Brief Summary | The purpose of this study is to determine whether a local anesthetic drug (lidocaine) given during anesthesia intravenously (IV) through a needle in your vein,), can:
Detailed Description | Pain after breast surgery is usually treated with narcotics; however, these are associated with a high incidence of side effects such as itching, nausea and vomiting, constipation, urinary retention and dizziness. Another modality for pain control is regional anesthesia; thoracic paravertebral blocks [TPVB] using local anesthetics are particularly appealing for breast surgery. They provide good pain control, possibly blunting surgical stress response, and decrease the need for anesthetic agent. However, TPVB are not widely used, and the inherent risk associated with their placement, such as pneumothorax, nerve injury, bleeding and infection, makes them less appealing to patients. From a pain management point of view, paravertebral blocks may be the optimal approach for reducing pain and opiate consumption after breast cancer surgery. In addition, retrospective data suggest a reduction in cancer recurrence if this technique is used. Unfortunately, this effective technique is not widely performed because of the risk of pneumothorax and is only used in some centers. Our intent is to study an alternative approach with fewer risks. In this study, we will test the ability of intravenous lidocaine to provide pain relief after breast surgery. We base our hypothesis on a number of previous trials showing significant benefits of intravenous local anesthetics in the setting of abdominal surgery1-4. Approximately 30 to 50% of patients will develop chronic pain following mastectomy5,6. It has been suggested that adequately treating pain in the immediate perioperative period will prevent chronic pain. Specifically, application of EMLA (local anesthetic) cream perioperatively during breast surgery has been shown to reduce the incidence of chronic pain development7. Perioperative administration of intravenous lidocaine may offer similar benefits. Therefore, we will study the incidence of chronic pain in our population after 6 months. Finally, anesthetic choice during primary surgical intervention for cancer may affect recurrence and metastasis. A recent retrospective study suggests a profound reduction in recurrence in breast cancer patients receiving regional + general anesthesia as compared with general alone9. Similar data have been published in abstract form regarding recurrence after prostate surgery10. Also, Christopherson et al studied the long-term survival of 177 patients after resection of colon cancer in a trial of general anesthesia with and without epidural anesthesia and analgesia supplementation for resection of colon cancer. Epidural supplementation was associated with enhanced survival among patients without metastases before 1.46 years8. Although the mechanisms of this beneficial effect are unclear, attenuation of the surgical stress response, modulation of the inflammatory system, and/or decreased requirement for volatile anesthetics and opiates by regional anesthesia are possible mechanisms11. For example, the neural inputs activated during surgical stress may result in activation of promalignant pathways. Morphine has been shown to promote angiogenesis in a model of breast cancer, a key step in tumor development12. In addition, opiates interfere with natural killer cell function13. It is conceivable that the beneficial effect on recurrence might derive from low systemic level of local anesthetics attained during regional anesthesia. A number of studies have demonstrated significant reduction in opiate requirements and a decrease in the magnitude of stress response when local anesthetics are used intravenously1,3,4. If so, systemic administration would be a safer and a simpler way to reach the same goal. We therefore will compare the effect of local anesthetics given intravenously as compared with placebo on cancer recurrence rate. |

The ESPN broadcaster is ready to return to "SportsCenter" more than a month after suffering serious burns in a propane grill accident. Storm, who last appeared on "SportsCenter"on Dec. 10, plans to work Sunday morning's show from the ESPN set in Bristol, Conn. She has been on the air once since then, co-hosting ABC's telecast of the Rose Parade on Jan. 1.
The 32-year-old MLS veteran retired as a player to join the Galaxy's coaching staff. Noonan appeared in 10 games last season with the Galaxy, his fifth MLS team in the past decade. His teams reached the MLS Cup five times, winning titles with Columbus in 2008 and again with the Galaxy last fall.

From the internationally best-selling author of the Harry Hole novels comes this short, lyrical tale of a man on the run from a crime lord's deadly retribution, lost far beyond the Arctic Circle, where the sun remains in the sky for months on end.
A wayward hitman, mourning a recent loss, arrives in a tiny town on Norway's far northeastern border. He calls himself Ulf and gives a halfhearted excuse for his presence, but the locals, who seem as if out of a folk story from a previous century, ask him few questions and supply him with food, shelter, and a gun.
In his previous life, Ulf worked as a fixer for The Fisherman, one of the cruelest drug kings in Oslo, a man whose reach spans the globe. After acting foolishly (but out of mercy and desperation), Ulf has now become the man his boss needs fixed. Can this strange town - and especially a curious, lonely boy with his taciturn mother - offer Ulf a chance at redemption while he awaits the arrival of those who would hunt him down?

worst narrator in the history of audiobooks
I don't know where to begin - the list is too long.
obviously one of Nesbo's losers, maybe an early story? marketed to us based on an assumption that fans of his better work will buy anything
anyone at all
A perfectly awful reader, given a lame, amateurish story to read. You must think we aren't paying attention.
- Jane M. Peirce
Boring and over-priced
I like Jo Nesbo and have listened to all his books but his one is 1) boring 2) too short for the money. Less than 6 hours but full priced - James Lee Burke and C.J. Box deliver better stories and longer enjoyment.
No, but will not pre-order in the future. Will wait for other review.
Slow paced, not bad but slow

Don't Shit Your Pants: A survival horror game
2010-07-04 13:24:06 by tazaryoot
I just finished playing Don't Shit Your Pants a survival horror (humor) game. I have to say although it was short it was definitely entertaining and a very good example of a creative idea being applied to an old medium. The style reminded me a lot of I wish I were the Moon. A creative idea created using 8bit art and containing multiple endings. In short it was a very well created game that should be played through, it won't take you too long but it's well worth it.

