Altered Birth Certificates
Is altering a birth certificate illegal? Oh yes! and something needs to be done to stop it!
Estelle Crawford of Washington, USA born 1944 at 11:55pm
I have only meet one other person born on the same day and year, that person was a twin, but I never met the twin. My mother wanted the doctors to change my birthdate to March 1, 1944, since she felt I was born closer to March 1 than February 28, 1944, she thought it would be better to change the date. Lucky for me the doctor refused. I love being a leapyear baby. Every year that doesn't have a leap year, my mother calls me on March 1st and wishes me a happy birthday and I of course, remind her, that she is late, since I was not born in March.
Mary Carolyn Brown of California, USA born 1948 at 1800
When I was born, the doctor asked my mother if she wanted to change my birthdate to Feb. 28 or March 1 but my mother said, "That's not her birthday. Its Feb. 29!" - Way to go Ma!
Larry Hollingsworth of Texas, USA born 1944 at 120AM
My mother tried to have the doctor change the time so I would not have a leap year birthday.
Alice Middleton of Indiana, USA born 1948 at 12:24 am
My mother did not want me to be born on Leap Day and asked the doctor to hurry me up or delay until March 1st. As you can see, I knew I was important. As the oldest of 11 children I was lucky to have an odd birthdate so it is easy for siblings to remember it.
Gerald McKenzie of Selkirk, Ontario, Canada born 1936 at p.m.
Mother didn't appreciate me being born on "leap" day, and wanted the Doctor to change it. Of course he couldn't and wouldn't. Its been a lot of fun and conversational over the years, especially getting married at 4 1/2 .
Melissa Smith of Mississippi, USA born 1952 at 6:00AM
The elderly doctor who delivered me in south Alabama considered it bad luck to be born on Leap Year and tried to falsify my birth certificate. I'm glad he didn't succeed!
Paula Robazek of Wisconsin, USA born 1952
My mother did not want me to be born on Leap Day and often apologized for me being born that day. I have always felt it was special to have February 29th as my birthday and am proud to be a Leap Year baby. This year I am officially a teenager - 13. In High School there was a boy with the same birthday as mine. He is the only other Leap Year baby I have ever known. To be a Leap Year baby means you are forever young!!!!
Pastor (Mrs.) Lydia Okon of Lagos, Nigeria born 1952 at 7.00am
My mum said she wished that I be born on the 28th February, to enable me celebrate my birthday yearly. Its fun, as this has made me a very Special child,in my family, town, country and the entire world. I met someone 4yrs older than me, one 8yrs younger and one who is 4yrs younger than me - here in Nigeria.

I was born in Wichita, Ks. There were 8 other people born on that day.5 of us were deliverd by Dr.Jay Kay Wisdom...He refused to sign our birth certificates until March 1....The reason he gave me was "I only get one day off every 4years..and you kids came on that day off..."

