Pain at the Pump, Suburban Blues and the Resurgence of Compact Growth
In his 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolution, Thomas Kuhn coined the classic iron law of social change -- paradigm shift: One theory supersedes another primarily because it proved better at explaining the empirical observations that remained anomalous in terms of the earlier theory. The defeat of sprawl and the resurgence of compact development -- the use of smart growth strategies to revive urban America through development of sustainable patterns of mixed-use, walkable, transit-friendly neighborhoods -- is an empirical manifestation of Kuhn's theoretical construct.
Over the past three decades, urban professionals from various disciplines within and outside academia have finger-pointed suburban sprawl as the key culprit for the continued decay of many inner cities. Metropolitan Los Angeles is an unfortunate example. Businesses that decamped Watts, and Boyle Heights and Compton, for the suburbs, the argument goes, also saddled these communities with empty storefronts, buildings and polluted lots requiring expensive cleanup investments. Massive redevelopment efforts unveiled to stem urban decay in these neighborhoods failed to reverse urban exodus.
Fast forward to 2008. Today these very communities, left for dead, are suddenly enjoying an unprecedented comeback. Like the Phoenix rising from its ashes, Compton last year unveiled an unprecedented $80 million shopping center at its southern fringes and a $40 million residential development to boot right in the heart of its downtown. Boyle Heights to its credit is steadfastly putting finishing touches to a proposed $2-billion upscale commercial and residential development in an area that has been blighted for decades. Watts, a community that has struggled for decades with grinding poverty and crime has become the venue for market rate residential developments. And the list goes on!
Question: Why this sudden back-to-the-city frenzy? What happened to the almighty sprawl? Undoubtedly, a confluence of several factors might have something to do with it. Yet, truth be told, compact growth is trouncing suburban sprawl not because the destructive environmental consequences of the latter have made it unacceptable development policy. Compact growth is flourishing simply because high commuting costs exemplified by oft-cited "pain at the pump" are demagnetizing the suburban mystique and suddenly catapulting compact development into the forefront of urban revival.
Sprawl, the antithesis of compact growth, gained prominence in the LA metropolis and other regions during the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s simply because powerful developers and the apostles of the unfettered free market model deemed sprawl the consequence of market choices and hence the epitome of economic efficiency, freedom and property rights. Ironically, during the same period, others took an opposite view of sprawl by arguing that Los Angeles and its haphazard land use portfolio had transformed the metropolis into an unplanned, unchecked, profit-driven growth machine (Calthorpe 1993, 2000). For example during the early years of the current decade, a classic paper from the USC Southern California Studies Center and the Brookings Center on Urban Metropolitan Policy demonstrated the environmental inequities of sprawl by showing graphic evidence of unequal concentration of air pollution and health hazards in LA.'s inner cities (Sprawl Hits the Wall, 2001).
Yet such warnings were not enough to dethrone the politically entrenched proponents of sprawl because sprawl was deemed economically, scientifically and politically good at this specific time – as long as energy is cheap. However, as Kuhn equally pointed out, conventional wisdom, may become subject to question, as facts inconsistent with them come to light. The questioning intensifies as such facts accumulate through time. And conventional wisdom is rarely overthrown unless some alternative theory that accounts for those facts is advanced. Such is the scenario behind the rise and fall of sprawl.
Smart growth developments that enable people to live within walking distance of such amenities as workplaces, shops, schools, parks and transit stops have become a land use reality of the 21st century. Suddenly, the once 'market'-poor communities have become strategic locations for compact mixed use developments that are not auto dependent. Transportation projects that had historically turned inner city communities into dumping grounds for the region's NIMBY projects (highways, freeways and transit routes) have ironically become diamonds in the rough. Transit systems like the Metrolink and the MTA's Blue Line that were once considered symbols of inner city blues have now become symbols of inner city boom – and are enjoying the envy of auto-dependent suburbanites. Along the major corridors of these inner-city communities is a proliferation of mixed-use transit oriented developments (retail, residential and entertainment centers).
As the affluent neighborhoods of L.A.'s Westside shudder and resist the intrusion of the so called Manhattan-style dense mixed-use developments in their fortress-like neighborhoods, distressed urban communities on the other side of town are having the last laugh. If affluent L.A. is giving 'Manhattanization' a luke-warm reception, smart growth is earning a front row seat in the theater of inner city revitalization- a paradigm shift in L.A. land use policymaking indeed.

"Sunny days, sweepin' the clouds away" is a phrase every American child has heard since 1969, when producer Joan Ganz Cooney and psychologist Lloyd Morrisett's Children's Television Workshop first aired their creation, "Sesame Street" starring Jim Henson's Muppets and the genius of the man himself. Re-named Sesame Workshop in 2000, it surprisingly took 13 more years for "Sesame Street" to make its first big score in comics with Ape Entertainment and Kizoic. The debut issue is true to the franchise's legacy of making learning entertaining -- it's fun!
Featuring Sesame Street denizens from all generations, the opening page sets the tone and shows it has a lot to offer the parents of the comic book reading community and their children.
Up pops Elmo -- of course it's Elmo -- who explains what word balloons are. Elmo's the Wolverine of Sesame Street, but still that's cool. This is a kids comic after all, and Sesame Street is geared toward the younger portion of the reading youth, so why not give a demo on how to read comics. It makes the issue truly accessible to all kids of all ages and reading levels. There's even a QR Code to scan with a smart phone, complete with additional "How to Read A Comic" tutorials. But as Elmo goes on to explain the workings of comics -- joined by Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and an orange version of Murray -- not only does the over-saturated little red guy become more endearing, but the book truly becomes something special; it encourages parents and adults to read the issue out loud with their child.
With one panel, "Sesame Street" #1 breaks the comic book norm of being a singular experience and makes it something unique and engaging. Elmo points out Big Bird and Oscar don't sound like him, so when you're reading it aloud, the comic suddenly becomes a radio play you're either performing for your child or, even better, performing with your kid. And the subsequent skits play out with this in mind.
It's a catalyst for a unique experience between child and adult, and the anthology format lends itself to children of all attention spans.
The stories are created by multiple artists and writers, starring Oscar, Prairie Dawn, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Telly, Cookie Monster, The Count and even Bert and Ernie done in claymation. The artwork is what one would expect from a "Sesame Street" comic -- it's bright and colorful, the character expressions larger than life. While there's nothing groundbreaking going on visually, each story does have its own style.
Most of the stories have a lesson to convey, but some, like the Snuffy story, are just plain fun. The highlight of the issue is Patrick Storck and James Silvani's "A Dip in the Galaxy" Cookie Monster story, where Cookie eats the moon, which evoked audible laughs from everyone in the room during my read-aloud -- it played the best being read aloud because a Cookie Monster voice is always silly. True to the format of the show, the 4th wall is repeatedly broken and each story is of a different length -- the longest of the bunch is Jason M. Burns and Amy Mebberson's Super Grover and Super Elmo story titled "The Anatomy of a Hero." It sends the message that you don't need super powers to be an everyday hero. Yes, Super Grover has been upstaged by Super Elmo, but that's OK -- Elmo relates to a generation that's not mine, one that grew up in a different time in a different world.
