The capsized cruise liner Costa Concordia lies surrounded by cranes outside Giglio harbour May 14, 2013. Prosecutors rejected a plea bargain offer by the captain of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which capsized off Italy's west coast last year with the loss of 32 lives, lawyers said on Tuesday. Captain Francesco Schettino is accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship. He has admitted making mistakes but says he should not be the only one blamed for the disaster.

There are groups and student-run organizations that put on productions and reach out to members of the community to get involved.

When the regents appointed by Spain were expelled in the early part of the present century, republics were established, but they were republics only in name ; the people were neither educated nor fitted for self-government. Their presidents generally exercised the powers of dictators and often assumed that title. They have rarely enjoyed a long rule, for their power and position were sought by others. Revolution in these countries has passed from the acute to the chronic stage.
A recent traveller in Peru, who wished to inspect its railroad system, was informed that only 26 miles were in running order, the remainder being under the control of the revolutionists who were then less than 80 miles from the capital. He asked why the rebels did not take Lima, the capital, and was told, "because there is no unanimity among them ; they are suspicious of each other, and cannot depend upon any one man." Instead of being anxious to serve their country they are only interested in robbing her.
Another traveller in Bolivia, who witnessed some of these revolutions, says they sometimes occurred three times in as many weeks, and that it would have been ludicrous had not their results been often violent and tragic. There has been no settled government, no continued peace, no permanent policy, in any Spanish country. The hope for the future is that the English, German, and French population will increase and become permanently identified with the country ; they will then take an active interest in politics and direct the policy and administration of the government.
Commercial and banking business is in the hands of the French, Germans, and English. The Italians carry on a small trade at corner groceries and fruit stores ; the French keep the hotels and restaurants ; the English and Germans are the shippers, merchants and bankers.
Regular lines of English, French, and German steamers run from Europe to Panama and thence along the western coast of South America, stopping at ports en route ; some return by Panama, others sail around Cape Horn to Europe by Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro. Other lines run direct from Europe to Brazil, and twenty-four lines connect Europe and the Argentine Republic ; while there are only four lines of American steamers trading to South America.
We have given a general description of South America, but three countries—Brazil, the Argentine Republic and Peru require further notice : Brazil, because it is the largest country, occupying three-sevenths of South America, and the only considerable state that was not settled by the Spaniards ; the Argentine Republic, because it is the largest and most populous of the Spanish states and, with Peru, illustrates the political and financial phases through which the Spanish republics have passed.
The valley of the Amazon makes Brazil the most fertile region of the world. The tropical woods are so thick and the creepers and undergrowth so luxuriant that animal life is almost entirely confined to the trees above and the waters below.

American Mumbai plotter sentenced to 35 years
CHICAGO (AP) — Minutes before an American was sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping plan an attack on Mumbai, India, one of his victims tearfully pleaded for a harsh punishment despite the terrorist plotter's widespread cooperation with U.S. investigators following his arrest.
David Coleman Headley, 52, shifted uncomfortably in a gray tracksuit and kept his eyes fixed on the Chicago courtroom floor Thursday as he listened to an American children's author describe the violent chaos during her 2008 trip to India.
Bullets flew past her check and panicked diners dived under tables as gunmen burst into a hotel restaurant, executing people one by one, said Linda Ragsdale, almost shouting as she stood just a few feet from Headley during the sentencing hearing.

