President Lyndon B. Johnson had failed to persuade Congress to pass a civil rights bill in 1966 with a fair housing provision. Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and amidst the riots in the wake of his assassination, Congress passed civil rights legislation, which included Title VIII that banned discrimination in the sale and rental of 80 percent of housing. The bill also contained anti-riot provisions and protected persons exercising specific rights—such as attending school or serving on a jury—as well as it protected civil rights workers urging others to exercise these rights. The bill included the Indian Bill of Rights, which extended constitutional protections to Native Americans not covered by the Bill of Rights. Upon signing the bill into law, President Johnson delivered remarks to Congress and the nation on the progress made: I shall never forget that it was more than 100 years ago when Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation—but it was a proclamation; it was not a fact. In the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we affirmed through law that men equal under God are also equal when they seek a job, when they go to get a meal in a restaurant, or when they seek lodging for the night in any State in the Union… In the Civil Rights Act of 1965, we affirmed through law for every citizen in this land the most basic right of democracy—the right of a citizen to vote in an election in his country. In the five States where the Act had its greater impact, Negro voter registration has already more than doubled. Now, with this bill, the voice of justice speaks again. It proclaims that fair housing for all—all human beings who live in this country—is now a part of the American way of life. LBJ also addressed Dr. King's assassination and the riots, urging an end to violence and redress through the process of law: We all know that the roots of injustice run deep. But violence cannot redress a solitary wrong, or remedy a single unfairness. Of course, all America is outraged at the assassination of an outstanding Negro leader who was at that meeting that afternoon in the White House in 1966. And America is also outraged at the looting and the burning that defiles our democracy. We just must put our shoulders together and put a stop to both. The time is here. Action must be now. LBJ concluded by calling on Congress to go further and enact measures for social justice that he recommended in some twenty messages sent to Congress in January and February of that year that would provide more than $78 billion to enact major domestic programs for all Americans.

It is turn of the century in Belle Epoque Paris and a scandalous romp is underfoot. The sensational tale begins as the ravishing Lea contemplates retirement from her renowned stature as Paris' most envied seductress to the rich and famous. Her plans are cut short when she is approached by a former courtesan and arch rival, the barb-throwing gossip Charlotte Peloux, who encourages Lea to teach her disaffected 19-year-old son -- a bon vivant nicknamed "Cheri" -- a thing or two about women. The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex, money, age and society -- and, unexpectedly, love itself -- as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
According to a new study recently reported on a segment on CBS News, the best way to stay thin is exercising and eating a healthy diet full of chocolate.
The study found that people who frequently ate chocolate had a lower body mass index (BMI) than people who didn't.
The study, published in the March 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers examined more than 1,000 healthy men and women who were free of heart disease, diabetes and cholesterol problems. They were all enrolled in another study that measured the effects of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, but for this study researchers assigned them questionnaires that gauged how often participants indulged in chocolate.
The researchers found that the participants with an average age of 57 and ate chocolate on average twice per week and exercised roughly 3.5 times per week had an average BMI, while more frequent chocolate-eaters had smaller BMIs, a ratio of height and weight that's used to measure obesity.
Even though chocolate can be loaded with calories from fat, it's full of antioxidants and other ingredients that may promote weight loss, the researchers discovered.
"I was pretty happy with this news myself," study author Dr. Beatrice Golomb, associate professor of medicine at the University of California-San Diego, claimed that "Findings show the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining ultimate weight. Our findings – that more frequent chocolate intake is linked to lower BMI is intriguing," the authors wrote. However, "It is not a siren call to go out and eat 20 pounds of chocolate a day."
This isn't the first study to suggest a daily dose of chocolate can do the body good. Last summer, a study of more than 100,000 people found those who ate the most chocolate were 39 percent less likely to get heart disease and 29 percent less likely to have a stroke. Months later a 10-year study of 33,000 women found a 30 percent reduced risk of stroke among chocoholics.