And this is what Sesame Street is known for -- bridging all kinds of gaps. Of age, race, gender or whatever else is out there holding back mankind from being truly human, lighting the way for the future of our children. Ape's "Sesame Street" #1 is onto something here, breaking new ground with the "read it aloud" format, and by sticking to that mold it offers special moments between parents and their children. And in the long run, these moments only make this world a better place.

Growing in Prayer
Discover your true relationship with God and the goodness that prayer can bring into your life.
Prayer Book
This book does two things. It explains the basics of prayer and it provides sample prayers that we can pray whenever we run out of ideas of what to say.
You can read it online or save it to read later offline.
Praying Church
In these short video clips you'll find simple and basic tools to help grow your prayer life and also learn how to do it together. Wes also addresses our commitment here at Grace Church to be a praying church and the model we've adopted in our larger prayer gatherings. This model consists of bringing music, worship, singing and praying the Scriptures all together.
Prayer Meetings
We hold corporate prayer meetings on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month from 4-6pm in the Auditorium and every Thursday at 12pm in the Foundry. During that time we have extended worship and focused prayer for our families, the church and our nation. Free child care is available by contacting our childcare in advance.
Prayer Guide
God, You are the everlasting Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.
You existed before there was a cosmos. You're here with us right now, and You will be here forever.
You are the beginning and the end. You spoke, and the worlds were created.
You are above everything. You see it all.
Darkness can't exist in Your presence, cause You are the true light.
And only when Your light is illumining our minds can we see and understand spiritual reality.
Nothing escapes You. You know the end from the beginning.
Who is like You, O God? There's nothing impossible for You.
You are greater than our problems, greater than our fears and failures, greater than all those situations that threaten us.
We can trust You with our safety.
We can trust You with our future.
We can trust You to provide.
We can trust You with our loved ones.
We can trust You with our businesses, our communities, and our nation.
We can trust You with everything, because You are more than enough. You lack nothing. Everything belongs to You.
In You we move, and live, and have our very being.
We thank You for Jesus.
We thank You for His blood that washed away our sins.
We thank You for saving us and for the gift of righteousness that enables us to approach Your throne with confidence.
We thank You that there is no condemnation for us now that the law of Your Spirit of life has freed us from the law of sin and death.
Thank You for liberating us from Satan's dominion and power… for sending Your Spirit to live inside us.
Your steadfast love endures forever. It never stops. It never comes to an end.
Your tender mercies are new every morning.
Faithfulness defines You.
You keep coming after us.
You keep calling out to us, even when we ignore You.
You never stop thinking about us.
You listen to our childlike prayers, and You respond, because our weak love moves Your Daddy heart.
We love You, God, and right now our hearts are responding to You.
We put our lives in Your hands. We trust in You.
We give You thanks for Who You are.
Just consider Zephaniah 3:17: "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." God rejoices over us! He loves us and wants to be part of our lives. Prayer is a way to make that happen. In prayer we get to tell Him how we feel, thank Him for His blessings and ask Him for our needs. And as we meet with Him in prayer, He comforts, encourages and leads us. You'll find that the prayers in these pages are particularly powerful because they are based on the Scriptures themselves. That means you can be confident God wants to answer these prayers. And by praying them we remind ourselves of His truth.
God, I'm not just a good person who needs a little help; I'm a sinner who is helpless to change. I'm guilty. But Your Word says a great exchange took place, and Jesus, the completely innocent One, became sin with my sin and died on a cross, so that I, the guilty one, could receive His innocence. I'm asking You to have mercy on me, Lord, and forgive me. Wash me clean. I'm turning away from every sin that's destroying me. I'm asking You to take control of my life, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me… Right now, I wholeheartedly commit to follow You. And I pray all of that in Jesus powerful name. Amen.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Christ died for our sins…He was buried and raised on the third day…He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve (disciples). After that He appeared to more than five hundred others. 1 Corinthians 15:3‑6
I will forgive their sins and no longer remember their wrongs. Hebrews 8:12
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Acts 3:19
It may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth. 2 Timothy 2:25
The kindness of God leads you to repentance. Romans 2:4
If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9,10
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for coming to live in me. I love Your bright presence. You are the burning flame of the Father's love. Your presence renews my mind and transforms my heart. Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me. I need You for everything I'm doing today, every situation I'm going to face. I can't do anything without You.
Release revelation, Holy Spirit. You are the revealer of truth. The Bible says it's only in Your light that I can see light. Shine Your light into my darkness today, and reveal God's heart and Word to me. As I read and meditate on Your truth, open the eyes of my understanding and show me great and mighty things that I don't know (Jeremiah 33:3).
Use me, Holy Spirit, to help others today. Let Your gifts and power flow through me. Make me a channel of Your love and not a reservoir. Speak through me today and communicate Your love to everyone I come in contact with.
Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, rise up in me and strengthen my mind, will, and emotions with Your love and power. Be strong in my weakness. Bring glory to Jesus. Let Your love, and joy, and peace flow through me today.
Teach me, Holy Spirit, You are the great Teacher. Your wisdom and knowledge are unsearchable. You know the deepest things in the Father's heart. Teach me in every area of my life. Show me great and mighty things in Your Word. Help me to stay on the path You've set for me to walk. Teach me Your purposes for my life. I set my heart to receive Your instruction and obey.
"He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
That the Father of glory may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened. Ephesians 1:17,18
The manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all. But earnestly desire the best gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:7,31
That He would grant you to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:16
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22,23
"The Holy Spirit will teach you all things." John 14:26
"The Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth." John 16:13
Father, I ask (for Psalm 86:11 ESV) that you would unite (and draw in) my heart to fear Your name. I want to be fascinated by Your glorious majesty. Cause me to tremble before the lightning, and the thunder, and the transcendent beauty that surround Your throne. Captivate me with Your holiness and show me how powerful You are. Cause me to delight in the fear of God so that I honor You in all I say and do.
Father, strengthen my heart with endurance to patiently do Your will. I want to be diligent and zealous in my pursuit of all that You'll give me and show me. Give me grace for fasting and strengthen me with might to walk in the endurance that comes from Christ.
Father, pour out Your love into my heart so that I would overflow with love for You and others. I ask that You would put Your love for Jesus in me like You promised. I echo the Apostle Paul's prayer that I would come to know the height, the depth, the breadth, and the width of Christ's love so that I might be filled with all the fullness of God. I'm asking for grace to love You with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength.
Father, let me see the light of Your beauty and glory. Grant me Holy Spirit encounters (dreams, visions, angelic visitations) like You gave Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul, and John.
Father, I commit just like David to be a person of one thing, to know and love You. Help me to sit at Your feet and spend time in Your Word. When I lose that hunger, get my attention and speak to me as You did to the early Christians.
