In Reply to: Re: Fosomax effectiveness posted by Beverly on August 04, 2000 at 12:22:15:
:HiI'm taking fosomax and have been for about three months, since I discovered that I have osteo in my hips. I haven't had any problems and have lost weight. However, this is probably due to the fact that I also discovered that I have low thyroid. The thyroid medication leeches calcium from the bones, so I have reason to be doubly concerned. I'm hoping it works! It is inconvenient to not eat for 30 minutes, but after the fosomax, I take my thyroid meds and can't eat for another hour. Consider yourself lucky if it's only 30 minutes! Good luck to all with osteo--it's a nasty deal. Sandy : Hello, I, too, have been on Fosomax 2-1/2 yrs. & the only side effect I'm aware of is this awful weight gain. I've always been a small person around 105 lbs & now I'm up to 118, so the only thing to attribute to weight gain is Fosomax. However, my bone density has IMPROVED in the first year after a repeat scan, up 8.5%. The Rhumotologist was very pleased & laughed at me when I proprosed the weight gain questions. He said no, but, he's not taking it either. From many others taking Fosomax, it is definitely one more side effect at around 10-15 lbs gain. I have no other known side effects & tolerate it w/other heart meds. My mother had osteoperosis & I was a prime candidate, good thing I had the bone density test done when I did or I could be in for some fractures. I note some are reporting eye problems, I have not noticed anything unusual w/my sight or acid reflux. Maybe I'm lucky in that area. I'm just wondering/fearful if you will, how long it is safe to take this drug w/out any dangerous side effects. Any discussion on this? Please respond if anyone has read how long is safe. I know it's still in the testing stage, as we are the testors!!!!!I take 10mgs. daily, however, have dropped down to 4 a week giving me 40mgs. Five mgs. daily is used as prevention;10mgs to treat, so my theory is 35mgs. weekly w/be considered prevention, so 40mgs is going to help. Any response w/be appreciated. Thanks Jacki
: Is your weight gain good due to denser (heavier) bones? Or is it bad due to added body fat? We all would benefit from adding good weight in bone and muscle.

Michael (Pinball) Clemons made his mark in the CFL in large part because he was so versatile.
He could run the ball, catch it out of the backfield, catch it from the slot and even as a wideout. He was also a dynamo returning punts and kicks.
A trio of NFL rookies will be attempting to do much the same this fall for their new employers.
In the NFL, the best present-day Pinball comparison is Clevelands Josh Cribbs and barring a change of heart, the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions will have a Cribbs-like player of their own to confound opposing defensive co-ordinators with this year
In Buffalo, C.J. Spiller has all the tools to be that player speed, elusiveness, an ability to change direction on a dime. And with a backfield that already has Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson assuming Lynch isnt dealt before the season begins its incumbent upon new head coach Chan Gailey to find a use for all these tools. That means lining him up just about everywhere in the offence outside of quarterback, tight end and obviously the line.
The same will likely go for Kansas Citys second-round pick Dexter McCluster, a running back/receiver/returner out of Ol Miss who looks at a similarly crowded backfield to the one Spiller sees in Buffalo.
In K.C., the duo of Jamaal Charles and ex-Jet Thomas Jones wont need much help barring injuries which leaves the Chiefs to rely on sets with McCluster in the slot or spread wide to get him involved.
In Detroit, Jahvid Best, the Lions other first-round pick (30th overall) behind defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, saw similar all-over duty to Spiller and McCluster during mini-camps but of the three seems to have the best bet at significant time at running back.
Returning starter Kevin Smith is coming off a torn ACL and was used sparingly in mini-camp. The hope is hell be a full go for training camp. But even then the way the coaching staff is raving about Best, Smith might not necessarily be the teams first choice.
Best still got work at wide receiver, slot and running back during mini-camp.
Anyone who saw Cribbs at all last season or recalls Pinballs glory days with the Argonauts knows the game is much more exciting when the ball is in the hands of these kinds of players.
Long way to go LeBron
Art Modell may be hated in Cleveland to this day for sneaking out of town with the Browns and moving them to Baltimore, but you have to appreciate the mans sense of humour. With LeBron-mania sweeping Ohio Thursday night, Modell was tracked down by the News-Herald. Do I think LeBron James as he leaves Cleveland will become the most hated man in Cleveland, more hated than Art Modell? the man himself repeated. Nonsense. Nonsense. ... Modell wasnt the only NFL to chime in on Lebrons big news. Chad Ochocinco (really, you thought he could resist?) appeared on the Dan Patrick radio show and suggested he would finish the year with two rings. A Super Bowl ring for one finger and an NBA title ring for another after he signed on with the Heat following the Super Bowl parties. Our only concern with that would be Chads penchant for celebrating everything with a dance. They dont dance much in the NBA, Chad.
Dont count him out
Brian Westbrook may be out of sight temporarily but he still has an NFL job in mind. The former Eagles running back has been working out for the past several weeks with a group of players including his brother and Washington Redskin, Byron Westbrook, Minnesotas Visanthe Shiancoe and Arizonas Darnell Dockett at Athletic Dominance in Maryland.
Shiancoe, who could wind up being a teammate, raved about Westbrooks readiness.
This is the first time hes been able to really work out fully and not feel (his previous injuries), Shiancoe told NFL.com.
This is the first time where hes not being bothered and hes able explode and really work out and prepare. He looks really, really fluid out there.
He looks really good. Hes getting in training-camp shape.
Fourth and inches
Not a happy day in the Green household. Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Dennis Greens son, Jeremy, was arrested on Friday on charges of possession of child pornography. Jeremy Green, 38, is an NFL analyst with ESPN. Hes a former NFL scout ... Signing DBrickashaw Ferguson Thursday was a good day for the Jets, but now one day later more bad news on the Darrelle Revis front. According to the New York Daily News, Revis is now officially prepared and willing to hold out when training camp opens on August 1. He wants to become the highest-paid corner in the NFL.