Strindberg as Dramatist
Strindberg and the Poetry of Myth
With the publication of two excellent books, the tortured Swedish dramatist is at last becoming the subject of thoughtful, comprehensive attention. Encouraged by Strindberg himself, who called his work an exorcistic "poem of desperation," previous critics (myself included) have been more inclined to describe his fascinating pathology than to admire his art, as if the plays were important largely as a chapter in a psychic biography. But if Strindberg is such an aberration, how do we explain his impact on modern drama, which now exceeds even that of his arch-rival, Henrik Ibsen? He was the cherished literary father of Sean O'Casey and Eugene O'Neill. He has stamped his imprint on Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee. And he is commonly identified as crucial to the development of modern expressionism and symbolism, an artist who helped to nurture Artaud's theories of cruelty, Genet's extravagant fantasies, the surrealism of Cocteau, indeed the whole of postmodern experimental theater.
Offering to explain why Strindberg, despite his acknowledged influence, has been misunderstood by critics and neglected by the stage, Professor Sprinchorn cites both the dramatist's own deceptive self-image and his capacity to irritate his contemporaries. Sprinchorn, a leading authority on Scandinavian drama and one of Strindberg's best translators, offers to remove the wildeyed portrait from Ibsen's wall ("I cannot write a line," Ibsen said, "without that madman staring at me with his mad eyes") and to substitute a picture of a cantankerous but shrewd outsider who stubbornly resisted assimilation by the Swedish literary establishment, who roasted his contemporaries in a series of eighty broadsides, and who confounded them further by supporting a workers' strike after a conservative victory at the polls—thus managing to transform the "sedate Swedish cultural scene into a beerhouse brawl." (The Swedish Academy retaliated by continually passing him over for the Nobel prize, a distinction also enjoyed by Tolstoy, to whom Strindberg issued a public apology on behalf of all his benighted countrymen.)
Strindberg's combative nature was, of course, evident enough from his plays and memoirs, which throughout his career caused him lawsuits, ostracism, even exile. Strindberg was born for trouble, and had no difficulty finding it since his childhood in the 1850s as the unwanted son of a once prosperous shipping merchant and a mother who had seen service in the household. He contracted three miserable marriages, beginning in his forties, and suffered indescribable tortures during his "inferno crisis" in the 1890s when, as he later claimed, he had delusions of being persecuted by a monstrous regiment of women.
But Sprinchorn believes that Strindberg misrepresented his own methods and experience, that far from being in the grip of his obsessions he was purposely experimenting with his life as he experimented with chemicals and literary forms. Sprinchorn asserts, for example, that Strindberg deliberately inoculated himself with madness (through sleeplessness, alcohol, and drugs) in order to analyze his guilt, and that he consciously wrecked…

BIOGRAPHY OF CARL KRAFT: Carl Kraft is a little known glass artist, whose paperweights are rather limited, of high quality, and a real find for collectors! He was a third generation glassblower; both his grandfather (in Sweden) and his father (in California) worked with glass their entire lives. At the age of five, Carl began to learn about glass from his father at his studio (the Kraft Glass Studio) in Bell Gardens, CA and eventually took over the studio from his father. In California, Carl primarily made high quality stemware that was sold throughout the country. In the late 1950s, the studio closed and he moved east and eventually settled in the Toledo, OH area where he was employed at the Owens-Illinois Technical Center of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. There he worked essentially as an experienced glass technician, developing glass formulas for different uses. At that time, he became friends with other glassblowers in the area, including Joe St.Clair and Dominik Labino among others, and he began to do more creative glasswork at his small home studio. In the mid-1970s he suffered a heart attack and had to retire from Owens-Illinois Glass, but a few years later he opened a small shop in Toledo, called the "Glass Apple", where he sold mainly his own handblown glass paperweights, vases, and some decorative stemware pieces. Carl Kraft loved glass and this is apparent in the quality of his work. He continued to work in his glass studio until his death in 1995 and according to his daughter (who now lives in Ocala, FL and from whom this information was obtained), glassblowing was his true love throughout his life; she feels this helped extend his life many years after he first became ill. All the Kraft paperweights we have for sale came from his estate.
The paperweights in this gallery represents the various types of pieces Carl Kraft made through out his life and many are really historical pieces. They all came from his own collection and according to his family, many are one-of-a-kind pieces. Please visit our other Kraft Art Glass Gallery to view his other works.