Noah Lowery of Tennessee, USA born 2004 at 3:03 pm
I was initially upset that my little one was born on Leap Day! However after reading all of the fun stuff on this website, I am getting excited that his birthday is on such a special day! Thanks for your help! Melinda and Noah Lowery
Keaton Matthew of Michigan, USA born 2004 at 6PM
My son was due on 2-29-04. The doctor asked me if I wanted to change the due date. I said no and that I thought it was a neat due date. I thought a Leap Day Baby would be really neat, but he was due then and what are the odds of coming on your due date? Well, contractions started the morning of February 29th. I thought well, it might happen after all. Keaton was born at 6PM, right on his due date, Leap Day!
Mollie Anne Simmons of Massachusetts, USA born 2004 at 7:02 PM
I was due to be born on March 18, my parents were hoping for March 17, St. Patrick's day, as we are Irish. My parents were joking on Feb 28 and said "as long as she is not born tomorrow, she can come anytime!" I fooled them!
Matthew John Cain of South Shields, England, UK born 2004 at 2323
Well as you can see I have still not had a real birthday yet! When my mom found out I was due around 29 Feb, she was determined I wasn't going to be born on that day - then my mom went into labour late on 28 Feb and she just knew I was going to be a leap year baby! We are really happy I have a leap year birthday now - it just makes me even more special - and I made it into the local paper when I was only hours old!!!
Audrie Winer of Maryland, USA born 1956 at 12:11 am
My mother cried (during labor) when the doctor said I was going to be born on the 29th instead of the 28th. Then she cried that day when the newspaper came out without my picture and a story.
Cathy Dougherty of Florida, USA born 1956 at 12:30am
Happy Birthday Leap Year Babies. My mother begged the doctor to turn my b-day into the 28th. He couldn't because it was too far past 12:00 a.m. I'm glad because I really feel special and get lots of attention on my leap year birthdays!
John Duprie of Michigan, USA born 1956 at 12:30am
I was born just after midnight. So they but 11:45pm as birth time. I think a lot of people have that done too.
Jan Canevari of California, USA born 1956 at 12:54 am
My parents did not want me to be born on Leap Day and I find that it has always been fun and unusual. I love it!
John Huffman of Ohio, USA born 1956 at 2:00 a.m.
Yeah I know one friend in particular who has a Leap Day b.d. and know of some other friends of friends. He said something like his mother's doctor said she had to choose either 2/28 or 3/1 for his birth certificate! What the hell is up w/that? *Idiot* doctor.
Steve Horton of Michigan, USA born 1956 at 0200
I can't believe people think it's bad to be born on this day. A nurse friend told me justt last night that they had a mother come in on feb 27, she wanted to have her labor induced so that she was sure not to have a leap year baby. What a rip off!!!!
Leslie Ernest Hand of Florida, USA born 1956 at 12:30am
I met and worked with one other person, and he died in the last couple of years. when I worked with him in 1976, and he was 16 and I was 5 in leap years. The following story has been told leap year after leap year; When my mother was pregnant with me, my dad's brother's wife (my Aunt was also pregnant). My uncle wanted their baby to be born on Leap day, and my mom didn't, and as you can now see I was and she wasn't. My cousin Sherry was born 12 days later, and we are closest cousins in my two families.
Shayla Spires of California, USA born 2004 at 5:26 AM
I am registering my daughter who was born this year (2004) on Feb. 29th. At first I was not too thrilled about it, but now I realize it's just one more thing that makes her so special.
Steven Kent Silvia of Massachusetts, USA born 2004 at 6:32 AM
Hello, My name is Leslie Silvia and my son was born on Leap Day, my due date was March 20, 2004. My husband and I bought our first house on February 12, 2004 and we decided that we would wait until February 28, 2004 to move in. That would give us time to paint, clean and do whatever we needed to do to get the house ready. So February 28th comes and we move in. I was very tired so all I wanted was to make sure my bed was set up. So I went to bed around 9:00PM and at 3:00AM my water breaks. I hop in the shower only to realize I didn't have anything to wash with or a towel to dry off with because they were all packed in boxes. My husband was rummaging through boxes to find me some soap and a towel. On my way out the door I realize it was Leap Day. At first I did not want my baby born on Leap Day, I thought of when his birthday would be. But then I realized that we would just have to have 2 Birthdays for him each year and when it is a Leap Year he will have one really Big Birthday. Well needless to say, my son Steven Kent Silvia was born February 29, 2004 @ 6:32AM.
Irene Louise Mursu of Minnesota, USA born 2004 at 7:29 AM
When my mom went to the hospital at 9:00 p.m. on February 28, she thought she would have things taken care of by midnight and avoid a Leap Day Baby. I showed her my independent spirit and decided to arrive at 7:30 Leap Day morning -- a testament to my strong will.
Alec Merchan of California, USA born 2004 at 8:54 a.m
My mom did not want to have me on the 29th, so she decided to get induced. Then she changed her mind...she thought "he will choose the best day" ... and I did, Feb. 29th, 2004!
Drago of California, USA born 2004 at 9:06 am
My Name is Lisa, my son Drago is a Leaper, this year will be his 1st/4th birthday. I have never met anyone else born on Leap day. When I found out I was pregnant with my son my original due date was Feb 29th, we thought it was funny but as I got further along they moved my due date back to Feb 16th and I was glad because I thought the whole leap thing would be weird and confusing. I think it must have been fate because my cute, quirky, lovable little guy ended up coming 2 weeks late and landed right on Leap Day where it seems he was meant to be. He is at the age now where I would like to teach him about Leap Day, his Bday is coming up and I'd like to do something fun for him and his preschool class that day and am looking for any suggestions. Thanks, Lisa
Harley of Hawaii, USA born 2004 at 9:33 AM
Aloha, I'm Jackie, I gave birth to my daughter on the leap year 2004. My due date wasn't until March 07, but I had a seizure and my pregnancy was induced. When I had found out that this year was a leap year and that my due date was near that day, I was a little worried that there was a possibility that it might land on that day. At first I didn't want my daughter to have a birthday that came only every 4 years, but then I realized after I gave birth that it's special, because of the chances of being born on that day are slim. And I am so proud that my daughter is one of the few, it only makes her evem more SPECIAL!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to all you other leapers!!! This confused people, so I think next year I'll just say "The 29th" and let them ask further if they want. Yay for Leap Day babies!!
Jaime Joslin of Wisconsin, USA born 2004 at 11:55am
My due date was leap day! I had received lots of comments on how weird that would be, and a few that thought that it would be great. I didn't think that I would have her on my due date, as everyone had told me that it doesn't happen often. I thought that it would be really neat. as the day came near, I was very nervous, Jaime is my first child. On the 28th, my husband and I took a mile walk around 10:00 pm. I really wanted to have her on leap day! We came home, watched a movie and went to bed. I sat straight up in bed with pains at 2:15am. I new that it was time. I went to the hospital at 6:00am and gave birth at 11:55am. the labor wasn't bad at all. I was pretty lucky to have had her on leap day. I think that it is really special. I hope she thinks the same when she's older.:)
Brookelynn Fleming of Michigan, USA born 2004 at 2pm
My daughter was not due for another 4 weeks when she decided it was leap day and no holding her back. She was the only baby born in St. Clair County Michigan. She was 4 weeks early weighing in at 8lbs 9 ozs. Her grandmother was telling me she WILL NOT be born today. As today she has a birthday every year on the 28 and is spoiled rotten.
Grace Annamaria Holden of Massachusetts, USA born 2004 at 2:15pm
I was due on April Fool's Day, but thought Leap Year Day would be more fun!!!!! Mommy was very sad at first, thinking I'd get cheated out of birthdays, but we soon found out I actually get more celebrations than anyone! I can't wait to turn 1 this year!!!!! We will be having a 'Frog Prince' themed party...because I love Princesses, so we had to work them in somehow!
Christopher Hale of Ohio, USA born 2004 at 3:26 p.m.
I would just like to say that Christopher is my son and I think this is so cool and unique that he was born on Leap Day! My other son was born on February 28th 2000 and he was almost a Leap Year baby, and I had a choice to have his birthday either on February 28th or February 29th. I chose the 28th of course, but if I knew that my second son was going to be born on Leap Day I would have had two Leap Year babies. So how neat that would have been.
Joan Gardner of South Carolina, USA born 1932 at ?
