Climate Bill Voted Out of Energy Committee
The bill still has a long road to travel - there a several more House committees that must review and vote on it before it hits the House floor later this year. If passed there, it then moves on to the Senate, where leaders say they lack the votes to pass the bill as it is now written.

hello all
it is beginning to look like the global warming believers are going to get their wish. they are now going to really be able to SUFFER to save the planet. up til now the only sacrifice you needed to make was to maybe to buy a curly light bulb or maybe a hybred car, but you have not really had to alter your comfortable lifestyle. the lifeblood of the united states is energy. putting a tax on energy will raise the cost of almost every aspect of your life, every thing from the foods you eat to the medicines you take, to the car you drive. you may also have to see your job go to a countriy with cheap and abundant energy. this tax will be the highest on coal. 60% of our electricity is generated by coal power plants. this means the highest taxes will be on your electricity. are you willing to pay double or triple your present electric bill. this is what happened in europe since they started cap and trade. in may countries workers are beginning striking to protest the loss of jobs caused the the carbon tax. i am sure you believers know that taking money out of YOUR pocket and putting in someone else's pocket will save the planet.
when you have lost your job, your computer is dead, you have no food to eat and your home is dark and cold - you can sit there and smuggly say - you have saved the planet.

Free preschool reading and letter activities and worksheets for parents and teachers, who want to prepare their children for future success in school.
We believe that young children learn through play and from engaging in age-appropriate preschool activities. It is our goal to offer parents and teachers materials to develop their preschool children's reading ability and language skills through various fun learning activities.
The ABC Twiggles program is a research-based curriculum with an engaging blend of technology, literature, and instructional teacher support.
Did you know that e arly literacy research suggests that early literacy skills like alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, letter recognition, and writing letters are the strongest and most consistent predictors of later success in reading.
ABC Twiggles features a multisensory program that incorporates visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic techniques and learning activities. Immersed in an environment with sights and smells, language and auditory rhythm, and opportunities for gross and fine motor movement, each letter of the alphabet is presented to children in a variety of integrated contexts, thus enhancing children's memory of alphabet letters and their corresponding sounds.
Learn more about the program and view all resources for the Letter A for Free!
Other Early Literacy Activities:
Teach the alphabeth song
Read alphabeth books together
Help your child to recognize her/his name. Write the letters of his/her name and say each letter as you write it. Have your child find the letters in her/his name on billboards or store signs.
An easy way to introduce your child to capital and lowercase letters is to help your child to practice writing his or her name. Point out that the first letter of the name is a capital letter, while the rest of the letters are lowercase letters.
Read to your child as often as possible so that they get exposed to literature. Ask your child to find letters in books, magazines, etc.
Look for words and letters everywhere you go: on traffic signs, on restaurants, in advertising, at the grocery store.
View also the kindergarten milestones for language and reading skills
Make an alphabet book with a page for each letter. With your child cut out pictures from magazines and catalogs that begin with each letter. Glue each picture to its appropriate page.

FaithWriters.com news and information for the write-brained Christian!
"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh." – Matthew 2:11 (NIV)
Some believe the practice of Christmas gift giving began when the wise men brought Jesus their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Others are convinced it started in Rome with the generosity of St. Nicholas. However the tradition originated, giving Christmas presents is a fun way to bless those in our lives who are special to us, and also bless those not as fortunate as we are. Of course, the most precious gift of all is Jesus, the reason we celebrate Christmas at all. Can't top that gift, can we?
Be sure to check out the Out of the Mouths of FaithWriters section at the end of this newsletter as some of our fellow members share their most memorable gift.

Last month, FaithWriters members were asked the following question:
Here are just a few of the answers received (note: yes, most are longer than the 1-2 sentences that they're supposed to be, but I couldn't resist including these heart-felt responses.)
"My most memorable gift following my salvation was my miraculous deliverance from smoking pot and drinking alcohol. That was 30 years ago!" – Elona Harkins
"In 2005, I had sent out an email to friends and family asking them to send me promotional points from a fast food chain to obtain two free round trip flights, so I could visit family over two thousand miles away. My friend Judy went above and beyond, sending me the total amount required, which arrived just a couple of days before I learned that my father had terminal esophageal cancer. I was able to visit him while we could still enjoy time together, and return for his memorial service." – Holly Westefeld
"When I was five years old, my mother gave me a poodle brooch. It had a little dangling heart around its collar. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever received. At five years old, it probably was. I cried when I opened it and my mother thought I didn't like it. I was too young to express it verbally, but it made me feel very grown up to own my very own brooch and that made me feel, at five years old, very respected." – Laurie Brantley
"I opened the mailbox on my birthday one year to find a manila envelope from my older sister. Inside it were the memoirs of our paternal grandfather - journal pages and detailed letters describing his experiences of emigrating from England as a boy and settling with his family in California. Included were sepia photos I'd never before seen, causing a profound growth spurt to the branches of my family tree." - Anne Warden
"My first Christmas gift from Sam. A three-book set: Jacque Cousteau's Whales, Dolphins, and Sharks. I was perplexed when I opened it--until he explained that he'd bought it because I loved scuba diving. I still have it over 25 years later." – Lisa Mikitarian
"A diamond ring!" – Isolda Irwin Whitworth
January question:
Send your brief (and creative) response to [email protected]. Please keep your answers to 1-2 sentences. Check back next month to see if your answer was selected to appear.

