Last night I saw my first-ever Twilight movie. Yup, me, the Twilight virgin, finally caved and checked out Breaking Dawn Part 2. Here's the thing: I just have never been crazy into the whole vampire thing. It sucks, too, because there are some super hunky actor vampires out there, namely Ian Somerhalder and Mr. Robert Pattinson himself.
I had a few thoughts of what I'd be getting into at the theater. To be real, I didn't think the acting would be that good, I hoped to see Taylor Lautner with his shirt off, and after reading through some of the spoilers, I expected to do a whole lot of "awww"-ing.
What I got, though, wasn't what I really expected at all. Primarily the battle scene. The hardcore battle scene. The battle scene that I had no clue was even going to happen. All 27 minutes intense minutes of it that transformed me from anti-Twilight to, well, not so anti-Twilight.
Before we really get started here, I just want to say for the record that I only glazed over spoilers and never really read anything that gave away the plot of Breaking Dawn Part 2.
The effects in the battle scene were pretty damn good, and there were a whole slew of times that I wanted to go and cover my eyes, scared to see someone else's head get ripped off or attacked.
What struck me the most, though, was the way that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart really came alive (figuratively speaking, of course) in the heat of combat. To see Kristen with such crazy expressions on her face, I was surprised how much I really believed her maternal instincts when it came to protecting Renesmee.
As for RPattz, well, he looks hella good flying 30 feet through the air. Granted I have no clue how Hollywood works their magic, but it was just about as believable as a high-intense battle could be. And oh god! I was so nervous when I thought he was going to fall to his doom. No! Not that beautiful face!
Was I bummed that the action wasn't "really happening"? Yeah, of course. But hey, that's what movies do. Do I think I'll backtrack and watch all the other twilight movies? Eh, maybe one day. For now, though, it's kind of cool to finally know what the buzz is about.
What did you think of the battle scene in Breaking Dawn Part 2? Have you seen all of the Twilight movies?

i have seen all the movies, and the books, books are lot more in them,then movies, but i enjoyed the whole cast, that brought us the story to life, yes i m a lover of all . the battle scene was only a reminder from alice, of what would be there future ,if they was to fight,with losses on all three sides, yes i liked the scene, glad it was just in alices head,though , theres so many haters of the story, and the cast, crazy,as its, and done; so well bye cast, that it is the best love story. even in the other vampire storys, there not real........................................
Being a Twihard book fan, and one that had to be badgered to read them, once I read them, I was HOOKED!! I could NEVER have watched the movies without 1st falling in love with the stories. Needless to say, when the battle scene happened I was SO MAD, I was thinking of walking out! I mean, how DARE they change the ending of my beloved books! Glad I resisted the urge, and in retrospect, this is how the last book SHOULD HAVE ended, perfect...
The surprise ending was AMAZING. I dont know how anyone could not enjoy that!
I loved the twist they did on the ending, i was sitting there with my jaw hanging when carlisle got his head ripped off and got soo into it then poof! it was all alice's vision...loved it!! So damn sad this is the end though :(
I LOVED the battle scene!!! At first of course I didnt because I didnt know what the hell was happening and then about a minute into it i thought okay this has to be Alice's vision... But then it just kept GOING and GOING and I started freaking out some more! haha I thought it was a perfect twist from the book because you dont get to see exactly what Alice had invisioned in the book. They did a perfect job on this movie!!

Snapshots and Snapshooters: Imaging Our Lives (2006)
Snapshots and Snapshooters: Imaging Our Lives
A discussion led by Frances Robb
Are you a snapshooter? If you are, you're not alone; we have become a nation of snapshooters.
How has that changed us?
Since snapshot photography developed (no pun intended) in the late 19th century, the democratic idea of putting cameras in the hands of everyone who wants to point and shoot has revolutionized our visual imaging of family and friends. Instead of infrequent and formal studio portraits, a profusion of snapshots documents the lives of ordinary Americans.
Snapshots are the visual testimony of our personal lives. They capture individual elements in our lives whose importance is universal: our proudest and happiest moments (new baby, graduation, new car, vacations); our increasingly casual lifestyle; the importance of time spent with family and friends.
Bring a few of your favorite snapshots and join us on November 8, 2006 at noon at the Main Library for Frances Robb's discussion of how the change from formal to informal photography has changed the way we look at history. After a slideshow of mostly Alabama snapshots, we will discuss and share our own photos.
About This Presentation
This presentation is part of the Alabama Humanities Foundation (AHF) 2005-2006 Speaker in the House program. The Alabama Humanities Foundation is a nonprofit organization funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (of which the AHF is the state affiliate), as well as by corporate and individual donors. The Foundation is dedicated to the promotion and celebration of the humanities throughout the state of Alabama and, to that end, conducts its own statewide programs and awards grants, on a competitive basis, to nonprofit organizations for humanities projects.

