FAQs and Instructions for correctly reporting LDR and DNR codes on the Oil and Gas Severance Tax Returns (Updated 01/30/2008)
A return must be filed by each severer who withholds tax from royalty payments and each purchaser who withholds tax from any amount due a seller or owner if the tax has not yet been paid.
The tax rate for natural gas and equivalent gas volumes of natural gasoline, casinghead gasoline, and other natural gas liquids per 1,000 cubic feet at a base pressure of 15.025 pounds per square inch absolute and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit is adjusted annually on July 1 and may never be less than 7 cents.
Tax returns must be filed on or before the twenty-fifth day of the second month following the month to which the tax is applicable.
The severer must report the kind and quantity of natural resources severed, the names of the owners, the portion owned by each, the location of each natural resource, and the places where severed.
The purchaser must report the names and addresses of all sellers and the quantity and gross price paid for each natural resource.
These reports are due monthly on the same date as the tax.

Toledo Early College High School
Toledo Early College High School, or TECHS, is a selective-admissions school located on the University of Toledo's Scott Park campus. Affiliated with the Early College High School Initiative, the school was awarded a $400,000 grant by the KnowledgeWorks Foundation to begin operations. To apply, students must qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, be an ethnic minority or an English language learner, and be the first in their families to attend college.
Although TECHS opened only in 2005, the school has achieved many successes. It received a designation of "excellent" for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years by the Ohio Department of Education. On the Ohio Graduation Tests for 2009-10, TECHS students outperformed their peers across the district and state in proficiency of tested subjects. At least 94 percent of 10th-graders at the school scored at or above required state levels for proficiency in all subjects, and 100 percent of 11th-graders at the school scored at or above proficiency levels. In the 2008-09 school year, students achieved a 98.2 percent attendance rate.
At TECHS, 77 percent of teachers hold at least a master's degree. While teachers are responsible for the core high school classes at the school, students also take college-level courses at the university. Most students completing this dual-credit program graduate with between 50 and 60 college credit hours. University of Toledo tuition, college textbooks and other resource materials are available at no cost to TECHS students.
Tim Bollin, a science teacher who has worked at TECHS since its founding, attributes its success to high expectations among students and staff. Everyone at the school expects to attend college, and students encourage each other to succeed. "Students work together to improve their weaknesses and build on their strengths," he says. "If a student is having an issue in my class, there will probably be two or three or four other students who get to them before I do."
Bollin says teachers at TECHS work well together and have a lot of time to plan interdisciplinary units. They also set aside time to talk about students' needs and how best to intervene. When a student struggles, teachers view it not as an individual problem but as a school problem, he says. "Because we're a small school, we have the mentality that all students will succeed."
In March 2010, TECHS was placed on a tentative list of school closures, pending residents' vote on an additional levy on earned income. But residents, parents and students protested the tentative closure. The Toledo Blade reported that during one hearing on the issue, a grandparent of a TECHS student proclaimed, "They love it. Nobody had to hold their hand, they went and did it." In the end, residents passed the tax hike, preferring an additional levy on their income over shutting down the successful school.

You Do Have Time to Work Out! Get Motivated
30-Minute Routine
If you have 30 minutes...
YOU CAN: Get an amazing total-body workout, says Lang. Each of the following moves targets multiple muscles (think arms, legs, butt, and core) at the same time. Moving from one exercise to the next without resting, and adding in quick cardio bursts, will help you tone up and burn more calories.
ROUTINE: Use dumbbells that will keep challenging your muscles for 15 to 20 reps (5 to 10 pounds). After each move, do 1 minute of cardio (jumping jacks, jump rope, fast walking, jogging, step-ups, etc.), working at an intensity level of about a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Do the circuit 3 times.
- Walking lunge with overhead press
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing forward, elbows bent at 90 degrees. Lunge forward with right leg, bending both knees, keeping right knee directly over right ankle. As you lift back up, slowly press dumbbells overhead until arms are straight. Then lunge forward with left foot and bring arms back down to shoulder height. Do 30 reps, alternating legs.
- Deadlift with row
Stand with feet hip-width apart, dumbbells facing sides, knees slightly bent. Hinge forward from hips, pushing glutes behind you and keeping back straight, until dumbbells reach your shins. Hold here for a breath, then bend elbows toward ribs, keeping arms close to sides. Lower arms back to shins, then pull through glutes to lift back up. Do 20 reps.
- Lateral lunge with chop
a. Hold a dumbbell with both hands at chest level and lunge to your right, bending right knee 90 degrees as you push hips back; keep left leg straight. At the same time, bring weight down toward right foot.
b. Return right foot to center and lift back up, bringing dumbbell diagonally across body toward left shoulder. Do 15 reps. Switch sides; repeat.
- Walking plank with push-ups
Start in full push-up position (hands under shoulders, abs engaged, back straight, toes tucked under). Walk hands and feet 6 steps to left. Drop knees to floor and do 5 push-ups. Repeat to right. Do series 3 times on each side.
- Side bridge
Lie in a straight line on your right side, legs and hips stacked, elbow under shoulder, abs engaged. Lift hips to form a straight line with upper body; lower. Repeat 10 times. For last rep, hold hips up for 10 seconds, then lower.

