Splunk Inc (SPLK) shares have been sparking interest of late as the volume moving average (VMA) has climbed steadily over the past seven bars. In the most recent session, shares touched a high point of 117.86, while dipping down to 115.73. Shares closed with a change of -0.79 from the most recent open.
Volume is the indicator at which chartists constantly look to determine whether or not a move in the markets, a sector or a single issue, has conviction. It may also be the easiest of all indicators to understand; add the number of shares traded in a given period and you have the answer. It requires no weightings or exotic mathematical formulas. It simply indicates enthusiasm or lack thereof for an issue and it has nothing to do with the price.
To confirm a market turnaround or trend reversal, the technical analyst must determine whether or not the measurements of price and volume momentum agree with each other. If they do not, it is a sure indicator of weakness in the trend, and thus a trend reversal may be well on the horizon. If we have a look at volume from the standpoint of momentum, we see a recognizable level of buying and selling activity.
Active traders have a wide range of technical indicators at their disposal for when completing technical stock analysis. Currently, the 14-day ATR for Splunk Inc (SPLK) is spotted at 3.44. First developed by J. Welles Wilder, the ATR may assist traders in determining if there is heightened interest in a trend, or if extreme levels may be signaling a reversal. Simply put, the ATR determines the volatility of a security over a given period of time, or the tendency of the security to move one direction or another.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 70.27, the 7-day stands at 80.27, and the 3-day is sitting at 82.8. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a commonly used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued.
Another technical indicator that may be a powerful resource for determining trend strength is the Average Directional Index or ADX. The ADX was introduced by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's and it has stood the test of time. The ADX is typically used in conjunction with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to help spot trend direction as well as trend strength. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Splunk Inc (SPLK) is noted at 23.7. Many technical analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal.
The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is another technical indicator worth taking a look at. Splunk Inc (SPLK) currently has a 14 day Williams %R of -8.39. The Williams %R fluctuates between 0 and -100 measuring whether a security is overbought or oversold. The Williams %R is similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except it is plotted upside-down. Levels above -20 may indicate the stock may be considered is overbought. If the indicator travels under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold. Chart analysts may also use the indicator to project possible price reversals and to define trends.
Splunk Inc (SPLK) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 126.65. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.