State getting ready for SR 543 upgrade
The Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT) has begun drilling test holes at the corner of D Street and the truck route (Highway 543) in preparation for a project that will lower and widen the highway, set for next year. The contractor, Condon-Johnson & Associates of Tukwila, has been operating a large hydraulic drill and a crane at the site for the past two weeks.
The holes are being drilled, according to Philip Larsen, state project inspector working out of the DOT's Bellingham office, to see what kind of engineering will be required to create retaining walls on either side of the lowered highway. "We're drilling six holes from 25 to 72 feet deep and three to four feet wide, will fill them with concrete and then dig a trench along one side to see if they deflect under a side load. That will help us come up with engineering specification when we put the project out for bids."
Larsen said that the ridge is mostly made out of clay, but that they have occasionally hit some large granite boulders. To give an idea of the size of the project, which includes an overpass for D Street, Larsen pointed out that all the drilling equipment and the test holes are sitting in the highway right-of-way. "It goes all the way to the fence that's east of the truck route," Larsen said.

VOLUME 52. ISSUE 1 TUESDAY. JUNE 18. 1991 TEJ NPO 1 1 SlG ST Weber State University Ogden, Utah Holding on until the end CARRIE JARDINE enjoys a few moments with her daughter before stepping Into the processional for the convocation of the school of arts and humanities to receive her bachelors degree in public relations. Michelle Kunzler, also a public relations graduate, goes through the procession in her mind.. i i I V i N v. ' . - , s r - H 1 ! Weber State University awards degrees to its first 2,600 graduates Honorary doctoral degrees awarded to three Weber State contributers By B.A. Bridenbecker News editor of The Signpost DANIELLE MABEYWf SIGNPOST PATRICK MCNAULTY Is excited by the broad job market. Faculty, dressed in their own school gowns and colors, filed into the Dee Events Center and lined up to greet and shake hands with the graduating class of 1991 . Pomp and Circumstance played as they paraded by thier professors and advisors who congradulated them as they passed. WSU graduation showed off proud WSU professors and faculty and students at their ceremonial best. President Paul H. Thompson welcomed students, faculty, staff, family and friends to the event and bid a fond farewell to the retiring faculty. Thompson also reflected for a moment on the death of Dr. Michael Cousens, a member of the faculty that was killed in an accident during the academic year. "Michael Cousens," he said, "will be sorely missed." A student greeting was then given by Jennifer Hurst, ASWSU academic vice president of '90-'91 . Hurst remarked that although she, as a graduating senior, has come so far in her quest for knowledge, she realizes that she and the class of '91 still have so much to learn. Thompson then remarked on his first year as president, noting the change in status from college to university. "As a student here in 1958, the student body was 1,950; we had 79 members of the faculty and 39 staff members. There were five buildings and at commencement 399 degrees and certificates were handed out." Much has changed since Weber State became a university. 'This year we have 13,500 students, 2,600 graduating seniors, 440 faculty members and 660 staff members," he said, illustrating the enormous growth that the institution has undergone in the 33 years since he was a senior. Honorary Doctor of Humanities were then awarded to Wilma Grose, Telitha Ellis Lindquist, and former president of Weber, Stephen D. Nadauld. Grose received her honorary degree for her work as a librarian from 1939 to 1975. She served as assistant librarian, head librarian and head cataloguer. During her career, she supervised an eight-year project to reclassify the library holdings from the Dewey Decimal System to the Library of Congress Classification. Grose also spent more than 20 years compiling a historical record of the institution. (See GRADUATE page 2) Weber State becomes Boys' State r iiiwfcitmtntGim? for a week of political experiences Entertainment By Lorin J. May Managing editor of The Sgnpost Last week hundreds of select senior boys from nearly every high school in Utah came to WSU, forsaking family, friends and girlfriends to participate in Boys' State. Each returned home Saturday with tired eyes, new friends, wild stories to tell and a greater appreciation for the workings of state government. Boys' State is a fictional 51st state, with a constitution and government format similar to Utah's. The 390 participants were divided into cities and counties and assigned affiliation with either the "Federalist" or "Nationalist" po litical parties (which have no platform and no similarity to any existing party). Participants submitted forms for candidacy, held caucuses, elections, and debated legislation at every level from city councilman to governor. Travis Seegmiller is typical of the caliber of individuals who attend Boys' State - only a limited number of boys from each school can attend, so most schools send some of their best students. The boys then go through another selection procedure conducted by Boys' State officials. Female high school students attend Girls' State at Southern Utah University in Cedar City. Seegmiller was elected governor this year, and unlike other elected officials, will return next year to govern Boys' State. He beat out several other candidates with his friendly countenance, adown-to-earth style and a super-short haircut he got a few weeks ago after he was elected student body president of Pineview High School in St. George (one of his campaign promises was to shave his head "as squeaky as Michael Jordan's" if elected). "I didn't even know I was going to run," Seegmiller said of his governorship. Before coming WSU last week he "decided to go as far as (he) could," but had already agreed to allow another boy from his school to run for governor. Only after being elected as mayor of his (See BOYS page 4) 5 Meet "Straightjacket ," a very tight-knit band. Sports Weber State bucks the competition to go to national rodeo finals