Talese's 'new sports journalism' now in one volume
Winning, that prevailing precept that crosses ethnic, religious, social and economic boundaries, defines American sports. That's why discourse on losers, among other topics, by a pre-eminent author, journalist and sports writer, delineates a counter dialectic.
The sports writing of distinguished author, Gay Talese, who years ago at The New York Times, defined what has become known as the "new journalism," has been collected in a new volume, "The Silent Season of a Hero," which spans 50 years of his best work.
The book begins with a modest sampling of Talese's early days at his local newspaper, but indicates the direction his curious mind will lead him in the 1966 title piece about legendary Yankees' hitter, "jolting" Joe DiMaggio, that appeared in Esquire, establishing his reputation as a story teller and redefining the celebrity portrait.
TALESE WILL read and sign books at 4 p.m. Sunday, at Oblong Books 422 Montgomery St., Rhinebeck.
Among the characteristics that limn Talese's writing is his attention to detail; nothing is sort-of, or almost. It is.
So, in a recent conversation from his home in New York City, Talese's wince could almost be heard over the phone line when asked about the "new" journalism. "I don't know how 'new' it is, since I've been practicing it for over 40 years," he responded thoughtfully. "I discovered the sports fiction of the very young Carson McCullers, as well as Irwin Shaw, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, as a teenager. I wanted to incorporate the narrative and other techniques of fiction writing into the non-fiction of sports writing." So, he did.
IN THE book's first chapter, "Short Shots in Sundry Sections," written in 1949 for Talese's first job at the Ocean City Sentinel-Ledger in Ocean City, N.J. where he grew up, he wrote the following: "If you think that Joe Verdeur, the invincible breast stroker, was born in a swimming pool, as an Infant Prodigy of the water, this will prove you to be no less than 100 percent wrong. Verdeur, believe it or not, was so afraid of the water that he didn't go near a pool until he was 15." Verduer may be long forgotten, but the reader gets a veritable snapshot of him.
TALESE'S WINCE could be heard again when asked about his preference to write about losers. "Well, 'loser' really brands them," he explained. "I was more interested in the life-embracing perseverance of the experience of losing, because it happens to all of us. We lose – a job, a marriage, a girlfriend, a life."
Talese said sports are a metaphor for a larger picture. "It's not just about a game. It's about life. We win. We lose. We half win. We half lose," he said.
Talese admitted that he was not a particularly good student and once flunked English. But, he observed, he was curious about everything, about the students who were better or worse scholars than he. Continued...
"I LEARNED early on, on the sidelines of both amateur and professional sports, that there's always someone in front or behind you - by a pace - that factors into winning or losing," Talese said. "And, losing in sports is a learning experience that occurs in a limited time and space. It's measured precisely. There are rules and scores. It's held in a physical place - a stadium or gym or on a field - for a specific time."
The immediacy of sports writing held a tantalizing allure for him as a young journalist at the Sentinel-Ledger and later at The New York Times. "Political reporters do not see the candidate. They get second-hand information. War correspondents are not at the front, they're not an eyewitness. Neither knows if the information they receive is true, or false."
TALESE SAID the landscape for sports reporting is wider and broader. "Sports writing is spontaneously, excitedly real. You're there. You saw it," he said. "And, after the game ends, you can go to the locker room and ask the player, 'Why?' 'Why not?' 'How come?' 'Didn't you see the ball in the sun?'"
Talese said the sport he most liked to report on was boxing. "You're sitting in the front row. You see the eyes of the fighter. You see the impact of the blows. You see his brain fade as he falls to the canvas, one eye open, the other closed. It's an astonishing sight to see a human being pulverized before your eyes," he said.
Talese started as a copy boy with The New York Times, moving into a sports slot in 1956 where he stayed for three years. He then moved into general assignment reporting, but still continued to write about sports.
"SPORTS WAS considered the 'toy department' at the time," he recalled with some amusement about The New York Times, adding that different standards applied to sports. "We did not use courtesy titles — Mr., Miss — just last names in second reference," he said. "Even gangsters got the courtesy of 'Mr,'" he said.
Talese said, however, that he had a lot of freedom with sports reporting and was able to escape journalism's rigidly-held 5 Ws (who, what, when, where and why) and one H (how) that dogged other reporters. After a while, he was able to persuade his editors that the narrative style he used was as valuable as the score and the winners.
"WE ARE story tellers. All people have a story to tell. That's what I want to write about," Talese said about his approach, what he calls "The art of hanging out." That is how he met DiMaggio – on a golf course. In the introduction, Talese tells a story about his caddy days. He was extraordinarily good at spotting lost golf balls – even the white ones that are harder to see. He got permission to follow DiMaggio's foursome on the course and recovered all the balls that went astray. That slowly earned him DiMaggio's respect.
IT DID not, however, immediately earn him an interview and Talese writes himself into the title chapter as "the man from New York." In a brief conversation at DiMaggio's restaurant overlooking the pier in San Francisco, the elegantly dressed, retired hitter is coldly polite and hands Talese back his airmail envelope with a request for an interview – unopened.
"'I have my privacy; I do not want it violated. ... "I do not interfere with other people's lives. And I do not expect them to interfere with mine. There are things about my life, personal things, that I refuse to talk about," DiMaggio told Talese. Then, he got into his blue Impala and drove away. Continued...
ONE OF those personal things was his former wife, Marilyn Monroe, whose death he mourned until he died. He ordered that fresh flowers be put on her grave, "forever." Talese, tipped off, never broached the subject directly with him.
The art of hanging out, and the influence of great fiction authors, was initially greeted with skepticism by Talese's editors. "When I was first at the Times, they thought they were reading fiction and wanted to know if I had made up the story!"
Eventually, they got it.
Talese said he prefers to write about athletes who are past their prime, like the heavyweight boxer, Floyd Patterson, who lived in New Paltz from 1965 until his death in 2006. "They have a history. They know something. They had won. They had lost. Good days and bad days. They had perspective."
PATTERSON, WHOM Talese thought was not the greatest fighter, was the one he knew most well, having followed his boxing career when he was a young and rising heavyweight contender, through numerous stories and interviews. "I must have written 30 articles on that one man," he said. "I had a deep understanding of him from being with him."
Talese could barely contain his annoyance with the higher standard of behavior expected of athletes in their private lives. He maintained that the personal lives of other performers, entertainers, artists or musicians, are not as thoroughly scrutinized as those of athletes.
"They're defined by their art, not their behavior," he said. "Athletes are human beings, after all, not models of human decency, a role that's been foisted on them by a vindictive, hypocritical, and venal public - and certain sports writers."
ASKED ABOUT the astonishing, multi-million dollar contracts that athletes receive, Talese said they earned them. "Not like those Wall Street gangsters! They (athletes) really earn it, by winning the game or the pennant - in the most intense situations."
Talese, who has been married for 51 years to his wife, Nan, editor of the Nan A. Talese/Doubleday imprint, (which, he noted with some irony, has never published one of his books) said they are embarking on a joint non-fiction venture about marriage — from his and her perspectives. "I've kept records," he said.
And, despite the dozen books and easily hundreds of articles, Talese said writing is still hard work. "It's never easy. It never comes easy," he said. "Every book is hard work and I never find it simple." Continued...
HE LIKENED writing to boxing. "You're alone in the rink. Just you. No one is there to back you or support you. It's up to you."
The paperback, published by Walker and Company, and edited by Michael Rosenwald, is in bookstores now.
Talese will read and sign books at Oblong Books, 422 Montgomery St., Rhinebeck, on Sunday at 4 p.m. Further information may be obtained by calling (845) 876-0500 or by visiting www.oblongbooks.com.

