Summary of Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse Summary of Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse Reviews for Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse An Excerpt from Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse
For years, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch have ridden roughshod over rabble-rousers and gun hands in troubled towns like Appaloosa, Resolution, and Brimstone. Now, newly appointed as Territorial Marshalls, they find themselves traveling by train through the Indian Territories. Their first marshaling duty starts out as a simple mission to escort Mexican prisoners to the border, but when the Governor of Texas, his wife and daughters climb aboard with their bodyguards and $500,000 in tow, their journey suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.
The problem is Bloody Bob Brandice. He and Virgil have had it out before, an encounter that left Brandice face-down in the street with two .44 slugs lodged in him. Now, twelve years later on a night train struggling uphill in a thunderstorm, Brandice is back – and he's not alone. Cole and Hitch find themselves in the midst of a heist with a horde of very bad men, two beautiful young hostages, and a man with a vendetta he's determined to carry out.
"Ironhorse hits with the intensity of an eight-gauge shotgun blast… A rip-snorting tale full of sparse dialogue seasoned with wit as dry as an Oklahoma prairie wind and enough flying bullets and buckshot to fill a caboose... Virgil and Everett's fates are in excellent hands."
—Tulsa World
"Robert B. Parker's legion of fans will be thrilled with Ironhorse. Robert Knott, co-writer of the screenplay for Appaloosa - Bob's remarkable western- has penned the next great saga featuring itinerant lawmen Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole. Knott's new novel reads just like vintage Parker and the storyline crackles with all the excitement and humor of what is a perfect continuation of the Hitch/Cole series. Parker fans are going to love it!"
—Ed Harris, Academy Award-nominated actor
Praise for the Cole-Hitch Series
— The Chicago Sun Times
"Add Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch to all the great characters that Robert B. Parker created over the decades to give us enjoyment and entertainment."
"Blue-Eyed Devil shines.…a page-turner of the first order, and updated western that feels as fresh as anything out there….Virgil Cole never misses, not when it matters. Parker didn't either."
—The Boston Globe
"More shifting allegiances, moral dilemmas and characters capable of change than Virgil and Everett's fans may be used to."
"Hitch and Cole, reminiscent of the steely eyed, soft-spoken lawmen Randolph Scott played in the movies, speak volumes to one another with a few words and a nod of the head."
—Associated Press
"Excellent." —Kirkus
"Classic Parker—exciting, suspenseful, fast-moving and entertaining." —Publishers Weekly

Saints Take Care of Braves, Wrap up Series Win
PEMBROKE, NC – North Georgia College
& State University won their second straight game Sunday
afternoon, taking the rubber game of a three-game series 13-4 over
UNC Pembroke in Peach Belt Conference action at Sammy Cox
The Saints improve to 17-14 overall and 9-6 in the Peach Belt Conference with the series victory, while the Braves fall short in a bid for their first PBC series win of the season, moving to 20-11 overall and 3-8 in the league.
North Georgia recorded 19 hits at the plate as they tie a season-high, a task they have matched two other times this year. Brad Hall had a career day offensively, going 3-3 with two home runs, including a grand slam, three runs scored and five runs batted in, while Jordan Erisman drove in three runs on as many hits while launching his fourth home run of the season. Daniel Petitti also recorded a season-high four hits on the day while scoring two of the Saints 13 runs.
North Georgia started their scoring in the third inning with a trio of runs to take a 3-0 lead. Brad Hall led off the inning with a home run to left center, while JD Burgess and Erisman drove in the final two runs of the inning.
After a three spot in the third frame, the Saints came right back in the fifth inning and scored six more runs on a pair of home runs. After Craig Brisson led off the inning with an infield single, Erisman came to the plate and sent a blast to center field, scoring Brisson and making it 5-0. After three straight singles loaded the bases, Hall came to the plate and delivered his second long ball of the game, crushing a grand slam to right center to clear the bases and give the Saints a 9-0 lead.
Andre Airich and Burgess provided RBI singles in the sixth and seventh innings respectively as North Georgia extended their lead to 12-0 heading to the last of the eighth. UNC Pembroke finally got on the board with a two-run homer off the bat of Michael Tancini, to make it 12-2. The Saints added a single run in the ninth as Adam Baker came around to score on a Logan Sharrett fielder's choice, and the Braves put up two runs in the bottom half of the inning as North Georgia got out of town with the 13-4 victory and series win.
Michael Patton (3-2) went the distance for the Saints in the victory, recording North Georgia's first complete game of the season. The sophomore went 9.0 innings, allowing nine hits and four runs while striking out seven.
Jonathan Rivera (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season for UNC Pembroke, giving up five runs on eight hits while striking out two in 4.1 innings of work.
The Saints will now welcome the University of Alabama-Huntsville to town for single games on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Game one of the series is scheduled in primetime for 7:00 p.m., while first pitch for the finale is set for 2:00 p.m.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There's a very interesting new exhibit at Discovery Place! It's called "Animal Grossology", where you find sophisticated animatronics, interactive learning games, and animated characters----all "oozing" with disgusting science.
You get a real education in all the disgusting things animals do in an average day. The new exhibit was adapted from the best-selling "Grossology" children's book series by author/science teacher Sylvia Branzie.
Animal Grossology introduces scientific concepts in ways that make kids of all ages giggle.
You may think leeches are pretty gross but they're used after some surgeries to assist in the healing process.
Did you know that cows are one of the gassiest animals on Earth and actually produce the greenhouse gas methane?
You can learn why the dung beetle is nature's living pooper scooper and why scientists are studying slug and snail slime production for clues in treating cystic fibrosis.
This morning on Larry's Look, we got the behind-the-scenes look at the new exhibit. It was all the sights...and sounds you could imagine.
The only thing missing was "smell-a-vision". It's definitely a hands-on experience, including some unique animals that look like---we'll leave that to your imagination!