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1991-06-18, Vol. 52, No. 1
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Liz Cheney's S.F. ad man 'didn't see it coming'
Veteran San Francisco ad man Bob Gardner got a call from Liz Cheney on Monday with the surprising news that she was dropping her Republican U.S. Senate bid in Wyoming. And he'd be one of the first to know: He's known Dick Cheney's eldest daughter since she was 10 years old, and he's worked with […] [Read More]

Ext4 Users Report Data Loss
The Ubuntu User Forum reports users with data loss after installing applications on the ext4 filesystem. Kernel developer Ted Ts'o is already on top of it.
A user reported as bug #317781 the data loss problem involving a Kubuntu Jaunty installation on the ext4 filesystem: "The first time I had this problem was a few days ago when after a power loss ktimetracker's config file was replaced by a 0 byte version." The problem recurred during a system failure: "After a clean reboot pretty much any file written to by any application (during the previous boot) was 0 bytes." In his case the KDE and Plasma configuration data was reset and MySQL files vanished. Another user ran into the same issue with a Gentoo installation on ext4.
As it became clear that the issue was hitting a number of users, kernel expert and pioneer ext4 developer Theodore Ts'o rushed into the discussion: "The short answer is (a) yes, I'm aware of it, (b) there is a (partial) solution, (c) it's not yet in mainline, and as far as I know, not in an Ubuntu Kernel, but it is queued for integration at the next merge window, after 2.6.29 releases, and (d) this is really more of an application design problem more than anything else."
Ts'o, current chief technologist at the Linux Foundation, took time in his responses to the bug to explain his work on ext4 and hands-on approaches to resolving the data loss problem (especially in this reply). He sees the cause of the problem to be the delayed allocation before a data commit in ext4 of 60 seconds (designed to enhance security and performance). The ext3 interval used to be 5 seconds, which Ts'o says began to be an expectation among developers: "Since ext3 became the dominant filesystem for Linux, application writers and users have started depending on this, and so they become shocked and angry when their system locks up and they lose data --- even though POSIX never really made any such guaranteed."
To help ease the file loss problem, Ts'o recommends for both ext3 and ext4, "If you want to force things to be stored on disk, you must use fsync() or fdatasync()." As an aside, Linux Magazine Online recently aired a video of Ts'o describing the stability of ext4 and its advantages over the experimental btrfs filesystem.

