The 2012 year is off to a great start and if you are like many people, you may be thinking about buying a new car with your tax refund check. Instead of purchasing brand-new, car buyers are taking advantage of Craigslist Cars Valdosta Georgia when buying used cars. We all know that the economy is really bad right now as many people are out of work and unemployment remains high. Not to mention, there are thousands of Americans out there right now that are underemployed because there are simply no jobs. For these people, paying a monthly car payment may be out of the question. For all of those hard-working Americans who are just getting by, craigslist can be a real lifesaver when it comes to buying a used car while avoiding monthly car payments.
In today's economy, car buyers are becoming more familiar with websites such as craigslist. There are several other sites on the Internet that are popular yet car sellers have to pay in order to list their car for sale. This affects the overall popularity of the website because many car sellers turned to free websites to avoid the high cost of advertising. Because of this, craigslist has a large pool of not only car sellers but also car buyers. Buying a used car requires that you have the ability to make a car buying decision. To get started you must first establish the exact amount that you are able to pay each month for your used car. You should have realistic expectations and your car payment should not exceed 20% of your monthly income. You may be thinking that it is near impossible to find a car this cheap but many people just like yourself have been able to locate cars for as little as $1000.
Take a look around the website and find a handful of cars that will work for you. Contact each vehicle seller and get as much information as possible. Remember that the more information that you have, the more of an informed decision you can make. Get to know the seller and establish a personal relationship before you buy. This is a good idea because you never know exactly who you are dealing with when you buy a used car. If you are able to get an idea of the type of person you are buying from them you may feel more comfortable when making your purchase.
Statesboro Georgia Craigslist Cars is one more place that you can look for great deals on used cars for under $1000. Keep in mind that you should not set your expectations too high because for this amount of money you will be lucky to find a car that runs well. Other factors such as cosmetics should be second to finding a reliable car. Discover what thousands of people have already discovered and pick up a cheap car truck or van on craigslist cars. I can ensure you that if you do your research, you will not be disappointed.

Known for her messy divorce and mother-in-law restraining order [2], Egyptian actress, Rania Yousef, might not seem like the obvious choice for serious drama.
But the star will be taking on one of her country's most serious issues [3] when she begins filming new drama, 'Al Li'ib Ma Al Thi'ab' (Playing with Wolves), this week.
The movie deals with the idea of rape and how the unrest in Egypt has meant violent assaults on women have increased. The film, written by Fathi Al Jundi and directed by Amir Shaker, will be airing in movie theaters later this year.

President Bush has formed a Social Security Commission to examine ways to reform the New Deal program. Americans should follow the citizens of other countries, such as Britain and Sweden, in recognizing that the best way to achieve real income security during retirement is to allow workers to use some of their payroll tax dollars to build an investment nest egg for their retirement years.
Social Security is the largest and most popular government entitlement program. Because of the retirement benefits it provides, millions of American workers have managed to avoid poverty after they retire. Unfortunately, it can longer make such a promise. (Note: The Social Security Commission's first report notes that cash deficits are projected to begin in 2016.)
Q: What is the concern over Social Security?
A: When the huge baby boomer generation starts retiring there will not be enough money to pay all the pensions.
Q: The Heritage Foundation supports reform. The opposition says reform is risky. Is it?
A: What's risky is not changing a system that is doomed to fail. There exists only three reform options: raising taxes, reducing benefits, or make the money work harder. The latter is the only acceptable solution.
Q: Doesn't it make sense to move slowly towards reform? How do we know it will work?
A: Australia, Chile, Poland, Sweden, Hungary and Argentina and many other countries have all reformed their systems. It works. It can be done.
Q: Social Security was first implemented in 1935, how many times has the program been changed?
A: The Social Security Act has been amended numerous times. There have been regular and substantial changes to the original act during virtually every administration since its inception.
Q: Retired individuals have already paid in. Is their money there waiting for them?
A: Money that comes to Washington is spent to provide benefits to current retirees. You sometimes hear about the "trust fund" and "lock box". These are accounting techniques that mask the true size of the problem. The truth is that in 2016 the government will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in payroll taxes. At that time, the government will have to start raising taxes or reducing benefits in order to keep the system solvent.
Q: Do private investment plans operate the same way?
A: No. Private pensions are financed by investing money that comes in so the assets accumulate by the time retirement comes. The rates of return under private pension plans are also much better.
Q: What is one thing you would tell individuals to help them support reform?
A: Private pensions belong to you. Politicians control Social Security and they can change the rules any time they want to.
Q: Why is Social Security a bad deal?
A: Social Security has become an increasingly bad deal for American workers. Though they pay extremely high taxes, they can expect a benefit return that is significantly lower than if they had invested those same tax dollars privately.
Q: No longer is it disputed that Social Security is running out of money. But, why is this happening?
A: There are two primary reasons: One, fewer payers per beneficiary: In 1950, 16 workers supported each Social Security recipient. Now there are barely three workers per recipient, and by 2030, the ratio will fall to two per beneficiary. The second reason is simply that people are living longer. In 1935 Americans were expected to live to about 77, today life expectancy is 82, and by 2040 it will be 84.
Q: What reforms would be most effective, and best for citizens?
A: The best way to achieve real income security during retirement is to allow workers to use some of their payroll tax dollars to build an investment nest egg for their retirement years.
Q: Heritage has published some reports examining rates-of-return, which is amazingly low among ethnic minorities and women. Why is this significant?
A: You have to examine a few facts about the program - and Heritage is proud to have David John doing a stellar job of that for us. African-American single males are more likely to die shortly after they retire. That means they have spent their working life paying into a system that gives them very little back, and creates no personal wealth they can pass on.
Poverty rates are highest for widowed, divorced and never-married women. And statistically women receive a higher percentage of their retirement income from Social Security than do men, and benefit reductions that would occur in the absence of reform could be debilitating.
Hispanic Americans, because they are younger than the general population, will enter retirement having received below market rates of return from the Social Security program.
Q: How much better would a private investment be for someone?
A: An example: for a 33-year old worker who pays into the program his entire career, can expect the return in benefits to be about 1.2 percent. Compare that with an average 7 percent (and low end 5 percent) return for investing the same amount in a portfolio of investments such as stock index funds.
Q: But what about when the market drops? Wouldn't it be crazy to rely on market fluctuations for retirement security?
A: In the real world, retirement investments have risk-limiting features to reduce losses from market fluctuations. Such features could be part of Social Security personal retirement accounts as well.
In one of his papers David John made exactly this point. (Bear Markets Do Not Hurt the Case for Social Security Retirement Accounts, ed.). Stocks are meant to be bought and held for long periods; thus, legislation creating personal retirement accounts should discourage short-term trading. Long-term studies have found that stocks held for longer periods of time always outperform bonds and Treasury bills.
Q: What happens if someone dies before they reach retirement? Where does that money go?
A: This point cannot be stressed enough. If a worker dies before retirement all of the Social Security taxes that he or she paid throughout the years will be lost unless the worker leaves either young children or a spouse who qualifies for a lower benefit - in addition, all families will receive a one-time-only $255 death benefit.
Q: So Social Security provides no element of wealth creation for an individual to pass on?
A: That's right. Not only are rates-of-return higher with individual retirement accounts, but the investment remains the property of the individual and creates a better wealth standing.
Q: This issue isn't all policy, there's politics involved. What are the chances for reform?
A: It is tough. Every aspect of the debate is politically charged. However, there are few issues that can prove to be of greater benefit to future generations.
This administration, by way of appointing the commission, has made a commitment to at least research the issue. Following a careful strategy of building support and improving information and education will lead to success and leave a legacy that any administration would be proud to claim.

