GOD help US….
Obama did this back in 2008 with Biden as well and that worked out real well…
GOD help US….
Obama did this back in 2008 with Biden as well and that worked out real well…
LOL at least I laughed this morning instead of wanting to vomit seeing or hearing ObarryvomitInsane
I think you're overlooking the part about Ryan wiping the floor with Biden in a debate. Ryan has already shown he can make Obama say, "Ummm…"
This is the hand we have been dealt – no time for crying now. Now is the time to PRAY. God knows this is not an ideal ticket – but who among us thought we would get an "ideal" ticket? Not me. This is in God's hands now.
At least with R&R, there is hope. With Obama, there is NO HOPE.
You may not be impressed with this ticket, but I guarantee you Obama is not pleased. He has his hands full with Ryan and don't forget, Romney's surrogates will be out in force, including Allen West. We could have done a lot worse.
Having said this, I FULLY expect a false-flag event to occur before 1/20/13. Obama is a coward and a cheat. There is no way he is going to roll the dice on this and simply say "come what may". Nope. Expect massive fraud and distraction. Don't be surprised if now, after nearly four years of no such incidents and with a good chance he will be leaving the White House soon, Obama is suddenly the target of an assassination attempt. Of course THIS attempt will somehow be a bigger threat to national security than it was with any other president, thus requiring the declaration of Martial Law and postponement of the election. This scumbag is capable of ANYTHING.
Food, Water and Ammo and not necessarily in that order!

Bob Perelman Visits UCSD
A writeup on poet Bob Perelman is up at UC San Diego's The Guardian. Perelman visited the campus last week as a featured speaker for The New Writing Series. Mozelle Armijo writes that "It would have been easy to miss Bob Perelman — a distinguished American poet — at the campuswide New Writing Series workshop last Wednesday. Looking subdued in his beige shirt and faded jeans, he sat patiently among the audience until it was his turn to speak." More:
While Perelman steered clear of his books of critique at the New Writing Series, he did share poetry from his popular works — mostly from "Primer" and "IFLIFE" — but also poems from the still-untitled book he is currently working on.
Although many of his poems are laced with political, Perelman said he didn't have an agenda.
"I am not writing poetry for a single political purpose or anything like that," Perelman said. "I have all sorts of political desires, but they don't go directly into the poetry."
When Perelman puts pen to paper, he hopes that his words achieve a greater purpose.
"I can't boil out a single message about my poetry," Perelman said. "I don't have one unified cause. I am, I suppose, writing poetry to improve the quality of life in a very indirect way. Hopefully, it makes people's minds a little bit livelier and happier."
Perelman read for nearly an hour, shifting his feet from side to side and speaking intently into the microphone. At times, he managed to elicit laughter from his audience due to the occasional curse word in his poems.
The mood of the Visual Arts Space shifted when Perelman shared a solemn piece entitled "For Emma."
The seven-stanza poem was written to honor and remember the life of the late Emma Bernstein, daughter of fellow poet and close friend Charles Bernstein.
"Maybe that's why/ we invented the present/ as a place to live, to keep the things we do know/ know so exactly, keep them exactly, keep/ all of them, keep what we know/ near, at hand, alive in our minds:/ Emma."
At the conclusion of his reading, Perelman took questions from the audience. One such question was, "What is your favorite poem?" Perelman leaned back and let out a loud "Hah!" The question had caught him by surprise.
"I don't know," Perelman said. "I can't answer that. I usually like things about 90 percent of the way through. Sometimes poems I really like, I really don't like at all. It's a little bit like, 'Oh, I can't stand this. I can't stand this … oh, I am in love. This is a great poem.'"

Halloween and candy…candy and Halloween. No other holiday is soinextricably tied to sweets. It wasn't very long ago that I too was handing outReese's Cups and Snickers bars to the troops of tiny ghosts and ballerinas whocrowded around our door chirping "trick or treat!"
That was before my seven-year-old son Danny was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.Suddenly, food choices were front and center, and I was reading nutritionallabels religiously. Ever read the ingredients of a candy bar? Not only doescandy send blood sugars soaring, but the chemicals, artificial colors andflavorings, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners aren't good for anyone.
I couldn't imagine repeating our time-honored Halloween ritual: the childrenhappily trudging home shouldering pillowcases sagging with candy and then eatingtheir way through their hoard for weeks, until I finally became disgusted andthrew the leftovers out.
I knew we had to change our Halloween ways, but I wasn't sure how to limit thecandy without upsetting the family. My daughter Jess, then eleven years old,gave me an idea while we were in a drugstore. We secretly bought many smallobjects that Danny would like, such as Matchbox cars, fancy pencils, baseballcards, a spider ring, and a deck of cards.
As Halloween approached, we called on each of our neighbors and asked if theywould be willing to give Danny one of these items when he arrived at their door,explaining that then he would have something to enjoy while his friends wereeating candy. The neighbors were happy to help, and Jess liked being aco-conspirator.
Next, my husband Brian and I set about preparing our children to willingly giveup their precious candy at the end of Halloween night. It was not an easy task.During supper in late October I said, "Brian, have you ever read the nutritionalinformation on the side of a candy bar?" I proceeded to read the list aloudwhile the kids pretended they weren't listening. Next, I talked about how muchinsulin the pancreas has to make to cover such large amounts of sugar. The kidswere strikingly unimpressed, however, and Danny piped up with, "You know, Mom,it's only once a year."
At the end of the meal, Brian played his trump card. He casually explained thathis co-workers always have full dishes of candy on their desks for anyone toeat, but that he never had any candy to offer in return. He said that he wouldconsider buying the children's Halloween candy in order to bring it to hisoffice as a surprise for his colleagues. Then he offered each child ten centsper candy bar, on the condition that they turn over their entire stash before hewent to work the morning after Halloween.
That was a big mistake. The chance ofturning a profit sent the kids trick-or-treating with renewed passion. Theymanaged to sweet-talk our neighbors into astounding levels of generosity, andBrian ended up paying them a small fortune. (Next year, he cut his offer inhalf.)
Despite Brian's financial miscalculation, Halloween turned out to be a greatsuccess. Danny and Jess found trick-or-treating as exciting as ever, and at theend of the night, Danny had many things to keep. Later I found Danny's friendsinspecting the surprising items in his bag, looking at his diabetes in a newlight.
We allowed the kids a small amount of candy during Halloween evening, andat one point Danny came over and told Brian he needed a shot because he'd eatentwo pieces. At bedtime, however, and at midnight when most little ghosts andwitches were sound asleep, Danny's numbers were fine. We'd survived our firstHalloween.

