Well we're over two weeks in and I'm writing my first blog. I can assure you I've been more dedicated to my running than I have been my blogging! But for me, this is what it's all about. I work…a lot. And even when I'm home from work, I still end up working. So how do I fit in a running program?
I know I'm not unique. I'm not the world's busiest, most important, most sleep deprived person.
I came across this quote a month or two ago and it really stuck with me; "Someone busier than you is running right now."
What it's all about is making decisions, carving out time for what is important – the same way I do at work. Prioritize your time…and make running a priority!
It wasn't long ago that I was a high school athlete – and a very dedicated one at that. A normal day was 6 hours of school, 2-3 hours of practice and usually some conditioning after that. 23-year-old me looks at that and thinks "where did I get all of that energy?" Now I feel like I should get an award just for going to work and the gym in the same day.
It's amazing the transformation you make just in the first week or two. I'm not talking about a transformation in my speed, strength, or even appearance. I'm talking a transformation of mental toughness.
If you just follow a training program, and follow it strictly, things change quickly. All of the sudden going for a run after work is normal. I don't have to psych myself up for those long weekend runs (even if my bed does feel like what my friend would call an "oasis"). Running is becoming a normal part of my life – and I couldn't be more thrilled.
That's not to say things are easy. Heck no. I still hurt, I'm still slow, and I still get half-way through my run and feel like quitting sometimes (okay, most of the time). But in a program like this it's about baby steps. And my baby step is getting out there and trying. First step: put on the shoes.
Who knows what the next step will be?
So how do you motivate yourself?

Supervising News Editor Lateef Mungin -- 404-827-1401
Gaza-Israel-Strike (will update)
For six days, Israel has carried out a large-scale air offensive on targets in Gaza -- aiming to halt destructive and sometimes deadly rocket launches from that Palestinian territory. Monday saw more carnage, more heated words, and more damage on both sides, as well as Israel's continued preparations to invade Gaza and an intense diplomatic effort to prevent further bloodshed.
POL-Benghazi-Talking-Points (Updating)
The intelligence community -- not the White House, State Department or Justice Department -- was responsible for the substantive changes made to the talking points distributed for government officials who spoke publicly about the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, the spokesman for the director of national intelligence said Monday.
For six days, Israel has carried out a large-scale air offensive in Gaza, aiming to halt destructive and sometimes deadly rocket launches emanating from the Palestinian territory. Monday saw more carnage, more heated words and more damage on both sides. And there was also more movement toward a possible intensification of the conflict as Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States, said Israel had completed its planning for a ground invasion of Gaza.
On Monday, the team of grave diggers at Shaikh Radwan Cemetery prepared 15 graves, their busiest morning yet. And they're preparing for more. One of the slots was for 5-year-old Yusif Al-Dalou. He and eight members of his family were killed Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on their home. Their bodies were carried through the street to the sound of gunfire under Hamas banners to the cemetery.
It's become a daily routine for Israelis living near Gaza: a casual conversation interrupted by an air-raid siren, then a furious rush to find cover, and finally -- if all goes well -- a flash in the sky indicating an incoming rocket has been intercepted. While Israelis are protected by the relatively new Iron Dome missile interceptor system, it hasn't abated the fear that one of the dozens of rockets fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza into Israel in recent days will strike nearby.
In the digital age, war isn't contained to the ground. The Israeli government on Sunday said it has been hit with more than 44 million cyberattacks since it began aerial strikes on Gaza last week. Anonymous, the hacker collective, claimed responsibility for taking down some sites and leaking passwords because of what it calls Israel's "barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment" of Palestinians.
Israel and Hamas: How the conflict reignited
The situation in Gaza is prompting telephone diplomacy in the Obama administration. From Southeast Asia, on his first international trip since his re-election, President Obama has talked several times by telephone with two of the central players: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, traveling with the president, has been even busier.
United States, Israeli and Egyptian officials have long suspected that Iran is using Sudan to smuggle weapons and equipment to Hamas, using a circuitous route by air into Khartoum or by ship into Port Sudan. Then the weapons start a long road trip through eastern Sudan, across the Egyptian border and up through the Sinai Peninsula to Gaza.
Thousands of Israeli troops with tanks and armored vehicles are poised on Gaza's borders ready to move in if Israel believes there is no chance for a cease-fire in its conflict with Hamas. But Israel, which continued to press its air offensive against Gaza militants for a sixth day on Monday, is said to be well aware that a ground invasion would carry broad risks.