Yesterday I had a physical before having cataract surgery next week. The person administering the exam said I never met a Leap year person before. She then asked if she could tell her son who just that very morning heard about leap year babies and thought how terrible to have only one party in four years. I told him I get to celebrate two days every three years (the 28th and March 1st).
Nicole Hales of UK born 2004 at 6.59 am
I am registering my daughter, its nice to find a whole site dedicated to this as we were getting a little worried about how to explain it to her. We will celebrate on 1st March this year as in a 'normal' year she would have been born in March.
Charlotte Dear Wolff of Indiana, USA born 1952 at 1800
I've only met three others who were born on leap year day..a set of twins, a cab driver in NYC and amazingly just found out that a coworker is a Leaper. Turns out her birth certificate was altered to March first and has always been celebrated then by family but she KNEW in her heart she was a leaper and held February 29 as her true day.
Cynthia of California, USA born 1948 at PM
My mother always told me that I was a month overdue and when she went to the hospital on February 29th she told the Nuns that there was no damn way she was having her baby on LEAPYEAR!!! I guess you shouldn't swear in a Catholic Hospital! I was indeed born on the 29th! It has always amazed me how many people notice that date on my ID. At the market, the DMV, almost anywhere I have to show my ID, someone always asks when I celebrate or how old am I really? I get a kick out of it!
Sharon Potts of Texas, USA born 1956 at 5:15 am
I was born on the 29th of February 1956, in Roswell NM. I was born in the hospital at Walker Air Force Base. My mom has told me she had to send back my birth certificate because they put the 28th on it. My boyfriend is alway telling me that I am the one that got away. It is kinda strange to be born not only on the 29th but to also be born in Roswell NM. I have never met anyone else born on the 29th but have met people who know someone born on that day.
Mary Klimchak Jelinek of Queens, New York, USA born 1920
I am entering this for my mother, Mary Klimchak Jelinek, who was born on Feb 29, 1920 in the small town of Jarembina, Slovakia. She came to the US at the age of two, and only recently discovered through a Slovak birth certificate that she was a leap year baby. Her "20th" birthday is being celebrated as I write this today, Feb. 29, 2000.
Jill of Virginia, USA born 1956 at 9:12 pm
As my mom was in the delivery room, she told me that she said over and over that she would not have a baby born on February 29th. Well, her wish almost came true as I was born at 9 pm. I am so glad that I didn't wait 3 more hours. As I get older, I find that it is more fun being a Leap Year Baby. This is an early "Happy Birthday" to all fellow Leapers. Have fun on your special day!!
Check this out...
I received an email that addresses a subject I think is worth sharing. Below is a copy of that email, with permission from who sent it to me, and my response is below that. - Raenell
Hi! I am a fellow Leap Year Baby (1980), I love it. My boss found out the other day and she said that her son was almost born on Leap year (2000) and that she had to pick either the 28th or the 1st if that were to happen. Isn't that crazy? The doctors said it screwed up databases and computer systems. Have you heard of this?
Oh my! You have just pressed one of my major Leap Day *Buttons* and I will do my best to keep from staying on my Leap Day Soap Box for too long. :o) (but be warned - Her Royal Leapness is passionate about this!)
Yes, I have heard of that. This is Raenell from Leapyearday.com. There are several members of the Honor Society of Leap Day Babies who tell of such stories.
Some tell of the doctor or nurse suggesting the parent allow them to put the date of Feb 28 or Mar 1 on the birth certificate, and would give the parent the choice.
Others tell of their parent making the request to the doctor or nurse to put one of the alternate dates.
Parents of Leap Day Babies have even shared with us that they are the ones who made the suggestion for their little Leaplings birth certificate.
Most of them say their reason is to protect the child from the problems the date of Feb 29 will bring into their lives. I have a list of just a few of the things we Leap Day babies have gone through. The following was told to us by members of the Honor Society of Leap Day Babies (HSOLDB):
- There are 2 women in the HSOLDB who are trying to get their birth certificate corrected from one of the alternate dates to February 29, the actual day they were born on.
- There are members who say they have a birth certificate with February 29 on it, and a drivers license with one of the alternate dates. Too many Leap Day Babies let that happen. Don't take a drivers license with someone else's birth date on it. It's not right. There is no reason we can't have the correct date of birth on our drivers license. (The reasons they give are not acceptable) (Period)
- Some have February 29 on their birth certificate and were not told they were born on that date until later in life. One member said she was 13 when she found out. Another said they were an adult.
- There are many members of the HSOLDB with a drivers license that has one of the alternate dates on it. All because their government agency, the Department of Motor Vehicles, doesn't have a computer system that accounts for this extra day happening.
We don't have to do things like that. This extra day has been happening every four years (with the exceptions, of course) for OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS! Since before JESUS!
It's about time the government agencies, and everyone else, program their computer programs for Leap Day. It's just going to keep happening... every four years. Why do we keep making it so hard on everyone.
The problem is that people just don't know what this day is and why it's there. I want to change that.
People have complained about this date and I understand their complaints. They need to understand though, that if this extra day doesn't exist, our calendar will be out of balance with the seasons.
That's why I do what I do. One of my missions in life is to bring about Leap Year Day Awareness (LYDA). We haven't had the proper education on the subject so people see it as a nuisance instead of something worthy of celebration.
February 29 is on the calendar for one reason. To keep the calendar in balance with the seasons so we can have the same seasons at the same time each year.
February 29 also has a name. It's called Leap Day, or Leap Year Day. And it is spelled with lower case letters. Well, if Leap Day is the Name of this day, then it deserves to have the first letters capitalized just like New Years Day is, and Groundhog Day.
But alas, it's not even on the calendar anyway! This is another mission that people tease me about (and that's OK, I can handle it) February 29 deserves to have the words Leap Day written in that box. If they can put Groundhog Day in print, then Leap Day is to be in print also. For if it were not for that extra day, we wouldn't be able to predict, with such precision, when to expect that groundhog!
I'm not going to cure any major diseases on these little missions'O'mine, nor am I going to achieve world peace. Accomplishing those things are not my goal. I do this because it deserves to be done. I think God put the passion for it in my heart. I'm glad because I'm having fun with it.
I've been asked if I would be this passionate about it if I were not born on Leap Day. Well, I'll never know that. I do know that when I did research on why my birthday wasn't on the calendar, I found some really interesting facts about February 29.
I wondered why it doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's because people don't understand what it is. So, that's where I come in. I want to educate the world on why we have this extra day, February 29, Leap Day.
I have been accused of doing this for therapy because I don't *get* a birthday and it's been said that I am just trying to get attention. Both couldn't be further from the truth. First of all, I, we Leap Day babies, *get* a birthday. We just don't always celebrate it ON our birth date. Second, I don't want the calendar to say Raenell Dawn Day. I want it to say Leap Year Day.
It's frustrating at times. Mostly though, I'm really having a lot fun spreading Leap Year Day Awareness. Some people just don't get it at all, and others do. The ones that do, make up for the ones that don't.
I'd like to encourage my fellow Leap Day babies to call up the elementary schools in your area and offer to volunteer to talk about Leap Day to one of their classes this year. I've done this. It was great fun. When, back in LY1996, I told a 3rd grade class of 9 year olds that I was 9 too you should have seen all the little faces looking up at me from the floor. We had a good time with it.
Education is the key. And no, it's not rocket science. So just have fun with it. Learn about it for yourself before you go into any classrooms. Be ready. There are some pages on our website that will be very helpful in that area.
You may also contact me if you'd like. I'm always happy to hear from people, and to help in this area. If you do anything, like go into schools, or do something else, to spread Leap Year Day Awareness, I hope you'll share it with us.
I Leap, therefore I am,