After a five week recess, including two weeks of political conventions, lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill last week with just a few days to address some outstanding issues. But with the general election cycle officially underway, it's clear some major pieces of legislation will have to wait until after November 6th. Erin Billups has more.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Lawmakers returned from summer recess last week with just eight session days to plow through some major bills.
"If sequestration goes into effect, America will compromise a legacy of superiority," California Representative Ken Calvert said.
Both houses addressing legislation with clear political messages.
Last week, the Republican-led House passed a bill that highlights what they call the President's failure to outline a plan to deal with the looming $109 billion in automatic cuts to defense and domestic spending, also known as the sequester.
"It's a charade this bill they have on the floor today. It just keeps making matters worse as the clock keeps ticking," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said.
In the Senate last week, Republicans blocked passage of the President's Veterans Jobs Bill, but Democratic leadership will continue pushing the measure this week. While threat of a government shutdown was averted, the Senate plans to pass the House bill that keeps government running this week, there are still major pieces of legislation that will fall victim to the highly political season, like the Farm Bill.
"At the moment, the leadership believes we don't have the votes to pass the bill. I respectfully disagree," Representative Chris Gibson said.
Congressman Gibson is one of 40 members from both sides of the aisle who've signed a letter to House leadership requesting once again that the long-term Farm Bill be brought to the floor for a vote before it expires on the 30th.
Gibson said, "It is a big deal. It's important to our farmers. It's our duty to do this. We had a strong bipartisan vote in committee, 35 to 11."
Still, House republican leadership will likely bring a one year extension of the Farm Bill to the floor, pushing instead for a livestock disaster aid bill.
"The livestock drought issue is something we do have in common," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said.
"What is holding them back? Maybe it is an assumption that they need to wait until after an election and that, that in fact becomes their political motivation and it comes to a cost to farmers all across the country," Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro said.
While the current Farm Bill expires at the end of the month, funding for most programs doesn't actually dry up until late 2013.

Room Feeling
Less is more – not many switches take this credo as seriously as the Berker TS Sensor. The extremely flat cover, reduced surface design and operation at the soft touch of a button represent an appealing "less" in terms of design. On the other hand, its inner workings now have many "more" convenient functions and options to offer. The new Berker TS Sensor with room thermostat can now control KNX/EIB functions, such as heating, air-conditioning or ventilation. The built-in display shows room temperature, outside temperature, time and additional functions. Simple icons symbolise all the functions which can be controlled and the display also has a discreet design. The result is that the Berker TS Sensor combines "less" in size with a luxurious "more" in convenience.
- Glass surfaces in black, alu or polar white
- Operation of all room temperature functions with two sensor fields
- 2gang and 3gang variants available
- Labelling via Berker Online-Configurator
- Integrated bus coupling unit (BCU)
- Integrated temperature sensor, connection of external temperature sensor
- Full KNX/EIB functionality

