The feud between Real Housewives of New Jersey' Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita is far from over. At odds on the September 23 finale of Bravo's hit over Strippergate, the former friends continue to fight — and Giudice is now threatening to take legal action against her.
In a Wednesday interview on Anderson Cooper's Anderson Live, Giudice also denied Laurita's claims that she wasn't supportive of Laurita's son's recent autism diagnosis. "I did reach out to her, I texted her," Giudice told Cooper and guest co-host Kellie Pickler.
When Cooper asked why Giudice didn't pick up the phone to voice her support, the Housewives star revealed that she is limiting contact with Laurita, who continues to send her "random text messages."
"If it keeps going, eventually I am going to go to the cops because I want her to leave me alone. I did nothing to her," Giudice said. "When I get texts from her I get chills throughout my body because I am like 'why?' I haven't spoken to her in a year. I never reach out to her."
Once Giudice's episode of Anderson Live aired, Laurita took to Twitter to respond to Giudice's claims.
"Teresa shouldn't go on TV to say I'm threatening her unless she wants a defamation suit against her," tweeted Laurita. "I've tried2get her to stop& she doesn't. Let's make a deal @teresa_giudice I won't interfere in your life if you'll stop interfering in mine. Lets keep each other's name out of our mouths."

Copper and assorted scrap metal theft, in general, is nothing new for Taunton. But for Jim McMann it's personal.
Copper and assorted scrap metal theft, in general, is nothing new for Taunton. But for Jim McMann it's personal.
It was McMann's 82-year-old mother Catherine who made headlines earlier this month when police tracked down a pair of city men suspected of breaking into the basement of her Hopewell Street home.
The two, 29-year-old Roger Longmire and Cesar Borges, 28, were accused of kicking in the rear basement door, while an unsuspecting Catherine was alone upstairs in her bathroom, and ripping out 100 feet of copper pipes and a water overflow tank — resulting in extensive flooding in the basement and a loss of heat throughout the house.
"It's as if we're becoming a third world country," McMann, 52, said. "We're not secure in our own dwelling. It's getting like the old West when you needed to carry your own protection."
The mid-morning housebreak, because of its brazenness, arguably is the most high-profile example of recent, metal-theft cases in the Silver City.
Although the police department doesn't compile a year-to-year tally specifically related to metals theft, a daily check of the TPD police blotter indicates an increasing number of victims — among them contractors, privately and publicly owned buildings, empty foreclosed houses, and at least one attempt to steal brass railing from the steps of the downtown post office.
Wayne J. Griffin Electric, a subcontractor that for months has been working on the construction project at the Taunton High/Parker school complex on Williams Street, this week reported a theft over the previous weekend of heavy copper wire worth between $40,000 and $60,000.
When a Griffin Electric employee on Monday recognized 2,100 pounds of wire worth $6,000 at Old Colony Scrap at 22 Fifth St., police were called in and arrested Paul Brady, 46, of Longwood Avenue and issued a warrant for the arrest of Charles Street resident Daniel Aleixo, 38, for felony breaking and entering and receiving stolen property.
Copper's allure
Copper theft in particular, here and across the country, increased significantly in 2007, as commodity-market prices jumped and local scrap yards began paying more than $2.50 per pound.
Since then, copper futures on the NYMEX's Comex (Commodity Exchange Inc.) have remained steady, and on February 15 hit a record high of $4.65, according to Bloomberg news service.
McMann said the break-in didn't faze his mother, who has insisted on staying in the house where she and her late husband raised their sons.
"She said, 'I'll be fine.' As long as she has her electric blanket when she watches TV she's satisfied. She's a tough old warhorse," McMann said.
And although he respects his mother's wishes to stay in the house, McMann and his family have taken measures to ensure it never happens again.
He says they spent $1,500, not just to replace a shattered door and frame, but to install steel braces that now run the length of every basement window. There's also a removable metal rod that gets attached to the door so it can't be easily kicked in.
It cost $1,600 to replace and install new copper pipes, McMann said, adding that he's still waiting for a settlement payment from his insurance carrier. He's also paying a restoration company to dry out the still-soggy basement.
Longmire and Borges, the men charged with stealing the copper pipes and water tank, made a profit of $51 when they sold a portion of their booty to a local scrap yard, cops said.
Police, in their report, also note that Borges apparently had bragged of stealing equipment from a landscaping business from which he'd been fired and then selling it to a competing landscaper in the city.
And isn't it ironic, McMann noted, that his own work vehicle last September was broken into while parked in his driveway, resulting in a loss of $7,000 worth of tools, half of which were his personal belongings.
Toughening laws
Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh said high unemployment and attractive scrap yard prices for copper notwithstanding, the main impetus of metals theft remains drug addiction.
"We have an ongoing (addiction) problem," Walsh said.
Both Borges and Longmire claimed to have used the $51 they reaped from the McMann housebreak to buy and get high on heroin, police said.
There never has been an easy fix for illicit drug use. But in the meantime, Walsh said, he suggests that Bay State legislators follow the example of states that have adopted tougher operating regulations for scrap yards.
Arkansas, for example, requires scrap metal recycle businesses to obtain seller's fingerprints and to pay by check to sellers previously found guilty of burglary or vandalism involving scrap metal.
Taunton's local ordinance governing junk and metal dealers stipulates that they keep a detailed record of each purchase, as well as the seller's age, residence and motor vehicle registration; if the seller doesn't own a vehicle, then whomever drove the materials to the yard must provide his or her license number.
Walsh said Massachusetts and Taunton should have access to a "centralized data base" for tracking sales.
Many, if not most, of people who steal copper, brass, aluminum and iron metal products in the city make a point of trying to unload it at junkyards in other municipalities, such as New Bedford, Brockton and Fall River, he said.
But Walsh said scrap metal owners and operators need to be ever more vigilant as to whom they decide to buy from.
"They should have a consumer sense by now, and call police when a red flag goes up," he said.
Scrap yard perspective
Joseph Enos said he remembers his father, who in 1933 established Enos Metals junkyard on Godfrey Street, telling him stories about out-of-work men who occasionally tried selling him stolen goods.
"My father was a nice man. He would tell me they probably needed the money more than he did," Enos, 77, said.
But circumstances have certainly changed since the early 1970s when Enos Metals relocated to 20 Dana St.
"I caught a guy stealing (aluminum car) rims on the way in. They're so goddarned brazen," he said.
Enos said the long-stagnant economy "has been creating a lot of thievery." But he also says he's come to realize that "some people steal for want and some because they're thieves."
Enos Metals. he said, has always cooperated with police, even though it means taking a loss after unwittingly paying for stolen metal later reclaimed by its rightful owner.
"We try the best we can," he said, noting that his office manager meticulously keeps a record of each transaction and invoice.
And although Enos Metals has a posted policy forbidding metals delivered by bicycles, walk-ins or shopping carriages (Trucchi's Supermarkets abuts the property), slip-ups will occur.
According to police, during their investigation an Enos employee told them the men who sold them the pipes, brackets and water tank stolen from the McMann residence had arrived on bikes.
Enos said he makes, on average, a five to 10-percent markup on all the metal scrap he sells to large companies, most of which are in Canada and China.
"It's hard to distinguish what's stolen," he said. "We can't refuse everybody, and we can't accuse everybody."
At Old Colony Scrap, located literally on the other side of the tracks at 22 Fifth St. in Weir Village, metals buyer Daniel Moore said that his family has always played by the rules.
He said the overwhelming number of people trying to sell scrap metal are return customers.
Moore said even though he's not required to do so by law, he usually ends up keeping newly bought scrap in his West Water Street yard for at least a week while it's prepped for delivery.
He acknowledges that some thieves are motivated by drug use, but Moore said he also blames contractors who pay close to minimum wage for labor that five years ago would have cost as much as $20 per hour.
And some people simply can't resist taking advantage of their employers, he said.
Moore recalls a bridge repair project in the Weir a few years ago that included installing new manhole covers. Construction workers wearing identifiable shirts and caps came in and sold old manhole covers ostensibly on behalf of their bosses.
The next week, he said, they came in with new manhole covers, claiming them to be surplus.
"They were wearing company shirts and hats, so why not buy it?" Moore said.
Time is money
Stephen Lima, plumbing foreman for Sagamore Plumbing & Heating knows how metal theft can disrupt a business's operations.
Sagamore is a subcontractor at the $112 million Taunton High/Parker school project. On May 11 they reported the theft of $1,500 worth of cast iron pipes and drains that had been stored near the school's loading dock.
Police eventually located a small portion of the goods at Old Colony Scrap.
Lima said that besides the monetary loss, a theft of construction materials can sabotage his schedule. And as the adage goes, time is money.
"Besides the money, it's lost time that hurts us," he said.
James Weber said he should have suspected something was amiss when he noticed a pickup truck on more than one occasion driving away from his rural Prospect Hill Street house.
The last time it happened he noticed a pile of heavy metal parts piled willy-nilly in the truck's bed.
"I thought, 'What the hell's going on?'" Weber, 43, said.
His suspicion aroused, Weber walked behind his house to where he operates a part-time sawmill operation and discovered at least $8,000 of parts from old sawmill equipment missing.
"That dirty bastard drove all the way around behind my property to get it," he said.
Weber said he'd been collecting the rare Lane pieces over the years with the intention of building a working replica.
He said he's confident the culprit will be caught; both he and a neighbor managed to jot down parts of the truck's plate number.
The moral of the story, he said, is to "keep your eyes open."