Topic: suggestion
==== Provide basic information to help troubleshoot ====
- iRedMail version:
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
I have a 2 suggestions regarding the iRedAdmin-Pro.
1. would be nice to add an "extra"field in the "domain and accounts" table, and I mean
a field for "description" for example, some of the domains are local and some domains are relayed to
another SMTP server after the mail is scanned... so it would be nice to write some description if the
domain is "local" or "relayed" and this field could be located after the Domain field..
as now we have it as follows in that table: | Domain | Name | Quota | Users | Aliases |
and what I mean is: | Domain | Domain Description | Quota | Users | Aliases |
in this case we can see if that domain is RELAYED or an LOCAL domain on iRedMail server...
no need to access the domain settings than "relay" to find out about this...
2. make an option "forward mail to inbox" for Quarantined emails because sometimes we can find
an email in the Quarantined table but it is an "normal" mail and than it would be nice to have an option to
forward this mail to users inbox ... not sure if this is "smart" option or not ...
Best regards

GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups are well-suited for real-world use and abuse. They can haul tons of brick and cement and tow the mixer, then turn around to be used for a night on the town or grocery shopping while the fifth-wheel's left in camp or the horses are in the corral. The Sierra HD models are the mid-level part of GMC's truck lineup, so if your hauling happens once or twice a year, or you tow a bass or ski boat, the 1500-series is better-suited; conversely, if you've got a mammoth trailer to pull, step up to the Kodiak/Top Kick medium-duties.
The GMC Sierra HD pickups were thoroughly redesigned for 2007, so changes for 2008 are limited to smaller items like seat adjusters, gauges, and adding XM Satellite Radio capability.
The GMC Sierra HD offers styling unique to GMC, so it's not just a Chevy Silverado with a different grille.
As with all heavy-duty pickup lines, the Sierra HD offers plenty of configurations with three cab sizes and two bed sizes in 2WD or 4WD. But it also offers two separate interior concepts, something the other guys can't match. And GM offers the only HD pickup with a six-speed automatic as standard (an option only on the Dodge Ram diesel). Its standard 6.0-liter gas V8 is rated higher than anyone else's, as is the 6.6-liter diesel. And only GM includes OnStar as standard.
Almost everything you can get in a GMC sport-utility is available here, including a subwoofer-equipped sound system, navigation, driver memory system, heated leather seats (and heated windshield washer fluid) and a moonroof. At the other end of the spectrum, for the entry price of around $24,000 you get a functional pickup with real load-carrying ability and all the safety bits of the top-line model.
The trick in buying a GMC Sierra HD is to give fair consideration and choose wisely. Compute the permutations among three cabs, two weight classes, two beds, two engine/transmission combinations, two drive systems and four trim levels, and then sort out options that cover everything from a diesel radiator cover to rear park assist, and you can see why prices run from that base $24,000 to well past double it.Model Lineup
The 2008 GMC Sierra HD comes in three cabs (Regular Cab, Extended Cab, Crew Cab) and two weight classes, 2500 HD and 3500 HD, all with 2WD or 4WD. The 2500 (sometimes called 3/4-ton) offers two pickup box sizes, while the 3500 (1-ton) is eight-foot box only. If you wish to add your own utility box or flatbed, cab and chassis models are offered.
GMC nomenclature labels trim levels as commercial-grade Work Truck, popular SLE (1 and 2), and premium SLT that resembles a Yukon sport-utility up front.
Basic WT fare includes a split vinyl bench seat (and split rear seat on four-door cabs), stereo radio with XM satellite, air conditioning, six-speed automatic transmission, tire pressure monitors, and ABS.
Mid-level SLE models include all basic equipment and add cruise control, chromed steel wheels, electronic shift for 4WD, auto-dimming mirror and compass, driver lumbar, locking seat cushion storage, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. The SLE2 package adds fog lamps and interior upgrades such as cloth-upholstered power-adjustable front seats and redundant controls on the steering wheel.
SLT badges are reserved for the priciest Sierras, those with an interior modeled after GMC luxury utilities. These include as standard leather upholstery with 12-way power and heated front seats, two-person driver memory, heated windshield washer fluid system, locking differential, remote start, towing package, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a Bose audio system with subwoofer.
Base power for all GMC HDs is the latest 6-liter V-8 with an iron block for durability and variable valve timing for efficiency; it rates 353 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque (312 hp for GVWR above 10,000 pounds). The sole option is a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel, at 365 horses and 660 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission offered, and on diesels it adds $1,200 to the engine's roughly $7,200 tab.
Sierras can be set up for anything from a night on the town--moonroof, satellite radio, navigation--to a year on the ranch or fleet garage with snow plow prep, integral trailer brake control, remote start, and power takeoffs. Determining exactly the right model and options will take careful and honest shopping because of the sheer number of choices.
Safety equipment includes frontal airbags, front seat belt pretensioners (a first for HD pickups), ABS, and OnStar.Walkaround
Although the Sierra HD shares its mechanical bits with Chevrolet's Silverado HD, they are no longer visual clones. A higher grille between the stacked headlights lead to a flatter, more traditionally styled hood than the Silverado, and the GMC gets unique fenders, lamps and box sides as well. For this new generation the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra do not share near-identical appearance. A new panel forming process gives the dually models integral, seamless fender flares and smoother finish for improved paint.
The wallpaper sized, ruby red GMC logo makes its origin plainly obvious but the bumper that blends into the fenders gives a much cleaner look and is unusual in HD pickups. Increased frame stiffness allows a smaller gap between the cab and body, and combined with the more aerodynamic windshield and narrower door gaps, makes the Sierra much quieter than its predecessor.
The box sides are deeper by an inch-and-a-bit, the tailgate has a optional lock and assist for closing it with less effort, and the cargo management option fits rails to three sides of the bed; these can be used for tie-down points and to carry a variety of tool or utility boxes. The stoutest Sierra HD's can tow 13,000 pounds with the new 2.5-inch receiver hitch, and the new dual-element mirror and trailer brake control options will lower the stress level.
Most HD pickups have external dimensions close to each other and the Sierra is similar; more than six-and-a-half feet wide outside and room for a 4x8-foot sheet of building material to ride flat in the long bed. In 4WD versions the Sierra is slightly lower than competing pickups, and that inch or two could make the difference in commercial garages or fifth-wheel/bed clearance.Interior
The high-line Sierra SLT cabin feels just like a large luxury car, with a low-profile dash sporting lots of woodgrain trim, a compact instrument cluster with better graphics for 2008, three months of XM radio to get you hooked, and a center stack that rolls off the dash and right into a full-length center console.
The Sierra HD SLT is very low-profile, sleek, and speaks of good fit and finish. All other models use a more conventional pickup layout, with a higher dash section that goes across the middle and leaves the center open for middle riders, manual-shift transfer case, or communications and safety equipment.
Perhaps not as stylish as the SLT's, the standard dash is the more functional of the two and equally well assembled (and gets the same improvements). It offers more options in small storage, a second glove box (with an awkward latch), locking storage area with power point beneath the center seat section, more places to add accessory switches, radio and ventilation controls are up higher near line of sight, and the materials produce less glare in low-lying sun and night construction areas. Adjustable pedals and a tilt wheel are available, though the wheel does not telescope and is offset slightly from the seat centerline.
A regular cab has room for a XXL-sized gent and space behind the seat for his coat and boots. Extended cabs have articulated side doors that swing 170 degrees for easier loading, the windows in those doors roll down flush, and the seat cushion folds up for more storage. Crew cabs are the obvious choice for anyone hauling more than youngsters on a regular basis, just be sure the middle rider knows there is no headrest. Note that the sunroof shade on high-line versions is literally a shade (like that on a Mini) and not a solid cover, and the interior will warm faster on sunny days.
Operating controls are clearly labeled and logically placed, and the shifter offers the typical D and 1 positions, with an M position and thumb tab for individually selecting any intermediate gear. If there's a drawback it is the quantity of similarly-shaped and labeled small buttons that butterfingers may have some issues with. Door switches have been revised so your guard dog won't wind the window up, but he may still lock you out; fortunately, OnStar (and the turn-by-turn navigation it offers) is standard and includes a few months free service.
The fact that the Sierra interior, especially on SLT models, is the most like a car will certainly find favor with those who need a pickup rather than just want one. Apart from turning circle and size, it takes no more to drive this than to drive any other GMC.Driving Impressions
When it was re-engineered for 2007, the GMC Sierra raised the bar in ride quality and refinement, and minor upgrades for 2008 improve on that. It will not ride like a car, nothing that can carry a car does, but it may spoil you for a pickup.
With many models over 7,000 pounds empty, the Sierra HD is a lot of mass to move around, and while the new 6-liter has broadly the same horsepower as the old big-block, torque is down roughly 80 lb-ft. Torque is what gets any load moving, up to about 45 mph, and helps keep it moving on grades. However, the six-speed transmission makes up for a lot, so the absence of a big-block is most noticed in low-range 4WD and the less-forceful shove in your back when you leave a traffic light. The 6.0 and six-speed automatic will do about 90 percent of what the 8.1-liter did, and generally use a bit less gas in the process. Remember however, that horsepower on the dual-rear wheel 3500 6.0 is lowered to 312 hp, making an even better argument for the diesel.
With 660 lb-ft of torque available at a much lower engine speed and 365 hp, the Duramax turbodiesel option blows the 6-liter into the weeds for pulling power and fuel economy, though you might say at $8400 for the powertrain it ought to. Much of the added expense from last year is due to the new emissions requirements for diesel engines, reductions of 90 percent in some cases, and the diesel exhaust pipe stays clean and steel-colored inside where the gas engine's is black. The next generation of induction systems has also made the diesel much quieter; your riders may not know it's a diesel if you don't tell them.
Pickups of yore tended to buck like broncos on uneven surfaces like turnpike expansion joints, with the bed trying to bounce one direction and the cab the other. Often a function of wheelbase, this can't be completely eliminated in a long vehicle like a Sierra HD, but it does an admirable job of mitigating the motion.
There's heft to the feel of a Sierra, from the way it takes big bumps to the steering and throttle inputs. Its handling characteristics are benign and amount to basic plowing if you push too hard. All-terrain tires give better grip on dirt roads, at the expense of steering precision and noise on tarmac.
Like all big 2WD pickups the Sierra uses all-vented disc brakes with ABS, and independent front suspension. However, only the GM heavy-duty pickups use the same design on 4WD models, giving them a lower nose and more responsive steering. Again, like any big pickup, the tail is prone to kick over impacts with an empty bed; the Sierra is similar to others although it may feel it has more kick because the front is softer.
The optional integrated trailer brake controller will apply your trailer brakes smoother than any aftermarket controller and works in concert with the Sierra's braking system. This controller, however, is not compatible with all brands of electric-hydraulic disc brakes becoming more common on high-end RVs.
The 2.5-inch receiver hitch allows conventional trailer ratings to 13,000 pounds, higher than many competitive offerings; the maximum for fifth-wheels 16,700 pounds. The strongest Sierra HD will haul 23,500 pounds gross combined: the truck, fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer.Summary
If you want the capability of a big pickup with the least sensation of driving a big pickup, the Sierra HD deserves consideration. In a world run amuck for ever-larger trailers and powerplants, it's a sensible alternative for anyone who needs to haul stuff but doesn't want a special driver's license to do it.