From the past, I remembered a girl named Trisha Mitchell from Norwood Elementary School who went on to become a famous model. After I spent a few minutes on the Internet, I discovered that Coburn is Trisha's married name.
According to her website, www.trishacoburn.com, Trisha moved to New York City when she was 18 years old; worked for the famous agency, Wilhelmina; and modeled for 11 years. Then, she married, raised a family, and pursued many interests.
At this point in her life, Coburn is an artist, an interior decorator, a businesswoman, and, now, a writer and storyteller.
Her story, which listeners can hear at http://themoth.org/posts/storytellers/trisha-coburn, is a sad one of a child raised in a large family of children by a mother who liked the bottle and men too much. In a stroke of good fortune, an Anniston businesswoman, Macy Harwell, once spotted Trisha when she worked at a local theater. Trisha was tall and beautiful. Harwell, owner of a local charm school, gave her the one thing all children need – encouragement.
As I read Trisha's biography on her website, I remembered reading accounts in The Anniston Star of Mitchell's growing-up years. One story is about how she first realized she liked the attention of an audience when she attended what was then Norwood Baptist Church. I forget if she quoted Bible scripture during Vacation Bible School or sang a song, but the experience made her want to grow up and be noticed. Eventually, she achieved that goal on a national stage.
Mitchell's performance on The Moth is delivered in a Southern voice. She tells of her family's hardships, her determination to overcome adversity, and her adoration of Mrs. Harwell. Listeners will both laugh and cry as she speaks.
After I updated myself about Trisha, I posted a couple of comments on her website. I hoped I could talk with her and perhaps interview her for this column. According to her blog, though, she has just returned from Europe and may not be available just yet. However, I would like to talk with her in the future and find out if she has written a book. If not, I would think her interesting life would make a good one.
As a child from the Norwood community, where I also attended the same Baptist church, I am always proud of the success of many of my childhood friends and acquaintances. I vaguely remember Trisha, but I never knew of all her struggles. Her achievements make me especially proud.
As a teacher of teenagers, I hope I can encouragement students who need a helping hand along the way and perhaps help them form a vision of how successful they can become.
As a woman, I take inspiration from Trisha's life story. It is important to keep developing new skills and talents and to share the truths of our lives through words – my favorite medium.
As a writer, I surely hope that Trish will continue sharing her story, especially with those of us from her hometown. Her friends and teachers would enjoy learning more about her latest accomplishments.

The Role of REITs for Long-Term Investors
by Brad Case
The German statesman Konrad Adenauer was quoted as saying "We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon."
That's certainly true of investors: We all live among the same set of assets, but how we combine them into an investment portfolio depends on our own circumstances—including our investment horizons.
To simplify, we might say there are two types of investors. The first type—call them tactical—pays attention to short-term fluctuations, hoping to identify opportunities to buy undervalued assets or to sell overvalued ones. Tactical investors play an active role in identifying mispricings and trading in a way that tends to eliminate them. For tactical investors, correlations among asset classes are less important than current valuations—and volatility may actually be good, because it creates trading opportunities.