Stuck between a budget model and a high-end, feature-filled model, this middle Asus Zenbook is a slim, slick ultrabook, but also a tough sell.
In this edition of CNET Prizefight, we compare Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air with the suspiciously similar (but less expensive) Asus Zenbook UX31.
It's a Prizefight punchout between the two best-looking laptops on the planet, which look a lot like each other. Will the feature-packed Asus Zenbook have what it takes to take out the MacBook Air, the reigning champ? Let's get it on!
The Asus Zenbook UX31E is an excellent-looking Windows Ultrabook laptop that matches the MacBook Air step for step with an even better price. Fans of great audio, high-resolution screens and lots of ports will be happy; keyboard/touch pad aficionados will be disappointed.
Asus made an ultrabook that's just about as thin and stylish as a MacBook Air, but manages to be less expensive. Could that make it the perfect Apple-alternative Windows laptop? The Zenbook gets awfully close.
The two new Ultrabook models are the 11.6-inch UX21 and the 13.3-inch UX31, both part of the Zenbook series.
Apple secures a patent for the wedge profile sported by the MacBook Air.
The Samsung Series 5 name has been applied to two powerful new ultrabooks with rather chubby bodies. Will they be enough to challenge Asus' Zenbooks?
Sony adds the Vaio T to its line of slim, upscale laptops.
Asus is expected to announce a range of Ultrabook models, replete with an aluminum chassis and USB 3.0 ports.

Camera APIs may use/report incorrect supported resolution on some Lumia devices (Known Issue)
The camera APIs on some Lumia devices return an unsupported resolution value and set this to the default value. This issue may also affect other manufacturer devices, but that is untested.
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 7.5
In affected Lumia devices the camera APIs will return an unsupported resolution value ("1280x960") in the set of resolutions the front camera is expected to support. The incorrect value is also set as the default resolution, so that if a developer does not explicitly set the targeted resolution (or sets it to this unsupported value) the camera will freeze and will only recover if the phone is rebooted.
The issue is known to affect the Nokia Lumia devices which have a non-HD front camera: RM-824, RM-825, RM-826. It is caused by a bug in the camera's configuration.
When using the front camera you must set the desired capture resolution explicitly, ensuring that you do not use the high resolution value returned by the API.
You can use DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceName") or DeviceStatus.DeviceName() (if targeting only WP8 devices) to query on which device the application is running, and if the returned string contains one of the RM codes mentioned above, clean-up the list of supported resolutions and set the capture resolution to the supported value of 640x480.
The issue affects only the specified devices and is expected to be fixed in a subsequent firmware update.