Father, strengthen me so I can walk in faith and obedience, and live a life worthy of Jesus calling and choosing me. Help me to live and walk blamelessly before You, to be able to stand victorious in full obedience in every area of my life.
Father, set a guard over my lips and help me to speak words that are grace-giving and pleasing to You. I commit to repent quickly of any defensive, angry, or foolish speech I get caught in.
Father, teach me to walk in humility and lowliness of mind like Your Son Jesus. I want to follow His example. Point out any pride or arrogance in me, and I commit to repent the moment I see it.
INSIGHT into WISDOM
Father, give me wisdom on how to live and walk in union with You. Give me insight into Your Word. Give me a deeper understanding of Your will, and teach me Your ways. I want to follow Your lead in every area of my life. I want to walk in the highest purpose that You've called me to. I ask for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus.
Father, strengthen my heart with supernatural peace and joy in areas where I feel anxious, rejected, and afraid. Strengthen my mind to overcome all turmoil, confusion, and indecision today. Help me to restfully trust in You.
May Christ actually dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in my heart through faith!
May I be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,
that I may have the power and strength to apprehend and grasp with all the saints the experience of that love… to know its breadth and length and height and depth;
that I may really come to know practically, through experience for myself, the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge;
that I may be filled through all my being unto all the fullness of God and have the richest measure of Your divine presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself!
Now to You who are able to carry out Your purpose and do super abundantly, far over and above all that I dare ask or think… infinitely beyond my highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams…to You be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever.
Amen (so be it)
to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
from whom the whole family
in heaven and earth is named,
that He would grant you,
according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with might
through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the width and length and depth and height—
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly
above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
to all generations forever and ever.
Fasting Guide
In Matthew 18:19-20, Jesus made it clear:
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
His promise was made to His disciples, and it specifically has to do with their (and our) special assignment in carrying on the work of His kingdom. We are calling everyone to step up and take their place in God's kingdom everyday of the week – everywhere we go. His promise assures us that the prayers of His church will be answered when we come to Him in agreement on anything of importance in kingdom work. We can claim that promise as we follow His leading in carrying out the special assignment He has given to us.
Our pastors encourage all who attend Grace Church to take seriously our responsibility to seek the face of God. We are to prepare ourselves for whatever direction He may take us and to be conscious of the fact that we are His people, His servants, called: everyone- everyday – everywhere. If we are to know and do the will of our Heavenly Father, we must be in daily personal contact with Him in prayer. It is only as we humble ourselves before God, individually and as a body, that He shows us—all together—what it is He desires for us and from us. When believers fasted and prayed in the Bible, things happened. For example:
The fast released people from the bondage of sin and addiction.
(Matthew 17:21)
The fast answered problems and gave Godly wisdom and direction.
(Ezra 8:21-23)
The fast prepared Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after exile.
(Nehemiah 1:4-10)
The fast broke negative mental and emotional habits.
(1 Kings 19)
The fast brought about healing and wholeness.
(Daniel 1:1-21)
The fast expanded and increased witness and testimony for Christ.
(Isaiah 58:6,8; Matthew 5:14-16)
The fast provided unusual power and protection from the evil one.
(Esther 4:16)
The fast brought revival for the saved and salvation for the unsaved.
(1 Samuel 7:2-11)
down in the space provided below, and be open to hearing what God wants to show you. The breakthroughs, miracles, and answers to your prayers will
be by-products of drawing closer to Jesus. When praying, set aside as your primary goal to know Jesus more and experience Him.
Pray prayers of total surrender, aim to glorify God with your life, and
whatever He is challenging you to do. Focus first on what's right about Him, such as his goodness and His greatness, and see everything else through that filter. And most simply, make time to pray daily. Don't overcomplicate this! Just talk to God. Have that place and time where you can seek Him every day. If you don't plan to pray, you won't. If you find it a challenge to disconnect from the busyness of your day, engaging in worship music is a great way to
prepare your heart for prayer.
you. While this section provides some general information about different types of fasts, as well as some suggestions on how to create your own fasting plan, it is important to mention that there is nothing more inherently spiritual about one type of fast as opposed to another.
These are simply guidelines and suggestions on different things you can do. Do not let what you eat or do not eat become the focus of your fast. Keep the main thing the main thing, which is drawing closer to God. Remember, this is a time to disconnect enough from your regular patterns and habits in
order to connect more closely to God. Here are a few tips to keep in mind before getting started:
Start Where You Are
We are all at different places in our walk with God. Likewise our jobs, daily schedules, and health conditions are all different and place various levels of demands on our energy. So most importantly, whether you've fasted before
or this is your first time, start where you are. Your personal fast should present a level of challenge to it, but it's very important to know your own body, know your options and, most importantly, seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. Remember, the goal of fasting is not just to do without food. The goal is to draw nearer to God. When most people start fasting, there is typically some level of discomfort. However, it is possible to get used to the fasting routine pretty quickly. Quite simply, you must learn to fast in a way that works for
you. While any true fast does involve abstinence from food or at least certain types of food, typically, different fasting combinations work better for different people. The goal to having a successful fast is all about finding what some call your Fast Zone, and that is different for everybody and can change depending on the season you are in.
The best way to describe your Fast Zone is that it's the place where you
feel light and spiritually in tune. Your mind is easily focused on God and
spiritual things. You have an increased spiritual energy—you can feel the fast working. Just like runners know what their target heart rate is to see the benefits of their physical training, the Fast Zone is similar in a spiritual sense.
Finding your Fast Zone helps you choose both the type and length of fast. Let's say you choose to go on a Daniel fast (only fruits and vegetables). Should you eat beans? If you can eat beans and stay in your Fast Zone, go ahead. But for some people eating beans takes them out of the zone. Should you eat peanut butter? Probably not. Peanut butter is more of an indulgence, and not many people can stay in a Fast Zone while enjoying indulgences. Should you completely cut out caffeine? It depends. The great thing is, when
you fast, your body automatically craves less caffeine. If you can stay in your Fast Zone with a little caffeine, great. If you are going on a longer fast and want to cut it out of your diet completely, that's great too. But ease yourself off and make it your goal to be completely caffeine free about two-thirds of the way into your fast. If you regularly have a high caffeine intake, one of the worst mistakes you can make is to fast for one to three days, cutting caffeine
out abruptly and completely. Please don't do that or you will spend this time grumpy and in withdrawal instead of enjoying God's presence.
There isn't one approach that works the same for everyone. Follow the Holy Spirit, mix it up, find what works for you, and stay in your Fast Zone.
commit to a specific fast ahead of time and know how you're going to do it, you will position yourself to finish strong. There are several options and variations of fasts. You may choose to fast every day for a pre-determined length of time. Or you may choose to fast several days a week over a more extended period (for example, three or four days a week over a forty day period). Maybe you will do that, and then
also fast three to seven consecutive days at the end. You can also fast with a community of family and friends, or your Life Group.
