There's a movement under way among dads in America that's changing what you see on TV.
Across the country, more and more are fed up -- and rising up against the stereotype of the inept, clueless father.
"We're not the Peter Griffin or the Homer Simpson that we're often portrayed as," said Kevin Metzger, who runs the Dadvocate blog.
It's often the chief gripe among the dads I interview about modern fatherhood.
David Holland, father of three, rails against "doofus dads" in ads. In his blog Blather. Wince. Repeat., he calls them "Madison Avenue's go-to guy."
During every commercial break, he says, he and his wife "try to see who can be the first one to spot the idiot husband or father."
In a sign of their growing power, dads out to end the stereotype recently scored a knockout blow against a pair of TV ads.
A Huggies ad earlier this year said the company put its diapers "to the toughest test imaginable: dads, alone with their babies, in one house, for five days."
What exactly made time with dad "the toughest test imaginable?" The ad showed dads making some unpleasant faces and ended with a woman saying, "good luck, babe."
Another Huggies ad featured a group of dads not changing their babies' diapers while watching an entire game through "double overtime."
Angry dads and moms responded with complaints, saying fathers aren't incompetent parents who leave their kids in dirty diapers.
Chris Routly took it a step further, creating a petition on change.org.
"This wasn't just that they had created a bumbling dad character or that sort of thing or just excluding dad," like so many other TV portrayals, he said. "They were using language that was really saying dads are terrible at this stuff."
Huggies took action.
On Facebook, the company praised dads and said its intention was to "break out of stereotypes." And Huggies officials called Routly, giving him a list of steps they were taking to show fathers in a better light.
Soon, Huggies issued new ads featuring dads caring for their toddlers. Last month, the NYC Dads Group heaped praise on them for "raising the bar" in how a father was portrayed.
Huggies isn't the first to run into frustration from consumers rejecting what they view as an outdated, inaccurate trope. AT&T angered some with an ad about a father who somehow couldn't wrap his mind around the concept of wireless Internet.
The image of the hapless dad has long roots in American pop culture. A study of comics as far back as the 1940s found "incompetent" fathers and other mocking portrayals resurging at times across the decades.
But TV didn't start skewering dads frequently until much later, says Bob Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
While dads in "Leave It to Beaver" and "The Donna Reed Show" had flaws, they were close to what was then thought of as "perfect," part of an idealized white American family. Later, shows such as "The Cosby Show," "Family Ties," "Growing Pains" and "Full House" showcased caring dads of a new generation, Thompson says.
But by the late 1980s, more shows wanted to distance themselves "from the corny, syrupy stuff" -- and in stepped shows such as "Married With Children" and "The Simpsons."
It's only natural that comedies would take on dads, Thompson says.
"Comedy is about inversion -- taking people who are in authority and control and making them the butt of jokes." So in a society "that has been so dominated by men... comedy is naturally going to play against that."
Dads on TV today are presented in so many different ways that it's impossible to say things are getting better or worse, he says.
From the stay-at-home dad in "Up All Night" to the lovable dads in "Modern Family," relatively positive portrayals abound. Thompson says the growing push for "recognizable" dads who reflect today's realities are probably to credit for these characters.

New achievements coming up in patch 5.1
There are some changes to existing achievements, too, but we're only going to talk about the shiny new ones. They mostly relate to everyone's favorite new feature: Pet Battles. Firstly, there's I Choose You, which requires players to defeat Zen Master Aki.
There's also Seek and Defeat, which requires players to hunt down and beat up 8 legendary pets. It's not clear whether these legendary pets will fill the same role as legendary weapons, but it sounds like a pretty cool addition to the existing pet battle set-up.
Continuing in the same vein, there has finally been another mount collecting achievement added for all those mount lovers out there. We're Going to Need More Saddles sets the bar at a cool 150 mounts, 50 more than the current highest achievement.
And lastly, there are two feats of strength: They're Both Footballs? requires you to own both the 2012 Winter Veil gift, the Pigskin, and the Foot Ball. To me, as a Brit, only one of those is a football. The second feat of strength is WoW's 9th Anniversary, which asks you to log in during that period. Simple!
Mists of Pandaria is here! The level cap has been raised to 90, many players have returned to Azeroth, and pet battles are taking the world by storm. Keep an eye out for all of the latest news, and check out our comprehensive guide to Mists of Pandaria for everything you'll ever need to know.