I have not read any of Bly's books and I'm sorry that I missed them. I seriously do not have a clue where this book came from... it just showed up in my mail box. I get so many books because of my review blog that I have had to write down those that I actually order. I do not remember ordering this one.
Janet, Bly's wife is a famous author in her own right. The book is good, even if there were several that went before this one. I didn't feel left out at the beginning, and that is a huge thing. You can find out more about them here.
It's 1905. Two orphans flee Oregon's Tillamook Head. One of them is branded a hero. Will they tell the truth and risk the wrath of a dangerous man?
Meanwhile, legendary retired lawman Stuart Brannon — now a rancher and widower — had no intention of leaving his beloved Arizona Territory to attend the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Oregon, nor to participate in a celebrity golf tournament. His life no longer consisted of men to track down . . . people trying to kill him . . .gangs preying on the innocent. Then the telegram came: Stuart, I need you in Portland. Tim Wiseman is missing. I think there's a cover-up going on . . . I'll contact you there. T.R. How could he refuse a request from the President of the United States? Read More…
"…as good if not better than anything of (Louis L'Amour). I shall remain a fan of Stephen Bly." - Jimmy Dickens (the Grand Ole Opry)
"Bly does a lot of things right for lovers of the traditional western…(he) clearly knows the country he writes about…Luke Short and Frank Gruber come to mind." -Library Journal
"In this fresh contribution to the CBA market, Bly…pens an amusing parody…(Paperback Writer) is a funny, enjoyable romp…." -Publishers Weekly

By Sandu Namkha
The author, Denzi Yishey, wrote a whole piece that revolved around an imaginary question. The question he analyzed was, "How well the UN will respond to these appeals?" Further, he felt that this question was hidden from discussion. Who hid it?
It is a cardinal sin for any researcher and writer to miss the fact that his or her imaginary question was hidden and that it was not duly considered, for instance, before the hunger strike was launched, especially when the very question was addressed in a public forum.
Therefore, I encourage Denzi to see the speech, Mr. Tsewang Rigzin, president of the TYC made on the first day of their indefinite hunger strike. Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYNAMi1oAA. Mr. Rigzin addressed the very question Denzi thought was hidden. Mr. Rigzin had a very reasonable answer to that question. In short, he said that inaction is not our option. It surely is not.
It is not desirable to lump together tangential topics in one's discussion. In Denzi's article, he lumped together the discussion of the TYC's current initiative of the indefinite hunger strike in New York with the rise of China, the historical background, and most importantly, our failures to obtain further resolutions in the U.N. after 1965.
Who is responsible for our failures to obtain further resolutions in the U.N? The TYC? It is not only counterproductive, but also unacceptable to make the TYC scapegoat for the Tibetan leader's failures to bring resolution to our issue in the last 50 odd years.
What answer can be expected if we ask this question to Tibetans: what is one of the main purposes of His Holiness' constant and tireless travel to the West and around the world? The majority of the Tibetans see His Holiness' globetrotting as efforts to gain support for our cause. Next, why do we have Offices of Tibet (OoTs) around the world?
I know that how the U.N. reacts to our issue is beyond our leader's control for the most part. I am, therefore, not blaming anyone here including our leaders for their failures to seek further resolutions in the U.N. However, Denzi should have included in his discussion all the key stakeholders, most notably, His Holiness and the CTA in this failure in order to put things in proper context.
The author should do a thorough research on efforts Tibetans made under the leadership of His Holiness in the last 50 odd years to move the U.N. I am not Denzi's coach. This is not what I am trying to do. However, I would encourage him to do some such research and include his findings and some of the historical facts relating to the Tibetan leader's efforts in his Historical Background section. Without information on why, where, and how we failed to move the U.N., we will not gain much from engaging in activities of rethinking our future course of actions. There are of course other factors that we should be cognizant of, but I will not discuss them here because they are irrelevant to the purposes of my response to Denzi's article.
The author's analyses concerning the Rise of China desires much to be said. However, they are moot to what prompted me to write a response to his article. I would, however, like to comment on the point he made about the U.N. as not being a world organization. The U.N. is a world organization. This is an indisputable fact. There is nothing naivety about it to think it as a world organization. However, is the U.N a toothless tiger? This is a valid question and can be debated, including how it is fraught with politics and a broken system.
If Denzi's research did not fail in locating the video of Mr. Rigzin's speech before he wrote that article, his discussion and conclusion section might have looked different. And it should. One of the things that caught my attention in that section is where he said, "Hoping for the U.N. resolution on Tibet may not only be unrealistic but optimism at its worst."
The optimism at its worst is better than the pessimism at its best. I would at any time prefer to err on the side of optimism rather than on the side of pessimism, hands down. We should not allow any room for pessimism and inaction in our struggle until our goals are achieved. We should strengthen our struggle and build it further on the sacrifices patriot Tibetans in Tibet are making and patriot Tibetans in front of the U.N. headquarters in New York are making and patriot Tibetans in the past have made. We should not let this momentum dissipate least we may not succeed in enthroning His Holiness back in Potala Palace.
There are a few things Denzi need not have said in that section. For instance, he insinuated that the Tibetans in exile should ignore the act of self-immolations by patriot Tibetans. I wish he had put this in a better way if he didn't mean what he said. We cannot and should not dictate what tactics they choose to use to convey their message of undying desire for freedom. We should, however, never fail to fulfill our moral obligations towards them under any circumstances. It is a mortal sin exiled Tibetans can commit to look the other way to brave Tibetans' resistance to the Chinese rule at the cost of their precious lives.
Can we look at the recent spate of self-immolations in Tibet, by the way, as one of their frustrations; frustrations against the Tibetans living in free world not doing enough for the cause and not doing the right thing? This would become a saddest moment in our history if we learn of a disconnect between the true aspirations of our brethren in Tibet who self-immolate and what we stand for and strive for in the exiled community. Therefore, it is extremely important that we pay close attention to all their calls so exiled Tibetans do not end up looking like treacherous.
Finally, Denzi should understand that the TYC is not in charge of representing the interests of six million Tibetans. Rather, the CTA is. It is problematic when one perpetually fails to see the forest for trees.