Grading the Investment U Gurus 2011: Marc Lichtenfeld
by Marc Lichtenfeld, Investment U Senior Analyst
Tuesday, December 20, 2011: Issue #1668
I'm excited when my kids bring home their report cards. They're terrific students, work hard and always bring home good grades.
However, it's always a little nerve-wracking to tabulate my own report card based on my market calls at the end of the year. The market isn't nearly as forgiving as a second grade teacher.
But nevertheless, it's an important exercise to see what I got right and what I got wrong… what I may have been a little "early" on.
So here goes:
In my January 14 column, I talked about the rising trend of healthcare information technology and said two of my favorite stocks in the space were AthenaHealth (Nasdaq: ATHN) and McKesson (NYSE: MCK). AthenaHealth rallied from $44 to $72 before retreating and then falling hard last week on an earnings warning. It's still up about 10 percent from where I recommended it. McKesson went from about $74 to $87, but has also come back in trading just a few points over where it was in January. Considering the S&P is down about six percent since that date, the results aren't too bad. Grade: B
The following week I was bullish on pharmacy benefits managers, particularly Express Scripts (Nasdaq: ESRX) and Medco Health Solutions (NYSE: MHS). Swing and a miss. Both stocks are down. The group never really got going. Long term, I think any company in healthcare that helps reduce costs should do well. But this year wasn't that year. Grade: F
My columns recommending the sale of stocks did quite well in 2011, starting with my February 2 article recommending the sale of ISIS Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ISIS). I've written about this company quite a bit, suggesting that its lead drug candidate for high cholesterol will get rejected by the FDA. The drug hasn't been rejected yet, but the stock is down over 20 percent since my column ran. Grade: A-
In a February 17 article, I cautioned about getting suckered in by high yielding stocks of companies that might not be able to afford to keep paying their dividends. I highlighted Capstead Mortgage (NYSE: CMO), Old Republic International (NYSE: ORI) and Apollo Investment (Nasdaq: AINV) as potential dividend cutters.
None of them did. But Old Republic and Apollo fell sharply throughout the year, while Capstead is at about the same price. I'm more comfortable with Capstead's dividend now, but still don't think Old Republic and Apollo's are sustainable. They're simply not generating enough cash flow to continue paying their dividend at their current levels. Grade: B
In early March, I took the opposite approach and focused on three companies that were in a position to raise their dividends. Meredith Corp. (NYSE: MDP), Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) and VF Corp. (NYSE: VFC) were highlighted.
Meredith raised its quarterly dividend from $0.25 to $0.38 in November, while Northrop also hiked its payout. Interestingly, neither stock performed all that well, both down a few points. VF Corp., on the other hand, didn't raise its dividend, but its stock soared over 30 percent for the year. Grade: B-
One of my best calls of the year was on March 10, when I explained why shares of St. Joe (NYSE: JOE) would likely be cut in half. That's exactly what happened. The stock closed at $26.87 that day and steadily fell until hitting a low of $12.72 in November. Grade: A+
On March 16, I suggested following millionaires into Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) and Varian (NYSE: VAR). If you did, you're up 15 percent and 42 percent on Apple and Bristol respectively and down two percent on Varian. During the same period, the S&P 500 is down four percent, so I'll take a victory lap on that one. Grade: A-
In early April, I said stocks would outperform gold as panicky investors were overreacting and fleeing to the perceived safety of the metal. Even with gold's recent decline, it strongly outperformed stocks for the remainder of the year. Grade: F
I redeemed myself in the metals a few weeks later. Although it wasn't what silver bugs wanted to hear. I said silver was in a bubble and traders should take their profits now. Silver topped out the next day and is down 40 percent since then. As badly as I missed the gold trade, I nailed this one. Grade: A+
On May 3, I said the consumer staples stocks were undervalued. The group hasn't done much all year. At the time, it was trading at less than 14 times earnings. Today the sector is trading above 15 times forward earnings. I don't think it's as undervalued now as I did then. Grade: C
I made a stinker of a call in June when I said that NXP Semiconductors (Nasdaq: NXPI) would be the leader in the mobile technology space. It just hasn't become the dominant force I expected. Recommending a technology play right before the market swoon wasn't great timing, either. The stock fell hard and never recovered: Grade: F
I got it right the next week though, when I suggested selling steel stocks, in particular Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI). I thought the whole sector looked vulnerable, and Allegheny in particular was overvalued. Four months later, the stock was down 50 percent. Grade: A+
In early August, just as the market was starting its swoon, I recommended getting long Fastenal (Nasdaq: FAST). Despite a wealth of negative macroeconomic news, Fastenal was hiring, reporting strong sales and earnings. The stock is up 28 percent since then while the S&P is down two percent. Grade: A
Lastly, as panicky investors were dumping their stocks in August, I told readers to pick up shares of quality dividend payers like my favorite dividend aristocrat, Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC). A dividend aristocrat is a company that has increased its dividend every year for the past 25 years or more. Genuine Parts has been doing it for 56 years. Genuine Parts is up 23 percent since the column ran. Not bad for a boring dividend play. In the same column, I recommended Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT), which is up 17 percent. Grade: A
I'm not including any recommendations made within the last three months, as they need time to play out.
I knocked quite a few out of the park, while my wrong… early predictions were far fewer than my good ones. Sprinkle in a few other decent calls, and overall it was a pretty solid year.
When it comes to stock market predictions, it's impossible to bring home straight A's. But I constantly strive to constantly improve my game in order to pick more winners and keep the losers to a minimum.
I'll have plenty more educated predictions and recommendations in 2012, so stay tuned.
Hope you have a great holiday and New Year.
Good Investing,
Marc Lichtenfeld