Tackling drug dealing, prostitution, robberies, and aggravated assaults in Northeast Austin is keep police busy. One of the hot spots for crime is the corner of Manor Road and Rogge Lane.
Austin Senior Police Officer, Michael Cole, patrols the area.
"This area is known for drugs, prostitution, also robberies and assaults. A lot of people hang out here and pretend they're going to catch the bus and in turn they are really selling drugs," said Cole.
Cole works the area police call IDA sector. He points out another problem spot, the Manor Palms Apartments off Manor Road. In fact, he considers this the worst complex in IDA because of the amount of calls he takes for violent and property crimes.
"It's high for both," said Cole.
But crimes can happen in quiet areas too.
Officer Cole says Brunswick Drive isn't near major roads. While neighbors love the peace and quiet, Cole says, criminals do too.
Cole pointed out one home at the end of the street that has been burglarized twice by the same suspect. It sits next to a park, separated by a low fence and a lot of brush. There's still glass on the ground from the second attempted break in. Police say the three suspects used the low fence to get in and out.
"That side window is pretty hidden from the playground and the street, you can't really see who's back here," said Cole.
In the middle of all this criminal activity sits the Trails at Vintage Creek on Northeast Drive.
Officer Cole is here every day, either responding to a call or just stopping by. The complex used to attract drug dealers in its playground area. But after installing lights with cages, drug dealers and users are gone.
That's just one of many things Community Manager, Mandy Adams, has taken to reduce crime.
"We do background checks obviously. We do have several different initiatives here where we try to get residents involved. We have a courtesy nightly patrol. We've also done all of our lighting which has helped tremendously. The dark spots are gone," said Adams.
Adams also recently starting using Krimelabb, a website that takes Austin Police data and makes it consumer friendly.
Adams says she checks it to make sure tenants aren't in trouble with the law. If they are, they have to leave.
"It was actually committed at a local business where they had broken in and stolen some things. Well upon looking at it, I realized it was a tenant at our complex that did that. I wouldn't have been aware of that had I not seen that is a violation of their lease and was able to ask them to move out," said Adams.
Officer Cole says Adams calls police a lot and that's helpful in cutting down on crime.
The complex is also dedicated to helping its residents.
The non-profit group, Foundation Communities, runs the Trails at Vintage Creek. It took over ten years ago. The group turns rough and neglected apartment complexes into livable affordable housing for the low income, no income, victims of domestic and sexual abuse, and refugees.
Refugees like 44-year-old Jeremiah Balingene, who left Congo and brought his family to Austin three years ago because there was too much fighting in his country and he didn't feel safe.
Foundation Communities not only gave them housing but taught them about simple life skills like dental care. Adams also hired him.
"It's like family, for me they work like family, friendly," said Balingene.
Crime still occurs at the Trails at Vintage Creek.
Car break-ins are a problem as well as domestic violence.
But Officer Cole says he wished all apartment managers were as hands-on as Adams, making a difference caring about her tenants and the community.
Foundation Communities has a total of 13 apartment complexes in Austin.

The 6,233cc bi-turbo V12 is built to the latest 750-hp V12 S specification now offered for all Mercedes V12 and Maybach models. The extra 20 hp comes from larger turbochargers, redesigned manifolds and revised ECU mapping. As before, peak torque is held down to 1,100Nm (811 lb-ft) to avoid transmission and axle meltdown.
The Brabus Widestar body styling kit for the GLK normally accommodates 9.0 and 10.5x21-inch alloys with 255/35 and 295/30 rubber. To fill out the big arches convincingly, the track is further widened using 20mm and 35mm spacers.
However, as reducing drag for the Nardo top-speed event was a priority, Brabus used 9.0x 21-inch wheels and 255/35 tires with 16mm spacers on each corner. Carbon-fiber wheel covers with a painted-on Brabus alloy wheel design help the barn-door aerodynamics of this chunky SUV.
The GLK V8 I drove recently had non-adjustable sport suspension, but the 4,365-pound GLK V12 uses a re-rated version of the fully adjustable coilover suspension from the Bullit.
The springs are linear in front and progressive at the rear, while the dampers have independent adjustment for bounce and rebound control. The brakes use 380mm vented discs in front with 12-pot callipers, and 360mm discs with six-pot callipers at the rear.
While the Brabus GLK V8 feels like a factory car that Mercedes should add to the standard model line-up, the GLK V12 is a brutal device that can shred the egos of unsuspecting supercar drivers with a twitch of your right foot-the ultimate Q-car.
TH2 RS-Berlin Airlift
Most of the German tuner cars that turned up at this year's Nardo event would give any enthusiast wet dreams, but the contender that raised my eyebrows the highest for its sheer ingenuity was a van.
I noticed the TH Automobile TH2 RS on the afternoon I arrived, when we assembled in one of the garages for a sandwich. Cars taking part in the event are kept undercover in two adjoining garages overnight, and as I was standing around in one of them chatting with the tuners, I heard the familiar deep growl of a tuned Porsche Turbo exhaust.
I turned around expecting to see a sleek be-spoilered 911, but instead got an eyeful of Kermit green VW T5 bus backing into the garage. It was one of those situations where the brain either goes into overdrive or shuts down completely.
Mouths hung open as the green bus came to a halt. The driver moved over from the centrally positioned driver seat, opened the door and smiled as he got out.
Then he casually walked around to the other side and opened the side door to give us a better view of the interior. What followed was like the mountain scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind as everyone peered inside. At that point, he could have walked straight past us waving gold ingots and nobody would have noticed.
Stripped out and clad in lightweight side panels, with five lightweight carbon race seats, the interior was otherwise as bare as Mother Hubbard's proverbial cupboard.
The central driving position takes its cues from the McLaren F1, the instrument pack is Porsche GT3, and the dashboard is a bespoke molding, created at great expense to match the high quality of the rest of the van, whose new front end even has bi-xenon lights.
I collared Sven Thomsen, owner of Berlin-based TH Automobile, whose company specializes in the installation of Porsche 996 and 997 mechanicals in VW T4 and T5 vehicles.
Thomsen explained that because the boxy VW T5 bus has nearly twice as much body area as a 911, it is not immediately obvious that the green paintwork is the hue applied to the current Porsche GT3 RS. Its black-painted 20-inch alloys mimic the GT3 RS look too, as do the twin centrally positioned exhaust outlets.