- Triumph of Orthodoxy (XVIc) Icon - F299
Product Description
The Feast of Orthodoxy (also knowns as the Sunday of Orthodoxy or the Triumph of Orthodoxy) is celebrated on the first Sunday of Great Lent(six Sundays before Pascha) in the liturgical calendar of the Eastern Church. The Feast is kept in memory of the final defeat of Iconoclasm and the restoration of the icons to the churches.
Despite the teaching about icons defined at the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787, the Iconoclasts began to trouble the Church again. After the death of the last Iconoclast emperor, Theophilos, his young son Michael III, with his mother the regent Theodora, and Patriarch Methodios, summoned the Synod of Constantinople in 843 to bring peace to the Church. At the end of the first session, all made a triumphal procession from the Church of Blachernae to Hagia Sophia, restoring the icons to the church. This occurred on 11 March, 843 (which that year was the first Sunday of Lent). The Synod decreed that a perpetual feast on the anniversary of that day should be observed each year on the First Sunday of Great Lent, and named the day, "the Sunday of Orthodoxy".
The name "Orthodoxy" has gradually affected the character of the feast. Originally commemorating only the defeat of Iconoclasm, the commemoration has gradually come to be understood in a more general sense as opposition to all heterodoxy. In this way, though its first occasion is not forgotten, the feast has become one in honour of the true Faith in general. This is shown by its special service.

Two weeks ago I had my last ever lecture at Uni, I'd love to say that I threw open the doors at the end and the sun was shining and I danced off into the day light. Reality was I closed my laptop, packed up my stuff and went home to tackle the 2 essays and 2 exams that are bearing down on me (wow I'm cheery this week).
So seeing as in 4 months I'll be donning a cap and gown, walking across a stage and shaking hands with some head/dignitary/chancellor that I have never seen in my entire time at Uni, I thought I would share my "10 things to do before you graduate – Leicester University edition".
- Go to a Varsity match, at Leicester the biggest match seems to be the rugby. I worked the first year, 2nd year got rained off, so by the time 3rd rolled around I knew I had to drag my ass to go see it.
- Ride the paternoster. Apparently there are only 2 in the country, its featured in countless cringe sabbatical election videos, so I knew I had to cross it off my list.
- Have breakfast at Jones, you will have to queue on Sunday, you'll probably be so hungover but it's 100% worth it. The breakfast is the breakfast of champions and will make you feel like a new person (but still with the shame of last nights antics)
- Visit the dinosaur skeleton – I have no idea if this is just a rumour, which building its in and how I get there…but apparently there is a dinosaur at the Uni which I am determined to find.
- Go to a Leicester Tigers game, I have to admit I crossed this off my list pretty early. I love rugby, I'm still not 100% on the laws of rugby, but I'll still shout and cheer until I can't speak anymore.
- Visit Bradgate park, if your a country bumpkin like me and the boy, living in a city can sometimes get you down. A quick drive to Bradgate park and your in the beautiful country side with lots of deer.
- Go to Gelato Village, it has the best gelato in Leicester and you need to get your self some.
- Visit the Cookie and venture up stairs to the Attic cocktail bar, it has the best avocado margarita that you will ever try, totally hipster and completely ridiculous but still the best cocktail to contain avocado. If your not an avocado fiend like me then why not head to Manhattan 34 and sample the delights of the lemon curd martini (so good)
- Eat a curry, your living in Leicester its wrong if you don't! My favourite is Jamals on Narborough Road.
- Enjoy your three years, make some friends and celebrate the fact that you survived University.
So there you have the ten things I want to do before I graduate, let me know what was on your graduation bucket list or if there is anything you think I should add. I hope your all having a beautiful Saturday.
Until next time….

Scott Arniel leaned back in a comfortable lower-bowl seat at Rogers Arena on Tuesday morning and gazed down at an ice surface that he may become more familiar with next season.
After coaching the Chicago Wolves this season and knowing the parent Vancouver Canucks ended that AHL affiliation before purchasing the Peoria Rivermen from the St. Louis Blues, there's a possibility that Rogers Arena could house an NHL and AHL team next fall. They almost did Tuesday after Arniel conducted an earlier practice.
With no limit on NHL playoff rosters, notable Canucks recalls include Jordan Schroeder, Nicklas Jensen, Darren Archibald, Andrew Gordon, Kellan Lain, Alexandre Mallet, Brendan Gaunce, Jim Vandermeer, Peter Andersson and Eddie Lack. Lack played just a dozen games for the Wolves before hip surgery and is here for medical assessment. The rest are here to evaluate and be ready in case they get the Canucks call.
"The guys are getting an 8 a.m. practice and an off-ice workout because you never know — if you're going to make a long playoff run, you're going to need bodies," said Arniel, who has two years left on his Canucks contract and is working the recall practices with Dave Babych. "We've got to make sure that everybody is up to speed and for rest, Alain (Vigneault) might want guys to move up to practice to have the numbers. We have to keep the guys ready."
Arniel will work with the recalls for Game 1 and 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinal series with the San Joe Sharks before doing some playoff scouting for the Canucks, like he did last spring. And by the summer, he hopes to know where he'll be coaching the Canucks' new AHL team.
"It (rumour) has been in our dressing room and around us since January, but as the summer drags on you want some sort of idea, but it's going to take some time," he said.
OF NOTE – The Canucks will participate in the Young Stars prospects tournament in Penticton on Sept. 5-9.

Wills & Trusts
Have questions, or just want to get your case evaluated?
Las Vegas Wills & Trusts Attorneys
Whether you want to protect your assets for future generations, need assistance in developing your long term health care and financial powers of attorney, or need assistance with guardianship matters, there is no greater comfort in knowing your rights are protected by the experienced Las Vegas Wills & Trusts Attorneys at Rosenblum Law Offices. Careful estate and trust planning can protect you and your family from unexpected and sometimes tragic events. Our attorneys can help with your will, trust, powers of attorneys and guardianship matters.
What is a will?
A will is your last word to the Court for instructions on the handling of your property and affairs. It is best to think of a will as your roadmap for the probate process. It provides the person responsible for overseeing the settlement of your affairs guidance and instructions about how to distribute your assets. It is preferable that a will be written and witnessed by two individuals in order for the will to be valid under Nevada law. There are many benefits to creating a Nevada Will including the fact that wills can be amended and revoked, you can attach conditions to your bequests and you can plan for the guardianship of your children. However, creating a will does not necessarily avoid the probate process.
What is a trust?
A revocable living trust is a legal device that can be used to manage your property during your lifetime and to distribute your property after your death. A revocable living trust is established by a written agreement or declaration, which appoints a "trustee" to administer the property transferred to the trust, and which gives detailed instructions on how the property is to be managed and eventually distributed.
Why should I hire you for my will or trust?
The Las Vegas wills and trusts attorneys at Rosenblum Law Offices are committed to providing its clients with legal services of the highest quality with a personal, individualized approach to its representation.