What is angina pectoris?Angina pectoris is chest pain or pressure that occurs when the oxygen supply to the heart muscle cannot keep up with oxygen consumption by the heart muscle. (Oxygen consumption by the heart muscle increases with physical exertion or excitement and decreases with rest and relaxation.) Most commonly, the inadequate supply of oxygen is due to narrowing of the coronary arteries by atherosclerosis. When coronary arteries are narrowed by more than 50% to 70%, the arteries cannot increase the supply of blood to the heart muscle during exertion or other periods of high oxygen demand. An insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle causes chest pain (angina). Chest pain that occurs with exercise or exertion is called exertional angina. What is a heart attack?
Comment on this
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is the death of heart muscle due to the sudden and complete blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot. A coronary artery blockage usually occurs in arteries that contain cholesterol plaques. A plaque can rupture and initiate the formation of a blood clot next to it. A blood clot can completely block blood flow through a coronary artery and deprive the heart muscle of needed nutrients and oxygen. The heart muscle then dies, which produces a heart attack. Ventricular fibrillationA heart attack can trigger the sudden onset of ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a chaotic electrical rhythm of the heart that causes cardiac arrest (the heart stands still and ceases to pump blood). Ventricular fibrillation causes permanent brain damage and death unless a normal heartbeat can be restored within five minutes of its onset. Of the one million Americans who suffer heart attacks annually, approximately 400,000 of them die suddenly and unexpectedly from ventricular fibrillation before the victims can reach any medical assistance. For these people, the first sign of coronary heart disease is sudden, unexpected death. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

Last night Larry King announced that he will be ending his run on his CNN show. He first announced via Twitter that he would no longer host the nightly show, but has another network project in the works.
"Announcing tonight: I'm ending my nightly show this fall but continuing at CNN,"
Then, just as he started the show he confirmed the news…
"Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live. Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids' little league games.
"I'm incredibly proud that we recently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest running show with the same host in the same time slot. With this chapter closing I'm looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring, but for now it's time to hang up my nightly suspenders."
That'll do Larry. That'll do. Currently the top ho in the running to replace Larry is Piers Morgan after he impressed the network by making a grown man cry during one his shows.
"British journo Piers Morgan will start his takeover of Larry King's CNN show in October, sources tell Page Six. The former newspaper editor has a deal to host an hourlong interview program which will start in the fall four days a week as CNN phases King out. He's also negotiated with NBC to stay on the "America's Got Talent" judging panel, but is quitting the UK's "Britain's Got Talent." One source said, "Morgan's UK interview shows, including one where former Prime Minister Gordon Brown broke down in tears, impressed CNN bosses.
Morgan's show will be prerecorded in New York so he can work 'round his other TV commitments." CNN said in a statement: "We don't comment on speculation. Rumors that we are close to signing a deal for a Larry King replacement are untrue . . . Larry is a beloved member of the team, and he will continue to be part of the CNN family into the future."
I can wear suspenders and make people cry…I should update my resume and send it over.