The yen reached the weakest since June 2010 versus the dollar after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government said it will spend 10.3 trillion yen ($116 billion) in new stimulus efforts that tend to weaken a currency.
The euro climbed after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategist Thomas Stolper wrote in a note that the shared currency may rise to $1.37. The yen headed for a ninth weekly decline, the longest losing streak since 1989, on speculation the Bank of Japan is also preparing measures to spur growth. South Korea's won gained to the strongest level against dollar in 17 months after the central bank kept interest rates unchanged.
"Abe announced fiscal stimulus in Japan, which is what sent the yen lower against the dollar," Richard Franulovich, a senior currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. in New York, said in a telephone interview. "We were expecting some sort of fiscal program, and they basically put some flesh on the bone."
The yen fell 0.4 percent to 89.17 per dollar at 11:50 a.m. in New York and reached 89.45, the weakest level since June 28, 2010. The Japanese currency depreciated 1 percent to 119.04 per euro and touched 119.35, the least since May 2011. The euro climbed as much as 0.7% to $1.3366, the highest since April 3, before trading at $1.3353, up 0.6%.
The won advanced 0.5% to 1,054.69 per dollar, the strongest level since August 2011.
Japan's government will spend about 3.8 trillion yen on disaster prevention and reconstruction, and 3.1 trillion yen on stimulating private investment and other measures, the Cabinet Office said in a statement.
BOJ Meeting
The Bank of Japan is set to adopt the 2% inflation target advocated by Abe, doubling its existing goal of 1%, without setting a deadline for achieving it, according to people familiar with discussions within the central bank. They requested anonymity because the talks are private. The BOJ meets on Jan. 21-22.
"We needed to see further news flow to maintain the weakness in the yen, and we've seen that," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. "The BOJ are signing up to the government's policy stance. For now, everyone is getting on to this train, and the question now is how far the yen can weaken."
The yen's 2.3% drop in the past week was the biggest among 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The dollar lost 1%, while the euro rose 1.4%.
Swiss Franc
The Swiss franc slid to the weakest level in more than a year against the euro after a government report showed Switzerland's consumer prices extended their longest slump in at least four decades.
The franc declined after Zuercher Kantonalbank said yesterday it reserved the right to set negative interest rates on franc deposits for its retail customers. The Swiss National Bank imposed a ceiling for the franc of 1.20 versus the euro in September 2011 to combat the threat of deflation.
"If traders needed any other reason to go long on the euro versus the franc, they got it today with the release of Swiss CPI," Peter Rosenstreich, chief foreign-exchange strategist at Swissquote Bank SA in Geneva, wrote today in a note to clients. A long position is a bet an asset will gain.
The franc lost as much as 0.6% to 1.2201 per euro, the weakest since December 2011, before trading at 1.2175, down 0.4%. The Swiss currency rose 0.3% to 91.18 centimes per dollar.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index rose 0.3% this week to 118.66 and reached 118.73 today, the highest since September 2011.
Improved Sentiment
China, the top destination for exports from South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand, said yesterday that imports gained 6% in December, the fastest growth in six months. Exports climbed 14%, the most since May.
"Sentiment toward China has improved," said Adam Cole, global head of foreign-exchange strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in London. "That's helping the Asian currencies."
South Africa's rand slid versus all of its major counterparts a day after Fitch Ratings cut the nation's credit rating because of slowing economic growth, a widening budget deficit and rising unemployment. The currency weakened 1% to 8.7377 to the dollar.
The Australian dollar weakened versus the greenback as its failure to break through resistance at $1.06 signaled gains in the currency may have been too rapid. The Aussie fell 0.6% to $1.0540 after being unable to exceed $1.0599, the highest since Sept. 14, for a second straight day. Resistance is a level on a chart where sell orders may be clustered.
Relative Strength
The Australian dollar's 14-day relative strength index versus the greenback reached 68 yesterday, near the 70 level that some traders see as a sign it has risen too quickly and may be due to reverse course.
The euro headed for a weekly gain versus all 16 of its most-traded counterparts. It last reached $1.37, Goldman Sachs's target, in November 2011.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said yesterday the economy should regain momentum after policy makers left the main refinancing rate at a record low of 0.75% at a meeting in Frankfurt.