by Jennifer Shipley Read author interview December 15, 2014
I know what's up when Hoyt heads out to the barn at night, slop bucket in hand, to check on Sally the brood sow and her seven piglets. He knows I'm in my room getting ready for bed. He hopes he'll catch a glimpse of me through the flimsy curtains, undressing, walking around half naked hanging up my clothes and slipping into my nightgown. "Mercy, mercy, Jesus," he'll say, looking toward the light. "Why must you tempt my sorry soul?" but then he'll remind himself he's my stepfather now and has a duty to keep me on a righteous path. He needs to know what a teenager is doing in that room with the doors closed, now doesn't he?
He'll set that bucket down—the pigs can wait. He'll sneak over to the juniper tree and hide just beyond the rectangle of light shining out from my window, being careful not to step in the gravel surrounding the propane tank. His approach won't be blocked anymore by the tangle of brambles that had guarded the house; he whacked them down last week saying they'd become a fire hazard. Upstanding man that he is, he'll fight his perverted urges as he moves closer—"Stop me, Lord . . . Save me, Lord . . . Get thee hence, Satan"—but his feet won't listen. With his eyes fixed on my window, he'll creep through the darkness matching his movements to the croaking of the crickets, one slinking step at a time until his outstretched hand touches the clapboard wall separating him from his sin; he could still turn away.
But the light will beckon. And he'll hear gospel music playing on the radio . . . Just as I am, Lord, just as I am. Could she have taken the Lord into her heart? "Oh, Jesus." He'll take that last step, tucking himself up tight to the house, his head inches from the open window. He'll smell the lavender sachets hung from the curtain rod to ward off the hog stench and then, if the Lord doesn't intervene, Hoyt will lean a bit to the left, letting his one good eye peek in as the curtains lift and fall in the night breeze.
Tonight, I'm going to give him something to look at. I have a kitchen chair pushed over to the window with my latest canvas—a painting of a Dal sky, cerulean blue with white clouds—propped up on the seat. A golden window frame floats mid-air, and in that window frame I've painted a giant eye—brown, like Hoyt's—but with a rectangular goat's pupil—like Satan's. And up in the corner, on the puffiest cloud, sits Jesus . . . melting. Is this what you wanted to see, Hoyt? Look what you've done to Jesus!
What he won't see is the bottle of corn oil and jar of pink glitter I've dumped in the stubble below my window. He'll walk away unaware that a fairy princess trail is following his every move. In the morning, Mother will see the pink sparkles all over the kitchen floor and say, "Girls, what have I told you about using glitter? Look at this . . . it's even on my new doormat!" But then she'll crouch down to inspect the damage and see the oily bootprints. She'll follow them back to the bedroom where Hoyt's black and tan cowboy boots, their swirling stitches embellished with pink glitter, will be perched against the doorframe. "What did you do to Hoyt's boots?" she'll say, glaring at me.
And I'll say, "Come with me, Mother. Let's take a tour of our lovely yard." We'll hear Sally and her piglets squealing, thinking here comes breakfast, but we'll ignore them and follow the glittering trail straight back to my bedroom window. "See for yourself," I'll say and maybe this time she'll believe me.

Fanning the fires of national disunity
By Ed Broadbent
Since first being elected to the House of Commons in 1968, at a time of great national unity, I have never witnessed a Canadian prime minister consciously decide to disunite the nation. Until now.
After failing to bring forth an essential stimulus package last week, Stephen Harper has betrayed the fundamental obligation of a prime minister: to build and strengthen national unity in possibly the world's most difficult federation to govern.
Beginning last week, Mr. Harper has sought to avoid a legitimate vote of confidence and its unpleasant consequences not by sober or even merely partisan constitutional arguments but, culminating in Wednesday's television address, by a barrage of deliberately gross distortions. He is turning a serious dispute over the need for immediate economic stimulus into an unrelated and dangerous matter of national unity.
In the 1980s, Pierre Trudeau made a mistake in key elements of the national energy program that negatively affected the attitude of many in Alberta and Saskatchewan not only toward him but to Central Canada in general. Although his policy had that effect, no one, including myself, who was critical of parts of the program accused Mr. Trudeau of deliberately alienating Western Canada.
Now, for the first time in our history, we have a prime minister prepared to set a fire that we may not be able to put out, for the paltry purpose of saving himself from a confidence vote on Monday. In almost every sentence, paragraph and page coming from Mr. Harper, his ministers and Conservative MPs, we're getting distortions intended to delegitimize a democratically formed coalition, proposed in accordance with normal parliamentary practices, between the Liberals and the NDP.
The Conservatives have tried to link the coalition with a demonized Bloc Québécois and Quebec. Mr. Harper wants to buy time in order to stir up support from a majority in English Canada. He is turning a serious constitutional and legal issue, on which he knows he cannot win a confidence vote, into a political battle of national unity, calculating that the numbers are on his side.
Instead of focusing on accommodation, on the need for early action on the economy, Mr. Harper is launching hypocritical attacks that can lead to a national disaster, and, with the time prorogation has granted him, he will no doubt continue to promote disunity. Consider the following falsehoods that he, his ministers and their party are spreading:
1. The Bloc is part of the Liberal-NDP coalition. It's not. But it is providing needed stability by signing an agreement not to bring down the coalition during its first 18 months. Mr. Harper has relied on the Bloc 14 times in votes, and twice on budget ones.
2. The Bloc was promised six Senate seats. The Bloc, of course, is opposed to the Senate. No such offer exists.
3. According to Mr. Harper, the Canadian flag did not appear behind Stéphane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe during their press conference. This is false. The flag was visibly there.
4. The Bloc would have a veto on all the actions of the coalition government. False. The Bloc did not ask for, and was not given, such a veto. In fact, its agreement not to bring down the coalition means the opposite is true.
5. Mr. Harper and his supporters are calling all "sovereigntists" in Quebec "separatists." Although a great number of Quebeckers would call themselves "sovereigntists," a large majority of them are certainly not separatists.
Mr. Harper has failed to provide the stimulus that Canada needs as pensioners suffer and jobs bleed. The coalition would provide the stimulus, part of it immediately, if given the chance. Virtually all elements of the Liberal-NDP stimulus package were designed to appeal to all of Canada (including EI, bankruptcy, housing and infrastructure, child care, reforms to protect workers and pensioners). A few had a regional focus (the Wheat Board, forestry and the concerns of senior workers). None were designed to give Quebec preferential treatment. The central objective was to quickly follow the lead of the 19 other G20 countries and stimulate the economy to protect Canadians and promote early economic growth.
Instead of following constitutional precedent and allowing a democratic confidence vote to take place when it should, we have a power-hungry man who will be recorded as the first prime minister in Canada's history to deliberately create a political crisis and set the fire of national disunity.
Ed Broadbent is founding president of Rights and Democracy and a former leader of the federal New Democratic Party.

