Bill O'Reilly has confirmed that he's giving up his syndicated radio show to devote more time to his top-rated Fox News Channel TV show "The O'Reilly Factor".
The radio show, which was launched in May 2002, will end "in the first quarter of next year," O'Reilly said.
"The media business is getting more and more intense," he told the New York Daily News.
"We've got to keep the TV show at the level we have it now, and that means more and more time to keep it competitive and fresh. I've been working 60, 65 hours a week and I just can't keep doing that."
O'Reilly's radio show, one of the most successful syndicated programs in the country, is carried on 430 stations, and Talkers magazine estimates his weekly audience at more than 3.5 million.
But O'Reilly had hinted earlier that he would be leaving radio.
Looking back at his years on radio, O'Reilly told the News that listeners don't want a host who only preaches their point of view.
"I knew my show couldn't be ideological," he said.
"Going up against [Rush] Limbaugh, that would be suicidal. Why would a listener who's already got Rush turn to someone else to hear the same thing?
"So I was doing a show that was fact-based … And we were very competitive."

I decided to work on my pastels today and wanted to keep things loose and colorful. I had a couple of failed pastel paintings on UArt sanded paper that I wanted to reuse. Last night, I brushed off most of the pigment and then used a wash of mineral spirits to dissolve the rest back into the grit.
I feel I had a very successful day. Below are process shots of my first pastel of the day:

The state Environmental Hearing Board has ordered Montgomery County not to use the sewage treatment plant at the new $20.5-million county prison, an action that could delay the prison's scheduled opening in late July.
Board member Edward Gerjuoy issued the two stays last Friday at the request of Lower Providence Township, where the county is nearing completion of the 504-cell facility. The stays forbid the county from constructing or operating the plant. The plant is already finished, a county spokesman said.

Karachi: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday undertook a whirlwind tour of interior Sindh, visiting a temple and addressing a Hindu panchayat, where he said that India and Pakistan need to co-exist peacefully and work for good governance in the region.
"I have brought a message of peace, love and brotherhood from India," Kumar said while addressing a Hindu panchayat in interior Sindh, adding that the frequency and number of exchange of delegations should be enhanced for furthering relationship between the two countries.
Kumar, on his maiden tour of Pakistan, visited the ancient Mohenjodaro site and stressed on more cooperation and coordination between Pakistan and India.
Kumar and his delegation visited the historical Sadho Belo temple near Sukkur, the Indus valley civilization ruins of Mohenjodaro near Larkana and Garhi Khuda Baksh which is the ancestral home of the Bhutto family in Larkana.
Kumar was overwhelmed while visiting the Mohanjodaro site that dates back to 5000 years and said it had reinforced his belief that Pakistan and India share so many common values and culture that they need to work closely together in the region.
"The cultural links between the two countries are abiding and central to our history. We need to co-exist peacefully and work for good governance in the region," Kumar said.
Addressing a gathering of Hindu Panchayat during his visit to Sadhu Bela temple he said that India and Pakistan shared many common values and if exchange of dialogue is constant, it might improve relationship between the two countries.
He stressed the need to promote atmosphere of mutual understanding, brotherhood and peace among India and Pakistan which is the need of the hour aimed at progress, prosperity and development in the area.
Kumar also prayed at the historical Sadho Bela temple.
The visiting CM noted that the Sadho Bela temple was a sacred place for Hindus of Pakistan and India and represented hope for everyone.
"It is held in high esteem by Hindus in both countries that is why I cherish this visit today," Kumar said.
The general secretary of the Hindu Panchayat in Sukkur informed the visiting delegation that after the recent floods, the evacuee trust property had done a big job to clean up the temple complex and rid it of large number of snakes.
Kumar took deep interest in the art and architecture of the temple and was informed about its history dating back to 1823 by the religious leaders.
According to the religious leaders at the temple it is spread over nine acres and comprises a main place of worship (Asthan of Baba Bankhandi Maharaj), abodes for his "shish" (students), a library which houses books on religion and Hindu mythology, separate "Bhandars" (dining rooms) for women and men, separate places of worship for men and women, washrooms and a huge garden.
Later Kumar also went to Garhi Khuda Baksh where he offered prayers at the graves of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his daughter, Benazir Bhutto, both former Prime Ministers of Pakistan.
Accompanied by Speaker Sindh Assembly Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, Kumar laid floral wreaths at the mazars and stood silent for a while to pay homage to the PPP leaders.
Kumar noted that the Bhutto family always stood for democracy and parliamentary form of governance and said good governance would guarantee development and progress for people of both countries.
Kumar, who arrived in Karachi on November 9, will also travel to Lahore and Islamabad during his week-long goodwill visit to Pakistan.
Earlier, on their arrival at Moen-Jo-Daro airport in Larkana from Karachi by a special aircraft, Kumar and his 12-member delegation were welcomed by school students and officials of the district administration, state-run APP news agency reported.
Kumar pointed out that despite geographical differences, Pakistan and India, should also share a common future keeping in mind their common history.
Kumar expressed hope that his visit would help further normalising ties between the two countries as well as to bring their people closer to each other.
During his tour of interior Sindh, Kumar was accompanied by Sindh minister, Agha Siraj Durrani, PPP Member of the National Assembly Syeda Nafeesa Shah and Member of the Provincial Assembly Sassi Palejo.
Speaking on the occasion, Shah said that misunderstandings will vanish with the exchange of delegations and through people to people contact.
She said the culture and civilization of both countries was same. Shah said that PPP is committed to resolving minorities problems at their doorstep.
PPP Senator Islamuddin Shahikh said both governments wanted to further relationship and solve all problems through dialogue. He said the process of composite dialogue between the two countries was underway at the federal level.
Kumar also visited the mausoleum of Mohammad Ali Jinnah yesterday to pay homage to the founder of Pakistan and in the evening was entertained to a grand reception at the historical Mohatta palace by the Sindh government yesterday.
Kumar appreciated the fact that Karachi`s famous Mohatta Palace is also built in the tradition of stone palaces of Rajasthan.
Kumar also invited Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah to visit Bihar. Shah accepted the invitation and said that he will visit the state at a later date.

If Indian government and officers working in various organizations, banks ,insurance companies and Public sector enterprises completely stop spending on their bosses , ministers and powerful dignitaries and in celebration of birth days anniversaries or death anniversaries of VIPs and in inaugural functions of various projects , I guess government will save at least 10000 crores rupees per year. All such unwarranted and avoidable expenses are ultimately burden on common men in form of various taxes and levies.
When a state level Minister or Governor, Member of Parliament or Central Minister or President of India or Judges visit any place, crores of rupees are spent by government departments as also by private organizers in flattery to VIPS in extending red carpet welcome to Very Important Persons. Flattery cost is rising year after year and it is totally unbridled.
VIPs used to stay in government circuit houses a decade ago but now in modern era of reformation, they also like to stay in five star hotels. Crores of rupees are spent on visit of RBI governor , Deputy Governors and CMDs by various banks, crores of rupees are spent in public rally organized for a politician and crores of rupees are spent in organising a meeting chaired by Senior Executives of a company, bank or insurance companies. Government cannot stop such spending but the same government is bent upon stopping spending on sale of diesels, petrol, Gas cylinder, fertilizers etc.
Subsidy on poor farmers and common men is burden but spending in flattery is not burden for government.
Government which often use to shed Crocodile's tears on mounting fiscal deficit , Food inflation, price rise, global recession and trade deficit is now ready to spend more than one lac crores of rupees on food security because it will help in fetching votes in forthcoming elections .
On the eve of general election politicians have only a few tools in their hand and they can see only few panacea namely quota, waiver of loan , announcement of some welfare schemes termed as spending on common men.
Fifty five months are used for self enrichment and five months are used for pleasure of voters. This is Indian politics.
Advocates of Central Government are giving the logic that 2G spectrum was allotted on enhanced price after adjusting the prices as per Inflation adjusted index. As such advocates of the government like Kapil Sibal and Manu Singhwi have pleaded before Parliamentary Committee that government of India has incurred no loss in 2G spectrum allocation and hence they accuse CAG of maligning the image of the government by estimating the loss to the tune of RS176000 crores.
Enhancement in salaries and allowances, perquisites and other benefits which took place during last 10 years in case of Member of Parliament is far more than inflation adjusted price index.
Fee charged in engineering colleges and medical colleges have gone up to 1000 times during last ten years. Price of medicines which are vital in prominent but dangerous diseases in human life has gone up by more than 100 times during last ten years.
Even prices of Gold have gone up more than ten times, cost of flats and houses have gone up by more than ten times and that of primary school fee in private schools have gone up more than Inflation adjusted price index.
As such loss caused in 2G spectrum allotment is undoubtedly more than two lac crore rupees. If government has to apply the principle of inflation adjusted rise in cost only, they should have preached this sermon to Suresh Kalamadi who spent more than hundred times of originally budgeted amount on organization of Common Wealth Games and they should preach sermons to various government officers who spend lavishly in flattery.
God only knows how Team Anna will be able to stop unbridled spending on flattery and its repercussion on moral of good, honest and devoted workers as also on common men

sample the album:
"Ian Brighton's first album Marsh Gas was released on Bead Records in 1977. This, his second album, is released nearly forty years later. Marsh Gas is now, sadly, a rare and virtually unobtainable artefact (other than the availability of some tracks via YouTube) so it's significant that Brighton's Now And Then has been released to coincide with the guitarist's 72nd birthday and which proves that he has not lost an iota of the iconoclastic dynamism he evinced all those decades ago. In addition to his solo performances, he was also a member of John Stevens' Spontaneous Music Ensemble and the Tony Oxley Quartet.
"A Voice You Left Behind" begins poignantly with the inimitable strains of Derek Bailey's softly but incisively spoken words on the subject of the potential oxymoron of recorded improvisation. Bailey was Brighton's guitar tutor and mentor and this is apparent from the moment Brighton starts playing his electric archtop. However, Brighton is by no means a copyist, he has his own distinct style and avoids the overuse of Bailey's trademark harmonics.
"Chasin Lol" is a solo guitar paean to the late and greatly missed soprano saxophonist Lol Coxhill. Here Brighton employs frenetic, darting movements, often incorporating both a slide and some behind the bridge playing.
"30 Years From Yesterday" is the first of only two of the seven tracks presented here which was not recorded between 2013 and 2015. Recorded in 1986 it features his long-time erstwhile colleagues Phil Wachsmann on violin, Marcio Mattos on bass and Trevor Taylor on percussion. Here, along with glissando waves from all three stringed instruments and accompanying rasping percussion, we hear that Brighton has adopted the occasional use of a piece of Bailey apparatus, the volume pedal, with which he is able to colour his tonal palette, and this is also in evidence on the succeeding track
"Alive And Well" featuring Brighton on solo guitar once more and which was recorded in 2001. In contrast to the lone guitar, "Percussion Discussion" is absolutely gripping. Sheets of echoing percussion cascade and envelope the metallic florid guitar notes. Frank Perry and Trevor Taylor play in tandem along with intermittent contributions from Nicky Heinen on flute. The only slight negative here is that it is not possible to determine which percussionist is playing what. But this is a minor quibble as the overall effect is dramatic and engaging.
"Generations Apart" features Brighton with his son Paul on electronics and from the opening, Brighton's characteristic bold note-striking tendency is encountered whilst the electronics provides aural light and shade.
"Going Home" benefits from an underlay of electronics over which the guitarist explores tintinnabulating territory. Along with others including Derek Bailey, Marc Ribot, Roger Smith, John Russell, Keith Rowe and Fred Frith, Brighton is a significant if too rarely heard innovator in the world of guitar improvisation.
Key to Brighton's work is the too rarely heard characteristic of exploring the possibilities rather than the probabilities of the sounds of his instrument. And that, above all, is what makes this album important."Roger Farbey, All About Jazz

Campbellsville Independent Schools
Campbellsville Independent Schools' students are continuing to increase their state test scores, with many of those scores being the highest in the region.
In scores from standardized tests taken last school year, CIS students are seeing their hard work in the classroom come to fruition.
And, in many testing areas, CIS students are scoring well above state averages.
The largest jump in scores comes in math and reading scores at Campbellsville Elementary School, where last year's third-grade students scored exponentially better than those around the state.
Out of the 13 surrounding school districts, which encompass 35 elementary schools, CES has the highest percentage of students scoring proficient or distinguished in math and reading.
Results from the state's testing system in the 2016-2017 school year were released to the public on Thursday, Sept. 28.
However, the results look very different than they have in the past.
With the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act, and a new accountability system, the Kentucky Department of Education is no longer identifying schools as they have in the past.
Schools are no longer given overall scores or labels, nor are they compared to other school districts and ranked according to score.
No science scores are being reported at the elementary and middle school level, along with language mechanics at the high school level.
The growth category, which refers to determining whether students are improving from year to year, has been eliminated at the high school level.
Also, not all scores from the 2016-2017 school year can be compared to previous years, because some components of them aren't reported this year.
Results from the 2015-2016 state tests put CIS in the "distinguished/progressing" district.
Also, as a result of their scores from that year, Campbellsville Elementary School and Campbellsville High School were given the label School of Distinction, the highest honor.
According to results from the 2016-2017 school year, the trend of having high test scores is continuing at Campbellsville Independent Schools.
CIS Superintendent Kirby Smith said he is very pleased with the overall performance of his students and staff members, based on scores from 2016-2017.
"We continue to make academic improvements in many areas," he said.
"We are above state average in several categories in each school, throughout the District, and well above state average in third-grade reading and math. Our third-grade students scored 31.8 percent higher than the state average in math and 20 percent in reading.
"The ACT scores at Campbellsville High School are once again among the top in the region with an overall composite of 19.8, which is the stage average.
"I am very proud of the gains the District is making and want to thank our students, parents, staff members and administrators for setting the bar high and challenging our students daily to be the best."
The results are printed below, by school.
Information about how CIS students compare to students in the surrounding region will be published in coming weeks.
Unbridled Learning
The state's testing system, used for the last time in 2016-2017, is Unbridled Learning: College/Career Readiness for All, and is geared toward the goal that all students become college or career ready by the time they graduate high school.
Standardized tests in the Unbridled Learning system are known as Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress or K-PREP.
K-PREP exams test students' reading, mathematics, science, social studies, writing and language mechanics skills.
Performance on K-PREP tests is categorized as "Novice," "Apprentice," "Proficient" or "Distinguished."
Scores come from several categories.
High schools are measured in gap, college and career readiness, graduation rate and achievement, which refers to K-PREP scores.
Elementary and middle schools are scored in the achievement, gap and growth categories.
The gap component compares test results of black, Hispanic, Native American, low-income, special education and limited English proficiency students to those students who don't fit into those categories.
In the growth category, student scores are measured to see if they improved from year to year.
College and career readiness scores tell how many students are ready for college or a career, based on test scores and other data.
The graduation rate reports how many students are able to graduate within the typical four years of high school courses.
Campbellsville Elementary School
The only students at CES who underwent state testing last year were third-graders.
However, state officials label students in preschool through fifth grade as elementary students. Scores for last year's fourth- and fifth-grade students are included in the Campbellsville Middle School scores, which was where they attended school last year.
For future years, however, CES scores will pertain to third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students.
Last year's third-graders, in the achievement category, received 95.6 points. The students received 88.2 points in the gap category.
In the most impressive scores, 80.9 percent of third-grade students scored proficient or distinguished on the math exam. The state average is 49.1 percent.
The 80.9 percent is an increase from 63 percent in the 2015-2016 school year.
In reading, 74.5 percent of CES third-graders scored proficient or distinguished, with the state averaging 54.3 percent.
The 74.5 percent is an increase from 70 percent in the 2015-2016 school year.
CES Principal Elisha Rhodes said she wasn't surprised to hear that CES students performed so well on their exams.
"As the new principal of Campbellsville Elementary I can honestly say the scores are no surprise," Rhodes said.
"Anyone who walks the halls of CES can easily see that this building is full of teachers and staff who not only push students to their highest potential and love them along the way, but push themselves to superlative best and give their best daily."
Rhodes said she beyond proud to lead the incredible group at CES.
"I have yet to arrive at school and be the first car in the parking lot. Nor have I left at late hours of the night and been the last vehicle pulling out.
"The effort and the drive that the teachers have, preschool to now fifth grade, pours over into the hearts and will of our students. That is when you see the success that CES has seen for the past two years.
"I am so very proud of the students and staff and look forward to continue growth as we work together to create a school everyone will yearn to attend."
Rhodes said she and other staff members have been using state test score data, with disaggregation and blueprints to move forward in place at CES since August.
"It is our commitment to continually look at where we are and push forward to where we want to be in the future," she said.
"We have taken time to celebrate our success with our staff, and we will also celebrate with our students, all while planning our next steps for improvement.
"At CES, we pride ourselves in continual growth both individually and as a school. I look forward to the great things to come in our future."
Rhodes said it's a privilege – and an honor – to be on the CES team.
"If you have not stopped in to see the great things happening, I strongly encourage you to do so. Come and see the learning, love and commitment of these young Eagles."

"We averaged a 19.8 composite, which was our highest average in school history, besting the prior year scores. We also saw gains on the EOC exams and were above state average in biology and algebra II."
Another indicator of success at CHS, Petett said, is students took and passed a record number of Advanced Placement exams, and enrollment in AP classes this school year is at an all-time high.
"We began disaggregating data and reflecting upon last year's results as soon as they were available," Petett said.
"We will use this data to help drive decisions throughout this year and to address the areas of concern.
"Our staff and students continue to work hard to improve daily and strive to remain one of the best high schools in the region."

Nahum 1 Good News Translation (GNT)
1 This is a message about Nineveh, the account of a vision seen by Nahum, who was from Elkosh.
The Lord's Anger against Nineveh
2 The Lord God tolerates no rivals;
Where the Lord walks, storms arise;
7 The Lord is good;
11 From you, Nineveh, there came someone full of wicked schemes, who plotted against the Lord. 12 This is what the Lord says to his people Israel: "Even though the Assyrians are strong and numerous, they will be destroyed and disappear. My people, I made you suffer, but I will not do it again. 13 I will now end Assyria's power over you and break the chains that bind you."
14 This is what the Lord has decreed about the Assyrians: "They will have no descendants to carry on their name. I will destroy the idols that are in the temples of their gods. I am preparing a grave for the Assyrians—they don't deserve to live!"
15 Look, a messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is on his way to announce the victory! People of Judah, celebrate your festivals and give God what you solemnly promised him. The wicked will never invade your land again. They have been totally destroyed!

Between The Sheets is one of our Inspiring Christian Stories. It is about hitting an option-less end. It's about facing death to be precise. You will be thrilled, entertained and inspired for it doesn't ever get scarier and hopeless than this. You might even shed a tear. 🙂
Sindi is in serious trouble. Find out if she conquers or not.
(Tuesday, March 3, 2015; 6:10 PM)
The ceiling became faint as tears of anguish flooded my dull and sunken eyes. I didn't wipe them. Instead I used the last reservoir of strength left in my body to pull the sheets and covered my face. I didn't want the other patients in the ward to crowd my bed and sympathize with me, telling me 'it's gonna be okay' when they didn't know how the torment was going to end. It was a fact too big to be ignored – the morgue or home, were the two possibilities staring at my face. But the morgue was more promising. Actually, it seemed inevitable. Being hopeful about home was the right thing to do, but it could be destructive too – for me and my little ones if things took the ugly turn. I was really afraid to hope.
The darkness under the sheets brought flashes of me in a coffin. Even the smell of the sheets didn't give me a break. They stunk terribly, but I had no choice. It wasn't a smell of rottenness or bad odor though. It was a smell that was neutral in a hopeless way – like feathers of a dead chicken. I wished to remove them from my face, but I couldn't since the tears were still pouring, running down my cheeks, down to the bed.
I cried with attentive ears though. I didn't want Mrs. Dube, the social worker that took care of me, to find me crying. My plan was to quickly bring myself together when I heard her chatting and greeting the other patients and their relatives. She was a kind and loving woman, so she always greeted them. But if she could decide to be mean then I didn't know. I didn't know what I could tell her – why I was crying. Was it because I was dying and didn't know what would become of Thandi and Musa? Or because I had no parents and was a mother to my young sister and brother? The volume of tears increased when I recalled they even called me Mom, yet I was still at high school. My crying worried me, it threatened being loud and hysteric – I quickly enveloped my mouth with my right hand.
Awkward as it was, but it pleased my heart that my parents never lived to see me diminish in front of their very eyes. The magnitude of my anguish would overwhelm and kill them.
My father always gave mom and us hope for a better tomorrow. It would be an awful experience for him to see that I had run short of hope to see tomorrow – hope to play with Thandi and Musa again – hope to finish my final year of high school. It would kill him more than me. More than all of us. He would run from pillar to post, soliciting money for a private clinic. He would act strong, of course, but it would be eating him inside. In no time, he would be admitted in the male diabetes ward down the concourse. The diabetes that ended up taking them one by one would seize him. That would make my heart terrible.
My loving mom would sleep in the congested and stuffy ward with me, on a small camping pad, next to my bed or under. She would cry day and night, praying for my recovery.
So I was glad they were gone. I was glad I had no one to upset. Thandi and Musa were still too young to comprehend the magnitude of the monster facing their big sister – their mom technically.
I wished it was possible to shut my ears. The other patients talked about sad, hope draining stuff. They were talking about some lady who died in our ward in the morning. I wished they could shut up or talk about something positive. Their kids, maybe.
Their negative topic pushed me to a slippery road of thinking about who could take care of Thandi and Musa if I could die. I tried to pinch myself for losing hope, but I failed. My system failed to send enough strength to my fingers. Tears filled my eyes the more. I felt like I was facing death but I didn't want to admit.
The biggest source of my doubt and fear were the facts the doctor gave us two weeks ago. Dr. Mavuso told Mrs. Dube and I that they failed to establish the problem in my body. No possible test they haven't done. Then he said if they consider the rate at which my body was deteriorating, I only had two weeks to live. That was it. Two weeks.
The weeping gained momentum again as it crossed my mind that that was the last day of the two weeks. But I thanked God for a new mom I had in Mrs. Dube. She was more than a social worker of Soweto to me. She told me to disregard what the doctor said and believe that God would heal me. But the problem was that it seemed the doctors were right. It was the day they pronounced as my last and indeed I had dropped to the point of not being able even to sit up or eat on my own. What could be worse than that? Mrs. Dube had to bath and spoon feed me.
I really wondered what was eating up my strength and body. My body was finished – my sallow skin only covered the skeleton. My hair was thin and grey. My breath was terrible. It was hard even to turn on the bed of misery. My back, sides and front were sore – I didn't know which side to sleep on. The only meaningful thing was dying, really. How could I live if I couldn't sleep, sit, walk and even eat? What else is life besides those things?
Doctors and nurses looked at me with somber faces. Of course they did wear their professional smiles, but I was old enough to see beyond. Seventeen years was a very long time given the type of life I led. My life was ending – I only had to admit. Mrs. Dube's 'believe, believe' thing was too good to be true.
I heard a familiar quick click clack of high heels down the concourse. Mrs. Dube had come to bath and give me supper. I quickly wiped the tears with the sheets. I also did my best to stop crying even though it wasn't different from hitting breaks on a speeding car. Yes, she was a well-fed woman, but she was very active. I removed the sheets from my face and stared at the ceiling.
The rain was still pouring outside. It beat against the windows like it would break them. A thought about seeing the rain for the very last time crossed my mind, but I didn't entertain it, lest I started crying again, yet Mrs. Dube's footsteps were five seconds away from the door.
She came in and greeted everybody with her bubbly personality that made her round face even more beautiful. When she prepared to take a step to the lady at the far end of the ward, she froze because the bed was empty. She was in the morgue already. She passed away at midday – about an hour after Mrs. Dube left the ward. She held her long black hair for a moment and shook her head.
"Sorry. They took her about two hours ago. She died," said the lady whose bed was closest to hers.
Mrs. Dube shook her head again. "Okay. That's bad." She wanted to cry but didn't for the sake of us all, more especially me. She was experienced enough to understand that hope was the scarcest resource in any ward. She wouldn't want to evaporate the little we held on to. But we would understand. She really had to mourn for that woman. She was strongly attached to her. She would pray for her everyday after greeting everybody. She would go to her bed, place her hand on her forehead and pray for her. Yes, she was looking at one spot on the ceiling and snoring continuously, but Mrs. Dube believed she could survive.
When she took a step towards me I was surprised and ecstatic to see Thandi and Musa mushrooming at the door. It had been a long time since they last visited me. We had agreed with Mrs. Dube not to scare them by bringing them to the ward. But for some reason she brought them. I couldn't think of any other reason except that she finally believed in the doctors report that indeed it was my last day. Fear cut through me, leaving a hot sensation in my stomach and stickiness in my mouth.
Musa climbed onto my bed. As a three year old boy, he didn't even understand what was really happening. He kept asking when I would be back home. He couldn't realize that probably I would never go back home ever again. Thandi stood next to my head after bending for a hug. Her eyes quickly filled up with tears. Somehow my right arm got the strength to rise and wipe the tears welling up in her eyes before they wet her blue secondary school uniform. I wished Thandi was as young as Musa. Whilst Thandi lamented for her big sister and 'mom', Musa was busy playing – pretending to be sleeping and snoring inside my bed. Mrs Dube watched at the tail of the bed. But then she wept for the very first time. I became convinced that she had lost faith I would survive. I felt like I had just realized that my rock was actually a big block of ice that melts when exposed to extreme temperatures. I didn't blame her though – nothing brought hope anyway. I didn't even have strength to hold a spoon and eat, let alone sitting on the bed.
I also wept. I knew no one would ask me about it, because they were all crying besides Musa who was still snoring inside the sheets. He didn't even notice that we were all crying.
Mrs. Dube then decided to disrupt the flow of the negative emotional energy. She got busy with spoon feeding me and also made Thandi busy with preparing my warm bathing water in a basin.
The meal was so good. It tasted like the last supper indeed – beef stew, roasted chicken, rice, potato salad and green herbs. Somehow I managed to finish it and the guava juice she gave me. Wherever the appetite came from, I failed to understand. I felt like I had achieved something extra ordinary. I guessed my appetite was boosted by seeing Thandi and Musa.
Mrs. Dube then bathed me with Thandi's help. They took Musa out of the bed and bathed me. When they were done a feeling of freshness went through my body. It was so lovely. I feared it was indeed the last bath.
When they had finished everything they got chairs and sat on the right side of my bed.
"You will be okay, Sindi. Don't lose hope. We will never lose it," Thandi said with damp eyes.
Mrs. Dube gave her a quick glance. I could tell she was surprised by the young girl who still had faith when she had lost it. She never spelled it, but actions speak louder than words. I could tell she was prepared to adopt Thandi and Musa and raise them as her own – she had written me off, just like the doctors who expected to find my bed empty by tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I also was failing to picture myself still on the bed at dawn. I had just eaten the best meal ever, but I felt like I had become even weaker. I was even sweating unnecessarily. Outside it was still raining and cold, but I was sweating heavily. My breathing was my biggest source of worry – it had become very faint and reluctant. At times I failed to breathe completely. The energy to breathe wasn't available anymore. I was afraid. Very afraid. Afraid of death and its uncertainties. What really happens to the soul at death was one question that troubled me a lot.
Mrs. Dube said, "Sindi. Thandi is right. As I told you, just believe. God will do it, my baby."
Musa turned his little face towards Mrs. Dube. "Mom, what will God do?"
Mrs. Dube looked down at him. "God will bring Sindi home, darling."
Musa said, "Okay, that will be cool. But when, Mom?"
I smiled faintly, loving the power of a child's innocence. Here was I dying, but Musa couldn't comprehend that. It was clearly displayed in front of him, but he could not get it. As a result he was stress free.
Mrs. Dube rose from the chair and wiped the tears that had started welling up in my eyes. But that made the situation worse – the love in the tenderness and warmth of her hands and the love in Thandi and Musa's eyes released more tears. She took out a bigger stack of Kleenexes to cope. "Don't worry. You will fine, my baby."
I gave a soft hesitant nod. But I couldn't tell whether her faith had been boosted by Thandi's faith or what. Her words sounded more convincing than her eyes though.
Avoiding another sad moment, Mrs. Dube told Thandi and Musa to say bye to me. She also said, "Bye, bye, baby. See you tomorrow." Then they took the plastic bags with the dishes and left.
I started crying again. I knew I would never see them again. When they come in the morning my bed would be empty, I knew. I didn't worry myself about covering my face, because the lights in the ward were already off – the other patients were sleeping.
I literally felt like Jesus when he was arrested – when his disciples had run away, leaving him alone. The breathing shutdown attacks were more frequent and scarier. I was very afraid. I continued weeping helplessly. I wished my dad and mom were still alive. I wished they were in the ward with me. At least they would be with me in the middle of my fears. They would assure me till the very last moment.
At midnight I was tired of crying, yet I was afraid to close my eyes and sleep too. So I thought probably I should pray just one more time before giving up. Just one more time. I decided to use the most powerful prayer I learned from my father. "When the going gets tough, stop praying and start talking with God, my daughter," my father used to say. I hadn't practiced that praying method, but, obviously, there wasn't any right time to try it except that moment. It couldn't get worse than that.
I applied a lot of energy and pulled the sheets to cover my face. I closed my eyes and whispered with tears running down my cheeks, "Lord Jesus, my dad said when I have no option then you are the only option I have. He said I must forget about praying and talk to you. So, Lord, please come into this bed I am sleeping on – just lie next to me, I want to talk with you, Lord." There was silence as I waited for the Lord to lie next to me. I opened my eyes. There was no one by my side, but I believed that the Lord was already on the bed next to me. "Thanks dear Lord for coming. Lord Jesus, two years ago you took my parents in the same year. I really felt horrible. Very horrible. I wished to die, but you didn't grant me my wish. Then I became a parent to my young brother and sister – I was fourteen by then. Thandi was eight and Musa was one. It was hard to make ends meet. At times I had to sleep with men just to have money to support my siblings and I. I am so sorry I did that. It was against my morals as taught by my father and mother. But what else would I do? Musa was even a baby, demanding money like all was normal. I also had to go to school like other kids. Lord, my life ran like you don't exist and I even started thinking that probably you don't exist. But I refused to entertain that thought. Yes, I had nothing to prove that you exist, but I chose to stubbornly believe my parent's teachings about you, Lord. I believe you exist in theory. But, now, here on this bed, the luxury of theory ain't good enough, Lord. I need a proof that you exist, my Lord. Prove that you are on this bed with me now. Lord, I need this proof very bad – without it, my bed will be empty by dawn. I will be in the morgue. When…"
My feet were grabbed by a hot wave. It was like they were splashed with hot water. I stopped everything, afraid. The wave climbed up my body slowly. My stomach became hard like a rock. Death had finally come, I could tell. And I was petrified to open my eyes and look at the being called death. I sweated terribly. My heart accelerated. When the hot wave passed my thighs I decided to open my eyes. I was dying after all – I had nothing to lose.
A very brilliant light moved up my body. I quickly closed my eyes. It was impossible to gaze at that light scanning my body like a paper in a scanner. Sweating continued. I was confused and terrified. The scanning went past my waist, stomach, chest and head.
When the hot wave vanished I opened my eyes quickly. The brilliant light was gone. But when I removed the sheets from my face my hand moved with full strength. I couldn't believe it. I tried to sit up on the bed. It was as easy as eating pepperoni pizza. I kicked the sheets and rose to my feet.
"Jesus," I said, shivering, scared that the Lord was really in the bed with me. "Now I know, Lord. You really exist and you are God, Lord."
I danced next to my bed wearing my pink night dress. One nurse found me dancing. "What happened to you?" She said, switching on the lights.
I quickly stopped dancing, embarrassed she found me. The other patients also woke up.
I stared at her bulging eyes and said, "Jesus happened in my bed, nurse." Tears flooded my eyes and I cried uncontrollably.
Some of the other patients wept as the nurse ran out calling, "Rose. Rose. Wake up. Come here. Come. Now."
Still crying and shaking, I fumbled for my cell phone in my handbag. I wanted to tell Mrs. Dube, Thandi and Musa to come and take me home early in the morning.

BOSTON – After recycling a school-best 7,100 bottles in just 10 days as part of the annual JN Phillips Auto Glass Greenshield Recycling Education initiative, the winning fifth grade class from Linscott-Rumford Elementary School in Woburn cashed in on their reward as they joined Celtics center Aron Baynes, Celtics mascot "Lucky" the Leprechaun and JN Phillips President, Bob Rosenfield at the Museum of Science for a mid-morning field trip.
The students began the field trip with a 'design challenge,' splitting up into small groups to assemble a trophy out of recycled materials. After the contest, they participated in an active discussion regarding the importance of environmental preservation.
As a whole, students from Linscott-Rumford combined to recycle 35,649 plastic bottles in just 10 days, upping its total to 604,555 items over the past six years.
"To be able to come together and recycle that much in just a 10-day span is remarkable," said Baynes. "Really, the entire school should be acknowledged for what they were able to do during this challenge, but I'm glad we were able to come out and celebrate this group of students. I'm excited to find out what they're able to accomplish over the next two challenges."
"We are all very proud of the Linscott-Rumsford students for enthusiastically embracing the importance of learning how to take care of our environment," said Rosenfield. "The lessons being taught and learned today demonstrate to young people that each one of them can make a difference."
During the group discussion the VIP panel also reviewed upcoming challenges with the students – the 'reduce challenge' in February, and the 'reuse challenge' in March. The event concluded with a group photo at the Conserve @Home exhibit.

All of which are reasons why the millions of dollars pumped into the Downtown economy over at least the past decade by Bank of Bartlett, which was established in the small town of the same name in 1980, might be easy to overlook. But those reasons also put into context the bank's consistent and generous investment in Downtown projects of all stripes.

This is one of my favorite projects because it kind of set the bar for the type of work expected from the AWeber team.
Designing a tool that allows customers to design and publish sign up forms. Fun.
Travel back in time with me to 2009.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and this is a pretty hilarious example.
We did such a good job building this tool that a few months later one of our major competitors blatantly copied it.
Note: Eric and I lost 30+ lbs since the filming of this video... those catered lunches totally got us.
There is a time for iterative development and there is a time for a fresh start. The concept of iterative development is pretty simple: deploy incremental changes, that over time, ramp up to a better user experience. This reduces risk when deploying and avoids alienating loyal customers who have developed usage patterns.
It wasn't uncommon to hear the term "minimum viable product" thrown around at various meetings.
Part of developing a solid product is carefully crafting which new features to pursue. It's also important to recognize that your success depends on people WANTING to use your product.
Just because you built something doesn't mean people care and as software engineers we need to constantly remind ourselves to focus on making a VIABLE product.
Gorgeous, I know...
As a team we had to make a decision:
Do we improve what is there or do we go the extra mile and create something remarkable.
We ultimately decided to start from scratch and I'm glad we did.
At the beginning of this project I did a lot of talking with variety teams around AWeber.
Talking with our Customer Solutions team helped bring a plethora of challenges and pain points that our customers encountered when using the interface.
They mostly found it confusing and overly technical.
I mean honestly, let's face it:
Building a web form isn't the most exciting thing.
But does it have to suck SO bad?
Some customers went as far as creating their own instructional YouTube videos to teach others how to customize their web form.
When speaking with developers around our office they would often say things like "Well if a customer would like to have a prettier web form they can always hire a web designer".
It was a mediocre customer experience at best.
I feel like developing a product team has a lot of the same dynamics as starting a band.
When Eric, Russ, Matte, Dan and I worked together life was good... (even if at times we wanted to throw things at each other).
This same team went on to build our Drag & Drop Message editor a couple years later.
We all shared a vision for what web form creation could be. Communication was at an all time high and we worked together quickly.
Each morning we would have a Stand Up Meeting before we even realized what a "SUM" was.
We were also one of the first teams to utilize a kanban like system at AWeber (Pivotal Tracker). We'd work in one week sprints and host a demo at the end.
Through demoing I've learned how to prepare and present the information that matters most to key stakeholders.
Over the years I've done many product demos at AWeber. It's really quite easy when you intimately know the product.
At that point in time this was definitely one of the biggest projects I've ever worked on.
Beyond creating an interface that allows a customer to design their web form to their liking, their were a lot of careful considerations we had to make behind the scenes.
Creating a new form field is deceptively complicated.
Each form comes with a standard "Name" and "Email".
Beyond that, customers have the freedom to create anything they want.
This led to dig into what types of information customers might want to collect and the formate they would prefer to collect it.
For example here is what it would be like to collect information via a select box:
Here are the various states for changing the "Name" input:
Customers can pick from a variety of form inputs (e.g. text area, text input, radio buttons, select box, etc.) to do the job.
We dove into each type of input, making each intuitive to use when building a web form.
So beyond the means of collecting information, what happens when the form is submitted?
Better yet, what happens if I have two web forms, each collecting the same information in a different way?
How can we make sure the data from both forms maps to the same database column?
We implemented our UI in a way that made it easier for customers to reuse the same form elements they had used in the past.
This is a win-win for both us and our customers.
By referencing a bank of previously used form elements customers have a "starting point" when building their forms, we don't have duplicate information in our database and know exactly where to store the information.
As we built the web form generator we encountered many scenarios that a customer could run into and we tackled each of them one by one.
At the time none of our competitors had anything remotely like our web form generator.
We knew that if our customers could generate an attractive looking web form they could ultimately attract more subscribers.
Therefore, much like our Drag & Drop message editor, templates were the backbone of our system.
We built a tool, leveraging the same interface we were giving customers, that allowed designers at AWeber to create and publish web form templates for the masses.
On the customer facing side people could pick from a variety of templates through an interface like this:
Depending on which part of the form customers were interacting with they could further customize their templates using some of the following options:
When we finally released the editor there were a bunch of marketing efforts.
Besides the video above, our education team put together multiple promotional efforts.
Here are some blog posts highlighting various features:

We had some incredible weather this weekend. The lows were in the low 60's and highs mid-80's. It actually felt like fall. And I guess that came just in time for the first of two AR Razorback games held in Little Rock. The university is in Fayetteville, but two games of the season are in Little Rock.
Lots of standing, walking, walking and standing. Let's just say that didn't bode well for my feet after our morning run. Because it was cooler, we actually got to sleep in until after 7 and didn't have to start the run until around 8:30. It was a nice change of pace, being able to actually wake up fully before taking off out the door.
Jason and I decided to try out a slightly different (much hillier) route. I guess that was appropriate after my Hills post on Friday. Unfortunately, he wasn't having a great run. His sinuses were all messed up, heart rate too high. Just crappy. I, however, was having a great run.
I don't know if it's better or worse to have a good one while your partner is suffering. I felt terrible of course. But, he's stubborn like me and finished 7 miles - and we actually kept a decent pace despite the struggle.
I dropped him off at the house at mile 7 where I got more water and took my GU. Then I was off again for another 4 miles. It was one of those "everything clicking" types of runs for me. I really had to stop myself from going for 12 miles. I knew I needed to reel it in and not push my luck with my foot. It was getting achy. So, I stopped at 11 miles with a 9:03 overall average. Well hello cool weather running!
After the run, I put my feet up in the air (butt up against a door and feet propped up). This usually helps me with any post-run swelling. I usually try to stay in that position for about 10 minutes. Then I finish fully stretching out.
We got cleaned up and headed to the tailgating events. But by the time I got home, my feet looked like sausages. Jason had actually pointed out how nicely they were swelling up while we were still tailgating and made me sit to prop my feet up. Good thing I had on flip flops because I don't think my feet could have fit into real shoes.
Sunday was pretty low-key. I got in a really good 5-mile run then spent a few hours on the patio reading. We ended up going out for a late lunch - pizza at a great place that has a nice patio space. Overall, just a really nice weekend.
Today was kind of a typical Monday. I wasn't ready for it. Just wanted one more day to simply enjoy. The weather was great once again. That of course gave me the itch to get out and run at lunch. But, I needed to rest my legs and feet. So it was cross-training for me.
I got in biceps and triceps then Cathe's MMA Kickboxing during lunch. After work, lots of stretching and rolling out on my Triggerpoint Therapy Kit.
For the past 2 weeks I've been supersetting 2 exercises for the same muscle group then following up with a dropset. Today I decided to superset exercises for each muscle group then follow with a Pyramid Dropset.
SS#1 - 3x8
Dumbbell curls
Double-arm overhead triceps extensions
SS#2 - 3x8
Hammer curls
Double-arm kickbacks
Pyramid for Biceps - Preacher curls - 6,8,10,8,6 (start heaviest weight, decrease weight and increase reps, then reverse the order)
Pyramid for Triceps - Lying triceps extensions - 6,8,10,8,6 (start heaviest weight, decrease weight and increase reps, then reverse the order)
Moroccan Monday
I really wasn't sure what to make for dinner. Jason had tossed out a few ideas. He thought he was going to get home late, so I thought I had plenty of time to figure it out. He ended up home a lot earlier than expected, so we started the whole "what do you feel like eating" conversation.
At one point he mention "that Moroccan" dish. Um, huh? The one good thing about keeping a blog is having access to recipes and dinners.
So tonight I made a Moroccan Chickpeas and Quinoa based off of a few previous recipes for crockpot stews.
Moroccan Chickpeas and Quinoa
1 sweet potato, diced
1/2 white onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
32 oz low-sodium vegetable broth
Spices to taste: curry powder, turmeric, salt, black pepper, white pepper, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, parsley, red pepper
Currants or raisins - handful
Currants or raisins - handful
Quinoa - made with same spices used for the chickpeas and veggies
In a large soup pot, saute potato, oinions, peppers, carrots and garlic until the veggies begin to soften.
Add in the broth, chickpeas, and seasonings. Allow to simmer until the veggies start to become tender then add in the raisins and cook until they have re-hydrated.

Great British Baking Show Winner to Judge Spin-Off Show for Kids
Season three of the Great British Baking Show wrapped up last Friday for the United States, and Nadiya Hussain was named the winner. The season actually concluded earlier this year, and since that time Hussain has been busy cooking up her own projects. She released her first cookbook, Nadiya's Kitchen, baked a birthday cake for Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday, and starred in another TV show called The Chronicles of Nadiya, which looks at her roots in Bangladesh.
Her latest project, however, might be the most exciting.
Hussain has joined the spin-off show of the Great British Baking Show called Junior Bake Off. She will join chef and food writer Allegra McEvedy as a judge for the show. There will be 40 contestants in the spin-off, ranging in age from 9 to 12. The show follows a similar structure as the original — the Technical Bake and Showstopper challenges are included.
Hussain told the The Telegraph, "I'm delighted to be joining Junior Bake Off as a judge. This time last year I was in the Bake Off tent and now I get to go back and help encourage the next generation to get their bake on."

Each year Holy Week begins with a re-enactment of Jesus entering Jerusalem amid shouts of praise. The week soon moves to his rejection, suffering and death, and concludes with the preconium paschale, the ringing proclamation that he has been raised. Each Evangelist highlights different aspects. Luke adds to the acclamation, Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord, the phrase, Peace in heaven and glory in the highest (see Lk. 2:14). During the Passion Luke stresses that Jesus is a model of the innocent martyr. Pilate proclaims his innocence (three times), as do Herod, one of the criminals at the cross and the centurion. The Lukan Jesus prays for both Peter and his persecutors and remains a healer, teacher and prophet. He is a model for all his followers who are unjustly executed. But just as this did not destroy Jesus, neither will it destroy those who witness to him.
During Holy Week the density of Scripture readings and the drama of the liturgies make preaching particularly challenging. It may be a time to imitate the early church and reflect on Psalm 22, which resonates throughout the passion narratives, along with the other laments of Psalms 31, 38 and 69. Laments, the most frequent category among the psalms, begin with a cry to God expressing anguish, suffering and abandonment, list reasons for the suffering, plead with God for release and end with petition or praise. Laments give voice to suffering with the plaintive realization that alienation and suffering can be placed before God. The psalmist clings to God at that very moment of God's absence.
The earliest accounts of Jesus' suffering and death embody the theology of lament, and in the Synoptics the final words of Jesus are from laments. Prior even to a theology of atonement for sin or victory over death through resurrection, the early church looked through the prism of the Old Testament and saw Jesus as the one who was abandoned by friends, mocked by enemies and seemed forsaken by God. Jesus joins those whose agony smothers any sense of God's presence and who stand alone before the abyss of deathfrom Job and Jeremiah through the Servant of Isaiah 53, and down through history.
While the current liturgies of Holy Week stress what God has done for us and point to the victory over death, the older liturgy, with the solemn chanting of Lamentations at Tenebrae and the somber observance of Good Friday, captured the sense of the horror of the unfolding events. In the United States today national rituals of lament have become an all too familiar celebration. Oklahoma City, Columbine and, as I write these lines, Santee, Calif., enact ceremonies of grief as lives are snuffed out and futures shattered.
A few years ago I was giving a Scripture workshop on the Beatitudes. Blessed are they who mourn, provided the occasion to reflect on the laments of the Old Testament. With the help of a sensitive young liturgist we then put together an evening prayer of lament, following the structure of evening prayer but using psalms of lament and appropriate readings in place of those prescribed for the day. Instead of petitions we asked people to utter simple statements such as I grieve over... or I lament.... Each utterance was followed by prayerful silenceno requests for help, no expressed hope that help would come. Suppressed grief and frustration over the reign of evil in our world echoed through the chapel. There was a sense that Christ was praying in us during the waning hours of the day. Participants said it was one of the most loving and healing liturgies they had experienced.
The suffering of Jesus reminds us that his followers will also walk to many Calvarys. In a haunting lament, our African-American brothers and sisters ask us if we were there when they crucified my Lord. The passion narratives allow us to express abandonment and betrayal and to feel forsaken even by God, but assure us that no one need tread the winepress alone. Jesus' final words in Mark repeat the beginning of Psalm 22, My God, My God why have you forsaken me? In Luke Jesus dies with the words of another lament on his lips, Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit (Ps. 31:6). Arms are stretched out in abandonment, but eyes are raised up in trust. Behold the wood of the cross!

Bill O'Reilly Holds First Interview Since Firing: Says Entire Ordeal Was a Far Left Hit Job (Audio)
Bill O'Reilly held his first interview with Glenn Beck on Friday after he was fired by FOX News last month.
The record setting cable news host told Beck his firing was in part the result of a coordinated attack by paid far left activists linked to George Soros.
Bill O'Reilly said the entire ordeal was a hit job and that he will be able to explain more of it in the weeks to come.
TV Newser reported:
Before the appearance, Beck said, "Bill O'Reilly is a friend of mine. I worked closely enough with Bill on tours where I can tell you that not a single person on my staff at any time ever saw anything inappropriate with Bill," Beck began. "In fact, Bill came across as so buttoned-up, and it was always '1950s polite' with him. I believe he was gravely wronged, but that's not what this interview is about…"
Nevertheless, Beck took the first few minutes of the interview to see if he could get any information out of O'Reilly about the firing, before getting his thoughts on current events.
Despite some prodding from Beck, O'Reilly said he couldn't get too specific "due to the legality."
"Look, the entire ordeal was a hit job, and in the weeks to come, we will be able to explain some of it. It really has to do with destroying voices that the far-left doesn't like. That's the general tone," O'Reilly said.
Beck then asked if he would eventually come back to explain more or if it would be explained in other venues.
"Both. There's going to be an exposition soon, but I can't tell you when, about who exactly this crew is that terrorizes sponsors, threatens people behind the scenes, that pays people to say things. We're going to name them, and it will be a big story. The left-wing media will downplay the story, but it's coming. Unfortunately, I was target No. 1. It's sad for me, for my family and it's grossly dishonest. From now on when I'm attacked, I'll take legal action," he responded.
O'Reilly then went on to claim that the people who were organizing and protesting outside of the Fox News headquarters last month were paid, and brought up the conservative media's favorite punching bag, billionaire Democratic donor George Soros.

Cults, Sex, Texas, and Catholics
So, I'll just start streaming a post together.
Start with the number. 416 kids. Some of them infants. Texas is claiming that they were being sexually molested? Not even the State of Texas is insane enough to claim that. So what are they claiming? What is the justification for raiding the homes and seizing the children?
That's just not clear at all.
They seem to be claiming that a few of them either have been molested or might be molested in the future. And they can't identify which ones are actually at risk. So they have to
So far what they've accomplished is to have created a mess. That's probably a good thing if it's important to misdirect attention away from the actual lack of any legal justification on the part of the State of Texas.
That's a start.