A surface trough and associated cloud band with isolated embedded thunderstorms extends over northern and northeastern Australia eventually merging with a cold front over the Tasman Sea. A very cold air mass exists behind this front over agricultural areas of South Australia, southern New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania as depicted by the speckled cloud. A low pressure system about the west coast of Western Australia has produced some patchy cloud over southern parts of the state.
A ridge of high pressure over southern Western Australia is maintaining mostly clear conditions apart from some low cloud along the southern coast.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Campus Housing: The dorms are pretty narrow and kind of unhomely feel. But the social atmosphere is awesome and everybody is always friendly. It's quite expensive but worth it to dorm. It's also convenient to just wake up 15 minutes before class.
B A+F Facilities: There are so many ways to be involved.
B A+F Facilities: It is a very highly academic, athletic school with over 700 clubs to be involved in. It is like it's own world.
C A+F Scholarships: There are so many candidates for scholarships and aid that it is hard to qualify for anything. You have to be super special to get anything. It makes it harder for above average students to feel good enough to qualify for stuff.
B A+F Academics: My degree program is in high demand. My school is very athletic and visible in the competitive arena so there is great interest in my career field.
B A+F Academics: My school has some of the best professors around. It is a big school so it's easy to feel lost in the system and a little intimidating knowing if you are doing the right things. Sometimes making a mistake and missing something can cost you too much time.
B A+F Transportation: Again, there are limitless options for transportation
B A+F Guys & Girls: Great diversity with this size of school
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: There is an abundance of housing options
C A+F Weather: The weather has no impact.
C A+F Drug Safety: There is so much drinking in our community in general, that adding college students to the mix is easy.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: My community has GREAT diversity.
B A+F Campus Strictness: My school is very large (34k+) students and it is very organized and structured. Professors are great and helpful. This school is very rigorous.
A A+F Overall Experience: If I could do it all over I would choose my school again. It is the best! The academics and the athletics are great! I love the sens of pride we have at our school, knowing the we have the best of everything! Everyone is so friendly! One of the most amazing feelings in the world is cheering in the student section at a home football game on Saturday. The atmosphere is just so wonderful. Everyone comes together in their red and black and we are like a big family. The students are so ambitious and hardworking, yet they also really know how to have fun. This is THE BEST University in the world and I'm so glad to be apart of the Bulldawg Nation!!
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: The off-campus housing is great! There is great parking and buses that come and take you on campus so if you don't want to drive you don't have to. The safety is not that great though, but as long as you're in a group you should be okay. I think it is pretty convenient because it is not that far from campus. Often, it's cheaper to live off campus because the dorms are really expensive.
D A+F Scholarships: The dorms and meal plans are so expensive that most people need loans to pay for it. Even if you get the HOPE scholarship or Zell Miller that only pays tuition. There are so many other costs. I have not had much dealings with financial aid because my parents do not want me to take out a lot of loans like my brother did. I really need scholarships so that I will not have to worry about paying them back.
C A+F Parking: Parking is not that great. You have to park somewhere that's kind of far unless you want to pay a lot for the really close parking. If you park anywhere on campus you have to have a permit during the day time. It's really hard because the campus is big and if you depend on the buses you will be late sometimes and it's hard to walk from one side of campus to the other in between classes.
Academics: I haven't really gotten into any major classes yet. However, I have talked with some of the professors within my major, and they are very nice. I think that the professors in this major really care about making this an enjoyable experience for their students.
B A+F Academics: There are a variety of majors offered at my school. However, a lot of student are into the medicine field or business. I have heard that the science classes are very challenging and they do that to keep out people who don't work hard enough. However, I think that the class load is not too much. There are various resources for students to help them succeed such as tutoring and the Student Academic Center.
B A+F Diversity: I think this University has a very diverse group of students. There are many different races, ethnicity, countries and religions represented at his school. The students are pretty accepting and they don't really care where someone is from. People are very friendly and open about their differences.
C A+F Weather: The weather in this city is so unpredictable. We can get rain, snow, sunny weather and windy all in one week. When you go out, you never know what to expect. Most students keep umbrellas with them and sunglasses and jackets. However, the weather doesn't stop students from going out and having fun.
B A+F Guys & Girls: I think that there is a lot of the same looks and interests at the university. When you look at a friend group, you will hear how students love being different and all that, but then they all have the same ideas and same conversation. There is not that much diversity within friend groups only diversity is from one group to the next.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: This school has the best atmosphere ever for a college town. It's a small city that loves the University. However, it's not small enough where it is boring, just small enough to keep us away from a lot of trouble. There are always concerts and activities in the city that students can attend outside of the University functions.
C A+F Health & Safety: I think the safety and security on campus is pretty good. There is not an excessive amount of it , but I know that if something bad were to happen, the security would keep us in good hands.
B A+F Athletics: The athletics at UGA are great! There is a lot of student involvement and activities to create unity within the student athletes. The coaches, advisors, and trainers all work together to make sure we have everything we need to succeed both academically and athletically. The school spirit is just amazing and the pride we have for our team is great! We all support each sport and come together to really show what the Bulldawg nation is all about!