I just read in Money magazine that
9 times at much money flowed into REITS in 2010 vs. 2009. Also, the price of REIT equity stocks have soared 192% since March 2009. If this is true, why would anyone want to invest in REITS right now?

Jon from New York posted over 2 years ago:
Very interesting article; next, it would be useful to have someone build upon it by suggesting appropriate portfolio allocation percentages for REITs throughout the investor's life cycle; for example, should they replace stocks, bonds or a percentage of each, and, if stocks, what capitalization, what region...
Mary from Maryland posted over 2 years ago:
Figures very blurred whether enlarged or full screen.
Also, I'm new and could use some help. Where do I even get the names of some REITS to evaluate, and would I use the stocks screens to evaluate?
Charles from Illinois posted over 2 years ago:
Mary, if the figures are not appearing correctly on your screen, try printing the .pdf and see if that helps. The physical magazine should be arriving in mailboxes soon as well. As far as identifying REITs, NARIET has a list on its website: http://www.reit.com/IndividualInvestors/REITsinSPIndexes.aspx -Charles Rotblut, AAII
Brian from Georgia posted over 2 years ago:
If you right click on the figures and then "open in new window" or "open in new tab" they are very legible. Double clicking does not appear to do the trick anymore.

All you have to do RIGHT click on the image and choose "Open in a New Tab." The image will then be large, clear and in separate window.
C from Rhode Island posted over 2 years ago:
Correlations are an academic exercise that data miners and people looking to influence others use to ... influence others. What would have this 'correlation view' done to help investors avoid REITS in 1975 when they got creamed .... or in 1990 .... or in 2008 ?
I'm sure NAREIT would love AAII member to pile into REITS that would feed through to more commisions for realtors but it this really in the best interests of AAII investors ? Doubtful. Caveat emptor. Real estate can be a great investment but it is also very illiquid and VERY CYCLICAL. This article says nothing about those cyclical risks at present.
Brad Case says : "Current valuations are less important than low long-term correlations and strong long-term risk-adjusted returns."
This is baloney; current valuations DRIVE risk-adjusted returns so Brad is selling snake oil with this statement.
Ron from Florida posted over 2 years ago:

Are REIT's qualified investments for an IRA? Or are they, like Master Limited Partnerships considered to be off limits due to unrelated business income?
Charles from Illinois posted over 2 years ago:
John, my understanding is that REITs are qualified to be held in an IRA. They typically do not generate UBTI. -Charles Rotblut, AAII
Doug from California posted over 2 years ago:
I have held REITs in an IRA for years, keeping between 10-15% of my total equity allocation. The results have been quite satisfying.
Leonard from Nevada posted over 2 years ago:
I am an ex-stockbroker of 30+yrs. My objective is to accumulate a good portion of my portfolio in REIT's that are extremely oversold and keep a close stop loss as they rise in value over the next 2 yrs or so. We are in an excellent interest rate environment and the fed will keep rates low for the next 2 yrs. Every stock or REIT has a cycle and if you buy into the extreme dips, you should generally be in good shape. Collect the divs and add more to the portfolio as each opportunity arises. Same is true for MLP's.