Cake Flour
Occasionally I bake something that calls for cake flour. Until recently I never thought about the fact that Softasilk Cake flour is bleached. The box says it is 3% protein. I looked in the bulk foods section of the market and found Guisto's Baker's Choice unbleached flour at 5% protein. Now I'm curious what others on this forum use when a recipe specifies cake flour.

IU Northwest School of Business and Economics to host Weekend MBA for Professionals open house on June 2
On Monday, June 2, the Indiana University Northwest School of Business and Economics will host an evening open house to introduce area professionals to its Weekend MBA for Professionals program. The event will run from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the School of Business offices on the first floor of the Dunes Medical/Professional Building, located on the IU Northwest campus at 35th Ave. and Jefferson St. in Gary.
The Weekend MBA program is an educational opportunity designed specifically to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals. The program offers all-day Saturday classes every other Saturday for 10 months out of the year, leading to degree completion in only 18 months. Classes are taught by full-time business faculty, and the program also includes an online component for added convenience to students.
The Weekend MBA program is intended to make this advanced degree accessible for working professionals who must meet other obligations during the workweek. The alternating Saturday schedule allows students the freedom to enjoy weekends off even as they pursue their degrees, and the two-month summer break provides time for family vacations and other pursuits.
The IU Northwest School of Business and Economics is accredited by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. It is the only public business school in Northwest Indiana to carry this significant distinction. Only 15 percent of business schools worldwide are AACSB-accredited.
The Weekend MBA program is ideal for professionals who have considered seeking their MBA but whose work and family situations make taking classes during the week impossible. It's also useful for area employers who would like for their employees to acquire the skills and knowledge that come with an MBA, but who don't want those classes to interfere with work responsibilities. Employees who take the Weekend MBA program should inquire about tuition reimbursement from their employers.
For those who have thought about going back to school for an MBA but who didn't think they had the time, the IU Northwest School of Business and Economics is proud to offer a program that makes that advanced business degree more accessible. Lunch will even be provided on class days, and laptop computers are included for students as part of the cost of tuition.
Anyone interested in pursuing an MBA through Weekend MBA classes is invited to come meet School of Business faculty and see the school's facilities, including the new Wall St. on Broadway Trading Floor. For more information, call (219) 980-6552, or e-mail email@example.com.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — It was Apple versus Samsung but Google loomed large Tuesday during closing arguments at the monthlong federal trial involving claims of patent infringement exchanged by the world's two largest smartphone makers.
A lawyer for Apple accused Samsung of "slavishly" copying key features of its iPhone and iPad products and demanded $2.2 billion in damages.
An attorney for Samsung denied the allegations and argued that its Google-developed software differs from Apple's operating system.
In his closing argument, lawyer William Price referred to an email from Apple founder Steve Jobs indicating that he had ordered employees to wage a "holy war" against Google and its Android system, believing it was a rip-off of Apple's operating system.
Price said that was the sole reason Apple filed the lawsuit against Samsung.
"We don't think we owe Apple a nickel," added John Quinn, one of four Samsung lawyers involved in the company's closing argument.
Quinn also said Apple wants to monopolize the industry.
"They want to attack Google and Android by attacking the most successful Android maker," he said.
Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny told jurors that Samsung's "illegal strategy has been wildly successful" and insisted that Google had nothing to do with the case.
"Despite all the times Samsung mentioned it, you will not find a single question about Google in your jury form," McElhinny said. "Google is not a defendant in this case."
Google spokesman Matt Kallman declined comment on the proceedings.
The four men and four women on the jury began deliberating later in the day.
The case marks the latest legal fight between Samsung and Apple as each tries to dominate the $330 billion annual market for smartphones.
Samsung has captured about 31 percent of the smartphone market while Apple retains a 15 percent share.
A different jury in San Jose presiding over a previous trial regarding older technology ordered Samsung to pay Apple $930 million. Samsung has appealed that ruling.
Google may not be a defendant in the current trial, but evidence introduced by Apple attorneys showed the Internet search giant has agreed to reimburse Samsung if the South Korean company is ordered to pay damages on two of the five patents at issue.
In addition, Samsung lawyers called three Google engineers to the witness stand to testify.
The trial involves five Apple patents that the company accuses Samsung of using to create nine newer smartphones and a tablet. The features in question include slide-to-lock, universal searching, quick linking, background syncing and automatic word correction.
Samsung, meanwhile, has alleged that Apple infringed two of its patents related to camera use and video transmission. Samsung is seeking $6.2 million in damages.
Jobs, who died in 2011, is a Silicon Valley legend revered for launching Apple in his family's garage in 1976.
The Cupertino headquarters of the tech giant is a 15-mile drive from the San Jose federal courthouse where the patent case is playing.
Prospective jurors were closely questioned before the trial about connections and views about Apple, which employs about 80,000 workers world-wide.