A Newberry officer was shot overnight.
Two Newberry Police officers were responding to a domestic call between 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and midnight when shots came through a door. The call was at 2405 Fulmer Ave. which was between Pope, College and Nance streets.
After the suspect, William Blair Frazier, 30, of 2405 Fulmer Ave., Newberry, fired the weapon through the door a projectile struck one of the officers in the arm and the officer was taken for medical treatment at a Midlands hospital.
Around 2 a.m. Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said the officer that was injured appears to be fine and a Newberry Police Department statement said the officer is in stable condition this morning.
A host of area law enforcement converged on the area around Hillcrest, Fulmer and Reid streets near the Oakland area and between Nance and College streets.
Officers that responded came from the Newberry County Sheriff's Office, S.C. Highway Patrol, and the S.C. Law Enforcement Division.
Also the S.C. Law Enforcement Division SWAT team was called to the area.
Officers converged on the the house and a perimeter was quickly established, according to Newberry Police Captain Kevin Atkins.
SLED agents tried for several hours to contact Frazier without success, said Atkins.
Around 3 a.m. a SLED robot entered the residence and found the resident to be deceased.
Newberry Coroner Craig Newton has listed the cause of Frazier's death as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officers repeatedly tried to make contact with the subject, who was reportedly still in the house.
A couple minutes before 3 a.m. the situation was under control.
As in all cases in the state where an officer is involved in a shooting, SLED has been called to investigate the incident.
The identity of the officers involved in the shooting have not been released.
Newberry police thanks all the agencies that assisted with the incident.
"The department asks that everyone keeps the injured officer in their thoughts and prayers," said Newberry Police Chief Jackie Swindler.

Conrad Smith's reputation as the glue in the All Blacks' backline faces a litmus test against Argentina on Saturday.
The veteran centre smiles at expectations that his inclusion alone will resolve the attacking errors that dogged the All Blacks in their twin victories over Australia.
Making his playing return after eye surgery seven weeks ago, Smith said his sight was still not perfect but he felt able to play his part in a more composed New Zealand performance against the Pumas on Saturday.
"If I was pistol shooting or something like that it would a bit of a concern but, in terms of running around, I don't notice it all," Smith said, before talking up the attitude of the players this week.
"We've talked about gelling together a wee bit more.
"It's about trying to use the players around you rather than trying to do too much yourself."
Nobody does that better than Smith, the consummate team man since his All Blacks debut eight years ago, whose return is timely following the departure of Sonny Bill Williams to Japan.
He reunites with another 30-year-old, Ma'a Nonu, in the midfield for their 36th Test start together and first since the World Cup final.
"It would be silly of us to expect it's just going to go back to the same old," Smith said.
"But the good thing when you've played with someone for a long time, you understand things. Certainly, we've got a head start, it's not like it's a fresh combination."
Because of their innate understanding, Smith said he could concentrate on his own game and dispel any nerves about not having played for nearly two months.
"You rely on experience there. I've had a break from the game before and it's never affected me too badly," he said.
"And I've got a pretty simple way of playing the game. I just try to run round as much as possible and talk the whole game and help the guys around me.
"I've been doing that for the seven-eight years that I've been playing. It never really changes."

Erik Kratz hoping to make sizable impact again
CLEARWATER, Fla. — It was a breezy day at the Carpenter Complex, and the chilly gusts were making the balls fly best on Schmidt Field during the first day of full-squad workouts for the Phillies Saturday.
That said, Erik Kratz wasn't in need of much assistance as the oak-sized veteran catcher smoked ball after ball in the general direction of U.S. 19.
At 6-4, 255, Kratz is a house of a man. And after coming up big for the Phillies as they tried in vain to make up ground in the second half of the season, he went from a 30-something with more than a decade of minor-league experience and a pair of fleeting cups of coffee in the majors, to the guy expected to be the starter behind the plate for most of April.
Just don't try to convince Kratz that the starting job is his while Carlos Ruiz serves a 25-game suspension for twice testing positive for a banned drug. When you're 32 and have never broken camp as a big-leaguer, you don't take much for granted.
"I don't think I've allowed myself to believe it for the simple fact that I've never been in that situation," said Kratz, a native of Lansdale and graduate of Christopher Dock High. "It's something that's there and I'm aware of the situation, but I can't say, 'Well, three years ago this happened, so I'll prepare this way.' I'll just prepare the same way.
"I've never gone into a spring training going, 'Man, it's going to be great going to the minor leagues!' I always go in thinking I'm going to make the team, that I can show them. And maybe that's naïve, but that's just how I've always gone into it, even when I've been the first cut in camp."
Kratz gave the Phillies faith in his capability when Ruiz went to the disabled list in early August last season with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. During the month Ruiz was on the disabled list, Kratz made 24 starts and hit .271 with six home runs and 18 RBIs. The Phillies went 15-9 in his starts, including 6-0 when he homered, as many of them came in crucial spots. The last homer he launched during Ruiz's absence was a solo shot to lead off the ninth inning against Braves closer Craig Kimbrel, who had a 1.01 ERA and allowed just 27 hits in 62Î innings for the season. The Phillies would win that game in 10 innings and it highlighted the late-season push that got the Phils within three games of the final wild-card berth before they faded in the final two weeks.
While the homers offered a thrill and gave Charlie Manuel something he wants in a backup catcher, what really crystallized confidence in Kratz was his work behind the plate. The pitchers, who for years have fawned over Ruiz, performed well with Kratz receiving and shared their faith in him with the coaching staff. It also helped that Kratz had a stellar year throwing out would-be base stealers, cutting down 15 of 33 attempts.
"He's worked a long time to get to the big leagues," Manuel said of Kratz. "And he's definitely earned his way here. Our pitchers got used to him last year, and that experience was good for him. He is a good defensive catcher, throws the ball good, and he can hit the ball out of the yard. It's good to have Kratzy right now."
l l l Continued...
NOTES: Set-up reliever Mike Adams had another strong session on the mound Friday, and the veteran right-hander, who had surgery to remove a rib in the offseason to solve a circulation and nerve problem in his pitching arm, again was told he didn't have to overdo it so early. ... Right-hander Mike Stutes, who had shoulder surgery that scrapped his 2012 season after six appearances, said all was well after his mound session, even though his control seemed sketchy and prompted bullpen coach Rod Nichols to have a chat with him in the middle of his work. There is a good chance Stutes, who has options remaining, will start the season in the minors so he can get innings in to shake the rust accrued from a lack of game action. ... Left-handed reliever Raul Valdes had a light session off the mound, as he's being eased back after popping a hamstring during the Dominican Winter League season. ... Many in the organization had to get dressed up after the workout to attend the wedding of public-relations director Greg Castrioto later in the afternoon. ... The Phils have a intrasquad scrimmage at noon Friday that will be free and open to the public.

