About A.VogelBased on the lifelong work of Alfred Vogel, Bioforce USA is the premier supplier of highest quality Natural Products throughout the United States. Bioforce USA was founded by industry leader Paul Ross to continue his longstanding tradition of marketing the world's most relied upon products of natural origin to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Bioforce USA's product repertoire includes Europe's finest manufacturers of products that have scientific support in their use and function, as well as a history of millions of satisfied consumers. It is their mission to support the Health Food Channel with superior quality products that cannot be found anywhere else, and that consumers can trust in and rely upon.
Bioforce USA is approached continually to act as the U.S. sales and marketing representative for numerous companies and products. But they take time to thoroughly investigate each, and select only those that are truly natural, safe, and effective and that have a unique niche for natural products retailers.

Vogel's aim was to supply a growing number of patients with natural remedies and other health-giving products which met his own high standards. Besides herbal and homeopathic medicines, Bioforce also produces organic foods and dietary products as well as body care products, all prepared from Alfred Vogel's own recipes and according to his specifications. Bioforce is active in 33 countries, with five "daughter" companies and seven partner companies, and over 600 employees.

Bioforce USA provides its retail community with a host of promotional support services, such as co-op advertising, beautiful educational brochures, counter and floor displays, samplings and periodic specials as incentives.

blinkx Teams With Miniweb
blinkx announced today that they are working on a technology integration with Miniweb. This will help everyone get their interactive videos and web-styled adverts on television. Miniweb will use Blinkx video search and other features as part of its online platform.
What this means is that both broadcast and internet video search will be available via Miniweb's broadband connections. This will affect more than 9 million UK households and will cover over 600 interactive TV sites.
Additionally, other blinkx features like recommendations and personalization will all be available through the platform for the end-users.
It also means that those attached pre and post-roll ads as well as any mid-roll ads will find their way to televisions attached to the service. Or at least that's what we hope will happen right? There's nothing wrong with another 18 million eyes having the potential to see not only your videos but also the ads attached to them since that's a revenue channel for a lot of online video.
The announcement did not state much in the way of advertising or monetization potential for the video sites or creators but nothing is ever done without motivation and I'm sure there were large piles of motivation discussed in this deal.

Marketing expert Ross Fishman advises: "If you don't have a Facebook page already, create one." This advice is in Fishman's step-by-step guide for people who need to generate business for their companies.
Lots of folks in the dairy industry have followed this advice. For example, one of Dairy Today's 2014 Dollars and Sense contributors, Mark Rodgers, has a Facebook page for his Hillcrest dairy in Dearing, Ga.
Hopeful business generators are advised to keep their social media posts casual but professional. Indeed, dairy owners and operators need to be watchful about their posts on social media sites. They also need to be concerned about the messages their employees post on social media sites in order to avoid litigation.
Social media sample policies; Gary Rodgers facebook page
Unfortunately, some employees post unprofessional messages about themselves and their employers. For example, a Florida sheriff's deputy appeared in uniform on his MySpace page, wrote about putting people in jail and posted a list of his favorite things, which included swimming naked and drinking heavily.
Thirteen Virgin Atlantic cabin crew members posted disparaging remarks about the airline and its customers on Facebook. A Google new-hire divulged confidential information about the company's financial situation and planned product offerings in his blog.
The bad news for employers is that they may face legal liability when employees engage in this kind of activity, regardless of whether it happens at work or at home.
Employees who post derogatory comments about a co-worker's race, religion, age or other protected characteristic puts employers at risk of a discrimination claim.
Employees who post rumors or offensive false statements about co-workers put their employer at risk of a defamation claim. Employees who post sexually charged or offensive information put their employer at risk of a hostile work environment claim.
The good news for employers is that they may take steps to reduce the risk of liability. Employers may create a social media policy that, among other things:
Although employers are allowed to implement a social media policy, there are some legal constraints that they should consider before taking adverse action against employees. For example:
Employees need to know that misusing social media may have dire consequences for them as well as for their employer. The Florida sheriff's deputy mentioned above was fired for his posting, as were the 13 Virgin Atlantic crew members and the Google employee.

The Midwest will now have an electric vehicle hub in Chicago. The city will be home to viagra super active canada no prescription 280 charging stations built by utility company Exelon by the end of cost of levitra the year.
The charging stations will be located at shopping malls, both of the city's airports, rest stops along the Illinois Tollway and other various locations, and two will even be solar powered.
Chicago currently ranks in the top ten cities for hybrid owners, so the city is preparing for the roll out of plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles over the http://seyonic.com/generic-cialis-without-prescription next few years. With 280 charging stations, it's residents will have plenty of places to fill up their batteries. Until that influx of plug-in cars makes its way into the city though, the fleet of Chicago utility ComEd will use the charging stations.

With nearly every detail, including extensive 3-D images of the final design, being leaked and featured, we have nothing to do but wait for the C7 Corvette's official launch on January 13 at the NAIAS. Until that time, sit back and drool over this new teaser of the C7 that Chevrolet has posted online.
Dubbed "Creation," this teaser focuses on the creation and assembly of the highly anticipated sports car. It shows the lighter, yet stronger, chassis, floor pan, and the marriage of the LT1 6.2-liter small block V-8 engine and transmission assembly into the chassis, a sight to behold...
With Chevrolet gunning for the top spot in performance, precision is a must throughout its build, an aspect Chevrolet is really proud of in the new `Vette.
We can't wait for its official launch, which marks the dawn of a new era in American Performance. A car that sends chills down the spines of its European rivals and maybe even blow them out of the water (at least that's what Chevrolet claims).