Difficult New Testament Passages
Don Carson
- Don Carson is Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago. View all resources by Don Carson
In two talks, Dr Don Carson examines some of the tricky parts of the New Testament that often raise questions about interpretation.
Don Carson - Difficult New Testament Passages - ELF 2006
All preachers and teachers of the New
Testament stumble across passages that are peculiarly difficult. Sometimes the
difficulty arises because it is not easy to see how the passage can be
reconciled with other passages; sometimes a passage appears difficult because
of the way it quotes the Old Testament; sometimes its connections with the
surrounding context are more than a little obscure. In this seminar we run
quickly through a variety of such New Testament texts, not merely giving
"solutions" but also, at least in some instances, demonstrating the
reasoning or research or principles of interpretation that lead to satisfactory
Preliminary list of passages to be covered (this list is not necessarily exhaustive):
- the OT in the NT: (a) Ps 110 in the NT; Isa 28:11-12 in 1 Cor 14:20-25
- texts hard to reconcile with each other: the death of Judas Iscariot, Matt 27:1-10 and Acts 1:18-19; 1 Cor 8 and 10
- texts apparently historically implausible: (a) John 1:29; (b) Gal 2:11-14
- texts pastorally challenging: assorted passages on slaves
- texts inherently confusing (a) John 5:26; (b) Acts 15:19-20, 28-29; (c) 1 Cor 7:26
- texts intrinsically obscure: (a) Matt 24:28; (b) 1 Cor 15:29; (c) Rev 21:1-22:6

LA PAZ/CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez is undergoing physical therapy to hasten his return from Cuba after surgery there last month for the cancer jeopardizing his 14-year rule, Bolivian President Evo Morales said on Tuesday.
The comments by Morales, a fellow leftist and close friend of Chavez, added to positive signals from Venezuelan officials that the president was improving and may be able to return from Cuba, where he had surgery on December 11.
He has not been seen or heard from in public since then.
"I communicated with Cuba and, brothers and sisters, we have good news about our brother, President Hugo Chavez. He is already undergoing physical therapy to return to his country," Morales said in a speech to parliament in La Paz.
"Latin American leaders like Fidel (Castro) and Hugo Chavez are very much needed at international events, and I'm certain that soon we will be (together again) at presidential summits," Morales added, without giving more details.
There were rumors around New Year's Day that the socialist Chavez, 58, was on life support. They have given way in the past few days to speculation he may soon return to Venezuela.
Local media reports have said a military hospital in Caracas is being prepared to receive Chavez.
In the absence of detailed medical information, Venezuelans are debating whether Chavez may be able to recover well enough to continue governing or whether he wants to come home to smooth a handover of power or simply to say farewell.
After Morales' comments, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said no return date was yet planned for Chavez.
Though still in a "difficult" and "complex" battle for his health, the latest news from Havana was promising and Chavez was in "good spirits", the minister said in comments carried live on TV after a cabinet meeting in Caracas.
"Commander Chavez is in Havana in the process of full re-establishment of his health," Villegas said. "The (latest) report was very encouraging ... There is no return date yet."
Before going to Cuba, Chavez named Vice President Nicolas Maduro, a former bus driver who rose through the ranks to become one of Chavez's most faithful allies, as his preferred successor should he be incapacitated.
Maduro would, though, have to win a new vote.
Morales and Venezuelan officials' comments suggest Chavez may have come through some of the worst effects of his operation. The government had acknowledged he suffered bleeding and a lung infection after surgery.
The disease was detected in his pelvic area in mid-2011.
Venezuela's foreign minister said on Monday that Chavez was laughing and joking, as well as giving instructions again on government matters. But speculation persists that the cancer may have metastasized and Chavez may not have long to live.
Some opponents are skeptical, asking why Chavez cannot speak to the nation if he can chat with ministers.

Will Bloom Energy Live Up To The Hype?
from the off-the-grid dept
The 60 Minutes piece hinted that Bloom Energy could be a flop like the Segway -- since both Segway and Bloom Energy share Kleiner Perkins as a backer. Beyond that, though, the amount of skeptical analysis for Bloom Energy seems a bit lacking. The story of a secret lab creating a solution to the world's energy problems is a great fiction. But the reality is likely far less inspiring. Plenty of others point out the reliability and cost issues for using a technology that hasn't yet been around for a decade and takes about 5 years (give or take a couple years) to pay for itself from savings in energy efficiency. A 100kW system costs about $750,000 -- so it's a sizable upfront investment for a company to adopt. Additionally, while the system can run on a variety of fuels, Bloom Boxes are currently using natural gas, which is still a fossil fuel with all the associated drawbacks -- even if the power is generated more efficiently.
Ultimately, more competition for generating clean power benefits all energy-intensive businesses. And as some observers note, these Bloom Boxes may help augment other energy technologies -- such as wind or solar -- for more consistent and reliable alternative energy. But there might need to be a much clearer advantage to installing Bloom Energy's off-the-grid generators. Certainly, Bloom Energy has done a great job of getting lots of attention for its technology, but it hasn't proven that fuel cells will revolutionize the economics of energy production. In fact, more efficient use of fossil fuels may actually delay our move away from non-renewable fuels, meaning Bloom would fall short of the hype in more than one way. Instead of a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuel-based energy, it has so far only delivered a somewhat expensive new way to continue using natural gas.
In the end, though, this demonstrates how true innovation is almost always an ongoing process rather than a "flash of genius." Time and time again we hear about amazing breakthroughs coming out of some secret proprietary lab -- but when they're actually revealed, the reality is just another marginal improvement. It's what happens next that's really important. Bloom is getting all sorts of hype for doing something revolutionary, but the result appears just kind of ordinary, at this point. The real question is: can it actually continue the process of innovation to become something that lives up to the hype? It's that process that's really important, not the initial concept.

Loyola mourns the passing of alumnus, famed opera singer Charles Anthony
Loyola press release - February 17, 2012
The Loyola University New Orleans community today mourns the loss of alumnus Charles Anthony '51, H'04, an acclaimed opera tenor who died Wednesday at the age of 82. He set the record for most appearances at the Metropolitan Opera—2,928—during a career that spanned from 1954 to 2010. According to a Metropolitan Opera spokesperson, Anthony died at his home in Tampa, Fla., from kidney failure following a long illness.
In May 2004, Loyola presented Anthony with an honorary doctorate degree of music, and in 2007, the Charles Anthony Caruso Distinguished Professorship in Opera was established in Loyola's College of Music and Fine Arts.
"Many members of the Loyola community were honored to be with Charles at the Metropolitan Opera when he celebrated his record-breaking performance. Loyola also was able to present Charles with an honorary doctorate in music at commencement during the same year," said Ed Kvet, D.M.E., provost and vice president for academic affairs. "Like the opera world, the Loyola community will miss Charles and his gift to opera."
Anthony also presented an opera masterclass at Loyola, and it was then that voice professor Phil Frohnmayer was able to spend some time with him. "He was a very positive individual and had the ability to empower the kids to sing better just by his reactions to their performances," Frohnmayer said. "His love of singing and the stage was infectious. He had an extremely generous spirit, and we will miss him."
Calogero Antonio Caruso was born on July 15, 1929, to Italian immigrants in New Orleans. He began performing with the New Orleans Opera House Association chorus as a young teen in the mid-1940s. After graduating from Loyola, he entered the Metropolitan Opera's Auditions of the Air competition for promising young singers in 1952. When he reached the semifinals, Rudolf Bing, the company's domineering general manager, feared that the public would assume that Anthony was related to famed tenor Enrico Caruso, and told him he had to choose another name. Anthony complied, winning the competition as Charles Anthony.
Anthony made his Met debut as the Simpleton in Mussorsky's "Boris Godunov" on March 6, 1954. As a supporting singer, he shared the stage with some of the world's most renowned classical artists, performing in the Metropolitan Opera's debuts of Marian Anderson, Birgit Nilsson, Franco Corelli, Joan Sutherland and Jose Carreras, among others.
In 57 seasons Anthony played 111 roles in 69 operas, including three parts in Puccini's "Turandot" alone, including that of the Emperor, with which he made his farewell on Jan. 28, 2010.
On Feb. 17, 1992, during a performance of Verdi's "Rigoletto," in which he sang the role of the courtier Borsa, Anthony was honored onstage for breaking the record for the number of appearances, then held by baritone George Cehanovsky. He was celebrated again on March 6, 2004, the 50th anniversary of his Met debut. That night he sang Spoletta in Puccini's "Tosca," one of his 135 performances in the role.
Survivors include his wife, Eleanor; son, Anthony Caruso; daughters Anna Beth Burgmeier and Barbara Liriano; seven grandchildren; and two great grandchildren. A private funeral is scheduled for Saturday.

�Free� is the goal
To the editor: The writer of the Dec. 8 �Polar Express� letter suggests adding a train ride and charging a fee as well to the annual Historic Seventh Avenue District Polar Express event, bringing it more in line with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad�s Polar Express event.
To the editor: The writer of the Dec. 8 �Polar Express� letter suggests adding a train ride and charging a fee as well to the annual Historic Seventh Avenue District Polar Express event, bringing it more in line with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad�s Polar Express event.
The main purpose of the HSAD Polar Express event is to provide a free educational and fun-filled day with hot chocolate, cookies, storytelling, musical entertainment and Santa to the children of our district. Thanks to Asheville Savings Bank, Champion Service Experts, Appliances on 7th Avenue, who sponsored the event, and to Bruce Drysdale School volunteers, we were able to accomplish this once again.
We host this event every year not to produce revenue but rather to bring smiles to the children�s faces.
The idea of a tourist railroad in Hendersonville has been pursued before by outside business corporations, but so far has failed to produce any results.
True, a tourist railroad could boost area tourism, as the writer suggests, but until that day arrives, the HSAD Polar Express event will continue to chug along as is and will always be about making children happy.
Terry Ketcham
To the editor: I am extremely disappointed that the Times-News printed John Fogle�s latest column which included untruthful personal comments directed at all Democrats.
President Barack Obama did not win re-election because of �dirty campaigning.� He won a majority of the popular votes because he represents the political party that believes government should stay out of a woman�s body, that Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements, that children born in this country and have not broken any laws should be allowed to stay, and that health care is a right and not a privilege.
I truly believe that John Fogle is afraid of the future. For the Republican Party to win in 2016, it can no longer be an organization that represents the biases of white men. Join the 21st century and recognize that women, minorities and the middle class also need advocacy. �Dirty campaigning� is a sham for those of us who voted based on the issues.
Judy Ader
To the editor: Columnist John Fogel claimed the Democrats ran an indecent campaign. He failed, however, to mention a single example to back up his claim. So here are a few:
(1) Mitt Romney�s infamous 47 percent statement was consistently misrepresented as a call to forget those receiving government benefits, such as Medicare, thus depicting Romney as not caring about the little people. But the 47 percent really referred to those who weren�t paying any federal income taxes. Realistically then, a campaign focused on tax rates had to focus on the remaining 53 percent.
(2) Bain Capital was misrepresented as a company destroyer. Actually, Bain�s business was to acquire failing businesses, remake them and sell for a profit. Profits can�t be made by reselling failed businesses. Bain was profitable only because it had more success than not in turning failed businesses into profitable ones. Without those evil profits, there are no tax revenues or jobs.
(3) Romney was misrepresented as callous, but his charitable contributions were consistently around 15 percent of income. Who among his critics put 15 percent of their income where their mouths are?
Romney was misrepresented as a wingnut conservative, yet he created the predecessor to Obamacare in Massachusetts.
Fogel was right. It was an indecent campaign.

PS4 to have background firmware updates
Sony confirmed PS4 will have firmware updates, but hopes to make sure they don't prevent consumers from playing games.
PS3 owners currently have to wait for firmware updates before they can use their console, but Sony Worldwide Studios Boss Shuhei Yoshida says the platform holder aims to relegate them to the background.
"The work is still going on," he told Eurogamer. "It's about the implementation phase. It's all about how it gets implemented. So we have to wait for the final product, but our goal is always like that.
"So there will always be firmware updates, but what we want to achieve is [putting them in the background].
"It's already been done. Like the PS Plus service actually does it, where it's downloaded but it doesn't install. So it's kind of half-baked.
"We wanted to make it so people don't have to wait for anything. If you have one hour of your time, you want to spend one hour playing games, and that's our goal."

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. RCL, -4.83% swung to a fourth-quarter loss as the cruise ship company recorded a massive impairment charge, although net yields--a key industry metric measuring revenue per available cruise day--beat expectations.
For the year, the company projected per-share earnings of $2.30 to $2.50, below recent estimates of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for $2.67.
Royal Caribbean, whose brands include its namesake line and Celebrity cruises, has seen its North American and Asia markets performing well, although Europe has had larger-than-expected discounting as potential passengers hemmed in bookings because of economic uncertainty and fallout from last year's deadly wreck of the Costa Concordia, a competitor's ship, in January. The accident, off the coast of Italy, brought intense scrutiny to the issue of ship safety, and led Royal Caribbean to temporarily suspend almost all of its marketing.
On Monday, the company said it had recorded a total impairment charge of $413.9 million for its Pullmantur brand, of which about $319.2 million relates to goodwill. The remainder is for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, a reduction in the value of the trademarks and an impairment charge related to three aircraft that Pullmantur owns and operates.
Royal Caribbean said its 2013 Wave season--the three-month stretch of heavy bookings at the start of a year--is "broadly off to a promising start." However, it noted that "booking volumes and pricing are down substantially in Spain due to the impact of additional austerity measures there, the lingering impact of the Costa Concordia tragedy and other factors."
"Excluding the Pullmantur impairment charges, our operating results came in remarkably close to our forecast from a year ago, which is notable given the challenging environment," Chief Executive Richard D. Fain said. "Looking forward, we see a tale of two continents; North America is doing well, while parts of Europe continue to be a challenge."
For the quarter, Royal Caribbean reported a loss of $392.8 million, or $1.80 a share, versus a profit of $36.6 million, or 17 cents a share, a year earlier.
In October, Royal Caribbean projected results for the quarter ranging from a per-share loss of two cents to a profit of eight cents a share, well below analyst expectations at the time.
Revenue rose 1.7% to $1.81 billion. Analysts recently expected $1.82 billion.
Net yields were up 1.8% on a constant currency basis versus the company's guidance of an about 1% increase.
Shares rose 33 cents to $37.12 in recent premarket trading. The stock has risen 20% in the past 12 months.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch has called it the hot winter. Others allude to the Depression-era tune "Happy Days Are Here Again." Whatever the label, Europe has seen an epic rally in the euro this year, and European stocks have had a nice run as well.
Whether the era of good feelings will last is another matter, however.
A corruption scandal is roiling Spain, and calls are mounting for the resignation of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. In Italy, there is growing uncertainty over the outcome of the upcoming election, with former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi gaining ground.