As you read over the information, please consider how it may or may not apply to your personal circumstances and convictions. This is your personal decision and should be prayerfully considered as it applies to your life.
Specific Food or Activity Fast
In this type of fast you omit a specific item(s) from your meal plans. For example, you may choose to eliminate all red meat, processed or fast food, or sweets. Most people can incorporate this type of fast relatively easily. It can also prove to be a great solution for people with specific dietary needs or medical conditions that may cause certain limitations.
While fasting typically refers to refraining from specific food items, you may also find it extremely beneficial to fast from a regular activity or habit. This might include things such as television, social media, shopping, alcohol, and the like. Prayer and fasting are not just about connecting to God but also about
disconnecting from the world. Try to tune out some of the regular distractions from your day as much as possible. Ask the Lord to remove
anything that distracts you from focusing on Him. Replace that time with things that will nourish you spiritually. For example, if you are fasting a meal, take the time you would normally spend shopping, cooking and eating and spend it praying and reading the Bible. You can also use the funds you would have spent on the meal to bless someone or give an offering to the church. A challenging part of prayer and fasting is taking your focus off of the world and toward God. Many things distract you from time alone with God: work, sports, Facebook, email, worries, social and civic commitments, even church activities. In Hebrews these items are labeled as "everything that hinders."
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith… Hebrews 12:1-2
The author uses the analogy of a race to describe the believer's life of
faithful living. In the grandstands are all the faithful disciples who have run before you, encouraging you to run strong. At the end is the finish line where Jesus is standing, waiting to applaud all who cross through it. What prevents you from reaching the finish line? The author tells us that it is hindrances and sin. The second of these two, sin, is a little more obvious. A life of faith must be lived in obedience to God's Word. As you enter a season of fasting, if there is a specific sin in your life that you are aware of, be sure to confess it to the Lord, and to turn from it, because
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness"
(1 John 1:9).
But what about, "everything that hinders?" To what is the author referring? Because these hindrances are subtle, they are what tend to interfere most with your getting to the finish line. When the author tells you to lay off "everything that hinders" – the image is of a runner taking off his or her warm-up clothes so they are left with only their running attire. By doing so they have nothing to encumber them during the race. The "hindrance" in your life is not sin. Rather, it is anything that keeps you from running the race set before you. Anything that keeps you from achieving all that God wants to do in and through your life, and ultimately in and through the church. This "hindrance" normally comes in the form of good things, but becomes a distraction to your spiritual growth. These are the things that you must lay down so that you may run your race of faith without diversion. Part of prayer and fasting is creating an environment in which you can encounter God. You may be called during this time of prayer and fasting to also set aside some good things to give yourself more time with God. What you from time with God? Prayerfully consider which activities you will set aside to give yourself more time for prayer, Bible study, silence and solitude.
Daniel Fast
The Daniel fast is a great model to follow and one that is extremely effective for spiritual focus, bodily discipline, and purification of the body and soul. It is probably one of the most commonly referred-to fasts; however, within the Daniel fast there is room for broad interpretation. In the book of Daniel we find two different times where the prophet Daniel fasted. Daniel 1 states that he only ate vegetables and water, and in Daniel 10, while the passage does not give a specific list of foods that Daniel ate, it does state that he ate no rich (or choice) foods, as well as no meat or wine. So based on these two verses, we can see that either of these, or combinations of the two, constitute a Daniel fast. Again, it is important to mention that there is nothing inherently spiritual
about one type of fast as opposed to another. The foundation of the Daniel fast is fruits and vegetables. Some starchy vegetables and dairy could be included, but that depends on the individual. Your goal should be to seek God in prayer about this and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. Just remember to find your personal Fast Zone.
Juice Fast
A juice fast is simply consuming vegetable and fruit juices and water instead of solid food. Many people include whey protein in their liquid plan as well. This is one of the most popular and effective fasts. Even if you choose not to make your entire fast liquids only, substituting one or two meals for liquids is a great alternative.
Fasting and Eating Disorders
If you have struggled with an eating disorder, this situation is a battle of the mind you can win through Christ (Philippians 4:13). Remember, fasting is a tool used to get closer to God, and it actually should keep us from being preoccupied with food. If your method of fasting is going to cause you to obsess about what you eat in any way, you will need to change either your approach or your mindset.
If giving up food is a stumbling block to you, then consider fasting of television, reading (other than the Bible, of course), social media, or shopping. There are many distractions and ways that we use to stay in control that we could eliminate from our daily routine. We do these things to distract ourselves from the real issues hurting us. If you can identify such other things, maybe you can give those up instead of food. Remember that you are covered by God's grace. God will show you what to do. His "yoke is easy" and His "burden is light" (Matt 11:30). His way will bring rest to your soul.
Beginning and Breaking Your Fast Well
Depending on the type of fast you choose, it is very important to prepare your body ahead of time before beginning the fast. Take a week or so to transition into your fast; otherwise, you could get sick. For example, if you would like to go on a fruits and vegetables or juice fast, start eliminating meat, white grains, and refined sugars from your diet the week before. Also start to cut back quite a bit on dairy products and some of your caffeine intake.
The same principle applies to breaking your fast. When your fast is over, add foods back in very gradually. Please don't break your fast with a greasy cheeseburger! Because your body is so cleansed and detoxified, you will most likely get sick if you do that. There are also several supplements you can take that will help support the detox process during your fast. Your health-food store can give you recommendations. There are also several books about fasting, including food suggestions and recipes, that you may find helpful. You can find some of these at The Source bookstore on your Christ Fellowship campus.
- Make it a priority to attend church during your fast. Being around other believers will encourage you to keep on going when fasting gets difficult.
- If you are fasting with others, you may want to set aside time for a weekly biblical community group. Use the Life Group curriculum or another Bible study that focuses on growing spiritually.
- As you select your type of fast, make a fasting calendar that fits your plan. Determine what each day and week will look like.
- Keep your fridge and pantry stocked with the items you need. Being unprepared to fast sets you up to give into temptation. Choose well when selecting products, stick to raw food as much as you can, and limit artificial ingredients.
- Remember to not let food become the focus of your fast, but make wise eating choices.
- Drink lots of water while fasting to support critical liver function. The liver is the filter for the body, so when you don't drink enough water, the liver doesn't function at its highest capacity.
- To keep your energy up throughout the day, it's important to eat or drink every two and a half to three hours. Be careful not to overstuff, even if you are only eating fruits and vegetables.
- If you mess up, don't get discouraged. Just get right back on track and keep going. God's mercies "are new every morning" (Lamentations 3:22–23). He wants you to finish, and He will give you the grace and strength to do it.
Once again, as with prayer, choose the time and the place where you are going to read your Bible and devotional every single day, and come prepared to hear what He wants to tell you.
Here are three quick things we'd like to share with you about how to get the most out of your devotional time with God.
