For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.
O'Hanrahan, a hard-living Chicago college professor, and Lucy Danton, his eager young student, embark on a quest for a lost biblical gospel that takes them through Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and America.
Dead of night. Salonika, Greece, December 1939. A clandestine order of monks embarks on a desperate mission: to transport a mysterious vault to a hiding place high in the Italian Alps. Its sinister contents, concealed for centuries, could rip apart the Christian world. Now, as the Nazi threat marches inexorably closer, good men and evil will be drawn into a violent and deadly hunt, sparking a relentless struggle that could forever change the world as we know it.
'Something is murdering my men.'
"Thus reads the message received from a Nazi commander stationed in a small castle high in the remote Transylvanian Alps. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims.
"When an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find something that's both powerful and terrifying. Panicked, the Nazis bring in a local expert on folklore--who just happens to be Jewish--to shed some light on the mysterious happenings. And unbeknownst to anyone, there is another visitor on his way--a man who awoke from a nightmare and immediately set out to meet his destiny.
"The battle has begun: On one side, the ultimate evil created by man, and on the other...the unthinkable, unstoppable, unknowing terror that man has inevitably awakened."
"The secret? Irrefutable proof of a female Messiah named Sophia. Born in the Holy Land in A.D. 310, Sophia was known for performing healing miracles. Her divinity so threatened early Christian dogma on the inferiority of women that she was executed while still a girl by church authorities.
"In the present, Zoe Ridgeway, and art broker, visits Switzerland with her husband, Seth, where she expects to purchase the estate of a German art collector. But before Zoe can complete the transaction, she and Seth are drawn into a thousand-year-old web of conspiracy, murder, and intrigue that begins and eds with the mystery of Sophia--and all the powerful forces who seek to protect their patriarchies from a divinely feminine truth."
In Boston, a young woman finds herself pregnant--even though she is still a virgin. In Ireland, another young woman discovers she is in the same impossible condition. And in cities all around the world, medical authorities are overwhelmed by epidemics, droughts, famines, floods, and worse. It all feels like a sign that something awful is coming. Anne Fitzgerald, a former nun turned private investigator, is hired by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate the immaculate conceptions. Even as she comes to care about and trust the young women, she realizes that both are in great danger. Terrifying forces of light and darkness are gathering. Stepping into uncharted territory where the unknown is just the beginning, Anne must discover the truth--to save the young women, to save herself, and to protect the future of all mankind.

The Complete Arbitrage Deskbook
The Complete Arbitrage Deskbook (By Stephane Reverre)
Edition 2001 http://astore.amazon.com/zw-20/detail/0071359958
Executive Summary by Tobias M. Dijkstra
This book describes tools, cases, arbitrage in stocks, futures, indices and money markets. It is a manual for professionals and non-professionals on mathematics, fundamentals and risk management, Stephane Reverre practiced this as former head of index arbitrage and quantitive trading for Société Générale.