I remember the Rothschild maxim, to keep 1/3 of assets in real estate, 1/3 in equities and 1/3 in fine arts. I've applied the first part (1/3 in real estate) to my IRA and annuity accounts using RIET mutual funds, and the results have been excellent. very good article that quantifies the rationale for diversification with RIETs.
John Fagan from Connecticut posted 5 months ago:
I use the Vanguard REIT Index keeping it at 5% of my equity portfolio. I re-balance annually in January and have been finding that I am often selling some of my REIT shares and investing in parts of my equity portfolio that have not done as well. I have found that using this index is a lot easier than selecting individual REIT securities.
Peter Rukavena from New York posted 5 months ago:
It is true that the correlation of the overall market with REITS does widen over long periods of time , there is one exception:
Unfortunately during periods of significant decline in the overall markets , REITS start to become highly correlated.
Just look at the levels of correlation with almost every investment during the 2008 meltdown.
Overall , maybe with the exception of some bond investments it pushed 90% plus correlation.
That being said I like REITS as a core asset holding, I currently have a significant position in a number of REITS.
Eric Slater from California posted 5 months ago:
I have had about a 15% allocation to REITS in my equity portion of my IRA for years, and also rebalance annually. I am very satisified with including them, but wonder why the reported P/E ratios for domestic REIT funds are so high compared to foreign REIT funds. I suspect this is due to the accounting of profits, and the fact that 90% must be returned to the stockholders to avoid corporate taxes, but would like to have an explanation from someone in the REIT industry that clarifies this.
Richard Sar from Colorado posted 5 months ago:
My wife inherited a fraction of a REIT a few years ago and my son-in-law is executor for one his dad owned. Getting rid of them as part of an estate is difficult. Think as a mutual fund it would be easier to get rid of.
C Nelson from California posted 5 months ago:
REITs can be good and liquid. Nine years ago a friend (former mortgage banker and developer) suggested I look at a locally based triple-net-lease REIT because he liked their business model (not all REITs are the same!). The group traded on the NYSE "under the radar" at the time. Since it's local I attended their annual meetings - an astute CEO with a sense of humor, clear strategy and outstandingly transparent financial reports. The stock price doubled over the nine years all while paying an increasing monthly dividend (bought more when it dipped in 2008). Beginning this year they completed acquisition of another REIT and increased the dividend significantly. But recently the CEO retired and institutions now own a much larger percentage; such changes raise my nervousness level, so watching closely while holding (in my IRAs). The stock, Realty Income, trades under the symbol "O".
William Curtis from Kentucky posted 5 months ago:
REITS are cyclical, I have owned Vanguard's VGSLX since early 2009 and it did very well. I dropped them about mid-year due to the threat of Fed taper. As bond rates go up, REIT dividends become less appealing on a risk-adjusted basis. They have been under-performing the S&P since about mid 25013. I will buy again when they start to rise.
Sanford Levey from Massachusetts posted 4 months ago:
I don't currently own any reits but would like to purchase some. I would appreciate any guidance re: the Timing to buy in. Thanks.

I was a member here a while ago (can't even remember my old user name) and figured I'd come on back!
I'm from New England. Late 20s, married, mechanical engineer who enjoys knitting, vegetable gardening, and reading. Mr. Bug and I have a dog and a cat, no kids yet.
My brother is on active duty in the military, he recently re-enlisted, and we're very proud of him. We support our troops regardless of politics.
We live in a mostly-Dem, middle-class community about 30 minutes outside Hartford, CT. I tend to be a fiscal conservative and social moderate. Mr. Bug is politically independent, but his family is quite liberal and it leads to some interesting discussions at Sunday dinner!

If you want to be in the city center this is not the place to be but if you want friendly hosts, awesome food, and breathtaking views this is definitely the place for you! This B&B is up in the hills and is very convenient with a car but if you don't have one Michele & Erika will pick you up from the airport/train station and take you into the city and pick you up. They have a wonderful place that's great for relaxing and Michele is a great cook. Try the horse!

Engineering & Technical Services
The NVCA's Engineering and Technical Services program provides science-based support for land and water resources management including natural heritage programs, as well as technical expertise to forecast and monitor floods and erosion.
The engineering department of the Authority has a number of responsibilities:
engineering support for planning decisions (subwatershed planning, environmental assessment, hydraulic and hydrologic studies, stormwater management report review)
engineering support under the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation 172/06
support for special construction projects or CA or municipal studies
support the Nottawasaga Low Water Response Team
maintain a flood forecasting and warning system
operations, maintenance and inspection of flood control dams, dykes and erosion control structures
disbursement of monies to municipalities for ice management
The program provides engineering, environmental monitoring, geographic information and information technology services in support of the Authority's mandate for the conservation of the environment, and the prevention of loss of life/reduction of flood damages.
Broken into several separate but closely linked program groups, Engineering & Technical Services provides comprehensive water resource management to meet delegated responsibilities and technical support for overall Authority business functions:
The Engineering Program reflects the engineering services provided to the Authority, outside of the Ministry of Natural Resources Grant program, to support administration of the regulations, non-eligible plan review, and other special projects. Plan review is the major activity in this program. The majority of the engineering work program is related to the Ministry of Natural Resources flood damage prevention program and the description of the work program is more fully described in Flood and Erosion Hazard Management.
The Geographic Information System and IT Support Program provides GIS services to support the Authority programs and provides IT support services for Authority staff through a network system.
The Watershed Monitoring Program provides both aquatic and terrestrial biological support in three program areas, Watershed Health Monitoring Program, Natural Heritage System Program, and Special Projects.
The Groundwater Management Program is involved in multiple areas dealing with groundwater including Source Water Protection, the Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network, technical plan review, and special benefitting projects.
The Authority receives funding from the Ministry of Natural Resources for our Flood and Erosion Hazard Management Program. The funding supports the operation and maintenance of flood and erosion control structures, flood forecasting and warning, chronic ice management, watershed management and technical studies related to natural hazards.
In addition, staff participate in numerous special projects related to non-core program initiatives of mutual Authority, municipal and provincial interests. These projects provide an opportunity for additional funding related to changing Conservation Authority roles, political priorities and public expectations.