Kecskemét Things to do, programs
The City Hall of Kecskemét was built at the end of the 19th century in the style of Art Nouveau and was designed by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos. The building reminds the visitor of the Renaissance castles of the Highlands with its dignified simplicity, varied facade (decorated with majolica), and colourfully glazed tiled roof. It is a significant element of the Main Square of Kecskemét, and the building's carillon has been heard hourly since 1983 from its 1st floor balcony. Inside, the most beautiful part of the building is the Ceremonial Hall, which is the venue of the General Assembly meetings of the city, and also wedding ceremonies and ceremonial receptions. The period furniture of the Ceremonial Hall is hand-crafted, and its walls are decorated with historical seccos of Bertalan Székely. A guided tour of the Ceremonial Hall (25-30 min.) can be ordered at the Caretaker's Department of the Town Hall by telephone: +36-76/ 512-263 for groups. The tour, which also includes a Hungarian language guide, a small bottle of Kecskemét Apricot Pálinka and a postcard, is available by reservation.

Tyra Banks Embarks on 'Spiritual Journey' in Asia After Breakup
Tyra Banks has reportedly split from her boyfriend of three years, John Utendahl.
The "America's Next Top Model" host, ended her three year relationship with Utendahl, a 53-year-old investment banker, and is said to be devastated.
According to sources, the break-up was mutual but Banks is said to be so heart-broken that she has embarked on a spiritual journey in east Asia.
"Tyra has gone away with a female friend and has been island-hopping, visiting Bali and taking a spiritual retreat," a source told the New York Post.
The split comes as a surprise to fans, who assumed the couple was going strong after Banks' recent interview on the "Wendy Williams Show."
When asked about marrying Utendahl, Banks said the couple has other priorities.
"We do want to have kids but we don't talk about marriage necessarily...you don't have to have a ring on your finger to say that I love you," she said.
Utendahl, who is well known on Wall Street, suffered a financial blow to his company, Utendahl Capital Partners, in 2010 eventually forcing it out of business.
He is now said to be Vice Chairman of Deutsche Bank Americas, and was recently spotted with a Russian model, according to the New York Post.
Banks, who is currently enrolled in the Harvard Business School, is estimated to be worth around $90 million.
It is unclear why the pair split and it is unlikely that Banks will share the reasons behind the sudden split since she has always been very private about her relationships.
"I'm very happy because I have a private life," she gushed to Williams.
Banks' relationship woes are not the only problems she appears to be facing.
Last week The Christian Post reported that her show, "America's Next Top Model," received heavy criticism after former judge Janice Dickinson publicly claimed the show was rigged.
Banks, who is the show's executive producer, is yet to deny Dickinson's claims.
It is unclear when Banks will return to the U.S.