Read Consistently
It is better to read a little every day than to try and knock out two hours of Bible reading or devotions in one sitting. It is so important to digest the Word in absorbable chunks. Don't bite off more than you can chew, and certainly don't compare your "performance" with that of others. If you miss a few days, pick up at the next reading, but stay with it and don't give up. The key is to keep this simple and make it sustainable. We recommend a reading plan such as the You Version "21 Day Fast" or a similar devotional.
Read Prayerfully
Talk to God as you're reading. Don't rush through. If you come across something you don't understand, pause for a moment and ask God about it. Reading prayerfully is making space and time to talk to God and giving Him time and space to talk to you. Taking time to meditate on God's Word is just as important as reading it.
Read Expectantly
You are about to partake of the bread of life, so foster an attitude of expectancy. Believe that God is going to speak to you through His Word. With meditation on the ideas and thoughts recorded in your journal, be prepared to do something with what He shows you.
You can also apply the SOAP method to your prayer life during this time. The SOAP method works like this:
S for Scripture. Read prayerfully. Take notice of which scripture(s) catches your attention and mark it in your Bible or write it in your journal.
O for Observation. Focusing on that scripture, tune in and listen to what God is saying to you through His Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to be your guide and show you what God is saying.
A for Application. Think of how this verse(s) applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise, or correction for a particular area of your life.
P for Prayer. Talk to God about what you've just read. Prayer is all about relationship. It's a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God is telling you.
That's it! S.O.A.P. It's as simple or deep as you want it to be.
If you want to go deeper in your study, here are additional tips:
- Reread the daily passage in a different Bible translation or paraphrase.
- Utilize online resources, such as those available from Crosswalk.
- Utilize a commentary, such as those by Matthew Henry or online at Bible Gateway.
- Cross-reference your daily reading, using the footnotes in your study Bible. Research words in their original language using a Strong's Concordance.
Our prayer for you is that your passion for God and His Word will be ignited, and that you will develop a hunger for His presence that is greater than ever before!
The principles you have practiced during this time are very easy to sustain long-term. Prayer, fasting and personal devotion are all quite simple to incorporate into your everyday life. During your fast, you've created space for God to fill. The best way to continue in these same practices is to keep that space open indefinitely. Don't allow it to close up. Protect that time and space with God and make it your priority each day.
Just like reading your Bible, praying and attending church, fasting is also a lifestyle. We encourage you to establish a frequency and consistency of fasting in your life.
Remember, this is not a legalistic thing. This is an "I get to experience God" thing. It is like going into heaven for a tune up, so we can keep our passion for God and enjoyment of Him at a high level. We encourage you to do the same. Figure out what works for you, commit to it and make it a part of your life.
If you have a personal story you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you and celebrate what God has done in your life. Share your story by emailing us! Don't ever settle for anything less than a life full of passion and spiritual zeal for God. He has called you to be the church – everyone of us, everyday of the week, everywhere we go.
Keep the fire for God burning in your heart and do whatever it takes to feed your spiritual hunger for God. We are praying for you as you do!

August 1, 2012
There was an odd feeling surrounding this year's MLB trade deadline. For what seems like the first time in forever, all the marquee names were heading west instead of east. Teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays and Phillies (more on them later) barely moved the barometer. All of those usual suspects didn't pick up any big pieces for the stretch run.
In fact, those same Phillies that have won the NL East five seasons in a row held a firesale of sorts, shipping out two-thirds of its starting outfield and several other key pieces after handing out a massive contract extension to Cole Hamels. At least they didn't panic and trade Cliff Lee.
No, all of the biggest names were shipping to the West divisions. The Rangers added to their rotation by grabbing Ryan Dempster from the Cubs – who seem content to dump everyone and build for the future (it certainly isn't the present, they were nearly no-hit by A.J. Burnett and the Pirates last night).
The Dodgers and Giants did pretty well too, picking up Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence, respectively. And don't forget that the Angels landed Zack Greinke last week to give them one of the best rotations in the majors on paper. All the contenders out West – except the wild card contending A's – reeled in some big help.
But I'm sure you've read enough about these deals in the past day or two if you're a MLB fan. What I was wondering is if the addition of a second wild card spot per league helped or hurt the deadline. Let's run it down.
Help: More teams involved in the race means more teams will be looking to add pieces.
Hurt: More teams involved in the race means more teams won't be looking sell their current pieces.
Help: Teams will be looking to end long streaks of futility by reaching for that extra spot.
Hurt: Teams aren't eager to win a wild card spot and then potentially go home after a game.
Help: Teams realize that even in a tough division, there's a chance that three teams can still make it to the post-season.
Hurt: Middling teams realize that they'll have to beat those tough teams, ones that already have the deck stacked for them.
Help: Teams seem more likely to fire sale, this season more than ever. Look at Philly, Miami and the Cubs.
Hurt: Teams that are selling can jack up the prices, knowing there are fewer sellers.
That list seems pretty even to me. Maybe the extra post-season berth – even if it's for just one game – didn't impact the trade deadline at all. But, as always, we'll have to see how these deals work out in the end.

Flu season is ahead and a flu shot is great protection. Doctors say you can also boost your body's immune system with some natural flu-fighting foods. Green, black and oolong tea all deliver compounds that reduce the risk of flu.
One of my favorite treats, yogurt, also strengthens the immune system. Probiotics, the beneficial bacteria found in yogurt can help cut down on illness. To get the most health benefits from yogurt, look for "live and active cultures" on the label.
I find yogurt helps me cut fat, calories and cholesterol by using nonfat and low-fat yogurt as an alternative to mayonnaise and sour cream in dips, sauces, baking and dressing recipes. For example, adding two or three tablespoons of plain yogurt to one cup of low-fat vinaigrette bottled dressing creates a creamy and delicious "homemade" tasting dressing.
A farmer owned dairy in my area, Prairie Farms, introduced a new line of 100 calorie Greek Yogurt a few months ago and I love it! It comes in five flavors: blueberry, cherry, key lime, peach and strawberry. Each 5.3-ounce cup contains authentic strained nonfat yogurt made with natural ingredients and produced using milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones. Plus each cup contains 12 grams of protein and the yogurt is naturally sweetened with Stevia and free from artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors.
Another reason I look for this yogurt in stores is that Prairie Farms Dairy represents over 700 farm families and their distribution network covers over 30 percent of the United States. The dairy also helps families in need and non-profit organizations. The Prairie Farms charitable giving program, Our Caps, Your Cause, supports a variety of non-profit organizations and gives consumers a voice in helping local causes. I think it is a tasty way to eat well, stay well and help others at the same time!

Just when you thought you were overwhelmed with rumors about one wide receiver on the trading block, another one became available.
The Cardinals admitted today they will listen to offers for Anquan Boldin in the next week-plus leading up to the draft, though they said they still hope to retain the 28-year old and sign him to a long-term deal."I think it would be foolish from our standpoint not to listen to those opportunities and see what actually exists," Cardinals coack Ken Whisenhunt told Arizona-area reporters today. "Our position on Anquan has been consistent and our goal hasn't changed. "Reaching an agreement on a new contract has been, and continues to be, the preferred result. There are other options. Those do include fielding offers about trade."