text: Why it's done By Mayo Clinic Staff Print A pancreas transplant can restore normal insulin production and improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes, but it's not a standard treatment. The side effects of the anti-rejection medications required after a pancreas transplant can often be serious. For people with any of the following, a pancreas transplant may be worth considering: Type 1 diabetes that can't be controlled with standard treatment Frequent insulin reactions Consistently poor blood sugar control Severe kidney damage Type 2 diabetes associated with both low insulin resistance and low insulin production A pancreas transplant usually isn't a treatment option for people with type 2 diabetes, because type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or unable to use it properly rather than due to a problem with insulin production in the pancreas. But for some people with type 2 diabetes who have both low insulin resistance and low insulin production, pancreas transplant is an emerging treatment option. About 10 percent of all pancreas transplants are performed in people with type 2 diabetes. There are several different types of pancreas transplants, including: Pancreas transplant alone. People with diabetes and early or no kidney disease may be candidates for a pancreas transplant alone (solitary pancreas transplant). A pancreas transplant surgery involves only a pancreas transplant without other surgeries. Combined kidney-pancreas transplant. Surgeons often may perform combined (simultaneous) kidney-pancreas transplants for people with diabetes who have or are at risk of kidney damage. More than two-thirds of pancreas transplants are done simultaneously with a kidney transplant. The goal of this approach is to give you a healthy kidney and pancreas that are unlikely to contribute to diabetes-related kidney damage in the future. But waiting for a donor pancreas and kidney to become available at the same time may increase time spent on the organ donor waiting list. Pancreas-after-kidney transplant. For those facing a long wait for both a donor kidney and pancreas to become available, a kidney transplant may be recommended first if a living- or deceased-donor kidney becomes available. After you recover from kidney transplant surgery, you'll receive the pancreas transplant once a donor pancreas becomes available. Pancreatic islet cell transplant. During pancreatic islet cell transplantation, insulin-producing cells (islet cells) taken from a deceased donor's pancreas are injected into a vein that takes blood to your liver. More than one injection of transplanted islet cells is often necessary. Islet cell transplantation is an experimental procedure and may only be performed as part of a Food and Drug Administration-approved clinical trial. Although it's possible for a living donor to donate part of a pancreas, nearly all pancreas transplants involve a deceased-donor pancreas.