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Christopher Joshua Benton
One of the most amazing things about students at UGA is that I have never heard one person say they don't like being here. UGA and Athens have so much to offer in so many different categories, that there really is something for everyone. The positive energy of 30,000 people who are happy to be here is captivating, and something you will instantly want to be a part of. It will not take long before you regard Athens as your second home, and after about a week, most students forget how big a school it is.
It's exciting to be in Athens because there is always something going on, whether it is entertainment, a demonstration, job fairs, or just a chance to hang out with people you just met who are now your best friends. Students are encouraged to explore their talents and make the most of their four years here, and most students are able to achieve their ultimate "college experience." Sometimes, it seems like we are all characters in some cheesy teen movie because college life in Athens is so classic, but academically, socially, and personally, this school seems to have changed most of us for the better.

Rochester, NY (WBEN/AP) US Attorney Bill Hochul will hold a news conference at 4 this afternoon to update reporters on the investigation into the Christmas Eve shooting at a fire scene that claimed the lives of two volunteer firefighters and wounded two others.
There were reports of a raid at a home near where the gunman opened fire in the ambush. Friday afternoon, a published report says a woman was taken into custody as police investigate how William Spengler, Jr. got the guns to attack the firefighters.
Meantime, hundreds of firefighters from the U.S. and Canada are heading to the Rochester area for the wakes and funeral services for the two volunteer firefighters killed in a Christmas Eve ambush.
Calling hours for Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka will be held at Webster Schroeder High School. Calling hours Friday night were initially for Webster firefighters and police officers only, but have been opened to the public because of overwhelming response from the community.
Calling hours are also being held Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.
Chiapperini and Kaczowka were fatally shot by William Spengler early Monday morning when they arrived at a scene of a fire Spengler had set at his lakeside home. Two other Webster firefighters were wounded.
Chiapperini's funeral is Sunday and Kaczowka's is Monday.

Vt. officials: prisons see more suicide attemptsSeptember 25,2013Suicide attempts
on rise in Vt. jails
MONTPELIER Suicide attempts in Vermont prisons have increased, said officials from the state Department of Corrections.
The comment came during a hearing of a legislative oversight committee that focused on prisoner mental health.
The meeting followed the death of Robert Mossey, 38, died who hanged himself in a mop closet late last month at the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport.
Mosseys step-father, Todd Jimmo, a former corrections officer, said under-staffing at the prison could be part of the problem.
You cant prevent everything. But had the staffing been better it probably would have been less likely, said Jimmo. From what Im understanding the unit officer was really busy and knowing inmates the way I do, they tend to get in there and they learn your habits and when is the best time to pull something off that theyre not supposed to do.
Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito said Mosseys was the first suicide within the system in nine years, Vermont Public Radio reported.
Prisoners are at a greater risk of suicide than the general population, said Dr. Delores Burroughs-Biron, the health services director for the Department of Corrections.
It is the despair, the sense of hopelessness that comes about as a result of being incarcerated. And for some people, time and time again, they are incarcerated, Burroughs-Biron said.MORE IN Vermont NewsWASHINGTON The president of the Vermont-based New England Federal Credit Union urged Congress...