Lost decade for the middle class
Net worth has plunged since 2000, with the U.S. median declining by 28%, erasing two decades of gains
This post comes from Judy Martel at partner site Bankrate.com.
Does it feel like you've been standing still financially for a decade? Or, worse, have you lost ground? If it's any comfort, you've got plenty of company. The Pew Research Center has identified the past 10 years as a lost decade for the middle class.
In a survey, 85% of middle-class respondents say it is more difficult now to maintain a standard of living than it was a decade ago. Since 2000, adults in this group have lost earning power and wealth, as well as faith in the future, perhaps the saddest aspect of the Pew study. (Post continues below video.)
The survey defined the middle class as adults with annual household incomes from two-thirds to double the national median -- a range of $39,418 to $118,255 for a family of three.
Mean family incomes have declined overall for the first time since the end of World War II. Since 2000, the median income for America's middle class has fallen from $72,956 to $69,487. Net worth plunged during that time, with the median declining by 28%, erasing two decades of gains.
The middle class has also been shrinking in number for the past four decades. In 2011, 51% of adults made up the middle class, down from 61% in 1971. The good news is that as the middle class gets smaller, slightly more of its former members are moving up than down. Those who moved into the upper class found themselves in a tier that increased its share of the nation's total income, from 29% in 1970 to 46% in 2010. The lower tier dropped from 10% to 9% of the nation's income, and the middle class from 62% to 45%.
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are both making the erosion of the middle class a central campaign theme. Look for health care costs, taxes, job growth, Social Security and recovering housing values to be hotly debated over the next two months.
Would you define yourself as middle class? Do you feel as though, financially, you've lost a decade?

Rose Petals: That's not a real gun!

I was handing the clerk my change, and he was handing me my ice-cream cone. It had been a very hot afternoon when we picked Mother up from the airport. So on our way home, we decided to stop at a convenience store for something refreshing. Vance, who was 14 at the time, had come along, and he was standing near the entrance, looking over some magazines. Mother was standing to my right.
I was paying for my treat, and suddenly time halted. As I looked at the face of the attendant, he was looking at a newcomer to the counter. I looked to my left and down, in the direction of the attendant's gaze, still with my hand extended, to see a short, opened-shirt fellow holding a very long, silver pistol. It seemed to be resting on the counter, but it was definitely pointed at the clerk. The culprit began shouting profanities, and the clerk carefully turned around and reached for a key. He opened the drawer and removed its contents. All this seemed to be happening in slow motion. I remember thinking, smugly, "What is this guy doing!? That's not a real gun...." It's like you're seeing something you have never seen before, and the brain has to make sense out of it.
And finally I did come to my senses and gently but hurriedly took Mother by the hand and retreated to the back of the store. Vance, meanwhile, was still up front, along the robber's exit path, reading magazines. From the rear of the store, I whispered as loud as one can whisper, "Vance, Vance...." Then I motioned frantically for him to come here. He looked up; saw the conflict; and hurried back to me. About the time he reached my side, the robber turned and fired his weapon into the air and bolted out the door, right past where Vance could have been directly in his path. Oh, thank God, Vance got out of his way. And next time I see someone waving a pistol, I'll believe it's real.
Oh, by the way, I never did get my ice-cream cone or my change....

Virtual Training
Virtual Classroom...Rich Training, without Expensive Travel.
All the benefits of a classroom environment without the cost of travel… what's not to love? The SuiteTraining Virtual Classroom provides a rich learning experience with the convenience and flexibility of sessions scheduled in global time zones.
Our virtual classes are designed to be highly interactive and are taught by seasoned NetSuite instructors, who are also experts at working in the virtual environment. Students are encouraged to ask questions, engage in text chats with the instructors or other students, and participate in group activities and interactions.
The virtual environment makes it simple to share information with the class or 1:1 with an instructor. Virtual training allows you to participate in discussions, express your opinion, and even take a coffee break just as you would in a classroom setting!
Experience the Virtual Classroom!
What's it like to attend a Virtual Classroom session? What tools do we use to make the experience interactive?
Check out this video and see for yourself.
What do customers think of the Virtual Classroom?
- "Web training is both cost effective and convenient. Keep offering courses on the web!"
- "The Virtual class was very well done. It was better than most on premise classes."
- "The virtual classroom was great because there were no travel expenses. It was also well organized and well presented. I was a little worried at first, because I had never attended a virtual training, but this was much better than I anticipated."
- "The virtual classroom was beneficial to us in that we are a small company with only 2 IT resources. Via the use of the virtual classroom we were able to stay in our office and take the training course (hence increasing our skills with NetSuite) while still supporting our end users in a timely manner."
- "This was better than I expected and better than similar experiences with learning other software systems."
- "This virtual class was a good combination of convenience, flexibility and learning while meeting the objectives that I had in mind."
- "The virtual format was a nice surprise. I was expecting less interactivity but they proved me wrong. This is a really effective delivery format."