For a while I have been self conscious about the deep wrinkles that have appeared on my forehead but I was hesitant about getting Botox in fear of looking "frozen" or "plastic" by a doctor who wasn't an absolute expert. I would try to hide my wrinkles by strategically placing my hair over my forehead but this obviously didn't work nor did it improve my self-image.
I was recommended to Dr. Schiller by a friend and patient of his, I am so happy that I made the decision to get botox from him. My wrinkles were gone almost instantly and I now have a smooth, wrinkle-free forehead, and my face is not frozen stiff or "plastic" looking. In an instant all those years of frowning and sun tanning were erased!
All the ladies in the office are extremely nice and I felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. If you are interested in getting Botox but are unsure of what Doctor to go to, I definitely recommend Dr. Schiller!

I'd like to draw your attention to the Chicago Fed National Activity Index. It's hardly a top-tier indicator, and not intuitive to understand, but it's the closest thing to a monthly read on broad economic activity after the GDP report. Most indicators cover just one segment of the economy, but this measures a compilation of 85 monthly and quarterly data points distilled into a single number.
But this single number doesn't mean much if you don't know how to interpret it. A reading of zero indicates the economy is growing around trend, or its long-term potential. A negative reading means the economy is growing below potential, until it dips below the -0.7 read, which suggests contraction. If the three-month moving average drops below -0.7, we might be entering into a recession. Bear in mind this is not a forward-looking measure, it's a coincident indicator. Right now, that trend rate of growth is about 3%, and we are quite a bit away from that. The CFNAI three-month average for June printed -0.6. That is very weak, and the lowest since October 2009. In addition, the measure has been moving down: it was -0.31 in May, -0.2 in April and +0.12 in March.
Some of the weakness has been concentrated in the months following the Japan earthquake, with monthly prints (rather than the three-month moving average noted above) especially weak in April and May and improving in June. I will be watching Monday's release closely to see the July data, as that will be the first read for the third quarter.
Analysts expect second-quarter GDP numbers to be revised downwards, as the second estimate for GDP, to be released Friday, includes international trade, which wasn't in the first GDP estimate. That report showed a bigger-than-expected trade deficit, which subtracts from GDP. (There will be one more estimate of second-quarter GDP, calculated when more data are received.) I would not be surprised if we have growth even lower than the 1.3% previously reported, and many banks and brokerages are cutting their estimates for 2011 and 2012 GDP.
Just this week, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan said that GDP will grow 1% in the fourth quarter, rather than the 2.5% previously forecast, and 0.5% in the first quarter of 2012, instead of 1.5%. Citigroup cut its 2011 growth forecast to 1.6% from 1.7% and lowered its projection for next year to 2.1% from 2.7%, according to a research note. Neal Soss, chief economist at Credit Suisse in New York, cut his 2012 GDP forecast to 2.1% from 3.1% last month. Similarly, Goldman Sachs cut its 2011 US GDP forecast to 1.7% from 1.8% and slashed its 2012 US GDP forecast to 2.1% from 3.0%. Goldman said, "We now see the unemployment rate edging up to 9.25% by the end of 2012, and see a one-in-three risk of renewed recession."
You get the idea. While the second-quarter GDP report is likely to be reduced from its first estimate, we can infer from the economists' views that growth is unlikely to pick up from where it is now to a trend rate of growth for the rest of this year and into the next. That corresponds with the Fed's commitment to holding interest rates low until at least 2013.
We need about 3% GDP growth just to keep the unemployment rate stable, and to account for population growth and productivity gains. We need 5% GDP growth for a full year to bring down unemployment by one percentage point. Thus, we can probably expect some jobs to be created, but not enough to keep up with population growth. So Goldman's forecast for a slightly rising unemployment rate from now until the end of 2012 is entirely consistent with these economic forecasts.
In the meantime, there's Durable Goods Orders to consider Wednesday. Remember, manufacturing is about 11% of the economy, and durable goods are just one part of that 11%. I would caution against reading into more capex spending as a positive -- it could be, of course, but it could also mean companies are using labor-saving equipment and software instead of hiring. When I look at the measure I most closely follow in this report, non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, it's a double-edged sword. On one hand, one always wants to see companies invest in new equipment. On the other hand, a relentless focus on productivity gains at the expense of labor can come back to bite the economy (as I pointed out in my column, "Where Game Theory Loses").
After all, machines don't spend money, people do. What we need to see is not whether companies buy more machines, but whether they hire more workers.