Julianne Moore joins Still Alice
- Bang Showbiz
- 6 November 2013
Julianne Moore has joined 'Still Alice' after signing up to play a university professor who faces the early onset of Alzeheimer's disease
Julianne Moore has joined 'Still Alice'.
The 52-year-old actress has landed the star role after signing up to play a university professor in an adaptation of Lisa Genova's novel, according to Variety.
The story follows a cognitive psychologist (Moore) who faces the early onset of Alzeheimer's disease and as the illness takes over her, the relationships between her family begin to break down.
Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland - who directed and penned 'The Last of Robin Hood' - are on board to direct the "moving and haunting" adaptation.
Shooting for the "heartbreakingly real" movie is expected to kick off mid-February next year in New York City.
Meanwhile, Moore has recently signed up to star in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' after landing the role of rebellious leader President Alma Coin in parts one and two of the film franchise.
Production on the final two movies will begin this year for release in November 2014 and November 2015, respectively.
The second movie in the series, 'Catching Fire', is due for release in November.

I know only part of his story. I know him playing the cello on a dairy crate in the morning sun, suspended somewhere between boy genius and lost traveler.
But where does he go after dark?
For answers, I've come to skid row in downtown Los Angeles to spend the evening with Nathaniel Anthony Ayers. The sun has dropped behind glittering skyscrapers, and hardened creatures roam the streets.
Strung-out prostitutes strut their way down trashed streets. Fallen drunks are sprawled like bodies in the desert. Dozens of human forms disappear under piles of rags and casket-shaped cardboard boxes. Predators and hustlers lurk at the edges, tossing glances sharp as knives. Sewer smells mix in with the stench of urine, rotting food and unending stress.
No sign of Nathaniel yet on Los Angeles Street. This is his spot, he has told me. We were to meet at dusk.
But dusk comes and goes. More than a dozen people have staked out their spots and turned in for the night. I wonder if he's decided to spend the night elsewhere.
Nathaniel told me earlier about a savage beating that happened around here the other night. He didn't see the assault, but he saw the results.
"The guy's bones were rearranged in his face. I don't know why you'd beat a person like that. It makes no sense."
As I wait, a San Fernando Valley ministry serves chicken dinners to a long line of takers. Then the volunteers form a circle, call me to join hands with them and bow their heads in prayer. When the missionaries leave, a dazed blond woman caked in filth dials 911 on a pay phone. Sirens echo off concrete as two fire rescue crews approach.
"It's my heart," she tells the rescue crew, and the chief tells me they respond to calls like this repeatedly, night after night. The woman is loaded into a van and taken to the hospital.
I'm beginning to give up hope on Nathaniel when, around 9 o'clock, I see the familiar orange shopping cart approach from a block away. Everything he owns after half a century on this Earth is in that basket. The violin he bought in Cleveland is in there, along with the violin and cello donated to him by a reader from the Inland Empire.
Nathaniel has stopped under an apartment building, where live rock music is pouring out a second-floor window.
"You like the music?" I ask.
"You call that music?" Nathaniel responds.
He's classically trained. Boy wonder in Cleveland. Scholarship to Juilliard. And then 30 years of voices, demons, unexplainable outbursts, mental hospitals, antipsychotic drugs, missed opportunities and tormented, heartbroken, worn-out relatives.
Two dead palm fronds rise from the front of his basket, Jesus entering Jerusalem. At the rear, two sticks form an X. They are slid into the slots of a Ford hubcap, and Nathaniel has painted "Beethoven" on one and "Brahms" on the other.
Nathaniel rolls the cart down to his spot in front of a locked-down storefront.
"I know these guys," he says, pointing to half a dozen sprawled men who don't acknowledge his arrival.
Nathaniel tells me that if a fight breaks out, he knows whom to count on, whom to run from, where to hide.
"Straight down that street is the Police Department," Nathaniel says.
His survival skills are sharp after years on the streets, but he moves warily at times, and feels for the sawed-off wooden chair leg attached to his belt and hidden under a sweater tied around his waist. He remembers how that man looked after the horrible beating. Maybe it was a drug deal, he says, or a hustle gone bad.
"Did they have to beat him like that?" he asks.
I ask Nathaniel if he ever thinks about sleeping on safer streets, or cleaning up a bit and getting an apartment somewhere.
No, he says. This is his turf.
"I'd rather die where I know my way around. I'm out here breathing fresh air, and I'm not trapped in some apartment, cooped up and unheard of."
This is exactly what's so frustrating about Nathaniel. He can sound so sensible, even eloquent. But his irrational choices reveal the depth of his mental illness.
Nathaniel takes a cloth strap and lashes his shopping cart to the metal door of the storefront. Then he unpacks for the night, a ritual he performs while telling me the meaning of his music and his life.
"My vision -- I hate to admit it -- but I'm going to have to do what Mozart did, and die. My vision is to stay in good with God and not worry about far-off stuff, just get across the street safely and be thankful. Honor thy mother and father, don't be disrespectful to people, be good, and maybe the music will take care of itself."
Not five feet away, a young ashen-faced man slumps down and lights a crack pipe.
Helicopters chop up the night, an amputee rolls by in a wheelchair and Nathaniel chases away cockroaches the size of Volkswagens.
"My god doesn't have a special name," Nathaniel says without my asking. "Beethoven could be my god."
He'd been to the library earlier in the day looking for sheet music, carrying a list of the pieces he wants. A Brahms double concerto. Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme for cello and orchestra. Mendelssohn's Third and Fourth Symphonies. Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. Strauss' "Don Quixote."
He couldn't find them, but was thrilled to come away with Camille Saint-Saens' Concerto for Violoncello.
"There's something like 18 or 19 notes in a single pickup," he says with a child's awe. "It's very pleasing that Saint-Saens had all those ideas and was fast enough to get this all down."
Out comes a whisk broom and Nathaniel, perhaps the most compulsively neat person I've ever met, sweeps the sidewalk where he intends to sleep.
"Have to get all this nasty business out of here," he says. He's particularly disgusted by cigarette butts.
The job done, he turns to me.
"Welcome to my humble abode."
Then Nathaniel reaches into the bottom of his cart and offers me a can of Shasta Tiki Punch soda.
"Care for a drink?"
I notice my name written in the center of a clock on which he's replaced the broken hands with a plastic fork and spoon.
"You work for The Times," he explains, "and this is a timepiece."
Out of the basket comes the cello, which he cradles as if it were his child, kneeling down and placing it gently against the wall.
"I'd go to war to defend it," he says.
Next comes the violin, which goes on top of the cello, followed by several layers of blankets and then a tarp.
"Gotta protect those guys," Nathaniel says.
Now he brings out the violin he bought several years ago in Cleveland at Motter's Music House.
"I use it for my pillow," he says, placing the encased violin on the ground against the wheels of his cart.