Airway clearance techniques may be prescribed to help move mucus up and out of the airways. Clearing the airways helps relieve shortness of breath and coughing. It also helps keep the lungs clean. Keep doing the technique until you have coughed the mucus up and out. For best results, use your rescue inhaler (if one has been prescribed) before doing these techniques.
Note: Be sure to keep a box of tissues beside you. Wash your hands when you are done.
Sit on a chair with both feet on the floor.
Take a slow, deep breath through your nose and hold for 2 counts.
Lean forward slightly.
Cough twice — 2 short coughs.
Relax for a few seconds.
Repeat the steps as needed.
Take a slow, deep breath through your nose and hold for two counts.
To exhale, open your mouth and make a "huff" sound in your throat. (This is the same way you might breathe to clean a pair of glasses.)

Borderites drop first baseball outing
Bryan Galbraith (0-1) allowed four hits and walked two batters in the first inning, which along with a Blaine error gave Squalicum a six run first inning as Blaine dropped its opening non-league game of the season 10-0 at the Pipe. Storm pitcher Rhett Fenton two-hit the Borderites in four innings and contributed three hits and three RBI's. Blaine managed just two hits.
The Borderites next host Lynden Christian March 24 at home, as do their counterparts on the soccer team. Game time for both is 3:30 p.m. at the Pipe.
Line score:
Squalicum 600 31 10 7 0
Blaine 000 00 0 2 3
drops first soccer league match to Nooksack
Playing on the windswept Pipeline field, Blaine was unable to organize a coherent offense against an equally green Nooksack Valley squad, and ended up losing their first game of the season one-nil on Nooksack freshman Efran Zevala's fluke goal in the 39th minute. Playing the opening half with the gusting, 20 plus miles per hour. wind at their back, Zevala's aimless lob shot from midfield was carried like a drifting leaf over the outstretched fingertips of the Blaine keeper for the game's only score.
Blaine showed some impressive moments, including a coast-to-coast penetration by ace defender Luke Baldwin, good midfield work by Michael Waslohn and strong forward play by Michael Allan and Eli Dugger, whose hand has healed sufficiently to return as keeper in today's 3:30 home match with LC. Having Dugger's experience back in goal will help, although he wouldn't have been able to stop the lone score Tuesday as it more or less blew into the crease like an errant beach ball on a random gust of wind.
The Borderites could have used the skills of departed midfielder Steven Kaufman, who moved to California last week, but will continue to improve especially with their coach Kai Edwards back on the sidelines. Edwards was red carded last season in the final game against Granite Falls, a playoff contest in Mount Vernon, when it got away from the referees and erupted in rough play toward the end.
The card gave Edwards an automatic two-game suspension which he served by sitting out the jamboree last weekend and Tuesday's game. Parents at the contest universally supported Edwards's speaking out. "He was sticking up for his team in a difficult situation," said Lauri Waslohn, "and we supported him then and we're really happy to have him back."
Whatcom County refs working the game Tuesday kept the
contest under control despite the frustrating wind, calling
rough play when needed but generally letting
the two young squads get their game legs in shape for
what promises to be an interesting
girls finish second in opening golf match
Blaine's first outing onto the links garnered a second place finish as Tegan Bukowski (22), Ainsley Nix (19) and Lori Robertson (17) combined for 58 of Blaine's 79 points under the modified Stableford scoring format. Nicole Bailey contributed 11 points and Jessica Harrington scored 10.
Nooksack won the match with 87 points. Meridian was a distant second with 48 and Mt. Baker trailed with just 25 points. The Lady B golfers next are up against eight other teams Monday afternoon at the Bellingham Golf and Country Club.

I need this game because I need to decide once and for all who I should join in the Candy Crush vs. Banner Saga war. Not having played Banner Saga yet I can't just make a rash decision to join one or the other just because I like eating candy or have a perverse banner fetish. In closing, Saga rhymes with Sega and not winning would be another disappointment in life as I never really got over Sega's console failure and being forced into Nintendo's sport games servitude.

The choices we are presented in this game were quite powerful. You really had to make difficult decisions throughout the game and they do matter what you choose. You can't save everyone and that really takes a toll on you but at the same time adds to the replayablilty of the game.

