Plans have already been drawn up by Professional Engineering Services for the project - the re-laying of broken sewer lines in the city.
"We'll start with the worst lines and go as far as the money goes," said Mayor Carter on Tuesday morning.
Work on the project will begin after bids have been taken by the city.
Funding for the project will include $43,479 in local funds. The grant dollars were provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The grant was applied for under the direction of former Mayor Bill Wells, and has the support of of Senator Mae Beavers and Representative Frank Buck. Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, and Congressman Bart Gordon assisted in the securing of funds.

It's been almost two months since I started my new job at Roll Call and already I've settled in and gotten back into the swing of reporting.
Getting to report again feels amazing. I had been yearning to get out and talk to people and find stories for longer than I had wanted to admit to myself, and being able to do that again has lifted a dark cloud off my shoulders that had been bringing me down for many months.
The past year has taught me many things.
I learned so much as a copy editor for the eight-month stint I spent doing that, but more so I learned that work environments are extremely important. Often times, the name and reputation of the company you work for doesn't necessarily mean it's the right place for you to be at certain points of your life.
As tempting as it is to start at a top-ranked, top-regarded company, sometimes the opportunities are greater somewhere smaller, where bigger opportunities come your way more often in your career.
It's been a whirlwind of a first year out of college, but I finally feel like I have a solid footing to achieve some of the long-term goals I set for myself. Here's to hoping I found a company to grow some deep roots as a journalist.

My Stuff
Fortune Is a Stranger
United States
Forks has always been a strange place.
At least, as long as I've known it.
Six or seven years ago, when I romped with some locals on days off from a summer job at Sol Duc Hot Springs, the exhausted lumber town stank of cedar dust, whiskey breath, and the rogue meth wisp.
Nothing ever happened, and the solitary natural invigoration came from rumors of hauntings on the A Road, a retired lumber trail that only served as a refuge for drunks and high school students looking to evade the sheriff, who was said to strap a giant fan to his back and soar over the town with a parachute, eagle-eyeing keggers and speed-trapping stray tourists who never would agree upon why they came here in the first place.
Sometime after 2008, when the Twilight vampire film and book series became the new teen-and-then-some sensation, the clear-cut coven found new blood in tourism, which I once described in the San Diego Reader around June of 2010 thusly:
Not long ago, Forks, Washington, was among the dreariest and most unremarkable expired lumber towns in the country.
Teenagers would kill time getting twisted on the "A" road, a desolate lumber route rumored to be haunted on the outskirts of town.
Others would drive a couple hours east to Port Angeles in search of nightlife or west to La Push or Second Beach on the Quileute Reservation.
Discarded lumberjacks would submit job applications with resignation at Clallam Bay Correctional Center and take long drives alone to contemplate the clear-cuts, wondering where it all went wrong.
As if to accentuate the abject tedium surrounding the small town just west of Olympic National Park, the rain never stopped and the clouds never parted.
Which is exactly why author Stephanie Meyers chose Forks as the setting for her bestselling vampire love novel Twilight, the premise of which came to her in a dream. Having Goggled the rainiest place in the U.S. (121 inches a year), Phoenix native Meyers wrote the book without ever visiting the town of just over 3,000 residents.
Forks saw a 600% increase in tourism almost overnight after the book's publication in 2005. Corner store profits doubled, shop windows posted signs reading "We love Edward and Bella," and cafés renamed their menu items to include characters' names as fanatics swarmed to Forks from all over the world.
The mania was bolstered by the 2008 release of Twilight the movie, which was never actually filmed in Forks. Regardless, buildings were designated as sites from the story for the Twilight tour.
The Miller Tree Inn became the Cullen House. Owning one of the few two-story residences in town, locals Kim and David McIrvin volunteered their home to be Bella's house. Shop workers dressed up like characters from the movie. Forks fully embraced Meyers' imagination of itself, and the money it brought with it. In a surreal way, Forks became the Forks of Twilight – a town modeled after a book inspired by a dream.
Now you can spot Bella's red '56 Chevy truck parked in front of the Visitors Center on the south side of town. You can contend with droves of predominantly female fans for memorabilia at the Dazzled by Twilight store. You can track down the police chief who happily plays the role of Bella's father and stay at the Miller Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast. You'll probably need to make reservations.
But once the madness blows over, when the adolescent masses tire of chasing the vampire daydream, when Jacob's blackberry cobbler is once again just a slice of blackberry cobbler in the middle of nowhere, and all that remains are the damp sidewalks and a few straggling tourists on their way to Sol Duc Hot Springs and the San Juans, what will become of eerie Forks, Washington?
Just how long does it take to clear-cut a dream?
As it turns out, not a lot has changed.
Every aspect of Forks is still sucking off the dream:
Some 40 miles on bike from Sol Duc, Z and I poke into the Mill Creek Bar and Grill. We drink cheap beer and whisky in a recently remodeled bar whose menu reads in Twilight font.
A bald and bearded local makes conversation.
"I used to work in the cedar mills as a boy. Then that all went under. Now, this Twilight thing? Yeah, it's working this year. The people are still here. They come for Twilight. Then they come back for the area. For Forks, the area. They see what's here. The falls, the trails, the beaches, the forests…"
Certainly, the Olympic Peninsula is one of the last remaining wonders of the wild, lesser-bastardized tracts of Good America. Much of it protected National Park, the place is set, for now.
Later, many drinks later, our bartender, a woman in her mid-thirties maybe, reiterates a similar idea.
"Everyone comes for Twilight. But they come back for this place. I've seen people from Sweden, Iceland, Portugal, everywhere. They all come back just to see what else is out here."
The new metaphor is obvious.
When once Forks thrived on the gratuitous clear-cut of timber, the town now celebrates a return of vibrancy via the voyeuristic suckling of the area's remaining natural virtues.
What remains.
Vampires glimmer in sunlight.
These woods glow in Arizona eyes.
Ebb and flow.
(By the way - Don't you dare judge Forks for theme-parking this notion. You would do the same, and your dream would still have its own sanctity. Your daughter is an embryonic Dolly Parton. America dreams for you, etcetera.)
We catch a ride with two Wisco kids down to Kalaloch Resort on the coast – their summertime Aramark gig - and nearly drive up the asshole of a deer as it bounds off the highway at the last minute while our driver changes the Ziggy Marley CD to something more Dead.
Next morning – the waitress says the 101 highway ahead is more "clear-cuts and trees" – a contradiction we've encountered plenty already. So we hop a bus to Quinault, then Humptulips.
We quickly discover Humptulips to be a profoundly creepy nexus of humanity – the stuff of Dean Koontz coffee beans breakfast and R.L. Stine's to-be-continued ellipses.
"I moved here twelve years ago," says the storekeeper in a clinical tone, like he's diagnosing an exotic cancer. "It's quiet here. Unfortunately, since the lumber work went, probably because of the Spotted Owl, the industry has died. It's mostly Hispanics now. Many people turned to the crank. I try not to judge. I see these people every day. Out of simple compassion, I can only see that some have chosen to take this path. It isn't my path. But I see it every day. And it's sad. These are capable men. Good men. You know, out here, I don't worry about things. Not like in Seattle. I moved my family out here for a more simple life. I don't worry about your regular city crime. That isn't it. But we have our things like anybody else. Just last year, there was a murder across the street. One block from here. A man was shot in the back with a crossbow. Then they killed his wife with a hatchet. Well, I shouldn't say 'they.' It was one man. He killed her with a hatchet."
A slow silence as we check out our landjeagers and fire paste and sundries.
"Drugs?" I offer.
"He just lost it," the man says, still both entirely involved and removed like a dentist.
"He just lost it."
These words follow us to the campsite down the street, as marked by our bike guide book from 2005.
The site, evidently, is entirely abandoned – the bathrooms overgrown and the cabins full of garbage and the only sound a horror movie sine-wave moan from the overhead metal-halide lamp buzzing into the surreal Humpulips clouded sunset night.
We bike away, west.
Note - Shit gets way better, but I don't have time to write about it now. We are safe and sound in cosmopolitan Ocean Shores, Washington – the kite flying and razor claming capitol of the state – and we've some fine tales to tell. Stand by for the next installment.

My poor mom is hobbling around with a broken ankle, so I'm going to make my parents dinner this Saturday. My dad eats pretty low-carb and paleo-ish, and we'd love for mom to get on board- she just got put on cholesterol and BP meds, smokes, has early osteoporosis and looves her bread. She's receptive to a lot of the info I share with her, but is also pretty set in her ways!
My question is this- if you were planning to make a dinner and you wanted to show off how delicious paleo food can be, what would you make?

Apologetics - from the Greek "apologia," a legal term meaning "defense" - is the branch of Christian theology concerned with the intelligent presentation and defense of the historical Christian faith.
The Bible says:
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you ...
- Source: 1 Peter 3:15 NKJV
The word translated as 'defense' (some translations have 'answer') in that verse is the Greek apologia:
"Answer" is the Greek apologia, from which we get our word "apologetics," meaning the careful, logical defense of the Christian faith against the attacks of its adversaries, showing its validity as the true saving gospel of God, our Creator and Savior.
In effect, Peter is admonishing believers to be always prepared to give an apologetic for the faith, especially when confronted by those who deny it and would destroy it if they could. This surely means that there is an effective apologetic that can be given, and it is each Christian's responsibility to study (2 Timothy 2:15) and be ready to give it when needed.
In contrast, the unbeliever is "without excuse" (Romans 1:20), "without an apologetic." His faith is strictly based on credulity and wishful thinking, not historical and scientific evidence like that for the Christian faith.
- Source: Defenders Study Bible
Apologetics deals with challenges from both outside and inside the Church.
Christianity is under attack today, and it must be defended.
There are attacks from within--from cults, sects, and heresies. And there are attacks from without--atheists, skeptics, and other religions. The discipline that deals with a rational defense of the Christian Faith is called apologetics. It comes from the Greek word apologia (cf. 1 Peter 3:15) which means to give a reason or defense.
- Source: The Need For Defending The Faith by Norman Geisler.
The late Greg Bahnsen, who was an apologist, put it this way:
By studying the objections of unbelievers and preparing to reason with them, we take the high road of apologetics, the road of obedience to the direction of our Lord and Savior. His categorical claim was "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
The apologist responds to the objections of unbelievers in a way which sets forth the objective truth of Christianity and the exclusive character of the system. He or she offers reasons for belief, vindicating the Christian worldview over against competing systems of thought and living.
- Source: Anwering Objections by Greg Bahsen
Apologetics ministry has a dual purpose:
The book, Five Views on Apologetics, edited by Steven B. Cowan, lets the reader compare and contrast different ways of "doing" apologetics:
The goal of apologetics is to persuasively answer honest objections that keep people from faith in Jesus Christ. But of several apologetics approaches, which is most effective?
Five Views on Apologetics examines the "how to" of apologetics, putting five prominent views under the microscope. Classical, Evidential, Presuppositional, Reformed Epistemology, and Cumulative Case. Offering a forum for presentation, critique and defense, this book allows the contributors for the different viewpoints to interact.
- Source: Back Cover, Five Views on Apologetics
On the following page you will find an excerpt of the book's introductory chapter, outlining five prominent apologetics methodologies.

I'm slowly working through some long overdue stuff. Contact info has been updated. Some changes in the wordpress software have been made. Now I'm working through the sidebar links.
Today's your chance to make your browsing easier (and help me out). If you've got any GENERAL MINOR LEAGUE SITES that you think warrant attention, leave them in the comments. I'll take things related to the draft or to the minors in at large.

As far as I can tell, libertarianism has completely fell for Political Correctness (PC). The problem with PC is its intentionally wide and vague nondefinitions of such things as "racism", "racists", "anti-Semitic", "anit-semitism", "homophobia", "sexist" and "being anti-gay", etc.
And as far as I can tell, libertarians have either sat on their hands or worse, joined in on the Ron Paul Newsletter bashing that ensued from the neoliberal and ultra PC police mag, The New Republic (TNR). Indeed it was Reason Mag who "broke the story" just a week ahead of the all important New Hampshire primary in 2008. Reason has been no fan of Ron Paul and his newsletters and they took the opportunity to prove their PCness and "out" Ron Paul as some kind of racist, using the liberal rags smear. What TNR had done was dig threw 20 years of newsletters and pull out about 12 sentences that they then point at as "racist", "anti-semitic" and "anti-gay".
Now in the 1980's Political Correctness had not won the day nationally until two rather important court cases against companies for the crime of "being racist or sexist. That caused companies everywhere to go back and rewrite their company policies and procedures manuals for fear of being sued. Those legal wins gave PC a leg up, but libertarianism like everyone else, had a choice to make, go with it, or fight it. Reason and Cato and perhaps the LP I think chose to go with it. What was admirable was that Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul did not. They fought the good fight. I read those newsletters during those years and found nothing wrong with them, indeed I am indebted to them. More on that later. But by 1990 after Jesse Jackson's democratic Rainbow coalition run and in 1995 during Clinton American public went fully PC. That left the RP newsletters all alone fighting the good fight I think. What then followed were a series of laws and rullings all based upon these vague and wide open definitions resulting in "mandatory cultural sensitivity training classes" order by courts and "Hate Crime" laws (thought crime). PCness usurped regular language in a whole new Orwellian anti-language entered the lexicon whereby no one could call a spade a spade. "Garbageman" was "Waste-disposal technician", and so forth. Old names like "Stewardess" and "Actress" went by the way side all under the banner of Political Correctness. It seemed to escape libertarians the this Orwellian language was restricting thought.
Now I know Ron Paul as a politician seeking to win his Congressional seat had to politically survive this and disavow and apologize for the "crime" but what bothers me most is that no libertarian took up the fight against PCness itself. Some may have, but I am unaware of what they wrote or said.
And here is the meat of my contention with my fellow libertarians: They do not defend the RP Newsletters as NOT racist, antisemitic, or anti gay.
Lets take 3 of the often quoted RP newsletter remarks taken out of context by the liberal TNR look at them:
A) "95 % of black men in Washington DC are criminal or semi-criminal"
B) "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions."
C) "If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how incredible fleet of foot (fast) he can be".
Reason and TNR's smear attempt works because libertarians as a group accept the PC premise and I think fail to have well defined definitions themselves.
But when we put A & B back into context, it becomes clear there is nothing "racist" about them. Context and knowing the readership is very important. The Readership does not like drug laws and considers black market activity as something that all should be legalized. This is very important to understand when knowing what is said. Here is the whole quote:
"Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among
blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5%
of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market,
individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. I know
many who fall into this group personally and they deserve credit--not as
representatives of a racial group, but as decent people. They are,
however, outnumbered. Of black males in Washington, D.C, between the ages
of 18 and 35, 42% are charged with a crime or are serving a sentence,
reports the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives. The Center
also reports that 70% of all black men in Washington are arrested before
they reach the age of 35, and 85% are arrested at some point in their
lives. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal
justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males
in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
Now if I said to a libertarian audience, "I think we can safely assume that 95% of the drivers on our freeways are lawbreakers"..... You know that I am talking about the fact that we all routinely break the 55 mph limit. You know I am condemning the govt's law, and in the same way above, you know that the writer is condemning the government's black market laws.
Now lets address C). But before I do that let me suggest to you this definition: Racism is the disparagement of an ethnic group's (real or imagined) negative traits and using that as a call for LEGAL discrimination.
So let me put out several sentences for you and YOU then tell me which is "Racists".
A) "If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how incredible fleet of foot (fast) he can be".
B) "If you have ever ran away from a white middle aged cop, you know that after 50 yards you are home free."
C) "You know Black People don't ice skate. Brothas just don't skate."
D) "English people always have such poor teeth, why is that?"
E) "Black people always have such nice big white teeth. They simply have the prettiest teeth among all the ethnic races of man really."
F) "Black people are so criminal, they are naturally tricky, evil, dirty, smelly, there is hardly a decent one among them, and so the laws in this country should make them all live in another part of the city."
G) ""We are constantly told its evil to be afraid of black men, that's hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, muggings, out of proportion to their numbers".
H) "Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks"
I) "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions"
J) "I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal".
K) "Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market,
individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. I know many who fall into this group personally and they deserve credit--not as representatives of a racial group, but as decent people. They are,however, outnumbered. Of black males in Washington, D.C, between the ages
of 18 and 35, 42% are charged with a crime or are serving a sentence, reports the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives. The Center also reports that 70% of all black men in Washington are arrested before they reach the age of 35, and 85% are arrested at some point in their
lives. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
WELL... What was your answer? Which was "racists"? The answer is F) and that statement DID NOT come from the Ron Paul Newsletters.
Notice I did not ask which one "offended" you or which one was "bias" or "bigoted" or "mistaken", I asked you, which one was "racists"? If you are Politically Correct liberal like those liberals at The New Republic, you might say they all are racist! Then why do they change their answer based upon WHO is saying it? Charles Barkley on The Daily Show explained to John Stewart that "brothas don't skate". It got a laugh, Its a generality that is mostly true and rarely spoken. Now if that sentence had been in the Ron Paul "racist" newsletter, white Politically Correct liberals would be screaming in "horror" and "disgust". Why? Cause they THINK they know what racism is and they THINK 'they know black people' (to quote Dave Chappelle.)
There is only ONE racist sentence above. The rest of the sentences are simple generalities and these generalities may be true or false. Black teenage robbers may be fast, at least the ones that don't get caught!. White Middle aged cops are pretty out of shape and 50 yards is pushing it in my opinion. But of course not everyone is the same and of course, its just a generality that may or may not be true. Neither statement is "racists".
For D and E, I just made those up. Ron Paul did not say them, I did. They are simply my general observations. While I prefer nice white teeth, that does not mean I call for locking up or LEGALLY DISCRIMINATING UPON THE ENGLISH RACE because of their "bad teeth". Nor do I call for special legal treatment in favor of black people because of their good teeth.
G This is a good point, if some ethnic groups statistically, committing crimes far in excess of their proportion numbers, when does it make sense to be a afraid? Certainly one must have 'street smarts' about oneself and not naively approach everyone equally. Yet the Ron Paul INVESTMENT newsletter, talking about the increased inner city crimes (Jessie Jackson was talking about this too at the time) simply said it. It was not "Politically Correct" in 2012, but after the LA and Chicago riots in early 1990's with crack cocaine hitting cities hard, its not an unreasonable statement.
H. Now order MAY have been restored after the Rodney King rioting when it came time for blacks to pick up their welfare checks, but I thought is was the National Guard that did that. Its an assertion of fact, a fact that I think is not true, and so perhaps that was an "over the top" statement, but racist? Not. There is no disparagement calling for legal discrimination.
I and J are the most pulled sentences from the Ron Paul INVESTMENT newsletter. I emphasize "investment" because to listen to the Media's pre-conviction, it was the Ron Paul "racist" newsletters, as if THAT WAS ITS SUBJECT! Now I can agree with anyone, taken all alone, those two sentences seem bigoted and biased. Not racist because those two sentences are not disparaging ethnic traits (real or imagined) and using that to call for legal discrimination. So I and J seem bad, but take a look at the last one, K). K is the WHOLE QUOTE, all in context. And here you will see what a disservice it was by the liberal rag The New Republic for dropping the CONTEXT. By "reasonable opinion", the writer spells out what he means:, support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. Yes that is true, few blacks support such things. Now The New Republic you can see, INTENTIONALLY dropped this context to MAKE IT look "racist" as defined by them, the Politically Incorrectness Police.
So notice, all the statements that came from the Ron Paul Newsletters where NOT racist.
But there was ONE racist statement, and that one was F). F) DID NOT COME FROM THE RON PAUL NEWSLETTERS. It was inserted here just to show what a racist statement is. Racism: The disparagement of an ethnic groups (real or imagined) traits for the purpose of gaining LEGAL discrimination. F fits all that. F is clearly a RACIST sentence. And again, THAT sentence or one like it was never found in the Ron Paul newsletters.
So what must be done? First Black people need to tear away the POLITICS of racism from the Politically Correct Liberals who are using the racist charge much too broadly and wide and vaguely. Its now a smear, and in time it may just be a meaningless smear. The New Republic has a vested interest in WIDE and VAGUE definitions; it helps push their liberal cause. But that does not make it right, even if you agree with the liberal cause. They have successfully used it so much that Free Speech is now under attack from intense political correctness for fear of "offending somebody". Being offended is NOT the definition of what is and what is not "racist". Hitler was racist because he both disparaged Jews as cockroaches and dehumanized them to gain LEGAL discrimination. The KKK with their WHITE POWER does the same thing, disparaging black characteristics to make the claim to gain LEGAL discrimination and Legal Separation. This is racism. But if we widen that to the point that it just means that some minority somewhere was offended by some majority person, then the seriousness of the offense of racism is soon lost.
So stick up for Ron Paul. His newsletters called a spade a spade and did not mince words. They were appalled at inner city crimes and appalled that crimes and race was used to confuse the issue. The Ron Paul newsletters where not about Racism, they were for 20 years about investments and politics at large. But if The New Republic pulls things out of context and holds it up to the light of political correctness DURING A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, we need to say HOLD ON HERE ONE MINUTE. You may be using the claim or charge of Racism for your own purpose. That purpose to discredit a man. A man who as it turns out during those years was not really writing them. He was delivering 2000 babies. Nevertheless, he has apologized for the offense and disavowed those words. But we owe it to ourselves to see WHO really is this man and what is his true nature. Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nRHPcVy ... ture=share and we should see who really did write those words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE9VXaRY ... ture=share Most of all, if Ron Paul is to debate President Obama, it may just those TNR liberals who fear it would go like this OBAMA VS PAUL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMSEah00 ... ture=share

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi boosted the euro with his pledge to do what's needed for the euro zone. Here's how to trade the tough talk.
Mario Draghi sure knows how to move the euro. When Draghi, the European Central Bank president, pledged to do what's necessary to preserve the euro zone, the common currency jumped, taking other risk-sensitive currencies with it.
Paul Richards, head of global FX at UBS, is impressed. With Draghi's comments coming just a week before a European Central Bank meeting, "it was a very good reminder to the market that he does mean business," Richards told CNBC's Scott Wapner.
Once the euro settles down from its instant reaction to the tough talk, Richards expects it to enter a trading range until next Thursday's ECB meeting. He pegs the likely range at 1.2170, roughly the euro's level before Draghi's comments, and 1.2370.
But overall, in the wake of the Draghi pledge, Richards likes a risk-on trade. He wants to buy the Australian dollar against the dollar at 1.0390, setting a stop at 1.0260 and a target of 1.0650.

As a field of study, business ethics aims to specify the principles under which businesses must operate to behave ethically. Thus business ethics focuses on such issues as those that have recently attracted so much public scrutiny: executive compensation, honesty in accounting, transparency, treatment of stakeholders, and respect for the environment. These are, in fact, perennial questions that accompany the long history of human economic activity and that will also be present through an indeterminate future. The five volumes of this ultimate resource recognize the inherent unity between business ethics and business and society, that stems from their shared primary concern with value in commerce. This Encyclopedia spans the relationships among business, ethics, and society by including more than 800 entries that feature broad coverage of corporate social responsibility, the obligation of companies to various stakeholder groups, the contribution of business to society and culture, and the relationship between organizations and the quality of the environment.
"This timely work features leading experts discussing the relationship among business, ethics, and society in more than 800 entries on topics like antitrust laws, ethical issues of bankruptcy, corporate accountability, insider trading, and Ponzi schemes."

From their inception as an acoustic folk trio, Vancouver's MOTHER MOTHER has definitely become a force to be reckoned with. Challenging the conventions of popular music this tenacious and eccentric five piece band have cultivated a sound uniquely their own. And, man, has it worked. Singles "Body of Years", "The Stand", "Baby Don't Dance" and their latest "Let's Fall in Love" have torn up the Canadian charts.
MOTHER MOTHER is definitely poised to reach truly ground-breaking heights, blasting through milestones. Check out their mind-blowing list of accolades. "Oh My Heart" spent six weeks at #1 on Campus Radio Canada (2008), was rated Top 5 Best Overall Album on iTunes Canada (2008) and the 6th most added album on CMJ's Top 20 on release week. "Body of Years" landed in the Top 10 at Canadian Alternative Rock and Modern Rock Radio (2009) also earning two Casby Award Nominations (2009) as well as a Canadian Radio Music Award Nomination (2010). Across the pond, "Oh My Heart" captured Record Of The Week on BBC 2's Radcliffe & Maconie Show (2010) and inclusion in Q Magazine's Q50 (2010). Spin Magazine says, "MOTHER MOTHER coos lovely boy-girl harmonies, masking their dire lyrics while slyly exulting in the cleansing blaze."
The fame - or perhaps notoriety - of MOTHER MOTHER is due in large part to their remarkable live performances. This group of five delivers big sound with pristine vocal harmonies accompanied by a wide variety of multi-instrumental talent from keyboard and synth to horns and electronics. It all culminates in "music with an unbending backbone and multidimensional soundscape".

Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd's Samsung Super Bowl Ad Teaser
Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd can do no wrong when they are in front of the camera, in my opinion. Samsung, who seemingly has an endless marketing budget, landed the two actors to appear in their Super Bowl commercial. They released a teaser on Thursday and it is pretty hilarious and finally answered my question on why brands always say "The Big Game" instead of Super Bowl. You...