Stalled on I-40
It was August of 2003, and my family and I were on a trip to Phoenix, driving across northern Arizona on I-40. We had met Skip and Liz in Holbrook for lunch, and were back on the road. No more than ten minutes later, however, we rolled up to the end of a long line of stalled traffic. This was a huge line, with thousands of cars and trucks lined up ahead of us for more than ten miles to the blockage point. All of us were sitting there motionless in the desert, engines idling under the early afternoon sun, for almost an hour, with traffic piling up behind us as well, apparently all the way back to Holbrook and east.
Eventually traffic began to move, slowly, and by the time we got to the blockage point over an hour later, the source of the delay had been removed. I remember the family discussion as we drove by Winslow: We wondered how something like that could have been allowed to happen, and we also marveled at all the wasted resources. Tens of thousands of gallons of fuel had been idled away out there in the desert, and as Winslow, Arizona faded away behind us we wondered how much time and money had been lost to all the travelers who had become ensnared in it. And we wondered how many traffic jams of various sizes and duration occur every day in America.
What didn't occur to me then, but looms with great significance today, is this: A relatively small group of people, investors who make money whenever internal combustion engines run, profited from that traffic jam.
Transportation Generates Huge Profits and Transfers of Wealth
Mobility is a major, expensive feature of American life. Almost everywhere you go, day and night, there are busy thoroughfares and highways, full of cars. "Rush hour" traffic in all metropolitan cities routinely features bumper-to-bumper traffic, often moving haltingly slowly and forced at times to a dead stop. It has been an overt symbol of American prosperity and, yes, middle class wealth.
Sometimes we get to our destination smoothly, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we are alone in our cars and trucks, and sometimes we have passengers. There is one thing, however, that all of our journeys have in common: The vast amounts of money we repeatedly spend on all of our trips generates a great deal of wealth for the rich corporations and people who provide for our transportation needs. And each time we travel, some of our wealth "transfers" to these providers, people who are at the top of the income and wealth hierarchy.
How much wealth are we talking about? Many trillions of gasoline-fueled miles are traveled every year. Project America provides this graph of total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the U.S., which shows that total miles approximately doubled over the last 30 years:
There was a steady annual increase in VMT until the recession hit. "According to the Department of Transportation and the American Public Transportation Association," Project America reports, "the number of miles traveled by vehicles in the United States fell by 3.6% in 2008, the number of trips taken on public transit increased by 4.0%. The total estimated number of miles driven in 2008 is 2.922 trillion, down from 3.030 trillion in 2007." [1] Still, the roughly 3 trillion average annual VMT in 2007 and 2008 is an impressively large number. That's about 10,000 miles per capita.
According to Answers.com, automobile use in the U.S. maintains an average of about 20 miles per gallon, and using that as a mileage estimate for all VMT gives us a back-of-the-envelope estimate for the amount fuel burned in a year (VMT includes truck traffic as well, so the average mileage rate for VMT is actually lower than 20 mpg):
3 trillion miles / 20 mpg = 150 billion gallons
To burn 150 billion gallons of gasoline annually in automobile traffic, at today's approximate $4.00/gallon gasoline price, would cost Americans in the vicinity of $600 billion. [2]
The big 5 oil companies end up with more than $100 billion of profits annually. As reported today (5/17/11) by Daniel K. Weiss and Kate Gordon for The Center for American Progress:
"Each time Americans' gas bills go up, so do Big Oil's profits. In the first quarter of 2011 alone, Persian Gulf unrest combined with speculators bidding up prices led to oil prices rising by more than one-third. Higher oil prices on the world market led to higher gasoline prices across our nation, and the big five oil companies made $32 billion in profits. Profits of this size are quite common. Between 2001 and 2011, a period marked by gas price volatility, these five companies collectively made more than $900 billion in profits. In 2010, Exxon Mobil finished first in the Fortune 500 list of company profits for the eighth year in a row, with Chevron coming in third and ConocoPhilips 16th."
Weiss and Gordon's point that oil company profits closely follow the price of gasoline is an important one. The following graph is provided by Phil Villarreal (4/29/11) for Consumerist:
What this means is that the more consumers' wealth is depleted paying for fuel, the more oil company profits grow. And in a report for Think Progress (4/30/11), Pat Garofalo points out that the vast majority of Big Oil profits in recent years have increasingly ended up simply enriching oil company executives and investors:
"Among the largest five oil companies, less than 10 percent of after-tax profits went to exploration for new oil fields during the 2005-2009 period. Meanwhile, the percentage of net profits used to pay dividends and buy back stock was 58 percent in 2005, 73 percent in 2006, 72 percent in 2007, 71 percent in 2008 and 89 percent in 2009. These figures are high in comparison to other industries." In other words, the percentage of Big Oil (the top 5 oil companies) profits that goes to increasing shareholder wealth is high, and increasing every year.
With nearly 50% of all financial wealth held by the top 1%, and 0nly about 15% held by the bottom 90%, this wealth is predominantly being transferred to the top of the income and wealth ladder. To put it bluntly, the wealth of the top 1% has increased by more than $500 billion over the last ten years, solely from profits made by the top 5 oil companies.
Oil Company Subsidies
Oil company "profits," of course, are the excess revenues above and beyond costs incurred to provide the fuel they sell. In order to make $32 billion in profits in just the first three months of this year, Big Oil obviously has to have a lot of market power. A hot debate right now is whether these very profitable oil companies should be allowed to continue receiving tax subsidies from ordinary Americans ($4 billion this year) in these circumstances.
Virtually everyone agrees at this point that such "corporate welfare" for Big Oil is unjustifiable and unfair. [3] As New York Senator Chuck Shumer told the Big Oil executives who recently testified before Congress, "they'd have an easier time convincing the American people that a unicorn flew into the hearing room than that these big oil companies need taxpayer subsidies."
All Corporate Profits Generate Wealth Transfers
To merely focus on the absurdity of continuing to provide tax "incentives" to the most profitable corporations on the planet (which, by the way, the Senate has just voted to do) [4] misses the bigger, fundamentally more important point: The capitalist market system continuously provides enormous profits for the investors who control the provision of all goods and services, and the huge profits of the big five oil companies merely serve as an example of how wealth is inexorably transferred to the top.
The biggest five oil companies are not the only corporations making profits on gasoline and transportation fuel, nor is gasoline all that Americans buy. Big Oil is just the tip of the iceberg. Expenditures for automobiles, cable and wireless communications, clothing, computers, food and shelter, health insurance, and for everything else we buy, provide continuous monopolistic and oligopolistic profits which are largely distributed to executives and shareholders. These are massive transfers of wealth, mostly to the top 1%, from everybody else in America. As discussed elsewhere on this site, over $10 trillion of wealth has been transferred to the top 1% over the last 30 years, significantly increasing the percentage of all wealth held by these wealthiest Americans.
This has happened because tax cuts for wealthy people have prevented the downward redistribution of wealth required for stable wealth inequality. The top tax rate when inequality was stable (1965-1980) was 70%.
These are the two most important points:
(1) Wealth continues to transfer to the top at a rapid rate. It's a continuous process, inherent in the operation of the capital marketplace (as shown in the oil company example). This fact makes wealth and income inequality the core economic problem for America today. It's no surprise that tax increases for the wealthy have been taken "off the table" by Congressional Republicans;
(2) As discussed on this site, if the top personal income tax rate remains anywhere near as low as the current level of 35%, and the capital gains rate for wealthy people is not substantially increased from its bargain-basement level of 15%, the proportion of wealth held by the wealthy few at the top will continue to increase rapidly, the American middle class will continue to shrink and disappear, incomes will continue to decline, education will continue to falter, and unemployment and poverty will continue to grow until the American economy sinks into a depression, and life as we have known it starts grinding to a halt.
It's something we can't see and feel every day, at least not yet; we just have to know that it's true and act accordingly. Tonight, on the way home from a movie at 10:00 pm, Betty and I encountered a fair amount of traffic on I-90. "I can't believe there's this much traffic on a Tuesday evening," she remarked. It seemed a bit like the good old days.
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same.
[1] "VMT" is "the total number of miles driven by all vehicles within a given time period and geographic area." Streetswiki.com
[2] This estimate of the amount spent incorrectly assumes that all VMT involve only automobiles (no trucks) and only gasoline (no diesel fuel). One computation appearing on answers.com asserts that the amount spent on "gasoline" back in 2006 in the U.S. was over $1 trillion. We may not have a precise number for each year, but we do have an order of magnitude.
[3] Last Thursday (5/12/11) Ed Schultz asked viewers of MSNBC's "The Ed Show" to vote on this question: "Should Republicans continue to give big oil tax breaks while cutting Medicare?" At the end of the show, he reported that 2% had texted "yes" votes while 98% had voted "no." On his MSNBC website on Saturday 2.6% voted "yes" and 97.4% voted "no." Blog comments reflected a sense of disbelief that anyone could have voted "yes." This is a "double-dip" question, and answers probably also reflected rejection of the idea that elderly people with their higher medical costs should be abandoned to the mercy of private health insurance companies. Regardless, viewers regarded this question as a virtual no-brainer.
[4] Today in a ceremonial vote the Senate rejected ending the Big Oil tax subsidies 52-48, mostly along party lines.

Fener lodge relegation request
Fenerbahce have asked to be relegated out of the Turkish top flight as they attempt to manage match-fixing allegations.
Last Updated: 26/08/11 6:08pm
Fenerbahce have asked to be relegated out of the Turkish top flight as they attempt to manage match-fixing allegations.
The Istanbul-based club have already been pulled out of the UEFA Champions League as an investigation into their actions is carried out.
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) took that decision and has rejected an appeal by Fenerbahce, who have been replaced by Trabzonspor in Europe's premier club competition.
More than 30 players and officials have been jailed pending trial over match-fixing claims, with 19 matches reported to have been manipulated.
Fenerbahce find themselves at the centre of the scandal and they believe a spell out of the spotlight will help them to get their house back in order.
"Our deputy chairman Ali Koc and management board member Ali Yildrim went to the Federation and conveyed our request to play in a lower league," read a statement released on the club's official website.
Fener expect a decision to be made at the start of next week regarding their relegation request.
They are also mulling over a legal fight with Uefa, claiming they should have been treated as 'innocent until proven guilty'.
European football's governing body called on the TFF to pull Fener out of the Champions League or risk facing disciplinary action.
The TFF acted quickly on that front, but they have pushed the start of the new Turkish season back to 9th September so their ethics committee can delve deeper into the match-fixing case.