Whisenhunt said a "few" teams have called about Boldin. Since we always hear Jerry Reese say the Giants "investigate everything," I would say it's safe to say they've at least placed a call. Now that Arizona is publicly shopping Boldin leading up to the draft (when deals are most likely to go down), I would also expect the Giants to at least keep their ear to the ground on this one.
I heard Jay Glazer mention in a FOXSports.com video last month the Giants view Boldin as more of a No. 2 guy than a No. 1. I've heard the same thing since then, but I've also heard the Giants are higher on Boldin than Braylon Edwards.
Wait, let me explain. What I mean by that is the Giants have grades they keep on players in the league - just like they grade the draft-eligible guys. Though I haven't seen the grades or been told what they are, I'm guessing the grades they have on Boldin are higher than the ones they have for Edwards. That would explain why I've been told they're "higher" on Boldin.
But that doesn't necessarily mean they would take Boldin over Edwards. That's because they need a guy to play that "X" receiver spot and be the player defenses have to account for on every play. Boldin is an excellent receiver, but he's only 6-1 and doesn't quite stretch the field the way Edwards does. Just look at their yards-per-catch numbers (15.6 YPC for Edwards vs. 12.9 for Boldin in their careers).
So Boldin doesn't appear to be a perfect fit for what the Giants need right now, which is why I'm thinking they'd lean toward Edwards - all things being equal.
Now, that last part was key: all things being equal. There are a lot of variables at play here, such as compensation, contract demands and whether the Giants can nab a receiver in the first round. So if the Browns and Edwards keep their demands at an astronomical level while the Cardinals and Boldin come cheaper for whatever reason, what do you think the Giants would do? What would you do? I know what I would do. Hey, they need to do something at receiver and if the price is right, I could definitely see them adding Boldin.
This is all conjecture at this point, as I've heard nothing to indicate the Giants are or were ever close to a deal for Boldin. But it's interesting and should stay on our radar.
Florida WR Percy Harvin was scheduled to visit the Giants today, according to someone familiar with Harvin's plans. But that same person said Harvin cancelled and didn't make the visit. The Giants have a bunch of players that were in today and will remain until tomorrow. I have a few names - some of which have already been reported - but I want to get a few more before I drop them here. I'll keep you posted.

This year has been an interesting and exciting one for Eat Cookie, Sleep Cookie. I have had the great pleasure of working on some fascinating projects with some absolutely brilliant companies. My personal highlights including cookies commissioned for a television (sadly I myself have a face designed for radio), Twitter cookies for the U.K general election and my very latest project which I'm afraid I can't roll out just yet but was amazing and I was super proud of the results.
However the downside is, because I don't have superpowers, even with a schedule that has involved working most weekends since June, I just can't fit any more custom cookie orders in for the remainder of 2015.
So deepest apologies if you are not going to get your hands on a customized cookie this side of Christmas. No need for total panic though as I'll still be supplying the lovely Villandry with seasonally themed treats to tide you over.
I promise I'll spend any free time (what is this free time thing??) I have working on increasing my superpowers/making the day 27 hours long. In the meantime some real superheroes, on cookies obvs, for you to enjoy.
Happy, busy days all!

"Go help him," Trauma yelled as the sounds of gunfire increased above them. "Get the guy in the street back there." He followed her fingered to a figure lying prone in the street, the same man he slammed on his brakes to avoid crushing.
Thorton crouched down as he moved, occasionally looking up as thunderous booms and piercing shrieks echoed between the buildings. When he got back to base, he was going to have a serious discussion with Agents Prescott and Edwards. Their recruits, especially Archangel, were insubordinate and disrespectful to their superior officers. He looked forward to many sweaty days of remedial training for the redheaded Enhanced woman.
When he reached the victim, he noticed the long white hair matted with blood and the torn black tactical gear with leather boots barely hanging on his body and around his waist, a belt with an empty sheath. The moron was likely a street vigilante that tried to take on more than he could handle. As Thorton rolled him over, the white-haired victim grabbed his wrists.
* * *
Cloak slowly moved as his earpiece turned on. Dagger was talking to someone but also letting him know what was happening. He needed to find his partner.
"I thought you were a good guy, Maze," Dagger said over the radio. "That thing is far more dangerous than any of us."
You found him! Where are you, brother? Cloak asked. If they killed Maze, they could leave this wretched city.
Cloak tried to sit up but could not get the leverage, his legs were still healing and his arm muscles were nearly useless. He managed to roll over on his side as the sounds of boots approached him.
Two blocks over. He lied to us. We were not just protecting a valuable asset, Dagger replied.
What do you mean?
I saw the science experiment, brother. Michael Larson is a weapon. He just slaughtered six powered mundanes.
That's not possible. We saw the JTF records. He can only make portals.
No, brother. Herr Metall has created something much worse.
"Help me, please" Cloak lied with his native accent as blood oozed from wounds all over his face. If he was a mundane, these wounds would be fatal, but to an Enhanced, he only needed time. He quickly scanned the JTF officer turning him over. He was the driver of the Stryker and he was a very ambitious upstart. That could be useful.
"Just take it easy, sir," Thorton said as he looked over the injured man. "We have help coming and we'll get you over to Methodist shortly."
"No, wait," Cloak said grabbing Thorton's sleeve. "Listen to me. I need to get out of here. He's coming for me, don't you see? "
Fucking great, another nut job, Cloak heard from the JTF agent's thoughts.
He smiled as the mundane did not react to the scan. He could feel his body continue to repair itself but he needed more time to heal before he could take on anyone, even the pathetic mundane standing over him. "I know things and they'll kill me for it." That got his attention.
"Who? Who'll kill you? You know what's going on here?" Thorton asked.
Cloak smiled as he felt the excitement in Thornton's voice. He knew this mundane, Agent Gil Thorton, would be easy to manipulate even if he wasn't a telepath. The agent craved power and control.
"My name is Special Agent Stefan Glas, Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs." Cloak lied as he used his telepathic abilities to relax the JTF officer. The real Stefan Glas was dead, assassinated by him and Dagger last year after the Swiss government started inquiries on their employer's bank accounts. A computer empath took care of the digital records but Special Agent Glas also had hard copies. After they killed him, the fire did the rest.
"Are you Enhanced?" Thorton asked as he stood up and backed away..
"Yes. We don't have the issues with Enhanced like you Americans do."
Thorton folded his arms. "And what are you doing here, Agent Glas?"
"I was following a trail of money laundering from a Swiss bank account to Indianapolis when I was attacked by these criminals."
Thorton narrowed his eyes and frowned. "You should have come to us, first. You are an unregistered Enhanced in this country. I could have you imprisoned for a long time."
"Please, wait. There's a reason I did not involve the JTF. You've been compromised. These criminals were meeting two recruits, Jason McCloud and Scott Jurgens. Recruit McCloud did this to me." Cloak pointed down at his injuries trying to work the sympathetic.