National Endowment for the Arts Kicks Off Largest Tour of Shakespeare in United States HistoryFrom Old London to New London, Unprecedented Shakespeare in American Communities Program Begins 100 City Tour with Othello at Connecticut College September 17, 2003
The National Endowment for the Arts and The Sallie Mae Fund, in cooperation with Arts Midwest, kick off Shakespeare in American Communities with a performance of Othello by Aquila Theatre Company in New London, Connecticut the weekend of September 19. Shakespeare in American Communities is the largest theatrical tour of Shakespeare in our nation's history. The tour will bring professional productions of Shakespeare to more than 100 small and mid-sized communities in all 50 states. Laura Bush and Motion Picture Association of America President and CEO Jack Valenti will serve as the project's honorary chairs. "A great nation deserves great art," said National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Dana Gioia. "We are proud to present to America performances of the highest caliber by the greatest playwright in the English language. Shakespeare in American Communities exemplifies the Arts Endowment's commitment to artistic excellence, arts access to all Americans and leadership in arts education." Connecticut College of New London, Connecticut begins its 2003-2004 On Stage at Connecticut College series in grand fashion, hosting the inaugural production of this monumental initiative. In the debut performance, Aquila Theatre Company will present the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello on Friday, Sept. 19 and Saturday, Sept. 20, 2003 at 8 p.m. in Palmer Auditorium. Tickets are $26, $21 and $16 for adults; $23.50, $19 and $14 for seniors; and $13, $10.50 and $8 for students. For tickets and information, call 860-439-ARTS (2787) or go to www.onstage.conncoll.edu. For Shakespeare in American Communities, six professional theater companies will tour the country from September 2003 through November 2004. The participating companies and the works they will perform include (a full listing of the participating theaters and venues to date is attached):
In addition to performances, the tour will include artistic and technical workshops, symposia about the productions and educational programs in local schools. The Arts Endowment has developed an educational resource packet for teachers that includes a teacher's manual, recitation booklet, brochure for students, timeline poster, audio CD, educational video and bookmark. In New London, Aquila Theatre Company will present a matinee performance for students from seven Connecticut schools on Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. "Connecticut College is honored to kick off what will be a fantastic national tour of Shakespeare's works," said Robert A. Richter, director of arts programming, Connecticut College. "The Arts Endowment's Shakespeare in American Communities initiative has created a platform enabling us to reach out to a broader audience, particularly high school students. It is our hope that we can enhance the teaching of literature for students by providing an opportunity for them to see live theater." The Sallie Mae Fund is underwriting "The Sallie Mae Fund Free Seats for Students" program. In each city of the Shakespeare in American Communities tour, 50 complimentary tickets will be given to deserving high school students and their parents or chaperones to enjoy the performance. "The Sallie Mae Fund is proud to sponsor this impressive endeavor to share the works of one of the world's most celebrated artists with communities throughout the United States," said Susan Corsini, Chairman, The Sallie Mae Fund. The National Endowment for the Arts: The mission of the National Endowment for the Arts is to enrich our nation and its diverse cultural heritage by supporting works of artistic excellence, advancing learning in the arts, and strengthening the arts in communities throughout the country. Established by Congress in 1965, the Arts Endowment is an independent agency of the federal government and is the largest annual funder of the arts. Since then, it has awarded more than 120,000 grants in all 50 states and the six U.S. jurisdictions. For more information about Shakespeare in American Communities or the Arts Endowment please visit www.arts.gov.