Economic reports from Germany have been strong, but the French and Germany economies appear to be diverging. And then there is the matter of the potential U.S.sequester,which could batter the U.S. economy and almost certainly affect global markets.
(Learn more: Tackling the Debt)
Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, summed up the situation succinctly at a conference last Friday. "The euro crisis is not over," he said, although "we're in a much better position than we were a year ago."
The clouds on the European horizon are affecting European stocks, particularly in Spain and Italy, where key indexes have been experiencing one of their worst days in months. Madrid's IBEX index was down 1.7%, and Milan's fell 2.8%. Euro zone bank stocks were also hit hard.
As for the euro, investors seem to be getting a case of vertigo. The common currency has risen seven percent against the dollar in the last two months, and according to Kathy Lien, a managing director at BK Asset Management, "even without the calls for Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy to resign, the currency pair was due for a correction."
In addition to political risks, Lien is wary of an upcoming European Central Bank meeting and anything President Mario Draghi might say about excessive euro strength. "Traders should beware of a deeper correction in the EUR/USD this week ahead of Thursday's central bank meeting," she warned in a note to clients.
Economists at Citigroup, meanwhile, expect the tone of the European Central Bank statement to turn more cautious, and they anticipate interest rate cuts later in the year - a likely negative for the euro.
Barclays Capital is also worried about the euro in the medium to long term. Citing political uncertainties and growth prospects significantly weaker than those in the U.S., they expect the euro to drop to 1.2800 against the dollar a year from now.
At Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where strategists coined the term "hot winter," concerns about the euro abound. "Statements by Eurozone authorities that the euro is too strong reflect concerns that unfair competition could affect the recovery prospects," BofA Merrill Lynch strategists wrote to clients. "Markets seem complacent about the challenges in the periphery's adjustment. And we still believe markets underestimate the negative impact on US growth and global risk appetite of the US fiscal tightening this year."
If these experts are correct, the rest of the European winter is likely to be a chilly one.

Season Ends In NCAC Title Lossby Brent Harris • March 1, 2008 Share:
A 14-5 run by Ohio Wesleyan in later portion of the first half led to a 12-point halftime advantage and an 89-72 victory by the Battling Bishops over Wabash in the championship game of the 2008 North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament. The loss brought an end to the careers of Wabash seniors Earl Rooks, Gary Simkus, and Andrew Zimmer.
Wabash led 11-7 nearly four minutes into the game before the Bishops eventually tied the contest at 20-20. A three-point basket by Robby Gardiner started OWU on its big first-half run, ending with two free throws by sophomore Brent Pleiman.
The Little Giants had no answer for OWU center Dustin Rudegeair. The senior hit 10-of-21 shots for a game-high 29 points to earn Tournament MVP honors. His 11 first half points guided the Bishops to a 42-30 halftime edge on the scoreboard.
Wabash shot 12-of-28 in the first half with all but seven of its points coming from Aaron Brock and Simkus. Brock continued his hot shooting, connecting on four-of-seven shots in the opening period for 12 points. He finished with 19 points to lead Wabash in scoring while earning a place on the All-Tournament team. Simkus added 11 first half points in his final game at Wabash, finishing with 15 for the game.
OWU jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first two minutes of the final period, holding the lead throughout most of the period.
Rooks nearly brought the Little Giants back into the game. The senior guard saved his best scoring effort for his final game, drilling a three-pointer with 1:48 left in the contest to trim the lead to 12. He hit four baskets and was a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line to score a career-best 16 points with two assists and four rebounds to also earn a spot on the All-Tournament team. The effort proved too little, too late for the Little Giants, who suffered their second championship loss in as many appearances since joining the league in 1999. Wabash lost to Wooster in the 2000 championship game.
Zimmer added eight points in his career finale, giving him 1,374 points in four season to finish tenth on the Wabash all-time scoring list. He ended ninth in career rebounds with 596, and third in career blocks with 118.
The Little Giants finish the season with a mark of 18-10, the most victories for a Wabash team since posting a 20-7 record in the 1999-2000 season (the last time the team played for the NCAC title).

Chicken and waffles is one of the best meals of all time. You may wince at the strange-sounding combo, but that simply means you haven't tried it yet. It's warm and soft, crunchy and salty, hot sticky sweet, just like Def Leppard promised.
I didn't think the combination could get any better until I tried chicken and donuts. You read that correctly.
"Chicken n Donuts" was cooked up by the pastry masterminds at Boston-based Union Square Donuts for National Donut Day, June 2. It features fresh-made brioche dough, bathed in mirror-smooth maple glaze and topped with fried chicken skin.
The secret to the delicious flavor is how the chicken skin is seasoned.
"It's really about dialing in the spice on the skin because you really want it to taste like chicken and waffles," explains Cory Clarke, executive pastry chef at Union Square Donuts. "Once we had that it was just, oh yeah. People... their eyes rolled back into their head, so I knew we had something good."
And that they do. While we're not privy to the secret concoction, the chicken skin emerges perfectly salty with just a hint of spice that balances the sweet glaze.
I'm typically not one for superlatives, but this is the best donut I've ever eaten. Maybe because it was fresh out of the fryer, but everything about it—the chewy dough, the salty chicken, and the glaze ratio borne of lots of trial-and-errors—is nothing short of perfection.
While Union Square Donuts is known for their unusual-but-delicious recipes like sea salted bourbon caramel, Vietnamese coffee, and coconut masala, Chicken n Donuts is a whole new level. The limited flavor will only be available on June 2, so chow down while you can.

I had a similar discussion with my 7yo the other day.
Interestingly, this parent's approach to religion is very similar to more and more people in the world. If we, who believe in God, don't understand these folks, we will never be able to have a meaningful conversation with them.
And do you ever wonder where the next generation is headed, spiritually?

Tyler had his work cut out for him because she really knew how to work it.