With today's environmental issues, it is important when we travel to still remain green. Some may believe that it is next to impossible to stay green and travel. But, these two things are possible, and they do not involve hardship and deprivation. Traveling and staying green is as simple as respecting where you travel and immerse yourself in their food, culture, and way of life.
Flying Tips to Keep You Green
- Fly less by cutting down on short trips and by staying for longer periods of time.
- Try to fly directly to your point of interest if at all possible since take-offs and landings use a large amount of the plane's fuel.
- Fly economy class, keeping emissions per person as low as possible.
- Pack light since a lighter plane uses less fuel.
- Make changes to your lifestyle at home to reduce your overall personal carbon footprint.
Remember: tourism is a key source of income for 1/3 of developing nations. Many of the world's poorest countries rely on tourism and have few other economic alternatives. If you carefully consider how best to use your flight, and go on trips that benefit to the destination, you can make a positive contribution that outweighs the environmental impact of your flight.
Tips on Being Green in Another Country
- Learn about the country you're visiting.
- Think about where your money goes. Always try to think of the local people when you're spending money and try to eat and drink local items rather than imported items. Also, consider staying in a locally owned accommodation.
- Be prepared to open your mind to new cultures and traditions. Take a second glance at your suitcase, and make sure your clothing is appropriate for your destination, and be prepared to change the way you do things and what you believe.
- Minimize environmental impact by thinking about where your trash goes. Understand that some resources we take for granted everyday is a valuable commodity to the locals.
- Talk to the people that live there. Do not use guidebooks as your only source of information. The locals always know the best kept secrets.
- Photography. Some cultures and beliefs see having a picture taken very negatively, so always ask before you snap a picture of them!
Overall, try to minimize your environmental impact by carefully choosing how to travel, your destination, and, where you stay. But remember: enjoy the journey, and the destination itself!
Two Noteworthy Locations
Meet the river people of Amazon, Brazil
In Brazil, there are not many lodges for visitors, but there is the Pousada Uakari, which is a floating lodge on the rivers Japura and Solimoes in the heart of the Mamiraua Reserve in northern Brazil. The lodge has ten thatched wooden cabins, built on floating timber. Each cabin has basic essentials: two king-sized beds, a bathroom with hot water and a shower, and a terrace facing the forest. Dinner is served each night at the main lodge full of fresh fish and fruit.
- Guests at the Pousada Uakari are allowed to join in with the locals, who survive on fishing and agriculture, and to visit their villages.
- May through July is flood season and visitors are allowed to rent a small canoe to paddle along one of the eleven trails to see red howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and scarlet-faced white uakari monkeys. August through April, visitors are allowed to walk these trails to see the various species of monkeys.
- Visitors can also canoe on the Mamiraua Lake, where pink river dolphins, manatees, and caimans swim among the submerged trees.
Uakari's various environmentally friendly technologies:
- Rainwater collection
- Solar power for lighting and water heating
- Sewage filtration system to limit its impact on the river habitat.
The Pousada Uakari is the first location in Brazil where Amazonian communities are working with conservationists to involve them in conservation and tourism, instead of using their natural resources. View Clean Breaks for other information and visit Click here to see package tours to the lodge, price, and ititneraries.
Bateleur Camp at Kichwa, Kenya
Bateleur Camp at Kichwa, Kenya, located on the Masai Mara National Reserve, has small numbers of accommodation units, or tents, built mostly from local material and carefully sited among existing trees. Bateleur is a safari adventure, but the tourism it receives is more exclusive than mass market. Bateleur Camp is great for people seeking conservation with adventure, and is situated perfectly on the African Safari.
- Visitors may see six different species and over 450 birds.
- Experience the climax of the Great Migration in the heart of Kenya.
- Experience and learn about the local community, and even view the Maasai warrior men in traditional dress chanting melodies.
- View the landscape from a hot air balloon.
- Attend a night Safari drive.
Bateleur Camp Kichwa's various environmentally friendly technologies:
- Usage of hand construction
- Not disturbing existing trees
- Understanding the sensitivity to the location
- Energy-saving light bulbs all around the camp
- Solar-powered technologies in various lodges to reduce fossil fuel consumption in generators
Bateleur Camp is does a wonderful job of conservation and recycling to minimize their carbon footprint. For more information check out the book Eco-Travel Guide, and click here to see more information on lodging, pricing, activities, and personal experiences.
Note of Caution
Some companies are truly green and believe in what they're doing, other say they are green so they can be on the "eco-friendly" bandwagon. It is best to use resources that have researched in the location and business that surround them. Not sure where to find resources? Check the TSCPL catalog, and here are a few books to keep you traveling while remaining green:

UnderGround Forum >> Was Anderson Silva disrespectful?
Member Since: 2/23/03 Posts: 11967 |
role model - Silva bought his own stock a bit too much. You can only do shit like that against world class fighters for so long before you end up paying the price. And I hate to mention that his reflexes aren't gonna be any faster after that KO and the follow up shots. VTFU Sliva's been playing a dangerous game with that tactic. His skill (and maybe some luck, can't discount luck) have kept him out of trouble before but if ya go the well too often something like that is gonna happen. Let's face it - the guys Sliva does this to are NOT your ordinary slobs. We're talking about people with the genetics to be professional athletes. Risky, high stakes game to play. |
Member Since: 8/30/12 Posts: 165 |
He's a fucking awesome fighter for sure, but if anyone's 'fake' in the UFC it's AS. All that bullshit when he gets on his knees and puts the belt at the feet of the guy he just mauled after taunting him during the fight was always unbelievably hypocritical and disingenuous. I don't mind a bit of taunting like the Diaz bros do, but at least they don't act as though they're some sort of respectful martial artist after like AS has been doing these past few years. I'm glad Weidman showed him he wasn't going to be overwhelmed by it all and taught the old dog a lesson. |
Member Since: 3/25/02 Posts: 7908 |
Ironhouse - The Spider was mad that so many people picked against him despite all of his accomplishments and he set out to make them feel stupid. He got even more mad that Chris was trying to Sonnen him. Much like with Bonner, Silva seems to get upset that people think he doesn't have any skills off his back so they try to GnP him. Well, this time it didn't work. WTF! OMG! seriously now we get to see if he really is great! Lmao ya everything he has done means nothing! Please kill yourself! lol |
Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 45345 |
Jetster -badboyhere - Was he disrespectful??? hmmmm good question... Exactly. What happens in the fights are done to try and win the fight. In terms of respect, imo, its more imporant that its shown after the fight than during. Case in point with someone like Nick Diaz. He does the same thing in the fights, he tries to goad the other into his fight but he still whines and discredits after he loses. Or Nate after the Thomson loss. Chael, for all this antics leading up to fights, he is always business during the fights and take the losses like a man. Did Anderson whine about the rules or Weidman's style of fighting afterwards? Or did Anderson acknowledge that Weidman is now the man and to respect the new champ? |
Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 21268 |
I really believe that Silva was trying to put Weidman in his world, but it didn't work. I don't think he was trying to disrespect Weidman, I think he had a lot of respect for Weidman and was trying to push getting into his 'zone' as fast as he could. The words he spoke at the end made me tear up. There sure as hell wasn't any disrespect there and he didn't have a translator with him. He took the boos and plowed on in English with complete and total respect for America and Weidman like the boss that he is. Anderson Silva is on another level and it's not disrespectul for him to believe in himself no matter what. That's what's made him The Spider. TTT |