Talk about a turn out! Almost 500 people came to the American Values Dinner to support the Boy Scouts in our area, and also to honor three Athenians who are symbolic of everything wonderful and positive in our community. More than $85,000 was raised that night, which was above the goal. What a generous bunch!
The honorees were Jon Appleton, Barbara Dooley and Buck Griffin who each received the William E. ''Billy'' Hudson Distinguished Citizen Award -- and all three are so deserving. Past recipients of this prestigious award have been H. Randolph Holder, Coach Vince Dooley, Sen. Paul Broun, Robert Stephens, Dr. J. W. Fanning, Upshaw Bentley, Julian Franklin, Lam Hardman III and Charles Upchurch II.
Art and Soul: Calvin Smith, Jordan Smith, Lakisha Smith, Kendra Smith, Theron Smith, Doris Smith
Bill Simpson was the emcee, and he's so positive and funny. He set the tone for the evening, after being introduced by Andy Lyness. Glenn Doak gave the invocation and Boy Scout Troop 372 presented the colors. Jonathan Fite gave the local scouting report and then Julian Franklin presented Jon Appleton with his award, Helen Mills presented Barbara Dooley with her award and, appropriately, Upshaw Bentley presented Buck Griffin with his award. The wives of Appleton and Griffin received flowers, and Barbara Dooley asked why no one gave her husband, Vince, any flowers. She's such a hoot.
We were then treated to keynote speaker Buck Belue, who was a University of Georgia football great and radio talk show host.
Some of the many attending were Henry O'Pry (Sandy had to take care of her ailing mom), Lana and Sam Mitchell, Claude Williams, Mark and Frances Anthony, Sandra and Jack Lumpkin, Vernon Payne, Nancy and Jack Turner, Pat and Gaile Allen, Betsey and Ricky Chastain, E.H. Culpepper, Diane and Fred Davison, Daniel and Suzanne Dooley, Chris and Jack Drew, Leroy Dukes, Don and Claire Edwards, Julian and Margo Franklin, Buck and Gwen Griffin, Andy and Chot Johnson, Emory and Sarah Lewis (Sarah wrote me the nicest note thanks), Bob and Grace Stephens, Joe and Kelly Tillman, Charlie and Dora Upchurch, Lamar and Ruth Wansley, Annette and Jeff Wilson, Joy and Terry Wingfield, Paul and Suzanne Chambers, Mike and Lainie Bobo, and Asa Boynton.
Art and Soul
Art and Soul was a musical event extraordinaire held at the Georgia Museum of Art to celebrate Black History month and the Athens-Clarke Bicentennial. It was quite a successful event, led by co-chairs Leneva Morgan Callaway and Sandi Turner and the ''Spread the Word'' Committee.
Boy Scouts of America's American Values Dinner: Bill Simpson, Jon Appleton, Barbara Dooley, Buck Griffin, Buck Belue
The event began with a yummy buffet brunch in Figgie's Cafe in the museum, and a welcome by museum director Bill Eiland. Then the group retired to the M. Smith Griffith Auditorium where Leneva and Sandi became mistresses of ceremonies and gave information on the evolution of gospel music. Then they introduced the singing groups and singers.
Groups performing were the University of Georgia African American Chorale Ensemble, Kendra Carr, Teresa Haynes, The Lighthouse Gospelettes and 4 Corners.
Terri Jarrett and Mary Padgelek then led quilt-making activities for the families -- with special thanks to Diane Barret. Special guest was Helen Joseph, daughter of Amanda Elizabeth Neal who made the 1912 coverlet featured in the museum exhibition, ''Athens Treasures: A Bicentennial Celebration.''
Some of the many attending were Pat Barron, Pamela Adkins-Ramey, Diann Hawkins with her son, Jonathan Hawkins, Willie and Tommie Farmer, Bill Eiland, the whole Smith family -- Calvin, Jordan, Lakisha, Kendra, Theron and Doris Smith, Nancy Zechella, Tom Wilfong, Lynn Boland, Ed and Betty Myrtle, James and Vivian Alford, Sharon Nickols, Drek Davis, Wendy DeVaughn, Michelle Turner, Evelyn Neely, John English, Bennie Roberson, and the youth group from Black Men of Athens Academy.

DAR Centennial Gala
Athens Country Club looked just beautiful for the celebration of the 100th year of the Elijah Clarke Chapter of the National Society for the Daughters of the American Revolution. This group started with just 11 women in February 1901, and now celebrates 100 years of service and honor.
Everyone was dressed to the nines in long glittering gowns and handsome tuxedoes. Many state officers of the organization came from across Georgia to honor this chapter that is alive and well and contributing in important ways to the community. Their areas of concentration are on youth, education and patriotism.
Some of their activities presented throughout the year by DAR included a contest for six area elementary and middle schools to write American History Essays, which were judged and given awards. Top ROTC student awards were presented and there was a Good Citizen luncheon honoring area high school seniors. They've supported the Tamassee DAR school for children from unstable or violent homes that need refuge, guidance and a chance to succeed. And they declared the week of September 17 as Constitution Week, sending DAR members to area schools to teach about our precious Constitution. The DAR also promotes patriotism by helping disabled and aging veterans at the veterans' hospital in Augusta.
Some of those attending were Regent Robin Towns and her family, Bobby, Ashley and Kirby; gala chairperson Nancy Bowen with her husband Tom; Jim and Mollie Carow with their daughter, Rachel Carow, the youngest member of the organization, who attended with date David Osborne.

Also attending were Carol and Holly Brightwell and daughter, Page, Elaine and Jon Cook, Donna Keith, Joe Barron, Ruth Long, Clementi and H. Randolph Holder, Louise and Gary Fleming, Tony and Tommie LaCavara, Diane and J. L. Wright, Kelli Wright, Reba Hammond, Alice and Morris Bullock, Mary Moore, Pat and Bert Maxwell, Peggy Gates, Sherry and Steve Harper, Tommie Elaine Shattuck, Frances Lang, and Vince and Judy Masters.

Question about switchin to LHD?
I am aware that I need to buy a LHD hub and I have one on my mind to buyy but the real question is, can I flip my cranks from Right to Left with the sprocket and will it work properly?
Not advised, sincethe threading for the pedals is different between left and right. Depending on tyour cranks, they might already have a left side drive boss, or have a left arm available with the drive boss. Otherwise, you'll have to buy new cranks. Odds are, you'll be able to keep the same bottom bracket. Most (but not all) cranks seem to use 19mm spindles. And, if your current cranks are compatible with profile spindles, you should be able to find just the arms from another brand that will fit your current spindle.
Just make sure that your cranks are LHD compatible... if not then you need to get new cranks as well.