The debate about Graham Hancock's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Graham Hancock's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Graham Hancock's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.
Chris Anderson, TED Curator

Michael Austin 10+Mar 22 2013: I don't know Hancock's work. I do know TED's reputation and now its perspective. After listening to this just this one of Hancock's talks, it has *nothing* to with good science or bad science. TED's suggestion - "Is this an idea worth spreading, or misinformation? Good science or bad science? What's the evidence for either position?" - is nearly meaningless to me in this case.
Hancock's talk crosses interdisciplinary boundaries into impassioned spirituality. I wouldn't necessarily call it science. I might call it philosophy. So, TED, when will you remove Billy Graham's talk from rotation? He might have been OK with people listening to big pharma who constantly recommend their especially damaging, especially dangerous, over-prescribed, off-schedule psychiatric drugs, or even alcohol from a daily glass of wine. I'm not.
TED, your sponsors from their untouchable, virtual corporate states, and your anonymous scientistic board who don't have the courage of their reputations at stake have spoken. You have done their bidding. Aside from the many references to ayahuasca which seem like a polite sales talk, I'd rather put my faith in people with courage, like Hancock, to notice what's happening to the only planet capable of supporting life.
And now, in some respects, TED is simply doing what any other big business does. It's protecting its sponsors and the party line. It doesn't make any difference that TED is a 501(c)(3). You're now acting like a corporation in which the primary mission is to perpetuate the dominant paradigm. All you have to do to find out how that's worked out for us is to look around you, and see a planet in peril from our ecocidal behaviors. Science hasn't solved what Hancock talked about, and it won't. Our values, or lack of them, are what power us.

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) -- A local non-profit leader has announced her retirement. Most recently, Deanna DePree has been the Executive Director of Life Services System. DePree began her career at a time when advocacy for intentional creative development for infants and children was just beginning, in 1983. In 2003, she helped create and launch the Michigan Parent and Information Resource Center. Deanna's Playhouse is one of the few facilities of its kind in the country and serves as a model program.
Her late husband, Thomas, was a one-time Ottawa County Commissioner, and her son Hopwood is a noted independent film maker and founder of the Waterfront Film Festival that is held annually in South Haven.
Deanna DePree will continue on the speaking circuit but said she's looking forward to retirement, spending more time with her family, traveling, working about a book on parenting and also on a new children's series.

Day Z photo diary
I spent eight consecutive hours in Day Z on Saturday. What began as a screenshot of a goat (that we were about to shoot) became, as it often does in Day Z, an afternoon worth documenting. We hiked. We crawled. We looted abandoned convenience stores. We looked and listened. We ran screaming from undead priests. We got lost. We ate beans.
Follow along at home with this colorful Arma 2 map of Chernarus.
Comrades:Keenan, Andrew, Ben, Guillaume, and other friends-of-friends.
Goat see
It starts with this goat and a well-intentioned quest for his innards. After spawning on the coast, we rally up in a southwest town called Bor. With noise being a constant cost for defending yourself or hunting, Guillaume.