rjbo71 -badboyhere -rjbo71 -badboyhere -Godmode -BTT-RyannVonDoom -MMAtador - He's been disrespecting fighters for some time now with that classless style of fighting. It's been accepted for a longtime since he always gets the win. Times up..... He got what he deserved.This 100% first off, youre fkn ignorant.. im not wrong.. that's why you try and attack a screen name when I gave you plenty of examples of many other fighters. ive been here since before 2001 and youre probably exactly the kind of guy you've mentioned.. yeah i did have badboygear back in the day..u get it? since 2001.. long before it was popular here and it was a nickname from where I trained, because yes I did tend to wear the shorts often.. ive trained with the likes of tim credeur(often in my garage), ricco rodriguez, pete spratt, carlao prater, mike altman, sam atkins, Torrez Aponte, yves Edwards, Draculino, and many others... artless brawls??? lol I suppose all the great boxers I mentioned and Anderson were all artless.... ITS A FKN CAGE FIGHT DUDE!!! again... stick to karate tournaments at church and practice your katas and you'll be happy... |

Second off, No affliction or badboy has ever been in my wardrobe. Hahahaha Thirdly, as envious of your past training partners as I am (I have trained with one of the best - at least soon to be best too) it really does nothing for your position. I am a big fans of Credeur and Edwards and I doubt they would back you up on this. You are attracted to the drama as evidenced by your Screen name and the fact that you like to wear clothing that calls attention to yourself. SO it is no surprise to me you like guys that bring the drama. Personally I respect a guy more who goes in takes care of business and does not need the drama or need to clown on his opponent to get an edge (Though I do not really think that is why SIlva does it). Yes I think Anderson is a beautiful pugilist and unmatched in his ability to slip punches and counter strikes BUT, his antics are Bullshit. |
Edited: 07/15/13 2:12 AM Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 1857 |
Church, karate tournaments and katas..... Yes for those offended for antics inside a cage fight and or boxing. Affliction and badboy not in your wardrobe... Who gives a shit? It's been in many wardrobes of posers & fighters and youre an idiot for thinking you can determine anything about anyone because of shorts that we're pretty much the only great shorts for mma at that time, which is the time I acquired the nickname. 1998 roughly. You doubt credeur and Edwards would back me up on this?? I'll tell u what ... Since you doubt it , why don't you quit runnin your mouth and put some money on it? start at $1000 & go up as high as u want.. As far as drama, If I wanted it, i wouldn't need clothing or a fkn screen name to get it... You failed psychology didn't you? My name has never brought drama in the 13+ years that I've been on here except from your punk ass. As far as what you respect, it doesn't matter.. You're not in the cage. You're not anderson silva, and you dont have to watch the fights...so do yourself a favor and don't watch any of the great fighters of the past and present who in your opinion have no art involved, who practiced these antics and those who took a chance making the fights fun for the fans and bringing some excitement to break up the monotony of countless hours in the gym doing the same thing over and over when they know the risks involved of using those tactics. |

badboyhere - Church, karate tournaments and katas..... Yes for those offended for antics inside a cage fight and or boxing. LOL whatever. No drama? Look at you in this thread. Your emotional tirade has not proven anything. For someone who thinks so little of opinions like mine you sure are awfully upset about it. Next thing you will want to meet up for an internet challenge (dont bother, LOL). And no there wont be any money at least not from me. why dont you just ask them. You can mischarachterize my position all you want but the truth is that with all your emotional ranting you have yet to support your position. Other than to pull the tired montra that if your not a fighter then you can not have an opinion. Obviously, thats not true In my opinion as an mma fan clowning an opponent does not make the fight fun - it makes it look like a wwe battle. ANd as far as respect that opponent being clowned put the hours in the gym too and that.. should be respected. |

rjbo71 -badboyhere - Church, karate tournaments and katas..... Yes for those offended for antics inside a cage fight and or boxing. lol emotional tirade??? prove anything??? what is there to prove other than the fact that I called you out for you doubting ive ever trained with yves and tim and you wont back your doubts with $.. so if youre gonna doubt me because youre so "sure" that I havent and you think your psychology 101 classes have helped you read minds, then why not win some money in the process to help pay for that waste of time class youre in? gotta love it... you doubt me, but you wont back up the call out.. typical around here... failed to support my ranting????? are you blind, cant read, or do you have alzheimers? I think you need to scroll back a few pages and RE-READ and also take notice to those who support my opinion!!! I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion.. I said YOU have no right to JUDGE what it takes to win a fight, especially at that level... DIFFERENCE: opinion--what you personally think about silvas antics Judging what it takes to win--actually being in the cage, whats worked in the past, whats also worked against top rank contenders countless times, and whats worked by many other fighters in the past to establish crowd momentum, and to employ a strategy to get Weidman to move in and then counter. you'll never lose in most cases in your own opinions, so you can sleep well tonight.. --however, when you go and think you can read into someone because of badboy shorts and a nickname from 15 years ago, which is probably about as old as your IQ(also 15) you've failed miserably.. |