Q: Is it nice to get back on a seven-day work week for the first time to get in the regular season rhythm? Read
BB: Yeah, sure. The Sunday night makes it a little bit different. I don't know if this is normal – I don't know what normal is. You know, we were pretty much on that last week. Monday wasn't a real big day for us. It was a day to get back out there but not a big preparation day for us like it was before the Buffalo game on that long week. But I think we're into kind of a regular Wednesday, Thursday, Friday routine with Tuesday being a big day to prepare for Wednesday so hopefully we can do that tomorrow. Read
Q: How close was Rob Gronkowski to playing yesterday? Read
BB: I don't know. He was inactive. Read
Q: Did he have a shot to play? Read
BB: He was inactive. Read
Q: Going into the day, was there a chance he'd play? Read
BB: He was inactive for the game. Read
Q: What about Danny Amendola? Read
BB: He was inactive too. Read
Q: I know they were inactive. Read
BB: They were inactive so they didn't play. Read
Q: I think you have an idea how close they were. Read
BB: Well, they weren't able to play. What do you want, percentage points? They couldn't play. Read
Q: Going into the day, did you know they couldn't play? Read
BB: They were inactive. Read
Q: That doesn't answer my question. Read
BB: They were inactive, it's as simple as that. Read
Q: We saw Marcus Cannon the left side of the line in the first few weeks and yesterday saw him on the right side of the line for Sebastian Vollmer. How would you assess how he's held up overall in three games? Read
BB: He also played last week for Dan [Connolly] at guard. He's played really all the spots except center for us. His experience, his versatility, I think that happened in the spring too, in OTAs when Dan wasn't out there and Sebastian, so he was able to play at both guard and tackle. As you mentioned, left tackle some when [Nate] Solder was at tight end and he's also worked at guard. He's got good versatility, smart guy. He came through for us yesterday. I thought overall our line blocked well and we were able to run the ball competitively against a good run defense. All those guys did a good job; he did a good job too. Read
Q: Is left tackle a new thing for him this season? Read
BB: He played it in college. He's worked at both tackle spots extensively and then he worked at guard quite a bit. Well, he played guard some last year and he worked more guard this spring so he's, if you broke it down, he's probably had as many snaps at guard as he's had at tackle when you go all the way back to May. Read
Q: Were you pleased with the defensive pressure you had on the quarterback yesterday after watching the film? Read
BB: Everything can always be better. There were times where it was good. There were times when we contained him when he tried to scramble out. He had the one run, four or five yards whatever it was. They tried to bootleg us a few times. Overall, we were able to keep him in the pocket. Of course you always want to get more pressure. Read
Q: Logan Ryan saw his most extensive action yesterday. What did you see from him? Read
BB: Yeah, he played competitively. He played both inside and outside and also played in the kicking game. He's working hard. A lot of guys had an opportunity to play yesterday, some more snaps than others, but I thought overall as a team that the players were ready to play. Overall they played hard and played at a competitive level. Yeah, definitely put him in that category. Read
Q: You played a handful of snaps with just Devin McCourty at safety. What kind of advantage does that give you? It seems like a different look. Read
BB: We've done that in the past. It's not a big thing. Read
Q: From a personnel perspective, what are some advantages or disadvantages that look can give you? Read
BB: I think more of that look came against their three-receiver sets. So our third corner was with their third receiver. Yeah, it's just a different matchup for us. Read
Q: Where's the line when you have an offensive lineman who can play any spot, between versatility and wanting him to be really good at one spot? Read
BB: That's the great question. I think you either have to be really good at one spot or you have to be able to do multiple things. That's really the catch. We've had guys like Steve Neal, Dan Koppen, in the past that were very good football players for us that only played one spot and they never played anything else. Steve never played anything but right guard and Dan never played anything but center but they were very good at that spot and they were able to hold down that spot and we didn't need them to play anything else. Then there were guys that were versatile and played a number of different spots – Dan Connolly would fall into that category. He's played, he's started for us at center, he's started for us at left guard, he's started for us at right guard. He's played all his positions and played them well. Each player has a different niche, has a different set of skills. Some guys are the Dan Connolly, Mike Vrabel types, other guys are the Steve Neal, Dan Koppen types. I'd say the players that can only play one spot but they're not at that Dan Koppen, Steve Neal kind of level, then somebody else can come along and play at that level but also be able to do a couple other things for you, then that's where the competition gets thick. Read
Q: Is there any advantage having these NFC games together? Read
BB: I don't know. Whatever the schedule is, we just play the games that are on the schedule. Whatever opportunity we have, whatever information we have to work with, then we work with it. We can't make any more or less out of it than what it is. If it's a long week, it's a long week. If it's a short week, it's a short week. If it's AFC teams, NFC teams…honestly I don't even really give it a thought. Whatever we have, we have, just try to make the most of it. Read
Q: Rob Ninkovich just signed an extension. Do you try to identify core guys like that and what's the importance of getting that done early? Read
BB: Anytime you do a contract, there's an agreement on both sides. Both sides want and agree to get it done. That's where you have a deal. That was the case in this situation and I'm glad it worked out. Rob has a done a good job for us. He's come in here and gotten better each year. He's gotten a bigger role for us each year. He's played linebacker, defensive end, played all special teams. He's a versatile player that's given us a lot of production and a hardworking guy that I think is a well respected player on the team. I'm happy we got it done. Read
Q: Is he one of those guys that the more you gave him, he showed he could handle it and that's why we see the progress here from week to week and year to year? Read
BB: I'd say that that's true. I don't know that I knew or anybody knew it was going to turn out that way. Again, a lot of times a player's offensive or defensive play time stems from his special teams performance. When a player can play in the kicking game and he's at the game every week because he's there in the kicking game, then the offensive or defensive coaches can start to utilize him in some kind of role on their respective side of the ball. If a player does well in that role, then that can expand. A lot of times, that's how it works. There have been numerous cases of that around here, whether it be BenJarvus [Green-Ellis] or Rob, we can go right down the line. There's Kyle Arrington, there are a lot of guys that I would put in that category. His opportunities in the kicking game led to more opportunities on defense, his performance on defense led to more opportunities on defense. Like everybody else around here, everything he's gotten he's earned. He had no right or entitlement to anything, he just came in here and earned it. He's been doing it for several years now. Read
Q: Do you have to remind your players that you're playing a veteran quarterback with a strong team? Read
BB: Every week is a challenge in the National Football League. Every team has good players, every team has good coaches. Every week is a challenge. Atlanta is a big challenge but so was Tampa. We'll turn the page on them and move onto Atlanta. Sure, it's a big challenge to go down there. They have a good football team, they're well coached, they have good talent. I have a lot of respect for the people in that organization, the players, what they've accomplished, how consistent they've been. We know it will be a big challenge down there, no question about that. Read
Q: What are the differences between playing slot corner and playing on the outside? Read
BB: I think when you play inside, you're really playing to a degree, a linebacker or a safety position. Even in man-to-man coverage, it's different because the receiver has more options and the [slot] corner, if there is help, is closer to help than the [outside] corner is, if there's some kind of inside help. If there's no help, then the inside corner has more space to defend, across the ball or back outside as well as vertically compared to a corner who is more isolated in the area he has to defend. Once you get into combination of zone coverages, then that player's responsibility is either that of a safety or linebacker depending on the coverage and what exactly you're playing. That brings in a whole different awareness and conceptually playing as a linebacker or a safety as opposed to playing as a corner, if that makes any sense. All positions are difficult but I think it's a difficult position to play because of the amount of things that happen and how fast they happen: tight ends and backs coming in or outside receivers coming into your zone or things like that. Whereas, as a corner you're defending more space but there are less moving parts out there. There's less guys that can get into your area. It's usually just one or maybe two guys, whereas when you're inside in the slot, there could be four guys easily that could get in there and once they get into tight splits and things like that, trying to sort all that out, I'd just say it's a different game. It's not playing safety but it's not playing corner. It's a little bit of a hybrid spot. There's certainly a lot of awareness, a lot of things that those players have to see that are unique. It's not a linebacker, it's not a corner, it's a nickel position. Read
Q: Is a guy that plays both well an exception or should guys at this level be expected to play both well? Read
BB: No, I think it's like anything else. Some guys you can move them from the left side to the right side, from inside to outside, from 'X' to 'Z' and you wouldn't even know it, you couldn't even remember where they are. Other guys, you move them from left corner to right corner and it's like teaching them a different language. It's like English and Chinese. Or from right outside linebacker to left outside linebacker or left tackle to right tackle or left guard to right guard. I've seen players that you try to move them and it's just, they're not comfortable doing it, they don't perform well and then you put them in that spot. Then there are other guys that you can move them around, inside to outside linebacker or left end to right end or 'X' to 'Z' and it's seamless, apparently, it seems seamless. I'm sure it's not to them but that's the impression that you get. I think each player is different, each situation is different. I don't know that you ever really know the answer to that until you actually work with the player in your system and put him through that situation and see how he responds to it. I've coached a lot of players and I wouldn't want to sit here and say, 'Well, this is the way it is or isn't.' I've had them on the punt team: you move a guy from one side of the center to the other side of the center, it's the same protection, everything is the same but it's not the same. Then the next guy you move and you can't even remember which side he was on because they both look the same. Read
Q: Last week you talked about Vincent Jackson moving inside. Have you noticed any tendencies like that with Julio Jones and Roddy White yet? Read
BB: They move them around too. As you saw yesterday, Jackson was inside, he was outside and they also switched-released him a couple times where he'd line up in one spot but as the ball was snapped, he released to the complementary position. Same thing with Atlanta, they move those guys around. They have a good group of receivers in [Harry] Douglas and [Tony] Gonzalez and they put them in different spots and do different things with them. We haven't broken it down probably, or at least I haven't, thoroughly enough to know what all the tendencies are but I've seen them in a lot of different spots and it seems like they're dangerous wherever they are. Like with Jackson, you have to find them first and that's part of it. Then covering them, that's another issue. That's when the fun starts. Read