It's the beginning of the New Year, but we are not out of the woods yet when it comes to viruses and the flu.
Valley doctors have been inundated with patients, and they're saying the time spent with loved ones wrapping up last year could be why some of us are starting off the New Year sick in bed.
Doctors have been busy diagnosing tens of thousands of people with the flu and other respiratory illnesses here in the valley.
Medics say the illnesses can be traced back to the holidays. It's a time when families come together to exchange gifts, hugs and germs.
Just a couple days into the New Year and doctors are working longer hours to help patients.
There have been lines of people waiting to see the doctor. On average the doctor might see 45 to 90 patients a day.
"We are seeing lots of flu right now, especially within the past 10 days, we've seen a huge flux of flu cases," says Travis Tirk.
Travis Tirk is a physician's assistant at NextCare in Tempe. Thousands of people in the valley have come down with something and their ailments can be traced back to the colder weather and the holidays.
"You get a lot of people in closer confines, it's not uncommon to pass viruses and bugs to each other."
Irena Meyer's entire family is suffering after spending the holidays together.
"I absolutely know that my niece got it, we all went to Christmas together, my daughter got it. At that point, then I got it, then my boyfriend got it," she says.
Meyer has flu-like symptoms.
"There's not really anything you can do at that point cause Christmas is about family, so we will all share the sickness."
The flu season in Arizona lasts from October to March.
It's too late to get a flu shot, but Tirk says you can ward off viruses and the flu by drinking lots of water, getting plenty of iron, vitamin c, and eating greens and vegetables.

Secular Coalition for America - Tax Policy http://www.secular.org/taxonomy/term/48/0 en The $71 Billion Break: Why Reforming Religious Subsidies Will Benefit Us All http://www.secular.org/blogs/dan-antoszyk/71-billion-break-why-reforming-religious-subsidies-will-benefit-us-all-0

Now more than ever, the United States needs to change its laws surrounding religious subsidies. Last year, the state of Florida cut over $1.3 billion from the budget meant for public schools as well as $1.1 billion for police and firefighter pensions. If Florida had collected property taxes on religious institutions, the revenue would have been $2.2 Billion, almost enough to cover both of these budgetary expenses. In fact, the debate over religious tax exemptions has recently been distilled down to one number: 71 billion dollars. That's the total amount that the government forgoes every year in religious subsidies, and clearly, there are places that this money could be put to use.

It's not that religious organizations are unimportant to our civil society, nor should churches necessarily be stripped of all the privileges they enjoy. Rather, we should reform our tax law to ensure that churches really are doing good work with the money they are given. It will not weaken religious groups to put them on equal footing with the other non-profit organizations in our country.

The $71 billion sum comes from Prof. Ryan Cragun of the University of Tampa. He and his students arrived at this number by adding up the various government subsidies that churches enjoy (these include the parsonage exemption, income tax subsidies, and property tax subsidies among others). Other charitable groups are also eligible for some of these benefits—the difference is that secular nonprofits are responsible for reporting their finances. If a nonreligious charity wants to maintain its tax free status, they must prove they are addressing the issues they claim to work on—such as poverty, homelessness, or health care. The American Red Cross, for instance, spends 92.1 percent of its budget directly on the needs of those it aims to assist.

However, the primary function of a church is not to provide charity as much as it is to address spiritual concerns. For example, the Mormon Church gives about 0.7 percent of its annual income to charitable causes. Other churches, like the United Methodist Church, give significantly more (about 29 percent of its annual income 2010). Yet, as the study's authors point out, even if a 50 percent cutoff is used to determine whether an institution is primarily a charitable organization, there may not be a single religion that would qualify.

Even so, churches do not have to apply for tax exempt status; they get it automatically. Additionally, while all other 501(c)(3) charities are restricted in their political activities, churches go as far as to intentionally flout these rules, blatantly daring the IRS to take actions against them. This lack of regulation is especially troubling considering the $71 billion of government money at stake. Doesn't the government have an interest in ensuring that a church is respecting its 501(c)(3) designation, and doesn't the privileging of religious groups over secular institutions represent an unconstitutional endorsement of religion?