He pulls the "Beethoven" stick out of the Ford hubcap and sets it upright against the cart.
"When the rodents come," he explains, "this guy takes care of them."
I ask if he beats the rats.
"No, you tap it on the ground, like this. It scares them away."
How about when you're sleeping? I ask.
Instead of answering, he quotes Shakespeare.
"To be or not to be; that is the question.... "
I stand back, smiling.
Nathaniel gestures theatrically with a gloved hand, his shoulders riding the rhythm of the words. He forgets not a word, and his accent is pitch-perfect. It's Richard Burton's Hamlet in an exclusive skid row performance.
" ... For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil...."
A piercing human howl rises from somewhere unknown. Next to us, a rail-thin man scratches maniacally, as if his skin were crawling with bugs. Salvagers come jangling through the streets, plucking away bottles and cans.
Before bed, Nathaniel recites the "Our Father," head bowed, then opens his eyes to see prostitutes trespassing on his prayers.
"I think these children of God are going to be OK," Nathaniel says. "They're going to sleep and dream, like human beings do."
A rat the size of a meatloaf has arrived on the scene, darting up out of the storm drain and heading toward us in search of food. Nathaniel taps the Beethoven stick and the beast retreats.
Should I be more assertive, I wonder, in trying to steer Nathaniel out of skid row and into a residential program? Wouldn't a little arm-twisting be more humane than leaving him here on the streets, where decades of horrendous public policy have created a colony of lost souls?
As he prepares his bed, Nathaniel plays the gracious host and offers me his dairy crate.
"You can rest on there and put your head against the cart," he says.
Before he crawls under the covers, he has a comment.
"I love to think about musicians," he says. "I can imagine Mozart or Beethoven sitting in a room up there with the light on. They hunger and thirst like we do. It's angelic."
He sounds exhausted, but has one last thing to say.
"I hope you rest well, Mr. Lopez. I hope the whole world rests well."

SAFS in the News: Beluga whales dive deeper, longer to find food in Arctic
SAFS alum Donna Hauser is featured in UW Today:
'Reductions in sea ice in the Arctic have a clear impact on animals such as polar bears that rely on frozen surfaces for feeding, mating and migrating. But sea ice loss is changing Arctic habitat and affecting other species in more indirect ways, new research finds.
Beluga whales that spend summers feeding in the Arctic are diving deeper and longer to find food than in earlier years, when sea ice covered more of the ocean for longer periods, according to a new analysis led by University of Washington researchers.
SAFS in the News: Research uncovers the mysterious lives of narwhals
SAFS professor Kristin Laidre is featured in UW Today (February 9):
'Narwhals are some of the most elusive creatures in the ocean, spending most of their lives in deep water far from shore. But research being presented at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland Feb. 12 may shed a bit of light on these enigmatic marine mammals.
New research shows narwhals may prefer to congregate near unique glacier fjords with thick ice fronts and low to moderate calving activity, where icebergs break off infrequently.
SAFS in the News: Simple rules can help fishery managers cope with ecological complexity
SAFS professor Tim Essington is featured in UW Today (February 8):
'To successfully manage fisheries, factors in the environment that affect fish — like food sources, predators and habitat — should be considered as part of a holistic management plan.
That approach is gaining traction in fisheries management, but there has been no broad-scale evaluation of whether considering these ecosystem factors makes any economic sense for the commercial fishing industry.
SAFS in the News: If you care about climate change, should you order salad or seafood?
SAFS professor Ray Hilborn is featured on KUOW:
'Climate change has been identified as a threat to fisheries all over the world, but it's not easy to find out information about the carbon footprint of seafood. Most groups that offer consumers information about seafood "sustainability" focus on issues like fishing industry practices and regulations.
Seafood Watch, one of the leading guides, doesn't look at the carbon footprint of the fish they rate.
SAFS in the News: Small hydroelectric dams increase globally with little research, regulations
SAFS grad student Thiago Couto is featured in UW Today (January 22):
'Hydropower dams may conjure images of the massive Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state or the Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China — the world's largest electricity-generating facility.
But not all dams are the stuff of documentaries. Tens of thousands of smaller hydroelectric dams exist around the world, and all indications suggest that the number could substantially increase in the future.
SAFS in the News: Fish to benefit if large dams adopt new operating approach
SAFS professor Julian Olden is featured in UW Today (December 18):
'Dams and fish have never been best friends.
Thousands of dams built along U.S. rivers and streams over the last century now provide electricity for homes, store water for agriculture and support recreation for people. But they also have significant downstream impacts: They reduce the amount and change the timing of flowing water that fish rely on for spawning, feeding and migration.
SAFS in the News: When to fish: Timing matters for fish that migrate to reproduce
SAFS Professor Tom Quinn is featured in UW Today:
'It's no secret that human activities affect fish, particularly those that must migrate to reproduce. Years of building dams and polluting rivers in some regions have left fish such as salmon struggling to return to their home streams and give birth to the next generation.
A new University of Washington study points to yet another human factor that is hampering the ability of fish to reproduce: the timing of our fishing seasons.
SAFS in the News: Most Valuable Salmon Fishery in the World
SAFS faculty Tom Quinn and Ray Hilborn are featured on CNN Politics:
'This is the most valuable wild salmon fishery in the world
Under the Trump administration, it could become a mine.
This year, 56 million sockeye salmon swam hundreds of miles from the ocean toward the rivers and streams of the Bristol Bay watershed in southwest Alaska.
Many that escaped fishermen and bears leapt over waterfalls and used a mysterious combination of the Earth's magnetic field and their own sensory memories to locate the exact streams where they were born — and then spawned, made gravel nests for their young, and died.
SAFS in the News: Catching a diversity of fish species — instead of specializing — means more stable income for fishers
SAFS postdoc Sean Anderson is featured in UW Today:
'For people who make a living by harvesting natural resources, income volatility is a persistent threat. Crops could fail. Fisheries could collapse. Forests could burn. These and other factors — including changing management regulations and practices — can lower harvests, which depresses income for farmers, fishers and timber harvesters. But the ways that these forces interact to impact income have been difficult to track, especially at the level of the individual worker.
SAFS in the News: Old fish few and far between under fishing pressure
SAFS postdoc Lewis Barnett and professors Trevor Branch and Tim Essington are featured in UW Today:
'Like old-growth trees in a forest, old fish in the ocean play important roles in the diversity and stability of marine ecosystems. Critically, the longer a fish is allowed to live, the more likely it is to successfully reproduce over the course of its lifetime, which is particularly important in variable environmental conditions.