We first publicized the case of Pedro Garcia nearly three years ago, but leads did not pan out and he remains on the run.
The FBI says he remains a danger to children.
Garcia was charged in Cook County with predatory criminal sexual assault, and a warrant for his arrest was issued in February 2010. He is accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl who was related to him and who lived in the same house he did. The FBI says the victim's mother walked in as an attack on her daughter was occurring. It says Garcia fled when confronted by the mother.
Both the young victim and her mother identified Garcia as the attacker.
Garcia has not been seen since. Chicago Police developed leads indicating he may have fled to Michigan. Garcia's sister lived in Pullman, Michigan at the time.
Police requested help from the FBI because it became an interstate case. In April 2010 a federal warrant was issued charging Garcia with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
There have been no recent leads or developments in the case. But the FBI agent handling the case believes there is good reason to suspect Garcia is still in the Midwest, either in Michigan or in the southwest suburbs, where he also has family and friends. He may also be in or around Chicago, where his last known address was on the 1600 block of North Drake Avenue. Agents hope a Fox 32 News viewer or web user may have seen Garcia or knows of his whereabouts and provides a tip.
Here is the FBI's description of Pedro Garcia:
-hispanic male
-52 years old
-5' 5''
-about 200 pounds
-medium complexion
-dark hair
-dark eyes
Pedro Garcia is considered armed and dangerous, if you see him you're asked to call police.

Topic - Climbing with tendonitis
as646 on 28 Jan 2013
I originally injured my wrist when I used to box -- it was actually the reason I stopped. I rested it for a few weeks and then I ended up starting climbing in September, and never had any troubles with it. However, in the past week or so (the last few days in particular) it's been giving me a lot of grief. If I extend it too far either forwards or backwards, I feel a sharp pain.
I went to the walk in clinic today, where they told me what I had already presumed to be the case; it was tendonitis. I was also told that I should take anti-anflammatories and cut down on climbing from 4 times a week to twice a week until it got better
This suprised me, as I would have assumed they would tell me to stop climbing completely. I would hate to be stuck not climbing for a month or so, so I'm happy to go out and climb, albeit at a slightly lower intensity than I normally do. But I'm still kind of worried that the doctor knows absolutely nothing about climbing and just thinks I'll be doing easy toproping or something.
Should it still be okay to climb on, and will climbing slow down the healing process?

NEW YORK — Traditional labor talks have made little progress in the ongoing NHL lockout, so the league and the players' association are going to try something different in an attempt to save the season.
A crew of six owners will meet with a handful of players on Tuesday in New York — one day before the league's board of governors meeting — without commissioner Gary Bettman and union executive director Donald Fehr. Bettman proposed the unique meeting on Wednesday when talks broke off following two days of negotiations with federal mediators, and it wasn't agreed to until Sunday.

On the lighter side, with sweet and racy cherry and rhubarb pie nuances. Not the alcohol bomb that Zin gets pegged for. This will actually pair nicely with food.
Member Store Reviews
Dark purple in the glass; spicy fruit notes on the nose suggesting densely packed layers. Brightly focused sour cherry emerges as the frontrunner followed by a sharply delineated hint of baking spice and the aroma of a loamy forest floor (in a good way). Not as heavy as your 15–16% abv fruit-bomb Zins, but this is delicious nonetheless, and a fantastic value.
Ripe, forward fruit with polished tannins is the gateway to this great Zin! Plenty of plum, black cherry and spice flavors throughout your glass. Mocha latte, toasted marshmallow, sweetened cranberry and white pepper bring it all together in the end with a little brambly nuance. Serve it with roasted pork dishes, Italian sweet sausages on seeded semolina bread, standing rib roasts and braised beef ribs with a Zinfandel reduction sauce.

Why do we rest on bye weeks? We saw what the one during the season did to the team when we almost lost to Oakland and Detroit. Shouldn't the team have at least done walk throughs instead of resting all week?