OK. You are an idiot. Reading comprehension? WHere did I say I doubted who you trained with? you really are too stupid to even have fun arguing the point. your not even addressing the points being discussed any more. I am sure in your head you are making great points and really "pwning" me, LOL! Drama, drama, drama.. just what I would expect from someone with the screenname badboy. |
Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 1859 |
rjbo71 - WHAT YOU WROTE: WHere did I say I doubted who you trained with? I am a big fans of Credeur and Edwards and I doubt they would back you up on this. Did you write this or your gay Siamese twin??? EXACTLY.. that's you doubting who I trained with... yep, youre still the idiot.. you don't even remember what you wrote.. the only drama began when I addressed all my points and YOU told me to pull my head out of andersons ass... I was pulling for Weidman first of all and I was here to discuss if silva was respectful or not.. so even though the fighter I wanted to win, won, I still defended the position of Anderson silva and his methods.. THE END!! another fail on your behalf.. youre not a good mind reader and you shouldn't watch the UFC, especially if youre feeling sorry for Forest griffin when he ran out of the ring... ive argued the point, youre just too stupid to remember what you've said and you CANT address the points ive made with past and current fighters... update me oh wise one..... what points have I not addressed? I believe ive addressed all of your retarded accusations and even put some money on the table.... all I see is you dodging the obvious... the fact that youre wrong about your assumptions.. if you want my opinions on this thread, go back and read.. you might learn something. getting a lil worked up sugar tits?? ;) |

JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU A FEW DAYS AGO... YOUVE GOT A LOT TO LEARN! From: Underground Blog Member Since: 12/3/08 Posts: 12477 Suffering a knockout loss to Chris Weidman after doing a lot of clowning around in the cage, a lot of people pointed to Silva as having a lack of respect for his opponent which led to his loss. In interview yesterday with Brazil's Globo TV, Silve said that was not the case at all, citing his antics as 'part of the show': "If Muhammad Ali came up saying I wasn't humble, then I'd think if I was humble or not," he said in a Sunday interview on Brazil's Globo TV. "There was no lack of respect. I respect everybody. All the provocation, hands down... It should continue, it's part of the show" "Nobody likes to lose," Silva said. "I train four months to win. But you end [up] learning with your mistakes, and I learned the worst way possible. After everything that happened, we calm down and I realized I had something to question, even question Anderson Silva. I lost to myself, and that's the worst loss. Losing by knockout shakes you, [it] will be in history, but will leave a lesson." "Everybody has to retire, but it's not my time yet," Silva said. "I'll get a rematch. Chris gave me this opportunity and we're fighting again. That's another chance to overcome, reinvent myself as a person and athlete." |

Wow! ARe you drunk? All the time? Here are your statements... "ive trained with the likes of tim credeur(often in my garage), ricco rodriguez, pete spratt, carlao prater, mike altman, sam atkins, Torrez Aponte, yves Edwards" "Thirdly, as envious of your past training partners as I am (I have trained with one of the best - at least soon to be best too) it really does nothing for your position. I am a big fans of Credeur and Edwards and I doubt they would back you up on this." " what is there to prove other than the fact that I called you out for you doubting ive ever trained with yves and tim" "WHere did I say I doubted who you trained with?"
WHere did I say I doubted who you trained with?
I am a big fans of Credeur and Edwards and I doubt they would back you up on this."
I mean just based on the above exchange - All I can say is you have a dizzying logic.
As far as that article you posting after stating I have alot to learn.. DO you really think that statement matched with the article posted makes any sense? LOL at your IQ remark.. I have never had a discusssion with somebody as nonsensical as you are in over ten years on this board. are you aware of what a n amazing accomplishment that is?
Is this a troll? or are you really this confused? "--however, when you go and think you can read into someone because of badboy shorts and a nickname from 15 years ago, which is probably about as old as your IQ(also 15) you've failed miserably.." Nooo... I think you have lived up to my assumptions about you beautifully. LOL! Peace brother, I cannot do this with you anymore. I am afraid you will hurt yourself. |