Federal workers back to work as government reopens
This story was updated at 12:45 p.m.
After 16 days of government shutdown, the federal government officially reopened its doors Thursday morning and summoned back the hundreds of thousands of workers who had been furloughed.
"Welcome back," President Obama told workers when he addressed the nation Thursday. "What you do is important and don't let anybody else tell you differently."
The change will be most notable in Washington, D.C., where the federal government has its largest presence. Vacations for out-of-towners will get back on track as the Capitol Visitor Center, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Smithsonian institutions are reopen to the public, and there is no longer limited access to the memorials on the National Mall. The National Zoo will not reopen until Friday, but the popular panda cam comes back online Thursday.
Across the country, national parks that had been shuttered will start allowing visitors. The Obama administration allowed some states to use their own money to reopen the parks, which are vital for the economies of the towns that surround them.
- Obama defeats the Republican Party in shutdown showdown
- Congress ends shutdown, averts default, but at what cost?
Members of the administration - fresh off an undisputed victory in the negotiations - welcomed back returning employees. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough manned the northwest gate of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and Vice President Biden headed to the Environmental Protection Agency with some muffins in hand to say hello to the returning 168,000 people he said were furloughed.}
But there's an air of pessimism even though the crisis has ended for the moment. Asked if there was any guarantee this wouldn't happen again in just a few months, Biden said, "there's no guarantee of anything."
That was certainly the attitude among federal employees who spoke to CBS News Thursday as they returned to work. "Nothing's solved. They just put it off," said federal worker Alice Welch. "We'll start all over again in January. So now we'll just save up our paychecks to be without money for stuff. Had to put off bills. Mortgages had to be delayed. I think it's ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned Congress should not get paid." Kim Cash from Woodbridge, Va., said she didn't think the conflict was over either. "It's just delayed till January. So for now I'm glad to be back at work doing what we're supposed to be doing, and hopefully we won't go through this again."
Cheryl Delamater from New Carrollton, Md., said members of Congress "need to give up their perks. They need to know what it's like to suffer without a paycheck...[to] not be able to sleep at night wondering how you're going to pay your mortgage."
"The American people I hope will come out on Election Day and tell them what they think," she said.
As EPA employees walked in, they were handed a one-page memo from EPA administrator Gina McCarthy welcoming them back and promising to ensure a smooth transition. Other notes included a directive that all government travel is cancelled until Oct. 20 and instructions to remove any "out of office" messages.
Roughly 800,000 workers were sent home on Oct. 1, but several hundred thousand were recalled midway through the shutdown, particularly Defense Department employees.
"This manufactured crisis was an unwelcome and unnecessary distraction from our critical work of keeping the country safe," said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a memo to all Defense Department personnel Thursday. "I know that each of your lives has been disrupted and affected in different ways. I regret the impact that this shutdown had on so many of our civilian personnel, particularly those who I was previously unable to recall from emergency furlough."
There was one bright spot for employees returning to work: part of the legislation passed by Congress Wednesday night to end the shutdown will be paid retroactively.

Moto-Terminators are automated motorcycles, produced by Skynet sometime before 2018, whose main purpose is to hunt down humans. A specialized cold weather version of the Moto-Terminator, known as the Snowminator, is deployed in operation on patrol in the Alaskan Wilderness. The Moto-Terminator has red optic sensors and plasma emitters on its sides. The Harvester stores Moto-Terminators in its lower legs and releases them to round up fleeing humans and make them easier to capture.

This question is for Americans. Undeniably, despite the vast differences between atheists and agnostics on the one hand and the more exotic brands of Christianity that believe in snake handling and faith healing on the other, don't we have this in common: that we both depend upon respect for the Freedom of Religion guaranteed by The Bill of Rights? And thus shouldn't we step to their defense when the government wants to make an exception and prosecute them for their practices?
Remember, the mainstream religious community views us as pretty much in the same "religious weirdo" bag with the more wacko religious sects.
Views: 399
i get what you're trying to say but to defend people who teach children and other adults lies is never right in my book.
if they can be convinced, then yes i'd agree with you but you know most of them will shove away any facts contradicting their religion. there's a point where you have to draw the line and say this is wrong.
the fact is no matter how many times you tell them they will not listen. and we shouldn't just let them do and say whatever they want because it's politically correct to do so.
the fact is no matter how many times you tell them they will not listen.and we shouldn't just let them do and say whatever they want because it's politically correct to do so.
You wanna toss out Freedom of Speech as well then? A democratic government can't mandate how it's citizens should live, think, speak, and what they should value. Citizens have the right not to listen, to wallow or revel in their religious ignorance--it's self-determination. People who know better can provide a light for those in doubt and support for those who do leave. We should be building stronger public education systems, not trying to close down the conversation entirely by driving fanatics underground.
no why would i want that? i was merely talking about if we should defend them. no i don't think they should be prosecuted.
but the idea of we should protect someone who promotes violence against a particular race or belief is wrong. and it's not difficult to find in the bible or qu'ran the promotion of violence against people who don't accept their god.
read through the bible explain why we should defend a book(that billions of people follow) that says slavery and honour killing is okay, women can be sold like any other properties, etc etc.
yes i understand that most of these people who call themselves "christians" or muslims or jews reject these actions but that doesn't change the fact that their holy book promotes these shit.
I think an amendment is needed.
It isn't just 'lies' they are 'telling them'. It is indoctrination, lies days in and days out, with FEAR to back it up and to make the 'lies' unquestionable.
This is child abuse. It isn't so simple as a parent telling their child one time that the Earth is the center of the Universe. It just simply isn't the same thing.
See, this exposes the problem or dilemma. Once we infringe upon their right to indoctrinate, we expose ourselves to the possibility that we might also become subject to what the majority believes is "right thinking."
I, too, think it's time to call a Constitutional Convention to update the U.S. Constitution, but I would want our freedoms (and those of other citizens) expanded, if anything, not limited.
People are surprised that I am uncomfortable with trials of faith healers, but it is in the interest of having freedom of as well as from religion preserved.
Good. We have the two poles laid out for us here.
The pot is properly stirred.
@Steve We can't forbid everything that endangers people's lives. Consider selling cigarettes or fatty foods. Endangering people's lives is built into automobiles by the compromises that need to be made between safety and having a product people can afford. No, you don't get away with that argument.
I'm asking where we draw the line. I know most of us would be happy to stamp out all religion, especially the theistic kind, but in so doing we need to be careful not to be assisting those who would erode the protections we enjoy.
Most people would cite protecting children from the religious freedom of their parents, for example. Just remember what Bill Maher once said: "When they come to take your rights away, they will do so in the name of protecting the children."