ATHENS (Oct. 17)
A protest by Christians here against the film "The Last Temptation of Christ" culminated in a violent outburst of anti-Semitism by a mob that damaged a local theater where the film was being shown.
In Israel, meanwhile, the film was banned from being screened.
Despite precautions by police and private security guards, the Embassy theater in downtown Athens was invaded by knife-wielding protesters who ripped the screen while shouting, "The Zionists are trying to mock Christianity."
The mob was the vanguard of hundreds of unruly demonstrators, led by priests, who marched through the streets of Athens last Thursday, brandishing wooden crosses.
Riot police broke up the attack on the cinema with tear gas.
The film, which seeks to depict the human side of Jesus, was directed by Martin Scorsese, a Catholic of Italian ancestry, and produced by Universal Studios. It is based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, a Greek who was born into the Orthodox church.
But the protestors hold Jews responsible and publicly burned an Israeli flag to make their point.
The film generated anti-Semitic demonstrations in the United States when it opened this summer, because Lew Wasserman, the chairman of Universal's parent company, MCA, is Jewish.
Although American Catholics objected to the film, it was American Protestant fundamentalists who scapegoated the Jews.
In deciding Monday to ban the screening of "The Last Temptation," the Israel Board of Censorship on Plays and Motion Pictures ruled that the film is "offensive to Christian believers." The move was passed by a majority vote of the panel.

I don't have all the answers, but I do have this one on disaster preparedness/recovery:
A letter pertaining to disaster (hurricane, earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, etc.) has been sent to President Obama on behalf of all insurance policyholders. As a matter of transparency on the record of insurance consumer protection, any response by President Obama will be posted on the following Website for review: www.disasterprepared.net/president.html

Add stylish flair to any outfit with this bryony panama hat by Janessa Leone. The classic black color makes this a versatile accessory that can be combined with a wide variety of pieces. Meanwhile, the designer has remained true to the classic panama hat silhouette with an indented top and flat brim. However, the brim itself is not quite as long as with some other styles, making this a great casual piece to wear for sun protection or just for style.

Michael Beyer, the current Mayor of Rockford, is announcing his candidacy for Commissioner of District 4. Here is his statement
To me the Commissioners' position is not a political career, but the opportunity to continue to make Wright County the place to live. I bring with me the experience of handling budgets during the economic good times and bad. For the past 12 years as the Rockford Mayor I have been involved in keeping taxes to a minimum, smart growth of a small city, and dealing with natural disasters like spring flooding. I have kept in perspective what the residents need for example streets, personal protection, and the services they expect.
My philosophy to governing is that "If you control your expenses and have extra tax money that doesn't mean you have to spend it, likewise when you don't have enough tax money you just don't automatically turn on the tax collection tap."
I have taken my responsibility as keeper of the residents' money seriously and will continue that philosophy as County Commissioner. The money collected for the services that residents pay for and expect should be used wisely.
I have been a resident of Rockford for 27 years. I am an active member of the Rockford Volunteer Fire Dept and have been for the past 18 years. I served as a council member for four years, and have been the Mayor for the past 12 years. My work experience includes 30 years managing restaurants and eight years as a manager at Menards in Buffalo.
My vision for Wright County is to maintain the highest standard of living possible. People move to Wright County to get away from the big city and should expect the same services that the more populated counties offer.
If you want to see how I conduct city business, and come to your own conclusions, go to the city of Rockford website (cityofrockford.org) and watch a meeting. Watch the budget meeting on April 24 or any of the other meetings to see what you will be voting for at the primary on Aug. 14.

More than half of the state exchanges to be created under the 2010 U.S. health care overhaul are expected to be run by the federal government, offering insurers and consumers uniform criteria in at least those areas.
According to The Hill, 33 states "have chosen to either not implement a state exchange at all or engage in a hybrid system that leaves many of the problems up to the federal government, as is the case with Illinois, Delaware and North Carolina, or which remain undecided on whether to accept the responsibility for developing the exchange."