History and Debate of United States Policy
The United States is a nation located on the North American continent to the south of Canada and the north of Mexico. This nation is a federal constitutional republic comprised of forty-eight contiguous states as well as Alaska and Hawaii, which are located separately from the mainland. The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., a private district located between the states of Maryland and Virginia. New York City is the nation's largest city and is located on the Atlantic Coast.
The United States has no official language at the federal level, but the national language is English. At 3.79 million square miles and with a population of 308 million, the U.S. is the third largest nation in terms of both population and land area. The current President is Barack Obama and the Vice President is Joe Biden. John Boehner is serving as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the current Chief Justice is John Roberts.
The United States was declared an independent nation on July 4, 1776 and has since evolved into one of the most diverse nations in the world. This is the result of a large-scale immigration from many different nations. The county now accounts for over 40 percent of worldwide military spending and is a leading force in the world economy, world politics and culture.
US Policy Debates
In recent years, United States policy debates have centered largely on the country's foreign policies. The United States has a close relationship with the United Kingdom and Canada and often allies itself with these nations when it comes to foreign affairs. Many critics see this as dangerous and a sign of possible trouble down the road.
The United States spent over 600 billion dollars on military funding alone in 2008. This was larger than the combination of military funds from the other fourteen largest nations combined. Many Americans are opposed to the size of the military in the United States, as well as its heavy involvement in the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan through the Iraq War and War on Terror. Critics of the United States' foreign policy also cite the nation's dependency on foreign oil from these nations as a downfall.
The United States' economy is mainly capitalist with some government regulation of trade. The U.S. is the largest importer of foreign goods and also the third largest exporter. Critics often see the increase of imports in a negative light as it can be a sign of dependency. Others see this as an indication of a global market and praise the nation for its efforts to erase the borders of international trade.
Critics of the United States are also often concerned with poverty levels and the abuse of welfare or government assistance. About 11 percent of Americans live below the poverty line, and, in fact, the U.S. welfare state is one of the least extensive in the world. The system is more costly than that of most other nations, but ranks very well when it comes to reducing poverty rates among the elderly. There is still a gender gap in earnings in America, but progress is being made to dispel this.
The United States is a nation that was founded on the basis of economic and personal freedom. Some disagree that the government still maintains these ideals today, but others praise the nation for its ability to survive amidst criticism and hardship.

Janet Yellen's nomination to lead the U.S. Federal Reserve advanced in the Senate, positioning her to become the 15th chairman and first woman to head the central bank in its 100-year history.
The Senate's 59-34 vote Friday sets up a final vote for Yellen, 67, on Jan. 6 when lawmakers return from their holiday break. If confirmed, she will replace Ben Bernanke, whose second term as Fed chairman expires Jan. 31.
"We need her expertise at the helm of the Fed as our nation continues to recover from the great recession, completes Wall Street reform rulemakings and continues to enhance the stability of our financial sector," Senate Banking Chairman Tim Johnson, a South Dakota Democrat, said yesterday in a floor speech.
Yellen is the last in an initial batch of nominees considered since new Senate rules were adopted last month that ended the minority Republicans' ability to demand a 60-vote threshold to advance candidates for executive and most judicial- branch posts.
Five Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Mark Kirk of Illinois and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — joined with Democrats in supporting advancing Yellen's nomination. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who according to his office was hospitalized for a time Friday after feeling ill, didn't vote.
The Senate on Friday also confirmed John Koskinen to become Internal Revenue Service commissioner along with two other presidential nominees.
Five members of the Senate Banking Committee were among the signers of an unorthodox July 24 letter by lawmakers urging Obama to choose Yellen.
Yellen's nomination was approved, 14-8, by the Banking Committee on Nov. 21.
Yellen, an architect of the Fed stimulus programs, said in her Nov. 14 confirmation hearing that she'll maintain current policies until a "strong recovery" permits the bank to scale back monetary accommodation. She played down risks that the stimulus is inflating asset prices, saying she didn't see "bubble-like conditions" for stocks.
The Fed on Dec. 18 took the first step toward unwinding the unprecedented stimulus put in place under Bernanke to help the economy recover from the worst recession since the 1930s. The Fed will trim monthly bond purchases to $75 billion from $85 billion starting in January.
A former University of California at Berkeley professor, Yellen was a Fed governor from 1994 to 1997, chairman of President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers from 1997 to 1999, and San Francisco Fed president from 2004 to 2010. She has been the central bank's vice chairman since 2010.
Several Yellen opponents have criticized the Federal Open Market Committee's $40 billion in monthly purchases of mortgage- backed securities, which began in September 2012, maintaining that the bond-buying pace has swelled the Fed's balance sheet to almost $4 trillion.