Part 1: Theory and Tools Introduction Stocks Futures and Related Instruments Money Markets Aggregate Indicators: Stock Indices
Part 2: Financial Valuation and Risk Analysis Valuations Risk Analysis
Part 3: Common Arbitrage Situations Index Arbitrage Risk Arbitrage Risk Arbitrage steps Business Politics: Failure of Mergers Pair Trading and Technical Trading
Part 1: Theory and Tools Introduction This book gives a step-by-step guide to arbitrage. Cases are discussed from day-to-day and hour by hour. The book learns the reader to follow this process. It has has real-life examples of arbitrage situations in the past. The book contains formulas for the whizzkids between the investors community. Though it is not only useful for them. From the practicle examples everybody reader can get wiser. The writer tells about his experience as employee in a French bank. He tells about Index Arbitrage and Risk Arbitrage, Pair Trading and Technical Trading as common arbitrage situations. Before taking part in a deal the financial valuation and risk analysis in this book reduces the chance of mistakes. In this deskbook you can also read how the money markets works, futures and relates instruments, aggregate indicators like stock indices. Stocks An arbitrageur have to look at the availability of listed share capital, below in an example I explain why. Issuance from bonds and convertible bonds has no consequence on the positions held during arbitrage. There is an exception at conversion of outstanding bonds. It can influence the outstanding capital therefore it must be tracked. At the dealingroom a lot of these issues are passed by. If the trader sees a lot of conversions he takes this in deliberation. A stock will be analyzed by its price, cash flow and number of outstanding share capital. Futures and Related Instruments Futures are contracts to enable buyers to have products for a certain price on a certain date. Financial futures are more traded then agriculatural and commodity futures. Futures are needed to give farmers and other interests an insurance for their business. Money Markets With money markets we mean transactions around borrowing or lending and the cashlows between them. To prevent mistakes it's wise to research interest rates and overnight financing. This relates to day-to-day funding of an arbitrage activity which is crucial to know for profit optimalization by a treasurer. Aggregate Indicators: Stock Indices Stock indices are as old as stocks are in circulation. The meaning of the indices is to converge all the information around the return on investment of equities in one number. The index is a computation of the average individual prices. The index indicates the general profitability of a particular industry, not the specific events influencing the welfare of corporations. Index financiers follow the ups and downs of indices to select and enclose the best companies. For example, in 1999 Dow Jones included Nasdaq stocks in its index, more a picture of the market then. That said. Monitoring company news is also significant to a better reflection of what happens in the index. Another reason for the relevance of indices is that several futures and options are linked to them. These can be applied as an insurance during bear markets. There is a lot of liquidity in this instruments, to simply protect capital and due to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), this model argues that you get burned by a lack of diversification. Markets with most of the cash in the world and a range of sectors is the best place to diversify assets. By the way investors appreciate the index for its liquidity, low price and easy to trade futures. This is a good option for investors for who it's to difficult to find enough capitalization on particular investing opportunities.
Part 2: Financial Valuation and Risk Analysis Valuations Definition: Valuation is uniting what's analyzed previously step-by-step, with the purpose to value everything. Two distinctive keywords: 1. Trust: trust is reached with downgrading the unsecurity by harsh handling the protocol. 2. Sense: choose the procedures that covers the investment situation and liquidation value as a whole and reflects the reality where its embedded. Risk Analysis It's better to lose not money; one of the investing rules of Warren Buffett is: lose not money; though this can happen. Even if one did everything in his analysis to wipe out uncertainty. Overcome losing capital through measure the stake of capital at risk. Restrict loses is basically above return on assets. The market is to dynamic to always define what the loses are in positions. But there is no excuse to not knowing what the loses can be outermost. Risk management mechanics, for example a stop loss of 10% and using trailing stops to protect profits is appropriate at Zenway Group.
