Dear Young Preacher
by Robert Earl Houston
This has been brewing in my spirit all day. I want to offer some advice to young preachers – I mean those who are teenagers/early 20s – who have been called to the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and commissioned to carry this glorious gospel into all the world with power.
Enjoy being young.
I was a "boy preacher" at 17 years of age, who received a call from the Lord during my senior year at Thomas Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon and the late Dr. Arthur Bernard Devers, I, was my pastor at that time. I missed out on some social interactions because "I's a preacher now" that at the age of 53 I regret.
I also dismissed out of hand some experiences, celebrations (i.e. my senior prom) and other activities because I was a minister. I felt that I should be "the preacher" all of the time and I actually lost the opportunity to be a Christian witness at some functions because I was not there.
Don't rush age.
Listen, age will catch up to you. You don't have to pretend and personify a "preacher's vocabulary" at 16. There's plenty of time to answer the phone, "Praise the Lord" or even have a voicemail that says "You've reached Minister XYZ, the associate minister of the ABC Church located at (address). I'm busy serving an awesome God, please leave your name, message, and this ministry will return your call at our convenience," when the truth of the matter is that you're in Algebra class, where you usually are around 11 a.m. in the morning on a Tuesday.
While you're young – enjoy life. I'm not saying don't be committed to your Pastor and Church, because you should be, that's granted. However, while you're young – enjoy life. Travel. Broaden your mind. Broaden your experiences. Take your time in life. Read – not just the Bible, but books that will stimulate and challenge your thought processes.
Don't make the mistake of other preachers who were called as a kid, got married (because you thought you had to in order to get a church) at 18, divorced at 19, drunk or high at 20, and then quit the ministry at 21.
Take a moment to start and develop a hobby while building a resume;
Take a moment to take in a movie while studying Pastoral Theology;
Learn how to talk english and learn slang too while learning Greek and Hebrew;
Learn how to say the words that may save you in the future – "no" and "not today" and learn how to inhale and exhale – it will save you stress in the future.
One of the worst things I did as a "boy preacher" was becoming Minister Robt. E. Houston (I learned to abbreviate Robert to Robt. from two people – my English/Journalism Teacher, Ruthann Hartley-Harris and Dr. Robt. H. "Bob" Wilson, Sr. of Dallas, Texas) before I learned who Robert Earl Houston was.
I worry about a generation of young preachers who call each other "Doc" and "Bishop" and "Apostles" and don't know the difference between preaching and performance. Do you know what Jesus called Peter? He called him Peter.
Young preacher you don't need armor bearers, ministry logo, a briefcase (and yes, I had one), scheduling service, business cards, websites, product, and all of the entrapments of ministry. How about becoming a great Christian and human being first? As one preacher of old once said, never build a skyscraper on a chicken coop.
Remember this – one day you'll grow up and you'll look back and see pictures of you in the pulpit, but where will be the pictures of you in the pool, playing pool, singing with your friends, eating a meal, wearing silly hats, and vacation venues or explorations or bike rides or just a photo of you smiling?
Happy (and busy) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Weekend
by Robert Earl Houston
If he were still alive, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have celebrated his 85th birthday. He and my mother are around the same age and who can imagine what life would have been had his life not been cut off by the bullet from an assassin.
This weekend I participated in two MLK celebrations.
The first one was in Frankfort which is sponsored by the Frankfort/Franklin County Ministerial Alliance. I have been a part of that body of leaders since my arrival here in 2009. I've been the Chair of this event for the past 3 occasions and hosted one at First Baptist Church. This year we were at the St. Paul United Methodist Church pastored by Rev. Donna Aros. In our Alliance, we welcome all Christian denominations and we've been led by Dr. Jackson Brewer, retired pastor of First United Methodist Church and frankly – the man for the job. FFCMA started ROSM (Resource Office of Social Ministries) that ministers to literally thousands through the years with assistance on life's necessities. We also supply prayer support as chaplains for the House and Senate of the Commonwealth.
Rev. Aros, Dr. Brewer, Rev. Glenn Spaulding of St. John AME Church serve as the program committee and this year (with great input from Rev. Aros) we expanded the setting. We invited our hispanic brothers and sisters to join in the celebration and one of the new pastors, Rev. Maikel Rojas Perez of Tabernaculo de Aviviamiento offered prayer in spanish after Rev. Jermaine Wilson, pastor of St. John AME Church, prayed in english.
Also this year we invited and received partnership with government officials. Mayor William May, Sheriff Pat Melton, State Representative Derrick Graham, Kentucky State University President Mary Sias, and Secretary of State, Alison Lundergan Grimes. Not only did they come to speak – they stayed through the entire service. Music was sweetly provided by the St. Paul UMC and St. John AME Choirs.
Dr. C.B. Akins was the guest speaker. Dr. Akins is the newly elected Moderator of the General Association of Baptists in Kentucky – the largest baptist body in Kentucky. Dr. Akins has been a great friend since my arrival here and I was delighted to invite him to be our guest speaker. Dr. Akins was off the hook! His sermon was from Exodus 3:1-14 and he used the words of Maya Angelou as his subject, "Arriving on a Nightmare, Praying for a Dream." It certainly challenged the audience and he was superb! We also awarded small grants to The Franklin County Women's Shelter and The BackPackSnack Program.
Today, I was the guest preacher for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service sponsored by the Greater Shelby County Ministerial Coalition (GSCMC) led by my friend, Dr. Kilen K. Gray. Services were held in the newly built sanctuary of the St. John United Methodist Church were Rev. Robert Marshall is the pastor. It was my first time preaching for this group but I've preached in several venues in Shelbyville and actually it's one of my favorite places to preach at in Kentucky. I've done revivals there and annual days there and this service was awesome.
I don't take invitations to preach lightly. I realize that there are thousands upon thousands who could have stood at that spot. I even realize there are thousands of thousands of preachers who are better prepared, have a longer resume than mine – however the Lord continues to favor me with invites like this. I'm grateful.
First, it literally, due to the new worship space was double in size. And every pew was filled. Secondly, the worship atmosphere was tremendous. The choir (a mass choir from throughout the city), the soloists, the presentations all lent themselves to a fabulous worship experience.
When I got up to preach, the Lord was kind. My text was based on Genesis 37:21 and my subject was "You Can't Kill My Dream." The Lord was so kind to the worship and I was received very warmly. I'm grateful for the brothers and sisters of the GSCMC.
Where Are The Black Pastoral Bloggers?
by Robert Earl Houston
Where art thou? . . . (Genesis )
I've been "blogging" off and on for several years. Recently, I discovered a way to combine several of my enterprises, namely "Homegoing of the Saints" which puts a spotlight on those African-American pastors who go home to be with the Lord; the "Vacant Church List" which was the first listing for African-American Baptist pulpits online (and I've done it without charge or entry fee for years); and then I've put out several notices, etc. and developed a fairly strong following. Since being on WordPress since late last year, I'm approaching 250,000 visits. God be praised.
In recent years other pastors have been regularly blogging – H.B. Charles, Jr. has an excellent blog and leans heavily on preaching themes. Dwight McKissic has an excellent blog as well and he "gets after" Southern Baptist Convention issues and is one of the leading SBC bloggers. Kip Banks, General Secretary of the Progressive National Baptist Convention recently started a blog and there are other brothers out there blogging – but to my knowledge, that number is less than 25. Shaun King's Shaun in the City is one of those mind-stretching blogs and he is very transparent in his church planting saga.
Where are the Black Pastoral Bloggers?
The purpose of this blog today is to encourage African-American Pastors to blog. Blogging is to participate in a form of social media that is more probative than a 140 word tweet or a quick flash on Facebook. It's not expensive – there are free sites available and many internet providers are available so you can personalize the site even more with your own name (which I recommend).
The diaspora of African-American pastors should be reflected in the blogosphere. Pastors who are in the rural parts of the nation, I believe, are just as significant in their struggles, triumphs, etc. as those who pastor mega-churches. Those pastors who came before us carried to the grave pieces of wit, wisdom and experience that I know would have been a blessing to this generation. You can participate.
I would love to post and re-post articles that I've discovered from those of African-American hue. I think that our experiences are just as real and profound as MacArthur, Stanley, Piper, Stetzer and others. Matter of fact, I ran a search for "best pastor blogs" and maybe 1 or 2 blogs of people of color were even mentioned.
It's because we have a story to tell that we're not telling. We have great minds, great talents, great experiences that should and need to be heard.
I'm not a mega pastor. My congregation (on roll) is around 700 members or so. We don't have one church in multiple locations. We have our issues like everyone else. But blogging for the pastor gives you a discipline in word construction, sentence structure, and analytical thinking that enhances your pulpit presentation. Trust me on that.
Just a word of warning – blog but don't vent. Never take to the national stage your local church issues. If "Sister Sally" is kicking your tail in business meeting, don't make her a national issue. If "Brother John" just cussed you out last week, don't make him a national celebrity. In other words, be careful what you blog about – if it's murky to you – it may leave room for a church member to misinterpret what you were trying to say.
I will make this promise to you – if you have a blog or know of a blog that will be helpful – I will make a link to it from my site – and if you have one, I hope you will do the same.
One final word – this is not to demean other races – that's not my purpose. My purpose in this fast-changing African-American led church, is to encourage pastors (not laypersons, not associates) but pastors to share their views.