We tend to think of maps as factual, objective mirrors of reality. In the second Faculty Colloquium, on October 29, Professor of Geography and Geology Douglas Heath showed how maps of Vietnam, made at different times and places, by different cartographers, instead served the political agendas of governments during the War in Vietnam.
"Signifying Sovereignty and Framing the Discourse of War: The Cartographies of Vietnam, 1955 - 1975" had its roots in 1973, when as a graduate student preparing to teach his first class during the Vietnam War. Heath gazed at two National Geographic maps and noticed a contradiction: an earlier map denoted Vietnam as one country, while a later map showed a separate North and South Vietnam. Why? The search for insights has occupied Heath for thirty years and has resulted in original research.
Changing maps of Vietnam, he discovered, framed discussion of the war, with far-reaching consequences. Examining the maps' colors and labels, he discerned what the mapmakers were saying about sovereignty after French forces ceded defeat to the Viet Minh in 1954 to civil war between the Communist-led Viet Minh in North Vietnam and the U.S.-created and-supported South and later to the United States' escalating involvement in that war during the Cold War era.
Temporarily divided at the 17th parallel, maps of Vietnam reflected ways in which governments wished their publics to view the country and the war. Was Vietnam one country in the throes of a civil war or two countries, with North Vietnam the aggressor against the sovereignty of South Vietnam?
Imperial maps, Heath explained, are maps made by and for a reigning power and excluding the opinions of the indigenous people. Before the French withdrawal, French imperial maps such as one Heath showed from 1936 was labeled "French Indochina," consisting of five divisions, Tonkin, Annan, Laos, Cambodia, and Cochinchina . The name Vietnam does not appear.
Hammond maps from 1954-1960 portray Vietnam as one country, signifying civil war by separate stars placed beside Hanoi and Saigon. Likewise, an 1863 British map of the United States presents America as one country undergoing civil war. From 1962 - 1975, when the War in Vietnam ended in victory for the communist regime in Hanoi, maps display ambiguity depending upon their origins and mapmakers' intended messages. Maps made in South Vietnam show the unity of Vietnam by use of a single color and one label: Vietnam. One map portrays a peaceful place, with farms, forests and boats.
Imperial maps drawn in the United States shift as American involvement changes over the years, Heath showed. In May 1961, one label and one color, but also separate stars for Hanoi and Saigon, represented one Vietnam at civil war. By December 1964, with U.S. involvement increasing, the National Geographic map has one label but two colors-pink for the north and yellow for the south. During and after 1965, when the first Marines landed in Da Nang, maps began to show two countries, in two colors and with two designations, justifying the United States' growing intervention by painting a war of aggression by North Vietnam against South Vietnam. Hammond's 1965 map increased the Cold War aura of threat by projecting the map in a way that showed Communist countries as looming larger than non-Communist ones. Its title was "Freedom Struggle in Asia."
"These maps by France and the United States," Heath said, "were not realistic pictures of Vietnam, but rather a pose, a delusion." Why did such maps come to predominate in the United States? Heath believes that "group think" prevailed as our government generated its version of the war and media quoted the president and state department.
Since 1975 and the United States' withdrawal, Vietnam is once again shown as a single country.
What should maps be? Heath quoted scholar Juan Jose Valdes, who said that "what a map should accord is the actual portrayal of national sovereignty."
As Heath showed, mapmaking is complex, with various motivations behind their production.

About All TerrainAll Terrain sells natural products to help people live more active, healthier lives. Safe and highly effective, All Terrain's products disprove the myth that if it's natural, it can't work as well as chemical-based products. The products are developed by and for outdoor enthusiasts for use whether trekking in the backcountry or relaxing with family in your backyard. In addition to wanting people to live healthier lives, the company is based on caring and a desire to protect the environment.
Mission and HistoryAll Terrain's mission is to help people live more active, healthier lives. The company originated when a climber was hiking in Costa Rica and a bottle of DEET-based insect repellent he was carrying leaked. It ate through his backpack and melted the keys on a calculator he was carrying to figure out the exchange rate. After that experience, he came home, researched and developed the natural, yet effective, Herbal Armor™ Insect Repellent. From this humble beginning, All Terrain moved to Sunapee, New Hampshire and now offers more than 50 natural, effective products to help people live more actively.
ValuesAll Terrain believes in:
Performance NaturallyAll Terrain is trying to debunk the myth that if a product is natural it doesn't work as well as a chemical-based product. All Terrain's products have won numerous awards for their natural formulas, safety and efficacy (see The Buzz). Customers can trust that whether they are in the backcountry, backwoods or backyard, All Terrain's products will work. The products are developed by and for outdoor enthusiasts who expect high performance from themselves and from the products they use.