Part 3: Common Arbitrage Situations Index Arbitrage and Risk Arbitrage Risk Arbitrage has its ground in trading on news regarding companies and their course. Index Arbitrage is theorethical: it is based on daily trading deviation of the algabraic matrix. Risk Arbitrage is a miscellany of hypothetical and theorethical valuation. Therefore developing a proper personal judgment is necessary to cover the risk involved in the hypothetical part. With risk arbitrage instead of index arbitrage we are out of the secure situation of the theorethical pure algebraic index arbitrage. Thereabout application of man's view is the key. Risk Arbitrage steps: · Must be a cash-deal · Does the managers not getting more than $200.000 per year. Is their salary appropiate by the current company succes and durability? · When does the event actually take place? · Is the takeover bid to high for the companies net-worth? · Is this a must-do-deal? · Follow shareholder actions of the attorneys ( for exameple who want a fair higher price for their shares) to gather more information (in the Supreme Court of the State of New York or elsewhere) · Look at what the companies are doing in the run to the final closing bell of the deal, to determine if the companies have better offers and opportunities for them from others. Better takeover bids or other unexpected entanglements are something to be aware of. · It is likelihood that the announced merger will actually be approved and go through? (go to the meeting in the pressroom or boardroom where the deal is approved) · Does the deal go through since there are financing problems or unexpected related issues, rejections by law and policy in the field of business competition or otherwise for example? Government institutions like SEC and FCC. · What is the track record of both investors, do they keep there word in deals? · Do the investors have enough cash? · Annualized 20% expected return · Estimated success probability of 80% · Moneymanagement: Advise is: 5-10% use of your portofolio · Write down 5 positive and 3 negative points about the Risk Arbitrage · Maximum margin of 25% portofolio net-worth Business Politics: Failure of Mergers Arbitrageurs don't cope with the organizational convergence of corporations after a merger. Though as shareholders they have to see the economical advantages of a merger to gain more financial strenght. The deal can not got through if shareholders see the dangers for destroying their share's value after a failed merger. Shareholders have to track their management's decisions and if needful place new officials. It's democratic if shareholders take action. They are the owners of the company. The management are only the executors and are working as a agency for them. We have here the agency problem: the management is not conducting in the best interests of shareholders. Carl Icahn is one of the best examples of shareholders activism. Cases like this often happen, as to that arbitrageurs have to determine the chance the deal will be persecute as proposed. Pair Trading and Technical Trading Pair trading is considering the supposition: information of particular industries influence the price of stocks, stocks in one industry are fluctuating the same. Though every pair of stocks who have the same characteristics can be put under the umbrella of pair trading. At technical trading, traders are looking for patterns in the markets without valuation procedures. This can be done. When we know the value of a corporation.

I told you I was down the rabbit hole of Creators, the designer's market in Japan. (Remember? Japanese Etsy?) And now, I think I have found the best t-shirt EVER in the history of existence. From designer ti.geR.
Yes, an Old T-shirt featuring, yup, Old People.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this. Perhaps it's the spirit of lightness that comes through. It's not that the shirt is making fun of old people. Instead, it's showing smiles and activity and levity and really, it feels like it's honoring old age and not ignoring it. I love it.
Perhaps Fairy Tales are more your thing? That's available too.
Another winner? Art Gallery. Look at the guy playing the flute! Genius!
Could you want more than this? The gallery crowd, with their messenger bags slung across their backs? I adore you.
Also, ANIMALS!
And as someone with two degrees in history, I am all kinds of geeking out about this History t-shirt. (Plus, how adorable is she in that mustache?)
I think we need to see this one again.
Famous, and infamous, historical figures wearing t-shirts. And yes, I like that ti.geR wasn't afraid to acknowledge the ugly parts of our history by showing all kinds of historical figures, not just the pleasant ones. (Can you identify them?)
Not the t-shirt type? Phone cases.
So, if someone could get their hands on that Old t-shirt for me, and send it on over to Massachusetts, I'd be mighty grateful.
And ti-geR? Thank you for showing the t-shirt world how it should be done!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee says former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify to Congress about the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Wednesday that Petraeus, who resigned from the CIA post on Friday because of an extra-marital affair, indicated his willingness to testify. No date for his testimony has been set.
She said his testimony to her committee will be limited to the Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others. No date for his testimony has been set. Petraeus was CIA director at the time.

Jessica Earley's HYPER-Bolic kicks off our own Summer of Love
Published: April 24, 2013
It's hard being a hippie these days. As someone who spent his formative years in sandals and tie-dyes, I've always felt more of an affinity for the art and attitudes of the late 1960s than the Reagan '80s I grew up in. While Don Draper and the Mad Men crew may be moving into the Summer of Love, here in the real world "peace, love and understanding" seem in short supply.
In the shadow of the Boston Marathon bombing, it was gratifying to see so many families around Lake Eola for April 20's Earth Day celebration. But everywhere else I turn this week, I see reminders (from congressional gun-control cowardice to presidential poison pen-pals) that the hopeful spirit of the '60s is long dead, replaced by terror and ennui.