However experts warn not all chocolate is created equal, and some could contain lots of sugar and calories, which could lead to other health issues if consumed to excess. "I would not want people reading this to think that all [they] need to do to lose weight is eat more chocolate," Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Conn., said, "That would be a huge mistake." Katz suggests dark chocolate, because of its bitter flavor, may suppress appetite whereas sweet chocolate may stimulate it.
Choclatique Q-91 is our super-dark, bittersweet, premium chocolate high in cacao mass and rich in flavanols and antioxidants. One of the most pleasant effects of eating Q-91 chocolate is the "euphoric feeling" that many people experience after indulging.
As noted above recent medical research has linked the antioxidants found in cacao—the fruit from which chocolate is made—to decreases in blood pressure and reductions of "bad" cholesterol levels. Chocolate is a known stimulant and is also thought to be an aphrodisiac. Q-91 is low in sugar and rich in flavanols which many physicians and nutritionists say are beneficial to your health.

Vyborg (vĭˈbərk) [key], Finnish Viipuri, Swed. Viborg, city (1989 pop. 81,000), NW European Russia, NW of St. Petersburg and near the Finnish border, on Vyborg Bay and the Gulf of Finland. A Baltic port and railroad junction, it is an export center for lumber and the terminus for a natural-gas pipeline to Germany. It also has shipyards and industries producing farm machinery, electrical equipment, furniture, and paper. In the city are a castle (c.1300), a tower (1550), several towers of the town hall (15th–17th cent.), and a fort (18th cent.).
Vyborg was a trading point for Novgorod in the 12th cent. but actually grew around a Swedish castle built there in 1293. Vyborg became a port for the Hanseatic League and was chartered in the 15th cent. In 1710 Peter the Great seized Vyborg, and it was incorporated with Finland (then under Russian sovereignty) in 1812. Before 1917, it was a key transit point for revolutionary literature, arms, and agitators going into Russia. Vyborg remained Finnish until 1940, when it was occupied by the Soviet Union. It was recaptured by Finnish forces in 1941 and was finally seized by the Soviets in 1944 and awarded to them by the Finnish-Soviet peace treaty (1947).

The Priciest Condos in Hollandale and Hollywood Florida
By Sunny Isles Real Estate Expert on October 28th, 2012
The new Hallandale Condos and Hollywood Florida Condos
have reputations as luxury real estate markets and, they more than live up to that reputation. The prices of some condominiums reflect this market more than others do and, to illustrate that, here are the 10 highest prices for condominium resales that went through between April 2012 and June 2012.
According to data, the priciest condominiums were as follows. With the exception of 2 units, denoted by asterisks, they were all located in the Hollywood Beach area. The other sales were both in the Hallandale Beach area. The sales are listed from least to most expensive.
· Beach Club I Hallandale 3-bedroom unit for $900,000*
· Diplomat Residences 3-bedroom for $950,000
· Beach Club II Hallandale 3-bedroom for $955,000*
· Villas of Positano 2-bedroom for $1,000,000
· Ocean Palms 3-bedroom for $1,025,000
· Diplomat Ocean Residences 2-bedroom for $1,060,000
· Diplomat Oceanfront Residences 3-bedroom for $1,383,000
· Trump Hollywood 3-bedroom for $1,800,000
· Diplomat Oceanfront Residences 3-bedroom for $1,800,000
· Villas of Positano 3-bedroom for $2,035,000
The prices of these condominiums has actually gone down on the average compared to what they were originally listed for, but the prices are obviously still well into the luxury range and make them interesting to investors.
Despite the impressive prices for these properties, they were all offered at a discount compared to their original asking prices. The #1 spot, in fact, at Villas of Position came at an 18% discount compared to the original asking price. Even at the luxury end of the real estate spectrum—the most luxury end—it is still a buyer's market in many regards.
Sales in the areas listed and for south Florida on the whole remain steady. While there is some nervousness in the market overall, the real estate market does seem to be well on its way to a recovery. In addition to these pricey condominiums, there have been quite a few investors making their ways back into Florida's real estate market and they have been eager to acquire properties. A combination of international factors and low interest rates has contributed to this.