It seemed that whatever item Mark Shurtleff pointed to in his office, it held a story of second chances.
There's the twice-autographed Arnold Friberg painting. The once-confiscated and then-returned Golden Spike desk ornament commemorating completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in Utah. And then there's the Aztec Eagle medal — bestowed on him by then-President Vicente Fox of Mexico in 2006 and the highest honor that government can give to a non-Mexican.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
It was all being packed up Thursday morning — mover Jose Chavez preparing to bubble-wrap the medallion ensconced in a display case — as Shurtleff finished out the last of his days as Utah attorney general.
Shurtleff asked Chavez if he knew the story of what happened to the medal. Of course, Chavez didn't. Of course, Shurtleff was going to tell it to him.
Shurtleff, dressed in tan parachute pants, a black shirt and sneakers, told Chavez that after he got it, he took it to a friend in Springville to have it framed.
"Guess what happened?" Shurtleff asked. "It was stolen. Someone broke into the studio. They stole La Águila Azteca."
"Oh crap," Chavez said, studying the encased ornament.
"So, it was gone for two years," Shurtleff said. "And I didn't want to tell Mexico because I'd be like 'Can I get another one because mine got stolen?' I thought they'd be mad at me."
The other two movers packing boxes had slowed down to listen in. Shurtleff smiled at the growing audience.
"So they say Mexico is dangerous but it got stolen in Springville, Utah," Shurtleff said. "So, two years later — two years — I get a call from the man saying he came to work one morning and found a paper bag on the front step of his shop. Águila Azteca was in there."
The attorney general was still smiling. Chavez gave it another look and began wrapping it up. The movers began rolling 12 years of his life out the door on dollies and into storage. For the first time in a long time, Shurtleff wouldn't be an elected official. Instead, he'll start with a law firm, splitting his time between Washington, D.C., and Utah.
"I'm a little nervous," he said. "Will I be any good in private practice?"
Shurtleff's style » When Attorney General-elect John Swallow is sworn in Monday, Utah will get as deep a contrast in styles as one can imagine from the post's new occupant.
Swallow is a taciturn, reserved man who eschews the public eye. The 55-year-old Shurtleff, by comparison, can seem like a reality television star prone to polarizing audiences the moment he speaks.
Or tweets.
In his three terms, Shurtleff has been prolific and controversial on Twitter, outspoken against conservatives in his own party on gay rights and immigration, enraged at critics and media questioning ethics amid his fundraising prowess and very public about his recoveries from a motorcycle crash that smashed his leg and a diagnosis of advanced colon cancer.
That last one, coming in 2010, shattered his sense of immortality.
"It was a shock. Motorcycle accidents, 25 surgeries — busted my sternum and ribs — I've done a lot of stuff like that. Scuba diving, jumping out of planes — but I never thought I could be killed," Shurtleff said. "It never entered my mind. But then the doctor says you have a 50 percent chance of dying without chemo. Really? What is [the chance of survival] with chemo? He says, 'Maybe 60 [percent].' What? Sixty? I want to hear 90. It was an eye-opener. Yeah, I'm mortal."
It was during that cancer treatment that Shurtleff tapped out one of several tweets that dogged him and, at one point, had his staff confiscate his smartphone and limit his social media interactions for a while.
Debra Brown was convicted in the 1993 murder of 75-year-old Lael Brown and was sentenced to life in prison. But a judge in 2011 found her factually innocent of the crime and, from his hospital bed, Shurtleff tweeted.Next Page >

Is the new TED initiative of "Ads Worth Spreading" worth supporting?
I am pretty sure I will come off sounding like a hyper-critical pseudo-leftist sympathizer by putting this question up for debate. However, I feel it relates to a growing trend in contemporary life.
Firstly, is the TED initiative an endorsement of capitalism? Or to add a layer of criticism, is this a push towards cultural commodity fetishism as illustrated by Marx and elaborated by Benjamin? What happens in a society when the lines between culture, art, commerce, 'philanthropy' and development are blurred.
Or are we simply to accept that there exists a distinction between Art and Culture and the Art and Cultural industries? If so, how does that affect how we relate to things like TED, Museums and Academic institutions? Are we still capable of taking content at face value? Especially when a clear trajectory of an agenda surfaces (see TED and Africa, TED and Women, TED and the Acumen Fund)- albeit for an ultimately 'good' cause or one with seemingly good intentions?
On the other hand, if the only alternative to an Art as an industry is Art as therapy, is all art produced, regardless of intended implications (whether it be for a cause that is capital-averse or humanitarian, what is Art? Is it a socially dependent process requiring audience and a connotation of value?
I think this is a complex question that requires debate, however, does this inevitably take us to the conclusion that art is inherently capital-driven?