Perhaps that's why I was so pleased to attend last Friday's HYPER-Bolic, Orlando artist Jessica Earley's hyper-personal, one-night-only theater piece.
Just the description alone – "an experimental performance by Jessica Earley featuring hyperbole, puppetry, dance, awkwardness, honesty and video projections to tell a story about heartbreak and healing" – was enough to conjure images of the kind of experimental performance art that was all the rage 40-plus years ago, but too often earns eye-rolls from today's cynical audiences.
"Hyperbolic" seems like the last adjective one might apply to the demure Earley, who I previously knew mostly through her visual art and past collaborations with performance artist Brian Feldman. But this aptly named show gave full-throated voice to the pain – sometimes deeply heartfelt, sometimes amusingly parodic – induced by a romantic breakup she experienced last year.
The hourlong performance, mounted on a white-sheeted stage at Ivanhoe Village's the Venue, began with a short shadow-puppet play illustrating hyperbolic cliches about love, then launched into multimedia vignettes skipping randomly through the five stages of grief.
First Earley warbled a verse from "The Greatest Love of All," then she masturbated with a giant sewing needle while arguing with an oversized button that only said "So?" She wrapped herself in a blanket emblazoned with a life-sized image of her ex, then an echo machine was used to simulate the drone of a black hole with a human voice.
One especially provocative segment juxtaposed an oversized dreamcatcher in which Earley was ensnared (with the help of backup dancers Lindsay Smith and Stephanie Lister) against footage of Hitler, which Earley later said represented the impossibility of human perfection. The choreographic center of the evening involved Earley mimicking the poses of stereotypically happy couples, gesturing desperately to keep pace with the prerecorded video of herself projected on the back wall.
The funniest portions reflected on the uneasy role social media plays in our modern love lives, with Earley seeking solace from artificially intelligent chatbots, virtual Ouija boards and clueless text messages from well-meaning acquaintances.

Hidden heroes
When it comes to the promise of a rising middle class in emerging markets, the lion's share of attention has for good reason been visited upon China. Yet several other big, emerging markets offer great promise, and not only the other BRICs (Brazil, Russia, and India).
In this report, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Deloitte) and Planet Retail provide an overview of the outlook and opportunity regarding eight key emerging markets. They are Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, and Vietnam.
These otherwise disparate countries have one thing in common: they are all on the radar screen of some of the world's leading retailers, all are likely to play an important role in the further globalization of retailing.

UNFPA Global Population Policy Update
World Summit Commits to Universal Access to Reproductive Health by 2015
ISSUE 56 - 19 September 2005
Below is a UNFPA press release on the conclusion of the three-day 2005 World Summit, which took place on 14-16 September at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Press Release
World Summit Commits to Universal Access to Reproductive Health by 2015
Largest-Ever Gathering of Leaders Resolves to End Gender Discrimination;
Declares "Progress for Women is Progress for All"
UNITED NATIONS, New York, 19 September - World leaders resolved to achieve universal access to reproductive health by 2015, promote gender equality and end discrimination against women, as they ended their three-day 2005 World Summit on Friday night.
They made those commitments by adopting the Summit Outcome recommended by the General Assembly. By the terms of their agreement, the leaders would integrate the goal of access to reproductive health into national strategies to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to end poverty, reduce maternal death, promote gender equality and combat HIV/AIDS.
"Five years after the Millennium Declaration, the world has reaffirmed the need to keep gender equality, HIV/AIDS and reproductive health at the top of its agenda," said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, Executive Director of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. "This outcome is a success for millions of women, men and young people all over the world, whose appeals have been heard. We must now focus our energy on fulfilling the commitments made by world leaders."
"The leaders' resolve to bring reproductive health to all has confirmed the vision of the agenda adopted at the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development," said Ms. Obaid. "UNFPA looks forward to working with governments to expand access to comprehensive reproductive health services such as family planning, skilled attendance at birth, emergency obstetric care and the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS."
"We must act now on the commitments and empower the largest-ever generation of young people knocking on adulthood's door," said Ms. Obaid. "We cannot fail and consign them to lives of misery, ill health and unfulfilled dreams. The cost is too terrifying to contemplate."
Turning to women's rights, the world's leaders agreed to promote gender equality and eliminate pervasive gender discrimination with several measures. They would include:
- Eliminating gender inequalities in schools;
- Guaranteeing the free and equal right of women to own and inherit property;
- Ensuring equal access to reproductive health;
- Promoting women's equal access to work;
- Eliminating all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls; and
- Promoting increased women's representation in government decision-making bodies.
The largest-ever gathering of world leaders reaffirmed that the full implementation of the goals and objectives of the Declaration and Platform for Action of the 1995 Beijing Women's Conference is an essential contribution to achieving world development goals. They declared: "We remain convinced that progress for women is progress for all."
Recognizing that HIV/AIDS, malaria and other infectious diseases hampered development and threatened the world, the leaders pledged to increase investments to improve health systems in poor countries. The aim was to provide sufficient supplies, health workers and facilities.
The leaders committed to measures to increase the capacities of adults and adolescents to protect themselves from HIV infection, according to the Summit Outcome. They would also provide stronger leadership; scale up a comprehensive response to achieve multisectoral coverage for prevention, care, treatment and support for those threatened by HIV/AIDS; and mobilize more resources to fully implement the commitments in the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS. Substantial funding, they pledged, would be given to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS and to the anti-HIV/AIDS work of United Nations bodies, according to the agreement.
In actions that recall "Quick Wins" proposed in January 2005 by the development experts of the Millennium Project, the world leaders resolved to urgently carry out initiatives that would improve people's lives immediately. They would act to distribute mosquito nets and eliminate fees for primary schools and, where appropriate, health care services. Expanding access to reproductive health and ending shortages in commodities were among the Millennium Project's proposed "Quick Wins" - priority actions that could bring breathtaking results within three or fewer years.

This newsletter is issued by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in its capacity as secretariat for the biennual International Parliamentarians' Conference on the Implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action (IPCI/ICPD). The first IPCI/ICPD was held in November 2002 in Ottawa, Canada and the second in October 2004 in Strasbourg, France. These dispatches are intended to highlight important developments taking place around the world so that parliamentarians can be kept informed of and learn from the successes, setbacks and challenges encountered by their fellow parliamentarians in other countries and regions in their efforts to promote the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (September 1994, Cairo, Egypt). It should be noted that UNFPA does not necessarily endorse all of the policies described in this newsletter.

Affordable housing rising in Spotsy
A nonprofit that builds affordable housing has plans for a 72-unit apartment complex near Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center.
Community Housing Partners of Christiansburg last week bought an 8.2-acre plot off the U.S. 17 Bypass from the Silver Cos. for about $1.4 million. The site is near a 260-unit apartment complex called Station Square at Cosner's Corner and the soon-to-be-built Virginia Railway Express station.
Also, the Board of Supervisors this month approved a plan for 610 apartments in the area as part of a development called Crossroads Station.
Community Housing Partners' development will be called Overlook Terrace. The cost to develop the property at 4710 Overview Drive, including land acquisition, will be $12.8 million, said Orlando Artze, the nonprofit's chief operating officer. Plans are for two apartment buildings—each with 36 one-, two- and three-bedroom units—and an 1,100-square-foot community room with exercise equipment and space for gatherings.
The land's zoning designation allows apartments, so approval from the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors isn't required.
"This is an area that we have been looking at for a while," Artze said "It's an area where there's been very significant growing demand for rental housing."
The site was also appealing because of its proximity to the hospital and the future VRE station, he said.