When Do You Sleep? tagged "Hard Work"
That is one of the top questions I get asked. Often. It's either that one, or "do you ever sleep?" Same question, different connotation. My general response is, "I don't work hard, but I do work long." Meaning, I don't... Read more

News of my joining Lyrasis has been officially reported ("Timothy Daniels and Peter Murray to Lead LYRASIS Technology Services" [PDF]) so I can talk about it here now. On September 10th I left OhioLINK to join LYRASIS on September 13th as the assistant director for the newly emerging LYRASIS Technology Services (LTS). Along with Tim Daniels, I'll be forming a group to help members among the various open source and commercial software options works best for their situations, including options where LYRASIS can effectively and efficiently aggregate Software-as-a-Service hosting options.
On a personal note, one of the best parts about the position is that I will not have to move from central Ohio. Given that LYRASIS comes from the merger of three other consortia (PALINET, SOLINET, and NELINET) about 40% of staff are not in the LYRASIS home office in Atlanta. The organization is making use of virtual office tools such as video Skype and SharePoint to stay connected.
This new position shouldn't impact the content of DLTJ. I probably won't focus as much on the textbook ecosystem and accessibility services in higher education, but I'm sure these topics will be replaced by others. If anything, hopefully the posting frequency will increase back to its previous roughly-10-posts-per-month level.
Please update your contact information for me. My phone number is +1-678-235-2955 and e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Moore Avenue when two men started following him in a suspicious manner. He attempted to take evasive action to avoid an encounter but the men caught him and announced a robbery.
As he drew his weapon to take action against the men he was shot in the chest, stomach, and arm. The entire incident was captured on several surveillance systems.
Both subjects were arrested within several days. On July 2, 2015, the shooter was sentenced to life.

My Brother SE 400 will be arriving soon. I read on the internet today that this software does not work with Windows 7. Does anyone have this sewing/embroidery machine and can help me?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My Brother SE 400 will be arriving soon. I read on the internet today that this software does not work with Windows 7. Does anyone have this sewing/embroidery machine and can help me?
**I just found this on the Brother Website.
(select Windows 7, then search)
Or if this link doesn't work, go here: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...c_s/index.html
Then select country, etc. until you get to downloads. (Instead of selecting your machine, go all the way to the bottom and select PED Basic.) Hopefully this works. I was able to find it to download. Send me a PM if you can't get it.
**If you use PED-Basic on Windows Vista®/ Windows® 7, never install the programs from the CD in your package!!
To prevent a problem, please install these programs instead of using the CD.
I use this software on Vista - 64-bit OS and it works fine. The internet also says it should not work in this case, but it does.
I don't use Windows 7, but I would just try installing it and see what happens. Here is something you can try if it doesn't work.
Basically, most programs from XP will work just fine with Windows 7. Of those programs that are older (designed before Vista existed) if any have a problem running correctly, they can be told to run in a compatibility mode. This includes modes for:
Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2008 (Service Pack 1)
Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)
Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
Windows 2000
Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
Windows 98 /Windows ME
Windows 95
Any of these can be chosen by right clicking the program that isn't working properly; then in the drop down menu go to 'Properties'. Under the new windows that opens go to the 'Compatibility' tab and check off 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and choose 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'.
If this still doesn't work, then you could use a virtual XP environment. I think this only works on some versions of Windows 7.
I know this doesn't help a lot, but it is difficult to diagnose a problem before there is one. :)
Hi, Sharon, not sure which PED basic software you are referring to. You have to use the PED Basic to transfer designs from your computer to your machine via a memory card. That's just a card reader. If you want software where you can work with designs, etc., you can use any type of software. Brother has the PE Design Lite and the PE Design (Deluxe). This is actual software to work with your designs. Rather expensive, too.
Does your machine have the USB connection? If so, you can transfer designs from anyone as long as they are in the PES format. I don't have the 400 but do have the 270D and 700II (this one has the USB port).
Go to Brother.com and you can find out which Brother PED Basic version (card reader) is compatible with Windows 7 if that's the way you want to go. I believe there is a free upgrade for Windows 7. The PED Card Reader runs around $100 but if you have a USB port, you can skip that for now. Their site is a little hard to navigate but you'll get there eventually. LOL
FYI, I use Monogram Wizard Plus for lettering and now they have released Monogram Wizard Plus Extended for working with designs. Not too expensive. I also have Sew What Pro and Embroidery Magic 2 for working with designs. Neither is as expensive as the PE Design Lite or PE Design Deluxe.
Hope this helps with your question.
You do not need the Ped Basic embroidery software for this machine. There is a cable that goes from the computer to your sewing machine. The computer will send the embroidery designs straight to your machine. :D:D:D
If you buy a emb design online, it downloads to your computer and then you open it up with the software provided with your machine.
If you buy designs on a CD you use the software to open them :D:D:D
This is from a site that sells these machines:
Computer connectivity allows you to easily import embroidery designs directly from your computer.
Computer connectivity allows you to enjoy future machine updates and easily import and digitize embroidery designs directly from your computer.
Thanks everyone, especially Amma, I think I understand now. I was not understanding that the SE 400 would come with the software to open the designs once I got them onto my computer. thanks again, everyone!
My Netbook runs on Windows 7 and Ped BAsic works just fine in it.
That is very good to hear!!Originally Posted by Maride

FYI.... The PE Design BASIC uses a card writer/reader/card, but transfers designs from your computer to the machine. That's all. Except you can resize just a bit. That is why it is called "basic". I have PE Design v5 software....I've had v2, and also still have v4. The ''v-version" software all has capability for digitizing. Many people get confused because they named it "P E" also--which only stands for personal embroidery.

Two days after losing his board seat in a proxy battle with billionaire investor Carl Icahn, embattled Blockbuster Inc. Chief Executive John Antioco on Friday chose to remain at the helm of the video rental chain.
In a conciliatory move blessed by Icahn, Blockbuster's board voted to create a new seat for Antioco, who will also remain chairman. Antioco had threatened to quit altogether as chief of the ailing company if he lost this week's vote.
While critical of some of Antioco's expensive initiatives to revamp Blockbuster, Icahn has said that he wanted Antioco to remain for continuity.