Spiritual Physics
Few are really aware of
Such universes
Existing beyond our own
Even fewer of so many other versions
Of selfhood living
In each of them, let alone
This simple secret:
At the depth of consciousness
Lives a quantum
Or soul as we prefer to call it
A particle, demon and/or angel dancing
The same dance afar, far apart
In an entanglement

Bryce Marquis, Ph.D.
Project Title: Amino acid supplementation for improved physical function in geriatric heart failure patients
Bryce Marquis, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Geriatrics in the UAMS College of Medicine. The KL2 Mentored Research Career Development Award will support his project testing nutritional therapies to improve respiratory efficiency for heart failure patients.
Heart failure is prevalent in the elderly, comprising 6-10 percent of the population over the age of 65 and carrying a 35 percent risk of death within the first year of diagnosis. Exercise is an effective treatment strategy but heart failure patients suffer from reduced respiratory efficiency that limits their mobility and ability to exercise. This respiratory inefficiency is in a large part due to the impaired mitochondrial oxidative capacity found in heart failure patients. Marquis' work aims to improve this oxidative capacity using nutritional therapies that have been previously found to be effective treatment strategies for other diseases where mitochondrial energetics are diminished. These therapies are designed to increase mitochondrial protein turnover and biogenesis while improving oxidative substrate availability.
He anticipates the results of this work will direct the development of a new nutritional approach that can be used alone or synergistically with exercise to improve health outcomes in heart failure patients.
Marquis joined the College of Medicine faculty this year from the University of Central Arkansas, where he was an assistant professor of chemistry. He received his doctorate in analytical chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. He was also a National Research Council postdoctoral associate at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Md.

Project Title: Neuropathic Pain in Pregnancy
Shona Ray-Griffith, M.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry in the UAMS College of Medicine. She also has a secondary appointment as assistant professor in the college's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Ray-Griffith's KL2 Mentored Research Career Development Award project is the first study using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat neuropathic pain in pregnant women. rTMS uses a magnetic force to change the way nerves work in the brain. Because it is non-invasive and localized, rTMS is attractive for use in special populations, such as pregnancy.
Neuropathic pain is caused by problems in the nervous system and commonly occurs in pregnancy. Managing neuropathic pain in pregnancy is difficult because treatments can have a direct effect on infant outcomes. Ray-Griffith believes rTMS may be an acceptable alternative to medications. The overall goal of her study is to define the course, management, and pregnancy outcomes of neuropathic pain in pregnancy and the acute postpartum period. The study will enroll 60 pregnant women. Over a 15-month period, all participants will receive treatment as usual, while those diagnosed with neuropathic pain will be offered rTMS as a treatment option.
Ray-Griffith joined the UAMS College of Medicine faculty in 2013 with clinical appointments in the Women's Mental Health program and as a psychiatry consult and liaison. She received her academic appointments in 2014. She was a research fellow in the Women's Mental Health Program and also served her residency and internship with the Department of Psychiatry. Ray-Griffith received her medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and she is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

Anthony Goudie, Ph.D., M.S.P.H.
Project title: "Identifying Systematic Barriers to the Translation of Best Practice Prevention Procedures for Reducing Pediatric Healthcare-Acquired Infections"
Anthony Goudie, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), received a KL2 Mentored Career Development Award in 2012. As a child health services researcher, Goudie is interested in identifying hospital factors that can be triggers for quality improvement and targets for incentivizing to effectively improve patient safety outcomes. His KL2 project examines Clostridium difficile infections in children's hospital to identify economic and organizational characteristics that are barriers to the translation of best practices for infection control and patient safety. The increased incidence and variation of C. difficile infection rates across hospitals is worthy of study given that hand hygiene, contact precautions, environmental cleaning, lab alerts, and staff and patient education have been demonstrated as effective measures to prevent or reduce contracting the infection. Ultimately, the results of his research will inform policy-makers on effective incentive settings for low performing hospitals.
Goudie earned his undergraduate degrees in statistics and economics from Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada. He completed a Master of Public Health and a doctorate in health services research, both from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Prior to joining the faculty of UAMS in September 2011, Goudie was faculty with the Child Policy Research Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Brooke Montgomery, Ph.D., M.P.H.
Project title: "Adapting and Testing an Evidence-Based Sexual Risk Reduction Intervention for Women Who Have Experienced Sexual Violence"
Brooke Montgomery, Ph.D., M.P.H., assistant professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the College of Public Health, was accepted into the KL2 Mentored Career Development Award program in 2012. As a behavioral scientist, her interests lie in the intersection between sexual violence, sexual risk, mental health and substance use. Her research aims to reduce HIV and sexually transmitted infection rates among women. Her KL2 project will expand on the current literature by examining epidemiologic relationships between violence and sexual risk in a large national dataset of at-risk women, conducting interviews with community stakeholders in the field of sexual violence to identify potential facilitators and barriers to the creation and implementation of a sexual risk reduction intervention for women who have experienced sexual violence, and adapting and testing an evidence-based HIV prevention intervention for this underserved and vulnerable population.
Montgomery obtained a Bachelor of Arts in biology and women's studies from Washington University in St. Louis and completed a Master of Public Health and doctorate in health promotion and prevention research, both from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). She joined the faculty of UAMS in 2010
Cohort 3 (2011)