The project will receive financing from the Virginia Housing Development Authority's low-income housing tax credit program.
All tenants must fall within income limits set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The gross income of a family of four, for instance, cannot exceed $53,650.
"The goal there would be that the family would not be paying more than 30 percent of their income for rent," Artze said.
Potential tenants, he said, could include teachers, firefighters and police officers. Monthly rent is scheduled to be $1,050 for the 24 three-bedroom apartments, $900 for the 36 two-bedroom units and $750 for the 12 one-bedroom apartments.
The yearlong construction is scheduled to start by the end of the year, Artze said. The complex will meet energy-efficient standards set by an organization called EarthCraft Virginia.
Community Housing Partners has another 40-unit apartment complex in Spotsylvania called Courthouse Green. The company purchased it several years ago and paid $1.8 million to renovate the complex, Artze said.
The nonprofit owns and manages a total of 5,500 apartment units—most of which are in Virginia.

Top 5 Nursing Issues for 2013
I unabashedly love Christmas (I've been known to sneak in holiday tunes before Thanksgiving). But I also love the days after Christmas when I get to take down the tree, reorganize my house, make a list of New Year's resolutions, and get a fresh start on everything from work to working out.
There's something so refreshing about a brand new year and all that it brings, from clean calendar pages to wondering about what the months ahead will hold for us.
For nurse leaders, certain issues, from increasing education to reducing readmissions, will undoubtedly be front and center this year. Here's a look at some of the top issues that will capture our focus in 2013:
1. The ever-expanding role of APRNs
The final rule on physician fees for 2013 allows Medicare to pay Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists for services to the full extent of their state scope of practice. And in many states, APRNs have been fighting for—and winning—autonomy.
But expect the battle to continue into 2013 and beyond; in fact, ANA president Karen Daley tells me via email that it's among the organization's top issues for 2013. "Advanced practice registered nurses in many states still face regulatory barriers preventing them from practicing to their full scope," she said. "These barriers should be removed throughout the country."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Melissa S (2/8/2013 at 7:26 PM)
Agree with the safe staffing point. I believe with appropriate staffing and acuities, we could decrease the fatigue nurses experience.
John Repique (1/24/2013 at 7:44 AM)
I am also very interested in #3 because it is a very complex dilemma for nurse leaders and hospital executives. We definitely need to address the issue of nurse fatigue related to long work hours and shift work. I am pleased that ANA is taking the lead with their "Healthy Nurse" campaign.
Patricia Smith (1/22/2013 at 6:12 PM)
As the founder of the Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project, I am very interested in #3 on the list. Nursing professionals suffer some of the highest levels of compassion fatigue. This secondary traumatic stress syndrome, along with burnout and stress, can devastate the life of a helper if authentic, sustainable self-care isn't practiced on a DAILY basis. I travel nationwide presenting workshops and have found nurses to provide compassionate, high quality care to their patients, but not to themselves. Compassion Satisfaction is the pleasure we derive from our caregiving. These levels must be elevated in order to keep CF levels lower. Healthcare and medical organizations must do their part in helping nurses and other medical professionals to balance their work/life and also allow self-care on the job. It's all possible if someone really cares about staff.

When do they start doing regular ultrasounds?

I had a normal ultrasound at 11 weeks. I agree though, you don't do ultrasounds at all other to date the pregnancy and than a 20 week one unless you're high risk. You normally don't have more than two ultrasounds in a pregnancy.posted 05/07/2012 by HereNow26
Why is your doctor doing ultrasounds at all? Usually you have 1 early ultrasound to "date" the pregnancy and then not again until 18-20 weeks. Are you high risk?posted 05/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer responded during a news conference Saturday afternoon to allegations officers used excessive force during two arrests Thursday that was videotaped and posted on YouTube.
