primary challenge enough to filibuster any fiscal cliff plan that President Obama and Democrats draw up, no matter how modest.
The problem, of course, is that the Tea Partys power resides in Republican primaries, where conservative purists wreaked considerable havoc in the past two election cycles. This included, famously, McConnells home state of Kentucky, where the minority leaders protégé was crushed in a 2010 GOP Senate primary by Rand Paul. Now McConnell has to worry about suffering a similar fate in two years, especially if his handling of the current fiscal impasse evokes cries of treason from the base. How could this square with claims of fading clout for the Tea Party?
Actually, theres a way. It just depends on how you understand the Tea Party.
Defined as a literal movement, with an active membership pressing a specific set of demands, the Tea Party absolutely is in decline. Tea Party events have become less crowded, less visible, and less relevant to the national political conversation. As the Times story notes, the movements die-hards are embracing increasingly niche pet issues. The term Tea Party has come to feel very 2010.

2. The mindset may not be growing in terms of new converts
But it is the kind of fanatic zeal that does not fade within the minds it has persuaded. And though you won't get the gop party leaders to echo its most outrageous positions, the influence goes straight to the top, keeping a no brainer deal on the fiscal cliff dragging out until the last minute if it happens at all.

5. They still have power even though their numbers have diminished.
I would go that it is the mindset of the Republicans that because of the teabaggers and other wackos who were in office before the teabaggers arrived they feel they need to be more conservative.
It is ludicrous that the likes of Santorum and others that feel that their nominee wasn't conservative enough. And the reason they lost. Really? Romney was more conservative than Obama. How would having someone more conservative help them win? As long as they think that way so much the better for us.
As long as Republicans fail to use any semblance of logic they will be ruled by the likes of the teabaggers. Because it is a primary system consisting of a smaller pool of voters that make that decision it makes it easier for teabaggers to help determine the outcome. Here in Indiana soon to be former Senator Lugar was ousted in the primary. He should had been the primary winner. Teabagger Mourdock won the primary and he had major support among the county parties. County Republican leaders provided that support through their endorsements.
If we want to win more elections we need to put it out there that when good policies (ours) are enacted their lives are better. We need to stress that when Republicans have control of the government they suffer the consequences.

Sharing his views over the selection of Indian team, Mr Azad said here that selections should be made on the basis of consistency and performance of the players.
He said the selectors have infact not utilised their 'brain' while and did their job without analysing the performance of the players.
Pinpointing some of the 'wrong' selections, Mr Azad said Gautam Gambhir, who had made maximum runs during the Australian series, had been kept out of South African tour.
Putting the selectors in the wrong box for selecting Yuraj Singh in the team, he said Yuraj 'failed' miserably during Austrailian tour.
Refering to the statement of Dilip Vengsarkar, the chief selector of the Indian team in which he had stated that Yuraj Singh will have to put extra labour to be a Test cricketer, Mr Azad said it was great irony that the same selector had given place to Yuraj Singh in the Test series.
He further said the Australian players went to the pavilion due to the superb bowling of Pravin Kumar. However, he had not been given place in the team.
Non-selection of players like Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Pankaj Singh like players even after their commendable performance would affect their spirit, he added.

Restore power to the machine. Close the freezer door to align the optics and wait 5 seconds. Open the freezer door and see if the ice maker has started a harvest cycle. If not, the ice maker needs to be replaced. If the ice maker has started a harvest cycle, remove the jumper wire and reinstall the ice maker or be prepared to catch the water fill. Close the door and go behind the refrigerator and listen for the water valve to turn on. Immediately disconnect the power after the water fills. Wait 5 seconds and restore power (Make sure the freezer door is closed). Wait 5 seconds and open the freezer door and watch the status LED. 4 pulses repeated once > relay is defective, replace optics. 3 pulses repeated once > relay and optics are good but the ice maker is not being sensed, replace the ice maker. 2 pulses repeated once > optics are defective. Steady light for 5 seconds, all is good.

Leanne Mooney worked with the St Andrews, Kinglake and Christmas Hills communities to create Memory Boxes - an exhibition of perspex boxes filled with objects rescued or recreated from the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. The exhibition will honour these precious objects, displaying them to the community and preserving the stories behind them.
The project launched Sunday November 28 at 2.00pm at the Light Factory Gallery, 21 Brougham St Eltham.
The Memory Boxes were displayed in the BMW Edge at Fed Square for the week of the Melbourne installation, where many people were touched by the stories behind them. See the program here: Hurstbridge program