Mr. MURRAY offered the following:
WHEREAS, The policy pursued by the military authorities having charge of the volunteer militia of this State, in the prosecution of the war, in refusing furloughs to our sick and wounded soldiers, whereby they could return to their homes for the restoration of their health, until their recovery was beyond reasonable hope, is a needless and cruel sacrifice of the lives of our citizen soldiery--detrimental to the public service by discouraging enlistments, and creating a feeling of hostility to the war; and,
WHEREAS, The Legislature of Indiana has already placed the necessary means in the hands of the Governor to avert, as far as possible, the sad calamities of this war, which is filling our State with
page: 166[View Page 166]desolated homes, and is still willing to adopt any means in its power to save the lives of those who have generously and patriotically offered them to the service of their country for the restoration of the Union; therefore,
Be it Resolved by the Senate, the House concurring, That His Excellency, Oliver P. Morton, together with our Senators and Representatives in Congress, be, and they are hereby, respectfully requested to use their influence with the War Department in such manner as shall procure for each sick and wounded Indiana soldier a furlough home at the expense of the Government, whenever the Regimental or Hospital Surgeon shall certify that such sick or wounded soldier is not likely to be fit for duty within twenty days.
Resolved, That suitable arrangements also be made whereby all such furloughed soldiers of this State shall be reported to the Adjutant General of the State, their names, places of residence, and the time for which they have been furloughed, in order that, at the expiration of their furloughs, or at such time after the expiration thereof as they shall be declared fit for duty by competent Surgeons at their place of residence, all such soldiers may by the Adjutant General of the State be ordered back to their several regiments.
Resolved, That upon the passage of this concurrent resolution, a copy thereof be presented to the Governor, and one forwarded to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress by the Secretary of the Senate.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously.

Car crashes through the store front of Quebrada bakery
WELLESLEY, Mass. (WHDH) -- Customers at a local bakery got quite a jolt Sunday morning when a car crashed right through the front window.
"It looked like it just crashed right through. People were freaking out," said one customer.
Around 10:00 in the morning, a car pulling into a parking spot, jumped the curb in Wellesley Plaza and lurched through the store front. Ten different people called 911 within two minutes. Police said there was screaming in the background of the calls. When they arrived, they found a seating section had been wiped out along with an industrial refrigerator.
"There was like a big bang. Kind of scary."
Regular customers said given the setup inside, it's hard to belief no one was seriously hurt.
"People sit at the window and drink coffee and read the paper and stuff, and then there's display cases, refrigerated against that wall, and then tables along the side wall all the way to the back," explained one woman.
Two ambulances were called to check on customers, and the driver, finding only two minor injuries. Investigators are still trying to figure out what was happening behind the wheel before that car crashed right through Quebrada Bakery.
"It was very dramatic."
Just before the car went crashing through this wall, police and an ambulance had been at the bakery helping a customer who was having a medical problem.

Bill Clinton tinkered with his 50-minute stemwinder of a convention speech for "weeks and weeks," his longtime friend Terry McAuliffe said.
"He really took it on himself and said, 'It's my responsibility to lay out the case for what President Obama has done,'" McAuliffe said.
Clinton won rave reviews for explaining, in folksy and often combative detail, Obama's accomplishments since taking office.
Asked if Clinton is frustrated with the administration's seeming inability to communicate those achievements with similar clarity, McAuliffe said: "He doesn't talk like that."
McAuliffe, an all-but-certain candidate for the Virginia governorship next year, was glad-handing and signing autographs in the streets of Charlotte, the site of this year's Democratic National Convention.

The upcoming Piedmont College Wind Ensemble concert will have a special meaning for the thousands of band students who studied under Dr. Archie Sharretts during his 35 years in public and private education.
Ensemble director Vickie Pinson said all former students of Sharretts are invited to the free concert, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., April 18, at the college's Center for Worship and Music in Demorest. A reception for Sharretts will follow the concert. The ensemble includes Piedmont students as well as area high school and community musicians. The concert will include a variety of Sousa marches and other concert band pieces, Pinson said.
Sharretts served in the U.S. Air Force Band from 1948 to 1954 before entering Florida State University to earn a bachelor's degree in music. He later earned a master's and doctorate from FSU. He taught band in Stephens County from 1956 to 1987, and he has also taught at Piedmont, Truett-McConnell, and Toccoa Falls colleges. He was conductor of the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra from 1976 to 2000.