MIAMI, May 10, 2013--The imminent head-to-head conflict between Gulfstream Park and Calder Race Course figured to turn ugly and it did, sooner than many expected.
Calder horsemen fired a shot across the bow of the Churchill Downs-owned track at the end of April. Their racing contract and a temporary extension with Calder having expired, the Florida HBPA withdrew permission for Calder to export its simulcast signal out of state.
(A veto right over where a simulcast signal can be transmitted and received was given horsemen when simulcasting across state lines was first approved. In my opinion, it needs to be revisited, since it has turned into what amounts to a tool of extortion. Perhaps mandatory arbitration would be an alternative.)
The anticipated result materialized. Calder all sources handle plunged more than 50%.
The trackâs response also could have been anticipated. Since purses are a product of handle, Calder general manager John Marshall announced a 20% reduction.
The major hangup was the FHBPAâs insistence that a new contract allow horsemen to ship a horse to race at another track (Gulfstream is the only one within a thousand miles in the summer) and come back to his stall at Calder.
Marshall has been adamant this is not going to happen. Who can blame him? It costs a fortune to maintain a stable area the size of Calderâs--even one whose condition has drawn significant criticism. Horsemen pay no rent during the live racing season. Permitting a horse, which it is paying to house, to race at Gulfstream, which is trying to put Calder out of business, would be like an army allowing the enemyâs troops to sleep in its barracks.
Horsemen have a reasonable counter-argument. With Calder planning to run only three days a week (Friday through Sunday) and almost certainly carding fewer races each day, it will be difficult to find starts. Gulfstreamâs Saturday-Sunday agenda of about 16 races per weekend will create additional opportunities.
The horsemen also are armed with precedent. They have always been allowed to ship back and forth.
Gulfstream turned up the heat by promising to allow horses on its grounds to race at Calder without penalty.
Nevertheless, the local horsemen have to know that under the circumstances Calder isnât going to relent on such a crucial point. So why force the issue at the risk of substantial financial loss two months sooner than necessary?
One theory is Florida horsemen thought they could use the Kentucky Derby simulcast as a hostage.
In the past, horsemenâs organizations have tended to support each other by denying permission to have their races sent into a state where local horsemen are not letting their signal out. Florida horsemen might have been hoping that their Kentucky brethren would give them leverage by refusing to let Calder take the Derby signal.
For whatever reasons, including a contract Churchill Downs has with its horsemen to inoculate the Derby from this kind of action, the Calder blackout didnât happen.
This theory gained credibility on May 9. Five days after Calder conducted business as usual on Derby Day, the FHBPA and Calder announced a new interim agreement had been achieved. The provisions in effect at the start of the season would be extended through the end of May. Calder immediately rescinded the 20% cutback.
In jargon currently in vogue in Washington, the two sides kicked the can down the road. Come June, there will be a clearer picture of where the situation stands. Could the Belmont Stakes simulcast, with the possibility of Orb bidding for a Triple Crown, be the new target? A lot of New York horsemen work side by side each winter with the Florida regulars.
In the midst of the dispute, Gulfstream announced that it had gained approval from the state to reopen for one day, June 25. Calder says it will appeal the ruling. This might seem like much ado about very little, a normally dark Tuesday. However, there are bigger stakes.
By making June 25 a part of the season that ended April 5, then re-opening July 1 (the day the new fiscal year starts in Florida) Gulfstream gained the right to be considered a host track for simulcasting year-round. Instead of having to buy simulcast signals from Calder from April through November, Gulfstream can negotiate directly with senders, then remarket the signals to other Florida pari-mutuels in competition with Calder. (Tampa Bay Downs is using the same tactics on June 30-July 1 to qualify as a year-round host.)
The ability to control lucrative simulcast signals is as much a factor in Gulfstreamâs decision to race year-round as the attempt to buck up the struggling mall adjoining the track.
By all indications, Gulfstream is past the point of turning back. Head strong Frank Stronach seems determined to make his track a year-round operation, even if it means financial losses for an extended period.
Gulfstream president Tim Ritvo says more than a million dollars has been invested in building a new drainage system and a more sand based racing surface to deal with the biblical summer rains in South Florida. A new team in the racing office has been assembled. Gate crews have been hired. Snowbird trainers, who normally leave town with the end of the traditional Gulfstream season, have been cajoled into leaving behind some racing-ready stock.
Deteriorating relationships between Churchill Downs and Calder horsemen has a significant number of the latter just waiting for a cue that Gulfstream is a certain go to make a permanent change in their base of operations. Moreover, Ritvo was formerly one of them, a Calder-based trainer. They have a comfort and trust level with him.
This suggests that a financial settlement to Churchill Downs is the most viable avenue toward preventing the looming head-to-head showdown. Bottom-line oriented Churchill Downs Inc. was amenable to this a couple of years ago when Gulfstream made its incursion into December. It appears the only thing standing in the way this time is Stronach coming up with the right number.
Calder would still have to race 80 days annually to preserve its right to operate a casino, the company's priority. This could be readily accomplished by racing two or three weekdays during the months Gulfstream is not conducting its prime winter meet.
Marshall and Ritvo acknowledge that conversations above their pay grades are ongoing toward a settlement. Anyone with concern for Florida racing has to hope these talks will be fruitful.

The question could be asked if the saga of former West Brandywine Township Manager Ronald Rambo Jr. is typical of small town politics in Chester County – or that of other places across Pennsylvania.
Many people who are not from Pennsylvania often are amazed at how the cities, townships, boroughs and villages are run – or run into the ground.
So is Rambo typical or is he the exception? It depends on who you ask.
Longtime employee Carrie Pike says she remembers the day in 1998 when she began working in West Brandywine.
"I was 40 years old," she said in a letter to Common Pleas Court Judge William P. Mahon. "I didn't have a clue as to how a township was run, but as I learned how to do my job I began to love my job. I thought, 'This is the job I will have until I retire.' I looked forward to going to work every day."
But, as she described in the letter, which was read during the sentencing proceeding for Rambo, Pike's boss, that feeling of job satisfaction changed over time as she realized just how the township was run.
Her description of how Rambo treated the township — and its finances — as his private, personal domain, echoed the statements of others during and after the recent court hearing.
"Mr. Rambo could pretty much do whatever he wanted and not have to worry about the consequences," she wrote. He "is a bully and ran the township as though it was his." When his improprieties were eventually called to the attention of the three-member elected Board of Supervisors, they turned their ire towards the whistleblowers who accused Rambo — Pike and the township auditors –—and let Rambo go without any disciplinary action.
Prosecutors said that the attitude toward Rambo's behavior made him believe he could essentially steal from the township and get away with it.
Rambo, 60, of West Brandywine, was sentenced last Tuesday to two to 23 months in Chester County Prison on counts of forgery and theft. His sentencing marked the first municipal official — elected or appointed — to be sentenced to prison for criminal activity related to his or her position in recent county history.
"This man took a position of trust and in turn betrayed the trust of the taxpayers," Pike wrote.
And that's really the point. How it happened is not important. What's important is that Rambo broke his trust and that's something not acceptable in local government.
Yes, Pennsylvania's system of small kingdoms seems to make it ripe for this sort of activity but it doesn't make it right. And those supervisors, council people or others who allow it to continue are just as responsible.
Perhaps Rambo's jailing will send a message throughout the county that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated.