The biggest thing to make sure you do after the first week is to not overreact. I write this paragraph every season, and every season I feel the need to write it again. The Green Bay Packers will win a game this year, the New York Jets will not average 48.0 points per game, and Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick will not throw four interceptions per game. The NFL does not have a balanced schedule. The Packers opened up with a tough game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Atlanta Falcons played against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that was without their best pass rusher, Tamba Hali. These things tend to balance themselves out over the course of 16 weeks. In the words of Bill Parcells, you are what your records says you are. However, (1-0) or (0-1) does not say much.
Therefore, we will take what we learned this week and see if we can apply it to the second week without jumping off the bridge. In addition to picking each game, I am going to assign a point total to each game and will tally my overall record, my point total from the week before and my record in the lock pick game (the game I assign 16 points toward). I will give an explanation of why I am using the team I am using in the suicide pick spot. I will also list which team I have already picked and will not assign 16 points to the same team twice during the season. This will help people that are not only looking to pick games, but also play in these various confidence pools. My record in 2012 is (9-7). I scored 89 points for the confidence pool last week and I have used Houston for my suicide pick, which I am (1-0).
1) Chicago Bears (1-0) at Green Bay Packers (0-1) – I was not impressed with the Packers on Sunday. I saw a defense that was pushed around both in the running game and the passing game. I saw an offense that was one-dimensional. While the Bears do not have the defense that the 49ers possess, they have just as many weapons and a better quarterback in Jay Cutler. The Packers are tough at home and have the reigning MVP, QB Aaron Rodgers. However, he cannot be asked to carry the entire team, he needs the defense to force turnovers and make stops.
I like the Bears in this game. I know the Bears had a much easier Week 1 opponent (Colts), but I think their offense is going to move the ball on the Packers defense. While the Packers can move the ball, they are going to be playing from behind again, which turns them into a pass only team. Rodgers could single handily win this game, but I think the Bears are good enough to survive a great game by Rodgers. Winner: Chicago (6)
2) Baltimore Ravens (1-0) at Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) – The Eagles were absolutely awful against a Browns defense that is good at stopping the pass. The Eagles kept the Browns in the game thanks to four interceptions by QB Michael Vick. Now they go home to play a Ravens team that blew the Cincinnati Bengals out of their building 44-13 on Monday Night. The Eagles will not be able to turn the ball over four times without the Ravens turning those interceptions into touchdowns.
I am just not a fan of the Eagles offensive line and WR Jeremy Maclin is either going to be out or limited in this game. I think the Ravens have the balance to move the ball on this Eagles Defense and I look for the Ravens to earn a big road win. The Eagles will be too sloppy with the ball to win this game. Winner: Baltimore (9)
3) New York Jets (1-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1) – I literally have no idea what to think about this game. I do not think the Steelers are going to be dominant this year, but they will win a lot of games and be in the AFC Playoff Picture. I think the Jets have a good team, but they are not going to score 48 points each week. QB Mark Sanchez is over scrutinized, but he also has not been consistent and could easily be terrible this week.
I would be shocked if Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was as generous with the ball as the Bills were last week, but the Jets have a tough defense that can force good quarterbacks to make mistakes. I will go with the Steelers at home, but it is too early in the season to know exactly where either of these teams stands. The Jets did something so unexpected in Week 1 that I need more games to make sense of them scoring 48 points in the opener. Winner: Pittsburgh (1)
4) Detroit Lions (1-0) at San Francisco 49ers (1-0) – The 49ers were as impressive as any team in the NFL in Week 1, going to Green Bay and dominating the Packers on both sides of the ball. The Lions were as unimpressive as any team in the NFL. They should have had what was a cakewalk at home against the Rams. Instead, they took the game down to the final gun, winning 27-23. The 49ers are not going to play that well all season and the Lions will not play that bad all season. The Lions were able to survive four interceptions by QB Matthew Stafford and no touchdowns to WR Calvin Johnson. Winning ugly is still winning.
I still do not think the Lions are ready to win a big road game in San Francisco. The 49ers have the best defense in the NFL and an offense that is loaded with weapons. QB Alex Smith is doing a good job of playing within his abilities and managing the game. I think that is what he will do in Detroit and the 49ers will force too many turnovers for the Lions to win. Winner: San Francisco (7)
5) Denver Broncos (1-0) at Atlanta Falcons (1-0) – This is a very tough game to pick as well. Broncos QB Peyton Manning looks like the Hall of Fame quarterback from 2010, not the one that had four neck surgeries and missed 2011. The Falcons struggle to stop the pass and the Broncos have the weapons to keep up with the track meet. The Broncos also have the cornerbacks (Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter) to try to cover the Falcons explosive wide receivers, Julio Jones and Roddy White.
The problem is the Falcons play very well at home and they have so many weapons, that even the best of defenses cannot contain them. I do not think anyone can keep up with the Falcons at home, but the Broncos will give them a good shot. Winner: Atlanta (4)
The Rest
6) Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) at Buffalo Bills (0-1) – I think the Bills loss is being blown way out of proportion. The Bills were too careless with the football, were behind too quickly against the Jets and the game snowballed on them. That loss does not mean they are destined for 0-16 nor does it mean the Jets are Super Bowl bound. It was a bad loss to open the season. I think the Bills bounce back with a nice win; they beat the Chiefs 41-7 in Kansas City last year. I think this game is closer than last year, but the Bills will be motivated to show their fans that better games are ahead. Winner: Buffalo (8)
7) Cleveland Browns (0-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) – I almost picked this game for my suicide pick. The Cleveland Browns are terrible and the one strength they have is their pass defense. That will be severely limited without CB Joe Haden, who has been suspended for four games. The problem is that the Bengals lost 44-13 in their opener. I think the Bengals are not the same old Bengals, but the Browns rivalry has been competitive in recent years. The Bengals home win against the Browns was only by three points last year and four of the last six games between these two have been decided by three points or less. I am fairly confident the Bengals win this game, but I am not willing to use the suicide pick on them. I may save the Bengals for Week 5 when they host Miami. I will know more about their team by then. Winner: Cincinnati (12)
8) Minnesota Vikings (0-1) at Indianapolis Colts (0-1) – These are always fun games to pick, two teams that picked third and first in the NFL Draft and lost last week. I am going to go with the home team and QB Andrew Luck exposing a weak Minnesota secondary, but the confidence is fairly low. Winner: Indianapolis (5)
9) New Orleans Saints (0-1) at Carolina Panthers (0-1) – This is a big spot for the Saints. They do not want to start 0-2 in the NFC with their next two games at home against Kansas City and on the road at Green Bay. A loss in Carolina could be a recipe for a 1-3 start to the season and three NFC losses. I think the Saints win this game, but if their defense gives up another 40 burger, you have to wonder if the Saints will have the defense to compete for a NFC playoff spot. I think this game is high scoring, but the Saints should be able to score enough points to earn a win. Winner: New Orleans (2)
10) Houston Texans (1-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) – The Texans have a very impressive defense and are loaded on offense, plus the Jaguars have to feel they let a game slip through their fingers in Minnesota. They had the lead with 20 seconds and could not seal the deal. I like the Texans to run over the Jaguars. This is an acceptable suicide pool pick if you did not use Houston in Week 1. Winner: Houston (15)
11) Oakland Raiders (0-1) at Miami Dolphins (0-1) – I think the Dolphins are arguably the worst team in the NFL, but the Raiders are traveling to the East Coast, which has not been kind to West Coast teams in recent years. I am going to take the Raiders, because they have more play makers and their defense played solid on Monday Night, but I have little to no confidence in this selection. Winner: Oakland (3)
12) Arizona Cardinals (1-0) at New England Patriots (1-0) – I so wanted to save the Patriots for later in the season, but I already used the Houston Texans. I am not crazy about using my two best teams in the AFC the first two weeks. However, this is the most certain game of the week. Patriots QB Tom Brady has lost one regular season home game since 2007 and West Coast teams have a tendency to play like garbage when they make long road trips east. The Cardinals will be playing with backup QB Kevin Kolb. The Patriots have a number of easy games, but they are not a good late season play. I do not like picking road teams in Divisional Games. The Patriots are on the road against New York and Miami in Week 12 and 13 before coming home to play Houston and San Francisco. The other logical places to use them would be Week 8 at St. Louis or at home against Indianapolis in Week 11. I can safely use Jacksonville at Green Bay in Week 8 and in Week 11 Cleveland at Dallas is an enticing Dallas Pick. The season will have developed by then and some picks that look hard now may be easier picks by then. At least I have two sure options I know I can use those weeks.
There are four games that strike me as potential suicide picks this week, excluding Houston because I selected them last week. I already talked about the Bengals over the Browns. I like the Redskins over the Rams, but could also use them at home against Minnesota in Week 6 or when they play at Cleveland in Week 15. The New York Giants could be a good play against Tampa Bay, but they could also be used at home against Cleveland in Week 5 when Haden is still suspended. I may go that route if I do not like Miami at Cincinnati in Week 5. There is a perfectly good reason to leave New England and go with one of the other teams, saving the Patriots for later in the season. I think I can take them here and have enough good options for later in the season, especially with Cleveland and Miami playing many teams that should dominate them. Winner: New England (16)
13) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) at New York Giants (0-1) – I doubt the defending NFC Champions are going to lose two in a row, especially to a team that won only four games last year. The only thing that makes me nervous about this game is the Giants can be inconsistent; especially when they cannot run the ball and the Buccaneers stopped the run very well last week. I am probably going to save the Giants until Week 5 when they play the Browns, but love them at home this week. Winner: New York Giants (14)
14) Washington Redskins (1-0) at St. Louis Rams (0-1) – The only thing that worries me here is the letdown factor. Does the rookie QB Robert Griffin III start reading his press clippings and prepare the way he should? Is the injury to WR Pierre Garcon serious? Did the Rams play the Lions so close because the Rams are improved or because the Lions regressed? I loved RGIII's attitude after the game, I think he prepares well and I think the answer is Redskins win big. I would like to have a bigger sample of games before I pick the Skins as a suicide pick. I also want to see if the Rams close loss was a fluke or an improved team from 2011. Winner: Washington (13)
15) Dallas Cowboys (1-0) at Seattle Seahawks (0-1) – The Dallas Cowboys were very impressive on the road against the New York Giants and have had 11 days to rest and prepare for Week 2. Seattle is among the toughest places in the league to play, their crowd noise is among the loudest in the NFL. I think the Cowboys have the defense to stop the running game of the Seahawks and they have enough weapons to score on the Seahawks defense. I am fairly comfortable that the Cowboys win this game on the road. Winner: Dallas (10)
16) Tennessee Titans (0-1) at San Diego Chargers (1-0) – I feel like the moment you buy into the Chargers is the moment you are burned by the Chargers. This team is among the most up and down teams in the NFL, but they looked poised and smart on offense and did not have the inopportune turnovers that killed them last year. The defense extending the final Raiders offensive drive was troubling, but the defense played well most of that game. Titans QB Jake Locker will have to wear a brace on his non-throwing shoulder, but he is expected to play this week. I think he is going to struggle to win in San Diego against a Chargers team that knows they cannot start slowly as they have in recent years. Winner: Chargers (11)