Luxury Properties in South Florida
Many of south Florida's more desirable properties are luxury condominiums and this hasn't been lost on investors. There are numerous projects in the works at present and, though some may have written off the south Florida real estate market only some years ago, it's become an attractive place to invest—and live—again.
All of these prices came with discounts, which is important if you're looking for a new home and you want to make sure you get a good deal. Even at this level of luxury, there is room to negotiate prices and prices may actually be reduced on their own compared to the original offer. If you're in the market for luxury property, remember that the price you see advertised may well be subject to change with a bit of negotiation or with a bit more time on the market and that can make even very expensive condominiums attractive buys, indeed.

APUATIMI, Jean Baptiste
I am a painter. My husband Declan Karrilikiya Apuatimi taught me how to paint. I love my painting, I love doing it. The designs are the ones he taught me. He said, 'One day you will be an artist. You will take my place. You do this painting when I die, to support the kids that I gave you.' He gave me this work to do to support my family. Now I am doing that. Painting makes me alive.1
I work with my friends at Tiwi Design. That's where we paint, men and women, those who I love. We are all artists, me and my friends. We all work the same. We share food. I love them and they love me. We paint jilamara (body painting designs) … I also paint ceremony … tutini (cemetery pole), old tunga (bark basket), pamijini (arm band), japarrunga (double-forked digging stick for kulama yam) and that's what my husband taught me to paint.

By KATHLEEN CONOVERSpecial to the Progress
Our family, Paul, Kathleen, Heather and Ashley, went on a handcart trip with the Ferron Stake, starting Aug. 13. We were like the pioneers of the Martin and Willy handcart companies. We went where they went.
We prepared first by filling a five gallon bucket with a padded lid,so we could sit down on something comfortable. In the bucket went first aid things, like moleskin and bandages, extra clothing, gloves, sunglasses, umbrella, warm hat, wash cloths, anything that we would need on the trek.It was our suitcase.We also filled a duffle bag with a sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight and coat. We took a long time to get all the things in that we wanted to take. We took our buckets and duffle bags to our Ma and Pa of the trek to take with them.
We would meet up with them at Independence Rock. We planned first to go to Nauvoo before the trek. The Ferron Stake trekkers started out around 5 a.m. at the Ferron Stake Building, with a small program and then left on two buses, with pioneer clothes on. Our family drove to Independence Rock about one hour before everyone from the trek, so we walked around this huge rock, reading signatures of the pioneers. We climbed up into a cave and read some more signatures of the pioneers, then climbed on top. We walked awhile on top and soon noticed some people, with pioneer clothes on, bringing speakers and other things. We knew these people were going to have a program on top of this rock. As we got closer, we could tell it was our people from Ferron Stake!! We met them just right. We sat down on a bumpy rock, and enjoyed a heart-warming program with stories and songs. It was an outstanding program. We climbed down and checked out Independence Rock some more. Independence Rock is so named because the pioneers came there near the 4th of July.Each family, made up of about 10 to 14 people were given two handcarts. We put our buckets in the carts. Our duffle bags were in the truck and given to us later that night. The food was hauled in trucks, also. With our handcarts, we headed for our campsite, about three and a half miles away. We were having a great time, pulling and pushing, when we stopped and were told that the men were needed to fight a war with Mexico(simulated), and would be known as the Mormon Battalion. The men left. All of them! Our cart was left with me,(old) and Ma,(Flory Jenkins) and a cute little teenager. OK, we can do this, easy.It was in sand, deep sand, with hills, then down a little, up a big hill.