Not everyone believes in the same answers to these questions. In a May 2012 New York Times opinion piece, Prof. Mark Rienzi, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, responded directly to a prompt about religious tax breaks. He wrote that "What is good for religion is good for America," and noted that religious exemptions (including tax laws) help churches remain independent from the government. These institutions then use their independence to act as instrumental forces for good in the public sphere. As evidence, Rienzi asks us to look at the history of the United States: From Quakers leading the charge against slavery to Martin Luther King Jr. and the SCLC, the whole nation benefits when religious groups share their beliefs with the American community.

With this popular line of reasoning, Rienzi manages to sidestep the question at hand. He swiftly frames his argument as a general defense of all religious privileges and thus avoids engaging the concern of tax exemptions in any detail (while also declining to mention any of the religiously informed bigotry of our past and present).

As a start, religious organizations should separate their charitable activities and finances from their religious activities and finances. This way, we can be sure that money is not being used for political or personal purposes. However, even this practical solution is unlikely to gain much traction in today's political environment, because Rienzi and others fear that by keeping church financial records honest, we may encroach on the crucial "breathing space" that religious individuals and institutions need to exist. Ultimately however, a church that operates like any other charity will depend less on government exemptions and will be more likely to do work that does the most good for the most people in our society.

Publisher Comments:
Internationally acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Carlos Ruiz Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic Barcelona and creates a rich, labyrinthine tale of love, literature, passion, and revenge in which the heroes of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game must contend with a nemesis that threatens to destroy them.
Barcelona, 1957. It is Christmas, and Daniel Sempere and his wife, Bea, have much to celebrate. They have a beautiful new baby son named Julian, and their close friend Fermin Romero de Torres is about to be wed. But their joy is eclipsed when a mysterious stranger visits the Sempere bookshop and threatens to divulge a terrible secret that has been buried for two decades in the city's dark past. His appearance plunges Fermin and Daniel into a dangerous adventure that will take them back to the 1940's and the early days of Franco's dictatorship. The terrifying events of that time launch them on a search for the truth that will put into peril everything they love and ultimately transform their lives.
Performed by Peter Kenny

Anonymous said: Hi, I would like to know about PT01 o INCOTEX fit. I would buy for the first time these brands. I normally wear a size 34 or 50 (Italian size) but with slim pants sometimes I take a 52. What do you recommend me? Bye
I think you can go with your regular size, in my opinion PT01/Incotex trousers aren't extremely slim like some fashion brands are. However, PT01 have a slim called super slim fit and Incotex also have a fit called skinny fit so make sure that you buy their regular slim.
My best advice is to ask the personnel at the store or to mail the customer service if it is a webshop, they can probably answer your question better than me. Good luck!

Good morning!
Not much chance today to our progressive Spring-like weather pattern. Besides some spotty showers and possible thunderstorms, most areas stay dry on this Friday.
Today we'll see a slight chance of rain and thunderstorms around lunchtime after a partly sunny start. Most spots remain dry with daytime highs in the low 70s.
Overnight same story. Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 40s.
Saturday will be breezy. After a quiet start look for a chance of rain showers through the afternoon and highs in the mid 60s.

Latin GRAMMYs Set For Nov. 3
In Los Angeles
Sixth annual show will be broadcast from the Shrine Auditorium
The Latin Recording Academy announced today that the 6th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will take center stage on Thursday, Nov. 3, and for the second straight year will originate from Los Angeles' historic Shrine Auditorium. The show — which will feature performances from chart-topping Latin musicians — will be broadcast for the first time on the Univision Network from 8 – 11 p.m. (ET/PT). In addition to its U.S. broadcast, the 6th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast in approximately 100 countries worldwide.
The 6th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will feature 43 categories, including Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist. Nominations for the 6th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be announced on Aug. 23 at The Music Box @ Fonda in Hollywood.
"The Latin GRAMMYs recognizes musical excellence while spotlighting the very best in Latin music from around the world," said Latin Recording Academy President Gabriel Abaroa. "With our new broadcast partner Univision, we look forward to giving music fans everywhere three hours of live performances they'll never see anywhere else but on a Latin GRAMMY stage."
As this country's No. 1 Spanish-language network, Univision consistently delivers record-breaking audiences for its specials. In the '04 – '05 season, Univision broadcast all of the top 30 entertainment specials among Hispanics of all ages, including the key demographics of adults 18 – 34 and 18 – 49. This season also increasingly saw the No. 1 Spanish-language network take its place in the "Big 4" network landscape. Univision was the No. 1 network in prime time among all adults 18 – 34, regardless of language, on 35 nights so far this season.