Classification: ST08-001F
Reference: NTB08-097F
Date: November 21, 2011
The General Procedures linked if you are using a internet copy of this bulletin has been amended. Please discard previous versions of these General Procedures.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan - except GT-R
If a customers reports their "vehicle pulls" or the "steering wheel" is off-center, use the Diagnostic Flow Chart above and the other information in this bulletin to diagnose and correct the issue
Road Test
Determine if the vehicle has a pull or steering wheel off-center issue that requires repair.
Replace the tire(s) or use known good tires from another vehicle for all road tests and diagnostics in this bulletin.
1. Install the following measuring tools on the vehicle:
2. Obtain a watch with a second hand (preferably a stopwatch) to use during the road test.
3. Take the vehicle for a road test and confirm the customers concern.
4. Determine the vehicles issue - refer to the definitions of "Pull" and "Steering Wheel Off-center".
5. When the road test is completed, remove the Road Crown Gauge, leave the Steering Wheel Off-Set Gauge in place until the Service Procedure is complete.
6. Refer to the Flow Chart for the next step.
Other Service Information
Customers may report that their vehicle's steering wheel is "off-center" because the steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right when the vehicle continues straight ahead on a straight flat road (see example in Figure 1).
If a vehicle's steering wheel spokes are slightly off center while driving straight, it may be the normal result of road crown. Most roads in the United States are built with a "crown" to help rain water drain from the road surface. The slope of the road crown varies from place to place.
Vehicles have a natural tendency to drift to the low side of the crown. The greater the slope of the crown, the faster the vehicle will drift in that direction.
Tires and vehicles are designed to counteract the effect of typical road crown, but may not fully counteract the effect of a highly crowned road.
Some freeways slope to both the left and right from the center. When driving on a freeway that slopes in both directions, a vehicle may exhibit a small amount of drift to the left when driving in the left lane and a small amount of drift to the right when driving in the right lane.
This bulletin does not address road crown issues because they are not vehicle related, although the customer may incorrectly perceive them to be.
Description/Definition of Steering Wheel "Off-center" Condition
The steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right more than allowable (see example in Figure 2) when driving straight ahead on a straight flat road.
Allowable specification for steering wheel off-center
When driving straight on a highly crowned road, the steering wheel may be turned (off-center) to counteract the affect of the road crown. When road testing for an off-center condition, the vehicle should be driven on a straight flat road.
Although the vehicle does not pull in either direction, the customer may perceive that the vehicle pulls because it will respond if he or she tries to bring the steering wheel back to center. This condition can occur if the tie rod length is uneven (not adjusted correctly) from side to side.
Description/Definition of a Vehicle "Pull" Condition
The vehicle consistently drifts to one side while driving at a constant speed on a straight, flat road.

According to TSN, newly signed Jesse Winchester skated with the Ottawa Senators today at practice and might even get into Thursday's rematch against Buffalo.
Who would sit? Has to be Randy Robitaille who didn't do much last night after playing uncharacteristically physical against Montreal on Monday. The only snag is that Winchester is still recovering from a shoulder he injured in college.
Also of note, Wade Redden is now listed as having an "injured left knee" and the defense pairings stayed the same as last nights successful experiment which means that rookie Brian Lee will get another chance to play with Chris Phillips on Thursday.
Give Bryan Murray credit for pairing Lee with Phillips, who's as solid and reliable as they come. It means that Lee will get a lot of minutes for a guy with one game under his belt but he seems capable so far.
It would be one hell of a story if both Lee and Winchester stick around and play during the Senators playoff run.
From the looks of it, Winchester played centre between Chris Neil and Christoph Schubert at practice but they also have Chris Kelly pencilled in between Shean Donovan and Martin Lapointe.
Has Kelly magically healed ridiculously early or is TSN inaccurate?
We'll wait and see.

To the Editor:
My wife died in June 2011.
She shouldn't have. She didn't have to. She had the best doctors in McHenry. She had the best doctors and facility in Chicago – Northwestern Memorial Hospital's liver transplant department. She had a 97 percent chance of full recovery.
However, when the time came to save her life, there was no donor organ available, and she died.
Eighteen patients die every day, and 120,000 more in the U.S. wait and pray for the life-saving donor organ.
I am bitter and angry because this death rate does not have to be. All of us easily can solve this problem ourselves. Simply sign on as an organ donor. What can be easier? Yet, as the need goes up, the donor pool is stalling? Why?
Why can't you take a few seconds to sign up? I would hope and pray that if any of you or your families ever needed a transplant it would be there for them.
A single donor possibly could save eight lives and restore eyesight to another. Think about this. What greater memory could you have of a loved one, and what greater legacy than to know that in their passing they gave the gift of life to another?
April is organ donor month.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Good pre-natal care and active lifestyles are among the factors allowing Vermont to rank as the No. 1 healthiest state, yet the state could be doing even better, officials said Tuesday.
"It's something that means a lot to us in terms of ensuring that Vermonters have healthy, productive lives, the best quality of life in the country," Gov. Peter Shumlin said as he joined Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen in making the announcement of the state's top ranking.
Shumlin said it was the fourth year in a row that Vermont had won the title of healthiest state in the United States, but Lauren Mihajlov, spokeswoman for the United Health Foundation, said it was actually the sixth year in a row Vermont had done so.
The state's record shows improvement is achievable: It ranked 20th in 1990, the first year the foundation did the rankings.
"Vermont's strengths include its number one position for all health determinants combined, which includes ranking in the top 10 states for a high rate of high school graduation, a low violent crime rate, a low incidence of infectious disease, a low prevalence of low birth weight infants, high per capita public health funding, a low rate of uninsured population, and ready availability of primary care physicians," the report's authors wrote.
Nice laurels, both state and foundation officials said, but don't rest on them. About a quarter of Vermonters are obese, and the state's rate of obesity has grown about 75 percent since 1995. That's the bad news; the worse news is that the rest of America is getting fatter faster, Chen said.
"If you decline in every one of your indicators from one year to the next, you can still maintain your No. 1 ranking if everyone else does worse," said Mihajlov.
While Vermont ranked No. 1 overall and No. 1 in "determinants" — factors that influence the results — it ranked No. 5 in the country in outcomes, the report said.
Is that a sign the state is failing to live up to its advantages?
"We see a lot of potential for Vermont to do even better than they're doing," Mihajlov said. "Even though Vermont has a lot of lessons they can share with other states, they have lessons they can learn as well," she added.
One area Chen called troubling and likely difficult to address: Vermont ranks 28th best in its cancer death rate, meaning a slight majority of other states do better on that measure. Another subcategory ranking lower than most that Vermont got was for binge drinking, for which it was found to be the 27th best state.
Vermont had the 11th-best childhood immunization rate, with 92.8 percent of kids up to date on their shots, the report said. That ranking came in a year when the Legislature debated and rejected a measure ending the "philosophical exemption" that allows some parents to skip shots for their kids if they're skeptical about the shots' health effects.
Mihajlov said it was difficult to explain one set of results found in the foundation's survey: Respondents were asked how many days in the previous month they "could not perform work or household tasks due to mental illness." The median response from Vermonters was 3.7 days, she said. The national figure was 3.8 percent. Mihajlov called the findings "shocking."