Sunday Re-Cap, January 6, 2013
by Robert Earl Houston
This was one of the best Sundays I've ever experienced as Pastor of First Baptist Church here in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Before I discuss the service, I'm a worship leader. No doubt about it. I love to worship the Lord, but today, I re-introduced a song to the church and I believe they fell in love with the song as well. It's an old Andraé Crouch hit, "Jesus Is The Answer." The lyrics are simple yet profound:
"Jesus is the answer | For the world today | Above Him there's no other | Jesus is the Way!
Jesus is the answer | For the world today | Above Him there's no other | Jesus is the way!"
I've been dropping tears all day about that song. I don't know why but that song has really moved me today – not with sadness, but with an awesome joy.
We had one of the largest crowds today that I've seen at the 8 a.m. service. 11 a.m. service was very well attended. The Magnificent Mass Choir sang and we recognized birthdays as we normally do on the first Sundays. Today is the start of Loyalty Month, where we ask every member to "check in" during the month of January.
By the way, I love me some FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH!
The word was the beginning of our new sermon series, "Construction Zone" which coincides with the remodeling of the church. Today's sermon was from Philippians 3:12-13, where Paul emphasis is on his pursuit of relationship with Christ and that he must now put things behind him and press toward the mark." God was kind to the preaching moments.
We received two adults into the fellowship of First Baptist Church.
I met with our Associate Ministers this evening at 5 p.m.
- The Baltimore Ravens looked playoff-ready and took out the Indianapolis Colts, 24-9.
– The Houston Texas (as expected) defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 19-13.
– Seattle Seahawks beat Washington and RG3 (knee injury), 24-14.
– Green Bay Packers easily handled the Minnesota Vikings, 24-10.

Preparing for Sunday
by Robert Earl Houston
SOMEWHERE OVER TENNESSEE – I'm in mid-flight preparing to land in Louisville in about 30 minutes. My body is really tired. My plane was delayed for two hours (it was coming from the west coast and was delayed from both Orange County, CA and San Francisco, CA.
But my heart is not tired, but excited about Sunday. If there was ever a time I need a good, solid word from The Lord, it's tomorrow. God is providential. He knew everything this week and how everything would turn out and that I was not scheduled to preach in the morning – it's Ushers Day and we have to capable speakers – Rev. Anna Jones and Dr. Cheryl Walker.
There is a time when the preacher who preaches needs to be preached to. My spiritual battery is admittedly very low – but not so low that it couldn't receive a jump or a jolt. I come to the worship tomorrow weary, beat-down, and without going into a lot of detail, disappointed. But this is what Sundays in worship are for – to hear a word from The Lord.
I'm in need for a word badly. You won't hear too many pastors say this, but i will – I couldn't preach tomorrow if i could – i'm too pained, I'm too damaged, and I need to be ministered to. No pastor should show up just for the sake of preaching, when he's troubled in spirit of his or her own self.
I've stood in times of divorce, church issues, death in my family, and other issues – but this week I just can't do it. And I'm believing God that after hearing two dynamic sermons, I'll be ready to get back to living again.
As of now, I just want to hear a preached word!