An adaptation by Tony Kushner of L'Illusion Comique, originally written in 1636 by Pierre Corneille.
The Ilusion follows a contrite father, Pridamant, seeking news of his prodigal son from the sorcerer Alcandre. The magician conjures three episodes from the young manâs life. Inexplicably, each scene finds the boy in a slightly different world where names change and allegiances shift. Pridamant watches, but only as the strange tale reaches its conclusion does he learn the ultimate truth about his son.

Measuring Risk Aversion From Excess Returns on a Stock Index
We distinguish the measure of risk aversion from the slope coefficient in the linear relationship between the mean excess return on a stock index and its variance. Even when risk aversion is constant, the latter can vary significantly with the relative share of stocks in the risky wealth portfolio, and with the beta of unobserved wealth on stocks. We introduce a statistical model with ARCH disturbances and a time-varying parameter in the mean (TVP ARCH-N). The model decomposes the predictable component in stock returns into two parts: the time-varying price of volatility and the time-varying volatility of returns. The relative share of stocks and the beta of the excluded components of wealth on stocks are instrumented by macroeconomic variables. The ratio of corporate profit over national income and the inflation rate ore found to be important forces in the dynamics of stock price volatility.

Two men were found dead in unrelated incidents in Queens last Thursday, according to police.
Cops said the lacerated body of Thomas Dudley, 21, of Brooklyn, was discovered at 4:30 a.m. by city Parks Department employees in a parking lot adjacent to the Seuffert Bandshell in Woodhaven's Forest Park.
Initially police said the man was found with cuts to his wrist and his death was not listed as a homicide. But later that day, cops said the man's throat had been slit and the death was under investigation.
The man's body was found face down in the parking lot surrounded by massive piles of trees and debris that the Parks Department had placed there during the cleanup following Hurricane Sandy, cops said.
Police said a precise time of death was not established and authorities also think the man might have been the victim of a drug deal gone bad, although the investigation is ongoing.
In a different Queens park, about 12 miles away in Far Rockaway, another man's body was found at 9:30 a.m. on a beach at the boardwalk near Beach 13th Street, police said. According to the NYPD, the man's body was found with gunshot wounds to the head.
Police said there does not appear to be a connection between the two deaths.
The Far Rockaway death comes at a time when the police presence remains at heightened levels. According to a post-storm report by the NYPD, the department has deployed 500 light towers in neighborhoods without electricity, including Far Rockaway.
Storm-impacted areas also see regular police car and helicopter patrols, with the choppers using spotlights to illuminate darkened areas.
Also according to the NYPD report, crime was down or flat in all categories citywide, with the exception of burglary, which was up 2 percent compared to the same week last year.
Extra police on extended tours of duty are still assigned to the Rockaways and Breezy Point as well as Coney Island and Staten Island.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Oasis Sanctuary Foundation, Ltd., Benson, AZ, USA
I've proudly been associated with The Oasis Sanctuary since July 1999. I've seen tremendous growth and many changes, some small and some major, during the past 13 years. The one thing that has never changed is the commitment by everyone involved in the organization to keep the birds in our care our Number One Priority. Our compassionate caregivers know each bird by name, his/her history and likes and dislikes. They work hard every day to give each bird at The Oasis a healthy, happy and meaningful life. Each decision the Board of Directors makes is toward that end. As the Office Manager, I've come to know many of our donors personally… and we have the most wonderful supporters in the world! I'm often moved to tears by their thoughtfulness, generosity and loyalty to our organization.