By Dr. Leila Marsha Peterson
A headache, like a fever or cold hands or feet is one of the many ways that your body is letting you know that something is wrong with it.
Let's imagine for a moment that your body is a house with a smoke detector. Upon sign of smoke it sounds an alarm giving you a chance to do something before you are engulfed in a full-blown fire.
Removing the batteries from a smoke detector because it alarms when what you are cooking starts to burn is like taking a pain reliever for your headache. It is similar to putting a band-aid on the headache and is not solving the cause of the problem. In time, the causes of the problem get worse and so does the headache.
Headaches may be a result of stress from a chemical, environmental, emotional or physical source or any combination thereof. For instance, headaches that may be due to hormonal fluctuations and changes could be checked out with a saliva test.
A shortage of oxygen or blood to the head, which can be due to poor vertebral alignment, could possibly be another reason and a visit to a chiropractor that had special training in Applied Kinesiology and Cranio-Sacral Therapy may be the answer to your prayers.
Another probable but unlikely cause that needs to be ruled out is a head tumor or any growth inside the head.
One very common reason for headache is tired eyes. "Exercising" your eye muscles by squeezing your eyelids tightly closed for a few seconds, or doing some quick, soft blinks every so often will help relax -stressed-out eyelids according to Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D. author of "Take Off Your Glasses And See". An annual check-up with your eye doctor would also be a wise thing to do.
Some of the possibilities that we need to explore are:
- When does the headache come?
- Does it coincide with your monthly menstrual cycle?
- Or is it always at a regular set time during the day or night?
- Do you need to wear dark glasses every time you go out in the sun or else your head would start throbbing?
- Could your jaw muscles be the cause of your headaches?
- Does eating certain foods like chocolate, red wine, citrus fruits, or monosodium glutamate (MSG) elicit your headache?
Pinpointing the location, character and duration of the headache could offer some insight to the organ system or emotion involved. To check if the jaw muscles are involved, put your little finger inside each ear. Now open and close your mouth slowly.
Next, observe or feel if your jaw (that ends by your ear) both open and closes at the same time, and do so without any clicking or popping sound. Myofascial release combined with polarity therapy might be able to release those tight muscles. It is also a good idea to have your dentist check your "bite" and while you're there, make sure that you do not have amalgam (mercury) fillings.
Did you know that the cells in your body could be in an acidic environment and that could be a playing a huge role in how you feel? Adding Green Plus from Alternative Care Products or alkaline ash producing foods and thoughts may help maintain alkalinity inside your body.
It is also helpful to know your saliva and urine ph. before and after a "threat" to your body. Gargling frequently with warm salt water and massaging your gums and tongue gently with fine sea salt using your fingertips would boost the circulation and change acidity in your mouth according to the Book of Wellbeing published by the Bulfinch Press. (I modify this tip a bit by combining Himalayan sea salt, Epsom salt, and baking soda with a twist of lemon.)
Sometimes, the very candles that we use for meditation and relaxation may trigger a headache. Therefore, it is advisable to use lead free wicks and candles that are made of either soy or bees wax only.
Dr. Cox, an occupational physician suggest that many people using mobile phones have symptoms which may include dizziness, disorientation, nausea, headaches, and transient confusion. These symptoms may be due to the unilateral stimulation of the portion of the nervous system that assists in balance and coordination.
The best thing to do is limit the use of your mobile phones to times of emergency. I can hear you laughing but this is not a joking matter. If you are like me who uses the mobile phone for convenience, then at least use a RF 4 headset and keep the actual phone as far from your head as possible.
Another factor to consider is if the sufferer is "rewarded" for the headache? For example, the "reward" could be any possibilities like being able to get out of a job or responsibility, or getting extra or special attention. Self-hypnosis or hypnotherapy with lights and sounds might be able to help create harmony from within and release the healing powers of the mind. Hypnotherapy is usually very beneficial in "rewarded" cases because it is known to encourage rather than compel change.
According to some metaphysical beliefs, suffering from a headache might indicate an inability to express or receive unconditional love and acceptance, or their opposite, which are hate, anger and rejection. However, Daniel R. Condron, author of Permanent Healing suggests that headaches or migraines could be that the sufferer is feeling pressured by factors that seem out of her control or that there is a pressure on one's self between "right" or "wrong".
Dr. Earl Mindell author of several nutritional and herb "bibles" recommends a cup of peppermint tea or feverfew to ward off a headache. Including digestive enzymes with your meals (if you need them) is often a surprisingly effective antidote for a headache. Squeezing the web between the thumb and the index finger with the thumb and index finger of the other hand to bring instant headache relief for some is an ancient acupressure maneuver.
Another way to ward off an incoming headache is to press the philtrum, (the indented area between the bottom of your nose and your up per lip) with the knuckle of your index finger tenderly and stop when you feel a sense of warmth, perspiration, or clamminess in any part of your body which means that you have "restarted" the energy flow in your body.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), headaches are one of the many conditions that have been shown through controlled trials to be treated effectively by acupuncture. Doing slow, deep-breathing exercises may help liberate the emotion, physical condition, or resistance associated with some tension headaches.
Therapeutic essential oils from Young Living like Idaho Tansy, Roman Chamomile may help enhance the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and oxygen infusion into the cell according to the Essential Oils Desk Reference as compiled by Essential Science Publishing. In the homeopathic world, headaches from over exposure to the sun may perhaps be helped with Belladonna, while headaches with constipation might be relieved with Bryonia.
There are anecdotal stories that assert that Energy Work like the Hawaiian Healing Technique or Reiki is excellent for migraine.
Remember that maintaining balance and restoring harmony to the body, mind and spirit is the main goal. There are a lot of gentle remedies and time-tested strategies that are available to you.
You are a unique individual. Your fingerprints are yours alone. Wouldn't it make sense to see someone who will treat you as such?
Dr. Peterson has incredible objective insights that are so on target that many have given her the name the "Oracle," (from the Matrix).
She can be reached at 815-229-7400 ext.17 for more information or you can email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additionally she mentions hypnosis as one great remedy for headache relief. If you would like to try this resource, the best program I have found and strongly recommend is very inexpensive and completely safe: Hypnosis For Headache Relief
Here is an example of what some patients are saying about Dr. Peterson
All I can say is "Wow" -- the healing you did on my migraine this morning was amazing. Once my migraine is past a 9 and on it's way to a 10, nothing stops it.
Even my medication can only stop it a percentage of the time and rarely after one pill. That you took a full blown migraine from a 9.5 to a 1 in about 15 minutes was unbelievable!! I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I hadn't experienced it myself. I honestly didn't know how I was going to make it through the day.
By the time I got to work, I was ready to go. I did have a couple periods of dizziness, but I rubbed my belly button like you had me do, and it went away within minutes each time. I can't thank you enough. I am in awe of your healing abilities.
Thank You -- Thank You --Thank You for healing my migraine today and for all that you are doing in my life through our sessions.