March PSCPets Rescue Outreach Program
Sheltie Rescue of Utah
Our featured organization for this month is Sheltie Rescue of Utah. This non-profit organization has been a dedicated customer of PSCPets.com products for their shelties. Because of their loyal business with us and their dedication to helping Shelties in need, we are offering them a chance to earn free products!
For every $3 you donate to PSCPets.com, we will be able to donate an order of PSCPets brand Intelliflora, which retails at $14.99. We cover the rest of the product cost! Learn more about how to donate here: March PSCPets Rescue Outreach.
Intelliflora is a great product to share with the shelties at this shelter, as dogs that experience change and stressful living situations (such as being homeless, malnourished, etc) can exhibit digestive problems. This product is also essential for senior dogs that seem to experience digestive problems more often than younger animals.
How Can I Donate?
The residents at Sheltie Rescue of Utah would really appreciate your help! If you have $3 to spare, please consider donating it to help provide PSCPets brand Intelliflora for these rescued dogs. All donations are used exclusively for the care of rescued Shelties. They are tax deductible and you can donate on their web site via PayPal, you can also sponsor a rescued sheltie to help cover medical expenses.
Interested in volunteering or fostering? The application can also be found through the website.
If you are a non-profit organization hoping to be a part of our PSCPets.com Rescue Outreach Program, please contact us to be considered for our special discounts!
About Sheltie Rescue of Utah
The mission of Sheltie Rescue of Utah is to rescue lost and discarded Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties), rehabilitate them physically and mentally, and to find new homes in which they will flourish for the rest of their lives. SRU is a 501( c ) ( 3 ) Charitable Organization which does not participate in euthanasia.
What sets SRU apart is the fact that it does not operate as a shelter, but as an adoptive foster service to temporarily house and evaluate the shelties brought in. These pooches live with people as opposed to in kennels, and are cared for by individuals briefly until forever homes are found for them!
The utmost care: SRU diligently searches for the right adoptive families, and utilize foster homes to evaluate the physical and behavioral characteristics of their shelties. Rescued dogs are house trained and rehabilitated. All medical problems are addressed while the shelties are cared for in their foster homes. Currently there are 11 dogs being cared for at this organization that are ready for adoption. You can browse these Shelties and learn about their stories here.

Interested in adopting a puppy? SRU says DO NOT BUY from pet stores! "While there may be pet shops that sell dogs and cats that are healthy and come from reputable sources, we haven't found them," states our friends at SRU.
Puppy mills are unethical and only exist for the purpose of manufacturing puppies as money-making products. The puppies you see in pet stores are bought from puppy farms. They often have questionable parentage and are born in inhumane and unsanitary conditions. These poor animals are shipped through horrendous means, stuffed into large boxes and often arriving sick or damaged.
Unfair puppy mill prices.
A poor condition of the puppies upon arrival can cause a markup in the selling price in order to offset the cost of making the puppies look presentable and adoptable. In short, the puppies you see in pet shops have probably led unhealthy existences and are more expensive than they should be, all for the sake of profit.
Many shelters and animal activists urge consumers not to support pet stores dealing in dogs and cats.
Consider adopting an adult dog.
Though most of the Shelties found at shelters like SRU are no longer puppies, you can be assured that they have been well cared for and prepared to come home with you. In fact, all dogs are spayed or neutered at SRU, not to mention the fact that most adult dogs are housebroken and probably more trained than a new puppy would be. Imagine skipping all the messes and chewed up furniture!
Fair and ethical.
Adoption fees are fairly priced and go towards the operation of the non-profit organization to ensure a healthy environment for the rescued dogs. Visit the SRU web site to browse shelties in need of homes, learn more about their adoption fees (which helps to cover costs of living for your dog, sometimes amounting in thousands of dollars!) and fill out a 3-part adoption application under "Online Forms."
SRU also supports your decision to find your next family member from your local Humane Society and save a life from euthanasia!

I held your hand, You squeezed tightly
When I embraced further.
I held you closer still, You did not resist
When I rested my head on yours.
I realised then, I realised all at once
How much you meant, how much I wanted.
Never been so scared, The thought that time
Of what could have happened.
Yet all that time, All that time
(The person who cared the most...)
In your mind of minds, They were not there-
The person who cared the most...
The things you said, thought, meaningless
To the one who looked out for you.
In your confusion, You pleaded love
In your sobriety, You demand forget.