The three short films below are all phenomenal documents of a seminal period in American modern jazz avant-garde experimentation captured candidly, directly, and thrillingly through the superb filmmaking talents of British documentary visionary, Dick Fontaine. Currently head of documentary direction at the National Film and Television School in Great Britain, Fontaine boasts a long career in which he's created nearly 50 films. Starting out as a researcher for Manchester's Granada Television, Fontaine is credited with making (in conjunction with the Maysles brothers who later directed Gimme Shelter and Grey Gardens) the first British film that employed direct cinema techniques with 1964's Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!, a Granada audience hit that captured the Beatles' first visit to the United States. Music and musicians have been a constant theme in Fontaine's work, another fine example being 1984's Beat This! about the golden age of hip-hop in New York City.
Fontaine, himself a musician, clearly understands the power of the on-the-spot creative process. Each of the short films below are vibrant portraits of the artist in the act of making music and include what are perhaps some of the most intimate behind-the-scenes moments ever filmed for some of these frontrunners of the avant-garde all gathered with hand-held cameras and sound equipment. Think jazz versions of Don't Look Back.
For the sake of chronology, let's start with 1966's David, Moffett and Ornette, which captures alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman, bassist David Izenzon and drummer Charles Moffett as they travel to Paris to record the lush soundtrack to an obscure Belgian film called Who's Crazy?. The performances in Fontaine's film, which often take place in front of Who's Crazy? as it is projected for the trio are nothing short of gorgeous, and interviews and candid footage with the band members reveal their reasoning for taking on what was a majorly controversial way of performing at the time. In particular, the interviews with Coleman that address race, sexuality and poverty are so relevant and alive that any serious student of his music simply has to watch this. The soundtrack to Who's Crazy? on which Coleman plays alto sax, violin and trumpet, was released in 1966.
Who's Crazy? (1966)
The next film is called Sound?? from 1967. I'd be doing it great disservice by describing it as anything short of importantly badass. The piece, a collaboration between highly influential multi-instrumentalist musical madman, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and avant-garde sound artist John Cage, explores the very nature of sound and music itself as the piece shifts between the two pioneers. Kirk does his thing. He plays onstage with three saxophones at once, and a flute and a whistle. He hands out whistles to the audience at one point and calls for a participatory "blues in the key of W." He plays with animals at the zoo. The footage of a performance at Ronnie Scott's in London is incendiary. Cage, for his part, is interspersed throughout the film reading rhetorical questions in a variety of city locations about what it means to make music. If music is just noise, can anyone do it? What's the point in making it? "Sounds are just vibrations," Says Cage, "why didn't I mention that before? Doesn't that stir the imagination?" The whole thing, if nothing else, certainly stirs the imagination. I really can't do this justice in a blog post. Just watch it. It's great.
Sound?? (1967)
The final of the three films, 1968's Who is Sonny Rollins?, is a more somber affair. It's a searching portrait of saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who, as the film states, recorded his first record in 1948 and had by 1959 become one of the most important and influential jazz performers in the world. He then summarily quit playing publically. Rollins returned to live performances and recording again in 1962, but by 1968 he was on a second performance sabbatical. He was, to hear Rollins tell it, fed up with the debauchery of the club scene which he simply says "kills off a lot of people." Rollins and compatriot Paul Jeffrey are filmed improvising on the Williamsburg Bridge, a place where Rollins loved to play, incorporating the sounds of trains and other environmental noise. Rollins and Jeffrey explain their philosophy of freeing music from the club in more candid interviews and Rollins is filmed in a variety of outdoor locations while he explains his musical journey. It's another fine piece of filmmaking. I'll be damned if it's not Charles Moffett (who started out as a trumpet player) who makes another appearance in Who is Sonny Rollins? when Rollins visits a music classroom in Harlem. It would make sense as the two did collaborate on a number of occasions.
Who is Sonny Rollins?
David, Moffett and Ornette and Sound?? were released on DVD as simplyDavid Moffett & Ornette despite the fact that both films are included on the disk.
In 2013, Fontaine released a new film about Sonny Rollins called Sonny Rollins: Beyond the Notes in conjunction with Rollins' 2010 80th birthday performance at The Beacon Theater in New York.