The priciest midterm election in U.S. history saw a Republican tide sweep numerous Democrats out of office, as voters anxious about the state of the economy ousted more House incumbents from office than any time since 1948.

- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

Thank you.
It's simple good manners.
On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
So God agreed......
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God agreed......
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed again......
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God. "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.
Thank you.
It's simple good manners.

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, zsh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.

Not right?
Results 1-3of 3 Reviews
by Migin
February 1, 2005
Mt Tabor is younger than most other regional volcanoes, and as such, died in geologic childhood. The land had been a park 3 years; bits scooped from the cinder cone atop, crushed, even used for park road surfacing, before the true nature of that topographical feature was realized. A staggeringly surprising fact to me. Today, a plaque commemorates remnants of this cinder cone, part of the Boring Lava Field. [John Boring was the first postmaster in the nearby community of Boring, Oregon.]
The OLA Map (indicating the dog off-leash area location) shows the 195.66-acre park's road layout. Enter on the road at the very top, turn right, and proceed to the large parking area. The squiggle of lines represents the scooped out cinder cone. On the ground, it's behind the basketball court and outdoor theater, with a large picnic pavilion and playground across the road to the left and behind you. The plaque is actually embedded into a chunk of lava. In fact, if you keep your eyes open throughout the park, you'll see bits and chunks of lava all over, in retaining walls for instance.
Crisscrossed by trails, the elevation changes also make the park a good workout for joggers or cyclists. Other facilities include a playground, five tennis courts, a volleyball court, a horseshoe pit, and other picnic areas.
My last visit to Tabor was a slightly misty afternoon, where the mist creates a closed world of intimacy between the moistened air and anybody coming within its influence. There is also a late December chill. The summit access road was closed (it is occasionally), but steps climb the hillside from where that road diverges (the point where those roads merge has parking) and the climb is worth the effort.
A much larger-than-life sized statue of Harvey W. Scott, conservative editor (1866-1910) of The Oregonian tops one end of the summit, his colossal right hand pointing west like Horace Mann. The last vestiges of blossoms clinging tenaciously to rose bushes at his feet.
The 600-foot tall Mt Tabor is covered in tall trees effectively blocking the view, adding an insulated feeling to the hilltop. Periodic view notches created in the tree line open much anticipated gifts: sweeping views of Mt Hood and Portland. Lake-like reservoirs add to the park's picturesque quality. Occasional benches allow you to linger comfortably.

How good it's at dissipating heat, while on a desk
I'm looking for a stand that doesn't rise the laptop too much, since my current desktop surface (for monitors, etc) is high enough, but:
- How good is iLap with heat issues (the main concern for which i'm looking for a stand). There's no information of how is the bottom of the surface in which the laptop rests (there are holes for heat diss.?).
- How does the laptop fits in the stand, theres is any rubber to make sure the thing doesn't move?

Which is the better product. iLap or mStand?
I am looking to buy either of these 2 stands. I will mainly be using this stand on my desk at work/home.
- Asked by Kelly W from Sydney
- Nov 24, 2009
- Flag as inappropriate (Which is the better product. iLap or mStand?)
How practical/impractical would it be to take iLap on trips? Is it too cumbersome to travel with? (Mainly referring to airline travel.)
I don't imagine iLap is terribly friendly for hauling around, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I do a fair share of traveling, and it would make a nice "temporary desk" when I'm away from home or am in the air for eight hours. Additionally, I am a student, and it would also be beneficial if I could take this with me on campus as well, but I'm sure that's a stretch.