This item is currently unavailable.
Submit your email address to be notified when it is available.
Vornado Evaporative Cool Mist Humidifier
Evaporative Humidifiers have established themselves as an effective and low maintenance option for humidity control. Yet, as the name might imply, "evaporation" is a passive process that can limit the user's ability to control the amount of humidity released in the air, and how effectively it is distributed throughout the environment.
The Vornado Whole Room Evaporative Humidifier is the only technology that combines the proven reliability of evaporative humidification with Vornado's signature Whole Room Circulation, resulting in a uniquely effective means to create a comfortable living space. Vornado's deep pitch blade circulator pulls large volumes of harsh, dry air through the unit and then pushes the moistened air further out into the room, providing complete and even humidification. It also recovers and circulates heat off of the ceiling for even room temperature. Delivers automatic humidity control with built-in humidistat. Easy-to-use push button panel allows you to choose your desired humidity level and fan speed.
Reliable Coverage:
An area up to 1,000 sq. ft.Easy Maintenance:
Large 1.8 gallon capacity means fewer refillsLandmark Technology:
Only Vornado combines the ease of evaporation with patented Whole Room Technology

Not sure why, but today the voice on Google Now has changed from a male to a female. I'm in the UK and before I had a male with a British accent but now that's changed to an American female.
I can live it, although I would prefer to have the male one back. It sounded more human IMO. Anyone know how I can get it back?
I've tried changing the language setting but it didn't make any difference.

After get-ting clean, she moved to Oklahoma in 1995 to start a new life. The Tulsa Housing Authority pro-vided her with housing assistance during that time until she switched to Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program in 2005. "I've been free from drugs since 1991," said Benetta, now a pleasant and cheerful middle-aged school bus driver. Most people would never think that Benetta was once a drug addict because of the person she is today – a reliable employee, a loving mother, and a trustworthy neighbor. As a grade school and middle school bus driver for Jenks Public School for the past seven years, "Miss Benetta," as the children call her, is a positive influence in their lives. Right after parents rush their kids to get to the bus on time after a hectic morning, Benetta opens the school bus door and greets them with a big, warm smile. The children on Benetta's yel-low school bus experience lots of interaction. "We sing on our bus," she said. "When a child has a birthday, I have everyone sing 'Happy Birthday!'" The end result of a fun bus ride? The children are happy and ready to learn when they step off the bus, Benetta explained. Benetta started college and her job with Jenks Public Schools shortly after she enrolled in OHFA's Family Self-Sufficiency Program. The program assists individuals receiving Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher assistance as they achieve their educational and employment goals. Participants receive one-on-one support and counseling from an FSS Specialist during the five years they have to reach their goals. The FSS Program also creates a finan-cial incentive by putting money into an escrow savings account (Continued on Page 2) OHFA Vision: An affordably housed Oklahoma OHFA Mission: Creating housing solutions for Oklahomans Vision & Mission Website OHFA Website: www.ohfa.org Benetta makes sure the kids who ride her bus have a fun time so they are happy and ready to learn when they arrive at school. Jenks Public School bus driver Benetta Adams bought a house in Jenks using OHFA's Section 8 Homeownership Program. She also credits the Family Self-Sufficiency Program for changing her life.