Softball Beats Notre Dame, Completes 6-0 Week
March 11, 2007
LAKEWOOD, Calif. - UCLA pounded out 11 hits, four for extra bases, as the Bruins (21-6) defeated Notre Dame by a final score of 9-3 on Sunday evening in Lakewood, Calif. The Bruins finish Long Beach State Invitational play with an undefeated 5-0 record on the weekend.
Krista Colburn led off the top of the first inning with a triple and came home on a sacrifice fly by Kaila Shull to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead after two batters.
Notre Dame responded in the bottom of the second inning with two runs of their own to take a 2-1 lead. The Irish capitalized on a walk and two singles in the inning to take the lead.
From that point, the Bruins took control, scoring three runs in the third, three in the fourth and two more in the sixth.
The third-inning rally opened with a walk from Kaila Shull, who went to third base on a single by Lisa Dodd. Jodie Legaspi's single to right center scored Shull and advanced Dodd to third base. After Legaspi stole second, a wild pitch advanced both runners, plating Dodd for the go-ahead run. A Megan Langenfeld single scored Legaspi, giving the Bruins a 4-2 lead after two and a half innings.
Notre Dame put a third run across in the third inning, taking advantage of two walks and a third strike/wild pitch that would have recorded the final out of the inning, making the score 4-3.
In the fourth, Tara Henry drew a one-out walk, stole second base and scored on a Krista Colburn double to right. Dodd then followed with a two-out home run, her team-leading eighth of the season, to make the score 7-3.
UCLA put together another multi-run inning in the sixth, opening the inning with a triple down the right field line by Shull. An infield single from Legaspi was not enough to score Shull, but after Legaspi stole second base, a long single up the middle by Langenfeld made the score 9-3 in UCLA's favor.
Anjelica Selden got the win, her 11th of the season, striking out five and allowing three hits on the day.
UCLA resumes play on Tuesday with a 1 pm scheduled first pitch against Southern Utah at Easton Stadium before taking a 12-day break from competition for winter quarter final exams.

Ellenore and Ryan's hiphop was so bad that I fast forwarded through it.
I really like Karen and Kevin, although her teeth drive me a little crazy. I have no problem with her sensuality, guys do it all the time on this show with the way they are constantly ripping their shirts off and giving those "eyes" to the camera. I do agree with Nigel that I think many viewers will be threatened by it and her and she won't go far because of it. I just hope she doesn't take Keven out with her because I like him. All that being said, I can't even remember what they danced other than I wasn't very impressed.
The Afro-Jazz and the cane routine are the only ones I remember because I loved them. They were so good and Ashleigh more than held her own, she's growing on me. Noelle is also growing on me, I'm glad they gave her another chance now.
The salsa I remember for an entirely different reason because it was so horrible! Almost as bad as that hip hop routine of Ellenore/Ryans.
Oh now I remember what K/K did. The hustle, yeah the very slow and very awkward and sort of blah hustle.
Ellenore needs to be careful that her love of quirky routines doesn't wind up getting her booted, too much "seen her do that before" thing going on.

BAGHDAD, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The three-member presidential council in Iraq threatened to veto an election law over disputes regarding the representation of minorities and refugees.
Iraqi lawmakers managed to pass amendments to a 2005 election law set to govern parliamentary elections scheduled tentatively for Jan. 21. Lawmakers settled issues related to the disputed city of Kirkuk and the actual structure of the election, but additional disputes linger.
Lawmakers last week protested provisions in the amended law that restrict the number of seats in Parliament awarded to minority parties as the presidential council reviewed the measure during the weekend.
Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi said he would not endorse the current law as drafted, the Voices of Iraq news agency reports.
Hashemi protested what he saw as an effort to undermine the vote of Iraqi refugees living abroad, saying the seats allocated to them should reflect their actual numbers.
The election law calls for eight seats for minorities and eight compensatory seats awarded to smaller parties and refugee communities. Saleh al-Mutlaq, a leading Sunni lawmaker, joined in the protest of the new measure, demanding 30 seats for refugees, the Iraqi analytical Web site Niqash reports.
A possible veto could jeopardize the Jan. 21 election date, which could have ramifications on plans for the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq.

Letter of the month: March 1998This message is dated 29 Nov 1997, but it arrived March of 1998, and when I tried to answer, my reply bounced. I hope the sender sees this and finally gets her answer.
From: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: freemasonary Message-ID: <email@example.com> Date: Sat, 29 Nov 1997 18:27:45 PST
What are the requirements for Womens Freemasonry and where can I join in my area? My immediate family passed away within a years time do to varying circumstances that left me questioning my existence. Five years later I realize so much more than I ever imagined. I have so much to give and such a short time on this great earth to do it. My father and his father before him have walked this path. Upon my brothers death he gave to me a new life he had not seen. I am searching for an organization so I can contribute the skills I posses but as before I am a woman and my husband is not affiliated. To whom can I turn that I can relate to?
Sincerely Yours,
To: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: freemasonary In-reply-to: Your message of "Sat, 29 Nov 1997 18:27:45 PST." <email@example.com> --------
Hi. My web-site "Pointers" page includes some links to information about Womens Freemasonry. Cat Yronwode, for one, has a good amount of information. There is also pointer to contact information made available by the United Grand Lodge of England, and you can't get more official than that.
If you re-read your message you'll see that you've given me NO INFORMATION about where you live, so I could not possibly provide you information about where you could join "in [your] area" -- even if I had any. You'll have to contact the various organizations and pointers I've suggested, and ask if they have a branch in your area. If they don't, you might have to find some like-minded women and start a lodge. (Which could be a very rewarding experience in itself.)
Best of luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

How to Live Like Christ
In Ephesians 5:1 Paul tells us to be "imitators of God". How can we obey such a holy commandment? William Temple writes:
"It is no good giving me a play like Hamlet or King Lear, and telling me to write a play like that. Shakespeare could do it — I can't. And it is no good showing me a life like the life of Jesus and telling me to live a life like that. Jesus could do it — I can't. But if the genius of Shakespeare could come and live in me, then I could write plays like this. And if the Spirit could come into me, then I could live a life like his."
For a more in depth reflection on how to live in the power of the Spirit, see John Piper's recent message "I Act The Miracle."

I agree with you, John. ĀPersonally, I find the CPS version easier to

 When I was reimplementing Iteratees I also didn't find any noticeable

One good way to affect the scope of recruiting and degree of militarism in K-12 schools is to focus campaigns on school and school district policies. This can mean appealing for administrative controls at the local school site level, or seeking broader action by district superintendents and governing boards.
Another approach is to seek passage of local laws or ordinances that can regulate recruiting in schools and the rest of the community.
Here are some recommended links available to better inform you as an in dealing with school boards. This is a work in progress and NNOMY will be adding new documents as they are prepared and as policies change that effect enlistment. Check back periodically.