Hafiz Juma 100+Mar 24 2011: @ M.A.L.G., thanks for commenting. I don't mind at all. Harald's point is definitely relevant.
Something that I've been thinking about is the notion of accountability. If the aim of aws and the 'forward' thinking advertisements they promote is to create a greater level of accountability, what does that do the notion of universal suffrage?
Meaning, ultimately, no matter how well intentioned we want to think of an advertisement, it is still a device for enhancing brand equity and translating into profits. Looking at organizations corporate social responsibility program is a perfect example.
Nonetheless, the private sector has proven to be better suited than government in a lot of areas, particularly social services. Is aws a subtle nod towards this notion of private sector led policy and development by creating a culture and medium for critical engagement and accountability? Even if this is only a by-product, it is great that it will push the private sector into being more accountable. That said, who will they be accountable to? I am assuming customers or prospective customers. Even if the 'emergent markets' (the people who are exploited for their limited purchasing power) are one of these potential customers, inevitably, those who are bigger customers, with greater right to being accountable to will be calling the shots. So maybe we will have a say, but some people a bigger say than others? ....capital democracy
Mar 24 2011: I'm not a big fan of ads, and much less if they are forced on me.
However, we also need to be fair to TED and recognize that
1) TED is a non profit organization and placing ads is probably part of the way TED is paying its bills
2) I find TED is doing a pretty good job in placing the ads in a way that they are not annoying.
3) I think the initiative of ads worth spreading shouldn't be overestimated. It is a fairly minor segment within TED and for those with an aversion against ads, it's easy to avoid them completely.
Hafiz, I didn't understand the point of ads creating more accountability. What do you mean with that ? As you say, the ultimate goal of an ad is to increase profits for a company. Although ads are also used to further a cause or to increase awareness without the goal of profit.
Mar 25 2011: Harald, please don't get me wrong here. Perhaps I am being overly harsh to TED. It is definitely not my intention to villainize anyone. In fact, I have plenty of respect for TED. I suppose I am using them as an example for a much more complicated question.
To respond to your first question, that is my question. I am trying garner different people's interpretations of exactly that, what is art, in light of it the ad initiative? Is art only art when a commodity. Is it simply the industrialization of creativity, meaning, if art has to be seen, by default, practically it has to operate within a economic structure to do so. Is that something that we should accept?
Secondly, even though TED hasn't necessarily positioned itself as "the higher-learning institution", it is more and more being perceived as such. While I think this is an exaggeration, I think it is worth considering when TED starts an initiative like this. In a recent interview, Chris said that there is no road map for TED, however, that is hard to believe with these constant extensions to the brand. (see links at the bottom).
Finally, I agree, TED has to pay the bills. This was initially done through traditional sponsorship and ad revenue. By now putting a spotlight on these ads, does this relate to TED's sustainability or seeing a real value in the Ad's they are promoting.
The comment about ad's enhancing accountability, that was directly lifted from the video on what aws was. Watch it again, it may clarify what I was trying to say.
Mar 25 2011: Hafiz, there is a place to look at art from a philosophical point of view: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/art-definition/
It quickly becomes clear that a definition of art isn't an easy feat. For me, and probably for most people, art is something highly subjective.
For example, for some, graffiti on a house wall might be highly annoying, while others might look at it as a piece of art.
For me personally, art is something that stimulates my senses and feelings in a positive way. If we apply that to ads, there are ads that are funny, or even try to convey a message, or ads with great visual effects. That I might consider as a piece of art.
I don't understand the question of whether art is only art if an commodity. I think it doesn't matter whether it's a commodity or not. If I'm the only one on the planet who considers a particular painting a piece of art, then it IS art (at least for me, although being the only one, it might be a proof of pretty bad taste). Top songs in the charts can be considered a commodity, because there are probably million of people liking this particular song. In other words, art can be either, a commodity or something very exclusive. Was that more or less what you meant with your question ?