Airbus said that it began informing airline customers Thursday that it would not move ahead with an original plan to use the lightweight lithium-ion batteries to power a number of the A350's onboard systems, and would revert instead to a conventional battery, made of nickel-cadmium, that is already used extensively on existing Airbus models.
"Airbus considers this to be the most appropriate way forward in the interest of program execution and reliability," said Marcella Muratore, an Airbus spokeswoman.
Airbus completed the assembly of its first test version of the A350 late last year and initial ground tests of that plane using the lithium-ion batteries had already begun at its factory in Toulouse, France. By switching gears now, the company said it hoped to be able to stick to its schedule of delivering the first aircraft in the second half of 2014.
Investigators at the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board have not determined the root cause of two episodes in January involving fire or smoke from the 787's lithium-ion batteries, which are made by a Japanese company, GS Yuasa. The incidents prompted the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to ground all 787s on Jan 17.
In recent weeks Airbus executives had indicated their concern that the continued uncertainty about the cause of the 787 battery problems, as well as the nature of any fixes that might be ordered by the FAA and its European counterpart, the European Aviation Safety Agency, might endanger the A350's development schedule, leading to potentially significant compensation payments to airlines.
Airbus currently has 617 orders for the A350 from 35 airline customers.
Muratore, the Airbus spokeswoman, stressed that the company remained confident that the lithium-ion battery system that it had been developing with its French supplier, Saft, was "robust and safe," and added that Airbus planned to use lithium-ion batteries on the A350s it will use for flight tests scheduled to begin this summer.
The decision to revert to nickel-cadmium batteries, she said, was made purely for commercial reasons.
"As a result of making this decision now, Airbus does not expect it to impact the entry into service schedule," Muratore said.

Given the antics that this developer has got up to already, this does not surprise me at all. I just noticed that most of his faked reviews have disappeared (but unfortunately not the 5 star rankings). Perhaps Apple has noticed his shenanigans.

Bishop Thomas Encourages Work of St. Seraphim Center on Visit to Chambersburg
During his August 2012 visit to St. Mary Church in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Bishop Thomas repeatedly stressed the importance of the parish's work at the St. Seraphim Orthodox Center (SSOC) in downtown Chambersburg and urged parishioners to continue and extend this ministry to the wider community.
His Grace was presented with a report on the Center written by one of the parish's high school students, Ariel Wetzel, who gave an overview of the history of the SSOC, as well as excerpts from interviews she conducted among those engaged in the ministry.
Ariel's report describes the origins of the Center as follows:
The idea of a center came about from Father Tom Klein, a priest at an Orthodox church in Huntington, PA. He came to Father Theodore Pulcini of St. Mary's and suggested St. Seraphim of Sarov as the center's patron saint. After interested parish members and Frs. Ted and Tom met several times to discuss the idea, Fr. Ted had the group participate in a several-week-long prayer discipline to contemplate the idea, and prayed to ask for St. Seraphim's intercession and guidance. When the group finally decided to go through with the idea, an apartment was rented on Route 30, Lincoln Way West, and the St. Seraphim Center came to be.
Ariel then describes the work of the Center:
The St. Seraphim Center is a ministry conducted by the parish of St. Mary's… to feed the needy in the Chambersburg area. The Center serves lunch to some 35 to 45 guests twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays, which complements the lunch schedule of the Salvation Army across the street. The Center is well recognized as a welcoming community center in the Chambersburg area. It also offers recycled articles of clothing, free of charge, to men, women, and children.
A typical day consists of the volunteers arriving around 9:00am on a Thursday or Saturday. They prepare for the day by making hot dogs, soup, and setting out sandwiches and baked goods. The doors then open at 10:00, when people can come in, take a seat, and partake of the food and drinks. The Center has a friendly community atmosphere. This progresses until 1:00pm, when the center closes and the volunteers clean up and leave.
What is perhaps most moving about Ariel's report is the collection of reflections offered by SSOC staff members whom she interviewed. A few of these follow:
I have found that when people (in whatever life circumstances) are treated with dignity and respect, they will respond in a like manner. I also see how our center provides people with more than just a meal. It provides them with companionship...whether with other visitors or staff...the time spent at SSOC is a way for some of our regulars to alleviate loneliness.
…My involvement in the Center has been something that I have personally wanted to do for some time. I am a "cradle" Orthodox Christian, but have never been a member of a church that did anything like this. While we are taught to not have pride, the SSOC makes me feel proud to be part of the St. Mary Community.
The foremost lesson I have learned from working at St Seraphim is that anybody could be put in a situation to need our services. For example, we have fed a women with an Ivy League degree and a man who fifteen years ago was in a position of authority in our town. Also, instead of dreading service, I actually look forward to talking with our guests. They have names, faces and stories.
The report also includes staff reflections on challenges and difficulties encountered at the SSOC. There is always the problem of funding. What enabled the Center to get started was a generous "seed grant" given in 2009 by FOCUS North America. Since then the generosity of both parishioners and those outside the parish have kept the Center in operation. Then there was the challenge of establishing trust "on the street." Ariel's statistics clearly show that when the Center opened its doors in November 2009, the number of those who availed themselves of its services was small. However, as time passed and people came to trust the Center and its staff, the numbers steadily increased. Then, of course, there are the problems presented by the behavior of some of the guests, but these issues have managed to resolve themselves over time, largely as a result of the unofficial "code of behavior" enforced among the guests themselves.
When Bishop Thomas visited the Center on Saturday, 18 August, he was impressed by the spirit he experienced there among both the staff and the guests. He reflected on this in his remarks after Vespers that evening, in which he encouraged St. Mary's parishioners not to "hide their works under a bushel basket" but to make the SSOC known so that others can conduct similar ministries throughout the diocese. "The need is great and increasing everywhere," he observed.
This past November the SSOC began its fourth year of service to the community. At St. Mary Church we thank Sayyidna Thomas for his words of encouragement, and we take seriously his challenge to let others know of our ministry at the Center. [Anyone wanting a copy of Ariel Wetzel's full report can email Fr. Ted Pulcini at firstname.lastname@example.com.] And we hope that during his next parish visit in Novermber 2013, His Grace will visit the SSOC as it begins its fifth year of service.