Let Your Light Shine
Report of President Inelda González to the Women's Division board of directors
"You and I were made to give light—to put our lives to work, to apply our patience in difficult trying situations—to let our light shine," said Ms. Inelda González, president of United Methodist Women. "We have a responsibility to be personally and intimately involved. We have no excuse, no excuse to neglect those who have deep needs."
Ms. González addressed the board of directors, guests and staff on Monday, October 10, 2011 during the annual board meeting of the Women's Division in New York City. In her speech Ms. Gonzalez challenged each one to live true to our calling and be the "difference makers." "Jesus did not say 'Go and do whatever you think is best.' No, Jesus gave us an assignment to go and make a difference," she pointed out.
Ms. González affirmed the dedication and the work of United Methodist Women through the years that has impacted the lives of women, children and youth around the world. "Although the organization's name has changed many times, United Methodist Women has truly made a difference in many lives," she reflected.
The calling to participate in God's mission is to each one of us. "God uses people like us. People like you and me," Ms. González emphasized. She gave examples of people of the Bible, who were not always highly qualified or influential and yet accomplished the work of God. "God has often selected the unlikely people of this world to be his special difference makers." Can we respond with faith, hope and love in action?
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
The complete text of Ms. González's speech appears below:
How often do you brighten up the lives of others with special acts of kindness? How often do you look for opportunities to touch lives? You don't have to be perfect, rich, highly educated, in good health or exceptionally intelligent. Regardless of who you are, where you live, where you were born or how often you have failed at doing something, you still can make a difference. Why should we as United Methodist Women bother making a difference? Because our world depends on it. Our world would never survive if people did not help one another. We need each other to survive. Where would this be without good Samaritans? What would have happened to the robbed, beaten and half-dead man if the Good Samaritan hadn't stopped to help? Who would help the poor, the sick, the poor in spirit and those afflicted throughout the world? Without compassionate people, the world would disintegrate into chaos.
Jesus never told his audience how the Good Samaritan felt when he left the inn and continued on his journey. I am sure that he felt fulfilled because he had done something useful and good for his fellow man. Isn't that what United Methodist Women do? When were you first moved to do for others? I will always remember the faithful Christian women in Boston in 1869 when the Lord called them to action and they made a difference in the lives of women in India and in Korea. The dedicated women in Boston had a major impact around the world for women and girls in general.
The dedication of those women is still alive and has prospered. The number of women organized for missions began to grow by leaps and bounds. The women used creative ways to raise funds to support those in critical need. When we help others, we help ourselves. A deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment floods into our lives when we take the time and energy to do something worthwhile for others--even if it's just to lend them a hand. God expects this from us. There is no better exercise for strengthening the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
What kind of people does God use to be difference makers? Most of the people who made a difference in the Bible were not well known. They were not all that talented. Most of them didn't seem to be qualified for the work that God gave them. Mary was a simple peasant girl who pleased God and became the mother of the Messiah. Rehab was used by God even though she had worked as a prostitute. Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told his disciples to go into the world and make disciples. To me, Jesus meant for us to go out and make a difference in the lives of women, children and youth. He didn't say, "Go and do whatever you think is best." No, Jesus gave us an assignment. "Go and make a difference." Yet, God doesn't always use people who are wise or influential. He has often selected the unlikely people of this world to be his special difference makers. So, who do you know of that was or is a difference maker?
Although the organization's name has changed many times, the United Methodist Women has truly made a difference in many lives. Throughout the years, the community centers our predecessors began in many communities have impacted the lives of many women, children and youth. Many of you sitting here and others before you have provided a variety of services to the poor, the lost and those in need. Whatever their needs were, they were never turned away.
God uses people like us. Like you and me. When women were not yet allowed to be ordained, deaconesses were trained and served in areas where there was need. Deaconesses, home missioners and home missionaries continue playing a very important role in the lives of many people in all walks of life.
These acts of mercy do not stress our time, money or strength. They are simple acts freely given and freely received. We are led to make a difference with one person at a time. This type of service is not to say that it is without cost to us. The call to each of us is the call to become personally involved in the lives of those who are hurting and to touch them with our lives.
A friend told me a story that I will never forget. It was about cleaning out an old desk drawer and finding an old flashlight. The flashlight wouldn't work. The batteries were badly corroded. He realized he had put the flashlight in a warm and comfortable spot, but it wasn't intended to be warm and comfortable. It was intended to give light. It's the same with us. We weren't created to be warm, safe and comfortable. You and I were made to be turned on--to put our lives to work, to apply our patience in difficult, trying situations--to let our light shine. We have a responsibility to be personally and intimately involved. We have no excuse, no excuse to neglect those who have deep needs, and we cannot hand over this responsibility to the church or to our government.
In a world full of great problems, we might think that our personal service is not very meaningful. Can our service really make a difference? We may not always receive the pats on the back, or the thanks as we serve those in need, but those acts do not go unnoticed and they do bring blessings to us and to those whom we serve.
To live that way that God calls us to is not an easy task. When we live with the attitude that every act of kindness is a direct service to Christ, we will be rewarded by him. We will find sufficient energy and drive to meet the needs that come our way. We need to offer our hands to those in need. We must look for ways to help others. Let's allow Jesus to make a difference in our lives.
Let us not quit. Let us not tire. Let us keep our PURPOSE before us always.
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, wrote a challenging poem for all Methodists, but this poem truly describes the work United Methodist Women members do with women, children and youth here and abroad.
For the closing, I would like for all of us to repeat this poem and etch it upon our hearts.
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.