by Kimberly Vaughn
LSTC M.Div. senior
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Judeans. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs [or as The Message paraphrases it, 'the God-pointing, God-revealing acts'] that you do apart from the presence of God." (John 3:1-2)
My father, the late Reverend Emory C. Vaughn, was a Nicodemus type of person. Daddy was tall, soft-spoken and intense, nicknamed "Doc" by his siblings. He was inquisitive and highly intelligent, graduating near the top of his high school class. But he never had the chance to go to college. For many blacks such a thing was rare in the 1930s. Instead, he married and worked two or three jobs to feed his family. But he had great dreams and he wanted more for his children. One of his legacies to his many descendents was this charge: "Never be afraid to ask 'why?'" Daddy loved reading. He collected books and built his own personal library. Late at night, after everyone had gone to bed, he often was found reading – science, literature, theology, almanacs – you name it. He even learned basic Greek! He became a Baptist minister and helped to start a homeless men's mission in Cleveland. When he wasn't working, reading, preaching or spending time with us, he was usually talking someone's ear off about whatever was on his mind, late into the night. My father's thirst for knowledge and insight drove others crazy, for he was tireless with his interrogations.
When Daddy was in his 40s, a Lutheran church moved into the neighborhood. The young pastor there was African American, and this intrigued Daddy. He went and met the new pastor and they developed a mentoring relationship – an established minister and a minister just starting out. Daddy began going to this Lutheran church, curious to know what it was all about. That poor young pastor had no idea what he was in for. My father always came prepared with questions or debate topics. "What's a Lutheran? Why would blacks be Lutheran? Explain baptism." The pastor sometimes came over for dinner, and this often turned into an all-nighter.
Those late-night sessions were memorable. If you've ever participated in late-night debates with friends, something happens. You might be tired from a long workday, stressed beyond belief, but when conversation gets good, suddenly you're alert. You've forgotten that you promised to stop and pick up milk and come right home. You had planned to go to bed early tonight. Your to-do list has suddenly become your to-don't list, because something tells you to stay where you are – this discussion is important. Sit back down, and be prepared to learn something.
What is it about night-time conversations? What is it that makes the evening a prime time for transformation or learning? So many people thrive in evening adult education courses or bible studies or prayer services. People of all cultures across history have gathered around campfires telling their community's stories. Or youth in a catechism class or youth group meeting. Scripture is no different. In many biblical stories we find a God who loves night school.
Today we read of Nicodemus, an upstanding leader of the Judeans, who comes to Jesus by night – the world premiere of "Nick at Nite". What was it that Nicodemus sought so late at night?
There's a phrase my brothers used to use in playground basketball, a game best played under street lights in the summer. When someone was embarrassed on the court by being made aware of his or her lack of skills, it was said that they had been "schooled." To be schooled means that you have just learned a lesson that will improve you. Schooling was what my father often did to those who challenged him to debates.
Did Nicodemus come to Jesus to get "schooled"? Was he prepared for a possibly life-altering meeting? If so, then what late-night lesson was he seeking to learn? Picture this: just like my father, Nicodemus was intrigued by this young, bright, charismatic rabbi. And much like my father, Nicodemus must have been open to learn something new, even at his age. So Nicodemus comes to night school.
I remember as a child, when I first met Nicodemus in a Sunday school lesson. It said Nicodemus came to Jesus under the cover of night. Western culture has taught us that, when we think of "night" or anything dark, it must connote something negative: spying, secrecy, ghosts, muggers, chaos, evil, University of Chicago Security Alerts. We are taught to fear the dark. However we must remember that the same God who created and keeps the day is the same God who created and keeps the night. And who are we to say that God cannot work wonders under the cover of night? Scripture reveals that, under the cover of night, God works amazing things; things like TRANSFORMATION and LIBERATION.
Under the cover of night, the Israelites prepared for their Exodus from Egypt.
Under the cover of night, the Israelites felt God's abiding presence in the wilderness.
Under the cover of night, Joseph is warned to flee with his young wife and child into Egypt, for Herod seeks the life of your child, Joseph.
Under the cover of night, God moved heaven and earth to raise our Lord Jesus from the grip of death.
…And in the history of this land, God worked transformation and liberation under the cover of night.
Under the cover of night, African slaves secretly learned to read, to write and to study Holy Scriptures; and learned that abundant life, not bondage, was God's original intention for creation.
Under the cover of night, Harriett Tubman, the Moses of Her People, helped over 100 slaves cross over to freedom by way of the Underground Railroad.
Under the cover of night, The Harlem Renaissance flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, giving blacks new freedom of expression in literary, artistic, and intellectual pursuits.
Under the cover of night, in December 1955, word spread like wildfire about the late-day arrest of Rosa Parks, and people of all ages worked for four days to organize Montgomery, Alabama for a bus boycott that brought Jim Crow to his knees.
Under the cover of night, TRANSFORMATION and LIBERATION HAPPENS.
But let us go back to Nicodemus and Jesus. The conversation is intriguing. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. First, Nicodemus acknowledges his great admiration and respect for Jesus. "Young man, we know that you are sent by God because no one could perform such signs and not be of God. You really have something going here!" He really wants to understand Jesus and this new movement Jesus has going. Nicodemus isn't quite ready to be an Abram – just jump up and go, no questions asked. No – Nicodemus's faith is one of questions, meditation, then more questions. This is not to say that either Abram's or Nicodemus' way has more validity. But Nicodemus' faith is one that is seeking understanding, with many questions. Nicodemus is seeking something more than mere knowledge.
Now, Jesus begins to school Nicodemus. Nicodemus had come onto Jesus' basketball court. Jesus tosses Nicodemus the ball. "Are you a leader of Israel and yet you still do not get it?" I wonder if Jesus might have made the same assumptions we do when conversing with our elders – we admire them so much that we expect them to be wise and understanding in all matters. I imagine that it was just as interesting for Jesus to have a respected elder come to him seeking insight. And yet Jesus handles him carefully. He shows Nicodemus respect. Jesus says, "Yes my brother – this is a message of eternal life, but also of transformation and liberation, from God, for all of God's creation."
Even though we leave this conversation feeling that maybe Nicodemus is not quite convinced, the invitation is still offered to him. For "God so loved the [whole] world, Nicodemus, that God gave God's only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life." That's liberation, Nicodemus, if and whenever you want it. God's reign, here and now.
School is always in session. My father understood this lesson. Nicodemus understood this as well. And we know from John's gospel that Nicodemus does come back, and he stands up for Jesus. We are never too young or too old to learn something new. It matters not if it is day or night, really. Whether we have been long on this earth or recently-arrived; whether we're well-educated, self-educated or no-educated, we still can be "schooled." God's love extends to us in both our questions and in our sure faith.
Here we are in Lent, a time of prayer, fasting and meditation. I like to think of the whole of Lent as a time to be "schooled." Lent is a time of deep reflection - of sitting and learning lessons about ourselves – sometimes hard and humbling lessons. In our times of meditation and attention to spiritual disciplines, God is speaking to us. It's never too early or too late. God is calling us to be schooled, to seek insight, to be open to the hard questions. There's more than enough love to handle the questions we bring.
School is in session. Amen.
John 3:1-17