What a way to kick-start April. Today will be marked as a momentous date in gaming lore with this exciting announcement from Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski himself.
As wholesome family-values television shows go, few hold the kind of generation-defining characters as Jim Henson's Sesame Street. Big Bird, Snuffy, Oscar the Grouch, Burt and Ernie – timeless creations from the greatest puppetry studio on the planet. However, why is it that Sesame Street has never had a game spin-off worth playing through? Is it the '5-and-under' age bracket? The squeaky-clean themes? Are these elements holding back a potentially blockbuster franchise?
Yeah, probably.
It doesn't take a genius to look at a brand like Sesame Street and see the potential dollars. But what if, in the traditions of Warren Spector's 'Epic Mickey' game, someone reimagined Henson's colourful cast, fouling their neighbourhood and transforming the Sesame Street franchise into something dark, epic and mature?
Wonder no more. 'Epic Sesame Street' is the brainchild of Clifford Bleszinski over at Epic – the result of a so-called "childhood obsession with Sesame Street and science fiction." Epic has supplied IGN with these images and the results speak for themselves; make of it what you will.
As Cliff explains, "I like to keep gamers on their toes. I like to make them question themselves while they're playing, too. It adds a new dimension to the Sesame Street mythology and I think now's the right time. People are ready for edgier content in games – concepts that take childhood memories and brands and feed them through a meat grinder."
Stick around for a full interview with Cliff Bleszinski coming shortly.

MANSFIELD, Conn.-- Despite a valiant effort, the Beacons dropped a pair of games in the Little East Conference Tournament at the Eastern Connecticut State University Softball Field to end their season. UMass Boston dropped game one 9-0 in a five-inning, mercy-rule game to host and #1 Eastern Connecticut State University (37-11), before falling 2-1 to #5 Western Connecticut State (28-14) University in a tight-fought game.
The Beacons end their season at 17-21 overall which included their record second consecutive Little East Conference Tournament appearance. Seniors Maria Nasta (Andover, Mass.), Kara Willis (Burrillville, R.I.), Lisa Polsonetti (Revere, Mass.) and Jaci Goodwin (Melrose, Mass.) played their final games in Beacons Blue. The senior class finish their careers with a program-record 73 wins.
Nasta tatooed the ball all day going 3-for-4 with the lone Beacons RBI of the day. Junior Sue Killilea (Abington, Mass.) finished with two hits and the lone run of the day for UMass Boston.
Game 1 vs. Eastern Connecticut
Playing amidst a soft rain and chilly conditions, the Beacons struggled to get their bats going against the regular season champion Warriors.
Killilea returned to the lineup after missing the final four games of the regular season and made an instant impact. She led off the game with an infield single and made several diving plays at shortstop. Nasta added a huge double to right-center field that was nearly a home run if not for the wind.
Willis got the start and battled through three-and-one third innings. Willis struggled in the first, allowing four runs, before settling down and allowing just one hit and one unearned run over the course of the next two innings. She couldn't make it out of the fourth though, as she finished with nine runs allowed, seven earned. Freshmen Amber O'Brien (Cumberland, R.I.) made her second appearance of the season in relief and allowed just one hit in two-third of an inning.
UMass Boston continued to struggle against senior pitcher Molly Rathbun, who struck out 11 batters and only allowed two hits en route to her 26th win of the season.
Game 2 vs. Western Connecticut
The Beacons jumped out to an early lead in game two and played an extremely competive game against Western Connecticut but couldn't get any luck at the plate.
Freshman Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) was extremely effective, allowing just two earned runs in six innings against the best offense in Little East during the regular season. Zullo gave up just six hits and struck out three Colonials batters.
Nasta went 2-for-2 against Western Connecticut with an RBI but was forced out on double plays both times she reached base. Sophomore Natalia Bouyea (East Longmeadow, Mass.) reached base three times, with a single, walk and a hit by pitch. Polsonetti, Killilea and right fielder Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) all added singles for the Beacons.
UMass Boston jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning behind a big hit from Nasta. Killilea led off with an infield single to second and advanced to second when Polsonetti put down a sacrifice bunt. With one out and Killilea on second, Nasta crushed a ball through the middle on the ground and Killilea just beat the throw home to give the Beacons a 1-0 lead. The rally wouldn't last long though, as Amanda Perry (Worcester, Mass.) smashed a ball right at the pitcher, who snagged the line drive and doubled Nasta off second.
The Colonials answered in the bottom half of the inning, when Amanda Rizzo doubled and Jackie Zilnicki added one of her three singles. With runners on first and third, Western Connecticut pulled off a double steal and Rizzo just beat the throw home before Perry could apply the tag.
The Beacons put runners in scoring position in the second and third inning but couldn't get the big hit and it cost them in the third. Danielle Basciano came up with two outs in the bottom of the third and hit a fly ball to left field that just barely fell over the left field fence to make it a 2-1 game.
Zullo would run into trouble in the fifth and sixth in with runners on second and third base in each inning but both times she forced Colonials groundouts to keep the margin at one.
Bouyea gave the Beacons life in the top of the seventh with a hit by pitch and stolen base to put the tying run on second base. But after Perra walked with one out, the final two Beacon hitters popped up harmlessly to the Colonials.