A diverse student body and faculty have long been cited as key elements for many of the colleges on our 2007 Best Schools for Hispanics lists.
Despite their efforts, attracting and keeping Hispanic students continue to be two of the colleges' toughest challenges even with the explosion in the Hispanic population, there are too many graduate schools competing for too few applicants.
For Arnold Ventura, a second-year MBA candidate at Stanford's business school and the first in his family to go to college, the "culture shock" of his first semester at UC Berkeley nearly caused him to flunk out of school.
"It was such a foreign experience, being away from my family, being in a large school with not a lot of Latinos ... it was a huge challenge," he recalls. "I had the same challenges as other students, but add to that set of challenges, being a Latino. I would look around the classroom at other students who didn't have my same background, my same vocabulary, or even same language; it started to affect my confidence."
Higher education is a social as well as academic experience, so attending a campus with at least some ethnic peers and faculty can make a big difference for any student.
Finding the right school is intensely personal, and although the process can't be reduced to an equation, certain objective criteria can help. Most college rankings, including our Top 10 Business, Law, Engineering, and Medical schools lists, take into account a school's academic excellence. But the Hispanic Business lists go beyond the straight curriculum questions to look at enrollment by U.S. citizens, faculty, student services, and retention rates.
"You can never be too complacent," says Derrick Bolton, director of MBA admissions at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. "You have to keep focusing on delivering the best experience you can; I look less at other business schools and more at what our expectations are of our students. Are we exceeding their expectations or failing them?"
The business school's approach appears to be working. Stanford University's Graduate School of Business tops this year's Top 10 Business Schools, a spot it has held for the last two years. Stanford also ranks No. 2 in our medical schools list and No. 8 among our selected law schools.
Stanford's business school also recruits Hispanic students through the Charles P. Bonini Partnership for Diversity Fellowship program. Before entering the MBA program, Bonini Fellows are placed in nine- to 12-month internships with participating corporate partners, which have included Eli Lilly and General Motors. Students are paid competitive salaries, and receive full-tuition grants for two years at the business school.
This fall, Stanford's business school will launch its new MBA curriculum, which allows each student to take courses that best match their background and experience.
"In the last 15 years, we have deliberately increased the diversity in our students. What we didn't have was a curriculum that leveraged that diversity to the fullest," Mr. Bolton says. "In making that shift, we really looked closely at the needs of students and needs of the business world."
Corporate Boost
Public institutions have often outpaced the marketplace in focusing on diversity, but having the added demand by corporations for minority hires has bolstered the universities' case for inclusion.
"The schools are looking for diversity not because of a business imperative, but a moral imperative. That came first," Mr. Bolton says. "But, I do think the fact that business is on board gives me as an admissions officer more leverage to go to the people that control the resources and say, 'Listen, we need to put more money into the National Society of Hispanic MBAs.'"
"Recruiters are looking for a diverse student body, so we at the engineering college are very keen to serving engineering companies throughout the country and the world," echoes Pramod Khargonekar, dean of the University of Florida College of Engineering [No. 3 in its debut on the engineering schools list]. "The first thing we hear is, 'We want a diverse student body from which to pick.'"
While a handful of the schools have been among the top 10 Best Schools for Hispanics since the directory was introduced, 10 universities have joined this year's list, edging out schools such as the University of Connecticut School of Law and New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. [The Top 20 schools are available at HispanicBusiness.com.]
"It's not difficult to get fluctuations year to year, but the hard thing is to increase enrollment and sustain it," says Robert Saltzman, associate dean of the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law [No. 4 this year]. "One big piece is not so much the recruitment piece but what happens when they're here and even when they graduate. In the end, the most effective way for us to convince students to choose to come here is [for them to] meet current students and meet graduates who tell them this was a good place to go to.
"It's different from an admissions officer saying a marketing spiel."
Legal Challenges
Every university has its unique set of challenges when building a diverse student population, from geographic limitations to immigration issues. But there is also a confusing legal backdrop.
"The second-largest issue facing enrollment is the decision the state of Oklahoma made regarding scholarship funding of National Hispanic Scholars," says Elizabeth Cook, director of diversity and the Multicultural Engineering Program at the University of Oklahoma College of Engineering [No. 8 on our list]. "Because this was viewed as an 'ethnic-based' scholarship program some of the funding was cut for this program and we no longer offer 'full rides' to these students."
Prior to the ruling, National Hispanic Scholars received the same scholarship program as National Merit students. To help make up the loss of money for its engineering students, the college has increased private funding awards for Hispanic students. This past year, the college of engineering had seven National Hispanic Scholars.
Another complication is the problematic status of affirmative action, says Mr. Saltzman at USC's Gould School of Law.
"The primary indicators that law schools use for predicting success of an applicant in law school are the undergraduate GPA and the LSAT [Law School Admission Test]. The problem we have experienced, particularly as more and more students have wanted to apply to law school, is that those two numbers, the LSAT and the GPA, instead of being used to open the door to law school, which is what they were originally meant to be, are being used as a way to keep people out."
He attributes his law school's success in increasing its minority enrollment to how it interprets these indicators. "It's a hard process because there is a lot of pressure on every school to get those numbers up."
Building Up Engineering
Engineering schools face some of the biggest challenges in recruitment of Hispanics. Although Hispanics make up 14 percent of the U.S. population, fewer than 5 percent have engineering degrees and an even smaller number have masters and doctorate degrees in engineering.
"As a nation, we don't produce enough Hispanic engineers at the undergraduate level, so only a small fraction of them are going to go to graduate school," says Mr. Khargonekar from University of Florida's College of Engineering. "We have a tremendous environment for Hispanics not only to come here but to come here and do really well.
"What we're doing now is building on top of undergraduate success to build up both the quality and the quantity of our graduate Hispanic student body."
The university is recruiting the help of its Hispanic graduate students and alumni members to serve as ambassadors.
"They're the best spokespeople for students," Mr. Khargonekar says. "When we bring new students, they're already connected with students who are doing well and feel good about being here."
Purdue University's College of Engineering [No. 2 for a second year] continues to place a high priority on recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty and graduate student population. In 2006, 13 percent of the new faculty hires at the College of Engineering were Hispanic, and in May, Purdue hired astrophysicist France Cordova as president, making her the first Hispanic woman to lead the West Lafayette, Indiana, campus.
Starting Earlier
While most diversity efforts begin with the application process, many admissions officers agree that in order to make a significant shift in the number of Hispanics pursuing higher education, more needs to be done at the middle and primary school levels, particularly in math and science.
"There is a funnel effect," Mr. Khargonekar explains. "The numbers of kids from [kindergarten through 12th grade] slowly drop out of science and math, and every step of the way you're going to lose students. By the time they get to grad schools, you've lost 99 percent of the students.
"I feel like there is a tremendous wall that we're fighting against," he adds. "As a country, we have not managed to take this problem and devote to it the kind of attention and resources that we need to. We pay a lot of lip service to it, but we don't demand results."
"I'm very proud of the fact that we're No. 1 in producing Hispanic undergraduates, but you look around the nation and you can say we're doing a pitiful job of solving the problems."

Today, Redemption Groups get a new look. Our new logo tells the story: Jesus and people.
Forgiveness of sin, healing for wounds and power for change have been been made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is at work in our groups, applying these blessings to our lives.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14–19).

San Antonio, TX (CNN) — Protesters turn out in San Antonio, Texas over the weekend for a rally aimed at saving the life of a dog named Buddy.
Buddy was taken from his family and quarantined by the city's Animal Care Services after attacking a 9-year-old girl in November. The dog's owner argues the girl provoked Buddy. It didn't matter to a local judge who ordered buddy to be euthanized, but attorney's filed a restraining order, saving Buddy's life until an appeal was made.
On Thursday, he was released from ACS into the care of a veterinarian. Still, supporters say they won't rest until buddy is back with his family.
Protester John Bachman also wants to see changes in the way the city handles cases like this, "We want to save Buddy, but we also want to see city procedures changed so this thing stops happening."
In Buddy's case, the dog has no history of violent or aggressive behavior.
The rally Saturday was just one of several grassroots efforts to help Buddy and his family.