The people who zipped down Interstate 10 Friday morning had no idea how significant the drive was for the blond woman behind the wheel of the black Honda Civic.
Since the April 28 Baghdad rocket attack that killed her husband, Julia Mathes' life has been filled with firsts — her first night alone in a hotel room, her first thoughts of attending college.
Friday marked the last leg of her first drive alone from her grandmother's house in Ridge Manor to the home she shared with Army Sgt. Marcus Mathes on post in Fort Polk, La.
They were married two weeks after she graduated from high school. She had lived only with him and her parents. The couple planned to goof off for a year or so after Sgt. Mathes got home from Iraq, then start a family.
Now, at 24, she is a widow and must decide, on her own, what's next.
"Most people are 17 or 18 starting their lives," she said. "I have to get started. I have to start a life."
She loved being a wife, planning parties and cooking dinners. Since that ended, she has toyed with the idea of attending a specialty college so she can get a degree in digital photography — she always took so many pictures of her husband. She even considered joining the military as a photographer.
As she drove Friday, she wondered what it would feel like when she saw the bedside candles that Sgt. Mathes sometimes lit while she brushed her teeth at night. There was also the blue couch, where they sat holding hands on the day he left for Iraq and she tried to explain why this deployment felt scarier than the last.
In their final moments that November day, he gave her a look that made her feel like that was the last time their eyes would meet.
"It was like, subconsciously we knew it was the end," she said.
She had heard so many horror stories about the fighting in Iraq, she couldn't help but ask morbid questions during his phone calls home.
Once, she asked whether she should play an Avril Lavigne song played during a slide show at his funeral.
Sgt. Mathes did not like those questions. He told her he would not die.
But still she couldn't shake the fear. About a month before the explosion, she asked if he wanted to be buried at the National Cemetery near Bushnell. He said yes.
Friday, on her way to Louisiana, she also wondered what people thought of her coming to the Army post. She worried they would say she is no longer part of the military family now that he is gone.
She had not been back since December, opting to spend the majority of his deployment with their families in Florida. She planned to return before he came home on leave to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in June.
Friday, she looked forward to spending time with other military widows. There were resources for her on post to research her next steps as she decides what to do with her life. And there were men and women in the camouflage Sgt. Mathes always wore.
"I need to be around military life," she said.
She arrived in the afternoon.
Mathes unlocked the door, made her way past her husband's shoe rack, past the black corner shelf he bought with money that he planned to use for a tattoo.
He eventually got the tattoo, a knife on his thigh. She couldn't remember which thigh, and it scared her that her memories of him are fading.
At their home, she made her way to the spare bedroom, her husband's room.
He had painted the walls bright orange and lined the tops with a black and white checkered border. The clothes in his closet still smelled like him — Right Guard deodorant, ammunition and laundry detergent.
She sat down in his black leather rocking chair and wept.

As noted in a previous column, bubbly ice is glacier ice containing trapped air bubbles. Scientists have confirmed what Paddy Quigley, of Ivar's, has always known, Guinness bubbles sink. At the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry, it was proven bubbles flow down instead of upward. Early observations thought once the dark liquid hit the glass there was the illusion the bubbles were going down. Closer examination revealed as the pint settled, bubbles touching the walls of the glass experienced drag, preventing bubbles from flowing up. Bubbles in the middle of the glass rise freely causing bubbles at the edge to be pushed downward on the inside surface. Ivar Quigley and his sister Belinda, langers from Cork, believe Smithwicks Lager does the same.

Bikram yoga is 90 mins of yoga in a heated room up to 102degrees. Can I start doing hot yoga right after getting cool sculpt on my lower abdomen? I know that the science behind cool sculpting is freezing the fat cells; will gearing them back up right away and sweating a lot reverse the freeze and dying of fat cells?
Can You Do Bikram After Getting Cool Sculpt?

Avoid bikram yoga immediately after CoolSculpting
There are no studies of which I'm aware that has studied the effectiveness of CoolSculpting preceding hot yoga. I would not imagine that the adipocytes (fat cells) that die from the freezing can be brought back to life from the heat, and your core temperature stays about the same despite ambient temperature and exercise, but I would be concerned about increased inflammation and possibly tenderness.

It certainly is a great sign that you want to continue your fitness routine. You probably would be fine doing hot yoga the same day, but why take any chances. It is a very intense and very hot procedure Wait 24 and you'll be fine.

Thank you for your question.
I have not seen any studies indicating that you cannot do bikram yoga after Coolsculpting treatment. The fat cells are frozen during the treatment and you cannot reverse this, but I would suggest asking your doctor about how long you should wait before returning to your workouts.
Best wishes.

Although there is no good studies looking specifically at this question, I would defer to your surgeon and wait 48 hours before considering this.
Cool Scuplting by Zeltiq is safe.
Yes you can. This procedure is completely non-surgical. So typically you can return to normal activities immediately.

The CoolSculpt freeze is instant and permanent.
Not a problem. The CoolSculpt freeze is instant and permanent. The Yoga will not reverse that.
Other than some discomfort, yoga will not affect the results of coolsculpting
Although you may feel some of the effects of the coolsculpting treatment during your yoga session it should not affect the effectiveness of the coolsculpting treatment in reducing the fat treated. If you feel that the sensation of skin burning or hypersensitivity increases too much during yoga you may want to cut the yoga session short and entertain the idea of taking some neurontin.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Yoga after Coolsculpting
Doing bikram or any other type of yoga won't effect the efficacy or end results of your treatment. Once the fat cells freeze, the work is done and you can go back to your normal routine. The only thing that may keep you from going right back is some soreness or bruising. (Some patients would rather not have to explain a rectangular bruise on their abdomen to fellow yogis).
Good luck~

Conceptualizing in Special Sciences
The paper examines a few methods for drawing categories that can be employed in special sciences. By examining some of the core phenomena that laid the basis of the most prominent approaches to typing in special sciences, it shows that we must accept a novel approach to delineating scientific kinds. Its peculiarity is that makes the latter parts of an array of structures, rather than possessing a fixed one. This can provide with a useful principal line of approach the leaders attempting to organize complex and evolving phenomena.