City ordinance for RV parks in the works
While no action was taken during Tuesday's city commission meeting, discussion was held on the criteria for a proposed RV (recreational vehicle) park ordinance.A third rendition of the ordinance draft was discussed, which defines what classifies as an RV park, what an RV is and what amenities must be placed inside an RV park. Various other specifications were also noted, including individual utilities and hook-ups per vehicle.A park would have 24 spaces, which would cover about half a city block. Should more spaces be implemented, the installation of amenities like laundromats and showers would be required.A concern raised during the discussion was that, in the instance of a growing RV park, owners should not be subjected to becoming establishers of amenities like a laundromat. However, the city stated that companies with larger parks usually already have these facilities and much more, including recreational centers.However, as the number of spaces increase, the park could begin to venture into the territory of being classified as a crew camp. By establishing and passing an ordinance with organization, the city would have a set of rules which would need to be followed.Existing parks would need to be in compliance with the future ordinance as well. And in the instance that the city wanted to begin discussions with the county on ETJ (extraterrestrial jurisdiction) — which allows a government the ability to exercise authority beyond its boundaries, legal counsel would be sought prior to any type of action.The city has discussed this issue at previous meetings as part of their preparation for the incoming activity from the Cline Shale oil development. Plans are in place to bring a formal ordinance regarding RV parks to the commission at their regular April meeting.

Petr Cech insisted the Nou Camp does not scare Chelsea after helping them beat Barcelona to take a crucial lead into Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg.
The Blues continue to bask in their statistics-busting 1-0 win in Wednesday's first leg at Stamford Bridge, which saw goalkeeper Cech produce one of his best performances of the season to keep Barca at bay.
Speaking of the next clash, he added: "We've done well in the past there and need to reproduce the same kind of performance that we did and like we have before. It will be really important to score an away goal as well but we seem always to score there and, hopefully, we can replicate that."

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Junior college running back Cameron Artis-Payne has signed to play for Auburn next season.
Tigers coach Gus Malzahn announced the signing of the 5-foot-11, 220-pounder on Wednesday. Artis-Payne spent the past two seasons at Allan Hancock Community College in Santa Maria, Calif. He'll be eligible for spring practice.
He rushed for 2,048 yards and 25 touchdowns in 10 games last season.
Artis-Payne led the California Community College Athletic Association in rushing yards, yards per game, yards per rush and touchdowns.
He gained 1,364 yards and ran for 18 touchdowns as a freshman.
The Tigers return leading rusher Tre Mason and reserve Mike Blakely next season. No. 2 rusher Onterio McCalebb is gone from a thin backfield.
Auburn ranked ninth in the SEC in rushing with 148.4 yards per game.

My skin has been horribly dry and crusty for a while (switching skincare around – again) so I have been scouring the forums, looking for the must have powder. I have found that Armani's Micro Fil Powder has had consistently good reviews so I bought it for around £28 (I think it was, I remember thinking – how much!?).
Here it is:
On the counter I only saw three shades, 0, 1 and 2 so I got 2. However on the leaflet inside it says it comes in 5 shades…possible an overseas issue there.
Read on for more info!So it comes in a simple froster case and a sponge applicator. The powder feels super fine and really really does disappear beautifully on the skin. I have lots of other loose powders (why, impulsive nature, WHY!?!) that I have bought and not finished. My three other favourites include:
1. La Mer Translucent (but a bit glittery)
2. NARS (very finely milled but colour is a bit off for me, a bit chalky- I have Eden)
3. Illamasqua (nice texture but can look a bit caked on)
I also have lots of mineral powder foundations but I find these a little heavy to set a full face of foundation.
The texture is BEAUTIFUL! So finely milled, so soft. It blends away to NOTHING but softly finished make up. Its just stunning.
A possible issue is the shimmeryness of the powder. In the jar, it appears very glittery – you can see the shiny particles in it which I am guessing are light reflective. Once this is blended away I really really did not find my face shimmery or horrible AT ALL.
However, if you are 100% against any shimmer in your face powder, then this may not be for you. This worked really well on my extreme combo skin which has oily patches but also very dry areas.
02 is supposed to be warm, its actually quite light and cool toned::
Doesn't matter as it disappears and does not leave me with a cakey face either way.
I don't declare HG very easily but I think Armani's loose powder may be my HG. There are so many great loose and pressed powders on the market at the moment that you may be able to find an alternative. For me, this powder is extremely fine milled, is extremely effective. I *heart* it mucho.

The five-mile Orange Line extension from Belt Line Station to the newly rebuilt Terminal A at DFW Airport will bring the light-rail system to 90 miles.
"Opening a project of this complexity early and under budget is a great testament to the work of our DART team and our colleagues at DFW Airport," DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas said. "Support from the Federal Transit Administration and Federal Aviation Administration was also crucial to beating the targeted opening."

Blackheart.com.au Wins XPD Australia Adventure Race
The 2010 XPD Australia, taking place in Cairns over the past week, is over, with BlackHeart.com.au crossing the finish line in first place after more than seven days of racing. They were joined on the podium by McCain Adventure Addicts of South Africa and Team Merrell/Akali, a mixed team from France, New Zealand, and Canada, in second and third place respectively.
The expedition length adventure race challenged teams of four to run, trek, mountain bike, paddle, and navigate their way through some of the most challenging backcountry that Queensland, Australia has to offer. The athletes found themselves in kayaks on wild whitewater rivers as well as the sea, while they hiked through rainforests and biked challenging single track.
The winning team reached the finish line several hour ahead of the second place finishers, but it was not as easy as it would seem from just glancing at the leaderboard. Team Orion Adventure was at the front of the pack, pushing Blackheart hard late in the race, but that outstanding team was forced to withdraw due to an ankle injury to one of the team members when they were on the final leg of the race.
Congratulations to BlackHeart.com.au on an outstanding race. To find out more about the XPD, head over to Adventure World Magazine, where they've followed the events much more closely than I have this past week. They've even posted a very good profile on McCain Adventure Addicts, a team that recorded their best finish ever in an International race.