Cost: $15/$10 students/artists/seniors. Group rates available. Start: 6:30 from The Pearl. Next dates: January 17, Feb. 7 & 21
After 6 years of delivering arts enthusiasts to the door of local emerging galleries and studios, the ARTBus has become one of the icons of the Hamilton visual arts scene. It now begins anew 're-fuelled'! The renamed 'ARTBus Hamilton' will continue to visit established galleries but will seek new spaces and studios each month. Riders will enjoy a more interactive experience including demonstrations, artist/curator talks and exposure to special media nights (such as photography, pottery, graffiti, fine craft and glass). We'll have guest 'on-board' curators, join studio tours, find pop-up and unconventional spaces, and tailor evenings by request for groups. The Bus will travel now on the first and third Fridays and leave our patrons free to do the James North Art Crawl on the second Friday. The ARTBus Hamilton will continue to act as a 'vehicle' for the promotion of art; working to create a public appreciation of the contribution of fine art to our lives. The ARTBus Hamilton gets you and your friends to where it is all happening!
Friday, December 1 BUS STOPS
A night of firsts….. We'll begin our evening with a viewing of the Hamilton Sculptors Guild Fall/Winter Exhibition currently on at The Pearl Company. We will first travel to the McMaster Innovation Park and view over 200 pieces of newly hung work by local artists within the 'Art in the Workplace' program. The art in this building is changed every three months so we will be first on the scene to see the new work. We will then visit 'Artiques' one of Hamilton's newest galleries at 380 King Street. This gallery/antique store has just opened this month to rave reviews. We will then travel back to the Pearl District to celebrate the grand opening of Joanna St. Jacques new photography studio/gallery and painter Gerardo Mansang's new studio.
Three new art venues and two new exhibits at our favourite stops! Join us firstname.lastname@example.com.

But a Hexham cyclist beat him to the finish line in Paris – by seven days.
James Thompson pedalled the whole of the 3,500km route, completing all 20 stages in 20 days, exactly one week ahead of the professionals.
The 22-year-old took part in the Tour de Force charity challenge, and has raised more than £1,500 in aid of the William Wates Memorial Trust, a London-based charity which supports disadvantaged young people.
James, who has just finished a four-year degree in building surveying at Plymouth University, started the mammoth task on June 24, in Liege, Belgium, before arriving in Paris on July 16.
He said: "It was a wonderful experience. I got up to 56mph in the Pyrenees and some of the mountainous sections were very challenging.
"We were only getting about five or six hours sleep per night, and that sleep depravation caught up with us as the days went on. We were biking for about 12 hours per day, and sometimes a bit more."
James, who attended Hexham's Queen Elizabeth High School, has been a keen cyclist since childhood.
He joined the YOGi Cycling Club in Plymouth, and began competing in races, before the opportunity to take part in the Tour de Force came his way.
He was joined by fellow YOGi club members Simon Pope (46) and Chris Glazier (54), both from Plymouth, and other cyclists who took part in the Tour de Force.
James, a former Tynedale hockey player, added: "The route was being prepared for the big event, so we certainly got a taste of what it's like to ride the Tour de France.
"There were even people cheering us on. The French were very friendly and they seem to like seeing us pass through. It was never going to be easy, but we prepared for it and thoroughly enjoyed it."
While he was inspired by the achievements of both Bradley Wiggins and himself, James has no plans to become a professional cyclist.
Instead, he is looking forward to starting work in building surveying on his return to Tynedale.
He explained: "To be a pro I probably would have needed to be doing big events when I was 15 or 16 years old.
"I think it is time to concentrate on my career and continue to enjoy cycling in my spare time."
The William Wates Memorial Trust was set up in 1998.
It funds projects which help disadvantaged youngsters, and provides them with opportunities in arts, music and sport.

This week in... 1949
Friday, December 9, 1949...A workman was buried alive while digging a drain in the Prudhoe Urban Council's housing estate at Oaklands.
Workmates rushed to the aid of 50-year-old Richard Barclay, of Stocksfield, when the wall of the trench he was digging collapsed.
They managed to dig his head and shoulders free before finally pulling him from the earth. He was found to be suffering from shock and bruising.