Symptoms of an Aneurysm
Topic Overview
It is normal to feel a throb at the site where you take a pulse to check your heart rate. As the heart forces blood through your body, you can feel a throbbing in the arteries wherever they come close to the skin surface, such as the wrist, neck, or upper arm.
An aneurysm is a bulging section in the wall of a blood vessel and causes a throbbing pulse where the blood vessels has become stretched out and thin. This area of the blood vessel bulges out, is weak, and may cause bleeding when it bursts or ruptures. Aneurysms most often affect the large artery in the chest and abdomen (aorta) and arteries that supply the brain, heart, and legs.
Although it is not unusual to have an aneurysm without other symptoms, common symptoms include:
- Back pain or abdominal pain.
- A pulsating lump in the abdomen.
- A pulsating lump behind the knee or in the groin. The leg may turn pale and become swollen and blue.
- Headache. Reference Stroke Opens New Window may occur if an aneurysm in the brain bursts (ruptures).
Prompt evaluation and treatment can prevent an aneurysm from bursting. Death from loss of blood can occur quickly if an aneurysm bursts.

Posted in Faith & Worship
"'When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?'- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat. The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: 'I will never forget anything they have done.'" Amos 8:5-7 NIV
Can you remember a time when most of the stores stayed closed on Sunday out of respect for family worship time? There was a time when you had to remember to fill up on Saturday because the full service gas station would be closed when you wanted to take your Sunday trip. Do you remember a time when people were proud of the "Made in America" on goods because they were good quality? There were small appliance repair shops because it was worth getting an item fixed rather than replaced.
Times have changed and the words of the prophet Amos sound like the kind of society we have become. Even religion for some has become nothing more than moving in the right circles, buying respectability, and assuring that if there is a God ,they will be found acceptable because they made donations. If the church service is too long, people complain. They have more important things to do.
The actions of the nation of Israel were remembered by God. When the time came, the nation was utterly destroyed by their enemies and all they treasured was lost.
The good news for us is that God can forget. Jesus blocks the memories of our sins so that God can say, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more (Hebrews 8:12 NIV)." I think it is time for us to remember. See you in church!

In Part I, we discussed four signs that we are in bubble territory – in both stocks and bonds – plus all of the usual rationalizations that accompany bubbles. In truth, there are many more signs which we'll discuss further here, and I want to go deeper into the data exploring the warning signs in the equity and bond markets.
I want to spend time cataloging and explaining my reasoning because when bubbles burst, it's traumatic for everyone, but especially those that aren't prepared.
Further, these bubbles are so large that it's useful to employ historical analogues to weigh them against and parse for clues as to just how bad developments could get.
What we do at Peak Prosperity is track the big picture. We look at the macro risks and trends, and try to figure out what's coming next. Over the long haul. we have very little doubt that several decades of debt accumulation partnered with structurally higher oil prices will result in anything other than reduced standards of living for most people.
And that's if everything goes smoothly.
At the other end of the spectrum lies the potential for currency, political, and fiscal crises, the likes of which have never been seen before, given the global nature of the situation.
Leaving oil prices aside for the moment, in purely economic terms, living beyond one's means now necessitates living below one's means later on. Whether that period of negative adjustment is the same length and depth, shorter and deeper, or longer and shallower is open to question. But I'm leaning towards 'shorter and deeper' because history shows that bubbles tend to burst more rapidly than they form.
That is, we could view this as a bubble in financial assets, particularly credit (debt), but we could just as easily view it as a bubble in living standards. We overdid things and now it's just a question of figuring out who is going to eat the losses. Historically, that answer has always been 'the little people,' but today we have dropped such disparaging terms in favor of the more politically palatable 'taxpayers.'
To understand the current predicament, the most important chart to look at is the ratio of total national debt to GDP (debt-to-income)... » Read more
Since I started delivering this message, I've held a vision of the day when it instead elicits knowing nods because its truths have become self-evident. My proudest day will be when there's no more need to communicate the core ideas in the Crash Course because they'll already be common knowledge.
I cannot wait for the day when, literally, I'll have talked myself out of a job.
Well, we're one very important step closer to that day. » Read more