Virgin Blue Extends Adelaide-Broome
Virgin Blue has announced it will further its commitment to regional Australia by maintaining its weekly Adelaide-Broome service all year round, after steady support for the existing flight and solid forward bookings.
The airline launched the route 11 weeks ago to cater to the large number of holidaymakers keen to visit the stunning region but who were unable to afford the airfare to get there.
The original schedule has seats on sale for travel until 27 September 2003. From today, Virgin Blue will offer its direct Adelaide-Broome flights for sale into the New Year.
The extension is the result of the large number of Virgin Blue Guests requesting the ability to forward plan a visit to Broome for their Christmas and New Year holidays.
Head of Commercial and Strategy, David Huttner said, "The support from travellers so far has given us the confidence to commit to continuing the flights past September.
He continued, "What we've found is that when you offer the right price, people will come all year round. In tropical north Queensland, we have seen a shift to consistently strong year round domestic business due to Virgin Blue's affordable pricing in what was, until now, the off-season. We see no reason why we can't do the same to Broome."
Thousands of travellers have already taken advantage of Virgin Blue's low fares and award winning service, providing a huge stimulus to the local tourism industry.
With fares starting from $275* one-way on the net, the route is also proving a winner with locals who are taking off to visit friends and family interstate.
David Huttner added, "If the large number of connecting flights booked are anything to go by, both visitors and Broome residents have valued the convenient connections from Adelaide to the East Coast, especially after being isolated by high fares until now."
Virgin Blue has also identified a number of Broome visitors re-booking for another trip later in the year after they have discovered the delights of the region for the first time.
The support from the local tourism industry and operators, as well as the Broome community, has been instrumental in Virgin Blue's decision to continue flights.
* All fares include the passenger ticket levy, airport charges and the global security charge and are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A wet pre-winter storm dumped more than 7 inches of rain on parts of Southern California over the weekend, triggering scores of accidents, a few minor mudslides and downed trees.
Rainfall that began Saturday morning continued relentlessly throughout Sunday and wasn't expected to let up until sometime Monday. It was expected to resume again Tuesday, continue through Wednesday and then, after a brief break, return on Christmas Day, said Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service.
A flash-flood warning was in effect for parts of Southern California, particularly mountain areas burned in recent years by wildfires, while most of the rest of the region was covered by flood warnings or flood advisories.
Residents of La Canada Flintridge were among those keeping a wary eye on the rain. More than 40 homes in the hillside city just north of Los Angeles were damaged or destroyed by a mudslide in February.
"We are holding up," said Lien Yang, who measures rainfall totals in his backyard and reported about 3 inches had fallen by noon Sunday. "It's coming down steady but not pouring. Therefore it doesn't cause a mud flow or flooding or anything like that. Hopefully it's winding down and we'll have no threat this time."
In Northern California, the San Francisco Bay area caught only a portion of a powerful storm system, the National Weather Service said, although the weather was blamed for a series of scattered power outages in the area.
Moderate to heavy rainfall fell on San Francisco early Sunday, but by late morning most of the precipitation had moved east.
A spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric said about 3,300 homes and businesses in the San Jose and Gilroy area were without power early Sunday afternoon.
Despite light weekend traffic, the rain triggered more than 60 accidents throughout the Los Angeles area, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Many were fender-benders but in the city of Industry, east of Los Angeles, a car carrying four members of a family hit a tree. A 6-year-old girl was hospitalized in critical condition and her father, mother and 15-month-old sister suffered lesser injuries, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Hollywood Park canceled its final seven races of the day Sunday after rain made a section of turf leading to the main track too dangerous to navigate.
The deluge uprooted numerous trees. In Woodland Hills, north of Los Angeles, a eucalyptus tree crashed onto the roof of a home, while a 40-foot tree fell onto an apartment building in Glendale. No injuries were reported.
In Los Angeles, residents of a Bel Air home had to be evacuated when a retaining wall collapsed and mud surged into the house, fire department spokesman Erik Scott said.
In San Luis Obispo County, along California's central coast, a hiker was swept into a creek. He was able to get out on his own before rescuers arrived.
The real impact of the storm could come later in the week, Seto said, when hillsides are saturated with rain and the possibility of mudslides and flash floods seriously increases.
Rainfall throughout the region ranged from 2 to 4 inches in the Los Angeles area, including downtown, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, to more than 7 inches in some mountain areas. As much as 3 more inches could fall before the storm departs on Monday, Seto said. The one that follows it on Tuesday could be even stronger, he said.
Rainfall accumulation could total 20 inches in some locations by Wednesday, the weather service said.
Soaked hillsides gave way to some minor mudslides in canyon areas and flooding in a few low-lying streets, but nothing serious, Seto said.
The system hit the state after a large storm front moving out of the Gulf of Alaska met with warm, moist air coming across the Pacific Ocean. The result was heavy rain and hardly any snow, even at higher elevations.
No one had been asked to evacuate any areas, but Yang said he and his neighbors had been warned to be prepared just in case. One of his neighbors, Tom Smith, spent part of the afternoon putting sandbags in front of his house.
Yang's home escaped damage in February but his next-door neighbor had to dig 24 feet of mud out of his backyard and a house just around the block was destroyed. Most of the homes have been rebuilt or repaired since then.
Meanwhile, county flood control workers have kept the neighborhood's streets lined with barricades designed to direct mud flows away from homes. Residents recently added a holiday touch, festooning the barricades with Christmas lights.
Associated Press Writer John S. Marshall in San Francisco contributed to this story.