George Andrew James, Ph.D.
Project title: "Predicting Treatment Response to Surgical Resection in Epilepsy with Functional Neuroimaging"
George Andrew James, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, is a national expert in functional brain imaging methodology. His research interests lie in multivariate approaches to analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and how the neural networks mediating cognition encode individual variance in intelligence, personality and behavior.
James was accepted into the KL2 Mentored Career Development Award program in 2011 with the long-term goal of integrating his functional neuroimaging research into clinical practice. For his KL2 Scholar project, James is incorporating 11 functional MRI tasks into the standard of care for patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy seeking surgical resection. This series of functional neuroimaging tests will allow a unique exploration of the interaction between cognition and brain function. By modeling the brain's functional networks pre-surgery, he hopes to develop an algorithm to improve predictive modeling of surgical outcomes.
James earned his undergraduate degrees in chemistry and applied psychology from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Florida and completed postdoctoral training at Emory University. He joined the UAMS faculty in 2009.

Chase Ink Business Preferred Card Reviews
Chase's new Ink Business Preferred credit card offers a terrific points bonus for new cardmembers, but its fees and rates may make you look for a different business credit card.
About Chase Ink Business Preferred Card
The Chase Ink Business Preferred Card is a new credit card from Chase designed for business owners. The card provides sizeable points bonuses for early spending and business purchases.
The Ink Business Preferred is one of two Chase business credit cards – the other is the Ink Cash card.
The big difference between these cards is the rewards you get, and we'll break down those rewards, as well as the card's rates and fees, in the next few minutes we have together.
Also, to give you a better sense of how people like this card, we'll include some expert opinions, too.
We'll finish up with some general thoughts about the Chase Ink Business Preferred Card and how it compares to competing business cards.
A Quick Word About How to Choose a Good Business Credit Card
One of the things you'll discover is that, while business credit cards aren't as numerous as consumer credit cards, there are still dozens of options from which you can choose.
Finding the right card is a matter of understanding what you want out of it; yes, it's that simple. Business cards typically offer you cash back or points that can go toward certain travel rewards programs.
In terms of value, travel cards tend to offer you more – 12,000 points with American Express' Starwood Preferred Guest Card could get you one night in a $300 hotel, while 12,000 points with the Ink Cash card gets $120.
If you would rather get some free travel out of a credit card, the Ink Business Preferred has some qualities you'll love (more on that in a few seconds). However, if it's cash you want, check out our review of the Ink Cash for Business card.
The Rewards You Get With the Ink Business Preferred Card
Consider this card – and every credit card – a combination of short-term and long-term rewards and benefits. As you read over these various benefits, start to ask yourself whether or not the Ink Preferred is something you'll actually enjoy and use.
There's no sense in signing up for a credit card if it's not giving you rewards that you'll use.
Our Chase Ink Business Preferred Card Review
The Ink Business's Short-Term Rewards
You'll get 80,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points if you can spend $5,000 in the first three months.
Those 80,000 "CUR" points can be used to buy flights or hotel nights through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal, but you can also transfer the points 1-for-1 to a number of frequent flyer/hotel loyalty programs.
Included in those programs are:
- Southwest Rapid Rewards
- United MileagePlus
- JetBlue TrueBlue
- British Airways Executive Club
- World of Hyatt
- IHG Rewards Club
- Marriott Rewards
- Ritz-Carlton Rewards
Earning these points is pretty straightforward, but remember that the three-month clock starts ticking the day Chase approves you for the card, not the day you receive it in the mail.
As for the Ultimate Rewards program, Chase automatically enrolls you so that transferring or using your points is just a matter of a few clicks.
25% Bonus on CUR Buys
Another advantage of this card is that you get a 25% bonus when you book travel through the Ultimate Rewards portal. Chase quotes you a cash price for the booking, then calculates how many points it will cost you.
So, a room that costs $250 should normally require 25,000 points, but with your 25% bonus, it will only cost you 20,000 points.
Beware of hidden markups, though. We found through our research of three popular destinations that, while the CUR portal will cost you less points than booking with a hotel loyalty program, their cash prices tend to be higher than what you'd pay on Kayak.com.
CUR Points Value
If you're looking to use your CUR points for domestic flights, we recommend transferring them to Southwest's Rapid Rewards program.
As our review of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier credit card shows, 80,000 points can get you at least four round-trip flights.
The Ink Preferred's Long-Term Rewards
While the short-term rewards with this card are pretty strong, you need to weigh the long-term rewards to make sure this card will be worth it a few years down the road. There's no sense in paying the card's annual fee if it's not going to be useful.
Points Bonuses
Like all travel rewards cards, the Chase Ink Business Preferred card gives you bonuses every time you use your card to make a purchase.
You'll get 3 points for every dollar you spend in the following categories: shipping; advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines; travel; internet, cable, and phone services.
There's a catch to this, though. Chase's consumer cardholders get their points at the end of the month, but business cardholders get their points on their cardmember anniversary.
This only applies to accrued points and not your 80K bonus points – those show up 8-12 weeks after hitting the spending threshold.
As long as your account is open and in good standing, you won't lose your points.
Travel & Purchase Protection
The second main long-term benefit of the Ink Preferred card is its suite of travel and purchase protection plans.
Keep in mind, though, that these plans are available, in one way or another, to all Chase cardholders and not just Ink Preferred customers.
Travel Protection
When you use your card to buy travel or pay for expenses due to trip delays, Chase will reimburse you for the troubles.
In the case of trip cancellation or interruption, you could be eligible for up to $5,000 per trip if your travel was non-refundable and you incurred expenses related to your travels (tours, cab fares, etc.).
If your trip is delayed more than 12 hours, Chase may reimburse you for any lodging and other expenses you rack up because of the delay. The cap on the reimbursement is $500.
In both of these situations, there are rules and details restricting payouts. These details can be read in the benefits guide you're sent when you receive the card.