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0300117671, Hardcover)Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (17461828) spent the last four years of his life living in Bordeaux with other political émigrés from Spain and South America. In those years he created small-scale, intimate pieces, including uncommissioned portraits of friends and family, miniature paintings on ivory plaques, and numerous drawings and lithographs. These works attest to the artist's continuing vitality in his old age and also offer insight into his life in Bordeaux. This beautiful book presents fifty-one key works from Goya's late period along with two essays that illuminate his works of that time. Jonathan Brown retells the story of Goya's difficult years in exile when he nevertheless continued to make art, experimenting with the new medium of lithography, inventing a technique of miniature painting on ivory, and painting remarkable portraits of friends and supporters. Susan Grace Galassi describes the rich historical and cultural milieu of Bordeaux and establishes a biographical context and sense of place that underscore the triumph of Goya's final achievement.

Safeguards vary in hard times for job benefits. Once you have read the article you can see how frail employee rights are.
Eileen Ambrose, Baltimore Sun
Sunday, December 28, 2008
Is your 401(k) secure if your employer has a cash flow problem? Can the company's creditors make a claim on your pension fund? What happens to health insurance if the company goes out of business?
Employees have some protections, even if their employer files for bankruptcy. Here's a rundown:
401(k): Rest assured, 401(k) money is held within a trust and your employer can't dip into it. And an employer's creditors also can't stake a claim against the 401(k), or a traditional pension, either.
But there is some room for hanky-panky.
Your employer is supposed to turn your contributions over to the trust as quickly as administratively possible, and anything longer than seven business days is usually frowned upon by the U.S. Department of Labor, says Rick Meigs, president of 401(k)Helpcenter.com.
When cash-strapped employers don't forward workers' contributions to the plan, it is often because they are using the money to run the business or make payroll, Meigs says. The Labor Department will go after employers for doing this.
Check your quarterly statement or account online to make sure your contribution is deposited in the plan. If it isn't, contact regulators at (866) 444-3272.
Bradford Campbell, assistant secretary of labor for employee benefits, says that such cases are more numerous in hard economic times, but they are still uncommon. Out of nearly half a million 401(k)s, his office investigated about 1,000 such incidents last year and recovered $25 million.
Rules for when an employer makes its matching contribution are different. The match often goes into the plan along with workers' contributions.
But companies can make their match in a lump sum after filing taxes for the year, says Robert Christenson, a benefits lawyer in Atlanta. With filing extensions, 2008 matching contributions can be made well into 2009, he says.
On top of that, employer contributions are often discretionary, allowing the company to suspend the match when times are tough.
But the biggest risk in times like these is your 401(k) investments. And there's no protection against losses when markets fall.
Traditional pension: "It's probably the safest of all," Christenson says. "Unlike a 401(k), the investment risk is on the company."
But pension promises can be broken.
While any pension benefits you've accrued to date are protected, an employer can change the plan formula going forward, says Barbara Schlaff, a Baltimore benefits lawyer.
Many employers also have frozen costly pension plans, Schlaff says. Some exclude new hires from a plan, while others won't allow workers to accrue additional benefits after the freeze sets in, she says.
A company can terminate a pension. If it does, the employer must fully fund the plan. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. will take over a plan if an employer is in deep financial trouble, usually bankruptcy, and can't afford to fully fund a terminated plan.
For plans terminated next year, the maximum annual benefit will be $54,000 - up $2,250 from this year - for people retiring at 65. Your benefit will be less if you retire earlier.
Insurance: This benefit is less secure.
Companies usually reserve the right to terminate or reduce health benefits at any time.
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act generally enables you to continue coverage under an employer's plan if you're laid off, although you'll pay the full cost. But if your employer goes out of business, there is no COBRA coverage.
If a defunct employer had an affiliated company with insurance, you can get COBRA coverage through that, Christenson says. Or, if that's not an option, you could join a spouse's group plan without having to wait for open enrollment, says Amy Danise, editor of Insure.com.
Life insurance also is at risk. "If you're laid off, leaving a job, quit or terminated, group life doesn't go with you," Danise says.
Wages and severance: Sometimes severance is not an ironclad guarantee but merely a company practice or a perk that employers can change at will.
If your employer files for bankruptcy owing you money, though, you become a priority creditor. You can file a claim, with priority given to the first $10,950 in unpaid wages, vacation and severance.
If your benefits are part of a union contract, your employer can't eliminate them without negotiating with the union. That's true if the employer is in bankruptcy, too. But if talking doesn't work and the company can show the court that the union won't accept a reasonable proposal, the contract can be rejected.

Estate Sales....
I LOVE going to estate sales! We happened upon one this weekend in our neighborhood...it had been quite some time since I'd gone to one so I was a bit excited to see what there was...it was also a bit sad as I knew the couple who had lived there.
When we bought our house 11 years ago you would see them walking arm-in-arm through the neighborhood to get their daily exercise. I believe they were already in their 80s...He died 1st...she stopped taking her walks...then this fall she passed away. They had no children, nobody to clear out their house for them.
it made me think about the things I hang onto and cherish...what will others think of them when I am gone? The woman who lived there must have been quite a fashion plate in her day as we found fur hats and stoles in neatly labeled boxes as well as a box full of old hats....we couldn' t resist...many of them came home with us, along with some of her gloves...eily, leo & I spent the afternoon dressing up in her treasures...something a grandchild would have loved.
I hope she saw the happiness it brought us.