Sanders adds amendment to immigration billThere are some things Sen. Bernard Sanders likes about the immigration bill working it's way through the Senate. Then again, there are provisions in the bill he doesn't like, including billions that would be spent on enhanced border security.
One provision that Sanders supports is an amendment that he and four other senators sponsored that calls for spending $1.5 billion over two years to help 400,000 people between the ages of 16 and 24 find summer and year round jobs.
Sanders, an independent, said he offered that amendment over his concern that the immigration bill will allow hundreds of thousands of guest workers into the country. He said those guest workers will more than likely be employed in lower wage jobs, denying jobs that could be filled by young workers in this country.
He said the real unemployment in the country is close to 14 percent, counting those who have given up looking for work and who working part time. Among young people, he said it is "very, very much higher."
"So, I don't see the sense in bringing in hundreds of thousands of entry level workers from all over the world to take jobs that young Americans should be having," Sanders said Monday.
States like Vermont with a low unemployment rate would receive a minimum of $7.5 million over two years while states with higher unemployment would receive more.
Sanders said the details have yet to be worked out but the funds could be used for job training or to help subsidize wages to encourage employers to hire young workers.
The temporary youth jobs program would be funded with a $10 fee on employers who hire guest workers.
Sanders said while he supports added security along the southern border the bill goes too far and is boondoggle for private contractors.
A vote on beefing up border security, which includes Sanders' amendment, is expected later today.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Fear and tension pervade "The Sniper." O'Flaherty, making full use of his tight unity of place, builds tension steadily and systematically in several ways. The reader is told that one can hear the thunder of ammunition exploding in the distance. In the immediate milieu that the author creates, bullets whiz by and every simple act, such as lighting a cigarette, must be weighed carefully for its potential danger. The sniper is essentially a schoolboy caught up in a situation over which he must gain control. If he fails, he dies.
O'Flaherty creates a feeling of tension by his skillful use of short, clipped sentences and simple, direct vocabulary. As the tension is built, each sentence reveals only one bare fact:The turret opened. A man's head and shoulders appeared, looking towards the sniper. The sniper raised his rifle and fired. The head fell heavily on the turret wall. The woman darted toward the side street. The sniper fired again. The woman whirled around and fell with a shriek into the gutter.
The beat of these sentences is like the beating of one's heart. To read a paragraph so tightly controlled and structured as this one is to have one's breath taken away.
O'Flaherty, because he has to emphasize how totally on his own the young sniper is, cannot have dialogue in this story. The sniper must be on the roof alone. The omniscient observer must tell everything that happens without being intrusive. O'Flaherty...

Historical Context
The English in Ireland
In the twelfth century, the English monarch, backed by a large army, declared himself overlord of Ireland. For the next several centuries, English rule was generally confined to the area around Dublin. The English monarchy, however, continued efforts to subdue the entire island, resulting in ongoing Irish rebellion. In the early 1600s, the monarchy overthrew the native Irish political system, bringing the entire country under its control. For the next hundred years, the English created colonies in Ireland. As part of this effort, they drove many Irish from their land and gave estates to English landowners. Religious problems arose as well, since most Irish were Roman Catholics while the new English settlers, who mainly lived in the north, followed the Protestant faith. Laws continually favored Protestants over Catholics.
By the late 1700s, Irish rebels were making repeated efforts to gain some kind of independence. Their efforts were to little avail, and in 1801 the Act of Union formally united Great Britain and Ireland. This law abolished the Irish Parliament; instead, Ireland voted for representatives who served in the British Parliament.
Beginning in the 1870s, a Home Rule movement was on the rise among Irish nationalists, most of whom were Catholics. Supporters demanded some form of self government. They were opposed by Irish Protestants, who were called unionists because they wanted to preserve...

Literary Style
The setting of "The Sniper" is integral to the narrative, for it draws its action from the Irish civil war. The story takes place in Dublin, Ireland, in June 1922. At this time, the Irish civil war has been going on for several months. The Republicans hold the Four Courts judicial building, but the Free Staters are attacking them with heavy arms.
"The Sniper" also takes place between the hours of dusk and dawn. Beginning as "twilight faded into night," the action of the story instantly becomes more dangerous. The sniper must conduct his battle in the dark. He has only "the dim light of the moon that shone through fleecy clouds" to see by. This lack of clarity has a realistic impact in making his task—difficult even in the light of day— even more challenging. The sniper has to aim at his enemy, about fifty yards away, and get off one fatal shot with a revolver. The lack of light also has symbolic significance: it underscores the murky, ambiguous situation that a civil war poses. The civil war pits friends, neighbors, and even family members against one another. As is borne out by the story's ending, people cannot see very clearly during such a conflict.
Point of View
The narrative takes a limited, third-person point of view. The action is entirely funneled through the protagonist. The reader sees only through his eyes, hears sounds through his ears, and processes events through his...