Ocker CANNIBAL DEATH SPIDERS invade Japan!
Red Back in terror march
One of Australia's two lethal spiders, the Redback (Latrodectus hasselti), has escaped into Japan and is creating national terror, according to news outlet The Asahi Shimbun.
First spotted in Japan back in 1995, the spider has now reportedly reached 22 prefectures in the country, the site reports. Most of the affected areas are in Western Japan, and near ports.
While venomous – after all, spiders generally are, but usually not so that humans notice – the Red Back is a minor threat. With an effective antivenin widely available, only one death in Australia has been reported (but not confirmed) since 1955.
A relative of America's Black Widow, the Red Back similarly practises cannibalism while mating.
The report states that there have been 63 sightings of the spider since September 28, and that the spider has been reported in Shingo near Fukuoka, Koga, and at the Ground Self-Defense Force Camp Metabaru in Yoshinogari, Saga Prefecture. Additionally, the report states: "in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, and Kyoto city more than 100 spiders turned up in city parks in September alone, officials said."
The Asahi Shimbun says Japan has failed to keep its antivenin stores up-to-date, and eradication efforts are being hampered by haphazard planning.
El Reg therefore hopes that Australia's real scare-story, the Funnel-Web Spider (Atrax Robustus) never decides to stowaway on board ship… ®
The redback also has a place in Australian culture, thanks to the immortal song 'The redback on the toilet seat' you can listen to below. And yes, it is a country song.

Submission + - Surface sales 'modest' so far said Ballmer (theregister.co.uk)
hcs_$reboot writes: Sales of Microsoft's Windows RT-based Surface tablet are off to a "modest" start according to chief executive Steve Ballmer. Given the general dropping sales in the PC business coupled with Microsoft's relatively small inventory of Surface machines, it'll be interesting to see how soon Surface can hit Microsoft's million milestone.

Mr. Smarta, do you REALLY believe that Obumma would even survive such an attempt?? Trust me....NOT IN A PIG'S EYE!!!
Why is the fact that "he never said that" something that matters? As I understand the libs, the bottom line is: "If you say anything loudly enough and long enough, it will eventually become the truth"!
SAY WHAT?? Obummer has "already won"??? I beg to DIFFER! Guess what, Mr. Smarta....there is NO WAY Obumma will be reelected!! No matter how many lies and distortions come spewing out of the propagandist, lap dog puppet establishment media; no matter what the extent of corruption and voter fraud goes on, Obummer is OUT!! The election has not even taken place, and you're throwing your hands up in defeat??? Really?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2006 – NATO had a tough summer in Afghanistan, but the troops came through and have proven they are tough and in for the long haul, the NATO International Security Assistance Force commander said today. Talking from Afghanistan with Pentagon reporters, British Army Gen. David Richards said the Taliban tried to exploit NATO's arrival to try to deter the alliance from assuming command of operations in Afghanistan.
"We needed to prove, both to them and to the people of this country - in particular people of the south - that NATO ISAF was up to the job that we had been entrusted with, building on the great work of the U.S.-led coalition," Richards said. "That meant that we had to fight, and fight we have."
He said the alliance had a tactical victory in Operation Medusa in the area southwest of Kandahar. The NATO troops came from Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom. Richards said the operation helped the Afghan National Army and police establish "the psychological ascendancy over the Taliban in a military sense."
He said there is no doubt any more that NATO can fight. Alliance soldiers inflicted "the biggest single defeat on the Taliban that had occurred since 2001," Richards said.
But having established its bona fides, the alliance must build upon its accomplishments, he said. "We have now with the government and with the international community to exploit the window of opportunity," the general said.
The Afghan government, NATO and the international community must deliver reconstruction and improvements in governance that Afghans want. "They need to appreciate that it's not all going to happen tomorrow, but that it is ... on an upward curve with a continuing sense of improvement," Richards said. "That will build confidence that all this effort is worth it and the fighting, when it occurs, is worth it and leads to a better future.
He said failure to deliver would mean a bad year in 2007. "If we can deliver it and we start to persuade moderate opinion - which is still a vast majority in this country, they want us to succeed - that we are up to it, then things could be much better by April next year, and that is our aim jointly, with the government, with the international community and obviously within the band, the grouping, of those that constitute the security forces at work here," he said.
The general said he had spent the morning with the chiefs of the Afghan army and police. The three gave final direction on the first pan-Afghanistan security operation in which the whole country will feel the effect of properly coordinated security operations. "This is one of the great advantages of NATO-ISAF expansion," he said. "For the first time, we have a single commander with a single headquarters with whom the Afghans can now operate and cooperate. And we gave clear direction, I hope, about how we are to take forward our operations together this winter."

Hypocrisy pushed the Episcopalian Deacon Lou Ness to the utmost spiritual limits in August, when she heard God's voice.
His direction was clear: "Walk out the door of the church. Walk to Washington, D.C., and say you have not heard the cry of my people. I'm taking the stories of the people who live in poverty across this part of the country, from Rockford to D.C.
"For many people in our country, the American Dream is really the American Nightmare. It's time that we as people of faith step up in another way, that we take action different, that we not wait, that we move."
Ness, executive director of Shelter Care Ministries, launched "Hear Our Cry: Marching for America's Poor" on Ash Wednesday from her agency's headquarters at 412 N. Church St.
On April 1, otherwise known as April Fool's Day, she'll embark down State Street for a nearly 800-mile march to the nation's capital. Then, a tentative six- to eight-week itinerary will have her hiking to Congress' home base, collecting true stories of poverty from those who wish to share.
She's already breaking in some minimalist shoes. And praying. She's doing a lot of praying for the travels that will have her still conducting her day job via the wonders of technology. Churches, synagogues and temples in six states are likely to shelter her along the way.
However, "I'm prepared to tent," said Ness, who will rely on donations rather than money from the Shelter Care Ministries' annual budget of approximately $1.1 million.
Shelter Care was established in 1984. The agency now operates programs for homeless families, the mentally ill and the unemployed.
Ness' Ash Wednesday audience was comprised of approximately 30, a handful of which bore a cross of ashes across their foreheads.
Mark Trotter, a 59-year-old man who has relied on Shelter Care's services for a decade, spoke as a potential disciple in Ness' march.
"Let's transform Rockford," he said. "Let's do it together. I want to go on the walk with her."
Ness isn't sure who she'll speak to once she arrives in Washington, D.C. But she hopes to have testimonies that speak to statistics appearing in Shelter Care's written materials such as:
n More than 46 million Americans, or 15 percent of the population, live below the official U.S. government poverty line.
n Illinois' rate is also 15 percent, with nearly 1.9 million people living in poverty. Rockford has a higher rate of 23.5 percent.
Shelter Care's Board President Pamela Hillenbrand said Ness' upcoming march reminds her of Jesus' Lenten walk to Jerusalem.
"An important question today is if not now, when? If not us, who?" she said. "This holy calling came to Lou Ness but it doesn't end there. It's moved beyond Lou, and it involves all of us. And it is growing.
"This call and this opportunity is way too big for just Shelter Care. If you are so inclined, support the march. You might want to march out of Rockford with Lou. The time is now."