I recently just switched out my Hot Bars for a pair of the SADIO 420 Bars to test em' out and see how they feel. I've only been running them for less than a week, but I can already tell I'm going to like the extra rise, and length. Check out more below.With a 4.2″ rise, it raised my front end up a little bit, making it easier to pull up on the bike. I can definitely feel how solid they are with the added cross bar. They don't offer as much flex, compared to a 1 piece bar. But their rigidity, and added length give me more stability and leverage when I'm throwing 3′s. Personally, I can't get enough of that steazy gun metal grey, head over to The Grime, or iMiNUSD to pick up a pair.

do you think cutting an inch on each side is a good idea? i was using Holy Hatchet B.Mrkt before and its shorter.. the 420 for is kinda long and it hinders on my legs when doing a barspin.. just wanna know your opinion on this

PBA Labor Day Classic - Archived Standings
Hart Bowl, Dallas, Texas, Sep 3-6, 1965
Baca, Burton Hit Dallas
A new champion, a new world's record and two 300 games made the Labor Day Classic in Dallas, Tex. a memorable tournament. Sam Baca celebrated a new-born son (five days before the tournament started) by scoring a 10-pin verdict over Nelson Burton Jr. Burton got into the act by rolling a 300 game on his way to setting an unsanctioned world mark of 1539 for a six-game block. Jerry McCoy was the other 300 shooter. Baca's 9515 total for the 40 games included 550 bonus pins for an 11-5 record in the match game finals. Burton knocked down the most pins (9055 actual) but won only nine games in the finals. THE FINALS (40 GAMES)

NEW ORLEANS — The New Jersey Lottery says a ticket bought in New Jersey won the $338 million Powerball jackpot, setting that game's estimated jackpot back to $40 million for Wednesday's drawing.

President Obama Tries to Get Black People Fired Up – Again – With New Orleans Speech
For at least the last year, the black community has teetered and tottered on the topic of whether President Obama has done enough for the black community during his first term. The majority of blacks approve of Obama's performance, while some, such as Dr. Cornel West, believe that Obama has largely ignored poor people, a disproportionate number of which are black.
Then there is still a segment of the black electorate which has qualms with President Obama, but will vote for him because the alternative – Mitt Romney – is even more out of touch with the needs of the black voters than Obama.
Feeling the pressure, President Obama has begun his push for the black vote, and is campaigning at The Urban League, according to CNN:
President Barack Obama ends four days of travel Wednesday with a speech to the National Urban League that will seek to energize the African-American base for his re-election bid in November.
A new report by the group's policy institute warns that low turnout by African-American voters, who overwhelmingly supported Obama in 2008, could hurt his chances this time in the battleground states of Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio.
"African-American voters tipped the outcome of the 2008 presidential election in several key states, and are poised to do so again in 2012," said the report titled "The Hidden Swing Voters: Impact of African-Americans in 2012" by Madura Wijewardena and Valerie Wilson.
"How this will manifest will depend on many things, but one important factor will be whether the extraordinary growth in turnout by African-American voters in 2008 will be replicated in 2012," the report continued. "The 2008 voter turnout rate was driven by historic factors that may not necessarily apply in 2012."
According to Gallup, President Obama's approval rating stands at 89 percent among black voters. That's down from 95 percent in 2008.

Why should the Black community need firing up for the Presiident of the United States. What is the alternitive…Romney?
JIM CROW…thanks to Republican Governors throughout the nation is alive and well…thank you very much. They are doing their part to stop Blacks again from voting to ensure that the President is a "One Term" President and he we are helping their cause by questioning whether he has done enoug to earn our support.
Our elders fought for too many years to allow Blacks to vote and here we are today fighting amongst ourselves as to whether we should vote again for "The FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA .
It's time the Dr. Boyce to rally our people behind the President so that his second term will the most memorable in our history.
July 25, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Art I could not agree with you more. Looking at the agenda being pushed by Willard Mitt Romney and the Republicans black people will be greatly affected. The fact that we view voting as an afterthought is a problem we have to address. Why do we need to be fired up? People freaking died so that we could have the right to vote, and here we are in 2012 talking about we need to be fired up to go out and vote. Black people can again sit on our A–es and not vote. We will have no one but ourselves to blame for our lot in life!
July 25, 2012 at 11:37 pm
He did not TRY. He DID get his audience fired up, but that is not the point. The point is why does Boyce Watkins and other wannabees continue to cast snide sarcastic remarks about him toward people who should know better?
July 25, 2012 at 11:57 pm
Under this president, black unemployment and wealth is at unprecedented lows. Blacks automatically reject Romney or any republican without even looking at what he/she proposes to do for this country.
If you are entrenched in the unemployment ranks, would it make a difference if a republican or democrat could deliver you a job? Black interests and representation should be across all party lines. We are too attached at the hip to democrats and the liberal agenda in this country will one day send it to hell.
To vote for Obama, many blacks will compromise their values and religious convictions just to "feel more comfortable" when in actuality they are not "living so comfortably" now under Obama's neglect of our community's needs in favor of the LGBT agenda, illegal immigrants, socialism, etc. Additionally, he is just as much a liar (if not more so) than any of the other politicians that we like to denigrate and label as out of touch with the needs of black folks.
If President Obama was white, people like Sharpton and Jackson and your regular black person would be shouting racism, neglect, shameful and every other description of a president whose policies have not made a substantial difference in the black community.
But, because Obama is not, he gets a pass for adding "color" if not substance to the White House.
Obama has done a lot for this country. But not in the way that will uplift it morally. He has given a huge voice to LGBTs that will send us over a cliff into the bastions of hell on earth. Right now, they have so much power, they can tell us how to think and if we protest, they get their way through legislative proxy.
They can plan to stage "kiss ins" at Chick Fil A because the CEO refuses to support same-sex marriage. If they can do that to a large, venerable corporation, what can they do to silence individuals like you and I who dissent and dare express our right to free speech? Will our jobs/careers be sacrificed if we speak out publicly the way they seem to have been given carte blanch by the liberal, mainstream media? Skeptical: initiate a public protest and see who is left standing.
Give Obama another four years and you will find out. We don't have jobs (particulary our youth) and he has given de facto asylum to almost a million young illegal immigrants to stay and work in this country. Who will they be competing with for jobs? And, since some are skilled far above the level of farm worker or other so-called jobs that us Americans will not do, they will be working just about any place that will hire them with there new work permits.
Obama has done great moral and cultural damage to this country that we will be grappling with for decades to come. Our children will bear the brunt of trillions of debt, the undermining of traditional family values and an increasingly amorphous sexual landscape where any configuration will be tried, tested and possibly rubber-stampted by this administration and its cohorts.
I'll end with God Bless America while I can still utter it without condemnation and persecution. I guess it is okay for military personnel to march IN UNIFORM under the Gay Pride Banner or flag but the ACLU will sue anyone who dare displays a religious symbol and we wonder why we are in a moral quagmire in this country!!!!!
July 26, 2012 at 1:31 am
Jalen, PREACH!!!!!!!!!!! I will not caddymy vie again for the president and I agree wholeheartedly with the reasons listed in your post. and new the president wants to energize his base of Black support during election season? I just received my absentee ballot and I'll be writing in my vote for a different candidate other than this president. His response towards the Black community is appalling.
July 26, 2012 at 6:58 pm
jalen: Try to get a gripe on reality, dear. White folk don't care about you at all. A vote for Mitt Romney or any other white candidate is not in your best interest. I know your ancestors must have 'house slaves' but try to think of all those out there in the sweaty hot fields. Just because you get to stay inside with 'Massa' doesn't mean he gives a damn about you.
July 27, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Pudding, since THE BIRACIAL president loves his white side and was RAISED BY MASSA, your stupid post is absurd. He uses his black family to manipulate and appeal his black base, and he's no different than a republican with his lackluster support of his large black base. A vote to re elect the president is a vote to further undermine the black community.