A Mormon in the Aftermath of Prop 8
Guest blogger Vanessa: There are two sides to every story. Here's mine.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, known to most as the Mormon church. Two months ago, I had no idea what Proposition 8 was or how much it would affect me.
Deciding to support it was one of the greatest emotional conflicts I have ever been through in my entire life. I dearly love all of my gay friends. They are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met and I want them to be happy. I fully support domestic partnerships because I know that everyone wants to be with the one they love.
Yet there was an unsettled feeling in the pit in my stomach -- the definition of marriage. I am religious and believe the Biblical definition as being between a man and woman, going all the way back to Adam and Eve. Marriage is the crucial partnership that makes it possible to biologically have children together and seal a family unit.
But what would people think? Would they understand?
I wasn't alone in my confusion. Many of my church friends where going through the same turmoil. Firm in their beliefs, but not wanting to alienate their gay friends and coworkers.
After a month of praying about the issue, I came to a personal realization. What is this really about? The definition of marriage. Man and woman. I decided that I would follow my faith, although a large part of me was left sorrowful.
I didn't donate money to Yes on Prop 8, but like many others, I donated my time. I held "Yes on Prop 8" signs and went polling. I was flipped off, called horrible names and was the target of much yelling. It's okay, though, I understand. They have the right to yell, and I listened to what they had to say.
Could they understand? Could they know how much I still cared for them?
Election Day came. I was proud to see all of the "I Voted" stickers on everyone in my city and I celebrated what I thought would be a new era ... where we would come together to work through the issues facing our nation.
The next morning, Prop 8 passed. I was honestly surprised. I don't watch much TV, and all of the ads I had heard on the radio were against the proposition. Officials such as Governor Schwarzenegger and Senator Diane Feinstein (who I have complete respect for) had both opposed it.
Although I was glad that the hours of time invested had paid off, I was far from happy. My heart broke for all of the couples that woke up that morning, not knowing if they were married or not. I cried at my desk when I was alone. I couldn't imagine what they were going through and I prayed that they might be comforted.
That's when I noticed a change. People who opposed Prop 8 were angry. A completely natural reaction of course, but this was different. This was a kind of anger that I had never been exposed to. The anger seemed filled with hate and distrust ... and the search was on to find a reason Prop 8 passed. And someone to blame.
Then the protests started. I couldn't believe it at first. The blaming finger had pointed at the Mormon church, a religion that makes up under two percent of the California population (and later I found out that we made up LESS THAN FIVE PERCENT of the yes vote). Yes, a large portion of Yes on Prop 8's donations came from members of our church. But didn't they have the right to donate to a cause that they believed in?
And it wasn't just blame, it was accusations of hate and prejudice ... everything that I have stood against my entire life.
The protesters were at the Los Angeles Temple ... MY temple. My place of worship. Somewhere that I had always felt safe. I had so many emotions inside of me that I couldn't differentiate one from the other. Would they desecrate my place of worship? Would my family and friends be safe from harm?
I had to know for myself and headed down to the temple as soon as I got off work.
The sea of protesters were marching peacefully but were carrying cruel and offensive anti-Mormon signs. My heart sank and I left determined to prove their accusations wrong.
I wanted to make sure that my church friends understood the other side of the story and felt compassion for all those who were hurting.
I discovered that they already did understand. They were going through the same thing I was. Not all of them had even voted yes on the issue. But no matter how they voted, their hearts were still open to those who were standing against them.
Over the next few days, things were rough for both sides. The protesters continued, although I helplessly felt there was nothing I could do for them. Our gates were written on, they banged on the doors of our chapel and stood outside our parking lot to take photos of our license plates. The members who had donated money to Yes on Prop 8 were exposed online, open for attack.
Blog posts and emails from church members started to pop up everywhere -- messages of love and peace and encouragement. Every prayer at church that Sunday spoke for the safety of our members and that those who where yelling outside our gates would be comforted and feel our love for them.
This was not an issue of hate. For me, it was purely an issue of religious belief. We have all made sacrifices. Many have lost friends, and others abandoned by their coworkers. I, myself, had to find another place to live.
I believe that God loves all of us, and it is our duty to love one another as his children ... through all of the trials and tribulations that we face together.
It's nice that you don't feel hatred toward others and their choices but the actions of voting yes say otherwise. Couples everywhere feel the slap across the face that you and others dealt them. And I know first hand of a couple who may, in the not-so-distant future, have to tell their children why that special day they got married now means nothing.
i am episcopal and we were judged for letting a gay man be a bishop. we had people protest across the street from our entrance to our church. but these people were yelling horrible things….even to children (i'm talking 3 years old and 5 years old and up) saying HORRIBLE things that you don't want your child to hear. they had no right to say these things, especially in front of children. the funny thing, the weren't even episcopal…how did it effect them????? my marriage won't be in any trouble or it doesn't mean any less just because 2 women or 2 men get married. there was a time when a white and black person get married, how out dated is that? i'm sure i will get a lot of judgment for this post, but oh well. i know 2 women that have been together for 12 years, have a 3 year old son together, and it breaks my heart to know that if the biological mother loses her job, she can't get health insurance thru her loved one for her or THEIR child, or if the child gets in the hospital the "other mom" has NO right to see him, but most of all, they can't legally share the love the me and my husband have for eachother just because they are both women. who are we to tell someone they can't get married? shame on you for thinking that YOU have the right to tell someone else how to live their life.