I am in New York today hosting a featured panel on social media marketing for attorneys at LegalTech New York 2013, the top annual legal technology event on the planet.
Joining me for the session today are Larry Bodine, editor-in-chief of Lawyers.com and martindale.com, as well as LexisNexis chief marketing officer Steve Mann.
Our topic is Taming the Wild West of Social Media: The Secrets of Social Media Success in the Legal Profession, where we explore:
- The state of social media in the legal industry today and an update to guide attendees through the year ahead.
- New and improved social media best practices in specific online channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging, etc.).
- The various ethical and legal considerations about which law firms must be aware, including an update of key decisions and guidance issued by various state bar associations.
While it may seem like the Wild West at times, social media does have a very real role to play in both the business and practice of law.
According to the 2012 Attorney Selection Research Study by The Research Intelligence Group (TRiG), 26 percent of American consumers used one of the major social media sites when gathering information about a legal issue and more than one in five (22 percent) said they turned to a social media site to actually find a lawyer they felt might be able to help them with their legal need.
If you were not in our audience today, you can still access this knowledge by attending one of our Rainmaker Retreat law firm marketing boot camp sessions. Here are the dates for upcoming Rainmaker Retreat sessions in the first quarter of 2013:
February 15-16, 2013 – Orlando, FL
March 15-16, 2013 – Newport Beach, CA

What People Are Saying…
Page 1 of 2
"In my opinion, this book is worthy of being compared to classics like Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia or to more recent tiles like Harry Potter. I am excited to read the second book of the series now that I have read the first, cover to cover. I would also love it if this series gets a large following and becomes epic movie trilogy as well. It is a very good read that both knitters and fantasy readers will love. You do not have to be a knitter to enjoy this book." [more]
– Eccentric Eclectic Woman Blog Spot
Everyone knows yarn and the things we make from it are magic, but master dyer Cheryl Potter, founder of Cherry Tree Hill Yarn, takes things a step further with her enchanting fantasy novel…And there's something more. Amid the adventure (Will they find Skye Blue's mother, seized by soldiers and spirited off?), the mystery (Exactly what is Trader hiding, and why?) and the betrayal (Tasman stole the magic crystals! Now she's the dark queen!), there are the patterns.
Yes, patterns… [more]
– Mary Mooney, The Oregonian / Oregon Live
"Potter spins yarn of magic…Ms. Potter creates a lively community of women, talented bu flawed. Their journey to Bordertown is fraught with peril, but the women meet the dangers with cleverness rather than force."
— Joseph Gresser, Barton Chronicle Review
"The Broken Circle, by Cheryl Potter, is only the beginning, and what an intriguing beginning it is. Potter has crafted a magical world and a colorful (sometimes literally) cast of characters for Book 1 of The Potluck Yarn Trilogy." [more]
"The Broken Circle: Yarns of the Knitting Witches was a great entertaining read and the perfect way to relax and unwind after a busy week of work. Any woman, young or old, that loves fantasy stories, engaging characters or even just knitting is sure to love this new series from Cheryl Potter. While your head is in another land, your hands will be reaching for those knitting needles!" [more]
"…how could I not want to read a book, and a book about knitting witches?!?!
The Broken Circle sends you to a long ago time when knitting, spinning, tending sheep and making medicinal tinctures were a common day thing. For a person like me who would love to believe this all still happens on a daily basis is great." [more]
– Holly I Like It Frantic – The Broken Circle
"You are going to love this book, actually two books. The first is a novel, a fantasy about knitting witches. Characters step out from behind the dye shed, or knock over a dye table, shawls and capes are pulled around cold shoulders, fiber references are everywhere…I love it when a project has a background story!"
Terri — Knit & Nosh Hey Knitters
"I love fantasy fiction and I love knitting and fiber. These two worlds collide in Cheryl Potter's book, The Broken Circle: Yarns of the Knitting Witches that is the first book in her new fiber-fantasy trilogy. In the past, I've been hesitant to read prose books that are about knitting because, in many cases, I've found the writing quality to be lacking as if a publisher thought, "let's put knitting into a book because those knitters will buy anything." Cheryl's book (along with only a few others I've read over the years), avoids that problem because Cheryl knows how to write–and how to craft an exciting, engaging story. The characters are fleshed out and believable and the knitting and fiber art, as well as the magic of the witches, is well integrated into the world of the Potluck Yarn trilogy. What makes The Broken Circle unique in the knitting genre is that it's not dependent upon the knitting content to succeed and it is a fully-developed fantasy novel. There's even a detailed map included, in color in the pattern book and in black-and-white in the novel. The novel is also illustrated with top-quality drawings that just add an extra level of realism to the magic of the tale being told.
There's also a companion pattern book. I love having these in two separate volumes for several reasons: First, some people will only want the novel and others will only want the pattern. Second, you can buy one book in print and one as an ebook if, for example, you prefer to have your knitting patterns on your iPad and a paper novel to read on the beach.
I can't wait for the second part of the trilogy and the next set of patterns to come out!"
–Donna Druchunas Author
"This isn't a book just for kids, or knitters, or fantasy readers. This is a really good story, which requires a bit of patience and thought to appreciate. I would recommend this book to anybody, and if it gets them interested in the meaning and magic of fiber and dyeing, so much the better." [more]
–Anne Berk AnneTarsiaKnits.com An Entertaining Yarn
"Ms. Potter has skillfully avoided the two dangers of writing a novel about witches. The magic practiced in the book is not dark or Satanic nor do the witches say corny spells. The witches are sort of like skilled chemists or professors, which makes them fascinating and complex…You don't have to be a knitter to enjoy this book…There are many knitting-related references in the book. The book also skews toward a female audience. The witches are strong women, who may not be perfect, but have the confidence, sense of humor and wisdom gained with age."
– Anne Briggs Ruly Bookshelf: The Broken Circle, Yarns of the Knitting Witches by Cheryl Potter
"The Broken Circle is the first book in a new trilogy by Cheryl Potter, one of the foremost experts in the world of knitting, dyes, and patterns…the inhabitants of the Middlelands face a danger worse than any can remember…with female protagonists and strong male characters introduced along the way, The Broken Circle introduces themes of family relationships, coming of age, tough decision making, and so much more." [more]
– Julia Gabriel – Nugglemama's Handful – Summer Reading Recommendations from My Kids
"From the moment I cracked the cover and read the Introduction, I realized that this book was not quite one that I had ever run across before. On the surface, The Broken Circle is a fantasy novel about a group of witches who draw power from the magical knit garments that they wear…Overall, the story of a group of ill-matched people that save the world as they know it, isn't a new one, but this felt like a fresh young take on the old misfits on a journey story-line. [more]
–Mama Marilyn – A Lot of Loves
"This is a powerful book for female readers. The main characters are all realistic, well-developed females. The lessons learned throughout the story provide solid values. And, for people interested in diving deeper, parents and teachers can use the story to drive discussion, learn vocabulary, deepen analytical reasoning, and more, using the workbook available at potluckyarn.com." [more]
–Ms. Bekah Jorgensen Motherhood Moment
"The Broken Circle introduces themes of family relationships, coming of age, tough decision making, and so much more…In the spirit of learning, there is an incredibly interactive website with a complimentary reading guide workbook that is available for free download at: www.potluckyarn.com. The workbook is a fantastic learning tool for independent readers as well as for parents and educators. [more]
–Ms. Emilee Reynolds Sweetly Made (Just for You)
"This is a book that I found myself lost in, almost from the start. I have read a lot of fantasy novels, and this one is a really good example of how the genre should be done. Potter weaves an entire world and all of its lore into this book, and yet it is all is easy to read and quite engaging." [more]
–Ms. Amy Nelson Games Fiends
"To weave and knit is to create, an act with its own weight behind it. "The Broken Circle: Yarns of the Knitting Witches" is a twist of fantasy and needlework from Cheryl Potter, who provides an original twist of the battle between good and evil, weaving some magic and telling the legends of the Middlelands and the strike against the nastiness that lurks under it. "The Broken Circle" is a strong addition to fantasy collections for young adults, much recommended."
– James A. Cox Editor-in-Chief Midwest Book Review
"In full disclosure, I was gifted this book by the author, Cheryl Potter, one of my Stitch Sprouts designers.
I don't usually enjoy 'knitting" fiction.' Something about it always seems fake. The knitting feels forced and can even take away from the story. The characters are typically flat and stereotypical; the situations are generally eye-roll worthy.
The Broken Circle, Yarns of the Knitting Witches is different. I loved reading this book! The entire fantastical world that Cheryl has created relies on knitting, dyeing, and fiber arts and so these things feel integrated, not added-on. The characters are well developed and interesting. Each has their own interesting story, and I want to know them all.
The plot of the story unfolds amidst colorful descriptions of hand-knits, fiber, and of course, the knitting witches. The world is in trouble and only the knitting witches have the power (maybe) to save it! Magic crystals, fantastical creatures, a war torn land, and clever women come together in this truly enjoyable yarn. The Broken Circle is the first of a trilogy and I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment to be finished so I can find out what happens next.
Along with the novel, a pattern booklet is available with projects inspired by items in the book. I think this is an ingenious addition and really brings the whole story together."
Heather Zoppetti Stitch Sprouts
"Yarns of the Knitting Witches creates a whole world of mythology with knitting and it accoutrements at its center. Of course, we who are devotees of this craft already believe that it can save a world that is rushing toward disaster, but it took Cheryl to embody that faith in this highly ambitious undertaking. The Broken Circle, first book in the trilogy, is a good read with a fast moving plot rolling smoothly through a rich and varied landscape. Its knitted accessories, detailed in the accompanying pattern book, should give ample inspiration, especially to those who have yet to become knitters. I think the combo is a great idea and you definitely want the patterns separate because of the nature of patterns. Culinary mysteries can include recipes, but knitting patterns are more demanding."
– Anna Zilboorg author of Knitting For Anarchists
"Not only is The Broken Circle a well-plotted fantasy, but Potter adds swoon-worthy descriptions of yarns and knitting projects that will have any knitter reaching for her needles. There is much to explore in this richly detailed world, enhanced not only by charming illustrations but by the companion book of knitting patterns!"
– Jessica Day George author of Tuesdays at the Castle
"The Potluck Yarn Trilogy is a brand-new way of looking at storytelling, the unique patterns and illustrations make this well-crafted tale."
– Rachael Herron author of the international bestseller A Life in Stitches