One of the challenges the U.S. stock market will increasingly face in the years ahead is continued growth in the Dependency Ratio. The U.S. Census Bureau alerted us to this trend back in 2010. For keen observers of demographics, this couldn't have been a surprise). The rate at which the Dependency Ratio is growing, and is set to grow further, is accelerating:
The U.S. Census Bureau reported today that the dependency ratio, or the number of people 65 and older to every 100 people of traditional working ages, is projected to climb rapidly from 22 in 2010 to 35 in 2030. This time period coincides with the time when baby boomers are moving into the 65 and older age category...The expected steep rise in the dependency ratio over the next two decades reflects the projected proportion of people 65 and older climbing from 13 percent to 19 percent of the total population over the period, with the percentage in the 20 to 64 age range falling from 60 percent to 55 percent..."This rapid growth of the older population may present challenges in the next two decades," said Victoria Velkoff, assistant chief for estimates and projections for the Census Bureau's Population Division. "It's also noteworthy that those 85 and older — who often require additional caregiving and support — would increase from about 14 percent of the older population today to 21 percent in 2050."
This is precisely one of the key, ongoing headwinds that faced Japan's stock market for 20 years. When Japan's economy moved steadily into its low-growth phase, unable to generate sufficient jobs, fertility rates and household formation declined rapidly. As I explained in The Arrival of Japan's Sunset, these will not be cured by the current devaluation of the yen, despite naïve cheerleading. And neither will they be solved here in the U.S.
But in contrast to Japan, the United States is only just embarking on its slow growth phase. Its demographically challenged culture and economy will reinforce each other as we move ahead in time. And, it's not just the retiring class of workers that will massively increase the Dependency Ratio in the U.S. in years ahead... » Read more

I am happy, bored, and frustrated all at the same time.
My frustration is one I share with everyone who believes that fundamentals (a.k.a. 'reality') matter. This frustration is fueled by the endlessly-propped financial markets in which good news and bad news are both good and worse news seems to be even better. No matter what the latest headline might say, it seems to ignite a new round of buying of stocks, bonds, and anything else that the central banks deem worthy of dressing up. » Read more

We may never again restore trust in giant institutions ranging from the U.S. government to Harvard University to The New York Times. They have probably squandered their credibility and their legitimacy.
Anyway, the trends now moving human affairs are taking us away from both gigantism and the growth imperative that these things represent. The trends of the present moment in history are contraction, down-scaling, and re-localization.
Managing contraction is the only safe reality-based political response to the situation, and there is no constituency for it – though contraction is emphatically underway whether we like it or not, and it would be advantageous if we could manage our way through it rather than let it become a disorderly rout in which people starve and the rule of law disintegrates altogether.
As for re-localization and downscaling, there is a highly visible, easily identifiable constituency... » Read more

And the Plot Thickens! – The Suppression of Shurooq Amin Goes International
So, nearly a month ago I talked about how Shurooq Amin's constitutional rights to artistic expression were violated at her 'It's A Man's World' exhibition. Well, it seems that the Kuwaiti government has gone even further in their oppressive battle against freedom of expression and has decided that they don't want to just suppress Shurooq Amin in Kuwait but beyond it's borders as well.
That's right: Censorship in Kuwait is going international! According to her own Twitter page and a statement she sent to the Red Room, Shurooq Amin has been kept from appearing on the MBC women's talk show 'Kalam Nawa'em' (كلام نواعم), or Lady Talk, by Kuwait's Ministry of Information. So, basically, the Kuwaiti government was so afraid of what Shurooq Amin could have to say that they decided to just jump over Kuwait's border and suppress her voice even in areas in which it is out of their legal jurisdiction to do so.
Gotta love that wasta! It turns decade-long cable networks into cowering puppets and destroys all semblance of journalistic integrity.
As infuriated as I am by these kinds of actions, unfortunately, I can't say I'm surprised. Almost every Arab media and news source has been known to operate on a power-serving basis as opposed to a people-serving one. It's sad and useless and untrustworthy. I won't go into a diatribe about my lack of respect for the Arab media and news machine because it could be, well, pretty endless.
Anyway, here's the statement that Shurooq Amin provided for the Red Room:
"Dear art supporters: I was invited to MBC Beirut to appear on the program Kalam Nawaen to speak about my journey, about the closure of my show, about censorship & about freedom of expression. Yesterday MBC Kuwait came to my studio and filmed for 3 hours. After I land in Beirut, I'm shocked to be told that MBC was ordered to cancel my appearance & ban me from speaking about this on TV! They received a call from the Ministry of Information in Kuwait ordering them to ban me from speaking! Since when is MBC controlled by Kuwait? Since when is MBC against freedom of expression? Who is afraid of my art and why? It's not political; it's not religious: it's just art! What's going on here?"
Here's what I think: This kind of action on the part of the Kuwaiti government to try and suspend Shurooq Amin's access to her rights even outside of Kuwait is not going to go by unnoticed. In fact, it's probably going to have the opposite effect of what these people were hoping for. It's only going to make Shurooq Amin hungrier for more justice (to which she is fully entitled) and make her supporters even more rabidly insistent in their fight for freedom of expression and their support of Shurooq Amin's cause.
So, basically, by continuing to shove their opinion-based legalities down people's throats, what they actually seem to be doing is backing themselves into a very tight corner. It doesn't reflect well on Kuwait's national or international image nor will it lead to the oppressive results that they're hoping for. It's a lose-lose for them and, in the long run, a win-win for freedom and art.
My suggestion is we try to get Shurooq Amin featured or perhaps discussed on a larger, international platform. Something like perhaps Anderson Cooper or Piers Morgan. I know they've had Arabs and even people from the Gulf specifically on their shows so its not an entirely long shot. If Shurooq Amin and her supporters stay strong and passionate about righting this incredible wrong, sooner or later, Kuwait will change for the better and everyone who supports the fundamental right to artistic expression will come out of this whole ordeal smelling like freaking roses.
All my love!