It was very hard to pull and push that handcart in that sand. It was hot! Very hot.I felt like I wanted to leave my breakfast somewhere, and my head hurt. We stopped to revive a lot and for drinks...in and on us. We could see the men way across the valley. We could hear them singing! We kept thinking that any moment they would return---not so. We pushed and pulled that cart through that sand, just like the Martin handcart company did, only they had a blizzard and were starving and had no coats. Brigham Young didn't know they were coming until about this time, so he didn't know to have food and supplies for them at different points along the trail as he did for other handcart companies. When the men of the battalion came back, it was such a welcome sight. They took right over and had a nice hill right off, to climb, in sand.After we got to the camp grounds, we set up all the tents. Those teenagers were amazing. Very nice and very helpful. We put our sleeping bags out, some were bag to bag, and set our buckets out. There was a call that the Pony Express was here, and to go and get our mail. Sure enough, there was a bag full of mail for us. Next thing they wanted us to do was dance! We did round dancing. I could hardly walk. It got very dark, and they called us to dinner. We had a brief message from Porter Rockwell, scripture reading and were off to our lovely sleeping bags.
The next morning our family fixed breakfast for the whole camp. Eggs with small pieces of ham, fried potatoes, and hot chocolate and juice.The ham gave enough salt flavor to the eggs so they were good. No one could find the salt. Our family cleaned up and we were off to Pioneer Games. Putting a stick through a ring, hopscotch, jump rope , Poi Poi's , arm and leg wrestling, "Wink", Horseshoes with bean bags...and more. They were really fun. We then walked to Martin's Cove. It was about five miles in and out. The pioneers tried to get out of the fierce blizzard here, where it was calmer against the mountain. It was 11 degrees below zero, for them.On the way, we made a stop and President Yost talked with the youth and blessed them for these last days with their struggles against Satan. Then we walked into Martin's Cove, boys without hats, and single file, because of the sacredness of the area. The missionaries gave a short message here, then Ashley and Lee Tennant gave a short program. Ashley was the daughter, Lee the dad. He had died, and she was so sorrowful. She talked to him, saying how she would miss him and gave a beautiful song about the situation. It was very sad and touching.As we walked out we could see a little valley the pioneers used for a cemetery. We walked and walked and walked back to where the buses were, and ate under trees. The lunch was prepared earlier by another family.We walked a little ways to a building and we were given a message by the missionaries about the Martin Handcart Company and a short video. We loaded the buses, and went to Split Rock overview. The pioneers would head towards this rock to go the right way . "Ephraim Hanks" talked to us there. We left here and went to Flag Ranch. We tried and tried to set up camp. The wind was so strong and wild we could hardly put our tent on the ground to put the stakes in.Some boys from another family came and helped us. All the teenagers were so giving and helpful, even without being asked.
On the last day of the trek I woke up, got out of that yummy sleeping bag and found that I could walk, with absolutely no pain. I thought I would be stiff and not be able to walk again for weeks. No! I was walking without a bit of problem. We were ask to walk to a place where there were benches, at Rock Creek Hollow. We were given papers to fill out, and be by ourselves. On the paper were questions . They were good questions. We answered them. They were very personal answers. We didn't need to show anyone. These questions got us in the mood for a Testimony Meeting they wanted to have next. The testimonies were wonderful.We visited the gravesites of several pioneers, then went back to camp and had breakfast of ham, french toast, and juice. By this time the wind had really kicked up and it was a very dirty piece of ham and french toast. A family made lunches while the breakfast was being made and eaten. We packed up, tried to find everything and loaded buses. The whole experience was something I'm so glad I did. The programs, the experiences, the walk, the push and pull. I 'm glad I didn't miss this!

Not Crackalackin!
"This boot is very cute and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the quality isn't. After receiving two separate pair, I decided to keep them because they are just too cute to return. The quality of the poor is just not very good. But for what I paid for them, I am keeping them. I do not recommend buying them, unless you get them for $25 or less."

Great boots!
"These boots are very cool. They have a very edgy look without being too young. They are a little snug to get on since there is no zipper, but I think with time this will ease up. The heel is a little high but the sturdy sole makes them more wearable for everyday."

Hot Boot!