Unless you're hypersensitive about spoilers, live-tweeting political debates and Lindsay Lohan TV movies is one of the best things about Twitter.
Unless you're hypersensitive about spoilers, live-tweeting political debates and Lindsay Lohan TV movies is one of the best things about Twitter—and the U.K. is catching on.
Around 60 percent of Twitter users in the country are active while watching television, and approximately 40 percent of Twitter traffic during primetime viewing hours relates to the box.
Twitter's U.K. sales director, Bruce Daisley, suggested that Twitter can help boost a show's ratings and halt audience attrition. Speaking at a Twitter event in London Thursday, he pointed out that Dynamo saw its audience go up by 50 percent over the season.
"Twitter and TV have become extraordinary partners over the past 12 months—Twitter loves TV and TV loves Twitter," Daisley said, according to MediaWeek.
Andy Littledale, managing director of SecondSync, the company that provided Daisley's stats, said that while people are talking about TV across a number of social networks, it's far easier to track what's being said on Twitter than on Facebook.
Daisley was keen to point out that Twitter is a "layer" that runs parallel to TV, with which it has a "phenomenal" relationship, and that Twitter is pushing TV viewing and discovery in a "virtuous circle." In other words, tweeters might see a chatter about a show among people they follow and decide to tune in, on learn about a show through Twitter's ad products and tweet about it later.
Twitter's certainly helpful in creating buzz around shows, but it's impossible to know for sure exactly how those tweets turn into ratings.

Despite her searingly hot appearance, "Heartless" singer, Kanye West's ex Amber Rose, seems like one of your hot friends that you think would get around more, but is actually a wifey type.
That's why her recent admission to Star Magazine that Kim Kardashian was a "homewrecker" that "got in the middle" of her highly-publicized relationship with Yeezy is so interesting.
Because as much as we hope that's not true, we've often suspected that to be true. But still, who even knows if it's true?
According to a recent discussion Amber Rose had with Star Magazine, Kim K. and Kanye W. were both cheating on their significant others with each other.
"They were both cheating…They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other," explained Amber Rose.
"She was sending pictures, and I was like, 'Kim, just stop. Don't be that person…I thought at least she'd be woman enough to respond to me. She never responded. It's very important that us women stick together and we don't f— each other over like that."
Amber continued: "Kim is one of the main reasons why me and Kanye are not together…she's a homewrecker!"
If we had an awesome man like Wiz Khalifa, we'd keep past heartbreak hidden. We're just sayin'.
- What do you think? Should Amber Rose have told the world about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sneaking around behind her back? Let us know in the comments!