Interesting point(s). Unfortunately the masses have proven their ability to resist and not be influenced by "reason or intellegence" once again. The mere fact that this conversation about a "politician" and where there interest lie/lay has to take place every four years is amazing??? If history has taught us anything its that people are willing to follow lock and step and risk life and limb for people who can tickle there ear with eloquent words! Continue to educate. But this isnt your forum, trust me. Those that truly hear you are not here! Be safe….

I am sorry for Republicans. I don't think there is alternative to President Obama on November 6. Obama will be re-elected. Look at electoral map. None of these so called GOP potential nominees are qualified for WH. They are all fake. Look at Romney – for ten years he shipped his money to create jobs in Switzerland and China. Romney left his fellow Americans dry – without jobs. Now he is telling us if elected he will bring back his money to be borrowed by American small business. Romney is a liar. Romney has refused to release his 10 years tax returns. He says if Republicans and Americans don't like it they can kiss his ass. Ann Romney called Americans as "you people". Ann does not care if she calls Americans "you people." She does not respect Americans. Romney is a Mormon who hates Blacks and other racial minorities. That's why you don't see Blacks or racial minorities at his rallies. Santorum wanted to be an "American catholic little pope". He was telling us how we should behave when sleeping at night. No sex till you're married. Santorum called us Blacks food loafers and expects Blacks to vote for him. We're not that dumb. Gingrich is a sinner, adulterer and corrupt. Even his kids say won't vote for their own father. How can Gingrich expect us to vote for him when his own family hates him? Ron Paul is cozy with KKK groups who are financing his campaign. We run out of GOP candidates eligible for the WH. Our only alternative is President Obama for the next 4 years.
July 26, 2012 at 3:02 am
It appears that the 'Anglo-elite' chose to place Obama into their coveted 'president' position for reasons they would never share with the general public! They share very little with the people they're screwing over. That being us, and anyone else without the power to protect themselves!
It doesn't matter who is sitting in the fake and superficial 'top position'. It's only real in our minds, and it's only real because the elite say it is. What is truly real is the way the elite ransack our nation and the nations around the world! The majority of those nations are filled with people of color! Notice how the European nations get to skate past all of the slaughtering and pillaging to live their lives filled with all sorts of special privileges. Again it doesn't matter who is sitting in the white house. The space between our ears are filled with lies. Our views and opinions are based on deceptive information and conspiracies we are told do not exist. What is wrong with this overall picture? The fact that so many have bought into nothing more than a web of elaborate nationwide cons! All the while we are being cheated and robbed of everything we as a nation should be sharing, not to mention the gross incarcerations, physical abuses, and murders! -
July 26, 2012 at 8:55 am
Art, Boyce has bought by Romney. Also, he is a self-hating Black man who spreads hate at any Black man who has any status. Don't forget that he said that President Obama will join other Black giants, i.e. Fredrick Douglass, MLK, Malcom X and others for their contributions. Since Boyce does not write history, that statement spoke more about him that the President. I am happy to see that Black people are aware of what he is trying to do. To Boyce, aka Judas Goat, it won't work this time!!!
July 26, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Blacks need to copy from Jews and Black Muslims. Put your work ethic ahead of your dancing shoes. Any man who waits for a president or the government to deliver him from poverty is not worth the glue on his food stamps.
July 26, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Dr. Boyce, the more I read your newsletters and blogs, the more I'm beginning not to like you. You come across as a person that throws rocks and hide your hands. ~Dr. Chambers
July 26, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I've seen on more than one occasion, on this site, Mitt Romney GOP advertisement. I now question your ethics.
July 26, 2012 at 7:04 pm
Yeah, does anyone thinks that it is just a coincidence that so many Romney and other ads for right-wing conservatives show up on this site?
Again, Boyce, we have taken a vote and we want your Negro card back !!
July 27, 2012 at 1:55 pm
There was nothing in the article that undermines Obama…
Stop all the whining…
July 27, 2012 at 1:56 pm
If you hate Boyce… STOP COMING HERE CRYING ABOUT HIM!
its simple…

Thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. And then came the peace, hard fought, sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes and a new era was born. But freedom has a cost. When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again. And so it was decreed, that each year, the various districts of Panem would offer up in tribute, one man and woman, to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice. The lone champion, bathed in riches, would serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness. This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future.
Cato Haadley[edit]
- [Holding Peeta hostage] Go on! Shoot, then we both go down and you win. Go on! I'm dead anyway! I always was, right? I didn't know that until now. [Readies to break Peeta's neck] How's that, is that what they want? Huh? I can still do this!... I can still do this. One more kill. It's the only thing I know how to do. Bringing pride to my district! Not that it matters.
- Caesar Flickerman: What did you say to your sister when you volunteered at the Reaping?
- Katniss Everdeen: I told her I would try to win. That I would try to win, for her.
- Flickerman: Of course you did. And try you will.
- Caesar Flickerman: So Peeta. Tell me. Is there a special girl back home?
- Peeta Mellark: No. No, not really.
- Flickerman: No? I don't believe it it for a second, look at that face! Handsome man like you! Peeta. Tell me.
- Peeta: Well, there, uh... There is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever.
- Flickerman: Well, I'll tell you what Peeta. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you get home- she'll have to go out with you!
- Peeta: Thanks, but I, uh. I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.
- Flickerman: And why not?
- Peeta: Because... she came here with me.
- Flickerman: [Dismayed] Well, that's bad luck.
- Peeta: Yeah....
- Flickerman: And I wish you all the best of luck. Peeta Mellark! District 12!
- Clove Kentwell: Where's lover boy? Oh I see. You were gonna help him right? Well that's sweet. It's too bad you couldn't help your little friend. That little girl, what was her name again? [Katniss struggles violently] Rue? Yeah, well we killed her. [She pulls a knife out of her jacket] And now we're going to kill you.[Thresh comes running, grabs Clove and pins her against the cornucopia]
- Thresh Morrowson: You kill her?
- Kentwell: No! NO! It wasn't me!
- Morrowson: I heard you!
- Kentwell: Cato! CATO!
- Cato Hadley: Clove! I'm coming!
- Morrowson: SAY HER NAME! [He bangs Clove against the Cornucopia multiple times, killing her. Thresh turns on Katniss, but stops.] Just this time, 12. For Rue.
- Katniss Everdeen: Thank you.
- [Both Thresh and Katniss flee the cornucopia, heading in separate directions.]
- Peeta Mellark: I just don't want them change me.
- Katniss Everdeen: How will they change you?
- Peeta Mellark: I don't know. Turn me into something I'm not. I just don't want to be another piece in their game, you know?
- Katniss Everdeen: You mean you won't kill anyone?
- Peeta Mellark: No... I mean, I'm sure I would just like anyone else when the time came but I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them, that they don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.
- Katniss Everdeen: Yeah... I just can't afford to think like that.
- Peeta Mellark: Yeah, I know.
- President Snow: Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.
- Seneca Crane: [confused] So...
- President Snow: So, contain it!
- Haymitch Abernathy: They aren't very happy with you.
- Katniss Everdeen: Why, because I didn't die?
- Abernathy: Because you showed them up.
- Everdeen: [Sarcastic] Well. I'm sorry it didn't go the way they'd planned; you know, I'm not very happy with them either-
- Abernathy: Katniss. This is serious. And not just for you. They don't take these things lightly.

- I'm trying to capture what was visceral in the books, which is your first-person present tense narrative, and that's gonna require a certain amount of subjectivity. In order to be in Katniss' point of view and in her shoes — what being in a character's point of view is, is restricting the information that the audience has to what that character has, and not being writer omniscient. I'm not cutting from place-to-place, I'm moving in this serpentine, destabilized path as Katniss wanders through this world. That's not only true in the shooting style, it's also true in the editing style. … This was a very conscious decision to create a very subjective style because the books are so subjective, they're first-person and they're urgent and you see the world as she sees the world, so that was the reason for it.

"Beautiful resort. Great prices. The food was fantastic. All 100 plates came out at the same time and all were hot and fresh. The planner is very helpful and did a great job setting up our room and getting all the details down. However, they were extremely over booked. We had one bartender for 100 people. She was not friendly to any of our guests. The beer they served our guests was flat and warm. Overall it was a good experience. Lake Lawn did make it right though. Seeing as how they just reopened a year ago, I can understand that they are still going through the trial and error process. I would recommend this venue."