In a result that should surprise nobody, Giants catcher Buster Posey has won the National League Most Valuable Player award, adding this coveted honor to his 2010 Rookie of the Year and 2012 Comeback Player of the Year honors.
Posey won with 27 first-place out of 32 members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. I was one of the voters, and I picked Posey first. Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers, who finished second, had three first-place votes. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina had two.
Posey is the first catcher to win the award since Johnny Bench in 1972.
"Man, it's tough to put into words," Posey said a minute after he heard the announcement on the MLB Network. "I think it's an accomplishment that is shared with the whole Giants organization. It starts with the top with great ownership, the front office putting great guys on the field. It's a great place to come play ball every day."
Speaking at the school at which his mom teaches, holding one of his twin girls while wife Kristen held the other, Posey said, "I'm very fortunate it's a great environment. We've seen past couple of years how passionate the fans are. I couldn't be more honored to have my name alongside the past players who won the honor."
Posey earned the 10th MVP award by a San Francisco Giant. Willie Mays won in 1965, Willie McCovey in 1969 and Kevin Mitchell in 1989. Barry Bonds won five, including four in a row from 2001-04. Jeff Kent won in 2000.
This year, Posey won the NL batting title with a .336 average and had the highest Wins Above Replacement figure in the league at 7.2 (baseball-reference.com version). Beyond the stats, Posey played a pivotal role in guiding the Giants to their second National League West title in three seasons and, ultimately, another World Series championship.
In particular, he stepped up his game after Melky Cabrera was suspended on Aug. 15 for the rest of the regular season. Posey's OPS of .973 after the Cabrera suspension was higher than his full-season OPS of .957.
Posey also quarterbacked the pitching staff, aside from Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito for most of the year. When he did not catch, Posey made 29 starts at first base and three as designated hitter. He played in 148 games in what amounted to his first full season in the majors, one year after going down with a horrific leg injury and missing the final four months of 2011.
Return here later for Posey's comments.

By JOHN FLOWERS
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House on Tuesday voted 77-63 in favor of a bill that would allow organic farmers to seek damages from the manufacturers of genetically modified seeds, if those products taint their crops through pollen drift or some other accidental event.
The controversial measure is far from a done deal, however. It now requires Senate approval, after which it would require the signature of Vermont Gov. James Douglas, a Middlebury Republican.
Douglas administration spokesman Jason Gibbs minced no words on Wednesday when asked whether the governor would support the House-passed measure.
MIDDLEBURY — Work crews soon will launch the first of what will be two of the busiest municipal construction seasons in Middlebury's history, with reconstruction of Seminary Street; replacement of water/sewer infrastructure along College Street; and installation of better signalization on Court Street highlighting this year's projects.
"The next few years will be kind of painful, but once we're done, we should be set for a couple of years,� Middlebury Director of Operations Dan Werner said.
Work is scheduled to get under way later this month, when Tom Vanacore & Co. of Bridport begins the last phase of masonry work on the Battell Bridge in downtown Middlebury. The company has already completed filling cracks between the large stone blocks that make up the bridge's three massive arches. Crews this spring will perform the same kind of work on the bridge railings on both sides of Main Street.
Of all the regrettable outcomes in the election of 2004, the fact that Congress has become ever more protective of the bumbling moves of the Bush administration will turn out to be one of the gravest errors in the Bush era. With deliberate intent, Congress — rather than pursuing the facts important to the formulation of policy — continues to allow the administration to classify documents and to deny worthy investigations that might contradict this administration's claims, assumptions and purported facts. Without good information, however, the nation continues a downward slide with serious consequences.
In the statewide political battle surrounding a tax hike on gasoline, the Republicans picked the easier side in the debate — affordability — while the House Democrats have to defend a more complex position: that the tax is a better mechanism to raise needed revenue for a host of reasons, none of which can be boiled down into a politically palatable sound bite.
But take a moment to inspect the issue. The first question is: Is the additional revenue the proposed gas tax would raise really needed?
The Vermont House approved a bill that would raise gasoline taxes by 4 cents per gallon (to 24 cents) and by 6 cents per gallon on diesel fuel (to 32 cents per gallon). The increased taxes would generate $26 million that would be used to leverage more than $100 million in federal highway funds — a bump in transportation funding approved by the U.S. Congress and Bush in this era of burgeoning deficits. (If you don't raise the needed state match, you lose out on the federal dole.)

NEW HAVEN — No one who has spent any time with Andy Lott would disagree that he is good natured, likeable, caring and constantly on the move. A local veterinarian who works only with horses, Lott has been practicing in Vermont since 1998. His practice now covers an enormous area spanning much of central Vermont — from Chittenden County and the Stowe area to Manchester — and into New Hampshire. Consequently, Lott often is on the go seven days a week, day and night, partly because he finds it impossible to refuse care to any of his clientele's stock.
For years, Lott, 36, has had his practice based in Warren, but he will soon be opening the first horse clinic of its kind in Addison County, and only the second such clinic in Vermont. Called the Valley Equine Clinic, it will be located on South Street in New Haven. The only other similar clinic in the state is in Milton.
MIDDLEBURY — The Gailer School will celebrate a special homecoming this year — in a literal sense. After an eight-year hiatus in Shelburne, the small private school this fall will return to an as-yet-undetermined location in Middlebury, where Gailer got its start some 17 years ago.
"We anticipate something (initially) of a temporary nature in the town we want to make our permanent home,� said Christine Plunkett, director of finance and operations for the Gailer School.
Plunkett declined to discuss the temporary sites the school is currently evaluating in Middlebury.
The story of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's fall from power to disgraced politician who had to pull out of his own House race for fear of embarrassment is a simple story of greed and power. What's amazing is that DeLay was able to hide his lust and his scheming, underhanded immoral ways under the guise of promoting "moral values.� Christians conservatives, in particular, who bought into DeLay's temple of misbegotten rhetoric need to carefully review how they were misled, lied to and taken advantage of, if they are to avoid future deceptions by politicians who have no qualms about lying to their constituents.
Gov. James Douglas created a stir late last week by suggesting he would veto the state budget if the Legislature does not include his college scholarship proposal. The governor says the 15 year, $175 million program is "vital to the state's economic future.� Where's the proof to back up such a claim? There isn't any.
Rather, the governor has a hunch that his program might keep a few Vermont high school graduates from moving out of state to attend college and, perhaps, they would then settle down and raise a family in Vermont. The program would pay up to 1,000 students a maximum of $5,000 a year to attend college in Vermont. What the state gets for its money is a three-year obligation from the student to work in the state after they graduate.

Old school 1983
Ill admit I'm a very competitive guy and have a seriously bad potty mouth, but Vottos constant use of the F bomb is really beginning to drive me nuts. I understand getting frustrated and occasionally dropping one but his job is performed in a public place with thousands of kids that look up to him watching. Maybe try to keep it to yourself or go to the clubhouse and go off. It looks insanely unprofessional.