Like councilman, like aide
Vivian Moreno follows Alvarez collecting developer, marijuana money
Matt Potter 5 p.m., Sept. 20
On Sunday, February 14, the tranquility of my afternoon was interrupted by the sound of drums coming from 47th Street and El Cajon Boulevard.
I followed the sounds of the drums to Minh Hoa Supermarket on El Cajon Boulevard. The parking lot of the Asian market was full of activity. Approximately 20 to 30 men, women, and children surrounded the entrance of the store. Access to the parking lot from El Cajon Boulevard was blocked by orange cones, and two employees stood by to ensure that nobody entered from that direction.
I walked across the street, and there I saw a large, hand-crafted dragon dancing around the entrance of the store. The management at Minh Hoa had decided to kick off Chinese New Year (which began this year on Valentine's Day) with a couple of people dressed in a dragon costume.
According to tradition, the dragon dance is supposed to give good fortune for the following year. Once the dragon completed its dance — approximately a half hour later — someone lit a series of firecrackers.

I have a 2009 Prius with factory 195-55-16 skins and want to NOT use the low profile rubber when I replace them shortly. No one, including the dealer can give me a difinitive answer as to what tire(s) I can install on my car.
I drive a 2005 Prius. It now has 199,850 miles on it. I drive mostly highway driving. I try to change my oil between 3,000 and 4,500 miles of driving. When I change my oil, I rotate my tires. It is done free of charge at my Toyota dealer. The tires that came with my car originally got 95,000 miles. I am just replacing my second set of tires after having driven almost 104,000 miles on them. These last tires and the ones I am now going to put on are Yokihama Avid TRZ 185/65-15. They are supposed to go 80,000 miles. I keep my tire pressure where it should be and rotate my tires OFTEN. I think rotating your tires often helps with their longevity. I would also guess that I am not a hard driver. I have also only had to replace my brakes once in this car. I love my 2005 Prius.
I'm not at this point concerned about the wear/mileage... I want to get rid of the low profile sidewall to hopefully get a little better ride and because the 55's are a more expensive tire.
the second at 30,000 (14,000 miles later). My Integrities are looking good with 45,000 on the odometer (15,000 miles of wear), and they cost half as much. Best eCommerce Hosting
Toyota is lying....my Toyota agency rep. told me they are well aware of the problem with tires.
It's May 2012 and I've been driving a 2010 Prius V Model since December 2010. I currently have 82,000+ miles on the original set of tires.........Bridgestone Turanza, P215/45R17 87V. Although I still have plenty of tread remaining, I should be able to achieve 100,00K before the end of the year. At every synthetic oil change (12-15K miles), I ROTATE AND BALANCE THE TIRES.
I was thinking of changing brands to get a somewhat softer ride. However, after reading several comments, I think I'll stay with the Bridgestones. Don't get me wrong, this tire is quiet and smooth on smooth roads. For the skeptics, most of my driving is on freeways and Interstate roads at speeds 60-80 mph. Mileage fluctuates between 48-51.
The First Hybrid Evaluating prototype locomotive was designed and contracted by rail research center MATRAI in 1999 and the sample was ready in 2000. it was a G12 locomotive that was converted to hybrid by using a 200KW diesel generator and batteries and also was equipped with 4 AC traction motors (out of 4) retrofited in the cover of the DC traction motors.wrongful death lawyers
Hey very nice blog!
I have a 2008 Prius 5..came with 17x7.5" rims and Toyo MS z rated tires 205-45x R17..
After 58.8k care free miles it was time to change them this Nov...not at the wear markers but nearly so...
Went to COSTCO. they put Bridgestone POTENZA Grid G019...Mileage dropped from 47-48 for mixed city country driving 58 mph max 35 mph min..for all 58+k miles to 41 mpg.....re alignment front and reat ( had alignment shop put in shims in the rear as Toyota would only say it was out out of spec and how much...no fix.)
COSTCO is taking back the POTRENZA's.
Costco has no ECOPIA tires that will fit...(205 45x 17) but the new Prius uses 215 45x17...will these fit and will they work?

A trip to Lexington ...
Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:56:45 GMT —
Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of embarking on a journey to Lexington, Ky., with Rod Smith and T.J. Fenske.
We left around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
We got home around 7 p.m. Friday.
A 75-hour trip for a two-hour basketball game. And it was a lousy basketball game, at that.
Still, there were some interesting moments during this trip to the NCAA Tournament. Like me getting to know a dozen or so guys who were there for the tournament, and all of us getting to know Santa Claus.
First, let's talk about --- and dispense of --- those aforementioned two hours that weren't very interesting.
Colorado State 84, Missouri 72. Another game where these muscle-bound Tigers looked like Tarzan, played like Jane --- they were outrebounded 42-19.
You could get 19 rebounds by just standing there and letting the ball find you. This was a non-effort.
This Missouri team never had any definition. It was a season mostly marked by poor play and poor coaching, when Missouri had to face competent competition.
From the seventh-ranked team in the nation in late December, to a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament, to sitting at home watching the rest of the tournament on TV, just like the rest of us.
What happened?
Here's a back-and-forth I had with Missouri coach Frank Haith after Thursday's game. Just one back, one forth. Like MU's tournament run, one and done.
Q: "Coach, what did this team never really "get" or grasp that you wanted them to do this season? And if you had to tweak something along the way and do something different, what would that have been?"
A: "Tom, let me just say this to you --- I'm proud of what this team did this year. There are a lot of guys who play in the NCAA Tournament, we only had one guy returning from last year's team. This team made it to the NCAA Tournament. I'm very proud of what they accomplished this year."
Really? Does that answer pass the smell test?
To me, that answer was more full of horse-droppings than the average Kentucky pasture.
What accomplishments, exactly? Being satisfied with being regarded as one of the top 68 teams in the country, just like North Carolina A&T and Florida Gulf Coast? Is that where this program is at?
Florida Gulf Coast, by the way, beat Georgetown in its NCAA debut. Then beat San Diego State on Sunday night to advance to the Sweet 16.
Now THAT is an accomplishment, Frank.
But enough about the Tigers. Let's talk about something interesting.
The morning of MU's first game, it snowed. On the first day of spring in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky, it snowed --- blowing-sideways snow.
Also that Thursday morning, I was witness to a dozen or so middle-aged guys moving into our hotel, toting about three dozen cases of beer.
"Are you here for the tournament?" I randomly asked a couple of them.
"We sure are," said one.
They didn't really look like your typical college basketball fans, but what do I know.
"Where you from?"
"Bath, New York. It's in Western New York, upstate."
That was a nice geography lesson, I thought. But then my mind raced quickly, thinking about the eight teams who were in this Lexington "pod." None of the teams were from New York. Not even close. I thought this was odd.
"Wow. What team are you following?"
My new friend looked confused.
"Uh, we're here for the national bowling tournament," he said. "The Elks National Bowling Tournament."
Later Thursday evening, when we were leaving the hotel and heading to Rupp Arena, a different Elk spotted us. We'll call him generic drunk bowling guy.
"You guys leaving already?" he said, swilling a Milwaukee's Best. "We're just getting started!"
We just smiled and slipped out the door.
Sadly, we weren't able to stick around long enough to hear how they did. I'm pretty sure, however, that I heard them late Thursday night/early Friday morning, tuning up for this big event by setting up 10 empty beers cans in the hallway --- like 10 bowling pins, crashing their customized bowling balls into them.
I think I heard one guy generic drunk bowling guy howling after he got the dreaded 7-10 beer-can split. I hate when that happens.
So we headed home Friday. We had seen Santa Claus --- a town of about 2,400 in extreme southern Indiana --- on the way to Lexington. But this time, we stopped.
We had to know more. Well, at least I did.
"So how did Santa Claus get its name?" I asked Patricia, 57, who works at a local gas station.
"I don't know," she said. "I really haven't thought about it."
I was disappointed, to say the least. Come on, Patricia, you live in Santa Claus!
Enter my new friend for the next 30 seconds, Kent. He had overheard our conversation and wanted to help.
"You're in Santa Claus, Indiana," he said proudly.
"I know, I know. I was just wondering how it got its name."
"I dunno," said Kent, 62. "I think we had a Christmas tree farm, or something, way back when."
Both Patricia and Kent are life-long Santa Clausians. Or Santa Clausites.
I was not satisfied with their answers, so it was time to do some research. Here it is, straight from Wikipedia:
The town was established in 1854 and known as Santa Fe (pronounced "fee"). In 1856, when the town was working to establish a post office, the United States Postal Service refused their first application as there was already a Santa Fe established with the USPS. Several town meetings were held, during which the name Santa Claus was selected. The town has the world's only post office to bear the name of Santa Claus. Because of this popular name, the post office receives thousands of letters to Santa from all over the world each year.
Also of note, Santa Claus features Lake Christmas, Lake Holly and Lake Noel. There's a 40-ton, 22-foot high statue of Santa Claus on the highest hill in town, and it also boasts Holiday World, widely recognized as the first theme park ever built.
In addition, it's where Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler grew up.
Ah, Santa Claus, Ind., my new favorite city in America. Getting to know Santa Claus almost made this 75-hour trip for a lousy two-hour basketball game worth it.
Santa Claus was sure a lot more interesting.

Three-star Hoover (Ala.) defensive end Jerami Holifield says he's got a solid top three entering the new month.
"I'm looking at Alabama, LSU and Florida," he said. "I've been to Alabama and LSU for games this season, but I'm still trying to get down to Florida as soon as possible.
"Right now, I'm leaning toward staying here in state, so Alabama would probably be my first choice. LSU is No. 2 if I look out of state, but I've always liked Florida. I definitely want to visit them before I decide."
Holifield (6-5, 248, 4.8) is rated the No. 27 strongside defensive end in the nation by Rivals.com. He had 58 tackles and eight sacks as a junior, and he's going to surpass those figures this season. Through nine games, he's helped lead Hoover to an 8-1 mark by recording 62 tackles and eight sacks.
He's yet to schedule his official visits.
"I'm getting close to doing that, but just haven't had time to get them finalized," he said.
Asked to breakdown his three favorites, Holifield said:
"Alabama is here close to home. That's the main thing. I just feel at home there. I feel like I fit in with everybody. I like coach Randolph, too. I've enjoyed talking to him. He shows a lot of concern for me not just as a football player, but as a student. Academics come first, so I like that.
"LSU has coach Fisher, and he's the same way as coach Randolph at Alabama. I like their academic support there. They've got a good team right now, too. I've been impressed with the way they've been playing.
"I haven't been to Florida yet, but I've always liked watching them play. It's a place I always thought would be fun to go. I've heard a lot of good things about the whole school, not just football."
Academically, Holifield says he's worked hard to improve his core GPA, which is "2.3 and coming up steadily." He's scored an 18 on the ACT, but will continue to take the test just in case. With his current GPA, he said he needs a "19 or a 20" to qualify.

Emergency workers were attempting to rescue a protester who has tied himself to New York's Tappan Zee Bridge in what appears to be an act of defiance against Rockland County's Legislature.
The man, who is believed to former Rockland County Department of Mental Health Worker Michael Davit, is hanging from rope over the Hudson River wearing an American flag bandanna and holding a large sign bearing the words, " Rockland County Legislature Retaliation."
Rockland County Legislature Chairwoman Harriet Cornell said Davit "was unhappy with his termination in 2008 and would come often to public hearings and register his anger and concern." According to Cornell, "Mr. Davit would come often to the county legislative meeting, at one point making statements that certain legislators felt were threatening" and he "could be seen on many days going up and down in front of the county office building with protest signs relating to the county executive."
When asked if she had a message for Davit, Cornell replied: "I would say to him that he is jeopardizing the safety of others as well as his own safety. Many state and local emergency workers are seeking to have him come up safely and he should consider their safety as well as his own."