Compare and Contrast
1920s: Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. Many Irish have long been unhappy with this situation. In the late 1910s, Irish forces rebel and begin fighting with British forces. They seek independence from British rule. Today: Four-fifths of the island of Ireland makes up the independent Republic of Ireland, or Eire in the Irish language. Northern Ireland makes up the rest of the island, and it is part of the United Kingdom.
1920s: Republicans and Free Staters engage in a deadly and destructive civil war. Republicans refuse to accept the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which makes southern Ireland a dominion within the United Kingdom, known as the Irish Free State. The Republicans want all of the island of Ireland to have independence. Free Staters, however, support this treaty. The civil war carries on from 1921 until 1923, when a cease-fire is declared, with the Free Staters victorious.
Today: After decades of fighting between Protestants in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republican Army—the paramilitary arm of Sinn Féin, the two sides agree to a cease-fire in 1998. Troubles, however, still brew in Ireland over the division of the island. In 2004, Protestant and Catholic political parties struggle over ways to share power, and allegations of kidnapping and violence on the part of the IRA still take place.
1920s: Irish political leaders are all men, such as Michael Collins, Eamon de Valera, and Arthur...

Topics for Further Study
Research the Irish civil war. After you have conducted your research, write a paper analyzing ''The Sniper'' from a historical point of view.
Imagine that you are directing a movie version of ''The Sniper.'' How would you direct the final scene? What kind of emotions would you ask your actor to convey?
Write an essay describing how you think the sniper feels at learning he has killed his brother and what he does next. Does this event keep him from further participation in the Irish civil war?
Investigate another civil war or conflict that has divided families, friends, and communities. Use what you have learned to write your own short story exploring the way that such conflict affects members of society.
The events surrounding the Irish civil war brought to the forefront many important political leaders. Research one of these leaders, either a Republican or a Free Stater, and find out about his influence on Irish history.
Find out more about the role that religion has played in Ireland's history from the late 1800s through the present day.

What Do I Read Next?
O'Flaherty's novel The Informer, first published in 1925, is set in the aftermath of the Irish civil war. It tells about an outlaw who is the object of a Dublin manhunt. The Informer is one of O'Flaherty's most well-known pieces of fiction.
Like ''The Sniper,'' O'Flaherty's short story ''Civil War,'' included in the 1925 collection of the same name, explores the experience of the war through two Republican soldiers—one an idealist and one a realist—who are trapped on a rooftop, waiting for death.
Liam O'Flaherty's Ireland (2001), by Peter Costello, features biographical information about O'Flaherty, excerpts from his fiction, and photographs from his time period.
The Letters of Liam O'Flaherty (1996), edited by A. A. Kelly, can provide additional information on this writer.
O'Henry's ''The Gift of the Magi'' (1905), Guy de Maupassant's ''The Necklace'' (1884), and Saki's ''The Open Window'' (1914) all provide variations—both humorous and tragic—on the same type of surprise ending employed by O'Flaherty.
James Joyce's Dubliners (1914), a collection of short stories about the lives of people in Dublin, includes the masterpiece ''The Dead.''
Sean O'Casey's play Juno and the Paycock, perhaps his most popular, was originally staged in 1924 and set during the Irish civil...

I did not care for the fabric on these shoes. The piece covering the top of the foot is extremely thin and very likely to wear out in a short period of time. The height of the shoe is too low and does not give adequate space for the toes, so their outline is clearly visible and pushing up through the fabric when you wear them. In addition, the inner sole of the left shoe came off before I even had a chance to put it on, which makes it seem very cheaply made.