U.S. auto safety regulators are checking up on whether rental car agencies are keeping their fleets, totalling nearly three million vehicles, in safe shape
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website this week it would review records from General Motors, Chrysler (managed by Fiat) and Ford on compliance with recall fixes.
NHTSA said it became aware in recent months of crashes, some of them fatal, involving rental vehicles included in recalls issued to remedy safety defects.
The agency did not list any crash, injury or fatality details relating to its audit.
NHTSA said the Federal Trade Commission has been asked to prohibit certain rentals if required repairs have not been completed.

I appreciate how sexually confused he is. He loaded his leotard with a bag of Cheetos to make his junk look bigger thinking that the ladies like men with big cocks. He's right–but but he's gay. And I don't think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that gay dudes care how big junk is… I'm thinking the smaller the better, right?
Though maybe he knows he's gay and just added the Cheeto-cock-bulge so he could see it from the atop the giant diabetic globule that he calls "me."

Marketplace Index for Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Episode Teaser Image:
Episode Description:
For all the breathless coverage of Black Friday sales this year, the official retail sales data for November came out today and it was, in a word, 'blah.' Retail sales rose just 0.2 percent. Some of the sharpest minds on the subject were predicting the rise would be three times that amount.
Despite reports, odds still stacked against job seekers
A recent report from the Department of Labor has job listings up sharply over two years prior, but with unemployment at 8.6 percent, job openings are not plentiful.
November retail sales disappoint

Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Sen. Feinstein: Leak in underwear bomb case must be prosecuted
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that those responsible for leaking information this week on a thwarted attempt to bring down an American airplane using an undetectable underwear bomb must be prosecuted.
"The leak really did endanger sources and methods," she said on Fox News Sunday. "The leak, I think has to be prosecuted."
The senator said the leak to AP "jeopardizes" the agent and that it could not have come from Congress since she and House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) had not been briefed on the operation.
RELATED: Obama: Intel agents were on top of bomb plot 'the entire time'
Feinstein said it was "an impressive win for the CIA," but at this point she does not have confidence that U.S. airport screeners will be able to prevent a terrorist attack using the new bomb technology.
"I am hopeful we will be able to, candidly, kill this bomb-maker and some of his associates," she said.
Feinstein said that al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula is the "number one threat" to the U.S. at this point.

The Third Eye Chakra and the Pineal Gland
Author: Jessica T
The Third Eye Chakra and the Pineal Gland
If you are interested in opening your third eye chakra, then you should read this article.
The Third Eye Chakra
There are seven chakras in the kundalini chakra system and the third eye is the sixth and is located in the middle of the forehead, which will be your focal point in third eye meditation. The third eye is our connection to the spiritual world and it is the location of many different characteristics such as our connection to intuition and Higher Self, spiritual growth, inner awareness, getting ideas and psychic abilities.
Just like all the other chakras you have in your body, your third eye chakra can also be closed and therefore out of balance. This energy blockage can give you a feeling of confusion and chaos. You may also feel disconnected to your spiritual side and therefore cut off from one important part of your being. Feeling lost and having difficulties finding the right path is also a consequence of an unbalanced third eye chakra and therefore you will have a hard time seeing things clearly and know which way to go.
How to Open the Third Eye?
So how to open and balance your third eye chakra? Many people use meditation to heal the third eye, and any other chakra. Practicing third eye meditation can help you activate your third eye and reconnect you with your spiritual side. This may be great for some people, but others may not want to drag spiritual energies into their lives, and so they should not do the meditation. The third eye is one of the most mystical and unknown chakras and therefore one should be careful when working with it, as you do not know what will happen. Some people have had some extreme results such as seeing and hearing things that belong to the spiritual world. So maybe this type of meditation will make us more vulnerable to energies around us, and it will then be a good idea to learn how to protect ourselves against unwanted entities. So do some more research on the topic and learn more about it before you start opening it.
Many people believe that the third eye chakra is connected to the pineal gland, which is a small gland right in the middle of our brain. This gland is stimulated and activated by light and therefore it controls important biorhythms of the human body. Many consider the pineal gland to be a very powerful and important source of spiritual development and the key to psychic abilities. It is said that when the pineal gland is activated, it will be able to connect with spiritual dimensions. With the help of meditation we may be able to create a vibration that will allow us to connect with our spiritual side and astral body.
Third Eye Meditation
There are so many different third eye meditation exercises to open your third eye. Chanting meditation is one way to do is, which will help you create the right vibration that can resonate and stimulate your chakra and thereby open it. You can also try a third eye breathing exercise, where you will imagine yourself breathing through your chakra with a energized indigo coloured wind. Any technique that turns your focus and energy to the third eye area will stimulate it. But always remember to keep a positive mind and only focus on love and kindness. And also you should remember to relax during the meditation so that you will not get a headache.