The film is a document of the Winter Soldier Investigation, held at a hotel in Detroit from January 31 through February 2, 1971. For three days, Vietnam veterans reported to the world the many atrocities that they witnessed - or worse, performed. It was a chance to put into the public record what the public did not want to hear, revealing that the My Lai massacre was not an isolated incident, that soldiers were being told to ignore the Geneva convention, that our young men were having their lives destroyed by being turned into soulless killing machines.
A group of eighteen filmmakers - who at the time remained anonymous under the credit of "Winterfilm" - captured every moment of these three days. The film opens with the former soldiers being given preliminary interviews by the investigation organizers (watch for a young John Kerry in one shot); it's a way to prepare the young men, to help them clarify their thoughts, but it's also a way to warm them up to the idea of talking openly about things they have kept secret for years. (As one filmmaker says on a documentary accompanying the DVD, it's likely that these men never repeated these stories again. We could be watching the only time such truths were ever revealed to anyone.)
The rest of the film slams us with a startling simplicity: we're merely watching these speeches unfold. Some are captured in brutal close-up, others are given the treatment of the cold distance of a piece for the nightly news. Occasionally a photograph of a soldier from his war days or film footage of wartime destruction will pop onto the screen. But for the most part, it's all just the sight of these damaged men talking about the things that haunt them, as delivered in the harshest of black-and-white photography.
The stories told here are the kind that will haunt you, and for that reason, I will not cheapen them or dilute their effectiveness by repeating them here. These are tales that must be heard from the soldiers themselves, tales of how they were conditioned to believe the enemy was not human. This is ninety minutes of the darkest, coldest, most vile aspects of warfare, and it comes at you with a desperation that demands you learn of the horror. Most shocking here is how young these men are; consider, then, that while they're so young, this is after they're returned from war. They were just boys.
The object of both the investigation and the film that captured it, we are told, is not only to tell the world about the secret evils of this war, but to question the very intents of the war itself. In scene after scene that will strike the viewer as eerily familiar, we see men talk of how they believed in the cause, that they honestly felt that by fighting the Viet Cong, they were defending their country. Some talk of how they enlisted to help pay for college. One man tells of how he "was sufficiently brainwashed" not only into signing up, but reenlisting for a second tour. And as one organizer says in an early scene, these statements must be made so we can question our leaders as to how our country got to this point in the first place.
Short versions of the film, produced while the feature was being edited, were rushed together to be used to help rally anti-war protestors and to build support for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the organization which led the Winter Soldier Investigation. The full-length version of "Winter Soldier" premiered in 1972; it toured the festival circuit (including a notable performance at Cannes), opened in some art house theater somewhere for too short a time, ran a few times on public television, and then disappeared. Unlike later films dealing with the ghosts of Vietnam, "Winter Soldier" apparently proved too much to take.
Milliarium Zero chose 2005 as the perfect time to finally rerelease "Winter Soldier," obviously as a comment on the too-familiar state of affairs in Iraq. And yes, it's all too tempting to watch this film with the somber knowledge that history is doomed to repeat itself just because some of us shamefully refuse to learn the lessons of the past. Even the title, which refers to Thomas Paine's notes on "the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot," serves as a "support our troops" rallying cry. Then, as now, it is not the soldiers but the war that angers so many. (Granted, the poor treatment of Vietnam vets then has gotten people today to trip over themselves to make sure their war protests are not directed at the troops themselves, but that only makes the film and its title even more powerful today. We're disgusted at the idea that these men were not treated with the same respect that we give to their present counterparts, and we're more willing to listen to and understand their plight.)
But even without comparing the film to current events, it resonates. It perfectly captures a key moment in our nation's history, a first-person account of what has since become emotionless words in a textbook. It pays tribute to men who spoke up at a time when it was dangerous to do so. "Winter Soldier" is daring, upsetting, and one of the most important films ever created.
The DVD
Considering the movie was shot with aging, leftover film stock scavenged from wherever the filmmakers could grab it, the video is allowed to be a bit on the less-than-impressive side. Besides, the heavy film grain and harsh contrast (which in a few shots douses the soldiers in a sea of white) only goes to enhance the film's effectiveness. In its own way, this is exactly how such a film should look. Presented in its original 1.33:1 full frame format.
The mono soundtrack is all that's needed to capture the words of these men. Considering the on-the-fly manner in which the film was produced, it's surprising that it sounds this clear. French and German optional subtitles are offered, and the film begins with a text announcement that English Closed Captioning is available.
"Winter Soldier: A Conversation With the Filmmakers" is an 18-minute roundtable discussion with several of the formerly anonymous Winterfilm members. Obviously heavily edited down from a lengthy reunion, this provides some brief, essential insight into the movie's hectic production. It's all we really need in terms of a making-of.
"Seasoned Veteran: The Journey of a Winter Soldier" takes a closer look at Scott Camil, the vet whose long, haunting monologues play a vital role in the film. The 40-minute documentary catches up with Camil, who's spent a lifetime as an anti-war activist.
"Americal Division" and "First Marine Division" are two short films produced while "Winter Soldier" was being edited together. These were the shorts used in anti-war rallies and Vietnam Veterans Against the War meetings. Both contain footage from the final movie, but also feature some unused shots and different introductions, making them essential companion pieces.
An audio presentation of Graham Nash's 1973 song "Oh Camil!" (a protest tune dedicated to Scott Camil) is a nice inclusion, although you'll probably be better off running out and buying the CD.
Finally, a trailer for the film's 2005 release and a comprehensive stills gallery are also included, and those of you who enjoy DVD-ROM extras are treated to a collection of text files, mostly testimony documents.
Final Thoughts
Harsh, horrific, and nearly impossible to get through in one sitting, "Winter Soldier" slaps you with a brutal honesty missing in too many news reports, both then and now. But no matter how difficult the movie may be to watch, few films can call themselves as important. This is something everyone should see, and a disc you'll be demanding everyone you know to borrow. "Winter Soldier" couldn't have resurfaced at a better time. Highly Recommended, without hesitation.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for CAMP KUDZU INC, Smyrna, GA, USA
Our son was diagnosed with type 1 a year ago. Our family went to their Fall family camp just a few weeks afterwards and it was enormously helpful in so many ways: practical information, medical answers from volunteer doctors, meeting new friends and forming a network of support, and just sheer inspiration from stories of people who are living healthy lives by working hard. This summer our 9 year old attended Camp Kudzu. It was an amazing experience for him to be a regular kid and not the only one in the room having to monitor carbs & take shots & repeatedly check his blood glucose. These kids never get a break from diabetes, but at the camp they get a break from being the "different" kids.