The action of voting yes on Prop 8 does not show hatred of people, only hatred of a behavior.
It may be a slap across the face, but just because a few people feel hurt means that the church needs to change their stance? What happens to a church or a society that changes its values at people's whims?
The LDS church is not a democracy. Our government is. The people of CA voted in a democratic election.
So sorry, but it's awfully hard to feel sympathetic towards you (the author). I'm glad you can understand why this group of people are so angry, maybe next time you will be a little less selfish in your reasoning. This vote would take nothing away from any marriage you may have now or in the future, so why would it be such a hard decision for you? I noticed the sign in the picture above - Brigham Young had 55 wives, I want one…how true it is. There are so many people out there that ruin or taint the "sanctity" of marriage with lies, deceit, and cheating why don't we pass a law against this "group" instead? Domestic partnership means nothing if one of those partners passes away. The surviving partner loses all rights, so unless there was a will (which, lets face it, many people feel they are invincible) these "widows" could lose the very home they live in to their passed partners surviving blood family. Marriage might come from the bible, but it is has become the legal foundation of most people's lives in America - shouldn't we all get that right? If it comes from the bible then lets take "Marriage" away from any couple that was not married in the church (which would include myself and my husband), not from a group of people we decide to hand pick.
I also agree that it is thoughtful to look at both sides of this proposition. But when you say you chose to follow your beliefs when you voted is where I lose your respect. This has NOTHING to do with religion and everything to do with discrimination. There is supposed to be a seperation of church and state remember? Everything we as Americans strive for is to live by our founding fathers word. The very base of our country. So just because you belive that a marraige is between a man and woman doesn't mean a damn thing because you are going by the Bible. Here in a America we are a melding pot of religions and cultures. We don't all belive in God and I don't think our laws should be based off of the Bible. See where I am going. Do you know any biracial couples? Remember that used to be veiwed as unconstitutional. C'mon now.
What the mormons and conservative Catholics and Evangelicals have done to the gay community is pretty much what the Taliban did for decades in Afghanistan.
All in the name of God right? Let's take away people's legal and civil rights in the name of God.
I guess all the people who voted for Prop 8 (I voted against it, and prayed in my Catholic church, along with most of my NorCal parish, for it to not pass) feel that gay people aren't full citizens of this country or this state, and don't deserve LEGAL rights equal to the rest of the population.
Last time I checked, my marriage certificate was a legal document.
Regardless of the fact that I had a full religious ceremony in a church with a priest (and actually a bishop and archbishop in attendance), as far as the state of CA knows and cares, my marriage is a legal arrangement.
The gay population of CA has as much right to a legal arrangement of their choosing as the rest of us. It's discrimination on the highest scale to say otherwise.
I have to ask if this also a part of the writer's religious belief.
Racism in the writings of Brigham Young (second Mormon President)
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 10:110)
Do you still believe this?
So… this was purely a religious belief for you? Then why support a proposition to amend the state constitution? The first amendment in our US Constitution explicitly states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"
Hey… guess what this means… you can't pass a law that respects YOUR religious beliefs while diminishing others. If you believe that marriage is between a man and a woman… good for you, practice it yourself. You don't need a law to tell you that, your Bible apparently does a good enough job.
But to go out of your way and support something that limits the rights of others… I'm sorry, you shouldn't be surprised when those others get royally pissed (and rightly so).
Last time I checked, the reason why most Mormons were in Utah was because of religious discrimination that forced them out of Illinois and Indiana. I frankly think that it's a little silly that however many years later, this is the same church that pumped 25 million dollars into a campaign that essentially put religious discrimination into my state constitution.
I'm sorry, but you have none of my sympathy… and for you to claim that you dearly love all of your gay friends… all I'm going to say is apparently you don't love them enough to let them live their lives and be happy.
"After a month of praying about the issue, I came to a personal realization. What is this really about? The definition of marriage.."
- There was your error. No one was taking anything away from straight couples. My self and my partner on the other hand had our marriage taken away…and it is really really hard to say how that affects OUR children.
Your church and your religion misled you, that is why you feel so bad. You should. The next time this comes up, pray really really hard and LISTEN to what God is telling you. I am sure He wasn't telling you to strip rights away from you neighbor.
It was the black community that voted overwhelmingly (70%) YES on Prop 8 and that 70% put the yes votes over the top and because of that Prop8 passed. So why aren't people protesting black churches?
you are full of crap
The sad thing is that you think you feel compelled to force your religion on others. If you don't think that gay people should be married, then don't marry a gay person. My God is a loving God, and my God delights in both love and righteousness. Do what you want in your church. No one is forcing you to change that. However, your church has forced a change on the government. Mormons contributed more than half the money for the Yes on 8 campaign that included automated telephone calls just days before the election calls that were seemingly from Barack Obama and specifically targeting African American neighborhoods. The people who funded and made those calls knew that Barack Obama opposed Prop 8. But they intentionally used Barack's voice and a quote taken out of context to deceive voters. Is that what the Mormon Church is about?
Unfortunately, prejudice and bigotry have often hid in our country's history — behind the cloak of a voting booth curtain, underneath the sheet of a KKK hood, and in closed board rooms. I think it is great that the Mormon Church and other religious fundamentalists are being put under the spotlight. If you're going to violate separation of church and state (which itself is a manifestion of Holy Grace) and you're religion finds nothing better to do with their time and money than to deny other people the right to love and marry, then people have a right to know, and a right to be angry.
You say "That's when I noticed a change. People who opposed Prop 8 were angry." At first I wasn't angry. During the weeks that led up to the election, I was more upset than angry. I was upset that I lived in a community where every major intersection I came upon there were people waving signs and yelling that I was a second class citizen and that they wanted it to stay that way. It was very much the same feeling that you would get in high school when the group of Mean Girls targeted you to bully. As upset as I was, I kept saying to myself, that they were in the minority and everything would be okay. It turned to anger when Prop 8 passed and I realized that so many of my fellow statesmen DID think of me as a second class citizen. Just like being bullied by Mean Girls, it turns to anger when you say to yourself enough is enough and I won't be a victim anymore. It further angered me that churches that supposedly were teaching God's love were instead teaching exclusion and hate. While individuals within those faiths may have taken the higher road, the Institutions themselves took very clear positions (and yes, unfortuantely it was the LDS that was the biggest supporter). You obviously don't get it, when you say that "I dearly love all of my gay friends." If you truly loved these so-called Friends, you would live your life by your religious values and let them live their lives without your interference into their rights. I would never presume to interfere with your Freedom of Religion, as long as that Freedom did not insist that everyone else conform to its beliefs. This is a civil issue, not a religious issue. If you insist that Marriage is a religious institution defined by the bible, then the govenment should not be involved in anyone's marriage, including heterosexual couples, since it is clearly defined that there must be a separation of church and state. If that is truly the case ALL couples, both Opposite-Sex and Same-Sex
should only be granted Civil Unions and leave Marriage ONLY to churches.
History has proven: People will do unspeakable things to each other in the name of God. If God truly exists, I certainly can't believe that he would give his blessing to hate, persecution and inequality.
People have indeed protested at African American churches whose religious leaders and congregations actively campaigned for Prop 8's passage. They have also protested at conservative synagogues whose leaders did the same. And evangelical churches as well.
Mormons contributed the most to fund disceptive advertising (such as pretending Obama was for Prop 8 when he was on the record for being against it or scaring people into thinking their 2nd graders would be forced to study homosexual marriages). So you'll see more protesting at Mormon churches.
And if Mormons were the ones who funded Robo-calls to African American neighborhoods with Obama's voice encouraging them to vote Yes on 8 (which purposely misled the listeners on the other end, who knew Obama was on record opposing it), it's even hard to disentangle the Mormon influence over the African American vote in California.
In the Beginning God made Adam. He then made Eve. Steve came around thinking he could knock Eve out of the picture. Eve kicked his a$$. All of you No on 8 people - welcome to another a$$ kickin'
Hmmm… All I hear is "Waaaah" from the No on 8 side. You are so misled.
Mormons have the courage to stand up for thier beleifs even when it isn't the most popular thing to do.
The votes were cast in a democratic process….time to move on.
Wow. Where's the love in Lovin' It's post? Congratulations Vanessa. That's the kind of spite and homophobia you voted for. I hope you are proud to support and stand by this loveless poster.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Demands by San Diego's Tourism Marketing District to require Mayor Bob Filner to sign an operating agreement that would release administrative funds to the visitor promotions agency were tentatively denied Thursday by a San Diego Superior Court judge.
Filner has the discretion whether to sign the deal, something the mayor has argued since he first refused to give his blessing to the agreement, according to Judge Timothy Taylor's tentative ruling. He will issue a final decision after hearing oral arguments Friday afternoon.
The City Council renewed the TMD last November, but ex-Mayor Jerry Sanders did not sign the operating agreement before he left office. His successor, Filner, calls it a bad deal for taxpayers.
"I have maintained from the beginning that I am open to negotiating with the TMD representatives to come up with a deal that protects taxpayers," Filner said this afternoon. "I also recognize the importance of the tourism industry and want to give the TMD board the ability to market San Diego with a full complement of employees."
In his ruling, the judge pointed to the City Council's renewal resolution that authorizes -- but does not require -- the mayor or his designee to sign "an" agreement, not "the" agreement.
"A plain reading of the 2012 resolution simply does not yield the conclusion that the council directed the mayor to enter the specific contract petitioner now claims must be signed," Taylor wrote.
Sanders seemed to think he had discretion, since he didn't sign the deal, according to the judge.
"The court's tentative ruling was clear that it is within the City Council's authority to adopt a resolution that directs the mayor to sign the contract," said Terry Brown, the TMD's chairman of the board. He said the judge "has outlined the path forward."
The City Council attempted to clarify its intention this week with a proposed resolution that sought to require the mayor to sign the TMD operating agreement, but the document was returned to staff before it was introduced. The judge said he knew about the new resolution but was unaware of its fate as he wrote his ruling.
The judge said he knew about the new resolution but was unaware of its fate as he wrote his ruling.
Filner last week issued a counter-offer to the TMD which, among other things, called for stronger indemnification for the city in case a judge rules against the agency's funding mechanism, which is being challenged in a separate court action.
He also demanded that the TMD spend $6 million on the 2015 centennial celebration of Balboa Park, encourage member hotels to pay a living wage to employees, and prohibit funding to organizations that pay annual salaries above $160,000.
The agency rejected the demands.
The TMD receives a 2 percent surcharge on room rates to advertise San Diego as a destination. Money also goes to organizations that stage events that attract visitors.

For a second year in a row, David Staples of Edmonton Journal compared projections of Oilers' players. And for the second year in a row, the VUKOTA system created by Tom Awad of Hockey Prospectus came out on top.
According to Staples:
"On average, Awad was just 12.2 points out on his predictions for the 15 most commonly rated Oilers players. Mitchell was at 15.7, Katsaros, 16.9, the Hockey News, 17.4, Willis and The Sports Forecaster, 17.5, and Dobber Hockey, 18.3."