text: White House Warns of Veto On House Farm Bill Obama Administration calls SNAP cuts in Farm Bill 'unacceptable'; House ready to begin floor debate Published on: Jun 18, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The White House Monday issued a statement of Administration policy regarding the 2013 House Farm Bill, noting big complaints with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance cuts and crop insurance subsidies as the bill stands. According to the statement, suggested changes included reduction of crop insurance subsidies to provide for return of cuts to SNAP funding. "Rather than reducing crop insurance subsidies by $11.7 billion over 10 years, as proposed in the President's Budget, H.R. 1947 would increase reference prices for farmers by roughly 45% and increase already generous crop insurance subsidies at a cost of nearly $9 billion over 10 years to the Nation's taxpayers," the statement noted.Obama Administration calls SNAP cuts in Farm Bill 'unacceptable'; House ready to begin floor debate Conservation compliance, which appears in the Senate-passed version of the Farm Bill, is also a top priority for the Obama Administration. But if the Administration's needs aren't met, a veto could be imminent. "If the President were presented with H.R. 1947, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill," the statement said. As outlined in the President's budget, the Administration said it supports disaster program extensions, rural development expansion, strong nutrition programs and conservation elements in a new Farm Bill, and suggested continued participation in the approval process. "The Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to achieve crop insurance and commodity program savings not contained in H.R. 1947, while at the same time strengthening the farm safety net in times of need and supporting the next generation of farmers," the statement said. Still plenty of work to do As the President's advisers review the bill as it stands, the House Rules Committee Monday began trimming amendments to the bill. The committee on Tuesday at 1 p.m. central time will continue discussion on the Farm Bill's amendments. According to House Majority Leader scheduling, the House is expected to begin Farm Bill discussion Tuesday afternoon.

Peace Pole Dedicated in the Rain Outside Kerckhoff Hall
The crowd listened to brief remarks by Undergraduate Students Association Council President Homaira Hosseini and by third-year political science student Ben Moore, who initiated the idea of bringing a peace pole to UCLA.
Published: Monday, January 26, 2009
By Wendy Soderburg
ABOUT 100 stalwarts — with and without umbrellas — braved the rain on Jan. 23 to celebrate the dedication of a "peace pole" in UCLA's Meyerhoff Park. Soggy spectators cheerfully gathered on the grassy hill outside of Kerckhoff Hall to take their first look at the eight-foot-tall limestone monument, inscribed with the words "May peace prevail on Earth" in 14 languages.
"It's terrible weather, but we all recognize that, rain or shine, we are here for an extremely important purpose," said Chancellor Gene Block. "You all recognize as well as I do that peace is not a passive process. . It happens because of effort. And the kinds of effort I'm talking about we're all familiar with. It's compassion; it's understanding; it's willingness to recognize that human beings are all the same.
"If everyone recognizes that, that gives us a real chance to have world peace," Block said.
The crowd listened to brief remarks by Undergraduate Students Association Council President Homaira Hosseini and by third-year political science student Ben Moore, who initiated the idea of bringing a peace pole to UCLA. Together with Chancellor Block, Hosseini pulled a green ribbon that was tied around the peace pole — the first one to be installed on the campus of a major American university.
Fourteen UCLA students then stepped up to recite the pole's message, each one in a different language. Finally, the crowd engaged in an enthusiastic UCLA eight-clap, but instead of the usual "Fight, fight, fight" at the end of the cheer, everyone chanted, "Peace, peace, peace!"
Julie Skrupa, an administrative specialist in the chancellor's office, came out in the rain to witness the dedication. "After 9/11 happened, I was living in Boston. And in August 2002, there was a peace pole at an event I was working," she said. "So it's something I truly believe in, something I think is wonderful, and it makes a very strong statement about how we as humans should be living and the things we should be remembering. So when I found out we were doing this on campus, I decided I wouldn't miss it."

So much of the draft talk for 2013 has been revolving around American defenseman standout Seth Jones. While the big, mobile, and often dominant blue liner deserves the headlines, there is another defensive stud to watch for. He too is quite large with a 6-3, 205 pound frame that he is able to move around well, and he also plays with maturity beyond his age.
Just like Jones, if his birthdate was not late in 1994, then he would has heard his name called early at the podium this past June in Pittsburgh. If you haven't a clue yet on this up and coming prospect, I am talking about the Finnish defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.
He again is set to play this season with the big boys of the top professional league of Finland, SM-liiga, for TPS Turku. I recently got a good personal viewing of this potential top ten selection for the upcoming NHL Draft.
He participated a few weeks ago at the National Junior Evaluation Camp that ran August 4-11th in Lake Placid, NY. Here along with his fellow countrymen he played a series of games against the best under-20 players from the United States and Sweden.
You notice his game right away because it is pretty entertaining to see such a big body move so soundly but also he can handle the puck extraordinarily well. He is able to find the open man most efficiently too. Ristolainen does not have blazing speed, although he can get going up the ice nicely and will create opportunities offensively with this.
During the NJEC, he displayed his heavy wrister and bomb of a shot a few times from the point.
For a 17-year old, he can still improve upon his strength, but more so to perhaps be more explosive in his skating. His defensive game was quite good as he positioned himself well constantly, controlled his gaps, used his long reach, and was reliable in one-on-one situations. He plays very strong along the walls, corners, and has mean attitude as well.
He could stand to play with more care in his own zone, but that will come with time and development. He anticipates suitably and with more playing time this season he will gain more confidence and only grow his game.
The KHL already took a shot at this Scandinavian gem in their draft as he was he went in the first round, 12th overall to Amur Khabarovsk in 2012.
It is very difficult to find that all-around, complete defenseman that makes crisp outlet passes, will jump into the play to get involved offensively, plays poised with the puck, sound defensively, and physical with an intimidating physique.
The WJCs this winter in Ufa, Russia will have many eyes upon Ristolainen. Let's just hope your favorite NHL team has the opportunity to select him come June.

The Museum Suq
Denise Browning
Even with the museum still under renovation, this has been a very busy year for the Suq. We started off in October with the second annual Oriental Rug Symposium and sale, with piles of rugs from Afghanistan, Morocco, Turkey, Central Asia, and Egypt. Our speakers included our own Robert Biggs, McGuire Gibson, and John Sanders, as well as Susan Gomersall, Maury Bynum, and Peter Stone. We had a good turn out for the symposium and sold over 300 rugs. With little time to catch our breath we exhibited a booth at the Newberry Library's Very Merry Bazaar for four days the weekend before Thanksgiving, producing record sales and answering many questions about the renovation. As soon as we unpacked from the Newberry we packed up again and moved to Harper Court for the opening of our second store, Museums, Etc. Thanks to the efforts of Bud Haas we were able to acquire a very enviable space in Harper Court during the holiday season. Mark Johnson of the Harper Court Foundation was very gracious and helpful in meeting all of our specialized needs. We invited the DuSable Museum and the Robie House to join us. Kasha Yankovich from the Robie House and Donna Metz from the DuSable Museum were a pleasure to work with and I am sure that we will find many more projects on which to collaborate in the future. At the same time we had our December sale in the Suq. We would never have made it without the extra help from our volunteers Norma van der Meulen, Jane Thain, Bud and Cissy Haas, and our friends Lawrence Klevan and Joan Friedrich who manned the Museums, Etc. Store. Then came the Annual Dinner where we decorated the former Palestinian Gallery walls with a wonderful new shipment of rugs from Afghanistan that were later sold during the year end inventory sale. We never anticipated how busy we would be during the construction, but we are now focusing on the challenges that the opening of the new galleries will bring to the Suq.
A very special thanks to Christine Chen who graduated this spring and will be leaving us soon. Her many talents have greatly enhanced the Suq. She has ordered our books, designed displays, created beautiful jewelry, organized the office, carried tons of rugs, and with the help of Susan Atkin designed the Museums, Etc. Store and created beautiful chalk drawings on the sidewalks of the quads announcing our sales.
We will also be losing Aysha Haq after fours years. She has been responsible for filling all of our mail orders and working at many of our special events.
Many thanks to Florence Ovadia who creates our beautiful displays and to Georgie Maynard who keeps our books restocked.