"We Made It" is a promo single by rapper Busta Rhymes featuring American rock band Linkin Park. The song was to be on Busta Rhymes's eighth studio album Back on My B.S., but was then cancelled off the track list because the album was released on a different label as "We Made It" was Busta Rhymes's last song on Interscope. The song was produced by Cool & Dre, with additional production by Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson. The song was released on April 29, 2008. It was Busta Rhymes's final release on Aftermath Entertainment. The track debuted and peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at #65.[1]
Song information[edit]
Dre originally sang the hook, until Busta Rhymes listened to the beat and Linkin Park kept "popping up in his head". The song was first performed on May 2, 2008 during Busta's concert at Club Index in Germany. However, he was more or less introducing the song to them, as the studio version was played and Busta occasionally sang over the song, or lip synced to it while holding his microphone down. The first performance with Linkin Park was at their rehearsal studio Third Encore on May 25, 2008, to an audience of 14 members of the Linkin Park fan club who were brought there by surprise. During the Projekt Revolution 2008 tour the song's performance featured Adam Monroe of Ashes Divide on the keyboard and Spliff Star on backing vocals and was played during Linkin Park's set. During Busta Rhymes' concerts, where Linkin Park isn't present, the studio instrumental is played and Busta usually tells the audience to move their arms up and down during Mike Shinoda's verse.
The song appears on the soundtrack of Madden NFL 09 and it is used as the theme song for its coverage of the 2008 NBA Western Conference Finals. This marked the second time a Shinoda song was used during the NBA play-offs, the first being "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor. The song was also used in the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies home World Series game before the team took the field in Games 3, 4, and 5 and as part of a video reel of highlights for the team leading up to the World Series, with a road in the background as the team took their playoff run "on the road".
Upon watching Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential election victory, Busta began cheering and singing the chorus of "We Made It".[2]
Chamillionaire created his own version of the song called "The Real Thang" with a similar theme. The song is available on his Mixtape Messiah 4.
Music video[edit]
The music video premiered all day on BET on Tuesday, April 29, the same day as the video for its first single, "Don't Touch Me (Throw da Water on 'em)." The video also premiered for 24 hours only on Yahoo! Music on April 29. That same day, "We Made It" went to radio stations worldwide. The video also featured cameo appearances from Styles of Beyond, Bishop Lamont and Lamar Odom. Chris Robinson directed the video. * The warehouse in which the parts of the music video was filmed is the same location at which Linkin Park's Meteora album artwork and album cover were done. The video starts with the credits saying Busta Rhymes and Linkin Park and then the titles We Made It appear on the screen. Then you see Linkin Park walking through the warehouse and Busta Rhymes in a New York City flat. Then it cuts to scenes of people walking through the streets and people running a race through the rain.
This video also marks one of the first appearances of the Beats audio headphones.[3]
Inspiration for the song[edit]
Rhymes says that the inspiration for this song was from what happened to T.I. after the BET awards:
The record was inspired by the situation that transpired with T.I. right after the BET Hip-Hop Awards. My legal situations were current, and his legal situations were current, and Akon had his, you know, history of legal situations in the past ... We wanted people to — as bad as things might look for us sometimes — just know that it ain't over until you say it's over at the end of the day. 'Cause nobody can really dictate what the outcome of your destiny, what your life is going to end up becoming, unless you let it happen that way.[4]

Odyssey VS. Miami Walter • 5/27/2016
Miami. What a crazy place. The entire Odyssey team spent a week in this outrageous palm tree and concrete jungle, and every day was a struggle. Tom Dugan, who's back was already tweaked prior to the trip, had his bike stolen the first day. Jacob Cable fell deathly ill and was bedridden for most of the trip. Our Airbnb host tried to steal our bike rack, and our jet ski tour guide lost his shit when we were, according to him, being too reckless on the jet skis (he worries too much and also needs to chill). And we got kicked out of a lot of spots. And not just kicked out, but brutally screamed at and degraded, or even physically attacked. But the Odyssey team will not be stopped. These guys rode as hard as they could every day, banded together against those trying to prevent us from doing our thing, and filmed a damn fine video, even in the face of so much adversity. Enjoy!
Featuring Aaron Ross, Brandon Webster, Broc Raiford, Gary Young, Justin Spriet, Jacob Cable, Matt Nordstrom, and Travis Hughes.

Once is a fluke, twice a hope, three times a trend. So, with the pretty box-office numbers for Soul Food following the $70 million that Waiting to Exhale earned in early '96, and with the highly touted Eve's Bayou opening in two weeks, maybe Hollywood will stop being surprised every time the black middle class goes to see itself on screen.
Quality is another, nearly irrelevant matter; no film has to be well made to be well liked. Indeed, one reason for the popularity of Soul Food is that it pushes emotional buttons with all the subtlety of a poke in...

This article provides information about one of the best-known Svetambara Jain ceremonies, the eightfold puja (eightfold offering).
Last updated 2009-09-14
This article provides information about one of the best-known Svetambara Jain ceremonies, the eightfold puja (eightfold offering).
One of the best-known Svetambara Jain ceremonies is the eightfold puja (eightfold offering). This involves the worshipper making eight symbolic offerings to the image of a tirthankara.
Some of the symbolism is outlined below, but there is no official code of symbolism, so different Jain groups will have different ideas about it.
One idea common to many groups is that the various offerings are not so much a gift to the tirthankara (which would be pointless) but a giving up of them by the worshipper in a gesture of renunciation.
Before the ritual the worshipper washes themselves and puts on clean unstitched clothes that are normally used only for worship. These clothes are never used when eating or going to the toilet.
On the way to the temple the worshipper stops thinking of worldly things and prepares themselves mentally for worship.
Worshippers enter the temple and say "nisihi". This means "giving up" and indicates that they are moving from the secular activities into spiritual ones. They say it again as they enter the inner room that contains the images of the tirthankaras.
The worshipper walks three times clockwise round the area containing the images to symbolise the three jewels of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct. There are set texts to be chanted during this.
Then the worshipper makes 8 offerings:
The last three offerings are made at a distance from the image:
The food offerings are arranged symbolically on a table:
Rice is shaped into a swastika: the four corners of the swastika symbolise the four states into which a soul can be born - human, plant/animal, heavenly being, hell being.
Three dots are made above the swastika to symbolise the three jewels of right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. Above those comes a crescent with a dot above it, which symbolises the liberated beings at the very top of the universe.
The worshipper then adds fruit and other food, and money to the offering.
Finally each worshipper spends time in prayer and contemplation of the image.