"The boot runs a little narrow and short. I returned it and had to get black ones in 1/2 size larger. fits okay not too comfortable. I have a high instep and so I need shoes that allow my foot to slide in, comfortably without stepping on the back and ruining it. would have been nice to have a zipper in the middle."

Christopher and Molly were in the same class at Ridge Peak Elementary, in a small town outside of Chicago, Ill. They also lived right next to each other. Molly had a lot of friends and her family was pretty well off, you couldn't say the same for Christopher. They always had a curiosity for each other, but most of the time they were both pretty quiet children. Maybe that's why they had this connection. Christopher loved the Chicago Bears and Molly loved all animals equally. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she got older. Christopher lacked self worth and didn't think it was appropriate to dream, because he never got what he wanted.
It was nearing the end of December and all the kids were going bananas because they knew Santa Claus would be making a trip to their house in less than a week. The whole week in school they had been making all types of different Christmas crafts; anything from decorating light bulbs to look like reindeer to making a Santa and a Snowman out of material then stuffing them with cotton balls. The spirit of Christmas was especially high in their third grade classroom today because they were going to the local library to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. At 10 a.m. Mrs. Vaughn told the children to bundle up because it was time to go sit on Santa's lap.
Mrs. Vaughn made sure all the kids held hands tightly while they were walking on the sidewalk, they always would stay in a tight little chain. Something like one of those paper chains, but this one was full of colorful children. Christopher enjoyed this less than the other kids, because it made him feel uncomfortable to hold hands with a stranger. He didn't particularly mind today though, because he was about to go see the man in the red suit, with the funny hat on his head, the man with the big belly. All Chris could think about was the joyous present that he was going to ask for.
A puppy is what he wanted for Christmas; he thought Santa would have to answer his prayers this year. Christopher figured since there were so many extras in the world, that Santa would certainly be able to get his hands on one. Molly was looking for something of the exact same but instead she wanted a kitty. A pretty white kitty that had a fluffy tail, she was going to make sure not to leave out that part, when she told Santa the specifics.
The other interests in the childrens minds were all the pretty Christmas lights and decorations that they seen along the way. There wasn't a bare light post for miles. Garland covered every inch of the green painted metal, plus red bows every five inches. Then at the top of the posts hung all sorts of signs: Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, snowmen, wooden toys, and magnificent Christmas trees. Everyone was filled to the brim with thoughts of presents and Christmas cheer. After walking three blocks they then arrived at the city library.
The walk seemed like an instant to the children, because they were all in some kind of holiday euphoria. There wasn't a sad bone in anyone's body, except the nervous twitch inside of Chris. He becomes worried every year around this time knowing that his chances of getting what he wants aren't very good; it has happened many times for this youngster already. Christopher and Molly stood at the back of the line with a few of their classmates between them. They are waiting patiently to see the man of the year. After all the other kids in front of them had gotten their brown bags full of treats, it is Chris' turn to sit on Santa's lap. He gets up there and immediately says I want a puppy with floppy ears. Santa says, "You got it son, a hound dog it is." The whole library had heard what Christopher wanted for Christmas.
Chris kept that smile on all day, of course he had been telling his parents that he wanted this dog for almost two months now.
He kept saying, I want the Huckleberry Hound dog that I see on TV. Please. Please. Please. I want that one.
The parents would just look at him with a little smirk on their face. The whole family just seemed emotionally detached. It was probably that his father was always failing to meet his quota or maybe the cigarettes that Chris' mother always had in her mouth. She always felt like she had it so rough. Always looking for someone to pity her.
Chris goes to bed that night more excited than he has ever been, just dreaming of the hound dogs that he has seen in the neighborhood. Waiting to be a proud owner of one himself. Then as soon as he gets done day dreaming he falls quickly to sleep. Chris wakes up so excited that he rushes down the stairs without even thinking of what else to do. What else do children do? But to his disappointment he only sees the same four presents that were under the tree when he went to bed. He thinks that Santa Claus didn't come this year either. His parents come down and ask Chris if he would like to open his presents now. He says, he would love to and his mother gives him the one with his name on it. He opens it to find an Etch a Sketch. He smiles and then sits down with his new toy.