I don't like talking about this. I still can't believe what happened and I don't want to admit it. It's not my fault, it really isn't. Look at me, I'm as innocent as can be. I really wouldn't do this. For once, take this seriously. I'm not kidding about this, this isn't a ridiculous joke.
I'm not sure how to start, but I'll try to. This is so horrifying to tell and I've been feeling nauseous ever since. I've vomited about three times now, I hate this. I hate this so much, everyone. I won't be able to answer questions for a while. I'm sorry for once, everyone. I'd rather keep this quiet, however the others haven't seen this. It was only me and Tsurugi, no one else.
I'm going to share what happened. I was talking to Tsurugi(best-Tsurugi, that famous blogger you all know and fucking love for a reason I can't comprehend) and we were making jokes about everyone since that's the only topic we can talk about together. We hate each other, don't forget that. I wouldn't want to waste more time with that pathetic scum of a clown.
But that's not the most important part of the story. This isn't about us actually, this is about Tenma. He was dribbling on the pavement while we were talking. That fucking piece of shit waved at us, we decided to ignore him since no one likes him anyway except those losers. Okay, that's not true. We didn't fucking ignore him, we insulted him until oblivion. He needed to know his place.
Okay, okay. So he waved at us, right? God, how do I fucking tell this. How do I even fucking START. Okay. He tripped on the pavement afterward, how SILLY. It wasn't. He tripped over his fucking BALL and snapped his NECK. Can you imagine that, someone snapping his neck right IN FRONT of you? Yeah, no kidding. It was frightening, I wanted to shit my pants for the first time in my life. What just happened? I was about to cry, tears were forming and I was sure they were rolling down my cheeks. I didn't want to cry, I'm not a PUSSY. But he, you know he.
The only funny part about this is that Tsurugi vomited on him.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Press Ganey in September 2013.
Interview Details – It is composed of the usual phone screens. The next step is a face to face where the candidate is evaluated for basic development skills and personality fit for the intended team.
Interview Question – What is one of your weaknesses and how did you overcome it? View Answer
Negotiation Details – Pretty much take it or leave it. At the time, I felt that this was the best group of people that I had met during the job search process, the company was doing exciting things so I chose to sacrifice a little money for the expected enjoyment of my work life.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Press Ganey.
Interview Details – Long and drawn out. Had to pester HR to schedule and to receive feedback. Interviewed for over 4 hours of my time and have yet to receive any feedback, offer or even next steps. However, the time spent during the interviews went very well. The people seemed committed, hard working and very smart. The interviews had all the hallmarks of 'things going well". Very surprised to have not heard a thing...no choice but to blame a low functioning recruiter/ HR person.
Interview Question – The questions were designed to get a real feel for your personality, often lead with "Tell us about a time when..." View Answer

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Press Ganey.
Interview Details – The interviewing process has changed numerous times during my tenure there and has continued to change; it is constantly being tweaked and modified. Any insight on my interview process would be mostly moot. It was intimidating - it was a panel of the managers where I had to present a few of the reports that, if i were to get the job, would be presenting to the clients. They were looking for presenting skills and personality. Now, however, they look more for healthcare experience, which helps, but is not as critical as the other soft skills. Personally, with the change in their culture, I wouldn't go back to this company if they doubled my current salary. Employee sat has plummeted and for a company that tried to teach other organizations to survey their employees, I found it sad that they didn't last year because the results of the previous year were abysmal.
Interview Question – Again, the process has changed. I had to present THEIR data to a panel of managers - without having any knowledge of the material. It was more for presenting skill, but it was quite intimidating! Answer Question
Negotiation Details – not much room for negotiation.

Interview Details – I applied by submitting my resume through Monster. No response, but I didn't give up because I thought I seemed like a really good fit for the job. A couple weeks later, I tried again, and this time received a phone call from HR. We did a phone screen, and then later then brought me in for an interview.
Interview Question – If you weren't working in this field, what would be your dream job? View Answer
Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate. I wish that I would have; I know others that did.

Difficult Interview
The process took 6+ weeks - interviewed at Press Ganey in July 2009.
Interview Details – Press Ganey has canned questions that every interviewer is assigned. They have a huge group of people interview you, and the questions sometimes overlap. I would say to be yourself and make sure to have lots of examples of your work that you can use in the interview. They are very small-town oriented, so be aware that everyone knows everyone, and there is not a single secret in this company.

The Federal Housing Administration's Acting Commissioner, Carol J. Galante, announced Dec. 18 that she would implement substantial reforms to shore up the government mortgage program, which reported Nov. 14 that it was $16.3 billion in the red, Mortgage Daily reported.
The changes Galante will implement include limiting borrowers with credit scores less than 620 to a 43 percent total debt-to-income ratio. Borrowers with high debt-to-income ratios will be subject to manual underwriting and potentially to higher down payment requirements. The change is expected to cut claim rates by 20 percent.
The FHA also will eliminate its standard, fixed-rate home-equity conversion mortgages — a reverse mortgage program that allowed seniors to draw a large lump sum at closing, ranging from 62 to 77 percent of the property's appraised value. Many seniors now are unable to keep up with payments and facing foreclosure.
Additional changes include reducing FHA market share by cutting loan-to-value ratios to 95 percent on loans greater than $625,000 and more closely scrutinizing borrowers with prior foreclosures.
"I've been working closely with (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) Secretary (Shaun) Donovan and Acting Commissioner Galante over the past few weeks on ways we can put FHA on sound financial footing," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said in a news release, Mortgage Daily reported. Corker is member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. "While this is only a first step, I am encouraged that Acting Commissioner Galante has committed to structural reforms that we both believe put FHA in a much stronger position," he said.