Childhood diabetes, depression and ADHD are up dramatically. Kids are less active with recess down 40% in schools and "free play area" down almost 89%. Most alarming is that according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, children are spending an average of 7.5 hours a day behind some kind of screen. All Terrain supports both local and national organizations, supplying samples and resources to kids' recreation departments, runs, triathlons, bike races, fishing derbies, etc.
Apply liberally and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, or at least every 2 hours.

By Dr. Willie James Jennings
Associate Professor of Theology and
Black Church Studies
Duke Divinity School
The Obama family makes history every day in this country. The most recent historical event that caught my attention was the annual public presentation of the White House at Christmas. Usually Barbara Walters or some such news celebrity visits the American royal castle with camera team in tow in order to give us a guided tour. Greeting us at the door and walking us through that starry space is normally the job of the first lady. But this year it was a different first lady and a different television celebrity. This year, Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama guided us through the White House at Christmas.
As I watched and listened to them I had such dissonance with the entire event. Here were two black women engaged in one of the most profound acts of representation, vicarious representation for the American public – presenting the White House, the house of America's people in one of its most celebrated and intimate seasons. When Oprah and the first lady stood in front of that magnificent North Carolina Christmas tree with Michelle Obama pointing out the ornaments that came from all fifty states, I realized that Mrs. Obama was performing something breathtakingly new but also strangely familiar. She was giving witness (testimony really) to the collective reality of the America people. With every object, ornament, flower or picture she drew attention to and explained, she spoke for the many. Such speaking had always been done from that space by a white woman, but here she and Oprah Winfrey carried on a conversation with us and for us.
It is clear to me as it is with many people that as important as Barack Obama's presidency is, Michelle Obama's powerful presence is equally important. It is an importance beyond the operations of statecraft or that of celebrity influence, even beyond that of being the Most Fascinating Person of 2009 [1]. She now lives in a space that she is making a new kind of space, a space many different people can now imagine themselves inhabiting, imagining themselves a part of, imagining themselves considered from inside it, never forgotten. But what is strangely familiar about Michelle in the White House, her house, on Christmas is that it gestures so much like Mary the Mother of Jesus. I want to be clear here: Christmas is really about Mary and Jesus. Once you realize this, then the analogies with the scenes I am describing become overwhelming.
Mary was the unlikely one to gave witness to God in flesh. This poor young woman was the embodiment of dissonance. She carried a truth that no one would have believed in any normal circumstance. Yet here she was the bearer of God. Mary, the one most people (then and now) would believe that God was most unlike, was in fact, the very one the Son of God choose to be like. Jesus would be like his mother, obedient, willing, and loving. This is one of the reasons why so many people, especially those who are poor, get Mary. Whether Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, high church, low church, no church, they understand someone who creates a space that is safe, secure, warm, and inviting, a space that differs from a vision of a God strange, remote, perfect, demanding. I am not commending the contrast. I am only registering its on going effect.
More importantly, the images of Mary in their variety carry almost as much significance as the images of Jesus. My favorite is the one that adorns our blog. This portrait of the Black Madonna rendered by the brilliant artist Margaret Parker [2] says so much. Not only is it beautiful but it brings so much to us.
She looks out at us with such determination, her head partly covered but exposing the beauty of her hair. Her arm and hands are clearly quite strong and her hip is positioned out just enough to support holding baby Jesus. And Jesus is at that age where he is old enough to walk and able to get into trouble or danger. So she grips him with the care and commitment of a mother protecting her child. What is also brilliant about this portrait is the space of darkness, of blackness, of the unknown. Beside Mary and Jesus is an emptiness that opens to an uncertain future. We know that future, but they do not. Yet Mary will be Jesus' mother. She will work for him, live for him, be present for him.
This is the stage on which God will be known. God will come from a poor woman who knows what dangers and troubles may await her child and who will position her own body between that future and her baby's life. Before Jesus will do the same positioning of his own body next to the world's troubles, he will have the memories of his mother's gestures on which to build. We must never forget that God choose Mary to stand in this space for the sake of God's Son and for our sake. It is precisely this truth that presses into my mind when I listened and watched Michelle Obama gesturing in the White House at Christmas time.
So many people are facing uncertain futures right now. The mental health of many hangs in the balance, suspended between job losses, unmanageable mortgage payments, and shredding health care benefits. Mrs. Obama seems to realize that the weight of representation increases as people with dimming hopes look for beacons of light. And a large beautifully lit Christmas tree burning brightly in a familiar place is an obvious candidate for a first glance. So if you happen to see the White House Christmas tree and the first lady pointing toward it, then I invite you to look beyond that tree to another wonderful woman who faced an uncertain future and with faith in God offered to us of her own flesh, the Son of God.