"Bullshit," Thornton snarled, "Judge and Jury's kid a traitor? No way."
Cloak feigned helplessness as he looked up at the mundane. He knew convincing Thorton that Justice was a traitor would be difficult. He needed to push the focus to someone Agent Thorton did not trust. "They had a third accomplice, he's the one you are after. He killed that mundane. You forget you saw me and I'll tell you everything I know."
"Keep talking," Thorton said as a grin appeared on his face. This was his time to shine.
"There was a witness and she saw everything. The two recruits came here to kill her, but I found her first."
Cloak focused on Amira's stolen memory as he touched Thornton forehead. "Let me show you what really happened that night."
* * *
Agent Thorton jumped as the memory started, the view shifting to eyes that were not his own. He did not move as each moment replayed for him in graphic detail. It was clear to him, those fiery red eyes came from the soul of the devil himself. There was no remorse when Agent Russell was casually tossed in the air, his spine snapping on impact. The greatest horror was the mundane civilian with Russell. He was begging for mercy when his body suddenly imploded. What the hell did Larson do to him?
He checked his radio. The signal had returned after the reboot.
Thorton burned with anger. They had all laughed at him, but he was right. It was Larson. He was the traitor. He was the murderer. Well, fuck Caldwell. He could rot in that hospital bed while Bravo company finds that little shit.
"HQ, this is Agent Thorton. We have a rogue Enhanced…"
Thorton never turned around as Cloak limped away.

Frontier Centre: It is five years this year since the English-language edition of The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World was released. Looking back, are you surprised by the controversy it caused?
LOMBORG: I was probably surprised by the fact that it generated so much attention, and so much irritation, when I was saying that actually a lot of the things we are doing to the environment are making it better. I would have imagined that a lot of people would applaud that. Not to mention the fact that it's true. But we also had had the same discussion in Denmark, and many people were up in arms when we had the discussion then. And that way I kind of knew that you really have to realize that people also have very strong emotions in this area, and that for some reason we have come to believe that it is almost crucial to believe that things are going in the wrong direction, otherwise we don't feel comfortable.
FC: Do you think the debate has matured since then?
LOMBORG: I think for a while it really was moving in the right direction and people were understanding the issues and the arguments better. But I think what is happening now is that we are increasingly seeing a tailspin into hysteria over the global warming discussion, where it is almost commonplace to say things are worse than we thought.
It's at the stage where people are saying its even worse than we thought yesterday, and that it is going to be catastrophic, and chaotic and disruptive – all these kinds of words. This has actually led to one of the lead modellers in the UK to come out and say it's bizarre that before we had the debate between the climate change skeptics and the scientists, and that now we have the debate between the scientists, who are now becoming the skeptics, and those who are saying it's all going to end in chaos, when it is going to do nothing of the sort – and this is not what the UN panel is telling us.
Perhaps this is most clear when you look at the movie from Al Gore. Everything he says is technically true. He says for instance that if Greenland melts, sea levels will rise about 20 feet. This is technically true. But of course the very evocative imagery of seeing Holland disappear under the waves – or New York, or Shanghai – leaves the impression that this is all going to happen very soon. Where in fact the UN climate panel says that the sea level rise over the next 100 years is going to be 30 cm – about 20 times less than he talks about. So there is a dramatic difference between what we're being told and what we're actually seeing. Which is also why I am writing a new book which comes out next fall on climate change, and I will address some of these issues.
FC: To what extent do you feel global warming overshadowing the debate on other environmental challenges?
LOMBORG: It clearly does. Global warming is an important issue and one which we should address. But there is no sense of proportion either in environmental terms, or indeed in terms of the other issues facing the world.
If you just take the environmental problem first, it's very clear that what causes by far the majority of deaths is lack clean drinking water and lack of sanitation. Millions of people are dying each year from this. Also taking the new WHO estimates of what really kills people, these are the huge issues.
The second biggest problem is indoor air pollution, which probably kills somewhere between 1 and 3 million people each year, basically because people are too poor to use good fuels and end up using dung or cardboard or whatever they can find. Only a very distant third comes climate change, which the WHO puts at 150,000 to die right now.
This of course ignores those people that are no longer dying from cold-related deaths. For some inexcusable reasons, I would argue, they have the idea that they will only look at things that are going to be bad and don't have to look at will be good from climate change.
One of the top climate change economists has modelled – and several papers that came out a couple of weeks ago essentially point out – that climate change will probably mean fewer deaths, not more deaths. It is estimated that climate change by about 2050 will mean about 800,000 fewer deaths.
There is a total lack of a sense of proportion about where we are in terms of the environment but also on non-environmental issues, which is of course what I am looking at now with the Copenhagen Consensus, where we try to look at what are the big issues of the world, and where can we do a lot of good, and where can we do a little good. And the bottom line is there are many problems in the world where we can do much more at much lower cost. So presumably, if our goal is to help people, then there are many other things we should do first. If our goal is to help the environment, then there are also many other things we can do first.
FC: Do you think that there are times when policy choices can actually do more harm than good? Are there any past examples of environmental policy that should give us pause?
LOMBORG: The use of DDT is probably the best example of this and its use in the third world was badly mismanaged. DDT is not dangerous to humans, but it is dangerous to some animals. So if you're in a rich country where you have malaria under control, clearly you should ban DDT or severely restrict its use.
But our concern about DDT in the early 70s basically meant that most of the developing world restricted their use as well. That was probably an immensely bad judgement because yes, it harms animals like birds, but it also saves human lives. These actions undoubtedly led to many millions of lives lost. So that is one example of where we need to be very careful about what we do.
But I think we are doing a little bit the same thing with climate change discussions right now. We have spent so much time over the last 10 years trying to do something about climate change. We have a treaty that will essentially do nothing whatsoever about climate change and it will still end up costing us quite a bit. And you've got to ask yourself, couldn't we have spent that amount of time and effort and consideration on addressing some of the issues in the world where we could have done an enormous amount of good?
So if we stand back, as Al Gore asks us to do, and look at it from the coming generation's point of view, they are going to ask 'what were they thinking?' They tried to do a tiny little bit about climate change at a fairly high cost, but have done very little good, whereas there are many other problems that they could have tackled that would have left a much better world behind.
FC: Is there anything you wrote in "The Skeptical Environmentalist" that you now think was wide of the mark, or that you would change?
LOMBORG: I would so much rather be able to answer yes, there are some things that were wrong, because it somehow seems a little more reasonable. But not really, no. However, it is important to remember that when "The Skeptical Environmentalist" came out in English it was already the result of a Danish debate and a Danish book. So in a sense it had already gone through many rounds of discussion and debate by 2001.
FC: Thank you for your time.
LOMBORG: Thank you.

FITREC's decision to move away from CEC accumulation (for good reason) has been very well received by health and fitness professionals. Unfortunately, some employers have assumed that without CECs, FITREC is unable to satisfy their need to ensure professional development of staff is taking place.