"I will get to the bottom of this. There is an internal investigation in full swing and the investigation will be conducted thoroughly, fairly and as swiftly as possible. I will discover what transpired at 33rd and Seward in its entirety and I will address it properly."
You don't see much of what happened before the neighbor recorded the arrests. An officer can be seen taking down 28-year-old Octavius Johnson, who was having his car towed for expired tags just before 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
"You are hitting him. Why are you hitting him?" One of his younger brothers, Juaquez, was recording with his cellphone. "That's abuse, that's abuse."
An officer walked Juaquez away from the scene, but the 23-year-old returned. A few minutes after the arrest more officers arrived and went after the brother. After a number of officers were in the house, the officer on the ground was shown striking the suspect several times.
Sharee Johnson, who was home during the arrests, is Octavius' mother. "If you see how many police officers were out here you would think we were drug dealers or injured someone. This was over a car."
"We deserve an explanation of why we were treated this way," said Sharon Johnson, Octavius' aunt, who added an officer tipped her over in the doorway trying to get to Juaquez, who had run into the house. "He took my wheelchair and flipped me. I fell and my whole chair was on top of me."
The family says officers took Juaquez's cellphone, but didn't know about the neighbor's recording. "I know this will be a battle," said Sharee. "I pray justice prevails. They crossed the line and know it." The family says police towed four cars, one for being parked in the wrong direction.
The family plans to file a complaint. Octavius and Juaquez are out of jail on bond for the misdemeanor charges of obstruction. Another brother, who was inside the home the entire time, remains in jail on an outstanding warrant. Police say two of the Johnson brothers have a long history of misdemeanor offenses, the youngest had two before this latest incident.
Friday, Robert Wagner criticized the officers involved. Wagner was taken down by police outside of Creighton University Medical Center in May 2011. In court he admitted he punched an officer at the start of the altercation. Even so, Wagner says OPD has a credibility problem in northeast Omaha. "To not feel safe, you can't call the police because you're worried about an assault from the police, but you know there will never be any consequences or repercussions."
Saturday, Chief Schmaderer assured the public the investigation will be thorough. "The final resolution will be fair to the citizens of Omaha, the Omaha Police Department and the specific employees involved so that we can move forward and restore any public trust that may have eroded with this incident."

The Phillies now have the fifth-best team ERA in baseball (3.88), underlining the fact that their success this season has been all about pitching.
The Phillies have reached 86 wins, which matches the prediction many Beerleaguers issued at the start of the season. Most people said they'd finish somewhere in the 86-90 range, but what they didn't predict was just how good the pitching would be. The offense would be a given. The pitching would be the wild card. It's been the opposite.
The Phillies' 3.88 ERA matches the pitching-rich Angels for fifth-best in baseball, and they trail only the Dodgers and Cubs in the National League. It's a dazzling improvement over 2007 (4.73) and 2006 (4.60). At best, the Phils have been just an average, park-adjusted staff over the last five seasons, and in the previous two, they were borderline brutal. (There was a point in '07, before he took one off the leg against Colorado, when Kyle Kendrick gave the Phillies the best chance to win in the starting rotation. Good times).
Quality starts have become so standard, they're easily taken for granted. They have 83 of them. They also have 11 shutouts, second in the NL. They are 73-0 when leading after eight innings, a testament to Brad Lidge and a vastly improved bullpen. Consider the dimensions of Citizens Bank Park and it makes their performance this season even more exceptional.
The reason is simple: their staff is rubbish-free and healthy. Gone are the likes of Jose Mesa, Brian Sanches, J.D. Durbin and others. Even Adam Eaton can't buy his way back into the mix. Included are improvements like Scott Eyre, Chad Durbin and Lidge, obviously. The company line about Brett Myers, how he was both the biggest off-season and mid-season acquisition, proved to be on the mark. Then you have guys like Jamie Moyer showing us that you can teach old dogs new tricks. He's allowed less than one home run per game, which is off the hook.
Indeed, there have been hiccups, like the 8th inning, Kendrick's fall and Myers' first half, but nothing compared to the turmoil of previous seasons.

January brings a time of organizing. Out with the old…in with the new. As I look over our home inventory and organize, cleaning out closets and planning for the year ahead, I've found that January is also a great time to freshen my spiritual closet. You know how you can look through your wardrobe and find some things that just don't belong? That happens in our spiritual wardrobes as well! Things just get a little stale, dust webs form in the corners, and we don't see them until we carefully examine.
Ephesians 6 gives as an outline of putting on the whole armor of God. I've never tried on one piece of actual armor- the closest I've come is camouflage! But I can relate to shirts, pants, purses, hats and shoes, even accessories. Let's take a look at our everyday spiritual wardrobes and freshen them up, shall we?
1. Belts not only look great; they serve the purpose of keeping your pants in place.
One simple way to freshen your spiritual winter closet is to be sure that what fills your mind is true. A foundation of truth will hold your thoughts together firmly. Be conscientious about how you are feeding your mind. (Ephesians 6:14) Perhaps negative thought patterns needs to get tossed.
2. Maybe Mama needs a new pair of shoes.
Eph. 6:15 says " with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace." How often have you heard that the shoes make the outfit? When we are prepared to deliver peace no matter what comes our way, then our feet are beautiful and ready. This preparation comes from spending time with God. How's the quiet time? Need a little "shoe polish?" Participating in an online Bible study, such as the one offered with Good Morning Girls, or maybe the daily encouragement of the Bible Reading Challenge on my blog would have those shoes polished in no time.
3. Hats are fun and can serve all different purposes.
They can be for warmth, protection from the sun, or protection from wind. Eph. 6:17 tells us that our spiritual helmet is salvation- knowing Christ as Savior. Maybe you've been a Christian for a long time and your helmet is a bit tarnished. Or in our terms today, your cutest floppy beach hat is dented. Take some time to visit the memory of when you accepted Christ. Praise Him for what He has performed in your life and those dents will be smoothed out in no time.
4. Whenever I wear lipstick (probably not as often as I should), then it is the last thing I put on.
Now you are probably wondering, "What in the world does the whole armor of God have to do with lipstick?" Eph. 6:18 ends the discussion on the armor of God with "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." The freshness of lips in prayer is what God loves to hear! That finishing touch of lipstick in my makeup routine changes my face- it brightens my smile. When we listen to the Holy Spirit whispering to our hearts, our prayers can be continually uplifting and encouraging others.
How about you? I'd love if it you would share some practical ways you've found to "update" your spiritual wardrobe.

The color ink cartridge when put into the printer was not recognized by the printer. it showed that the color level was empty. I noticed that the strip that has the copper squares was not like the copper strip on the original color cartridge it replace. That is why the overstock cartridge uould not work in my cannon printer. It could not communicate to the printer.
Not too much to say this was a gift for someone and I haven't heard any comments,so I guest they worked well.
I will continue to look for Canon Print Cartridges for my printer from Overstock.com when I run out.
Two of the five cartridges did not work........the black had no ink and the color was not reconogized by the cannon printer......... with the ones that did work with my cannon printer........a screen pops up saying cartridges are empty.......
since using these cartridges, I have had to change them twice in a week and a half. I don't know whether they are actually out of ink, or if the printer can't read them. they are supposed to be high capacity. I have never had a worse experience with a product purchased through Overstock.com

(LifeScript Health News) New cases of common sexually transmitted diseases are going up, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the report, Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2007, more than 1.4 million cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea were reported in 2007 – both diseases can cause infertility. And syphilis infections went up by 15.2% between 2006 and 2007, despite a national syphilis elimination program in the late 1990s that had nearly eradiated the disease in the U.S.
Women and minorities are more likely to have STDs. And almost half of the 19 million new infections that occur each year are in 15- to 24-year-olds.