Nice Stand
By Jeff Hunter

About Me High-End Shopper
Comments about Home Styles Homestead Corner Entertainment TV Stand in Distressed Warm Oak Finish:
The assembly will take approximately 30 minutes. My only complaint is that the bottom portion of the stand doesn't align perfectly with the sides. This leaves a small gap that is noticeable if you are looking directly down at the bottom and at the bottom /side edges. Other than that, it is a very nice stand which is solid and easy to move around.
I am pleased with my order.

Great Product for the Price
By mvande41
from Rapid City, SD 57702
About Me Practical
This product was delivered unassembled in a box. [...]. The unit needed to be built from the ground up. I would not recommend this unit for a novice in constructing unassembled furniture. I felt that the unit's finish was slightly darker than pictured so plan on that if you buy one and it is not a lightweight piece of furniture. The instructions were very good and now that the unit has been completed it is very attractive and very practical at the same time. Contrary to many other corner units on the market this one allows the owner to use all of the space available in the corner cabinet and the storage can be hidden by the unit's attractive doors. If you are up to building something like this from a box, I would highly recommend this corner TV stand.
A great buy!

All hardwood composition which was what we were looking for.[...]. We wish it was just a little lighter in color but the dark oak is very nice and does blend with what we already own.The cabinet went together VERY easily but did require two people to easly handle.We wish it had one more back opening to make wiring easier; some devices don't have long wires.

The assembly directions were easy to follow. The lock screws on the table top did not line up with the sides. There were wooden dowels in the places were the lock screws were suppose to go.
Good overall
By Country Mom
from Spokane, WA
Overall, love this unit. The color is much darker than the photo shows. Much more of a soft cherry color. I still like it enough to keep it. We received the initial box, which had incorrect placement of the holes on the top piece. It was frustrating as it was one of the last to put on. I was sent an entire new top, after 1 week, only to have that top have the same problem. So my husband had to do some modification to make it work. Once it was all assembled, it looks fabulous EXCEPT the doors have different sized spaces between the door and where they shut. It must be a manufacturing flaw, as was the top issue. Overall a nice piece, and fits snuggly in the corner, which is what we were looking for. [...]
Very Satisfied...
By Glen from Bedford
from Bedford, VA
I would have given this product 5 stars had not one of the corners been crushed. Fortunately, this particular corner was covered up during the assembly process. At any rate, my wife and I really love this piece of furnture... assembly was fast and there was a surplus of cams and screws which you might need... I did.

Overall Great!
By Deal Crazy!
About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
First - this warm oak color is much darker than appears on the website. I would call it more of a deep cherry (with less red to it)** I love the unit enough to deal with the fact that it is so much darker than our other wood furniture. If I had been able to assemble this today when it arrived, I would have given it possibly 5 stars. However, Home Styles is sending a replacement of the entire top as it was drilled incorrectly in manufacturing. I am assured I will have the new top (with hopefully correct drill spots!) within a week, and that the finish will match. Hopefully that is the case. The assembly was time consuming but not terribly difficult. I am very pleased with the quality. I just wish our new LCD was sitting on it right now, instead of the entertainment unit sitting partially assembled and waiting for the top portion to arrive. Once this is completely assembled and in place, I may leave a 2nd review with any changes!

Rick Heinrichs Talks About Interactive Transmedia, Collaborating with Creative Directors Like Tim Burton, His Directorial Debut for THE GAMBLERS Pilot & More
by Christina Radish Posted 291 days ago
As Executive Creative Director, Academy Award-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs, a longtime collaborator with Tim Burton, is now responsible for leading visual design at the innovative Fourth Wall Studios. While continuing to raise the overall creative output across all of the projects developed for the innovative transmedia RIDES.tv, he brings over 30 years of experience to the next generation of interactive storytelling with a platform that uses technological devices to enhance and add dimension to narrative while engaging fans on a whole new level.
During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, Rick Heinrichs talked about how his interest in these transmedia platforms has developed, how he came to be involved with Fourth Wall Studios, that it's both exciting and daunting to have so much input in something that's still so new, and the approach that they'll be taking with each of the different projects. He also talked about what led him to make his directorial debut with the short The Ledge (the pilot episode for The Gamblers) about a high school senior who tries to talk her lovesick stalker out of jumping off a building while two gamblers bet on the outcome, how collaborating with such creative directors throughout his career has influenced his own approach, and that he loves how collaborative an industry and art form film is. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