This is incorrect. In fact, not only does FITREC provide a means to ensure professional development is taking place, FITREC was actually built to address a number of challenges faced by fitness employers.Continue reading

WASHINGTON — With thousands of tips pouring in from the public, investigators for the Federal Bureau of Investigation were homing in on the Boston Marathon bombing suspects on Thursday morning — or so they thought.
By that afternoon, however, the promising leads had collapsed, and officials confronted a risky decision: proceed without the help of the public to avoid tipping off the suspects or publicize images of them and risk driving them deeper into hiding or worse.
F.B.I. officials, who had been debating all week whether to go to the public, were ultimately convinced that they had to release the photographs because the investigation was stalling and bureau analysts had finally developed clear images of the suspects from hours of video footage.
"We were working the videos, and the footage was getting better and better as the week went on, and by Thursday we got a good frontal facial shot," a senior law enforcement official said. "That tipped it."
The official added: "With that type of quality photo, there was no doubt about who they were. We had these murderers on the loose, and we couldn't hold back, and we needed help finding them."
The decision — which involved Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and Robert S. Mueller III, the director of the F.B.I. — was one of the most crucial turning points in a remarkable crowd-sourcing manhunt for the plotters of a bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 170.
While the decision to publicize the suspects' identities resulted in the arrest of one of the men, it set in motion a violent string of events that lasted for 26 hours. Over that time, a police officer was killed, one of the suspects died, several officers sustained life-threatening injuries and one of the country's major cities was shut down.
On Saturday morning, the younger of the two suspects, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, remained in serious condition at a Boston hospital. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died early Friday after a shootout with the police.
The authorities knew that broadly distributing the images — some captured by ubiquitous surveillance cameras and cellphone snapshots and winnowed down using sophisticated facial-recognition software — would accelerate the digital dragnet, but they did not realize the level of chaos it would create.
Intelligence and law enforcement officials said the authorities in Boston weighed the risks of some mayhem against their growing fear that time was slipping away and that heavily armed and increasingly dangerous men, and possibly accomplices, could wage new attacks in the Boston area or beyond.
Federal authorities involved in the case had briefed administration and Congressional officials on their hopes to arrest the suspects early Thursday without revealing their hand. But those plans vanished by that afternoon.
"We thought we had good leads," the senior law enforcement official said. "We were working on some stuff, and we got to a point where it leveled off, and then there was nothing imminent, so we moved with what we thought would result in identifying them."
The authorities first developed information about the suspects' whereabouts late Thursday when one of them was seen in video footage that was being reviewed from a convenience store in Cambridge that had just been robbed.
Shortly after the suspects left the convenience store, the authorities received a report that a police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had been ambushed and killed.
And then, for two hours, there was no sign of the suspects.
It was only after the suspects decided not to kill the owner of a sport utility vehicle that had been carjacked and instead threw him out of his car around 1 a.m. — a decision that ultimately undid their plans to elude the authorities — that they re-emerged on the authorities' radar.
"If he stayed in the car, they could have tried to drive to New Hampshire or something — it would have added some real time to things, which would have been bad and who knows what they would have done," the law enforcement official said. "They were desperate and acting pretty crazy."
The driver called 911, telling the authorities that the two people who had held him up at gunpoint had said they were the marathon bombers. The authorities put out an all-points bulletin for the S.U.V., and officers in Watertown, 10 miles west of Boston, spotted it just minutes later.
A chaotic chase ensued, with the suspects throwing pipe bombs out of the speeding vehicle. Of the five that were thrown, three exploded, injuring several officers.
The suspects were ultimately cornered by the police and, over several minutes, engaged in a shootout in the middle of Watertown. Armed with handguns and long firearms, the suspects injured several officers. The older suspect, who was strapped with explosives, was killed as he approached the officers.
After Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot, the younger brother — who was low on ammunition — shifted to the driver's seat of the car from the passenger's seat, slammed it into reverse, ran over his brother, sped away and quickly abandoned the vehicle. From that point until he was captured roughly 20 hours later, he was again off the authorities' radar.
It was only at that point that the authorities learned the identities of the suspects. As the authorities and emergency responders were rushing the older brother to the hospital, the F.B.I. used a small portable machine to scan the suspect's fingerprint, and it quickly returned the result: Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
At the hospital, efforts to save his life were unsuccessful.
With a name, the F.B.I. and other investigators began an intensive search of their databases, and agents fanned out across the country to interview family members and others who might have known the suspects. That led the authorities to uncover the files from two years ago revealing a request from the Russian government that the F.B.I. conduct a background check on the older brother to determine if he had been radicalized.
The F.B.I. had determined that he was not a threat, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev traveled to the Dagestan and Chechnya regions of Russia early last year.
By early Friday, Watertown had been transformed into an armed camp, with hundreds of police officers and agents searching house by house, and the Boston area was shut down.
But by 6 p.m. Friday, there was still no sign of the young fugitive, and Gov. Deval Patrick lifted the restrictions.
That order allowed a Watertown resident to go outside for the first time all day, where he spotted blood on a boat in his backyard. He pulled back the tarp on top, peered in and saw a young man covered in blood.
Within minutes, police cars were screaming toward the home. Shots were fired. By 8:45 p.m., Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whom the authorities believed had suffered a bullet wound at some point in the chaos, was in custody and being rushed to the hospital.

One of the most significant choices to make regarding designing a home is the layout or the floor plan. Regardless of whether it is a mid_sized apartment, a penthouse or an independent home, the layout or the floor plans depend a great deal on the lifestyle of the people who will live in it. The choice of building type i.e. single storey or multiple storeys and floor plans to match the layout of the house positioning each area can be highly demanding and stressful because the rooms have to go with the flow of the house; one area or space cannot be placed or positioned wrongly as it can greatly affect accessibility as well as other factors like lighting, ventilation etc.
Sites like Stanley Furniture are great to find furniture for every room including the living room, dining room and bedroom as well as case goods and accents. It gives their exact dimensions and where the furnishings can be purchased locally. Have fun making several plan options if possible. Try the basic sofa and loveseat on one plan and try a sectional or a sofa with chairs on another. Get creative by breaking up larger rooms into a couple of sitting areas. See if the dream of a chaise can become a reality on plan for the bedroom. Extra homework is important before heading out to shop for decor.

text: Senate Republicans used a filibuster to block a confirmation vote Thursday on Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee for defense secretary. Harry Reid, the Senate's Democratic leader, said it was the first time a nominee for the Pentagon's top job had been filibustered. Democrats control 55 votes in the Senate, more than the majority that would be needed to confirm Hagel, but not the 60 votes needed to prevent a minority from blocking an up-or-down tally. Republicans said they were holding up Hagel's confirmation because the Obama administration was refusing to release more information on the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Democrats said Republicans were just looking for excuses to continue the GOP's strategy of obstruction. Have Republicans been abusing the filibuster? Or should Democrats be blamed for pushing nominees and proposals that don't have enough bipartisan support to pass? Talk about it!