It was a happy homecoming at Camp Pike on Saturday, but the 109 Marines who are back home know the fight is far from over.
Instead of fighting to stay alive, now they fight to readjust to everyday life.
It`s why the Marine Corps has a special program to get Marines back into the swing of things.
It`s called the Warrior`s Transition Briefing, and every Marine has to take part in it before they ever see family members again.
A chaplain leads Marines through a handful of potentially stress-inducing topics, like how long the transition should take and what kinds of changes the Marine should expect.
Marines like Sgt. Colin Gorman say the program was worth it and that now he just looks forward to catching up for lost time.

Ilya Island smells a little fishy
- Last Updated: 5:29 AM, July 6, 2010
- Posted: 3:29 AM, July 4, 2010
Just when The Summer of Ilya (Kovalchuk) was beginning to look like The Summer of George (Costanza), reports exploded late Friday night that the Islanders not only had joined the bidding for the free-agent winger, but were offering the exact $100 million commitment the New Jersey rental has been seeking.
Hmm. How very convenient. How very suspicious.
Look, maybe it's all legit. Maybe after two days of zeroing in on Type C free agents Mark Eaton, Milan Jurcina, P.A. Parenteau and Zenon Konopka, GM Garth Snow turned to team chairman Charles Wang and on a whim suggested they offer a fortune to Kovalchuk since nobody else was willing to come close to the winger's asking price.
Maybe it's true. Maybe the Islanders moved from the $1 slots to the VIP Baccarat Lounge. Maybe they are in this for real. Maybe there is a serious negotiation at hand even though Kovalchuk's objective going into free agency was to sign with a glamour/big-market team with a chance to win the Cup. Of course, his objective was to maximize his income, so maybe the opportunity to cash in has trumped all other considerations.
There is this, too: Kovalchuk is represented by Jay Grossman, one of the most circumspect agents in the business, an individual who never has been comfortable seeing numbers and speculation splashed around in the press. Two days of news blackouts for all intents and purposes, followed by this?
Again. Maybe it's real. Maybe this is more than an attempt to get free publicity. Maybe this is more than a fleeting attempt to create good will among the battered fan base. Maybe the Islanders will spend twice as much as anyone else seems to be offering this explosive goal-scoring machine because that's what they have to do in order to get a Type A (or is that Type Eh?) to come to the Island and become the new face of the Lighthouse movement.
If so, good for Wang, good for Snow, good for the Islanders. Kovalchuk isn't for everyone, but he most certainly was not the cause of the Devils' first-round demise, not even close.
Fact is that Kovalchuk's dynamic Game 2 represented the best single performance of New Jersey's out-with-a-whimper debacle against the Flyers. If Jacques Lemaire, who quickly fled the scene of the accident, hadn't chosen to publicly spay Kovalchuk following that match, things might even have been different.
It would be different if this is all for real and not for show. It would be different if Kovalchuk goes to the Island, where he's likely to be Lost even while commanding the spotlight. Very different.

One Way Apple Could Kill Its Empire
While hardcore fan boys and girls would happily shell out $600 for an iPhone, most iPhone owners might opt for another, less expensive device in the absence of a subsidy. At the very least, they might be less likely to take the plunge multiple times as Apple introduces new iterations of the smartphone.
Consider the following admittedly rough math. We can safely say that wireless carriers eat about $400 for each iPhone sold. On an estimate of 30 million iPhones sold per quarter, you're looking at about $12 billion in subsidies every three months. One report estimates that it costs Apple $196 to make an iPhone 4S.
10 Stocks Poised to Rise in Apple's Wake >>
In its most recent quarterly report, Apple credits iPhone with the company's impressive gross margin:
The gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2012 was 47.4% compared to 41.4% in the second quarter of 2011. The gross margin percentage for the first six months of 2012 was 45.9% compared to 39.9% in the first six months of 2011. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was largely driven by favorable sales mix towards products with higher gross margins, particularly iPhone, lower commodity and other product costs, and leverage of fixed costs on higher net sales.