We read through the benefits guide and found the following important tips:
- The trip in question can't be longer than 60 days
- The cardholder, his/her spouse, children, children's spouses, other relatives and employees traveling with the cardholder are covered.
- If a trip is canceled because of sickness, you have to have a doctor's note saying traveling is medically inadvisable.
- Canceled trips aren't insured if the cancellation is due to a pre-existing condition
Shopping Protection
The Ink Preferred card has some solid shopping benefits:
- Purchase protection up to $10K per claim
- One-year extended warranty on certain items
- Price protection if item's price drops within 90 days
- Returns on items store won't take back within 90 days
This is a pretty standard suite of shopping benefits and, like the travel protections we listed above, come with their own series of limits and exceptions.
Purchase protection, for example, is good on items that are stolen or damaged within 120 days of purchase.
You'll have to provide proof of the damage or the theft, and Chase is required to give you a decision on the claim within 15 days of them receiving the requested proof.
Items that aren't covered include, but aren't limited to, animals, living plants, antiques, collectible items, computer software, items lost via mail carriers, medical equipment, and jewelry in your baggage that you didn't carry by hand.
The Ink Preferred Business Credit Card's Rates and Fees
Your Ink Preferred card comes with a set of fees and interest rates that, for the most part, kick in if you pay late or don't pay your balance in full:
- APR: 16.49% - 21.49% for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances
- Penalty APR: Up to 29.99%
- Annual Fee: $95
- Balance Transfer fee: 5%
- Late payment: Up to $39
By comparison, the Capital One Spark Cash card has a single APR of 17.49% and an annual fee of $59 that's waived the first year.
Reviews of the Chase Ink Business Preferred Card
Because this is a new card, there aren't that many cardholder reviews of the Ink Business Preferred.
However, there are plenty of expert reviews on the card. These reviews can help you get an overall view of the Ink's strong and weak points.
We agree with what other credit card experts have said: The Ink Business Preferred is one of the top business credit cards on the market.
Here's a rundown of the card's scores across several different sites:
- Value Penguin: 95/100
- Credio: 98/100,
- CreditCards.com: 4.2 stars
- MilesCard.com: 5 stars
The Good: Valuable Rewards
The most frequent praise of this card was its rewards points – no other consumer credit cards from Chase offer that many points.
Certain Hilton and Marriott cards offer more bonus points, but our research indicates that Chase Ultimate Rewards points are far more valuable.
So, know that you're getting a great introductory bonus with this card – arguably the best in the industry.
The Bad: Fees
Criticism of this card centers on its APR and annual fee, both of which are warranted.
The Ink Business Preferred's $95 annual fee is considerably higher than the Spark Cash. Both the Ink Cash and the American Express SimplyCash Plus don't have an annual fee.
Also, the Ink Preferred's low-end APR of 16.49% is nearly 3% higher than the Ink Cash's 13.74% but a full percent lower than the Spark's flat APR of 17.49%.
The American Express SimplyCash Plus has a low APR of 12.74%.
As you can see, the Ink Business Preferred's interest rate is pretty high compared to the competition.
However, this interest rate will only come into play if you don't pay your balance off in full, every month.
You also need to keep in mind that this card has a penalty APR, which means your interest rate could go up to 29.99% if you make one late payment. Worse yet, Chase says the APR could stay that high indefinitely.
Our Final Thoughts on the Chase Ink Business Preferred Card
As business cards go, the Ink Business Preferred leads the industry in several areas both good and bad.
Great Rewards
You aren't going to find a card that has such a valuable introductory bonus. Depending on your flight preferences, you could use your 80K points to book four round-trip flights with Southwest.
Hotel-wise, these points are best used with the World of Hyatt program – Category 3 hotels, which include Hyatt Regency and Grand Hyatt, can be booked for 12,000 points a night.
High Fees and Rates
The downsides to this card are its high annual fee and APR. If you know you're going to carry a balance on this card, you're most likely going to pay hundreds of dollars more in interest than you would with the AmEx SimplyCash Plus or the Ink Cash.
One business card we've yet to expand on is American Express' business version of their Starwood Preferred Guest card.
This card deserves to be in the conversation because, like the Ink Business Preferred, it's a travel rewards card.
The SPG card has a low-end APR of 15.74% and a $95 annual fee that's waived the first year. The intro points bonus is lower – 35K – but SPG hotels have great redemption rates in relation to their level of luxury and style.
Is the Chase Ink Business Preferred card right for you? Well, if you know you're going to carry a balance on your card, it may be worth it to check out the AmEx SPG business card. The APR is lower and you still get a decent amount of rewards points.
However, if you like Chase credit cards or you prefer to fly with United or Southwest, then the Ink Business Preferred's bonus points can give you multiple free flights on those two airlines.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS-Freya Pruitt is not someone you ignore. She is way beyond clichés like iron will and dogged determination. If anyone else had offered this, I would have laughed, saying thanks before refusing. But, Freya asked me to be her magazine's new Food and Wine editor. As of now, I'm aboard with Today's Texas Woman. And very happy with my decision.
Why? It's not only the exceptional quality of the publication and the lofty but attainable goals. I was persuaded by Freya's words:
"There is great power in a group of people who live from a spirit of hope and gratefulness. America was founded on a pioneer spirit of truth and faith. We need to believe we have not changed our very souls. This defining moment in history will either produce giants of hope and encouragement or a quivering spirit of fear and indecisiveness. I have chosen to believe in the indomitable spirit of America. We must reach out to make a difference by being a difference. Join us all in making our world a beacon of hope and encouragement by speaking the truth and extending our family of love to the world."
Today's Texas Woman is domiciled in San Antonio, one of the most exciting cities in America. My work will showcase people, places, wines, celebrities and stars of tomorrow, restaurants, chefs, and travel opportunities not only in Texas but also throughout the country.
Good news. I'll continue writing for the other publications from Atlanta to Oregon to Florida that carry my columns and features. I will remain the managing editor of Wines Down South. Too much work? Hardly. Freya Pruitt, by words and deeds, reminds me each day that limitations are self-imposed . Good work is transcendent. There are no barriers.
Enjoy an evening at Savi in Atlanta:
And a journey along North Florida's Spanish Trace:

Emma Watson is New Lancôme Face
Emma Watson has become incredibly popular recently. Firstly her collaboration with Burberry and People Tree then Emma Watson got Elle Style Award and also was named the Best Dressed British Woman by Glamour 2010. And now Emma Watson is tapped to become the new face of Lancôme. And if you please, she is just 20 year-old girl, OMG, what is going to happen next in Emma's career?!
Honestly speaking, Emma hasn't yet commented upon her contract as well as Lancôme spokesperson's refused to comment on the celebrated deal. But it is rumored that Emma has signed a six-figure deal with Lancôme… um, rather remunerative business!
It's so exciting; I can't wait to start shooting. Although I don't wear much make-up I'm a big fan of Lancôme products, especially their mascara.
Emma admitted.
A print ad shot by celebrated photographer, Mario Testino will release next month. I'm curious to see what will come out of Emma Watson's Lancôme 'beauty experience'.

Why Should you Refer to a Periodontist?
Improper placement of dental implants can lead to long term complications such as infection, bone loss and crown/screw fracture. These can all affect the long term stability of the implants and their aesthetic appearance. Periodontists are dental specialists that have extensive training in the placement of dental implants. They are also experts in treating complications that may arise due to implant placement. The following are examples of implants placed by inexperienced dentists that were replaced by Drs. Kolinski and Crosby:

text: Hi, Once I have tested correctly that for example both XEP_example.py and XEP_plot_record_playback.py works OK, I want to connect only the radar with another MCUs rather than with Atmel, via SPI. Modifying a bit XEP_example.py, I have an output like the log file attached: 1. What is the dispatching packet? I have already another MCU board with an available SPI port , and I just want to replicate the config done on XEP_example.py in order to get data from radar, the same as: On my system, I attached you a picture from the oscilloscope, where you could see the SPI signals (CLK, MISO, MOSI and CS respectively), where after sending correctly on the MOSI port, with the CLK signal right the same data as in the XEP_example.py->ping command, nothing happens on the MISO port, no answer from Xethru radar. CS is on low level to select the radar chip and begin SPI communication. We are using SPI frecuency around 500kHz, and we don´t know if anything else must be set before communicating at SPI low level. 2. How to get answer by SPI from the radar chip? 3. How to decode the radar frame received to get distance? Kind regards, Sergi.

Simply put...weight loss treatment that works.
Welcome to the Internet home of our NEO Bariatric Medicine. You will find information about our services, downloadable forms, frequently asked questions and location information on the pages within our website, listed to the left.
If you wish to join our mailing list and receive our monthly newsletter, please go to the the "Contact Us" page and click on the link.
NEO Bariatric Medicine provides evaluation and treatment of obesity and associated conditions in adolescents and adults. We take an aggressive approach to weight management by using a combination of nutrition counseling, behavior modification, and medication treatment (where appropriate).
We provide an alternative to commercial weight loss centers by offering a comprehensive, integrated, individualized, medically-oriented approach to weight loss and weight maintenance.
No two overweight people are exactly alike. Each of us are unique genetically. "Canned" or "one size fits all" approaches to weight loss ignore this important fact.
A lot people are tired of being on the weight loss treadmill with many different programs with varying results. Our weight loss programs incorporate a combination of the latest research in nutrition, behavior modification and medication treatment to provide a much higher degree of success than can be obtained with any single approach.
We also emphasize the importance of treating obesity as a long term problem just like high blood pressure or diabetes. Obesity, like these conditions, requires the development and continuous adjustment of a life-long program.
While most physicians have little training in nutrition and the treatment of obesity, bariatricians have specialty training in these areas in order to provide the highest level of quality of care for overweight patients.
Our medical team is composed of myself (a bariatric physician), a registered dietician, and a nurse.
For more specific information, see our Services page.
Our office is located in the same building as Holmes Family Medicine at 151 Parkview Drive, across from the Holmes County library.

I love Rachael Ray from her cookbooks to cookware the woman is my absolute favorite female culinay star. I have Rach's pots, casserole sets and along with the other counter top supplies Rachael Ray sells on QVC. Today I'm here to rave to you about Rachael Ray's Rigatoni Carbonara, it's delicious and calls for a few cheap ingredients: bacon, egg yolks and rigatoni. My husband loved this dish and together we ate the whole pot! You know me I'm always posting my top secret dishes but I had to share with you this winning dish- it's great for entertaining just toss some shrimp in or leave as is and serve with a nice glass of pinot grigio and enjoy life's simple pleasure tonight!
1 pound rigatoni
1/3 pound pancetta, cured Italian meat, available at deli counter, chopped
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan)
4 or 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, a few pinches, crushed in palm of hand
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons (about 2 palmfuls) grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more, for sprinkling
A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
A few grinds black pepper
Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
While pasta cooks, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine or stock to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.
Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water. Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.
Drain pasta. Add pasta to pan with sauce. Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.