William Torgerson Assistant Professor of Writing, Institute for Core Studies First-Year Writing Program, Institute for Writing email@example.com MFA in Creative Writing, Georgia College and State University
Taking a cue from Nicholas Carr's book The Shallows: What The Internet is Doing to Our Brains, I ask the writers I work with to consider a series of questions: Where are you spending your time online? Toward what purpose? What does it mean to be digitally literate? These are all questions students investigate as they begin the composition course I teach and work their way to writing what we call a "Digital Literacy Narrative."
Conversation is a major feature in the classes I teach, and these conversations take the form of face-to-face discussions, hand-written notes, Tweets, annotations of texts, and through the creation of a short documentary film. The notion of what it means to read and write is expanded. Students have the freedom to take on additional inquiry projects of their choosing and write a documentary-style research text that weaves scholarly sources with a personal story. Final writing portfolios are turned in electronically through the Digication ePortfolio platform. It's my hope as a writing teacher to reinvigorate intellectual curiosity and to begin conversations that will continue long after the semester ends.
Seven years ago, catapulted by a few great books, inspiring teachers, and time working within the community of the National Writing Project, I began a transformation from high school English teacher and basketball coach to writer and professor. I write novels, scripts,articles about the teaching of writing, and have a "Prof. Torg" podcast which I publish to iTunes. Recently, I finished my first film, For the Love of Books. It was accepted to the Phenom International Film Festival. I'll go anywhere a story takes me.
Cherokee McGhee Press has published two of my novels. The first, Love on the Big Screen, tells the story of a college freshman whose understanding of love has been shaped by late-eighties romantic comedies. In writing that book, I drew upon my early dating experiences, my time riding the bench of a small-college basketball team, and my devotion to 80s films such as Say Anything and Sixteen Candles. In writing, I partially tried to answer the question, How does the media we consume impact the way that we think? My adaptation of that novel won the Grand Prize of the Rhode Island International Screenplay Competition.
Horseshoe is my most recent novel and is set in a fictionalized version of my hometown of Winamac, Indiana. It's a place where everyone knows everybody else's business. Writer Bryan Fuhurness endorsed the novel by writing, "What Sherwood Anderson would have written if he had a sense of humor." The work of writers such as Richard Russo, Jane Smiley, Andre Dubus, and Richard Ford helped me to think about the ways that I would write my own novel about life in a small town. As someone who values conversation, I hope you'll take the time to get in touch. You can write to me via Twitter @BillTorg or an email at <firstname.lastname@example.com>.

By PAUL SIMS
Two Starkville churches have teamed up to bring a contemporary Christmas concert to the community and Mississippi State University Sunday.
First Baptist and Calvary Baptist churches will perform ŌĆ£God Coming DownŌĆØ in the Bettersworth Auditorium in Lee Hall on the MSU campus.
There are three features distinguishing this yearŌĆÖs performance from what FBC has done in the past with its Christmas performances, said Tom Jenkins, FBCŌĆÖs music minister. These are location, the combined church choirs ŌĆō including about 100 voices and around 25 musicians ŌĆō and the fact it will be a contemporary worship concert.
This incorporates a few favorite carols ŌĆ£but in a new, fresh, contemporary format,ŌĆØ
Jenkins said.
ŌĆ£I think something like this is a really great opportunity to enlarge our boundaries,ŌĆØ said Terrell Jackson, music minister at CBC.
ŌĆ£There are always challenges in sharing the conductorŌĆÖs baton. But the benefits far outweigh the challenges,ŌĆØ Jenkins said. ŌĆ£And in a work like this, the larger the performance group, the better the presentationŌĆÖs going to be,ŌĆØ Jackson said.
ŌĆ£The combination is going to make for a fun yet powerful evening. ThereŌĆÖs new freshness and energy by combining the groups,ŌĆØ Jenkins said.
Jackson and Jenkins are co-conductors and co-worship leaders.
They described the concert ŌĆśs message.
ŌĆ£The central theme of our program is hope,ŌĆØ Jenkins said. ŌĆ£One of the narrations says donŌĆÖt lose home; God sees you and he cares for you,ŌĆØ Jackson said.
Jenkins added that the perception is that parking is bad, but there are four parking lots which are free and open to the public on Sunday night.
Admission is free but organizers will take an offering which will benefit the Golden Triangle Life Choices Crisis Pregnancy Center.
The program starts at 6 p.m. Sunday. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
For information, call 323-5633 or 323-1448.