Later that day, Christopher was playing outside with his new toy, when Molly had come out to let her new kitty use the bathroom. Molly had looked over at Christopher and could see the sadness in his face. She hurriedly grabs her new pet and rushes back inside. Molly begins to tell her mother about what Chris had wanted for Christmas and could see clearly that he did not receive the dog. Molly wants to do something about it, so her mother also feels compelled that she needs to make this child's Christmas better. They rush into the car and drive into Chicago.
They find the Animal Shelter that they had been to so many times before and go into the section where they house the dogs. Molly and her mother look down every row searching for a dog with the floppy ears that Christopher had talked about. They come to the last row of kennels and hear this yelp that catches their attention. Molly screams out, that this is the one that he wants. It was a Blue Tick Beagle and she knew that they would be taking this one home to give to Chris. They tell the worker that they want this one and that it is for a friend. As they are leaving the employee gives them a red bow to put around the puppy that was only eight weeks old. Molly is so excited, and holds it in her lap all the way home.
They get to the house and Molly's mother tells her to go knock on the door while she waits here and watches. Molly runs over to the door with the puppy in hand, she knocks on the door and Chris opens it with his Etch a Sketch in hand. He gasps and couldn't believe his bright blue eyes. It was the dog that he wanted for Christmas. Molly says that Santa was keeping the dog over at their house for the time being so it would be a big surprise. Christopher was jumping with joy at the sight of this hound dog that Santa Claus had brought him. Molly hands the dog off to Chris and he starts rubbing its ears.
Christopher says, "His name is Blue. I will call him Blue." He says thank you to Molly and that this is exactly what he had asked for. It is safe to say that this is the best Christmas that Chris ever had.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Thrush is a common infection in the mouth of newborns that is caused by a yeast-like organism called Candida albicans. Thrush commonly shows up about 7 to 10 days after birth, and many experts believe that babies get it from their mothers during birth because the organism usually lives in the vagina.
Thrush appears as white spots that look like milk curd and often occurs in areas of the mouth that are cracked from too much sucking (particularly in babies who sleep with a pacifier) and in babies who have recently taken antibiotics. The white spots of thrush may be mistaken for residual milk; however, thrush is not easily scraped off and the spots may bleed when scraped. If the thrush makes your baby's mouth sore and feeding difficult, restrict pacifier use as much as possible and use a cup and spoon to feed her if necessary.
Thrush can be transferred from baby to the mother's breast, and back to baby, which can result in chronic thrush for both. A yeast infection of the nipples can be very painful, causing cracking, redness, burning or itching, and/or flaky, dry skin, and can occasionally spread to the inside of the breast and infect the milk ducts, causing severe shooting pains in the breast during or after breastfeeding.
Mild cases of thrush usually clear up on their own; however, your baby may need a prescription anti-fungal medicine, such as nystatin, so you should call your pediatrician at the first sign of infection. The medicine needs to remain on the rash as long as possible before it is swallowed, so paint it directly on the affected area and don't give your baby anything to eat or drink for at least half an hour afterwards. Because this type of yeast is present in the gastrointestinal tract, your baby may also have a rash on her bottom at the same time as the thrush, for which your pediatrician will probably prescribe a topical nystatin cream or ointment.
To prevent re-infection, wash all bottles, nipples, and pacifiers with hot, soapy water, and then boil them to eliminate yeast from the cracks and crevices. If the yeast is very stubborn and chronic thrush develops, try washing your laundry, dishes, and baby items in water above 122 degrees F, which is hot enough to kill the yeast. Also try microwaving your undergarments and for 5 minutes on high (be sure your bra doesn't contain any metal pieces), or hanging them in the sun (sun kills yeast). White vinegar added to baths or the laundry can also help kill the yeast.
Call your pediatrician if your child refuses to drink, the thrush gets worse during treatment, or it lasts longer than 10 days.