For fans, the long wait is finally over. One of the most anticipated films of the year, �Les Miserables � opens in theaters on Christmas Day, the big-screen version of the musical based on the book by Victor Hugo. With the opening just days away, we take a look at the making of the movie.
Coming in cold? Here�s what you need to know. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, �Les Mis�rables � tells the story of e x-convict Jean Valjean who is hunted for decades by a ruthless policeman, Javert, after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine�s young daughter, Cosette , their lives are changed forever.
The musical is based on the historical novel by French author, Victor Hugo. The book was first published in 1862 and is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. The title of the book translates from French to English as �The Miserable.�
1. BY THE NUMBERS � The stage musical has been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe. It is still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 28th year.
2. THEY�RE NOT LIP SYNCHING � Every song in the movie was recorded live. The actors wore ear pieces so they could hear a live piano being played off stage to help them stay in key.
3. A FRESH SONG � Besides all the favorites from the musical, the original composer and lyricist have created a new song for the movie.
4. HAVEN�T YOU SEEN THEM BEFORE? Probably! Many people who made a name for themselves in the stage productions are seen in the movie in supporting roles. Colm Wilkinson, for example, who originated the role of Jean Valjean in both the New York and London productions, plays the Bishop of DIgne .
5. THE LES MIS DIET � Hugh Jackman shed 30 pounds and Anne Hathaway lost 25 to transform into their roles.
*Before Anne Hathaway landed the role of Fantine, Amy Adams , Jessica Biel , Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard were considered for the role. After working with Hathaway at an Academy Awards ceremony, Hugh Jackman lobbied for her to get the part. It turns out Hathaway might have been distined for the role � her mother, Kate McCauley Hathaway, played to part in the first U.S. tour of the musical.
*The competition for the role of Eponine was fierce. Hayden Panettiere , Scarlett Johansson , and Lea Michele all auditioned for the part and it was rumored that Taylor Swift had been cast. In end, the role went to stage actress Samantha Barks .
* Amanda Seyfried who plays Cossette said it took four months of auditioning to get the part and that the casting directors repeatedly told her she was not right for the film. �Harry Potter�s� Emma Watson was one of the many actresses who tired out for the role.
*For Eddie Redmayne , who plays Marius, the auditioning process wasn�t so tough. Using his iPhone , he recorded himself singing while he was on location shooting a movie in North Carolina.
Jean Valjean : �I stole a loaf of bread. My sister�s child was close to death and we were starving ��

A triathlete asked me some
time ago what he should do on downhill portions of a bike course. Should he
pedal hard, pedal easy or coast? That was a great question and one that also
applies to cyclists doing time trials. It does not apply to runners as their
speed is not significant enough to cause substantial drag.
On a bike as your speed
increases linearly (a straight line from, let's say, 20 to 25 mph), the power
required to go faster increases exponentially. This largely is because of drag.
The energy required to overcome air resistance (drag) is a function of land
speed to the third power. So while it is only a 25% increase in speed to go
from 20 to 25 mph, there is something like a 75% increase in the energy
required to achieve that additional 5 mph.
Why am I telling you this?
Because as you go down hill and your speed increases if you want to go even
faster than coasting allows the energy "expense" of the additional miles per
hour is going to cost you dearly.
The bottom line is an old adage which says that if you are riding on a fast portion of a course (down hill) ride easy; but if you are riding on a slow portion of a course (up hill) ride hard. So when riding fast on a downhill don't expend as much energy as when riding uphill. The longer the event, the more important this is. For a sprint-distance triathlon or a short time trial you can go much harder downhill than if it was an Ironman or a long TT.
The best advice I've seen for this came from Alan Couzens, an exercise physiologist and triathlon coach. He tried to nail it down for Ironman triathletes with his "50-40-30-20-10 rule." It goes like this (reprinted with permission of author)….
Coast at >50km/h
Pedal easy at >40km/h
Pedal steady at >30km/h
Pedal moderately hard at
Pedal hard at >10km/h
You can read Alan's blog on this topic for an in-depth discussion of how he came up with his rule by going here.
Alan's Ironman rule may not work for your race distance, but the concept remains the same: Conserve energy when the bike is going fast; expend energy when the bike is going slow. How much energy depends on how fast the bike is going, how long your race is and how fit you are. The less fit you are the more you will need to conserve energy on down hills. Based on this concept you can come up with your own rule for each race distance you do.
So the answer to the athlete's question in the first paragraph starts with (you guessed it) "it depends." It depends on speed, race duration and fitness.

What started out to be discussion over badly needed healthcare reform has been quickly transformed to an attempt to replay the November election.
One need look no further than the groups that support healthcare reform and those that oppose it.
Those that support it include every industry organization – insurance, hospitals, physicians, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Even patients represented by organizations like the AARP support reform. Finally most all the groups that supported President Obama in the last election also support healthcare reform.
The primary opposition is the Republican Party. Their motivation is obvious. It is an opportunity to regain the political advantage. They have gone so far as to say that defeating healthcare would be Obama's Waterloo. Their tactics are not much different than they were last November. Rather than engage in an honest debate about alternatives, they attack the President's trustworthiness. Unbiased sites like factcheck.org and politifact.org document the lies, but the polls show the strategy is working.
In lockstep with the Republican Party are Fox News, IBD, Rush Limbaugh, and other right wing media talking heads. Their motivation is simple – money. They feed on hate. They create an "us versus them" mob mentality and chuckle all the way to the bank. When Glen Beck claims that a mixed race man raised by his white grandparents is a racist, he gains viewers from those who fear African Americans. When Fox supports Tea Parties and disrupting public meetings, those who participate get on TV and Fox becomes the #1 news network. When Rush said he hopes the President fails, he becomes the voice of the Republican party. When he claims the President will mandate circumcision, his ratings go up. Reasonable people shake their heads, but the twenty percent or so of those who hate President Obama get all that more radicalized and empowered to act.
Those opposed to abortion have joined in. They continue to beat their drum has hard as they can. Fox and the Republican party give them a platform. The healthcare bills present another opportunity for this group to lobby to change the laws. Even though current government coverage allows payment for abortion in the case of rape, incest, or the maternal health; they object to even this coverage in any future bill.
Finally, there are the right wing special interest groups who have used the Obama presidency as an opportunity to increase their fund raising and membership. Gun sales have risen dramatically since November. People are now taking guns to the sites of Presidential speeches.
The only thing that all of these groups can agree on is their hate of our President. They are being manipulated by those who seek political or monetary gain. They gain comfort from those who share their views. They are not talking to those who disagree with them. It has gone so far that clergy are now encouraging their members to pray for Obama's death.
This has to stop.
Just as Bill O'Reilly bears responsibility for his part in the murder of the physician he called a "baby killer", those who preach hate for our President bear the responsibility for his wellbeing. They may not be the ones who pull the trigger, but they help load the gun when they demonize President Obama.
Those who encourage this behavior are trying to dismantle our democracy for their own personal gain. They should be ashamed of themselves.