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello Dk
Is he having erectile difficulty that you know of?
SHould kissing and cuddling always lead to sex?
Can you have open conversations with him about sex?
Are the both of you retired (stay at home)or do you work?
Chase has asked me to come and see if I can help you and your husband with this issue. From what you are describing it sounds more like a emotional issue then a health issue. If he is able to sustain a erection but is experiencing premature ejaculation this has to do with his age and ability's not his diabetes. While diabetes can cause erectile dysfunction he would not be able to sustain a erection at all.
Since this is not the issue, it sounds like you and your husband have gotten into the rut of life. There are a couple of things I would recommend in this situation. One is speaking with him, sit down and let him know how you feel. Let him know it is not all about sex but that you really need and want to have this intimacy back. Remember communication is the key to any locked door. Your husband may be feeling a little inadequate since he is having difficulties with premature ejaculation so you will want to broach this subject carefully. I would not even mention the premature issue right now. I would mention that you want to change things up a little. Ask him if he will give a little......explain that you understand how he feels and would love it is he would try to understand how you feel.
Try different things, this can include letting him know earlier in the day that you want some intimate time. Make plans by having a nice dinner and a early night in. Let him know you want to start only with cuddling and kissing. Do not be afraid to tell him what you want...........rember sometimes us men can be a little oblivious to what you really want.
You may want to consider speaking with him about talking to the doctor, there are medications he can use even with diabetes such as Cealis....this is not like Viagra in the difference of it helps him to get in the mood with stimulation. Often this medication can help to get him in the mood easier and more often. One dose often can improve his sexual mood for up to three days.
It is good that you have not cheated.......keep in mind that it is not fair to your husband nor yourself. If you feel that you need to do this, then you need to be honest with your husband. I know it seems easier to just go and cheat since he is not providing like he should but the fact is you are not being fair to him or yourself. If you must cheat consider being honest first.........give him a chance to make this right. Let him know what you want and what you plan on doing if you are going to do it regardless. While this will hurt him badly it will give him the opportunity to take this matter more serious.
Though I would remind you that you must accept the responsibility's and consequences of this action.......he could very well leave you. But better to leave and be done then never give him the chance to fix this. Something you should also keep in mind....while sex is not a foundation for a marriage it is important. Are you willing to lose your marriage over this? If so then it is time to make some serious choices. I can not tell you what to do but I can tell you that you must be fair to your husband and yourself in this matter.
I wish you both the best, XXXXX XXXXX is your first route in this matter.
Thank you for your kindness........feel free to let me know if you need anything. You can request me by name by adding askwalt to your subject question. I wish you and your husband the best.

Italian Stallions Reds Case
Your Italian Stallions Reds Case includes four bottles each of
Cantus Montepulciano Cantus Montepulciano d'Abruzzo D.O.C.
A well-tuned vintage car has a special rumble. It's strong and familiar and makes you feel like you can go anywhere. Montepulciano's the ruby red 1959 Alfa Romeo of wines—one of the most popular Italian grapes, robust and able to hold its own with meaty meals. Cantus Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is dry and harmonious, with aromas of tobacco and leather. Enjoy this medium-bodied red after you've been out for a spin.
Villa Amoroso Sangiovese Puglia
Sangiovese grapes are the stars of Puglia, the wine region located in the boot-shaped country's heel. Nourished by the ocean breezes and warm sun of Southern Italy, Villa Amoroso Sangiovese di Puglia bursts forth with earthy aromas, and flavors of red currant and raspberry. The wine's flavors are all-the-more bold after a 30-minute decant, which is just enough time to whip up your favorite tomato-based Italian dish.
Bertoli Chianti D.O.C.G.
We don't own smoking jackets, but drinking this velvety Chianti makes us feel like we're wearing them. Like a friendly debate, this plush Italian red is intense but refined, with wild berry flavors and a slight smokiness. Bertoli Chianti DOCG is a delight at the dinner table. Enjoy it with cheese and charcuterie, hearty pastas, pizza, and meat or fish.

Bank reaches $340 million settlement after hiding business with Iran
The British bank Standard Chartered has agreed to pay New York's top banking regulator $340 million for covering up transactions with Iran in order to gain fees.
Earlier this month, New York's Department of Financial Services accused the bank of concealing 60,000 transactions worth $250 billion from 2001 to 2010 that "left the U.S. financial system vulnerable to terrorists, weapons dealers, drug kingpins and corrupt regimes."
The bank said in a statement Wednesday that that "well over 99.9 percent" of the questioned transactions with Iran complied with all regulations and that the few transactions that did not amounted to just $14 million.
Standard Chartered's dealings with Iran are being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
Standard Chartered said it "continues to engage constructively" with the other U.S. agencies and that none of its Iranian payments was on behalf of any designated terrorist group.
In addition to the $340 million settlement, the bank will be subject to two years of monitoring at its New York branch and will permanently install personnel to oversee and audit offshore monitoring.
A department hearing on the issue scheduled for Wednesday in New York City was adjourned. The date for the civil payment, which will go to the state's general fund, has not been set.