MARTINEZ — The Martinez Unified School District is cutting costs and capturing income thanks to the California PG&E ratepayer investment in solar power.
PG&E presented a symbolic $1 million check to the district during a March 27 ceremony at Martinez Junior High School, featuring newly installed solar arrays.
The $1 million represents the amount of California Solar Initiative (CSI) fund incentive rebates PG&E expects to give MUSD over the next five years for installing solar systems at nine school sites.
"There are very few ways for the district to create revenue," district Superintendent Rami Muth said.
Muth talked about the value of partnerships with business, as well as other governmental entities, calling the construction of the solar arrays a "living legacy" for Martinez.
Martinez Mayor Rob Schroder said the city is employing similar kinds of energy-saving strategies and collaborating with MUSD at monthly meetings.
"Under the leadership of Rami Muth, the city has been able to find ways to better serve our common constituents," Schroder said.
Voter approval of Measure K, allowing MUSD to continue to sell bonds to pay for school facility improvements is a key to the solar-driven environmental benefits and financial bonanza. About $5,845,800 of the total bond money will be used to pay cash for solar installations.
With that investment, the district becomes a solar power producer entitled to a reduced PG&E rate, and provides a CSI rebate of about 11 to 12 cents per kilowatt of MUSD power production during the next five years, according to David Willard, a principal of Sage Renewables, the lead renewable energy consulting firm for the MUSD projects.
"It is a great deal for schools," he said.
MUSD pays about 18 cents per kilowatt, according to Kevin Stein, energy education specialist for the school district, who explained, "Utility bills are paid out of the general fund. The cost avoidance (reduced PG&E bill) will leave more money in the general fund."
MUSD's photo voltaic systems are designed to cover 90 percent of each school site's average PG&E bill. They are guaranteed for 20 years (including maintenance) and expected to last longer, according to Aaron Jobson, principal architect with Quattrocchi Kwok Architects of Santa Rosa, who designed the systems.
"Every site is different," Jobson said. "We look for solar access, a minimal loss of trees and how the structural impact would best benefit the school. And cost is a factor."
Martinez Junior High Principal Helen Rossi said the historic character of the 82-year-old building was important.
"We wanted to maintain the integrity and beauty of the school," she said.
Jobson chose south- and west-facing ground level sites behind the school. It took Solar City about four months to complete the installation of 18,000 square feet of panels at a cost of $987,605.
Upcoming MUSD solar projects at Las Juntas Elementary School include a solar panel array in the parking area, combined with entry and drop-off area upgrades. An addition to the Alhambra High School Performing Arts building will also incorporate solar.
Stein noted that solar installations are the other half of an energy cost avoidance effort begun by the school district in 2011.
"The district hired Cenergistic, a leader in behavior modification and source of experts on energy savings to help us for the first four years," Stein said. "We have avoided about $165,000 in costs since the beginning of our program from April 2011 through August 2012."
Behavior modification involves actions such as turning off heating and cooling thermostats at night and when the school is closed for vacation, and installation of controlling hardware and energy-saving devices. Stein monitors the results for the district.
"We expect to save about $200,000 per year on our PG&E costs through the behavior modification," he said.
A portion of the savings goes to pay the consultants for the first four years.
State Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, who serves on the Senate Committee for Energy, Utilities and Communications, said, "I applaud the school district's work to improve its energy efficiency and utilize solar energy to create cleaner air and local jobs with positive cost savings for the district."
Wolk spokeswoman Melissa Jones-Ferguson said Wolk is working on SB43, which is intended to remove obstacles that deter schools and local governments and others from investing in off-site renewable energy. Utility customers could buy a portion of the off-site energy and get credit for it on their PG&E bill.

Britney is turning into a total wreck. She went to Hyde again last night and it's looking like she got completely wasted. To give Brit the benefit of the doubt, maybe she's just having a hard time walking due to the massive amount of cameras around her. Still, the girl needs to put on a bra immediately! Besides disappointing us all by taking on a new BFF like Paris, Britney is starting to piss off her record label, Jive. Page Six reports:
Spears, who earlier in the month was hard at work in New York studios, has "been missing recent recording sessions because she has been out all night partying," said our spy. "The label [Jive] is very worried." Spears - who has been telling pals, "I gave birth for 21/2 years, and now I want to party" - also settled for second choice with managers. The pop tart is now managed by Larry Rudolph, but our insider said she first went to Christina Aguilera's starmaker, Irving Azoff, and he negged her because "Britney wanted to cheap him. She only wanted to give him 5 percent instead of 10. So she went with Larry."
Come on Brit! Please don't ruin your chances of a comeback. We're just hoping this is all over in a week and we can wake up from this holiday nightmare.

All quotes by Tallulah Bankhead
(34 quotes found)
"The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I'd make all the same mistakes - only sooner."
"Let's not quibble! I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.."
"I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone."


text:
|And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."
|And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
|So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
|who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

Through her peerless fact gathering and devastating prose, Tarbell pioneered the new practice of investigative journalism. Her shocking discoveries about Standard Oil and Rockefeller led to a dramatic confrontation that culminated in the landmark 1911 Supreme Court antitrust decision, forever altering the landscape of modern American industry. Based on extensive research, Taking on the Trust is a vivid and dramatic history of the Progressive Era, with powerful resonance for the early 21st century.
©2008 Steve Weinberg; (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"This book tells a dramatic story in an engaging style and will be a good addition for both public and academic libraries." (Library Journal)
"Annoying Narrator"
Narrator does a stupid accent every time she is reading a quote, especially if it's Rockefeller. Irritating. Not bad book.

4:4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
4:5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Cf. 1 Kings 12:25-33 . Any altar at Beth-el, after the establishment of Jehovah's worship at Jerusalem was of necessity divisive and schismatic. Deuteronomy 12:4-14 . Cf. ; John 4:21-24 ; Matthew 18:20 ; Hebrews 13:10-14 .