|Novena to the Seven Gifts Of The Holy
Holy Spirit! Lord
of Light! From Your clear celestial height, Your pure
beaming radiance give!
Only one thing is important -- eternal salvation. Only one thing, therefore, is to be feared--sin? Sin is the result of ignorance, weakness, and indifference The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Light, of Strength, and of Love. With His sevenfold gifts He enlightens the mind, strengthens the will, and inflames the heart with love of God. To ensure our salvation we ought to invoke the Divine Spirit daily, for "The Spirit helpeth our infirmity. We know not what we should pray for as we ought. But the Spirit Himself asketh for us."
Almighty and eternal God, Who hast vouchsafed to regenerate us by water and the Holy Spirit, and hast given us forgiveness all sins, vouchsafe to send forth from heaven upon us your sevenfold Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and fortitude, the Spirit of Knowledge and Piety, and fill us with the Spirit of Holy Fear. Amen.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE.
SECOND DAY (Saturday, 6th Week of Easter)
Come. Father of the poor. Come, treasures which endure; Come, Light of all that live!
The Gift of Fear
The gift of Fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us dread nothing so much as to offend Him by sin. It is a fear that arises, not from the thought of hell, but from sentiments of reverence and filial submission to our heavenly Father. It is the fear that is the beginning of wisdom, detaching us from worldly pleasures that could in any way separate us from God. "They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."
Come, O blessed Spirit of Holy Fear, penetrate my inmost heart, that I may set you, my Lord and God, before my face forever, help me to shun all things that can offend You, and make me worthy to appear before the pure eyes of Your Divine Majesty in heaven, where You live and reign in the unity of the ever Blessed Trinity, God world without end. Amen.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE.
THIRD DAY (7th Sunday of Easter)
Thou, of all consolers best, Visiting the troubled breast, Dost refreshing peace bestow.
The Gift of Piety
The gift of Piety begets in our hearts a filial affection for God as our most loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect for His sake persons and things consecrated to Him, as well as those who are vested with His authority, His Blessed Mother and the Saints, the Church and its visible Head, our parents and superiors, our country and its rulers. He who is filled with the gift of Piety finds the practice of his religion, not a burdensome duty, but a delightful service. Where there is love, there is no labor.
Come, O Blessed Spirit of Piety, possess my heart. Enkindle therein such a love for God, that I may find satisfaction only in His service, and for His sake lovingly submit to all legitimate authority. Amen.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE.

The Orlando Magic have acquired two future second-round draft picks, cash considerations and the contract of forward Anthony Randolph from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for the draft rights to forward Milovan Rakovic.
The picks are for the 2015 and 2016 drafts. In addition, Orlando intends to waive Randolph.
The draft rights to Rakovic, who has played his entire professional career overseas, were acquired by Orlando along with cash considerations from Dallas in exchange for the draft rights to Reyshawn Terry on June 28, 2007.
The minor trade allows the Bulls to clear up some cap space.

If you use journaling as one of your course activities, consider moving it to an online version. There are many advantages this provides to both faculty and students.
1. Instructors and students alike do not need to struggle to decipher each other's handwriting.
2. Entries are completed in a timely manner throughout the entire semester as they are dated and time stamped upon submission.
3. No need to collect bulky binders and tote dozens of them across campus.
4. Feedback is provided directly to the student more quickly, building rapport between faculty and student.
5. Using the Discussion tool to create "private journals" provides a comprehensive collection of reflections for the entire semester. Students and faculty can view the progression of thought as new materials are contemplated.
E-journaling assignments also implement Chickering and Gamson's "Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education." For additional information read the my article E-journaling: Achieving Interactive Education Online. Click here
The Groups tool is used to create a "group" for every individual student, specifying a Discussion be created for each one. This becomes their private journal area to which only the student and the instructor have access.
For technical assistance in setting up private journals using the Discussion tool, view this video.

Two arrested for multiple charges after altercation with police
Police in Orange arrested Jason Ray Bowsher of West Lake, La. for multiple charges April 28, after an altercation with an officer.
According to a police report, Officer John Chris Arnold was off duty working security for the City of Orange Housing Authority. He reported he was parked at the Arthur Robinson Housing Complex located in the 1300 block of Fifth St. facing the roadway. Arnold then reportedly observed a silver 2011 Mitsubishi Galant traveling south at "an extremely high rate of speed." The officer reported he heard the roar of the vehicle's engine before he even saw it go past.
Arnold followed the vehicle and called out to the man who he saw exit the car that he needed to speak with him about his driving. The man had reportedly made contact with an unknown male at a residence in the 1100 to 1200 block of Fifth St. According to Arnold, the man replied that he was in a hurry and attempted to leave. He exited the yard, Arnold reported, and walked back toward his vehicle. The officer identified himself as a police man with OPD and requested the man's driver's license, according to the report. The man told the Arnold that his identification was inside his car, but that his name was James Guidry. As the man told his female passenger to get his ID out of her purse, Arnold stated he saw the woman try to hide two open cans of Budweiser beer and observed an open 12-pack in the back floorboard of the vehicle. She said she was unable to locate the man's driver's license.
The officer then reported that the man seemed "agitated and disturbed" and began walking toward the back of the car, scanning the area as he walked. Arnold stated he felt the man was attempting to hide his face and keeping his distance from the officer, which caused Arnold to believe the man would try to flee. He did not respond to commands from Arnold to put down his lit cigarette and put his hands on the trunk of the car, according to the report. The officer reported that he observed the man trying to conceal what looked to be a form of identification that he said belonged to his brother Jason.
At that time, Arnold reported, the man tried to get away by bolting around to the rear side of the vehicle. Arnold grabbed the man's right arm and a struggle ensued as the two men fell to the ground. Arnold reported he tried to cuff the subject and managed to get a single handcuff around his right wrist. The man refused to comply with the officer's order to and struggled, causing the handcuffs to cut into Arnold's hands, the report read. Then, the female passenger reportedly exited the vehicle and began to yell and curse at the officer who was still struggling with the man on the ground. Arnold indicated he told the woman to get back into the vehicle, which she refused. He reported she was "very belligerent" and disobeyed several of the officer's commands.
A second officer arrived and Arnold reported the police man told the subject he would be tased if continued to refuse compliance. As the second officer grabbed the subject by his legs, the man kicked out striking the officer in the groin area, according to Arnold. The officer then tased the subject, who grabbed him by the wrist, "multiple times" before finally gaining compliance and cuffing the left wrist of the struggling man. Arnold reported he received bruises and abrasions to both knees as a result of the struggle.
A search of the man revealed a crack pipe in his front right pocket, Arnold reported. The officer also reportedly found identification on the subject stating the man's name was actually 36-year-old Jason Bowsher, not James Guidry. Bowsher was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail. He was charged with evading/resisting arrest, assault on a peace officer, failure to identify-fugitive from justice, possession of drug paraphernalia and two confirmed outstanding warrants. After his arrest, police found two more warrants out of Vidor for which Bowsher was wanted. The female passenger, later identified as 33-year-old Catherine Renee Hidalgo of Louisiana, was arrested, taken to Orange County Jail, and charged with interfering with duties of a public servant, disorderly conduct and public intoxication.

Neighborhood House Upper Room
The Young Adult (YA) group is a self-led group for post-high school individuals that identify as young adults, (roughly in their 20s or 30s). Not being a youth, while also not always feeling like they have a handle on this whole "adulting" thing, this is an age range with unique emotional and spiritual needs. It is a time of growth and searching for one's place in life, balancing work, relationships, and many other responsibilities of being an adult.
The YA group is a safe place for people to explore their identities and be themselves in this self-discovery process, taking part in discussions or activities led by the group members.
Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 11:30 a.m. in the Upper Room of Neighborhood House. During the summer months if the weather permits, meet us on the porch of the house and we'll grab some brunch after service!
Please contact Lexi Schwede at firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.