My Response To An Invitation to Preach at My Church
I wanted to share a response to a letter that I received from a young minister. It's telling on a multiplicity of levels and I hope this will help someone who is in ministry and eager to get to the top.
"Hello anointed Leader and Mighty Man of God. Pastor Houston, Thank you so kindly for accepting my Linkedin connection. I trust that you're being blessed more abundantly. After you peruse my ministerial experience, I'm humbly asking for an opportunity to minister at First Baptist Church. Please consider an SERVICE, Perhaps a WEDNESDAY MID-WEEK SERVICE! I'll pay my airfare to Frankfort to lift the faith of the believers. You can view my ministry on: YOUTUBE. Pastor Houston, Please grant this sincere request, just 3 NIGHTS! Feel free to call me ."
In this age of social media it's important for us to understand that pastors needs to be firm in how they approach this or any invitation. This is my response:
"Thank you for your letter, but I am terribly saddened by it. I joined LinkedIn to keep in contact with preaching and professional colleagues across the country and in some cases, around the world. However, to receive a chain letter from a minister frankly deeply disturbs me about not only the preacher but the role of LinkedIn/Social Ministry and the future of ministerial relationships.
First, I would never and let me underscore never invite myself, whether it was in person, by letter, or internet to another man or woman's church or pulpit. I have been in ministry, preaching around the nation, and I have NEVER asked for a preaching engagement and I have NEVER allowed anyone who asked for a preaching engagement to stand for me. Your letter is disturbing for that reason alone.Secondly, it's a form letter. Several pastors that I know on LinkedIn have received the exact same letter and frankly, how in the world would you know what my people, who the Holy Spirit have assigned me to, need a Wednesday Mid-Week Service when we don't even have a Wednesday Mid-Week Service and we don't even have an airport in Frankfort – which says to me, frankly, you don't care about my people or this community, you care about making a name.
Also, I don't know ONE THING ABOUT YOU. If you walked past me in DFW airport, I still wouldn't know who you are. And in this era of sexual shenanigans, misuse of funds, etc., a YouTube clip does not equal an endorsement. Anybody can put a YouTube clip up and it does not mean MOST PASTORS would let you walk in the door and I'm further insulted because my church is not cheap and we always provide for OUR GUESTS.
Needless to say, this will be the last communication between us. I'm unfriending or de-linking us and I pray that you will at least consider this response in your future interaction and the form letter method needs to be reconsidered."
Going . . . Going . . . Gone
I wish that preaching was akin to other professions. Where you serve 20, 25, 30 years and then live another 20, 25, 30 years after retirement. You get to see your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren grow up. Unfortunately that is rarely the case.
The problem is that many pastors are in need of serious rest, retreat and revival. And no, I don't mean going to a worship service – I mean making the time, taking the time and finding the time to make sure that the body and the mind rests.
My pastor, Minister Barton Elliott Harris, taught me something while at Westwood – the importance of the pastor getting rest. You cannot be fully used of God in the pulpit, when you bring to the pulpit a half-empty shell or a leaking vessel.
Scripture's description, "come apart" is a great definition for what a pastor needs to do. I've learned that conventions, conferences, and learning experiences cannot be catalogued as rest. That's labor. That's intensive. That's challenge. A pastor needs some time (every weekly) when the membership knows "this is my sacred day of rest and it must be honored."
At my church where I serve it's printed every week "Pastor's Sabbatical Day of Rest" and it's every Thursday. For the most part, I don't take calls, I don't do appointments, I don't do meetings unless it is of life or death consequence. I'm a 24 hour a day on-call professional who needs at least one day to himself to get revived. The pressures of ministry are great and when you have a week of visitation, preaching, counseling, planning, denominational work, etc., you need some time alone.
I'm thankful for those who understand the necessity for this. I go to the movies. I go travel. I hang out. I find some water. I go to the country side. I go to the big city. I find a plan where I can unravel and relax.
My journeys on vacation have taken me to Gloucester, Mass., Orlando, Fl., Louisville, KY, Chattanooga, TN, the Smokey Mountains, Palm Springs, Cal., Napa Valley, Cal., Chicago, IL, Washington, DC., Baltimore, MD, Eastern Shore, Galveston, TX., New Orleans, LA, and other places.
When I come back, it's always as a refreshed preacher, looking forward/can't wait to hit the pulpit and proclaim after some much needed rest and reflection.
Brother or Sister Pastor who are reading this – make sure you take some time to rest before you find yourself going, going, and then gone.

Good song, but too short. Keep up the good work man.

Theres no "remember the name" remixes on newgrounds so its very cool to listen to no matter the length or the quality. Fort Minor if someone else didn't say that already is the band.

Leading a spirited discussion of ideas and their affect on the economy, the Winter Park Institute was honored to host social justice activist and trade union organizer Robert Muehlenkamp on February 11.
Described as a change master, Muehlenkamp has spent his life working on behalf of people. His lecture titled, "The Economy is Not Like the Weather: Economic and Political Reality," focused on people, ideas and their relationships to the economy. Sharing stories of economic strife, Rollins students discussed how the current economic situation has affected the people they know and the world they live in, painting a picture of what Muehlenkamp described as "some very serious consequences" as a result of some very serious ideas.
Throughout his lecture, Muehlenkamp cited 35 years of data supporting his belief in the failure of current economic ideology to create an economy working for all. "For the first time in 35 years, we can have a debate because the current system hasn't been working. A task for our new president will be to explain economic ideology to the masses and to label it as such," said Muehlenkamp.
Student Stephanie Fuchs (Class of 2012) came to the lecture because she wanted to learn about the economy. "Tonight I learned not only how the economy works, but also what we can do to turn it around," Fuchs said.

Or trying to. Like he tried last year to protect No. 1 by playing despite mono/lack of training/bad form/bad back. He tried to play himself into form instead of taking a break and regroup.

Which was a panic-mode thing to do, as I'm afraid it is now. This is risky, if he loses early it could further destroy confidence (and he could still lose No. 2). He obviously hopes for some sudden miracle of great form, but it's a high-risk game.

Though, this last move is consistent with all his recent behavior: dramatic, unpredictable, sudden, unexpected. No steady planning there.

9190 Leduc (Suite 210)
Brossard, Québec
Bus: RTL 14, 35, 39, 135
Visit: August 4, 2013
Quartier Dix30 has become the cornerstone of the city of Brossard. In that area of town, you can find nearly anything and everything. That is more than true when it comes to the world of eating. As of three months ago, you couldn't quite find any quality Greek food. That has now changed since there is a place that is known as Skara.
1862 Sainte-Catherine O.
Montreal, Quebec
Metro: Guy-Concordia, Atwater
Bus: STM 15, 24, 57, 63, 66, 90, 104, 108, 138, 144, 165, 166, 427, 435
Visit: February 21, 2013
In Montreal, there is a list of the essential go-to spots that you have to check off of your list to officially call yourself a resident of this city. They vary from different kinds of cuisine, budget criteria, and just sheer levels of awesomeness. One of the places that I've been itching to go to in the last few years is called Kazu. You can ask just about anyone in Montreal and they'll tell you that this is the place to go.
43 de la Gauchetiere E.
Montreal, Quebec
Metro: Place d'Armes
Bus: STM 55, 80, 129, 150, 410, 427, 430, 435, 747
Visit: July 12, 2012
My half-Chinese heritage demands that I scour the island for each and every restaurant that does my native cuisine justice. My purpose for my visit to Mon Nan is not to show what everybody already knows, but to shed light on another aspect that doesn't get too much play. There are some pretty decent, well-known restaurants in Montreal where you can get lunch for well under 10 dollars and Mon Nan is one of them.
405 Sherbrooke Est
Montreal, Quebec
Metro: Sherbrooke
Bus: STM 24, 30, 144, 427
Visit: June 19, 2011
My father's side of the family has a tradition on each and every Father's day. Usually, we'd go to a very specific restaurant for the last 40 years. So, when I heard we were going to this relative unknown, my interest was somewhat peaked. This restaurant is so new (in my opinion), that it can't even be found on any internet directory. The service seemed very tentative. You could tell by the way they carried out the soup to the various tables. The fact that there were 2 separate entrances made the greeting process quite awkward. The restaurant was about 3/4s full by the time we left.
For the majority of the dishes, I'll try my best to identify them. When I go to a Chinese restaurant, I go under a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. That's mostly because I don't want to find out what I'm putting in my mouth.
This tasted a lot like a chicken soup. I didn't really like the consistency.
Bowl of Rice
Up until today, I have never seen lobster this big. Also, the portions were quite huge, not only for this dish, but for a lot of the others. Unfortunately, there wasn't much taste, as the iconic lobster sauce was nowhere in sight.
Lobster Piece
Just for a reference point.
General Tao Chicken
Though the pieces look big and you're given a lot of it, I found the dish to lack in taste. Once you get over the heat, there isn't much to it, compared to other similar dishes I've tried.
Frog Legs
This is a regular dish that the family orders. I didn't touch it today and I will never touch it ever. I don't like the idea of eating or touching frog.
"Fish Pot"
This dish contains your various fish and shrimp in what looks like an edible bowl. The fish was very acceptable and the shrimp was quite large. The items surrounding the "bowl" are scallop pieces. I do not like scallop, therefore I do not touch.
"Mystery Dish"
I'm calling this the mystery dish because I was told one thing and it tasted like something else. I will not argue with the taste whatsoever, because I was one of the better dishes. But, when you tell me this is chicken and it tastes like fish, something has got to give.
Pork Chops
This dish was one of the decent ones. Though, I didn't exactly like having to work around the bones. Then again, when you eat this, bones are a given.
This dish really frustrated me. It wasn't because of taste, but because the tofu pieces just kept on falling apart. As the pieces got smaller, they because so much harder to pick up with chop sticks. Therefore, any appreciation for the dish was completely lost in the multiple attempts in trying to pick them up.
Beef and Greens
This dish is as simple as it looks. The beef taste quite good and the greens were just like anything you could get in any restaurant.
I don't know what this is. This is the second time in three days that I have seen this unfortunate soup dessert. I was told that it was made with beans and it was supposed to be sweet. I managed two sips before giving up. I usually finish everything put in front of me. For this, I knew better.
2774 Salaberry
Galeries Normandie
Montreal, Quebec
Bus: STM 164, 180
Train: Du Ruisseau
Visit: June 15, 2011
Being only half-Chinese, I do have some stock when it comes to Chinese food. One of my colleagues asked me to come with them to this restaurant, so I obliged, only because the meal was going to be paid for. I found the service to be quite cold. There were 2 servers who were more concerned about the rush than anything else. I also really despise eating in an open mall setting like this.
Won Ton Soup
Tried: June 15, 2011
This is the same won ton soup you can get at any Tiki Ming in Montreal. This is not the best Won Ton soup you'll ever get either. What this dish looks like is exactly 6 won ton pieces in water, with some onions as decoration. The pieces had no taste and I regretted doing this to myself. So, no change in the best won ton in Montreal choice here.
Shrimp Noodles
Tried: June 15, 2011
This dish contains a cornucopia of various ingredients, mainly featuring shrimp. First of all, I was surprised by the amount of food on this dish. I was doubting whether or not I could finish it. Even though I did finish, I wasn't blown away or anything. The shrimp weren't really of high quality. The taste was fine, but nothing spectacular.

I feel sorry for marriage counselors
Let me tell you about a couple I know. They are both marriage counselors. As a matter of fact they are well-known, even famous. Let's call them Mark and Sherry. Mark and Sherry have spent their whole adult lives focused on helping couples. They are very dedicated and highly intelligent people. I studied their work years ago and found it useful, except… I had the same problem Mark and Sherry have. People don't end up with happy marriages using their methods.
People just keep "working on" their marriages. People keep going to seminars, reading books, going to therapy. And their marriages don't really get better. Not permanently. Not deeply. Now Mark and Sherry are as good as the field of counseling has to offer. And they are 1,000 times better at what they do than most. But try as they might, most of the couples they work with don't become truly happy. This isn't their fault. It isn't Mark and Sherry's fault either.

Entrepreneurs often underestimate how long it can take to get paid. Whatever the reason for late payments, it's another headache taking your focus away from what you really love about your business. Here are some simple strategies you can adopt to help encourage timely payment and even speed up the process.
If you want to know what's bugging the average small business owner, ask for his or her opinion about the credit card processing fees. Every time you buy something with a credit card, it costs the merchant. And here's the rub: Visa and MasterCard rules say that merchants must accept all the cards within their brand. That isn't fair, and consumers are paying the price for premium cards. Instead of charging the cardholders a bit more, merchants are forced to raise their prices on everyone to make up the difference.

MS: Promising therapies take new approaches
NeuroVax, administered by intramuscular injection, contains a combination of three T-cell receptor (TCR) peptides that represent immunogenic regions from TCRs that are expressed by the pathogenic T-cells in MS patients. The three peptides are BV5S2, BV6S5, and BV13S1. The firm has also developed a stable formulation of these three peptides (Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant) that, when injected, elicited a strong immune response in over 90% of the MS patients who received it.

Nobody does it better: This annual feature salutes independent pharmacies and the many special services they provide
Going the extra mile. Bending over backwards to serve. That's what sets some independent pharmacies apart. To learn who these standouts are, Drug Topics once again invited wholesalers across the United States to nominate their independent pharmacy customers that excel in four categories.
New product newswire: October 10, 2006
According to the company, this is the first FDA-approved orally disintegrating tablet form of prednisolone. The drug is used primarily for acute exacerbations of asthma in children and is also indicated for the control of severe, persistent asthma and to reduce the inflammation associated with various medical conditions, including arthritis and cancer. The drug will be marketed by Atlanta-based Alliant Pharmaceuticals.
Consumers happy with pharmacy experience
For the fifth consecutive year, consumer satisfaction with pharmacies has risen, according to the 2006 Pharmacy Satisfaction Digest. Ninety-eight percent of respondents reported that they were either highly satisfied or satisfied with their pharmacy, up from 95% in 2002. Moreover, the number of respondents indicating that they were highly satisfied rose to 58%, a gain of 5% over the 2005 results and 13% higher than the 2002 results.

An iPad is almost useless if you can't score a WiFi connection. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but a big part of the iPad's usability is routed in its ability to surf the web as well as stream movies and music from the Net. So if you didn't invest in a 3G model you're sh*t out of luck, especially in hotel rooms, where often they only provide a wired connection.
The Belkin F9K1107 Wireless Dual-Band Travel Router is designed to be taken on the road and more importantly stuffed inside a bag. There is no mention of its actual measurements, but Belkin is tossing in a a carrying case that holds the plug and some additional cords. Like many of today's full sized routers it supports WiFi b/g/n and simultaneous dual band mode. There is also the usual assortment of security protocols and even a push button WPS setup. So at the end of the day it's a full featured router, though it lacks the additional Ethernet ports or a USB port for sharing storage devices on the network. It's just too bad there isn't a built-in battery.
No word on availability, but it will retail for $79.99.

Hamas wins Russian support to counter Fatah's US backing
Mesha' Al convinces moscow to veto Washington's shuttle diplomacy
- Image Credit: APAP
- Hamas leader Khalid Mesha'al (left) with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov prior to their meeting in Moscow on Monday.
Damascus : On the surface, Khalid Mesha'al's Moscow visit focused on Palestinian reconciliation efforts, the peace process and persuading the Russians into playing a more active role in both portfolios.
On a deeper level, however, it relates to the tug-of-war between Hamas and Fatah on whether or not to jumpstart peace talks with Israel, under the auspices of the United States.
While Mesha'al was walking the red carpet in Moscow, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was in Tokyo, where along with his foreign minister Riad Al Maliki, he accepted a US proposal for indirect shuttle diplomacy between the Palestinians and Israel.
Mesha'al, aware beforehand of Abbas' desire to accept the American offer, lobbied with the Russians into backing a veto of such talks.
War leadership
"I do not expect any progress in peace talks on the Palestinian, Syrian [issues] or any other direction of the Middle East settlement as the Israeli leadership is [a] leadership of war, aggression and occupation, rather than a leadership taking a stand for peace," he said.
Mesha'al timed his visit to Moscow, which was riddled with criticism for the United States, to coincide with Abbas' decision to say 'yes' to Washington.
He sought the legitimacy of backing from a heavyweight country like Russia to avoid being confined to traditional allies like Syria, Iran, and Qatar.
For his part, Abbas said that he has no pre-conditions for peace talks, which have been on hold since the 2008 Israeli war on Gaza.
However, Abbas noted that he expects "clarifications" from President Barack Obama's Middle East envoy George Mitchell next week, as to the point of reference in any future talks.
Mesha'al noted, however, that Mitchell's visit will aim solely at pressuring Abbas into severing any reconciliation talks with Hamas.
The Hamas chief said that if Abbas remained adamant, then the United States would stop all assistance to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).
Hamas believes that the US sponsored peace talks should only start after reconciliation is achieved between Fatah and Hamas, and after the Israel lifts its blockade on Gaza.
Mesha'al's visit has already raised eyebrows in Israel, which sent a note of protest to Moscow.
According to the Hamas leader, Moscow is backing away from US terminology that labels his group a "terrorist" organisation and willing to play a more active role in the peace process, applying adequate pressure on Israel to freeze colonies and return to the negotiating table.
In late 2009, Hamas Prime Minister Esmail Haniyah tried to reach out to the United States when he received a delegation of American doctors in Gaza.
Haniyah said Hamas welcomed a more active US role in the peace process, expressing faith in the Obama administration.
This was shortly after release of the Goldstone Report in September when everybody believed that Abbas' days in power were numbered.
Hamas tried to project itself as an alternate interlocutor to Abbas — as a strong and grassroots organisation with whom Obama could engage and do business with.
Hamas was willing to accept the borders of 1967, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the mediating role of the great powers.
In return it wanted to be treated with respect as the legitimate representative of the Palestinians in Gaza.
Vital component
While the United States could not grant that blanket, Moscow certainly could, seeing Hamas as a vital component for the upcoming peace conference it plans to hold in Russia.
Mesha'al made it clear that he does not oppose returning to the peace process in principle, especially if Hamas were the one negotiating on behalf of the Palestinians, but does not accept it so long as Gaza is besieged and divisions are rife between his camp and Fatah.
He fully understands that in order for Hamas to get legitimate status once again as leader of the Palestinian state, it needs presidential and parliamentary elections.
Once these elections take place, and while marketing its new attitude regarding peace talks, the fortunes of Hamas in the international community, having learned from the mistakes of 2006, will be reversed.

Puppies of all sizes and breeds will bowl over each other for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet this Sunday at 3 p.m.
The network highlights rescue pups in need of homes on the special that keeps its audience howling.
A casting call is sent to nonprofit rescues, and this year a local puppy is one of the star players. Aurora is a liver-spotted Dalmatian from Middletown.
Ariel O'Brien is part of a dog rescue group that cares for Aurora and knew she would be a great match. "They have to be 12 weeks old by Oct. 3, which is when the taping is done in New York City," said O'Brien.
O'Brien sent a picture, and the pup got picked! "I think it was a great honor when you have several thousand rescues, and maybe 200 dogs were in the puppy bowl," O'Brien said.
"She's a very, very smart little girl." Aurora is also a first for the Puppy Bowl: "She is the only deaf dog that has ever performed at puppy bowl," said O'Brien.
The Spotted Dog Deaf Dalmatian Rescue that cares for Aurora wants people to know this about deaf dogs: They are just as smart as hearing dogs.
"We don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but we did get some sideline secrets," added O'Brien. "I would say she was probably a wide receiver. She's very quick and very inquisitive and wasn't afraid of any of the other dogs. [She] wasn't afraid [to] save a play if she needed to."
When asked if Aurora is a diva... "Absolutely, she's most definitely is a diva, yes," responded O'Brien.
Aurora is training to be a therapy dog. Any family that is considering adopting her would have to be willing to allow her to serve as a therapy dog. If you would like to help the Spotted Dog Deaf Dalmatian Rescue, you can check out the website HERE.

After being hit hard by two storms in just a few months, many Atlantic City business owners say 2012 will not be remembered as a good financial year, but as the city gets ready to ring in a new year, they hope better times are ahead.
Since Friday the economic climate has already started to heat up as tourists made their way into the city.
Just ask Rotasha Jackson, the General Manager of "It's Sugar". She says the rush of customers visiting the city for concerts and hip nights clubs is already boosting her business.
"We are gearing up for all the customers that are coming down to welcome the New Year in Atlantic City, and down on the boardwalk," said Jackson.
And if you are worried about being lost amid the sea of people flocking to the casinos, "Denim Habit" has an idea for many of its customers coming in for the big day.
"Our store carries a lot of on going trends, we have a lot of wax coated pants, and a lot of awesome dresses," said "Denim Habit" store manager, Kate Facenda.
Almost all of which are expected to fly off the shelves just hours before the clock strikes twelve.
And perhaps the sweetest part of all is the unwavering support in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
"I think it's just so necessary that everyone is just literally pulling together and you know what we were hit with a major disaster like Sandy. But we all came together and put it behind us," said Jackson.
Who hopes the recovery from Sandy continues not just for her store but all of Atlantic City in what she expects to be a year to remember.

Boustany Says VA Clinics For Acadiana Soon To Be Reality [Audio]
Better access to health care for Acadiana's veterans could be a reality very soon. Congress is expected to vote this week to authorize VA clinics for Lafayette and Lake Charles.
Better access to health care for Acadiana's veterans could be a reality very soon. Congress is expected to vote this week to authorize VA clinics for Lafayette and Lake Charles.
With Thursday's vote by his peers, Louisiana's First Congressional District Representative Steve Scalise has been elected to the third-highest ranking position in U.S. House leadership.
Louisiana Republican Charles Boustany was disappointed in the President's State of the Union address last night.
Today, the IRS released to the Committee another parody video made with taxpayer dollars. This time, the video is a parody of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice." Based on information provided by the IRS, the cost of the video was approximately $10,000 and was made to be shown at an IRS Small Business/Self-Employed Division Conference.
Military action in Syria, the consequences of doing or not doing anything will have an effect on the United States. What do you think? We have the contact information for Acadiana's congressional delegation available for your right here.
Boustany says he understands the concerns about the NSA, but he doesn't believe this amendment was the best way to handle those concerns.
Read the tweet sent out by Gov. Jindal that is getting national attention.
U.S. Senator David Vitter also weighs in on these issues.
Two town halls, one in Abbeville and the other in Crowley, will be held by Lafayette Congressman Charles Boustany on Monday, July 1st.
Ousted acting IRS chief Steven Miller testified on Friday before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee about the scandal involving the agency, which admitted to targeting conservative, TEA Party and religious groups for audits.

The Amazing Race 15: Calculators Still Come in Handy
- Monday, October 26, 2009
I still have my little solar-powered pocket calculator that I've had since college. But I haven't used it in a while.
And had I been a contestant on this season of The Amazing Race, I doubt that I would have thought about packing it in my bag either. But Team Bro sure did, and it pretty much saved their—and Team Poker's—bacon this week.
Let's start in the middle, and then I'll backtrack …
Still at the resort in Dubai (where last week's fifth pit stop left them), once Team Bro (Sam and Dan) got to a Detour where they had to choose between tasks involving one of two materials (glass or gold), both they and Team Poker chose gold.
Team Bro got to the jewelry/gold store first, where they had to weigh exactly $500,000 in gold. But first, they had to figure out the formula for how much it would weigh depending on the price per ounce; the gold exchange rate was displayed on a large monitor in the store and changed about every minute or so. Team Bro then whipped out their handy-dandy calculator that they said they had thrown in when packing for the race—almost as an afterthought. It was just the little-technology-that-could they needed to make up time and surge ahead.
Team Poker (Maria and Tiffany) arrived at the store at about the same time as Team Bro and knew immediately how to figure out the formula. Because of the two team's continuing alliance (yes, it's still working for them!), Team Poker asked for the calculator and said they'd figure it out and then would tell Team Bro the figure. Once the amount of gold was determined, each team had to pile up gold pieces onto their scales until they reached the right amount and then ring the bell for the shopkeeper-attendant to verify the amount and give them the next clue.
Both teams passed, got their next clues, zipped down a giant water slide, ran on the beach like Chariots of Fire (no slo-mo, but still) and ended up in second and third places at the final pit stop.
Now, let's go back to the beginning and flesh out the rest of this most recent episode …
Since they came in first place last week, Team All American (Meghan & Cheyne) left the resort first and received the clue to choose a locked brief case and then taxi to a marina. Once there, a Road Block involved rowing an inflatable dinghy to a yacht where a "sheik" would hand them their next clue: a watch in a gift box. Teams then would have to row back to the dock and figure out that the time set on the face of the watch (8:35) was the combination to unlock the brief case.
Team All American flew through all of these challenges, and all of the other teams also completed the work with relative ease. Except for Team Globetrotter (Herbert and Nathaniel). For some reason, Nathaniel could not figure this out—he got the "8" but interpreted the second number as the hour ("7") instead of as the minutes ("35"). As he struggled and struggled to try and figure out what the combination on the briefcase should be, he and Herbert watched all of the other teams find success and pass them up. Finally it clicked (in his mind and in the lock on the case), and Team Globetrotter was on their way to try to make up some serious time and avoid being eliminated.
The clue found inside the briefcase then took the teams to Abra Station in Dubai where they encountered the Detour of choosing between the materials. Team Jungle Fever (Brian and Ericka) tried going for the gold first, gave up and then switched to glass. All of the other teams (except for the previously mentioned Team Bro, Team Poker and then later on Team Globetrotter) went for the glass.
The glass challenge required teams to go to a spice market and choose a crate full of the various parts of Middle Eastern smoking pipes (called hookahs). They had to assemble twelve of them (exactly to scale and matching the models that were already assembled displayed in front of them) before getting the next clue. Each pot looked differently, and there were lots of little bits and colored parts and pieces that went into building each one—so this was no easy task by any stretch.
Once the teams finished assembly and received approval that they had built their hookahs correctly, they were given clues to go to The Atlantis Resort (still in Dubai) where they had to "take a leap of faith" to receive their next clue.
If you watched last week, then you know it's the giant water slide. We're talking a six-story drop at a nearly 90-degree angle. And then sliding through an enclosed tube in the middle of a shark-infested tank before reaching the pool at the bottom. Both members of each team had to participate in this challenge. Upon splash landing, they received the final clue which told them to search the resort grounds for Dolphin Bay Beach where they would find the last pit stop and need to race for the check in-mat with host Phil Keoghan.
In the end, Team Globetrotter did make up their time. But just barely, though, thanks to Team Music City (Mika and Canaan) who pretty much gave sixth place away.
Because of her fear of heights, Mika just couldn't make herself go down the slide. From acting like a child, crying and stomping her feet ("Don't tell me what to do!" "I hate my life right now." "I caaaaan't do it!") to Canaan's ultimate acceptance of her actions and forgiveness of her fear ("There's freedom in forgiveness."), it was an interesting sequence of events and emotions to watch. I have to hand it to Canaan, though, for his semi-patience (alright, he did get a little testy with Mika at the water slide) and then his compassion upon reaching the check-in mat and being eliminated, when he realized it could have very easily been him gripped by fear in a situation like this.
So that leaves the current standings as follows:
1st Place: Meghan and Cheyne (Team All American)
2nd Place: Maria and Tiffany (Team Poker)
3rd Place: Sam and Dan (Team Bro)
4th Place: Brian and Ericka (Team Jungle Fever)
5th Place: Gary and Matt (Team Father & Son)
6th Place: Herbert and Nathaniel (Team Globetrotter)
Next week, we learned from the teaser that "Ericka breaks down and the Globetrotters get down." No mention was made of location, but due to the fact that several of the teams were shown wearing jackets, I'm thinking it's going to be somewhere a little colder than Dubai.
Until then, keep it simply amazing and keep watching The Amazing Race. See you next week!
The Amazing Race airs on CBS on Sunday nights at 8/7 Central. Plan your schedule accordingly.

College Access Project
The Ayers Institute has partnered with the Tennessee College Access and Success Network to produce an innovative professional learning tool for any college access professional. We know college access mentoring requires specific skills and knowledge that are rarely, if ever, formally taught. Our goal is to build a cohort of college access leaders across the state, equipped with the tools to be agents of change in their schools and communities.
Focusing also on the non-academic factors of entering college, this course is a unique approach to training professionals, who work with young people, and high school counselors alike. Each strand is facilitated and discussion based to allow participants to share ideas and gain insights into the various environments in which college access takes place. The course is offered in five learning strands:
View the CAP 2014 Content and Schedule here.
Register here.
Creating a College-going Culture
Ethics of College Access Counseling
Working with Young People
The College Admissions Process
Paying for College
The strands will be begin in January, running in order all year long. Sign up for any combination of strands, but the College Access Coach title will only be given to participants that complete all five strands. The course is $875, or $175 a strand. Districts or organizations, who would like to register 20 or more participants per strand, will receive a discount and should contact the Ayers Institute directly to register.
TASL credit is available for all strands. Graduate credit is also available upon the completion of all five strands. Three graduate credit hours from Lipscomb University can be transcripted for $1000. Please contact the Ayers Institute directly to complete this process.

Topic - La Sportiva Katanas
Zumoid on 18 Feb 2013
Not sure where the best place to post this is, but I thought I'd try here.
I bought brand new La Sportiva Katanas in November, used them a couple of times indoors before Christmas and once outdoors on sandstone. Since January, I've climbed about twice a week for a couple of hours each session, but I wouldn't say it's been particularly intensive (I consistently climb 6Bs and the odd 6B+).
Anyway, the other day I noticed a small (about 1mm) perfectly circular hole on the seam just below the toe. I've worn through toes in the past and they've always appeared much higher up, i.e. more directly over my big toe as opposed to on the seam. Has anyone had this happen to them with such a new pair of shoes or is it just my appalling technique?
I've brought them back to the shop where I bought them and they've sent them off to La Sportiva for an "investigation", but either way I'm not too impressed to have this happen so soon to a Ł100 pair of shoes.
Another interesting thing to note is that I've spoken to people who love using them for smearing. I've found them to be positively rubbish at smearing compared to my last shoes (plain old Evolvs) and I was wondering if it's possibly some sort of defect in the rubber?
I'd be grateful for your thoughts as poor students don't like throwing Ł100 down the drain!

Not that these acquisitions are futile, nor by any means that large Indian consultancies lack business expertise. The point is that joining the club will be evolutionary, with smart strategic acquisitions accelerating the process.
Wipro understood exactly what it was getting when it bought Infocrossing. Before the acquisition, Wipro had a small, 500 person footprint in the U.S. Now it has penetrated remote infrastructure management as a new domain and hired an additional 500 people in Atlanta. Wipro also runs six datacenters in every time zone in the U.S. and has new credibility in health care, payer management, and insurance, says Unisys' Blanton.
The offshore companies are rich with cash and a unique opportunity has arisen in the States with the strong rupee and low inflation. "Buying here is a perfect hedge," said Blanton.
One fact remains true for both U.S. based and India-based companies: It's clear companies are demanding more from their partners. Not only do they want an industry and domain view, they want a complete solution, from the strategic to the operational details.
Val Rahmani, general manger of infrastructure management services for IBM, says his Internet Security Systems division now has to be combined with experts from telecom and financial services before a customer will talk to them. "A lot of what we gained from PWC [Price Waterhouse Coopers] is what drives us forward. We gained industry expertise in banking, telecom and health care."
And of course, the real goal is to create a small set of initial customers and then replicate it globally. "If we were starting today without the industry skills, we would be 15 years away," adds Rahmani.
A two-way street
Rahmani's phrase "replicate it globally" is probably the key to understanding what is happening to business worldwide. Big Blue says it wants to be able to take advantage of high-quality skills no matter where they are. "We will always be the front end. We understand the client, the technology and the industry. But there will be pieces you automate and some you do remotely," Rahmani says.
But that front end won't be limited to mature markets. IBM is investing in India and China not just to acquire technical expertise, but also to establish its own beachhead as those markets grow.
In other words, the acquisition strategy cuts both ways. Companies need to understand the culture and way of working in whatever market place they want to play in. When IBM employs 53,000 people in India, that's not just a play for cheap labor. The company is also planting a flag and establishing a presence. "It is not about the U.S. versus the rest of the world, it is about leveraging global delivery wherever it makes sense," says Rahmani.
What the headlines are really telling us is that globalization is happening at an ever quickening pace, and despite the often legitimate complaints of U.S. computer professionals about job loss here, the trend is creating jobs worldwide.
"If you look farther out, and ask what is the next India, maybe there is none. What could happen at a longer time horizon is a global sourcing strategy -- and one that is not just about wages," says Herrick.

Warrant issued for home invasion suspectStaff Report | February 07,2013A $75,000 arrest warrant has been issued for a man sought as a suspect in a reported home invasion in Rutland.
Rutland Police have been seeking Calvin B. Alexander, a 30-year-old Rutland man identified by witnesses as the man who kicked in the door at 110 Maple St., since the incident on Saturday.
Now, Rutland criminal court Judge Theresa DiMauro has issued a warrant for Alexander who police say also uses the aliases "Kevin Cross" and "Drama."
Christopher L. Orkins, 34, of Rutland, pleaded innocent Monday to aiding in the commission of a felony.
DiMauro issued the warrant for Alexander's arrest on Wednesday when he failed to appear in court to answer to felony charges of burglary in an occupied dwelling and aiding in the commission of a felony.
Witnesses at the Maple Street home told police Alexander kicked in their door and was followed in by at least three other men who discharged pepper spray into the living room.MORE IN This Just InMan denies golf Full StoryPolice: Road rage leads to gunfire Full StoryCastleton heroin Full Story

When the end finally came, they went with a whimper.
Well, maybe something more than a whimper, but when Los Angeles Police Department officers at long, long last moved to clear the Occupy L.A. encampment that had blighted the landscape around City Hall for two months, they were greeted with catcalls and the usual tired, sophomoric chants — Whose streets? Our streets! The whole world is watching! and the rest of the tedious litany — but very little in the way of active resistance.
I was one of about 1,400 LAPD officers who took part in the eviction in the early morning of Dec. 1, playing my small role in a well-planned and well-executed operation that fulfilled both of its intended goals: to end the occupation of the City Hall grounds and to do so without the violence and bad press that had marked similar police operations elsewhere.