#1 Messiah Hands #3 Williams First Loss, Improves to 4-0-1
Posted: 9/17/2011
Box | More Women's Soccer news
North Adams, MA – For the second consecutive Saturday this month, the Falcons of Messiah traveled up towards the Northeast for a contest against a top-5 team. This time, they came away with the win.
Freshman Mackenzie Clapper scored off an assist from senior Erin Hench in a 1-0 win over Williams College on Saturday, improving the Falcons to 4-0-1 on the season. Coming into the game, Messiah was ranked #1 in both the latest D3Soccer.com and NSCAA Top 25 polls, respectively. Williams was ranked #3, falling to 2-1 with the loss. Messiah's lone tie (scoreless) came a week ago against #2 William Smith.
Messiah came out on Saturday with immediate pressure, with Williams goalie Hannah Van Wetter making a diving save on a header by senior Leah Sipe at the 5:00 mark.
A few minutes later, Van Wetter wouldn't be so fortunate.
At the start of the 9th minute, Hench saved the ball on the Ephs' right goal line, completing a quick cross to the middle of the box where Clapper made a strike past the opposing goalie for a 1-0 lead. It proved to the difference in a hard-fought match between the two teams.
Falcon keeper senior Autumn Riley made six saves in the game, including a save on near shot by the Ephs at the end of the first half.
In the second half, the net continued to be unattainable for both teams as Hench would hit the crossbar in the 47th minute and Reilly would foil back-to-back attempts by Williams a few minutes later. The Ephs best opportunity for the tie may have come with just under 25:00 to play, as senior Brett Eisenhart would get a clear look at the net from right side of the box. Reilly, though, would again make a save to knock the ball out of bounds before it entered the goal.
While both teams fought hard to the final seconds, the Falcons' speedy play would allow for consistent possession and the preserved win. The shutout was Reilly's fifth on the season.
Messiah finishes their three-game road trip 2-0-1, with wins against Williams and Muhlenberg (5-0 final) and the scoreless tie with William Smith. The top-ranked Falcons will now return to Grantham for a match with York College (Pa.) on Wednesday, September 21. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. on Shoemaker Field.

J.C. Penney Needs to Fire Delusional Ron Johnson Now
There's a distinct difference between dogs like those two names and pacesetters such as Amazon.com.
The culture of obviousness helps explain every major Best Buy initiative over the past year or two.
Making stores smaller. Doing their own tablet. Instituting online price matching. Revamping the mobile Web experience. These steps either (A) came a lot too late; (B) were obvious; (C) should have never happened because there was no way they could be effective; or (D) all or some combination of the above.
I feel bad for the rank-and-file at Best Buy. The blame falls squarely on an unimaginative Board and upper management team.
They sat around a table listing where they had their asses kicked by Amazon, refused to seek a partnership and proceeded to make obvious after-the-fact decisions. It would be slightly forgivable if they were even proactively incompetent.
Meantime, Ron Johnson makes Reed Hastings at Netflix (NFLX) look like the most humble CEO in the universe. Johnson lives in his own world. As the late, great Texas Governor Ann Richards said of George H. W. Bush: He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple .
Last August, when I labeled Johnson 2012's Most Delusional CEO, I reviewed his egomaniacal performance at JCP's January 2012 investor day.
All Johnson could do was talk about himself and how he would prove the naysayers wrong like he claims to have done at Target (TGT) and Apple (AAPL) . The guy clearly reads his own press clippings.
For more than a year, Johnson has turned in a pitiful performance at JCPenney. Dig into some of the numbers from Wednesday's earnings report:
